In a blink of an eye, another three days passed. Zhang Shaozong's clothing factory was officially renamed as Xiangdi Clothing Co., Ltd. and opened for business. It focuses on men's clothing and women's clothing. The first one to promote is the women's clothing brand Beauty Square. Silk stockings are the first step to become famous.

In three days, Beauty Shop has successively opened stores in more than a dozen towns such as Wuling City and Pingyang Town, which is close to Wuling City. The results are also very gratifying. The stores in each town are selling well. Although countless people have accused the stockings of being immoral, but buying

However, the number of people has not decreased but increased, and sales are getting higher day by day.

Facts have once again proved that people's mouth is never as honest as their body actions.

The opening of Beauty Shop is in full swing here, and the sales of silk stockings are getting hotter day by day. On the other side, three days have passed, and Zhang Jinzhong and Zhang Jiucheng, who led the troops on the expedition, also entered Taoyuan and Jiu'an one after another.

At night, in the dark mountains and forests of Jiu'an territory, Zhang Jiucheng led his army to march. They had entered Jiu'an territory yesterday morning and advanced smoothly without any obstacles. If they continue to follow the speed of the new army, they will be able to arrive directly tomorrow afternoon.

Jiu'an's core is Jiu'an City, and as long as Jiu'an's warlord army defeats Jiu'an and takes Jiu'an City, Jiu'an will be completely captured.

After entering the territory of Jiu'an, Zhang Jiucheng also gained a preliminary understanding of the power of the warlords in Jiu'an through information collection. The commander-in-chief of Jiu'an was named Zhou, and was known as Zhou Mazi in the Jianghu. He was originally a big bandit, and later cooperated with the Huang family in Jiu'an to obtain Huang.

With the support of the family, they occupied Jiu'an in one fell swoop and turned into a warlord commander with about a thousand people under his command, and their troops were mainly concentrated in Jiu'an City. This was the reason why they encountered no obstacles along the way.

The Huang family is the largest family in Jiu'an, rich and powerful. Now the entire Jiu'an is basically jointly controlled by Zhou Mazi and the Huang family, with Zhou Mazi in the light and the Huang family in the dark.

"Captain, we have been traveling continuously for more than three hours. Why don't you take a rest? Brothers are all tired too."

At this time, a battalion commander next to him said.

"Okay, let's take a rest. Let everyone rest in place for half an hour, eat some solid food and drink some water, and then continue on the road, trying to reach Jiu'an early tomorrow and win it early."

"Soldiers are expensive and quick. We cannot give the enemy too much time to prepare."

To be honest, Zhang Jiucheng was a little nervous when he led troops to fight for the first time. However, he knew that he could not show it, but he needed to stay calm, because he was now the leader of an army and was responsible for the important tasks of the entire army. If he were nervous,

If you can't keep calm, then there will be no need to fight this battle, and you can't live up to Zhang Shaozong's trust.

After receiving Zhang Jiucheng's order, the army immediately rested on the spot.

"I'm going to have a big one. Who wants to come with us?"

"Wait for me, I'll go too. I just have diarrhea."

"Damn it, you two go farther away, don't make us all stink to death."

"Don't worry, let's go to the other side of the hillside."

"Be careful, there's something going on in the mountains and wild forests. I'll catch your butts later when you poop."

Someone said it deliberately to scare people.

"I'm afraid of a hammer. I have a gun in my hand. If there is a real ghost, I will kill him with one shot. Let's go, Lao Zhao, I can't hold it in anymore and I'm about to break through."

"Wait a minute, I'll pick some leaves and wipe my butt later."

"..."

The two of them said that and quickly walked deep into the woods behind.

After a while.

"Old Zhao, do you feel something is wrong? Why do I feel a little chilly behind my back?"

"I think about it a little bit, and I have an inexplicable feeling of fear. It feels like there is a pair of eyes staring at me from behind."

While the two were talking, in the darkness, two green ghost hands slowly emerged from the soil behind them.

Whoosh!

Finally, the ghost hand grabbed the two of them and pulled them down. Before they could scream, they were dragged directly into the ground, and then only a large amount of blood could be seen emerging from the ground like a fountain.

.............

Wuling, Marshal's Mansion, in the morning, Zhang Shaozong had just finished practicing Maoshan Boxing.

"Commander, it's not good. News came from the third regiment in Jiu'an that something happened."

A soldier hurried in from outside to report.

"what's the situation?"

Zhang Shaozong couldn't help but stare at him when he heard this.

"News came from the third regiment. They were attacked inexplicably when passing through a mountain forest called Shanshen Mountain on the road in Jiu'an. More than a dozen brothers have been missing. The murderer is probably a ghost. Now the team is panicked and some

I couldn’t get through, and my missing brother couldn’t be found, so he was stopped there.”

"Ghost?"

Zhang Shaozong's eyes flashed.

"Go and call the deputy commander and Shaowu."

"yes."

Not long after, Zhang Jizong and Zhang Shaowu arrived.

"Handsome."

"I just received news that something happened on the road to Jiucheng's Third Regiment. They may have encountered ghosts, and more than a dozen brothers have disappeared. Shaowu, go and gather the brothers from the independent battalion immediately, take the guys with you, and wait.

Please follow me to support the third regiment. Brother, you continue to lead the first regiment to stay in Wuling."

"yes."

After explaining that his eldest brother would continue to stay in Wuling with the people of the first regiment, Zhang Shaozong immediately took more than 500 people from Zhang Shaowu's independent battalion and set off directly for Jiu'an.

.....................

Jiu'an, outside the Mountain God Mountain, Zhang Jiucheng looked at the Mountain God Mountain in front of him with an ugly face.

"Captain, we can't send any more people in. There are weird things in this mountain. Counting the investigation team, more than 20 brothers have gone missing."

The adjutant next to me advised.

After discovering that someone was missing last night and noticing something strange in the mountain, they withdrew from Shanshen Mountain overnight. Then Zhang Jiucheng sent a special investigation team of more than ten people with a flare gun to investigate. As a result, this team entered the mountain and immediately

No news at all.

From the beginning to the end, they didn't even see anything about the enemy, and none of the missing people could be found, except for some large patches of blood left on the ground.

Now the whole team is a little scared and dare not go into the mountain again.

Zhang Jiucheng's face was extremely ugly, and in the end he had no choice but to sigh. He had no one but no gun, but in the face of such a strange thing, there was nothing he could do. He originally wanted to capture Jiu'an in one fell swoop and show off in front of Zhang Shaozong so that others could

It also seemed that Zhang Shaozong paid great attention to him and promoted him to the head of the regiment. He did not misjudge the person. However, he did not expect that he would encounter this kind of thing halfway before reaching Jiu'an City.

"Let everyone camp where they are. I have sent a message back to the commander-in-chief. I will wait for the commander-in-chief's subsequent orders and send people to the surrounding villages and towns to inquire about what is going on in the mountains."

"yes."

At the same time, inside the Mountain God Mountain, three figures stood together, looking at Zhang Jiucheng and other troops in front of the mountain.

One of them was wearing a military uniform with a sinewy face and a gangly look, the other was wearing a long gown and folding a fan with an arrogant demeanor, and the last one was an old woman with a stooped and skinny figure.

The three points are Zhou Mazi, the commander-in-chief of Jiu'an, Huang Bingcheng, the eldest young master of the Huang family, and the famous Zhou goddess in Jiu'an, known as Zhou Gu.

"Young Master Huang's clever plan. He blocked these people from Wuling in front of the mountain without spending a single soldier. They didn't dare to advance even an inch. It's so powerful that I, Old Zhou, admire it."

Seeing the Wuling army stationed in front of the mountain and no longer daring to enter the mountain, Zhou Mazi excitedly praised Huang Bingcheng next to him, but it was on the first day that Zhang Jiucheng led his army into Jiu'an territory that he got the news.

Originally, he planned to lead his troops out to fight directly, but at this time Huang Bingcheng came up with a plan, which was to find Wu Shenpo.

After receiving a large sum of money, Zhou Shenpo said that she had invited the mountain gods, who would help ensure that the Wuling army could not cross the mountain.

Zhou Mazi was originally doubtful about this, but he didn't expect that Zhang Jiucheng's army lost more than ten people as soon as they entered Shanshen Mountain last night. Now that they were blocked outside, they no longer dare to enter the mountain.

Huang Bingcheng couldn't help but look proud when he heard Zhou Mazi's praise, and said slowly.

"I heard that the new commander-in-chief of Wuling is named Zhang Shaozong. He is only in his early twenties. I don't know how Sun Shangtian did it. He was defeated by such a young boy. But if Zhang Shaozong still wants to stay with me for a long time, he is overestimating his capabilities.

, If you want to enter Jiu'an, you won't ask me whether the Huang family and Zhou Shuai will agree."

"Of course, the main reason why we can stop these Wuling troops today is because of Zhou Gu's Taoism and Xuanxuan."

"That's right, that's right, Aunt Zhou is very knowledgeable in Taoism and has great magical powers. Zhou admires her."

Zhou Mazi then looked at the rickety and skinny goddess Zhou Gu.

"Shuai Zhou is overrated. I'm an old lady. I'm just a fool. What I can do is mainly due to the great power of the Mountain God. With the help of the Mountain God, I don't think those Wuling people can even take half a step up the mountain."

Zhou Shenpo smiled, but her smile gave people a sinister feeling.
