Things never stop.

Every moment, some lives fall like meteors, but those who remain in the world still have to continue their journey.

After traveling south, Shi Jin arrived in Wozhou. Compared with the despair he felt when he went north, the reunion with his brother Lin Chong became the happiest event for him in the past few years. Speaking of the ups and downs in troubled times,

In the impassioned anti-gold cause, what we see along the way is just a mixture of misery and desolation. Most of the romantic things in life and death only exist in the beautification of others. When you are in it, the world is the same.

mud.

Only the reunion with Lin Chong was still alive. This brother's survival and even enlightenment made people feel that there was still a way to survive in this world.

He took over the responsibility of finding Lin Chong's child. After arriving in Wo Prefecture, he looked for local snakes. The Green Forest people began to pursue clues. Before the internal strife in Chifeng Mountain, although he was a powerful man in the world, he had never run Wo Prefecture after all. This pursuit

It took some time to find out about that shocking night in Vaud.

Shi Jin was about to laugh out loud at the competition between the ground and the ground. Lin Zongwu regarded himself very highly throughout his life and always claimed that his martial arts was the best in the world. More than ten years ago, he sought out Grandmaster Zhou Tong for a martial arts competition but failed. More than ten years later, he was defeated by the Lin Chong brothers.

He was defeated by the gun inexplicably, and I don't know what his mood and appearance were at this time.

Thinking again about Brother Lin's martial arts skills now being so powerful, after seeing each other again, even if they don't seek big things, the two of them will imitate Master Zhou and run for the world, make friends with three or five righteous men, kill golden dogs and eliminate traitors, and only do the few things that they can do in front of them.

It is also a joy to be proud of the world.

With this plan, he temporarily calmed down. While searching for the whereabouts of Mu Anping, he waited for Lin Chong's return, and also inquired about the whereabouts of Qi Ao from the Qi family. However, as time passed, Mu Anping's whereabouts became unknown.

There was no news about Lin Chong, and the uneasiness in Shi Jin's heart finally gathered. Even if he suppressed it, it would inevitably surge up again and cause waves.

On the sixth day after arriving in Wo Prefecture, he still could not find the whereabouts of Tan Lu and Mu Anping. He estimated that due to the martial arts skills of the Yilin brothers, they might have delivered the things or they were intercepted and killed on the way. In short, there should be some news.

came. Then I heard a news coming from the north.

One day ago, Wang Juyun's troops stationed in the north suddenly sent troops to the southeast, and the target was Yucheng to the east of Wo Prefecture. When the news came, Wo Prefecture also immediately started martial law. Soldiers went to the city and began to beware of sneak attacks from the other side.

Feeling the chilling atmosphere of the approaching military front, the people in Wozhou City began to become panicked, and Shi Jin was awakened by this atmosphere.

He knew what was going to happen.

The preparations for the Jurchens in the north to move south are almost complete, and many forces in the Puppet Qi Dynasty are more or less aware of this. To the south of Yanmen Pass, the territory of the King of Jin is still nominally subordinate to the Jurchens, but privately it has already been in tandem with the Black Flag Army

rise

Later, Wang Juyun, a righteous soldier who had already launched the banner of resisting the Jin Dynasty, also disappeared during last year's Tianhu Rebellion. Although the two sides were opposed in name, they had actually been secretly communicating with each other. Wang Juyun's troops were approaching Wozhou, and there was no way he was going to fight against them.

King Jin took action.

In the direction of Yucheng, there is a branch of the great scholar Qi Yan's clan.

The wind is rumbling, the final tense situation is tense, and life and death has begun.

He thought of many things. In the early morning of the next day, he left Wozhou City and started walking south. Martial law had begun along the way. Half a day after leaving Wozhou, he suddenly heard that the Moyun Army guarding Huguan in the southeast had rebelled.

The Moyun Army was under the control of Lu Hui, Yun Zongwu and others. During the rebellion, their plans were exposed and they were fighting fiercely in the Huguan area.

Going further south, we saw soldiers looming all along the way. A great chaos seemed to be breaking out without warning. Many gentry families and those who originally held high positions in the Jin Dynasty system had been affected. The army marched out from various places.

In the city, every wealthy family's mansion was ransacked and ransacked. The old, weak, women, and children of these wealthy families were all captured and taken to the city. Some people in the city even began to be beheaded in public display.

There were many power struggles in the Jin-Prince system in the past, but the scale of the impact was probably not as huge as this time.

Shi Jin knew it well.

Ever since he received the intelligence about the "clown" of the Chinese Army, he came all the way to King Jin's territory. There were fierce interceptions and killings on the way, but there were not many responders. Shi Jin knew in his heart that the intelligence was probably true, otherwise the south

A group of forces will never be so anxious to jump over the wall, because they know very well that as soon as the news is sent, everyone's trump cards will be revealed. On the contrary, if they can intercept people in the middle of the road, many things can be denied afterwards.

.

But this information is by no means the only one he has. With that "clown"'s scheming attitude, why would he put his eggs in one basket and let the Black Flag Army go north to operate? If he even needs to find someone temporarily to transmit information,

That's really a joke.

Maybe he was just a bait, luring all kinds of people with ulterior motives secretly to show up. Even those who were not on the list might be exposed. Shi Jin had no complaints about this, but now in King Jin's territory

, this huge chaos suddenly arose, which can only prove that Tian Shi, Lou Shuwan, Yu Yulin and others have identified their opponents and started to attack.

Where did Brother Lin finally send the message...

At this time, the surrounding official roads had been blocked. Shi Jin went all the way south and arrived at Xingzhou City. He sneaked into the city according to the past agreement and found several old Chifeng Mountain troops.

He was disheartened when he went to his old subordinates. If this matter had not been urgent, he would never have dragged these old subordinates down again.

Leaving Xingzhou and traveling eastward, when they arrived at the Leping Camp near Liaozhou, half of Yu Yulin's army had already moved towards Huguan. There was also a killing spree inside and outside Leping City. Shi Jin thought about it for a long time before letting his old troops show up.

When he got his name, he went to see Lou Shuwan, who happened to be in charge of the game in Leping at this time.

Soon after, he learned the whereabouts of Lin Chong.

The messenger at this time had just been buried.

The autumn wind whimpered, Le Pingcheng was outside, and the city walls were still being reinforced. On this day, Shi Jin felt great sadness. It was not the sadness of the earthen jars that were constantly breaking by the wells on the battlefield all year round, but that everything was heading towards the darkness.

The sinking despair of sorrow

, starting from Grand Master Zhou and others more than ten years ago, like moths to the flame, in these more than ten years, all the beautiful things he saw have been destroyed in the chaos. Those who fought, those who once fought side by side, love

The person on the top, the person who shoulders the friendship of the past...

After more than ten years, Brother Lin was finally swallowed up by the darkness in the few days after their reunion.

The Jurchens went south, and the black flag was sent...

In the military camp where there were still blood stains, Shi Jin could almost hear the last shouts of the other party. Li Shuangyou's rebellion was unexpected. If he had come here by himself, he might have been deeply involved, but Shi Jin also felt that

, such an ending seems to be what Lin Chong is pursuing.

He stayed in the military camp for a long time and then went to see Lin Chong's grave. That night, torches were brightly lit on the city wall of Leping, and workers were still working hard to reinforce the city wall. Various shouts were mixed with sounds of panic. The man named Lou

Shu Wan's female prime minister was inspecting and arranging the progress of the entire project, and would be rushing to the next city soon. She wanted to see Shi Jin again, and Shi Jin also had something to ask of him.

"...I asked Shi Yingxiong to forgive me for not offering any assistance on the way south. Because this summons was true and false, there were more than one or two people who claimed to have come south with information. The Jurchen Valley God also sent people to mix it up. In fact,

We took the opportunity to see many hidden traitors, and the Jurchens are taking this opportunity to let people express their opinions and want to sway those who want to sway, because the list sent down has no room for swaying."

The fire on the city wall was extinguished. This woman in a black dress with a cold expression looked strong. Only martial arts masters like Shi Jin could see the physical fatigue of the other person. As she walked, she spoke, although her words were cold.

But it has surprisingly calming power: "At this time, I will

Let’s not beat around the bush, the Jurchens’ march south is imminent, and the world is in danger. Shi Yingxiong ran Chifeng Mountain back then and is still very influential today. I wonder if he is willing to stay and fight alongside us. I know that Shi Yingxiong is heartbroken over the death of his friend, but

Given the current situation... please forgive Shi Yingxiong."

Seeing the fatigue and tenacity in the other party's eyes, Shi Jin suddenly felt that his management in Chifeng Mountain seemed to be inferior to that of a woman. After the internal strife in Chifeng Mountain, there was a fight, and Shi Jin was forced to leave with his tribe.

But there are still tens of thousands of people left on the mountain. If King Jin can help him, he can take back Chifeng Mountain by himself. However, at this moment, he did not agree after all.

"If it were normal, Shi would never refuse this matter. However, my brother, at this time, some relatives have fallen into the hands of traitors and have not been rescued. It is not a pity for Shi to die, but no matter what, I must do this."

...I came here this time to ask Miss Lou for some help..."

Shi Jin clasped his hands and briefly told what happened to Lin Chong. Lin Chong's child fell into Tan Lu's hands, and finding it by himself was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was too urgent at this time. Otherwise, with his character, he would never ask for help.

.As for Lin Chong’s enemy Qi Ao, it doesn’t matter how long it takes to kill him, it’s still a trivial matter.

Lou Shuwan listened quietly and nodded: "Because of the roster issue, the surrounding areas may be in chaos. To be honest with Shi Yingxiong, Qi Yan's family has already taken refuge with the Jurchens and supported Li Xizhi in the north. On the side of King Jin,

It is also the center of this cleanup. If Qi Aoru is really a descendant of the Qi family, he may have been arrested now and will be interrogated and executed soon.

Regarding the matter of searching for people, a military disaster is imminent. I am sorry that I cannot send people to deal with Shi Yingxiong specially. However, I can prepare a warrant for Shi Yingxiong and let the local governments expediently cooperate with Shi Yingxiong to investigate the case. The situation is chaotic this time, and there are many local snakes and green forest people.

They should all be arrested by the government for questioning. With this warrant, Shi Yingxiong should be able to ask for some information, but I don’t know if this is possible."

"Girl, you are so kind and kind, I will repay you later." Shi Jin handed over his hand.

"Shi Yingxiong sent a letter to the south. He is a great virtue. Such a small effort makes Lou feel guilty..." The woman also cupped her hands: "I have to rush back to Liaozhou City tonight. I won't say more. I will be destined to fight in the future.

See you."

A slight smile appeared on her cold face, and then she said goodbye and left. Officials who had come to report had been waiting around. Shi Jin watched this strange woman leave, and then looked at the busy scene up and down the city wall.

The peasants dragged huge stones, shouted slogans, and strengthened the city walls. Women and children who were organized also participated in the process.

During this time, in the shouting and noise, people's faces also showed fear for the unknown future. More than ten years ago, when the Jurchens went south for the first time, I seemed to have seen a similar scene. People were in panic.

Seizing every opportunity to build a line of defense, for more than ten years, everything has been sinking, and the slim hope is still slim.

More than ten years ago, Zhou Yingxiong generously died. More than ten years later, Brother Lin died in the same way after meeting him again.

In these more than ten years, the huge darkness has never faded away, and it is finally coming again. Even if we go up to it, I am afraid it will just be another round of death.

When will this kind of world come to an end?

The world was about to be in chaos. Concerned about finding Lin Chong's child, Shi Jin left Leping and headed north again. He knew that soon, a huge whirlpool would completely crush the order in front of him, and the possibility of finding Lin Chong's child would become even more slim.

.

But so what...

Same July.

Thousands of miles away, black flags were waving in the undulating foothills. The Liangshan Mountains in the southwest, where the Ni people live, were also in a tense and solemn atmosphere.

Since June, the Black Flag Army Liu Chengzong led eight thousand troops out of the Liangshan area and went to Xuzhou to guard the southwest during the Wu Dynasty. The Wu Xiang Army, which had had several conflicts with the Black Flag Army, began to suppress the situation under the leadership of General Lu Qiaoshan.

In early July, nearly 100,000 troops forced their way into the Jinsha River Basin near Liangshan and directly drove into Huangmaogeng, the hinterland between the Big and Little Liangshan Mountains, blocking the roads in and out.
