“The calm before the storm, it’s like the storm is about to come!”

The black-clothed monk walked on the wall of Jincheng and stood at the east city gate, looking at the location of Wuyuan City, the seat of the state government. He could not offer wine to the court as soon as possible, or the Taoist monks could look at the qi and see the rising qi of the earth, and the number of human qi. Although he was consumed by the great epidemic, he was still aware of the devastation coming from the sky. He had broken free from his own control and began to wreak havoc across the border states.

Later, the monk who broke the precepts came to the west city gate. In his ears, he vaguely heard the sound of gold and iron as swordsmen clashed with each other. In front of his eyes, in a daze, the light of the sword flashed like a full moon.

"This must be the result of me repeatedly interfering with my destiny, and finally suffering the backlash of cause and effect. Somehow, the leader of the horse thief who used that magic sword has already understood at least three points of the essence, enough to rival me. In this battle, even I’m not even sure of winning!”

Monk Cizhou looked at his hands and remembered the oath he made not long ago. After all, fearless confidence is better than all worries. He couldn't help laughing a few times, and all the messy thoughts in his mind disappeared like smoke. .

"In the way of military strategy, there is no reason to passively wait to be beaten. It is natural to take the initiative and take the opportunity into your own hands, so that you can strategize and transform the situation according to your heart."

However, the epidemic has broken out in the state capital, and the strength of the border areas in the north of the country will definitely be greatly reduced. If the surrounding countries find out what is true and false, they will definitely not continue to remain calm, and they will definitely use some crooked ideas.

It may not be impossible to drive away wolves and devour tigers, but people who cast stones to ask for directions will definitely appear. Whether it is horse thieves in the desert, or the sand bandit alliance that dominates the Gobi in the vast sea, asking for information from passing merchants will inevitably give rise to the ambition to go south to hunt. .

"It will have to be postponed until at least next year, when the evil star Rahu turns out to be born, and the great epidemic caused by it will dissipate. Only when my lay disciple Zhang Xiaojing monopolizes the foundation of the Jincheng family can it truly be stabilized, instead of rushing into the scene. In the blink of an eye, this journey of smoke and dust will have to come to an end."

The monk who broke the precepts was worried about the dominance of his disciple. Although the current situation was the same, monk Cizhou worked secretly and sold his face to forcefully open the situation. Zhang Xiaojing's own ambitions were also reflected in his partner Xiao Gui's. Amid the persuasion from others, it sprouted like weeds.

Of course, Zhang Xiaojing, who commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jincheng in front of the black-robed monk who was like his master and father, and who had developed a bit of the air of a superior, was still a humble disciple practicing the rites of a disciple.

However, the desire for power hidden deep in his eyes was like a blazing ambition. The broken monk could estimate the reality without looking at it with his eyes.

"Desolation has fallen from the sky, and the border areas in the north of the Great Wall are becoming more and more dilapidated. The military and political affairs have been ruined and collapsed, and the officials guarding the territory have fled. It is the common people who suffer. In order to have a good meal, the hungry people take risks and are unable to accomplish anything. ?This is the harbinger of troubled times to come!”

Before Monk Cizhou looked back, he knew that the most powerful general around his disciple, the man whose common name was Xiao Gui, had been ordered to come again to listen to "the teachings of his mentor."

He gave some casual instructions and suddenly remembered the principle of nipping dangerous seeds in the bud. He smiled and said, "Everything in Jincheng has been completed. The poor monk has fulfilled his wish and wants to go on a far journey."

When Xiao Gui learned that the black-robed monk was leaving, he couldn't help but get up and reach out to grab the sleeve robe. Unfortunately, a strong wind blew up and he couldn't catch it at all, which was a bit embarrassing.

The monk who broke the precepts ignored this and continued: "First of all, seal the Leaze Garden and no outsiders are allowed to enter! Secondly, prepare three horses, armor, long and short weapons, bows and arrows, and food and grass for me. You must prepare enough amounts.

If this long journey to the west can be accomplished, Jincheng will be less of a threat, and my disciple will not have to face enemies from both sides. After all, our great cause has just begun, and we do not have the energy to win two tough battles."

For Xiao Gui, at least from the intelligence collected, he knew that an unprecedented epidemic broke out in Wuyuan City, where the state capital is located, and its severity was many times worse than that of Jincheng.

In order to prevent the resurgence of the epidemic, Jincheng had long cut off its connections with other places. All the bridges across the mountains and rivers were dug and torn down, and the carriage roads on land were also dug up to prevent the plague from coming back.

However, the news that Jincheng has a decoction to ward off the epidemic, and that the pills are extremely effective, has long been spread throughout the state capital through passing merchants. For a chance to survive, the people who dragged their families and rushed to the direction of Jincheng did not know

how many.

If not, the people were mixed and the miasma was contagious, causing most people to die on the road, and the remaining people found that there was no way forward and had to retreat, the pressure on Jincheng would only be heavier.

This is a battle where no gunpowder can be seen! People outside are desperately trying to get in, but Jincheng has experienced the pros and cons of the epidemic and does not want to see the plague wreak havoc again.

After hearing Xiao Gui's report, the black-clothed monk pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered the allusion of Dayu's flood control, and immediately said with a smile: "It is better to block the flood than to clear it! Just send someone to send decoctions and anti-epidemic pills, which will be enough to send away the relevant people. If nothing else works,

, there are also merchants from the past who can be used, recruit them to sell it privately, and the profits will be divided into 50%. Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, and there must be some people who are willing to take risks!"

"As for the parents of the state government officials and the powerful families in each city, they can exchange prescriptions for various supplies. In troubled times, food and grass are the most important. If my disciple wants to use troops from all directions in the future, the food and grass reserves must be sufficient.

, exchanging prescriptions for food must be done as soon as possible!”

Xiao Gui also had this plan in mind, but he was afraid that his words would be soft and not convincing enough. Now that he heard it from the monk in black, he secretly laughed and nodded in agreement.

He thought to himself: "If I was valued back then, I would just be close to him day and night and listen to Master Cizhou's teachings. Brother Zhang, now that he is sitting in Jincheng, I am afraid that he is a little neglectful. I don't think about it, if it weren't for the master's guidance.

He traveled to seven villages and eight nearby villages to collect talents from the countryside. How can a mere mediocre person shake down the powerful families, gangs, gangs and other forces that have been pushed back in the past? "

As Zhang Xiaojing's brother, Xiao Gui, the former yamen thief and bad guy, had been exposed to him for a long time, and he couldn't help but have some ambitions in his heart. Unfortunately, he missed the beginning, and everything that followed was missed by him.

Monk Cizhou didn't know that people's hearts were dark and harbored terrible selfish desires. He didn't need to think too much about it. He only focused on the near future and his journey to the west that would change the overall situation.

"I remember that in the far west, separated by long stretches of yellow sand and roaming bandits, the Anxi Protectorate established by the empire had no reinforcements or supplies, and was always facing the threat of the highlander army. I'll go and help! I hope.

This move can change the tragic and heroic fate of the Anxi Army!"

With just this thought, the power of breaking up the cause and effect of the black-clothed monk began to surge. If the miasma hadn't ravaged all parts of the state and violently consumed the people who would have died, the power of rejection in this life would have been even more serious.

Only then did the monk who broke the precepts deeply realize how unfathomable the gravity of fate is. Even if he works hard and reverses the established trajectory, fate will still go around in circles and eventually return to the track.

"God's will is so high that we cannot fathom it. Humanity's affairs are all determined by luck. If I want to change my destiny against the will of heaven, but I still can't do it, then I will do my best to change the fate of that iron-blooded Anxi Army! This time,

I overwhelm everything!"
