Chapter 24 A Possible Crisis
(collection, collection)

And everyone in the black guard thought it was because Zhao Jingxiu made a breakthrough and reached the bone refinement state that his master handed him the Taizu Changquan and the ten bloody battle moves, so none of them said anything.

Who let them not know that Shangguan Qiuyu can clearly know everyone's loyalty, and Shangguan Qiuyu didn't explain that much to them, but told everyone that as long as whoever breaks through and gets his approval, he can become a guard a member of the team.

This made everyone very happy, and everyone broke through as soon as possible, so that they could enter the guard team as soon as possible.

After all, the guards follow their master every day, and if Shangguan Qiuyu has any good things, he will definitely distribute them to the guards first.

This made them not jealous, especially those water bandits who joined later, they saw that Zhao Jing also joined the guard, which made them feel more at ease.

Shangguan Qiuyu's unintentional actions allowed the newcomers to completely eliminate the barriers between them and the black-clothed guards in their hearts.

Moreover, the members of the Black Guards seldom put on airs when teaching them. Instead, they pass on some of their own experience to the newcomers, allowing them to master the moves more quickly.

"Tell me about the distribution of forces in Yunhu Lake this day, especially those near us. The more detailed the better."

"Yes, Master"

After tidying up for a while, Zhao Jing said to him:

"Master, as far as my subordinates know, there are a total of 28 big and small families in Tianyun Lake. Among them, there are three most powerful families, namely 'Sky Wolf Village, Tianyun Village and Cao Gang'. These three families control Tianyun Lake. The three imports and exports.

Each of them has no less than 3000 people, and each of them is not weak, and their subordinates are all capable people, and the leaders of the three families are also at the peak of physical training. Got it.

It is useless for those forces under the three families to redeem their subordinates. The subordinates are not very clear about it. The first three families were mentioned by the big leader and the second leader a year ago. "

Seeing that Zhao Jing knew very little, Shangguan Qiuyu asked in disappointment:

"Aren't you from Jishui County?"

"The subordinate is from Sanchuan County, and came to Tianyun Lake more than a year ago." Zhao Jing replied honestly.

Shangguan Qiuyu frowned and said:
"Then you should know about the water villages near us, right?"

"The subordinates know that apart from the one you are planning to attack, master, there are four other factions around us, and three of them are weaker, with about 800 people.

And the last family farthest from us is a family called Jishui Village. They have more than 2000 people. All the forces in the north of us have to pay money to Jishui Village every year for safety.

I heard that the head of the Jishui village is a woman, but the subordinates have never seen it before. It's just that they send people down to collect money every June. The water village was annexed. "

"Female water thief? Interesting!"

"By the way, where are the three houses in Tianlang Village? How far are they from us?"

"The three of them are all gathered in the south, and they are not real water bandits, they mainly help merchants transport goods.

They generally don't care about the water bandits in Tianyun Lake, unless there is a family that threatens their status, otherwise they will not care about the normal life of the water bandits in Tianyun Lake. "

"So that's how it is." Hearing what Zhao Jing said, Shangguan Qiuyu realized that his initial worries and cautions were superfluous.

At the same time, Zhao Jing said:
"The Tianyun Lake where we are located is the junction of Tianlong County, Tianshui County and the waterways of the three counties of Tianyong County, close to the Nanman gathering place.

A hundred years ago, Tianyun Lake was crowded with merchant ships, and the special products produced by Nanman needed to use waterways to pass through Tianyun Lake, and then transported to Jingzhou and even the Central Plains.

However, because the imperial court used troops against the Nanman, the Nanman retreated more than 3000 miles, and now about half of the counties and counties in Jingzhou have been taken from the Nanman.

At this point, the original advantage of Tianyun Lake was lost, and it was also because the imperial court obtained a large piece of land in the hands of Nanman.

Afterwards, the imperial court issued a plowing order, which caused the population of Jishui and even half of Tianyuan County to drop sharply. So far, Tianyun Lake has completely declined. "

"Press?"

This Zhao Jing didn't know the power of Tianyun Lake, but he had a deep understanding of the terrain and history of Tianyun Lake and even Jingzhou, which made Shangguan Qiuyu a little puzzled.

After thinking about it, Zhao Jing said mysteriously:

"Master, I think the forces in Jingzhou will undergo a big change in the near future. If the master can capture one of the three forces and grab a ferry before the big change, the master's power will definitely advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time after the big change."

Suddenly, Shangguan Qiuyu said coldly:

"Who are you? And why do you know this?"

Seeing his master suddenly questioning him coldly, Zhao Jing was taken aback, and quickly confessed honestly:
"This subordinate is just a foreigner who escaped from Sanhe County. The reason why he knows this is because he kindly saved an old scholar. The old scholar told me before he left.

And it is precisely because I listened to his words that I came to Tianyun Lake to try my luck. I wanted to take refuge in a powerful water village first, so that I could have a chance to change my destiny.

Originally, I was going to join the Cao Gang, but I heard that the three families of the Cao Gang didn’t accept outsiders, so I didn’t go. It’s just that shortly after I entered Tianyun Lake, I was forcibly forced by the big leader and the second leader joined them. "

"Sanchuan County is very close to Nanban?" Shangguan Qiuyu asked.

Zhao Jing said with a mournful face:
"Recently, in the past few years, the southern barbarians have invaded my city in southern Xinjiang every year, and Sanhe County was almost attacked several times. I had to escape."

He really didn't expect that he would cause dissatisfaction with his master when he said these words. At the same time, he couldn't help scolding the old scholar who told him these words in his heart.

'Could it be that the Nanban is about to invade? Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't help but think of this possibility in his heart, and at the same time his head felt depressed.

After a while, he shook his head and said to himself:
"Never mind him! Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be a tall man to take care of him. I'm just a small role now, and I have no more than a thousand people under me. I'd better leave it to the tall man to protect our home and country!"

Looking down, he saw Zhao Jing kneeling on the ground with a frightened expression on his face, Shangguan Qiuyu looked puzzled, and then thought that his face was not good just now, which made him think twice.

So, he lifted it up, smiled and said:

"Get up, you're fine, you know how to think about me, fine."

"Master Xie" saw that Shangguan Qiuyu didn't blame him, but praised him instead. Zhao Jing's big face immediately piled up like a chrysanthemum.

At the same time, he suddenly seemed to think of something, so he looked worried and said:

"Master, in another month, it will be time for the people from Jishui Village to collect money, if"

Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Qiuyu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, saying:

"Don't worry, they might be the ones who will pay the money!"
