Experience of living in a chaotic world of demons

The two drank in silence.

From then on, Canghe County was named Liu. The emperor was far away, and Liu Yuanhu was no different from a local emperor in Canghe County.

But Gu Sheng was more concerned about what Gujiazhuang should do next.

It didn't really make any difference to him whether Cao Shiduan or Liu Yuanhu was in charge of Canghe County. The key was the Black Sand Gang.

According to what Gu Xiaojiang said.

The Black Sand Gang eliminated a lot of dissidents in this battle and made great contributions. I'm afraid they will become more arrogant in the future, and the situation of Gujiazhuang will become more difficult.

Gu Xiaojiang said bitterly:

"The Black Sand Gang is so treacherous and repetitive. I originally thought that they would both lose, but I didn't expect Zhao Honglie to directly surrender to Liu County Lieutenant. It's really..."

He gritted his teeth.

The reason why everyone in Gujiazhuang hated the Black Sand Gang so much was because the Black Sand Gang had to collect annual contributions, that is, protection fees!

Two thousand taels a year, it was simply bleeding Gujiazhuang.

If there were two thousand taels more, Gujiazhuang could train many more warriors. Unfortunately, it had to be given. Otherwise, the Black Sand Gang would not listen to reason. They would block the road, kill and rob goods, and do everything they could. The loss was much greater than two thousand taels.

This was a bloody lesson learned by the surrounding villages and fortresses.

The Black Sand Gang was entrenched in the surrounding villages and fortresses, sucking blood, but its strength became stronger and stronger. Now, it is enough to control the situation in the county.

Gu Sheng sighed lightly.

If the surrounding villages and fortresses united, they would not be so easily exploited. Unfortunately, the villages and fortresses were not united and could only be slaughtered.

"However, the Black Sand Gang's repeated behavior this time must be feared by the county lieutenant. We just need to keep our troops in place and wait for the opportunity. There will always be a day when the Black Sand Gang will perish."

Gu Sheng comforted.

From the few words that Gu Xiaojiang said, it was not difficult for him to infer one or two. Since ancient times, those who defected in battle have been feared by the new master.

Gu Xiaojiang nodded repeatedly, his eyes lit up.

"Fortunately, we in Gujiazhuang did not take sides, otherwise the disaster of Lijiabao would be our future!"

His face turned a little ugly, and Gu Sheng was silent. He had also heard about this.

A few days ago, a group of horse bandits entered Lijiabao, burning, killing, looting, rushing around, killing anyone they saw, extremely cruel.

After these horse bandits left.

The warriors of Lijiabao were almost killed or injured, and ordinary people in the fort were killed or injured more than a hundred times, and the loss of property was huge.

Although there was only one blood refining warrior left in Lijiabao after participating in the county incident.

But what kind of horse bandits are so fierce that they can kill blood refining and so many warriors?

The answer is self-evident.

This is the fate of standing on the wrong side.

"Originally, Lijiabao was not so fragile. The remaining fortress owner Li Hong was a minor success in the blood refining realm, and his strength was not weaker than Uncle Changming. He should not have been slaughtered like this with the help of the guards in the fort. This is strange."

"The person in charge of Lijiabao now is a warrior named Du Jiangbo. It is very likely related to this man."

"The elders suspect that it was Du Jiangbo who surrendered to the Black Sand Gang, which led to the end of Lijiabao."

According to this trend, it is only a matter of time for Lijiabao to become Dujiabao. If Lijiabao can still live happily under the high pressure of the Black Sand Gang in the future, then it is obvious that Du Jiangbo is the guide!

Gu Sheng secretly became alert.

When he killed Li Yan before, he knew that Du Jiangbo was Li Yan's brother-in-law.

Although Du Jiangbo seemed to have no intention of revenge for Li Yan, now that Du Jiangbo has gained power, he must be more careful.

"Now that this has happened, the elders are even more..."

Gu Sheng looked at Gu Xiaojiang's hesitation and knew what the elders of Gujiazhuang were thinking. Du Jiangbo's usurpation would only make them more determined to stick to their own ideas. He probably wouldn't be able to get any resources from Gujiazhuang in three years.

Looking at Gu Xiaojiang's departing back.

Gu Sheng shook his head slowly.

Let's talk about it three years later.

Besides, it won't take him that long to break through to become a warrior. He can find a way to make money by then.

Gu Sheng clenched his fist slightly, and his strength surged. A few blue-brown stone-like lines appeared on his arm.

After the Iron Stone Fist became a minor success, his speed of tempering the membrane doubled. Now, as soon as the strength moves, there will be a strange manifestation. The progress is very fast. It will take at least a year for a warrior with the same qualifications to reach this step!

Not only that.

The realm of the Iron Stone Fist is also steadily moving towards the great success, and now it is 40% of the proficiency of the minor success.

As for archery, the progress is even more gratifying. Now the proficiency is as high as 82%. In another month, it will be possible to successfully reach perfection, which makes Gu Sheng look forward to it!

He practices diligently every day, and the visible progress makes Gu Sheng addicted to it.

Gu Xiaojiang's back completely disappeared, Gu Sheng gathered his mind and continued to practice boxing.

No matter how the outside world changes, he has only one word.

Liver!

Only if you are strong can you protect yourself in the turmoil.

Although the storm seems to be far away from you, it may suddenly come one day. You must be prepared at all times. Even if you run away, you must have enough strength.

...

The changes in Canghe County gradually subsided in the heavy snow until there was no ripples at all.

Many people at the bottom didn't even know what happened. They only thought about how to survive this cold winter and then rush for the next three meals a day.

Fortunately.

After reaching its peak, the chill in the air finally began to slowly subside.

Until the first ray of warm spring sunshine enveloped the earth, the ice and snow gradually melted, and all the lower-class people burst into tears, gradually walked out of the door, and began to be active.

Winter is finally over.

Many people thought that they had survived another year.

Gu Sheng looked at the gradually restored popularity of Gujiazhuang and couldn't help but smile. The coldness in winter really made people feel a little lonely and depressed.

"Ah Sheng, good morning!"

"Aunt Caigen, are you going to dig wild vegetables?"

"Yes, this winter is too hard. If I don't dig some wild vegetables, my family will have no food. If my kid can be half as successful as you, Ah Sheng, in the future, I will die with my eyes closed!"

Gu Sheng looked at Aunt Caigen's back, a little silent. It was good to be able to go out to dig wild vegetables. I don't know how many people were buried in last winter.

"Huh!"

"It's good that it's finally over!"

Gu Sheng let out a long breath and continued to practice archery. His archery skills were getting closer and closer to 100% proficiency.

A few days later.

The snow on the official road melted, and an official from the county town came galloping on horseback to report to Gujiazhuang.

In the eighth year of Jianping, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed the reign title to Guangxing!

This is the first year of Guangxing!

"The first year of Guangxing?"

Gu Sheng chewed and savored the reign title, and a sarcastic look appeared on his face unconsciously.

"Is this a last-ditch effort to continue the dynasty for another generation?"

From what we have seen so far, Daliang has been rotten from the root. The county magistrate and the county lieutenant are openly fighting for power. It has come to this point. What can we do even if we change the reign title?

Unless the new emperor has the courage and ability to reform the old and establish the new.
