The sun was shining brightly. Liang's chief general Chen Sheng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and urged his soldiers to move forward faster.

The scorching heat in July, coupled with a long drought, was so unbearable that even the acquired warriors could hardly bear it.

Ever since leaving Qi'an County, the old eunuch has been following him.

There were only a few hundred cavalrymen, and they could neither be driven away nor shaken off.

After traveling for more than two months, they finally arrived at a densely populated area.

Chen Sheng did not forget the instructions of His Majesty. He burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil when he saw wealthy villages and towns.

The soldiers got 10% of the looted gold, silver and treasures, he and his generals got 60%, and the remaining 30% was given to Your Majesty, which was considered to be worthy of Your Majesty's kindness.

Unexpectedly, his soldiers were too excited and actually robbed an entire county town.

The old eunuch couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran over to argue with him, asking Chen Sheng to lead the troops to quell the rebellion instead of plundering Daning's wealth.

Looking at the old man who was chattering in front of him, he suddenly became timid and raised his hand to chop him with a knife.

The old eunuch was caught off guard and had his arms chopped off, with blood gushing out.

In order to go all the way, he killed the old eunuch and then led his army to surround and kill the hundreds of cavalrymen.

They were not satisfied with just robbing small towns, and now they let out the tiger in their hearts. In the next month, they captured several county towns one after another, and most of the residents in the towns died.

The army of tens of thousands came with only armor and weapons, but when they left, everyone was wearing gold and silver and had huge wealth.

After the anger subsided, Chen Sheng remembered that he seemed to have caused quite a bit of trouble.

If it was just a eunuch who was killed, it would be fine, and the weak Da Ning might not dare to pursue it.

But they had captured three county towns and killed dozens of officials above the fifth rank. This hatred would never end.

Although Da Ning is weak, they will definitely mobilize all their troops and keep them here.

Still frightened, he quickly recalled the stragglers who were still looting around and prepared to retreat to Daliang.

I didn't expect that now that it has been some time since the city was broken, Daning didn't even send troops to stop it. It's really cowardly.

Or, turn around and rob him again?

Chen Sheng's heart was burning as he recalled the thrill of having the power of life and death not long ago.

After thinking about it, it is better to quit while you are ahead and avoid unnecessary trouble.

It was a chilly early morning in late September, with clouds of white mist rising over the wide Chengshui River and disappearing as soon as the sun rose.

The Chengshui River is vast, and even the best warships from Daliang would take half a month to cross it.

Chen Sheng walked on the deck at the bow, calculating the harvest this time.

This time he led an army of 50,000, including 30,000 combat soldiers and 20,000 civilians. 10,000 were left on the river bank to guard the boats, so that they would have support in case of any unexpected events.

The 40,000 soldiers they brought with them all robbed a lot of goods.

In total, he confiscated 700,000 taels of silver, 27,000 taels of gold, and countless treasures of all kinds, whose total value was even greater than that of silver.

Excluding the 30% given to His Majesty and the 20% given to his subordinates, he alone received 40%.

By then, he could use this wealth to buy more precious medicines, and he might be able to get a glimpse of the peak of the acquired realm.

The more Chen Sheng thought about it, the more excited he became, yet he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

I have gained more than Your Majesty, will I be discovered?

Why not give some to your subordinates to prevent them from reporting you?

He was thinking about something when the warship suddenly shook violently and the water in the river splashed onto the boat.

Chen Sheng quickly sent people to check. There were wild beasts in the river with strength similar to that of acquired warriors, so they had to be on guard.

After a while, the waves disappeared, and the sun shone brightly on the calm and vast river, as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, the decks of other warships were also covered with people. They all felt the vibration just now.

Then, everyone saw the last scenery of their life.

A huge black shadow covered the entire surface of the river under the boat, with no end in sight.

A strange voice sounded, and the huge warships on the river turned into pieces, flying in the air, and then drifting on the river.

The tens of thousands of people on the ship all exploded at this moment, turning into balls of blood mist.

The sound was so loud that even Chen Yu, who was thousands of miles away, was suddenly awakened.

At this moment he was lying on the armchair in the yard, enjoying the autumn sunshine.

What is this? Chen Yu immediately stood up, then slightly flew a few feet into the air and looked in the direction of the clear water.

The monster in the clear water took action, and only it could make such a powerful sound.

Judging from the limited information, he felt that this monster was stronger than himself, but not too much stronger.

Ever since he broke through the foundation-building stage, his cultivation progress has rapidly increased again.

The previous feeling of oppression came from the fear of unknown things and the lack of understanding of the foundation-building realm.

After the monster took action, he didn't think it was that scary.

Especially with Jianmu's help, his understanding of the foundation-building realm deepened. He realized that there was a long way to go to the next realm, and the monster had not reached most of it.

At least Chen Yu was confident that escaping from it would not be a problem.

Of course, if you can avoid provoking them, you should try not to provoke them. You only have one life, and if you lose it, it’s gone.

The sound reached here, and only he with his keen perception could hear it. The people in the town continued to do what they were doing.

The sound disappeared after a while, and Chen Yu fell back into the courtyard and entered the space.

After more than a year of development, the space is full of vitality.

During this time, he ripened the spiritual medicine and obtained a red fruit tree. It was not easy to get, and he was looking forward to the sight of this rare spiritual medicine growing into a forest.

After the foundation was built, the growth rate of the space also accelerated a lot, and now it is 160 acres in size.

Eleven goats strolled leisurely in the bamboo forest, looking contented and happy.

Chen Yu doesn't often kill sheep for meat. It's much safer here than in the mountains.

There was no change in the number of spirit bees, but the queen bee's cultivation level increased a little, reaching the third level of Qi Refining.

This speed is the slowest among all the monsters raised by Chen Yu, probably due to the limitation of talent.

Even the old turtle has now reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. Now, even if Chen Yu drives it away, it will not leave and will bask in the sun in Baimu Valley every day.

The one with the fastest growth in cultivation is still the golden carp, which has now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Chen Yu was too lazy to deduce a method for it to break through the foundation. When the time comes, it will just pile up its profound accumulation like himself.

There is no shortage of spiritual medicines in the space, the truth is to pile them up.

On the other hand, the state capital received the news five days after the incident in Daning.

After the urgent message reached the capital over 800 miles, the new emperor was in trouble all of a sudden.

The attempt to borrow troops failed and instead they suffered losses, and several county towns were harmed.

I thought the other party was just asking for a higher price, but I didn't expect they would dig up the roots too.

The eunuch who was sent out to welcome him had no news at this time, and he might have also been killed by the Liang State.

What a shame! He had no place to vent his anger, and he couldn't treat the concubine of the previous emperor harshly.

As a branch among branches, he should be more careful about his reputation.

A month ago, a warrior from the clan office who was in the late stage of the post-natal period openly surrendered to the enemy. He claimed that the other party was also the blood of Taizu, and as the descendant of Taizu's elder brother, he had the responsibility to clean up the court and restore order.

As for the real reason, it was naturally that the regent of the pseudo-emperor offered a higher price.

The morale of the imperial army plummeted and they collapsed at the first sign of trouble. At one point the rebels were only 600 miles away from the capital.
