From space to the world, it takes trillions of years

"Gee, gee, gee" Wang Chengyin was anxious. The cavalry behind him was like a leech and could not escape.

Originally, few people in Baimu Town knew how to ride horses, and cavalry training only began after the bandits were wiped out.

Although there were hunters who knew how to shoot arrows, their riding and archery skills were not very good. After shooting dozens of arrows, only two hit the target.

Even Wang Chengyin's confidant was not well equipped and fell off his horse after being shot by an arrow.

At this moment, there were still nine people around him, and none of them had any desire to fight.

The pursuers were getting closer and closer, but our side was exhausted.

Another round of earth-shaking shouts and screams of killing rang out, and a large group of infantry led by He Qiao and others were about to arrive.

Wang Chengyin ordered all his men to dismount. There was no way to escape, so he was ready to fight to the death.

He felt that he had been in glory for so long. After all, he was the leader of a rebel army that had led tens of thousands of people. He couldn't die in such a cowardly way.

But before everyone was ready, a knife flashed and blood gushed out of Wang Chengyin's neck.

He looked back in disbelief and found that it was one of his trusted men who refused to die with him and wanted to use his head to buy his life.

The others looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Wang Chengyin looked up at the sky unwillingly. The moonlight was dim and life was withering.

After the war, the people of Baimu Town began to sum up the gains and losses of this battle.

It took three hours from the discovery of the large group of refugees to the start of the fight.

After the victory was determined, they took advantage of the situation to kill and capture the enemy troops, which lasted until dawn the next day.

The actual fighting lasted less than two quarters of an hour.

The guard battalion suffered 109 deaths and 57 serious injuries.

Forty-three of them were saved from life-threatening conditions with the help of medicines provided by the Xu Family Martial Arts School, but they were unlikely to be able to do heavy work in the future. The other fourteen died one after another without any medical help.

Baimu Town suffered heavy losses, with only a few thousand hungry refugees as the reward.

Fortunately, these were all strong and capable laborers. The elderly, the weak, women and children would have no chance of surviving the natural disasters and man-made calamities.

Among them, the big and small leaders and those who committed many crimes were executed, and those with lighter crimes were sentenced to hard labor ranging from one to ten years.

Those close associates of Wang Chengyin were guilty of serious crimes, so naturally they could not escape death.

The remaining half were innocent cannon fodder, recruited by the six major families as tenant farmers. There was still a lot of forest land in Fengqi Mountain that could be reclaimed, so there might be no need to recruit refugees in the future.

Once both sides have established a certain level of trust, they can also be recruited into the army.

The biggest mistake made in this battle was to cherish the houses and property, so much so that they formed a battle array outside the town and fought hard.

If street fighting and battles for positions were carried out in small towns, the casualties would be much smaller.

After the war, more than a hundred families lost their breadwinners, and the town instantly fell into sorrow.

The second is that they did not build enough fortresses before the war, and engaged the attackers in close combat from the very beginning.

Even the six major families in the town did not have this understanding and thought that they could keep the town safe by training thousands of farmers.

In the future, we will increase investment in the construction of fortresses and outposts, and also be responsible for the meals of new refugees.

The six major families had already been running out of food, and now the situation was even worse.

A month later, Xu Yan and others returned to the town, all with resentment on their faces.

The examiner this time was even more outrageous; he was actually a eunuch sent from the inner palace.

The emperor is now completely in a mess.

The rebellious prince has seized control of a state, has a strong army and has recently been encroaching on other counties.

The main force of the rebellious Maitreya Buddha was wiped out by the imperial court, and the remaining troops fled in all directions.

The leading demon was an eighth-level acquired warrior, who was surrounded and killed by acquired warriors sent by the palace.

A large number of believers retained their vitality, and the rebellion once again turned from open to underground.

The escaped General Fengtian built a city in the remnant of Qinghuan Mountain, and people who could not survive went there for refuge.

Not long ago, he sent troops to capture a county, and his reputation was greatly boosted. He has become a serious concern for the court.

The barbarians who were causing chaos in the lower reaches of Chengshui are now fighting desperately under the state capital and are in a precarious situation.

The emperor hastily usurped the throne at his mother's instigation, only to find that he did not have the ability to do so.

He handed over all power to his mother and indulged himself in pleasure in the palace.

It costs money to suppress rebellions and build wonders. If there is not enough money, just let your subordinates increase taxes.

More farmers could not afford the heavy taxes, lost their land, and joined the rebels.

The more rebellions there are, the more money the court needs to support the army.

As he didn't have enough money, he even thought of selling official positions and titles.

This eunuch examination was just one of the items. In the capital, even the position of Left Vice Minister had a fixed price.

Refugees emerged from the six northern counties, half of the county towns were captured, and not long ago even a county town was captured.

Although they were promptly dispersed by the army sent by the imperial court, the refugees would never disappear as long as the drought continued.

The old eunuch risked his life to take the exam, so naturally he wanted to make as much money as possible.

What's more, this was the emperor's idea. Selling fame directly would offend scholars too much, so he let him ask for bribes in his personal name.

This time Xu Yan learned his lesson from the last time and went to meet the examiner as soon as he arrived in the provincial capital.

Not only did the examiner turn out to be a eunuch, he also asked for money as soon as they met.

The first place was awarded 10,000 taels, the second place was awarded 7,000 taels, the third place was awarded 5,000 taels, and the quota for ordinary candidates was 3,000 taels.

Xu Yan never attached importance to these material things, and the martial arts school also charged very low fees for recruiting students, so how could he afford so much money?

There was no other choice but to offer the only few dozen taels of silver he had.

The old eunuch weighed it over, smiled and actually accepted it.

When Xu Yan saw him accept the silver, he thought he was just asking for an exorbitant price, so he thought the job was done and at least it wouldn't embarrass him.

Unexpectedly, when the provincial examination results were announced, Xu Xiru's name was still not on the list.

I suffered grievances and gave money, but my son was still treated unfairly.

How could a martial artist of the seventh level of acquired realm tolerate the humiliation of a eunuch?

He asked everyone to go back first, and he secretly intercepted and killed the eunuchs' team returning to the palace halfway.

There were only a few dozen people, and the highest level of cultivation was only the fourth level of the acquired realm. Xu Yan easily wiped them out, vented his anger, and then hurried back to reunite with his disciples.

Not to mention the disappearance of the examiner sent by the court, it would take a while to find out who did it.

Xu Yan and others are naturally the biggest suspects, but it will take at least half a year to point the finger at them.

Xu Xiru returned to Baimu Town, feeling lost.

The trip to the provincial capital made him realize that the court was not only facing internal and external troubles, but was already in a precarious situation.

Should I stay on this broken boat, or jump on someone else's new boat? Or should I start my own boat?

Little did he know that He Qiao had the same doubts as him.

After this battle, Liu Yinglong advanced to become a warrior. At the age of nineteen, he was appointed as the new commander of the guard battalion.

Thirteen hundred people killed and dispersed tens of thousands of refugees, even though the other side was just a mob.

Although they were very immature from top to bottom in this first all-out battle, he saw the shadow of the world's strongest army in his own side.

In the short term, there will be no refugees attacking, and the imperial court will not discover it.

The six major families can develop with peace of mind, while at the same time they are galloping on the road to exterminating the nine clans.

The world is so long, where should they go?
