Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

The night was hazy.

The sky was overcast, dark clouds obscured the moon, and flames could be seen in the woods along the riverbank.

As autumn arrived and the weather grew cooler, the caravan spent the night here. Not far from the carriage, everyone built a fire to keep warm and rest.

"Why are you so distracted?"

By the river, Yun Xiang was staring at the flowing water in a daze, recalling the past in his mind. He heard a voice, turned around, and saw that Zhao Xu had come behind him without him knowing.

"Young Master, you are doing this silently, it's so scary!" Yun Xiang seemed startled, then a faint smile appeared on his face, and finally he became as calm as water.

"The Lord of Yuntai, his last closed disciple, practiced for fifteen years before entering the secular world!" Zhao Xu admired the other party's character very much. He was truly a man who could accomplish great things.

"If the old grudges are not resolved, it will be difficult for me to be free!" Although he did not say it explicitly, Yun Xiang knew Zhao Xu's intention to recruit him.

At the same time, he also guessed that the other party was definitely not a simple high-ranking member of the Jinsha Gang.

"Nanli people, the world in their hearts", when the two met for the first time, Zhao Xu's words had already hinted at everything.

After learning the other party's name and the Su family's attitude, he made a bold guess.

It was not the Jinsha Gang that wanted to bring him under its wing, but the newly rising hegemonic nation of Nanli.

And Zhao Xu of the Jinsha Gang is the Jade Sword Master, a world-renowned master who controls the two countries of Daxi and Nanli.

Yun Xiang is the best among the Yuntai, and he naturally knows the general situation of the world.

Daxi and Nanli are controlled by the same force, and the unification of the Southern Kingdom has begun to show signs of emerging.

The two years of recuperation and internal reconciliation have ended.

At that time, all it will take is an opportunity. Once something happens in Li Yang in the Central Plains, there will be no time to look south. Nanli and Daxi will unite and sweep across the southern countries. Then a powerful country will appear in the world.

Ningguo is located between Nanli and Daxi. The people of Ningguo will sooner or later become Nanli people.

At Yun Xiang’s age now, he has great ambition and ambition in his heart.

I have been in Yuntai for many years and have learned the ability to govern the world. If I cannot realize my ambitions, it would be a waste of my life.

Although the decision has been made.

The tide of Nanli is surging, and now is a good time to join.

But the revenge for the extermination of his entire family was ultimately a hurdle that he could not overcome. He could not get over it and he could not devote himself to it wholeheartedly.

Moreover, up to now, finding out the truth about the Luojiazhuang tragedy and taking revenge is only a part of his plan.

Yunxiang has already made preparations in advance.

How can newcomers gain a foothold? Naturally, they need to demonstrate their abilities and make contributions.

Taking advantage of Baiju Town and letting the Jinsha Gang swallow it up at the same time, the Cao Gang's road to smuggling salt was just a trial and error.

With this foundation, Yangzhou Goodbye, Yunxiang will go a step further and borrow more strength.

The more you borrow, the greater the return will naturally be.

In this way, he killed two birds with one stone. This time he went to Nandu to stir up the situation, investigate the case and take revenge. In addition to Yuntai, he had the help of an extremely powerful force.

It can also bring benefits to Zhao Xu's side and show his own means and abilities. The Cao Gang is just the beginning.

"Baiju Town is showing its potential for the first time. I look forward to your performance in Nandu!"

Zhao Xu laughed. Among smart people, many things don't need to be made too clear.

Yun Xiang's many actions have already shown his inclinations. Zhao Xu is very optimistic about this possible mainstay.

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Yun Xiang suddenly smiled. This kind of trust made him feel particularly comfortable in his heart.

Soon, the two returned to the camp.

By the fire, except for Jin Shiliang, Shu Yanan and other important fighters, no one else slept.

"The good show is about to begin tonight!" Zhao Xu just came to Liuli and spoke suddenly before he sat down.

"Everyone, be on guard!" As the leader of the guards, Ma Fang gathered all the guards as soon as he heard Zhao Xu's words.

The rest of the caravan, who were resting, were also awakened.

In the darkness of the dense forest, the Cao Gang killers wanted to get closer before attacking, but when they saw the caravan moving, they had to act in advance.

"call out"

Just as Ma Fang and others gathered together, the sound of breaking air came from the darkness in the forest.

"Ding!"

"There's a thief!" Jin Shiliang drew his long sword, cut off a short steel arrow, and shouted loudly.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

As soon as he finished speaking, densely packed, fine steel crossbow arrows came breaking through the air.

"Ding ding ding..."

The guards waved their swords wildly to block the crossbow arrows. Then, when they had a chance, they kicked the carriages to block the front.

Yun Xiang, Shu Yanan, Zhao Xu and others stayed in one place, which became the focus of ambush and killing by the Cao Gang killers.

Seeing that the defense here was so strong, these killers immediately used a strategy, splitting up some of their people and launching a fierce attack on the rest of the caravan.

The crossbows were fierce and the killers were very powerful. The caravan members were beaten so badly that they had no power to fight back.

"Go protect the people in the caravan!"

Besiege Wei to save Zhao. Zhao Xu took a look at the situation on the scene and understood the other party's plan, but he didn't take it to heart and said something directly.

"Yes!"

Protecting Zhao Xu is their first mission. Only after receiving the order do they dare to take other actions.

There are twenty elite guards, except for Ma Fang, the first-rank leader, the others are all second and third ranks.

Soon, except for Ma Fang, all the other guards left to provide support. With these people taking action, the pressure on the caravan guards was greatly reduced.

When the Cao Gang killers saw Zhao Xu, they indeed sent out their guards and were overjoyed.

With the carriage blocking the way, the effectiveness of the crossbow arrows was greatly reduced.

"kill!"

After a shout of killing, dozens of assassins gathered together and rushed towards Zhao Xu and his companions.

"drink!"

"Ding Ding Ding!"

As the killer approached, Jin Shiliang shouted angrily, and quickly flashed out, striking the killer who was right beside him with a single blow, sweeping away the entire enemy.

The light of the fire reflected the flash of the knife.

The three killers raised their long knives to defend themselves, but their knives were chopped off directly. Then a bloody mark appeared on their throats and their bodies fell to the ground.

On the other side, Shu Yanan was agile and his body seemed to have wings, allowing him to move in the air and dodge.

Holding two close-fitting short knives, his sword skills are nimble and ghostly. He can easily draw the opponent's defense, reveal a flaw, and then quickly deliver a fatal blow.

The fighting was fierce on both sides, and the horses in the middle were naturally released.

A first-class master, with his true Qi, strikes out from the air with great power and noise.

"Golden Ten Liang, this sharp sword is worthy of its name!"

"He has done his best. Now that he has arrived in Nandu, you have to pay him extra money!"

Later, Zhao Xu saw Jin Shiliang, flashed his knife quickly, and instantly killed the three killers, nodded, and said to Yun Xiang.

"I..." A penny can make a hero fall. Although Yun Xiang has a high status in Yuntai, he does not have any resources of his own.

The name "Ten Liang" for Jin Shi Liang means the price for hiring him, which is ten liang of gold.

It was a bit difficult for Yunxiang to pay more wages at this time.

"Don't worry, I'll pay for it!" Zhao Xu seemed to understand Yun Xiang's difficulties and quickly added another sentence.

"Thank you on his behalf!" Yun Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't have to pay for it himself.

Although Jin Shiliang and Shu Yanan were powerful, Ma Fang was even more powerful at this time. The martial arts he practiced was the Vajra Palm.

At this moment in the darkness, true energy penetrated the body and a golden palm print flashed.

The roar emitted by each palm truly displayed the first-class elegance.

The Cao Gang's killers had not expected that Yun Xiang and the Su family caravan had so many experts.

It was obvious that they had reached a desperate situation in this operation.

The killers looked at each other, and at this moment, they were determined to fight to the death to complete the task of killing Yun Xiang.

Soon, they took action.

A small group of people entangled Jin Shiliang and Shu Yanan, and most of them besieged Ma Fang. At this time, these people were not afraid of life or death, and used their bodies as obstacles to block the three people.

In chaos.

Among the killers attacking Jin and Shu, two of them suddenly displayed kung fu beyond common sense.

He burst out with the strength of a second-grade junior grandmaster, broke away in an instant, and attacked Zhao Xu and Yun Xiang from both sides.

"Explosive secret medicine!"
