Located between the northern and southern forces, roughly equivalent to the border wasteland in the Xiangfan area in ancient times, there is a tense atmosphere.

In ancient times, Xiangfan was often the most important military hub, because to the west is the high mountain area, the road is rugged and difficult to pass, to the east is the Jianghuai Plain, the water network is staggered, and it is also not conducive to the passage of the army, so whether it is the southern expedition or the northern expedition, the Xiangfan area is a place where soldiers must fight.

In fact, the formation of the border wasteland set did not last long. When the Western Jin Dynasty perished, the north was chaotic, Zhuhu was busy fighting for territory, and had no time to look south, and finally made a name for himself, but the Eastern Jin Dynasty produced a world-famous hero Zu Li, who crossed the river and went north, and beat Shi Le, who called himself the king of Zhao Tianwang, was scattered, and did not dare to say a word about the southern expedition. When Zu Ti died, Shi Le also extinguished his ambitions, and then from Shi Le to Shi Hu, there was more than enough progress to keep it, after Shi Hu, Ran Min was called the emperor, and Murong Xianbei was a fierce battle, and the Murong family relied on walking shit to transport a once-in-a-century famous general Murong Ke to kill Ran Wei and establish Qianyan, but unfortunately the Murong family was such a talent, when Murong Ke was alive, Qianyan was vigorous, and after he died, Qianyan immediately began to fight wildly, and was soon wiped out...... This fights back and forth, although occasionally glances at the south to take advantage of a few points, but after all, there is no way to gain a firm foothold - the foundation of Zhuhu is in the north, and there are not many troops themselves, so it is impossible to put the army in the south. And although there are not so many things on the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the fierceness of the infighting is also more than equal, and in the past, Zu Ti died because of the infighting and grief...... Seeing the subtleties, it can be seen that both the north and the south have this "urine" and "sex", and Xiangfan, who is sandwiched in the middle, naturally becomes a chicken rib, and no one is willing to really spend a large army to ensure the occupation, so a group of displaced people from all over the country have been cheapened in vain, and the so-called "border wasteland" has been established.

The residents of Bianhuangji call themselves "desolate people", and they have always felt that they are very capable, whether it is the Jin and Han in the south or the Zhuhu in the north, they can't help them, but since Fu Jian's Northern Expedition, their confidence has been easily crushed.

Whether it is the north or the south, there are tens of thousands of troops at every turn, and the border wasteland can only muster less than 8,000 troops despite all its might. With 8,000 to tens of thousands, it is normal to lose the fight, but it is not normal to win! Not only that, the desolate man fought hard, and finally retreated from Qianqin by means of taking advantage of the fire, and thwarted Helian Bobo by half luck and half strength, as a result, Murong Chui and Sun En came together, and the desolate man could not stop it after all, and only with the help of the strangers could he retreat without too much loss. It wasn't until later that Murong Chui led his troops back to the north, and the protagonist Yan Fei led the strangers to make strange moves, which can be regarded as repelling all the people who occupied the border wilderness and regaining his homeland - this is the theme of the first fourteen volumes, the first battle of the border wilderness. Adventure 78

And now, the second battle of the border famine is unfolding, Murong Chui of the Xianbei tribe sent his most capable son Murong Ling, Yao Chang of the Qiang tribe and Sima Daozi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty personally led the troops, and the Maitreya Sect also launched a large campaign, and the combined strength of the four families was close to 80,000!

Cheng Peng sat in a tavern in the border wasteland, looking at the soldiers who kept walking on the street outside, his brows furrowed.

Although the soldiers of these desolate people are all sturdy, they seem to have about the strength of the four-star beginner level or higher, compared to the other armies in this world, they are indeed elite, but their faces are full of worry, neither have the confidence that the army of a hundred battles can win, nor do they have the courage to fight to the death, Cheng Peng sees 'confusion' and distress on the faces of these desolate people, and what he sees is sorrow and confusion.

Can you win a battle with such an army?

He shook his head and took a sip of his glass.

In order to save food, the taverns in Bianhuangji no longer sell wine, and he still bought this wine from the Astral Gate Auction House - this is a fine wine called "Qingxi Liuquan", produced in the world of Huang Yi's "Rain and Clouds", which is one of the most famous local products in that world.

The wine pot of "Qingxi Liuquan" is very small and exquisite, in the thin blue and white porcelain, the swallows on the branches are about to fly, the mountain stream seems to be flowing, and the drinkers sitting by the stream to enjoy the flowers seem to be drunk and falling asleep at any time - this is not the ability of the female Dionysian Zuo Shi in the story, but the handwriting of a production player who has a good relationship with her.

Thanks to this player, this kind of pot is no more than half a catty, and the bottom of the pot is covered with a clear stream of "Qianpin Cat" stamp, and a pot is sold for five taels of gold! This is already the price of a four-star silver-level high-grade equipment, and if you make up ten pots and eight pots, you can even buy a five-star silver-level equipment that you can take advantage of.

The physique of the adventurous players has long exceeded the level of ordinary people, and there is no problem in drinking two or three catties at a time, but drinking twenty or thirty taels of gold at a time? This makes people feel a little wasteful, at least most players are usually reluctant to spend money so "messily".

Cheng Peng didn't want to waste it so much, but after sitting here and eating for a while, he felt bored, then looked left and right, and quickly understood the problem - there are players and NPCs in this tavern, and NPCs are fine, almost everyone has wine bottles and wine jugs on their tables...... It's no wonder that while he was sitting here eating, he heard a player not far away watching him whispering, guessing whether he was a player or an NPC.

He didn't plan to disguise NPCs now, so since the players had all got a pot or two, he naturally didn't have to be vulgar, so he opened the Astral Gate auction hall and bought four bottles of Clear Stream Spring.

There were obviously knowledgeable players in the neighborhood, and it only took a while for someone to come over, and they wanted a piece of the profit.

"This guy seems to be quite rich." The player, who was born with a fat and thick businessman's face, smiled and dragged a stool over and sat opposite Cheng Peng, "My name is Cangshan Xue, I am a news collector, thanks to the care of all friends, I will do some small business here." What do you call a dude? ”

"Cheng Peng."

"Oh...... That's a good name! Thousands of miles! Cangshan Xue didn't think of anything from Cheng Peng's name - the name Cheng Peng is too common, and there are not 100,000 but 80,000 people who call this name in the Chinese, after all, the good lip of "Pengcheng Wanli" is almost a household name, and the director of the orphanage gave Cheng Peng this name, which is also the meaning of Pengcheng Wanli...... So Cang Shanxue just nodded, and then promoted his business again, "My old Cang, I was born to like to drink some wine, and sixty percent of my ordinary income has become good wine." I've been out of luck lately, though, and I've been a little tight on money, and I haven't had a good drink for a long time - alas! If you can't see it, it's just that when you see Brother Cheng, you clear stream and flowing spring, the wine worm in your stomach is calling. I had no choice but to be cheeky and ask you, brother, can you exchange the news for some wine? ”

Cheng Peng smiled and pushed two of the four wine bottles in front of him.

"That's a coincidence, I've been here for a short time, and I'm going to ask someone how the plot is developing at the moment, and if there are any missions or anything like that."

Cangshan Xue laughed, picked up a bottle of wine, raised her neck and made it a small half bottle, her face suddenly had a little more brilliance, and her words seemed to be more flexible: "Brother, you are asking the right person!" I have a good relationship with the plot NPC 'Wind Medium' Takahiko, and I have received a lot of internal information from him, and some of them can indeed derive good missions. ”

"It's just...... My old man has always paid attention to fairness in business, and Tong Su is not bullied. When introducing tasks to people, they will consider whether the other party can complete them, so as not to accidentally cheat people. The pair of smiling little eyes looked Cheng Peng up and down, but he didn't rudely use the assessment instructions, "Brother, what are you capable of?" What level of quest can you eat? I'll have to know this before I can introduce it to you. Adventure 78

Cheng Peng was slightly stunned, and then laughed.

He stretched out his right hand, and a cloud of water vapor suddenly rose from his palm, which became thicker and thicker, first turning into a white mist, and then gradually gathering into a ball of water, but not a drop dropped, like a thick solid ball, floating quietly in the air.

"Gathering gas for water? Dude, you're from the spell department? ”

Cheng Peng shook his head, the essence of the true qi changed abruptly, the water balloon was heated by the high temperature, and it boiled in an instant, but no matter how it boiled, the generated water vapor could not get out of the surrounding half a foot, as if there was an invisible cover that locked them inside.

Seeing this scene, Cang Shanxue's eyes suddenly widened.

He is a person who knows goods, and naturally understands how powerful the ability to transform and restrain steam in an instant is - the former means that both the law and martial systems have the ability to control the energy of both ice and fire, and the latter means that they can 'manipulate' the true qi or magic power to form an invisible force field. People who can do this kind of thing are at least at the five-star intermediate level or above, and they have already cultivated their own realm to the full level of the horn 'color'.

But things are not so simple, from the beginning to the present, he has not felt significant domain fluctuations in Cheng Peng, even when Cheng Peng uses his skills. This means that Cheng Peng has been able to completely put away his own domain, and even in the middle of the battle, he will not easily reveal his "exposure" - this kind of strength can only be done by a master of the "True Six Star" level!

Since Cheng Peng overwhelmed the crowd on the top of Huashan Mountain, players have said "true six-star" and "quasi-six-star" for six-star masters, the so-called "quasi-six-star" refers to the kind of experience points that are enough, and are promoted to six-star horns; And the so-called "True Six Stars" are masters like Cheng Peng who completely condense their own "Dao".

Although the quasi-six-star and the true six-star are of the same level, their combat effectiveness is very different, the former is just a little higher than the ordinary five-star peak genus "nature", can use some more advanced skills and equipment, can enter a more advanced world, there is no qualitative leap; The latter is a strongman who can directly crush the five-star peak and fight against the seven-star monsters of the general template.

Cangshan Xueping has also seen a lot of self-proclaimed masters, but because he is not a master himself, he has rarely come into contact with the master layer, and the most powerful one he has ever seen is the five-star peak or quasi-six-star, the real six-star master has never been known and has never met, and now he suddenly found that a player who thought he was just a master was a true six-star who was at the top of billions of players, and he was immediately shocked.

"You...... Are you Cheng Peng?! His brain is also quite flexible, and after a little thought, he guessed the identity of the person in front of him - although there are thousands of Cheng Peng in the big adventure, there is only one Cheng Peng of the real six-star!

"What kind of assignment is right for me?" Cheng Peng did not dwell on the issue of his identity, but directly asked about the topic.

Cangshan Xue looked Cheng Peng up and down, his face was full of surprise, and he couldn't speak for a while - he felt that it would affect his vision, he didn't know Cheng Peng's identity just now, he only felt that this brother in a gray robe was a cautious person who was rich and did not "show" white, and now that he knew Cheng Peng's identity, he felt that the gray mud robe revealed was self-confidence and restraint, and it was the heroic temperament of "I don't need external embellishment", which was more approachable than the golden armor with more than enough power and easy-going in the usual forum video. It fully shows the simple and noble inner world of a top master......

After Cheng Peng asked again, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly opened his electronic notepad, looking up in the clues he had collected, wanting to find a task worthy of Cheng Peng's identity and strength.

For the sake of two pots of Qingxi Liuquan with a total price of ten taels of gold, he sold a good task, and he was not afraid of any losses. Those high-level tasks are useless in the first place, and what can't be sold is worthless. What's more, Cheng Peng's reputation is excellent, and his strength is combined with fairness and credit, if he can really gain something, he will definitely not be missing.

So after rummaging for a while, he really found a suitable task for Cheng Peng.

"Now that the armies of all walks of life are besieging the border wasteland, the protagonist Yan Fei is planning to find someone to assassinate the commander of the soldiers and horses from all walks of life, I can introduce you to you!"

I feel like I've been getting worse and worse lately...... It seems to have fallen into a low "tide", whether it is the plot or myself......

I hope I can recover soon......
