Running naked, running naked, continue to run naked! Sometimes I really think, don't give a recommendation, why do you sign a contract, or you will go somewhere else to mix money! Do you want to force people to wield knives!

Alas, the whining is over!

================= the text begins to ==============

In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed, and the year is approaching the end of the year.

It's just that for the Zhu family, at the end of this year, I am afraid that it will not be peaceful, not to mention that most of the industries in Chong'an Country have stopped, and even the grain harvest on the family's private land is also so-so.

The most important thing is that because the rebels have already entered Chilong Province, the family must start hoarding food for the long term, in preparation for the famine.

The news from outside is also changing day by day, and one thing is certain, the Fuzun of Chilong Mansion has mobilized soldiers and horses from the surrounding counties, about 20,000 people, and fought a series of battles with the Black Lantern Army that invaded Chilong Mansion in the northern part of Chilong Province.

The two sides won and lost each other, at the beginning, the government soldiers of Chilong Mansion had already beaten the vanguard soldiers and horses of the Black Lantern Army out of Chilong Mansion, but with the arrival of the follow-up Black Lantern rebel army, the government soldiers of Chilong Mansion retreated again and again.

The general who commanded the soldiers of Chilong Prefecture, after hearing that the main force of the Black Lantern Army had arrived, almost did not fight, so he retreated one after another, and even abandoned several county towns to be invaded by the rebels of the Black Lantern Army.

Of course, before this, the food and armament in these county towns had been destroyed, and even those large and small scholar families had greeted them first and asked them to retreat with their things.

Only a few ordinary people who had no time to escape became the target of the Black Lantern Army, adding up to tens of thousands of people, and most of them were the chaotic people who were eventually coerced into the Black Lantern Army, which added tens of thousands of momentum to the Black Lantern Army.

The government soldiers of Chilong Province finally retreated to the northern part of Chilong Province before they stopped, building a camp according to the terrain and preparing for a formal confrontation with the rebel army.

Further back is the large county in Chilong Prefecture, and it seems that the general of the army is also helpless, so he has to stop the pace of retreating here.

The commander of the army on the side of Chilong Mansion is called Huyan Chengwang, and he is also from another high-grade scholar family in Chong'an State.

But now he has been scolded as a useless general by the big and small scholars of Chilong Mansion, and he is even called a harmful general by the common people who were abandoned by him.

But this general Huyan didn't care too much about the infamy, but instead sent a lot of heralds to the big and small Shi clans in Chilong Mansion in the light and dark, on the surface, it seemed that he hoped that the big and small Shi clans in Chilong Mansion could send private soldiers to help him, but secretly it seemed that there was something Jihua planning.

At the same time, the army of the Black Cage King entered the Chilong Mansion with great fanfare, because the Huyan Chengwang retreated almost without resistance, and the main force of the Black Lantern Army easily chased after it, but the discipline of the army was chaotic, so the current military situation seemed to be very chaotic.

But there are already four of the six demon generals under the Black Cage King, who have clearly raised their banners among the rebel army in Chilong Mansion, and it seems that they are preparing to invade the counties of Chilong Mansion in four groups.

Seeing that the situation in Chilong Mansion also seems to be a little out of control, is that Huyan Chengwang really a useless general?

Zhu Lingwu didn't see it that way, although he was still deep in the Zhu family's ancestral land Wubao, he still listened to what was happening outside through the report of Liangcai.

This Hu Yan Chengwang should not be a real useless general, he led his troops to fight with the main force of the Black Lantern Army without fighting and retreating, it should have been a strategy to lure the enemy into the depths, from the direction of his retreat and the location of his abandonment of those county seats, it can also be seen that the position he chose is actually very subtle.

After all, those Black Lantern Troops are foreign troops, they don't know the terrain of Chilong Mansion, although the terrain where their soldiers and horses are located does not look like a trap, but in the terrain of the entire Chilong Mansion, the main force of the Black Lantern Army has now entered a depression.

At the same time, Zhu Lingwu also knew that there were also four thousand private soldiers in the Zhu family and hundreds of middle and high-level qi refiners above the fifth level of qi refining, who had quietly sent troops from the Zhu family's Wubao, and they didn't know where they had gone for the time being.

Thinking that the other scholar families in Chilong Mansion should also have private soldiers and manpower, and now that Huyan Chengwang has mobilized the forces of the entire Chilong Mansion, he should want to swallow the main force of the Black Lantern Army in one bite and beat the Black Cage King into a real loner.

"It looks like there should be good news coming from the frontline battlefield soon!"

Zhu Lingwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his own home, but now the Zhu family's Wubao is also a little empty, after all, the main force of the private army and many people in the family have gone out to participate in the war.

Perhaps in order to appease the hearts of those private people in the Zhu family's private land, the Zhu family has now recruited new soldiers among the private people of the family, and recruited about 20,000 private soldiers.

For a while, outside Zhu's Wubao, a continuous military camp was also erected, and the shouts of the recruits inside could be heard every day, which also made the private people outside Zhu's Wubao feel a lot more stable.

After all, the Zhu clan has the protection of the family Wubao, but the hundreds of thousands of private people outside the Wubao are scattered on the fertile farmland.

If the army of rebels came, they would have nowhere to hide, but now that the Zhu clan has 20,000 recruits, they can confront the rebels in the wild.

Of course, this kind of newly recruited private soldier can only be used to stabilize the people's hearts, and they don't have much combat effectiveness, so they can't be compared with the real private soldiers of the Zhu family.

The real private soldiers of the Zhu clan have been cultivated since childhood, although they are all children of the common people, they have also practiced special martial arts techniques, and the average level is in the fourth and fifth realms of the acquired martial arts, and they are better at joining forces in the battle of the military array.

After forming a military formation, the magic power of the Qi Refiners among the Zhu Clan's disciples was gathered, and more than a dozen, dozens, and hundreds of people combined to form a combat power, even the Qi Refiners did not dare to wait to deal with it.

However, with these recruits, even if they are used as cannon fodder, they can also start to play a role, after all, there are many ants that bite to death elephants, and in the face of hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of chaotic people, no matter how elite the private soldiers are, they will be eaten up.

These recruits are trained, and with the family's use of materials and equipment, they can at least compete with the elite troops of the rebels.

It's just that the sound of the training of these recruits has aroused the dissatisfaction of many gentlemen in Zhu's Wubao, who are disgusted by the noisy sound in the barracks, which makes them not sleep well and have no fun.

Fortunately, these clansmen, who are regarded as breeding pigs, have no say in the family, and they can be allowed to have fun when they are fine, but now they are confined one after another.

Although from the analysis of the current situation, Zhu's Wubao in Chilong Mansion is still safe for the time being, Zhu Lingwu still has a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Therefore, he had to work hard to improve his strength so that he could gain more self-preservation power, but the road to cultivation was long, and at the moment, he could only try to improve himself to the realm of the fourth layer of qi refining.

In addition, he began to think about preparing more things for himself that could save his life, and all of this could only be searched for the special spells of the Xuanming Sect from the memory of the Meng Medicine Master, hoping to combine them with the special natural abilities he possessed......
