The Sacred Ding

This incident was completely frustrated within a year, and Zhang Xiong’s ambition was also severely hit. Even if he entered the lush and green Qin Tongshan, he could not escape his depression.

Before entering the territory of Liquan General Administration Mansion, the convoy stopped in front of a shady hill to rest. Hu Wei opened the prison car and let Zhang Xiong out to let the wind open. Standing in the twilight, with all white hair and beard and fluttering in the wind, Zhang Xiong, who is just over eighty years old in Yuchi City, wears azure clothes with some old colors. Although he has no torture instruments, his face is even more serious. It’s very old.

In the past, he was the overlord of a place, but for the rest of his life he was imprisoned in a cavern in Qintong Mountain, and Zhang Clan was relegated to a sinner forever. How could Zhang Xiong be able to escape his depression? Get free?

“Father, Liquan Mansion is in front of you…” Zhang Xiong’s youngest son Zhang Han took advantage of the rest of the convoy and walked from the prison car behind, and they walked west along the road on the south bank of Tonghe River. After more than a day, I saw a seven-eight li square city standing among the mountains ahead.

Although everyone has not set foot in Qintong Mountain before, but from the information collected, they still have some understanding of Juquanling. They know that in the later period of Chen Hai’s control of Juquanling, Yanzhou Bianjun There are more than ten sects of the strong feudal clan. Dao Academy was established around Juquanling, and then they joined forces to build Liquan City within the valley in Juquanling.

After Chen Hai handed over the power of Juquanling to the Artisan Association, Liquan City actually became the dominant center of this area.

Although Liquan City is located in Tongbei Prefecture of Qintong Mountain, it is not under the jurisdiction of the prefectural government. Its status is different. It is the highest leading organization of Liquan City.

Under the Craftsman Association, Da Si Cheng, Left and Right Si Cheng and Liquan Du Lieutenant are set up to control this small area of ​​military and political power.

It should be said that Liquan is an independent kingdom, but behind the scenes it is controlled by the nine great masters of Yanzhou; each of these nine great masters is pulled out separately, and it is dozens of times stronger than Tianaishan Zhang Clan , But Liquan was not under the control of any single power. Even if the emperor’s decree of the Celestial Emperor was passed on, it would not be ignored.

To say that Jingjue Duhufu is special, but Dong Ning, Jingjue’s wife, was ostensibly rewarded by Ye Qinglin, the lord of the West Qiang Kingdom, in order to rule Lucheng, Black Mountain and other places as feudal towns. It still needs to be loyal to the Western Qiang State; Li Quan is really special, operating with a mechanism beyond the imagination of Zhang Xiong and Zhang Han’s father and son.

Looking at the busy traffic going in and out of the Liquan boundary, Zhang Xiong and Zhang Han’s father and son didn’t expect, but the Liquan mechanism worked quite effectively.

Zhang Xiong has seven children, fifty-three grandchildren, plus the wives of his wife, his mother, and his sons, as well as three generations of blood relatives from Zhang Xiong and Zhang Clan; In addition to Zhang Xiong’s seven Direct Disciples, heirs, three generations of blood relatives, Direct Disciple, and wives, more than 3,000 people were all relegated to criminals after the war. The overwhelming majority were sentenced to exile, and Zhang Xiong himself and Children and Direct Disciple, even in the place of exile, will be additionally imprisoned.

Previously, most people had been exiled to Liquan first. Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han father and son and other 400 clansman were the last batch.

At this moment, Zhang Han is standing on the hill with father Zhang Xiong, watching as he is about to step into the Liquan realm, and his heart is both heavy and complicated. Although everyone has saved their lives, no one knows where they are. What kind of fate Quan will have is waiting for them.

At this moment, there is a messenger to ride over, and there is only the last 30-50 miles left. I want everyone to rest. After eating dry food, quickly reorganize the team and prepare to go on the road. I will not camp here at night. Go directly to the prepared camp in the Liquan General Administration Mansion.

Although Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han father and son and the others did not use torture instruments, nor did they directly destroy the Spirit Sea Aperture Vessel and abolish the cultivation base, but the Hundred Skeleton Aperture Veins were all placed with multiple lock needles. , Every day’s meals are supervised by a special person, and there is a small amount of Ni Ling San forbidden drugs, which makes them no different from the discontinued cultivation base.

Under special supervision, after having a hasty dinner, Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han father and son and the others got into special prison vehicles. Fortunately, the prison vehicles were not completely airtight, and they could be seen through the small window. To the mountains in the twilight, it will not be too depressing.

Zhang Xiong can see through the small window of the prison car that before entering the Liquan boundary, there is a large group of heavily guarded buildings. This is where the Mojia Division moved from Yanjing west to Qintongshan; The Mexican Division is the largest war weapon manufacturing department under the supervision.

After entering the Liquan realm, in addition to the Liquan City built between the mountains, there are also a large number of pavilions and pavilions built in the mountains all around.

these all are Dao Academy set up by Qiang Fan in Liquan outside the county to ensure that it can have an extra influence on Liquan outside of the craftsman association.

In addition to the nine powerful vassals, the sect of the overwhelming majority of Yanzhou, and even the eight clans of Jingjun are excluded from the Artisan Association. They have no direct influence and control over Liquan City. Power, but also absolutely impossible to easily abandon the supply of cheap gold-tempered iron materials, they can only send people to stare here for many years.

Juquanling’s annual output of hardened gold and iron materials reached 30,000,000 jin at this time, and only one third will be directly transported to Fiefdom, which is directly under the nine powerful vassals. More gold-hardened iron materials, in addition to the various treasure armors and various bows and crossbows created in Liquan, are sold to the outside; and the clansmen and clans above Level 1 and counties officially canonized by the imperial court The government office, even if it has no direct influence on the Artisan Association, can still directly obtain a certain amount of quenched iron material supply.

This makes the business road from Nanzhang Mansion to the north to Tongbei Mansion more than ten times more prosperous than before the riots.

What is the concept of 30,000,000 catties?

Before Juquanling, the total output of quenched gold and iron in the hundred counties of Yanzhou might not exceed this amount.

Looking at this time, Chen Hai’s decision to hand Juquanling to all the families is extremely correct.

As for the people of Zhaoyang Pavilion, if they want to swallow this treasure at the bottom of Juquan Lake, their only end is to be crushed to pieces by a more powerful force.

Even if the Dong, Miao and other tribes are the first-class powerful tycoons in Yanzhou, in order to avoid offending the public, they dare not divide the annual output of 30,000,000 catties privately. Almost two-thirds of the amount will also be provided at a relatively low price in various ways to the imperial court’s subordinates, who are actually controlled by the eight clans of the capital, and the government offices of the prefectures and Zhenger eight who are subject to the imperial canonization. The patriarchal clan.

Including Juquanling, Juquanling and Baishiling, Liquan governs an area of ​​120 li, with more mountains and less land. Four or five years ago, there were only a few thieves’ dens and villages, which can be said to be deserted. However, at this time, it is a village house standing in great numbers. Except for the Dao Academy in the mountains, there are almost all the open valleys between the peaks. Development and utilization.

It has been less than two years since Chen Hai left Qintongshan. In such a short time, the region from Tongbeifu to Liquan prospered at an unimaginable speed.

When Zhang Xiong and Zhang Han father and son just entered Qintong Mountain, they saw a little desolate on both sides of the road, and from Nanzhangfu to the north, it went deep into the hinterland of Qintong mountain range. It was desolate, so I didn’t even think that such a prosperous place was hidden here.

Of course, when the scouts were sent to collect information on Juquanling, they described Liquan’s prosperity, but Zhang Xiong and Zhang Han’s father thought that the scouts were boasting after seeing the prosperity of Yanzhou counties. The words, but didn’t expect it to be worse.

Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han father and son and Zhang Clan, more than 400 sinners, bypassed outside Liquan City and continued westward, and soon they saw the true name shakes the whole world Juquan Ridge. You can also see the stockade of Zhaoyang Pavilion at the southeast foot of Juquanling.

Zhaoyang Village is not small, with five-six hundred steps square, but it looks unusual.

Zhang Xiong and Zhang Han saw Chen Hai entering Zhaoyangzhai surrounded by the guards, but the convoy of prisoners did not stop, but continued to go west. It was almost early in the morning before they were surrounded. Stop in front of the courtyard-style buildings.

At this time, Zhang Xiong and Zhang Han’s father and son were released from the prison wagon again. Here are the personnel responsible for the handover waiting to check the roster and transfer the exile to Zhang Clan in Liquan Children and relatives, according to the roster one after another, placed in each enclosed courtyard.

Zhang Xiong and Zhang Han’s father and son stayed at the end and were led into an enclosed courtyard strictly guarded by a soldier.

At this time, Zhang Xiong saw his wife Xun and his youngest son and daughter-in-law Zhao who moved east earlier, as well as the underage children in front of Zhang Hanji, all suffering in this courtyard. At that time, I probably couldn’t believe it, and dare not recognize each other.

“mother!” Zhang Han walked over and knelt in front of the mother Xun to salute.

During the eastward move, Zhang Han was suffering in his heart. I don’t know what punishment he will be subjected to after arriving in Liquan, and I don’t know if there is a chance to reunite with his family, but he didn’t expect After moving to Liquan, they met immediately.

He was deeply moved for a while, and couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Zhang Xiong was also stunned for a while, and couldn’t help asking: “Er Niang and Third Young Lady?”

In addition to the Zhengshi Xun family, Zhang Xiong has two The concubine’s room was moved to Liquan earlier. He could not ask where the two concubines went, but he had to ask the whereabouts of the other six children and many grandchildren.

Heroes will inevitably end up in love with their children, not to mention that Zhang Xiong’s will is depressed, and there are not many things he can talk about.

“It’s all okay. It’s in the east and west courtyards. You can still see it during the day. It’s just a curfew at night. The courtyards are locked from the outside and you are prohibited from entering or leaving. You can see them tomorrow.” Xun’s said with tears.

No one of the guards came in to disturb Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han’s father and son and their relatives.

Although it was late at night, Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han and his wife and son talked about the hardships and worries on the road. They didn’t have the slightest sleepiness. They still felt that time was short when they talked until dawn.

Until the courtyard gate was opened again from the outside, Zhang Xiong discovered that he and his family were sitting in the courtyard midnight.

Seeing Chen Hai’s direct line General Wu Meng walked over in person, Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han’s father and son were silent, knowing that they should be punished and they couldn’t escape, or they are grateful to Wu Meng for their wives and children Take care of, give a salute.

“Zhanghou, the lock needle can be removed.” Wu Meng said.

Removing the Locking Needle will officially abolish his cultivation base. Zhang Xiong is not reconciled to the cultivation base being abolished for half a lifetime. However, seeing his children and grandchildren are still young, he cannot give birth to resistance. , Turned around silently, untied the gown, and nailed it naked into the back of the nine lock needles.

The Locking Needles are all yellow-rank low grade magic weapons. They are sacrificed to Wu Meng’s soul energy, and only Wu Meng can solve them. Of course, Zhang Xiong would take it if he didn’t take it regularly. Ni Ling San forbidden drugs, with his powerful cultivation base, Suo Ling will have no effect on him.

Wu Meng said with a smile: “Zhanghou, you can force the Locking Needle out of your body by yourself. Master Shaohou will ask you to come over and speak.”

Zhang Xiong slightly startled, and then changed his mind to Divine Consciousness. He sank into the Spirit Sea Palace and stirred the True Yuan mana a little bit. Where is the slightest sign of forbidden drugs? He didn’t even notice that Chen Hai ordered to stop at some point and continue to force him to take the forbidden drug.
