crusade against the false emperor, the false emperor royal government is forced to instigate the military to go south, is incapable of repressing, this has the northern four counties of steady sign to become a hopeless mess randomly. 在东阳王起兵讨伐伪帝之后,伪帝朝廷被迫调拨兵力南下,无力弹压,本有平稳迹象的北地四郡乱成一锅粥。 If Dongyang King smooth with Xiapingshan, the western stage and Zhaoming three counties, then can assume the potential

the nature and man-made disaster approaches goes on living? 对普通人来说,除了逃,还能怎样在天灾人祸来临时活下去呢？ On the main road winds a long line. 大道上蜿蜒一条长龙。 The Qin Sang mouth holds the grass stalk, sits on a roadside stone, his is the crack straw sandal, the body puts on fully is the patch thick cotton garment, on the face, hand black Qi black, the look dead wood, the hair does not know how long had not washed, one one, is sending out the rancid smell. 秦桑嘴里衔着草茎,坐在路旁一块石头上,他脚下是破洞的草鞋,身上穿着满是补丁粗布衣,脸上、手上乌漆嘛黑,眼神呆木,头发不知道多久没洗了,一绺一绺的,散发着馊臭的气味。 Water monkey Zhou Ning and another person depend on the stone crookedly, almost dresses up with Qin Sang, while still alive three having same problem refugees. 水猴子周宁和另一个人歪靠着石头,和秦桑差不多打扮,活活三个同病相怜的难民。 This person 's name is Zheng Kun, with Bai Jianglan study military many years, was past Qin Sang on the ship has seen one of them, now same joins the bloodstained clothing building with the water monkey, became the Qin Sang subordinate. 这个人名叫郑坤,跟着白江澜学武多年,也是当年秦桑在船上见过的其中一人,现在和水猴子一样加入血衣楼,成了秦桑下属。 In this year, Qin Sang strictly adheres to the principle, performing the merit are not many, but cannot support his information, several essential information help the army break through, the name also registers in prince there. 这一年,秦桑谨守原则,立下功劳不算多,但架不住他情报准,几次关键情报帮助大军破关,名字在王爷那里也挂了号。 That above also has the princess to cover, short one year gets to the top in the bloodstained clothing building, the present is one of the Weapon Altar vice- owners, but the position of owner has been unresolved, remains to Qin Sang. 加之上面还有郡主罩着,短短一年就在血衣楼爬上高位,现在是兵坛的副堂主之一,而堂主之位一直悬而未决,就是给秦桑留着的。 Qin Sang looked up the sun, the silent calculation the double-hour, is seeming like that the vision of delay consistently is actually paying attention with the city gate of Ning County city. 秦桑抬头看了看日头,默算着时辰,看似呆滞的目光其实始终注意着和宁县城的城门。 This main road has connected Lingxian south side, on the road refugee in groups, not only with Ning County, more escapes to evade the calamity from Lingxian along the road. 这条大路一直连通到南边儿的都陵县,路上成群结队的难民,不仅是和宁县的,更多是从都陵县沿路逃过来避祸的。 The Dongyang King army is divided into two groups, the west road army personally is led by Dongyang King, the subordinate is the town/subdues water king main forces and in clever South county open arms the soldiers and horses, has taken a big victory in Zhaoyang State. 东阳王大军共分两路,西路大军由东阳王亲自率领,麾下是镇水王主力和在颖南郡招降的兵马,已在昭阳郡拿下不小的战果。 The east road army was actually blocked under the Lingxian city, already and false emperor garrison troops confronted for two months, does not get the little advance. 东路大军却被拦在都陵县城下,已经和伪帝守军对峙了两个月,不得寸进。 The Lingxian topography is important, since old times was the strategic location, was called the throat of Pyeongsan-gun and Jiangzhou. 都陵县地势险要,自古就是兵家必争之地,被称为平山郡和江州的咽喉。 Takes Lingxian, the entire Jiangzhou does not have the danger to defend again, as the Pyeongsan-gun three states in biggest and the most bountiful state, once Jiangzhou changes hands, means that Pyeongsan-gun from falling to the enemy is not far. 拿下都陵县,整个江州再无险可守,作为平山郡三州中最大、最富饶的一州,一旦江州易手,意味着平山郡距离沦陷不远了。 False emperor insane common reassignment soldiers and horses, the troops of entire Pyeongsan-gun pressed the Lingxian city, army dozens storms, all flew back without any results, was catastrophic, then thinks a clear(ly) cultivated/repaired the plan of plank road doing something secretly. 伪帝疯了一般调动兵马,整个平山郡的兵力都压到了都陵县城,大军数十次强攻,皆无功而返,死伤无数,便想了个明修栈道暗渡陈仓之策。 Under the city the army tent/account does not reduce, the attacking a city momentum continues, late at night when pulls out to two groups of auxiliary military forces quietly, fans into the mountain forest, the track from the mountain sneaks, alternates the Jiangzhou center, the surprise attack and Ning County, looks with fierce and covetous eyes the Jiangzhou city. 城下军帐不减,攻城势头不止,深夜时悄悄抽离两路偏师,散入山林,从山中小道潜行,穿插进江州腹地,奇袭和宁县,虎视江州城。 With Ning County in the Jiangzhou center, the entire Jiangzhou troops gathers in the Lingxian city now, is instead void to the state county, once were broken with Ning County, the garrison troops in Lingxian will fall into a hard place. 和宁县在江州腹地,如今整个江州兵力汇聚在都陵县城,反致州郡空虚,一旦和宁县被破,都陵县里的守军将陷入进退两难的境地。 The southern Jiangzhou multi- wooded mountains, the bloodstained clothing building has verified the route, the plan of successful possibility surprise attack is very big. 江州南部多山林,血衣楼早就探明了路线,奇袭之策成功的可能性很大。 Military already of two groups of auxiliary military forces is considerable, if the Lingxian armies insist on not turning back in order to help friendly forces , to continue to supplement the military simply, guards with Ning County, grabs the supplies, can make them uncomfortable. 两路偏师的兵力已经非常可观,如果都陵县大军执意不回援,索性继续补充兵力,据守和宁县,劫掠补给,也能让他们难受。 Qin Sang leads Zhou Ning and Zheng Kun infiltrates the refugee team, his duty rushes with the quickest speed with Ning County, controls with the situation in Ning County, strives when two groups of surprise-attack forces arrive, 秦桑带着周宁和郑坤混进流民队伍,他的任务就是用最快的速度赶到和宁县,掌控和宁县的情况,争取在两路奇兵到来之时, Collaborates from outside with the inside, opens with the Ning County city gate, will take with Ning County at one fell swoop, in order to avoid lives chaotically. Has also guarded with Ning County obviously, the people before city gate are strong, yamen runner is critical situation, the sword does not leave the hand, once the unknown refugee approaches, shouted out to expel, let alone entered a city. 里应外合,打开和宁县城门,将和宁县一举拿下,以免生乱。和宁县显然也有所防备,城门前的民壮、衙役如临大敌,刀剑不离手,不明身份的流民一旦靠近,就被呼喝赶走,更别说进城了。 „Arrived the 1 to 3 p.m, how Liu Ji that boy to have come quickly?” “快到未时了,刘季那小子怎么还不来？” Qin Sang hears the water monkey to complain, looked down one, the water monkey figure was slim, but also an arm, in addition this appearance, pitiful not to be pitiful simply, looked like the refugee compared with the refugee. 秦桑听到水猴子抱怨,低头看了一眼,水猴子身材瘦小,还断了一条胳膊,再加上这身打扮,简直凄惨到不能再凄惨,比流民还像流民。 Since breaking the arm, water monkey personality steady many, therefore Qin Sang answered is receivable he to work in the subordinate, but the leopard doesn't change his spots, had the matter safe/without matter to like wordy several after all. 自从断臂后,水猴子性情稳重了不少,所以秦桑答应收他在麾下做事,但毕竟本性难移,有事无事还是喜欢啰嗦几句。 The water monkey knows the discretion, Qin Sang has not reproven him, access road/simply said: „Waits for a double-hour again, old Zheng you stared at the wealthy person who tightened that several uses/gives porridge/gruel, the darkness must enter a city before.” 水猴子知道分寸,秦桑也没训斥他,便道:“再等一个时辰,老郑你去盯紧那几个施粥的富户,天黑之前必须进城。” Liu Ji is the person in bloodstained clothing building, Exalted Ancestor and Ning County, when goes out to do business divided from the Liu head-family, after joining the bloodstained clothing building, arranging him to return with Ning County finds roots, has some people ambushes with Ning County. 刘季是血衣楼的人,祖上和宁县籍,外出经商时从刘氏本宗分了出来,加入血衣楼后,安排他回和宁县认祖归宗,带着一些人潜伏在和宁县。 Qin Sang rushes after Ning County this morning immediately emits the cipher, making Liu Ji take them to enter a city, the latest time of agreement is 1 to 3 p.m. 秦桑今天早上赶到和宁县后立刻放出暗号,让刘季接他们进城,约定的最晚时间是未时。 „Good!” “好嘞！” Zheng Kun cracks into a smile, sways back and forth to crawl on the ground, is hunchbacked the waist, in lamely team that crushes into the refugee, lines up to wait for uses/gives porridge/gruel. 郑坤咧嘴一笑,在地上打了个滚爬起来,伛偻着腰,一瘸一拐挤进流民的队伍里,排队等着施粥。 Qin Sang felt that sits is a little conspicuous in the stone, jumps down to sit in the ground, making the water monkey stare at the tight city gate, oneself close the eye to take a nap. 秦桑感觉坐在石头上有点儿显眼,跳下来坐在地面上,让水猴子盯紧城门,自己则闭上眼睛假寐。 Mixes in the refugee team, hurrying along stay up till dawn, delays the cultivation seriously. 混入流民队伍里,日夜不停的赶路,严重耽误修炼。 Qin Sang knows which is the lighter and which is the heavier, after joining bloodstained clothing building , although the business is numerous and diverse, but he has never broken practicing, one has almost not slept all year round. 秦桑知道孰轻孰重,加入血衣楼之后虽然事务繁杂,但他从未断过修行,一整年几乎没睡过觉。 In this year, Qin Sang has paced back and forth around the battlefield, hides in the outermost, making the Yama gather the dead spirit the soul. 这一年,秦桑一直徘徊在战场周围,躲在最外面,让阎罗收取亡灵的魂魄。 However, the Qin Sang not clear jade Buddha depth, does not dare the ignores yama, gathers to the certain amount of soul each time, receives it. 不过,秦桑不清楚玉佛深浅,不敢放任阎王,每次收取到一定数量的魂魄,就把它收回来。 Has continuous soul pill to supply, Qin Sang is progressive, now already to the second peak, soon can break through «Serenity Scripture» third. 有源源不断的魂丹供应,秦桑进步飞速,现在已经到第二层巅峰,用不了多久就能突破《幽冥经》第三层。 As for «according to Marvelous ability», Qin Sang tried several times, cannot refine to be really mad, verified the guess of Qin Sang, «Serenity Scripture» produces ‚air/Qi’ and is really air/Qi, inner force is not a thing. 至于《照神功》,秦桑试了几次,没能炼出真气,印证了秦桑的猜测,《幽冥经》产生的‘气’和真气、内力不是一个东西。 Because the cultivation internal strength must invade " Serenity Scripture » time, Qin Sang can only give up. 由于修炼内功要侵占《幽冥经》的时间,秦桑只能放弃。 «Seizes Soul Spear/Gun» and «Shadowless Step» tempers actually at times, now attainments already is not low, in addition he himself also chose several martial arts, does not use the Yama streamer, can be a master class. 《夺魂枪》和《无影步》倒是时时锤炼,现在造诣已经不低,加上他自己也挑选了几门武功,不用阎罗幡,也能算是位一流高手了。 At this time, Qin Sang heard loud sound of footsteps to approach to him suddenly, vigilant opening eyes, saw person who also camouflaged the refugee. 这时,秦桑突然听到一阵粗重的脚步声向他靠近,警觉的睁开眼,看到了一个同样伪装成流民的人。 Side waits for that person to arrive, Qin Sang frowns, questioned in a low voice: „Zhang Wenkui, does not make you follow close on General king, why leaves secretly?” 等那人走到身边,秦桑皱起眉头,低声诘问道:“张文奎,不是让你紧跟着王将军,为何私自离开？”
