Chapter 9 Recruiting refugees!

"Even the pass has been demolished?"

Ji Meng's face was full of surprise.

He had long expected that Qin would make small moves, but he didn't expect it to be so ruthless.

In this way, what else does Ji Nan have?

Only an empty Hangu was left.

"Your Highness, Qin probably wants to kill the fourth prince so that he can continue to secretly take charge of Hangu Pass."

The left minister spoke out from the side.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. The most urgent task is to find Mr. Guigu and try to let him appear at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony three months later!"

After walking for a while, Ji Meng waved his hand.

It’s not his turn to worry about Hangu Pass now, unless he becomes the crown prince first.

"Yes! Your Highness!"

............As the sunset, hundreds of birds return to their nests, thousands of beasts return to their caves, Zhoudu, a dilapidated temple in the west of the city gathered many beggars in tattered clothes, including young ladies, seventies, and three-year-old children.

"Go to Hangu Pass? Will we be placed there?"

At this time, a man in strong clothes stood in front of the beggars, and the other beggars asked with surprise.

"Yes, Zhoudu has poor supplies and you can't eat all day long, so why not go to Hangu to try it?"

The man nodded.

"But... I heard that the new Hangu Pass was the former fourth prince. This fourth prince didn't want anything... and was weak and sickly. The beggars in front of his mansion were unwilling to go there..."

The beggar is well-informed.

They know a lot of things that ordinary people don’t know.

How can an existence that cannot be protected by itself be able to accommodate beggars?

"Don't worry about this. If there is no food after arriving in Hangu, you will be back... Anyway, it won't take much time."

The man smiled faintly and said again.

"this......"

The beggars still don't believe it,

Hangu is hundreds of miles away from the circumference, so it is not easy to walk.

"Believe it or not!"

This time, after saying that, the strong man turned around and left without saying a word.

"ah?"

The beggars were stunned. They didn't expect this man to be so straightforward.

"What should I do? If it is true as this man said, Hangu Pass is indeed a good place!"

When the man walked away, an elderly beggar spoke.

In fact, they are not beggars in the true sense, they are all refugees who are fleeing everywhere because of war.

"Uncle, why don't you try it? This week is not a good place."

There is a beggar who is quite moved.

When I came to Zhoudu, I thought that Zhoudu was the place where the princes were, after all, and would definitely be extremely wealthy, and there would be no problem in making a living.

As a result... After coming, I found that Zhou Du was so poor that he could only borrow supplies from various princes and live on tribute. The people's life was far worse than other princely countries.

"Why don't you go and try it? If the Hangu Pass is not possible, we can just pass through Hangu and go to Qin. I heard that Qin is rich and will definitely be able to make a living."

Some beggar thought about it and said.

I don't want to stay in Zhoudu anyway.

"This is a good idea!"

"Okay! Then that's it..."

"Everyone packs up and asks for more dry food, and sets off tomorrow!"

"Um!"

This similar scene did not only happen in this dilapidated temple, but also was happening where refugees gathered in Zhoudu.

On the other side, the man in a dressed costume left the dilapidated temple and returned to the small courtyard in Zhoudu.

There was a boy in black waiting in the courtyard.

"Senior brother, has the news spread?"

The boy in black asked.

He was no one else, it was the young man who opened the door when Ji Nan visited Mo Di.

"It has been spread. Now all the disciples of the Mo Sect have received the news. At the latest, refugees from all over the princes will receive such news."

The man in strong clothes nodded.

They didn't know why they did this, it was the order of the giant!

Since it is a giant's order, it must be executed unconditionally.

"Okay! Master has already gone to Hangu Pass first. No disciple in the sect can know about this matter! Master has been the marquis's disciple and only knows about you and me."

The boy said again.

Although he is called the senior brother of a handsome man, judging from his tone of speaking, his status in the Momen is obviously not low.

"Well! But there is one more thing we may not... we can't make a decision, and we still need to send a message to our master, junior brother."

After a pause, a hint of hesitation flashed between the man in strong clothes.

"Oh? What are you referring to?"

The boy was surprised.

"Han Fei, the leader of the Hidden Sect, recently wanted to defend the Dharma with his master. He is now on his way to Zhoudu, but his master is now following the Marquis to Hangu..."

The man touched his chin.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to the Qi Refiners who served in various princes, there were some Qi Refiners who were unwilling to get involved in the disputes in the temple and chose to practice in the world.

Most of these sects have existed in the form of hidden sects.

Among them, Momen and Yinmen are the strongest.

The princes of all walks of life also knew the existence of the Hidden Sect and knew the strength of the other party. Many princes wanted to take the Hidden Sect under their command, but later they found that the two sides were of equal strength and could not be conquered at all.

So a hidden rule was formed, and both sides did not interfere with each other.

The Hidden Sect will not participate in the affairs between the princes, and the Hidden Sect will not interfere even more in the battle between the Hidden Sect.

Han Fei is the lord of this hidden sect.

"Huh! Since that's the case, I'll send a message to Master and see how Master decides."

When the boy heard this, he thought for a while and said.

"That's all!"

"Um!"

.........

The stars are changing, and it will take two days in a blink of an eye.

At the entrance of Hangu, in a temporary hall, Xiao Nan sat in the main seat, with Guiguzi and Mozi sitting on the left and right sides respectively.

Behind him is the old slave Cai Ping serving him.

In front of the hall are four Qi Refiners at the peak of Qi Condensation Period.

In addition to them, there were two men wearing Qin costumes kneeling in the hall.

"Name?"

After a moment, Ji Nan spoke lightly.

"The villain Jiping, the villain Sun Long!"

When asked, the two men in the hall hurriedly replied.

It can be seen that in addition to the deep fear on their faces, there are more doubts and confusion.

They were originally disciples of the Jindan stage in Yingning Mansion in Qin Dynasty, but were ordered to destroy the two passes, Hangu Pass and Tongguan.

Unexpectedly, he destroyed Hangu Pass on the way back, but was stopped by an old man.

As soon as they took action, the two discovered that the old man opposite was terrifyingly high.
To be continued...
