Dedicate One’s Mind

Chapter 960 The King’s Master

Within a few days, Shen Congyue's followers expanded several times to nearly 10,000 people. Unlike the people under the rule of the Daji Dynasty, in addition to believing in gods, they were also controlled by the court.

That human dragon energy is quite annoying, it is simply the nemesis of Shinto.

Prairie people, maybe they are "stupid", maybe they are "straightforward", but for Shinto, they are the favorite people. After transformation, they are all loyal believers, and one believer is as good as the rest. Times, the incense and spiritual thought of dedication are also extremely pure.

The grassland is full of disasters and precarious conditions. Living in such a harsh environment, their purity of heart is unimaginable to many people.

This time, Shen Congyue had a lot to eat. The last few times she saw Wu Yi, she was always beaming with joy. She originally thought that Wu Yi would stop for a few days after taking down the she-wolf god. Unexpectedly, Wu Yi actually told her , to transform the gangsters in Thorn Ridge into her followers.

Shen Congyue naturally had no objection to this. After all, it was for her own good. However, conquering the major tribes in the grasslands in the past few days had consumed a lot of her energy. She was worried that she would not be able to fulfill Wu Yi's expectations. The meaning of refusal.

Moreover, the thorny ridge bandits are either veterans of many battles or thugs who kill many people. They can be conquered wherever they want.

Wu Yi said: "I didn't ask you to conquer them all at once, but gradually, there will come a day. Your mission is to punish corrupt officials. If those gangsters believe in you, it will be like finding a way out for themselves, and they can be rewarded with this money." Washing your hands in the basin is also a great merit of yours!”

Shen Congyue nodded dubiously. Wu Yi had already said so. It was a big deal to go and have a look.

On the tenth day of the garrison at Langyankou, Wu Yi and Shen Congyue came to Jingjiling Ridge, which they had passed before. The area was only a hundred miles away, but there were dozens of bandits entrenched there, making it extremely chaotic.

A wave of gangsters had been collected here before. From their mouths, Wu Yi learned that among these dozens of gangsters, some were powerful gangsters. They were even secretly supported by the Daji Dynasty or the Beilu tribe and assumed the responsibilities of the Black Gloves. , do something unclean.

Wu Yi's breakthrough point is not them. In fact, Wu Yi still needs to deliberately avoid these gangsters who may be related to the dynasty. Once he offends someone he shouldn't offend, there is no room for regret.

Hiding his aura, Wu Yi wandered around the lairs of the major gangsters, using the fortune-telling astrolabe to find out their numbers and strength to facilitate future decisions.

It had been like this in the past few days, so much so that Shen Congyue even wondered whether Wu Yi was too timid to carry out the plan after knowing that there was a powerful force behind him.

However, on the fourth day, Wu Yi used some means to mow down a group of small gangsters and about a hundred people. In the process, Wu Yi did not use any magical power, and it was completely humane.

Shen Congyue knew Wu Yi's intentions and cooperated skillfully. With lightning speed, he successfully converted everyone into believers in one night.

However, many gangsters are only at a level of doubt and do not have deep faith. Once they have doubts, their previous efforts will be in vain.

Shen Congyue was already struggling to maintain the faith of his grassland tribe. Now he had to be wary of these gangsters from time to time, which made him even more exhausted. Although he did not dare to complain about Wu Yi, his family knew about his family affairs, so he could not hold on for long.

Wu Yi knew Shen Congyue's difficulty and said: "I have found a gangster lair where officials and gangsters colluded. You tell them the personnel layout and defensive terrain. After killing this group of gangsters, they should not be the same as before. So suspicious of you."

Shen Congyue acted according to Wu Yi's words and encouraged this group of gangsters to attack another group of gangsters. Both parties were not strong, but the latter was more than twice as strong as the former, with two hundred knives!

There is a mixture of people and snakes in the Thorn Ridge, and a firefight may happen at any time. However, the prerequisite for a firefight is that the strength of the two sides is almost the same. The difference in strength is more than double. Isn't it asking for death?

Therefore, from the very beginning, some people within the gangsters disagreed with this attack. This group of people also had weak faith in Shen Congyue and were always wavering.

However, under the pressure of Shen Congyue, this battle was finally carried out. Shen Congyue understood that his authority depended on this battle. If he failed, his hard work for several days would be in vain. .

I have told them all about my military arrangements. If I can't win, I am incompetent. Different from Shen Congyue's worries, Wu Yi looked at it this way. It's okay not to want such an incompetent subordinate.

Even though Wu Yi was following the gangster, he remained silent and had no intention of helping.

The two gangs of gangsters met "as promised". Because the weak side knew that they knew each other, they gained an advantage from the beginning and caught the other side by surprise. It was only when they climbed to the mountainside that their men made mistakes and were noticed by the enemy, and began to attack on a large scale. Fire merge.

The weak side knew the geography of the mountains, took advantage of the situation, and predicted the opponent's prediction. Out of a hundred people, they lost less than twenty people, and achieved a great victory by annihilating half a hundred of the opponent's people and surrendering a hundred people. Only forty or fifty people escaped from the opponent. Not a climate.

At this point, Shen Congyue breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his followers were saved.

However, the most critical thing was that later, the weak party opened the other party's treasury and searched and obtained a lot of evidence of transactions with the government, which was considered to be the crime of collusion between officials and gangsters.

In this way, the morale of the weak side was greatly boosted, because their reason for launching the war was that the strong side colluded with the government and killed the people, which was an act of justice for heaven.

Gangsters, to put it bluntly, unless there is a hole in the head, no one is willing to do this business without capital. What you think is a zero-dollar purchase may cost you your life. There is no free lunch in the world.

If it were not for exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the superior officers would be too oppressive and would become bandits. This would be a last resort.

Shen Congyue's mission is to resist corrupt officials. After this battle, this gangster has undergone a slight change. They more or less have the idea in their hearts that they are teachers of justice and are doing justice for heaven.

Next, Wu Yi's idea was not surprising, just snowball, let this army continue to grow, and squeeze out the living space of other gangsters.

With Wu Yi's information support and Shen Congyue's spiritual guidance, these gangsters, no, they can no longer be said to be gangsters. They are the people's soldiers and the masters of the king.

Shen Congyue began to understand Wu Yi's thoughts, but she had not yet figured out what Wu Yi's purpose was. What did Wu Yi want to do after accumulating such a huge power? Become a king yourself, or change the dynasty——

Just imagining it made Shen Congyue tremble with fear, and Wu Yi in his eyes became more and more confusing.
