Chapter 1005: Shui Yao Army

"Stop talking nonsense! Search quickly!"

Huang Hua was willing to listen, so he sent his men into the village to search for food.

The men swarmed into the barren village like locusts.

Zhou Ran originally wanted to help, but then he thought about it. The soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were in power, and the soldiers in the country were naturally lawless. This was just a microcosm of the Ming Dynasty.

You can help one village, but you cannot help all villages.

If he caused trouble and interfered with his search for the Shura Pillar, it would be more than worth the loss.

Zhou Ran didn't take any action, just peeked from the side.

Huang Hua's men were so domineering that they searched out all the remaining food in the village.

Zhou Ran didn't just watch. When several soldiers were about to hurt someone, Zhou Ran attacked with strength, and the soldiers suddenly fell on their backs.

How did Huang Hua know that there was a master nearby? When he saw his subordinates making a fool of themselves, he said angrily: "They are all a bunch of useless things. I have raised you all in vain? Let's go!"

After giving the order, the soldiers plundered all the food in the village and left.

Zhou Ran followed closely and came to the military camp of Shui Yao Army.

There were only a dozen military tents here, and Zhou Ran calculated that there were only one or two hundred soldiers.

It seems that this is just a small team of the Shui Yao Army. They are wandering around and rely entirely on plundering nearby people for their food.

There is no need to expect an army like this to protect the country.

Zhou Ran didn't bother to comment, so he sneaked into the military camp in a flash.

With Zhou Ran's physical skills, these soldiers could not detect him at all. Zhou Ran was familiar with the road and quickly arrived at the tent of captain Huang Hua.

Huang Hua was drinking and eating meat at this time, when suddenly there was another person in front of him, and he was suddenly stunned.

"Who are you? Where do you come from?"

Zhou Ran sneered: "You are not qualified to know."

"Somebody come!"

Huang Hua wanted to call someone, but Zhou Ran had already choked him, and he couldn't make any sound.

Zhou Ran said in a cold tone: "You don't protect your home and country as a soldier, but you plunder the people. What use do you have for such an army?"

While talking, Huang Hua was strangled to death by Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran threw Huang Hua's body aside, and a ball of flame rose up in his palm, which was the Xiantian True Fire.

The fire burned Huang Hua's body completely, leaving nothing behind.

"After taking care of the body, the next step is to replace him!"

Zhou Ran raised the corner of his mouth slightly, found a piece of armor worn by Huang Hua, and put it on himself.

In order to avoid Jian Zong's eyes and ears, he never showed his true face and disguised himself as Huang Hua. Zhou Ran did not feel any psychological pressure at all.

Except for his voice, Zhou Ran was exactly the same as the captain he killed. It was impossible for the soldiers to find out.

Zhou Ran planned to use Huang Hua's appearance to inquire about information in the Ming Dynasty and find the location of the Shura Pillar as soon as possible.

There was still food and wine left in Huang Hua's meal, and Zhou Ran was about to feast when someone suddenly came in from outside the tent to report.

"Captain, this is an emergency summons from the general, asking you to come over quickly!"

"General? Which general?" Zhou Ran was stunned, "Is it the general Hou Bufan?"

The herald was suddenly stunned and said: "Captain, are you drunk? How can we see a general with our status? Of course it is Shuiyao General Luo Hong!"

"Okay! I'll leave now!"

Zhou Ran nodded, no longer asked, and led his team to Qiling Post not far away.

Everyone in the Shui Yao Army,

All gathered here.

Zhou Ran looked at the size of the Shui Yao Army. There were only about ten teams, with a total of more than 2,000 people.

It seems that on weekdays, General Shui Yao just has a free-range mentality towards his troops, letting them find their own rations. Only when necessary will he call all the teams together.

The soldiers of the Shui Yao Army gathered together, and General Luo Hongcai stood on a high place and said: "Soldiers, the time has come for you to perform your mission! Yuhui City, thirty miles away, is the ancient capital of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of thousands of years. It is said that it is the ancient capital of the Ming Dynasty. There are countless treasures and spiritual stones below! If we dig out those treasures and spiritual stones, they will be enough for the Shui Yao Army to eat for a hundred years!"

As soon as Luo Hong gave the order, the soldiers started talking about it.

"Let us dig out the city? Isn't this too thankless? Since Yuhui City is an ancient capital and has been abandoned for so many years, I'm afraid it has been dug up long ago. Where can we still have meat to eat?"

"It is said that the tombs of royal families from generations ago have been stolen. Where can there be any treasures and spiritual stones underground in Afterglow City?"

"Did the general lie to us?"

Since the Shui Yao Army had not gathered together for a long time, the soldiers had some distrust of General Luo Hong.

Luo Hong had a sad face, and in order to convince everyone, he invited a woman out.

"Everyone, this woman's ancestor was once a citizen of Yuhui City. She told me that there are a lot of treasures under Yuhui City that have not yet been discovered! If we go to excavate Yuhui City, we will definitely gain something!"

The woman was unambiguous and said: "General Luo Hong is right, these things were found under the ground of Afterglow City!"

With that said, the woman took out countless treasures from the Qiankun Ring.

These treasures sparkled in the moonlight, and the soldiers were all dumbfounded.

The soldiers who were still skeptical before all changed their attitudes, and everyone's face showed greedy eyes.

"Serve General Luo to the death!"

"Shui Yao Army will definitely monopolize the treasure!"

"We will dig the entire Afterglow City to the ground!"

The soldiers kept shouting, but Zhou Ran's face didn't look good.

The reason is that the woman in front of him is an old friend of Zhou Ran.

She is none other than Shi Ji, the former leader of Shimen.

If Zhou Ran had met Shi Ji before, he would not have been surprised. However, he killed Shi Ji himself in the battle of Tianfeng City. Shi Ji was completely destroyed. How could she appear here?

Zhou Ran once suspected that Shi Ji was a fake. However, even if her appearance could be faked, her aura could not be faked.

This woman is Shi Ji herself.

How did the woman he killed come back to life?

Zhou Ran was puzzled. When he thought of the earth, he had destroyed Shi Ji's soul, but Shi Ji was still unscathed.

"Could it be that this woman is immortal?"

Zhou Ran muttered in his heart.

Not only did Shi Ji come back to life, but her strength was also greatly improved. It was no longer the same as the last time they fought.

As for the purpose of this woman, Zhou Ran could guess that, like himself, she was also coming for the Shura Pillar.

He actually asked the soldiers of Shuiyao Army to go to Yuhui City to dig deep to find something, which saved the trouble of searching like looking for a needle in a haystack. .

However, Shi Ji didn't know that the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind.

I recognized Shi Ji, but Shi Ji couldn't recognize me after I changed my appearance.
