Chapter 330 The Start of the Pacification Meeting Is the Day of Their Death
Danzhou is about 2,000 miles away from Yongzhou.
With Shen Qing and his men's speed, they could reach there in just over ten days.
As time passed, they kept moving forward, getting closer and closer to Danzhou, and met many people like them on the road.
However, unlike them, the number of people in other cities was far less than that of Yongzhou.
At first glance, other cities had gathered about 30 or 40 people, and they were mainly martial artists.
And Yongzhou sent 36 officials alone, and there were more than a hundred martial artists.
Among the 810 cities in the Great Zhou Kingdom, except for the places in Kyoto where the aristocratic families gathered and rushed to the future, Yongzhou was really unique.
After another seven or eight days of traveling, Shen Qing and many other martial artists finally arrived near Danzhou City.
There were special people who counted the number of people with the people from the Southern Region Military Department. After confirming that there was no mistake, they were allowed to go one by one and set up camp in an open space specially prepared for them.
When Shen Qing walked into the camp, he looked around and found that there were a lot of people, all of them were martial artists.
He had never seen so many martial artists before, and he was shocked for a moment.
It is said that if such a large army of martial artists work together and form a military formation, even ordinary Yuanshen realm masters cannot easily win.
Unfortunately, for the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, stability is more important than anything else.
They would rather consume these martial artists internally than organize them well.
They have always taken the path of pacifying the country before fighting against foreign enemies.
However, Shen Qing can understand it.
What martial artists pursue is the supreme martial arts, the way to longevity.
If so many martial artists are gathered together, it is not enough to drive them with ordinary food and wages, but various cultivation resources are needed.
But now there are so many martial artists, and the cultivation resources required every day are a huge amount.
Not to mention that with the increasing cultivation, the cultivation resources are also gradually increasing.
So many martial artists are a bottomless pit, and once they start moving, they can never be filled.
In the final analysis, it is because the cultivation resources in this world are too scarce and the spiritual energy is too thin that this is the case.
"Are you from Yongzhou? Your resting area is in the Ding area. Just walk all the way from here." Entering the camp, a soldier in charge pointed at Shen Qing and others and said.
As the soldier spoke, he took out a dark stone with the word "Ding" engraved on it from a sack. He said, "Come on, come on, before you go over, take the merit stone from me first. Remember, this is something that records your military merits. Keep them all well and don't lose them."
"Meritorious stone?"
Everyone was a little puzzled.
In confusion, they stepped forward one by one and took the stone.
"This is yours."
Shen Qing walked in front of the soldier.
Seeing Shen Qing's powerful aura, the soldier realized that his cultivation might not be low.
So compared with others, his attitude became much more respectful.
Shen Qing took the merit stone and looked at it carefully.
The merit stone is black, round, cold to the touch, and has a faint spiritual energy.
In the center is a large "Ding" character.
The soldier explained casually: "This merit stone can absorb evil spirits. The more people you kill, the heavier the evil spirit of this merit stone, and the greater the merit of the owner. The Jingluan Association uses this merit stone to measure merit."
The soldier suddenly laughed and said meaningfully: "Of course, if the merit stone on you is not heavily evil, it is also okay to have a large number of them."
A large number?
Shen Qing instantly understood what the soldier meant.
Each person gets one, and if you have a lot of them, you can only snatch them from others.
As for how to snatch them?
Shen Qing estimated that it is more likely that he killed the other party in this Jingluan Association and then snatched the merit stone.
He suppressed his thoughts, arched his hands slightly, and walked towards the "Ding" area pointed by the soldier.
Shen Qing passed by the center of the camp and found a high platform with a big chair on it. A middle-aged man was sitting on the chair.
He looked down at the front, angry without being imposing.
Just as Shen Qing was looking at the middle-aged man on the platform, the other party glanced at him inadvertently.
A strong power was over him, shaking his whole body.
With just this one glance, Shen Qing felt that his consciousness seemed to be torn apart.
This cultivation is clearly a great power in the Sky Travel Realm!!!
In order to quell the rebellion, the court actually sent a great power in the Sky Travel Realm!
No wonder no one in the camp dared to act rashly.
With such a person guarding, anyone who wants to make trouble is probably looking for death.
Shen Qing's heart was pounding non-stop.
He immediately retracted his gaze and dared not look any more.
He walked to the "D" area of the camp honestly, found an open space to sit down, and regulate his breath.
Soon, other people from Yongzhou came over one after another, gathered together, and sat on the ground.
After running all the way here, these people's faces were covered with dust and looked very embarrassed.
The conditions in the camp can't be said to be very good, but it can be said that they are basically not good.
The scattered tents and stilt houses are basically owned by someone, occupied by some people, and guarded by people outside.
The rest is all empty land.
There is not even a blade of grass, it has been trampled clean.
At noon, each person was given a steamed bun, which was as hard as a stone. One bite might knock out a big tooth, which made people speechless.
Soon the number of people coming to the camp gradually increased, and most of them looked numb and sullen, looking like hapless people.
As many officials in Yongzhou, it was very stressful to see so many martial arts masters.
As if they were discussing at the beginning, they gathered around County Prime Minister Dou Wenxi and County Supervisor Yan Xushou, and asked, "Two adults, what should we do next?"
Dou Wenxi, the county magistrate, said with a gloomy face: "Everyone heard it when they received the merit stone just now. This thing can absorb evil spirits. The more people are killed, the stronger the evil spirits will be. But the soldier did not say what he was killing. people……"
When the officials in Yongzhou heard this, they thought about it carefully and their expressions turned ugly.
The meaning of the governor Dou Wenxi is very clear. For the sake of military exploits, you can kill the traitors of the Huangtian Sect, or you can kill our own people. The main thing is to have no taboos.
"We can think of this, and others can definitely think of it, so we must not mess up our own situation at this time. Although we are more unlucky and have many people coming, but think about it, this is not a big deal for us. Isn’t it an advantage?”
The others nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"This is the principle. When everyone gathers firewood, the flames are high. One chopstick is easy to break, but a handful of chopsticks is not easy to break."
County Supervisor Yan Xushou pointed to the surrounding martial arts masters and said: "Look at those people in twos and threes in each city. To be blunt, the start of the Jingchao Conference is the day they die. In such a chaotic situation, it is taboo to be alone!"
