Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 46 Chaos
Dongfeng Town was in chaos.
Ever since the Huxing Sect was destroyed seven days ago and the Xiao family's secret mine was robbed three days ago, the troops of Wudong County Magistrate Hong Youcai fought a battle with Xiao Qingzhu, the third son of the Xiao family, on the water, killing Xiao Qingzhu and more than 300 of his naval forces.
After that, a fierce conflict broke out between Wudong County and Siming County. If Wudong County had not been far away from Siming County, the Xiao family might have already come to attack them.
But the relationship between them has deteriorated to the extreme. If there is any disturbance, Dongfeng Town will be in chaos.
At this time, Siming County was attacked again.
The ones who attacked Siming County were naturally the escaped miners including Song Xiu.
They sent people to sneak into Siming County during the day, and then broke into the city under the cover of night. This incredible thing actually made them successful.
They had no intention of occupying Siming County. After they entered Siming County, they simply robbed the arsenal and granary in Siming County and ran away.
This time they stole three years' worth of grain from Siming County, and also stole enough weapons and equipment to equip three thousand men.
At the same time, because it was a night siege, they did not encounter much obstruction. Only conflicts occurred with the guards of places such as the armory and granary.
However, when they were withdrawing from Siming County, they were pursued by the troops stationed outside Siming County. After the battle between the two sides, more than a hundred people from each side were killed.
Naturally, all this could not be hidden from Wang Liang, who lived near Siming County.
In fact, when Song Xiu sneaked into Siming County, Wang Liang noticed this situation.
Under the protection of Butler Xiao Lan, Wang Liang watched all of Song Xiu's actions.
After returning to the main house, Wang Liangcai said two sentences: "There is something wrong with this world, and the Xiao family has a master."
Wang Liang has already fully understood the situation of this battle. All the things in Siming County were given to Song Xiu by the Xiao family.
After robbing things from Siming County, Song Xiu's fortune changed significantly.
If before entering the city, Song Xiu was shrouded in a thick evil aura, just like a newly sprouted grass that could lift up all the boulders blocking the way, then after leaving the city, the evil aura on Song Xiu's body was like a huge dead tree, which looked powerful but was actually empty inside.
Such a change surprised Wang Liang.
He clearly felt the impact of this change in fortune on Song Xiu.
After leaving Siming County, Song Xiu clearly had many routes to choose from, but he rushed to the hills near Siming County.
It can be seen that he plans to build a stronghold in the mountains.
When he attacked the city, he brought a large number of carts. It was obvious that this was not his original idea. He must have wanted to leave Dongfeng Town.
As a result, his luck changed and his thoughts changed.
From this point we can see the influence of the world's destiny on some people.
Perhaps this is what is said in books like "The Investiture of the Gods", when people are in a great catastrophe, it is as if they are possessed by ghosts.
And this method must have been arranged by someone from the Xiao family.
They chose Song Xiu in the beginning, definitely to use him as an initiator for some things.
This can be seen from the layout of the mine, which still has three years left.
Now that Song Xiu was released early by Wang Liang, their plan could not be implemented.
For the Xiao family, this was like cutting off a road.
So they have to make up for this.
Their method was to lure Song Xiu to attack Siming County.
This was something Wang Liang never dared to think about, but they actually succeeded.
Wang Liang believed that guided by destiny and having gained an advantage in Siming County, Song Xiu would find a way to stay in the nearby hills and become a bandit there, looting nearby cities on a regular basis.
By then, the Xiao family will have legitimate reasons and excuses whether they send troops to attack or to recruit the enemy.
The results of Song Xiu's hard work over the past few years will also become the Xiao family's final resources.
Maybe the Xiao family wants to use this person as an excuse.
For example, they could guide Song Xiu to attack other counties, and the Xiao family would then lend a helping hand. Then, as long as they killed the county magistrates of other counties, no one would be able to stop the Xiao family from annexing that county.
Wang Liang could think of many such methods at once.
However, what he admired more was the Xiao family's method of resolving the issue.
In just a few days, the Xiao family was able to turn the situation around and make Song Xiu a chess piece in their hands again. From this, it can be seen that in addition to Hu Xingzong, the Xiao family also has other think tanks.
“I don’t know who it is.”
Wang Liang sighed. After watching the battle all night, Wang Liang was a little tired.
The housekeeper Xiao Lan who was following behind Wang Liang asked at this time: "Master, are you going to participate in the dragon fight?"
Wang Liang thought about this question after entering the game.
He came here to level up. He couldn't enter the series of games in the River of Time, and this was the only game in the Alien World and Starry Sky that was suitable for him. He had already made up his mind that he had to at least upgrade to level 45 here, and then he could go out after he could choose any other game in the Alien World and Starry Sky.
After the battle a few days ago, his level has been raised to 26, and now he is only 19 levels away from reaching his goal.
It is impossible to improve if you stay in your main house all the time.
So Wang Liang had to join the battle.
At least a few big and tough battles like the one against the Huxing Sect must be fought.
Such big and tough battles will surely happen in the next few years, and time is on the line of the fight for the dragon.
You must participate in the fight for the dragon. Even if you don't jump out yourself, you must find a suitable team and at least make a name for yourself.
This is what Wang Liang thought.
But before that, because there are still a few years left, Wang Liang cannot sit idle. He plans to find some fighter planes nearby to improve his strength.
So Wang Liang directly responded to Butler Xiaolan's question:
"Yes, but now is not the right time. We cannot raise the flag on our own. With the limited military forces we have, we can't even take Siming County. So what we need to do is to make a name for ourselves, show our military power and demands, and let people come to us."
"Then the master wants to serve in this world for once. Do you have a goal?"
"I personally feel that the Dongfeng Marquis family is still okay. At least they can protect themselves, and they don't have such big ambitions. If we join them, Dongfeng Town will not be destroyed, and we don't have to worry about being sent to a corner where we are doomed to die one day."
As Wang Liang spoke, he turned around twice. Finally, he turned to Butler Xiao Lan and said, "Please inform Xiao Hui and ask him to prepare his men. We are going to make a name for ourselves."
