Chapter 98: Baihao Mountain
"drive!"
On the official road, several fast horses galloped, and the scenery on both sides quickly retreated.
At the end of the road, the outline of a town slowly emerged, growing bigger and bigger, surrounded by fields and houses, which was obviously a place of prosperity.
"Here, Baihao Town!"
In front of the city gate, Duan Yu dismounted and looked at the "villages and towns" that were not inferior to ordinary county towns, and the huge mountains in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little remembrance.
"Is that Baihao Mountain?"
From a distance, Qin Feiyu saw a mountain rolling and rolling. Although it was not very high, the mountain was covered with snow and had a bit of quiet smell.
"This Baihao Wood is a specialty of Baihao Mountain, which is an indispensable auxiliary material for training Baihao Taoist soldiers... And the 200,000 acres of fertile land near Baihao Mountain was given to the Baihao Mountain Dao Line when the state of Qing Dynasty was established. Therefore, this place and this town are all private leaders of Baihao Mountain! The farmers in this city and nearby are also private citizens of Baihao Mountain! Therefore, they can only be called towns, not cities!"
Duan Yu raised his whip and pointed at Baihao Mountain to introduce Qin Feiyu: "In addition, this Baihao Mountain has another magical feature, that is, no matter which direction you look up, if you can see the top of Baihao, it means you are in its private collar. Once you can't see it, it means it's out of its range!"
"Twenty-hundred thousand acres?" Qin Feiyu blinked: "This is just acre of land, and the forest land is at least three or four times more. In this way, it is a small county? It actually cuts one county into a fief? Even if the Duke of the State is not as good as that?"
"Duke?" Duan Yu sneered: "Granting tens of acres of land is a great achievement. As for separating a county, do you want to rebel? But you don't have to drool. Which of the vassal princes in the south is not a place that owns a county or even several counties? It's like separatist?"
In this world, 1,500 acres of land, converted into Duan Yu's memory, is about one square kilometer.
Two hundred thousand mu of land is more than 130 square kilometers, and this is still farmland. Here are mountainous areas, hills and jungles, as well as towns, rural areas, roads... There are all kinds of trees, three times more than the land, which is nearly 600 square kilometers!
In short, it is indeed a county!
In a mature unified dynasty, no noble title could be granted the title of a county unless it wanted to rebel.
Qingguo is undoubtedly the kind of country that appreciates centralization the most, and its monitoring of domestic unstable forces has reached a peak.
Bai Haoshan can still do this in this environment, not only because of his extraordinary strength, but also because he has close ties with the royal family of King Qing.
It is said that the founding king of Qing Dynasty was able to establish this country on the body of Daxia with the assistance of Baihao Mountain. When the matter was infringed, he promised to give it to Baihao Mountain!
"Tsk tsk, such a large fiefdom, Baihao Mountain is like a local emperor!"
Qin Feiyu praised him repeatedly.
Duan Yu smiled and said, "This is natural. As a direct subordinate of Baihao Mountain, these fiefdoms can not only go to Daoshan for qualifications every generation, but even if they cannot practice Taoism, they can also run for Taoist soldiers. In short, there is one more way out compared to other places. Baihao Mountain will also provide relief when encountering major disasters. It is considered a good life!"
After all, it is his own fiefdom and people, and any lord will treat it with care, so there is no need to say more.
"Dao Soldier?"
Qin Feiyu licked his lips, obviously with different emphasis: "I don't know how compared to Taotie elite soldiers?"
"Haha... that's naturally inferior. After all, they are private soldiers of the Taoist sect, but they are more powerful than the elite soldiers in ordinary soldiers. Moreover, because of their special physique, they are very easy to accept the blessing of Taoism, so they praise the soldiers!"
Once ordinary soldiers and horses have reached scale, they will definitely have iron-blooded evil spirits, which will offset all magical powers.
The Taoist soldiers try to weaken this resistance. Of course, it is only for Baihaoshan’s unique Taoist techniques, using Taoist soldiers to cooperate with Taoist techniques is very sharp.
However, if such Taoist soldiers encounter iron-blooded elite soldiers taught by real military talents, they will still be inferior to each other.
'In the future war escalates, ordinary soldiers are almost useless. Only Taoist soldiers and elite soldiers are the right way... However, the five poison elite soldiers inherited by the Taoist Taoist last time were not Taoist soldiers, but real military methods. Obviously, those ancient sects looked down on the four-dimensional appearance of Taoist soldiers, and they would follow the most authentic ones as soon as they got started.'
Duan Yu thought, and said again: "But although this soldier consumes less than the elite soldiers, it is more elite than the Dragon Army. It is also very expensive. Baihao Mountain has a fiefdom and Taoist temples worshipped all over the country, so it only raises about 1,500... Don't underestimate them, at least there is no problem in fighting with your previous boss, the Taotie camp commanded by Chen Ce, and it will be a loss!"
"hiss……"
When Qin Feiyu heard this, he immediately took a breath of cold air.
He had seen the might of the Grand Supervisor Taotie Camp with his own eyes before. Although it was a night attack, it could stir up tens of thousands of military camps with more than a hundred, and it was extremely brave.
And this Taoist soldier was able to lose both sides?
Although it was 1,500 to 100, it was also very scary.
"What I said is that you, Governor Chen Ce, went to fight in person, and also included the situation of Taotie Divine Armor... If this thing was not used to help, the 100 Taotie camps would definitely be destroyed!" Duan Yu thought for a while and added.
"Okay, it's my frog in the well..." Qin Feiyu smiled bitterly, and was a little curious: "Brother, you seem to be very familiar with Bai Haoshan?"
Especially the number of soldiers is not known to the middle and high-level officials.
"It's just the information I saw in the Godly Captain Department, and do you know why we came here?" Duan Yu laughed and covered up and changed the topic.
"This...I'm very strange, too..."
Before, Duan Yu had been bringing Qin Feiyu to the death of the Qingdu, and his reputation was so bad that he could stop the child from crying at night, but suddenly he stopped and ran hundreds of miles away, which really puzzled him.
"It's very simple... I saw clues from the homes of the officials who were raided and thought it was related to this place. I came to investigate the case!"
Duan Yu said seriously: "What do you think?"
Behind him was a deputy of Li Rugui and Qin Feiyu.
Although there was a king's order card, the Dragon Army could not be transferred out of the Qingdu area. He came on a single fast horse, but these two guys were pestering each other, or followed with loyalty, which made Duan Yu sneer in his heart.
'Although what I did before was crazy, to put it bluntly, I am an official, a businessman is a civilian, or a pariah! I copied it, and although I had touched some of the interests of the powerful, it would not be worth it to chase them relentlessly!'
'But then he was raided several officials, and even a censor! Hehe... I'm afraid this has been broken, right? Although I went out in the name of looking for clues, I'm afraid that in a few days, an angel with the imperial edict would come to take me... But, this time I came out, I didn't plan to go back again!'
However, even Duan Yu will make mistakes in guessing.
Not to mention it was him, even a master like Zhengyang Taoist Master, he would not dare to say that he could do all the secrets of heaven.
Therefore, he didn't know that Cui Shan was ready to take the blame.
However, knowing that Qingdu is a dragon's den to him, should he still go back and be a knife?
‘The mastermind behind Daxia has been brought up a little. Next, it depends on the skills of the Qingguo Traveler Department and the God-Catcher Department... As for me?’
Duan Yu looked at Baihaoshan with a smile on his face.
Zhengyang Dao and the mastermind behind the scenes are really unable to deal with it, at least they are not able to resist it now.
Then if my enemies counted carefully, it seemed that there were only a few left here.
‘After finishing the work here, I immediately stepped out, and the affairs of Qingguo have nothing to do with me!’
As for the grace of the king? The cause and effect of the country's fortune?
Haha! I have been through life and death, and have repeatedly solved major cases. I have killed the Heavenly Master in the grassland, and searched many Northern Yan spies in Qingdu. Isn’t it enough to repay?
"Let's go! Let's go up the mountain!"
Duan Yu looked at the scenery of Baihao Mountain and sighed quietly.
The grudges and grudges in the previous life finally come to liquidate them together!
...
As soon as the group arrived at the foot of Baihao Mountain, they seemed to have discovered the top of the mountain. The group of Taoists quickly went down the mountain and arranged on both sides.
"Welcome Duan Yinzhang!"
Taoist Dancheng strode out and came to greet him in person, which obviously gave Duan Yu a great face.
"I have seen the Taoist priest, but I wonder if the real person in the head sect is in good health?"
When Duan Yu saw the ceremony, he saw Yu Jingbai and Taoist Jingfeng following Dancheng, and couldn't help but smile again.
"Although Daoji was damaged, his life was not in danger, but he was unable to stay!"
Taoist Dancheng sighed, and moved Duan Yu up the steps and entered from the main entrance.
This etiquette is the great open mountain gate in the Taoist vein, and it is extremely grand.
The stone steps are covered with snow, but the middle has been cleared in advance, showing the color of moss, full of ancient charm.
Even if a martial artist like Qin Feiyu climbed up the steps and saw the quiet scenery on both sides, he could not help but have some thoughts of being unworldly.
"After passing the pavilion on the mountain, there is the Immortal Waterfall, and there are ten miles of Baihao Forest... Unfortunately, if Duan Yinzhang came in spring and autumn, he would be able to see the grand scene of Baihao Flying!"
Taoist Dancheng personally accompanied him and said with some meaning: "By the way, why is Duan Yinzhang here yet?"
"Oh! I was ordered by the monarch to investigate the spies and raided several stores in Qingdu. There was evidence to point here. Come and take a look!" Duan Yu said without any concealment.
Hearing this, several low-level disciples who were attending the service suddenly turned red.
Duan Yu's words simply point out that Baihao Mountain is a place where dirt is hidden!
If it weren't for Dan Cheng's pressure, he would have spoken out almost immediately!
"Is that true?"
Dancheng was stunned, and then he thought of Danzhu, and his eyes darkened: "This matter is important, and I'll wait for the old Taoist to introduce the head sect to you!"
"Thank you!"
Duan Yu bowed and asked curiously, "Have you not elected a new mountain master yet?"
The former Shanzhu became a useless man, so he naturally couldn't sit steadily and had to abdicate and give way to the wise.
"This...ah, it's all a family embarrassment!"
Taoist Dancheng smiled bitterly and welcomed Duan Yu to the main hall of Baihao Mountain.
From a distance, this is a magnificent Taoist palace, covering an area of acres and lingering clear air.
