i have a book of eternity

Chapter 24 Shadow Knife
When he was on Earth, before Xu Sheng crossed over, the world was originally good.

But it suddenly changed one day!

At that time, before the world changed, who could have predicted it?
It's the same here, although Xu Sheng has only lived in the prosperity of the Dayong Dynasty for a few decades, but this prosperity has actually lasted for two or three hundred years!
I said earlier that when Yingying and Lingling were young, the world was relatively chaotic, and it was still considered a prosperous time!It's not troubled times!It's just that the economic conditions were not good at that time, and the imperial court did not abolish the slave trade at that time.

In short, the current collapse of the imperial court is basically similar to the cycle of the decline of dynasties in the ancient history of the earth.

In fact, there were already signs. After all, in Qingyang City before, Xu Sheng was able to easily corrupt so many dignitaries with his interests, which is enough to see that the court of the Dayong Dynasty is already very corrupt!

The heavy rot has accumulated for a long time, and it will explode at the first touch!
At the beginning, Xu Sheng had already noticed that the corruption of the imperial court was very serious, but in Qingyang City, relatively speaking, the oppression of the common people was not that serious and excessive.

So Xu Sheng didn't expect that the troubled times would break out so soon!
But now it seems that the corruption in Qingyang City is only the tip of the iceberg, and the oppression of civilians in other cities is even more excessive.

Because this turmoil also broke out in some other cities at the beginning.

However, under the outbreak of troubled times, the link of the imperial court's political system in the world was cut off, and the yamen of Qingyang City became weak.

Immediately there were many outlaws, and there was chaos here.

In the prosperous age when legal civilization existed, although Xu Sheng had no power to restrain chickens, he was still able to rely on his own brains to make great achievements in business first, and then use profits to bind various dignitaries, so as to turn his hands into a fortune. Clouds, turn hands into rain!

He is admired and admired by countless people!
Even he couldn't help but feel as if he was really powerful.

But after the troubled times, Xu Sheng woke up suddenly!
Understand how weak you really are!
After the law collapsed, his so-called business methods could no longer be effective.

The dignitaries he binds are also in danger of protecting themselves.

Even, many people have died!

The huge wealth he earned from doing business before made him a fat sheep in the eyes of countless desperadoes!

this day.

Lu Ba quickly ran over.

"It's not good, sir!"

He reported to Xu Sheng with an ugly face: "The Jing family was killed by the Shadow Sword Sect!"

Xu Sheng's wives and concubines were shocked.

"What?" Jing Xiang's face was pale.

"Our Jing family has fallen?" Jing Xin staggered.

"Of course, there is no total annihilation!"

Lu Ba explained: "The Jing family should know that they can't hold it anymore! So they led their confidantes overnight to escort their clansmen to break out of the city in different directions! They didn't all escape, but some of them escaped!"

Jing Xiang and Jing Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jingqiu's team was intercepted!"

Lu Ba continued to report: "After he killed the female relatives around him, he fought to death with the members of the Shadow Sword Sect..."

"What?" Jing Xiang's pupils trembled.

"Second brother!" Jing Xin also cried.

"Shadow Knife Gate, Xue Yidao!" Xu Sheng also gritted his teeth.

The Shadow Knife Sect is a terrifying sect that has risen in the area of ​​Qingyang City in this chaotic world.

Qingyang City has fallen!

All the arresters, flee, and die in battle!
The county magistrate has been hanged at the gate of the yamen.

And the person who created this Shadow Knife Gate is also the current owner of the Shadow Knife Gate.

His name is Xue Yidao.

His nickname is Blood Shadow Knife!

That's right, it was the murderer who killed Liang Yikun back then!
What was his real original name?Nobody knows.

All he knew was that he used the name Xue Yidao when he traveled the rivers and lakes.

This person is only about 40 years old.

But he is already an innate master martial arts master.

He has a full beard, not tall, relatively short, but quite strong!
One-handed sword technique is very fast to use.

When the knife is drawn, the light of the knife seems to be a phantom!
This person has been wandering in the green forest in the prosperous age!

The imperial court wanted him for many years, but they couldn't catch him!

There were even several times when the imperial court sent large troops into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and it was obvious that the cottages they belonged to had been wiped out.

But Xue Yidao was still allowed to escape!
In the deep mountains and dense forests, he is an innate martial arts master who is extremely cautious and wants to escape, it is really very difficult to deal with!
It's useless even if all arrows are fired!

Most of the arrows are blocked by dense forest!

After that, he escaped with his body!

If it is on a spacious flat outside the mountains and forests, even a master of innate martial arts will be shot into a hedgehog when he encounters a large army of arrows.

But it is really difficult to deal with it in the deep mountains and green forests!

I thought that was all there was to it.

This person may live in the green forest all his life!
Be a wandering gangster!
Unexpectedly, troubled times are coming!
Give this kind of people a stage.

He took advantage of the situation to rise directly!

The core team is based on the brothers he conquered in the mountains!

Single-handedly created this Shadow Knife Gate!
The subordinates first gathered a lot of heroes from the rivers and lakes!

In addition, it has absorbed many people who have no food due to the troubled times!

It even wiped out many hostile forces around it!

Now it is even more siege and pull out the stronghold, and there is a tendency to separate one side soon!
After the Shadow Knife Sect invaded Qingyang City, ordinary people without armed forces were miserably plundered, burned, killed, looted, and trampled on by the Shadow Knife Sect!
All the major families support themselves to protect themselves!

There are also some families who cannot withstand the attack, give up resistance, and take the initiative to seek peace!

But even if you hand over all your wealth!

It's still full of disasters!
All the males were slaughtered, and all the female relatives were reduced to playthings!
The method of Shadow Knife Gate is very cruel.

They are also very overbearing.

I don't even bother to pretend to be false!
Disdain to play tricks!

Confident that their strength is enough to sweep Qingyang City!

"How is the situation now?"

Xu Sheng asked in a deep voice, "How long can our Xu Mansion last?"

"Master. It won't last long, three days at most."

Lu Ba sighed: "It may be tonight, or even the next moment!"

Xu Sheng also couldn't help being silent.

"Fortunately, the master had the foresight to send our family and so on to a safe city before!"

Lu Ba said again: "It's just me waiting, there may be no way out! Unless you wait for the imperial army, but now it seems that there is little hope..."

Yes, the current situation is very bad.

The Shadow Knife Gate is raging in the city!

Xu Sheng and other big families can only stand by their troops!

As a person who has been rich for most of his life.

Of course, Xu Sheng also raised a group of armed forces himself.

Over the past few decades, after acquiring huge amounts of wealth, Xu Sheng has always attached great importance to buying people's hearts!

He won the hearts of many knight-errants!

The general approach, of course, is to let the other party owe me kindness!

All kinds of kindness owed to me!

The heavier the debt, the better!
In the prosperous era, there were some people with high martial arts skills, they would be forced to use martial arts to commit crimes.

But she doesn't want to be a down and out on the run!

Or you are caught in financial embarrassment, and you don't want to break the law and rob your house!

The so-called penny beats a hero is in the era of prosperity.

Basically, when meeting such people, Xu Sheng would win over them.

Take the money and throw it down to show favor!
Use your relationship in the yamen to help him solve his troubles, and be kind!
Then hire them as nurses to protect yourself!
Over the past few decades, Xu Sheng has given them a good life, helped them solve all kinds of troubles, provided them with various martial arts resources, provided their families with a good living environment, and found good teachers for their children!

These things will be buried in a person's heart.

Therefore, when the troubled times came, these people also tried their best to protect Xu Sheng!
After all, most people still know how to repay their kindness!
Of course, when the troubled times first came, Xu Sheng had already asked his trusted confidants to send his children to a city that was still safe in the world.

Although he also has many heirs hidden in other parts of the world.

But the people of his clan in Qingyang City definitely couldn't ignore it.

At the beginning, although Qingyang City was in chaos, Xu Sheng remained motionless under the protection of the armed force raised by his family.

But who would have thought that there would be wars all over the world!

The imperial court is overwhelmed!

Various sects of the world took advantage of the chaos to emerge!

Now Qingyang City has fallen even more.

Xu Sheng hadn't had time to take his wives and concubines away from Qingyang City!
Because of the sudden attack from the Shadow Knife Gate.

Xu Sheng didn't expect it either.

Now trapped.

Soon, Lu Ba left.

"How to do how to do?"

"Well, why is the world in chaos all of a sudden?"

"How can the people of Shadow Knife Sect be so cruel?"

"Can we escape?"

Xu Sheng's wives and concubines were all pale.

The world has changed!

No one expected it!

No one can escape Hong Tao!
"You can only wait and see what changes."

Xu Sheng also frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I have already sent someone to contact the head of the Shadow Knife Sect to see if there is any room for recovery, if not..."
