Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 19

As we all know, the 17-year catastrophe during the Chongzhen period began with the severe drought and famine in Shaanxi.

Although it is still March of the new year, Shaanxi has not seen rain for several months, and there are already signs of severe drought, followed by rising prices and fluctuating people's hearts.

Because of this, the scenes that Lin Zhongtian saw along the way were far more shocking than what he saw on TV and books.

To give the simplest example, during this month, Lin Zhongtian met countless thieves, strongmen and bandits on the road, but the first time he personally killed 27 officers and soldiers in a certain county.

At that time, he passed a village and saw two or three people resting on the ridge of the field, and was about to go there to ask for directions, when he suddenly heard someone shouting in panic, "Officers and soldiers suppress bandits."

The people who were resting on the ridge of the field were suddenly panicked and fled in all directions.

Lin Zhongtian was still a little puzzled at the time, why did the people run away when the officers and soldiers suppressed the bandits?
But in the next second, he saw the officers and soldiers rushing to grab a slow-running farmer and slash him on the neck.

Only then did Lin Zhongtian realize that he had encountered a dirty trick of murdering a good man and taking a meritorious deed.

Without any hesitation, the furious Lin Zhongtian rushed up, grabbed the neck of the officer and soldier, twisted it hard and broke it, then picked up the long knife dropped by the other officer and stabbed it into the chest of another officer with his backhand.

Seeing that someone dared to resist, the officers and soldiers were not surprised but happy, and surrounded them one after another.

It's a pity that they misjudged Lin Zhongtian's strength, thinking that he was the kind of ordinary Jianghu master who could be strangled by the siege of the army, but they never thought that the opponent's strength far exceeded their imagination.

In just ten seconds, Lin Zhongtian killed seven or eight officers and soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables.

If he didn't have a weapon, he took one from the officers and soldiers, and when the weapon broke, he simply used his right hand to kill directly.

Anyway, after so much gray fog strengthening, the bone spur on his right hand is already harder than gold and iron.

Seeing more and more fallen companions, the officers and soldiers surrounding Lin Zhongtian realized that this person in front of them was something they could never afford to offend, so the officers and soldiers fled in all directions in horror.

But how could their speed be on par with Lin Zhongtian, and they were chased and killed by Lin Zhongtian one after another.

Only three officers and soldiers escaped in time because they were riding horses.

Lin Zhongtian didn't dare to chase after him, because he found that on the ridge outside the village, there were a few ragged and hungry refugees staring at the corpses of officers, soldiers and farmers under his feet...

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help trembling in his heart.

Even if he has invincible force in the world, he can't deal with the absurd thing in front of him.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Zhongtian turned and left.

What happened after that, he didn't want to care about it, he didn't even dare to think about it.

After leaving here, Lin Zhongtian was wanted by the government.

The fleeing officers and soldiers saw his bone-like right hand, so they nicknamed him "Bone Demon Hand".

Of course, at this time Lin Zhongtian was only wanted by Bai Dao.

As for being chased and killed by Jianghu temples, black and white, that is another matter.

At that time, Lin Zhongtian came to a county town, and the powerful clan in the county was quite prestigious nearby, and the patriarch at that time was even a well-known senior in the world.

This senior Jianghu had heard of the name of the Bone Demon Hand, and threatened to host a banquet in honor of the new Jianghu rookie.

At first, Lin Zhongtian thought it was a Hongmen banquet set up by the other party and the government, so he ran to the banquet with great interest.

But who would have thought that this old-timer who is known as a chivalrous man would really want to make friends with this 'devil', calling him brother and brother as soon as they met, and clearly wanting to recruit him under his command.

After being rejected by Lin Zhongtian, this Jianghu senior was not annoyed, he changed the subject and wanted to ask him for a favor.

Lin Zhongtian asked curiously, and only then did he learn about the troubles of this Jiang Hu senior.

To put it simply, last year's harvest was not good, and it was already difficult for the local gentry and landlords to collect rent. As a result, a person suddenly appeared at this time and called on the villagers from all over the world to rise up and resist the rent.

The purpose of recruiting him by the senior in Jianghu is to use his hand to get rid of this person.

As long as Lin Zhongtian agrees to make a move, he is willing to present 50 taels of gold as a reward.

In addition, he also promised that he could spend money to establish relationships for Lin Zhongtian, so that the government would withdraw the arrest documents against him.

Hearing this, Lin Zhongtian smiled, feeling that the world is really black or white, or white or not.

After pondering for a while, Lin Zhongtian agreed on the surface, and then quietly sneaked into the target's side, secretly investigated the target's information, and found that he was quite courageous and chivalrous in his actions. He was a typical reckless hero at the end of the dynasty. A righteous man, but he does everything with passion and no brains.

For such a person, Lin Zhongtian still has a good impression.

Just when he was about to show up to make friends with them, he suddenly discovered that a few strange men in black came to his room at night, and had a secret talk with them all night.

Lin Zhongtian improvised the body of a sparrow and flew to the window sill to eavesdrop.

Only then did I learn that there was actually an organization behind this person, called the Tongmenghui.

At present, the Tongmenghui is recruiting righteous men all over the country and plotting an uprising.

But the purpose of their uprising was not to rebel, but to disturb the sight of the court and make the court overwhelmed. At the same time, they took this opportunity to recruit some available masters to go to the capital to rob the law field and rescue their boss.

Lin Zhongtian became interested and left quietly, wanting to go to the capital and meet the boss in the prison.

But on the second day after he left, a news spread in Jianghu.

It was said that Fu Qingyun, the bone demon hand, was dissatisfied with Senior Liu's attitude at the banquet, and angrily attacked, killing Liu's entire family.

In order to avenge his blood, the orphan of the Liu family who worshiped at the gate of Jiange spent all his family wealth and offered a bonus of 1000 taels of gold in the Xuanjin Pavilion.

Countless masters of the rivers and lakes chased and killed Lin Zhongtian for this reason, but none of them were able to take Lin Zhongtian's head. Instead, Fu Qingyun's name became more and more famous.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help snorting softly.

If he guessed correctly, the news should have come from that alliance.

Maybe they were the ones who slaughtered the whole family of the Liu family, or the rebel army they conspired to form.

Lin Zhongtian was very dissatisfied with the fact that the League would plant the accusation on himself, but he didn't bother to go back and trouble the other party, anyway, these people would come to the capital to rob the execution ground in a short time.

As long as he stays in the capital, he can sit and wait for the other party to take the bait.

At that time, Lin Zhongtian will make a move again, and make a good calculation with them...

While Lin Zhongtian was thinking this way, he threw a few taels of silver at the guards at the gate of the city.

The guard of the city gate saw that Lin Zhongtian was handsome, fair-skinned, and the clothes and accessories on his body were all expensive, and his attitude towards the city guards was extremely arrogant, as if he was treating his own servants, so he thought that the other party was from some noble family in the capital Young master, he didn't even dare to ask a question, so he welcomed him into the capital obsequiously.

Entering the capital, looking at the seemingly prosperous streets in front of him, Lin Zhongtian sighed faintly.

He never thought that he, the most wanted criminal wanted by the government, could walk into the capital in such a grand manner.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty is indeed in danger of subjugation...

Lin Zhongtian felt emotional, glanced left and right, locked on a teahouse and walked over.
