It had been 300 years since the founding of Great Xia, and the world was no longer very peaceful. Not only was the government corrupt, but the places were also extremely rotten. There was pressure from the foreign races at the border, so it was still barely doable.
But of the sixteen prefectures of Grand Xia, at least half of them were rotten to the core.
Amongst them, there were already several states in the south that were covered in flames.
This was also why Su Mu immediately thought of rebelling after learning about the initial situation.
This was because the Great Xia Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Coupled with the invasion of the Northern Barbarians, the West Mountain Camp was almost completely wiped out. As a general with no background, he would definitely be pushed out to be the scapegoat. Therefore, if he did not rebel, how could he live?
After the cheat came, Su Mu became even more determined to rebel.
However, after learning that this was actually a comprehensive martial arts world, Su Mu understood that it would not be so easy to rebel. It was not enough to have an army. He still had to have a certain amount of martial arts. Only then could he talk about rebellion.
However, with the system, Su Mu was confident that he could rebel as soon as possible.
Even if I was attacked by a group, with the system around, nothing would happen.
Moreover, as long as he could hide for a few more days, he would basically be stable.
He believed that the summoning system would continue to give him surprises.
Su Mu walked out of the mansion while thinking.
Outside the mansion stood a tall and strong man who was about thirty years old. When he saw Su Mu, he cupped his fists and said,"General Su, I'm Qiao Feng. I heard that the Northern Barbarians had invaded, so I came to help.”
Su Mu didn't put on airs. The other party was Qiao Feng's, and he had come to help defend the city with good intentions. He really didn't have to put on airs.
However, although Qiao Feng had come personally, Su Mu did not think that he could solve the current situation.
With Qiao Feng's martial arts realm, it was still possible for him to survive against an army of tens of thousands.
But what if they were counting on Qiao Feng to break the situation?
Obviously, this was impossible.
Therefore, Su Mu rejected the other party's good intentions.
"Chief Qiao, I appreciate your kindness, but there are tens of thousands of cavalry in the Northern Barbarians. No matter how good your martial arts are, you can't defeat them.”
Qiao Feng wasn't the kind of person who thought highly of himself. He knew that Su Mu's words were true. It was impossible for him to deal with tens of thousands of troops by himself.
However, if he could come and go freely in an army of tens of thousands of soldiers, he could still do it with his current cultivation.
Therefore, Qiao Feng thought for a moment and said,"This Qiao naturally understands that on the battlefield, thousands of soldiers and horses are fighting. This is not something that I can change. However, to capture the enemy, we must first capture the leader. If General Su is willing, this Qiao can capture the enemy's commander and use this to force the Northern Barbarians to withdraw from the territory of Great Xia.”
"I'm afraid that the Northern Barbarians have something to do with this invasion. Chief Qiao, do you understand?”Su Mu didn't say anything that was unclear, but just saying it was enough for Qiao Feng to understand.
As expected, Qiao Feng's expression changed as he vaguely understood.
However, Qiao Feng knew that he couldn't care less about these filthy matters. What did the matters in the court have to do with him?
However, he knew that once Dongyuan City fell, the people in the city would suffer. Therefore, for the innocent people in Dongyuan City, Qiao Feng was willing to go all out and help Su Mu defend Dongyuan City.
"General Su, there are some things I don't understand, but the people in the city are innocent.”
Qiao Feng's meaning was very clear. He didn't know about these things, but he knew that the people in the city were innocent. He couldn't let these people die under the butcher's knife of the alien races.
Su Mu didn't expect Qiao Feng to side with him. The other party was the leader of the World's Best Gang and was in the limelight. If he tried to rope him in, it would be counterproductive.
With Qiao Feng's abhorrent personality, if he knew that she was going to rebel, he would probably kill her instead.
Moreover, with the existence of the system, would he be afraid of not having experts?
Su Mu wasn't worried that he didn't have any experts, so he continued to talk about serious matters.
"Very good, Chief Qiao. The 50,000-strong army of the West Mountain Camp was almost wiped out. Among the 9,000-odd people who escaped in defeat, more than 1,000 of them showed signs of poisoning after investigation.”
Hearing this, Qiao Feng was stunned at first, then he muttered,"General Su, you mean…"
Su Mu had already expected Qiao Feng's reaction, and he voiced his doubts.
" I suspect that someone in the martial arts world of Great Xia is helping the Northern Barbarians for some unspeakable purpose. I don't know if it involves the upper echelons…but if there's an unknown faction in the city that's trying to sabotage us in the dark, it'll be a huge threat to us who have to defend the city.”
Su Mu paused for a moment before continuing," And I can't spare the energy to investigate, so…"
"I understand. Leave this to Beggar's Sect. As long as I, Qiao Feng, am still here, I will definitely protect the safety of this city.”Qiao Feng was a smart person, so he naturally understood Su Mu's meaning and immediately gave his guarantee.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Chief Qiao. I still have things to do, so I won't send you off.”With Qiao Feng's words, Su Mu was naturally at ease, so he left in a hurry.
One had to know that he was already worried that there would be problems in the army, so he had to rush over to check as soon as possible to prevent any accidents.
Qiao Feng knew that Su Mu was busy as the commander of the city, so he didn't say anything. Instead, he cupped his hands and said,"It's okay, General Su. You can go ahead!”
Su Mu didn't say anything and left with the black-armored army.
Su Mu knew that it was better to leave this matter to Qiao Feng than to send someone to investigate it himself. Not to mention that he didn't have the energy now, the key was that he didn't have the right manpower.
If the black-armored army were to investigate and were provoked by someone with ill intentions, the people in the city would probably be in a panic. Therefore, handing it over to a Jianghu person like Qiao Feng to handle was undoubtedly the best way at the moment.
To be honest, after Su Mu knew that this was the comprehensive martial arts world, he finally understood why there were signs of poisoning among the wounded soldiers. That was why he had made the connection and suspected it.
It was because of this that things made sense.
Otherwise, the 50,000 elite soldiers in the West Mountain Camp would have been wiped out. Moreover, they would not have been killed after a life-and-death battle with the enemy. Instead, they would have been easily charged in by the enemy. It would have been a one-sided massacre.
Because the soldiers were all poisoned, they were unable to fight the enemy.
Sigh, this Integrated Martial Arts World is really a mess. I still have to be more careful. Otherwise, I might be killed by some hidden arrow or strange poison.
While he was thinking about these trivial matters, Su Mu had already arrived with hundreds of black-armored cavalrymen and appeared in front of the gate of the garrison camp.
