Chapter 184: Chapter 113: Yellow Mountain County, White Lotus Stockade!_2
 

But even so, it was enough to leave the prefectures in the south feeling quite frazzled.

Luo Mountain Prefecture was also one of the prefectures in the Da Feng Dynasty’s south where a locust plague had broken out.

Of course, located at the edge of Luo Mountain Prefecture.

Huai Shui County, as one of the eight districts within Luo Mountain Prefecture, did not have this concern.

…

Huai Shui County, Qingshi County City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.

Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resided.

At this moment, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family.

Was calmly seated in the primary seat, slowly flipping through a document in his hand.

Ever since the Luo Family had completely unified Huai Shui County.

The county city of Huai Shui County had also been moved to this side of Qingshi City.

Although the population of Qingshi City was still not as large as the most populous city in Huai Shui County.

The prosperity within Qingshi City was definitely the highest in Huai Shui County.

After all, the Luo Family was seated here.

Additionally, within Qingshi City, there was no shortage of food; one could eat and build freely.

The governance in Qingshi City was strict and clear.

The officials appointed by the Luo Family were also relatively incorruptible.

Under these circumstances, Qingshi City had become the city with the highest happiness index within Huai Shui County.

Currently, the population was small, so there were no major issues.

But as time went on, some of the families with a bit of strength in Huai Shui County would inevitably flock to Qingshi City.

Within two or three years, Qingshi City would surely become the largest in area, with the highest population and highest happiness levels in Huai Shui County.

…

“Patriarch.”

Following that, outside the room where Luo Ping was located,

a servant of the Luo Family hurriedly rushed into the room.

The tranquility inside the room was suddenly disrupted.

“What is it?”

Bowing slightly and lowering his head, the servant then spoke, “Patriarch, three days ago the bandits from Yellow Mountain County started pouring incessantly into our Huai Shui County.”

“Right now, right now…”

In the middle of speaking, the servant couldn’t help but start to stutter.

“What about right now?”

Luo Ping pressed for an answer.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, the servant said in a low voice, “Right now, the bandits from Yellow Mountain County have already slaughtered over a dozen villages, and even two towns have been captured…”

As these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat eerie.

Luo Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, and within those narrowed eyes, a cold glint flashed by.

And the Luo Family servant, still bending at the waist and lowering his head,

now barely dared to take a full breath.

…

A moment later, that servant of the Luo Family departed.

Now, the room was left with only Luo Ping.

“Yellow Mountain County?”

Luo Ping murmured in a low voice.

After a breath, various pieces of information about Yellow Mountain County emerged in his mind.

In the vicinity of Huai Shui County, there were three districts.

The first was Shang Heng District.

This Shang Heng District was weaker in strength, even less so than Huai Shui County, so it was not a concern.

The second was Qingqu County.

This Qingqu County was powerful, considered the strongest among the four districts in terms of overall strength.

Even among the eight districts of the entire Luo Mountain Prefecture, it could be ranked second.

Therefore, Qingqu County had always been a major focus of attention for Luo Ping, the Patriarch of the Luo Family.

As for the last, Yellow Mountain County…

This Yellow Mountain County occupied the largest area among the four districts.

In Yellow Mountain County, there were numerous deep mountains and old forests.

The number of civilians was also the highest.

But likewise, Yellow Mountain County was also the most chaotic among the four districts, or even within the entire Luo Mountain Prefecture.

Inside Yellow Mountain County, countless bandit forces were hidden in those deep mountains.

Whether it was Skin Refinement, Bone Refinement, or even those above Bone Refinement in the Organ Refinement Realm, all could be found in Yellow Mountain County.

And the reason why Yellow Mountain County had fallen to its current state,

aside from the inaction on the part of Luo Mountain Prefecture, was also largely because countless ambitious individuals had poured into the county,

attempting to rise with the bandit forces, unify the entire Yellow Mountain County,

and then, using this as a base,

gradually expand in all directions.

The reason the bandit forces within Yellow Mountain County chose to attack Huai Shui County this time was probably because these bandits felt that the Luo Family had just finished unifying Huai Shui County and had not yet fully controlled the entire territory, so they chose to attack.

While profiting from the chaos, they could continue to plunder the population within Huai Shui County.

“I had thought that Qingqu County might be the first to take action; unexpectedly…”

“It turns out to be Yellow Mountain County making the first move.”

“This is truly beyond my expectations!”

After murmuring to himself, Luo Ping then summoned someone and gave some instructions,

before lowering his head to silently begin dealing with the affairs of Huai Shui County.

…

Yellow Mountain County just happened to be located near Huai Shui County.

The bandit forces inside Yellow Mountain County were extremely rampant.

But among the bandits, there were also distinctions.

Among them, Blood Wolf Stronghold was an absolute leader within Yellow Mountain County’s bandit forces.

Its comprehensive strength was enough to easily crush other bandit forces.

As for why Blood Wolf Stronghold, with such strength, had not yet moved against other bandit forces to unify Yellow Mountain County,

nobody knew.

If Blood Wolf Stronghold was the absolute leader among the bandit forces in Yellow Mountain County,

then Grey Horse Stronghold was the second in command.

Grey Horse Stronghold was mainly composed of horse-thieves.
