Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

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

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

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

To give the simplest example, in this month, Lin Zhongtian encountered countless thieves, strongmen and bandits on the road, but the first time he personally killed someone was twenty-seven officers and soldiers from a certain county.

At that time, he was passing through a village and saw two or three people sitting on a field to rest. He was about to go over and ask for directions when he suddenly heard someone shouting in panic, "Officers and soldiers suppress bandits."

The people who were sitting on the ridge of the field to rest were suddenly frightened and fled in all directions.

Lin Zhongtian was still a little confused at the time. When officers and soldiers suppressed bandits, why did the people run away?

But the next second, he saw the arriving officers and soldiers grabbing a farmer who was running slowly and slashing the farmer's neck with a knife.

Only then did Lin Zhongtian realize that he was in trouble by killing a good person and taking credit for his crime.

Without any hesitation, the furious Lin Zhongtian rushed forward, grabbed the officer's neck, and twisted it hard to break it. Then he picked up the long knife that the other officer and soldier had dropped, and stabbed the other officer and soldier into the chest with his backhand.

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

It's a pity that they misjudged Lin Zhongtian's strength, thinking that he was an ordinary martial arts master who could kill someone by surrounding him with a military formation. However, they never imagined 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.

Without a weapon, he grabbed one from the hands of the officers and soldiers. When the weapon broke, he simply used his right hand to kill directly.

Anyway, after being strengthened by so much gray mist, the bone spurs on his right hand were already harder than gold and iron.

Seeing more and more fallen companions, the officers and soldiers surrounding Lin Zhongtian realized that the man in front of them was someone they could never afford to offend, so the officers and soldiers fled in all directions with frightened expressions.

But how could their speed be compared with Lin Zhongtian, and they were all caught up and killed by Lin Zhongtian.

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

Lin Zhongtian did not dare to pursue him because he found that on the field ridge outside the village, there were several ragged and hungry refugees staring dimly at the corpses of officers, soldiers and farmers at his feet...

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

Even though he has unparalleled military power, he can't handle the absurdity in front of him.

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

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

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

The escaping officers and soldiers saw his bone-like right hand and gave him the nickname "Bone Demon Hand".

Of course, at this time, Lin Zhongtian was still wanted by Baidao.

As for being hunted by Jianghu, temples, black and white together, that is another matter.

At that time, Lin Zhongtian came to a county town. The powerful and powerful families in the county were quite famous nearby, and the leader of the family at that time was a famous old man in the world.

This senior martial artist had heard of the name of the Bone Demon Hand and threatened to host a banquet in honor of this rookie martial artist.

Lin Zhongtian thought at first that this was the Hongmen Banquet organized by the other party and the government, so he ran to the banquet with great interest.

But who would have thought that this old man with a reputation as a chivalrous person actually wanted to make friends with him, a 'devil'. He called him brother-in-law as soon as they met, and it was clear from his words that he wanted to recruit him under his command.

After being rejected by Lin Zhongtian, this senior martial artist was not annoyed and changed the topic and wanted to ask him for a favor.

Lin Zhongtian asked curiously, and then he learned about the troubles of this martial artist.

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. However, at this time, someone suddenly appeared and called on the villagers from all over the country to rise up and resist rent.

The senior Jiang Hu recruited him just to get rid of this person with his help.

As long as Lin Zhongtian agrees to take action, he is willing to present fifty taels of gold as reward.

In addition, he also promised that he could spend money to smooth relations for Lin Zhongtian and get the government to withdraw the sea arrest documents against him.

Hearing this, Lin Zhongqiang smiled and lamented that the world is really black or white.

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

Lin Zhongtian still has a good impression of such people.

Just when he was about to show up and make friends with them, he suddenly discovered that several strange men in black came to his room at night and talked with them in secret throughout the night.

Lin Zhongtian made a temporary sparrow body and flew to the window sill to eavesdrop.

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

Currently, the Tongmenghui is recruiting martyrs from all over the country and plotting an uprising.

But the purpose of their uprising was not to rebel, but to disrupt the court's attention and keep the court occupied. 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 the day after he left, a piece of news spread throughout the world.

It is said that Fu Qingyun, the Bone Demon Hand, was dissatisfied with Senior Liu's attitude at the banquet, so he took action and massacred the entire Liu family.

In order to avenge the blood, the orphan of the Liu family who worshiped under the sword pavilion spent all his family wealth and hung a bonus of one thousand taels of gold in the Xuanjin Pavilion.

Countless martial arts masters chased Lin Zhongtian for this purpose, but no one could get Lin Zhongtian's head. Instead, the name of the Bone Demon Hand Fu Qingyun became more and more famous.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but hum.

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

Maybe they were the ones who massacred the entire Liu family, or they might have been the rebel army they conspired to form.

Lin Zhongtian was very dissatisfied that the alliance would frame the crime on him, but he was too lazy to go back and trouble the other party. Anyway, these people would come to the capital to rob the execution site in a short time.

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

At that time, Lin Zhongtian will take action again and settle the general ledger with them...

Lin Zhongtian was thinking this while throwing a few taels of silver towards the guards at the city gate.

When the city gate guard saw that Lin Zhongtian was handsome, fair-skinned, and the clothes and accessories on his body were all valuable, and his attitude towards the city guards was extremely arrogant, as if he were treating his own servants, he thought that he was from a noble family in the capital. The young master, without even daring to ask a question, fawningly welcomed him into the capital.

Entering the capital, Lin Zhongtian sighed quietly as he looked at the seemingly prosperous streets in front of him.

He never expected that he, a 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 on the verge of collapse...

Lin Zhongtian sighed in his heart, glanced left and right, locked on a teahouse and walked over.
