Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1486 - 69: Inquiry and Caution, Inside Chen Cang, Returning in Glory and a Sudden Shock_2

Zhang Qinggu stopped abruptly and did not continue speaking.

Xia Hong smiled and replied, ”Even your Qingwu Village has been invited, they must have already invited you to join, right?”

Zhang Qinggu laughed awkwardly, then remembered something, bit his lip and walked to the wooden shelf on the left side of the house, fumbled around at the top of the shelf, and soon found a grayish-white letter.

The letter was evidently very old, its color was a bit faded, but the few lines of text were still barely legible.

The first thing that stood out were the three large characters ”Frost Ash Association”.

Below were three slogans and a passage:

[With Frost Resilience, Burn Chu Territory]

[Resist Extreme Taxation, Restore My Livelihood]

[Smash Household Registration, No Hierarchy Among People]

[If you are interested in joining, please leave your name on this letter and bury it under the Kohe tree ten miles east of the village. Upon confirmation, the assessment period begins]

”To be honest, Lord, five or six years ago, I did receive an invitation from the Frost Ash Association. During the day, someone dropped this letter into my house. My heart belongs to Chen Cang, so of course, I wouldn’t associate with such rebels.”

This old man is truly overly cautious!

Upon hearing Zhang Qinggu’s final assurance, Xia Hong was amused yet also appreciated the old man’s level of caution.

To survive to this age in a Slave Village is indeed no simple feat!

Thinking about it, it’s understandable. After all, this is Chen Cang, in Zhang Qinggu’s eyes, someone as strong as him has a high probability of being part of Chen Cang’s elite, and saying something wrong at this moment could very likely bring trouble.

Despite his admiration, since the other party did not believe him, Xia Hong naturally wouldn’t waste his breath trying to explain further, instead he lowered his head, looked at the Frost Ash Association membership letter in his hand, silently repeated the three slogans, and his eyes lit up slightly.

With Frost Resilience, Burn Chu Territory. Resist Extreme Taxation, Restore My Livelihood. Smash Household Registration, No Hierarchy Among People.

The organization’s charter and slogans are akin to its soul, much like the four words ”Great Xia Eternal” often spoken by Xia people. From these highly inciting slogans alone, it can be seen that this Frost Ash Association is not just a small skirmish but truly rebels against the Chu Family’s rule;

[If you are interested in joining, please leave your name on this letter and bury it under the Kohe tree ten miles east of the village. Upon confirmation, the assessment period begins]

Such caution in recruiting members, it’s no wonder that despite the extremely harsh suppression in Chen Cang, they can continue to grow. In a small Qingwu Village alone, there are tens of thousands of official members. How many members must there be in Lu River Valley, Yanling County, and even the whole Chen Cang Realm?

Xia Hong’s expression slightly shook and he continued to ask, ”Do you know who the Little Dragon Head of the Frost Ash Association is?”

This question was clearly outside Zhang Qinggu’s knowledge, he first shook his head but after thinking for a moment quickly remembered something and said:

”I remember that the Frost Ash Association caused a significant riot sixteen years ago in the southern Fengyang County, which reportedly even alerted Lord Landgrave. Rumor has it that the person leading was the Dragon Head of the Frost Ash, but this information was only hearsay.”

Chen Cang has five counties, Two Lakes, the number of cities similar to Cai Qiu, after excluding Towns is also seven.

The five counties are roughly arranged southeast to northwest: Heyang, Yanling, Xichuan, Fengyang, and then the one most centrally located, which is also where the Town is situated—the Donglin County;

The Two Lakes refer to Pingyang Lake and Yanze Lake, Pingyang Lake is at the junction of Fengyang and Xichuan Counties, for convenient governance, Chen Cang has established a Pingyang City here; Yanze Lake only has a small western segment belonging to Chen Cang, due to the influence of Blood Miasma, naturally Chen Cang dared not establish a city here, the seventh city of Chen Cang is established north of Fengyang, at the border area with Hezang Feudal Town, named Longxing City.
