"Trouble, trouble, trouble." A wailing sound erupted from Wu Gen's house in Shixing Village. The man was holding his head, sighing and fighting with an ant on the table in front of him.
Half a month has passed since the attack on the manor. After killing the leader, the rest of the matter became much simpler. With Xue Xin and Ha Bao holding on, it didn't take long for the remaining resistance to be completely suppressed.
An inventory after the incident showed that despite the use of smoke and the sneak attack at night, five villagers were still killed here and several others were injured. However, after cleaning up this harvest, these people were overjoyed.
In this manor, there are more than 30,000 kilograms of grain hidden, as well as a lot of clothing, weapons, wine, etc. Obviously, this is a warehouse of the Mo Zhi family.
In addition, dozens of horses were seized and more than fifty humans who were robbed here were rescued. These people have shackles on their bodies, and each shackle is equipped with a method. Even if they have cultivation skills, they can't use it at all.
In addition to those who ran away and died, the opponents also captured as many as twenty people. When facing these prisoners, Ha Bao and Xue Xin had some disputes. Xue Xin wanted to stay here, while Ha Bao wanted to take him back to Shixing Village. After all, people in the village keep dying, and if they are not replenished, there may not even be anyone left in the end.
In the end, Wu Gen agreed with Ha Bao and agreed to take in these people, but asked Ha Bao to take good care of them to avoid leaking the information.
After Hasan arrived with the old and weak in the village, the group almost moved the entire manor. The sorrow of the dead could not conceal the joy of suddenly getting so many trophies.
But not long after returning to the village, the conflict between the herdsmen and the human race emerged. They were originally two hostile races, but now they were forcefully placed together. All kinds of conflicts arose, frictions were constant, and some trivial matters had to be settled by Wu Genlai's final decision.
In fact, this kind of difference between races is not impossible to solve. For example, through intermarriage and exchanges of several generations, or the integration of institutions, or cultural integration, the gap between each other can also be gradually eliminated.
But for Wu Gen, who had the time and energy to do these things, he could only use simple and crude force to persuade him. But he also knew that this method could not last long, and he would have to leave sooner or later. It was possible that the front foot would be beaten into a dog by the back foot as soon as he left. This was contrary to his original intention of establishing a stronghold to solidify his retreat.
In desperation, Wu Gen had no choice but to follow Xue Xin's suggestion and prepare to find another stronghold to house these human beings who were kidnapped to Kuntian Continent.
On this day, on the road lined with willow trees, two riders were galloping along, riding fast. Wu Gen and Yang Zheng were sitting on their horses, with tails attached behind them. They looked no different from ordinary shepherds.
Wu Gen resented this tail very much, and he really didn't want to put it on his body if Yang Zheng hadn't insisted. The two of them went to the An Si family's territory to meet closely with An Siyuan to discuss the resettlement of the human race.
"The last time we robbed, we threw away the family emblems of both families." Wu Gen asked while riding his horse.
"Throw it away. Put it in an inconspicuous place outside the manor. The ones that were thrown away belong to the Qi family and the An Si family." Yang Zheng stretched out his hand and took out three clan emblems. There were patterns of the moon, green pine and cicada on them. These three They are the family emblems of the Qi family, Baili family and Ansi family respectively.
Wu Gen nodded. The last time he robbed the manor, before leaving, Wu Gen asked Yang Zheng to randomly throw away the family emblems of the two families to confuse the Mo Zhi family. The next time they do this kind of business, throwing away other people's goods is just to arouse the Mo Zhi family's suspicion of other families.
"Let's fight against the Mo Zhi family on behalf of these three families. They can't hide behind and watch the fun." Wu Gen said lightly, "Whoever takes advantage of them will be sure."
When we arrived at the meeting point, we found that this was a village under the jurisdiction of the Ansi family, with twenty or thirty households in it. This kind of village is very common in Kuntianzhou. Due to the vast land and sparse population, many villages are not large in scale.
Go straight to a lake in the north of the village. There are people waiting here. Seeing Wu Gen coming, he quickly took the two horses away and brought them to a pavilion by the lake.
An Siyuan was playing the piano here, and behind him were two beautiful maids burning incense and serving tea. Seeing Wu Gen's arrival, An Siyuan pushed the piano in his hand, stood up and said with a big smile: "You two are fine, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Wu Gen walked into the pavilion, looked around, and said with a smile: "Master An Si is so elegant that he actually imitated that poet to play the piano and do those sunny things."
"No, no, I have to say that the human race is a hundred times better than the shepherds in the field of music, chess, poetry and books. Over the years, the herdsman's hairpin family has also practiced this method, and the younger brother is just arty and is the best. If not, It's not even easy to get in through other people's doors." An Siyuan waved his hand mockingly and pointed to a painted boat by the lake, "Why don't you get on the boat and have a heartfelt drink and chant."
"As long as you have wine." Wu Gen swallowed, "Please."
The three of them boarded the ship, accompanied by the two maids. The boatman tapped his pennies lightly, and the boat slowly headed towards the lake.
"Come, try my An Si's green wave wine. Although it's not famous, it tastes pretty good." An Siyuan poured a glass of wine for Wu Gen and Yang Zheng each, and motioned to Wu Gen and others. Before the two of them could raise their glasses, they drank it first.
Wu Gen and Yang Zheng smiled knowingly, raised their glasses and drank without hesitation. The three of them drank each other's glasses, and in the blink of an eye a bottle of wine was downed.
"I wonder why you two are looking for me this time." After drinking for three rounds, An Siyuan's face turned red and he asked.
"According to our last appointment, we wanted to find a quiet place in the An Si family's territory and prepare to place some people there." Wu Gen said bluntly. When talking to a smart man like An Siyuan, there is no need to hide it.
"Oh." An Siyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "It seems that it was you who robbed the Heita family last time."
Wu Gen looked at the two maids behind him and said nothing.
An Siyuan laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Everyone here is the confidant of the An Si family. There is no need to worry about leaking secrets."
Wu Gen withdrew after hearing this and leaned on the railing beside the boat. He bent one leg and looked carefree, "Yes, we did what happened last time, so we asked you to find a place." Peaceful place.”
An Siyuan smiled and shook his head, pouring himself another glass, "This matter is a bit big. It is said that traces of my An Si family and Qi family were found at the scene, and the Heita family even sent people to inquire. But where? When someone does this kind of thing, he will deliberately leave his family emblem behind. A fool would not do this, so I just asked a few questions and left."
Taking a sip of wine, An Siyuan raised his head and looked more serious, "This kind of thing is too risky, and I'm afraid the An Si family can't afford it. He is from the Heita family, and the incident happened with the Mo Zhi family. The territory is difficult for both families to deal with. Once discovered, I, the Ansi family, may no longer be able to gain a foothold on Zuoheng Road."
Wu Gen smiled slightly and patted his leg gently, "In business, there is no risk. It's just a matter of profit. If the profit is big, even my own father will sell it. Let's do this, I'll help you with the disability Mo Zhijia, please provide me with a land."
"It's such a big statement to cripple Mo's family, just the two of you?" An Siyuan raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Wu Gen teasingly.
"That's right, just the two of us." Wu Gen stared at the other party.
After a long time, An Siyuan flicked his long sleeves and sat upright, "Okay, I'm optimistic about you, so I might as well do it in the long term. But it's not just the Mozhi family, but also the Heita family that needs to add money. Otherwise, this business will be too risky. ,I can not eat."
"Haha." Wu Gen smiled and said, "You have a big appetite. You actually want to swallow the entire Zuoheng Road. Yes, I promise you, but if you ask for too much, you have to pay more. I want a horse, I want it. I want food, weapons, and most importantly, I want a boat."
"Ship?" An Siyuan looked stunned and squinted at Wu Gen, "It seems that you have a bigger appetite, but I underestimated you. You have to eat one bite at a time, so I will find a shelter for you first, and the rest Let’s take our time. In the words of your human race, if you take too big a step, you will easily lose your temper.”
Now that the three of them had reached an agreement, the atmosphere instantly returned to harmony. They took out the map and discussed in detail where to place the human race. The place couldn't be too far from Shixing Village, but it also had to be hidden. After several discussions, we finally settled on a place called Leishan.
It is not far from Shixing Village and Hengmen Port. Due to the barren land, high mountains and steep roads, and the gathering of ferocious beasts, very few people come here. As a result, all supplies here would have to be provided by An Sijia, which was regarded as a shackle that An Siyuan put on Wu Gen, lest it become too difficult to control the situation as time went on.
As for the current most direct enemy, it is still the Mo Zhi family. An Siyuan provided the two with some details about the Mo Zhi family, and there was an inconspicuous piece of news that interested Wu Gen.
It turns out that there is an ancestor of the Mozhi family. Because he practiced the method of extracting too much, he became insane and could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. He was imprisoned in Jinfu City, the headquarters of the Mozhi family.
When it comes to the method of extracting and swallowing, both Wu Gen and Yang Zheng are a little curious about what is going on with this method that makes people fearful, and why it brings about bad luck.
An Siyuan smiled slightly, "The method of extracting and devouring is the innate magical power of the shepherd, but just like your human cultivation, it also needs to be stimulated by secret methods to awaken. In fact, this method can not only be used on people, but also on spiritual beasts and spiritual plants. Of course, using people as medicine is the fastest way, which is why larger families raise more people."
After standing up, An Siyuan held his hand on the railing and looked at Wu Gen teasingly, "Actually, the herdsman does not recognize that he and the human race are the same race from the bottom of his heart.
Because we believe that we are the descendants of God, and the various human races are the food created by God for shepherds, the sheep raised in pens, and the method of extracting and devouring comes from this. However, the sheep gradually grew stronger and could rival its owner, which God did not expect at the beginning.
The method of extracting and swallowing is not perfect. If too many people are used as medicine, it will harm the harmony of the world. Improper use can easily bring bad luck, so it is also very controversial among the shepherds. In order to reduce the damage caused by the Devouring Method, every large family has devised different methods to offset the disadvantages of this method.
For example, there are Heavenly Furnace Techniques, Soul Purification Techniques, Separation Techniques, etc., but these techniques are all controlled by major families, and they are also supplemented by some formations and secret medicines, which are all expensive and ordinary shepherds simply cannot afford them. . In this way, the strong will always be strong, and the descendants of the big family will improve rapidly and become stronger and stronger.
Other families couldn't steal people, and they didn't have secret methods to help them, so they could only use spiritual plants and spiritual beasts as medicine. If the current situation prevails, these small families will not be able to stand up at all. "
Yang Zheng was born in the royal family, so he has a deep understanding of this. Too many resources are concentrated in the hands of some people. As long as these people don't make big mistakes, even if they pile up gold, they can still produce some outstanding students.
Such a little bit of branching out, controlling more resources, but in the end no one can touch it. This is where the so-called power comes from. Unless there are major changes, it is difficult for ordinary people to shake this order.
"Heavenly Furnace Technique, I heard a friend say that this method is very beneficial to the physical body." Wu Gen practiced this method himself. Although the progress was not fast, the important thing was to be solid.
"Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Furnace Technique?" An Siyuan was a little surprised, and after thinking for a while he said: "The Heavenly Furnace Body Forging Technique flows out from the Dengtian Palace, and it's not unusual for big families to have it. This method is very important. The Water Mill Kung Fu is not like other vigorous methods and is indeed beneficial to the human body. There are rumors that there is a second-level method of Tianlu method in the Dengtian Temple, which can be used to refine the soul, but no one has seen it."
Wu Gen's mind was slightly disturbed. He had been thinking about reshaping the soul villain, but this method was unlikely to be useful. It's just that even the major families can't get it, so they can only rely on chance.
After the three people discussed it, Wu Gen and Yang Zheng returned and started to start the migration of the human race in Shixing Village.
