Wu Gen sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery of Hengmen Port with great interest. This is the first time he has truly come to Hengmen Port, not looking at it from a distance, not passing by, but actually setting foot.
Hengmen Port is very large, almost like a city, and the perimeter is closely guarded by soldiers. As a very important source of wealth for the Hulan family, this seaport is naturally very tightly guarded, making it difficult to get in or out.
This is why Wu Gen tried every means to get involved in the supply of food at the port. With this reason, travel will be more convenient.
The car Wu Gen took this time belonged to An Sijia, and the badge he wore when entering the port also belonged to An Sijia. After some disguise, he entered the port safely.
Walking on the wide bluestone road, Wu Gen raised the curtains.
Hengmen Port is well planned and divided into different areas according to different functions. There are special berths for loading and unloading cargo, special berths for transporting slaves, and berths for marine animals to dock. The warehouses, carriage shops, wine shops, and residential areas on the shore are all relatively separated, like patches of vegetables.
"Master, why do you come here to meet An Sijia? Wouldn't it be more convenient outside?" Ha Ying, who was driving the car, turned around and asked in a low voice,
Wu Gen fiddled with the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Ha Ying, look who is the biggest in this port."
Ha Ying thought for a while, scratched his head and said, "It should be the Hulan family."
"Yes." Wu Gen opened the folding fan with a bang, and fanned it a few times in a pretentious manner, "Because this is the territory of the Hulan family, those small families cannot get in, so it is relatively safe.
Ha Ying, do you have any idea of buying a house here so that you can marry a good wife in the future? I'm suing you, but now you don't
If you buy a better house, no matchmaker will come to your door. "
Ha Ying's face turned red and his neck stiffened, "Zhai Leader, I don't want to. If possible, I would like to seize Heita's house for my own use."
Wu Gen closed the folding fan, knocked on the window lattice briskly, and laughed loudly: "Yes, if you are ambitious, you should practice martial arts well from now on. The things you get with your own skills are the most delicious."
According to the map given by Yang Zheng, the carriage stopped at a restaurant called Shuiyunjian. This restaurant encloses a large area of land, and there are many elegant rooms built in an orderly manner according to the terrain. There are bamboo forests, rockery, etc. as barriers between each private room, which makes it very private.
Those who can get here are either rich or noble, so they attach great importance to privacy. Here, as long as you have money, you can get all kinds of enjoyment. Even foreign sailors can catch a glimpse of the beauty of the shepherd girl.
Under the guidance of the two girls, Wu Gen arrived at a private room close to the woods. As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted by an antique screen with landscapes and cranes carved on it. Walking through the screen, the bead curtain is like silk, and the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard.
Wu Gen touched the tailbone at his waist and followed the girl into the main hall. An Siyuan was sitting leisurely behind the table, lying on his side, tapping his knee rhythmically with one hand. A beautiful dancer, with her fair belly exposed, dancing her slender tail, was counting beside her. Dancing gracefully to the accompaniment of people.
"An Siyuan, you are in great spirits. It seems that today's visit was worthwhile to enjoy such a slow and gentle dance." Wu Gen clapped his hands and said jokingly.
An Siyuan looked up and saw Wu Gen, and couldn't help but be startled, "Wu Gen, why are you?"
, isn’t it Yang Zheng? "
Wu Gen calmly sat down at the table, poured himself a glass of wine from the jade pot on the table, drank it in one gulp, smacked his lips, and nodded repeatedly, "You really get what you pay for, this wine is really good. It seems like An Si The young master doesn’t welcome me, but he’s a bit hot-faced and clings to someone’s cold butt.” After saying that, he threw the pot to Ha Ying who was standing behind him, “It’s free wine, and if you don’t drink it, it’s free.”
Ha Ying hurriedly took it, glanced at An Siyuan coldly, and drank several gulps. Because Ling Yun Baqi had close contact with Wu Gen on weekdays, he was also infected with his bad temper, which was good wine.
An Siyuan frowned, waved his hand, and the maids in the room respectfully left, leaving only three people present.
"Wu Gen, these are arranged for Yang Zheng. You know, he likes this arrangement." With a smile on his lips, An Siyuan took out another bottle of wine and poured a glass for Wu Gen. "I didn't know you were here in person this time.
But there's something urgent. Between us, if there is anything to say, just say it, there is no need to be so pretentious. "
Wu Gen put his head on the table, rolled his eyelids and looked at An Siyuan across from him, "Mr. An Si, how much does this head of Wu Gen cost?"
An Siyuan, who was pouring himself a drink, was startled, his hand hung in the air, and the smile on his face stopped, "Wu Gen, what does this mean?"
Wu Gen chuckled, grabbed a well-made pastry from the table, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "How much did Mr. Ansi get for selling me to the Heita family this time? But you are disappointed. , we came back alive."
An Siyuan's face showed displeasure, "Wu Gen, it's a joke, but some jokes shouldn't be taken too far. Why don't I
When did I betray you to the Heita family? "
Wu Gen sat up, drank the wine in front of him again, and looked at the other party with a half-smile, "Mr. An Si is very calm, please remind us that we escaped from Liangxi Village with our lives."
An Siyuan widened his eyes, looked around, and whispered: "Did you do what happened in Liangxi Village? I only heard that Heita Songhan died, and the Heita family is vigorously pursuing the murderer. Is it possible? You killed the adult."
"Young Master An Si is scared, you can go to Heita's house and report me again." Wu Genpi said with a smile: "I did kill Heita Songhan, but this should be thanks to you."
"Wu Gen, what do you mean? Since I came in today, I have been acting strangely. Why do you think it was me who reported you to the Heita family? There is some misunderstanding here." An Siyuan was a little unhappy, and said The wine jug is placed on the table.
Wu Gen stared at the other person's eyes for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "It seems that I have to help Mr. An Si recall the whole thing." After saying that, Wu Gen explained how to get the information about the An Si family and how to get there. After arriving at Liangxi Village, how they were chased by the Heita family, and how they killed Heita Songhan, he recounted it all over again.
After listening to Wu Gen's words, An Siyuan stepped back and looked Wu Gen up and down as if he were looking at a monster, "You are so brave that you dare to touch the forbidden palace of the Black Tower family. The key is that you still Heita Songhan was killed. This, this, this tells me what to say. I don’t know whether to admire you or scold you for being reckless.
However, there is one thing I want to explain. I have never sent any information about Liangxi Village to Yang Zheng, because I don’t want you to touch this, as it will attract gangsters.
Tajia’s attention.
And, let me tell you, the Heita family's revenge will come soon. They have ordered all the families on Zuoheng Road to kill you without mercy if they encounter you. The Heita family will have a heavy reward. If I was the one who did this, I would not have ambushed a large number of soldiers here to take credit for your capture. "
Wu Gen blinked, "You really didn't do it."
"Indeed not."
"Okay." Wu Gen grabbed both of An Siyuan's hands, "I wrongly blamed Brother An Si just now, and I'm here to apologize to you."
"It doesn't matter, just let's talk it over." When a man grabbed his hand, An Siyuan felt goosebumps all over his body, "No, you are younger than me, how can you have the nerve to call me brother?" "
Wu Gen pretended to be indifferent, "These are just small details. Now that we've talked about it, let me ask Brother Ansi to help me find out who is setting me up."
An Siyuan took a lot of effort to pull his hand out, "Based on what you said, it's impossible to tell who it is. Including my An Si family, everyone has the motive to attack, but the more suspected ones are the Mo Zhi family and Baili Family. Of course this is my wild guess, you can make your own judgment."
Wu Gen nodded, "Forget it, I'll go investigate on my own. One thing I want to ask you is, if I attack the Heita family, what do you think the chances of winning are. If the Heita family falls, what can your Ansi family do?" Can’t take over.”
When An Siyuan heard this, he was frightened and accidentally knocked over the wine glass in front of him. He looked at Wu Gen speechlessly, "Do you know how many soldiers and horses the Heita family has? I have ten thousand taels." More than a thousand people, plus the eighteen vassal families on Zuoheng Road, can also pull out ten thousand people.
Many people, that’s 30,000 people.
I don’t know who gave you the courage to attack the Heita family. With this strength, who would dare to use the worst methods to deal with you.
besides,
Even if you take down the Heita family, I, the Ansi family, can't take over. It's simple, I don't have that strength. Did you know that the factor that affects the strength of each family is not the high-end combat power with advanced cultivation, nor the ordinary soldiers, but the middle layer, that is, the people with the cultivation of the third and fourth realms.
The reason why families that use the method of extracting and devouring are generally stronger is because the method of extracting and devouring can be practiced quickly, and a group of soldiers of the third and fourth realms can be created in a short period of time. Under the same conditions, other families may take twice as long to cultivate such a person.
Slowly step by step, these families that use the method of extracting and devouring will, over time, become far more powerful than other families. Therefore, even though they knew that there were certain hidden dangers in Cui Yan, various families still flocked to it. People like Baili's family and Qi's family are getting weaker and weaker, and they can only huddle together for warmth. "
After finishing the wine in the glass in one breath and calming down, An Siyuan sighed, "Wu Gen, I know you want the shepherds to give up the method of devouring, but every family faces the pressure of survival, who else?" I dare to make this decision easily. Only a young master like me, with the support of my family, can give up the method of extracting and devouring, so as not to leave any future troubles."
Keeping turning the wine glass in his hand, Wu Gen pondered for a long time and sighed, "Just do it step by step, there will always be a way." As he said that, his face turned cold, "No matter what, I want the Heita family.
Do it first, otherwise the brothers will die in vain. "
"Then mess with him, harass him, weaken him bit by bit, and weaken his control over the various small families. Seeing that there is an opportunity, each small family will definitely use some means overtly or covertly. By then, the Heita family will be tired In order to cope with it, we will have more room for maneuver, what do you think." Ellsworth suggested seriously.
Wu Gen thought for a while, then picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, brother, I respect brother An."
"I'm much older than you." Ellsworth complained quite a lot about this older brother.
"It doesn't matter." Wu Gen picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
