"Master of the village." In Wu Gen's house, Ha Bao rushed up excitedly as soon as he entered the house and knelt down on one knee, "It's good that you're okay. I suddenly heard the news that you were killed, so I hurried to Liangxi Village, thinking Then he snatched the body back.
I didn't want to go there until I found out that the other party was heavily guarded and couldn't sneak in. Later, after searching around, they found two broken helmets, which were worn by Ling Yun's eight riders, and they took them back. After waiting for a few days, seeing that there was no other way, I hurried back.
Village leader, from now on, just leave these things to the younger ones. You, a rich man, must not take any risks again. Shixing Village cannot live without you. If you leave, the village will disperse sooner or later. "
As he said that, he grabbed Wu Gen's arm and choked up. There were two helmets tied around his waist. His body was dusty and there were wounds in many places. It was obvious that this journey was not easy.
Wu Gen's face twitched. Never before had a grown man been so...so close to him. Normally, you only have to catch others, but today it was the other way around.
However, the fact that Ha Bao had such a heart made Wu Gen deeply moved. He quickly helped him up, patted his shoulders heavily with both hands, and said with a sigh on his face, "Ha Bao, thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work, Ha Bao." With these brothers here, why should I, Shixing Village, be worried? You can go down and rest for the time being, as I will be counting on you for many things in the future."
As he spoke, he winked at Hasan and quickly helped the big man down who was communicating with tears.
Yang Zheng watched all this without saying a word, his eyes a little strange. It is said that Wu Gen has been shaking hands and patting people on the shoulder a lot these days, and he seems to be a handshake monster and a shoulder patter.
However, this small gesture is useful. In this environment where the courtesy of yielding is valued and physical contact is frowned upon unless close relatives, Wu Gen's move has won a lot of people's hearts. In the view of Yang Zheng, who was born in the royal family, this is similar to the practice of holding hair and spitting food.
Under the vigorous management of Wu Gen and Yang Zheng, Shixing Village quickly recovered from the turmoil caused by Hada's death. In order for all future affairs to go smoothly, Wu Gen even racked his brains, pulled out countless hairs, and set some rough rules for Shixing Village to clarify the division of labor among everyone.
Hasan is responsible for overall planning and intelligence. Ha Bao was responsible for the garrison and assisted Xue Xin in training his troops. After all, Xue Xin stayed in Lingyun Village most of the time, so Shixing Village had to let Ha Bao worry more. As for Hachuan, for the sake of Hashan, he simply drove him to the back mountain and led the old and weak in the village to farm with Zhong Lei.
After more than three months of renovation, several strongholds have had a completely new look, and the new Lingyun Eight Cavalry are also being formed. After several tests by Wu Gen, Zhang Wuyang was found to be reliable, so Wu Gen included him in the Eight Cavalry and was also responsible for recruiting the human tribes from the two villages.
Wu Gen's cultivation also made great progress. After chopping 9,999 wooden blocks, tirelessly killing nearly a thousand wild beasts, and saving half a year's worth of firewood and more than a year's worth of meat for his men, he finally got something. What I learned.
Now with one strike of the sword, three sword qi can be cut out, and each sword qi goes straight to the opponent's weak point. Of course, this is just a relatively ordinary opponent. After all, this kind of sword technique places great emphasis on eyesight and requires instant judgment of the opponent's weaknesses and vital points.
This key point does not only refer to the opponent's cultivation flaws, but more importantly, to be able to see the operating rules of the opponent's Qi. Cutting off its nodes and destroying its veins with a knife can naturally play the role of making a huge difference.
For example, whether you are a martial artist or a qigong practitioner, fighting requires ventilation. No matter who you are, it is impossible to fight to the end in one breath. If Wu Gen can seize the opportunity when the opponent's old energy is about to expire and the new energy has not yet arisen, and suddenly strikes, it will definitely disrupt the opponent's steps. Even if he cannot win with one blow, he will at least suppress the opponent's combat power.
In addition to sword skills, Bengquan has also improved. Now a punch seems to be less fierce, but it is much more lethal.
Qin Jian's Wind and Thunder Boxing Technique is indeed unique. The rapid oscillations formed when punching are inconspicuous at first sight, but are actually extremely destructive.
Just like a table, it may be fine if a strong man punches it, but if a child holds it and shakes it, nothing can be seen at one time, and the table will fall apart after a thousand times.
Wind and Thunder Fist condenses these thousands of vibrations into one punch, and the damage caused can be described as huge. Wu Gen once tried it. He punched a small pond. There were only fine ripples on the water surface, and there was nothing surprising about it. But after the ripples disappeared, countless fish were caught in the water, all with damaged internal organs.
Wu Gen passed on these sword skills and boxing skills to Ling Yun Baqi without reservation. After all, the original intention of Baqi's creation was to act as a personal guard. Now that they are strong, when they encounter a powerful enemy, they don't need Wu Gen to protect them, and Wu Gen can fight against the enemy without any worries.
In order to better gather strength, Wu Gen gathered the young and strong men from several strongholds in Shixing Village and formally formed the Fearless Army. The name comes from the homophony of tailless thief.
When the army was formed, even Wu Gen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there were more than 500 soldiers. These were all standing soldiers who were separated from production.
With such a force, Wu Gen finally had the confidence to compete with Baili and other families.
Although things are looking good inside, the trees want to be quiet but the wind is not stopping, but the wind is roaring outside.
The first one to bear the brunt was the Baili family. With Bailisu's disappearance, there was a commotion in the family. Although it was not known who was responsible, the spearhead was still aimed at the Fearless Army.
Therefore, the Baili family sent many people to search for the whereabouts of Wu Gen and others, and even did not hesitate to confront An Sijia. At the same time, the number of people from the Heita family gradually increased, and under the leadership of the Baili family, they went around to kill the fearless army. Although the stronghold was not damaged, the connection between them was severed.
For Wu Gen, the situation has actually been the most difficult period since arriving in Kuntianzhou. Many activities have been curtailed, and internal and external operations have also been affected. Originally, he wanted to ask An Sijia to put pressure on Baili family, but when he saw the Heita family arriving, An Sijia shrank as usual.
On this day, Wu Gen quietly said goodbye to Yang Zheng, and went to Gaoyuan City, the main city of the Heita family, in disguise, preparing to wait for an opportunity to make some noise, disrupt the current situation, divert the Heita family's attention, and force them to shrink their troops.
Although Yang Zheng felt that the trip was extremely risky, Wu Gen decided to go after careful consideration. The situation can no longer be allowed to deteriorate like this. Only by choosing an opportunity to open a new front can the pressure on several strongholds be relieved. As time went on, Wu Gen was worried that he would not be able to feed his men, so he had to take risks.
Gaoyuan City is located inland, more than 800 miles away from Hengmen Port. Along the way, Wu Gen worked alone, traveling day and night, avoiding various checkpoints, and quietly sneaked into Gaoyuan City disguised as a shepherd.
As the main city of a family with ten thousand households, this place is definitely not comparable to Mo Zhi and other families. Both the city regulations and the population are much larger. The streets are crowded with cars and horses, and people of all colors are walking among them.
Here, there are some buildings that clearly have the style of the human race, such as the nail-head phosphorus and the flying pavilion flowing pill, which made Wu Gen return to Beizhou in a trance. These are very different from the shepherd's original Wubao style.
War is the greatest destroyer and the best messenger. Having been at war with the divine religion for many years, some of the habits of the human race have unknowingly affected the shepherds.
Walking on the street, Wu Gen discovered that he could occasionally see human beings on the street. These people all wear a collar around their necks with patterns engraved on it, and there are also words tattooed on their hands. The shepherds seemed to turn a blind eye to these human races, and did not swarm them like wolves seeing sheep like in other places.
However, these people all looked a little sluggish and looked like they were low on energy and blood. Upon inquiring, I found out that these people were raised by noble shepherds. The words on their collars and hands represented which family they belonged to.
Wu Gen did not dare to linger too much on the street, lest he expose his flaws. After asking about the location of Heita's house, Wu Gen headed to the north of the city. Just like the human race, the houses of the shepherds also faced south, and the north was often where dignitaries lived. Although the shepherds did not have any theory of the three grades, everyone was still consciously divided into three, six or nine grades.
When he arrived in the north of the city, Wu Gen found a relatively remote inn to stay. The inn is located in a deep alley, with high walls on both sides. Occasionally, there will be naked cars and horses going back and forth in the alley.
Wu Gen booked a private room in the back on the second floor. There was a large balcony in the living room on the south, where he could overlook the city.
When the waiter who brought Wu Gen up went out, he repeatedly praised Wu Gen for his good taste. From this room, you can see the singing and dancing of Huajianfang next door, which is the most famous ecclesiastical studio in Gaoyuan City.
Most of the carriages going back and forth in the alley are going to Huajianfang. At the end of the conversation, the guy mysteriously revealed the news.
The leader of Huajianfang, or the boss, turned out to be a human named Huansha. Because of her great reputation in Gaoyuan City and the fact that she presided over Huajianfang, people privately gave her the name Huan Sha Nu.
Huansha Nu rarely goes on stage in person. Every time she does, all the nobles from the north of the city come to support her.
Upon hearing the news, Wu Gen couldn't help but be a little confused. A human woman has become the boss of a teaching workshop, and she is so famous. It is a bit abnormal to think about it.
He quickly grabbed the clerk and asked for details. After stuffing him with two taels of silver, Wu Gen finally found out that this Huansha girl seemed to have been a woman from a wealthy family. After being captured in Kuntianzhou, she was kept by the Heita family. .
Because he was extremely good at both singing and dancing, the head of the Heita family, Heita Yunfu, fell in love with Huansha Nu at first sight and was reluctant to use the Extracting and Devouring method on her. So he simply kept it in the mansion and was responsible for singing music to entertain the guests.
As time went by, all the shepherds in the city knew the name of Huan Sha Nu. However, like all the jealousies in deep mansions and courtyards, Heita Yunfu's first wife quit and tried several times to send people to kill Huansha.
In desperation, Heita Yunfu had no choice but to send her out of the house, and paid for the construction of the Huajianfang, allowing Huansha Nu to settle in it, and strictly forbidding other shepherds from trying to have Huansha Nu's ideas. It is said that the head of the family often comes here to listen to Huan Sha Nu’s music.
People in the city naturally know about this relationship. Some people want to curry favor with Heita Yunfu, and some people really admire the beauty of Huansha. Anyway, the business of Huajianfang has been very good since it opened. People without certain strength are embarrassed to enter the shop. , this has become an important place for shepherds in the city to show their identity.
Wu Gen was naturally not interested in this. His trip was to take revenge on the Heita family, and a singing girl was definitely not among his considerations.
