Wu Gen and Huan Sha Nu supported him all the way to the house where Chu Xi was hiding. When we arrived, the sky was still dark and the roosters had not yet crowed.
Chu Xi stood quietly in the room, watching the two men stumble in. After helping Huansha Nu sit on the ground, Chu Xi took out a pot of water from the baggage and carefully supported her to feed her a few mouthfuls.
Wu Gen smiled, got up and went outside the house, looking at the morning star in the distance, sitting under a tree and quietly regulating his breath. Not long after, the door of the room opened and the two of them came out hand in hand.
"Wu Gen, I have to leave and go back to Gaoyuan City." Huansha Nu said calmly.
Wu Gen was a little surprised, "Why don't you leave together? Gaoyuan City is already a dangerous place at this time. The so-called dragon pool and tiger's den is not an exaggeration."
"No." Huansha Nu sighed softly, "My inner elixir is still in the armrest of Heitayun. I need to get it back. Otherwise, he can use it to take advantage of me no matter where he goes. This time in the city If something goes wrong, as long as you are careful, no one will be able to spot the flaw. I’ll leave it to you, Chu Xi.”
"Chu Xi is leaving this time. I don't know when he will be able to return to Gaoyuan City. We might as well figure out a solution for the inner elixir in the future. Why don't we leave here so that you two can take care of each other." Wu Gen still tried his best to persuade. Chu Xi didn't have much cultivation, so it would be better if Huan Sha Nu was there to protect him.
Chu Xi was also moved and turned to look at Huansha Nu.
"I have made up my mind, Gaoyuan City must still be recovered, you will understand in the future." Huan Shanu glanced at Wu Gen, "If things go well, I will go to find you. If something happens... Forget it, what unlucky words to say. In short, Wu Gen, you are optimistic about Chu Xi, if anything goes wrong, I will definitely take it out on you."
Wu Gen nodded and signaled Chu Xi with his eyes.
Chu Xi's dead face was a little red. He grabbed Huan Shanu's hand and said solemnly: "Huan Sha, you must be careful and don't be careless. The Heita family will definitely pursue vigorous pursuits afterwards."
Huansha Nu's eyes were slightly red, and she looked up at the tall man beside her, "Don't worry, I have my own plan to deal with it. The future is uncertain, and you and I should take care of each other, and there is no need to act like children.
I have always known that you have great ambitions. The long-term love between children will eventually be a fetter for the future, so why should you be so worried about it. I just hope that the passing years will be peaceful and that you and I can meet again. In these days, you have not entered the water and clouds. Before leaving, let me dance a solo for you. "
As she said this, Huan Sha Nu danced gracefully in front of this dilapidated house, using the sky and the earth as her platform.
The light is gradually rising in the sky, and on the edge of the green mountains, there is a beautiful woman like a butterfly, her white clothes are stained by the clouds, Lin Feng is playing softly, and her lotus steps are moving lightly. The morning breeze lifts the clothes, and the woman blooms like an orchid in the sky and the earth.
Wu Gen sighed softly and walked into the forest alone. Since he was dancing alone, Chu Xi could only enjoy it alone.
After a while, Chu Xi walked in with no expression on his face, "Let's go."
Wu Gen was about to speak but stopped, then he laughed. The rightful owner hadn't said anything yet, so why did he worry so blindly, "Let's go."
The two of them climbed over mountains and ridges, avoiding major roads, and carefully returned to Shixing Village.
After entering the village, Chu Xi couldn't help but look surprised when he saw the intricate layout of the village and the soldiers who were shouting and training.
Although he usually works on swords and pens, he has stayed in Wanhu Mansion for a long time, so he has some insights. It can be seen that the village has a dangerous terrain and a well-organized layout.
In fact, this place can no longer be called a village, but a real fortress. If it is properly defended, it is absolutely impossible to attack this place without nearly ten thousand people. It can be said that one man can block the barrier and ten thousand people cannot open it.
On the way, he already knew Wu Gen's identity. For such an alien human race to have built such a powerful force in a short period of time, one can't help but marvel at it and feel a little bit contemptuous.
Wu Gen summoned everyone to the meeting hall, solemnly introduced Chu Xi's identity to everyone, and appointed him as a military commander, responsible for various strongholds and military laws.
The burden on Yang Zheng is too heavy, and with his slippery temperament, he is not suitable for such serious matters as law enforcement. Many times, when his subordinates make mistakes, they will raise their hands when they find Yang Zheng, and they will not do the same next time. Not only that, sometimes Wu Gen is like this, so that the execution of laws is sometimes tight and sometimes loose.
The two of them also know that this is not good, but sometimes they can't save face, so they can only make do with it.
Now Chu Xi is here. He is a good-natured person, and he is a herdsman. He has been responsible for criminal law for many years, so he is naturally the most suitable for this matter. Moreover, Chu Xi came from Wanhu Mansion, and just this layer of tiger skin made these old people hiding in the ravine really frightened.
As for Yang Zheng, Wu Gen arranged for him to be a candidate for official position, and he was still responsible for intelligence liaison. He also set up a special organization called Baishuitai, which he was fully responsible for.
After only one month here, Chu Xi acted vigorously and violently, punishing more than 30 people of all kinds. Even Wu Gen was banned from drinking for a month because he drank during military training.
Now, when the entire Fearless Army, as well as people in various strongholds, see Chu Xi who holds an iron ruler all day long, they are like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding as far as they can. Even Wu Gen and Yang Zheng felt uncomfortable when they saw Chu Xi.
However, in this way, the entire army was in order, and the original atmosphere of bandits was much less, and more of the atmosphere of a regular army.
On this day, Wu Gen and Yang were huddled in the house, discussing how to deal with the Baili family next. Due to sudden changes in Gaoyuan City, many soldiers from the Heita family outside were called back. The area around Hengmen Port became much quieter. Only the Baili family was still tirelessly searching for traces of the Fearless Army.
Next, Wu Gen plans to join forces with An Sijia to launch a war against the Baili family and defeat its main force in one fell swoop. There are a lot of things that require communication and coordination, so Yang Zheng's Baishuitai is a lot busier.
Wu Gen carefully took out a small wine bottle from under the bed, took a small sip, closed his eyes and thought carefully, with a look of intoxication on his face. This was the last bit of wine Wu Gen had hidden. The rest had been put into the public treasury, so he could no longer be as lavish as before and could only drink a little every day.
The corner of Yang Zheng's mouth twitched and he looked at Chu Xi who was hurriedly passing by outside the window, "Wu Gen, you really invited a master back. Everyone is tightly controlled here. Are you not afraid that in the end, everyone will only know Chu Xi?" , I don’t know Wu Gen.”
Wu Gen handed the jug to Yang Zheng and said with a chuckle: "Why is it so? Just because he is a shepherd, doesn't he manage things very well these days? Don't worry, Chu Xi can be a good minister, but he will never be a good minister." A king is like a thorny vine, which must be attached to a big tree to become a king.
He is also self-aware and has already made an agreement with me before coming here. He will only be responsible for the punishment and will not interfere with other logistics and military affairs. Such people, when used well, are indeed a great help.
Don't look at me being awkward now, not as comfortable as before, but the country has national laws and the village has its own rules. There are too many people, and it's really hard to have someone who can restrain us. "
Yang Zheng lamented and took a big gulp of wine, "I also know the truth. It's just that I'm used to being careless and suddenly someone is taking care of me, so I'm a little uncomfortable with it. Forget it, just feel uncomfortable if you feel uncomfortable."
"Drink less for me." Wu Gen took the jug away with his hand, "What do the An Si family and Mo Zhi family say? They are willing to join forces to deal with the Baili family."
"Now that the Heita family has withdrawn their hands, these two families are more courageous and are willing to send troops together with us." When talking about business, Yang Zheng looked serious, "But they just want to take a piece of meat from the Baili family. , and don’t want to bite it to death completely.”
"This is the cleverness of the two families. What will happen to the Qi family if the Baili family disappears? The Qi family still understands the meaning of death, and will do their best to help the Baili family when the time comes.
Even if the Mo Zhi family and the An Si family join forces to wipe out the other two families, someone will definitely fill the gap. Who will come, the Ansi family or the Mozhi family, or the two families will be divided equally.
This also means that one or two small families with outstanding strength have appeared on Zuoheng Road. What do you want the Heita family to think, which has just suffered a heavy blow? These two families would not make such a mistake before being prepared. "Wu Gen waved his arms and talked eloquently.
"Can we share the territory of the other two families with the Ansi family and the Mozhi family? In this case, our room for maneuver will be much larger." Yang Zheng suggested after thinking for a while.
Wu Gen glanced at the man and said with a smile: "At first you persuaded me to leave early and join Ji Yexuan. Now that I have some strength, I want to become bigger and stronger here."
Sighing, Wu Gen continued: "It is impossible for a human family to appear without the strength to compete with the Hulan family. Once we show this flag, don't worry, we will attack from all sides, even Mo The Zhi family and An Si family will also turn against each other and attack."
Yang Zheng touched his belly, with a sad look on his face, "It's difficult, I thought I tricked you back here, thinking that with our abilities, we would be able to stir up a storm in Kuntian Continent, but I didn't realize it until I arrived. , everything is not easy and every step is difficult. According to what you said, where should we go next."
Gently tapping the table with his hand, Wu Gen thought for a while and said slowly: "After we have established a firm foothold and the nearby families are unable to swallow us up at will, we might as well go look for Ji Yexuan again. With this With the help of others, things will be easier for us later on. By the way, we can get news about Ji Yesuan these days."
Yang Zheng took out a map from his arms and felt a little puzzled: "This is bought from the black market at a high price. To the northeast of Bailing Province, there is an Iron Hand Province. It is said that the lord's surname is Ji, but he is not the same as Ji Ye. I don’t know if Xuan is related or not, we need to investigate further.”
Suddenly, Yang Zheng remembered something, "By the way, An Sijia proposed that if this happens, he is willing to allocate a piece of Baili's land to us, so here it is." Yang Zheng roughly framed it on the map one time.
Wu Gen looked at it and saw that the place promised by the An Si family was nearly five hundred miles east of Shixing Village. He couldn't help but sneered: "An Siyuan is determined to drive us so far away from Hengmen Port. Tell me. We don't want them. If we want them, they need the territory from Shixing Village to Renfa Village. For other Baili Family territories, they can decide on their own.
Moreover, we do not want it, but we want it secretly. Nominally it still belongs to the Mozhi family and Ansi family, but it is actually under our control. Of course, both of them can come and go freely. "
Yang Zheng nodded, still a little confused, "Wu Gen, I think you killed Mo Zhicheng with the intention of subverting his family's power. Why are you so close to them now?"
Wu Gen looked at the mountains outside the window and said quietly: "There is a little guy in their family, which interests me a lot. I feel that he will definitely do something great in the future. I can't say that the changes in Kuntianzhou will be due to him. on the body."
