In the early morning, Wu Gen was awakened by the dazzling sunlight. He rubbed his aching head and muttered: "This Chu Xi, I didn't expect to drink so well."
Yesterday, the two of them drank heavily all night, drinking at least twenty jars of wine, and wiped out all the rewards Wu Gen had allocated this time.
Suddenly, Wu Gen's face showed anger. When he was at the Gaoyuancheng Inn, this Chu Xi could only drink two bottles and pretend to be drunk. Last night, he destroyed all his inventory.
Damn it, when he thought about the difficult days without alcohol, Wu Gen jumped up from the bed in anger and was about to rush out. Accidentally, my foot stepped on an empty wine jar, and with a bang, I fell to the ground and gnawed in the mud.
Squeak, the door was pushed open, and Yang Zheng walked in with a smile, "Wu Gen, the leader of Wu Village, why do you need to give such a gift so early in the morning? It's a pity that I don't have any lucky money to give you."
Wu Gen reached out and picked up an empty wine jar on the ground and threw it over. Yang Zheng nimbly dodged it and helped Wu Gen up with a smile, "Why, the two of us cherished each other last night. If I hadn't rushed over in time to help Chu Xi, If you can't help but send it back, you two can become Long Yangzhi."
"Go, go, go." Wu Gen grabbed the teapot on the table and wanted to drink some water, but after pouring it for a long time, only a drop of water came out from the spout.
Yang Zheng shook his head, reached out and took out a pear from his sleeve, and threw it to Wu Gen, "I told you to arrange some maids for you, but it's a good thing that you refused to agree to it.
By the way, Wu Gen, what did you talk to Chu Xi about that made him so devoted to you? When I helped him back last night, he thought I was you and kept vowing that I would keep this inheritance for you and live up to your trust. In the end, I even wanted to hold on to my oath. Oops, I still feel a little numb now that I think about it. "
Wu Gen chewed the pear and drank it after a few mouthfuls. He puffed up his mouth and spit out a pear seed with a pop. The pear seeds drew a graceful arc and fell accurately into an empty wine jar.
Sitting slumped on the bed, Wu Gen said dejectedly: "What else can we talk about? Isn't it just about confiding in one's heart, undressing and pushing food? It's all mentioned in the storybook."
Yang Zheng gave Wu Gen a thumbs up, "Okay, okay, Wu Gen, you were born in a bandit village. If you were born in a royal family, you would be destined to be emperor. I find that you are playing this trick now. Slip away."
Wu Gen smiled bitterly and looked at the roof with dull eyes, "You think I like to play this kind of power play? This talk is far more tiring than a fight.
Now think about it, no matter how high your cultivation level is, what's the use? The most powerful tool is your tongue. Therefore, those politicians are truly extraordinary beings. They can destroy a country with just one word and prosper a country with just one word. "
Yang Zheng suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Wu Gen, we are leaving."
Wu Gen nodded, "This place is gradually becoming stable. Those four families can't do anything to us anymore, and we can't do anything to the Heita family. Under such a situation, it's better to go to Ji Yesuan to see if there is a chance to do something."
"Are you going to let Chu Xi take charge of everything on Zuoheng Road?"
"Yes, he is a shepherd, and he is well versed in the operating methods of each family. It is more appropriate for him to preside over it."
"How can he, a mortal, lead people to fight? After all, we have left. It is inevitable that other families will have ideas. Maybe you want to keep Ha Bao or Xue Xin."
Wu Gen sat up from the bed, holding his knees with both hands, "I'm going to let Ha Bao stay. Xue Xin is a general material, and I can't bear to leave him here. I don't know if he will show off after finding Ji Yesuan." A place for skill.”
Yang Zheng looked more serious, looked outside and whispered: "Ha Bao is brave but foolhardy. What if Chu Xi is deceived like Hada, how can Chu Xi control it, and what if he dies in Ha Bao's hands?"
Wu Gen was also a little annoyed and sighed, "I'm not worried if Ha Bao colludes with others to murder Chu Xi. Maybe someone plans who. But what I'm most worried about is that Ha Bao will take risks and directly kill Chu Xi. , what to do. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but there is no good way at the moment, so I can only wait and see."
The two discussed for a long time, but Yang Zheng suggested that he was going to Hengmen Port during this period. According to reports, the whale herders were coming, and he wanted to see if Yu Feng would come.
After hearing this, Wu Gen's eyes lit up and he rummaged around the house for a long time before he found the scales that Yu Feng had given him when they parted. He threw them to Yang Zheng, "If Yu Feng arrives, be sure to invite him to Shixing." Village, there are some things that I would like to discuss with him."
Yang Zheng agreed, put away his scales and left in a hurry.
Wu Gen has not been idle either. In the past few days, he has been traveling with Chu Xi to Mozhi and other families, taking over the human race and demarcating the allocated territory. This territory is also very interesting. It spans the Mozhi and Ansi families, but does not enter the scope of the Baili family.
This territory still nominally belongs to the other two families, and each family can come and go freely, but they are not allowed to send troops into it, and the fearless army is responsible for recruiting people and collecting taxes from the tribes on the territory.
Of course, these two families had already made a lot of money from the Baili family, so Wu Gen didn't care about the transactions between them, since they would definitely not suffer losses anyway.
After this incident, each family's attitude towards Wu Gen was very different and became much more respectful. Strength is always the best face. Being able to wipe out seven hundred cavalry is no longer a character that can be messed with casually.
Lingyun Village is actually the largest trade distribution center of the Fearless Army. As Wu Gen's agent, Chu Xi is permanently stationed here. Relying on the officialdom experience he honed in the Heita family, he can freely deal with various families and gradually stabilize the strange overlapping situation around Hengmen Port.
On this day, Wu Gen was supervising the training of newly recruited personnel in Shixing Village. Two riders hurriedly came from the bottom of the mountain. They were Yang Zheng and Yu Feng. Seeing Wu Gen, Yu Feng hesitated for a moment. When he saw the familiar eyes, he ran over with a big smile and hugged Wu Gen tightly.
"I didn't expect you to be so ugly." Yu Feng's first words made Wu Gen, who was preparing for the reunion of brothers and the atmosphere of surprise, froze. Is it necessary to tell the truth?
Perhaps because he felt that what he said was inappropriate, Yu Feng quickly added, "It's not that ugly, but I didn't expect that you had only been in Kuntianzhou for so long, and you had occupied so much territory and had so many people. , as brothers, I admire you from the bottom of my heart."
Wu Gen patted the other party's shoulder proudly, "Let's go to the house and talk."
The three of them arrived at Wu Gen's house. Since Chu Xido was not in Shixing Village, it gave Wu Gen the opportunity to enrich himself. There was a lot of good wine hidden in the house.
"How long will we stay in Hengmen Port this time?" Wu Gen opened a wine jar and poured a glass of wine for both Yu Feng and Yang Zheng. He asked Zhuo Ke to cook a few more dishes, and the four of them started drinking together in the room.
"Ten days at most. The pack whale stays offshore for a long time, and its appetite is quite large. It has no choice but to rush back to the deep sea to hunt for food." Yu Feng seemed a little excited, and drank the wine in the glass with a gulp.
Wu Gen thought for a while and asked: "Is there any big whale that can transport people or animals? The kind that can sneak under the sea for a long time."
"Yes." Yu Feng said firmly, but the next sentence poured cold water on Wu Gen, who was full of joy, "We don't have it at home."
Seeing Wu Gen's disappointed look, Yu Feng quickly explained: "The whales that can transport humans and animals are called virtual whales, and they are more common in the northern part of the sea. Due to years of war, there is no regular exchange between Tianyuanzhou and Kuntianzhou, so virtual whales are used to transport animals. People are extremely unprofitable, so many sharks don’t raise this whale.”
"How many people can the virtual whale transport at one time?" Yang Zheng asked curiously.
Yu Feng thought for a moment, clapped his fingers and said, "That's not necessarily the case. The smaller ones can transport dozens of people, and the larger ones can accommodate hundreds of people."
"Can you find some ways to find some virtual whales?" Wu Gen poured Yu Feng a glass of wine, "I will pay for all the expenses."
Yu Feng looked troubled, holding his cheeks and said: "These virtual whales are extremely intelligent and powerful. There are not many sea beasts in the sea who dare to provoke them.
If he were to pursue him forcefully, he would probably attract revenge from the virtual whale, and even the sharks would not dare to provoke him. The only way is to get closer to him, lure him with spiritual beads, and let him slowly recognize his master before he is willing to listen to others. "
Zhuo Ke also added on the side: "Yu Feng is right. I once encountered big whales when I was fishing for pearls in the sea. If I don't provoke them, they are kind-hearted. If I provoke them, they will attack in groups. . And this kind of big whale has an extremely long lifespan. If you offend them, don’t even think about going to the sea. Village leader, if that doesn’t work, I’ll go to the high sea and see if I can find the virtual whale and come back.”
When Wu Gen heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly, regardless of whether he could find it or not, even if he found it, it would take a long time to develop feelings bit by bit. If Zhuo Ke encounters another accident during this period, his intestines will not regret it.
"By the way, transporting a few people to and from Beizhou and Kuntianzhou might help." Wu Gen asked, unwilling to give up.
"A few people, it's a trivial matter, I'll go find my dad." Yu Feng patted his chest and agreed. Wu Gen's face darkened. Yu Hai had talked to him privately at the beginning and did not want his son to be involved in these matters.
Yu Feng's eyes widened, "Zha, what kind of look is that? My father said that when I grow up, as long as I don't play too much, he won't care about me anymore.
We whale herders travel on the sea all year round and are actually familiar with many smuggling ships. After all, in the vast sea, if anything goes wrong, there must be someone to take care of each other, right? If there are only a few people, my dad can just find a boat. If that doesn't work, if you can bear the long journey in the water, I can find a few tribesmen to drag you over. "
Seeing the other party patting his chest, Wu Gen felt that asking Yu Feng for help might be unreliable for a moment, but there was no other way at the moment, so he had to turn to Yang Zheng and said: "Can you go back to Beizhou and ask Baoxiang and a few people are willing to come to Kuntian Continent for a while, and they may lose their lives at any time if they don't pay."
"Ah." Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment. He knew that Wu Gen was in a dilemma with no one under his command. Wu Gen would be even more stretched when he left. "When I leave, who should I leave this business to?"
"Give it to Ha Ying first, and then let Chu Xi think of a way." Wu Gen sighed, "In the future, there will be more and more people in the Fearless Army. How can it be done without anyone to lead it? And if Baoxiang and the others didn't come in earlier, there are some It's a shame, after all, the military is the most important in terms of qualifications.
Of course, this is all voluntary, but it is best if the bridge class can be roped in. "In the end, Wu Gen said almost through gritted teeth. Drawing the blood talisman these days almost caused Wu Gen to vomit blood. He had to find a helper no matter what.
Yang Zheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I will hand over to Ha Ying in the next few days, and then follow Brother Yu Feng in a few days."
