The team left Qiyun Mountain safely. Looking back, everyone in the Fearless Army felt a little dazed. When Hua Yanlin led the people away from the canyon, they hid in the grass in the distance, counting heads like frightened gophers.
There were a thousand people, including Hua Yanlin, an unknown master. If the two sides were to fight in the valley, with a ten to one advantage, the Fearless Army would have no choice but to die with nothing left.
Fortunately, the other party gave way, and everyone felt like they had been spared.
"Master, how did you convince Hua Yanlin?" Along the mountain road going down, Xue Xin looked at Wu Gen with reverence.
"I didn't convince him. He already thought so. People with ideas will always do something unexpected." Wu Gen was riding on his horse, playing with the whip in his hand.
"You're saying that he wants to let the Fearless Army go. That's not to go against Hulan Fuyan and go against the Hulan family. Could it be that he wants to..." Xue Xin's voice became lower and lower, and he glanced at the tall man behind him in disbelief. Qi Yunshan, it was as if the man was still watching his group from a distance.
"Yes, he wants to rebel." Wu Gen smiled slightly, "He also wants to use the power of the Ji family, so that he can easily let us go."
"But how could he like us? Our current situation looks really scary."
"So he is said to be smart. A smart person has a good vision and can see things that ordinary people cannot see. The wind rises at the end of the green grass, the waves form between the gentle waves, and when people interact with each other at the end, he is there We place bets before the momentum becomes strong, take a long-term view, and seek big fish, and we don’t know how much the returns will be in the future.”
"Oh, these people's eyes are so poisonous. They can see for years at a glance. This way, I have more confidence in Hua Yanlin's rise."
"Haha, let's see. We don't care if he can gain momentum. If our fearless army cannot gain a firm foothold in the Iron Hand Province, let's see if he will pay attention to us. Today's move is just a casual move. That’s all.”
After descending from Qiyun Mountain, Wu Gen led his people to continue heading north, looking for a place called Yema Terrace. According to the information sent by Yu Hao, Ji Yehui sent people to wait for Wu Gen and his party here.
The further down you go, the more flowers and plants on the ground grow. A winding river flows out from Qiyun Mountain and winds towards the depths of the grassland. The sun shines down and the water surface sparkles with silver light.
At a bend in the river, a high platform suddenly appeared on the plains, like a lying tiger, monitoring Qiyun Mountain and the vast grassland in the distance.
On the stage, there is a deserted small town, which was originally a military camp to guard against the invasion of Bailing Province. But now that the two sides have not fought for many years, the military camp has gradually become abandoned and has become a resting place for traveling merchants.
Ever since a tall flag with the word "Ji" was erected here, merchants have moved out of the way, making this small town become much more bleak again.
Seeing this small town, Wu Gen was elated. Just in case, he asked his men to find a hiding place to wait while he and Zhuo Ke rushed forward.
When they arrived at the small city where the wooden gate had long since disappeared, only the doorway remained. Just as he was about to step forward, two soldiers wearing chainmail appeared at the gate and ordered Wu Gen to stop.
Seeing the other party's rude behavior, Wu Gen was not at all angry. He was from Brother Ji. Why did he look so energetic? Look at this armor, look at this person, he is majestic and domineering, not bad, not bad.
"Where did the tailless sheep come from? How dare you not dismount after seeing grandpa? Come down. I think you are impatient." A soldier stepped forward menacingly, reaching out to grab Wu Gen.
Wu Gen gently used the riding crop to turn the man around in a circle.
Forget it, it was the first time they met, and they didn't know him. Don't worry about this with the servants. Wu Gen looked a little worried.
"You're like a dog, how dare you resist." The soldier became angry and groaned, drew his sword out of its sheath, and struck at Wu Gen with a wave of his hand.
It can be seen that this man really made a killing blow, without any strength left. If the sword had been strong enough, Wu Gen would be better off, but the horse beneath him would have been crippled.
Oh, Ji Ye's people are so ignorant.
For a moment, Wu Gen's heart was filled with anger. He didn't draw his sword. He gently flicked the scabbard in front of him and opened the opponent's mouth.
broadsword. Then with a gentle swipe, it hit the opponent's face, hitting the soldier so hard that he spun around twice and fell to the foot of Wu Gen's horse.
Wu Gen sneered, and gently dismounted his horse. The huge hoofs of the war horse stepped on the soldier's back, making it impossible for him to move at all.
Seeing that something was not going well, another soldier turned around and ran towards the small town. Wu Gen didn't stop him, and still sat calmly on the horse, carefully controlling the strength of the horse to avoid trampling the boy on the ground to death and making Ji Ye's face look bad.
"Bold maniac, dare to take action against the Ji family, don't you want to live?" Following the messy footsteps, a young shepherd appeared from the city, dressed in white, holding a long sword, and wearing a silk ribbon around his waist. Silk belt.
Wu Gen sat on the horse, his face getting uglier. Could it be that Ji Ye had a change of heart and turned against him when he returned to Kuntian Continent? Then why did he come here after all the hard work?
Seeing that Wu Gen was indifferent, the herdsman was about to get angry when he suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively: "Are you the Wu Gen that the second young master mentioned?"
"Yes." Wu Gen sat on the horse, his face as cold as frost.
The shepherd rolled his eyes and immediately changed his face to a smile. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold Wu Gen's horse, "It's a sin, it's a sin. I've been waiting here for many days, and finally I've been waiting for Mr. Wu to arrive. Just now." I am really clumsy, I have neglected Mr. Wu, please forgive me."
Although he claimed he was guilty, there was no apology in his actions, and there was even a hint of contempt in his eyes from time to time.
Wu Gen glanced at the other party, but he didn't want to get angry with such a young man. He got off his horse, threw the reins to Ji Nan, and walked towards the city with his hands behind his back.
Ji Nan looked at the reins in his hands with a stiff expression, threw them to the person next to him, and quickly released the soldier on the ground.
"Where is Ji Ye?" Old God Wu Gen was there, speaking in an official tone.
"The second young master is waiting for the young master in Hanlu City." Ji Nan gritted her teeth and followed with a smile on her face.
"Well, do you know about my friendship with Ji Ye?" Wu Gen stopped and looked sideways at Ji Nan.
"I know, you two formed a life-long friendship in Kuntian Continent. So after receiving the letter from the young master, the second young master ordered the younger one to rush here without stopping. He was not allowed to go back until he received the young master. "Ji Nan dealt with it carefully from the side.
"Okay, I still have some people, please arrange them together." Wu Gen handed the riding whip to Ji Nan and looked at the small town as he walked.
Looking up, the small town is in ruins, and many earthen walls have collapsed to the ground. Most of the houses here are adobe houses, many of which have been damaged by wind and rain.
In the center of the small town, there is the only brick house standing. It is only the size of a room, but the room is very large. This should have been the place where the military camp held business meetings, but at this time it had been changed into housing.
Wu Gen walked straight to the house and looked inside. It was quite clean. Someone had built a kang with quilts on it. But the bedding had been opened, and it was obvious that someone was living here.
"Ji Nan, when are we going to Hanlu City?" Wu Gen turned around and asked.
"Of course, it all depends on the Young Master, but my second young master admires the Young Master very much and looks forward to meeting him soon, so it would be better to set off as soon as possible." Ji Nan also roughly figured out Wu Gen's temper at this time, Wei Fu He bent down and smiled.
Wu Gen nodded, "Okay, let's rest for a day before setting off. It's been hard work these days on the road." He walked to the Tukang and frowned, "Whose quilt is this? It smells so good. Change it." Already."
After saying that, Wu Gen was not polite and sat directly on the edge of the kang to test the softness and hardness. Suddenly he saw Ji Nan was still in the room and asked, "Did Ji Ye ask you to bring any message?"
Ji Nan carefully looked outside and closed the door gently, "Before leaving, the Second Young Master told me that if you are not sure what to say after meeting, you can ask where you first met that day."
Wu Gen nodded slightly, is this right? "We met for the first time in the Blood Tower, and we traveled together in a great way."
Ji Nan clasped her hands in her fists, "It's true what I said to the Second Young Master, Mr. Wu, the Second Young Master said that he can't come to greet him in person due to various matters. Please forgive me."
"It's easy to talk, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not.
That is to say, wine is enough. Wu Gen waved his hand casually, pointed to the quilt on the kang and said, "I don't know whose quilt was left here. Take it away for me."
Ji Nan looked a little ugly. This was his own quilt, and he was kicked out just like that. He stepped forward and picked up the quilt and walked to the door. Wu Gen suddenly ordered: "By the way, I will bring you some food and wine. I haven't had a meal in Ansheng these days."
Ji Nan's face was gloomy, but when she turned around, she was already smiling, "Mr. Wu, please wait a moment. We'll send someone over right away."
Looking at his back, Wu Gen snorted coldly, lying on the kang with his head raised, making a big gesture of comfort. After living in the open air these days, this kang is still more comfortable.
After a while, Ji Nan brought a table of food and wine and bowed out. There are not many dishes, but the workmanship is quite exquisite. A jar of wine is filled with aroma as soon as it is opened.
Soon, Zhuo Ke arrived here with Xue Xin and others, and the originally empty town suddenly became lively. Although there are many houses in this small town, most of them have collapsed. Some of the intact ones have been occupied by the people led by Ji Nan. The remaining houses cannot meet the needs of the fearless army.
Wu Gen was eating and drinking in the house when the door knocked softly and Xue Xin, Zhang Wuyang and others walked in.
"Sit down, come and try some of Ji's food." Wu Gen greeted several people.
Xue Xin and others squatted down at the table, and without being polite, they broke off a few branches to use as chopsticks, and they started chatting while eating.
"Captain, these people seem to look down on us." After a glass of wine, Ha Ying couldn't hold himself back and complained in a low voice, "Obviously there are some houses that can be squeezed in, but they insist on not letting us live in them. Many brothers just want to stay here tonight. I can find a sheltered place to sleep in the open.”
Wu Gen stopped holding the chopsticks in his hand for a moment, his face became gloomy, and his eyes became fierce.
Seeing this, Xue Xin quickly persuaded him: "The village leader shouldn't pay too much attention, this kind of thing should be normal. Considering that the Ji family is also the lord of the province and is on an equal footing with the Hulan family, we will naturally look down upon us.
Now that we are on their territory, we should endure it as long as we can, so as not to ruin our major event and damage the friendship between the village owner and his friends. When we gain strength, others will naturally take a high look at us. "
At this time, Ha Ying also realized that something was wrong with what he just said, so he quickly added: "What Commander Xue said is that if you look down on you, you should look down on you. We can't live without two ounces of meat. One day we will be rich." , they want to climb high but can’t.”
"That's right." Zhuo Ke and others looked at each other and hurriedly agreed. Now they were really afraid that their village leader couldn't help but run out and chop off Ji Nan's head.
Wu Gen put down the chopsticks in his hand, drank the wine in the cup, and placed it heavily on the table. "Don't worry, for Ji Ye's sake, I won't go too far. At the moment, we want to reach Hanlu safely. City, make arrangements for the brothers."
On the second day, the group had an early meal and then set off on the road with the Ji family. This time Ji Nan brought fifty guards, and the team suddenly numbered more than a hundred people, heading northeast in a mighty manner.
