"You are Wu Gen." A tall, old man wearing a cloak looked down at Wu Gen, who was sitting quietly on the ground.
The miserable mountain wind suddenly stopped, and the chirping birds disappeared. The moment the man lifted off his cloak, the surroundings became quiet. The coldness crawled around Wu Gen's body like a poisonous snake, making his body gradually stiffen. Every time he breathed, he felt cold. A cloud of white gas will be exhaled.
"Yes, Your Excellency..." Wu Gen did not stand up. The man in front of him was as cold as ice and as hard as stone. Judging from his posture, he did not look like a relative he had never met from afar. For such a person, the so-called begging for mercy and stubborn resistance will have no effect, so Wu Gen didn't bother to get up.
"I am Che Yunlu, the elder of the Jishi Hall of Dengtian Palace." The man said proudly.
"Oh, it's Elder Che. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Wu Gen slowly got up from the ground and offered his hand in a perfunctory manner.
"You are good at using weapons and attacking other provinces. Do you think you are guilty of this?" Che Yunlu frowned and his face darkened.
The sound struck Wu Gen's mind like a hammer. Wu Gen's face suddenly turned pale. He suppressed the fishy smell that was about to rise in his throat, raised his head and stared coldly at the man opposite him, "Elder Che, I heard that for all provinces, In wars, the Dengtian Palace only has the role of regulating it, but has no power to stop it."
When I was with Yu Hao, I also learned some of the rules of the Dengtian Palace. They only monitored the families and clans of Kuntian Continent. As for the replacement of provincial lords and the wars between provinces, they had no right to stop or participate in them. However, there are also some elders who secretly intervene in it either because of their own interests or because of their likes and dislikes.
The elder of the Dengtian Temple who was killed by the bird catchers was because he was too partial to a certain person.
home, but was killed by the fowler. Ordinarily, the death of the dignified elder would definitely cause an uproar, but because he broke the rules first, everyone was unwilling to investigate the matter, and in the end it was left unsolved.
"Yes, I am not allowed to get involved in the disputes between different families in the Dengtian Palace. This is like raising Gu, the strong one will rise to the top. But no matter who wins or loses, I will be the shepherd in the end. When will it be your turn as a human race? Jumping up and down. Our Jishitang is responsible for arresting bandits from other continents. If you are more sensible, you can follow me back to the Dengtian Palace and withdraw the troops and horses and hand them over to the Ji family. Maybe you can save your life." Che Yunlu looked at it with disgust. Wu Gen, it was like seeing a ball of unclean things.
Wu Gen was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually turned ugly, "Elder Che, please call me elder because you are older. I am also the governor of Ji Kingdom. How can you be so shameless that you will take me away."
"Haha, the Ji family is really incompetent. You, the governor, don't listen to orders and don't pay taxes. You are just like a separatist government. How can I allow you to act so arrogantly?" Che Yunlu sneered, with some impatience on his face.
"When did Dengtian Temple become a bandit? They can take people as they please without even a single piece of paperwork. With such behavior, no wonder the shepherds can't defeat the divine sect. It's really the worst thing about you who don't follow the rules and act recklessly on the basis of your cultivation. That bastard." Wu Gen tightened his grip on the object in his arms, and his body gradually became tense. Even though he couldn't beat him, it was definitely not his character to sit back and wait for death.
"Arrogant, my herdsman kills the human race like a bug, how can I say it in the book?" The cloak behind Che Yunlu suddenly danced, like a violent lion, his hand stretched out fiercely, Wu Gen's body couldn't help but Flying in front of him under control,
Fall into its iron claws.
A strong force was exerted on his neck, Wu Gen's face suddenly turned red, and he struggled hard but couldn't get out. With a clang, a jade bottle fell out of his arms.
The jade bottle rolled several times on the ground, and pieces of flying sand flew out from the mouth of the bottle. The flying sand shimmers with silver light, floating in the air as light and elegant as a veil, moving like clouds and flowing water, and shimmering in the sunlight, like a gorgeous picture, elegant and hazy.
Soon, these silver sands gathered together and turned into a vague image of a woman. The woman's face kept changing, and her light body slowly wandered around Cheyun Road.
"Che Yunlu, it's too shameless of you for such an old man to bully a child." The woman's voice was faint, as if it had traveled thousands of miles to reach this point.
"Yu Songsu, you'd better stay out of this matter. This human race has already violated a taboo. If you wade into this muddy water, I'm afraid your nest will be in danger." Che Yunlu looked at the woman coldly, and his cloak had fallen down. , protecting his body tightly.
"Taboo? Haha
ha. "Yu Songsu raised his head and laughed, so that the silver sand that made up his body kept shaking and shining in the sun, "How come I haven't heard of such rules in the Dengtian Temple? I'm afraid this is your Che Yunlu It’s a taboo.”
"I advise you to mind your own business." Che Yunlu said word by word.
"Why, you want to fight, I'll take care of it today. I have forgotten what it felt like to be stepped on by me back then. Maybe you have a hobby of self-mutilation." Yu Songsu looked at the other party mockingly.
Che Yunlu's face became more and more ugly, as if he was recalling something unpleasant, "You can only stay here in Liangzhe Mountain, you can't protect this person."
"In Liangzhe Mountain
If you hit him, you can't touch him even a little bit. " Yu Songsu didn't care. He tilted his head and looked at Che Yunlu with a smile. "As for leaving here, I can't control it. I'm not his elder, and I have to protect him for the rest of his life."
"Okay. I'll give you some face today. I just hope he doesn't appear outside Liangzhe Mountain." Che Yunlu let go of his hand and Wu Gen fell to the ground. He coughed loudly and hurriedly stimulated his blood to recover from his almost stiff body. .
Hum, Che Yunlu turned around and took a step forward, his body appeared in the air, he glanced down at Wu Gen coldly, turned around and flew away into the distance.
"Really like a dog." Yu Songsu glanced at Wu Gen on the ground with contempt.
In order to prevent being killed by a master shepherd, Wu Gen sent Bu Qiyin to beg Yu Songsu, and he got this jade bottle. As long as he is in Liangzhe Mountain and encounters danger, he can open the jade bottle, and Yu Songsu will naturally come to see him. save.
Wu Gen rubbed his neck and stood up, without refuting the other party's humiliation. It didn't matter whether he looked like a dog or not, as long as he survived.
Looking coldly at the direction Che Yunlu left, Wu Gen picked up the jade bottle on the ground and said, "Thank you, senior Yu."
Yu Songsu glanced at Wu Gen with a complicated expression, and sighed: "Che Yunlu has a violent personality, and he will never let you go. I can't protect you all the time, so I'll just do it myself."
As he spoke, his body turned into dots of silver sand and flew back into the jade bottle.
The surroundings were calm again, and the people on the wall did not notice anything unusual here, as if nothing happened.
Wu Gen found a stone and sat down, holding a knife in both hands and looking coldly at the west. After a long time, Fang slowly stood up and returned to Wuchuan Pass.
A few days later, news came from the front that the fearless army had
After breaking into the Chagan family's territory, heading south, they will enter Zuoheng Road.
At the same time, the Hua family finally arrived in front of Wuchuan Pass, and what came was Hua Yanlin’s third son, Hua Chonglan. This man was in his early twenties, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that of his father, but his facial features were harder and he looked a bit more cold.
"Captain, my father fought a bloody battle in the north. Why didn't the fearless army go west to intercept the supporting enemy? Instead, they went all the way south." Hua Jinglan's tone was a little stiff, and he still smelled of blood from the battlefield. "If my Hua family is defeated, How can a fearless army win alone?"
Sitting in the big tent behind Wuchuan Pass, Wu Gen smiled and made a cup of tea for the other party, "Young Master Hua, you have also seen that I have been building the city here. Wu doesn't know what the war is like ahead. As the saying goes If the general's military orders from outside are not accepted, my subordinates should decide how to fight according to the favorable conditions of the time, place and enemy's situation. It is not appropriate to interfere too much."
Hua Jinglan suppressed the anger in his heart and did not touch the tea in front of him. "Captain Wu, my Hua family can give away some more of the profits from Zuoheng Road. Please march north as soon as possible."
Wu Gen sighed, cupped his hands towards the other party and said, "Wu is not someone who takes advantage of the situation. Fifty percent is fifty percent, but the land allocated to the Fearless Army on Zuoheng Road must be more. Our Fearless Army has one hundred thousand troops, only half of it." The land cannot accommodate it, please forgive me, young master."
"Captain Wu, half of the land is quite a lot. If this is good, I will make the decision for my father. Sixty percent of the land on Zuoheng Road will be allocated to the Fearless Army. My Hua family only needs 40%. This is my bottom line." Gong Lan stretched out four fingers and stared at Wu Gen.
"If that's the case, how about we set the boundary between the two families now?" Wu Gen smiled broadly and stretched out his hand to take the
Produce a map of Zuoheng Road.
"You..." Hua Jinglan's face suddenly darkened. It turned out that they had already prepared and were waiting for him to come.
Looking at Wu Gen's mean face, I wish I could kick him
He fell to the ground and stepped on him hard. Heaving a sigh of relief, Hua Jinglan suppressed the urge to hit someone, "But, it would be better to settle it earlier."
The two made gestures on the map and had a heated argument, and finally decided on the boundary between the two families. The territory of the Fearless Army is divided into two parts, both of which are close to Hengmen Port.
Except for part of the territory under the jurisdiction of the Hua Family, which is in the middle of the Fearless Army, most of it is located in the north of Zuoheng Road. It's like a gourd. The mouth of the gourd is the Hengmen Port, and it gets bigger as you go further back. But in Hengmen Port, Hua Jinglan did not make any concessions, and the two sides were still divided into two.
Seeing that the boundary was set, Wu Gen also breathed a sigh of relief. When he and Hua Yanlin agreed to divide half of the territory each, there was no specific demarcation. Wu Gen was afraid that he would regret it after taking office, or do some tricks, and put the fearless army far away from Hengmen Port to cut off the connection with the port. Then what do you want this enclave for?
"Commander, can you mobilize the troops?" Hua Chunlan put down the map and said in a rough voice.
"Of course you can, but Young Master Hua has also seen the current situation. Our army has penetrated deep into the south and it is difficult to turn around for a while. We might as well kill the Heita family and then turn around and head north, otherwise the border you and I agreed on will be meaningless."
Seeing that the other party was in a hurry, Wu Gen quickly comforted him and said, "That's good. I will immediately send a message to the army in front, ordering the front army to turn back first, attack the families along the way, and prevent them from going north. In addition, I still have 20,000 horses in the mountain. It can be done by
I led my troops directly to attack Zhu, Shaji and other families. "
"The military situation is urgent. Please ask the governor to send troops as soon as possible." Hua Chulan's expression softened a lot when he saw that Wu Gen agreed to send troops.
Wu Gen, on the other hand, looked a little sad and sighed: "Young master, you don't know something. Because of my status as a human race, I have already attracted the dissatisfaction of some people in the Dengtian Palace. They threatened to take me as long as I take one step out of Liangzhe Mountain." Life. Otherwise, how could I let the army stay outside and build a city and build a road here?"
"Then... what should we do?" Hua Chulan couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Although twenty thousand people were not many, but under the current situation where all the troops were exhausted, that was a solid new force.
"Your Majesty is familiar with Elder Zhang Youzhang. I wonder if I can invite him to join our army to suppress the battle. In this way, my life is not in danger, and I can put down my heart and fight with the army."
"This..." Hua Jinglan pondered for a moment, then struck hard with both hands, "I'm going to report this to my father and see how Elder Zhang will handle it. Although the Dengtian Palace does not allow you to participate in the disputes between different families, you can still visit the house."
"Okay, it's up to the young master to deal with it." Seeing that the other party agreed, Wu Gen did not hesitate and wrote a letter directly in front of Hua Chulan, ordering the front army of the Fearless Army to attack northward.
After the two reached an agreement, Hua Jinglan refused Wu Gen's banquet and left immediately on the Danghu Bird. Looking at the other person's retreating back, Wu Gen remained silent for a long time.
The reason why the Hua family wanted to invite Zhang You to help this time was firstly to see how determined Che Yunlu was to kill him, and secondly to feel Zhang You’s attitude. He wanted to pick peaches just by talking nonsense. Wu Gen said that he would knock out all his old teeth.
As for 20,000 troops, Wu Gen couldn't change them.
After dividing Ba Yan's men and horses into five thousand and bringing some civilian men, he claimed that twenty thousand was more than enough. He didn't say it was one hundred thousand because Wu Gen was a kind man.
