Wu Gen left Wuchuan Pass with eight thousand soldiers and horses, five thousand of whom were regular soldiers and three thousand who were recruited civilians. As for Guancheng, it has been handed over to Ji Yan and she is responsible for the construction.
Mo Zhibi had already arrived in Liangzhe Mountain, but Wu Gen didn't want him to be involved in the fighting, so as not to stain his character, he sent someone to Xianwan City. It happened that Gao Han was alone in the mountains, so he could have a companion when he went there.
The people and horses drove slowly on the winding hills, not moving very fast. In the middle of the team were several luxuriously decorated carriages. Looking at this posture, it doesn't look like going out to fight at all, it looks more like your noble master is taking people out to hunt.
Wu Gen sat in the car and respectfully served Zhang You a cup of tea, "Senior, please use it slowly. There are no specialties in Liangzhe Mountain. Even the rock tea under the snowy peaks can be eaten."
Zhang You reached out to take it, opened the lid of the cup with his orchid fingers, gently blew away a few crystal green tea leaves on the water, took a sip, and couldn't help but nodded slightly and said, "I'm interested."
"Ming Zheng, you also have tea." Wu Gen poured a cup and handed it to Ming Zheng, who was kneeling beside him. He took out candied fruits, osmanthus cake and other refreshments from the secret compartment of the car and placed them in front of Zhang You.
Zhang You took a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth. He used the one-inch nail on his little finger to gently scrape off the pastry residue from the corner of his mouth.
"Wu Gen, Che Yunlu is not someone to be trifled with. How did you offend him, and you actually made him come here personally to investigate." Zhang You took another sip of tea and looked at Wu Gen helplessly. .
"Senior, how can a small military leader like me dare to offend Elder Che?" Wu Gen also looked depressed and sighed,
"Someone must have been slandered, so he ignored his own status and bullied his nephew with his cultivation. Now that I am dead, it is not a big deal. What should I do if he attacks the Fearless Army?"
Ming Zheng, who was silent on the side, suddenly said: "You can rest assured, according to the rules of the Dengtian Palace, the elders in the palace are not allowed to interfere in the wars of various families, let alone attack the soldiers. If he does this, the other elders will spare him. .
You know, most of these elders come from various families. If they all break this rule, there will be chaos in the Dengtian Palace. Even if Elder Zhang went with the army this time, he could only do it in the name of hunting and could not attack any family. Otherwise, Dengtian Palace will definitely deal with it severely.
Che Yunlu can only seize the fact that you are a human being and take action. The Fearless Army can act boldly, but how many people are watching. "
Zhang You coughed and glanced dissatisfied at Ming Zheng. The latter quickly shut up and lowered his head, holding the teacup and sipping.
"Do you know who this slanderer is? He is really acting like a villain. When I go back, I will discuss it with this person." Zhang You put down the tea cup and gently stroked his long beard.
Wu Gen glanced at Ming Zheng and couldn't help but feel funny when he saw his appearance. Since Zhang Yu always has a good reputation and likes to pretend to be superior, what Ming Zheng said just now didn't expose his face. It's a blessing not to be scolded.
"Senior, I heard that it was Lu Lie who did it. This man was defeated by me in Iron Hand Province and later joined Che Yunlu's sect. He must have been resentful of me for destroying the Lu family, so he resorted to such dirty methods. Killing someone with a borrowed knife. Senior, please make the decision for me." Wu Gen looked angrily and saluted Zhang Youshen.
"oh,
He is a child of the Lu family. Even if he joins Elder Che, he cannot confuse right and wrong and encourage the elder to make mistakes. Don't worry, I will have a good talk with Elder Che and control my subordinates. "Zhang You had an understatement on his face. He picked up the teacup and covered his face and took a big sip.
"Thank you very much, Elder Zhang." Wu Gen looked overjoyed and refilled Zhang You's second cup of tea, then moved behind him and gently pressed his shoulders.
The army moved forward slowly. As it went forward, the terrain became flatter and the hills turned into grasslands. The journey was uneventful, with only the men of Natsu Kei, the new head of the Natsu family, encountered. Seeing this, these people hurried forward to inquire. When they heard that the leader of the Fearless Army was personally leading the troops, they immediately became more respectful.
While sending people to deliver the letter to Xiacheng, he also took care of everything along the way. The specifications were quite high, which made Zhang You quite satisfied.
On this day, Wu Gen was chatting with Zhang You in the car. Suddenly the latter frowned slightly and looked up at the roof of the car, "Stop the car, someone is visiting."
Wu Gen quickly asked people to stop and helped Zhang You out of the carport.
When Wu Gen looked up at the sky, his heart sank. Che Yunlu was floating quietly in the air, looking down at him coldly.
As if being stared at by a tiger, a biting chill rushed from his lower abdomen to his forehead. Wu Gen believed that if the other party insisted on attacking him, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to. With a slight turn of his body, Wu Gen hid behind Zhang You, and the feeling of dying at any time was relieved.
Zhang You leaned on his mahogany crutch and waved his hand to signal Wu Gen not to panic. The figure gradually blurred, and when it reappeared, it was already in the air, standing opposite Che Yunlu.
Wu Gen and Ming Zheng looked at each other and looked up at the sky.
The behavior of the two in the middle.
Zhang You first saluted Che Yunlu and seemed to have said some polite words, then pointed to the distance and motioned for the two of them to talk elsewhere.
But Che Yunlu crossed his arms and not only did not return the greeting, but instead spoke fiercely. He arrogantly rejected Zhang You's suggestion and stood motionless in the air.
Zhang Ye looked back at the crowd underground. With a wave of his hand, a white mist formed in the air, enveloping the two of them. The situation inside was no longer visible from the ground.
Wu Gen smiled slightly, turned around and sat on the shaft of the car, holding a piece of grass in his mouth and looking into the air with a playful expression.
"Wu Gen, Zhang is unreliable. If you want to use his power to protect yourself, you may not be able to do so." Ming Zheng also turned back to the car and persuaded him in a low voice.
"Then why are you still following him? Judging from your appearance, you don't feel happy being around him." Wu Gen tilted his head and looked at Ming Zheng's expression.
"People like me are just like dogs in the Dengtian Palace. Now that they have chosen a master, it is difficult to change the family at will. If they switch to others, they will definitely be despised, and they may even be kicked out of the Dengtian Palace." Ming Ming Zheng sighed and shook his head with a wry smile.
"You are also an army leader. If you could have endured longer in the Iron Hand Province, you would have had a lot of troops at your disposal. But you only wanted to take a shortcut and surrendered to the Ascension Palace, ruining your future. Yes." Wu Gen looked at Ming Zheng with a bit of hatred, reached out and patted his shoulder, "Thank you for Lu Lie this time, otherwise I wouldn't know who was harming me."
"Now I can only do small things. To be honest, I really envy you. You have a lot of troops in your hands, so that those families no longer dare to look down on you.
Human race. After you, I can’t say that some of Kuntianzhou’s patterns will change. "Mingzheng's face turned gloomy, he leaned on the carriage and murmured to the sky.
"If your life is really unsatisfactory, it is better to join my fearless army. Although you fight and kill every day, you can live a comfortable life." Wu Gen took out a bottle of wine from the carriage and handed it to Ming Zheng, "Don't cry in mourning. It’s shameful, wouldn’t you drink to drown your sorrows?”
Mingzheng did not take it, and turned to look at the sky, "Forget it, Zhang You will be back soon. He smells the wine and doesn't know how to scold me."
Wu Gen had no choice but to drink a few sips by himself. At this moment, the clouds in the sky dispersed, Zhang You slowly fell from the sky, and Che Yunlu's figure had long since disappeared.
Zhang You's face turned pale, he coughed, and walked slowly to the car, "Let's go, Che Yunlu is a man who understands the general situation after all. He has left and will not target you, a little governor."
"Then he will stop chasing me." Looking at Zhang Youfang's appearance, Wu Gen was still a little worried.
Zhang You looked stunned and stepped into the car. "He has some prejudice against the human race after all. As long as you are the governor of the Ji family or hold some official position in other families, he will not touch you. But if you stand on your own, what kind of king will you be?" Or Lord, I think there will be some trouble."
Wu Gen stood in front of the car and stopped for a moment, then quickly got in the car. The purpose of leaving Wuchuan Pass this time was to test the attitudes of Dengtian Temple and all parties.
It can be heard from Zhang You's words that Wu Gen and Wuweijun can only be attached to a certain family and be their dogs. No matter how ferocious this dog is, it is still a dog, and no one will attack it. But if you want to stand up and become the master, then I'm sorry, everyone in the continent will kill you and then be quick. This suits you well
The initial judgment was the same, so Wu Gen really couldn't lose the title of Governor of Ji State in the future.
After wandering around for a few days, the troops finally arrived at Xia City. Here, Wu Gen met Xia Gui, the current head of the Xia family.
He was originally a side branch of the Xia Tian family, leading a small number of troops. This time he was forcibly helped to the position of the family head by the fearless army. He felt unsure, so he was quite respectful to Wu Gen. In the future, if something happened to his family, he would have to This person sent troops to make peace.
Wu Gen was very polite to Xia Xiagui. This was the first game that the Fearless Army had set up in Bailing Province in addition to Shixing Village and other places. He would have to rely on his strength for many things in the future.
Therefore, Wu Gen stayed in Xiacheng for three days and secretly discussed many cooperation matters with Xia Xiagui. Of course, unlike Jiguo's Lunan, Shanbei and Jinliang counties in front of Liangzhe Mountain, Wu Gen didn't want to completely take over the Xia family, nor would he make it too difficult. After all, respect would last forever.
The two sides agreed that they should be responsible for supporting each other. No matter which family was in trouble, the other side should send troops to help. In fact, the Fearless Army suffers a bit in this regard. After all, compared to the Fearless Army, the Xia Tian family is still relatively weak, surrounded by various families, and the clan is not stable, so they need the help of the Fearless Army to quell the chaos.
If something happens to Wuweijun Liangzheshan, it will definitely be a big battle involving hundreds of thousands of people. If someone from the Xia Tian family comes, how much effect can they have?
Therefore, Xiaxiagui generously promised to pay a certain amount of money and food to the Fearless Army every year in exchange for the Fearless Army's blessing. At the same time, the Fearless Army left Liangzhe Mountain in the west, and the corresponding supplies could be provided by Xia Tianjia. In order to show his sincerity, Xia Xiagui also sent his eldest son Xia Xia Chu to the fearless army.
Wu Gen naturally throws himself into love
He reported to Li and took Zhang You around Xia City for several times. Although this move has no real significance, Zhang You's identity as a Dengtian Temple is indeed somewhat conspicuous, which makes those who secretly oppose Xia Xiagui unavoidably become suspicious.
After delaying for a few days and consolidating his retreat, Wu Genfang and his men wandered out of Xiacheng and headed west to the territory of the Zhu family and the Shaji family.
On the way, Zhang You proposed to leave. When he was in Xiaxia City, he had been betrayed by Wu Gen, making people mistakenly think that Dengtian Palace supported the Fearless Army to attack his home and supported Xiaxia Gui to usurp the throne.
If I go to a few more places, I don’t know how much blame I will suffer when I return to the Dengtian Palace. He was good-looking, but not stupid, so even though Wu Gen held his thigh tightly and refused to let him leave, Zhang You still forced himself to leave with Ming Zheng.
The Fearless Army wandered around the edge of Zhu's and Shaji's houses, but did not go deep. However, they frightened the two families so much that they wanted to send heavy troops to attack, but they were afraid that the main force of the Fearless Army would return and kill them completely. Shui Congyue and Baoxiang have already experienced their cruelty. It is possible that the Hulan family wants to take away all their family wealth. According to the current situation, it is not a bad thing to let the Hua family take the upper hand, but they have to be small anyway.
So the Fearless Army stopped at the junction of the Zhu and Shaji families and did nothing for the whole day.
On this day, Wu Gen was resting in his tent when Yang Zheng came over on a shuttle. As soon as he entered the tent, he drank a large pot of water.
"How's it going?" Wu Genfang said after he took a breath.
"We have entered Zuoheng Road. I have informed Chu Xi to send troops to Gaoyuan City." Yang Zheng wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth.
"good
, I will return to Zuoheng Road. Wu Gen let out a sigh of relief, "I have contacted Yu Hao there."
"We got in touch. She was a little reluctant at first, but she finally agreed to serve in the Fearless Army." Yang Zheng took out Yuhao's reply from his sleeve, "In addition, the Fowler sent a reply saying that they are not willing to assassinate. Cheyun Road."
Wu Gen took the letter and looked at it, and finally sighed. When we left Liangzhe Mountain this time, in addition to dealing with the Hua family, we originally wanted to use the power of the bird catchers to get rid of Che Yunlu. To this end, we secretly prepared ten shuttles to assist in the battle. It seemed that this road was not feasible.
