In Wu Gen's private house in Xianwan City, a slender man stood in the shadow of the locust tree. He was wearing linen clothes common to civilians and had a long shawl around his waist. He looked a little timid and relieved.
The man was Hulan Fuyan, the young master of the Hulan family who had been captured by Wu Gen but escaped. Although he was born as a commoner, Wu Gen was tossed around in various ways at that time.
At this time, he was no longer the gentle and gentle young man. His originally fair and slender fingers had become very rough, and his nails were full of mud.
He was found by Yang at the construction site where he was building Rouxuanguan. When he was found, he was carrying stones with a group of peasants. He was often scolded by the foreman because he was not good at work.
"Young Master Hulan, come in quickly, you won't even say hello to Liangzhe Mountain." Wu Gen walked out of the house, greeted warmly, and winked at Yang Zheng who was standing behind Hulan Fuyan. .
"Young Master Hulan, please." Yang Zheng stepped forward, with flowers blooming on his black face.
"Captain, I have lost my family, and I dare not call you young master anymore. If the governor wants to humiliate me or hand him over to the Hua family, I have nothing to say. I tried to kill the governor that day, and this is my retribution." Hulan Fuyan did not salute, and his face turned pale. Although his face was calm, his slightly trembling fingertips still revealed his mood at this time.
"The past is in the past. To be honest, you and I don't have any big grudges. Now that we are in the Liangzhe Mountains, you might as well relax. Although my place is barren, it is more than enough to support one person. Your business only depends on the three people here today. If people know it, it will never be leaked. Come on, you and I can be considered old friends. It's always okay to come in and have a cup of tea." Wu Gen stepped forward, grabbed Hulan Fuyan's arm without any explanation, and forced him to Pulled into the house.
When they arrived at the house, Wu Gen asked Gao Han to serve tea to several people. Looking at Hulan Fuyan, who was sitting neatly on the chair and feeling a little uneasy, he couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Hulan, although I share the same feelings with the Hua family. Use troops against the Hulan family, but the Hulan family is the Hulan family, and you are you. If you and I meet twice, I will never kill you.
That's good, you can rest easy here and keep your name anonymous, so as not to have the Hua family pursue you. It just so happens that our fearless army is completely depleted and ready to be revitalized. It's time to hire people. I'll find you a job in the city. I will play the drums and write poems on weekdays. What do you think? "
"Thank you very much, Governor. It is enough for Fuyan to be an ordinary soldier in the army. From now on, I am willing to turn the Xiao in my hand into a sword at my waist and cut the road ahead. I ask the Governor to do it." Hulan Fuyan took off the hanging knife. The waist of the long Xiao, which was still as clean as new even after many days of building the city, grabbed both ends with both hands and knocked hard on the knees. The long Xiao was broken into two pieces.
"Hey..." Wu Gen couldn't stop him in time and stared at Chang Xiao who was broken into two parts with a look of pity on his face. This Xiao has the effect of purifying the heart, so it must be a good magic weapon, but at this time, it was mercilessly destroyed by Hulan Fuyan.
"Well, since you are willing to join the army, you should go to the rear army first. From now on, you might as well call yourself Lan Yan, lest anyone tries to harm you." Wu Gen sighed, stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder gently, "Don't worry , as long as I am in the fearless army, no one will dare to touch you."
"Thank you, Commander." Hulan Fuyan bowed deeply to Wu Gen. He opened his mouth several times but no sound came out. He took a few steps back respectfully and turned around to leave the yard.
Looking at his back, Yang Zheng's expression was a little complicated. His own life experience was like that of Hulan Fuyan. He was also deprived of his position and his family was destroyed. "Master, what are your thoughts on leaving him behind?"
Wu Gen shook his head slightly, turned around and walked to the window, "You are overthinking. You just feel that this person's nature is not bad, and you don't want him to ruin his life, so you want to protect him."
"Yang Zheng, I'm going to Zhaoqin City in a few days. Keep an eye on Hanlu City." Wu Gen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he suddenly changed the subject.
Yang Zheng walked up to Wu Gen, shook off his sighs, and said in a deep voice, "Ji Nan has returned to Hanlu City and assumed the position of Tingwei. Our eyes have been set up. Murong Yuqiang is a little unreasonable. If you want to Don’t ask her to change positions.”
Wu Gen turned to look at Yang Zheng and smiled slightly, "She is just a little girl who has just mastered an important weapon and is a little overwhelmed. There is no need to deal with it vigorously. Just make her suffer a little if you have the opportunity."
This time I went to Zhaoqin City because I wanted to borrow the underground palace of the Ji family. This is a forbidden area of the Ji family. No one is allowed to enter the underground palace without the permission of the family owner.
enter. A few days ago, I asked Ji Nan to bring a letter to Ji Ye. I received a reply yesterday and I will be leaving soon.
"You want me to go with you." Yang Zheng suddenly felt nervous.
"No need, Ji Yan will accompany me." Wu Gen waved his hand and went to Zhaoqin City, not a tiger's den or a dragon's pond. These days, Shui Congyue's body gradually recovered, and Ji Yan, who insisted on taking care of him, was also free, so Wu Gen called her back.
Hearing that Ji Yan was going with him, Yang Zheng felt relieved a little, "These days, because the Hua family in Bailing Province is purging the former Hulan family forces, many people have fled to the mountains through Wuchuan Pass. These people should stay or not. Stay. There are so many people, I’m afraid the Hua family will have some ideas. And among these people, there is no chance that there will be female agents assigned by certain people."
"Stay, as many as come. Not only do you have to stay, but you also tell these people that if you can get more people to come, you will also be rewarded with silver. As for the female cadres, what are they? With so many people, it is normal to mix them up. The most lacking thing in Liangzhe Mountain is people. I guess you have heard that Lu Qing and Cang Renjing are about to fight over people." After hearing this, Wu Gen couldn't help but smile and gave instructions quickly.
"I know it in my heart, and I will tell Xue Xin separately." After receiving Wu Gen's letter, Yang Zheng also felt confident.
The Wuchuan Pass area is now garrisoned by Xue Xin's left army. When Wuchuan Pass is completed, preparations will be made for the construction of a second pass. After the southern and western customs defense systems are completed, Liangzhe Mountain will be truly stable.

Seven days later, Wu Gen and Ji Yan boarded a shuttle, and Mu Ji and Mo Zhibi boarded another, secretly flying towards Zhaoqin City.
Flying in the air, Ji Yan leaned against the bulkhead and looked at the passing clouds with a lonely expression. Ji Guo was founded. As a princess, she did not go back to attend the ceremony. She had already seen through these forces and did not want to get involved.
When I returned with Wu Gen this time, I couldn't help but feel a little complicated when I thought about facing my second brother who was already the king, and when I thought about my dead eldest brother.
"After all, you are the princess of Ji Country, and you always have to go back and have a look. After meeting Ji Ye, if you want to stay in Hanlu City, I will send you back. If you don't, the Fearless Army is your home. "Wu Gen couldn't bear to see his sad expression. This time, it was for his own sake that he dragged Ji Yan back alive.
"I won't go back. I no longer have a home in Hanlu City." Ji Yan said calmly, without looking back at Wu Gen.
"Ahem, okay, once this is over, I'm going to build a new mansion for you in Suikong City. This way, it will be easier for you to take care of Cong Yue." Wu Gen's eyes flickered, secretly looking at Ji Yan's expression. .
"I feel like he talks more after coming back this time." Ji Yan's face was filled with a happy smile, she gently smoothed her hair on her temples, held her chin in one hand, and looked at the white clouds on the horizon affectionately, "Wu Gen, tell me, will he stay with me forever? I don’t know how many women will dream about a man like him. I don’t want to dominate him, I just hope to see him from time to time.”
Wu Gen's face turned bitter. He thought about how to answer this, and said seriously: "Cong Yue is a very affectionate person. Once he accepts someone, he will really only stay with her for the rest of his life. Ji Yan, Listen to my advice, Cong Yue is not someone who indulges in the love of his children. I'm afraid it won't be of much use to stay in front of him every day. If you can make some achievements in the Fearless Army, he will look at you with admiration."
"Really?" Ji Yan suddenly turned her head and looked at Wu Gen with surprise.
"It's absolutely true." Wu Gen looked at this woman who was in love for the first time and waved his fist at her.
"Then give me more troops. I will lead the army next time we go on an expedition." Ji Yan finally came to life and moved to Wu Gen, her eyes blazing.
"Ahem." Wu Gen regretted his nonsense just now, "This agricultural and commercial matter is very important. I can't worry about others, so I can only leave it to you. If you want to lead the army, you will have those killers."
"No, I will lead the troops." Ji Yan was determined and stared at Wu Gen fiercely.
"Let me go back and discuss it with Cong Yue." Wu Gen had no choice but to use Shui Cong Yue, a big killer. Sure enough, Ji Yan flinched a little when Shui Congyue was mentioned.
During the quarrel, the shuttle finally arrived at Zhaoqin City.
Outside, it slowly landed at the south gate. Ji Rui was already waiting here. When he saw Wu Gen arriving, he quickly welcomed him and Ji Yan into the city.
As for Muji and Mo Zhibi, they stayed outside the city for the time being. What if Muji accidentally released his magical power and there would be chaos in Zhaoqin City.
After entering the city, Wu Gen and Ji Yan took two cars and walked along the straight road of Zhaoqin City towards the underground palace. Beside the carriage, there were mausoleum guards riding horses on both sides, with Ji Rui leading the way.
The wheels rolled over the stone slabs on the ground. There were not many people around. Wu Gen didn't feel good about this city. It was too quiet, as quiet as a tomb.
The car stopped at a mansion not far from Xiangtang. Compared with other houses in the city, this mansion did not look luxurious, but it was slightly larger in regulations.
At the door, Ji Xie was waiting with his guards. A maid came forward and knelt on the ground to wait for Ji Yan to get out of the car. According to Ji Ye's will, Ji Yan is already the eldest princess of Ji Kingdom, and even Ji Xie has to kneel down to greet her.
Looking at this familiar mansion, Ji Yan's eyes were a little blurry, "Get up, everyone. I, the shepherd, don't have to be as formal as the human race. I just want to be more comfortable."
Wu Gen followed Ji Yan, with a smile on his lips and nodded slightly to Ji Xie who was kneeling on the ground.
"The eldest princess, Governor Wu, the emperor and the queen are waiting for you in the palace." Ji Xie stood up from the ground, turned sideways, and prepared to take the two of them into the palace.
Wu Gen and Ji Yan looked at each other in shock. This trip to Zhaoqin City was only reported to Ji Ye secretly, but Murong Yuqiang was not informed of why she was here.
Suspicious, the two entered Yongning Hall under the leadership of Ji Xie. As soon as they entered the palace, they saw Ji Ye and Murong Yuqiang already sitting in the palace, with servants and maids standing beside them with their hands down.
Seeing Wu Gen and Ji Yan, Ji Ye stood up from his chair and walked a few steps. Nowadays, his eyebrows are more majestic, but his face is much thinner. It seems that this throne is not easy to sit on.
Murong Yuqiang, on the other hand, was dressed in palace attire and was obviously much calmer, but he looked at Wu Gen and Ji Yan with a somewhat wary look.
Seeing Ji Yan was about to kneel down, Ji Ye quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arms. "There are no outsiders today, so don't do those common rituals." Looking past Ji Yan, he found that Wu Gen had no intention of saluting. He looked at the situation in the palace curiously.
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Ji Yan responded awkwardly.
"Everyone else, please go down, Ji Kui and Ji Rui stay." Ji Ye flicked his long sleeves, and the chamberlains and maids in the palace exited one after another, leaving only Ji Kui and Ji Rui standing on both sides.
"Sit." Ji Ye sat back in his seat and waved for Wu Gen and Ji Yan to take their seats.
"Well, he has the air of an emperor." Wu Gen looked Ji Ye up and down, vaguely understanding that the yellow robe had isolated many things.
"Stop making these jokes. To be honest, you really have to enter the underground palace. There are many dangers there. If you are not careful, you will lose your soul." Ji Ye said seriously with a slight smile.
"Yes, I have a hidden illness. I have to go to the underground palace once and use the methods to kill the evil spirits attached to me." Wu Gen suppressed his smile.
"Wu Gen, do you know that outsiders who are not members of the Ji family are not allowed to enter the underground palace, including me." Murong Yuqiang said quietly from the side.
Ji Ye's expression changed and he turned to look at Murong Yuqiang. Without waiting for him to speak, Wu Gen suddenly said in a deep voice, "I am willing to give Ji Guo twenty cities."
