In Liangzhe Mountain, Wu Gen was walking in the mountain with his hands behind his back. After more than a month of conditioning, the injury to his soul had healed.
Stretching his hand to the sky, there were flowing clouds gathering in the mountains. Wu Gen sighed and had to try his best to suppress his cultivation, so as not to accidentally trigger a thunderstorm.
Looking up, the road leading to Xianwan City in the distance was crowded with people, and many merchants were driving carriages back and forth.
Nowadays, there are major construction projects everywhere. Wuchuan Pass and Rouxuan Pass have been basically completed, and Guancheng is being improved. Under the management of Chen Hong, Ji Yan and others, the number of vendors in various places has continued to increase.
Since Liangzhe Mountain is located in the middle of three provinces, after the fearless army opened the road, these traders can avoid detours when traveling to various provinces, and they can also buy some specialties from Liangzhe Mountain in the middle. Why not.
Merchants pursue profit first, and human life is cheap because of money. Although some areas in Liangzhe Mountain are still not peaceful, and ferocious beasts come and go from time to time, the huge profits still attract many people.
Considering the safety of these caravans, at Sun Hong's suggestion, the Rebel Army would be on guard in the mountains on weekdays to rescue those caravans that were attacked by ferocious beasts to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes.
According to Sun Hong's plan, if Liangzhe Mountain is managed well, it will be enough to get rid of dependence on the three counties of Ji State. Forgetting danger will lead to danger, and relying on others is not a long-term solution. If there is any recurrence in Ji Guo, then the fearless army will be stuck by the neck.
Looking at this increasingly prosperous city from a distance, Wu Gen not only did not feel relieved, but instead felt worried. The growing prosperity in Liangzhe Mountain will inevitably attract the covetousness of some people. Coupled with Hengmen Port, a place where wealth gathers, there will definitely be many more overt and covert attacks against the Fearless Army in the future.
Wu Gen discussed with Yu Hao and Yang Zheng for a long time how to hurt these gangsters and make them retreat. However, they always suffered from the lack of opportunity to take action.
Now that Yuhao has returned to the Dengtian Palace, she has a duty and cannot stay away for a long time. Yang Zheng has also sent Ning Yuxi to Bailing Province to inquire about the situation of each family and deploy his own personnel.
Wu Gen has been polishing his body and soul these days. According to Shui Congyue's instructions, he should prepare his energy and spirit fully before going to face the disaster. In this case, he will be more sure of breaking through the situation, so as to avoid the backlash. Buji died under the thundercloud.
In the distance, a tall rider was rushing towards him on horseback. His name was Xia Xia Chu. He was the young master of the Xia Xia family. He was used as a hostage by Xia Xia Kei in the Fearless Army.
This boy was only fourteen years old, but he was already muscular and round-waisted. He was born with supernatural powers and was no less powerful than an adult man. As usual, Wu Gen placed him among the Eight Riders of Ling Yun. He was quite arrogant when he first arrived, but under the tireless training of Niu Chao and Ji Chenming, he finally understood the truth that force is not strength, so he has become a lot more stable these days.
"Master of the village, there are people from the Hua family in the city. Ye Canjun sent me to find the master of the village." Xia Chu jumped off the horse in a hurry. He almost knocked Wu Gen down because he ran too fast.
Looking at this young man who was a head taller than him, Wu Gen was furious and kicked him, "You are also a young master. You are so rough. How will you lead the army in wars and inherit the throne in the future?" Your father’s family property.”
Xia Chu took two steps back, but was not angry. After joining the Fearless Army, he watched Wu Gen kick and kick Niu Chao and other soldiers every day, and he had long been accustomed to Wu Gen's rude way of leading troops.
In fact, this is a secret known to everyone in the army. If the leader of the village is too polite to someone, either the person is about to die, or the person is an outsider. Those who were scolded and beaten all day long were his closest friends.
"I don't want to inherit the family business. I want to become a general in the army and fight all the way to Beizhou." Xia Chu said, scratching his neck.
"If you're like this, you can fight to Beizhou and defeat Niu Chao and the others." Wu Gen looked at the young man and teased.
When Niu Chao was mentioned, Xia Xia Chu felt a little frustrated. In terms of force, it is not that he cannot beat the opponent, but Niu Chao never relies on force to win. In addition, Ji Chenming, Gao Zhen and others will be dealt with badly every time even if they win.
"Master, they are playing dirty tricks." Xia Xia Chu was a little angry.
"Stupid, those who rely on their fists to make a living are fools. In a few days, you follow Yang Zheng and Hu Jia around, don't be stupid all day long. Remember,
Those who rely on martial arts die early, and those who rely on fists always end up inferior. "Wu Gen rolled his eyes at Xia Xia Chu, turned around and walked towards Xianwan City.
"Commander Wu, you are well." In the governor's mansion, Hua Jinglan bowed her hands politely, waved, took a booklet from the guard, and handed it to Wu Gen with both hands, "Thanks to the governor's help in this provincial war, Finally, it was successful. On my father's orders, I am sending you a small gift."
Wu Gen took the book and opened it. It was a gift list. It clearly states that there are more than 9,000 human beings, 48 singers, some jade, gold and silver, and other wealth. The gift is not unimportant.
"Thank you Lord Hua for remembering me as a military leader. It's really troublesome." Wu Gen closed the gift sheet and looked at Hua Chenglan with a smile on his face. "It's cold in the mountains. This action of the lord has solved the urgent need of our fearless army. Come on. Come, let’s have a banquet to congratulate the lord and congratulate the province of Bailing.”
Wu Gen gave the order and set up a banquet on the highest floor of Yunyun Hall in the city. He also brought Hu Jia, Yang Zheng, Zhang Wuyang and others to accompany him.
During the banquet, after three glasses of wine, Hua Chenglan raised his glass and walked to Wu Gen. "I have long heard that the governor is wise and martial, and he manages the army well. This time when I entered Liangzhe Mountain, I saw the many layers of walls, fortifications, and soldiers in the mountain. Everyone is high-spirited and majestic, and this mountain is like a golden city. Looking at Kuntian Continent, I am afraid that no one dares to invade. This is truly the land of overlords."
Wu Gen raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Thank you for your praise, young master. I am the governor of Ji Kingdom, and my fearless army is just begging for food in the mountains. How can I be an overlord? On the contrary, once the Flower Lord came to power, he controlled such a large province and created a lasting legacy." What a great achievement, it’s truly admirable.”
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
"Hahaha, the governor is humbled." Hua Jinglan drank the wine in one gulp, and the smile on his face gradually faded, "Although my Hua family killed the Hulan family, there are still some families in the province who are willing to obey the rules. , it will take several years to really straighten it out. From now on, the Hua family will need a lot of help from the Governor."
Wu Gen also drank it, stood up and held Hua Qinglan's arm, walked to the stone fence, pointed to the rolling mountains in the distance, "Don't worry, brother Hua Xian, as long as the lord gives the order, Wu will definitely fight his way out of this mountain. I will go through fire and water for the Hua family without hesitation."
Hua Chenglan glanced at the north and said with a smile, "The governor is not afraid of the criticism from the man in the north. I heard that because of the previous troop dispatch, the governor was summoned to Zhaoqin City to reprimand him."
Upon hearing this, Wu Gen's face showed displeasure and he snorted coldly, "I worked so hard to pull up the Fearless Army. How could Ji Ye want to control me? Now, I am nothing but It’s because I can’t stand on my own feet that I took on the title of Governor. If you make me anxious, hundreds of thousands of tigers will march north and Hanlu City can be wiped out easily.”
"The Ji family has violated the ancestral system, and many families are dissatisfied with it. The governor will bear with it for the time being. If the Ji family really presses hard, my Hua family is willing to treat the governor as a guest." Hua Jinglan pointed to the west and said with a smile.
"Let's wait and see. If I really can't stay any longer, I will go to the Flower Lord and ask the young master to say a few kind words." Wu Gen slapped the stone railing heavily with an angry expression.
Unexpectedly, the mountain wind suddenly rose, the trees roared, and dark clouds gathered above the head, suppressing them with a powerful force.
Wu Gen was shocked when he saw this and quickly suppressed his cultivation. After a long time, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed.
Hua Chenglan looked at it and his expression moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound.
The banquet was very lively. Seeing this, Yang Zheng summoned the women in Yunyun Hall to dance among the banquets. Their graceful dancing postures made Hua Clan praise her endlessly.
After each person drank three jars of wine, Hua Jinglan ended the banquet on the grounds that he was too drunk.
After the guards helped him to rest, Hu Jia and others gathered around Wu Gen, "Master, this person is here for more than just giving gifts."
Wu Gen chuckled, turned around and walked back to his private residence, "Of course he is not giving a gift, but he is just trying to stabilize the Bailing Province because he does not want our Fearless Army to get involved."
"Master of the village, the Hua family has appointed An Sijia as the head of the Ten Thousand Houses of Zuoheng Road." Yang Zheng followed and reported in a low voice.
"An Sijia?" Wu Gen stopped and thought thoughtfully, "An Siwei dared to take this job. It seems that the future
We didn't fight hard enough on Zuoheng Road last time. Send a letter to Chu Xi and ask him to respond appropriately. I originally thought it would be the Mo Zhi family, but I didn't expect that the An Si family would pick the peaches. "
"Baishuitai will also be watching. Ning Yuxi has also arrived at Zuoheng Road." Yang Zheng nodded in agreement and touched his belt.
"Very good. Zuoheng Road is the foundation for me to go to sea. I can't let it go." Wu Gen continued to move and said as he walked: "I have prepared to overcome the disaster. During the days when I am not here, you can each perform your duties. If anything happens, don't worry. Panic, the sky won’t fall.”
Hu Jia frowned and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Captain, why don't you go through the tribulation in Liangzhe Mountain? There are people here to protect you and it's safer. Now our Fearless Army has gained some fame in Kuntian Continent, and more and more people are watching it. , it’s better to act safely.”
"Qiyin gave me a divination, saying that the calamity will be at sea, so I will not be in the mountains to deal with the calamity. I will go to the sea to find a secret place to survive the calamity." Wu Gen looked to the south and saw that Hu Jia wanted to survive the calamity. He persuaded me again, waved his hand and said, "My dear friend has agreed to go with me. With her protection, some people have to think twice before taking action."
"Master of the village, I am willing to go with you." Zhang Wuyang said from the side.
Wu Gen smiled and shook his head, "It's just about overcoming the tribulation. You stay in the army. There is no war in the mountains now. You have to think about your cultivation. You can't stand still. If you don't break through, , I will throw you to the White Mountains."
Seeing that they could not persuade Wu Gen, Hu Jia and Zhang Wuyang had no choice but to keep silent, secretly wondering whether they should persuade Baoxiang and others.
A few days later, Wu Gen summoned the main generals of the Fearless Army and formally announced that he was going out to overcome the tribulation. Since he might be away for a longer time this time, Wu Gen clearly ordered the generals to perform their duties. If the matter was unresolved, he could Let Shui Congyue decide with one word.
For a moment, everyone was talking. Hu Jia originally wanted to encourage everyone to persuade Wu Gen to stay in the mountains to tide over the disaster. However, although Baoxiang and Shui Congyue were slightly anxious, they did not say anything. It was obvious that Wu Gen had already said hello in advance.
Although everyone was surprised, everyone was used to Wu Gen being the hands-off boss. Even if he left, there would be no chaos in the army. Seeing that there was no possibility of reversing the situation, Hu Jia could only give up with a sigh.
In the days that followed, there were often dark clouds hovering over Xianwan City, which was a sign that Wu Gen's cultivation was about to become uncontrollable.
When she was anxious, Yuhao finally arrived in Xianwan City. Wu Gen breathed a sigh of relief. If it were a later time, he would be afraid that he would really face the disaster in Liangzhe Mountain.
At night, Wu Gen did not disturb Shui Congyue and others. He only invited Yang Zheng, Sun Hong, Hu Jia and others from Xianwan City to have a night drink in his private house as a farewell ceremony.
During the dinner, recalling the ups and downs along the way, Sun Hong and others couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought that these people would have traveled so far to Kuntian Continent, thousands of miles away, and could make it to this place? Fan Jiye.
The more wine we drank, the less we talked. The silver light of the clear moon shone down, and there was a sense of sadness in the courtyard. Everyone knows that when Wu Gen goes out to escape the tribulation, it is definitely not as easy as he said. If the certainty was so great, how could so many people die under the lightning disaster?
Several people drank cold wine until midnight, and when they saw the silver moon slanting to the west, they staggered away.
Wu Gen stood alone in the courtyard, silently looking at the mountain shadows in the distance. After a long time, when I was about to go back to my room to rest, I heard the sound of water in the pool behind the courtyard.
Soon, Muji sent Mo Zhibi in.
"Abi, it's so late, why don't you rest?" Wu Gen stepped forward and scolded.
Mo Zhibi bit his lip and looked straight at Wu Gen, "The fortune teller said, I'm afraid this trip..."
"I know." Wu Gen interrupted Mo Zhibi and rubbed his head lovingly, "It will be fine."
"Yu Zu asked me to give this to you." Mo Zhibi took out a fish-shaped jade pendant and handed it to Wu Gen.
Wu Gen took the jade pendant and held it tightly in his hand. After a long time, he sighed: "It's late at night, let's rest."
