There is always a burning smell in the air of Hengmen Port. Even though they have been ashore for many days, the damage caused by arson by insurgents can still be seen everywhere.
Wu Gen's residence is a private residence of a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. It has a quiet environment and elegant furnishings. It avoids the unpleasant smell in Hong Kong. It is a good place for self-cultivation.
Yu Feng and Lan Qianye have already led people out of Hengmen Port, opening up roads to Lingyun City, Shixing Village and other places, and at the same time annihilating the remaining Hua family soldiers on Zuoheng Road.
When the navy attacked Hengmen Port, they did not have many fierce battles with the Hua family. Therefore, the Hua family left a lot of soldiers on Zuoheng Road. After Hua Chulan left, these defeated soldiers became bandits who caused harm to Zuoheng Road.
Chu Xi has already rushed to Lingyun City with the army to clean up the mess left by Ha Bao. Hengmen Harbor suddenly became quiet, and only Yuhao and Mingzheng came to accompany Wu Gen when they had nothing to do.
Ning Yuxi had rushed here from Shule Province to help Wu Gen rebuild Hengmen Port. At this time, she was sitting in a pavilion, reporting news from various places to Wu Gen.
"Captain of the village, Ha Bao has been captured by Hu Yanmo and is heading towards Hengmen Port. However, according to Hu Yanmo's report, it was not him who captured Ha Bao, but the Qi family. Also sent along with him were Qi Yue's head was also chopped off by the Qi family." Ning Yuxi's voice was as calm as ever, without any fluctuation in her voice.
"Don't go to Hengmen Port. Zhong Lei and the others are buried outside Lingyun City. Let Hu Yanmo send them there. Only one Qi Yue's head is not enough. Some people in the Qi family have been jumping up and down in the past few days, intending to restore their territory and let They decided to send the heads of these people to Lingyun City. Do you really think that the Qi family was not involved in what Qi Yue did? Tell them that if they don't want to send them, the Qi family will be exterminated." Wu Gen sat on the stone bench. Go up, holding on to the railing, and ordered lazily.
"I understand, I will send a letter to the Qi family now." Ning Yuxi turned slightly and respectfully picked up another piece of paper.
"An Sijia wants to see you, and An Siyuan will come over in person." Ning Yuxi looked up at Wu Gen and paused briefly, "I heard that An Sijia sent troops to ambush Hua Qilan's men, and the two sides fought for a day. But An Sijia won in the end."
"Hua Chenglan is in the hands of An Sijia?" Wu Gen frowned slightly.
"It should be, otherwise they wouldn't have come here so openly." Ning Yuxi lowered her eyebrows. This matter was not confirmed, and she felt that she had neglected her duty.
"An Siyuan." Wu Gen tapped the railing with his fingers, and suddenly turned to smile at Ning Yuxi, "I seem to be easy to bully. He An Siyuan has plotted against me several times, and there are three clay figurines. Let's split the fire. I once saw a young master who committed suicide to protect his family after a defeat. Such a person deserves respect even if he is an enemy."
"My subordinate understands." Ning Yuxi nodded, "I will ask An Siyuan to send over his head, or send over the heads of everyone in the An Si family."
Speaking of this, Ning Yuxi hesitated for a moment, "It's just that the army hasn't arrived at Zuoheng Road. With just these sharks, I'm afraid An Sijia won't accept it."
"The general trend is mine." Wu Gen turned over and sat up, pouring a cup of tea for Ning Yuxi and a glass of wine for himself. "Although we don't have many soldiers and horses on Zuoheng Road at the moment, there are more than 100,000 tigers and tigers to the north of me. , He has to obey the An Si family, and he has to obey even if he doesn't. Do you really think that I, Wu Gen, won't massacre the city and exterminate the clan?"
Picking up the tea on the table, Ning Yuxi took a sip slowly, with a smile on her face, "The leader of the village is domineering, please tell An Sijia the original words."
"Also, Hulan Fuyan wants to come to Hengmen Port to meet you." Ning Yuxi put down the teacup and reported another piece of news with a strange expression.
"He is worried that our Fearless Army will really support his rise to power. He told him that the leader of this village only wants Zuoheng Road and Hengmen Port and does not have much ambition. He is not trying to make him a puppet. There is no need to meet, let's He should be his lord well and build an army as soon as possible. Our army will soon use troops against the Xian Yu family, and he will have to fight out the northwest area." Wu Gen slowly took a sip of wine, but did not agree with Hulan Fuyan request.
"My subordinate has taken note of it." Ning Yuxi nodded.
"Is there anything else?" Wu Gen couldn't help but asked when he saw Ning Yuxi still rummaging through the papers on the table.
"Yang Houzheng reminded the leader of the village to pay attention to
It means a person named Tu Gao. This person seems to have some strange origins, and he should have something to do with the Dengtian Temple. "
"Tu Gao?" Wu Gen was a little confused for a moment, why did such a person pop up again.
Therefore, Ning Yuxi's general Tu Gao, who had been in charge of the Hulan family, united with the Hua family to wipe out the entire Hulan family in one fell swoop. This time Hulan Fuyan entered Jincheng to break the formation, but was clearly broken by him, but the other party did not reveal it to the Hua family, which allowed the Fearless Army to enter the city smoothly.
"Dengtian Temple, leave this matter to Yuhao and let her find a way to investigate. If you can't fight for me, you can always investigate someone." Wu Gen ordered angrily. Yuhao has been working all day since entering Hong Kong. Looking around, he saw that there was nothing serious at all, and he still wanted to provide delicious food and drinks, which made the petty Wu Gen feel really unhappy.
"By the way, a message came from Liangzhe Mountain. Mo Zhibi is coming here." Ning Yuxi picked up the last piece of paper. This matter was originally a trivial matter, so she reported it last.
When Wu Gen heard this, his expression changed and he remained silent for a long time.
Ning Yuxi glanced at Wu Gen strangely. Hulan Fuyan disappeared without even saying he didn't see him. Why would he be so afraid of Mo Zhibi, a harmless person, and said, "Master, there is something wrong."
Wu Gen let out a long sigh, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes, "What is supposed to come will always come. Forget it, leave him alone. By the way, Yu Xi, we have something to discuss."
"It doesn't matter if you say it, Master." Seeing Wu Gen's hesitation, Ning Yuxi gradually became more concerned. This matter must have something to do with him.
"Ahem, Yu Xi, on the way to Kuntianzhou, I met a group of pirates and wanted to take them into my own hands. Although Yang Zheng and I buried some nails in advance, you also know these people They see profit and forget their loyalty. As time goes by, I'm afraid they will be won over by the god." Wu Gen straightened his back and looked a little serious.
"So after the situation in Kuntianzhou stabilizes, I want you to stay on Pearl Island permanently to control these pirates and really bring them to our side to serve as a base for our army to move forward.
Pearl Island is not far from Tianyuan Continent. This trip will definitely be full of dangers. I wonder if you are willing to do so. Of course, I'm not trying to drive you away. It's actually far away from Kuntian Continent, and you need someone who understands to make a decisive decision. After thinking about it, except for Yang Zheng, you are the only one who is qualified, and no one else is suitable. I don't know what you think. "
Ning Yuxi bit her lip and lowered her head in thought for a moment, then slowly raised her head, "Yu Xi is willing to go, but his skills are low and he is afraid that the pirates will not accept it."
"I will choose someone from the fifth realm to accompany me. At the same time, Shen Lang will also take care of Pearl Island if nothing happens. You don't have to worry about force. The key is to win the hearts of those pirates." Wu Gen said quickly, as long as If the other party is willing to go, I can do it even if I give her ten thousand people.
"One more thing, please ask the leader of the village, who will lead the navy after it forms an army." Ning Yuxi suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"I'm going to let Zhuo Ke take charge. He's from Ho Luo and is good at water skills." Wu Gen didn't understand why the other party asked this.
"Okay, I want to take Le Yu with me so that we can take care of each other." Ning Yuxi made another request.
Wu Gen was stunned for a moment, and in an instant he understood the other party's intention. In the future, the navy will have the most contact with Pearl Island. Everyone sees the relationship between Leyu and Zhuo Ke. With Leyu by his side, I think he can help. Moreover, some things have this layer of fetters, and it is impossible to say that they will be a talisman.
Wu Gen thought about it, and he knew that Ning Yuxi also thought about this woman.
"Okay, I will make it clear to Zhuo Ke and Le Yu." In order to reassure Ning Yuxi, Wu Gen agreed to her request.
A few days later, Wu Gen got up and headed to Lingyun City, with Yu Feng and the main leaders of the navy behind him. The team was huge, and wherever he passed, shepherds were watching from a distance.
In many years, this was the first time that a human race was walking so openly on Zuoheng Road. Although they had heard of the existence of the Fearless Army in the past, most of the people who showed up were herdsmen among them.
Now seeing so many people surrounding a human race, these herdsmen are quite emotional. Zuo Henglu's innocence is about to change.
It was almost dusk when we arrived in front of Lingyun City. Chu Xi and Huan Shanu had already led people to greet them outside the city.
The sun sets over the mountain, leaving a trace of red on the horizon, along with the city top and the peaks.
The room was dyed a thrilling red. Under the tall mountains next to the city, shadows have appeared, red and black mixed together, looking strange and unreal, making people feel confused when they see it.
The lonely evening wind blew through the mountains, making a low moan. The light became more and more desolate, a little desolate, and a little more desolate.
Looking at this small town, Wu Gen actually felt shy about going to the countryside. Is this city hidden in the mountains still the village that I worked so hard to build? Are these people in the city still the same old people? People are not like cities, things in the world are like dreams, and how many people will always be with you in the ups and downs of the sea of people.
"Captain of the village, come into the city." Chu Xi stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice.
Wu Gen turned over and dismounted, and Suoji stepped forward and quickly took Wu Gen's mount. Worried that Wu Gen's troops and horses were weak and that the rear army would not be able to resist in time, Shui Congyue ordered him to rush over in advance with the Rebel Army.
At the city gate, more than a hundred fearless soldiers were lining up to greet them. These people were all rear troops brought back by the Rebel Army. They had just experienced the war, their clothes were unwashed, and their blood was still there. Their fierce killing intent soared to the sky, which actually diluted the desolation on the top of the city.
Lan Zhong and others looked at these murderous soldiers and couldn't help but feel frightened secretly. They had heard for a long time that their brothers on the mainland were good at fighting and were invincible in two provinces. When I saw it today, it turned out that the reputation was true.
Originally, the sharks were somewhat complacent about winning Hengmen Port in this battle, but now comparing the two, Lan Zhong and others suddenly felt uneasy.
According to Wu Gen's instructions, the sharks must not only fight at sea, but also go ashore to join the rear army and participate in land wars. Qualified talents can then join the navy. The eyes of Lan Zhong and others became more solemn at the thought of being in the company of these fierce soldiers.
"How is the situation in the north?" Wu Gen asked as he walked. He needed to get a more vivid picture of the battle situation from Suoji's mouth, rather than through words on paper.
"Don't worry, Master, everything is going well in the north." Suo Ji followed him with a smile and said as he walked, "We and the people from Ji State have held back the Xianyu family's troops, and the two sides have agreed on a truce. It's just that Hu Sima's request He ordered the other party to occupy some cities, thinking that he would have an excuse to send troops in the future.
In a few days, after the Hulan family's first army is reorganized, Hulan Fuyan will ascend to the position of lord again. At present, the rear army is rushing here, the right army and the middle army are turning back to Liangzhe Mountain, and Shui Xiaowei and the left army are still stationed near Jincheng to ensure that Hulan Fuyan can smoothly take over. "
"Where are the prisoners?" Wu Gen asked casually.
Suo Ji knew what he meant, and couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, village master, our fearless army is helping people fight, there is no reason to lose money. We went out with 120,000 people, and came back with more than 200,000 people. Now the prisoners are being held by Bao Xiao Lieutenant Colonel Zhang and Captain escorted him back to the mountain.
Captain Shui was leading his men to strangle those families that had launched an army against the Hua family. The territories of these families were all handed over to the Hulan family to help them form an army as soon as possible. Are the people inside? Yang Houzheng is currently trying to persuade them to seek refuge in Liangzhe Mountain. "
Wu Gen nodded with satisfaction. There were still too few people in Liangzhe Mountain, but now he could feel more angry.
While walking, Wu Gen saw Hasan, Hu Yanmo and Zhang Yanpu standing on the roadside with shameful expressions. He quickly stepped forward and patted their shoulders one by one, "Thank you for your hard work and suffering."
Hashan and others quickly knelt down on one knee, "This subordinate has really insulted the trust of the village leader."
"Everyone, get up." Wu Gen pulled them up one by one. "The incident on Zuoheng Road has nothing to do with you. It is actually dictated by the general trend. From now on, this place will really belong to our fearless army. Can we hold it? It's up to you. By the way, where is he?"
Hashan and the others knew who they were asking, and said with a sad expression, "Locked up."
Wu Gen stopped and said calmly after a while, "Let me go see him."
