"I know I'm going to die, but it won't bring harm to my family. I hope Master Wu can let An Si's family go. The murder of Master Wu last time was all done by me." In Wu Gen's small courtyard in Lingyun City, An Siyuan smiled bitterly and bowed his head to Wu Gen.
Shortly after Ha Bao was executed, An Siyuan led people to Lingyun City, bringing with him the body of Hua Chinglan.
When Hua Chulan fled eastward to Shule Province, An Siyuan pretended to go with him, but ambushed him halfway and annihilated the remaining troops of the Hua family. After Hua Chulan was seriously injured, he saw that he could no longer escape and couldn't bear the betrayal and separation. He drew a knife and killed himself on the spot.
After the war, An Siyuan did not take the opportunity to escape, but took Hua Chulan's body straight to Lingyun City.
Wu Gen stood up from the recliner and said, "My old friend, why are you like this? Come and serve tea."
Following the instructions, someone brought tea. Wu Gen motioned for An Siyuan to take a seat, but he opened a bottle of wine.
In the courtyard, Lan Qianye, Yu Feng, Hu Yanmo and others all looked at An Siyuan nervously, fearing that he would be detrimental to Wu Gen.
Wu Gen waved his hands to several people, "You guys, please sit down and drink some wild tea picked from the mountains. Don't worry, Brother An Si is a smart man. Since he is willing to come, he will not do unnecessary things. "
After Yu Feng and others heard this, they quickly sat down at the table and surrounded An Siyuan intentionally or unintentionally.
An Siyuan was not at all restrained. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes looking intoxicated. "Good tea. I heard that the village master cast countless golds in Ha Bao's grave. I wonder what will happen to Wu Village after my death?" Lord, can you also put a few kilograms of tea leaves so that I can smell the fragrance of tea all the time."
"No, Ha Bao was once mine, that's why he was treated like this. As for you, you have repeatedly harmed me, and you still want me to put tea leaves for you in your burial. It's possible that my head was kicked by a donkey." Wu Gen flatly refused, Meizizi took a sip of wine. This wine was more fragrant than tea.
"Master Wu is being stingy and won't let go of the tea. My family may let it go." An Siyuan didn't care and raised his glass to Wu Gen.
"This time to ambush Hua Jinglan, haven't you already sent them to Shule Province?" Wu Gen raised his eyelids with a faint look.
"The leader of the village is really well-informed. Yes, I sent some of my clan members to Shule Province. But the price for a family like the Ansi family to go to a foreign land is to give up their people and power, and they can only rely on someone. A family." An Siyuan held the teacup reverently, as if only the warmth of the teacup could give him a little strength. He was forced to get here. It would probably not be a wonderful feeling for anyone to hand his head over to someone else.
"Without the men and horses, those tribesmen are just lambs to be slaughtered. I believe in the methods of Wu Village Master. It is easy to kill these tribesmen secretly. In addition, I have left some tribesmen on Zuoheng Road. These people have participated in the murder of Wu Village The Lord and the Fearless Army can be killed. I can also provide Lu Lie’s whereabouts and Hua Chulan’s head. Can these be exchanged for the lives of the tribesmen."
Wu Gen looked at An Siyuan's face and suddenly smiled, "You are really a ruthless person, but also a smart person. Showing weakness to others is a good way to survive. Since you can't escape, kill your tribe and your own. My life is entrusted to me, and there is no way I can find a chance of survival.
You are a person with extraordinary intelligence and decisive actions, but your vision is too small, so you are trapped in a small place like Zuoheng Road. Otherwise, Brother An Si would not be able to achieve his current achievement, and it would not be difficult to own a province.
Although you may appear to be modest and elegant, you actually have a kind of arrogance in your bones and look down on anyone. Just like now, even though he is so humble, he still looks down on me. Even if I let you live, you will attack me again in the future.
An Siyuan, I need Zuoheng Road and Hengmen Port. There cannot be any potential dangers here. Therefore, please allow Brother An Si to die in peace. I promise you that I will not kill the Ansi family members in Shule Province as long as they no longer attack our fearless army. "
An Siyuan stared at Wu Gen blankly, shook his head slightly, laughed at himself and said sadly, "The leader of the village knows me, but it seems that I have no way out. Okay, may I ask the leader of the village, when will he die, so that I can have a better life?" Prepare."
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. The tea has been drunk, the person has been let go, and the heart has been spoken. Please die." Wu Gen stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"So urgent."
"If you don't die for a day, you won't be able to sleep or eat well." Wu Gen raised his head and did not take back his outstretched hand.
At this time, Yu Feng, Lan Qianye and others all stood up and stared at An Siyuan. As long as the opponent makes the slightest move, these people will probably swarm up and chop him into minced meat.
An Siyuan drank all the tea in the cup greedily and looked up into the distance.
It was almost dusk, and the strong red sunset rushed from the sea, passing over the fence of the yard and passing through the ancient trees in the yard. Like the long streamers in front of the mass graves, it pulled out countless sad words. Red silk.
On the streets of the city, people who had been busy all day just returned home in twos and threes. The sound of the flute floated faintly in the air, hoarse and melodious, like a human being.
The world is so nice, but it’s almost dusk.
With a flick of his long sleeves, An Siyuan strode outside the courtyard, and someone quickly followed him.
"Master, please keep his whole body." Chu Xi couldn't bear it. To be fair, An Siyuan did a good job both as a person and as a friend. Who would not want to give such a person a chance?
But there was something strange about Wu Gen today. He seemed to be very impatient, and he made the decision to kill so decisively and even indifferently.
"No need, weeding must be done to cut the grass. Those who are dead are the safest." Wu Gen stared at the distant horizon with cold eyes. As the sun sank, darkness began to spread from below the horizon, making his eyes clear. As dark as a deep pool.
It is dark, there is no moon tonight, and the stars are sparsely dotted in the sky. Wu Gen stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, his eyes looking at the black mountains in the distance.
As the watchman's clapper sounded, the lights in the city were extinguished one after another, and the endless darkness pressed over like a mountain, making Wu Gen's body look much thinner. Like a withered grass in the wind, it is desolate and silent, and may be blown away by the wind at any time.
"Master of the Village." A clean voice sounded in the courtyard. The voice was not high, but it was like the morning light driving away the darkness, like the spring breeze blowing away the chill.
Wu Gen woke up from his trance and turned his body awkwardly, "Abi, you are here."
"The diviner was worried and asked me to come over." Mo Zhibi held a white dove with a sharp beak in his hand. The dove had a strange vertical eye on its forehead.
"Did the diviner say something?" Wu Gen let out a sigh of relief. With Mo Zhibi by his side, he felt inexplicably at ease.
"Wind and fire attack each other, bringing good and bad luck together." Mo Zhibi hesitated for the first time and repeated Bu Qiyin's words.
Wu Gen didn't speak. He lowered his head and meditated for a moment, then straightened his back, "What is supposed to come will always come. I think I also walked through a foreign continent and crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, so what's the point of fear? Wind and fire invade each other. , then let’s see if it’s wind or fire.”
"The diviner ordered me to follow the leader of the village these days. He said that you are afraid of the dark alone and will have random thoughts." Mo Zhibi gently lit the lantern under the eaves, and the light ran briskly in the courtyard, driving the darkness to the corners. Nook.
As the light appeared, Wu Gen's somewhat dull inner life emerged. He was not a sad, gloomy and sensitive person. As long as there was a trace of living water from the source, he would naturally become clear quickly.
"Then I'm going to have to work hard for you these days. What else did the diviner tell me?" Wu Gen picked up the lounge chair on the ground and prepared to return to the house. The night was already dark and the dew had condensed. Mo Zhibi's body couldn't bear it.
"The fortune teller said, if you see his father, please let him go." Mo Zhibi said seriously, "For the rest, it depends on the mood of the village leader."
Wu Gen carried the recliner, stopped for a moment, and then said with a smile, "The overall situation has been decided, it's just a small matter, isn't it Lu Lie and Bu Kuan. Speaking of which, old man Bu can't hide like this anymore. He left the Iron Hand Company Come on, it’s time to come out and do something. Otherwise, why should I support his daughter, son-in-law, and son?”
With Mo Zhibi by his side, Wu Gen's mood improved significantly. These days, after taking care of the affairs of the city and sending troops to various places on Zuoheng Road to take over the territory, Wu Gen found that he had nothing to do. Unable to suppress the restlessness in his heart, he turned around and returned to Hengmen Port.
Due to the end of the war, Hengmen Port has reopened and ships of all sizes have begun to reappear in the port.
After Gu Yangsi took over Yingke Island, he quickly cleaned up the island.
The order ensures the smooth flow of shipping routes and provides a steady stream of taxes for the Fearless Army. This is the confidence that supports the Fearless Army to form a navy.
Adhering to the principle of not raising idle people, Yuhao has returned to Dengtian Temple to investigate the details of Tu Gao, while Mingzheng is staying in Hengmen Port to look for a place to build ships, preparing to start building sea ships after the north is settled.
Wu Gen became the most leisurely person again. Every day, he took Mo Zhibi, went fishing on the sea, or wandered in the mountains and rivers. From time to time, he exchanged his thoughts on Soul Song, and he lived a leisurely life.
"The leader of the village." Wu Gen returned from the sea that day. As soon as he landed on the shore, he saw Zhuo Ke standing on the shore, waiting for his return.
"Hahaha." Wu Gen couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhuo Ke. He felt indescribable joy in his heart. He stepped forward and punched him several times. "You're finally here. How have you been along the way?"
"Fortress Master, I've kept you waiting for a long time. It's safe on the road. Our fearless army is traveling everywhere now, but not many people dare to provoke us. We provide you with delicious food and drinks. I wish you could leave as soon as possible." Zhuo Ke has obviously matured a lot. Originally, There was a little more wind and frost on the young face at this time.
"Let's go for a walk and have a drink." Wu Gen was obviously in a good mood today. He took Zhuo Ke to his courtyard and asked Yu Feng to accompany him.
After drinking for three rounds, Wu Gen put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhuo Ke and Yu Feng with a look of relief, "Zhuo Ke came at the right time this time. I am going to reorganize the navy and recruit men from the rear army to replace the existing sharks. As for the Those who are replaced will be incorporated into the rear army, hone their skills on land for a period of time, and then return to the navy."
Zhuo Ke was not much surprised. He had already decided to take over the navy. He thought about it and asked, "Who will lead the rear army?"
"I plan to transfer Ha Ying from the front army to lead the rear army, and at the same time, integrate the fearless soldiers and horses of Zuoheng Road into the rear army, and then send troops to inspect various places to completely wipe out all the forces, large and small, and truly develop Zuoheng Road into a It's a piece of cake." Facing the two of them, Wu Gen didn't need to hide his thoughts and directly stated his plans.
Zhuo Ke glanced at Yu Feng, considered his tone, and suggested sincerely: "Fortress leader, I know you are a little disappointed with the Zuo Heng Road troops, but you don't have to withdraw them all, you can still set up a partial force. Press According to the village master's plan, the Fearless Army will definitely leave Kuntian Continent. The foundation here always needs people to guard it. It might as well keep this army to guard Zuoheng Road.
In the future, several more people can be assigned to take on the responsibility of guarding the territory of Liangzhe Mountain and Shule Province in Shannan respectively. In this way, the separation of the various armies can also avoid the situation where one family dominates and monopolizes power, and another Habao emerges. Of course, if you feel that these troops are not easy to coordinate, you can set up a governor, like the human race, to control each army, but without military power, to ensure that after our main force goes to sea, there will be no civil strife on land. "
After hearing what Zhuo Ke said, Wu Gen was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that Zhuo Ke could already think of it to this extent. There was silence for a long time. Seeing that Zhuo Ke was a little uneasy, Wu Gen laughed and said, "Good boy, you have grown up. It seems that you have learned a lot these days. Okay, I'll do whatever you want. From now on, I can't treat you like a child anymore." Read it."
"I have been fighting in the army these days, and Captain Shui asked me to read more books and learn more about it." Zhuo Ke looked shy and a little embarrassed.
"Not bad, not bad." Wu Gen was elated, "Come on, have a drink, you all have become more capable, this is what makes me happiest."
Putting the wine glass on the table, Wu Gen was about to speak, but for some reason the wine glass suddenly rolled to the ground. Looking at the broken wine glass, Wu Gen's face became a little ugly.
"Fortress leader, what's wrong?" Zhuo Ke asked quickly when he saw Wu Gen's worried expression.
"It's nothing. You've come a long way, so you should rest early." Wu Genqiang forced a smile to comfort him.
