The Gray Immortal Corridor is only a few dozen meters away.
After a while, they were almost at the end, and Duan Wenjun also had some concerns in his heart.
When he was in the army in his previous life, he also learned a lot about ancient warfare.
There has also been some research on urban defense in the cold weapon era.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why Qiuyun called this place the Gray Immortal Corridor.
In fact, this name is really very appropriate.
"Father, I remember you said that the situation in the first year of Shunwu was somewhat critical, and a large number of bandits broke into the castle. At that time, did you make dumplings for them in the Gray Immortal Corridor?" Duan Wenjun suddenly stopped and asked.
"Did you make dumplings?" Duan Daxiong was stunned when he heard this.
"Just wipe them all out here." Duan Wenjun explained.
"How did you know?" Duan Daxiong was surprised.
When he described the bandit rebellion in the first year of Shunwu to Duan Wenjun, he just said lightly that the bandits had entered the fort and were wiped out by them, turning them into fertilizer for Mount Laoshan.
However, when he mentioned it at this moment, he still felt lingering fear.
If the terrain of the Gray Fairy Corridor hadn't exposed them all to arrows, Duan Daxiong couldn't imagine what the final result would be.
However, what made him even more strange was how Duan Wenjun knew that he had wiped out them in the Gray Immortal Corridor.
"Since the bandits have sent people to open the gate, they naturally have to enter the castle through the Gray Fairy Corridor." Duan Wenjun pointed to the arrow towers on the city wall. "But the Gray Fairy Corridor is completely exposed to the surveillance of the arrow towers on both sides." There is no place to hide. Once discovered, you will naturally be treated as a living target."
Duan Daxiong was stunned, and Gu Hongfu who was following him was also stunned.
They had experienced the battle that night firsthand.
They naturally understand the situation.
At that time, the bandits opened the gate of Duanjiabao and broke in.
However, after entering the Gray Immortal Corridor, just as Duan Wenjun said, everyone became a living target.
Countless arrows were shot from the arrow tower and from the shooting holes in the courtyard, and they were all wiped out in just a moment.
It was more of a one-sided massacre than a war.
It was also at that time that Duan Daxiong knew the true meaning of Qiu Yun's statement that the Gray Immortal Corridor was the second line of defense for Duanjiabao.
However, Duan Daxiong didn't understand why Duan Wenjun guessed so accurately.
Seeing that he had guessed correctly, Duan Wenjun just smiled lightly and said nothing more.
I have to say that Qiuyun’s design is really clever.
If an ordinary bandit comes in through the gate, it will be very difficult to pass through the Gray Immortal Corridor.
Even Wangjiang County does not have such a defense system.
However, the Gray Fairy Corridor also has great limitations and a fatal flaw.
It can defend against ordinary thieves, but it is not easy to defend against masters.
Especially those who are good at flying over the roof and walking over the wall.
However, Duan Wenjun did not talk about this to Duan Daxiong.
Maybe, when I have the opportunity in the future, I can improve it myself.
As he spoke, he had reached the end of the Gray Immortal Corridor.
Before my eyes, it suddenly became clear.
The first thing that comes into view is a small square.
Opposite the square is the old residence of the Duan family.
The painted red gates, clusters of houses, and lush woods all have a different kind of scenery.
Gu Hongfu had already ordered his servants to prepare dinner.
Duan Daxiong sympathized with the team's hard work for a day and asked everyone to go down to rest first, leaving only Gu Hongfu to stay and serve.
"Uncle Gu, you haven't eaten yet!" Sitting down opposite Duan Daxiong, Duan Wenjun looked at Gu Hongfu who was standing next to him and said, "Don't stand, sit down and eat together!"
Gu Hongfu was stunned when he heard this, but did not move.
When the master's family is having dinner, how can there be any reason for the servants to sit and eat together?
Duan Daxiong was also stunned when he heard this.
For so many years, ever since he could remember when he was a child, Gu Hongfu would always stand by and wait on him every time he ate, waiting for him to finish before going down to eat.
He had already gotten used to it and didn't think too much about it.
Duan Wenjun's words made him think that it was getting late now and Uncle Gu was old and must be starving.
It is a good thing that my son can be considerate...
He waved the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Uncle Gu, there are no outsiders here, so just sit down and eat together!"
"My boss, my young boss, this..." Gu Hongfu showed a troubled expression.
Although there are no outsiders, this is the rule.
How can the rules be messed up?
But he couldn't refuse, Duan Wenjun had already stood up, hugged his shoulders and pressed him to the seat next to him, "Uncle Gu, you are the steward of our Duanjiapu, we still have to rely on you! If you starve to death, who will Are you here to help my father manage Duanjia Fort?"
With that said, Duan Wenjun picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his bowl.
Gu Hongfu didn't refuse anymore and started to eat carefully.
Six dishes and one soup, although it is not luxurious, but it is rich in both meat and vegetables.
It's just that the taste of the food made by the chef is not satisfactory.
Duan Wenjun also understood why Duan Daxiong brought two cooks from the Duan Mansion.
"Father, you came back to Duanjiapu this time not just to visit the grave!" Duan Wenjun picked up his rice bowl, then looked at Duan Daxiong and spoke.
Duan Daxiong nodded, "Of course! Duanjiabao is the most important property of my Duan family, and it will be left to you sooner or later. So, I want to show you around."
Gu Hongfu, who was chewing rice, stopped and was slightly shocked.
Could it be that the master is preparing to teach the young master how to take care of the family business?
"Thank you, father!" Duan Wenjun smiled, and then said, "I heard that Mr. Wang Quanzheng, the doctor in the household department, came to Wangjiang, and it seems that he will stay for a while."
Duan Daxiong was stunned when he heard this. When did his son care about such a thing?
"Master Wang's mother is a biological sister to the Lin family's mistress." Duan Daxiong paused. "It's human nature for people to come over to visit relatives."
"I heard that Mr. Wang is in charge of money and grain in the household department. In previous years, he was responsible for collecting the royal grain and annual cloth for the imperial court." Duan Wenjun said again.
"Not bad!" Duan Daxiong nodded again, "It is precisely because of Mr. Wang's relationship that the Lin family was able to get this year-old cloth business in previous years. Although the Lin family is not mainly a year-old cloth merchant, the annual royal orders are also a huge sum. Fee’s income.”
When he said this, Duan Daxiong suddenly remembered that on the way here, Duan Wenjun once mentioned it and asked if anyone in Duanjiabao was raising silkworms. His heart suddenly shivered: "Wenjun, are you trying to plot this emperor's business?" ?”
"I remember that Mr. Wang came to you last year and wanted to recommend our Duan family to be the royal grain merchant, right?" Duan Wenjun asked again.
Duan Daxiong was shocked again.
He didn't know why Duan Wenjun suddenly became so concerned about these things.
Although he also felt that Duan Wenjun seemed to be a different person since he woke up.
However, this change is really too big!
Especially if he focuses on the royal grain merchant, it will be difficult to handle.
It seems that I have to make it clear about the pros and cons.
"Master Wang came to me last year, but I rejected him." Duan Daxiong sighed slightly, "There are some things that you still won't understand."
"The Lin family has always coveted the position of being the head of the four major families in Wangjiang. My father and the head of the Lin family are actually at odds with each other." Duan Wenjun picked up an eggplant and put it in his mouth. "My father is worried that if he agrees to cooperate with Wang Quanzheng, If he makes a stumbling block again..."
"Wenjun, be careful what you say and act with caution!" Duan Daxiong's face changed slightly and he directly interrupted Duan Wenjun's words.
Duan Daxiong has been in the shopping mall for decades.
He deeply understands that some things, even if everyone knows them well, should not be said openly.
Duan Wenjun changed the subject again and continued.
"In order to save me, my father sold off most of the property in the south of Wangjiang City. I heard that the Lin family sent people to build the secret village, so we sold it for less than half the price."
"The Lin family has always wanted to surpass the Duan family, so my kidnapping is an opportunity that they will never let go."
"Or maybe they've been waiting for this day."
"Now, they finally got their wish, and the Lin family has become the richest man in Wangjiang."
Hearing Duan Wenjun's words, Duan Daxiong seemed to realize something, and his expression became extremely ferocious. "Wenjun, are you saying that your kidnapping has something to do with the Lin family?"
"I'm not sure, but it's not impossible." Duan Wenjun became very calm, "Father, why don't you ask someone to help me find out about Wang Quanzheng?"
Speaking of this, Duan Wenjun's face became very solemn.
Now, what he lacks is information.
The only thing Mao San could ask for for him was news from the market.
I wonder if Duan Daxiong can get more useful information for him?
"Do you doubt the Lin family?" Duan Daxiong frowned, "Okay, I'll write a letter to Shangliang and ask!"
