Chapter 45 Prepare to enter the mountain
Ye Yichen didn't wake up until the sky was bright. Although she did not show up and showed her face at this banquet in Yong'an, she was actually even more difficult to do with the responsibility of strategizing. However, it was precisely because of her arrangement that the banquet could appear so luxurious and grand, which opened the eyes of all parties in Yong'an. No matter how powerful the Du family was in the court, now they are only a local force in a corner, and they will definitely not be more authoritative than Ye Yichen for the arrangement of such large-scale banquets. The children of the Tian family, especially the female family, have been trained since childhood to prepare for ceremonies, ceremonies, banquets, etc., and such royal training is not affordable to local families.
After all, Ye Yichen is not the princess who was wearing clothes and eating. Without Wan'er beside her, she had to cook her daily life by herself. These days, in Heishan Fort, Long Nan has arranged two new maids for her, one at the age of eleven and the other at the age of 15. Although she has received some training, whether it is eyesight or work, it is still a hundred thousand miles away from being able to properly cooperate with Ye Yichen's habits. Ye Yichen sometimes finds it interesting. If she had such a stupid maid around her, she would have to get angry a few times a day and would not give her a chance to drive her away directly. Now, she would teach them to do things kindly.
The eleven-year-old Lian Qing has been guarding Ye Yichen's door since the morning, reading with a book, while taking a little thought, looking at the water burning on the small stove next to it. When it cools down, pour it off and make a pot to continue to boil. Wasting some firewood is not a big deal, but if the hostess wakes up and washes her face without hot water, it is her sin. Before Lian Qing comes to Heishan Fort, she follows a female Taoist priest and comes to Yong'an with an adventure team. However, they are not very lucky. As soon as they enter the mountain, they encounter a monster attack, and the female Taoist priest died.
No one was willing to take care of this girl, so he sent someone to send Lian Qing out. He wanted to find a place to settle it. Unexpectedly, the person who sent her out fell down the cliff while looking for water. Lian Qing was a little girl under ten years old in the mountains and was scared all night before she was discovered by the village crowd patrolling the mountain in Heifeng Village at that time and took her back. Lian Qing had a beautiful face, and was taught by female Taoist priests to read and count since she was a child. She was smart and smart, so Jin Ge asked her down to accompany Long Nan. Although Long Nan was younger than Lian Qing, she took care of this young lady everywhere.
Speaking of which, Long Nan was reluctant to recommend Lian Qing to Yichen Ye. The boss is now full of things. It is a big help to have an extra person who can write and calculate. However, after all, Yichen also needs help with the help of being able to write and calculate. Moreover, Lian Qing is too timid and is not suitable to assign work alone, which made Long Nan determined.
"Miss, are you getting up?" Lian Qing quickly pushed open the door and looked in and asked.
"Yeah, I'm up. Get ready for me to wash up."
"Okay, Miss." Lian Qing greeted the waitress Hong, who was watering flowers on the other side of the yard, and asked her to prepare breakfast. Then she ran to the next room to get a basin of sweat towel.
Ye Yichen sighed, but couldn't help laughing. Lian Qing opened the door and looked very polite. If there were too many people coming and going outside, wouldn't she look in the untidy clothes in the room be seen? The yard in Yong'an is just a small yard, and there is no screen in the room. Fortunately, no one can easily enter this small yard. Everything is cooked by the master and servant.
While serving Ye Yichen to wash, Lian Qing looked at Ye Yichen admiringly, but she wanted to ask, but she was a little afraid. Yan Hong couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Miss, after yesterday's big banquet, can Heishan Castle really start the business?"
Yichen Ye smiled slightly and said, "Everyone hopes we can do it. However, now it only means that Heishan Fort is determined to do this, but others don't think we can do this. More importantly, others have to think that only we can do this." Yichen Ye was smart and had a very clear understanding of various human relationships and worldly styles. This was also the basis for her strategizing between various countries on the Imperial Wind. She knew that the two maids didn't want to be related to the word "bandit", but the rest, I'm afraid that for the time being, it would be useless to say more.
"Do you have to do business with us? Can you make a lot of money by hunting in the mountains?" Lian Qing asked in a low voice.
"Yes. This matter depends on how Chengbang is in charge." Lian Qing asked quite well, and Ye Yichen responded with a smile. When talking about Chengbang, Ye Yichen hurriedly asked again: "What is Chengbang doing? Have you gotten up?"
"Get up. The young master didn't drink much yesterday. In the morning, he still lit up as usual, and was in the yard in front." Yan Hong said: "Miss, are you going to call the young master here?"
"No need, I'll go over and see it after I finish eating." Ye Yichen said.
After a while, the situation Ye Yichen saw made her feel a little headache. It seemed that the blue veins on her forehead were pounding again. Cheng Bang was indeed very early. He finished his regular practice in the morning and was playing with Dabai Xiaobai. He was wearing a coarse cloth outfit and was wearing the simplest leather armor on the outside. This simple leather armor has a soft texture, and is mostly made of the scraps of the skin of the monsters he was hunting. The only function is to cushion it on his body, especially
It was the joint to prevent the clothes inside from getting worn. Cheng Bang was in an untuned outfit and was fighting with Dabai. One man and one tiger fell to the ground, and Dabai was slapped Cheng Bang's face with one claw. Cheng Bang wanted to fight back, but Dabai jumped away lightly and rushed Cheng Bang to the ground. On the side, Xiaobai yawned at the two of them, which was neither strong nor technical.
"Hey, are there nothing to do? You really have the time to play with them." Yichen Ye scolded.
When Xiaobai saw Ye Yichen coming, he ran to her side and rubbed her head against her legs. Yichen Ye lied to rub Xiaobai's head and said gently: "You are more obedient."
Lian Qing and Yan Hong started to get familiar with Da Bai Xiaobai after several days. They would not be scared to death when they saw these two big guys. Although Da Bai Xiaobai is a jade-spotted tiger, he is also a monster with a fierce monster, but he is just a smart pet by Chengbang and Ye Yichen. When Chengbang and Ye Yichen were not around or could not get rid of themselves, they were now used to finding food and drinks for others. In Heishan Fort, they naturally looked for Long Nan directly. And after leaving Heishan Fort, they were Lian Qing and Yan Hong.
Cheng Bang quickly jumped up from the ground, came over, and said, "Nothing is going to do today. The luggage and other things are ready. I'll go and have a small gathering with Miss Du and a few others. I'll be ready to leave in the afternoon."
"Is the Du family reliable this time?" When talking about the serious matter, Ye Yichen stopped scolding Cheng Bang. She helped Cheng Bang remove simple leather armor and slap off the dust and soil on her body, and said, "If they understand our way, it will be difficult."
"Where is that easy?" Cheng Bang disagreed: "This time, I only took them into the mountain for two hundred miles. This is the limit that their adventure team can reach for the time being. The territory we are familiar with is more than two thousand miles, right?"
"Well, but you have to make them feel that the entire Ten-Strait Mountains are in our hands. Moreover, there must be unlimited benefits, which are far greater than the risk of continuing to go deeper." Ye Yichen said with a smile: "Otherwise, if they feel that they can't stand the two hundred miles and dare not go deeper, they will know what brain they will think about us that day. The road and supply points from Yong'an to Heishan Fort have been completed, and the future continuous operation will be a big deal. In the future, there are probably many people who can look down on this business, and they have to think about us in various ways."
"Don't worry, it's okay." Cheng Bang patted his chest and promised: "We have been fighting for life and death again and again to have these skills. How could it be so easy to be learned? They have already chosen the target in the forest. This time, we must give the people who follow us into the mountains a chance to gain insight?"
Ye Yichen smiled slightly. Cheng Bang boasted like this in front of her. When he went outside, he would be very polite and modest when he met someone he was not very familiar with. This inexplicable contrast made Ye Yichen feel a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but if he thought about it carefully, he would understand. This guy, after all, was still a teenager in his teenager and grew up in the mountains. He was also a free nature. For outsiders, the rules he had been educated since childhood would work, making him polite and honest. And to his own people, the nature of a young man, plus the little bit of a rush to show his powerful side in front of her.
Movement and naturally released. Ye Yichen knew her mood. Facing such a Chengbang, she might still feel that he was naive, but only she could see. At the beginning, she might still have some thoughts of taking care of her younger brother. But now, she has seen Chengbang turn the tide again and again during the long journey of the mountains in the ten directions, and defeat the enemy again and again and again, and even leading the entire team so brave, but calm and strategic. Ye Yichen now faces this exclusive childishness, but she is full of joy and praise.
"Don't underestimate the heroes of the world. There are others in the Du family. If they don't see them, there will be fewer masters above the Aura Period. What we need to do in our lives may be just a simple task for them. Anyway, just think more."
"Don't worry." Cheng Bang put his hands on Ye Yichen's shoulders, wrapped around her loosely, and said seriously: "We want to make a good fortune in Heishan Fort. There are many other things that we have to make money to do, and I will definitely do it."
Ye Yichen's face turned red, and she quickly waved her body and threw away Chengbang's hands, saying, "Anyway, you must be careful this time. If I want to stay in the Heishan Fort, I can't follow you into the mountain. Without me, the doctor, you must be more at ease. If you are injured, you can go to cry."
Cheng Bang smiled and nodded.
This is the first time leading the team into the mountain, the most important thing is to show off its strength. As an important combat power, Jin Ge is the best candidate to lead the former Black Mountain Fortman, so he naturally has to go together. Even if he will be responsible for the affairs of Yong'an in the future, he must go this time and wants to go very much. So, the temporary position in Yong'an was replaced by Peng Ze and Chen Wenxing. Peng Ze actually had some different ideas. He was not good at spying and attacking in the mountains, and he was forced to be a scout, but he was from the Dayue Court and was very proficient in intelligence. At present, they are in Yong'an, and in the heart of the enemy country, and they can be said to be in danger everywhere.
The machine is naturally very close to intelligence. After talking to Chengbang and Yichen, everyone agreed, so he asked him to take Yong'an as the starting point and find a way to spread their intelligence network. For this reason, he also allocated enough funds. This funds accounted for almost one-third of the money they obtained after cleaning up all their belongings. Chen Wenxing's cultivation is not progressing quickly, but he is loyal and has some experience in planning, so he is a good candidate for Yong'an. However, Chen Wenxing himself does not like to stay away from Yichen and Chengbang for a long time. Therefore, this position is estimated to be the rotation of Chen Wenxing and Jin Ge in the future.
This time, there were not many people in the hunting period, namely Chengbang, Jiang Mei, Jin Ge, Zheluo, and Luo Dayuan and Zhao Baoqing who were already preparing to stop in the mountains. There were only these six people in total. Among them, Zheluo and Jin Ge did not cooperate with everyone. Jin Ge was mainly responsible for coordinating the combat power of the Black Mountain Fort on the periphery. At the same time, he picked up the gaps in the inner circle to prevent accidents. Zheluo used his ability to conceal the raid to serve as a scout for the entire team and a representative of monitoring the other people who followed them into the mountain.
The adventure team sent by the Du family this time is not complete, mainly to see the ability of the Black Mountain Fort. It was just a front-end station and observation. But the sent out was indeed a very powerful combination of carefully selected by the Du family. Among the four core people, two monks, one doctor and the other warlock, the level difference is consistent, both in the middle and late stages of the Aura Period. Among these four people, three are children of the Du family. One of them is a direct child. The lineup alone shows that they attach great importance to cooperation with the Black Mountain Fort. In addition, the adventure team of the Du family also takes the
Twenty servants in the round body stage are responsible for taking care of the daily life of the four people and doing various rough work. Among them is a one-eyed old man, who is in his early fifties and has a cultivation level of at the peak of the late stage of the round body stage, but his combat power is close to the middle stage of the intense period. This old man's servant of the Du family has been loyal to the Du family for the rest of his life and is responsible for leading the entire team. The old man had once had the late stage of the intense period of the intense period, but he finally escaped his life due to several consecutive fierce fighting and serious injuries, but his injuries were unable to fully recover, so he finally reduced to his current cultivation level.
Muen also brought a team to join this hunting trip, but like the Du family, they focus on observation and learning. The team has two cultivators in the Aura Stage and eight round body Stage escorts.
In addition, there was a late-stage monk who Qin Feng wanted to put in. In order to get Black Mountain Fort to agree to him to send this observer, he even asked the monk named Xia Qingzhang to swear in person that he would fully comply with the assignments of the people in Black Mountain Fort and would never act at will.
With these people, although they have good combat power, Chengbang did not expect these people to help from the beginning. The most important thing they rely on to hunt monsters in the mountains is not how high their cultivation is, but their in-depth understanding of the monsters' habits and precise cooperation in the team.
But at least this time, if they feel that these people are in the way, they have to take them with them.
In the afternoon, the group set out to leave Yong'an. It was not until the evening four days later that they arrived at the Black Mountain Fort. Although the fortress group was under construction, a slightly rough building had been built at the foot of the mountain. You can vaguely see the planning of the future town. It is estimated that it is just to have a place to stay in the temporary area.
Xia Qingzhang was surprised to see that Heishan Fort had such a plan at the foot of the mountain so quickly. Although he was still wary of the people of Heishan Fort, he couldn't help but sigh: The action power of these bandits was really strong. Along the way, he was somewhat out of place with this team. Apart from having some simple chats with the Du family and the Chamber of Commerce, he basically didn't say much. At this moment, he wanted to ask about the planning of the town here and the arrangements for entering the mountain later. He was a little confused for a while and didn't know who to look for.
In the Du family's team, the doctor was a direct disciple named Du Xingzhou. Du Xingzhou was quite active and very skilled in dealing with people. After settling down the Du family and his group, he wandered around in this sloppy town and happened to see Xia Qingzhang hesitating.
"Brother Xia, why are you here? I have arranged a welcoming dinner for us later. It is said that there are many good people from the mountains. How about going with me?"
"That's good. I don't know what this Heishan Fort will bring out." Xia Qingzhang saw that it was Du Xingzhou, and quickly bowed and agreed happily. The Du family and Heishan Fort have a good relationship. In addition, Du Xingzhou is active in nature, and has been looking for opportunities to talk to Chengbang in the past few days. Ye Yichen is talking about various topics and knows a lot about the current Heishan Fort.
"It is said to be Nanshao wild boar and Qingling fruit wine..." Du Xingzhou showed a leisurely and fascinating expression.
"Nanshao Wild Boar? Isn't this something you can find when you enter the mountain?" Xia Qingzhang is still familiar with the mountains in the Shifang and naturally knows the general distribution.
"The Qingling Fruit is about to make wine for at least half a year... It shouldn't be done recently. They held a big banquet, and the people in the entire Black Mountain Fort have their share. Maybe not everyone has wine, but they must have meat. Even the craftsmen hired have one... They didn't regard Nanshao wild boar as something great at all." Although Du Xingzhou is a child of the Du family's direct practice, he has no arrogant expression. Instead, he is quite calm. But he just likes various delicacies. When he asked about the arrangements for the dinner, he was a little uneasy.
Nanshao wild boars are a very uneven distribution of the mountains in the ten directions. The combat power of a single monster is not strong. Adult wild boars may be solved by a round body period, and are not very rookie monks, but these wild boars often gather in large groups, rushing around in the mountains, and even those high-level monsters often avoid them temporarily. This thing is not regional, so it gradually becomes the most troublesome unstable factor for adventure teams. The Black Mountain Fort can actually take out such a large amount of wild boar meat to eat. It is estimated that they have already begun to clear the wild boar community. The most powerful group of people are not in the Black Mountain Fort. They can break through the Nanshao wild boar herd with limited combat power alone. This ability alone surprised Du Xingzhou. Now, this surprise also appeared in Xia Qingzhang's heart.
