As the days go by and the winter becomes stronger, when you enter Berkshire, the scenery along the way is completely different from that of Changling. You can see that most of the slightly low hills have been cultivated into terraced fields, and there are small market towns everywhere, but it is difficult to see the scale. The big city of Bashan and the continuous steep peaks of Bashan stand side by side like giants standing side by side. Those places are still sparsely populated so far.
Thousands of years ago, there were very few cultivators in the world. Practitioners who could realize the Tao, or obtain some ways of practice, were considered first-class figures of the Earth Immortal and Sword Immortal in the ordinary population.
These people cultivated with the help of spiritual veins in the mountains, and they were considered to eat the wind and dew and swallow the clouds, leaving behind countless legends.
When the kingdoms in the world gradually prospered and formed major dynasties, when the Great Qin Dynasty and the Bashan Sword Field arose, counties were set up in the area of Bashan. Although the population increased a lot, the spiritual veins in Bashan had been cut off for hundreds of years. The land is also like natural elimination, and has disappeared for many years.
To this day, the Bashan sword field has all fallen in the turmoil when Emperor Yuanwu ascended the throne. Compared with Changling, a capital with a dense concentration of practitioners, the number of practitioners in the Bajun area is very small. The understanding of practitioners is still the same as before, and they feel that practitioners are all celestial beings who eat the wind and swallow the clouds.
So Xue Wangxu just showed some tricks along the way, and he could easily get the best horses, and the speed along the way was naturally not slow.
On this day, when Ding Ning opened the car curtain that was hardened by ice chips, he saw a large city built along the hillside, consisting of thousands of wooden buildings.
He knew that this was Liancheng Walled City. Before there was no official county and no garrison in Bashan area, it was already one of the largest gathering places of Bashan natives.
After passing through here, and then through a canyon, there is a basin inside, which is where Zhushan County is located.
…
Just when Ding Ning followed Xue Wangxu and approached Zhushan County, Wang Taixu and Yu Gu were having a meeting in the Bingmasi Station on the outskirts of Changling.
Most of the time, Yu Gu's eyes still stayed on the wintersweet tree in the courtyard, his expression was still majestic and cold, but his heart was truly peaceful.
Because he is very clear that according to the progress of the previous days, the negotiations that must be concluded as soon as possible by the Bingma Division will be completed today.
"The cold air is already strong. If the matter of armor is suddenly replaced by someone else, there may be delays."
Wang Taixu's eyes also stayed on the wintersweet tree, and he said unhurriedly: "So what the general said before is reasonable, we don't need the business of picking and making clothes for the two-story building, but the business of unpacking the warehouse Business is necessary. In addition, I heard that many prisons in Changling have been in disrepair for a long time, and the prisoners inside need to dress in cold weather. I am afraid that some difficulties also need help. Let us do these things on the second floor, presumably Can the general decide?"
Yu Gu suddenly turned around.
His eyes were sharp like blades, he looked straight at Wang Taixu, and said in a deep voice, "Are you serious?"
This is something completely beyond his expectations.
Prison house repairs, prison meals, clothing, bedding, and some business transactions, although there are great benefits in this, how can it be compared to the amazing profits made by the army's armor production
Wang Taixu smiled slightly, and said: "Although I'm just a commoner, I can't compare with a general's military order like a mountain, but when it comes to speaking, I can still do what I say."
Yu Gu glanced at him, and immediately misunderstood the meaning, and said with a slight mockery: "If you can pass into the prison, even if people on the second floor of yours go in in the future, they will definitely get good care. Even if it is used for top bags You will feel much more comfortable staying in it, but the rest of Changling’s people in the Jianghu have to think about it before they go against you. They don’t have a good life after they enter... Wang Taixu , you are advancing by retreating, and you will not offend our soldiers and horses less, but you will be able to occupy more territory in the battle with those gangsters in the future. Your calculation is indeed not bad."
Wang Taixu smiled again, bowed humbly to Yu Gu, and said, "Thank you General Yu for your success."
Yu Gu's face was slightly cold.
Of course he didn't agree yet, but Wang Taixu already knew that he would agree, and he would indeed agree. After all, asking the Patriarchal Law Division to give some benefits is just a trivial matter for the Military and Horse Division. What Wang Taixu asked for was not the slightest Touching the bottom line of Bingmasi, it can even be said that he has given up a lot of face to Bingmasi.
However, no matter on the battlefield or in the court, he is extremely jealous and dislikes this kind of person who is too smart and can see through the opponent's mind.
So at this moment, his eyes were even full of real killing intent.
"Although I can meet some of your requirements this time, you are a smart person. You should understand how the situation will change after this period of time."
Yu Gu took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said in a slightly cold voice: "After this winter, you'd better restrain yourself."
Wang Taixu still bowed and did not get up, respectfully and softly said: "I will remember the general's teachings."
Yu Gu was silent.
The negotiations, which have lasted for a long time, are finally settled.
Although Wang Taixu's posture and words in front of him are so humble, he is very clear that after walking out of this station, with the promise and cooperation of the military, Wang Taixu's two-story building will quickly let dozens of people who were originally The Jianghu gangs that rely on those business dependents have nowhere to go, or are forced to merge into two floors.
The two-story building, which was already very powerful, will become a behemoth that cannot be compared with other Jianghu gangs, except for the underground ruler of the fish market.
…
…
Because it only takes more than half a day from Liancheng Village to Zhushan County, Xue Wangxu and Ding Ning did not rest in Liancheng Village after consulting Ding Ning. They just ate something and continued on their way.
"I'm going to Zhushan County soon, do you have any plans?"
Ding Ning asked Xue Wangxu while rubbing his knees that were uncomfortable due to the long ride.
He himself has always been a man of great plans.
For example, killing Song Shenshu, when he appeared in the sight of Xie Changsheng and others, and at what level of cultivation he tried to enter the place where he could participate in the Minshan Sword Association. He had many meticulous plans and alternative plans.
He would have done these things step by step.
Entering the Minshan Sword Academy, he can cooperate with the nine-dead silkworm, which can prevent him from aging prematurely, practice quickly, and can be very powerful in every realm.
After obtaining the Heavenly Continuing Art, he can go to the people on that wall one by one according to his cultivation level and deal with them.
However, some secrets revealed by Song Shenshu disrupted his plan, making some things have to be carried out simultaneously.
And now the Feng Family in Zhushan County was originally outside of his primary plans at the beginning.
"Feng Qianzhuo is equivalent to the role of a landlord in Zhushan County, especially because he is a strong practitioner, so many people in the area really regard him as the kind of god who can protect one side." Xue Wangxu Looking at the busy Ding Ning, he explained: "He probably also enjoys this kind of love, so every year at this kind of temple fair, he would come out to nod incense, donate some property, and say a few words. At that time, if I Challenge him, and he should have no reason to refuse."
Ding Ning said: "In any other place in my country, everyone respects the brave and the strong, and both sides will admire this kind of open battle. But in Zhushan County, it is too tricky for you to challenge him on such an occasion." People hate it."
Xue Wangxu mocked slightly: "As long as you win the fight, it's not hatred, it's fear."
Ding Ning said calmly: "Even if you are sure that he has not entered the seventh realm, some methods in Bashan Sword Field still have many unique features."
"Of course I will be more careful." Xue Wangxu picked up the water bag and took a sip of the still warm water, and looked at Ding Ning seriously, "It's you... You said you wanted to beat all the young talents in the Minshan Sword Club Jun, what's your plan? I haven't seen you practice swords all the way, so have you comprehended the two sword scriptures you picked?"
Ding Ning hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Xue Wangxu almost choked on a mouthful of water, and instantly coughed violently.
Ding Ning glanced at him, and made a few gestures in the air with his fingers.
Although it is just a simple count, there seem to be several unique flavors in the air.
Xue Wangxu stopped coughing, but he tore off a few beards again, and a lot of water from the uncovered water bag spilled out, soaking his front.
"I know these sword scriptures are difficult for others, but they are very simple for me."
Ding Ning still looked at him calmly, and said softly: "So my plan is just to enter the True Yuan Realm before the Minshan Sword Fair. If it is safer, at least enter the middle grade of the True Yuan Realm."
"I've never seen a monster like you before."
After a long time, Xue Wangxu breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Now I suddenly want to meet the two most powerful little monsters from Minshan Sword Sect and Lingxu Sword Sect, and see if they have anything to do with you. What a difference."
"At first, I thought the Wildfire Sword Classic was not difficult enough, but you are like this even with these two... It seems that I don't know you well enough."
The shock in Xue Wangxu's eyes subsided, but his brows were slightly frowned, and he asked softly as if exploring: "Is it just these two schools that are enough? In the Minshan Sword Club, some people's sword scriptures are probably stronger. .”
Ding Ning shook his head, "There is no strongest sword scripture, only stronger people."
