Chapter 473: Face-off

Not far south, he discovered the horse team from Taiping Village. They were transporting 10,000 kilograms of copper and iron to Gushan Mountain. He had seen them on the road earlier. Due to the rugged mountain road, they were moving slowly. It was only then that the team entered. The boundary of Gushan Mountain.

The leader of Taiping Village, Dong Yunju, is a bandit leader with a long history of crimes. These ten thousand kilograms of copper and iron are the money Dong Yunju handed over to buy his life. Now that he has received the benefits from this old man, we can no longer embarrass him, but Taiping Village is the southern The largest den of thieves in the wilderness must have hoarded a lot of food. It would be a pity to let them go like this.

Thinking of this, he controlled the Qinglong Armor to fall from the sky, blocking the way of the convoy.

He had been to Taiping Village before, and the escorting thief recognized him. Seeing his sudden appearance, he hurried forward and smiled to say hello.

Wu Zhongyuan ignored him and circled around the carriage in front, "Is it heavy enough?"

The thief nodded and bowed, "That's enough, it's twelve thousand catties. The extra two thousand catties are the extra filial piety of my village master."

"How much gold and copper? How much bad gold?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again. The word gold was also used at this time, but it refers to copper with better quality, while bad gold refers to iron. Due to poor metallurgical technology, there was no wrought iron at this time. , all made of pig iron, its hardness is also very poor, and it can only be used to make agricultural tools.

"It's all the best gold and copper, and not even half of it is mixed with bad gold." The thief said and opened one of the wooden boxes.

Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and glanced. It was indeed copper, all in the shape of a stick. The quality was not very good, but it was not bad either.

He stopped the convoy to find trouble, but he couldn't find anything wrong with Dong Yunju at the moment. Not only did the old guy give him an extra two thousand kilograms, but he also gave him copper. This was an overfulfillment of the task.

"Didn't Dongyunju marry that cook?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and looked at the thief. That day, Dongyunju robbed the daughter of the owner of Luming Valley. The big fat man married some weak and thin women. He gave Dongyunju a marriage on a whim and forced Dongyunju to marry a fat woman who cooked.

"Marry, marry, Your Excellency granted me the marriage. The leader of my village felt very honored, and we got married the next day." The thief smiled cautiously.

"Are you pregnant?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again. He gave Dongyunju a marriage purely as a punishment for Dongyunju. He was worried that Dongyunju would not marry the fat woman, and even said harsh words that if the fat woman was not pregnant next autumn, He went over to perform funeral services for Dongyunju.

"Sir, you are joking, how can you be so fast?" the thief sneered.

He couldn't find anything wrong, so he had to give it up, but Wu Zhongyuan was still a little unwilling. After pondering, he said to the thief, "Go back and tell Dong Yunju that I have personally taken charge of the Bear Clan, and I will definitely go to Taiping Village next autumn." .”

The thief congratulated him repeatedly, "Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. Don't worry, I will definitely bring you the message."

"Yes." Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Okay then, you can continue on your way. The Bear Clan is seriously short of food and grass, and I have to go out to collect and raise them."

"Oh, oh, sir, go slow." The thief handed over his hand.

Wu Zhongyuan controlled the Qinglong Armor to lift off the ground and continue southward.

The temperature was very low in the winter evening, but Wu Zhongyuan's face kept heating up, not because the Qinglong Armor could block the cold air, but because his previous words were so ungraceful that he almost asked for it directly.

It is said that people are poor but have short ambitions, and horses are thin and hairy. This is true at all. Not to mention the false reputation of the Yellow Emperor, I just say that as a great Wu of the Bear Clan, you have to pay attention to your image, but now is really not the time to be cool and cool. ,

We are still short of 170,000 kilograms, so we can only get it together bit by bit.

He had traveled to the Southern Wilderness many times, but most of the time he took the middle line. This time he did not take the old path, but moved a few hundred miles west. While going south, he paid attention to the villages and tribes below, but everything he saw along the way was... These are dilapidated villages, and life is difficult to live in at first sight. No matter how difficult it is, the poor households cannot be targeted.

He arrived at Goat Valley at the second watch, took off his armor, floated to the ground, and entered on foot from the north side of the town.

Because the weather was very cold, there were not many people in the night market. Wu Zhongyuan was worried and was not in the mood to visit the night market, so he went directly to the West Street Restaurant.

Goat Valley is equivalent to the red light district in later generations. It is very luxurious. There is a lot of good food in the restaurant. Wu Zhongyuan treated the old blind man to a meal last time. There was a flying dragon soup during the meal. The so-called flying dragon is naturally not a real dragon. It is a kind of wild bird, which is very delicious when made into soup. This time, this kind of ingredient is available in the store.

If he had made it before, he would definitely have ordered this dish, but the hunger and cold of the tribesmen he saw yesterday kept flashing in his mind. He felt that eating extravagantly would make him feel guilty, so he ordered a bowl of noodles and a side of pickles.

He only drank in the morning and didn't eat much. He didn't eat much at noon. He was still hungry and was devouring food. Someone came in from the door. When Wu Zhongyuan raised his head, the person happened to be looking at him. The two of them looked at each other. They met each other.

The visitor was in his early thirties, tall and thin, with handsome features, luxurious clothes, and a jade tree facing the wind. He looked like a talented person. He was none other than the leader of the Fox clan, the Jade-faced Thirteenth Lang.

When he saw this person, Wu Zhongyuan's eyes instantly lit up. It's great. He wants to eat a tortoise and a turtle comes. Hundred Days of Rice is produced by the Fox Clan. Even if the whole world is short of food, the Fox Clan will definitely not be short of food.

"Oh, sir, it's a pleasure to meet you." Thirteenth Lang stepped forward slowly.

"Brother Wang, what a coincidence." Wu Zhongyuan stood up and raised his hand.

Thirteenth Lang is not surnamed Wang, but he is the Fox King, and Wu Zhongyuan is also the king. He calls Thirteenth Lang Brother Wang as both an honorific and a term of endearment. Thirteenth Lang is also very comfortable with this title. He flips up his clothes and sits next to Wu Zhongyuan. "On a cold day and winter night, if you are not enjoying leisure time in the middle of the country, why are you here in Goat Valley?"

"Brother Wang has a group of wives and concubines. They are not hugging each other in the royal city. What are they doing here?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.

"I have nothing to do, let's go out for a walk," Thirteenth Lang said. After speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly and observed Wuzhong's vitality. "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time. I am so happy and congratulated that you have made great progress in your cultivation and reached the peak."

"We are happy and congratulations together." Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand humbly. Thirteenth Lang was originally Dongyuan Ziqi. Earlier, he exchanged Taixuan elixir for a hundred days of grain. Now Thirteenth Lang has also been promoted to Taixuan. mysterious.

"TOEFL, TOEFL." Thirteenth Lang returned the greeting.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan's meal was simple, Thirteenth Lang complimented, "Your Excellency, you are really thrifty and don't order meat or drinks." At this point, he turned to the waiter and shouted, "Cook some good dishes for us, I also brought two jars of the best wine, and by the way, the door was boarded up so no more idlers could come in."

When Thirteenth Lang was talking to the waiter, Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to look at Thirteenth Lang carefully. There were a few tiny drops of blood on Thirteenth Lang's clothes, and there were subtle lung sounds when he spoke. This indicated that Thirteenth Lang had been involved in an affair not long ago. He took over and suffered a loss.

He was not surprised that Thirteenth Lang got into a fight with someone. This guy was a playboy. He stayed away from home all day long and wandered around outside all day long. It was wrong to say that he was wandering around. To be precise, he was out looking for flowers, regardless of whether they were famous flowers or not. Lord, I’m sure you’re right, the fight with someone is probably because of jealousy, or maybe it’s because you hooked up with a married woman and was beaten by her husband.

But what puzzled him was that Thirteenth Lang was already a Taixuan practitioner, and the person who could injure him had at least a Deep Purple Taixuan spiritual energy level. Among the three Taixuan masters in the Southern Wilderness, only Dongyunju and Tiancan were male. Liu Jin'e from Gu and Wan Shanhong from Yanyun Mountain are both women. Did this guy sneak into Taiping Village?

Thirteenth Lang ordered food and drinks, then turned back to talk to Wu Zhongyuan. Previously, he had sent his clansmen north to the Middle Earth to instruct them on the sowing techniques of hundreds of days of rice. This time, he asked Wu Zhongyuan if he had any other technical problems in farming.

Although Thirteenth Lang mentioned a hundred days of rice, Wu Zhongyuan did not take the opportunity to ask for a loan of grain because he found that Thirteenth Lang was obviously over-enthusiastic and was injured. In addition, the incident in Daqiu had already happened. It has been seven or eight days, and the news should have spread to the Southern Wilderness, but Thirteenth Lang does not seem to know that he has become the Great Wu of the Bear Clan. This means that Thirteenth Lang has been staying in a place where the news is not very well-informed for some time. There are various signs that Thirteenth Lang may have something to ask him for help.

Don't rush to make a request, first observe and see what Thirteenth Lang wants to ask him to do.

Since Thirteenth Lang asked about the hundred-day rice, Wu Zhongyuan asked seemingly casually how the Fox clan's harvest was this year, and Thirteenth Lang casually replied, 'Not bad. ’

Wu Zhongyuan was relieved when he was sure that the Fox clan was having a good life. When the food and wine were served, he exchanged glasses with Thirteenth Lang.

Thirteenth Lang was obviously worried and didn't eat much. The store also made Wu Zhongyuan's favorite flying dragon, which was an advantage for him.

Although Thirteenth Lang was injured, he kept urging him to drink. Seeing him like this, Wu Zhongyuan became more and more convinced that Thirteenth Lang wanted something from him.

Seeing that Thirteenth Lang was still reluctant to ask for help, Wu Zhongyuan encouraged him in disguise. The method of encouragement was also very simple. He complimented Thirteenth Lang for being a friend and being loyal. Not only did he exchange the Fox clan's unique hundred-day rice grain for They also sent technicians to teach them how to plant. Worried about missing the planting time, they also asked the technicians to fly. Of course, the so-called plane was not a real plane. The person sent by the Fox Clan that day was riding an old crane. Go.

Under Wu Zhongyuan's "encouragement" and inducement, Thirteenth Lang finally spoke, but instead of speaking, he took a long breath.

It's okay to breathe heavily, which means that Thirteenth Lang is loose. Wu Zhongyuan strikes while the iron is hot, "Brother Wang, what difficulties have you encountered?"

"Oh, it's hard to put it into words." Thirteenth Lang shook his head and sighed.

"Brother Wang, if you have any difficulties, it's okay to say so. You and I are friends. If a friend is in trouble, we should help him and spare no effort." Wu Zhongyuan began to lay the groundwork for the subsequent food borrowing.

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Thirteenth Lang toasted with a glass to express his gratitude. After putting down the glass, he said, "Brother Yu has been very depressed recently, and he has been miserable."

"I would like to hear the details." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Thirteenth Lang stopped talking, and after hesitation he finally said, "To be honest, Brother Yu has a woman he likes. They were in love with each other for many years. However, something unexpected happened and something unexpected happened. The woman was raped by a foreign thief. Brother Yu went to Minshan several times to rescue him, but he was defeated every time."

"Wait, where are you talking about? Minshan?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

Thirteenth Lang nodded in frustration.

"What's that woman's name?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Fangming Dai Niang..."
