Origin

Not long after Wu Zhongyuan sat down, Wan Shanhong came. She was also a frequent visitor to Goat Valley, so the shop owner naturally recognized her and ran out to welcome her in.

"Why are you running so fast?" Wan Shanhong sat down opposite Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Wan Shanhong, "They'll be closed if you're late."

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, the shopkeeper who was approaching the door turned around and answered, "No, no, Patriarch Wu and Master Wanshan are both distinguished guests of the shop. Don't mention this time, even at noon we will get up to welcome him. .”

"Hahaha, you know him," Wan Shanhong took out a Qi-boosting elixir from his waist bag and threw it over, "Hurry up and fix the food and wine. After the food and wine are served, you go out. I have something to say with Patriarch Wu. explain."

The shop owner took it with both hands, thanked him profusely, and took the waiter to the kitchen.

Wan Shanhong took a cup of tea and said, "What are your plans next?"

"What about you? Where are you going?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

Wan Shanhong smiled and said, "Haha, I just gave you the contents, but I didn't give you the house. You still want to kick me out?"

"I thought you were going to travel around the world." Wu Zhongyuan also laughed.

"No, I still live there. If you miss me, you can go see me at any time, but I often go out and may not stay in Yanyun Mountain." Wan Shanhong said.

After Wan Shanhong put down the tea cup, Wu Zhongyuan picked up the pot and helped her fill it up, "I am in urgent need of copper and iron to melt and forge weapons. As we said before..."

Before Wu Zhongyuan could finish speaking, Wan Shanhong interrupted him, "I've given you the oxen and horses, why should I be stingy with a rein? I'll also give you two hundred thousand catties."

"Thank you, thank you very much." Wu Zhongyuan thanked him hurriedly.

"I'll send them to you in the spring. It's too cold in the north now," Wan Shanhong said. "Most of my birds are afraid of the cold. I suffered a lot of frostbite when I carried food north."

"Okay, okay, don't be in a hurry." Wu Zhongyuan nodded repeatedly. Before that, he wanted to ask Wan Shanhong for some birds, but after hearing what she said, he gave up the idea. Many birds have migration habits and can withstand the cold in winter. The ability is very poor. If you want to equip your warriors and wizards with birds, you still have to look for the blue-eyed golden eagle. The blue-eyed golden eagle is not only cold-resistant, but also a carnivorous bird. In aerial combat, it is much more powerful than ordinary birds.

While the two were talking, the wine and food were served, and the owner, the waiter and the cook fled out.

Wu Zhongyuan was also hungry, and after the symbolic courtesy, he began to devour the food.

Wan Shanhong stepped on the stool with his left leg and grabbed the chicken leg with his right hand. "What are your plans next?"

"The festival is coming soon, and I can't do anything else. I have to go back after finishing the things here. My family is still waiting for me to ascend the throne." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"That's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is what are your plans for the future?" Wan Shanhong asked.

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and replied, "I accept your help this time to solve an urgent need. Next year, we will have to farm vigorously and collect grain to prepare for shortages. We must also build weapons and city defense equipment to consolidate the city's defense. Warriors and wizards must also select and train a team of warriors as soon as possible." Patch, if possible, I would also like to try to improve the spiritual energy cultivation of our own warriors and wizards."

Wan Shanhong tilted his head and squinted, "Are you really prepared to confront them head-on?"

"How can I surrender if I don't resist?" Wu Zhongyuan put down his chopsticks and picked up a wooden spoon to serve rice from the copper cauldron.

Wan Shanhong pushed the copper cauldron in front of him, "Do you think there is a chance of winning?"

"Whether there is a chance of winning, I have to fight." Wu Zhongyuan filled a bowl of rice for Wan Shanhong, and then started eating directly from the small copper cauldron. At this time, rice was not widely cultivated, and there was only a small amount of wild rice. The so-called rice refers to It's corn rice.

“A lot of people will die in a war.

"Wan Shanhong said.

Wu Zhongyuan picked up vegetables to eat and did not answer the call.

Wan Shanhong threw away the chicken bones and wiped his hands with a handkerchief. "Have you ever thought of another way to reduce casualties?"

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan looked up at her.

"Just don't conflict with them head-on, join forces horizontally and vertically, and protect yourself without fighting." Wan Shanhong said.

"Who am I going to go with? Not even the Gods or even the Ghosts? I won't connect with anyone!" Wu Zhongyuan shook his head sternly. Maybe the method Wan Shanhong said can indeed reduce casualties, but it is tantamount to colluding with foreign enemies and collaborating. If you don't do it, , Absolutely not do it. Since ancient times, more than 90% of those who have saved the country have become traitors. We must not take this road.

"But in a head-on confrontation, you are no match for them." Wan Shanhong picked up the chopsticks and picked at the fish. "There is another way to take your family as soon as possible to avoid this war..."

"Okay, don't say that. If you say it again, I will suspect that you are a lobbyist sent by them." Wu Zhongyuan lowered his head to eat his rice.

"Have you thought about the consequences of those ungrateful things?" Wan Shanhong picked up a piece of fish and threw it into the copper cauldron.

"Thank you." Wu Zhongyuan raised his head and thanked him.

"Everyone understands the principle of capturing the thief first. If you insist on becoming their enemy, they will kill you first." Wan Shanhong said.

"I thought of this." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Aren't you afraid?" Wan Shanhong frowned.

"As the saying goes, you're not afraid of thieves stealing, you're afraid they will remember you." Wu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I must be afraid. God knows what trouble they can cause, but I can't abandon the city and surrender just because I'm afraid. Okay, ah Sister, let’s not talk about this.”

"Okay, let's not talk about them," Wan Shanhong nodded, "They are foreign enemies, only the human race. Although you are called the Yellow Emperor of the Three Tribes, the Ox Tribe and the Bird Tribe do not obey your orders. You feel that Jiang Zheng and Li Tai also have Are you so determined to fight to the end?"

Wu Zhongyuan was not in the mood to eat, so he put down the copper cauldron and picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He had to admit that Wan Shanhong was very thoughtful and took into account the current situation of the three tribes. Her worries were not unnecessary. The little devil had not yet When they called, Jiang Zheng had already raised the white flag. If the five seals disappeared, there was a dilemma as to whether Li Tai would become a traitor.

"If they are of the same mind as you, they can split up to resist the enemy and support each other." Wan Shanhong said sternly, "If they don't think like you, with the strength of your Bear Clan, they are simply not enough to be enemies of the Five Paths. .”

Before Wu Zhongyuan could answer, Wan Shanhong said again, "Although I seldom go to Middle-Earth, I know the current situation of the Bear Clan. The Bear Clan is already weak. You just took back the Bear Clan not long ago, and people's hearts are unstable. Now you are worried about yourself." Foreign invasion, if the Ox Tribe and the Bird Tribe secretly collude with the Five Dao Xu and Wei Snake, even if the Five Dao don't come to attack you, the Ox Tribe and the Bird Tribe will also attack you."

"Have they ever beaten me?!" Wu Zhongyuan raised his eyebrows.

"They can't beat you, but they can beat your warriors and wizards." Wan Shanhong raised a chopstick. "No matter how powerful you are, you are just one person. If I give you all the bricks, tiles, ridges and rafters, If it’s demolished, what’s the use of just one big beam?”

Wu Zhongyuan sighed helplessly, "Are you really not a spy sent by them?"

"Don't be poor, let's get down to business," Wan Shanhong waved his hand, "I haven't finished speaking yet. I'm older than you, and I understand people's hearts better than you do. Human nature is evil, and the world is not worthy of your sacrifice to save it. them."

Wu Zhongyuan smiled and did not refute, but he also did not agree.

"Why are you laughing?" Wan Shanhong tapped the bowl with his chopsticks, "You don't agree with what I said?"

"Approval, approval," Wu Zhongyuan nodded repeatedly, "If I raise a question, you will definitely lead me to verify it. If you want to see a person's character clearly, it cannot be done overnight. [UU Reading 00kxs] I am very busy, how can I There’s so much time to do this.”

Wan Shanhong sighed, "You will definitely regret it."

"What do you regret?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"They will definitely disappoint you," Wan Shanhong sighed again, "I secretly observed you for a long time by the river that day. I saw your kindness in wanting to help others, and also your sincerity and hard work, but I also saw your sad ending."

Wu Zhongyuan raised his head and glanced at Wan Shanhong. Although Wan Shanhong was laughing and joking, he rarely spoke to him in such a serious tone, let alone used two "sures" in succession, which showed that Wan Shanhong firmly believed that his view was correct.

Wu Zhongyuan coughed twice and cleared his throat, "Sister, I know you do it for my own good, and what I do is not to make the world appreciate you. You must also know my situation. When my father took me I brought back the Bear Clan, but the Bear Clan was besieged by the Ox Clan and the Bird Clan. I am to blame for the Bear Clan's situation today, so I have an obligation to protect them, regardless of whether they deserve it or not."

Wan Shanhong nodded slowly, "I know I can't change your mind. You chose this path yourself. No matter what awaits you later, you can only bear it yourself. I will not participate in future wars, but We are friends forever."

After Wu Zhongyuan nodded, he picked up the wine bottle, poured two glasses of wine, and drank one of his glasses, "Sister, it's nice to meet you."

"With you in the world, my heart is never alone." Wan Shanhong smiled and raised his glass.

"Haha." Wu Zhongyuan drank first.

"Haha." Wan Shanhong followed, finished drinking, and returned the cup to the table, "I can also see that you are eager to return home. It is indeed a bit difficult to keep you for three days at this time. In this case, I will let you go. Let’s go, but you have to remember that you owe me three days.”

"Thank you for your understanding, sister." Wu Zhongyuan drank tea and rinsed his mouth.

"Let me give you another piece of advice," Wan Shanhong said in a deep voice, "Don't trust anyone, and don't have hope in anyone. Important things must be done personally."

"Okay, I'll remember it." Wu Zhongyuan nodded in agreement.

Wan Shanhong didn't hold back, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go. If you want to move anything, just go ahead."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded his thanks, stood up from his seat, and left the wine shop with Wan Shanhong.

The shop owner, waiter and others were squatting not far away to bask in the sun. When they saw the two coming out, they hurried over to greet them, nodding and bowing to see them off.

"I'm going to West Street to take a bath, do you want to go with me?" Wan Shanhong teased him again.

Wu Zhongyuan chuckled.

Wan Shanhong glanced at him with contempt, turned around and walked south.

Wu Zhongyuan watched Wan Shanhong go away, then left Goat Valley on foot. When he arrived outside the town, he summoned the Qinglong Armor, lifted off the ground, and headed north quickly.

Wan Shanhong's generous gift greatly increased the strength of the Bear Clan. He wanted to rush back as soon as possible to tell the old blind man the good news, but he suddenly remembered something during the flight and changed his route to the Ox Clan.

This old guy Jiang Zheng is so angry with him. He can't be so cheap to this old guy. He has to go to the Niu Clan and give this old guy a personal and divine wrath...
