Chapter 410: Placement
Wu Zhongyuan didn't go far, he only stopped at the top of the mountain more than ten miles east of Kuicheng, and he couldn't let everyone in Kuicheng know that outsiders were involved in this matter, so he couldn't stay in the city, but he was also worried that Zhu Qianwei wouldn't be able to stabilize the situation, and he could overlook Kuicheng from here, and if anything happened to Kuicheng, he could also see it from here.
He didn't have anything urgent to do this time, so he could stay here for a while, and wait until the situation in Kuicheng stabilized before leaving.
People are selfish, Wu Zhongyuan is no exception, although he sympathizes with Zhu Qianwei's suffering, but what he is most concerned about is the 30,000 catties of white salt in Kuicheng, salt is a strategic material in modern times, and it plays a greater role at this time, he must ensure that these white salts can be safely transported to Middle-earth.
After eating some dry food, taking a nap, and waking up on time at the fifth watch, the divine consciousness of people who practice qi is stronger than that of ordinary people, if you set the time of awakening in your mind before going to bed, you will automatically wake up at that hour.
After Wu Zhongyuan woke up, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see that the body in front of the palace had been moved, and the palace was very quiet inside and outside, and there was no abnormality in the city.
He woke up on the fifth watch, and yesterday Zhu Qianwei ordered everyone to discuss the fifth watch, and the meeting should have begun at this time, so no one moved inside and outside the palace.
Looking to the south, dozens of miles away is the vast South China Sea, because the sun has not yet risen, the fog on the sea surface has not yet dispersed, looking from a distance, the clouds and mist are swirling, misty.
When he had nothing to do, he sent his mind to summon the third master, because he gave the third master an order when he entered the city last night, so that he waited outside the city, and the third master never flew far, sensing Wu Zhongyuan's call, he flew from the forest in the north of the city.
The third master is different from Dasha and Huang Mao'er, it is an old bird, and it can also speak, Wu Zhongyuan noticed that it was angry in his mood, so he asked casually, "You seem to have a fire in your belly?"
"I'm angry. The third master tilted his head to the side.
"What are you angry about?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.
"I'm angry with myself," said the third master, "why should I listen to you, why do I want to scold you but don't scold you." β
Wu Zhongyuan wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, the reason why the third master didn't scold him was because he gave the third master an order not to scold him, the third master has his own complete divine sense, has his own ideas, and the instructions he issued are in conflict with the third master's own thoughts, so the third master's thoughts are a little confused now.
After a short period of silence, Wu Zhongyuan sent out his mind and lifted all the instructions given to the third master before, except for the article that the holy decree could not be falsely transmitted, and the third master could not be turned into a tool that only knew the order, which was a slave to it, and it had to be allowed to retain its character intact.
The restriction on the third master was lifted, and the third master began to scold, but stopped without scolding a few words, in fact, it already knew that Wu Zhongyuan was its master, and subconsciously knew that it should not scold him, but its unruly and stubborn temperament was completely preserved, these two thoughts were fighting in its mind at this time, and it would take a while to get used to it.
It also seemed to know that it shouldn't scold Wu Zhongyuan, and after scolding, it also felt ashamed, and flew north.
"Why are you going?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Look for something to eat, you can't starve me if you want to," the third master scolded in shame. "The third master is also going to eat. β
"I have bread here, will you eat it?" Wu Zhongyuan shouted.
"If you don't eat it, you won't be able to when you eat bread. The third master shouted and flew away.
If it weren't for Zhu Qianwei's experience affecting his mood, Wu Zhongyuan's mood at this time should be very good, so far the trip is still very smooth, not only through the wolf king's tomb to have a preliminary understanding of the five paths, but also Gao Zhan and Zhu Qianwei two generals, the fly in the ointment is that Gao Zhan and Zhu Qianwei's aura cultivation is not high, but this can not be regarded as a shortcoming, employing people is actually somewhat similar to finding a partner, you can't find high-performance stocks, if people are already very good, you lean up, people will not appreciate the good thoughts.
If you want to find potential stocks, just like LΓΌ Buwei has been helping and assisting since the fall of King Qinzhuang, this belongs to sending charcoal in the snow, belonging to being in the same boat through thick and thin, only this kind of relationship will be grateful to you after the other party grows up.
However, it is easy to produce a misunderstanding here, that is, potential stocks are very similar to junk stocks in the early stage of development, many people can't tell which is the potential stocks, which is junk stocks, it is easy to look away, and it is easy to make investment mistakes, this depends on the level of the investor's IQ, whether it is employing people or looking for objects, it is a lifelong thing, yes, a lifetime is good, wrong, a lifetime is not good.
He is very sure that Gao Zhan and Zhu Qianwei are excellent stocks, the two major elements of employing people, loyalty and potential, both of which are possessed, and what is lacking is only opportunities and help, both of which he can give.
There are two major gains from this trip, one is the dragon halberd, and the other is the salt of Kuicheng, salt is a big deal, if there is not enough salt preparation, the war will collapse halfway through, and everything must be ensured.
More than half of the fifth watch, dozens of people walked out of the palace, because they were far away, they couldn't see their faces clearly, but there were many old people who were hunched over, which showed that this group of people did not enter the palace to fight, but went in to discuss the matter, since the deliberations ended smoothly, it means that Zhu Qianwei has stabilized the situation.
Such a result is also in his expectation, the great man once said that the gun is out of power, and it is even more so at this time, whoever can fight is the boss, Zhu Qianwei killed hundreds of people last night, who is not afraid?
He came out this time with a few specific destinations, according to the itinerary, the next step should be to the East China Sea to find the kind of fruit that can help Jiang Nanyu transform weapons and other personal things together, this legendary fruit is very useful, not only useful to Jiang Nan, but also to other people.
In addition to a few established places, he also has to find the remaining psychic warriors, and now he is located on the coast of the South China Sea, and he can wear the green dragon armor to go around those islands in the South China Sea, or he can make a zigzag detour from the land and rush to the East China Sea while searching.
After thinking about it, Wu Zhongyuan dispelled this idea, he had to go back first and explain some things.
After making up his mind, he summoned the Qinglong Armor and quickly went north, he did not summon the third master to accompany him, and after he arrived at the ground, he could send his mind and then summon it.
The Qinglong Armor is a sacred relic of the Bird Clan, but there is no war at this time, Wu Zhongyuan uses it as a means of transportation, which saves time and effort, and is also efficient.
This time he did not go back to Daze, but went to Jiumu, because when he left, he had told Lao Er to help Daze dig caves as soon as possible, and then rushed to Jiumu and Jiulian to help, according to the time to calculate that Lao Er and Lao Blind and others should be in Jiumu at this time.
He guessed correctly, the old blind man was indeed in Jiumu, Wu Zhongyuan arrived at Jiumu at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, first said hello to Li Wanzi, and then went to see the old blind man under the leadership of Li Wanzi.
Li Wanzi is more concerned about the etiquette of respect and inferiority, Jiumu and Jiulian have a residence specially built for Wu Zhongyuan, which is similar in nature to the palace of later generations, where the old blind man and others lived.
Lao Er dug a hole, not in the city. The old blind man and Wu Di were also busy in the room, and the old blind man dictated, and Wu Di recorded according to his narration that it seemed to be painting, but it was not quite like it.
After asking, I learned that the two were making a map, to be exact, a topographic map, the old blind man had been a bear wizard before, and in his early years, he had traveled all over the country on horseback, and he was very familiar with the terrain inside and outside Middle-earth, and before the big war, he wanted to make a map for Wu Zhongyuan, so that he could command the battle in the future.
Since the old blind man could not depict it himself, he could only ask Wu Di for help, and it was also a loss to Wu Di, so that others could not understand the old blind man's description at all, but even so, it was difficult to ensure that the map was completely accurate, and after having a rough prototype, the two had to go out for the final correction.
Wu Zhongyuan first affirmed the work of the two, and then told the three of them about his experience on this trip.
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, the old blind man looked happy, "Other things can be put aside first, and those salts should be transported back as soon as possible." β
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "That's what I mean, I'm wondering if I should send someone to pick up Zhu Qianwei." β
"Someone must be sent," said the old blind man, "and Wan Zi Dongyuan personally led a team south to meet him. β
Li Wanzi was not unhappy because the old blind man ordered her, because everyone knew that this was a beautiful trip, and whoever picked it up would definitely get a lot of points, but she had other concerns, "Let's ask Dahua Dongyuan to go, before Daze went north under the banner of an adult to pick up the people in Yingyinmahe, she seemed to be a little disappointed when she heard about it." β
"You'd better go. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said.
The old blind man said, "Right now, the Niu Clan and the Bear Clan are at war, and the battlefield is not far from the city under her jurisdiction, so in order to avoid accidents, Jiang Dahua should not stay away." β
"When is the fight?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned, when he left, the Niu Clan and the Bear Clan were facing each other at the border, and the war had not yet started.
"Ten days ago. Li Wanzi said.
"To what extent?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"The war has officially begun, and the Niu army has marched hundreds of miles east. Li Wanzi said.
"Is the Purple Qi Master involved?" Wu Zhongyuan asked urgently.
Li Wanzi shook his head, "No." β
Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, at this time, the people who practice qi are still a few after all, the main force of the war is still ordinary soldiers, and the nature of the purple qi master is somewhat similar to modern nuclear weapons, once used, the nature of the war will be serious.
The old blind man said from the side, "In my opinion, this matter will be difficult to be good, that White Dragon Pill is a sacred relic of the Niu Clan, not as usual." If it were a normal day, Jiang Zheng might still be slowly trying to figure it out, but the seal is about to dissolve, and the war is approaching, this thing is particularly important. If he doesn't claim it back, Jiang Zheng will never give up. β
"You should go for it, it's not good for anyone to fight like this. Li Wanzi said.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head helplessly, "If I can go, I will go a long time ago, and I won't wait until now, the key is what can I say if I go? Do I ask Wu Xi to hand over the White Dragon Pill? Or do I ask Jiang Zheng not to ask for the White Dragon Pill?"
"Let them go," said the old blind man, shaking his head, "it is not a good thing for us, but it is not all bad either. β
The three of them understood the words of the old blind man, but the depth of understanding was different, Wu Di and Li Wanzi only started a war between the Bear Clan and the Niu Clan, although the overall strength of Middle-earth would decline, but the city they belonged to could benefit from the fish. But Wu Zhongyuan knew the deep meaning of the old blind man, the old blind man had always hoped that he would unify the three clans before the big war, but he didn't want to do so.
As soon as the matter came to an end, everyone returned to the previous topic, Wu Zhongyuan put down the hammer and said, "It's better for you to go, you can send carriages and horses first, and you will rush there, and choose a better city for everyone in Kui City to live in before leaving." β
"Is it appropriate?" Li Wanzi still had concerns, "It's better to pick it up like this, and send it to Gushan after picking it up, okay?"
"It's not good," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again and again, "Jiang Dahua has a son, who is very spoiled, and at first glance he is a mischievous master, in case Kui Xi's daughter is bullied by him when she grows up, Zhu Qianwei will definitely kill him." β
"Isn't that baby girl still in her infancy? Li Wanzi couldn't laugh or cry.
"If this situation really happens, how do we deal with it?" Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, in fact, there is no such thing as an accident in this world, and any accident is essentially a lack of consideration.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had made up his mind, Li Wanzi had no choice but to nod and agree.
"You will tell Wu Di in detail about the figures of the two of them," said the old blind man, "and make them meteorite armor earlier to show their favor." β
Wu Zhongyuan recalled and described, and Wu Di remembered.
"I still have to go to Gushan, I have to say hello to Jiang Dahua, and let her open up the boundary as soon as possible for the wolf clan to shelter. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"It's hard to come back, don't be busy, let's go again tomorrow. Li Wanzi said.
"Okay," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "By the way, I got a servant when I went out this time, and I have already flown out of the city, I will take you out to meet ......"
