Shang Bufan wanted to choose a stronghold, start to implement low-key and obscene development, and firmly implement the strategy of building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king.

If you want to find a suitable place, ask the natives of the Tianfeng Continent to be the most suitable, this is not Hu Changhe, the head of the adventurer's union branch, is the best choice, at least he is more familiar with the surrounding situation.

Hu Changhe thought for a while and asked, "Young Master, I don't know what requirements you have for the place you choose?"

Shang Bufan had already discussed it with Zhang Liang and the others, so he said without thinking: "This place is required to be secluded enough, with sufficient water sources, and it is best to use ships, or large warships, and at the same time, the place should be large enough, such as valleys, islands, and other places. ”

Hearing Shang Bufan's request, Hu Changhe, Hu Qingshu, and Gu Tianming fell into deep thought, and they were all thinking about which place was suitable.

After a while, the second ancestor Hu Qingshu's eyes lit up and said, "Young master, I think of a good place." ”

"Oh? Shang Bufan asked with interest.

Hu Qingshu recalled: "About three years ago, I went out with a group of friends, with Samba City and the Endless Forest as the boundary line, the entire Beichen Dynasty had a 1,200-li defense line, the westernmost is Samba City, and the easternmost is Vasha City by the Musen River. ”

"There are a number of defensive towns on this defensive line, but there is a place 500 miles away from Samba City, where there is a tributary of the Mussen River, forming a zigzag area, and this area is very unique. ”

"According to the topography, starting from the Endless Forest to the territory of the Beichen Empire, the terrain is getting lower and lower, but that area is very special, but it is getting higher and higher, and it is still on the opposite side of the Musen River, across the river from the territory of the Beichen Dynasty, and the nearest defense level there is sixty or seventy miles away. ”

"That area belongs to the Endless Forest, and it is connected to the Endless Forest, and the whole area is slightly larger than Samba City, I don't know if this place meets the requirements of the young master. ”

Shang Bufan was still very satisfied when he heard this place, but it was a little far away from the hinterland of the Beichen Dynasty, and he was weighing the feasibility of this area.

But if you think about it carefully, this area is still very good, the concealment is acceptable, the area area is enough, there are many places that can be used, the strategic depth is also good, and there are many resources in the endless forest, which can be a place for personnel to experience at the beginning.

So Shang Bufan made a decision and set up the first base of the Tianfeng Continent here. Raised his head and said to Hu Qingshu: "Well, this place you said is good, when the matter on the side of the Adventurer Guild is over, you can take me to the field to have a look." ”

Receiving Shang Bufan's praise, the second ancestor Hu Qingshu was very happy, he nodded again and again and said: "It's the young master, when will you give me the command, I will prepare in advance." ”

"Well, there's nothing to do for the time being, you guys go back first, be careful of your tail, don't expose it. Shang Bufan smiled and nodded, and then sent a few people back.

Hu Changhe, Gu Tianming, and Hu Qingshu bowed respectfully and left one after another.

After exiting five meters, he was about to turn around and leave, and the second ancestor Hu Qingshu suddenly said: "By the way, young master, tomorrow is June 22, 9873 in the Tianfeng Continent, and the entire Tianfeng Continent will hold a grand event-Blessing Festival, the young master can go over to play, it is very lively." ”

When Shang Ling'er heard this, she asked curiously, "The activities of the Wind Continent all day, does this prayer festival have any meaning?"

Hu Qingshu immediately smiled like a dog: "My lord, the Blessing Festival is the most important event of the year in the Tianfeng Continent, and it is now the end of June, and July is the hottest season in the Tianfeng Continent. ”

"But July is the season when the grain is ripe, and if there is too much rain, it will lead to a reduction in grain production, or even no harvest, so this prayer festival is an activity for the people to pray for less rainfall. ”

"The event is held on the Nanwan River in the north of Samba City, and there will be water boat races, water performances, all worship and other activities, in addition to these, all kinds of businesses will set up stalls there, forming a lively gathering. ”

Shang Ling'er's eyes lit up after hearing this, hugged Shang Bufan's arm, and said coquettishly: "Young master, let's go play tomorrow, okay?"

Shang Ling'er glanced at Qin Liangyu while being coquettish, and Shang Bufan nodded Shang Ling'er's nose with his finger and said, "Okay, I agreed to your ghost thoughts, let's go play tomorrow and see what the assembly here is like." ”

Qin Liangyu looked at Hu Qingshu and the others: "You guys are very good, go back first, and complete the task assigned by the young master as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. Hu Changhe, Gu Tianming, and Hu Qingshu replied respectfully and then left quickly, and soon disappeared into the night.

The night passed calmly, and when the sky was white the next day, the entire Samba City had begun to be noisy, and the gongs and drums were rising to the sky in an endless stream, Shang Bufan, Shang Ling'er, and Qin Liangyu walked out of the house and began to wash.

Shang Ling'er: "Young master, I didn't expect this blessing festival to be so lively, just when did I start beating gongs and drums, this festival atmosphere is very strong." ”

Shang Bufan: "Then let's hurry up a little bit, go to experience this exotic customs, see the customs of the people here, we will also follow the customs of the locals, and we should go deep into the folk to conduct research." ”

So the three of them washed up quickly, after washing, Shang Ling'er and Qin Liangyu dressed up for Shang Bufan, after dressing up, the two girls also carefully checked it, this is already what the two women must do every day, in the words of the two of them, now the young master's identity is different, and he must not be sloppy in dressing.

Shang Bufan objected a few times, but after the opposition was invalid, he could only let the two women toss, there was no way to resist them, since he couldn't resist, then he could only accept it, in fact, he was handsome every day, Shang Bufan was still very happy in his heart, with a tsundere appearance, it was not an exaggeration to show off.

After tidying up their appearance, the three of them went out to Nanwan River, Shang Bufan also held a folding fan in his hand, and the image of a beautiful son was undoubtedly revealed, coupled with his handsome face, because of the masculinity naturally revealed by Jiuyang Divine Skill, today it was decided to attract the attention of the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law, which was the two women's ridicule of Shang Bufan.

After walking for about ten minutes, the three of them merged into the flow of people, followed the flow of people, and listened to the cheers and discussions of the people around them.

"Last year, the Flowerless team was only one metre away from second place, and I seem to have heard that this year they have strong backing up and are determined to win the first place in the rowing. ”

"Haha, I've heard about it too, but the Silver Wolves have also hired strong support this year, maybe they will win the championship for a second time. ”

"What the hell are you guys talking about, the stronger the better, isn't it? ”

"Big brother, what you said is here. ”

"I seem to have heard reliable news, this year the City Lord's Mansion has invited the Ling Yue Fairy, and I can finally meet the lover of my dreams. ”

"Really, Fairy Lingyue is famous in our Beichen Dynasty, how could she appear in a small border city like ours?"

"That's it, don't be foolish, be careful that if you don't see Fairy Ling Yue by then, you will be besieged by everyone. ”

"How can I be nonsense, my cousin is on an errand in the City Lord's Mansion, he told me, there shouldn't be a fake. ”

"I'll go, brother, how dare your cousin divulge the secrets of the City Lord's Mansion? ”

"Hmph, I don't believe it, this matter is not a secret, this is what my cousin said, my cousin has been on an errand in the City Lord's Mansion for five years, don't you understand this rule?"

"Hey, everything is a dream, I just pray for a good harvest this year, and food prices will not rise. ”

Shang Bufan and the three of them followed the crowd to listen to all kinds of gossip, they felt very funny, especially Shang Ling'er, she had never seen such a scene, even the so-called temple fair in her previous life, she had never been there, and she was overjoyed for a while.

The crowd followed by Shang Bufan was early, out of the South City Gate, and walked to the Nanwan River three kilometers away from the South City Gate, at this time the sun had just risen, and the fiery red sunlight sprinkled on the earth, shining on everyone's faces, and many people cheered, as if the wind and rain were just around the corner.

With the passage of time, the 20-meter-wide Nanwan River became lively, and various businesses also set up stalls, eating, using, and playing with everything, and all kinds of shouts were endless, and Shang Linger pulled Shang Bufan into the crowd.

As soon as possible, Shang Ling'er led Shang Bufan and Qin Liangyu to the snack gathering place. When the three of them came here, they saw a dazzling array of snacks, such as common tofu brain, fried dough sticks, spicy soup, etc., which were no different from the earth and the water blue star.

There are also some snacks with the characteristics of Tianfeng Continent, such as carp porridge (this is a porridge made with carp slices, dried and ground powder, and auxiliary materials such as fungus and celery are put into it), special fruit fishing, roasted monster meat, etc.

Shang Ling'er watched all the way, asked all the way, and ate all the way, the three of them ate here for an hour and a half, and heard the sound of gongs and drums by the Nanwan River and began to rhythm, they knew that this was the beginning of the performance, so the three of them ended this rich breakfast trip and went to the Nanwan River to watch the excitement.

The three of them found a rather high place and went up lightly, and they had an unobstructed view from a high position.

What catches your eye is a variety of racing boats, these racing boats have their own characteristics, there are tiger head boats, wolf head boats, and unknown monster head boats, all of which are painted colorful and beautiful.

However, these boats all have the same characteristics, all of them are 20 meters long and 2 meters wide, and there are 36 scratching hands sitting in them, which is very similar to the dragon boats in China.

With the beginning of the rowing competition, the excitement by the Nanwan River reached its peak, the sound of cheering was endless, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums that soared to the sky, igniting the enthusiasm of this early summer, Shang Bufan and the three of them were also inexplicably excited, people in such an environment, it is inevitable that they will be affected.

At about 10:30 a.m., the knockout rounds of the tournament were completed, with eight of the 16 teams eliminated, and the remaining games starting at 2 p.m.

People on the banks of the Nanwan River also began to disperse, many went to the rally to hang out, and some began to prepare lunch. There are also people with children playing by the river, which seems very peaceful.

Shang Bufan looked at all this, he was a little entangled in his heart, should he break this peace? Once it is broken, it will be full of smoke, and when the time comes, will the lives be ruined, is he too cruel?
