By the time it was time to eat dinner normally, Wang Zhiyuan, Yun Qing and Ji Taixiang had not come back, and Gongye Yuanzhou, Zhang Qian, Kang Kui and others let Cao Yi eat first, Cao Yi shook his head and said: "You eat first, I don't know if you still have night training at night, don't worry about me, I'll wait for them to come back and eat together." ”

After the three of Gongye Yuanzhou called twice, they didn't wait for Cao Yi anymore, they did have one and training at night, so in the end, they had to eat first.

After another half an hour, Wang Zhiyuan and the others were late, their faces were all tired, Cao Yi looked at Ji Taixiang, his steps were staggering, and he seemed to be limping when he walked, and he didn't know if he had fallen.

"What's wrong?" Cao Yi pouted at Ji Taixiang's leg, "Did you fall off today?" ”

Ji Taixiang grinned in embarrassment, shook his head and said, "That's not true, it's just a hot pain from the friction of the horse's back between the inner thighs!" ”

"Hahaha, this is already good, you are actually the first day, I fell on the second day and fell a flat sand and goose style, and I fell my ass for three or four days, I thought you were the same."

Cao Yi laughed self-deprecatingly, and then turned his head to look at Wang Zhiyuan: "Uncle Wang, how did you run a few places today?" ”

Wang Zhiyuan's expression on his face was not very happy, and he complained: "The sun is too fierce today, we ran all day, although we have seen two places, but it is really only one." ”

"Oh? How so? The other one is bad, isn't it? Cao Yi asked puzzled.

"That's not really, the first place can only be said to be passable, but it is very hidden, as for the second ...... We just took a closer look outside today, the terrain is very good, it is a valley, and the entrance of the valley is a line of sky, but this line of sky is quite spacious, enough for a car and horse to enter, but if someone is guarding inside, it is really a man who is not open. Wang Zhiyuan said with pity.

"Uncle Wang, the reason why you don't go in, is this already a land with a lord?" Cao Yi guessed.

Wang Zhiyuan nodded: "We took a lot of effort, slowly and quietly touched the mountains on both sides of the valley, and carefully observed with the Thousand Miles Divine Mirror, there were dozens of mountain bandits inside. ”

"Mountain bandits? Are you sure? Not a reclusive civilian? Cao Yi questioned, mainly in this era, many hermits are looking for this kind of inaccessible place, and they live in it for a lifetime, and there are also those who moved their families a long time ago in order to escape the war, Cao Yi is deeply afraid of this.

"No, there are school grounds, there are weapons arranged, and there are people practicing martial arts, but the key is that there are no women, children and the elderly, all of them are men,......" Wang Zhiyuan explained.

In this way, Cao Yi also judged that this group should be mountain bandits, no matter which dynasty, there will be, basically more than a dozen people, dozens of people, hundreds of people in Ou City occupy the mountains as kings, and make a living by robbing nearby village chiefs and towns or passing caravans.

Like Cao Yi, the Purple Pole Mountain Villa where they are staying now was also occupied by bandits before, and they bought it after they defeated the bandits.

However, Cao Yi has thought about it, and the places where secret organizations like Shadow Kill and Dust Light stay still have to be unknown, so Cao Yi's thoughts, even if he finds this kind of suitable terrain, he doesn't plan to buy it from the government, in this era, the terrain and mapping are not as comprehensive as in modern times, and this kind of uninhabited deep mountains and deep valleys are basically borderless land.

Although it is said that the whole world is not the king's land, and it is the current official family in the territory of Dayan, but this kind of place, even if you occupy it, others will not say anything. In line with the principle of security and confidentiality, Cao Yi and Wang Zhiyuan have communicated, even if they find a suitable place in the future, they will not ask the government to buy it, and silence is the key.

Cao Yi looked at Wang Zhiyuan and frowned: "That's difficult!" ”

"Yes! We can only go to the other two places tomorrow to have a look, if we find a good fit, then give up the second place, if the latter two are similar to the first, not as good as the second one......" Wang Zhiyuan said and did not continue here.

"What are you going to do?" Cao Yi asked.

"I've also communicated with the military advisor on the way here, if the next two are not good tomorrow, I will take twenty Taibai secret guards to the second place, and I will sneak in and investigate carefully." Yun Qing on the side said.

"What if the second place is a good place for our Shadow Kill and Dustlight's secret base?" Cao Yi looked at Yun Qing and said.

"This is exactly what we want to discuss with you...... Wang Zhiyuan said, his face was grim.

"Hmmm! Taixiang, you go to eat first, after eating, have a good rest, tomorrow you will continue to follow Uncle Wang and Brother Yun to explore the other two places......" Cao Yi turned his head and said to Ji Taixiang, who had been listening silently beside him.

"Ahh Oh good! After Ji Taixiang responded with three short words, he nodded to everyone and went directly to the cafeteria, where Cao Yi had already arranged for the chef to prepare dinner for those who didn't eat later.

"Cao Yi, tell me, what are your plans?" Wang Zhiyuan waited for Ji Taixiang to leave and then asked, he knew that Cao Yi had separated Ji Taixiang, and there must be some information that was not suitable for Ji Taixiang to know.

"What about you? What do you think? Cao Yi didn't answer immediately, but asked Wang Zhiyuan and Yun Qing rhetorically.

Wang Zhiyuan and Yun Qing glanced at each other, Yun Qing motioned to Wang Zhiyuan, and after the latter coughed, he said, "Cao Yi, my idea is ...... Take it for yourself! ”

"Hmm......" Cao Yi pondered for a moment and said: "I also have this idea, but how to possess it, how to deal with the original people, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"The two of us and the military advisor also had this idea on the way here, neither of us made a final decision on what to do with the original people, I wanted to come back and talk to my son, and you will make the decision......" Yun Qing looked at Cao Yi and said.

"Uh......" Cao Yi's face froze, this question is too difficult to choose.

"Let's eat first, I don't have any good ideas at the moment, you have been running outside for a day, and the dry food you eat at noon is dry, eat first, it's hard to say that you have an idea after eating!" In the end, Cao Yi was not easy to make a decision for a while, so he had to say that he would eat first and talk about it after eating.

Cao Yi asked the guards at the door to move the dinner directly to this wooden house, and they could discuss it while eating, and finally Cao Yi thought of the best of both worlds.

"Uncle Wang, Brother Yun, we can first see if this group of people is a traitor or a kind-hearted person, and then make different responses." Halfway through dinner, Cao Yi suddenly had an idea, an idea popped up in his mind, and he spoke.

Wang Zhiyuan drank all the contents of the cup and said: "How can you judge this, like the surrounding people asking, it seems that there are no people next to it at all?" ”

"No, you don't!" Cao Yi took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely while chewing.

"Didn't you say there were dozens of them? Then we will take fifty of the most powerful Heavenly Hundred Dark Guards to pretend to be a caravan in front of them, and if necessary, we can show our wealth, such as accidentally knocking down a chest and scattering a lot of silver, so as to attract them to come and rob it, and then we can transfer them five hundred taels of silver, and beg them to let us go and see how they react. ”

"Good! This is good for attracting you into the urn! Wang Zhiyuan's eyes lit up and he spoke.

"If they kill us all, then we will take the opportunity to exterminate them all and take their territory!" Wang Zhiyuan slapped the wine glass in his hand on the table, quite excited.

"But...... What if they take the money and let us go? Yun Qing on the side asked suspiciously.

"It's easy to do, if they let us go, we'll take back their territory, pretend to be black to eat and drink, and drive them away!" Cao Yi said unhurriedly.

"Black eats black?" Yun Qing was a little puzzled.
