The mist of the Bagan Peak does not dissipate all year round, and the sea of Ah Rishan is undisturbed, and from time to time a mist rises, permeating the clear water, like a mysterious and eternal veil.

Since the grand celebration of the Tengger people, Guo Yang has not shown up, which makes the old patriarch Jida faintly uneasy.

He often stepped out of his tent and rode a strange horse across the grasslands, urging his people to speed up production. Inadvertently, the old patriarch Gilda would look at the mysterious Bagen Peak for a long time, focused and solemn, as if there was a big man living there.

Anu appeared from time to time, and every month or two, he would appear in a stone house on the mountain of Bagan, issuing various orders through pigeons.

The new caravan was quickly formed, and the descendants of thirty merchants, including Ah Jiu Ah Tu Ah Yuan, quickly adapted to the life of the grassland, and were a bit like a fish in water, keeping the caravan in good order.

Through the caravan of Wangbeard in the Central Plains, Ah Jiu and his caravan continuously transported salt, grain, cloth, and various bronze utensils to the depths of the grassland, and then sold them to the grassland people through cooperation with hundreds of tribal leaders, large and small.

At the same time, horses, cattle and sheep, wool felt, cashmere and various medicinal herbs of the steppe people were also continuously transported by the caravan, so that Wangbeard's caravan made a lot of money.

However, compared with young people like Ah Jiu, Wang Huzi's life was not very satisfactory, and they were struggling under the decree of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce" vigorously promoted by the Zhou people and various vassal states. If it weren't for the foundation laid by Guo Yang back then, he established close ties with those vassal states and nobles early, it is estimated that they would not be able to last a few more years, and they would have to return to the mountains to become bandits.

The Tengger horsemen grew rapidly and outnumbered the original Bagan by several times. The only regret is that the number of Tengger people is too small, and they can't form a decent cavalry team for the time being.

However, these are top secrets, and the Tengger people dare not divulge their details, otherwise, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. The favorite of the jackals of the steppe is some weak tribe, but they have too many horses, cattle and sheep.

Of course, Guo Yang's caravan played a very subtle role in it.

They are nominally the best-connected iron buddies of the Tengger people, selling not only goods, but also feelings and fame. The Tengger people gained the support of more and more distant tribes, and the caravans continued to expand their business, penetrating deeper and farther into the steppe.

Had it not been for a premeditated robbery, the caravan would have grown in no time.

A caravan carrying a large amount of salt and cloth was ambushed by a group of steppe people more than 600 miles away from the mouth, and suffered heavy losses, killing more than 20 young men and losing all the salt and cloth.

The group of steppe people were very cunning, and after committing the crime, they did not leave any traces, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

Anu was furious, urgently summoned Ah Jiu Ah Tu and others, and inquired in detail about all the details of the caravan being robbed.

"Don't have a clue? Didn't reveal any news? Anu Tie blushed, took a handful of wine, and didn't put it to his mouth for a long time.

"Ah Tu and I went to check it in person, and the gang was definitely premeditated, killed people, seized things, and left immediately, leaving no traces." Ah Jiu said depressedly.

Since Guo Yang formed a caravan, this is the first time to suffer such a big loss, even if it was the first time that the caravan went out and went deep into the land of Liaodong, although it had gone through more than a dozen hard battles, it was all beaten to the ground and others were looking for teeth. It's like this time, people killed the people of the caravan and robbed things, and everyone could only sit here and sulk!

Anu's knuckles turned white when he served the wine, and with a "bang", he pinched and exploded a bronze wine lord, and the wine splashed all over him.

"What about the pigeons, the pigeons of the caravan did not bring any news either?" Anu asked gloomily.

"No, every caravan has to pick up ten pigeons, and in case of emergency, the message must be sent back immediately. This time, however, the pigeons all flew back, but without any message. According to our analysis, it may have been caught off guard, and we only had time to release the pigeons, and we didn't have time to write a letter. ”

The faces of Ah Jiu Ah Tu and the others were also ugly, they not only felt ashamed after suffering such a big loss, but the most important thing was that more than 20 brothers had died!

What a good brother, they are all the descendants of merchants who have been hand-selected and carefully trained, and they are all good men who value love and righteousness!

They did not die on the way to the charge, but in the ambush circle of others, and each of their bodies was shot into hedgehogs by random arrows. Thinking of this, Ah Jiu and them felt distressed, and in the middle of the night, they quietly cried several times.

If you don't avenge this revenge, you swear not to be a man!

When Guo Yang was still a teenager, he taught them that there is revenge and revenge, and there is kindness to repay kindness, and they may not be heroes who stand up to the sky, but they must be a man with affection and righteousness.

"Ah Jiu, temporarily stop the salt and cloth business, and cut off the supply to these jackals and dogs on the grassland. Lao Tzu wants to see who took that batch of salt. Also, call all of our people back and retrain. We can't just be satisfied with being a good businessman, we have to be a good hunter, let's fight those dog offal! Anu said fiercely, almost gritting his teeth.

"Yes!" Thirty descendants of merchants agreed and immediately set to action.

……

Ah Jiu brought a total of nearly 1,000 people from the Central Plains, and later, through the caravan, their relatives were successively brought to the grassland, so that three or four thousand descendants of merchants entered the grassland.

They were basically concentrated in the area within a hundred miles of the Bagen Divine Peak, so in less than half a day after receiving the news from the flying pigeon, the nearly 1,000 young people arrived quickly.

This time, Anu personally went out and inspected all the young people, dividing them into seven or eight groups.

ingenious, let them design and manufacture tools specifically; those who are good at management, let them be responsible for the management of the caravan in the future; Those who were good at tending to cattle and loved agriculture simply divided a large area of rich pasture for them, and gathered the horses, cattle, sheep, and mules of the merchants, so that these people could graze in a unified manner.

The largest number of people was the Hunters, with 800 men, which Anu called "800 Dead Soldiers".

"The so-called dead man is a person who is not afraid of death, dares to die, and is willing to die for the sake of love." Anu looked grim and said lightly.

"Yes!" Eight hundred people knelt on one knee and agreed with a bang.

"But you can't die, because I don't want you to die." Anu glanced at the eight hundred solemn-looking young men and said in a deep voice, "You always remember that the dead are not those who send them to death, but those who dare to die. ”

"I need you to live, because, from this day forward, you will always be hunters, not some bullshit prey!"

Anu's face was pale, and after the training, he immediately entered high-intensity training.

These 800 people had received a lot of training before, but in Anu's opinion, they were too unprofessional. It is an unforgivable mistake to ambush others who often ambush others.

As a punishment, Ah Jiu and Ah Tu and other thirty people were also incorporated into the ranks of 800 dead soldiers and returned to the furnace for training. They didn't say a word, and secretly made up their minds that they must lead these young people to become real hunters, not half-hearted pig killers.

Anu has a lot of training content, and it is full of arrangements day and night, which makes these young people with a very good martial arts foundation a little unbearable. But everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, and as soon as they thought of the twenty or so brothers who died tragically, their blood began to burn, and their eyes and hearts were filled with the flames of revenge.

In addition, according to his personal physique, Anu taught them two sets of high-level exercises, which were actually demon cultivation exercises, so that their combat effectiveness increased by leaps and bounds.

Moreover, Anu also formulated a series of reward and punishment systems, and if the training progress is fast, he can drink a jue of wine after each assessment, and then teach him further exercises. Those who are slow in training do not have this treatment.

If you don't reward you, you're punished, Anu said it very clearly.

Everyone was training for their lives, and many people were injured. Anu turns a blind eye to this, as long as you haven't lost your breath, when it's time to train, you have to get up for Lao Tzu and roll into those mud, or gravel piles, or those forests full of dangers and challenges.

Every once in a while, everyone will be given a pale cyan pill. The pill tasted weird, a little burnt, not delicious at all, but it could quickly eliminate the fatigue of the day, and it could also increase some strength.

No one dared to inquire what that pill was, because Anu had a gloomy face all day long, and even Ah Jiu and the others didn't dare to squeak.

……

Soon, more than half a year passed, and their basic training was over, and they entered the so-called "law of survival" training.

Anu divided the 800 men into two groups and divided them into two camps, and then sent them into a large canyon in the mountains behind the Bagan Peak, where they fought each other day and night.

Intrigues, conspiracies, head-on conflicts, assassinations and kidnappings, despicable and obscene, shameless, and do everything.

In short, just beat your opponents.

Anu's only request for 800 people is that no one is allowed to die, and the rest is free.

"Hunters have hunters' survival rules, if you want to continue to be a stupid pig, say hello to me as soon as possible, Lao Tzu will let you go, go back to the tent like a pig's nest and have children. Maybe you can give birth to a litter of rabbit cubs for you businessmen, who will be ambushed and let the dog's arrows shoot into hedgehogs! ”

Anu's words were heavy, and the eight hundred people drooped their unkempt heads deeply, and tears rained down.

Eight hundred dead soldiers entered the Grand Canyon, and no one could say what was in it, except for Anu who was like an old fox and Guo Yang, who was ruthless.

Because, that Grand Canyon has been carefully transformed by the two of them, and it has become an existence that is almost a forbidden area for life.

Guo Yang and Anu have a very clear meaning, as hunters, they must not only learn to fight with their prey, but also learn to fight with the sky, the earth, and the unpredictable fate of bullshit in the dark. Only in this way can everyone grow up quickly.

Watching the eight hundred dead soldiers disappear at the entrance of the Grand Canyon, Guo Yang quietly appeared, standing beside Anu, looking at it for a long time with half-squinted eyes.

"Young master, you really won't die?" Anu was a little worried, frowned and asked.

"Maybe." Guo Yang said lightly.

"Young master, these people are all of our family." Anu was a little unsure and a little anxious when he heard Guo Yang, after all, this group of people are the most elite of the descendants of merchants, and even if they are released now, they are also a well-known hero.

"A tiger without arms and legs is better than a dog with five legs. Don't worry, we'll have to make them old foxes. Guo Yang said, his face was quite tired, and he seemed to have not rested much for a long time.

"Young Master...... The quality of those pills seems to be getting better and better. Anu saw that Guo Yang was a little depressed, and said with some comfort.

"What kind of bullshit elixir, the more Lao Tzu refines, the more upset he becomes, in seventy or eighty furnaces, at most one or two furnaces can be successful, and they are all low-grade. The elixir is running out again, so we have to find a way to get another batch. ”

Guo Yang's temper suddenly turned bad, and with a "bang" punch, a pine tree with the thickness of a bowl mouth not far away was interrupted in the air, and the tall crown of the tree fell down with a bang, raising a puff of dust.
