Chapter 547: The Secret City of the Mo Family
Judging from Zhai Yin's statement, the Du family fire and the attack on the Yan manor are very likely to be committed by the Cai family, at least the other families in Xiangyang think that this is the case, otherwise there would not be so many family members of the Yin Cai clan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info finally forced the head of the Cai family to come out and swear that he would never do similar things to the Xiangyang family in the future.
The ancients believed in heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, and took oaths very seriously.
He came out and took the oath, and he swore on behalf of the family, and the other families recognized the result.
The tragedy of the Du family and the Yan family has happened, and it cannot be changed, and it can be regarded as a good result to force the Cai family to publicly swear and make a promise. The struggle between the Xiangyang family has returned to the model that everyone has recognized for a long time.
On the surface, the Cai family was forced to swear that there was no face, and the face was not lightly damaged, but from the objective results, four of the five major families in Xiangyang in the past have declined, and only the Cai family is outstanding, and the Cai family can be said to have won a complete victory. The weighty opponents are gone, the Xiangyang area has returned to the normal mode of family fighting, and there is no family that can compete with the Cai family, and the Cai family's hegemony in Xiangyang has been unshakable so far.
Cai's only lost a little face, but he won almost everything.
If it weren't for the fact that all families shared the same hatred and hatred, used radical means to deal with the Cai family, and forced the Cai family to swear as a talisman, the Zhai family, who had several generations of grievances with the Cai family, would probably be difficult to continue to thrive in the Xiangyang realm.
The Du family and the Yan family suffered an accident, which happened after the head of the Cai family was replaced by Cai Mao.
The fire in Du's and the attack on Yan's are difficult to explain with simple natural and man-made disasters, and Cai's is the most suspicious. If it was done by the Cai family, Cai Mao, the head of the family at the time, would definitely be inextricably linked, and it was likely to be the mastermind of many incidents. Cai Mao's previous head of the family was Cai Wei, Cai Wei was a Nanjun Dashi and had a great reputation, although Cai Wei also had fights with other families when he was in charge of the Cai family, but his actions were within the normal scope and were not out of line.
The owner of the house has changed, and the style is very different.
Cai Mao's threat index suddenly increased in Yu Buzhi's heart.
arson to extinguish Du's door shows that he is ruthless; Asking Wuling Kou to attack the Yan clan shows that he is bold; aroused the anger of the public and vowed to get out, which shows that it can bend and stretch; Defecting to Liu Biao is highly used, which shows that his long sleeves are good at dancing. It is definitely not a pleasant thing to face people who possess these qualities.
What's more, there is also a huge family force that supports Cai Mao.
In recent years, the Cai family's power has grown steadily, and its influence is no longer limited to a corner of Xiangyang, and has now grown into one of the largest families in Nanjun. Cai's daughter is about to marry Liu Biao as the stepfamily, and by that time, Cai's power in Jingzhou will reach its peak, and it will be difficult to find a rival opponent except for the Zhonglu Kuo clan.
If there is a chance to choose, Yu Buzhi doesn't want to compete with someone like Cai Mao.
Brother is a lord player, and playing against historical figures is the right development path for lord players?
But he didn't have a choice.
was targeted by the mastermind behind the scenes, and he couldn't hold back.
Judging from the current situation, Cai Mao has all the conditions to become the mastermind behind the scenes.
He can ask for Wu Lingkou; He has the strength and guts to let a Taishou take the risk of crossing the border for him; Yan Ji is likely to be the orphan of the Yan family, and after Xu's mother took her in, she was pursued, and finally dispatched Wuling Kou, which is intriguing; There are only a few people in Jingzhou who can make Wuling Army and Wuling Kou join forces......
Yu Buzhi asked, "Do you still remember, what year did the Yan clan be attacked by Wuling Kou?" ”
"It's six years of light and harmony."
Guanghe is the year name during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the sixth year of Guanghe, that is, 183, a year before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Xu Mu came to chase the deer during that time, and the timeline is also highly consistent.
In Yu Buzhi's mind, he quickly sorted out a sequence of events.
The Yan clan was attacked by Wuling Kou...... Yan Ji met Xu's mother by chance...... Wu Lingkou pursued Xu Mu...... Due to Chen Zhi's desperate escort and the timely response of the Zhulu Army, Xu's mother arrived safely at the Zhulu Territory...... In the Battle of the Yellow Turban, Wuling Kou attacked and returned with a heavy defeat...... In the battle of Dong Zhuo, Wuling Kou and Wuling Army appeared at the same time......
Logically, cause and effect are fully established.
Yu Buzhi smiled bitterly and asked again, "Do you know the Miss Yan family who is going to marry into the Du family?" ”
Zhai Jian shook his head: "After the defeat of the Zhai family, his subordinates went to Lumen Mountain to study, and most of the time they were on the mountain, rarely returned to their homes in Xiangyang, and never saw Miss Yan. I heard that the young lady of the Yan family was very beautiful, but because of the accident between the Du family and the Yan family, the clansmen became angry with the young lady of the Yan family, regarded her as a disaster star, and did not allow her to continue to stay in the Yan settlement, and the young lady of the Yan family was forced to leave her hometown, which was very pitiful. ”
Yu Buzhi suspects that Yan Ji is Miss Yan and wants to find someone to confirm it.
Zhai Jian didn't know, so he had to give up.
If you want to know more information, you have to wait for the ink people sent to Xiangyang to make progress.
The Wuling Army's cross-border incident has not subsided, Cai Mao is anxious and too busy to take care of herself, and Yu Buzhi is not in a hurry.
"You just said that the Yan clan was prepared before the attack, and trained Zhuang Yong, and also purchased a batch of trap beasts to strengthen the manor's defense, and the trap beasts were bought from the Mo family, right?"
"Exactly. The Yan clan is a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and they know where the secret city of the Mo family is. Fortunately, their family master was prescient, if it weren't for the help of those trap beasts, I am afraid that they would not be able to wait for the rescue of other families, and Yanjiazhuang would be attacked by Wuling Kou. ”
Yu Buzhi nodded silently.
The Mo family is hard-working and has very low material requirements, but with a huge sect, all kinds of expenses will not be less, and the Mo family also needs to do some business to ensure the healthy and orderly operation of the sect.
In addition to the dead, the most powerful thing for ink is the trick.
As mentioned before, the sale of organ bags is the main source of income for the Mo family.
Although the Mohist machine master lineage seems to be a little withered, the mechanism manufacturing technology inherited by the Mohist still has absolute technical advantages. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Mo family secretly opened a secret market for traps and beasts, and some relatively simple standard trap packs were sold in the secret market.
The trap pack sold in the Mojia Secret City is not a fake and shoddy product with the title "Mojia Arrow Tower" sold in the system store, but a standard trap beast with real combat effectiveness.
One of the distinctive features of the Trap Beasts sold in the Secret Market is that they are all defensive types.
It's not that the Mohist mechanics can't create an offensive trap beast, it's related to the Mohist concept of "non-offensive", and the concept of "non-offensive" is, to put it bluntly, against aggressive wars. The Mo family needs funds to maintain the operation of the sect, and still adheres to the concept of the sect, no matter how high the customer's bid, there will be no offensive beasts entering the market.
The customers of the secret market are mainly wealthy families, schools, sects and merchants.
These neutral NPC forces lack sufficient self-defense capabilities, and the Trap Beasts can give them some help.
- After Yu Buzhi drew the crusade order, he once pondered attacking the settlements of wealthy families, famous families, and merchants, and dreamed of easily plundering the technology, talents, and wealth of neutral NPC forces. Regardless of whether the crusade order can attack the neutral NPC forces, he later learned about the existence of the Mo family's secret city, and knew that the neutral NPC was not as powerless as he imagined, and secretly glad that he did not do stupid things on impulse.
The Mojia Organ Beast Defense Effect is quite good, the market reputation is very good, and the government sometimes sends people to patronize the secret market. The Mo family didn't care about this, the trap beasts they sold were all defensive types, and it was difficult for others to use their trap beasts to do evil, and that was enough. Perhaps it is precisely because the Mo family does not sell offensive institutions and does not resist government procurement, the government also turns a blind eye to the existence of the secret market, after hundreds of years of changes, the address of the secret city has been moved many times, and the secret city of the Mo family still exists.
According to Yu Di, at the peak of the Secret Market, there were a total of eight types of defensive trap beasts for sale.
Due to the gradual decline of the Mo family's mechanics over the years, many of the mechanism skills have been lost, and some of the previously easily obtained mechanism materials have gradually become scarce, and the number of mechanism beasts provided by the secret city has continued to decrease.
Until the end of the Yellow Turban Campaign, the Secret City can only provide three Trap Beasts for customers to choose from.
After Yu Di returned to the sect, he searched for the codex of the giants of the past dynasties, successfully broke through the bottleneck, and with his extraordinary talent, he forcibly deduced the manufacturing methods of the two standard mechanism beasts in a reverse way, and the secret city mechanism beasts were restored to five kinds.
The five types of trap beasts are the largest number of types of trap beasts sold in the Mojia Secret Market for more than a hundred years.
The restoration of the two kinds of Trap Beasts not only increases the richness of the Secret Market's commodities and allows customers to choose the combination of Trap Beasts they need more flexibly, but more importantly, there is a Trap Beast with a relatively high level. The appearance of a long-lost high-level Organ Beast in the Secret City has aroused strong interest from potential customers, and the orders for Organ Beasts received recently have increased significantly, and the economic situation of the sect has improved significantly.
Bird Di is working to restore other methods of manufacturing Trap Beasts, or to invent new ones.
It is not for nothing that the Mo family regards him as the greatest hope for the revival of the sect.
After communicating with Zhai Yin, Yu Buzhi had a preliminary understanding of Cai Mao's danger and destructive power. More and more clues point to Cai Mao, but the information that we know now is not enough to conclude that Cai Mao is the mastermind behind the scenes.
The days passed.
The construction frenzy set off by Zhulu City has continued to make progress.
The junior jewelry store is put into operation!
Stationery shops and bathhouses were also built one after another, and they began to serve the villagers!
The Intermediate Kiln Upgrade is complete!
After the upgrade of the high-level weaving workshop, it was immediately promoted to the top weaving workshop by Yi Feng with drawings!
The heavy infantry training camp was completed, and the enthusiasm for joining the army was extremely high, and the 1000 tank battalion was quickly filled!
Except for the primary lacquerware workshop and the primary jade shop, which cannot be built for the time being due to a lack of skilled personnel, other buildings are under construction step by step. The Blacksmith's Mansion, the Master's Mansion and the Market, the progress of the project is more than halfway, and it will not be too far from the date of completion, but the construction progress bar of Tongquetai is still moving at a turtle speed, and it seems that it will take a long time to get a full picture of this special and unique building.
The fish is not wise and calm, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
If you are really anxious, find the stone wall as a reference and compare, and the mood will be much more comfortable.
No matter how slow the progress of Tongque Terrace is, can it be slower than the damn stone wall?
One of the most recently completed buildings in the Territory is the Junior Training Centre.
The construction of the primary training center was completed, and Zhai Jian took office, but he had nothing to do in the training center, and the territory had no plan to train transfer talents through the training center. Zhai Jian was mentally prepared for this, and he was not in a hurry, so he leisurely helped in the administrative center, and seized the time to familiarize himself with the administrative affairs of the territory.
Zhai Jian seems to be calm, but in fact, he wants to prove his worth very much.
The lord said that he should familiarize himself with government affairs first, and then make adjustments when the time is right.
Zhai Jian didn't think it was polite words.
There is a shortage of excellent officials in the Zhulu Leader, Zhai Jian is the most capable orthodox official in the Zhulu Leader, and he doesn't believe that the lord will let him do an idle job for a long time. Zhai Jian has not been in the territory for a long time, but he also knows that the lord is famous for knowing people and being good at his duties, otherwise it would be impossible for the deer leader to achieve what it is today.
Zhai Jian and Yi Feng are both from Lumen Mountain, and the two have a very good personal relationship, and they will not compete with Yi Feng for the position of deputy city lord. After he joined the territory, he was quickly informed of the existence of the Flying Fish Lord, and Zhai Jian thought that it was very likely that the lord would send him to the Flying Fish Lord in the future.
Zhai Jian did not resist sending him to the Flying Fish Collar.
At present, the head of the Flying Fish Lord is Xun Yan, a famous man from the Yingchuan Xun clan.
With Xun Yan's background and talent, being stationed in a special territory by the lord for such a long time is somewhat overkill, but the lord was unmoved, and Mr. Xiu Ruo didn't complain.
Zhai Jian was a little incomprehensible, and he was full of emotion in his heart.
is worthy of being the senior brother of the Yingchuan Xun clan, and his qi cultivation kung fu really makes him unreachable!
He is worthy of being the number one city lord in the world, and his ability to dominate his subordinates is breathtaking!
Mr. Hugh Ruo is so desperate to follow, there is no doubt about the excellence of the lord!
But it is unlikely that Xun Yan will stay in the Flying Fish Collar all the time.
Such a small stage is not enough for Xun Yan to display his talents; Moreover, the lord and Bohai Taishou are friends, and with the help of the brotherly relationship between Mr. Huruo and Mr. Youruo, the necessity of escorting the Flying Fish Leader is greatly reduced; The most important thing is that he has recently joined, and there is an additional middle-level official in the territory, and there should be no problem taking care of the special territory instead of Xun Yan; With all of the above, Xun Yan will leave the special territory sooner or later and return to the main city.
Judging from the existing manpower in the territory, once Xun Yan leaves the Flying Fish Territory, the most likely person to take over is Zhai Yin.
When Zhai Jian was looking forward to the future, Yu Buzhi left the territory and went to Jiangzhou to meet Zhao.
He went to Zhao for two main purposes.
First, solve the problem of skilled talents in the territory.
The lacquer workers and jade craftsmen have not been settled so far, although it will be a long time before the territory buildings are fully completed, Yu Buzhi is still more willing to solve the problem as soon as possible, and his heart is steady. His friendship with Zhao is extraordinary, recently he tried his best to help Zhao fight against the pressure of the state capital, Zhao also once helped the Wuling army to retreat from the enemy, the two families are closer, and the relationship is quite iron.
befriended Yuan Shao, and it was clear that they were using each other; Dealing with Zhao Bu, I actually feel a little bit of a friend.
Looking for Zhao Bu's dignitaries, Yu Buzhi will not have a little psychological burden.
If Zhulu Ling encounters business difficulties and doesn't ask Zhao for help, wouldn't he look down on his friends?
Second, Yu Buzhi planned to share with Zhao Bu the information about the mastermind behind the command of the Wuling Army to cross the border, which had just been found by Zhulu Ling.
