Ouyang Xi led the carriages and horses of the Black Wind Village Brigade up the slope and slowly entered the passage in the middle of the cliff.

When everyone entered the dark and cool passage one after another, Nie Zheng sat on his horse and looked around quite curiously.

Eventually, he was amazed to discover that the narrow passage in the middle of the cliff was a marvelous work of nature.

Because, this passage that curves upwards is simply a small canyon.

The canyon is about hundreds of meters long, and the cliffs on both sides are as high as seven or eight feet, and in some places, even higher.

From the mouths of the people behind him, I learned that this steep canyon of "two zhang sky" is the only passage to Shenjiazhai in front, so easy to defend and difficult to attack, the majestic and dangerous natural barrier, I don't know how Shen Hongyu found it.

On the way to follow Ouyang Xi through the canyon, Nie Zheng was also surprised to find that on the top of the rocks on both sides of the canyon, there were a large number of defensive traps such as sassal wood rolling stones and sail grass oil drums.

Seeing these things, Nie Zheng sighed secretly, Shen Jiazhai occupies this steep barrier known as "Two Zhangtian", if they really encounter the enemy attacking the mountain, they can completely achieve the defensive advantage of being a man and a man.

It is no wonder that Shen Jiazhai, under the leadership of Shen Hongyu, only took a few years to develop the cottage into such a grand scale.

After winding around the steep canyon for about a quarter of an hour, the caravan of chariots and horses had rounded a bend when suddenly, the scene ahead suddenly became clear.

I only saw this section, the space in the canyon, there was a significant expansion, the passage in the middle, from the original two zhang wide, slowly extended forward, to the end of the canyon, the whole canyon was actually five or six zhang wide.

At this time, Nie Zheng sat on his horse and looked ahead, only to see that dozens of meters in front of him was the end of the canyon.

At the end of the canyon, a huge cottage gatehouse has already been built.

The gatehouse is all made of huge stones and waist-thick logs, and in the middle of the gatehouse is a huge wooden gate about two feet wide.

On the left and right sides of the gate, two wooden and stone watchtowers with a height of more than ten meters were built.

The scale of the two watchtowers is quite huge, and when designing and building them, the cliffs on both sides of the canyon are cleverly used, and the two watchtowers are close to the cliff stone walls, and are built layer by layer.

However, in addition to the huge gate in front of him, which made Nie Zheng feel a little shocked, at the same time, the more shocking scene was behind the huge gatehouse.

Originally, behind the gate tower of the canyon, there was a gentle and open slope with an upward slope.

The area of the slope is very large, according to Nie Zheng's visual measurement, at least hundreds of acres.

On such an open and gentle slope, there are full of houses and courtyards built everywhere, rough and rough, no less than 1,000 rooms, but it is not surprising to think about it, you must know that the entire Shenjiazhai has a total of eight branches, plus some old and weak women and children and other family members, there are more than 2,000 people up and down.

With such a large population, if there are not enough houses, there is no place for it.

At this moment, outside the gate of the Shen family, Nie Zheng clearly saw that an elegant man dressed as a scholar about sixty years old was leading hundreds of leaders of the Shen family, waiting at the gate of the village with a respectful expression.

After seeing the elegant scholar, Nie Zheng immediately guessed his identity, this person is Shen Hongyu's father-in-law and also Shen Jiazhai's think tank military advisor, Mr. Yi Zixuan Yi.

Nie Zheng learned from Yang Feihu before that before Shen Hongyu left Heifeng Village, Mr. Yi was the military advisor of Heifeng Village, and later, Shen Hongyu was driven out of Heifeng Village by Nie Zheng, and as Shen Hongyu's father-in-law, he had to leave Heifengling with him.

Over the years, the reason why Shen Jiazhai has been able to develop so rapidly is that in addition to Shen Hongyu's strong personal ability, it is also inseparable from Yi Zixuan's assistance that day.

When the convoy of the Black Wind Village was about to drive to the gate of the village, all of a sudden, Yi Zixuan led all the bandit leaders of the Shen family village, and walked forward quickly, and came to the front of the high-headed horse ridden by Nie Zheng, and the leaders of the Shen family bowed respectfully and said, "Meet the Nie master!" ”

In the face of Yi Zixuan's salute, Nie Zheng didn't dare to hold it up, you must know that this person is the same generation as his father Nie Shirong, and when Nie Shirong was alive before, he also called Yi Zixuan Mr.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng immediately turned over and dismounted, hurriedly stepped forward to help Yi Zixuan up, and said, "Sir, please get up quickly, how can the juniors be able to do so, how dare they receive such a big gift from Mr.?" Sir's move, is it to torment the younger generation? ”

Yi Zixuan smiled slightly and said: "Nie Da came to worship the mountain today as the lord of a mountain, although Yi is old, how can he rely on the old and sell the old, and break the mountain rules left by the ancestors." Nie Da Boss quickly led the people to invite in, and the cold village had already prepared a banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Nie Da and the Black Wind Brothers, and celebrate the festival together! ”

"The junior has thanked Mr. here." Nie Zheng returned the salute.

After that, Nie Zheng led the brigade of Black Wind Village and slowly drove into Shenjia Village.

When more than 100 truckloads of money, grain and materials transported by Heifeng Village poured into Shenjiazhai in an endless stream, it suddenly caused a sensation in the entire Shenjiazhai.

I saw that in the huge cottage, all the old and weak women and children, and the bandits, ran to each other to announce that it was the uncle of the Black Wind Village, and this time not only came to worship the mountain in person, but also brought a lot of money, food, materials, livestock, poultry, and so on...... The sheer number of gifts and the sheer number of gifts is simply dizzying.

Just a moment after Nie Zheng entered Shenjiazhai, in the blink of an eye, he saw a large number of old and weak women and bandits pouring out of the alleys of the houses in the cottage, coming to watch.

In the face of the greetings and cheers of thousands of people in Shenjiazhai, the people and horses in Heifeng Village felt a little proud and proud, and said in their hearts, in the past, it was always Shenjiazhai who gave them gifts to Heifengling, but now, they Heifeng Village can also give gifts to Shenjiazhai, and this time the gift is heavy enough to shock anyone.

The entire cottage building plan of Shenjiazhai is a bit like a small town.

In the middle of the cottage is a road about 10 meters wide, and on both sides of the road, there are rows of houses of different heights.

The road slopes upwards and leads to the end of the cottage.

Nie Zheng sat on a horse, looked around, and found that at the end of the cottage, there was a sloping square with a radius of nearly a kilometer, and directly above the square, a large-scale Juyi Hall was built.

You don't have to think about it to know that the reception banquet that Mr. Yi prepared for their Black Wind Village is located in the Juyi Hall.

Nie Zheng led the people and horses of Heifeng Village, and walked towards Juyi Hall with his head held high, judging from the proud expressions of everyone, this group of turtles in Heifeng Village has a kind of salted fish turning over and raising their eyebrows.

At this moment, in Shenjiazhai, more and more members joined the ranks of greeting and cheering.

Among these welcoming crowds, there were many women and children, and judging from their happy expressions, it was estimated that many of them were relatives and family members of Heifeng Village.

Nie Zheng sat on the tall horse, and from time to time he heard good minions and naughty children on both sides of the road, "Uncle, Uncle" cheering loudly.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng also smiled casually, and then ordered his subordinates to spend copper coins to reward them.

For a while, copper coins were flying all over the sky, and on both sides of the road in Shenjiazhai, countless women, children and children were robbing and laughing, in short, because of the arrival of my uncle today, the whole Shenjiazhai was extremely lively.

For Nie Zheng and the people in Shenjiazhai, some are familiar and some are unfamiliar.

But there is no doubt that almost all the members of Shen Jiazhai have more or less heard that Nie Da in charge of Heifeng Village is their uncle in Shen Jiazhai.

After Nie Zheng ordered his men and horses to hand over all the chariots and horses to the hall master of the Shen family, who was in charge of logistics, he entered the Juyi Hall of the Shen family with the support of Yi Zixuan and others.

At noon on the same day, in the Juyi Hall of Shenjiazhai, the fragrance of vegetables was overflowing, the smell of wine was wafting, the lobby was pushing cups and asking for cups, and the sound of fist drawing and laughter was endless, and the atmosphere was extremely lively......

·····················

After the lively luncheon, Nie Zheng gave a day off to the leaders of Black Wind Village, so that they could do whatever they liked.

After all, today is the Qingfeng Festival, and this group of minions stay in Heifengling with them on weekdays, and it is rare to have the opportunity to see their mother-in-law and children, and since they are here this time, they have to leave some time to have a chance to reunite with their families.

Otherwise, as the big boss of Black Wind Village, he will be a little unkind.

After the luncheon, after everyone had dispersed, Yi Zixuan invited Nie Zheng to his residence to catch up.

In an elegant and quiet bamboo building courtyard, Yi Zixuan and Nie Zheng sat opposite each other.

After a maid served fragrant tea, she obediently withdrew.

Looking at the slender and beautiful figure of the maid, Nie Zheng was secretly a little depressed in his heart, and said in his heart, people are more popular than people! Lao Tzu is also the master of a village in Heifeng Village, and Nima can't find a decent woman in the entire cottage.

And this Yi Zixuan in front of him is just a think tank military advisor in Shenjiazhai, and there is a Peugeot maid to serve him in his residence, it seems that after going back this time, he must tell Fang Fatzi to find a few beautiful maids for him to serve him as soon as possible, otherwise, his life as a mountain king will be too much of a failure.

Seeing that Nie Zheng was suddenly silent, Yi Zixuan couldn't help but ask, "Why did Shaoying suddenly become so depressed?" ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng hurriedly came back to his senses, tried to hide the obscene thoughts in his heart, and pretended to sigh: "Why don't you see the red jade today?" ”

Yi Zixuan took a sip of tea lightly, and said lightly: "Since you drove her out of Heifengling last time, you haven't taken the initiative to contact her for several years, and it's normal for a daughter's family to have some resentment in her heart." ”

Nie Zheng's expression darkened, and he said, "She doesn't want to see me, right?" ”

Yi Zixuan smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and asked, "If it were you, what would you do?" ”

Nie Zheng shook his head and pretended to be frustrated: "I did go too far back then, but I really came here sincerely this time to get her forgiveness, what if she refuses to see me?" ”

Yi Zixuan sighed softly and said, "You are also an elm head, she doesn't want to come out to see you, won't you go to her?" ”

Nie Zheng's eyes lit up, and he said a little dejected in an instant: "I'm afraid that if I go to find her, she still refuses to see me." ”

Yi Zixuan pondered for a moment and said, "The bell must be tied to the bell, if you don't go, how do you know that she won't see you?" Besides, even if she doesn't see you, it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to see you, it's just that she is angry, you just need to be more patient. ”

As soon as these words came out, Nie Zheng suddenly understood, and immediately arched his hand and said, "Thank you Uncle Yi for your advice, I'll go find her now." ”

Yi Zixuan smiled, nodded and said: "Go ahead, go, remember to speak softly, Hongyu, this girl, eat soft or hard, you should know this better than me, wait a minute, don't be as irritable and impulsive as usual." ”

"Well, I know that."

Just as Nie Zheng walked to the door, Yi Zixuan suddenly said: "Hongyu is in the Bamboo Forest Courtyard, and the rest is up to you." ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you Uncle Yi for your advice." ”

After speaking, Nie Zheng left Yi Zixuan's small courtyard, and under the guidance of the maid outside the door, he went straight to Shen Hongyu's residence.

Looking at the back of Nie Zheng's departure, Yi Zixuan shook his head and said in his heart: "These two enemies, after so many years of stalemate, are finally about to begin to ease. ”

Not long after Nie Zheng left Yi Zixuan's residence, a leader of the Shen family, who was in charge of exploring the wind, hurriedly came to Yi Zixuan.

When Yi Zixuan saw this person, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Luo Feng, why did you come back so early?" ”

Luo Feng arched his hand, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Sir, just now the black rat put back the letter, saying that he saw a group of people with suspicious deeds appearing in the area of Cangsong Ridge. ”

Hearing this, Yi Zixuan's heart moved, and he continued to ask: "Oh, Cangsong Ridge is not far from Heifeng Ridge, did the black rat see clearly, whether that group of people left the mountain or entered the mountain?" ”

"Out of the mountain, after they left Cangsong Ridge, they went in the direction of Huangzhou City."

"Have you seen who the other person is?"

Luo Feng lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "My subordinates have never seen it, and they don't dare to judge, but according to the carrier pigeons from the black rats, among the group of people with suspicious behaviors, the leader seems to be very similar to Qiu Qilang, the head of the Long Knife Gate." ”

"Longknife Gate?"

Hearing this, Yi Zixuan's face sank, and he hurriedly ordered: "You quickly send someone to the Black Wind Ridge to see if everything is as usual over there." ”

"Yes, sir!"

After Luo Feng got the order, he immediately retreated with his fists clenched.

When he walked to the door, suddenly, Yi Zixuan called him.

"Wait, Luo Feng! It's better for you to go to the Black Wind Ridge in person, remember, hurry up, get there as quickly as possible, and if there is anything unusual, remember to fly the pigeon and come back. ”

"Yes, sir! ……”
