After the swamp battle, the people of the Ji family finally respected the dreadnought.

In the face of such a well-disciplined, brave and good fighting team, and the impact of the oxen on the opposite side was as immobile as a mountain, they could not help but put down the shelves of the lord's soldiers, and were willing to look at these armor with a level gaze, the soldiers were not very good, and there were many human soldiers.

Being able to fight is the foundation of a military army, and it is the foundation of winning the respect of a group of killers.

Ji Nan is no longer as complacent as before, especially Cheng Jie's ill-intentioned gaze, which glances at his body from time to time, and his heart is a little hairy.

He was sure in his heart that as long as Wu Gen gave the order, that rude man named Cheng Jie would definitely not mind letting the axe blade walk around his neck.

The team arrived at a small city called Shengcheng, which belonged to a certain family of thousand households, and soon someone in the city arranged for a group of people to go to the pavilion to rest.

Walking on the street, suddenly an old man glanced at the banner of the Ji family, rushed out of the wine shop on the side of the road, raised his arms and shouted: "The Ji family has no way, change course, become the new master, and return Yu Qingning."

Wu Yan couldn't help but be stunned, looked at the old man with white hair and an excited expression, and looked around, in the shops on both sides, people watched coldly, and no one came out to stop them.

Ji Nan's face was a little ugly, so he had to order his subordinates to drag this crazy old man out of nowhere. Wu Yan shook his head noncommittally and continued to walk towards the pavilion.

When passing by a man who was carrying a burden and selling cakes, I only heard him muttering in a low voice: "What's wrong with withdrawing the families, there is still a layer of exploitation, and people like me also have a chance to turn over."

The voice was very small, and when he saw Wu Gan's gaze, the man felt speechless, and quickly lowered his head and picked up the burden and left. It's just that when he saw that there was no long tail behind Wu Gan, he immediately raised his head and chested again, and his disdain was almost impossible to hide.

Wu Gen smiled secretly in his heart, this bearer should already be the lowest level of the shepherds, but after seeing Wu Gan's human race, he quickly found his confidence. If there is no big banner of the Ji family, I am afraid that I will not dare to come up and pull Wu Yan off the horse, spit a few mouthfuls, and step on a few feet.

The team only stayed in Shengcheng for one night, and then hurried on the road again. Later, there were more and more people on the road, and the road was getting easier and easier to walk, Wu Gen simply urged the horse to gallop, and sometimes did not enter the city, saving himself from the guidance of the shepherds along the way.

Finally, half a month later, Han Lucheng appeared in front of Wu Gan.

It is a majestic fortified city built on the plains, with a ten-zhang high wall winding through the vast field, and a large river bypassing the north and east of the city, which not only assumes the responsibility of a moat, but also facilitates the entry of goods into the city by water.

In the distance, there is a green hill, undulating between heaven and earth, like a city wall guarding this populous city from afar.

After entering the city, Ji Nan led a group of people and walked along the straight wide street to the inner city.

Along the road, all kinds of shops are lined up, flags are flying, and the magnificent buildings are like floating clouds, and people come in and out from time to time.

Everywhere I passed, there were crowds of people and pedestrians. Sons in different styles of fancy costumes, with graceful manners. The fat and thin women gathered together in groups of three or five. Looking from afar, if it weren't for being in Kuntianzhou, Wu Gen would really think that he had returned to a certain capital city in Beizhou.

When approaching the inner city, Ji Nan arranged for his subordinates to bring the rest of the Dreadnought Army into a military camp to rest, and walked towards the inner city alone with Wu Gan.

The inner city is mostly inhabited by powerful people, and it is not exclusive to the Ji family, but it occupies the largest territory.

Walking through the courtyards with carved beams and paintings, Ji Nan stopped in a spacious Zhumen compound. There are five doors in the mansion, and there are stone leopards, lampposts, horse-tied stakes, and horse-mounted stones in front of the door.

At the door, Ji Ye is waiting with a group of people, the door in the middle is wide open, and you can vaguely see the cornices and corners of the courtyard, and the staggered pavilions.

"Wu Gan, you're here." Ignoring the gazes of the people around him, Himeya walked forward with a laugh and stretched out his hands in a hug.

Wu Yan jumped off the horse, grabbed the other party's wrist fiercely, and looked up and down, "Not bad, it's a lot more rounded, it seems that it's still Kuntianzhou's cultivator."

Himeya struggled twice,

found that it was difficult to get out of Wu Gan's iron claws, but he didn't expect that Wu Gan's cultivation would improve again.

The two confronted each other for a moment, and suddenly unloaded their forces at the same time, hugged each other, and slammed each other's backs with their fists.

"Let's go, let's go." Ji Ye took Wu Gan's hand and strode in from the middle door.

After a series of dissatisfied, jealous, suspicious, and indignant eyes, Wu Yan calmly followed Ji Ye towards the mansion.

"You're so open to me, be careful that someone says bad things about you behind your back." Walking on the neatly arranged road of bluestones, Wu Gen sneered in a low voice. Open the middle door, what a noble person you have to be here, in order to have this treatment.

Ji Ye's narrow eyes narrowed, and his expression was a little colder, "Don't worry, Kuntian is not as good as Beizhou, there are not so many rules. Even if someone is dissatisfied, I can do whatever I want in my mansion, and I can do whatever I want with him."

"Okay, sure enough, it's still that Himeya." Wu Gan gave a thumbs up, and the two walked all the way through the courtyard, passing the main hall without stopping, and went directly to the daily living place in the back.

There is a huge garden, pavilions, ponds and water pavilions, scattered among the green pines and cypresses. All the way twists and turns, there are strange stones in Qingtang from time to time, and vines and green bamboos are dotted in the meantime.

Wu Gen also saw it, no wonder when he was in the Great Relic Continent, Ji Ye was so familiar with the Outer Continent, and judging from the construction of his mansion, he was not inferior to the human race at all.

Arrived at a single building facing the water, Ji Ye took Wu Yan to the second floor, where there is a terrace, shaped like a water pavilion, you can enjoy the scenery in the garden.

In the terrace, a table of wine and food has already been set up. There are not many dishes, but they are quite elegantly cooked. When the breeze blows, it is also very interesting.

"Come, goodbye reunion, today you and I might as well get drunk and rest, and it can be regarded as catching the wind and washing the dust." Ji Ye invited Wu Gen to take a seat, and with a wave of his hand, except for the four maids, everyone else retreated.

The two drank three glasses in a row, Ji Ye put down the wine glass, and slowly spoke, "On that day, the school desk sent a message, saying that you came to Kuntianzhou, and I still didn't believe it for a while. Later, Yu Hao wrote me a private letter detailing what you did in Kuntianzhou. After reading it, I was convinced that it was you, and only you with such a cunning temperament could have done such a miraculous thing."

"You're the monkey." Wu Yan grabbed a pair of verdant bamboo chopsticks in his hand, stuffed his mouth with delicacies, and said indistinctly, "I don't have a long tail."

Ji Ye didn't care about Wu Gan's rudeness, and looked at the other party with a smile, "What did you do in Kuntianzhou, you actually attracted the attention of the Heavenly Palace."

In the face of Ji Ye, Wu Yan had nothing to hide, so he told him how he got to Kuntianzhou, how he tossed a family business in Bailing Province, and why he came here.

Listening to Wu Gan's experience, Ji Ye couldn't help but be amazed. Sure enough, such a person can make such a big wave wherever he goes.

After three rounds of drinking, Wu Qianfang spoke: "Ji Ye, what's going on with this Iron Hand Province, why do people everywhere say that your Ji family is not good." This question has been pressed in his heart for a long time, and with the strength of wine, Wu Jian asked it directly.

"Ugh." Ji Ye smiled bitterly, and drank all the wine in front of him in one gulp, "It's not a restructuring, over the years, my Ji family has always wanted to refer to the practices of Beizhou, gather the power of various families, and turn all families into counties. It's just that in this way, the interests of many people have been moved, so now there is a lot of uproar.

In fact, the most opposed ones are the big families, who control the actual rights of various places, and naturally do not want their own interests to be damaged. This is not a joint letter from a family of several roads, hoping that my father will take back his life.

It's just that my father has been ill in the past two years, tired and sick in bed, and many things are presided over by my eldest brother Ji Chen, so they are entangled with my eldest brother. But here, I am quieter because I rarely participate in political affairs on weekdays."

So that's what happened, Wu Yan sighed in his heart. Since ancient times, the matter of reforming the old and renewing the old is the most difficult thing, the involvement is too wide and too big, it is normal to bleed and die, and if it is not done well, it will be the end of the death of the ruler and the annihilation of the clan.

I don't know if the Ji family was prepared in advance, if they can't deal with it properly, Wu Jian can think that this iron-handed province will definitely be in flames.

Groaning slightly, Wu Yan glanced around before he spoke, "Ji Ye,

Let's talk."

Ji Ye knew herself, and dismissed the maid with a wave of her hand, leaving only the two of them upstairs.

"The Ji family has played so big, but they have a backhand." Wu Yan leaned back in the chair, his legs spread, and his posture was quite indecent, "Don't tell me that you are not prepared, if this is the case, after eating this meal, I will knock you out and take you away, saving the Ji family from being killed." ap.

Ji Ye glanced at him, and his eyes were also a little tired, "For this matter, my father expanded the number of clan soldiers and placed them in various joints of the province, called the guards, to carry out bullet suppression. He also set up a southern army around Hanlu City, and because my father had been unable to recover from his illness over the years, the southern army was controlled by his eldest brother."

Speaking of this, Ji Ye paused, and seemed to hesitate, "In addition, after returning from the Great Relic Continent, my father intends to set up another Northern Army, and I will be responsible for preparing for it, but because the time is still short, the army has not yet been formed."

Wu Gen was silent after hearing this, and after a while, he got up and walked to the railing, and after one hand, he overlooked the scenery in the garden.

The weather was a little dreary, and large clouds drifted in from afar, gradually covering the sky, making the purple and red in the garden lose their color.

Ji Ye walked to Wu Yan's side, his face was a little strange, "What's wrong, but what's wrong."

Wu Yan sighed and turned to look at his old friend, "It's a lot more inappropriate, you can understand your father's idea of letting you set up the Northern Army."

Ji Ye's face was a little solemn, and he also looked into the distance, "I probably know a thing or two, I think I want to use the northern army to contain the southern army, and I don't want my eldest brother to dominate."

My father has been sick in bed for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will have some strange thoughts. But in my opinion, it doesn't have to be. The eldest brother is a generous person, proficient in political affairs and rarely asks about military affairs, and he doesn't want to get involved in the Southern Army. And he repeatedly suggested to his father that I should be in charge of the Southern Army, and I had no idea of supporting the army and respecting myself.

Maybe according to your Beizhou people, the two brothers will inevitably have the disadvantages of fighting for power. But as you know, I like to travel around the world, and I really don't want to be bound by a province, so I have many rejections of my eldest brother's suggestions."

Wu Yan sneered, and turned his head to look at Ji Ye, "It's a shame that you still admire the human culture, and you don't want to think about it, your father asked you to form the Northern Army just to let the two sons fight each other. It's good that you two have a brother and brother who are in harmony, which reassures your father.

I don't know what your eldest brother is, you really don't have the heart to rush power, so it's not that this northern army can't form an army, but you don't want to form an army. But listening to my brother's words, just to protect yourself, or to reassure your father, you have to hurry up and form a northern army. Otherwise, you can come with me."

Himeya sighed and stared blankly at the somewhat gloomy sky. Suddenly, there was a boom, and dense raindrops fell from the sky. Reaching out to pick up a few bits of rain, he looked at the thunder and lightning in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh, "People are here, and they really can't help themselves. Well, you're here, so help me do this."

"You really rest assured of me, don't be afraid that I will take the opportunity to grow stronger and take away the power of your Ji family." Although Wu Yan had plans to use Ji Ye to grow, he didn't expect things to be such a trend, and Ji Ye actually wanted to entrust himself to form an army.

"Okay, I know you, I look like a scoundrel, but I really recognize my brother, I just give you the Iron Hand Province, I'm afraid you don't want it." Ji Ye looked at Wu Yan with a scoundrel face.

"Okay, then you just wait for me to take power." Wu Geng tilted his head to look at the other party.

"Waiting for you to come."

Half an hour later, a burst of laughter erupted from the water pavilion, which overpowered the roar of thunder.
