Chapter 462: What is the garrison to Xingshan
By the Xiao River, Lu Lie had already turned into a human body, and someone had sent him back for help. As for Bahong, he was also very miserable, and he didn't know what means Li Qi used, his body was covered with wounds like a fish's mouth, and he was also unconscious.
The threshing grass was inevitably damaged, and everyone was used to it, and the tents were set up again, and the banquet went on as usual. It's just that being beaten like this by Gu Cao is really rare, and the eyes that look at Wu Yan and Li Qi are a little strange.
According to the habits of the shepherds, these two people are both at the lowest level, and now they have beaten the children of the two ten thousand families unconscious, but they are also an outlier.
The people who participated in the banquet grew up in a big family, and they had never seen any kind of people, all of them were human spirits, and after this incident, they looked at the two of them a lot kinder.
Wu Yan had already changed into new clothes, and the wound on his chest had been medicated, and he was eating and drinking with a bald head at this time, completely ignoring everyone's playful eyes.
Gu Yangsi walked over with a wine glass and raised his hand to raise his glass. In the face of this person, Wu Yan was not too rude, so he had to get up and drink together.
"You shouldn't beat Lu Lie so hard, his family occupies the largest territory among the ten thousand families, if you walk in the Iron Hand Province in the future, you will inevitably bump into the Lu family, and there will be some trouble."
Gu Siyang said in a low voice, his eyes glanced at the woman not far away, "Besides, you also offended Murong Yuqiang, you also know that it is very troublesome to offend a woman, very troublesome. What's more, the Murong family also has an in-law relationship with the lord, although you are close to the second young master, after all, you are an outsider, how can you compare to the wind of other people's pillows."
Wu Yan glanced at the other party meaningfully, "Oh, by the way, you are also from the Wanhu family, so it seems that you don't deal with them. It's only the second time we've met, so why do you mention it to me?"
Gu Yang glanced at Wu Gan, "Do you think I'm helping you, I'm thinking of helping the second young master, you are his person, so I naturally have to say a few more words."
Speaking of this, Gu Yangsi sighed, "Although each of us came to Cold Land City on the orders of our families, we wanted to persuade the lord to take back our orders. But I'm different from them, and it's best if I can achieve my own demands peacefully, after all...... After all, tearing your face will kill a lot of people."
Wu Yan glanced at Gu Yangsi, who was a little gloomy, and sighed softly, "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, there are some things that can be avoided without trying to avoid them. After all, there is a huge disparity between the positions of the two sides, and there is almost no possibility of peace."
Gu Yang muttered, "Do your best, someone always needs to give in. Forget it, if you don't mention this, none of us are the ones who can call the shots. That's good, I'll try to persuade Lu Lie, Murong Yuqiang and the others to see if I can laugh at the enmity."
Wu Yan spread his hands and looked indifferent, "Whatever, it's best if they are willing to reconcile, if they don't want to, they will fight again."
Gu Siyang patted Wu Gen's shoulder lightly, and said helplessly, "I can also see that you are a very proud person in your bones, and I can't say that I think the children of our family are like chickens and dogs." With that, he turned around and returned to his seat.
Without Lu Lie and Ba Hong, the atmosphere of the banquet quickly became warm, and people from several families took turns to come forward to toast Ji Ye, and even Murong Yuqiang walked through the motions with a straight face.
Ji Ye also lost no time in talking to a few people, asking about the current situation of the other party's family, and laughter broke out from time to time during the banquet, sweeping away the unhappiness of threshing.
Finally, the banquet ended in peace, and everyone prepared to return to Cold Land City. Due to some injuries, Ji Ye did not let him ride a horse, but arranged a carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, Wu Yan was about to squint for a while, when suddenly the curtain was lifted, and Murong Yuqiang stood beside the car. His face was still as cold as ice, and he stretched out his hand, "Where's my hairpin?"
"Hairpin?" Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and touched it in his arms, only to find that because Lu Lie burned his clothes, the hairpin had long since fallen to nowhere it fell. "Miss Murong, your hairpin is really a little ugly, it's better like this, I'll give you another one next time."
"You...... Hmph." Murong Yuqiang flicked the curtains, turned around and left.
Wu Yan lifted the curtain and looked at his back, and muttered softly, "Stingy, I'll send you a few dozen next time, no."
Is it just a matter of a few taels of silver?"
Murong Yuqiang paused slightly, her chest rose and fell sharply, and she didn't look back towards her jujube red horse.
"Hey, if you don't have the ability to do it, you have a lot of temper, and you are destined to not be able to marry for the rest of your life, which man's ancestral grave will marry you with black smoke." Wu Yan lowered the curtain and cursed Murong Yuqiang viciously.
When he returned to Hanlu City, after Wu Yan recovered from his injuries, he ignored Ji Ye's retention and took Li Qi back to his own camp in Xingshan.
As soon as he returned, Wu Gan began to expand the army. On the one hand, Zhang Wuyang and others were sent to Liangqi Village on Yanxing Road to recruit people who were willing to join the Dreadnought Army. Thanks to Hua Yanlin's acquiescence, this recruitment was quite easy, and nearly 800 people came before and after.
On the other hand, Wu Gen began to send people to the surrounding area to exterminate some small bandits, and these people could not survive before they plundered. Since the Dreadnought Army has the endorsement of the Ji family, there are still some people who are willing to ask for a background, so they naturally joined the Dreadnought.
Sometimes, the dreadnoughts would accidentally run to a small family, under the pretext that they were colluding with the rebels, waiting for an opportunity to collect some hush money for military funds. Because the military expenses given by the Ji family are limited after all, if Wu Jian wants to expand the scale, he has to save some money in advance.
On the other hand, the other northern army on Xingshan Mountain, not to mention how comfortable it is. They are subordinate to Ji Yan, in addition to the normal military expenses, there are also subsidies from Ji Yan's own small treasury, whether it is food, weapons, or horses, they are much better than the dreadnought.
At the behest of Wu Gan, the Dreadnought began to harass this northern army, intentionally or unintentionally, and the two armies did not know how many times there was friction.
After inexplicably experiencing half a month of ant and insect harassment, pulling the stomach for ten days, and often seeing the female ghost swaying in the middle of the night, the thousands of households of the Northern Army couldn't stand it, and took the initiative to send a part of the military funds to Wu Gan, and at the same time pulled their camp far away, fifty miles away from Wu Gan's camp, and the Chinese side of the army was born.
During this period, Wu Gen was also invited by Ji Ye or Gu Yangsi to go to the cold land city for banquets several times, and even once met the injured Lu Lie and Ba Hong at the same banquet. However, there was no conflict between the two sides, and they sat at a distance from each other, ignoring each other.
On this day, Wu Gen was sitting in the camp on the top of the mountain, watching the drills of the dreadnought army under the mountain. The dreadnought army has expanded to 1,800 people at this time, which is the most people Wu Gan has ever led in his life, and he is naturally a little complacent in his heart.
Wu Gan's eyesight was excellent, and he suddenly saw a few horsemen galloping down the mountain, and he was still wondering if Ji Ye had asked him to go to the city to drink again.
While muttering, Wu Gan's expression froze, where did Ji Ye come from, it was Ji Yan, who was ambitious in his family and wanted to be a female leader.
There's definitely nothing good about this crazy girl here. Hurriedly ordered to go down, said that he was sick, turned around and rushed to the Wangbei Building, which was specially repaired for himself, ran to the second floor and lay down on the bed, covered with a quilt and pretended to sleep.
After a while, there was the sound of clanging footsteps on the wooden staircase, as well as Zhuo Ke's anxious voice, "Third Young Master, my village master is really sick, and he has been bedridden for many days." Hearing this, Wu Jian silently put a turban on his head.
The heavy footsteps still didn't stop, and Zhuo Ke shouted again: "The owner of the village has hard sores on his body, and he is not wearing clothes, so I am afraid it is not convenient for the third young master to go up." Wu Yan sighed and had to take off his shirt silently.
"The sores of the village owner are born on the lower body, which is really inconvenient." Drok's voice was already crying.
Wu Yan was stunned and grabbed the cloth pants on his legs.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Ji Yanfeng rushed in, lifted the curtain in front of the bed, and stared viciously at Wu Gan, who was hiding under the quilt and trying to take off his pants.
"The owner of the village? Wu Gan, you really think this is a bandit's den. Get up, I want to see what kind of illness you, the lord of the village, have, and why you can't see anyone." Ji Yan said angrily, reaching out to pull Wu Yan's quilt.
"I can see people." Wu Yan tugged at his quilt tightly and blinked.
"Then why didn't you hide from me?" Ji Yan tugged the quilt, and suddenly understood something, "You're not human."
Thorn, how can this quilt withstand the tearing of the two of them, and for a while, the reed flowers and goose feathers flew wildly.
Zhuo Ke covered his eyes, and couldn't bear to look at the white flowers on the bed.
"Rogues, bad embryos." Looking at Wu Gan, who was naked, Ji Yan screamed and ran outside the house, "Wu Gan, get on your clothes and get out."
After a stick of incense, Wu Yan and Ji Yan sat in the living room on the first floor, looking at each other angrily.
"Wu Gan, let me ask you, why do you want to use despicable means against my men, rob them of their baggage, and drive them so far, what are you doing here?" Ji Yan crossed her hands in front of her abdomen and squinted at Wu Yan on the side.
"Third Young Master, you must not put this basin on my head, we are very close to the young master's subordinates. It's normal to have occasional quarrels on weekdays, but there are still fights in the army, and if they are all as honest as sheep, then what kind of battle will they fight." Wu Yan picked up the teacup angrily, and just took a sip of tea and spit it out, "Zhuo Ke, you get in, you want to burn your village master."
There was silence outside the door, and Zock sat on the stone steps in the courtyard, as if an old eagle was calling.
"The owner of the village? Wu Gan, I think you are a bandit and don't change. You are now a thousand households of the Northern Army, not the bandit leader of Bailing Province." Ji Yan seized Wu Gan's loophole again and used the topic to play.
Putting the teacup on the table, Wu Yan said dissatisfiedly: "Ji Yan, the two camps on my mountain and down the mountain are both famous, one is called Dengming Village and the other is called Zhuzhu Village, why can't I be called the owner of the village. If you are unreasonable, I will find your brother and say that you interfere in the affairs of other people's military without authorization."
Ji Yan pursed her mouth, and suddenly her momentum leaked, "Wu Gan, it's not that I have nothing to do, it's really a bit hidden, do you know why we want to form an army in Xingshan."
Wu Yan blinked, "Could it be that it involves your Ji family's family affairs, otherwise Ji Ye would have told me a lot."
Ji Yan turned her head to look at Wu Yan and sighed softly, "Yes, you are smart. Less than 500 miles north of Xingshan is Wuling City, and the lord of this city is my uncle Ji Bi. This uncle of mine was spoiled by my grandfather since he was a child, but he just couldn't practice, so my father inherited the position of head of the family.
Later, my father felt guilty, so he gave Wuling City to him, and let him be an idle city lord, and the taxes around Wuling City were all paid by him, but he was not allowed to raise soldiers. My uncle is also smart, buying houses and land everywhere, and his life is quite nourishing. In the past two years, my father has been sick, and he is also old, so he has run more to Hanlu City, thinking about living in Hanlu City for a long time.
But as soon as they met, they would quarrel endlessly, and my father would be annoyed by him, and would chase him away every time he came for a few days. We did not set up troops to prevent him from rebelling, but we were not afraid that someone would use his name to cause trouble, so we took precautions."
Wu Yan shook his head, "I don't care about your family's affairs, I'm going to leave in two years." It's that my 3,000 posts are still not full, Ji Yan, if you don't give me your subordinates, it will save me from going around to quell the rebellion."
"You want to be beautiful." When Ji Yan heard this, she jumped up as if she had been trampled on.
The two were arguing, and suddenly Ha Ying hurriedly rushed in, with an excited look on his face, "Village master, Chu Jun is coming, Yang Houzheng is back."
