On Xingshan, Wu Jian sent Yang Zheng and Hu Jia out of the Guibei Building, and carefully advised them for a long time before letting the two leave.

Standing alone on the side of the mountain, Wu Yan looked at the mountains in the distance and was silent. In the sky, the wind gathered the dark clouds, like a myriad of black wild horses, tumbling and spreading from all directions, piling up in stacks, getting denser and denser, and rushing and surging in the valley in a furious manner.

After returning from Cold Land City, Wu Gen felt a little powerless, as if he had entered a big net, and he was gradually being restrained.

Ming Zheng is still right in some words, what are you doing in Kuntianzhou, isn't it possible to hold a team in your hands and prepare for a foothold in Beizhou in the future.

But it is really difficult to achieve this goal with Ji Ye alone. There are only more than 20,000 people in the Northern Army, and it is remarkable that they can account for half of the dreadnought army.

Which family will let a team defending the base camp of their own clan be in the hands of a foreigner. This is like the Zhao family invited people from the Divine Sect to lead troops outside Fuli City, and no one will be sure.

At the beginning, Ji Yan was able to successfully get a post of 2,000, and I am afraid that she also had the intention of watching the dreadnought army. 10,000 horses is already the maximum number that the Xingshan dreadnought army can reach.

It's not a question of whether Ji Ye believes in himself or not, but that the Ji family will not hand over their own safety to the dreadnought.

It can be expected that if the turmoil over the restructuring of the Iron Hand Province ends, it is a question of whether the Dreadnought Army can exist and how much it can stay.

Therefore, either the dreadnought army is so strong that others can't eat it and break away from the Ji family's control, or Ji Ye becomes the head of the family, otherwise, Wu Yan can foresee his fate.

This time, Ming Zheng personally came forward and asked the Lu family and the Ba family to recruit him, which was already an obvious signal. The next step is to expand the dreadnought, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

Therefore, Wu Jian told Yang Zheng and Hu Jia about his worries and the situation of meeting with Ming Zheng and others, these two people are good at playing personal tricks, and they can worry about leaving a lot of things to them.

In the dead of night, Wu Yan was also thinking, wanting to pick a son and quit, this kind of scheming all day long is really tiring.

Isn't it good to be a ranger as mentioned in the book, one person is full, and the whole family is not hungry. It's just that he has come to this extent, how can he have room for regret.

As people get older, when they reach a certain level, they have to do something against their will, not for themselves, but for the people behind them.

A few days later, Lu Lie and Ba Hong sent four hundred human clans to Wu Gen according to the previous agreement, all of them were strong young men, and Wu Gen handed over all the resettlement matters of these people to Yang Zheng.

Today's Wu Gen is even more like a hands-off shopkeeper, and the big and small things of the dreadnought army have been handed over to Shui Congyue and them, while he is obsessed with cultivation, and it is not a major matter for the sky to fall, so he is not allowed to disturb him.

It's just that sometimes, even if the sky hasn't fallen, something still finds him, after all, he is still a thousand households of the dreadnought.

On this day, Wu Yan was resting in the courtyard, and Zhuo Ke knocked lightly on the door and walked in.

"Village master, there are a lot of people coming down the mountain, and the leader has to see you."

"If you don't see me, you say I'm dead." Wu Yan waved his hand, shirtless, concentrating on the wooden pier in front of him.

Zhuo Ke was silent for a moment, but still spoke: "He said that his name is Ji Bi, and he is the city lord of Wuling City. ”

"Ji Bi?" Wu Yan was stunned, Ji Ye's uncle, his own family is stationed in Xingshan, largely because of this,

"Get me clean clothes, and we'll meet you down the mountain." After changing his clothes, Wu Jian hurried to the pillar village.

At the foot of the mountain in the distance, more than 50 riders were parked. The leader was a thin old man with a jade belt around his waist, looking at the dreadnought army with interest.

Wu Yan bowed his hand in front of the old man,

"This elder, I don't know if it's the city lord of Wuling City." The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Wu Qian,

"It is the lord of this city, I heard that my brother has formed a new northern army, and there is a group of men and horses who are the leaders of the human race, and you are the Wu Gen of the thousand households."

"Exactly." Wu Gen looked up at the old man,

"I don't know what the city lord is doing here."

"Can't you come up and take a look if it's okay, after all, you are still a thousand households of my Ji family." The old man looked arrogant, and pointed at Wu Yan with a horsewhip,

"A human race, when can you point fingers in front of me. Lead the way ahead, and I'm going to take a look at what this dreadnought is capable of for my brother. At this time, Baoxiang and the others also came to the bottom of the mountain when they heard the news, and they were all a little angry when they saw Ji Bi behaving like this.

Wu Gen smiled slightly, but he was standing in the middle of the mountain road,

"City Lord Ji, according to the rules of the Northern Army, without the military order of the second young master, no one is allowed to enter the camp without authorization, and please forgive me City Lord Ji." Ji Bi sneered, leaned down and stared at Wu Gan, and said word by word: "Wu Qianhu, you have to remember that the Ji family has the capital to make you a thousand households here." If you don't have the blessing of the Ji family, you are a mere human race, whether you can survive today is a matter of two words. I, Ji Bi, the lord's brother, want to see my own northern army, do you have any opinions. As he spoke, he straightened up, stroked his long beard with a sneer, and urged the horse to go up the mountain, and the entourage behind him also urged the horse to follow.

......Seeing this, Cheng Jie in the team took a step forward with an axe, staring at Ji Biao viciously, but was stopped by Xue Xin.

"Alas, I don't know where the goods jumped out, the face is bigger than the ass. You say that you are a toad with long hair on your mouth, and you are a bird or a beast. A yin and yang weird voice came out, and everyone turned their heads to see that it was Niu Chao, who was not too big to see the excitement.

Holding a toad in his hand, he is grabbing a pile of horsehair and poking it in someone's mouth. For the first time, everyone thought this guy was a little pleasing to the eye.

"Huh? Where did the thief come from, how dare he speak obscenities. Ji Bi turned his head violently, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Niu Chao coldly.

"What kind of city lord is this, I'm scolding this toad, don't rush to pick up the stubble." Niu Chao raised his head innocently, and his fair face was full of grievances.

"Wu Gan, how do you bring your subordinates?" Seeing Wu Yan smiling and standing aside to watch the play, Ji Bi said angrily, turned around and ordered his guard: "Come on, arrest this kid, slap his mouth for thirty, I want to see how hard his mouth is." "There is a guard leader with his subordinates who stepped forward to take Niu Chao.

"Huh? There were people who arrested the soldiers of the Northern Army without military orders. Wu Gan's face pulled down, staring at Ji Wei coldly,

"It's hard to rebel." With a bang, Baoxiang and the others surrounded the leader of the guards, and soon rushed down from the mountain, surrounded the rest of the guards, staring at each other menacingly.

Ji Bi's guards mostly act as honor guards on weekdays, and they have never participated in any battles, looking at these murderous guys, they are so frightened that they don't dare to move.

"Wu Gan, the words of the city lord are not working." Ji Bi's face was very ugly, and he could see that these people must have fought a lot of battles, and the aggressive murderous spirit could not be faked.

"City Lord Ji's words naturally work in Wuling City, but this is the Northern Army, and it is specially approved by the lord, is it possible that the City Lord will also issue military orders to the Northern Army." Wu Qian raised his head and cross-examined.

Ji Bi hesitated, Wu Jian seized the loophole in his words, if he was a city lord, if he wanted to command the northern army, wouldn't it be a great taboo.

After thinking about it, Ji Bi's expression softened a little, and he pointed at Niu Chaodao,

"I don't want to order the Northern Army, it's just that this kid has offended me, so I can't let it go, could it be that Wu Qianhu wants to shield this person."

"No, the city lord of Ji is thinking about it." Wu Gen changed his smiling face,

"It's just that the Northern Army has the rules of the Northern Army, this kid made a mistake, and he should be dealt with according to the rules of the Northern Army, and it is not the turn of others to do it."

"You ......" Ji Bi pointed at Wu Gan, so angry that he couldn't speak,

"Okay, okay, then follow the rules of your Northern Army, he insults the city lord, what should you do." Wu Yan smiled slightly, and said to Niu Chao: "Go, learn to bark twice, and let the city lord relieve his anger." Niu Chao cracked his mouth and laughed, and screamed seven or eight times in a row.

"This is the rule of your Northern Army, and the Northern Army has such rules." Ji Bi was so angry that his beard trembled, and he pointed at Wu Yan angrily.

"That's right, our Northern Army is like this, if you insult others, you can go back in humiliation, and if you don't want to cut it, won't it make the Ji family bear a harsh name." Wu Yan spread his hands, looking like he took it for granted.

"Hmph." Seeing Wu Yan playing a scoundrel, Ji Bi flicked his sleeves angrily,

"Wu Gan, I don't care about this with you, I want to join the army today, you have to stop me." Wu Yan pursed his lips and commanded at Ha Ying: "Since the city lord Ji has to see it, then be a little accommodating, and in the future, the lord will investigate it, and I will bear it." "I looked at the guards who were surrounded by them,

"These people are not surnamed Ji, just wait here, I really think that my dreadnought army is here in Fang City, and any cat or dog can wander around casually." As he spoke, he turned his head and arched his hand at Ji Bi,

"My lord, I don't mean you, don't think about it. Come, please go up the mountain. Along the way, Ji Bi kept looking around, looking at the heavily guarded camp, the scattered fortifications, and the soldiers who were wearing protective gear to practice, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

Take a peek and see the whole leopard, this dreadnought army is really as fierce as the legend, it is stuck in Xingshan, and the north of Hanlu City is defense-free.

"What's that mountaintop?" Ji Bi pointed in the direction of Dengming Village, where a danghu bird was slowly falling.

"Oh, there's a granary up there." Wu Gen said casually.

"Whose granary is built on the top of the mountain, there are still people practicing on it." Ji Bi snorted coldly, pinched his mount, and accelerated towards the mountain.

Wu Gen quietly took a few steps back, pulled Niu Chao over and commanded in a low voice: "Go and find Niu Ye, let the two mastiffs out, this old guy seems to want to go to Dengming Village." It's all our treasures, and we can't let him look at it. ”

"Do you want to bite this old bastard?" Niu Chao bared his big white teeth and looked excited.

"Get out, just scare him so much that he falls under the horse, go quickly, don't make a fuss, otherwise your military pay will be stopped." Wu Gen threatened in a low voice, I was really afraid that this bastard would do something reckless.

"Okay." Niu Chao agreed, slipped out of the team, and ran towards the back mountain.

"Wu Gan, I heard that you are invincible as a dreadnought army and have destroyed a lot of thieves, but there is such a thing." Walking on the road, Ji Bi suddenly asked aloud.

"It's just a rumor, let's just bully those bandits who don't have a backstage, and none of them dare to move if they have a backstage." Wu Yan walked side by side with him, and said perfunctorily without saying a word.

"Hmph, you have all suppressed the bandits to my Wuling City, thanks to you, the surroundings of Wuling City are a lot quieter now." Ji Bi sneered, pointed at Wu Gan,

"It's just that I heard that you sent someone to ask some small families for some security fees?"

"Thank you for the praise of the city lord, it is the duty of the dreadnought army to protect the territory and the people, and eliminate violence and peace. But people always have to eat, and those families can't get any benefits without some blood. Wu Yan said with an innocent face.

Ji Bi also saw that this person was very different from the people in the orthodox officialdom, and he didn't eat his own set at all. He didn't ask any more, and after looking around in the pillar village, he was ready to go to Dengming Village.

Wu Yan glanced at the few people behind him and distanced himself from Ji Bi. Although after many days of running-in, the dreadnought war horse is no longer very afraid of the giant mastiff, but it is still easy to startle the horse when it suddenly pounces.

Ji Bi took in the small movements of Wu Yan and the others, and sneered in his heart, not letting himself go up the mountain, but going up to see what you could do, and then galloping to the top of the mountain.

As soon as he turned a fork in the road, the horse under him suddenly screamed, and the person stood up and threw the unprepared Ji Bi firmly to the ground.

In the forest ahead, two giant black mastiffs the size of war horses appeared, baring their long fangs and roaring menacingly from their throats.

Ji Bi's horse was so frightened that he turned around and ran, leaving his master behind. Looking at the giant mastiff with fishy saliva in his mouth and cracked his teeth, Ji Bi screamed in fright,

"Wu Gan, save me."
