Chapter 493: Temptation

From the wing mountain, everywhere is busy. The clatter of felling trees, the sizzle of saws tearing wood, and the creaking of mortise and tenon joints echoed throughout the camp.

Wu Yan carried a broken knife, rolled up his sleeves, and held a charcoal pen in his ear, like an authentic carpenter.

The knife technique that he had honed over the years came in handy at this time, making Wu Gen the one who cut down the most trees from Yishan.

So much wood was used to build a chariot. Since the war horse couldn't fight the wolf, Wu Gen sent Niu Chao back to Xingshan, and quietly borrowed some giant mastiffs from Niu Ye, and these giant mastiffs pulled the chariot.

These chariots are equipped with archers and halberds, which can be used to kill enemies with arrows and crossbows from afar, and can be blocked with halberds at close range.

Among them, most of the archers were produced by the Le Xi tribe, and the halberd soldiers were sent by Tudan, which was also the first time that Wu Gan completely broke up the two songs and mixed them.

While he was busy, Li Qi quietly came over and stood silently beside Wu Qian.

"Anyway, can you make a little noise when you walk next time, is it scary?" Wu Yan couldn't help but complain that since he put Li Qi in charge of the assassination, this guy has become a little evil, and he has become more and more gloomy and gloomy. Now he has twenty of his men, and he has been a dragon all day long.

"Lu Fengxi, the steward of the Lu family, has arrived in Liu'an City." Li Qi's face was calm, not affected by Wu Gan's attitude in the slightest, "In addition, Ye Ziming's path has also been inquired clearly, but it is a little ......"

"What's wrong, there's something wrong." Wu Gen threw away a freshly cut piece of wood in his hand, which made Li Qi stop talking, could it be that Ye Ziming had an accident.

"He climbed up on the daughter of the Zhenfu family, this person is a widow, and I heard that three husbands have died in succession." Li Qi frowned, obviously a little disdainful of Ye Ziming's move.

Suddenly hearing this letter, Wu Jian was slightly stunned, Ye Ziming's taste was also a little too much. The so-called tiger in the mountain, walking towards the mountain, is indeed a lonely brave man.

"Regardless of him, he likes this way, this Lu Fengxi came to Liu'an City for my dreadnought." Wu Yan turned his head and walked towards the camp, asking as he walked. m.

"Yes, as Tudan said, I'm afraid the Lu family will let us work for them, and they don't want others to get involved in the Meng family." Li Qi followed Wu Yan while reporting the news he had touched, "I heard that the Meng family and the Ji family are somewhat colluded."

Wu Gan's footsteps stopped, looked at the mountain top in the distance and was silent, and only said slowly after a long time: "The Ji family is not Ji Ye. ”

Half an hour later, Wu Gen and Baoxiang and others gave an explanation, and rode to Liu'an City with Li Qi, and he wanted to meet the Lu family steward in person.

After entering the city, Wu Gen did not go to the courtyard that the Lu family rewarded him, but went straight to Lu Qing's mansion. When he entered the mansion, Lu Qing was already waiting in the main hall, and Lu Fengxi was sitting in the main seat.

"Wu Qianhu, don't come unharmed, I haven't seen you for many days, and you are becoming more and more handsome." Seeing Wu Gen coming in, Lu Fengxi immediately stood up and waved at Wu Gen again and again, the smile on his face was enough to melt the winter snow.

Wu Yan stepped forward and grabbed Lu Fengxi's hand tightly, "Brother Lu, Steward Lu, I want you to arrange me here that day, so I will run back to Maojing City to enjoy the blessings, and I don't know how much to come and see my brother." You don't know, the city lord of Lu is very stingy, I am cultivating and farming, and I barely passed this year. ”

Seeing that Wu Gen sued himself as soon as he came, Lu Qing was also angry, "Wu Gan, you are touching your conscience and telling me when I have overpowered your military resources, and when was it not when you rubbed some more oil." ”

"Alas, City Lord Lu, you don't know, it's difficult for me." Wu Yan looked embarrassed, grabbed Lu Fengxi's hand and refused to let go, "I have a group of people to raise, and the human race and the shepherds are mixed, so I will poke the basket at the end of three days." In addition, he also raised a group of people, and he didn't have his own territory, so the various expenses were much tighter. ”

"This one....... hehe." Lu Fengxi smiled, and tried to pull out his hand several times, but he couldn't do it, "Wu Qianhu, what's the matter, why don't we sit down and discuss it carefully." ”

Wu Yan grabbed Lu Fengxi's hand and shook it vigorously, "Steward Lu, the dreadnought army has come to the present step by step, but it is the light of Young Master Lu and your old man." Young Master Lu is not here, you are the relatives of our dreadnought army, you can't treat us as outsiders. As soon as I heard the news of your old age, I came here without stopping, and I hope to understand my loyalty. ”

"That's that, sit sit down." Lu Fengxi felt that his hand was hurting, and hurriedly dragged Wu Qian to his seat.

After sitting down, Wu Ganfang arched his hand at the other party and said, "I don't know what the steward is doing in Liu'an City, but it has something to do with my dreadnought army." ”

Lu Fengxi and Lu Qing glanced at each other and stroked their long beards, "Wu Qianhu is well-informed, and this time he is indeed here for the matter of the Dreadnought Army." Now the undercurrent of the Iron Hand Province is surging, and my Lu family is no exception, there are some people with ill intentions who are ready to do bad things.

When there is such chaos, it is necessary to have a fighting material like Wu Qianhu. Moreover, the Dreadnought Army has been formed for many days, and it is just the right time to test the effectiveness of the training by exterminating these ambitious people, and I don't know what Wu Qianhu wants. ”

"Steward Lu is too modest, Wu Gan, as an abandoned pawn of the Ji family, is valued by the young master, and he should have served the Lu family. It's okay to hit, but that's it. Speaking of this, Wu Gen looked embarrassed and picked up the tea cup in front of him.

"Oh, I don't know what difficulties Wu Qianhu has." Lu Fengxi glanced at Lu Qing, turned his head to face Wu Qian, and said sincerely.

"Alas, you know Steward Lu, the Lu family gave me 3,000 soldiers, and the Dreadnought Army only has 1,000 soldiers, but in fact, I still have to support those people and servants, this is the difficulty of not having territory. In addition, a thousand pawns will suffer a lot against any family, and I am afraid that I will not be able to defeat it. Wu Gen sighed heavily and poured bitter water on Lu Fengxi.

Lu Fengxi understood as soon as he heard it, this was to negotiate terms with himself. Okay, I'm afraid that you won't talk about the conditions and refuse at once, since you dare to talk about it, it proves that Wu Gen is still willing to send troops.

"Wu Qianhu, there are no outsiders here, you can put forward any ideas, see if the old man can help some." Lu Fengxi folded his hands in front of his abdomen and looked at Wu Yan with a smile.

"Okay, Steward Lu is really a smart person. First of all, I asked, who will be hit this time. Wu Yan sat up straight.

"The Meng family, I have heard of Wu Qianhu if I want to come."

"Okay, the Meng family, as a thousand households, excluding those soldiers who defend the city on weekdays, can use nearly two thousand mobile troops, and my dreadnought army will definitely have a hard time fighting, and the Lu family needs to attract some of its troops.

In addition, the Meng family has a total of five large and small cities, and my dreadnought army can not want these territories, but I want these captured soldiers and the property of three cities. Wu Yan talked eloquently, and when he saw that Lu Fengxi wanted to speak, he raised his hand to stop the other party.

"I want a lot of money, but the steward should know that land is the most valuable, and with land there are people, and there is a steady stream of taxes, which is what the Lu family needs. On the other hand, the dreadnought army actually did not gain much, and now it has finally expanded to 1,000.

According to our previous discussion, the number of dreadnoughts must be expanded to three thousand, and the money given by the Lu family is simply not enough, so the property of these three cities is also to supplement military supplies. Otherwise, the money has to be paid by the Lu family, wouldn't it increase the pressure on the mainland family. And. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Gen paused, "Seeing that the situation in Tieshou Province is deteriorating day by day, the Dreadnought Army will become an army as soon as possible, and it is better to help the Lu family as soon as possible." ”

After listening to Wu Gan's remarks, Lu Fengxi was unmoved, picked up the tea cup with his orchid fingers, and gently blew the tea leaves on the water.

After taking a big sip comfortably, Lu Fengxi said quietly: "Wu Qianhu, I heard that you are close to Ji Ye, to be honest, my Lu family is not without money, but I am afraid that the money will bring disaster to me." To put it mildly, if there is a change in the future, I don't know if Wu Qianhu is towards the Ji family or my Lu family. ”

Wu Yan sighed and said dejectedly, "I know that in your eyes, I am also a slave-like existence with the second surname, and it is natural to be precautionary. There are no outsiders present today, so I, Wu Gan, will dig out my heart and say a few words from my heart.

I have a good relationship with Ji Ye, but what does it have to do with the Ji family, Ji Ye is the head of the Ji family? Why did I work so hard to create the Dreadnought Army, and I was taken away by others, to be honest, some people in the Ji family don't want Ji Ye's power to grow.

In this way, no matter how deep my personal friendship with Ji Ye is, how can I have any gratitude to the Ji family. When something goes wrong, I protect Ji Ye's life, or I go overseas, or I am willing to be a common person, and I just do my part of brotherhood. ”

Lu Fengxi put down the teacup in his hand and nodded slightly, "What Wu Qianhu said is also reasonable, I think you have worked hard to lay the foundation, but it was taken away by someone for nothing, and it is natural that your mind is unsettled." Don't worry, my Lu family will never do such a thing as a rabbit and a dead dog. ”

Sneaking a glance at Lu Fengxi's reaction, Wu Qian sighed in his heart, an old fox like Lu Fengxi, it is not okay to lie completely, he has to be true and false, and he can only convince the other party.

"Since Steward Lu has spoken out about this layer, it makes me feel a lot more relieved. To tell the truth, once I was bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and I was really scared by the treachery. The Lu family has this heart, and Wu Yan must work hard. Wu Yan also sighed when he heard this, and he threw his hand at Lu Fengxi again and again.

"Ahem." Lu Fengxi coughed, his expression was a little unnatural, "I don't know how many people in Xingshan's dreadnought army will listen to Wu Qianhu's words, if the situation changes, they may be able to be moved." ”

Wu Yan smiled slightly and let out a sigh of relief, "It turns out that Steward Lu fought this idea, frankly speaking, it is impossible to have no impact at all, after all, there are still a group of brothers in the army." But it is impossible to shake the whole army, after all, it is Ji Yan who is now in charge of the dreadnought army. This person is talented and intelligent, and he is willing to throw money, and after a long time, people go to tea and cool, and most of the hearts of the army will eventually turn to her.

Moreover, this time she brought a lot of people over, and little by little she encroached on the authority in the army, and my brothers have gradually been squeezed out of the periphery. Before I came, Ji Yan and I had a big quarrel over the assignment of duties. ”

Lu Fengxi nodded, what Wu Yan said was consistent with the information sent by the dark line, this Ji Yan was eager to seize power, which had chilled the hearts of many old people.

"Okay, it's okay to move some of it, as long as you involve this team." Lu Fengxi nodded with satisfaction, "I have also heard of this army, the combat power is extraordinary, Ji Ye has its help, it is enough to fight against the southern army, Wu Qianhu's training ability is famous, which is also the reason why the young master of my family highly recommends you."

That's it, I should give the conditions mentioned by Qianhu for the time being, and I will officially order it after the head of the family is revealed, and Qianhu can prepare in advance according to this. In addition, the Dreadnought Army should be needed, as long as it is within the scope of negotiation between you and me, you can find the Lord of the Land City.

The trouble this time is that the Meng family did not act excessively, and the Lu family's rash dispatch of troops may make the hearts of various families feel different. Therefore, this battle was dominated by the dreadnought. ”

"Okay." Wu Yan slapped the case and got up, but the two of them were taken aback, "The steward is really refreshing, unlike some people, who are waiting for the steward's good news." As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Qing disdainfully.

Lu Qing looked resentful, didn't he just give the previous five hundred strength bows, why not complain to his family in person.

After the three of them finished negotiating, under the enthusiastic invitation of Wu Gan, Lu Fengxi and Lu Qing went to Youyishan to inspect the dreadnought army on the spot, and when they saw these orderly and murderous tigers and wolves, they also felt that the Lu family's investment was worth it.

Before leaving, Lu Fengxi left a few falcons, and bluntly said that after the head of the Ming family, he would fully cooperate with the dreadnought army to attack the Meng family.

Some people died, but not completely......
