"Then do it."

Zhao Cheng raised his hand, did not look at Xu He, his eyes were still looking into the distance, at this moment, the rising red sun just pierced the last clouds and mist in these mountains, making the vast mountains dyed with a layer of bright red.

The sun is like fire, shining brightly.

A little farther away, a few soldiers who were sent by Zhao Cheng to look for ore and dress up as mountain people, their eyes were pierced by the sunlight through the gap between the trees, and they blinked subconsciously, and they were actually a little tired, but thinking that the thing had been done, the follow-up rewards would definitely not be less, and this exhaustion was immediately dispersed.

The mountains and forests are deep, and walking in them is really not an easy task.

The mountains are deep and dense, and you can't see the handsome mountains, some are just evil and dangerous......

……

Southern Wilderness, Wucheng.

This city is built by the mountain is the only way out of the southern wilderness, relying on the natural danger and guarding, it can be said that it is impregnable, for a long time, relying on this natural danger, unifying the southern wilderness, and calling the king, countless.

As for the name of Wu Cheng, it has nothing to do with the Wu family, indeed, Wu City is the birthplace of the Wu family, but Wu Cheng is the earliest, but it came from King Wu who didn't know how many years ago.

King Wu is here, relying on natural dangers to build a city, the city is strong is a good thing, but too strong, but it is easy to make people lose their enterprising spirit.

At that time, the king of Wu was like this, thinking that the solidity of Wu City was the cause of the emperors of his descendants for eternity, but if he went out of the southern wilderness, it was a fierce battle, and he would be overturned if he was not careful.

Rather, it is better to reign and dominate here.

It has now been two months since the tiger and leopard cavalry defeated the Yellow Sky Army, and in the past two months, whether before or after the war, the wind of war has not blown into the city, and the city has been in an orderly manner from beginning to end, without the slightest chaos, which shows the methods of the Wu family.

After all, as long as the station is started, how can it have no impact?!

Let's just say that one of the lion's incomes in Wucheng is the caravans that come and go.

The Southern Wilderness is mountainous, the mountains and rivers are pregnant with elves, and there are many mountain goods that are rare to see outside, and the salt and iron, tea, spices, and even grain outside are in demand in the Southern Wilderness.

This time and again, the profit can reach several times.

As the gateway to the Southern Wilderness, Wucheng naturally taxed these transactions heavily.

But although the taxes are heavy, the caravans coming and going are still endless, and the Wu family has made countless money because of this, and even cultivated an elite like the tiger and leopard horse.

As far as there is such a thing as elite soldiers, everyone knows that it is powerful, but there are not many who have that strength to cultivate.

The biggest impact of this war was the sudden reduction of the number of caravans coming here.

This caravan entered the city, not to mention the taxes brought by the transaction, but its food and drink, replenishment of water, is another layer of income, more importantly, so that the people in the city can also get money, the people have money in their hands, naturally they will also spend, another layer.

As soon as the trade route was cut off, the operation of the entire system was undoubtedly interrupted.

When everyone has money to take, there is naturally no problem, but once it is gone, it will test the ruler's wrist.

"The Wu family is sitting on natural insurance, relying on caravans alone, they can harvest countless goods every year, it is said that those who get Wucheng get the southern wilderness, there are since ancient times, but it is a pity that throughout the ages, there are countless people who have owned Wucheng, but mostly, after sitting on it, the descendants will begin to be arrogant and lascivious, and there are few generations of martyrs."

"There is a legend that this is the curse of the first king of Wu, but in fact, but born in sorrow and died in peace, future generations, born to have everything, do not know the difficulty of starting a business, is to indulge in pleasure."

"The Wu family is an exception, starting from the recorded generation, the ancestor of the Wu family, just a horseman, not even a surname, generations to the master to raise horses, until the ancestor of the Wu family by chance, saved the master, this is out of slavery, and was given the surname Wu, after more than ten generations, the Wu family branches, continue to operate, each generation, there can always be a person who carries the tripod, even if there are several generations of slightly worse ability, but it can also be kept, until this generation, but it is not good."

"Even though the Wu family has been educating their children since childhood, the ancestors started a business, but none of them have become a weapon, Wu Qi is also a generation of heroes, but his eldest son is for a woman, first against Wu Qi, and then directly negative, in front of Wu Qi, cut meat for father, cut bones to return to mother, the second son was probably frightened by the eldest brother's experience, lingering in the land of fireworks all day long, not asking about political affairs, the third son loves opera, and often plays the role of a man, without the majesty of the master, the fourth son is tyrannical, and kills his subordinates and wives and concubines at every turn, Robbing a famous woman, notoriety, if it is the Lord, it will definitely make the people's grievances boiling, the Wu family's five characters, but there is a bit of scheming City, but it is a heavenly eunuch, no descendant, how can it be the Lord? ! ”

"In this way, Wu Qi let Wu Yuan, a nephew, ride in the tiger and leopard, he must be thinking that his uncle and nephew will succeed each other, and it can be regarded as a good story of a generation, and it can be regarded as the overlord of the ancients."

"It's a pity that Wu Yuan died like this, in the deep forest......"

On a tall building, Ji Zheng and I were talking.

On the side, it was Fan Qingmeng, and Fan Qingmeng's junior brother Mu Xuan.

Now that more than a month has passed, most of those group of Taoists have dispersed, each with their own place.

As for Fan Qingmeng and Mu Xuan, they were not in a hurry to leave, they wanted to see the follow-up changes in the qi of the Wu family, so they stayed here and even entered Wu City.

And Ji Zheng and I stayed here, but because what he originally selected was the Wu family, as early as decades ago, it was in this generation layout, and now it stays, on the one hand, to deal with all kinds of backhands here, on the other hand, I also want to see if there is a turnaround in things.

After many years of hard work, even if he is a masterpiece, he has experienced many years of ups and downs in the world, and he has polished his mind very firmly, but when he encounters such a change, it is still impossible to achieve complete peace of mind.

It is precisely because of the layout for many years that he understands the Wu family even more clearly than many people surnamed Wu, and even, he vaguely guessed that Wu Yuan was actually Wu Qi's son.

This is naturally top secret, but the Taoist has his own miraculousness, plus his entire division is staring at such a family, after a long time, some clues can still be seen.

"It's indeed a blessing and a curse, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that in just one month, the family's morale could decline to such a state."

"Not long ago, it was still a hidden dragon in the abyss, but now it has the appearance of yesterday's yellow flower."

"However, that Wu Qi is indeed a hero, seeing that things are wrong, he did not hesitate to kill 12,000 Huangtian prisoners, indeed, this move hurts the heavens, and in the eyes of outsiders, it is even more tyrannical, but if you don't kill, something happens in the deep forest, if someone regroups, kills from the mountains, and echoes with the soldiers, in an instant, it is a big chaos."

"As for venting anger and self-defilement, this matter does have some such meanings, but it is not the most important."

Fan Qingmeng said.
