Deng Aihou said: "In that case, you can go back to Iwakura with me first." I will immediately send someone to the east of the river, if you can really bring back the priceless treasure, your request is a small matter. ”

Wu Feng showed a smug smile on his face, Deng Aihou didn't feel that his request meant contempt for him.

People like Deng Aihou are not worthy of their own apprenticeship. Xiao Madge is his nominal master, but he has not been taught anything at all, and now that Xiao Madge is dead, if Wu Feng wants to apprentice again, then only the master of the Divine Hall, Su Mengzhen, is worthy of his worship.

For the inheritance of the shrine.

Wu Feng finally took out a handkerchief, wiped the greasy and wine marks on his hands and face, and then walked downstairs with Deng Aihou.

Even if they are all raunchy, there is still a difference between a celebrity and a flower after all.

The two walked along the hillside to the foot of Iwakura Castle, and Wu Feng realized that something seemed to be swimming in the wide moat.

When you look closely, it turns out to be blue-black crocodiles, one by one under the washing of the stream, which looks very pleasant. These crocodiles exude a fierce and ferocious aura, obviously belonging to a different species, and their combat power is not comparable to that of ordinary crocodiles.

Of course, the fish that grow naturally in the moat can't feed these big guys, and someone has to stick to them.

These crocodiles are trained to come out of the river whenever a foreign enemy comes to attack them, becoming the first flesh and blood wall against foreign enemies.

Because of them, it has become much more difficult to fill the moat.

Several guards guarding the door were burly, wearing heavy steel armor and holding a giant halberd of more than 100 catties, but when they saw Deng Aihou, they immediately came up to say hello, and their actions were very flexible, and their cultivation was obviously not low.

They couldn't help but be surprised to see Deng Aihou come back with such a disheveled teenager. However, Deng Aihou established a lot of prestige for himself by expanding the checkpoint on the Yellow River and increasing the income of the Iwakura Palace, so these people didn't ask anything.

Wu Feng followed Deng Aihou into the city gate, only to find that this was just an urn city, that is, an ear-shaped small city attached to the official city gate.

If the enemy army does not destroy all the archers on the urn city and attack the gate of the urn city, it will inevitably suffer from two layers of fire in the front and rear. There are stone bullets, fire oil, forage and other materials in the urn city to prepare for the purpose of defending the city. Because there are no wooden houses in the city, and it is separated from the main city by stone walls, even the city gate is made of fine iron, and painted with anti-rust red paint, even if it is ignited by the enemy with rockets or fire talismans, it will not affect the main city.

Because the Iwakura Hall is a castle, if it is too big, one will consume stones, and the other will reduce the protection ability of the formation, and the difficulty of guarding will increase, so the space inside is limited, and the houses are densely packed, and it is rare to see a huge and impractical building like a garden.

In the west, there are many castles made entirely of stone, multi-storey, and often capped, almost blocking out the daylight. But such castles are too small, with limited room to maneuver, and too much stone is consumed. The formation itself has the function of air defense, so there is no need to cap and affect the lighting.

The eastern dock fort has developed to this day, and it is more of a strategic fortress, which must be able to reserve a large number of soldiers at critical moments, and there must be barracks and school grounds inside that are enough to train soldiers. Therefore, with the exception of the most critical main attic, which is often made of stone and connected to the stone walls, the interior buildings are mostly wooden, which can be built or demolished in large quantities during the war, and reasonable adjustments can be made. This is sacrificing a certain amount of fire protection capability in exchange for stronger strategic value.

There is a long corridor between the inner and outer parts of the castle, and in order to ensure the use of space, there is a long room, two stories high, with a high wooden platform at the edge, which can be used as an arrow tower.

"Whether you come to Iwakura Hall to apprentice or self-nominate yourself and want to become a retainer, you live here until you pass the audit. Little Brother Xie, please be wronged, stay here temporarily, don't be ugly. Deng Aihou said.

Wu Feng smiled: "It's okay. ”

The space inside this longhouse is indeed small, but the beds and other daily necessities are complete, and the bedding and pillows are very clean, which is very similar to the hostel outside.

There is a hot spring on the mountain, so by the direction of the arrow tower, there is also a bathhouse, which leads the hot spring to everyone to bathe, but this bathhouse is also a little smaller, if there are many people, you may have to worry about whether the water is clean and your chastity.

After Deng Aihou left, Wu Feng went over there to take a look, only to see that it was like a fishing net full of fish, and he was unhappy for a while, thinking that he had boiled water and washed it in the room.

......

A few days later, several convoys entered Iwakura Castle in batches.

In order to avoid suspicion, Deng Aihou deliberately ordered the convoys to return to the market under Iwakura Castle from different directions, as if they were coming from different places, and the people could not tell that these convoys were all coming back from the east of the river.

The wealth of the Valley of Forgetting Worries did make the powerful figures of the Iwakura Hall jaw-dropping.

In order to keep it secret, the coachmen who transported it this time were all personally served by the elite disciples in the Iwakura Palace, which was really a solemn matter, which meant that if he couldn't get the wealth, Wu Feng would definitely give the corpse ten thousand pieces for the crime of teasing the Iwakura Palace.

However, many people still refused to believe the news in advance, believing that Deng Aihou was deceived by a child who did not know whether to live or die. It wasn't until they saw the desolate ruins of the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, and dug out of it a mountain of wealth, that they were all overjoyed.

The acquisition of this wealth could not be publicized, nor would it help Deng Aihou's prestige increase, but it could substantially expand the strength of Iwakura Palace.

In the main attic, Deng Aihou held a secret meeting, and even Deng Aihou's father, Deng Rong, who had lived in seclusion for many years, also came out to attend.

Deng Aihou said in a clear voice: "This time we can obtain such a huge wealth, the little brother of the Xie family has made great contributions, in my opinion, I can grant him the position of military advisor, and equip him with fifty guards." I wonder what everyone thinks?"

However, there was immediately an objection: "Father, no!"

It was Deng Aihou's only son, Deng Sanshi, who spoke.

Deng Sanshi is sixteen years old this year, and he was born with a strong and powerful birth, which is very different from his handsome father. The cultivation talent is extremely high, extremely brave, and has won the support of Deng Chi, Deng Che, and Deng Tong, among the four protectors of the Iwakura Palace, and is also the object of Deng Aihou's cultivation.

As a sect with a long history, the Iwakura Hall has a strong family character, and three of the four protectors are all members of the Deng family.

"Oh, why not?" asked Deng Aihou.

Deng Sanshi's voice was like a bell: "That kid named Xie Yi didn't show any special talent, but because he escaped from the Forgotten Valley Annihilation Incident, he was able to offer treasures, luck." And how to obtain the wealth of the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows can only be known by the upper echelons of the Iwakura Palace, and cannot be announced. But if that kid doesn't get the reward he wants, he will inevitably hate it, and maybe he will leak secrets, and in my opinion, it is better to ......."

When Deng Aihou heard this, he immediately rebuked angrily: "Shut up! How can a person be so disregarded for his faith." ”

If Wu Feng directly offered the treasure, Deng Aihou might also have the idea of killing people. But Wu Feng pretended to be a descendant of the Xie family and showed his morale, so he was greatly appreciated by Deng Aihou and decided that this person must be a talent.

Talent is rare, how can you kill at will?

The reason why Wu Feng deliberately behaved and made a fool of himself was precisely to vote for Deng Aihou and accurately grasp the psychology of Deng Aihou, a vassal and elegant disciple.

Deng Sanshi said: "The reason why my father values him is nothing more than claiming to be a descendant of the Xie family, maybe he is an impostor." Even if it's true, there are so many descendants of the Xie family, he is not a descendant, just a wanderer, what is it?"

Deng Aihou said: "Although the descendants are noble, if the children of the side branch can have the style of celebrities, it is also good! ”
