Chapter 185: Happy Birthday
Swallows come and go, green leaves grow and wither, spring is annihilated by the hot summer, and then there is a gloomy and indifferent cool autumn.
Bingzhou is located in the north, the cold came earlier than Yuzhou, and the white-clothed camp city under Luliang Mountain was infected by the cold air of the mountains, and it was permeated in a west wind and gloom. The walls, roofs, and even the training ground of the dock fort were sprinkled with yellow leaves blowing down from the mountains.
But as the castle became more and more perfect, the open space outside the city gradually became prosperous.
In the past few months, Wu Feng has led the white-clothed battalion to fight bandits, and has made many achievements, and has established close ties with local chambers of commerce.
The influence of the white-coated battalion grew, and the soldiers also had material needs. Many small traders, artisans, tavern owners, and singers were attracted to the castle, and a small market town was formed under the castle, and many hunters and medicine pickers in Luliang Mountain also brought their harvest to sell here.
The bandits who harm the local area are the most hated objects of the people. The troops led by Wu Feng fought bravely, and they had no scruples in fighting and exterminating the rogues and mountain bandits, sparing no effort, and naturally formed an excellent reputation among the people.
In the eyes of the local chamber of commerce, the local wealthy clan structure is bloated, there are many clansmen, and the interests are not clear, so it seems to be more greedy. It is too cost-effective to cooperate with the white-clothed battalion and seek asylum. Not to mention that the Baiyi Battalion has also inherited the peripheral heritage of the Valley of Forgotten Worries, and there are many talents who are good at business.
So with the help of these chambers of commerce, in just a few months, the market town outside the city has grown rapidly, and has reached a scale of nearly 1,000 people.
Because of the limited size of the White Clothes Battalion, the scale has now reached a critical point, and development has begun to slow down. However, in time, sooner or later, the market will grow to the size of tens of thousands of people like Iwakura Castle Market, and may even become a large city built on the mountain in a few decades.
Wu Feng was above the attic of the castle, gently put down the scroll in his hand, and looked at the thousands of lights under the city with satisfaction.
These few months, he simply didn't get too busy. During the day, they were to train their soldiers. At night, they have to practice internal and external exercises or meditate to collect their understanding, not to mention various chores, to prepare for the expansion of the camp, and to absorb new blood for the white-clothed camp. It is necessary to manage the industries inherited from the Valley of Forgotten Worries, to deal with the large and small wealthy families, to make good relations with the local chamber of commerce, and to expand the influence of the Baiyi Battalion, every once in a while. He also had to personally lead the troops to fight to the death with the bandits.
He's kept his sleep to a minimum. But for at least a month, if you want to read a book, you can only hold it while eating.
Now that all affairs have been on the right track, in a few months of operation, Wu Feng discovered the strengths of everyone under his command, and promoted people with different talents to their respective suitable positions, so that he could breathe a sigh of relief.
The development and utilization of the industry in Forget Worry Valley is, of course, presided over by several people, including Liu Dazhi. Song Shannei and his spies are still mainly responsible for intelligence work.
The squad leader who was promoted before because of flattering Wu Feng was named Jiang Ye. Wu Feng originally promoted him just to warn those soldiers who still had the heart to oppose him. But in the past few months, I found that this person is not a mediocre talent, his ability to sneak around and shoot horses can play a great role in the process of running business, and at the same time, Jiang Ye also has the advantage of doing things.
So Wu Feng handed over most of the things of recruiting large and small chambers of commerce to Jiang Ye, and the Baiyi Battalion received the task of fighting bandits and protecting trade routes from the Chamber of Commerce, and in return, the Chamber of Commerce directly gave a large amount of money as a reward, or included some or even all of the industry under the protection of the Baiyi Battalion.
The lights under his eyes flickered, and he was prosperous with his own hands, and he could hear the melodious singing of the singer from afar. and the laughter of the people. You can also see people setting off colorful fireworks, bursting in the sky in the sound of explosion, blooming in the autumn sky with a different kind of beauty.
Wu Feng really has a sense of joy, which is the harmony of the people. is also because this is the first step in his own hegemony.
Those who want to chase the deer must first settle the people. Of course, it seems too hypocritical to say that we are fighting for hegemony for the sake of the people, but the process of striving for hegemony and realizing oneself is often accompanied by efforts to seek benefits for the people.
I was about to continue to pick up the military book in my hand and study, but the window suddenly opened. A stream of wind wafted in, accompanied by a faint cold fragrance.
This window is a glass window specially customized by Wu Feng, which is as clear as water. Because he was afraid that the autumn wind would blow the pages, Wu Feng closed the window.
You don't have to think about it to know who's coming in.
Since Yun Hailan came to Hedong, he has been active in this vicinity. Speaking of which, Wu Feng's current living room is also spacious and hidden, but she refuses to share a room with Wu Feng as she did in the Valley of Forgotten Worries, so Wu Feng arranged a place for her to live in the city.
But on the grounds that it was a critical time for her cultivation to recover her strength recently, she often stayed on the mountain for several days and ten days in a row, and Wu Feng couldn't find her shadow at all. Only when Wu Feng's blood was needed did Yun Hailan look for him.
In addition, Wu Feng also asked her to assassinate two bandit leaders who were not low in cultivation, but only by pinching and blowing up the jade talisman she gave herself invited her back.
In a word, since that night, Yun Hailan has suddenly become cold to Wu Feng.
Her competitive spirit made her make an over-the-top seduction move, violating the principle of leaving immediately, but she was still suppressed by Wu Feng again. She later realized that what she did at that time was really inappropriate and unreasonable, but instead launched a temper of the eldest lady and seemed lukewarm to Wu Feng.
After all, although Wu Feng told her to face her heart, it was easier said than done. In fact, she was still afraid.
Woman...... What a strange creature, Wu Feng thought.
"Aunt Yun, do you miss me?" Wu Feng smiled slightly. Counting the time, today is not the time to need blood.
"Who would. Yun Hailan's expression was cold, not at all the coquettish and seductive expression he had before.
Although her temperament is like an ice beauty at this moment, she speaks as if she is negative.
The clothes were changed into the purple thick clothes, which were no longer exposed, but this set of clothes was bought by Wu Feng for her.
"What if I miss you?" Wu Feng smiled slightly.
"What does it have to do with me?" she didn't bother to look at Wu Feng's gaze, with an arrogant look.
Her expression is like ice and snow, and at first glance, it really has a ruthless taste.
Wu Feng knew that she was just a man, so he wasn't angry. But he understood why Yang Qi was abandoned after being used by Yun Hailan, and he would have such a powerful resentment, so that he was psychopathic and murderous.
If a woman who has always been soft-spoken and smiling to herself suddenly becomes cold as frost. It seems that he doesn't take himself seriously at all, and men with strong self-esteem will grit their teeth with hatred. It's just that a person as crazy as Yang Qi is really less than his luck.
"So...... But is there anything you want me to do?" Wu Feng reined in his frivolous aura and said in a serious tone.
With Wu Feng's arrogance. Since Yun Hailan had no intention of laughing with him, he would never lower his voice to please him. In terms of pride, he is no different from the other party, or even more proud.
"There's something you need to do...... But......" Yun Hailan said coldly: "It's to be closed." ”
Wu Feng was taken aback, and he didn't know why Yun Hailan said such a thing. Puzzled: "Ended?"
"Yes, that's the end. Don't you think that our current relationship is very inappropriate? After all, the age gap between me and you is too big......" Yun Hailan said slowly, as if she was not joking at all.
Wu Feng didn't know what to say, most of the ambiguity between the two happened under the teasing of Yun Hailan, but she asked Wu Feng to end the current ambiguous relationship between the two.
"You made me face my heart, and so should you. Get your dream sister back. It's time for your relationship and mine to return to normal. Yun Hailan said.
"Senior Sister Meng?" Wu Feng wondered, "Could it be ......?"
I think of the dream dance. Wu Feng's heart still hurts, but after these few months, he has gradually lost hope of finding the other party.
The world is so big, how can two separated people be reunited so easily? Now I have to use the pseudonym Xie Yi, when the name Wu Feng moves the world, how many years will it be?
Yun Hailan nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
She gently took out a slender thing and shook it in front of Wu Feng's eyes.
Through the bright lights at night, Wu Feng could see clearly that it was a hair.
The hair is black, but with a hint of yellow. It's even more shiny.
Mengqiwu's hair is black and light yellow, which matches her amber skin, and she has oily skin. The hair is also a little shinier than the average person.
"This is what I picked up next to the bloodstain when I was searching for her with you in Mo Yexi, and it was very well preserved in the jade bottle during this time. I didn't tell you at the time, it was to surprise you. Now that my cultivation is about to return to the Supreme level, I can use this hair to launch the Tracing Technique. Even though she's at the ends of the earth, I can tell you exactly where she is. ”
"How is it?" Yun Hailan raised her eyebrows lightly: "Do you want me to help you get her back?"
Wu Feng understood what Yun Hailan meant, and relied on Yun Hailan to find Meng Qiwu, then Meng Qiwu must have known about Yun Hailan's existence, which eliminated the possibility of him stepping on two boats.
But Yun Hailan's words made it difficult for him to react all of a sudden.
What's more, he is indeed greedy for the beauty of getting along with Yun Hailan.
"Aunt Yun...... This ......" Wu Feng was slightly stunned.
"Men, it's all like this, half-hearted. Yun Hailan scoffed.
At the same time, Wu Feng spoke: "Activate the Dao technique." ”
Yun Hailan still had a sarcastic smile on her face: "Hesitant, I still don't want to look down on it." You told me what your sister's hair was like. I actually picked up my hair on the road, dyed it a little yellow, and applied it with oil, so it's pretty good, right?"
Wu Feng was stunned again.
Yun Hailan said again: "What's more, how can you really believe that there is a Taoist technique in the world that can find a person for thousands of miles with just one hair?"
Her voice was cold, but there was a hint of pride, after all, she had finally deceived the scheming Wu Feng.
With Wu Feng's cleverness, he didn't come to this, but he cared about Meng Qiwu and messed up, which led to a mistake in judgment.
After Yun Hailan finished speaking, she turned around and slowly walked out of the window.
When passing by the large rosewood table, Wu Feng suddenly heard a sound from Ding Di, and something was placed on the table.
When he looked at it, the whole body of this thing was bright white and snowy, and there were traces of runes on it, but it was a bone inscription.
In the bone inscription, the breath of the demon snake is faintly revealed, this is a piece of beetle snake bone inscription, although the grade is not high, but the bone inscription is a valuable thing, no matter how low the grade is, it is also a strange thing.
Wu Feng is now practicing the Rock Collapse Palm, and his exercises are biased towards softness, and he needs the bone inscription of the beetle snake, which is known for its softness.
"Happy birthday, Xiao Feng. ”
Yun Hailan greeted the moonlight, turned her back to Wu Feng, and said lightly: "I killed a few little snakes and found them in their lair, this bone inscription must be the bones of their ancestors." ”
Wu Feng saw an extremely slight wound in her palm.
Because the cultivator is a long-range attack, he is not easy to be injured, although Yun Hailan was only slightly injured, it also shows that the battle is definitely a tragic battle, and the so-called few little snakes are naturally not simple.
But what he didn't expect was that Miss Yun actually remembered her birthday. Yun Hailan had asked about his birthday before, and Wu Feng replied casually, not paying much attention to it.
Since his disappearance, no one has celebrated his birthday. This period of general affairs was so busy that he even forgot about himself.
He felt as if his throat was clogged, tears almost spilling out of his eyes.
Seeing that Yun Hailan was about to disappear into the window, Wu Feng realized that it was time to take the initiative to end this cold war.
Even if it's just a relationship, there will be no result, but if you don't express it now, you may regret it for the rest of your life.
Even if you just have it, it's better than not having it at all.
"Tsundere Aunt Yun, she's really cute. Wu Feng tried his best to say in a flat voice.
Yun Hailan's delicate body shook suddenly, and she stopped flying out of the window: "You...... What do you say?"
Wu Feng said: "Aunt Yun, what you said about facing your heart, as far as I am concerned-I like the cold and arrogant Aunt Yun, and I also like the delicate and charming Aunt Yun, every appearance, every character, I will remember it in my heart, as my best treasure." If Senior Sister Meng comes back, of course I will make the right choice, but it is not only feelings, but also a man's responsibility and responsibility. ”
He said it very softly, but the words were like iron, and he was loud and loud.
Yun Hai turned around.
"You kid......" she gritted her teeth hatefully, "It's exactly the same as other stinky men, but you can always say a set of truths that others can't refuse......"
"Damn little perverts. Yun Hailan said word by word, but tears were already rolling in her eyes.
"Thank you for the compliment. Wu Feng quietly wiped away the tears in her eyes with a towel and hugged her into his arms, and a wisp of energy popped out of his hand to extinguish the lights in the room.
Such a scene, if there is only a hazy moonlight, is even more charming.
Yun Hailan didn't struggle, leaning her head on his shoulder. The shadow of the moon lingers, stretching the shadows of the two and blending together.
The night breeze was slightly cool, blowing on Wu Feng's face. He had no thoughts in his heart, sniffing Yun Hailan's elegant fragrance, and watching her gray hair brush past his eyes.
If this moment is eternity.
How nice it should be. (To be continued.) )
