Chapter 45: Prepare for the Mountain

Ariel Ye didn't wake up until dawn. Although she didn't show up and showed her face at this banquet in Yong'an, she actually worked harder with the heavy responsibility of strategizing. However, it is precisely because of her arrangement that the banquet can be so luxurious and magnificent, which has opened the eyes of all parties in Yongan. No matter how the Du family used to be prosperous in the court, now they are just a local force in a corner of the country, and they will definitely not be more authoritative than Ye Yichen for arranging such a large-scale banquet. The children of the Heavenly Family, especially the female dependents, have been trained since they were young in the preparation of this kind of ceremony, ceremony, banquet, etc., and this kind of royal-level training is not something that the local powerful family can afford.

After all, Ye Yichen is not the princess who came to stretch out her hands and open her mouth for food, without Wan'er by her side, she has to take care of her own daily life. These days, in Montenegro Fort, Long Nan has arranged two new maids for her, one is eleven years old and the other is fifteen years old, although she has received some training, but whether it is eyesight or doing things, there is still a distance of 108,000 miles to be able to properly match Ye Yichen's habits. Ye Yichen sometimes finds herself interesting, if it was in the past, there were such stupid maids around her, she would have to get angry several times a day, and she would not give a chance to directly pull her down. Now, she will teach them to do things kindly and generously.

Eleven-year-old Lian Qing has been guarding Ye Yichen's door since the morning, holding a book and reading, while looking at the water boiling on the small stove next to her. When it cools, discard it and re-pot it to continue boiling. It's not a big deal to waste some firewood, but if the hostess wakes up without hot water to wash her face, it is her sin. Before Lian Qing came to Black Mountain Fort, she followed a female Taoist priest. With an adventuring team came to Yong'an. However, they were not very lucky, and as soon as they entered the mountain, they were attacked by demon beasts, and the female Taoist priest died. No one in the team was willing to take care of this girl, so they sent someone to send Lianqing out. I wanted to find a random place to settle down. Unexpectedly, the person who sent people out fell off the cliff while looking for a water source. Lianqing, a little girl who was less than ten years old at that time, spent a whole night in fear in the mountains, and was brought back by the villagers who patrolled the mountains in Heifeng Village at that time. Lianqing has a delicate face, and has been taught literacy and arithmetic by female Taoist priests since she was a child. Smart and clever, Jin Ge asked her down and gave Long Nan as a companion. Although Long Nan is younger than Lianqing, she takes care of this young lady everywhere.

Speaking of which, if you want to recommend Lian Qing to Ariel Ye, Long Nan is boss is reluctant. Things are going on in Fort Montenegro right now. One more person who can write and count is a great help. However, after all, Ariel Ye also needs help to be able to write and calculate, and Lianqing's temperament is too cowardly, and she is not suitable for assigning work alone, which made Long Nan make up her mind.

"Miss, are you up?" heard Suosuo's voice in the room. Lian Qing hurriedly pushed open the door a little, and the probe came in and looked at it and asked.

"Well, it's up. Prepare me to wash up. ”

"Yes, Miss. Lian Qing said hello to the maid Yanhong who was watering the flowers on the other side of the courtyard, and asked her to prepare breakfast, and then ran to the side room to get a basin of sweat towels.

Ariel Ye sighed, but couldn't help but laugh again. Lianqing's door opening probe is really not very polite. If there were a lot of people coming and going outside, wouldn't her disheveled appearance in the room make people look good? The courtyard on Yong'an's side is only a small courtyard for them, and there are no screens in the room. Fortunately, no one else entered this small courtyard. A qiΔ“ is a three-person meal for their master and servant.

Waiting for Ye Yichen to wash, Lian Qing looked at Ye Yichen with admiration, wanting to ask but a little afraid to ask. Yan Hong couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Miss, after yesterday's feast." Can Montenegro really get the business going?"

Ariel Ye smiled slightly and said, "Everyone hopes that we can do it." However, now it only shows that Fort Montenegro has the intention to do this, and others don't think we can do it. More importantly, we have to make others feel that only we can do this. Ariel Ye's mind is smart and she has a very thorough understanding of all kinds of people's feelings, which is also the basis for her to travel to and from various countries on the Huangfeng back then. She knew that the two maids didn't want to have anything to do with the word thief anymore, but for the rest, I'm afraid for the time being, it would be useless to say more.

"Do you want to do business with us, and go into the mountains to hunt and make a lot of money?" asked Lian Qing in a low voice.

"Yes. This matter depends on how Chengbang handles it. Lian Qing asked quite well, and Ye Yichen replied with a smile. Speaking of Cheng Bang, Ye Yichen hurriedly asked again: "What is Cheng Bang doing?

"Get up. The young master didn't drink much yesterday, but he still got up in the morning according to the usual order, in the front yard. Yan Hong said, "Miss, are you going to call the young master over?"

"No need, I'll finish eating and go and see it myself. Ariel Ye said.

After a while, the situation that Ariel Ye saw made her feel a little headache. It was as if the green tendons on the door of the brain were beating again. Cheng Bang did get up very early, and after finishing his fixed cultivation in the morning, he was frolicking with Dabai and Xiaobai. He was dressed in a coarse cloth suit with the simplest leather armor on the outside. This simple leather armor has a soft texture, and most of it is made of leftovers from the skin of hunted monsters, and its only function is to cushion the body, especially the joints, to prevent the clothes inside from wearing. At this time, Cheng Bang was dressed up in such an unobtrusive manner, and he was fighting with Dabai. A man and a tiger fell to the ground, and Da Bai was slapping Chengbang's face with one paw. Cheng Bang wanted to fight back, but Da Bai jumped aside lightly, pounced, and knocked Cheng Bang to the ground. On the side, Xiaobai looked at the frolic between the two of them, which was neither strong nor technical, and yawned greatly.

"Hey, don't you have anything to do? Ye Yichen reprimanded.

Xiaobai saw Ye Yichen coming over, ran to the side and rubbed her leg with his head. Ye Yichen rubbed Xiaobai's head lovingly, and said gently: "You are still more well-behaved." ”

It took several days for Lian Qing and Yan Hong to become familiar with Da Bai and Xiao Bai, and they wouldn't tremble in fear when they saw these two big guys. Although Da Bai and Xiao Bai are jade spotted tigers, they are also known as fierce demon beasts, but they are just smart big pets around Cheng Bang and Ye Yichen. When Cheng Bang and Ye Yichen were not there or couldn't get out, they were now used to looking for someone else to eat and drink. In Black Mountain Fort, it is natural to look for Long Nan directly. And after leaving Black Mountain Fort, it was Lian Qing and Yan Hong.

Cheng Bang hurriedly jumped up from the ground, came over, and said, "There's nothing to do today." The luggage and other things are ready, and I will go and have a small gathering with Miss Du and a few other people. I was ready to go back in the afternoon. ”

"Is the Du family reliable this time?" When it comes to business, Ariel Ye is no longer scolding Cheng Bang. She helped Cheng Bang remove the simple leather armor, patted off the dust and floating dirt on his body, and said, "If they find out our way, it won't be easy." ”

"Where is it so easy?" Cheng Bang disagreed: "This time, I will take them two hundred miles into the mountains." This was already the limit of what their adventuring team could go into for the time being. Territory we are familiar with. It's more than two thousand miles, right?"

"Well, though, you have to make them feel that the entire Ten Directions Mountain is in our hands. Moreover, there must be unlimited benefits, far greater than the risks of further in-depth. Ariel Ye smiled and said, "No." If they felt that they could not bear it for two hundred miles, and did not dare to go any further, they would know what they would do to us that day. The road and supply points from Yong'an to Fort Montenegro have been completed, and the future continued operation is a big deal. In the future, if we can afford to buy and sell this stall, we will have to use all kinds of brains. ”

"Don't worry, no problem. Cheng Bang patted his chest and promised: "We have the ability to fight life and death again and again." How can it be so easy to be learned? They have already chosen their goals in the forest, and this time, we must give the people who follow us into the mountains a chance to gain knowledge?"

Ariel Ye smiled slightly. Cheng Bang is so boastful in front of her, and when she goes outside, she will be very polite and humble when she meets someone she is not familiar with. This inexplicable contrast made Ariel Ye a little unaccustomed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood. This guy, after all, is still a teenager who grew up in the mountains. It's also a free nature. For outsiders, the rules he was raised from a young age will work, making him polite and polite. And for her own people, the nature of a teenager, plus that little impulse to show her powerful side in front of her. Naturally, it was released. Ariel Ye knows her own mood, and in the face of such a Chengbang, she may still feel that he is naΓ―ve, but it is a naivety that only she can see. At the beginning, maybe she still had some thoughts about taking care of her younger brother, but now, in the long trek of the Ten Directions Mountain, she has seen Cheng Bang turn the tide again and again, try his best to defeat the enemy again and again, and even bring the whole team so bravely but calmly and strategically, Ye Yichen is now facing this exclusive naivety, but he is only full of joy and appreciation.

"Don't underestimate the heroes of the world. There are still others in the Du family, and there will be fewer masters above the excitation period in their hands. What we need to do desperately, for them, may just be a gesture. Anyway, you just have to weigh a little more. ”

"Don't worry. Cheng Bang put his hands on Ye Yichen's shoulders, wrapped his arms around her loosely, and said seriously: "Let's have a good fight in Black Mountain Fort." There are so many other things that we have to do with the money we can do, and I will definitely be able to do it. ”

Ye Yichen's face turned red, and he quickly swung his body to shake off Chengbang's hands, and said, "Anyway, you have to be careful this time, if I stay in Black Mountain Fort, I won't be able to follow you into the mountain." Without me as a healer, you must take it easy. If you are hurt, you can cry. ”

Cheng Bang grinned and nodded.

This is the first time to lead the team into the mountain, the most important thing is to show off your strength. As an important combat force and the best candidate to lead the original Black Mountain Fort, Jin Ge naturally wanted to go together. Even if he will be mainly responsible for the affairs of Yong'an's side in the future, this attack is something he must go to, and he really wants to go. So, those who temporarily sat in Yongan were replaced by Peng Ze and Chen Wenxing. Peng Ze actually has some different ideas, he is not good at spying in the mountains, and he is reluctant to be a scout, but he was born in the inner court of Dayue, and he can be said to be very proficient in intelligence. Right now, they are in Yong'an, in the heart of the enemy's country, and it can be said that there are crises everywhere, and they are naturally very concerned about intelligence. After talking to Cheng Bang and Ye Yichen before, everyone agreed, so he asked him to use Yong'an as a starting point to find a way to spread out their intelligence network. A sufficiently large sum of money has also been earmarked for this purpose. This money accounted for almost one-third of what they received after they cleaned up all their belongings. Chen Wenxing's cultivation is not progressing quickly, but he is loyal and has a little experience in planning, so he is a good candidate to be stationed in Yong'an. However, Chen Wenxing himself does not like to stay away from Ariel Ye and Cheng Bang for a long time. Therefore, this position is estimated to be rotated between Chen Wenxing and Jin Ge in the future.

This time out of hunting, there are not too many people in the excitement period, that is, Cheng Bang, Jiang Mei, Jin Ge, Zheluo, and Luo Dayuan and Zhao Baoqing, who are ready to stop in the mountains. There are only six people in total. Among them, Zheluo and Jin Ge did not cooperate with everyone, and Jin Ge was mainly responsible for coordinating the combat power of Fort Montenegro on the periphery. At the same time, I pick up the missing in the inner circle to prepare for the unexpected. Jerro, on the other hand, used his ability to stealth and raid to serve as a scout for the whole team, as well as a representative of several bystanders who followed them into the mountain.

The adventure team sent by the Du family this time was not complete, mainly to see the ability of Fort Black Mountain. It's just a pre-stop plus observation. But it is indeed a very powerful combination carefully selected by the Du family. Among the four core people, two monks, one healer, and one warlock, are all in the middle and late stages of the Qi Stimulation Period. Of these four people, three are children of the Du family. One of them is also a direct descendant. This lineup alone shows the importance they attach to working with Fort Montenegro. In addition, the Du family's adventure team also brought twenty rounds of retinues. Responsible for taking care of the daily life of the four people, as well as doing all kinds of menial work. Among them, there is also a one-eyed old man, who looks like he is in his early fifties, and his cultivation is at the peak of the late stage of the round body, but his combat power is close to the middle stage of the radical qi. This old man, the servant of the Du family, has been loyal to the Du family all his life and is responsible for leading the entire team. The old man had a late stage of cultivation due to intense qi, but because of several successive fierce fights and serious injuries. finally escaped with his life, but his injuries could not be fully recovered, and he finally fell to his current cultivation.

Mu En also pulled a team to join the hunt this time, but like the Du family, they were mainly based on observation and learning. There are two monks in the team who are in the Agitation Period. and the eight rounds of the body.

In addition, it was a monk in the late stage of the excitation that Qin Feng had to stuff in anyway. In order to get Fort Montenegro to agree to him sending this observer, he even asked the monk named Xia Qingzhang to swear to his face that he would completely obey the assignment of the people of Fort Montenegro and would never act at will.

With these people, although they are also good combat power, Cheng Bang didn't expect these people to help much from the beginning. They hunt demon beasts in the mountains, and the most important thing they rely on is not how high their cultivation is, but their in-depth understanding of the habits of demon beasts and the precise cooperation in the team.

But, at least this time, if they feel that these people are in the way, they have to take them with them.

In the afternoon, the group left Yong'an. It was not until the evening four days later that we arrived at Fort Montenegro. Although the fortress complex is under construction, a slightly rough building has been erected at the foot of the mountain, and you can vaguely see the future planning of the town, presumably just to have a temporary place to stay.

Xia Qingzhang was surprised to see that Black Mountain Fort actually had such a plan at the foot of the mountain so quickly, although he was still full of vigilance against the people of Black Mountain Fort, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional: The action of these bandits is really strong. Along the way, he was still somewhat out of place with this team, except for some simple chats with the Du family and the people of the Chamber of Commerce, he basically didn't say much. At this moment, he wanted to ask about the planning of the town here and the arrangements for entering the mountain later, but he was a little confused for a while, and he didn't know who to go to.

In the Du family's team, that doctor is a direct disciple named Du Xingzhou. Du Xingzhou is quite active, very skillful in dealing with people, after settling down the Du family and his party, he walked around this sloppy town at will, and happened to see Xia Qingzhang who was hesitating.

"Brother Xia, why are you staying here? Wait a minute, we have arranged a reception dinner, it is said that there are a lot of good goods in the mountains. How about coming with me?"

"That's good. This Black Mountain Fort, I don't know what will come out. Xia Qingzhang saw that it was Du Xingzhou, and hurriedly bowed his hand and happily responded. The relationship between the Du family and Montenegro Fort is not bad, and Du Xingzhou has an active temperament, so he has been looking for opportunities to chat with Cheng Bang and Ye Yichen on various topics in the past few days, and he knows a lot about Montenegrin Fort now.

"It is said that it is Nanshao wild boar and Qingling fruit wine...... Du Xingzhou showed a leisurely expression.

"Nanshao wild boar, isn't this something that you can only get when you enter the mountains?" Xia Qingzhang is still familiar with the Shifang Mountains, so he naturally knows the general distribution.

"Qinglingguo wants to make wine, at least half a year old...... I don't think it's a recent one. They had a big feast, and the whole Black Mountain Fort had a share, maybe not everyone had the wine, but the meat certainly had it. Even those hired artisans have a ...... They didn't think of Nanshao wild boar as something big at all. "Although Du Xingzhou is a direct disciple of the Du family, he does not have any arrogance, but his temperament is quite peaceful. But he likes all kinds of food, and when he asked about the dinner arrangements just now, he was a little uneasy.

Nanshao wild boar is a kind of social demon beast that is very unevenly distributed in the mountains of Shifang, and the combat power of a single demon beast is not strong. Adult wild boars are about a round body, and not very rookie monks can solve it, but this kind of wild boar is often a large group in a group, rampaging in the mountains, even those high-level demon beasts, often will temporarily avoid. This thing has no regionality, so it has gradually become the most headache for the adventure team. Fort Black Mountain was able to take out such a large amount of wild boar to eat, and it is estimated that they have already started to clean up the wild boar colony. A large group of people with the most combat power are not in Black Mountain Fort, and they can break through the Nanshao wild boar herd with limited combat power alone, and this ability alone makes Du Xingzhou very surprised. And now, this kind of surprise also appeared in Xia Qingzhang's heart.
