"I agree!" Queen Xia Qingge was the first to echo, and then immediately reminded: "Well, we can't go and rob ordinary villages and camps. ”

Tang Wen nodded: "Of course, the poor don't have much food in the first place. Besides, we grab food to take care of the poor in our camp. ”

"If you get food, you can't just give it to them."

General Zhou was afraid that Tang Wen had no management experience, and his idea was too simple, so he opened his mouth to remind.

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I came here with a hard life, and I naturally understand the truth." Tang Wen continued: "After getting the food, we will work for relief, as long as we are willing to work, the camp can take care of the food. Eat more if you do a good job, and drive out those who steal and play tricks. ”

General Zhou bowed his head in approval.

"Getting food." Tang Wen pondered: "I want to plan it." ”

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, he added: "If it can be done, we can get food within a month." ”

A month.

It's not long.

Judging from the reserves of the Black Mountain camp and Wujia City, it is more than enough to survive a month.

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

looked at Tang Wen's eyes as if there was something more.

There is not enough food to eat, and it happens every winter.

The camp alone cannot be solved.

Outside, there is a threat from the Black Mountain camp and alien beasts.

Every winter, there are several clashes with the Montenegrin camp.

Strange beasts attack the city, and it is constantly happening.

The meeting was dismissed, and many of the commanders left.

Only the queen, General Zhou, Zhou Bing and other core members were left in the house.

Tang Wen said his plan: "There are two targets, the Huang family and the boat gang, both of which are big forces. They each have their own grain camps, so they can just go to their granaries and get them. ”

With that, he took out a scroll.

When unfolded, there is a sketchy map of the mountain castle within a radius of thousands of miles.

It is densely marked with the large and small camps of the major forces.

The camp of the Huang family is marked with a yellow circle.

It reads: soldiers, farmers, chickens and ducks...... Iron ore and other words.

These handwritings indicate the main project of the camp.

The word [Bing] is a pure martial arts talent training camp.

The Huang family has been able to dominate the mountain city for many years, and the strong family members have emerged in an endless stream, which has a lot to do with their attention to talent training.

The [Bing] character camp cultivates orphans and children of the Huang family.

If a good seedling is found, it will be sent to the Huang family's base camp to increase resource investment.

Those with average understanding are left to be trained as ordinary guards.

The word "farming" camp, needless to say, is farming.

Often, the place where the camp is located is often a plain with a water vein.

If you are planting fruits and vegetables, then "fruit" and "vegetable" will also be marked on the map.

This map made the people who grew up in the camp a little distracted.

"The Huang family actually has so many resources!" "It should be said that there are several major forces in the mountain city, and there are a lot of territories below."

In addition to the Huang family, there are also the territories of the Chen family, the Lu family, the Blackwater Gang, the Juyan Martial Arts Hall and other forces.

Among them, the Chamber of Commerce, the Boat Gang, and the Horse Gang have the smallest number of camps, but the sphere of influence is large.

The purple lines representing the Chamber of Commerce extend in all directions, perfectly connecting the various forces in the mountain city.

In addition to this, the lines extend beyond the map.

The cyan lines of the boat gang are not very conspicuous on the map, but all rivers and lakes that can run boats have their docks.

In addition to freight, the caravan also provides low-level war beasts for major families.

It's a beast that goes to war.

Their main territory is grassland, forest, and mountain terrain.

These places are not suitable for growing any crops, but they are suitable for domesticating all kinds of large riding animals.

Tang Wen has looked at this map many times, but he is not so shocked at this time, and said with a smile:

"Our Flame Camp has also begun to develop, and now it has jurisdiction over Black Mountain, the Northern Silver Wolf Forest, and the Five Cities."

"How can it be the same, they are all reaching out for food."

"Take your time."

General Zhou thought about it more, and said with a solemn face: "Do you really want to provoke these two major forces?" ”

Tang Wen told Bai Youruo's experience.

General Zhou thought for a while and nodded: "The great forces are ruthless, and we have to prepare to retreat." ”

Tang Wen agreed: "For the time being, it is unlikely that another force of the Bai family will come to take revenge on us. But in case someone comes to trouble us, we retreat to the territory of the White Tiger Tribe. ”

The Bai family is even stronger than the Huang family.

But except for Bai Youruo and a few people, no one knew about the existence of the Flame Camp.

Even if you know, you can't see it.

To retaliate against a force that doesn't even have a five-grade master, and to cross tens of thousands of miles?

At the critical moment when the Bai family seized the throne, the faction to which Bai Ningbing belonged was not so idle.

The queen suddenly frowned, and asked in front of everyone, "How did you, the guest elder of the White Tiger Tribe, become a guest elder?" ”

Tang Wen glanced at Zhou Bing, held her hand, and said confidently:

"I have a good relationship with their holy daughter."

The air was instantly silent, and everyone looked at him together.

A smile appeared on Zhou Bing's fair face.

General Zhou looked at his face and nodded abruptly.

Xia Qingge also understood, and reached out to pat Tang Wen's shoulder, with an expression of a good job as a ghost.

Tang Wen thought of another question.

The White Tiger Tribe must be hiding secrets that no one knows.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be good for a force with strong four grades to directly unify the entire northwest land?

What does it mean that the Huang family can't leave the mountain city?

Could it be that the White Tiger Tribe also has a similar restriction for unknown reasons?

Xia Qingge and General Zhou continued to look around the map.

Tang Wen smiled in his heart, clapped his hands, and attracted everyone's attention: "What I want to say next is more important, and it is an unsolved mystery. ”

General Xia, who was squinting at the map on the side, suddenly said: "Then don't say it here, follow me." ”

Several people followed the secret passage to the underground.

Passing by the circular square, Tang Wen suddenly stopped, looking at the ring fireplace here, through the transparent glass, you can see the crimson charcoal burning inside.

The existence of the fireplace makes the dungeon warm.

Following his eyes, Xia Lao casually explained: "I know what you want to ask, this is not made by our camp. ”

"Huh?"

"You kid, think about it, there are swamps, forests, mountains, and big lakes near the camp, which are full of dangers, who will build a camp here?" Xia Lao knocked on the cigarette pouch and said.

Indeed, I hadn't thought about it before.

If you think about it, it's not really an inhabitable place.

For weak forces, it is best to settle down in a terrain like Taoyuan Village, surrounded by mountains, completely hidden in the mountain col, develop slowly, send people to explore, and train masters.

The Flame Camp is not close to the water source, there is no river, and the reclaimed fields are originally mountainous, which is not suitable for farming. It's not a good place.

So why did the leader of the Flame Camp make his home here?

Tang Wen understood, and looked up at the wall of the dungeon that had been around for quite a few years: "This is already here?" ”

"That's right, it's a ruin!"

Xia Qingge took a sip of wine and spit out a word that was rarely heard.

"My father told me that my hometown was in the far east."

Well?

Tang Wen's eyes were full of surprise.

Xia Qingge looked at him and said, "It is said that my ancestor is an exploration team from a certain big force. They went all the way west, as if to find out what was going on in the world, and then for some reason they couldn't go back. ”

"You didn't think about getting it back?" Tang Wen asked.

"Get it back?" Xia Qingge looked at him strangely: "How to find it?" I don't want to run around for the rest of my life, well, and get recognized everywhere. ”

"They didn't leave anything?"

"Their generation wanted to go back, and they tried many times, and some of them left and never came back, and they didn't know if they found their way back or died outside. There's not much left, don't think about it, these are too far away from us. ”

Knock knock knock.

Xia Qingge raised her bright face and drank heavily.

Suddenly, her hand trembled imperceptibly, a trace of wine slipped from the corner of her pink lips, and there was a hint of water on her slender neck.

Everyone was walking towards the secret room, and only Tang Wen beside her noticed this scene.

"What's wrong?"

The latter asked curiously.

"What's wrong, it's just that my hands are shaking, and this wine doesn't taste good."

As he spoke, Xia Qingge brought the gourd in his hand in front of Tang Wen's nose.

It is the taste of sweet potato roast.

Tang Wen didn't think much about it, and took out another wine jar from the empty stone.

"I knew you kid still had stock." Xia Qingge's beautiful eyes narrowed, took the wine jar, and looked at Tang Wen's neck.

There hung a necklace on which a small stone was wrapped in silver metal.

I just felt the fluctuations and knew that the wine was taken out of this small stone.

"How many more, will you take them all?" Her eyes burned and she swallowed.

It seems that he is hungry for Tang Wen's body.

"Hehe, drink less." Tang Wen turned around, suddenly turned back, stared at her eyes, and said curiously: "Speaking of which, how did you get addicted to alcohol?" ”

It is difficult for a master above the extraordinary to get drunk.

There are so many masters in the mountain city, except for the elderly and the elderly, the average young person rarely carries a wine gourd with him and drinks endlessly.

After all, wine still has a little influence on martial arts.

In the evening, you can relax with a drink of flower wine.

How can anyone carry a wine gourd as water all day long?

Xia Qingge blinked and said confidently: "Family alcohol addiction! ”

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it." Tang Wen was the first to walk into the secret room.

Xia Qingge raised her head and cooed, pouring the turbid sweet potato in the gourd into her mouth.

Tang Wen stepped into the secret room.

Her hand shook again, and although she immediately controlled it, a trace of wine still spilled out, wetting the red clothes on her chest.

Everyone waited in the secret room for a few minutes before Xia Qingge strode in with a wine gourd filled with bamboo leaves.

Look at the reddish appearance of her cheeks.

Everyone shook their heads.

Zhou Bing said coldly: "Why has the alcohol addiction been getting bigger and bigger recently?" ”

"What's getting bigger and bigger, it shows that I've practiced. Children know what to drink! Xia Qingge's head shook like a rattle, driving her upper body to shake lightly.

The scenery is very attractive.

Well, among the people present, only Tang Wen glanced at him.

Why is her chest wet?

The queen is not afraid of cold and heat.

The red dress was very thin, and it was wet with wine at this time, and her skin was as white as jade.

Tang Wen felt strange in his heart and looked at it twice.

"There is an underground demon cave in the mountain city, which is very dangerous. It stands to reason that the environment is even worse than our camp. But for some reason, they never seemed to think about moving out. ”

Previously, Tang Wen also mentioned the problem of underground, but it was not as thorough as today:

"According to normal thinking, even if the demon cave is to be suppressed, it should not be the whole clan and the whole gang of men, women and children who live in the mountain city together. Otherwise, once it can't be suppressed one day, it will be a disaster to destroy the gang and exterminate the clan. ”

"It's weird." General Zhou thought about it in his busy schedule: "If I were to design it, I would build the mountain city into an inner castle." There is no need to send people to the ground to fight desperately, just set a trap on the ground and wait for the enemy to come out. ”

Everyone nodded.

Tang Wen also agreed with his idea, if he could get gunpowder weapons from White Rock City, it would be even easier.

Just put up a high wall and throw explosives.

It's a big deal to build a few more layers of encirclement.

The lethality of gunpowder weapons is enough to kill ordinary martial artists.

Underground demons, they can't all be extraordinary, right?

Even if the gunpowder is blown up indiscriminately, it can take an extraordinary half life.

First cover a few rounds of gunpowder, and the rest will be easy to fight.

"What we can think of, they must have thought of it a long time ago, I asked the leader of the Blackwater Gang, that is, my master. He just said that the water is very deep, and the specific leaders are the three major families. It seems that they have a reason to have to go underground and fight desperately. ”

For this, Tang Wen has always been difficult to understand.

"Is there an unknown interest?" Old General Xia spoke.

Tang Wen shook his head: "Before, I also thought so, maybe there are some rare martial arts resources that make the Huang family willing to work hard." But they kept urging me to take the White Tiger Tribe down to guard it. If it is really beneficial, even if they can hide it from the five major forces in the outer city, they can't hide it from the five-grade white tiger. Can't hide it from the White Tiger Tribe. ”

There was silence.

Tang Wen talked about the doubts in his heart again.

The White Tiger Tribe did not come out to dominate one side, but instead stationed in the 100,000 mountains, living a relatively poor life, he was very puzzled.

"Maybe it's their faith and persistence, something similar to the ancestral teachings?" General Zhou guessed.

"It's not quite right, there are hundreds of people, all kinds of people. The White Tiger Tribe has tens of thousands of people. It is impossible for all of them to be willing, happy to live in poverty, and stick to the ancestral teachings. ”

The human heart is complicated, and who can withstand the temptation of a prosperous world?

The White Tiger Tribe also has ordinary transcendental and ordinary martial artists.

In the tribe, they do not have a high status, let alone enjoy any precious resources.

But once you come out, you can join any force or go alone, you can definitely mix freely and sing every night!

Why didn't anyone leave?

"Don't be in a hurry to find out the truth." Xia Lao coughed, glanced at Xia Qingge, and said in a heavy tone: "You are still young, it is the most important thing to improve your strength first, you must know that the answer to some things may change your life." ”

Huh?

Tang Wen looked at the old man, who lit a cigarette pouch and swallowed the clouds.

Tang Wen included, everyone was puzzled in their eyes, only the queen continued to pick up the wine gourd and drank it tons by tons, as if she didn't care too much about anything.

Night.

Piles of bonfires were lit.

To the sound of light drums, the young guards and warriors of the camp performed simple dances.

Young men and women enjoying the joy of the New Year.

Infected by the atmosphere, Zhou Bing pulled Tang Wen up and jumped for a while.

The two hugged and danced for a while, and Tang Wen went to pull Xia Qingge, who was drinking alone.

As soon as his hand touched the other party, Xia Qingge retracted his arm suddenly: "If you don't go, you can't go, the child will jump." With that, she turned and went up to the roof.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Tang Wen's ears: "You female leader, your body doesn't seem to be quite right!" ”

Like ice water poured on your head.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of Tiger Seven.
