Chapter 091: Black Mountain City Forces
The next day, Wu Feng took a raft and had reached the periphery of the northern foot mountain range.
The journey was extremely smooth, and in some deep pools in the Cangshui River, there were also some low-level demon beasts, but they didn't come out to find trouble.
Wu Feng guessed that it should be related to the little guy Long Qi. Wu Feng adhered to the principle that more things are better than less, and he did not hunt demon beasts
When he arrived at the periphery of the Beilu Mountain Range, Wu Feng did not change his route to land, and the Black Mountain City he was going to was already by the Cangshui River, so it was more convenient to take the waterway. It's just that when you reach the periphery of the Beilu Mountain Range, the area where the Beilu Mountain Range and the Dongchen Kingdom meet, the mountains are undulating and changing, the river drop is very large, and the raft is no longer so comfortable, but the speed is much faster.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wu Feng boarded a passenger ship to Black Rock City at the pier of Beishan City.
There was no word all night, and the next morning, the passenger ship docked in Liyang City, some people disembarked, and some people boarded.
The people on this boat are all going to Black Mountain City, even if some are just passing through Black Mountain City, but they have to change boats there. Most of the people in the boat went directly to Montenegrin City
Wu Feng has something to do now, he went to Black Mountain City for the first time, he didn't know anything about its situation, and he needed to investigate.
"This uncle, are you from Black Mountain City?" Wu Feng found a middle-aged man and asked him.
"It's the people of Black Mountain City, I don't know what happened to the little brother?" The middle-aged man was also a martial artist, but he was only at the fourth level of the Initial Martial Realm, and he could faintly feel the breath on Wu Feng's body, and replied to Wu Feng politely.
The middle-aged man can sense the breath of the martial artist on Wu Feng's body, which is naturally intentional by Wu Feng, the strength of the martial artist's world is respected, in order to facilitate things, after Wu Feng perceived the middle-aged man's cultivation realm, he kept the coercion on his body at the fifth or sixth layer of the first martial arts, just a little higher than the middle-aged man.
"Uncle don't be polite, this is the first time the kid has gone to Black Mountain City, and he doesn't know anything about the situation, so I asked the uncle about it, especially the distribution of the potential forces. ”
"Oh! I see, seeing that the little brother is so old, he has this cultivation, it should also come from the big family! No wonder you have to inquire about the situation of each power!" the middle-aged man said clearly, and then continued: "I am a native of Black Mountain City, and I still know the situation relatively well. ”
"The most powerful in Montenegro City is the six major potentials, including the City Lord's Mansion, the Black Mountain Gang, the Fang Family, the Xu Family, the Zeng Family, the Wang Family, and there are many small potentials below."
"The six great powers, how can they also include the City Lord's Mansion?" Wu Feng asked puzzled.
"Little brother, don't worry, the situation in Montenegro City is indeed the case. Montenegro City does not have a long history, it was originally just a small town, with only four families: the Fang family, the Xu family, the Zeng family, and the Wang family, but more than 50 years ago, there was a big landslide in Montenegro next to the original Black Mountain Town, revealing a large amount of pure iron ore"
"At that time, the warriors of the town, after careful investigation in Montenegro, found that Montenegro was rich in ores, and between the nearby small mountain ranges, a huge mine group was formed, of which the iron ore was the largest, followed by iron concentrate, cuprite and other precious ores. Since then, the originally barren town of Montenegro has relied on the sale of ore to develop and grow, and the first to benefit is the four major families. ”
After the news came out, the royal family sent the city lord and the army to build a city in Montenegro Town, and the city lord's mansion directly intervened in the mine and divided a part of the mineral resources. In the early days of mining, the four major families squeezed the miners too much, causing the miners to mutiny, and a large number of miners united to establish the Black Mountain Gang, which was weak at the beginning, but survived between the four major forces and continued to grow and develop, and is now completely able to stand side by side with the four major families. ”
"And the City Lord's Mansion is the first power of Montenegro City, Montenegro City is formed by the royal family, and the City Lord's Mansion represents the royal family, and it is almost half of the master of Montenegro City. What's more, the mines occupied by the City Lord's Mansion are no less powerful than any one. ”
"I see, I've heard of the royal family of Black Mountain City, I don't know how it is now?" Wu Feng asked again, directly introducing the topic.
"The Black Mountain City City Lord's Mansion is the largest, and the four major families are about the same as the Black Mountain Gang, but it seems that in recent years, the power of the Wang family has been weakening, and now it is the weakest of the four major families. Fortunately, the power of Montenegro City is divided into three units, the City Lord's Mansion is independent, the Fang family, the Xu family, and the Zeng family are united into one unit, and the Wang family and the Montenegrin Gang are united. It is precisely because of this that the Wang family was not annexed by the other three families. ”
"The Wang family and the Black Mountain Gang are united?" Wu Feng frowned, he had always been good and evil, and even a little jealous and hateful, and when he heard the name of the Black Mountain Gang, he didn't have a good impression in his heart.
Perhaps because he felt that he was a bad gang just from its name, he had a bad opinion and seemed a little arbitrary, and he continued to ask: "I don't know what is the style and reputation of the various forces?"
"The city lord is a member of the royal family surnamed Liu, who completely represents the royal family, and has always acted fairly, and has never intervened in the battle of the other five powerful forces, but the city lord's mansion basically doesn't care about other things except for managing mining and commercial taxes, and its reputation is not good, but it is definitely not bad. ”
"The best reputation is the Black Mountain Gang, the Black Mountain Gang was originally formed by miners, knowing the poverty of ordinary people, and being more kind to the miners of its mines, and rarely bullying the weak, but the people of the younger generation of the Black Mountain Gang are somewhat arrogant, and there is no older generation. ”
"Among the four major families, the Fang family and the Zeng family have completely become bullies, and among the original residents of Black Mountain City, they can be described as full of complaints. I heard my father and the older generation often say that these two families are full of nouveau riche, and when Montenegro was a small town, it was still diligent in its operation and development, but now it is stronger, and they are domineering and unreasonable. These two are also the worst reputable powerhouses in Montenegro. ”
"The Xu family, which is in the same camp as the Fang family and the Zeng family, is only a little better than the other two. The Xu family is not domineering, but they are mercenary, everything is based on interests, and it is often rumored that they have done something in secret. But the Xu family did not often bully ordinary people, and their reputation was better. ”
"The Wang family, the last of the four major families, has the best reputation among the four major families, no matter how strong the Wang family is now, it has always adhered to the admonitions of the ancestors, and has not become arrogant because it is strong. Before the establishment of the Montenegrin Gang, the miners rebelled and rebelled, and the Wang family rebelled the least number of miners, and the Wang family was more merciful to those miners, because the relationship between the Wang family and the Montenegrin Gang has always been good. ”
The middle-aged uncle was extremely talkative, and quickly explained the situation in Black Mountain City to Wu Feng, and then suddenly asked: "I heard that the little brother mentioned the Wang family before, does the little brother have anything to do with the Wang family?"
"Seeing that the uncle is a real person, the kid doesn't hide it, the mother is from the Wang family, but the mother died early, the family and the Wang family have cut off contact, and the kid has never been to the Wang family. Wu Feng said, there is nothing to hide.
One is that the Wang family has a good reputation and will not be disgusted when it is said; the other is that the Wang family is also a big family, and there are many clansmen, as long as it is not said that it is the descendant of the Wang family, no one will care.
Sure enough, the middle-aged uncle was not surprised, but continued: "I see! It's just that the life of the Wang family is not easy now, and it's not a good time for the little brother to go now!"
"What's going on?" Wu Feng asked.
"It's not because of the battle for mines. The middle-aged uncle shook his head and said: "The Black Mountain Mining Area is a huge group of mines, and some independent mines have been divided by the six major forces, but some connected mines have always been in dispute. Among them, the black mountain copper mining area is the most precious mineral, and the copper mine is the most precious mineral in the black mountain mining area. ”
"This copper mining area does not occupy a share except for the city lord's mansion, and the other five potential forces occupy the same share, and the original five potential forces each open the mine from one direction, but the mine excavation is naturally impossible to go straight according to the change of the mountain situation. As a result, the mine roads of the five major forces met, and the first big melee broke out, which happened more than ten years ago, that is, after that war, the five major forces were divided into two camps. ”
"Because the Wang family has always had a good reputation, and the miners rarely rebelled, the Wang family was the most powerful of the five powerful forces more than ten years ago. But when there is a battle, there will always be deaths, and after the five major forces have suffered heavy casualties, they have to declare an armistice. ”
"After the armistice, the five major forces negotiated, and the copper mining area was jointly operated by the five powers, and every three years the descendants faced off to distribute the proportion of the next three years. But after the war, the hatred between the two camps was concluded, and they no longer thought about annexing each other all the time, and the duel between the children of the next generation was almost a duel of life and death, and the losing side was either dead or disabled."
"When I left Montenegro City, the five families were preparing for a new competition, this should be the fourth, calculate the time, and now there are only a few days left before the start. It is said that the Wang family has no descendants who have played this year."
"What is the standard for the children of this later life?" Wu Feng asked with a frown, hearing that the Wang family was so late, he was also very uncomfortable, and secretly thought to himself: "Although the Wang family and the Wu family have severed contact, after all, it is because of the death of my mother, which also shows that the head of the Wang family, that is, my maternal grandfather, attaches great importance to my mother, how can I stand by and watch the situation of the Wang family?"
"It seems to be a child under the age of twenty-five. The middle-aged uncle said with some uncertainty.
"Under twenty-five years old, in this Black Mountain City, I should have no opponent. Wu Feng thought in his heart, and already had his own thoughts, so he didn't ask the middle-aged uncle again. After all, the middle-aged uncle was only at the fourth level of the Initial Martial Realm, and if he asked him about the number and cultivation of the true martial arts masters in the five major potentials, he might not know the Dao.
Don't look at what he told Wu Feng before, but those are all things that float on the surface, and they don't involve any secrets, and the middle-aged uncle is a native of Black Mountain City, so he may naturally know the way.
There was nothing to do on the boat, Wu Feng was still chatting with the middle-aged uncle, and the other party was indeed talkative, often as long as Wu Feng asked a little talk, he would tell Wu Feng a lot of relevant information.
Later, after being introduced, Wu Feng learned that this middle-aged uncle was originally a street trader, and he relied on one mouth to make a living
Wu Feng was also curious about whether there was a relatively large mercenary group in Black Mountain City, but he learned from the middle-aged uncle that there was no mercenary group in Black Mountain City, and most of the low-level martial artists were miners with six powerful forces.
Of course, in Montenegro, there are still some small forces in business. These forces are either negligible or open by foreign influences, and will not be involved in local disputes
