Chapter 69: Over the Mountain
Jia Yu glanced at Wang Yuanfeng's face as usual, it was estimated that this news was not good news, but when he thought about it, it might be related to the Hou Ye's army, but at this time, he couldn't, he would know sooner or later, so he said to Jia Changfa.
"Tell me, what the hell is the news. ”
Jia Changfa gritted his teeth and said.
"Now we have lost all contact with Hou Ye, all the carrier pigeons that provided news for Hou Ye flew back, the letter box was intact, and sent people to investigate, and found that there were countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals waiting on the military ship, but no trace of the army was found. Our people did not dare to come any closer. ”
Wang Yuanfeng sighed after hearing this, the whole army must be annihilated, there must be a little noise, as long as there is a battle, there must be the smell of fireworks, especially the smell of blood, which will drift far away, but there is no movement at all.
Will he be killed by all the gods unknowingly? Wang Yuanfeng felt that it was impossible, but he was still a little worried, it was not impossible to kill an army, and he also recorded several copies in the "Secret Record of Waidan" that he gave to his younger brother Wang Yuanqing, this Dongting Lake Dragon King has been a god for many years, who knows if he has such a strange method. But how to wait until he passed before continuing to investigate, now he just prayed that his father was okay, so he said to Jia Yu.
"I want to cross through this knife and axe mountain, and I heard that there are many insects and snakes on the yin side, and there are many tigers and leopards on the yang side, but what the specific situation is, I hope the shopkeeper will tell me. ”
Jia Yu originally wanted Wang Yuanfeng to enter the city to rest temporarily, but at this time, the movements of Wu'anhou's army were unknown, and he didn't know his life and death.
"Back to the fourth son, the north and south of the knife and axe mountain are not easy to walk, close to this Yinhua County is yin, close to Yanghua County is yang, there are many insects and snakes in the north, but as long as you don't get close, it's fine, and there are few insect and snake bite incidents. But ......"
Jia Yu thought about the situation on Yanghua's side and said.
"In the past, there were many tigers and leopards on the side of the knife and axe mountain, and there was a fire-breathing tiger in the mountain to dominate the king, but it all changed half a year ago, and there was news that there was a news that I heard the miserable roar of the tiger, and then there were few fierce beasts in the mountain, and many herbivores, sometimes they could run out of the mountain, and they were caught directly, and the fragrant roe deer also ran from the south of the mountain. ”
Wang Yuanfeng listened, always felt that there was something big in the south, although this belongs to the habitat of the human race, but the monsters are endless, as long as the starry sky shines, the imperial power is not popular, it will become a demon, such as today's chaos, Wang Yuanfeng guessed that there may be other animals that have become demons, and killed or driven out the fire-breathing tiger, so he said.
"Then I won't stay here, let's go now, and the trouble shopkeeper will continue to convey the news to the front, I need the news of my father's army. ”
"Yes, Fourth Son. Jia Yu agreed, thought about it for a while, and then said.
"The fourth prince needs insect repellent snake medicine?"
When Wang Yuanfeng heard this, he felt that the shopkeeper was also very thoughtful, but as long as he had a sword on his body, revealing a trace of sword energy, all insects and snakes would not dare to enter his body, and if a fierce insect approached, he would be killed with a sword. He nodded at Shopkeeper Yu and said.
"Thank you Yu shopkeeper, my son already has a way to protect himself. ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he also knew that although the fourth prince behaved strangely, his methods were peculiar, that is, some of the methods used by the business house were all proposed by this one, so he nodded and said to Wang Yuanfeng.
"That boy will take care all the way, report to the headquarters in the next meeting, and strengthen the exploration of the boundary of Nanzhou. ”
"Okay, there's Lao Yu's shopkeeper. After Wang Yuanfeng finished speaking, he walked in the direction of Sword and Axe Mountain under the eyes of the shopkeeper and apprentice, and when Wang Yuanfeng walked away, Shopkeeper Yu said to the apprentice next to him.
"Hurry back and inform the headquarters that the fourth prince has arrived at Sword and Axe Mountain and needs information from Nanzhou. ”
Apprentice Jia Changfa felt a little puzzled, so he asked.
"Isn't it just the news of the army led by Hou Ye? The trading house will not mobilize manpower to collect news in Nanzhou, will it agree?"
Jia Yu glanced at him, thinking that he had come over like this back then, and his thoughts were very simple, since he was an apprentice under him, he had the obligation to teach him, so he said.
"Do you know this son's status in the firm?"
I also know this thing, and it is something that must be learned at the beginning, first of all, I am familiar with the system and people, but this fourth son doesn't care about anything, and he never goes to a trading house, but how can such a big trading house revolve around him?
"This knows, it used to be the elder level, and now it is the core elder level. But ......"
Shopkeeper Yu looked at Jia Changfa, who was a little hesitant, and asked.
"Are you wondering if this fourth prince doesn't go to the business house and doesn't do things for the business house, but enjoys such a big benefit?"
Jia Changfa hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Jia Yu smiled and said.
"Although this fourth prince doesn't do anything, the role he can play is not comparable to ordinary people, he is the grandson of the head of the family, the fourth son of Wu'an Hou. ”
But Jia Changfa knew all of this, and he felt a little unconvinced, but he didn't say anything, looking disapproving.
I only heard Jia Yu continue to say.
"As long as we have this name, we can act through him in the name of Wu Anhou, and you must have heard of the development of the past ten years. ”
Jia Changfa can also be regarded as a smart person, this is a fact, the business can have today, and Wu Anhou's name can be indispensable. Just because the eldest lady of the Jia family married Wu Anhou and gave birth to three sons, she was also a little unconvinced, feeling that he was just a good fate.
Jia Yu also knows what he thinks, he thought so at the beginning, but he always complains, but with the development of the business house he has seen in the past few years, and now he has become the shopkeeper, with this name, even the county order has to be polite to himself, just because of the relationship between Wu Anyou. said to Jia Changfa.
"How can we do business, but without the escort of official people, can we have our current status?"
"No, you can't. Jia Changfa replied honestly.
Jia Yu asked again.
"Then do you know why our firm can achieve the world of wealth today?"
Jia Changfa thought for a moment and said with his own cognition.
"With integrity management, the insight to discover business opportunities, and a sound system. ”
Jia Yu didn't comment on anything, and then asked.
"You can see that without force and no one in the court as a backer, you can make such a big business?"
Jia Changfa thought for a while, there was no force and he was intercepted by halfway bandits, and those who did not have a backstage were bullied and couldn't raise their heads, and even were ruined, thinking of this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if there was really no Wu Anhou behind, the business of the firm would shrink by half, and it would even be difficult to move an inch in some places.
Therefore, Wu Anhou's own affairs are closely related to the firm, as long as the background is fine, even if the firm collapses, it can come back to life, if there is something in the background, even if the firm is alive, it will be made half dead.
Jia Yu looked at him as if he understood something, and said.
"There are two years of business for business, the bright side and the dark side, only honest management, the combination of government and business is the king. ”
After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Jia Changfa who was in thought, turned around and walked towards the county, the soldiers at the city gate greeted him, and Jia Yu politely greeted them.
In fact, some of them haven't told him yet, Wu Anhou's recent situation is not good, and the world has been plagued by disasters for several years in the past few years, and there are many people who can infer the development since then.
The powerful want to show their strength, and the weak think about how to preserve it, but who can take care of the common people.
At this time, force is more important, the fourth prince has excellent martial arts, according to the news that comes, it may be the realm of human immortals, and it is related to the head of the family, so it has to be taken seriously.
If there is anything to do in the future, it is impossible for this son to ignore it, not to mention the recent mobilization of shopkeeper apprentices from near Tianzhu Mountain, which is also said to be related to this, otherwise he is still an apprentice, not a shopkeeper, although he is a substitute shopkeeper.
......
After Wang Yuanfeng left Yinhua County, he was worried about the affairs of Nanzhou, so his pace was relatively fast, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the army of 10,000 was not so easy to be destroyed, maybe he went to another place, but he didn't see his father, and he couldn't settle down.
I decided to go to the mouth of Dongting Lake first, maybe I could find any clues.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace, and after a while he reached the foot of the mountain, and looked at this so-called knife and axe mountain, which was full of strange rocks, the road was steep, and the stones were overgrown with thorns and low shrubs.
As soon as you get closer, you can feel a trace of coolness through the bones, because the mountain faces the shade side, so basically the sun is not seen all year round, and this mountain seems to be directly split in half with a sharp weapon, half is in the south of the mountain, half is in the north of the mountain, the two sides are separated by less than 30 zhang, and the crack goes straight to the bottom of the mountain.
Legend has it that the ancient environment is harsh, perennial lightning and thunder, Nanzhou is a mountain, connected to the sea, this mountain lives a big demon, at that time the human race all sides of the heroes and heroes, heroes emerge in endlessly, the human race for the convenience of attacking the north and south, but there is this mountain blocking the road, by the Xiyue Emperor to use an axe light to chop this demon to death, and then even this mountain is also separated from the middle.
Later, in order to facilitate walking, an iron-locked bridge was erected on the crack of this mountain to connect the north and south.
I originally planned to take a detour, but when I heard that the Pingnan army was missing, I felt Nan'an, so I wanted to pass this bridge and go directly to Yanghua County, Shannan.
Although I have also heard that there are monsters entrenched in this mountain, as long as I hide myself and do not come into direct contact with the demons, I will be fine.
Wang Yuanfeng was about to start up the mountain, but he didn't take two steps, when suddenly the saber buzzed and trembled twice, his heart suddenly tightened, he felt that he was being targeted by something, his mind sank into the sword, he felt that this thing was hidden in the bushes in front of him, and he was malicious to himself.
Wang Yuanfeng stopped and shouted at the grass in front of him.
"Who's coming out!"
The bushes in front of it still looked a little deep and quiet, but they were quiet due to the heavy yin qi.
"Don't come out, do you?"
Wang Yuanfeng said secretly. Feisheng stepped forward and unsheathed his sword, and slammed it against the grass, and the sword qi flew into the grass to cut off the bushes from the roots.
Suddenly, a person jumped out of the grass, and Wang Yuanfeng didn't think about it, and it was a click to aim at the three inches under this person's ribs.
"Ahh
A scream sounded, and the figure flashed, and the person had flown away.
