And soon after everyone in the door dispersed, a man walked out and walked quickly in the direction of Meng Zhao and others.
"But the Fourth and Fifth Young Masters are here?"
Although the copper basins on the giant pillars on both sides of the market town gate are burning with dazzling flames, illuminating the surrounding area.
However, because Meng Zhao and others dismounted and stopped when they were still far away, visitors could not see clearly in the night. They could only vaguely see dark shadows connected together, like ghosts in the darkness.
Extraordinarily penetrating.
Meng Zhao's original indifferent expression immediately disappeared and turned into an expression of surprise. He handed the black-scaled horse to Lu Le on the side, took a few steps, stepped forward to greet him, and cupped his fists,
"But what's wrong with Mao?"
The two of them quickly came closer. What Meng Zhao saw was a man in his forties with two glossy black mustaches. He was thin and frail, but he had a cheerful temperament that made people feel good.
"You are the young one. I have long heard that the Fourth Young Master is wise, martial, and extremely talented. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary.
The Fifth Young Master is also as majestic as a god, and will surely be the pillar of our Meng family in the future."
This man is also very good at talking. He complimented Meng Zhao and Meng Chuan as soon as they met. He looked like a flattering villain, but his tone and demeanor made it hard for anyone to dislike him. No wonder he was able to thrive in this market town.
Starting.
Meng Chuan was also happy to see that he had not been left behind, and he looked even more pleasing to the eye.
Yunwu Mountain is a treasure. As the overlord of Nan'an County, the Meng family will naturally not ignore it. They have built a trading shop here early, and while purchasing various medicinal materials, ores, corpses of ferocious beasts and other mountain products from the mountain, they also sell goods to the mountain.
It is a very important stronghold for the Meng family to transport or sell at a high price.
This person had previously reported all the information at the foot of Yunwu Mountain to Meng Ji's group. Now that he has received the news, he came specifically to wait for Meng Zhao.
After a few people exchanged greetings, Manager Mao led Meng Zhao and his party into the door, and introduced relevant information to Meng Zhao, including which forces had settled in which locations in the town. In recent days, masters who need to be noted have been arriving one after another.
Wait.
Not long after, everyone followed Manager Mao to a three-door house, where hot water, a change of clothes, food and wine were prepared to wash away the fatigue of Meng Zhao and others who had been running all the way, and to restore their mental and physical strength.<
/p>
Manager Mao was sitting at a dining table with Meng Zhao, Meng Chuan, and Zhu Guangxi, who was wearing a human skin mask, and they were alone in an inner room, catching the wind and washing away the dust while discussing important matters.
Although Meng Zhao and Meng Chuan, two young masters of the Meng family, went out to work together on this trip, Manager Mao was very discerning and had amazing powers of observation. He had already seen that Meng Chuan was completely following Meng Zhao's lead, so he only asked him for advice. p>
"Fourth Young Master, not long ago I reported the changes in this town to the head of the family. I wonder if the head of the family sent the fourth son here to have any important instructions?"
Although he is highly regarded, in the final analysis, he is just a domestic slave of the Meng family. He can gather some information and be the eyes and ears at his limit. He can only follow the master's arrangements for any important things he wants to do. He cannot act on his own to avoid damaging the master of the family.
major events.
Otherwise, there is no need to send Meng Zhao and Meng Chuan over.
Meng Zhao had just taken a bath at this time, he was full of energy, his purple pupils were shining, he drank the bright red pulp in the cup and said,
"Yes, my uncle asked me to come over in advance to make arrangements. There are two main tasks.
First, find a safe path up the mountain that is unknown or little known to others.
The dragon lays eggs, which are related to the pure-blooded ferocious beast. It is very important. Our Meng family is bound to win.
But now there are too many forces involved in it. Experts, no one can tell whether there are any extremely vicious people in it. It can be said that it is a mixture of dragons and snakes.
The Meng family is powerful, so it does not mean that it cannot be suppressed forcefully, but it must also consider external influences and its own losses.
Therefore, it is best to avoid disputes and quietly take the dragon eggs down the mountain. This is a task that my uncle clearly assigned me.
I wonder if Manager Mao can teach me something?"
Manager Mao dressed simply, touched the mustache at the corner of his lips, and looked troubled.
"Fourth Young Master, please allow me to say that this matter is very difficult.
First of all, there are treasures everywhere in Yunwu Mountain. Countless warrior masters have been exploring the mountain one after another for a long time. Generally speaking, they have found three relatively safe ways to enter the mountain, which are known to everyone.
However, these three roads are basically used by people going up the mountain every day, and they are guarded by specialized people, who set up watchtowers, collect mountain entry fees, and at the same time prevent wild beasts and ferocious beasts in the mountain from breaking in.
If the owner of the house and the others walked past this place, they would definitely be discovered.
Secondly, if you want to explore a new way up the mountain, you need a large number of experts and a long preparation time, otherwise your life will be in vain.
Therefore, I cannot satisfy the requirements of the head of the family and the Fourth Young Master, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Meng Zhao was not surprised, it could even be said to be expected. If this person was doing everything he could, talking about being simple and trivial, he would have to suspect that the other person had ulterior motives and even wanted to play tricks on him.
The so-called safe road is what the predecessors and warriors have spent step by step and saved bit by bit with their time and flesh and blood. It will never be found by him so easily.
However, Meng Zhao could see that this manager was hesitant to speak, and solemnly said again,
"Is there no other way?
The uncle takes this matter very seriously. If we accomplish nothing and the uncle blames us, we cannot afford it."
Manager Mao grimaced, and after a long time he hesitated and said,
"Actually, it's not like there's nothing we can do.
I wonder if the Fourth Young Master knows that originally there were two major forces working side by side in this town, competing with and supporting each other?"
"Of course we know what the Gongsun family of Baicaotang and the Cao family, who are hunters, mean, what does Manager Mao mean?"
The stupid thief he met on the road told Meng Zhao a lot of information, so Gongsun and the Cao family would not be left behind.
Meng Zhao quickly thought that these two companies, which had been operating at the foot of Yunwu Mountain for so many years, most likely knew a new path that was different from the three mountain roads. This was an advantage in accumulation and management that outsiders could not match. p>
"What I mean is what the Fourth Young Master thinks, but the Gongsun family probably has little hope. They rarely go to the mountain. Most of their children mainly buy what others have got, and they stay away from Yunwu Mountain.
Only the Cao family got its start from the Yunwu Mountains. Over the years, the family members have been committed to going deep into the mountains to find more resources, so it is very possible to open up a new path.
If the Fourth Young Master is really helpless, he might start from the Cao family.
But I want to say something beforehand. The Cao family has always been tough and unwilling to suffer losses. If the Fourth Young Master wants to ask for help from the Cao family, he must be prepared."
Meng Zhao has the bottom line, let’s talk again,
"I will take care of this later.
The second task is that the uncle needs information about important forces and masters under the mountain in order to know himself and the enemy well.
It is best to summarize it in a volume and be more detailed.
I will send Lu Le to assist Manager Mao in this matter, and all the manpower will be deployed by Manager Mao and Lu Le. I hope to gain something as soon as possible."
This is what Manager Mao has been doing, but with limited manpower and limited energy, he cannot let go. At this time, he received the support of Meng Zhao and quickly responded,
"Don't worry, Fourth Young Master, I will handle this matter well and won't let the head of the family down."
Meng Chuan hesitated to speak, but after seeing Meng Zhao's stern eyes, he shut his mouth and dealt with the food on the table honestly.
