After the conference, when everyone was leaving, everyone passing by was talking about the Shen family. Even when the Shen family father and son were talking to Tang Zhong at the door, many people took the initiative to say hello and have a small gathering for a drink.
The invitations are numerous.
To be honest, Shen Qing himself was quite surprised. It was understandable that the Liu family was so optimistic about him, but why was the Bai family...
Is it just because Bai Yuanzhen said, "You have heard of famous names for a long time"?
Don't make trouble. For people like Bai Yuanzhen, just relying on these to get him to be so low-key to win over is absolutely nonsense!
So Shen Qing couldn't guess why, and he didn't bother to keep guessing. Anyway, there will be more intersections in the future, so he just needs to get to know each other slowly.
"Bai Yuanzhen, Liu Changfeng, Old Man Tianhan... and a Master of Nine Treasures is missing. I can be considered as having gathered with the four great kings of Wanren."
After thinking about it, he shook his head and went to the iron ore field with his father and others.
Because it has not yet been mined, the environment of the iron ore field has not been destroyed. Although the scenery is not beautiful, it is by no means as bare and sweeping as imagined.
And judging from the buildings with relatively new materials, the Liu family must have already planned to recruit the Shen family. These houses were not built for a long time, but they were definitely built before Liu Hengfeng came to visit.
However, they probably didn't expect that the Shen family would be able to bring people from Xici City over, so although the garden was quite impressive, the wing rooms were obviously not enough.
It doesn't matter, since the Kuangsha Gang is about to be conquered anyway, most of the people will be taken away, and the rest will just build houses at home...
Regarding the Kuangsha Gang, the three of them discussed it immediately after they came back. After all, it was better to attack people on their doorsteps. They must not be blindly arrogant just because they heard that they were weak.
There is really nothing to gain from just discussing it. According to all the information, the Kuangsha Gang is weak, so weak that Shen Qing even doubts that he can do it himself...
This is definitely not arrogance!
The latest information just sent by the Liu family shows that the Kuangsha Gang doesn't know what happened, and there are currently less than twenty gang members left. Even the bandit who was just promoted to Tianguang Realm suddenly lost his temper without knowing why.
The newly appointed bandit leader is only in the late Danhe period.
For those who want to fight bandits, this is undoubtedly a good thing. But for houses, well... some brothers are afraid that they will have to build floors.
"Father, Uncle Tang, if you want me to see this, leave it to me. I'll pick a few of my peers to go over and take it as a test."
Shen Qing said while stuffing snacks into his mouth.
Shen Yuan and Tang Zhong had no objections, but they still told them to be more careful.
The plan has been decided, Shen Qing selects people, and Shen Fei will definitely take him. This guy has made rapid progress in recent times, and it is the stage that requires a lot of practical experience. As for the other people, there are Xici City and Shen family, all in total.
Exactly ten.
As the expedition was about to begin, Shen Qing decided to take everyone to relax first. Of course, in fact, he also had his own selfish motives. Wanren Mountain was so prosperous, but the previous few times he came here, he was busy with affairs. Now he finally had a moment of leisure.
If you don’t take a stroll, you’d be sorry for your young status.
So the ten teenagers walked out of the garden "shoulder to shoulder" and went straight to the most prosperous Wanren Market in Wanren Mountain.
Wanren Market is called a market, but it is actually many times larger than the entire commercial area of Qinglu Road. It is filled with industries, and everything is available for food, drink, and entertainment.
As a young man, when he had enough fun watching the Cuju horse racing and grasshopper fighting, he naturally went to imitate his elders in drinking and chatting happily. Shen Qing and others found a clean wine shop to sit down and have a good time eating wine and chatting.
In fact, the main reason why I am so happy is that I have not relaxed for a long time. Looking back at the past, things have happened one after another, and the accumulated fatigue in my heart is like a mountain. Now this mountain suddenly lifts from my body. That kind of relaxation, It's really beyond words.
When she was happy, she drank more, and everyone was laughing and joking. Shen Qing was a little confused when the bottom of the bottle was already over ten.
He is not the most generous among these people when it comes to drinking, but no one can take the penultimate throne.
As the saying goes, drinking hurts the mind, and in a daze, an inexplicable sadness comes to my mind.
Shen Qing was sitting by the window on the second floor of the wine shop. Through the window, he saw the setting sun at dusk, spreading golden colors all over the sky, as if the entire market had been plated with a layer of gold.
On the street outside, there was a lot of traffic and people coming and going, noisy but inexplicably peaceful.
In this situation, if Yu Yao was by my side, would it look more peaceful...
"What's wrong? Are you thinking about Yu Yao again?" Shen Fei blushed so hard that he couldn't speak clearly. Yes, he was the first one.
"Just die." Shen Qing pushed his big face away, raised his wine glass and clashed with everyone.
He seemed to be smiling happily, but in fact, only he knew the bitterness caused by pretending to be free and easy.
Yu Yao, where are you and why did you leave without saying goodbye...
The heavy drinking lasted until midnight, and Shen Qing was so preoccupied that she was so drunk. Shen Qing was already a little confused when she came home. When she saw a little girl passing by, she called Yu Yao, which really made the juniors who were traveling with her pick her up. happy.
But they were laughing, and Shen Qing's heart was about to weep. When he was not drunk, he always thought that he was really free and easy. He was even more sure that he and Yu Yao had a good heart, and Yu Yao must still be alive.
Since he left without saying goodbye, he must have had his own plan, and letting her go was the best choice for both parties. Because he believed that lovers will eventually get married, and sooner or later, the two of them will meet again in a certain alley.
This was what he had always thought.
But it was only when he was drunk that he realized that the so-called freedom and ease were simply a matter of deep helplessness and incompetence!
She must still be alive, otherwise she would be in pain.
But, where is she? Where does she live in this boundless world?
Is she okay? When looking at the full moon today, will she also feel sad that she is also thinking about herself?
"well!"
All his worries turned into a long sigh. There were too many things that did not allow him to leave to look for Yu Yao, and since it was Yu Yao who left on his own initiative, even if he looked for it, he would not be able to find her...
What is the reason?
Frustrated and disappointed, Shen Qing fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up again, the sky was already bright and the morning light was beginning to shine through. A new day and new things were waiting for him to solve.
After washing her face vigorously several times, Shen Qing cheered up and walked out of the house. It was inevitable to be hurt by love, but a good man must not waste time!
Arriving at the training ground in Xinyuan Garden, Shen Fei and others had already assembled. Shen Qing raised his arms and shouted, the horses whinnied, and ten horses rushed towards Fengsha Mountain!
...
Fengsha Mountain is located to the north of Wanren Mountain, not very close, about 500 miles away.
Because the others did not have air-defying weapons, Shen Qing naturally would not go on his own from a high position. Everyone galloped on horseback and blocked the target location in about three days.
Looking ahead, there is nothing but barren land, and there are not many sand mountains standing in the sand and fog, blurry and looming.
"What kind of broken land is this? Does the Kuangsha Gang like to swallow sand and eat dirt by using this as their base?"
"If you are sane, you will definitely not choose a place like this, so there must be something special here. Please be careful."
Shen Qing reminded him sternly, immediately abandoned his horse and his weapons, and rose to high altitude to find a way for everyone.
Things were not as complicated as he imagined. It could be seen that there must be a sandstorm running rampant in this place, but he was lucky enough not to encounter it this time. About a quarter of an hour after he landed at Kuangshabang Mountain Gate, Shen Fei and others were also safe. 's followed.
The next step is to attack. Judging from the fact that no one is guarding the mountain gate, we know that the information given by the Liu family should be correct. This bandit stronghold is almost empty.
Shen Qing drew his sword and took the lead in ascending the khaki steps.
The wind and sand filled the eyes, and everyone followed him up.
Not long after, they arrived at the main hall of the bandit village. As expected, there were only a dozen people inside. They were discussing something around a large table. They were so focused and intense that they didn't even notice them approaching.
Bang bang bang.
Shen Qing knocked on the wooden door frame with the hilt of his sword.
In the hall, all the gangsters suddenly turned their heads, and after a moment of reaction, they all raised their swords.
But the newly appointed bandit king didn't mention it. He just stared at Shen Qing with wide eyes, and after a long time he shouted: "It's you?!"
Shen Qing was stunned, did this guy recognize him?
"You, you, you, you are responsible for your grievances, and our boss's affairs have nothing to do with us!"
"What do you mean it's a mess?" Shen Qing replied with a frown.
"Aren't you the one from the Han family order?!" The bandit king was obviously a little surprised. It must be that he finally realized that what he was thinking was different from what Shen Qing was thinking.
What he was thinking was that the boss was invited by Hu Changxin to work for the Shen family, and as a result, he laid a foundation for the crime. Now that the Shen family is still alive, he will naturally come to take revenge.
It turned out that, by coincidence, the former boss of the Kuangsha Gang was one of the four bandit kings who appeared with Hu Changxin at the Shen family that day!
But how could Shen Qing know this? He came here just to complete the goal of the Wanren Alliance...
The bandits were still willing to fight, but after learning that this person was Shen Qing, they couldn't raise their fighting spirit at all, so they didn't fight and surrendered so suddenly.
Bandits are bandits and they do all kinds of evil. Shen Qing will never spare their lives just because they are afraid of him. Except for the current boss, he kills all the others and burns down the Kuangsha Gang's stronghold.
Of course there was a reason for keeping the bandit king, and he had to ask a few questions.
First of all, how could this little village dare to go to Shen's house with Hu Changxin when it was almost impossible for him to survive?
The answer is very simple. It is precisely because he can no longer survive that he has to curry favor with powerful people. Therefore, Hu Changxin posted a green forest post, and the original boss rushed over to help.
Secondly, since Hu Changxin's Green Forest Post can be sent here, it means that the original bandit king of the Kuangsha Gang and Hu Changxin have some friendship, so does he also have some information about the Tianlang Gang?
The answer is very simple, I have mastered it, I have mastered the old nose, I will save the little one from death, I will tell all the little ones!
Shen Qing smiled, he was not busy at all, just take him back and question him slowly.
The next third question is purely out of his own curiosity. What on earth were they arguing about with their blushing faces and thick necks just now? In addition, the original bandit kings knew how to curry favor with the powerful, and their brains must be fine, so why did they want to take the village? Why build it in a place where no one lives?
It stands to reason that this question should be easier to answer than the previous one, because the previous two questions involve the Tianlang Gang, and this question is just Shen Qing's pure curiosity, and will never involve other troubles for this trustworthy bandit king.
Therefore, Shen Qing expected that the other party's answer would be extremely happy.
However, this was not the case. The guy hesitated for a moment, and then the answer he gave was obviously made up!
Shen Qing frowned, it seemed that there was a lot of truth in this...
