After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 352 Wu Ze
He Lingchuan looked at his back and smiled: "He is really nice to me."

Zhao Guanshi was puzzled: "It's not bad?" The surname Dong has never shown his face or said anything good. Avoiding Mr. He is like hiding from the evil star and the god of plague. Is it not bad?
Mr. He's requirements for "good" are not very high.

"You don't understand." Dong Rui turned his face faster than he turned the book, and at this moment, he thought of running away instead of flirting with him, which shows that Dong Rui's hostility towards him has weakened.

This guy is alone, coming and going resolutely, which is very interesting.

He Lingchuan looked back to the northwest.

Half a month had passed since the Battle of Xiabei by the Hanshui River, and he thought of Xiazhou and the He family less and less often.

Although there are dangers in the devil's nest, he actually removed the shackles from his shoulders.The smell of rotting wood and mud in the swamp has been smelling for a long time, and it seems that I can get used to it.

Don't go against his heart, he actually doesn't want to go back.

Traveling alone, the sky is wide and the earth is wide, the most important thing is that there is no need to stage the scene of father and son's affection.

It's tiring to pretend.

Besides, he is not highly valued in the He family itself, how much impact will the presence or absence of the young master of the He family have on the battle situation in Xiazhou?

Of course, there is some cause and effect between Yuanshen and his father, but he has saved He Chunhua many times, so it is even.

I just don't know what happened to Shan Youjun, Jiao Tai and Houzi Lingguang. He also bought many properties in Dunyu.

He Lingchuan secretly thought it was a pity, but he still had to send a message back if he had the chance.

"Master He, what's the matter?"

"It's okay." He Lingchuan came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and felt that the breath was still a little sweet, "Let's go."

The caravan moved forward and entered the border of Fu Kingdom.

There is finally a road, and it will be much easier to walk in the future.

After leaving the Demon's Nest Swamp, the landform changed quickly. There are mountains and mountains lined up, nine winding water rings, and a very standard hilly landform.

Even the official roads are not as spacious and straight as those built in the south of Xiazhou.He Lingchuan found that there were many business travelers and civilians coming and going, but the post stations and hotels along the way were closed, and there was no food for thirty or forty miles.

Finally, they checked into the post station before dark and ate hot straw rice.

The local people wash miscellaneous rice, beans and peanuts, stuff them into straw bags and steam them, and supply them to the customers. The traffickers and pawns only eat this. Those who are more particular, such as He Lingchuan, Zhao Guanshi and others, will ask for some fat meat and mushrooms to be added to the rice. Put it in the drawer and steam it, it will be fragrant.

Of course the price is also expensive.

When He Lingchuan ate, he found that the meat was not fatty enough, but rather tender, and had a peculiar smell of mutton. "What kind of meat is this?"

The tripper happened to pass by, and he leaned over to take a look: "Oh, voles."

He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows. He stayed in the swamp for ten days and ate everything.Thinking about it, this post station has no village in front of it, no shop in the back, and there is no pen to raise pigs and cattle in the back. Where does the meat come from?
During the meal, Zhao Guanshi also explained that a few months ago, the emperor descended from the sky to ooze out, and filled the wild beasts in the mountains into monsters, hurting people everywhere.Many hotels were attacked and did not dare to open their doors for business, so it was a bit sluggish along the way.

The government is understaffed and weak, and it was not until half a month ago that someone was asked to clean up these raging monsters.

If this kind of thing happened in Panlong's Dreamland, it would take about two or three days to solve it; even if it was placed in Yuan Country, near Woling Pass where the official power is weak, it should be resolved in more than a month.

This shows how weak the national power of Fu State is.

This country is very small, less than one tenth of Yuan Country, and even smaller than Xiazhou managed by He Chunhua. From the map, the territory is as narrow and long as a knife, dominated by mountains and hills. It is a typical seven mountains, two waters and one field. That little land is not very fertile.

But it is also because of its lack of soil strength that it has nothing to ask for, and the huge mountainous area only produces some miscellaneous mines, so the surrounding countries can't find the motivation to invade it.After all, there is not much profit from occupying the land, and you have to send troops to manage the population and food, and you have to worry so much if you can't scrape the oil.

Looking at it this way, Fuguo's external environment is actually quite good.

By the way, Fu Kingdom is adjacent to the Demon Nest Swamp in the west, and borders the Demon Kingdom in the north to the northwest, but there are eight small countries in the east and northeast.

The size of these countries is about the same as that of Fu State, and the largest one is twice the size of it.Occasionally there are some frictions, but no one has the ability to swallow the neighbors, so basically a state of balance can be maintained.

For them, the northern demon country seems to be a little disdainful, too lazy to send troops to clean them up.

Not long after dawn, the caravan finally arrived in Wuze County where Gan's family is located.

This is also the busiest county town in Fuguo, built in a valley, the main street is actually paved with stone slabs, the market is prosperous, warehouses are everywhere, there are many restaurants and restaurants, and hawkers are often seen selling smuggled goods from abroad.

In addition to the crowded and low bungalows, He Lingchuan also saw many big houses occupying one side alone.

The size of this county can catch up with two or three ordinary cities.

He Lingchuan was curious about how the people of Fuguo lived, and they seemed to be doing well, breaking the stereotype that troublesome people come from poor mountains and rivers.

Zhao Guanshi said, moving trees to move dead people to live, since you can't rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water, then you have to go out.Fortunately, the country of Fu is connected to Bega in the west, eight countries in the east, and a large lake with a large area in the north, which can be regarded as an important hub for economic and trade exchanges.

In particular, the northern demon country has a preference for certain foreign specialties, and its demand alone can create a prosperous business route.

Therefore, Fuguo has merchants, and Wuze County is on the main traffic road connecting the east, west, and north, occupying a favorable location.After Mr. Gan made his fortune, he moved his whole family here, and his business became more and more prosperous.

The caravan went to the warehouse by itself, and Manager Zhao took He Lingchuan to Gan's house.

Rich people like to build big houses, and the Gan family is no exception. Its area is larger than Shu Yuhe's house.The high wall directly in front belongs to the Gan family's big house, and He Lingchuan saw the continuous black roof, thinking that there are many buildings inside.

But the two of them got off their horses when they got here, and Manager Zhao actually led him into the alley behind.

He Lingchuan frowned, thinking that he was going to lead him through the back door of Gan's house - it was a bit impolite to treat a distinguished guest who came to the door for the first time.

Unexpectedly, Guanshi Zhao saw no one around, and suddenly turned around and bowed to him to the end:
"Mr. He, I spoke insincerely in the swamp earlier, and it was also for self-protection. Please don't worry about the large number of adults!"

"what's up?"

"Actually, the head of the Gan family is Mr. Gan. I said that the old lady of the Gan family can take care of things. That's...that's just an expedient word for Zhu Erniang." Manager Zhao smiled bitterly, "The old lady of the Gan family is the old lady of the Gan family. The master’s mother’s surname is Mao, and she lived in the countryside for the first half of her life, but in Wuze County for the past few years, she has never been to other places, and she has never had any experience in business.”

If he confessed everything in the swamp, the Spider Queen would be so angry that she would eat him?

He Lingchuan heard something bad: "What's the matter?"

Only then did Manager Zhao reveal the truth.It turns out that the Gan family was originally just ordinary townspeople, and it was only after Mr. Gan, a hard-working and daring head of the family, that they started to do business. Especially after they hooked up with the spider monster in the magic nest swamp, the life of the whole family was like sesame blossoms.

The trouble is that Mr. Gan is too capable, and he is in his prime, so the family can enjoy his achievements in peace.

When He Lingchuan heard this, he understood that the Gan family was like a reduced and simplified version of the Dunyu Li family.

"Then what did you promise me in the swamp on behalf of the Gan family?" He Lingchuan was not interested in other people's family affairs, "My identity and guidance?"

"Yes, I will. I will go to Gan's family to report a funeral first." Zhao Guanshi also scratched his head, "The Gan family must be crying loudly for a while, you go to the restaurant in front to rest for a while, and when the Gan family's mood calms down, I will I will introduce you."

He Lingchuan didn't object, after all, he didn't want to see the Gan family crying in front of him and shouting.

At that moment, Guanshi Zhao asked him to go to a nearby restaurant, and hurried to Gan's house after he confessed his crime.

He Lingchuan changed to the seat by the window by himself.It was secluded here, and he drank by himself, drinking for half the afternoon.

……

The Gan family caravan returned to Wuze County about half an hour later.

A boy slipped out from the back door of Gan's warehouse, turned around and walked through four alleys, looking around for no one to pay attention, before he entered the back door of a shop.

At the end of the day, people and horses are resting, and the dogs are not barking.

Someone was sleeping on a bamboo chair in the back hall, with a thick blanket over his body and a straw hat on his forehead to block the light.The boy leaned over and said softly, "Master, the Gan family has something to do."

Hearing the word "Gan's family", the man took off his hat and yawned, "What's the matter?"

The face is less than 40 years old, and the complexion is slightly dark.

"The Gan family's convoy has finally returned from the Demon's Nest Swamp. Boss Gan is dead."

The head of the family immediately woke up: "What are you talking about, Gan Qing is dead?"

"Who's dead?" Another person appeared from the back of the hall, whose appearance was very similar to that of the head.

"The second boss is back too?" The servant repeated, "I heard from the Gan family's caravan that Gan Qing was intercepted and killed outside the Demon's Nest Swamp, and a group of bandits pretended to be him and brought the caravan into the swamp."

"There is such a thing?" Both the head and the second head were amazed, "What are those bandits doing? Do they want to switch to business?"

The Demon's Nest Swamp is the stronghold of the ogre monsters. Except for the Gan family who can pass through, there are others who can't think of getting into it.

"No, no, this is very weird!" Even the boy who told the story went up, "These bandits were sent by the snake demon in the Demon's Nest Swamp, and they wanted to pretend to be the Gan family caravan and enter the Spider Queen's territory to steal baby."

What kind of magical plot is this? "Steal it?"

"No, it's a failure. The whole gang of bandits have been killed."

They both said: "As expected of the Spider Queen. Then the Gan's caravan can come back?" Few of the swamp trolls have a good temper.

"Going back, there are a lot of large carts, not only full of loads, but also bringing back an extra person." The boy continued to look through the information, "He is a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. According to the caravan staff, this boy can be free in the Spider Queen's lair. Even the bandits who stole the treasures in the devil’s nest were blocked by him and failed. After the Spider Queen fought against other monsters, she became angry and chased the boy for some reason, but after a while, the two sides reconciled. I gave this boy a lot of presents."

Erdangjia couldn't help interrupting: "Is this really a person?"
