Chapter 81: Plan ahead and make decisions before taking action (please vote for me)
“So fast?”
Even if you have some guesses.
But when I actually heard the news from him.
Chen Yulou could not hide his surprise.
I thought it would take at least four or five days.
After all, even if he is a layman, he knows that earthly fire is hard to find.
Otherwise, the Chen family would not have built an Earth Dragon Fire Cave for so many years in Xiangyin.
But Li Shuguo left, and it only took two days for Li Shuguo to show up. Not only did he find the ground fire, it turned out to be a hundred-foot fire cave.
As expected of the master of Honeycomb Mountain.
There are indeed some means.
"Have the brothers who went to Hanyang come back?"
After pondering for a while, Chen Yulou put away his distracting thoughts and asked instead.
“No news yet.”
“It should be soon.”
They set off one day earlier than Li Shuguo.
Xiangyin and Hanyang are not far apart, and you can directly reach Jiangcheng by taking a boat from the Xiangshui River, passing through Dongting and entering the Yangtze River.
"In this case, you go down the mountain first, tell Uncle Yu, and ask him to arrange for some brothers to go there first with the steel furnace and other materials."
"Yes, from the shopkeeper."
The guy who came to report the news was also an old man from the Chen family.
Orders received.
Without any hesitation, he got on his horse and rushed to Chenjiazhuang down the mountain.
Until the sound of horse hooves faded away.
Chen Yulou let out a long sigh of relief.
Standing in front of the cliff, looking far into the distance, the sky and the earth are filled with night fog, only the fire in Chenjiazhuang.
"Wait until the sword comes out of the furnace."
"It's almost time to set off."
"Calculating it this way, there isn't much time."
My eyes flickered and I murmured in a low voice. murmured.
“Zhelong Mountain is extraordinary and we must prepare early. In addition, the mausoleum genealogy and paper armor technique cannot be delayed.”
Several thoughts came to his mind.
Although he had just drank countless drinks, it did not affect Chen Yulou's thoughts at all, and he was even more sober than usual.
Think of this.
He already had the idea of going down the mountain.
Turn around and look back.
Kunlun seemed to have expected something. He sat on the stone steps outside the building and looked over from a distance with calm eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou couldn't help but smile flashing in his eyes.
There are many people in this world who live in confusion all their lives.
Those like him are in the minority.
Him after enlightenment.
It's really like being completely reborn.
"Shopkeeper, are you going down the mountain?"
When he approached from a distance, Kunlun had already stood up and asked with a smile.
Only when he and Miss Hong are together.
Only in this way can we see the shadow of the past in Kunlun, otherwise it would be difficult to imagine that he is the same person.
"Well, back to the village."
Chen Yulou nodded.
Looking at the figure still sleeping in the building, he suddenly stopped again and pointed to the long corridor beside him.
Kunlun understood immediately.
The two of them were leaning on the fence, with the mountain breeze blowing in their faces. Except for the chirping of insects and birds and the occasional unknown roar of beasts from far away, the world was lonely and deserted.
"Do you have any plans for the future?"
"Plans?"
Kunlun was startled, then shook his head repeatedly.
Even though he has awakened, he has only one wish in his life, and that is to stay with the shopkeeper.
The kindness of a drop of water must be repaid by a spring.
He was worried that he would not be able to repay such a great favor.
“You really don’t have any other ideas?”
“Such as marrying a wife, starting a family or something?”
Chen Yulou couldn’t help but joke.
Who would have known that Kunlun actually smiled at him just after he finished speaking.
Although no words were spoken, the subtext was self-evident.
"You kid, you dare to tease me as the shopkeeper now, right?"
Tell the truth.
A few people around him.
The kidnapper is the least of his worries.
Even the red girl is the same.
Only Kunlun, although now enlightened, his character is still too pure after all.
In this world, only disasters can last long.
Seeing the shopkeeper's smile, he also laughed, but from the corner of his eye, he unconsciously looked into Changsheng Tower.
It seems that the figure in the red dress can still be faintly seen.
Hong Gu has been on the mountain for so many years.
Even he could see that her thoughts were all on the shopkeeper.
Why can’t the shopkeeper see it?
He really doesn’t understand.
“Let’s go, wake up Hong Gu, I’ll catch a cold later.”
How could Chen Yulou not notice Kunlun's movements? He patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Oh..."
The latter nodded.
Think no more.
However, when the two of them entered the building, Miss Hong had already woken up, but Yuan Hong and Zhang Yunqiao were drunk and unconscious.
Ask someone to send Zhang Yunqiao back to his residence.
In a blink of an eye.
Only Yuan Hong was still lying down.
“Forget it, since he fell asleep, let him stay on the mountain.”
Chen Yulou smiled deliberately.
Miss Hong followed the words and said, "Just in time, I can take him to Shili Yangchang overnight."
"No..."
Yuan Hong was still drowsy.
In an instant, he felt as if his hair had exploded. He bounced up from the chair, his head almost shook like a rattle, and there was a rare trace of panic and fear in his eyes.
“Not staying?”
Chen Yulou pretended not to know.
This guy just sees that life in the mountains is comfortable, but there are too many rules in Zhuangzi, and his hands are tied.
Thinking of taking the opportunity to stay.
"I have to go to school tomorrow, how can I stay."
Yuan Hong immediately waved his hand and said righteously.
If I didn't know its character, I might have been deceived by it.
“Yeah, I didn’t realize it, but he’s quite studious.”
Chen Yulou curled his lips.
After signaling to Kunlun, he understood immediately and strode out of the building.
Although Yuan Hong was groggy, his eyesight was still there, and he was really worried that Miss Hong had betrayed him, so he immediately followed her.
Watch them go ahead to lead the horses.
After disappearing outside the village.
Chen Yulou just turned around and looked at the red girl standing under the light.
At this moment, because she had just sobered up, there was still a bit of blush on her face, her neck was slightly raised, her lips were not red, and her eyes were as lazy as a cat. Don't know why.
See this scene.
A picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
In the bustling Shanghai, the red girl wearing a cheongsam stepped out of the car and entered the venue, and became the focus of everyone's attention.
If there hadn’t been that fire.
Even if she is not like that, she should still be able to be a eldest lady.
Instead of living alone in a bandit's den.
“Remember to practice morning and evening.”
I noticed the change in color in the red girl’s eyes.
Chen Yulou hesitated.
Just smiled gently, then turned and left.
"Besides, girls should drink less alcohol at home."
Until he disappeared outside the door.
Girl Hong, who had just come back to her senses, could not help but feel a trace of shame and annoyance in her eyes.
Then in the direction he left.
I recited something silently.
"I want you to take care of..."
Chen Yulou, who had already gone out, naturally couldn't hear her words.
Outside the village, Kunlun and Yuan Hong returned with their horses and were waiting outside the martial arts arena.
See him appear.
Kunlun couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Yuan Hong on the side didn't know what was going on. At the moment, it just wanted to leave as soon as possible. It was okay to visit this place once in a while, but the red girl was too scary.
“Let’s go.”
Taking the reins, Chen Yulou jumped onto the horse.
The dragon horse beneath him is well versed in human nature, and he has already raised his horse's hooves and rushed down the mountain without him having to say hello.
Seeing this, Kunlun and Yuan Hong did not dare to delay.
Two people and one monkey walked through the mountain roads and headed straight for Chenjiazhuang in the fertile fields outside Qingshan.
Wait until they appear outside the gate.
Uncle Yu moves very fast.
Arrangements have been made.
Several carriages and more than a dozen men are ready to go.
Chen Yulou took a look and saw that in addition to the steel-making furnace, he also brought food, tents, pots and pans, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
Although it is about refining weapons.
For the time being, only he and Li Shuguo know.
But Uncle Yu is indeed a mature man, and he noticed the clues from just a few words.
Every aspect is considered extremely thoughtful.
"When you get to the place, help me bring a message to Shopkeeper Li."
"Just tell me that the secret gold and other materials will be delivered in the next two days. If you need anything later, just ask."
"And... don't be in a hurry."
The team is about to set off and travel through the night.
Chen Yulou thought for a while and reminded him again.
The guy in charge of the itinerary immediately nodded and agreed.
“Let’s go!”
With a soft cry.
No longer wasting time, everyone set up their carriage and headed straight for Shijun Mountain.
Wait for the group of people to disappear at the end of the dirt road outside the village.
Chen Yulou signaled Kunlun to take Yuan Hong back first.
He and Uncle Yu, one old and one young, strolled towards the village.
"Uncle Ming, has there been any movement in the past two days?"
After drinking at Guanyun Tower early yesterday morning.
Chen Yulou has never met him.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of it and asked casually.
“It’s almost the same as usual. Except for the elementary school classes in the morning, the rest of the time is either working in the fields or staying at home with my wife and daughter.”
Uncle Yu seems to be interested in everyone in the village. Can be grasped clearly.
“He is a smart man.”
This answer was expected.
Even if he couldn't remember everything about the wrong words he said during the banquet afterwards, he would still have some impression after he sobered up.
But Zhou Mingyue did not leave.
But just pretend that nothing happened and continue living in Zhuangzi.
From this we can see his character.
Because he knew that he couldn't leave.
Moreover, he was actually betting that Chen Yulou didn't know the origin of Yin Yang Duangong.
“He is indeed a person who does things.”
Uncle Yu raised his eyebrows.
To be honest, if it weren't for Zhou Mingyue's identity, he could easily be the accountant with his abilities.
It’s a pity for people who have too many things on their backs.
He didn't dare to use it.
When working in the Chen family, the most important thing is to have a clean origin.
"By the way, Uncle Yu, send two trustworthy guys out to help me find a place."
"It's called Tongtian Ridge, Feixian Village."
"Remember, it must be done in secret, and the law will not be spread to the ears."
Secretly writing down the names of these two places, Uncle Yu bowed slightly and said, "Yes, young master, I will find someone to do it in the next two days."
Chen Yulou didn't dare to believe Zhou Mingyue.
Tongtian Ridge also involves the red beard tree. He must make plans in advance.
"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first and I'll have a rest early."
Unknowingly.
The two of them had already walked outside Guanyun Tower.
Chen Yulou glanced at him and saw Uncle Yu shaking his head. Without saying much, he climbed up the steps and pushed the door open.
But he did not go to the residence upstairs.
Instead, he headed straight to the basement.
The news that Li Shuguo had found the ground fire undoubtedly made him let go of a major matter in his mind.
Once the weapon is forged.
This means he has one more trump card.
However.
The appointed time is getting closer and closer.
He also felt a little oppressive in his heart.
Walking through the light and shadow, he pulled out a chair and sat down.
I opened the drawer again, found a roll of white paper, pondered for a moment, picked up my pen and started writing urgently.
Not long after.
There are already lines of writing on the paper.
Looking down, you can still faintly see words such as Mountain Temple, Gourd Cave, Lingyun Palace, and King Xian Coffin.
That's right.
Plan before taking action.
Even though as a time traveler, Chen Yulou has the ability to foresee things, but Chen Yulou always likes to eliminate all dangers before fighting.
Beyond that.
In his clear eyes.
It also seems to reflect the words green-scaled python, ferocious human figurine, poisonous miasma, dead drift, and mantis and worm.
“What can be seen is simple.”
“The main danger is the invisible danger.”
