    Ye Yichen didn't wake up until daylight.  Although she did not show her face at Yong'an's banquet, it was actually even harder for her to bear the heavy responsibility of strategizing.  However, it was precisely because of her arrangement that the banquet looked so luxurious and grand, which opened the eyes of all parties in Yong'an.  No matter how prominent the Du family was in the court, now they are just a local power in a corner. For arranging such a large banquet, they will definitely not be more authoritative than Ye Yichen.  Children of the Tian family, especially women, have been trained in preparations for rituals, ceremonies, banquets, etc. since childhood. This kind of royal-level training is not something that local powerful families can afford.  After all, Ye Yichen is not the princess she used to be, with clothes in hand and food in hand, mouth open. Without Wan'er by her side, she has to take care of all the daily life by herself.  These days, Long Nan has arranged two new maids for her at Black Mountain Castle, one is eleven years old and the other is fifteen. Although they have received some training, whether it is eyesight or work, the distance can not match Ye Yichen's habits.  If we cooperate properly, we are still thousands of miles away.  Ye Yichen sometimes finds it funny. If she had such a stupid maid around her in the past, she would have gotten angry several times a day and would have kicked her away without even giving her a chance.  Now, she teaches them how to do things kindly and kindly.  Eleven-year-old Lian Qing has been standing guard at Ye Yichen's door since the morning, holding a book and reading while focusing on the water boiling on the small stove next to her.  When it cools down, pour it out and add a new pot to continue boiling.  It's not a big deal to waste some firewood, but if the hostess wakes up without hot water to wash her face, it will be her fault.  Before Lian Qing came to Black Mountain Castle, she followed a female Taoist priest.  With an adventure team came to Yong'an.  However, they were not very lucky. They were attacked by monsters as soon as they entered the mountain, and the female Taoist priest died.  No one in the team was willing to take care of the girl, so they sent someone to send Lian Qing out.  I want to find a place to settle.  Unexpectedly, the man who sent people out slipped and fell down the cliff while looking for water.  Lian Qing, a little girl under ten years old at the time, spent a whole night in the mountains in fear before she was discovered by members of the Black Wind Village who were patrolling the mountain and took her back.  Lian Qing has a beautiful face and was taught literacy and arithmetic by a female Taoist priest since she was a child.  She was smart and smart, so Jin Ge took her down to keep her company for Long Nan.  Although Long Nan is younger than Lian Qing, she takes care of this little sister everywhere.  Speaking of which, Long Nan was reluctant to recommend Lian Qing to Ye Yichen.  Things are going on in Black Mountain Castle now.  Having one more person who can write and count is a big help.  However, after all, Ye Yichen also needed help around him who could write and do calculations. Moreover, Lian Qing's temperament was too timid and was not suitable for assigning work on her own. This made Long Nan make up her mind.  "Miss, are you up?" I heard a rustling sound in the room.  Lian Qing quickly opened the door a little, poked her head in and asked.  "Well, I'm up. Get ready to wash up." "Okay, miss." Lian Qing said hello to Yanhong, the maid who was watering the flowers on the other side of the yard, and asked her to prepare breakfast before running to the side.  Go to the room and get the basin sweat towel.  Ye Yichen sighed, but couldn't help but laugh.  Lian Qing's opening the door and sticking her head out was not very polite.  If there were many people coming and going outside, wouldn't her disheveled appearance in the room be noticeable to others?  The courtyard in Yong'an is only a small courtyard for them, and there is no room for screens.  Fortunately, no one else can easily enter this small courtyard.  Everything is taken care of by their master and servant.  While waiting for Ye Yichen to wash up, Lian Qing looked at Ye Yichen with admiration and wanted to ask but didn't dare.  Yan Hong couldn't stand it anymore and asked: "Miss, after yesterday's big banquet, can Black Mountain Castle really start a business?" Ye Yichen smiled slightly and said: "Everyone hopes that we can do it. However, now we only explain  "Heishanbao is determined to do this, but others don't think we can do it. More importantly, we have to make others think that we are the only one who can do this." Ye Yichen has a smart mind and a good understanding of all kinds of people.  Toru, this was also the basis for her planning strategy when she traveled to various countries on the Royal Wind.  She knew that neither of the two maids wanted to be associated with the word bandit anymore, but for the time being, I'm afraid it would be useless to say more.  "Do you want to do business with us and make a lot of money by hunting in the mountains?" Lian Qing asked in a low voice.  "That's right. It depends on how Chengbang handles this matter." Lian Qing asked the question well, and Ye Yichen responded with a smile.  Speaking of Chengbang, Ye Yichen quickly asked: "What is Chengbang doing? Are you up?" "You are up. The young master didn't drink much yesterday. He still woke up as usual in the morning. He is in the front yard."  Yan Hong said: "Miss, do you want to call the young master over?" "No, I'll go over and take a look after I finish eating." Ye Yichen said.  A moment later, what Ye Yichen saw was?She felt a little headache.  It was as if the veins on his forehead were beating again.  Chengbang got up very early indeed. He had finished his regular morning exercises and was playing with Dabai and Xiaobai.  He was dressed in coarse cloth and the simplest leather armor.  This kind of simple leather armor is soft in texture and is mostly made from scraps of the skins of hunted monster beasts. Its only function is to pad the body, especially the joints, to prevent the clothes inside from wearing out.  At this time, Chengbang was fighting with Dabai in his unattractive attire.  One person and one tiger rolled to the ground, and Dabai slapped Cheng Bang on the face with his paw.  Chengbang wanted to fight back, but Dabai jumped aside lightly and pounced, knocking Chengbang to the ground again.  On the side, Xiaobai yawned greatly as he watched the two of them having fun with little effort or much technical content.  "Hey, don't you have anything to do? You really have the time to entertain them." Ye Yichen scolded.  When Xiaobai saw Ye Yichen coming, he ran to her side and rubbed his head against her legs.  Ye Yichen rubbed Xiaobai's head lovingly and said gently: "You are better behaved." It took several days for Lian Qing and Yan Hong to get familiar with Xiaobai. They would not tremble with fear when they saw these two big guys.  .  Although Dabai and Xiaobai are jade-spotted tigers and can be regarded as monsters with a vicious reputation, they are nothing more than smart big pets around Chengbang and Ye Yichen.  When Chengbang and Ye Yichen were away or couldn't get away, they were now used to looking for food and drink from others.  In Black Mountain Fort, naturally, you should go directly to Long Nan.  After leaving Black Mountain Fort, it was Lian Qing and Yan Hong.  Chengbang quickly jumped up from the ground, came over and said, "There is nothing to do today. The luggage and other things are ready. I will go and have a small gathering with Miss Du and a few others later. In the afternoon  Ready to go back. " "Is the Du family reliable this time?" When it came to business, Ye Yichen stopped scolding Chengbang.  She helped Cheng Bang take off his simple leather armor and dusted off the dirt on his body. She said at the same time: "If they find out our route, it will be difficult." "How can it be so easy?" Cheng  Bang disagreed: "This time, we will only take them two hundred miles into the mountains. This is already the limit of how deep their adventure team can go for the time being. The territory we are familiar with. More than two thousand miles, right?" "Well, but,  You have to make them feel that the entire Shifang Mountain is within our grasp. Moreover, the benefits must be far greater than the risks of continuing to go deeper." Ye Yichen said with a smile: "Otherwise, they think it's two hundred miles away.  I can't bear it anymore, and I don't dare to go any further. Who knows what they will think of us. The road and supply points from Yong'an to Heishan Fort are all completed. The future of continuous operation will be a big business.  There will probably be a lot of tricks on us." "Don't worry, it'll be no problem." Chengbang assured him, patting his chest, "How can it be so easy for us to do this after fighting to death over and over again?  Are they going to be taught? They have already chosen their targets in the forest. This time, they must give those who follow us into the mountains a chance to learn something." Ye Yichen smiled slightly.  Chengbang only boasted like this in front of her. When he met people he didn't know well outside, he would be very polite and humble.  This inexplicable contrast made Ye Yichen a little uncomfortable at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood it.  After all, this guy is still a teenager who grew up in the mountains.  Another free nature.  To outsiders, the rules he has been taught since he was a child will come into play and make him polite and courteous.  When it comes to his own people, he has a boyish nature, coupled with a little impulse to show his powerful side in front of her.  It was released naturally.  Ye Yichen knew her own feelings. Facing such a Chengbang, she might still feel that he was naive, but it was naive that only she could see.  At the beginning, maybe she still had some thoughts about taking care of her younger brother, but now, during the long trek across the Shifang Mountains, she has seen Chengbang turn the tide time and time again, trying his best to defeat the enemy time and time again, even leading the entire team to the end.  So brave and unruly yet calm and strategic, Ye Yichen is now filled with joy and admiration when faced with this kind of exclusive childishness.  "Don't underestimate the heroes of the world. There are others in the Du family, and there will be fewer masters above the excitement stage. What we need to do with all our strength may be just a piece of cake for them. Anyway,  Just think about it more. " "Don't worry." Chengbang put his hands on Ye Yichen's shoulders, hugged her loosely, and said seriously: "We are going to fight hard in Black Mountain Fort.  There are many other things that we need to earn money to do, and I will definitely be able to do it." Ye Yichen's face turned red, and she quickly shook her body and shook off Chengbang's hands, saying, "Anyway, this time.  You must be careful. If I stay in Black Mountain Castle, I won't be able to follow you into the mountains without me.Healers, please take it easy.  There is no place to cry when you are injured.  " Chengbang smiled and nodded. " This is the first time I lead a team into the mountains. The most important thing is to show off my strength. As an important combat force, Jin Ge is the best choice to lead the original Black Mountain Fort manpower. Naturally, he is  We have to go together. Even though he will be mainly responsible for Yongan affairs in the future, he must go and really want to go. So, Peng Ze and Chen Wenxing are actually in charge of Yongan for the time being.  He had some other ideas. He was not good at spying and attacking in the mountains, and he was barely able to serve as a scout, but he came from the Imperial Court of Dai Viet and was very proficient in intelligence. Right now, they were in Yong'an, in the heart of the enemy's country.  , it can be said that there is a crisis everywhere, and he is naturally very concerned about intelligence. After talking to Chengbang and Ye Yichen before, everyone agreed, and asked him to use Yongan as a starting point to find a way to spread their intelligence network.  For this purpose, a large enough amount of funds was allocated, which accounted for almost one-third of what they gained after clearing all their belongings. Chen Wenxing made little progress in cultivation, but he was loyal and good at planning.  I have some experience, but Chen Wenxing himself does not like to stay away from Ye Yichen and Chengbang for a long time. Therefore, I guess this job will be rotated between Chen Wenxing and Jin Ge.  There are not too many people, namely Cheng Bang, Jiang Mei, Jin Ge, Zhe Luo, and Luo Dayuan and Zhao Baoqing who are already prepared in the mountains. Among them, Zhe Luo and Jin Ge are not with them.  Everyone has cooperated. Jin Ge is mainly responsible for coordinating the battle strength of the Black Mountain Fort on the outside. At the same time, he is filling in the gaps in the inner circle to prepare for emergencies. Zheluo, on the other hand, uses his ability of concealment and raiding to serve as the scout and surveillance of the entire team.  The adventure team sent by the Du family this time was not complete, and it was mainly to see the capabilities of Black Mountain Fort. But it was really the Du family who sent it.  Careful selection, a very powerful combination. Among the core four people, two monks, one healer, and one warlock are all in the middle and late stages of the Qi Qi stage. Three of them are descendants of the Du family.  One of them is a direct descendant. This lineup alone shows that they attach great importance to cooperation with Black Mountain Castle. In addition, the Du family's adventure team also has twenty followers who are responsible for taking care of the lives of the four people.  Among them was a one-eyed old man who looked to be in his early fifties. His cultivation was at the peak of the late Yuan Dynasty, but his combat power was close to that of the middle stage of Ji Qi.  He has been loyal to the Du family all his life and is responsible for leading the entire team. The old man once had the ability to cultivate in the late stage of Qi Qi, but he finally escaped with his life due to several consecutive fierce battles and serious injuries, but his injuries could not be fully recovered.  Only then did he reach his current level of cultivation. Mu En also brought a team to join this hunt, but like the Du family, the team mainly consisted of two monks in the Qi Qi stage.  A follower in the round body stage. In addition, there is a monk in the late stage of Ji Qi who Qin Feng wants to get in anyway.  In order to get Blackshan Fort to agree to him sending this observer, he even asked the monk named Xia Qingzhang to swear in person that he would fully comply with the assignments of everyone in Blackshan Fort and would never act arbitrarily.  Although these people have considerable combat power, Chengbang did not expect them to be of much help from the beginning.  When they hunt monsters in the mountains, the most important thing they rely on is not their level of cultivation, but their in-depth understanding of the habits of monsters and the precise cooperation within the team.  But, at least this time, no matter how much they feel these people are getting in the way, they have to take them with them.  In the afternoon, the group set off and left Yongan.  It was not until the evening four days later that we arrived at Black Mountain Fort.  Although the fortress complex is under construction, a group of slightly rough buildings have been erected at the foot of the mountain. The future planning of the town can be vaguely seen. It is estimated that it is just to have a temporary place to stay.  Xia Qingzhang was shocked to see that Black Mountain Fort had such a plan at the foot of the mountain so quickly. Although he was still wary of everyone in Black Mountain Fort, he couldn't help but sigh: These bandits are really very powerful.  .  Along the way, he was still somewhat out of tune with the team. Apart from some simple chats with people from the Du family and the Chamber of Commerce, he basically didn't talk much.  At this moment, he wanted to ask about the planning of the town here and the arrangements for entering the mountain later, but he was a little confused for a while and didn't know who to go to.  In the Du family team, the doctor is a direct disciple named Du Xingzhou.  Du Xingzhou was quite lively and very skillful in dealing with people. After settling the Du family and his party, he wandered around the scrawled town and happened to see Xia Qingzhang who was hesitating.  "Brother Xia, why are you staying here? A dinner party will be arranged for us later. It is said that there are many good products from the mountains. Follow meHow about going there together?  " "That's good.  I don¡¯t know what this Black Mountain Castle will bring out.  "Xia Qingzhang saw that it was Du Xingzhou, and he quickly greeted him and happily agreed. The Du family and Heishanbao had a good relationship, and Du Xingzhou had a lively temperament. He had been looking for opportunities to chat with Chengbang and Ye Yichen on various topics in the past few days.  "I know a lot about the current Heishan Fort. "It is said that it is Nanshao wild boar and Qingling fruit wine" Du Xingzhou showed a leisurely and fascinated expression. "Nanshao wild boar?  Isn¡¯t this something you can find in the mountains?  "Xia Qingzhang is quite familiar with Shifang Mountain and naturally knows its general distribution. "Qinglingguo has been brewing wine for at least half a year It shouldn't have been done recently.  They held a big banquet, and everyone in Black Mountain Fort had a share. Maybe not everyone had a share of the wine, but there was definitely meat.  Even the hired craftsmen had a share They didn't regard the Nanshao wild boar as anything special at all.  "Although Du Xingzhou is a direct and accomplished disciple of the Du family, he is not arrogant. Instead, he has a very peaceful temperament. But he likes all kinds of food. When he asked about the dinner arrangements just now, he became a little uneasy. Nan  Shao Wild Boar is a kind of gregarious monster beast that is very unevenly distributed in the Shifang Mountains. The combat power of a single monster beast is not very strong. It takes about one round of growth for an adult wild boar to be dealt with by novice monks, but this kind of wild boar is often dealt with.  A large group gathers together, running rampant in the mountains, and even those high-level monsters often stay away temporarily. This thing has no regional characteristics, so it has gradually become the most troublesome and unstable factor for the adventure team.  Taking out such a large amount of wild boar to eat, it is estimated that they have already started to clean up the wild boar community. The most powerful group of people are not in Heishan Fort. They can defeat the Nanshao wild boar herd with only limited combat power.  Such ability surprised Du Xingzhou, and now, this surprise also appeared in Xia Qingzhang's heart.
