Feng Yun was afraid that the other party would not believe him, so he continued:
"I don't know who leaked the news, but high-grade wood is hard to come by on the market right now. However, a small amount is still leaking out. I've already sent people to stake out the area. As soon as the collection is complete, I'll come and hand over the wood."
"Damn it! I'll definitely send someone to investigate who ruined His Majesty's plans."
Fengyun realized that he had gone too far and quickly advised:
"Sir, please don't interfere with the merchants' affairs. If you do, they will definitely hoard their wood tightly. Then you really can't buy it even if you want to. The price is just a little higher now, so you can still buy it if you want."
Zhang Rang thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, then I won't care. Just hurry up!"
"Yes, yes! I will do it as soon as possible."
After Fengyun finished speaking, he no longer cared about Zhang Rang's affairs.
After a day of acquisitions, high-grade timber is now starting to gain popularity.
It’s not very obvious now, but as long as it ferments for a few more days, you can stop.
He was now looking at a simple map of Xiliang, thinking about where to stay.
If you live inland, you have to live along the water. Fengyun looked at the map and quickly determined the approximate location.
"It's right here. This is the place with the most water in all of Xiliang."
Fengyun pointed at Ju Yanze of Xihai County and nodded with satisfaction.
The black Qilin understood what he meant and flew quickly towards Juyan Lake.
When they arrived at Juyan Lake, Fengyun specially asked the Black Qilin to fly higher in order not to alarm others.
They were circling in circles above the Juyan Lake.
The purpose is to draw the 3D terrain of Juyan Lake bit by bit.
In fact, the terrain here is very simple. Apart from two large lakes, it is flat grassland.
A large number of humans lived along the lake.
Now if he wants to build a village, he won’t have to worry about NPCs.
But there was no extra space for him to build a village.
Fengyun was not in a hurry. He chose a remote location and landed quietly.
Then slowly look for opportunities along the way.
…
"Fellow villager, can I have a bowl of water?"
Fengyun disguised himself as a traveling merchant and came to a remote village, where he asked a middle-aged woman who was drawing water from the river.
"Sure, go get some water yourself. But don't get too much, or you'll have to pay for it."
The woman's words aroused Fengyun's curiosity, and he said:
"Why do I have to pay for water? Is there a bully here?"
Seeing Feng Yun's voice was a bit loud, the other party quickly tugged at Feng Yun's clothes, glanced around, and then said carefully:
"Don't let those people hear this, or you won't even be able to drink water. Let me tell you, although they're not bullies, the water here has been taken over by several villages. Our village has to pay a water fee every month to come here to draw water."
"This is outrageous! It's simply too much. Is the entire Juyan Lake like this?"
"Yes. The lake across the street is occupied by another bandit camp."
"Aren't there any soldiers coming to suppress the bandits?"
Fengyun's words did not irritate the other party. Instead, she said calmly:
"Forget it. We don't have any soldiers in Xiliang. They have no control over the place. They will only stay in the city."
Now Fengyun roughly understood the situation here.
It seems that the court's control over the surrounding areas has completely lost control.
"Oh, then do you know where the lair of these gangsters is?"
"How would I know? I'm just a woman."
"Okay, big sister, do you know which one is the bandit?"
"That's it."
The older sister quietly pointed at a few people not far away.
Fengyun's gaze followed, and several people showed their heads, their eyes constantly scanning this side.
"Okay, big sister. I'm done. Thank you."
After drinking the water, Fengyun watched the woman leave and thought about how to attract the attention of these people.
He doesn't need to start from the village now.
If you want to control Juyanze, you must catch all these bandits in one fell swoop.
That's quite simple.
“Plop!”
He jumped in and splashed around in the water.
He wasn't pretending to be drowning, he just wanted to attract their attention.
really!
His surprising move made those people lose their composure.
Run towards him quickly.
"What are you doing? Come out quickly! Don't make this place dirty."
Seeing them coming, Fengyun came out of the water.
He said with a smile:
"Sorry, it's too hot. I went downstairs to cool down."
Who knew that the other party would directly say:
"Go cool down! Pay my fine now, one gold coin."
"What! A gold coin? You're robbing me."
"They're robbing me of my money. What can you do? Give me the money quickly, or you'll lose your life."
Now, fearing that they could not intimidate Fengyun, these people took out their weapons and waved them towards Fengyun.
"Hahaha, if you know what's good for you, pay up quickly, or you'll leave your head behind."
Fengyun is no problem in dealing with a few petty bandits.
He took out the longbow and killed the two men with a burst of attack.
Seeing this, the other person didn't dare to stay.
Run away.
Fengyun did not fire more arrows. When he ran to the stronghold, another group of bandits rushed out.
Fengyun drew his bow and shot, killing the two people in front of the team.
The death of their teammates did not make them retreat, and they continued to run towards Fengyun.
But after a brief pause, Fengyun shot again and killed two more people.
When the other party saw that the enemy was about to get close, he was about to chop with the giant knife.
But just when they were about to chop him, the other party flashed and disappeared in front of them.
"What's going on?"
But the next moment they were not shocked, but screamed by death.
This really shocked the other party.
The opponent is clearly a master, so how dare they continue to die?
He just dropped his weapon and ran away.
Fengyun still didn't rush to catch up.
Instead, he summoned the Black Qilin and flew directly into the sky.
He wanted to see if this person would run to his old nest to ask for help.
What's more, these bandits are all heading in one direction now.
Needless to say, they must have run towards their nest.
These bandits galloped on their horses, looking back from time to time, but they could not see Fengyun anywhere.
However, these people did not stop and continued to run away frantically. It was obvious that they were terrified.
I am very envious of the wind and clouds flying in the sky.
It really is Xiliang, even an ordinary bandit can use a warhorse for transportation.
He followed the bandits slowly. Although he flew a little slower than a warhorse, he could still see them easily at this height.
It didn't take long before their lair slowly appeared.
This place is about ten kilometers away from the nearby village.
Looking from the sky, you can see the situation inside the village at a glance.
