laughed bitterly in his heart, Feng Country never said that the other side of the Ba Pass was the Feng Country, while the other side was the Mo Country. He smiled and asked, "Are there a lot of herbs in the mountain?"
"We don't have many herbs on this side of the Mo Country Mountain, but we do have a lot of herbs on the Feng Country Mountain."
Ren Fang's eyes lit up, he raised his eyebrows and said: "You've been there before?"
Yao Nong nodded her head and smiled. "Yes, my lord."
"From the Ba Pass?"
"In order to enter and exit Ba Pass, one has to pay customs duties. I can't make much money from gathering herbs. If I can't make money after paying customs duties, then I'll have to lose money."
"How did you get there?" This time, Ren Fang's interest was really piqued and he looked at the medicine farmer without blinking.
Yao Nong let out a hollow laugh, glanced left and right, very mysteriously said in a low voice: "I went over the mountain."
Ren Fang took a deep breath. It was not that he had not checked the mountains at the borders of the Feng Mo Mountain Range, the peaks were not only high, but they were also extremely steep, not to mention ordinary people, it was extremely difficult even for high level Spirit Cultivator s to cross the mountain. The medicine farmer in front of him was just a normal villager.
This information was too important to Ren Fang, he asked in surprise and delight: "Old brother, could it be that you know of a shortcut to traverse this mountain?"
The pharmacist closed his mouth, looked troubled, and stammered for a long time without uttering a word.
He didn't enter the city from the normal way, but snuck in secretly. If the government found out about this, they would be beheaded. Yao Nong was worried and didn't say anything for a long time.
Ren Fang understood what he was hesitating about, and immediately said: "Elder brother, do not worry, I am not from your Mo Country, and will not inform your Mo Country office about this elder brother's matter." It was filled with at least fifty to sixty taels of silver. He handed it over to the pharmacist and said in a soft voice, "As long as brother is willing to tell me what happened, all of this silver belongs to you."
Never in his life had an alchemist seen this much silver. He nervously waved his hand, stammering, "No, no, no, my lord has already given me enough silver. I dare not take it again ?"
"Huh?" At this time, Jin Zhuo walked over, stuffed the silver bag into Yao Nong's hands, and said: "This is my family's general's favor, your brother won't reject it anymore."
Holding the heavy silver bag, Yao Nan looked at Ren Fang, then looked at Jin Zhuo. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say anymore. So much silver, it was enough for him to buy a house anywhere and marry and have children.
Ren Fang smiled and patted Yao Nong's shoulder, and said: "Brother, tell me, how did you get across the mountain?"
It's true that money can make you suffer. Yao Nong steeled his heart and said, "Sir, I turned the tables on the wind."
"Broken Wind Gap?"
Ah, that's the place where the two mountains meet. The terrain is very low and the slope is very slow, so it's not hard to climb over there. However, there's wind there.
After Ren Fang and Jin Zhuo heard this, they looked at each other. The two of them were famous generals who had seen the world, they were happy and angry, but at the same time, their eyes shone with excitement. Through this place, they could bypass the Ba Pass which was difficult to defend and attack, and enter the borders of the Feng Country without anyone knowing, sneaking behind the Ba Pass, and joining forces with their own army on the other side to attack the Ba Pass, completely annihilating the Main Force of Feng Army within the city.
After a moment of silence, Ren Fang said: "Bro, bring me there!"
"Now?"
"Yes, now. If it is really as brother said, with this kind of place, I still have to repay you. If elder brother is willing, you can also follow me back to the Chuan Country, and increase your status to become an official, and have a rich life! " Now, even if Ren Fang had to make a heavy promise, he would agree to it without hesitation.
The medicine farmer could not believe his ears. He stood there stunned, unable to react for a long time.
Under Jin Zhuo's continuous urging, he finally regained his senses, and said with a trembling voice: "But the wind that is blowing out of my mouth is too strong, it's hard for humans and animals to get close!"
Ren Fang said: "Just take me to see, it's fine if we're not far away, we don't need to enter."
Since he said this, the medicine farmers had nothing else to say. The latter stamped their feet and nodded, "Alright, I will lead the way."
The medicinal farmer went back home to prepare, then locked the door and led Ren Fang and the rest into the mountain at the Feng Mo Frontier.
The Ascending Mountain was a continuous mountain range formed by countless mountain peaks. The village of Chaoyang was located at the foot of the mountain. Not far north, they would enter the mountains.
The mountain range was simply too big, and it was surrounded by mountains on all four sides. There were dense forests everywhere except for the mountains. If one was not familiar with the terrain, they would turn around and be unable to distinguish their north, south, east, and west. It was obvious that the medicinal plants farmers often entered and left this place. They walked with ease in the forest, and the path they chose was also very easy to walk on.
After walking for more than two hours, the medicine farmer walked in front and Ren Fang and the rest followed behind on their horses. The medicine farmer stopped and said: "Master, we have to climb the mountain in front and cannot ride anymore."
Ren Fang, on the other hand, obeyed. He ordered all his subordinates to get off the horses and tie them to the edge of the forest. Then, he followed the medicinal farmer deeper into the mountains on foot.
The ground was filled with gravel, and it was sharp at the edges. Many Chuan Army guards walked down, and the armor on their bodies had many dents. After walking for about four hours, the medicine farmer finally stopped. He was about to climb the mountain and cross the mountain, but after walking for quite some time, he finally stopped.
He gasped for breath as he pointed forward, and said to Ren Fang who was behind him: "Master, that is the wind vents. Once we exit the wind vents, we will be at the north side of the mountain and that is also where the Feng Country s are."
Ren Fang was not a civil servant, but he was also a strong Spirit Cultivator. At the spot where the medicine farmer was standing, the cold mountain wind pierced into his bones. The wind felt like countless small knives scraping against his face, causing him to feel stinging pain.
He looked in the direction that Yao Nong was pointing at. In the distance, there was a mountain range. Between the two mountains, there was a cove. Presumably, that was the wind vent that Yao Nong mentioned. From such a distance, he could already feel the strong mountain breeze. If he was near, he would probably be blown away. Fortunately, the mountain wind had stopped by mid-month. That place was where their side could break through the barrier of Feng Country.
This place was wonderful, and the name was even better. Breaking Wind Cave, didn't this just portend that the heavens had bestowed upon their side, the Breaking Wind Cave? Thinking about it, Ren Fang couldn't help but laugh.
Jin Zhuo was elated. He walked to Ren Fang's side and said: "General, with this break in the wind, entering the Feng Country is as easy as flipping our hand. It's now the beginning of the moon, and there are still a few days until the middle of the moon.
"Yes!" Ren Fang nodded, then turned to Yao Nan and asked: "Do you still have family?"
"No more." The pharmacist shook his head as he spoke.
Come back to the army camp with me, in the middle of the month, brother will bring us back here. After we destroy the Feng Country, brother will be our meritorious general, and our King will reward you handsomely. Ren Fang laughed and said.
With things having progressed to this point, the medicine farmers can only follow Ren Fang's instructions, he sighed, and said: "I will depend on you in the future."
"Haha, brother do not worry, I, Ren Fang will keep my promise."
Ren Fang and Jin Zhuo brought the medicine farmers and left the mountains, returning back to the army camp. It was morning when they left camp, and it was evening when they returned. After returning to the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country's camp, Ren Fang personally arranged a tent for the medicine farmers and sent someone to 'look after' him. After making sure that everything was settled, Ren Fang finally returned to the Central Army Tent with light steps.
As soon as he entered, he saw Nie Ze pacing back and forth inside the tent.
Ren Fang knew why he had come here, but pretended not to know. He walked back to his own seat and sat down cross-legged, then asked with a smile: "Is there anything I can help you with, General Nie?"
Nie Ze saw that Ren Fang was full of smiles, but he was not angry, and was at a loss what to do. He was here just to explain to Ren Fang that he had sent troops to kill the citizens of Mo Country in the morning. In the end, he waited for him for an entire day and only returned in the evening.
After pondering for a moment, Nie Ze said: "General Ren, what happened this morning ?."
"Don't let this happen again this morning." Ren Fang said in an amiable tone, "The attitude of the Mo Country is extremely important to our army. Once we anger the Mo Country and suddenly use force against our army, I wonder if the General Nie has considered the consequences?"
0
Nie Ze scoffed and said: "They are only a few villagers, at worst, we can just accompany Mo Country for some money."
Ren Fang sighed, and said: "To take a step back, even if Mo Country does not blame us, killing the citizens, and killing the innocent, is not a righteous action."
"General Ren, being compassionate at this time is the same as being compassionate! You and I, two armies, two million strong, yet we are stopped by Ba Pass. Every day, we consume an astronomical amount of food, and if we do not progress, the morale of the entire army will be worn down. If we exchange the lives of a few people of Mo Country for the victory of our army, it would be worth it. "
"Even if we don't kill them, we will still win without your Plague Tactic." Ren Fang said.
"Eh?" Nie Ze was startled, he looked at Ren Fang blankly, and asked: "What does General Ren mean?"
Ren Fang smiled and narrated the entire matter of him being guided by the medicine farmers to the Wind Break. Then he said, "General Nie, wait until the wind from the Wind Break is weakened in the middle of the month. Then, our army can bypass the Ba Pass and directly rush into the borders of the Feng Country.
"Ah?" "There's actually such a thing?" To be able to enter the borders of the Feng Country without passing through the Ba Pass, this news was really too sudden for Nie Ze. It was as if a giant pie had smashed his own head from the sky, causing him to sink into a state of astonishment, and he was unable to recover from his shock for a long time.
