After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 557: Conquering the Newcomer
The bandits guarding outside were stunned for a moment when they saw the sudden rain.
They were not excited about the rain after a long drought, but they were shocked to find that not only was it raining in the valley, but it was raining heavily.
As for them outside the valley, there was not even a single raindrop, let alone heavy rain.
This... can this also be raining?
Oh God, please open your eyes and look. I've heard of heavy rain and light rain, but I've never heard of it raining for you while it's not raining for me just one step away.
You are so unfair!
This area of Yushan has been dry for several years. Although it has rained a little, this little water is really not enough for the bandits who have lived in the mountain village for a long time.
In the past, there was mountain spring water available, but now most of the small streams around have dried up, so the bandits are short of water.
It finally rained at this moment, but the rain only fell on the enemy's side. The key point was that the enemy was being attacked by their fire.
The situation is so serious, isn't it like God is intentionally favoring the enemy?
At this moment, people like Hun Tianwang who were watching the battle in the valley from above were stunned.
King Hun Tian was a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick back.
This man has been able to make a name for himself in an area as big as Yushan, so his strength should not be underestimated.
King Hun Tian was shocked when he saw that the so-called rebels who had been trapped in the valley and were about to be destroyed suddenly received timely help as if from God.
"Damn it! How could this happen! How could this happen!" Hun Tianwang shouted with gritted teeth.
A man dressed in white beside him frowned and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong. I observed the sky at night and it shouldn't rain here. This sudden rain doesn't seem to make sense."
King Hun Tian waved his hand and said, "Bullshit, the rain has already started, why are you still talking to me about this!"
The scholar in white was naturally unwilling to admit that he was incompetent, and he immediately argued: "This rain is strange, your Majesty, we are only a few dozen meters away from the valley entrance, but now it is raining in the valley like a torrential rain, while here we are not even wet."
King Hun Tian snorted coldly and did not respond. He just walked towards the cliff in front, wanting to see more clearly the battle situation in the valley.
Xu Bo'an was originally observing Yan Shouyi and his group from the air. After spraying water, he found that the fire in the valley was no longer severe enough to hurt anyone, so he stopped spraying water.
After all, this thing makes the mouth and facial muscles very tired.
At this moment, Xu Bo'an casually looked around and found the little guys standing above the valley and setting an ambush.
After hearing their conversation, Xu Bo'an quickly realized that these people did have some abilities, otherwise they would not have been able to defeat Yan Shouyi and other people who came from the regular armed forces.
In other words, I just happened to lend a helping hand, otherwise Yan Shouyi and others would have been completely defeated and almost died!
When Xu Bo'an heard the scholar in white say "observe the celestial phenomena at night", he immediately became interested.
Xu Boan had seen the art of observing the sky at night in countless novels and TV shows. He had always thought that this skill was quite magical.
Now that this person could actually "observe the celestial phenomena", Xu Bo'an suddenly felt itchy.
After all, although he had mastered the Book of Fortune and Astrology, he was not very good at things like wind, rain, thunder and lightning due to the limitations of the Book of Fortune and Astrology.
The mountain gods and land gods are basically good at taking care of the people and tending the fields. As for the ability to control the clouds and rain in the local area, according to their authority, it is the responsibility of gods such as He Bo and Jing Long Wang.
Therefore, if Xu Boan can learn the skill of observing celestial phenomena, it will be like adding wings to his power.
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an pretended to be serious and said to the scholar in white: "Humph, you are just an ordinary person, and you want to spy on the secrets of heaven. You are so bold!"
Because Xu Bo'an only spoke to the scholars in white, the scholars in white were the only ones present who could hear what Xu Bo'an said.
At this moment, the scholar in white's pupils suddenly dilated and he looked around, thinking he was hallucinating.
Xu Boan spoke again: "I'm talking about you. Don't try to spy on my existence. I am not someone that a mere mortal like you can spy on."
The scholar in white was frightened by the sudden voice and immediately fell to his knees, exclaiming, "I don't know who you are! What do you want me for?"
Xu Bo'an said with great momentum: "What's the matter? Haha, I am the mountain god of this place, and those people in the valley are my people. You actually cruelly set fire to them. If I hadn't arrived in time to help them, they would have been killed! Do you know your crime!"
The scholar in white was shocked and said hurriedly, "Grandpa Mountain God, I have no intention of offending you or your people. It's just that they wanted to attack our village, and we had no choice but to find a way to fight back."
Xu Bo'an didn't care about these things at all, and asked directly: "Let me ask you, how did you learn your ability to observe the celestial phenomena? How can a mere mortal like you master such a magical power!"
The scholar in white clothes said hurriedly, "Grandpa Mountain God, my ability to observe celestial phenomena is a family tradition. I have been learning this skill since I was young and it has been more than forty years now."
Xu Boan said with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, but it's a pity that you have such great abilities but have to become a bandit here. Are you willing to do that?"
The scholar in white was shocked and said, "I wonder what the mountain god has to say."
Xu Boan said directly: "Among those people in the valley, there just happens to be a lack of a sorcerer like you. That's all I have to say. You can do whatever you want!"
Xu Bo'an thought that if he could use this person for his own purposes, it would be easier for him to devote himself to teaching him the skills of observing the celestial phenomena, so he thought of playing the long game to catch a big fish.
The scholar in white was stunned when he heard this, as if he was thinking about the meaning of the words of the mountain god.
Just when he was stunned for a moment, he saw King Hun Tian coming from a distance and said dissatisfiedly: "Humph, I heard you mumbling from a distance. What are you talking about? Why don't you come with me to see the situation on the battlefield?"
When the scholar in white heard this, he realized that King Hun Tian was not aware of what the mountain god had just said to him.
At this moment, a mountain bandit in the distance ran over in a hurry, knelt in front of the two men and shouted: "My lord, I heard those guys in the valley below shouting something like 'Thank God'."
The scholar in white was shocked when he heard this. This seemed to confirm what happened just now. If the other party really had divine help, how could this battle be fought!
The scholar in white said immediately: "You see, my king, I said these people seemed to be blessed by gods, otherwise how dare they rebel with such a small number of people? I heard before that the leader of these people can move with the wind and fly in the sky. I'm afraid that such a skill is difficult for ordinary martial arts masters to achieve!"
Hun Tian Wang Bu Ah Ni Fa said: "Humph, what should we do? Just let them go? And then make peace with them and keep our distance from them from now on?"
The scholar in white shook his head and said, "My king, this matter is not that simple. Now it is not a matter of whether we forgive them or not. They have the help of gods and immortals, and we have no chance of winning at all! As for peace, we have already set up such a trap for them. They have already offended them. Now that things have come to this, it is difficult to talk about peace."
King Hun Tian said solemnly: "Then according to your opinion, what should we do?"
The scholar in white said casually: "Since they have the help of gods, we can't beat them. Why don't we join them?"
King Hun Tian's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I worked so hard to gather my brothers and build this village, and now I'm just going to give it up like this? I won't accept this!"
"You're not willing to accept this! Then go and die!"
The scholar in white shouted angrily, suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it into King Hun Tian's chest.
King Hun Tian opened his eyes wide, his face revealing deep confusion. He stared at the scholar in white with an incredulous look, as if asking why.
But just as he was about to say something, blood flowed out of his mouth.
The scholar in white let go of the dagger, clapped his hands, and said nonchalantly: "You are the one who did the evil, but my brothers and I still want to live. Today, we have no choice but to borrow your head as a token of our loyalty to you brothers!"
King Hun Tian fell to the ground with his eyes open. Several subordinates who were standing beside him looked at each other, suddenly at a loss as to what to do.
Suddenly, a man's eyes turned and he shouted, "Second Master punishes evil and promotes good. For the sake of our brothers, we brothers are willing to make you the King of the Village!"
The rest of the people followed suit and shouted the same slogan.
The scholar in white clothes pressed his hands and said, "I believe you have heard that this group of people are assisted by immortals. I have been blessed by immortals in my dreams and learned the ability to observe celestial phenomena, so I know the power of immortals. This guy is just a bandit, but he shamelessly calls himself a king. He has no morals and is trying to go against the immortals. Isn't this like fighting with an egg against a rock? If you trust me, I am willing to lead you to seek the protection of the immortals to avoid being punished by the immortals again!"
"We are willing to let the Second in Command be the leader. We will listen to whatever you say!" Everyone knelt down and expressed their willingness.
The scholar in white nodded, and then ordered: "Everyone listen to me, gather your men and horses, and follow me down the mountain to welcome the guests!"
Xu Bo'an was watching all this in the air and couldn't help thinking that this scholar in white was really cruel. He killed his master without any hesitation!
I originally wanted to recruit some talents for Yan Shouyi, but I never thought that I would invisibly interfere with the development of the situation here.
This was not Xu Boan’s original intention!
However, Xu Bo'an is not a pedantic person. He just does it. After all, his appearance in the bonsai world is a huge variable.
Seeing that Yan Shouyi was fine, Xu Bo'an did not stay in the bonsai.
Just as I was coming to my senses, I felt a little thirsty and was thinking about getting a glass of water when Xu Boan's phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was Liu Quan calling, Xu Boan answered the call immediately.
"Hello, Liu Quan, what's the matter?" Xu Bo'an turned his head to hold the phone, and used his free hands to pour water while talking.
Liu Quan's usual flattering smile came from the microphone, and he said, "Hey, Mr. Xu, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner!"
Xu Boan ate out yesterday and drank a lot of wine. He didn't have much appetite today. After all, he was not a heavy drinker. In the past, due to the needs of the company's development and work, he sometimes had some social engagements that were difficult to refuse. Now that he was not going to continue working, there was no need to embarrass himself.
Xu Boan said immediately: "Okay Liu Quan, we are all family, there is no need to treat me to such a grand banquet. If you have something to say, just tell me directly. There is no need to go through all the trouble of treating outsiders to a feast. Besides, you know that the dishes in most restaurants outside may not be as delicious as those in our company cafeteria. You can eat with peace of mind."
Liu Quan, who has always been good at dealing with people, was instantly moved when he heard Xu Bo'an's words. He immediately said, "Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Xu. Thank you for treating me as your own. In fact, I want to express my opinion to you, Mr. Xu. I have discussed it with my wife, and I want to... I want to go with you! My wife also supports me very much."
Xu Bo'an laughed when he heard this. This was something he was very happy to see.
After all, Xu Boan will not be able to do things in person when starting a business or doing something in the future. With the help of Liu Quan, the butler, Xu Boan will be much more relaxed.
Xu Bo'an is already a financially independent person, so why should he make himself so tired if he can live a life without getting tired?
Xu Boan smiled and said, "Don't you even ask me what I'm going to do?"
"No matter what you do, since you think highly of me, Liu Quan, I will follow you. My wife also means the same!" Liu Quan said firmly.
Xu Bo'an said: "Actually, I haven't decided what to do, but don't worry, since you trust me so much, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Liu Quan said firmly: "Mr. Xu, I believe you will achieve great things. I am honored to accompany you to success."
Xu Bo'an laughed and said, "Haha, good! How about this, you also do the work handover recently, and then have a good rest for a while. You have worked hard for so many years, and it's time to take a good rest."
Because Liu Quan's position was relatively low, his resignation procedure was easier to handle, not to mention that with Xu Boan in charge, it became even easier.
Liu Quan responded hurriedly, and then the two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Now that Liu Quan is ready to follow me, it is time to consider specifically what path to take next.
You can't just let the people who follow you starve to death.
At the moment, Xu Boan’s most mature thing is naturally the sour juice brewed from the wild fruits and mountains in the bonsai, which is a very good product for sobering up. If this thing is put on the market, it will definitely be of great use.
But Xu Boan is not good at anything related to food or medicine.
After much thought, I decided that I should talk to someone who is knowledgeable and professional about this matter.
Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang again.
When Xu Bo'an saw the caller ID was Zhang Jimin, he was immediately happy.
It's like someone sends you a pillow when you're sleepy. Just when I was thinking about who to talk to about medicine, Zhang Jimin, an industry expert, showed up. (End of this chapter)
