Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 141 Gao Jinda, Calling Valley!

When everyone saw the Tiemu brothers running out of the yard one after another, they also dispersed happily.

Liu Feiyun walked slowly in Fuyou Courtyard alone, looking at the courtyard where he had lived for more than ten years, and sighed in his heart: "Fuyou Courtyard, my cradle, I will leave you in a few days. After this, I am afraid that I will never have the free time to come back and stay for three or two days. Farewell, my childhood!"

Outside the gate of Liu Mansion, a carriage stopped by the side. Gao Jinda got off the carriage and looked at the Tiger Power Guards standing upright on both sides of the main gate with some fear. He trotted to the side door, and the Green Willow Guards on duty came to greet him.

"Mr. Gao! You're here again!" the guard greeted him with a smile.

"Is that so? I wonder if the prince has returned home today?" Gao Jinda said with a polite smile.

"Mr. Gao came just in time, as the young master just returned this morning. He heard that Mr. Gao had been visiting the mansion for more than ten days and wanted to meet him, and he felt very sorry. He specifically asked us to tell Mr. Gao that he is too busy these days and he will definitely come to visit him one day. Please don't mind, Mr. Gao."

"No, no! The prince is not as idle as me. Since the prince is very busy, I will come another day!"

Gao Jinda returned to the carriage, got on and was about to leave, his face gloomy: I have come here in vain today!

Suddenly, a slow sound of horse hooves came from far away in the mansion. Gao Jinda turned around and saw Liu Feiyun and several others coming with horses.

"Hey! Is that Brother Gao Jinda in front? Brother Gao, please stay!" Liu Feiyun saw Gao Jinda about to get on the carriage and leave from afar, and shouted hurriedly.

Gao Jinda was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly trotted forward and said, "My Lord, you've made me wait so long! Today I finally get to see you! You've been avoiding me, are you still mad at me?"

Liu Feiyun hurriedly said, "Oh! Brother Gao! You really misunderstood me. The previous unpleasantness was just a small misunderstanding, and we can be said to have known each other for a long time. It's not that I'm avoiding you, Brother Gao, it's just that I'm too busy these days. Look! I have to go out and do some things now, and I can't compare to Brother Gao's leisure time!"

"Haha! Are you making fun of me for being idle, Prince? I wanted to go to your house to thank you for your teachings last time, but seeing that you are so busy now, I can only do it another day.

"Brother Gao, it's good that you understand! It's good that you understand! Three days! In three days, I will come to your house in person to apologize! What do you think?"

"really?"

"Really? I have something important to ask of you when the time comes. Brother Gao, please don't refuse to help me!"

"It would be my honor if the prince could use me. The prince is busy now, so I will take my leave now. I will be waiting for you outside the north city gate in three days."

"I dare not. Brother Gao, take care. I will not see you off. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Liu Feiyun bowed to Gao Jinda, jumped on his horse, and rode away, with three other people following him on horseback.

Gao Jinda got on the carriage happily and said, "Let's go back to the mansion and make good preparations to welcome the prince!"

This is a valley more than three miles long and one mile wide on average, with a small river running through it. Because the valley looks so much like a gourd, it was originally named Gourd Valley.

However, Liu Feiyun thought the name was too casual and unworthy of his first base, so he changed it to the strange name of Huanming Valley. Liu Feiyun felt that this name was more suitable for this place than any other mountain villa, and it also had special meaning to him.

At this time, Liu Feiyun and the other three were walking slowly along the ridge that surrounded the valley. Although the mountain was ups and downs and there was not even a narrow path on the ridge, it was not too difficult for a cultivator-level martial artist to pass through.

The three were a captain of the Tiger Power Iron Guard and a leader of the Green Willow Guard. They were in charge of dozens of Iron Guards and Guards respectively, and were currently responsible for the security and protection of the Calling Name Valley. The other was the supervisor of the Calling Name Valley, and had led more than 500 craftsmen into the valley a month ago to build various housing facilities.

The supervisor was an old man, over sixty years old, but very agile, and his cultivation level was the seventh level, which was the highest among the three. "Young master, look, this gourd... no, it's called the valley, the mountain ridge is endless, with only a gap at the valley mouth. The ridge slope is steep on the outside and gentle on the inside, and there are only low hills outside the valley. This is really a natural war fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!" The old supervisor pointed to the mountains surrounding the valley and said.

The captain of the Iron Guard nodded and said, "Yes, to defend this valley, we only need a team of Iron Guards to seal the valley entrance. There are no high mountains around this valley, and there is no need to worry about being spied on from outside. There is a small lake formed by an underground river in the valley, which flows out from the valley entrance. There is no shortage of water. As long as we prepare enough food and grass, we will not run out of food and the valley will not be lost."

The old supervisor said, "Young Master! The gentle slopes in this valley are covered with dense trees, and the terrain around the small lake is flat and open. It is a great place for training soldiers and martial arts, setting up secret workshops, and cultivating rare medicinal fields and fruit trees. The only drawback is that it is a little small and cannot accommodate too many people. Liu Feiyun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't have many people now anyway. Why don't we go around the valley!"

The three said yes. The group had circled the ridge and returned to the valley entrance. This time, the four of them walked from the bottom of the valley. After passing the valley entrance, there was a narrow valley. The valley was nearly one and a half miles long and less than half a mile wide. The terrain at the bottom of the valley was undulating. Although the drop was not very large, it was enough to prevent the war horses and spirit beasts from running and the large group of soldiers from forming a battle array.

The captain of the Iron Guard pointed to several simple watchtowers on the high peaks on both sides and introduced them to Liu Feiyun: "Young Master, look at those watchtowers. Each one is equipped with a light crossbow, and the range is enough to cover the entire outer valley. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even cultivators can be shot and killed."

The leader of the guards also said: "The terrain of this outer valley is complex and changeable, which is not conducive to military battles, but is convenient for close combat among the martial arts people. Therefore, I will let one-third of the guards defend here, and with the cooperation of the iron guards on the mountain, we can stop Xiu Jun."

Liu Feiyun nodded, expressing his satisfaction. The old supervisor said, "It's because we were too short of time, not enough manpower, and we also had to keep it secret, so we didn't have time to install the heavy-duty combo crossbow. Otherwise, even if Xiu Jun came, he wouldn't be able to return alive."

"Don't worry. After a year, the Huanming Valley can be shown to the public, and there will be no need to worry about whether it is kept secret. By then, all the heavy weapons that can be equipped in the valley will be equipped." Liu Feiyun said with anticipation.

Soon, the four of them passed a high wall built in a narrow place and came to the inner valley. The inner valley was a nearly circular basin with a diameter of more than two miles. In the center of the basin was a small lake with a diameter of nearly one mile. In the small lake, there was even a small island with a radius of several dozen feet.
