"Your Excellency, you're too kind. If it were me, I would have beaten that bastard to death!"
"Even if he doesn't die now, he won't have the face to stay here!" Junior Leopard sneered, "This guy is arrogant. I don't know where he got his bad temper. It's a miracle that such a person can live until now!"
Thinking of Wang Hua's attitude just now, Junior Leopard was very surprised. A little master who had just stepped into the Level Four Bone-Forging Realm should be so arrogant in front of him, a well-known Level Seven expert in Jianghu. This could not be described as brainless. This was pure brainlessness!
"It's not strange. People from well-known families are all like this!"
"All like this?" Junior Leopard was stunned, "No way. I also know a guy from the Li Family in Pingzhou. He's a lineal descendant of the Li Family. He's much better than him!"
"Your Excellency, you know a disciple of the Li Family in Pingzhou?"
"Don't forget what I used to do. I used to be Admiral Li's personal guard, and Admiral Li is also from the Li Family. I don't see such arrogance in them! "
"That's a minority. The arrogance of the disciples of these millennium families and Aristocratic Families is well-known in the world. An ordinary servant dares to yell at a local official. A small steward can gallop in the big city and kill people on the street. No one will care about him!"
"That is to say, he is not the only brainless person in this world. Many people are also brainless?"
"If Your Excellency thinks so, it's almost the same!" Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "But Your Excellency, it's not a good thing to offend these powerful families and barons!"
"I've already offended one family. I don't care about offending another one!" Junior Leopard said, "The Wang Family in Cenzhou is the same as the Meng Family in Ningzhou. They are the biggest well-known families and Aristocratic Families in the Great Jin. They both made great contributions in the destruction of Northern Yuan this time and got a large piece of fief. The fief of a well-known family is enfeoffed in the form of a family. The contributions of the family disciples are all counted into the family. How could Wang Hua get a fief alone? What's more, it's two hundred miles. Could it be that he has made a great contribution?!
"I don't know about this!" Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "However, as far as I know, there are many unorthodox disciples of the aristocratic families who have received their own fiefdoms. On the other hand, the direct descendants of those aristocratic families have not received any!"
"Looks like this is another method used by the imperial court to divide the aristocratic families. Are they supporting the side sects to fight against the direct line?" Junior Leopard's eyes flickered, "Although the fiefs of well-known families are large, the quantity is limited. There are many lineal descendants. After a few decades, they will inevitably fight for the fiefs and their strength will weaken. If some of the Side Sect's descendants develop, they will not be able to escape at that time. For the lineal descendants, it is also a problem!"
"You're right, Milord. These people are used to fighting for power and can't bear to see others doing well!" Jiang Xiao said. "It seems that the imperial court is well prepared this time!"
"That person in the imperial court is playing a big game of chess. As for us, we're just an inconspicuous chess piece on the chessboard. We just need to do our own thing!" Junior Leopard said softly. "By the way, is there any news about Wang Hua's escaped slave?"
"Zhu Ba is investigating with Little Du. I think there will be news soon!"
Before Junior Leopard's voice died away, he heard a burst of laughter outside the tent. "Your Excellency, we've found him!" It was Zhu Ba's loud voice.
"Bring him in!" Junior Leopard said.
He took out a leather scroll from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Xiao. "This is the city-building map that Old Kelsang gave me. Take a look at it first. In the future, we will need it to build the city!"
"Yes!" Jiang Xiao nodded and put the leather scroll into his bosom.
The curtain was lifted and Zhu Ba came in with a thin man. He threw the man on the ground and said, "Your Excellency, it's him, the escaped slave of the Wang family!"
"I'm not an escaped slave. They caught me by force!" The thin man struggled to get up and cried.
"It's a woman?" Hearing the shrill voice, Junior Leopard frowned. He didn't expect the escaped slave to be a woman.
"You're wearing the clothes of the Wang family's slaves, and you were chased to my territory by that idiot Wang Hua. How dare you say you're not an escaped slave of the Wang family? If you're not an escaped slave of the Wang family, why are you here?"
"I'm the daughter of Khan, the princess of the Blackwolf tribe!" The thin woman cried, "You damn devils, Everlasting Heaven will punish you!"
"Your Everlasting Heaven is already dead!" Hearing the woman's cry, Junior Leopard narrowed his eyes. He raised his hand and took her body into his hand. "Wang Hua said you stole his treasure. What is it?"
"I, I didn't steal his treasure. It was he who wanted to rob the sacred relic of the Blackwolf tribe!"
"The sacred relic of the Blackwolf tribe?" Junior Leopard smiled and said, "Well, take out the sacred relic of your Blackwolf tribe and let me have a look!"
"Don't even think about it!" The woman's face was covered by dust, but her eyes were bright. She stared at Junior Leopard fiercely and didn't show any weakness. "This is the sacred relic of our tribe that has been passed down for thousands of years. I will never give it to you devils!"
"What a strange energy fluctuation. Why is this fluctuation so familiar?"
Junior Leopard raised his eyebrows as if he had found something unexpected. "Do you think I can't find it if you don't show me your sacred relic?"
"Humph!" The woman snorted and turned her head to one side.
Junior Leopard loosened his hand and threw her to the ground again. "The Blackwolf tribe was a powerful tribe in Northern Yuan. The sacred relic of this tribe must be a good thing!"
As he said this, Junior Leopard stared at the woman and found some contempt in her eyes. He couldn't help laughing. "However, as far as I know, the Blackwolf tribe was conquered by Jin Dawei, a general under Governor Ma. All the treasures of the tribe were brought back to Great Jin. Jin Dawei is famous for his meticulousness. How could he miss such an important treasure? And you, princess, hehe, before the Blackwolf Tribe was conquered, the chief had burned his whole family to death. How could you have survived? You said you are the princess of the Blackwolf tribe. You should show me some evidence! "
"I don't need to prove that I'm the princess of the Blackwolf tribe. It's up to you to believe it or not. Humph, I know you people from the Central Plains are the most cunning. Don't try to trick me into taking out the sacred relic!"
"You're from Northern Yuan. Your Central Plains language is very standard. There aren't many people like you in Northern Yuan. Therefore, your status in Northern Yuan should not be low. As for whether you're a princess or not, I don't want to know. What's your sacred relic? I probably understand it now. Therefore, I don't need to provoke you!" Junior Leopard said with a smile. He slowly bent down, stretched out his hand and gently lifted the woman's chin.
"You look decent. Coincidentally, I'm short of a maidservant. You can be my maidservant. Zhu Ba, take her out, wash her, and change her clothes. From now on, she will serve me in my tent!"
"Ah?" Zhu Ba didn't expect Junior Leopard to suddenly make such a decision.
"What ah? Go quickly! "
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhu Ba's face showed a hint of ambiguity. "I understand, I understand!"
An hour later, Zhu Ba came to the tent with the woman again. This time, the woman was much fairer than before. She was about 15 or 16 years old. As Junior Leopard said, her face was decent. But that was all. Even if she was a princess, how could there be so many beautiful princesses in the world?
The princess of the Blackwolf tribe had changed into a maidservant's costume. However, her eyes were full of stubbornness and resentment. Thinking about it, she suddenly fell from the position of a princess and became a sinner. She even lost her freedom. How could she not be resentful?
For a noble of Northern Yuan like her, she had an unforgettable hatred for the Great Jin.
"Well, Zhu Ba, you can leave now. Princess Zhan is here to serve me. I don't need you!"
"Ah, oh, yes, Your Excellency!" Zhu Ba hurriedly said. He rushed out of the tent and ran faster than a rabbit.
"What, what are you going to do?" After Zhu Ba left, there were only Junior Leopard and the woman in the tent. Obviously, the woman seemed to be a little frightened. She stepped back to the door of the tent. It seemed that she would run away as soon as Junior Leopard made any inappropriate moves.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you!" Junior Leopard touched his nose with some shame. "Do I look like a pervert?"
The woman did not speak, but her hands were tightly folded in front of her chest, which had already explained her thoughts.
"Well, even if I'm a pervert, I won't be interested in you!" Junior Leopard waved his hands speechlessly, as if to clear his name. "I'm only interested in beautiful women. You're so ugly!"
"You're ugly!"
It seemed that all women were very sensitive to this topic. However, it was really ungentlemanly for Junior Leopard to say that a girl was ugly in front of her without scruples.
Junior Leopard did not care about gentlemanly. What he cared about was the sacred object of the Blackwolf tribe. It was something that could make him feel excited and would be of great use to him!
Why did he say that?
Because Junior Leopard felt the fluctuation of Flickering Light Evil Qi from this woman!
Flickering Light Evil Qi!
It did not have much power. In fact, it did not have any power at all. Its only function was to deal with space.
Unfortunately, Junior Leopard now knew three special techniques and secret methods related to space: the Three Realms Division, the Space Division Skill, and a method to break through space that he had studied in the Hollow Magic Carpet. He did not know the name of that method for the time being.
But now, it seemed that he had a chance to get in touch with a kind of space celestial device. The fluctuation of Flickering Light Evil Qi was unimaginable. It must be a celestial device related to space.
When one's luck was about to come, it could not be stopped!
These days, he had been studying the Space Division Skill and the Three Realms Division, as well as the magic formation on the Hollow Magic Carpet. This kind of study was not just about application like before, but a deeper understanding of the Secret Skill of Space.
Yes, it was only the understanding of the Secret Technique of Space, not the understanding of space itself. Space and time were the two most profound systems in the universe. With his current level, he didn't even have the qualifications to take a look at them, so how could he touch them?
Everything was due to the principle of the Hollow Magic Carpet. There was a formation on it!
The formation was more or less related to space and illusion. For example, the Yin and Yang Dust Formation that Junior Leopard had obtained was a kind of formation that combined illusion, swordsmanship, space, time, and other basic rules of heaven and earth. It was a comprehensive formation. However, the magic formation on the Hollow Magic Carpet was different. It was a formation that specialized in space.
Junior Leopard did not have the energy to study the formation. Instead, he used his Three Realms Division and the Space Division Skill to crack the formation by force. Finally, he came to a surprising conclusion. In fact, the formation was not like the Three Realms Division, which was specially used to travel through space. Its real function should be to build a fixed passage between two specific points.
In other words, it was a Space Transmission Portal!
However, this so-called Space Transmission Portal only existed in theory. To build a stable passage between two points, the first problem to be solved was to keep the portals on both sides unblocked. This was not like building a house, where you could build a portal with two pieces of wood. To support the entrance and exit of a space, a very special material was needed. Junior Leopard did not know what it was, nor had he heard of it.
However, this formation had a lot of corroboration and reference for Junior Leopard's study of the Three Realms Division and the Space Division Skill. At the same time, it also gave Junior Leopard a novel idea.
He was now using the Space Division Technique to cut a small space in the space and put his two big iron hammers inside. There was also a limited amount of miscellaneous items that could be piled inside. However, this space was connected to his divine soul, and only he could put things inside. However, this behavior was too strange. For example, as long as he willed it, he could summon the two hammers from the space with a single thought. It was convenient, but the method was too strange. Others would know at a glance that he knew a special technique that could manipulate space.
Special techniques were different from celestial devices. As long as one knew the method, everyone could learn it. It was easier to attract covetous eyes than celestial devices. If he could open a fixed portal in the space he had cut, it would be better to open it in a place like the mouth of a gourd or the mouth of a bottle. In that way, when he took things out of the portal, others would only think that he had a spatial celestial device. Spatial celestial devices were precious and would attract covetous eyes, but they were much better than special techniques.
But at the same time, this was just a concept to him. For a beginner in the Space Technique like him, this concept was also out of reach.
But now, he saw hope in the Princess of the Blackwolf tribe.
"You don't need to panic, don't need to be nervous, and don't need to be afraid, because it's useless!" Junior Leopard stood up from the chair, and with one step, he was already in front of the woman.
His speed was too fast, causing the woman to be startled. She once again retreated, almost exiting the tent.
Junior Leopard stretched out his hand and directly reached for her chest.
"Ah —!" A short scream rang out. The woman covered her chest and shouted, "What are you doing?"
"I want the holy relic of your Blackwolf tribe!" While speaking, his hand unceremoniously reached for her chest and gently pulled. When he took back his hand, there was a necklace in his hand. This necklace was made of platinum, with a red jade pendant on it. It looked very ordinary.
"That's my necklace, not a holy relic!" The woman cried.
Junior Leopard turned the red jade pendant over and over in his hand and looked at it. Then he turned back, walked back to his chair and sat down.
"Don't try to hide it from me. You can't hide it from me!" Junior Leopard said, "The so-called holy relic of your Blackwolf tribe is this red jade pendant!" As he said this, he gently lifted his finger and slowly touched the red jade pendant. A strange thing happened. After his finger touched the red jade pendant, it seemed to pass through a door made of water waves and directly touched it.
"The design is good, but the most important thing is this red jade!" Junior Leopard smiled and said, "This is not jade, but a special material. Am I right?"
"You —!" The woman pointed at Junior Leopard with an inexplicable look of horror on her face.
"Actually, your Blackwolf Tribe doesn't have any holy item at all. What you have is just an independent space that has been opened at an unknown time. Inside the independent space are all the wealth that you've plundered for generations. Even if your Blackwolf Tribe is exterminated, as long as this pendant is still there, your Blackwolf Tribe will still have the hope to recover. The red jade on this pendant is the portal of that independent space, am I right?"
"How do you know? How can you open it? This is my tribe's holy relic. Except for the Great Shaman —!"
"Of course I can open it!" Junior Leopard sneered at her. "Do you think that only the Great Shaman of your tribe can open it in this world? Only small tribes like you who live in the north have such a low outlook. Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not something that is hard to find in the world. In the Central Plains, there are many people who have the ability to open it. Otherwise, why do you think the Wang Family is so persistent in pursuing you? "
"You —!" At this moment, the woman was so shocked and scared that she couldn't say a word.
"Well, just give up. Whether it's the lords in the north who have been enfeoffed or the Great Jin in the south, it's impossible for Northern Yuan to have a chance to rise again. Therefore, it's impossible for you to revive the Blackwolf tribe with the wealth inside. I think you'd better forget it. Just stay by my side and be my handmaiden. Then find a good man to marry and live a stable life!"
"You, you devil —!"
The woman screamed and rushed up, wanting to fight Junior Leopard with her life.
"You're really stupid!" Junior Leopard knocked the woman out with one finger and shouted, "Zhu Ba, get in here!"
Then he saw Zhu Ba coming in from outside the tent with an embarrassed smile.
… …
… …
In the next 10 days, life in the territory was very peaceful. Zhu Ba returned with a group of competent subordinates. In the whole territory, only Junior Leopard, Jiang Xiao, and four soldiers were left. However, Old Kelsang surprised Junior Leopard again. Taking advantage of his familiarity with the surrounding terrain and the characteristics of the tribe, he recruited nearly 100 nomads on the prairie for Junior Leopard. They entered Junior Leopard's territory together, including a dozen strong men. Under the command of Old Kelsang, they began to build temporary residences at the foot of Jilei Mountain, which was marked on the map.
Building a city was the dream of every prairie tribe. Because only the most powerful tribes were qualified to build a city on the prairie. Although these cities were very simple and crude in the Central Plains, they were the symbol of the tribe's strength on the prairie. Now, Elder Kelsang's tribe was destroyed. However, if he could build a city on his tribe's land while he was still alive, it would be a comforting thing for him.
Of course, these days, Junior Leopard didn't relax. On one hand, he asked Jiang Xiao to arrange several people to closely monitor the movements in Wang Hua's territory. He didn't believe that Wang Hua would give up after suffering such a big loss. On the other hand, he was studying the space connected to the red jade pendant.
This space was also cut by the Space Division Skill, but it was much larger than the one Junior Leopard was in. It was as big as the two tents he was in now. Piled up in it were the essence of the wealth accumulated by the Blackwolf tribe over the years. A large number of rare treasures dazzled Junior Leopard. Of course, this was not all. Gold and treasures were the least valuable things in it. There were also many Spiritual Stones, Genuine Weapons, precious medicinal herbs, and various things that Junior Leopard couldn't recognize.
The Blackwolf tribe was one of the few big tribes on the prairie, especially in the prairie to the north of the Dragon-pressing River. It had been dominating a region for two or three thousand years. The accumulated essence of two or three thousand years were all stored in this space. Therefore, this time, Junior Leopard's harvest was far more than what he had obtained in the Cool Breeze Gang.
"Don't show your wealth. Of course, I can't reveal such a large amount of wealth. Besides, I can't spend it all at once. It's better to keep it with me first!"
This was Junior Leopard's plan. In fact, these days, he had been trying to merge the space he had divided into two realms with the small space connected to the red jade pendant.
If he succeeded, the benefits were obvious. The area of his Space Division Skill would be greatly increased. At the same time, he could use the red jade pendant to deceive others.
That piece of red jade was a Mysterious Object, not an ordinary jade. It was not bred from a stone, but from an exotic beast. It was similar to Junior Leopard's Poison-absorbing Green Bead. Although it looked like an inanimate object, it was full of spirituality and carried a very weak but incomparably tough breath of life. No, it should be the breath of soul. Unfortunately, it was too weak, so weak that it could only connect to that independent space.
