"Those horses are good horses … Why don't we take some … It's also a fortune …"
Jiang Pengji hid in the dark and carefully observed the group. When her eyes fell on the horses, she couldn't help but feel excited.
Although those horses were not as good as the best horses, they had excellent bloodlines and belonged to the Meng's stable.
The Meng's was the only one among the four noble families that started with military achievements. They also owned the largest stable in Dongqing!
Cangzhou was located at the intersection of trade routes, so it was very convenient for all kinds of business. The Meng's imported many famous horses from the Northern Borderline or the Southern Man.
After several generations of breeding, most of the horses in the stable were of excellent quality. However, they only sold the inferior horses. The best and the best quality horses had to be offered to the main family of the Meng family or given to the Meng family as compensation to the army of the Meng family.
The royal family of Dongqing wanted good horses, so they had to buy them from the Northern Borderline or the Southern Man at a high price. By chance, they learned that the Meng's also had good horses, so the emperor hinted in various ways, hoping that the Meng's would offer a batch of good horses to him.
What was the result?
The Meng's did not take the Emperor seriously at all. They offered a batch of inferior quality horses as a tribute, and bluntly said that the best horses from the stud farm were to be sent to the Meng's army. Not a single one of those good horses was allowed to flow out. This made the Emperor of Dongqing very angry.
However, the Meng's were indeed not to be trifled with. The emperor of Dongqing was already burning with anger, but he had to maintain an open-minded and hearty appearance.
Jiang Pengji didn't want the horses at first, or she didn't even think about it.
But their owner was going to die soon. Wouldn't it be a pity if she didn't accept them?
As a good girl who didn't like to waste any resources, Jiang Pengji said that the horses were now hers.
What if she didn't agree?
Hold it in!
He sent three experienced followers to search for food and water, while the others rested and recovered their strength.
"I heard that there are many bandits in Hejian … Do you think the three of them will run into them?"
They sat down to rest, and the attendants started chatting.
"Hey, as long as they are not blind, which bandit will give us trouble? Not to mention three people going out together, even if there's only one person, which one of us from the Meng Family Army doesn't have the imposing manner to fight against ten thousand people? What's so scary about a few mobs? Don't you think so? "
At the mention of the Meng Army's prestige, the attendants suddenly felt a surge of confidence.
Indeed, in the whole of Dongqing and even the other four countries, who did not know of the reputation of the Meng army?
They had guarded Cangzhou for many years and helped the royal family of Dongqing protect the vital parts of the country. Wasn't it all thanks to them that Dongqing was able to celebrate peace and prosperity?
"That's right! But in my opinion, the strongest among us is still the leader. Even that Meng Hun can't compare to you … "
A follower gently flattered him, and the group of people seemed to have received some sort of hint. Flattery flooded their leader like a tide.
The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up. His heart swayed, and he waited until he was satisfied with the feeling of floating on air before he reprimanded her with a stern face.
The leader furrowed his brows and seemed to be very displeased. "We're asking you to fix up now, not to gossip like a bunch of gossipy women. If you don't want to rest, then say so earlier. Meng Hun? Haha, a stray dog who betrayed his master isn't qualified to compare to me. "
"The leader is right. We were wrong. How can that hypocritical stray dog, Meng Hun, compare to you?"
One of the attendants quickly changed his words and flattered the leader with his glib tongue. This attendant clearly had a face full of righteousness, but his eyes darted around from time to time, looking extremely restless. When it came to flattering, he was more active than anyone else.
The other attendants immediately followed up and opened their mouths to say, "Meng Hun is not qualified to compare to the leader. If you want to compare, throughout the whole of Dongqing, only the Count of Zhenbei's residence is qualified to compare to the leader. I heard that they were beaten up in the Northern Borderline again. In my opinion, if the leader was the leader, with your talent, you would definitely be able to turn the situation around and beat those bastards in the Northern Borderline back to their grandmother's house! "
After hearing this, the leader was in a good mood, as if he was shouting a piece of ice in the hottest days of the year. His whole body was icy cold.
The few of them talked about everything and flattered the leader. After a quarter of an hour, the three attendants from before still hadn't returned.
Of course, they couldn't come back.
The three attendants were experienced in surviving in the wilderness, but compared to Jiang Pengji, they paled in comparison.
She quickly found the nearest water source and laid in ambush, waiting for the three prey to take the bait.
Soon, the three figures came together.
One of them said in surprise, "There is water here. You're the best!"
"Don't talk anymore. Fill the water bags first."
The three of them were carrying many empty leather water bags. If they were to fill all of them and bring them back, the weight would not be light.
Jiang Pengji looked at them coldly and squatted down beside the pool. She steadily raised the bow in her hand.
She took out two arrows from the quiver and quickly drew the bow to a full moon.
Swoosh, swoosh —
The two arrows sank into the brains of the two attendants, piercing through the back of their heads. They were instantly killed.
The third person was originally seriously filling the water bag with water. Suddenly, he noticed that the surface of the water beside him was dyed red with eye-catching blood.
He was slightly stunned. The two companions who were talking and laughing with him just a second ago opened their eyes wide in disbelief and fell head first into the pool.
Enemy attack!
Two words suddenly popped up in the mind of the third person. The water bag in his hand fell to the ground and wet the soil by the shore.
He jumped up abruptly and pulled out the broadsword from his waist. He vigilantly looked around.
Following the direction of the arrows, he did not see any traces of anyone.
How many enemies were there? Where were they?
For a moment, these two questions popped up in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became.
He tensed up and stayed on guard for a long time. Still, no one attacked him. It was as if the two arrows that killed his companions appeared out of thin air.
The person looked at the bodies of his two companions and nervously pursed his lips. Then, he gritted his teeth and staggered away.
Yiye Chengzhou: "Ah ah ah, host, you let them go just like that? Letting a tiger return to the mountain will cause endless trouble. "
Gumeimei: "Although I think killing is very bloody, the host's situation is a special case. You can't generalize. Letting the enemy go is harsher to yourself. That person went to inform the others and called everyone over. Can the host deal with so many people alone? "
Muyu Qingfeng: "I want to convince myself that the host can kill more than 20 people, but … the host is still a bean sprout, right?"
Liu Lanting's body was only twelve years old. Compared to the burly men who were seven feet tall, she was as petite as a white rabbit.
Just the difference in physique alone made the viewers in the streaming room nervous. They could not help but break out in cold sweat for Jiang Pengji.
Jiang Pengji did not care about the fish that escaped the net. Naturally, her target was not just two people.
