"But I want to follow you … hehe, it'll be fun if I follow you. You're not a quiet person. So, the journey will be very interesting. What's the point of following those three stupid brothers?" Dugu Xiaoyi saw that her trick was ineffective. So, she shamelessly pestered him again.
Jun Moxie understood that the three brothers must have thoroughly rejected this girl's request. So, she came to pester him. Otherwise, why would this girl come looking for me?
"Let me tell you, there's no way. There's no door, and there's no window." Jun Moxie's heart was as hard as stone. He wouldn't agree no matter what. "You'd better stay at home and accompany my sister-in-law. You can't go to that kind of place. Girl, you're risking your life, not going on an outing! "
"I don't know if she's at home or not. But, she certainly won't be able to accompany me. Because, I'm also going to the Southern Heaven City," a cold voice said. Jun Moxie's back stiffened. He turned his head with difficulty, and saw that it was Guan Qing Han who had spoken.
Guan Qing Han felt that something was wrong about this trip to the Southern Heaven City. Not many people knew about the Xue Hun Manor's matter. But, all the influential families of the capital must have gotten the news. And, the Imperial Palace was no exception.
But, at this time, Jun Wuyi and Jun Moxie were called to go to battle … What's the meaning of this?
Even if Jun Wuyi is leading the troops, why is Jun Moxie also involved? Therefore, Guan Qing Han was thinking a lot. And, she was thinking the most … [What if the Xue Hun Manor finds an excuse to make things difficult for Jun Wuyi and Jun Moxie after we arrive at the Southern Heaven City because of me? What should I do? This uncle and nephew's temperament is worse than the other's!
How could the two of them resist the might of the Xue Hun Manor if they were to fall out with them? However, as long as one of them brought up this matter, based on Jun Wuyi's and Jun Moxie's temperament, they would definitely fall out with each other. At that time, how would it end?
These two people, especially Jun Mo Xie, had always been a fearless person!
What couldn't he do? ,
Therefore, Guan Qing Han had to go, even if she had to die! Even if you don't bring me along, I will go alone!
If there was nothing else, that would be the best. Everyone would return together.
But if things got out of hand, Guan Qing Han would at least be a bargaining chip. If all else failed, he would rather sacrifice himself in exchange for the safe return of Jun Wuyi and Jun Moxie! However, he couldn't let this uncle and nephew know of his thoughts. Otherwise, they would rather break his legs than let him go. The Third Uncle was a bit better, but his brother-in-law, Jun Moxie, was evil. He would definitely imprison him!
Guan Qing Han was well aware of this point.
"Oh my god, sister-in-law, my dear sister-in-law, why are you causing trouble at this time? Why are you looking for me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Jun Moxie scratched his head. He seemed to be going crazy, "Even if you want to go, don't look for me. I don't have the final say. You can go and look for Third Uncle. "
"It's your business whether you have the final say or not. But, it's my business whether I go or not." Guan Qing Han faintly looked at him. Then, she pulled Dugu Xiaoyi's arm, and left. Before leaving, Dugu Xiaoyi winked at Jun Moxie to show off.
Show off? As long as you don't cause me trouble, I won't mind.
Jun Moxie's mouth twitched.
In the afternoon of the same day, Jun Mo Xie and his two hundred or so bodyguards dispersed, and silently disappeared from the Jun Residence.
At night.
Grandpa Jun's burly body stood in the courtyard. He said a few words to the dozens of black shadows in front of him. Then, the dozens of people dispersed and disappeared without a trace.
Grandpa Jun sighed and asked Old Pang, "When will they arrive?"
Old Pang thought for a moment and said, "Probably tomorrow night."
"Hmm," Grandpa Jun frowned, "Old Pang, prepare the masks and night clothes."
Old Pang's eyes revealed a smile.
In Jun Wuyi's courtyard, Third Master Jun clasped his hands together. The paper in his hand turned into powder. He smiled and muttered, "Tomorrow night …"
… …..
Night fell. The long night passed quickly. The sun rose and set. It was dusk.
The sun set and the moon rose. Time flew by in the blink of an eye. Zhao Wuji had already forgotten how many times he had whipped his horse. It had already been two days since he had abandoned the boat and landed on the shore. Two days of non-stop galloping!
Ever since they had set out from Jiangnan until now, they had been on the road without stopping for nine days. And after rushing day and night, the harvest was also very obvious. They had saved two days from the scheduled time, two whole days.
With these two extra days, he could avoid a lot of accidents! This was conceivable.
This made him feel a little excited. In these nine days, whether it was by land or by water, nothing unexpected happened. The journey was smooth. It was so smooth that it made him feel happy, but also a little unbelievable. It was really too smooth.
But because of this, Zhao Wuji's heart did not relax. On the contrary, the string in his mind was getting tighter and tighter. This situation was too abnormal. It was so smooth that it was surprising!
Ever since Zhao Wuji received this job, as the head of the Zhao Family, he understood what this business represented and what it meant. But it was too late for regrets by the time he understood.
Because the production of those things had already begun by the time he understood.
Those things were what the Second Prince wanted!
As a prince, what did he need these things for? Moreover, they had to be made in secret. Zhao Wuji knew that he had unknowingly boarded the Second Prince's pirate ship. Moreover, he couldn't get out of it.
From the moment they received the order, every time these crossbows killed a person in the future, their families would be tied even more tightly to the Second Prince's war chariot. If they were to be stained with the blood of other princes, or even … Then, they would have no way out!
But, he had no way to resist!
Not to mention that the production had already begun. Could he back out even if it hadn't begun?
His family had some influence. But, it was insignificant when compared to the Second Prince's strength. Perhaps, his family would be annihilated in half a day and a night if he were to decline this business.
High risk often meant high return. As a businessman, when he received a business deal that could bring him 300% or even more profit, it was not a bad idea to risk his life for it!
Moreover, there was a faint political meaning to this matter … If he could obtain a status or a reward because of this …
Therefore, Zhao Wuji felt as if he had eaten a fly. But, he still smiled and praised him. [This fly is disgusting at first. But, it's very nutritious. After all, it's rich in protein!]
The production of these Xuan Beast crossbows had finally been completed in a short time. And, there hadn't been any mistakes along the way. The Zhao Family's Patriarch Zhao Wuji had finally relaxed a bit. But, his nerves had become even more tense. In his heart, he knew very well that the journey to the capital with the crossbow would be the real competition!
Therefore, Zhao Wuji had stopped all of his family's businesses. Instead, he had gathered all of his family's experts to escort these crossbows to the capital. Moreover, he was still worried. So, he had hired the Jiangnan Trade Union at a great cost. He had even asked the Jiangnan Trade Union's Vice President to personally lead a group of experts to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
But, he had just finished his preparations when the Second Prince had already sent his elite guards to escort these crossbows to the capital. This had been a surefire way of insurance. But, it had only made Zhao Wuji even more frightened. He had arranged a considerable amount of escort strength. And, it was enough to deal with the vast majority of unforeseen events.
However, it was obvious that the Second Prince was still worried. Since he was so serious about this matter, didn't that mean that the delivery of this batch of hand crossbows might meet with some unexpected interception? Some interception that they couldn't deal with with with the strength of the escorts they had arranged?
And, it could be said that the true purpose of these crossbows was very clear. So, his previous plan to get lucky had also failed.
The horse under his crotch had taken a step forward. And, it was getting closer to the bloody struggle between the Imperial Family.
Finally, they had arrived at Tian Xiang's capital.
"Eldest Brother, we can confirm that this trip is safe. We'll reach Tian Xiang's capital in another two hundred kilometers. Even if someone wants to intercept us, I'm afraid that they won't dare to commit such a crime in the Empire's capital! " A thin man chased after them. He had a gratified smile on his face as he said, "It seems that we've been worried for nothing. I hadn't expected that things would go so smoothly. It seems that the Second Master's security measures are quite outstanding. "
This thin man was Zhao Wuji's younger brother. His name was Zhao Wu Tian. He was one of the few people in the Zhao Family who knew the identity of the consignor of these goods.
"I hope so!" Zhao Wuji let out a long sigh. Looking at the sky that was slowly darkening again, he suddenly felt that this gradually darkening world seemed to have become a huge black hole that was about to swallow him and his clan in one gulp, and he did not have the slightest ability to resist.
"There's only one last stretch of road left. Everyone, gather your strength, and advance at full speed. We must reach the capital as soon as possible, and hand over this batch of goods. Only then can we truly unload our burdens. Then, we can rest in peace!" Zhao Wu Ji exhaled a long breath, and tried hard to dispel the messy thoughts in his mind. Zhao Wu Ji said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Zhao Wu Tian replied. He then slowed down the speed of his horse. Then, he took out a small flag from his bosom, and waved it twice in the air. The entire team's speed had been quite fast, but it had suddenly increased by a lot.
The sound of hurried hooves suddenly resounded. A tall and sturdy middle-aged man had caught up with them. He was riding a purplish-red horse. His face was covered with dust, and there was a faint trace of impatience on his face, "Zhao Family's Lord, we're not far from Tian Xiang. So, there's no need to hurry like this, right? We've been in a state of apprehension along the way. So, our brothers are exhausted. The sky is dark, and it's difficult to travel at night. Moreover, it's very easy to change the situation. So, it would be better for us to find a place to rest for the night. Then, we'll continue our journey tomorrow morning. We're already two days ahead of schedule according to the previous deadline. So, we don't need to fight over the remaining time, right? "
