"Ugh … ugh …"
Jiang Feng Lie tightly held onto the blade of the Burning Prairie Sword. Blood flowed down from his chest along the blade, but it quickly evaporated on the Burning Prairie Sword. He raised his head and looked at Lin Mu Yu unwillingly. With a trembling voice, he said, "What kind of power is this … to be able to break my wind blade so easily?"
Lin Muyu didn't say anything. She flipped the blade lightly, and Jiang Fenglie immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
…
"Bang!"
Jiang Fenglie's body fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. His death meant that the Tianjing Mercenary Group had disappeared from the world.
"Jiang Fenglie is dead. Why don't you surrender now?!"
Luo Yu rode her horse and galloped across the square, shouting loudly. Immediately, the mercenaries put down their weapons one by one, giving up their last resistance. However, the House of Chivalry's Imperial Capital Headquarters could not be considered a complete victory. Two Golden Venerable Rangers had died in battle, and many Silver and Bronze Venerable Ones had also died.
"Creak …"
The gold-plated cellar door opened. Luo Yu held onto the door and looked at the group behind him. He smiled. "Master Lin Yan, aren't you coming with me to see the treasures that Jiang Fenglie collected in his lifetime?"
"Sure."
Lin Muyu followed Luo Yu into the cellar. A lone warrior walked in front with a torch. The cellar was very deep, and there was a moldy smell. However, when the lone warrior opened the second door with the key found on Jiang Fenglie's body, he saw a bright golden light. The cellar of the Golden Palace wasn't big. It was about 50 square meters, but it was filled with gold coins. Under the light of the torch, the gold coins shone with an alluring luster.
Luo Yu was slightly taken aback. He walked forward and fished through the boxes filled with gold coins. Then, gold coins fell out one by one. He muttered, "Each box has at least 1,000 Gold Hub Coins. This … this Jiang Fenglie has been working hard for so many years. There are at least 100 boxes of Gold Hub Coins here!"
Lin Muyu snickered. Actually, 100 boxes of Jin Yin Coins were only 100,000 Jin Yin Coins, and she had 380,000 Jin Yin Coins in her Cosmos Sack. When it came to wealth, she was still the wealthier one.
"Sir Game Envoy, look over here!"
The Loose Knight was holding a gold-plated iron box. The lid of the box had already been opened, and inside the box was a pile of diamond coins, sparkling and resplendent.
"It's actually diamond coins!" Luo Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "There are at least 200 diamond coins. It seems that Jiang Fenglie has indeed plundered a lot of good things."
Luo Yu nodded and ordered, "Seal these diamond coins and prepare to hand them over to the main altar."
"Wait."
The corners of Lin Muyu's mouth curled up, revealing a sinister smile. "Luo Yu, are you really planning to hand over these diamond coins to the headquarters? I'm afraid this will only make Ji Yang more aggressive, won't it? "
Luo Yu was stunned, "Lin Yan, what do you mean?"
"We'll stay." Lin Muyu looked at the unaffiliated warrior. She had already made up her mind to kill him. She definitely couldn't let him leak out the situation here.
Luo Yu waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, he's my confidant. There won't be any problems. Sir Lin Yan, are we really going to keep these diamond coins for ourselves? "
"Yes."
Lin Muyu's gaze was resolute. "If we give this money to Ji Yang, it will only make him more aggressive in his recruitment. The Hall of Chivalry will become stronger and stronger, and it will be a nightmare for the common people. I think you've seen how the Hall of Chivalry treats the common people."
Luo Yu clenched her teeth and said, "Alright, then let's split these diamond coins in half. You and I will each take half. How about that?"
"Alright!"
Hence, they quickly divided the loot. There was a total of 228 diamond coins, and Lin Muyu and Luo Yu took half each. Luo Yu used a cloth bag to wrap the diamond coins tightly and kept them in his arms, while Lin Muyu threw the 114 diamond coins directly into his Cosmos Sack and easily stuffed the bag into his arms. Luo Yu did not even know where he had hidden the money.
"Sir, there's a pile of weapons here!" the unaffiliated warrior shouted again.
Under the light of the torches, there was a pile of weapons at the back of the box filled with Jin Ying coins. They glowed with different colors, and some of the weapons had beast souls roaring. Lin Muyu was an expert. She walked up and picked up a sword. She weighed it in her hand and said, "It's around Rank Three Spirit Grade, not bad … And that spear is Rank Four Profound Grade. It's a weapon that's been refined. It's the best weapon in this pile."
Luo Yu smiled as if she had found a treasure. "Even the worst of these weapons are Superior Grade weapons. Hahaha … That idiot Jiang Fenglie. He had such good weapons but he didn't use them. No wonder the Tian Jin mercenary group was easily taken down by us."
Lin Muyu said lightly, "Maybe he just saw these weapons as wealth, not weapons to kill."
"Mm, what should we do with these weapons?"
"Hand them over to the headquarters. They're not that good anyway."
"Hmm …" Luo Yu was still hesitant. He didn't know that Lin Muyu was a blacksmith master. She didn't like the weapons here at all. On the contrary, he was reluctant to part with them. But there was nothing he could do. These weapons were not like diamond coins. It was too easy to find them. If Ji Yang found out that he kept them for himself, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Not long after, a large group of rangers entered the cellar and moved all the Jin Ying coins and weapons up. Lin Muyu and Luo Yu returned to the surface and watched quietly.
Although many people had died, the people of the House of Chivalry still seemed to be overjoyed. It was as if the deaths of those who fought with them didn't matter at all.
After dusk, 200 people were left to guard the North Mountain. The other 1000 people escorted the captives and the spoils of war back to the headquarters. Torches flickered in the night sky. Even Jiang Fenglie's body was put on the carriage and dragged back. The leader of the Tian Jin mercenary group had become a kind of spoils of war. He had dominated for a lifetime, but he ended up like this.
… …
"Dang, dang, dang …"
The sound of gongs and drums could be heard from the top of the mountain of the House of Chivalry's headquarters. Many people had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. When they saw the carts of Jinyin coins, almost everyone's eyes lit up.
The carriages went up the mountain. The empty space outside the headquarters was filled with people. Suddenly, the crowd moved and made a path. Ji Yang and Li Qianxun walked over. Ji Yang laughed and said, "Luo Yu, Ambassador You Yi, Lin Yan, and Jin Zun really didn't let us down. It seems that you've brought back Jiang Fenglie's head, right?"
"Yes."
Luo Yu cupped his fists and said, "It was Lord Lin Yan who defeated Jiang Fenglie, but … Lord Long Yan, Jin Zun, was killed by Jiang Fenglie. Lord Fang Xin, Jin Zun, also died in the chaotic battle. Other than that, we also lost 3 Silver Venerables, 11 Bronze Venerables, 34 Iron Venerables, 55 Venerables, and more than 300 lone warriors. This battle was a heavy loss."
"Long Yan and Fang Xin both died in battle?"
Ji Yang showed a trace of displeasure. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "The mercenaries on the North Mountain plundered everywhere and committed all kinds of crimes. We eliminated the Tian Jin Mercenary Group for the sake of the people. Long Yan and Fang Xin, the two Jin Zun's deaths were not in vain. Tomorrow morning, we will hold a grand funeral for them!"
"Yes, Ambassador You Yi!"
"Also, how many things did you bring back?" Ji Yang's eyes lit up. "What kind of treasures are hidden in the Flowing Gold Palace?"
Luo Yu pointed behind her and said, "We've already brought back all the treasures from the Flowing Gold Palace. Ambassador You Yi, please count them one by one."
"Good! Good! "
Ji Yang said 'good' twice when he saw the carts full of Jin Yin Coins. When he saw the carts full of fine weapons, he laughed and said, "Our House of Chivalry was just worrying about not having fine weapons for the Silver and Bronze Venerables. Now we have them, hahaha …"
Li Qianxun cupped her fists and laughed. "Congratulations, Ambassador You Yi. With Jiang Fenglie's death, your greatest worry has been removed. From now on, no one around the Dragon Forest will dare to make the House of Chivalry an enemy."
Ji Yang was overjoyed. He looked at Lin Muyu and said, "Brother Lin Yan, you've helped the House of Chivalry eliminate Jiang Fenglie. This is a great merit. I will send a letter to the Lingnan Headquarter to discuss your promotion to Ambassador You. Also, Brother Lin Yan's expenses will be raised to the level of Ambassador You Yi."
Luo Yu, Li Qianxun, and the others cupped their fists and congratulated him.
Lin Muyu smiled and responded to them one by one.
After that, a group of rogue warriors set up a bonfire and slaughtered a dozen sheep to roast. Ji Yang ordered the carts of Jin Yin Coins to be pushed into the Headquarter Hall. As Ambassador You Yi, Luo Yu, and Lin Muyu were naturally called in as well.
The commotion outside did not affect the peace inside the Headquarter Hall. Ji Yang held onto the armrest of his chair, his eyes gleaming. "I heard that recently, the Capital Chamber of Commerce has been selling quite a few decent weapons. Moreover, Lord Lin Yan was recommended by Miss Jin Xiaotang to the House of Chivalry. Looks like it's time for us to buy another batch of weapons and warhorses from the Capital Chamber of Commerce."
Luo Yu mumbled, "Ambassador You Yi wants to expand the army?"
Ji Yang nodded. "That's right … Although the House of Chivalry is located in the Dragon-Seeking Forest, far away from the Emperor and no one can control us, I've heard rumors that the Imperial Guard Commander Feng Jixing has been eyeing the House of Chivalry for a long time. Once he leads 10,000 Imperial Guards to attack us, I'm afraid the House of Chivalry will disappear from the Imperial Capital."
As he spoke, Ji Yang slammed his fist on the table. "We need to replenish our rations, warhorses, and weapons as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won't be able to fight against the Imperial Guards!"
Lin Muyu was stunned when she heard that. It was true. The House of Chivalry was indeed planning to become the Empire's enemy. However, with just this amount of military strength … it seemed to be far from enough. Feng Jixing's Imperial Army could easily flatten this mountain with just ten thousand men.
She did not think too much about it and returned to her room after the meeting.
…
However, just as Lin Muyu returned to the courtyard, she heard the screams and curses of young girls coming from inside. The strong smell of alcohol filled her nose.
No, something had happened!
He quickly kicked open the door, only to see that the two Scattered Warriors guarding the door had already been knocked unconscious. The light in the room was dim, and a Ranger with a golden glow on his shoulder was pressing Hong Yu down on the bed. However, he did not succeed. Hong Yu used all her strength to kick with her legs, causing the Golden Exalt Ranger to be extremely angry. He raised his hand and slapped Hong Yu, shouting angrily, "If Ling Yan doesn't want you, then let me have you. What's wrong with that?
