"I say, First Miss, what kind of magic did you cast on them? Can you tell me? "
Wang Chong suddenly teased.
The woman at his side had skin of ice and bones of jade, a curvaceous figure, and an elegant and refined appearance. Coupled with her cold and intelligent demeanor, even Wang Chong had to admit that she was a very attractive beauty, a beauty as exquisite as a snowy mountain or a white lotus.
"Magic?"
A hint of surprise and confusion flashed across Bai Siling's eyes. Then, as if she had understood something, she smiled.
"If I tell you, will you let me join you and share your gold?"
Bai Siling raised a finger and pointed at the chests of gold in Wang Chong's hands as she said with a smile. Sometimes, she really couldn't understand what this fellow was thinking.
Several hundred thousand gold taels was not a small sum. According to the rules, he could have swallowed it all.
But he was actually willing to share it with the cavalry under his command.
If this person wasn't a fool, then he had extremely high standards and was indifferent to money. But regardless of which it was, it made Bai Siling even more interested in this youth who was even younger than her.
"Hehe, a young miss of the Bai clan would be interested in a mere several hundred thousand gold taels?"
Wang Chong looked at Bai Siling with a faint smile.
"You knew my identity long ago."
Bai Siling's smile was crafty, as if she had known.
"You've already told me your name, so there are probably very few people who don't know."
Wang Chong didn't deny it.
"There's more than one Bai clan in the capital, right?"
"There's probably only one Bai clan that can enter the Longwei Training Camp, right?"
"Hehe, as expected of someone who can ride the White-hoofed Shadow bestowed by the royal family. Nothing can be hidden from you."
The last sentence caused the entire conversation to come to an abrupt end. Bai Siling had used the most unexpected method, catching Wang Chong off guard, to defeat Wang Chong.
The name 'White-hoofed Shadow' was enough to explain many problems. Although he did not expect his identity to be able to be hidden forever. However, the intelligence of the woman beside him was much greater than he had imagined.
"As expected of the Bai Family in the capital! They are indeed related by blood! "
Wang Chong thought of the Bai family's reputation in the outside world, and his heart was filled with emotion. That family had always been known for their shrewdness.
In the past, Wang Chong did not have much of a concept. But now, Wang Chong had a real taste of it.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Bai Siling was all smiles. Looking at the young man's stiff face, she suddenly felt a little proud.
This guy always seemed to have everything under his control and had a well-thought-out plan in his chest. It was not easy to scheme against him.
"At this point, are you still not going to tell me who you are?"
Bai Siling smiled.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Wang Chong suddenly regained his composure and said in a serious tone. He had reverted to his original appearance. As he spoke, he patted the back of his horse and immediately urged it to turn around, heading to the other side.
"Hey! You can't do this. "
Bai Siling panicked. "You know what I'm talking about!"
"I don't."
With his back to Bai Siling, Wang Chong's lips curled into a smile. This woman was too smart. It was not good for a woman to be too smart.
But no matter how smart a woman was, in the end, she could not win against a man.
"Damn it!"
Bai Siling gnashed her teeth. Looking at Wang Chong's back, she was so angry that she was about to go crazy. It was the same thing every time, pretending to be confused even though he knew what she was thinking.
But there was nothing she could do about it.
If Wang Chong did not admit it, nothing she said would be of any use.
"… However, if you want to share the gold with us, I'll take it as a yes."
Just as Bai Siling was on the verge of going berserk, a voice drifted over from afar. Hearing those words, Bai Siling's anger immediately turned into joy, and a gleeful smile crept onto her lips.
In the end, no matter how smart a woman was, she was still a woman.
Brat, at least you know your place!
Bai Siling urged her steed forward and quickly followed behind Wang Chong.
…
Xu Gan and Huang Yongtu had truly colluded with one another. When the two of them were exterminating the bandits, they had been working together. With the increase in their numbers, the success rate had also increased. It shouldn't be too much of a problem for them to complete the mission.
On the other hand, Wang Chong had also gained a lackey.
Using the words of Wang Chong's previous world, Bai Siling was only tagging along with him to gain experience.
Without the help of others, it would be difficult for Bai Siling to complete the mission alone. But Wang Chong couldn't care less.
In any case, he had already completed the first phase of the mission. Even if he was alone, he would still be exterminating bandits with an additional person.
Furthermore, the twenty True Martial realm veterans under Bai Siling would be of great help to him as well.
On top of that, Bai Siling was born with a sharp mind, and she was simply too intelligent. Wang Chong couldn't trust a lady from the Bai Clan to stay by Xu Gan and Huang Yongtu's side.
It would be better to leave a beautiful and intelligent demoness by his side.
…
Xiu xiu!
The two arrows contained boundless power that could pierce through metal and split stone. They flashed across the sky like bolts of lightning, catching up to the two bandits who were fleeing in panic. Pu pu sounds could be heard as the two bandits fell to the ground, pierced by the arrows. They tumbled down the cliff, and only after a long time did two muffled echoes resound through the air.
"I finally understand why Xu Gan and Huang Yongtu lost to you. Before thinking about victory, first think about defeat. Before the battle had even begun, you had already calculated where they would escape to. Even if Xu Gan and the others were to follow behind you, they wouldn't be able to see through your means. You simply have too many means hidden up your sleeves. — — It's not an injustice for them to lose. "
On the peak of the mountain, Bai Siling was standing on a jagged boulder. Looking down at the scene at the waist of the mountain, she shook her head, revealing her snow-white neck, and let out a long sigh.
When the two bandits were escaping, Bai Siling had been worrying for nothing, thinking that they had failed this mission. Heavens!
Who could have thought that two arrows would suddenly appear out of nowhere and claim their lives? Even now, Bai Siling was still unable to see where the two cavalrymen Wang Chong had arranged were hiding.
"Hehe, I knew I wouldn't be able to fool you."
Facing Bai Siling, Wang Chong placed his hands behind his back and chuckled lightly, as if he had expected it. Since he was with this lady from the Bai Clan, Wang Chong didn't think that he would be able to fool her with his means.
"A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and bandits have three means — hidden scouts, traps, and a means of retreat. Of which, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. As long as one observes the location of a bandit, one should be able to deduce their final means of retreat based on the terrain. All one has to do is to arrange a few master archers to wait there.
"It's Xu Gan and Huang Yongtu who have underestimated them. Knowing that the imperial army will come to encircle them regularly, how can they possibly survive here without some means? "
Wang Chong replied calmly. His tone was relaxed, and his expression was confident. His words carried a powerful charisma that made others subconsciously trust him.
Speaking to a smart lady like Bai Siling, Wang Chong was different from how he spoke to Xu Gan and Huang Yongtu.
Since he had accepted Bai Siling into his group, Wang Chong didn't think that he would be able to hide it from her.
"Your words sure are interesting. Means?"
Bai Siling turned around to look at Wang Chong's handsome face, and a hint of astonishment flashed across her eyes. Wang Chong's way of speaking and the words he used were different from ordinary people.
Even though she had never heard anyone use such words before, Bai Siling could still roughly understand what he was trying to say.
"However, it's easier said than done. Knowing the terrain of the bandits doesn't necessarily mean that one will be able to deduce their retreat route like you do. Even if Xu Gan and Huang Yongtu were to follow behind you and witness it with their own eyes, it would still be difficult for them to do so. In the end, it's all due to your own capability.
"Honestly speaking, even though you have been reluctant to reveal your identity, you are still a scion of a prestigious clan. I really can't understand how you, as a scion of a prestigious clan, know so much. I really can't understand how a scion of a prestigious clan like you could possibly know so much. The survival method of a bandit? This doesn't seem to be something that a scion of a prestigious clan would know, right? "
Bai Siling asked curiously. The more she interacted with this fellow, the more curious Bai Siling became. Many of the things that he spoke of were as simple as plain water, but in reality, they weren't easy to accomplish.
In the end, it wasn't that Xu Gan and Huang Yongtu were weak. In truth, their actions were extremely normal, befitting of their background. The one who was abnormal was this fellow.
For a fifteen-year-old young man to know so many things, and his actions were extremely mature and composed, wasn't it strange?
"Hehe, that's another story."
Wang Chong chuckled heartily, but he didn't satisfy Bai Siling's curiosity at all. No matter what, he wouldn't tell anyone about his reincarnation.
"Move!"
Wang Chong waved his hands, and the reserve cavalrymen leaped over the fence and charged into battle. The reverberations of the True Martial realm halo soon reverberated throughout the entire stronghold.
The consequence of recruiting a smart lady like Bai Siling to his side was that Wang Chong rarely resorted to tactics in battle, going straight for the kill.
In front of a woman like Bai Siling, it was best to hold back a little and hold back a little.
Furthermore, the forty True Martial realm cavalrymen from the two of them were more than enough to deal with most of their opponents.
In the end, bandits were still bandits. There was no way they could stand against these veterans.
"Be careful! — — "
Just as Zhang Xuan was deep in thought, an anxious bellow suddenly sounded. Chi! A cold glint flashed across the night sky, and a sharp crescent saber flashed across the night sky in a massive arc, heading straight for Wang Chong and Bai Siling.
That person had been hiding in the darkness for quite some time. It was only when he determined that Wang Chong and Bai Siling were the leaders of the cavalrymen that he slowly crept forward, bypassing the cavalrymen one after another, and swiftly made his move on the duo.
This strike was released after accumulating power, and it was extremely swift and fierce. As the saber flashed, even the air was sliced into two, leaving behind two massive slashes. The sharpness of the saber was such that even metal would be sliced apart, needless to say, flesh and blood.
