…
Under the strong wind, the paraglider carried Søren and more than a hundred people for a few kilometers before they slowly landed under the effect of gravity.
In order to land earlier, they had to use all their strength to pull down.
Among these people, all of them knew martial arts. Even Suo Ningbing, who looked weak, was at the level of a trainee warrior. After all, she had been enlightened in martial arts.
Therefore, no one was injured when they fell. Of course, slight scratches were nothing to them.
However, because they flew too far, when they landed, they were scattered.
Søren took the bow on his back and shot an arrow into the sky. Then, the arrow suddenly exploded in the air, spraying countless red powder.
This signal arrow ordered everyone to gather around him.
Within a quarter of an hour, Suo Ningbing, Ye Jingyu, and more than a hundred family warriors gathered.
At this time, everyone looked at Søren in amazement. Especially Suo Ningbing and Ye Jingyu, they were girls and had a natural romantic yearning for flying. They often imagined that they could become birds, soar in the sky, and look down at the earth from the sky.
At this time, Søren helped them achieve it.
Although it was very thrilling at the beginning, because they needed to jump from a cliff hundreds of meters high, the feeling of falling was more terrifying.
However, when the paraglider was fully unfolded, everything became very wonderful.
The feeling of flying was not very fast, and it was very stable.
To be honest, if it was not for the urgency of time, Suo Ningbing would have wanted to stay in the sky for a while longer.
When she saw Søren for the first time, she almost blurted out in her heart, "Next time, I want to fly again, and I want you to fly with me."
Because when she was in the sky, she really imagined that it would be great if only she and Søren shared a paraglider, or even hugged in his arms.
Thinking of this scene, even Suo Ningbing's heart was numb.
And the eyes of the family warriors looking at Søren were full of fanaticism and admiration. It seemed that all their worship of Suo Hanyi had been transferred to Søren.
Seeing this, Sauron secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Perhaps the plan of survival was not killing two birds with one stone, but three birds with one stone. Gaining the absolute loyalty of the family warriors in front of him was the third gain.
"I believe that everyone has heard the bet between me and Prince Zhi Li, to recapture Tianshui City within five months." Søren said loudly, "If we still haven't recaptured Tianshui City after half a year, everyone should know what will happen."
If there was a rebellion in the feudal vassal's territory and the feudal vassal was unable to suppress it, the royal family had the right and obligation to send troops to help.
Therefore, if Soran could not take back the territory in half a year, the kingdom's army would enter Sky Water City in the name of quelling the rebellion.
And at that time, the Suo clan would lose Tianshui City forever, and Søren would also lose everything.
"And how many enemies will we face?" Søren said, "There are rebels led by Nurdan, secret elites of Zhi Ning, and Suo Hanyi. These three forces will add up to more than 30,000 troops. "
It was at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops. In order to secretly control Tianshui City, Zhi Ning would definitely station the secret army they raised in Tianshui City.
"And how many people do we have?" Søren asked, "We only have 100 people."
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the people present, who had been extremely excited because of the flight, suddenly became cold.
One hundred people, in five months, to defeat 20,000 to 30,000 troops and recapture Tianshui City, this was really more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Søren said, "Within five months, we need to gather at least 20,000 elite troops, and we need 150,000 gold coins to suppress the rebellion."
As soon as these words came out, the people present almost couldn't breathe. This was an even more impossible goal.
Zhi Ning and Zhi Li spent a total of 100,000 gold coins to plan the rebellion in Tianshui City. And this money was only used to arm and reward the 30,000 rebels of Nurdan and others.
But Søren needed to gather 20,000 troops from scratch, and he also needed this army to suppress the rebellion, so at least 150,000 gold coins were needed.
So how much was 150,000 gold coins? It was the tax of the Southeast Province for nearly a year, and one-tenth of the annual tax of the whole Raging Wave Kingdom.
War had always been a gold-swallowing monster. One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins was the minimum he needed.
"Jing Yu, how many gold coins do we have now?" Søren asked.
"800," Ye Jingyu said.
Now Søren only had 800 gold coins left.
Before dismissing the servants, arming the 100 knights, and making more than 100 paragliders cost nearly 3,000 gold coins.
And from King's City to White Cloud County, they changed horses almost every two or three hundred miles. Although they exchanged old horses for new ones, it still cost more than 2,000 gold coins.
Therefore, from the thousands of gold coins that Søren earned, there were now only 800 gold coins left.
Søren asked, "So in the next five months, we need to use these 800 gold coins to earn 150,000 gold coins and gather 20,000 troops. Are you confident?"
Everyone's heart was completely cold. Not to mention no confidence, they didn't even dare to think about it. In their dreams, it couldn't be achieved.
"You don't have confidence, but … I do." Søren pointed to his head and said, "I have confidence, I even have a card up my sleeve. All you need to do is to follow behind me and obey my orders. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked again.
Including Suo Ningbing and Ye Jingyu, 150,000 gold coins was an astronomical figure. Duke Fang Ting had been in business for half his life, and the gold coins he had on hand were no more than 100,000 gold coins.
Now, Søren actually said that he wanted to earn 150,000 gold coins in five months. This was completely shocking. This amount of money was the sum of taxes of a province and millions of people in a year. Even if they robbed the treasury, they wouldn't be able to get such an astronomical figure.
However, no one thought that Søren was talking nonsense. Because just now, he had performed a miracle. Surrounded by 10,000 troops, he was unscathed and flew to the sky. And in the past few months, he had performed more than one miracle.
Søren said, "Now, Linhai City is our new battlefield. From now on, you will follow behind me and perform another miracle. You don't need to do anything, just obey, obey, obey! "
"Yes." Suo Mu knelt on one knee.
"Yes." All the family warriors drew their swords and knelt on one knee.
"Let's go to Linhai City!" Søren ordered.
Immediately, hundreds of family warriors lined up neatly and headed towards Linhai City, which was more than 200 miles away.
…
More than 100 people ran for half a day and night. They ran more than 200 miles on foot.
The situation along the way was a little strange because Linhai City didn't send out any troops to receive them, nor did they stop them.
It was as if the entire Linhai City didn't know about Søren's team.
However, this was impossible. Because Søren's team had a total of 100 people, and they had passed through many villages and small towns.
It was impossible for his cheap father-in-law, Gui Xingfu, not to know that he was coming, but he pretended not to know.
This was not a good sign.
Moreover, the sudden destruction of the suspension bridge on Nujiang was even more strange.
This was a giant suspension bridge that was more than 100 meters long and a few hundred meters high. One had to know that it cost a lot of money and lives to build this suspension bridge. Moreover, there was only one suspension bridge in this stretch of Nujiang for more than 100 miles.
Perhaps his father-in-law, as well as his fiancée, did not welcome his arrival.
After all, a few months ago, he received a letter from his fiancée, Gui Qinshao. If he dared to mention her name again, she would kill Søren.
But all this was not unexpected. Before Søren came to Linhai City, he was prepared to not be welcomed.
However, fighting with the heavens was endless joy, fighting with the earth was endless joy, fighting with people was endless joy. Not to mention with his father-in-law and fiancée.
…
At daybreak, Søren led the team and arrived outside Linhai City.
The huge city in front was Linhai City, which belonged to his fiancée's family. Like the Suo clan, the Gui clan was also a half-independent feudal power of the kingdom.
Linhai City had a circumference of more than 10 miles and a population of 90,000, slightly smaller than Tianshui City.
Looking at the tall city walls, the family warriors present could not help but feel perturbed and uneasy.
Previously, when they were surrounded at the top of the mountain, they only thought of breaking out of the encirclement, escaping alive, and entering Linhai City.
Now, Linhai City was right in front of them. Everyone started to worry about whether Linhai City Lord Gui Xingfu would be willing to take them in? Would he be willing to help? Would he even hit them when they were down and kill them?
"Master, you hide first and send someone to the city gate to shout. In case Linhai City does something wrong, your life will not be in danger," Suo Mu said.
"I'll go into the city to find out the actual situation first," Suo Ningbing said, "I'm a woman, will no one do anything to me?"
Søren shook his head and said with a smile, "No worries."
Then, he went straight to Linhai City's city gate and shouted loudly, "The kingdom's count, Tianshui City Lord, Suo clan's lord, Søren, comes to pay a visit to Father-in-law!"
At this time, there were many people coming and going in and out of the city. Hearing Søren's words, he was immediately startled and looked at him with wide eyes.
So this person was Søren, the famous hedonistic prodigal in the entire Raging Wave Kingdom.
Because Linhai City was isolated by Nu River, news was relatively blocked. Furthermore, the capital was a good few thousand miles away from here, so Søren's stunning performance in the capital had not spread here yet. In everyone's hearts, Søren was still that infamous prodigal.
And their city lord's daughter, Gui Qinshao, whether it was looks, temperament, or figure, she was a great beauty that could not be found among ten thousand. Not only that, she also had a very high dragon bloodline talent, so her martial arts cultivation was also very outstanding among her peers.
Such an outstanding beauty was actually going to marry a hedonistic like Søren, it was completely a fresh flower stuck on cow dung.
Furthermore, there were rumors that the Suo Clan was already finished, their territories were all occupied by the rebel army.
Who would have thought that the hedonistic Søren would actually survive. However, even if he survived, he had already lost everything and was reduced to a stray dog. There was a good saying, a phoenix on the ground was inferior to a chicken!
After hearing this, the warriors on the city wall were startled and carefully looked at Søren who was below the city gate. He had never seen this famous hedonistic son, but he knew that he was very beautiful. And although this young man in front of him looked a little disheveled, he was indeed very beautiful, very similar to the rumored Søren.
Therefore, the chief warrior on the city wall did not dare to act on his own and said, "Please wait for a moment, I will go to the city lord's residence to report."
After saying that, he quickly rushed down the city wall, rode a fast horse, and rushed to the city lord's residence as fast as he could.
Next, it was a slightly perturbed wait.
Very soon, he would see his cheap father-in-law, and also his fiancée, Gui Qinshao. The fiancée who kept saying that she wanted to kill him, the former number one beauty of the capital's academy.
Count Gui Xingfu, the city lord of Linhai City, did not let Søren wait for too long. In less than half an hour, he appeared at the city gate.
"My dear nephew, my poor nephew!"
Before seeing him, he had already heard his voice.
