"This is …"
Hong Yi looked at the box of secret medicines and was secretly shocked. Just by looking at the name, he knew that these ointments, pills, and liquids were not something that could be made with ordinary medicinal ingredients and prescriptions on the market.
For example, the 'Leopard Fetus Tendon Pill' required the placenta of a ferocious female leopard on a snowy mountain. The placenta had to be taken out alive, then various precious medicinal ingredients were added and boiled for several months to become gelatinous. Then, it was rubbed into a pill, dried, and stored for ten years to allow the medicinal properties to gradually settle and stabilize.
This' Leopard Embryo Tendon Regeneration Pill ', when used, was boiled in water and smeared on the tendons and joints of the body. In just a few days, the tendons and joints would become tougher and more powerful, sweeping away the weakness. Moreover, there was no poison in it. It was a miraculous medicine that martial artists dreamed of, a miraculous medicine! Immortal medicine!
As for the 'Vajra Enlightenment Paste', it was even more magical. It was a type of butter. When practicing martial arts, this butter could be smeared on the body. The medicinal properties of the butter would seep into the skin, making it soft, tough, and firm.
There were many monks in the Daizen Temple whose skin was as hard as steel when they exerted their strength. After dispersing their strength, they would become as soft as cotton. This was the help of this elixir.
There was also the 'Tiger Bone Jade Marrow Paste', which used the bone marrow of a ferocious tiger as the main ingredient. After consuming it, the bones of the entire body would be as hard as steel!
Hong Yi also knew that when Hakuziyue practiced martial arts, he relied on this Tiger Bone Jade Marrow Paste to train his bones to be tough and break through the limits of the human body.
As for the 'Snow Ginseng Organ Nourishing Ointment', it was used to nourish the internal organs, kill bugs and diseases, strengthen the internal organs, and make them clean, compact, and firm. It was very beneficial for the cultivation of the internal organs.
As for the 'Bear Gall Strength Wine', it was also a miraculous medicinal wine that could reduce fat and strengthen muscles. If a Flesh Training martial artist drank this Bear Gall Strength Wine, then his body would be incomparably coordinated, tough, and strong. He could even defeat Martial Disciples and Martial Warriors.
In short, the medicinal ingredients in these white magnetic jars were all rare elixirs.
"This was found in the secret room where Liu Baiyun practiced martial arts in the White Cloud Manor. There were a total of three boxes. They must be the elixirs that Daluo had brought out. He had asked Liu Baiyun to come to the Central Province to train death warriors, experts! In order to develop his own forces, he conspired against the law. With these elixirs, in less than two years, he will definitely be able to nurture some top-notch experts. I reckon that in these three years, that Liu Baiyun is screening out those who are loyal to him. If he isn't eliminated, he will become a force to be reckoned with in two years! " Hou Qingchen said coldly, "When the Daizen Temple was annihilated, the entire Daizen Temple's hundred-odd Bhaisajyaguru Buddha Halls were looted by the Daluo."
"More than a hundred Medicine Buddha Grand Halls?"
Hong Yi's heart skipped a beat. Back then, the Daizen Temple's medicine was also famous throughout the world. The various doctor monks of the Bhaisajyaguru Buddha Hall were known to be able to "revive the dead and regrow flesh and bones". Among them, there were even monks who imitated Daoist priests in burning lead, mercury, gunpowder, and so on. It could be said that they were the culmination of the world's medical skills and alchemy.
How many elixirs would there be if they were all looted?
"Three boxes of elixirs, one for me, one for you, and one for Wang Ye." Hou Qingchen said and then ordered people to open the other three boxes. "In addition, I will give you three boxes of gifts, but they are other things. Please take a look."
Bang! The second box was opened. Hong Yi discovered that there were actually several sets of silver-gray soft armor. They looked soft and light. They looked like silk brocade, like armor, but not armor, like clothes, but not clothes.
"These are the top-grade Silver Shark Armors tanned by the Cloud Island Country in the East Sea. There are five sets in total. Although Brother's White Ox Armor is also an extremely strong armor that even light bows and crossbows can't penetrate, compared to this Silver Shark Armor, it's still lacking a lot. With your status, it is extremely inappropriate to wear it. Anyway, you are going to be an official in the army to win over people's hearts. The White Ox Armor will be a reward for the soldiers.
"Silver Shark Armor?"
Hong Yi exhaled softly. "This is an incredible item."
Shark skin was extremely tough. High-grade treasured swords were all made of shark skin as scabbards. In the distant sea, there was an extremely ferocious Silver Shark. Its entire body was silver-gray in color, and its skin was even tougher. It was difficult to be injured by blades and swords. After being tanned, it became a rare divine armor in the world.
The former sect master of the Peach God Path, Luo Tianyue's Heaven-shaking Seven Treasures, had a set of Demon Shark Armor. It was said that it was made from the skin of a thousand-year-old Silver Demon Shark.
There were dozens or even hundreds of island countries overseas. Among them, only the strongest warriors were qualified to wear the Silver Shark Armor. There was no other reason. It was because Silver Sharks were ferocious and hard to catch in the deep sea.
Ordinary fishing boats could be bitten through in one bite, and the ferocious Silver Sharks could even jump dozens of feet out of the water and bite the people on the ships into the water.
Usually, dozens or even hundreds of lives had to be sacrificed to catch a Silver Shark.
Hong Yi had once asked Luo Yun. In the Divine Wind Nation, the strongest warriors were the Silver Shark Warriors. There were only three hundred of them, and they were the elites of the nation. They were the strongest warriors who protected the royal family.
Hou Qingchen patted again, and a warrior carrying a box nodded and swiftly put on the Silver Shark Armor. This Silver Shark Armor was more like a set of clothes than an armor. It was a tight-fitting outfit, long pants, shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads, leggings, and even gloves. After putting on the set, the warrior's entire body was silver-gray, and he looked majestic. He had a biting cold killing intent and was invulnerable.
The warrior wearing the Silver Shark Armor walked out of the courtyard. Another warrior pulled a 120 jin bow and fiercely pulled it back. An arrow shot out from fifty steps away.
Puchi! When the arrow hit the Silver Shark Armor and fiercely pierced into it, it actually slanted, as if it had hit an oil stone and slid off. It didn't penetrate the armor, but the huge impact of the arrow made the warrior take a few steps back. His face was a little pale, and he couldn't catch his breath.
At the same time, another warrior took out a sharp and shiny steel long saber and slashed a few times on the warrior's body. They only left a few scratches on the clothes, and with a wipe, the scratches were erased, and the clothes were as clean as new.
"It's almost comparable to Murong Yan's Lead Gold Body." Hong Yi and Mu The Younger looked at each other, and they were both amazed at the powerful defense of the Silver Shark Armor.
"One box is filled with spirit herbs, and the other box is filled with Silver Shark Armor." Hou Qingchen also looked at the Silver Shark Armor with envy. "There are two more boxes, open them!"
Peng! Peng!
The other two boxes were opened one after another. One of the boxes was filled with black shark-skinned sabers, and there were about twenty of them.
Hong Yi picked up a saber and pulled it out with a swoosh. The saber's body flashed, and there was a thread-like pattern on it. There were circles of thread-like texture on it. It was actually a rebar knife that was a grade better than fine steel.
He plucked a strand of hair, put it on the saber's edge, and gently blew on it. Clang! The hair was cut into two pieces.
"This is a saber made of rotten silver rebar. Although it can't compare to the Heaven Ladder pattern, Ice Crack, and Chrysanthemum pattern, these three divine weapons, it is still rare in the army. Younger Brother's sword seems to be a divine weapon made of chrysanthemum pattern steel. But the subordinates all use ordinary steel sabers to fight on the battlefield. It's hard to avoid mistakes. Moreover, after Younger Brother joins the army, you must be loyal. Reward him with this saber, and it will be a family heirloom for generations to come. It guarantees that the rewarded person will be loyal. "
Hou Qingchen pointed at the box of sabers and said, "When other princes and nobles' disciples join the army, they reward them with boxes and bring them out to buy people's hearts when they lead the army. The key to training an army is first prestige, and second is kindness. Without prestige, others will not submit to you. But with prestige, without rewards, there will be mutiny. Only by using kindness and might, will the soldiers work for you and be loyal. "
"These are all priceless advice for leading an army."
Hong Yi nodded.
He recalled that when Hong Xi joined the army, it was rumored that other than the experts from his family, he also brought hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy a large amount of armor and high-quality weapons. It was used to reward and encourage people, to motivate the soldiers to the point that they would immediately slit their throats and commit suicide.
The Da Qian Dynasty had millions of soldiers, and the annual rations and salaries were a huge bottomless hole. Therefore, in an ordinary army, armor, weapons, food, and salaries were all very low. It was impossible to rely on the compensation and salaries from the Ministry of War to get soldiers to work for them. To bring out a strong soldier, one had to privately reward them with taels of silver to feed them.
This was also an unwritten rule among the princes and nobles of the Da Qian Dynasty.
Without money, there was no way to lead an army and gain merit.
When Hong Yi left, he borrowed three thousand taels of gold from Murong Yan with the same thought in mind.
As for the other chest, it was filled with glittering gold.
They were all thumb-sized gold biscuits. The biscuits were printed with the words "Treasures of the Da Qian", and the title "Ning Xi" was printed on the back. This was the title of the current Qian Emperor.
"There are three hundred catties of gold biscuits here, a total of four thousand eight hundred taels. Little Brother, escort them on the road so that they can be used in the future." Hou Qingchen pointed at the gold in the box and said, "Also. The horses of Little Brother's subordinates. I changed them to the Treasure Yellow Colt, that Night Illuminating Jade Lion Horse. I originally wanted to give it to Wang Ye, but I remembered that Wang Ye didn't like white horses in the past. I rode that horse, and it was too ostentatious. It was easy to be impeached by the imperial censors, so it was better to give it to Little Brother. In any case, it was Little Brother's spoils of war. "
"If that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony." Hong Yi looked at the box of gold. He knew that Hou Qingchen had just destroyed the White Cloud Manor and obtained a huge amount of gold and silver. This batch of gold biscuits was definitely part of the wealth. Naturally, a portion of it should be given to him. There was no harm in accepting it. As for the Night Illuminating Jade Lion Horse, Hong Yi reckoned that it would be good to give it to someone else in the future.
"I obtained the box of treasures from the Black Sparrow Manor. Ten thousand taels of silver, forty catties of pure gold seals, and a box of jewelry. That's about forty to fifty thousand taels of silver. Now, these four thousand eight hundred taels of gold, after exchanging, would be about fifty to sixty thousand taels of silver. In addition to the three thousand taels of gold from Murong Yan. In other words, I am now a rich man with a net worth of one hundred and thirty to forty thousand taels. "
Hong Yi secretly calculated his wealth.
"Those pure gold seals and jewelry are not easy to sell. Why don't I exchange them all in Wu Yuansheng City?" As Hong Yi thought about it, he told Hou Qingchen about the box of treasures he obtained from the Black Sparrow Manor.
"Hmm? Younger Brother, you actually obtained the Crown Prince's stolen tributes when you exterminated the bandits? What good luck. "Hou Qingchen listened and nodded." Those things are indeed not easy to sell. Even if I exchange them for silver, it'll be clean. How about this, you bring the jewelry and the pure gold seals to the accountant's office. Estimate it and I'll exchange it for you at the market price. "
"That's good." Hong Yi was satisfied.
"Younger Brother, you have too few people with you. Although that Mister Chi is an Innate Stage master, two fists are no match for four hands. Recently, the southern pirates and pirates have been rampant. With thousands of soldiers and horses charging at them, it's hard to avoid accidents. I have a few people that you can still use. What do you think? "Hou Qingchen said again.
"What people?" Hong Yi picked up his chopsticks and ate a mouthful of food. Then, he picked up some food for Mu The Younger beside him.
"Bring them in!" Hou Qingchen's face changed into a cold smile. After a while, an angry shout came from outside. "Go! Go! "At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of iron shackles.
In the courtyard, a group of soldiers escorted five people with disheveled hair. They wore heavy wooden shackles and their feet were tied with iron shackles that weighed tens of kilograms. As soon as they entered, the soldiers used their spears to poke the backs of the five people. "Kneel!"
However, the five of them refused to kneel. Someone kicked them in the kneecaps, forcing them to half-kneel on the ground.
Hong Yi looked at them and knew that these five people were highly skilled in martial arts. However, they were tortured and exhausted.
"These five people are called the Five Elders of the White Cloud. They were recruited by that traitor Liu Baiyun and kept in the manor as thugs. During the siege of the White Cloud Manor, they were surrounded by the army and surrendered. I didn't kill them. In fact, according to the Da Qian Law, all of them will end up being skinned and planted with grass! "
Hou Qingchen's icy cold words caused the bodies of these five people to tremble.
"Do you want to live or die?"
"Even ants want to live. Of course, we want to live," said a middle-aged man with disheveled hair.
"It's good that you want to live. I'll give you a way out. I'll tattoo your faces and send you to the army to be slaves under Younger Brother Hong. If you perform meritorious deeds, your punishment will naturally be reduced. If you continue to be lawless, Younger Brother Hong will punish you according to military law. "
When Hong Yi heard this, he knew that these five people were the experts of the White Cloud Manor. During the siege, Hong Yi also saw that these five people were highly skilled. Their attacks were as fast as lightning. They were the Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles, top-notch Martial Masters like Zhao Han.
These top-notch Martial Masters were very skilled. It was no wonder that Hou Qingchen was reluctant to kill them and sent them to the army.
"You guys are so skilled. What did you guys do?"
Hong Yi asked.
"The three of us are disciples of the Taiyi Sect. One of them is from the Clear Sky Sect and the other is from the Shaoyang Sect. We are here to sell the Daluo's face and serve the White Cloud Manor."
One of them said angrily.
"What Taiyi Sect? Clear Sky Sect? Shaoyang Sect? These messed up things. "Hong Yi snorted.
"Younger Brother, you may not know this, but these sects used to be famous martial arts sects in the Central Province. Although they don't dare to openly open their sects and accept disciples, they secretly collude with the local gentry to control the underworld. They have established aristocratic families and opened up Taoist temples to burn incense and practice martial arts. They are very hateful. In the thirteen provinces of the Central Province, there are no less than hundreds of such sects within a seven to eight thousand mile radius. This Taiyi Sect, Clear Sky Sect, and Shaoyang Sect are the biggest among them. Their hidden strength cannot be underestimated. "
Hou Qingchen explained to Hong Yi.
"Got it."
Hong Yi nodded and looked at the five people. "I don't care which sect you are from. Now that you have been sent to the army, you must set up rules. In the future, you will naturally be able to get away with your crimes. Even if you are thousands of miles away, you may not be able to escape. Even if you are a thousand miles away, do you think you can escape? "
As he said that, Hong Yi slapped his hand on the table. A green light curled up and down like lightning.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Clang! Clang! Clang! The wooden shackles, iron chains, and shackles that were touched by the green light were all broken.
In a few breaths, the green light flew back. Hong Yi opened his eyes and saw the five worshippers kneeling in shock. He was very satisfied. What he did just now was naturally a show of strength.
This show of strength shocked them so much that they did not dare to act recklessly.
After resting for three to five days, Chi Zhuiyang's injuries were completely healed. Only then did Hong Yi continue his journey to the south.
Hong Yi and the others traveled for a few days and arrived at Yellow Millet Town, an important town on the border between the seven southern provinces and the Central Province. The news that the White Cloud Village had been destroyed and the Daluo Saintess Zhao Feirong had been killed by Hou Qingchen and his troops had also secretly reached the ears of the Daluo, the Hong Residence of the Jade Capital, and even the Crown Prince!
The well-informed nobles and ministers also knew a little about it.
This was like a mountain smashing into the sea, secretly bringing up monstrous waves!
However, the person involved, Hong Yi, was not affected because he had already discussed with Hou Qingchen and did not mention him in the memorials to the imperial court.
The memorials were written by Hong Yi and Hou Qingchen. They only mentioned that the White Cloud Village colluded with bandits, shared the profits, hid bows and armor, and trained suicide soldiers. They plotted against the law and were annihilated. And the Daluo Saintess Zhao Feirong was among them. She resisted the army and was also killed.
In the memorials, there was not a single word mentioning Hong Yi.
The reason why Hong Yi did this was because he knew that his foundation was too shallow. If the news that he killed Zhao Feirong was spread out, he would probably not be able to walk out of Wu Yuansheng and be surrounded and killed endlessly.
And Hou Qingchen was also happy to take this credit. In any case, he was a second-rank provincial inspector with a strong backing. The destruction of the White Cloud Village was to strike a blow to the Daluo. In for a penny, in for a pound.
"Today and tomorrow. We will rest in Yellow Millet Town. After passing through Yellow Millet Town and the ancient road of the Southern Province, we will truly enter the south. This place is also different from the Central Province. This is the true power of the Daluo. We must be careful. "
The sky was close to dusk. Hong Yi and the others were riding horses and pulling carriages. From afar, they saw an extremely prosperous town and knew that they had arrived at "Yellow Millet Town".
This Yellow Millet Town was connected to the ancient road of the Central Province and the ancient road of the Southern Province. Merchants from all directions gathered here. In terms of prosperity and liveliness, it was no less than a large city in a province.
"Good, these two Lion Kings have become grey mastiffs again. The Jade Lion Kings have also become grey lions. They need to take a bath. "Chi Zhuiyang rode on the Jade Lion Horse and looked at the dust on the two Lion Kings and shook his head.
At this time, Hong Yi's group had grown a lot. There were five carriages and seventeen people. Five of them had golden tattoos on their faces. The people driving the carriages were all top-notch Martial Masters. They looked a little like the children of nobles.
"What! Fei Rong met with misfortune? "
In Marquis Wu Wen's residence, Hong Xuanji, this Wu Sheng Marquis, the Grand Preceptor of the Da Qian, an unfathomable person, was resting with his eyes closed in the Langhuan Book House. Suddenly, Hong Xi walked in and handed him a letter.
After reading the letter, Hong Xuanji suddenly stood up. The embroidered clothes on his body fluttered without any wind. The ground that was as hard as iron cracked and the surrounding bookshelves collapsed with a loud rumble!
Just the power of this standing up seemed to cause the entire study to be bombarded by thunder and fire.
