"Eight Silver Moon Guards?" Hong Yi looked at the eight girls who were less than twenty years old, neatly lined up. Their heads were slightly lowered, and their feet were lined up in a straight line. His eyes swept over them for a long time, and his heart was very satisfied.
He knew that Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue's souls were currently under his control. With one thought, he could make their souls fly away and scatter, so they didn't dare to play any tricks. Therefore, these eight girls should all be reliable. At the very least, they should be much more reliable than the girls he bought from the South Province's purchasing office, and also much more stable.
What Hong Yi lacked the most right now was manpower. Even washing clothes and cooking food needed Mu The Younger to do it himself. Buying a few girls, but not feeling at ease, was indeed very difficult.
These eight Silver Moon Guards were all very skilled, and had received very strict training. Not only could they wash clothes and cook, but they could also act as bodyguards. They were the most suitable candidates to serve Mu The Younger.
"The five small ironclad airships with eighty people are at the port of Lake Tai." Hua Nongying looked at Hong Yi, thought for a moment, and said: "Young Master Hong, can we sisters talk to you alone?"
"Talk alone? Sure. "
Hong Yi said to Mu The Younger and Chi Zhuiyang next to him: "You guys go out for a moment, I want to talk to the two Hall Masters."
Mu The Younger smiled, picked up the Golden Spider that was bathing in the milk basin and walked out. Chi Zhuiyang looked deeply at Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue, and also went out.
"Young Master Hong, how about we make another deal?" Hua Nongying clapped her hands, letting the eight Silver Moon Guards go out. In the entire room, only Hong Yi and the other two were left.
"What deal?" Seeing that there were only three people left in the room, Hong Yi sat on a chair and looked at Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue, his eyes flashing.
"Young Master Hong, your thoughts are in our sister's soul. As long as you use your mind, won't you know what we are thinking?" Why do you still ask when you already know the answer? "Hua Nonyin sat down as well. She played with an exquisite white jade swan-shaped ring on her finger.
"I don't peep into your souls." Hong Yi raised his head.
He used his thoughts in the souls of the two Flower Moon Hall Masters of Yaochi school. Indeed, as long as he used his mind, he could know what these two women were thinking.
"Young Master Hong, your name is Hong Yi, right? Your father is the Marquis of Martial Wen, Grand Preceptor Hong. You weren't well received at home, so you relied on Prince Yu. Now, you're out to gain military merits and gain experience for a year to add weight to your resume. Then, you'll pass the imperial examination and be promoted. However, we don't know that Young Master has been hiding his strength. You've secretly cultivated dao techniques and reached the realm of an expert. You even joined forces with Wu Yuanxun and Hou Qingchen to kill Zhao Feirong and obtain the Yin Yang Peach Divine Sword. "Hua Nongyue looked at Hong Yi's expression, then carefully revealed a piece of information.
"You've been investigating me for the past two days. You've done a thorough investigation, right?" Hong Yi heard all this, but he didn't care.
"Young Master Hong, there must be an expert from the Taishang Dao behind you." Hua Nongying said, "Otherwise, although your dao techniques are strong, you wouldn't have been able to kill Zhao Feirong. Zhao Feirong is the Daluo Holy Maiden, and is one of the most outstanding figures of the younger generation. Along with Taishang Dao's Su Mu, Yunmeng Tianlong School's Shin Yu-seng, our Yaochi School's Lady Yue Ting, Heart Fist Sect's Tong Lin, Taiyi Sect's Xu Qingsong, Zhengyi Sect's Zhang Shuyu, Fang Xiandao Xiao Changfeng, and so on, they are all experts with the greatest potential to become gods or saints. Even if our sect's elders surround and kill them, they can escape at any time. "
"I have an expert from the Taishang Dao behind me …" Hearing Hua Nongying's guess, Hong Yi snickered in his heart. Hua Nongying didn't know that Hong Yi killed Zhao Feirong by pure coincidence. First, he used the Violent Flame Rune Sword that could kill Wu Sheng to injure him, then took the Celestial Peach Sword. Then, he made use of his opponent's underestimation to use the Destructive Ming Of Silla within the Celestial Peach Sword to injure his opponent's soul. Finally, he surrounded him with his army and assassinated him with flying swords. Only then did he lose his life.
But why would Hong Yi say anything in such a situation? He just pretended to be mysterious, and smiled.
"We have no intention of probing your background." Hua Nongying continued, "But us sisters aren't willing to be controlled by others. How about this, you retract your imprint from our souls. I'll give you a million silvers, a thousand-man armored airship, three hundred warriors, ten manors, and a hundred thousand hectares of land. And we promise we won't say a word about this. How about we pretend it never happened? "
"So that's how it is. A million silvers, a thousand-man armored airship, three hundred warriors, ten manors, and a hundred thousand hectares of land. These conditions are generous enough. With these things, I can immediately become a nobleman comparable to a noble family, a big landlord. But how can I trust you? Moreover, you know so many of my secrets … "Hearing these conditions, Hong Yi's eyes flashed, but his face didn't show any expression.
"We can sign a contract. Moreover, our Yaochi school supports Prince Heqing, and you support Prince Yu. Now that we've given you people and sold you airship, we've already committed a huge taboo. If this gets out, us sisters will have to bear the consequences."
Hua Nongyue smiled bitterly. "Looking at you, you'll still have to do business with us in the future. The more we do, the more complicated the implications will be. Young Master, you're an understanding person … "
"One year later!" Hong Yi stretched out a finger. "One year later, this deal will be carried out. It can't be done now. Within this year, I won't do business with you. You can rest assured."
"Since it's like this, then it's a deal. I hope Young Master won't regret it." Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue looked at each other and stood up.
"Of course I won't regret it." Hong Yi placed his hand on the table. He had his own plans. The deal between these two girls was indeed tempting, but Hong Yi knew clearly that he was still weak. Even if he traded ten million silvers, he wouldn't be able to keep it.
One year later, Hong Yi's cultivation would reach a new level. When he had enough strength, everything would be easy. Right now, he still had to temporarily control these two girls.
"I've cultivated the supreme secret manual of the Daizen Temple, the" Sutra of the Past ". I've also obtained so many precious elixirs. I've also obtained the Golden Spider's Dragon Elephant Seal, the Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Temple, and the Yin Yang Peach God Sword. With these things, if my strength doesn't improve even after a year of hard work, I might as well kill myself."
After discussing with the two girls, Hong Yi ordered his subordinates to pack up and set off for a port in Lake Tai.
Under the night sky, the vast and boundless Lake Tai was very calm. The wind blew the water vapor and the lake reflected the moon. It was a peaceful and auspicious scene.
Next to the port, there were five black boats quietly parked.
When Hong Yi saw them, he knew that these five boats were iron-plated flywheel boats. Although they were small boats, they could seat eighty people and looked quite big. They were at least five to six times bigger than an ordinary fishing boat. The two layers of the boat were all wrapped tightly with iron sheets.
When he stepped onto the ship, Hong Yi felt that his feet were very firm. He used his fingers to knock on the side of the ship, and there was a clanging sound that sounded like iron being forged. It sounded like the entire ship was made of steel.
On the deck and the side of the boat, there were protective plates. It was obviously to prevent arrows from shooting.
And under the deck of the boat, there were two rows of seats. Below the seats were iron treadles. The strong sailors sat on them and used their feet to step on the treadles. On both sides of the boat, the iron paddle wheels would spin rapidly, propelling the boat forward. This was twice the speed of an ordinary paddle boat!
"A boat needs twenty strong sailors to step on it. There's also a helmsman. On the other side of the cabin, there's a place to store fresh water, food, medicine, weapons, bows and arrows, and to sleep. " Hua Nongyue and Hong Yi got on the boat and introduced them to Hong Yi one by one. "This boat is very strong. Even ordinary Da Qian warships don't need to shoot at it. They can just crash into it and it will immediately fall apart."
"If it's a big ship with eight hundred people, it's more complete. We can sail on the sea for several months or even half a year. We can also grow vegetables on the boat. These small boats are used to protect big ships. Some of them are not complete yet. They don't have a lot of storage. If we want to go on a long journey, it won't be enough. "Hua Nongying looked at the body of the boat and smiled.
"If we want to sail five boats, we need at least a hundred strong sailors." Hong Yi looked into the hold of the ship. There were strong men on wheels, all of them looking straight ahead. Their skin was bronze, and they were filled with explosive power. From this, he knew that these crew members were not ordinary people.
"Tie! After you send Young Master Hong to the Jinghai Navy's camp in Linhai Province, leave the boat and come back immediately. Don't delay. Don't let anyone see you. "Hua Nongying ordered the captain of the sailors on the boat.
"Yes, Young Miss." The captain named Tie nodded heavily.
"Young Master Hong, please. We'll meet again in a year. I hope you can fulfill our deal then. "Hua Nongying said. Hua Nongyue took a deep look at Hong Yi and returned to the shore.
"Let's set sail."
Hong Yi ordered and returned to the deck with Mu The Younger. There was a higher cabin on the deck that could accommodate twenty people. It was like a room for people. There were beds, blankets, and tea. However, there were no decorations and it looked simple.
After the order was given, the five iron-armored airships sailed towards the depths of Taichang Lake like arrows, accompanied by the splashing sound of water.
…
At this time, in the training field in the backyard of the Shui Yang Mansion, which was ten times more magnificent than Wu Yuansheng's mansion and ten times bigger, a man was practicing his fist skill. He was wearing a white robe with golden arrow sleeves and a purple-gold belt around his waist. He had a yellow face and a mustache on his mouth. He was eight feet tall, and every part of his body was well-proportioned.
This man's fist skill was extremely brilliant. When he moved, he was as agile as a spring swallow skimming across the water.
But the strength of his fist technique was incomparably firm and ferocious. When he punched out, there would be a sharp whistling sound that seemed to tear through the air. After a few hundred punches, the entire training field with a circumference of three thousand steps was filled with the sharp whistling sound of tearing through the air.
"Sumeru Wheel!"
While he was moving, he shouted in a low voice. His body swayed and he covered the distance of twenty steps in an instant. Then, he threw a punch.
Boom!
The punch struck a huge wooden pillar that was as thick as a person's waist. As if it had been hit by an explosive, it instantly exploded, filling the air with wood shavings.
Then, he did not stop. He punched a few more times, and these thick wooden pillars exploded one after another.
"Vajra Wheel!"
Then, he shouted again. He kicked a huge three-legged iron incense burner on the training field, causing it to spin on the ground like a dragonfly. Then, he kicked again, and this huge iron incense burner, which weighed about two hundred kilograms, flew like a rubber ball.
When the iron incense burner was kicked into the air, it looked like it was about to fall. However, he immediately caught it with one hand and gently placed it on the ground. The ground did not even tremble.
After doing all this, he did not even pant. His eyes flickered with light, looking as calm as still water. This showed how shrewd he was and how dangerous he was.
"Good! Good! Good! Good! Lord Kang's Fist Technique has probably already reached the level of a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage. I think that even Young Master Xi, the commander of the Divine Strategy Battalion, is slower than Lord Kang in terms of cultivation."
Just as he stopped, a woman in a green chiffon dress with a jade chain around her waist walked over to the training field. She was dressed somewhat like Zhao Feirong.
"If I hadn't practiced the secret of the Peach God Path and the Yin Yang Scripture's breathing technique to enter the Yin-Yang Harmony Realm, I wouldn't have been able to merge my spirit and body so quickly and enter the Grandmaster Realm."
This young man was Hong Yi's half-brother! Madam Zhao's second son, the Shuiyang Province Inspector, Hong Kang! At the age of fifteen, he was sent to the army for training. After five years, he became a general at the age of twenty. After another five years, he became the assistant minister of the Ministry of War at the age of twenty-five, and the Shuiyang Province Inspector at the age of twenty-six. Although he was still young, he had more than ten years of experience in the officialdom. Now, he was already a high-ranking official of a region.
However, this was also due to his illustrious family background and the deep-rooted influence of the Zhao Family in the south.
Hong Kang stood casually. Although he was young, the two strands of beard above his lips made him look more dignified. He looked like a capable and capable official in his thirties, and it also added to his mature and sharp temperament.
He seemed to be older than Hong Xi, but people with discerning eyes could see that if this Shui Xun shaved off his beard, he would look ten years younger.
"Have you received any accurate news? What happened? "Hong Kang looked at the woman, his hands behind his back, not moving an inch.
"Accurate news. Fei Rong was killed, but I don't know if her body was disintegrated, or if her soul was destroyed. However, I've already found out that your brother, Hong Yi, happened to be in Wu Yuansheng that day, and he also participated in the battle against the White Cloud Manor. I estimate that he should be in Shui Yang today. "
"Hong Yi? He's just a small character, and he can't make any big waves. Fei Rong's martial arts are so powerful that I'm no match for her. Killing Hong Yi is as easy as killing an ant. Such a big thing happened this time, and it might be the doing of someone from the Taishang Dao! It seems that father is going to take action personally, and the Crown Prince won't let it go. However, since Hong Yi has come to Shui Yang, as his brother, I have to entertain him well. "Hong Kang flicked his fingernails." Guards! "
"Thud …"
A series of orderly footsteps quickly arrived at the martial arts field. It was a group of guards in iron armor with swords at their waists.
"You Iron Eagle Guards, send out the order to investigate the towns and cities below. If there's any news of Hong Yi, immediately 'invite' him to see me."
"Yes!"
The sound of iron armor clanking could be heard, and these people disappeared without a trace.
Just as these people were investigating, Hong Yi had already taken the water route and crossed the water sun. On the morning of the second day, five iron-armored airships arrived at the sea of Linhai Province, outside the Jing Hai Navy's main camp.
