"In other words, I will provide you with three thousand taels of gold, two Ironwood Black Bone Magic Bows, three hundred Eagle Feather Arrows, two Black Blood Horses, seven sets of White Bull Armor, and an expert to follow you for a year. After a year, you will give me the Blood Pattern Steel Needles? But how can I trust you? You want me to pay in advance! Although you are trustworthy, what if something happens after a year? "
Murong Yan's fingers were intertwined as she pondered.
"So, the experts you sent over will protect me and also keep an eye on me," Hong Yi smiled and reminded Murong Yan with words. "That's why.
"That's true! It's settled then! " Murong Yan's suspicions were dispelled by Hong Yi's words. "Amon, go and tell Feng Tie to prepare these things tomorrow and secretly send them to the manor! At the same time, ask Uncle, when will Chi Zhuiyang arrive! "
"I also want to borrow two Mastiff Kings." Hong Yi thought and said.
"That's not a problem, as long as you provide them with meat and milk every day." Murong Yan smiled, "But they will not listen to your orders, they only listen to me. But I will send Chi Zhuiyang to follow you. Those mastiffs were raised by him, he can command them as you wish."
"If that's the case, then there's no problem."
Hong Yi let out a long sigh, as if he could smell the smell of the water from the south.
…
"What? Prince Yu recommended that little bastard to the Southern Pacification Navy? " In Marquis Wu Wen's mansion, Hong Xi sat below and Madam Zhao sat above. Her eyes were cold and frightening.
"Yes, this is the latest document I saw in the Ministry of War. I asked someone to copy it. A group of Jade Capital's princes and ministers were recommended to serve in the army. Hong Yi's name is among them." Hong Xi pointed at a handwritten document on the table. It was densely packed with resumes and names. He pointed at Hong Yi's name.
"But don't worry, Mother. I'm sure Hong Yi won't be able to do anything. How could someone like him, who had only studied in seclusion and had never been out, know about the dangers of the army? And this time, the pirates in the south are rampant. It is very likely that there are remnants of the Daizen Temple among them. They support the old and young of the Great Zhou Dynasty and want to rebel against the Da Qian! The Southern Sea, the Bewitching Bend, the Black Shark Swamp, hundreds of islands, a boundless sea with a circumference of tens of thousands of miles, and with these unfathomable experts, rather than saying that he's going there to build a career, it's better to say that he's going there to seek death. "
"Don't look down on this little bastard." Madam Zhao shook her head. "Zhao Han is also a master, but once he goes out, kill him immediately! This little bastard was very scheming. Moreover, he has many experts by his side. "
"What experts? It's just a few Jianghu performers. " Hong Xi's tone was very calm. "Zhao Han was careless. His martial arts skills are so-so and he lacks experience. That's why he fell for the trick. If he wanted to build a military merit, he would have brought these few people with him. "
"Even if that's the case, how can I let him go to the south? Hmph, he left the Marquis's Residence and lived in Jade Capital Temple, so I couldn't do anything. He moved Green Willow Village and found a backer, so it was even harder for me to do anything. This time, he actually went to the south. From Jade Capital Temple to the south, it's five to six thousand miles and more than ten prefectures. Moreover, some places have broken official roads, so he needs to take small paths. It's not surprising that something happened … "Madam Zhao's face showed a fierce killing intent!
"Mother? You want to? "Hong Xi made a chopping motion.
"Of course, this little bastard's wings are getting bigger and bigger. He will be a big threat in the future. You don't have to do anything about this. Our Zhao Daluo had met some people in the Jianghu and the underworld in the early years. Spread the word … "
Madam Zhao used her hand to pick up a cup of tea. After drinking it, she put it down fiercely.
…
"Go! Go! Go! "
The scorching sun was like fire. The soil on the wide official road had been baked into a snow-white color. With every step, a grey pit would be formed. The horse's hooves kicked up a cloud of dust.
Nine people, nine horses, galloped at lightning speed all the way, not stopping for even a moment! The one in front was naturally Hong Yi. He was riding on a Lightning Chasing Horse that looked like a flaming cloud! Beside him were Shen Tiezhu and Mu The Younger. Both of them were riding on a strong horse that was ten feet long and eight feet tall. It was completely black and looked like a black dragon!
This was Yun Meng's best horse, the Dark Blood Horse.
There was also a young man in green riding on the Dark Blood Horse. He had a cold expression on his face. Beside the horse, there were two Lion Kings. These Lion Kings were very fast. When they galloped, they had the same speed and stamina as a horse. However, their bodies were covered in dust. They were no longer as white as before. This made them look like two greyhounds.
However, this was also beneficial. They wouldn't attract attention. Otherwise, two snow-white dogs with golden fur on their necks would be very eye-catching.
"The Huangnigang Hill should be in front of us. After the Huangnigang Hill, the Huangnigang Hill is about 50 miles long and is surrounded by dense forests. We have to be careful. However, after the Huangnigang Hill, we will reach the Mapletree Town in 30 miles. We will be out of the capital city for three days, and we will be traveling 300 miles a day in an urgent manner. We will be thousands of miles away from Jade Capital.
The official road in front of them gradually disappeared and was replaced by a small road. In front of them, there was a large black forest with no end. A dirt road that wasn't wide extended into the forest.
Under such circumstances, the nine people and nine horses in front stopped.
Shen Tiezhu looked at the dark forest in front of him that stretched as far as the eye could see, as well as the path that led into the forest. He jumped off his horse abruptly.
"Eh?" Hong Yi covered his eyes with his hands and looked around. "The Huangnigang Hill is high in the mountains and dense in the forest. It's dark inside. However, this is the only road that leads to Maple Tree Town. It's a peaceful time now. The country forbids fists and sticks. Moreover, the weather is good. It's impossible for bandits and robbers to appear here."
Hong Yi smiled and thought of the historical notes. Strong bandits would appear in forests, hills, and small roads like this one. "Not necessarily.
My father and I have traveled in Jianghu for so many years. We know a little about bandits. We are already a thousand li away from Jade Capital. This place belongs to Fen Yang Province. The land is barren and the forest is dense. It has always been a place where bandits don't know their place. At this time last year, they even killed merchants from Yinzhou. "Shen Tiezhu was a person who traveled in Jianghu. He knew a lot about the situation in various places.
"Eh? The merchants from Yinzhou are all the richest in the world. Such an incident should have spread in Jade Capital. Why didn't I hear about it? " Hong Yi was stunned. He originally thought that the Da Qian Dynasty had a stable rule. In addition to the ban on weapons and weapons, there were no wars in various places. The weather should be good.
"Now, all the incidents in the provinces are covered up and not reported to the imperial court. Don't think that the Da Qian Dynasty is prosperous in Jade Capital. It's actually a whitewash. "The young man on the horse sneered.
This young man was Chi Zhuiyang, whom Hong Yi had asked Murong Yan to bring along. His martial arts were unfathomable and he had already entered the innate realm.
"Whitewashing peace has happened in every dynasty. The Da Qian Dynasty is too big. It takes half a year to travel from the south to the north and from the east to the west. It's impossible to take care of everything at the central hub." Hong Yi shook his horse. Although he said this, he was secretly cautious. "We have so many people and strong horses. Brother Chi is an innate expert. Let's not talk about small bandits. Even if we meet an expert who wants to kill us, it'll be a piece of cake. Let's go, or it'll be dark. "
"Brother Hong, you flatter me." Chi Zhuiyang heard Hong Yi's praise and felt slightly uncomfortable. He replied humbly.
Nine people and nine horses leaped up Huang Ni Hill and entered the forest.
…
"Are they here?"
At this moment, a group of people in black was hiding in the depths of the forest. Even their heads were covered.
One of the leaders was prostrating on the ground, listening for any movement.
"Who are we going to kill this time? Someone actually spent ten thousand taels of silver and was afraid that we would fail. They actually sent us this thing. This is the Flying Locust Repeating Crossbow. Only the most elite troops of the imperial court have this kind of thing. It's worth a hundred taels of gold and it's not even available! Even an innate master would find it hard to block five arrows in a row. "
Another leader was playing with a brightly painted crossbow in his hand.
