(The third volume of Desert Smoke is over...... ）

The Red Beast is rumored to be the remnant of the ancient beast Beast and the Pegasus, in the depths of the wasteland south of the Great Golden Mountain, you can usually see a small group of Red Beasts inhabiting, the habits are similar to the wild horses, fierce but not ferocious, it is one of the demon beasts that can be domesticated by humans, the body shape is like a horse, and it can be used as a high-level war horse. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And whether it is load, speed, and endurance, the adult red beast is a cut stronger than the black scale horse, which fully meets the standard of a low-grade spirit beast required by Chen Hai.

Of course, at present, in the eastern region of Jinzhou, only a few forces such as the Demon God Temple have the ability to enter the wasteland realm south of the Great Golden Mountain, capture the red beast and tame it into a high-level war horse.

In order to show his sincerity, not long after Miao Mingcheng arrived, six red beasts with a body size of nearly one zhang tall entered Lucheng with the caravan of the Changle City Lord's Mansion and handed them over to Chen Hai as a deposit.

Qi Hanjiang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the red war horse.

The red war horse can carry a weight of up to 3,000 catties, and the speed of galloping on the battlefield is not slightly slower than that of the black cunning horse.

This means that Qi Hanjiang is fully armed, and with the impact of the high-speed charge of the red war cavalry wearing heavy armor, he can single-handedly overturn the chariot of the divine machine.

If he didn't take advantage of the impact of the unity of man and horseman, Qi Hanjiang would like to overturn the fully loaded divine chariot, although he could barely do it, but his own knack would also be seriously injured.

Such a powerful battle horse is something that can be encountered but not sought for the late stage of the Spirit Clearing Realm and even for the martial arts cultivation of the Ming Realm.

Although the first batch of only six red beasts, Qi Hanjiang decided to wrap up the circle and brought them all to Juquanling.

Fan Dachun, Han Jian and other generals of the elite army, although they are very greedy, they can only wait patiently, after all, they can still take advantage of the first month near the water, and after Chen Hai, Wu Meng, Qi Hanjiang and they return to Yanzhou, they will be able to choose the red war horses that they have traded with the Demon God Temple in exchange for first.

The generals of the Elite Army, who were one level lower than Fan Dachun, Han Jian and others, only knew that these six red beasts were traded by the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion with the parts of the Divine Machine Chariot and the Divine Crossbow, and the secret of Lu Kaixia was strictly controlled within the Elite Army among a limited number of core figures.

The Ye clan only knew that there was some kind of transaction between the Demon God Temple and the Zhaoyang Pavilion Hou Mansion, which could not be concealed from the Ye clan.

The Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion couldn't come up with something tempting enough, how could it be possible to obtain a high-level war horse like the Red Beast from the Demon God Temple?

Even so, the Ye family was already quite dissatisfied, and more or less had a sense of loss of being betrayed.

Of course, the Dong family will also be dissatisfied, but Chen Hai can't take everyone's emotions into account.

If the emotions of each party have to be taken care of, what can he do?

Chen Hai also didn't care about the dissatisfaction of the Ye clan, the Dong clan, and other high-ranking figures of the Taiwei Sect, and decided to take these six red beasts with him in mid-June to personally escort the last batch of Zhang clan's criminal clan back to Juquanling.

Chen Hai still hadn't found a truly suitable war horse.

Although the Akami Warhorse is strong, it is not strong enough.

After Chen Hai mastered the second realm of the true meaning of wind and thunder, he was able to use Lei Gang's Yuan Breath to quench his body, and his physical body had already surpassed the level of a mortal body, and the unarmed strength of his arms alone exceeded 10,000 catties, which was unimaginably strong.

Chen Hai If he was to engage a strong enemy with all his might at this time, the red war horse would not be able to withstand such a strong counterattack force under his straddle.

Although the Demon God Temple has many middle-grade spirit beasts, most of the middle-grade spirit beasts, such as lynxes, giant gibbons, frost giant wolves, etc., are extremely powerful, but these spirit beasts, some are not suitable for riding, some are ferocious by nature, and some are arrogant, and they are not suitable for acting as war horses.

It was impossible for Yue Yiran and Su Chonghu to give up the black Jiao and black scales they stepped on, so when Chen Hai returned to Juquanling, he could only travel by car, which was also convenient for him to continue to concentrate on studying many difficult problems that had not yet been overcome in the middle level divine machine chariot during the long journey.

****************

After negotiating the secret deal with the Demon God Temple, Chen Hai had no reason to continue to stay in Lucheng.

After Chen Hai left the Exquisite City, Dong Ning and Han Cainiang would go back to Montenegro.

Others don't know why, only Dong Ning and Chen Hai themselves know, only Dong Ning and she are in Montenegro, Chen Hai can pull her soul and mind into the blood cloud wasteland together through the snake bracelet.

Ding Shuang sat in the Jingjue City as the protector of the Jingjue City, and Ran Hu, Fan Dachun, Ge Tong, and Guo Hong sentenced four people to assist Ding Shuang in controlling the military and political affairs of the Jingjue City and controlling the most important node of Jinyan Commerce.

In addition, Han Qingyuan and Deng Tonger will assist Dong Ning to manage Montenegro, Moyue Lake and other places.

At this time, in the eyes of outsiders, Black Mountain and Moyue are still just two enclaves far away from the Pinglu Oasis and located in the depths of the desert, and their status is far less important than Lucheng; in fact, after the Pinglu war subsided, dozens of caravans had already stopped at Lucheng in early June, and Lucheng became lively again.

After the completion of the 32 cantonment military mansions in the Xixia Corridor, the business travel between Jinyan and Jinyan will be more convenient, and I believe that Lucheng will be more lively at that time.

In addition to Ge Xuanqiao and others, Hexi also directly sent 500 elite Taoist soldiers to garrison, and at the same time, there were four caravans directly belonging to the Hexi Metropolitan Protector's Mansion to travel between Tieliuling and Lucheng, so that they could secretly transport 150,000 catties of cheap and high-quality quenched iron into Hexi in a timely manner.

Who would have imagined that before Emperor Yitian's seventy-five years, Hexi controlled the land of the three counties, and the output of quenched iron material per month was not even less than 100,000 catties? And after Emperor Yitian's seventy-five years, Hexi could obtain an additional supply of quenched iron from Juquanling, which was about 100,000 jin per month.

The Lukaibao is an eighth-grade quenched iron material, and its performance in all aspects is three or five percent stronger than that of the most ordinary quenched iron material.

And the Demon God Temple wants to quietly transport away 60,000 catties of high-quality quenched iron every month, and it is also to set up a guild hall in Lucheng, and Miao Mingcheng himself will sit in it to cover it.

Regardless of others, only Ge Xuanqiao and Miao Mingcheng, two famous figures on the list, sat in Lucheng, making Lucheng surpass Xiqiang Wangcheng and become the most important city in the Pinglu Oasis.

*************************

When Chen Hai stepped on his way home in mid-June, in addition to the last batch of more than 400 children of the Zhang clan, their relatives and the traitor Zhang Xiong himself, there were also 200 guards from the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion Huwei Battalion led by Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang, plus hundreds of young children sent to Juquanling by the Han, Du, Deng and other clans this time.

Han Jian will also be a guest this time and accompany Chen Hai to Juquanling to practice.

Thousands of people of the Han clan were exiled to the depths of the desert in the early years, and even if they fell into the grass, the Han clan still did not forget the small oasis that they had obtained, and the clan inheritance was well maintained, and it was still spreading in the depths of the desert.

And when Chen Hai entered the desert, Han Wendang was the first Han disciple to follow Chen Hai, and after that, whether Han Qingyuan led the people out of Montenegro City to surrender, or Han Jian led his troops to break away from the Black Mountain Kou Army, they were quite simple and decisive, which not only ensured that the children of the Han clan did not suffer much loss, but also reused within the elite army in the later period.

At this time, within the jurisdiction of the Elite Capital Protectorate, the Han clan can be said to be the first clan, and Han Jian himself, as the second person of the Han clan, not only has the cultivation of the middle stage of the Ming Realm, but he himself is not yet forty years old, and in the future, in terms of cultivation, he has greater potential than Fan Dachun, Han Qingyuan, Deng Tong'er and others, and is also quite used by Chen Hai.

Chen Hai had no ambition to unify the Pinglu Oasis, and Han Jian himself did not want to be confined to the narrow territory of Black Mountain or the Exquisite City, he, like Han Wendang, chose to go to Juquanling with Chen Hai to practice, hoping to find a broader space and stage in Yanzhou.

This time, Chen Hai did not use the spirit birds of the war poultry battalion, a team of thousands of people, all of whom traveled by horse or car, set out from Lucheng in mid-June, walked in the vast sea of sand for almost 50 days, and arrived at Tieliuling in early August.

After the threat from the west was lifted, the garrison of the Hexi Metropolitan Protectorate in Tieliuling was significantly reduced.

Even the senior brothers of the Tieliuling Daoist Academy and Chen Hai knew before, many of them were either incorporated into the army or transferred to the Huanglongyuan Daoist Academy in the south.

The deal with the Demon God Temple, and after the battle of Yuchicheng, the elite army did not strive for the maximum benefits of Hexi in the Pinglu Great Oasis, these would make some people in Hexi unhappy, but they couldn't blame Chen Hai on the surface. Even if we don't consider the secret supply of 150,000 catties of high-quality quenched iron every month, Hexi can't ignore Chen Hai's great contributions to the Taiwei Sect and Hexi in the depths of the desert for more than a year.

In Tieliuling, Dong Pu, the escort of the Tieliu battalion, personally came forward and hosted a banquet for Chen Hai and his party in Mengyi City.

After leaving Tieliuling, Chen Hai did not borrow from Taiwei City, where the Hexi Duhu General's Mansion was located, but traveled eastward along the northern foot of Yulong Mountain and entered Tianshui County.

The general of Daduhu, the Wuwei Shenhou Dong Liang, and the prince Dong Chou did not reveal the intention of summoning through Dong Pu; and in Taiwei City, the Chen clan was not close to him and the children of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Mansion, and the Du clan and the Chai clan were even more entangled with him, so Chen Hai would not go to Taiwei City to find him unhappy.

And Chen Hai didn't really want to send the rebel king Zhang Xiong to Taiwei Mountain to be imprisoned.

Although a large number of craftsmen and craftsmen in the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion have moved to Juquanling.

Even the elite of the Huwei Battalion either followed Chen Lie in the Heyang Army, or most of them moved to Juquanling, but Chen Qing was driven back to Hexi by Chen Hai and has been practicing in the Huanglongyuan Taoist Academy.

The mansion of the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion in Jade Dragon City and the Medicine Master Garden were only guarded by Qian Wenyi with more than 100 people.

Chen Hai didn't meet Chen Qing either, and the acquaintances of the Huanglongyuan Daoist Academy, Zhao Ruhui, Li Xianghai and others, had in fact already been transferred to the Baishiling Daoist Academy in the south of Juquanling.

In late August, Chen Hai and his entourage entered the Qintong Mountains through Tianshui County.
