After the merchant station was built, Hao Jian hired ten archers, each of whom cost 80 gold and 22 honor points, and the ten archer cost a total of 800 gold and 220 honor points.

At this time, after deducting the 500 gold coins after building the horse farm, there are 3260 gold coins left, and the honor value is also 216 points.

Hao Jian continued to hire 20 light cavalry in the trading station, and the light cavalry was relatively much cheaper, each of them only needed 40 gold and 2 honor points, so it cost another 800 gold coins and 40 honor points.

In the end, there are 2460 gold coins left, and 176 honor points remained.

Hao Jian looked at the armory again and found that there were still 7 long swords and 17 armor, so he gritted his teeth and trained three knights.

The Knight is arguably the most expensive of all the classes, costing 200 gold and 50 Honor points per knight.

This cost another 600 gold and 150 credit points, leaving 1660 gold and 16 credit points.

In an instant, Hao Jian's assets shrank by more than half, and his honor value was almost exhausted.

Looking at the value of assets that have not been reduced, Hao Jian is still a little distressed, but when he thinks of the huge benefits after completing this mission and the great benefits for future development, this distressing feeling disappears again.

After setting the assembly point at the bottom of the mountain, Hao Jian finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although Hao Jian completed a series of deployments and soldier training just now, in Liu Ji's opinion, Hao Jian was always thinking, frowning, smiling, happy, and finally excited, which made Liu Ji's mood stunned, and it was not good to ask directly, so he had to wait for Hao Jian to wake up.

"Strategist, I have made up my mind, we have to save people, and Hai Dongqing's house also has to be cleaned up. We're ready to go now!"

Hao Jian came back to his senses, stretched his waist, and said loudly to Liu Ji with the long sword at his waist.

"Huh? Departure now? General, this is a long-distance pursuit, shall we just go? Liu Ji and the two said confusedly.

"If the military advisor can ride a horse, come with me. If not, you can stay at home and watch the house, and wait for Lord Ben to capture Hai Dongqing's house back. Hao Jian patted Liu Ji on the shoulder and said in high spirits.

Liu Ji's body was short, and he smiled bitterly: "General, you can shoot slowly, you can't stand your toss in this body." The horse is still I will ride, if you command, in the next course obey the order. ”

Although he said that he would obey his fate, it was obvious that he didn't want to go.

However, Hao Jian didn't plan to leave this guy in the rear, although he was nominally a military advisor, but after all, he had only known each other for less than half a day, and for a guy like Hao Jian who was not easy to trust others, he naturally wouldn't be at ease to let him stay.

"In that case, let's go together and see the battlefield style of Lord Ben. As for what you are worried about, you will understand in a moment, and don't ask more about the rest. Hao Jian laughed.

Liu Ji wanted to say more, but seeing that Hao Jian had already turned around to assign tasks to Bai Mu and Li Qian, he had to shut his mouth stupidly, complaining in his heart.

He really couldn't figure out how Hao Jian could chase Hai Dongqing, after all, Hao Jian's men were all infantry. Infantry chasing cavalry? He didn't believe that Hao Jian could do this kind of thing without common sense.

"The two of you take the rest of the men and horses to guard the village, if there are outsiders who break into the mountain, you can kill them after the warning is invalid. If someone among the people makes trouble, they can be cut off after the warning is invalid! ”

Hao Jian stared at the two ironclad swordsmen in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"No! We will abide by the orders of the adults, and we will never allow the village to be lost! The two clasped their fists and saluted.

Hao Jian nodded, put on his helmet, waved to Liu Ji with his long sword in his hand, and walked down the mountain.

"Childe, Childe, wait for me!"

Behind him, the screams and footsteps of the little girl Xiaowen sounded.

"Childe, I'm going too, I'm going to save my young lady too!" Xiaowen chased after her and stopped in front of Hao Jian.

"What are you doing little girl? If you go to fight and kill, you will add to the chaos, stay in the mountains, and I will definitely save your young lady. Hao Jian looked at the little girl with a pleading face and said with a frown.

Women are really troublesome, Hao Jian suddenly remembered the sentence: If it is not for reproduction, men are true love.

"Childe, I beg you, you must take me there! I can ride horses, and I know a little bit of martial arts, so I won't trouble you. And I know where they're going, and if there's no one to show you the way, you won't find anyone. ”

The little girl was anxious, seeing that Hao Jian had no intention of taking her there, she said a bunch of things in one breath.

Hao Jian looked at the little girl's stubborn face, pondered for a while, and then said: "Okay, you can go, but you must follow me, everything must be listened to me, otherwise you will stay in the mountains." ”

He was persuaded by the little girl's last sentence, after all, the little girl was the only one who knew the route and direction of her young lady and Hai Dongqing's pursuit, and if she didn't take her, she would definitely take a detour, so the chance of failure in the mission would be much greater.

"I promise that I will listen to my son for everything, as long as I can rescue my young lady, let Xiaowen do anything!" The little girl nodded happily and reassured.

Hao Jian glanced at the little girl's already large-scale body without a trace, read a sentence of guilt and sin, nodded and strode down the mountain.

Liu Ji and the little girl hurriedly followed, and Bai Mu took three swordsmen from the personal guard team to send Hao Jian to the bottom of the mountain.

After passing through several sentry posts along the way, after passing the password, Li Yi came out to greet Hao Jian, and took a few people to tell Bai Mu that Hao Jian was sent to the foot of the mountain.

Originally, they could have taken Bai Mu and them, but unfortunately, in the setting of the system, Bai Mu and these ironclad swordsmen had no horseback riding skills, so they had to stay behind.

Besides, they really need to be guarded on the mountain, and if there are any ill-intentioned people among these newly annexed people, someone will be able to suppress them if something happens.

The group quickly arrived at the bottom of the mountain with torches, Hao Jian looked around, and shouted to a place where there was a bright light: "Lord Ben is here, come over and see it quickly!" ”

Liu Ji looked at that place blankly, not knowing who Hao Jian was talking to.

The little girl Xiaowen looked at the dark night around her with some fear, followed Hao Jianjian closely, and even grabbed the corner of Hao Jian's fiery red cloak and held it, as if she was afraid of being swallowed by the night.

Soon, a shout was heard in the firelight, and then there was a sound of horses' hooves, and the firelight quickly rushed in the direction of Hao Jian.
