As soon as Xiao Chen heard that these soldiers were going to attack their own soul spirit stone mine, they quietly followed.

This is a cavalry force with a full force of five hundred people, everyone is a soul warrior, the level of the squad leader is generally at the sixth level of the Ning Wu Realm, the eighth level of the squadron leader, and the captain's name is Sun Ming, the second level of the chemical martial arts realm.

On the side of the saddle hung a knight's shield and a knight's spear, and everyone also carried a ring-headed sword with a length of more than one meter two, and it was not difficult to see from the equipment that this team was definitely elite.

Sun Ming just nodded at the gray-clothed man, and asked as he walked: "Team Leader Sun, do you say that with our little strength, can we suppress the old man surnamed Xiao?" He is the founding father of our Great Chu Dynasty, although he was later demoted to a county marquis, but the name of the god of war of the wise general is not blown out. ”

Team Leader Chen sneered and said: "Even if he is the king of heaven, is it possible that he still dares to fight against the emperor? Unless he doesn't want to die, don't worry, in addition to us, Nanpihou and Shanggaohou will not be idle, and when the time comes, five hundred regular troops plus one thousand private soldiers, will he dare not bow his head?"

How could it still involve Nanpihou and Shanggaohou, Xiao Chen felt more and more puzzled.

The team marched to the border of Suiyang County and encountered another team, which was a private army led by Nanpihou Pi Zhendong, with a number of about 300.

"Hello Nanpihou. When Team Leader Chen saw him, he put away his previous invincible appearance, got off the horse and respectfully saluted Pi Zhendong, and said, "When the humble post set off, Elder Pi specially explained that the humble post should be the head of the horse of the Marquis Pi, and let me greet you on his behalf." ”

"Well, my brother-brother is well?" asked Pi Zhendong.

"Elder Pi is very good, he has achieved remarkable results in cultivation during this time, and he is about to advance to the Qi Martial Realm. Team Leader Chen lowered his voice: "There is already news from above, as long as Elder Pi successfully advances to the Qi Martial Realm, he will immediately take up the position of Incense Master." ”

Pi Zhendong was very happy, and quietly stuffed a few treasure notes to Team Leader Chen, and said: "Borrow your auspicious words, if my brother-brother really becomes the owner of incense, he will definitely reuse you." This time, I bothered Team Leader Chen to make a trip in person, and it was a little meaningful, and I took it to drink tea. ”

Team Leader Chen glanced down, all of them were hundred-dollar treasure bills, and said with a grin: "Nanpihou is too polite, this is what a humble job should do." What do you do next, tell me to go east and not west. By the way, let me introduce to you, this is Sun Ming, the captain of the Dragon and Tiger Army of Yuzhong Prefecture. ”

"Hello Captain Sun!" Pi Zhendong greeted him, and then said, "Team Leader Chen, let's wait here for a while, Shanggaohou and they will be there soon." ”

Then a servant came on horseback, and after saluting, whispered into his ear.

Pi Zhendong's face changed slightly: "What, the little marquis hasn't returned home yet, you immediately take someone to the entrance of the dungeon to have a look, and look for the whereabouts of the little marquis along the way." ”

"Yes!" the servant got on his horse and quickly left.

Xiao Chen, who was hiding in the grass, said in his heart, your son will never be able to return home, if you are lucky enough to live to the next sixty-eight years, when the dungeon is opened again, you may be able to see your son's bones.

This is already very close to Suiyang County, obviously these guys are going to be caught off guard by Xiao Tianhao, Xiao Chen thought about it carefully, and decided to go back to report the news first.

By the light of night, he quickly disappeared into the darkness.

In the Hou Mansion of Suiyang County, Xiao Tianhao frowned slightly, and after reading Liu Zhizhang's letter, he said to himself: "Chen'er Ji people have their own natural appearance, and there will never be an accident." But it's another thing that makes me feel like the rain is coming. ”

As a wise man, he had already sensed that the forces around him were about to move, and there was only one purpose, that is, the Xiao family's soul spirit stone mine.

On the day that his grandson Xiao Chen went to the dungeon for trial, he ordered the mining of soul spirit stones, and the output was three hundred, and then increased every day until eight hundred today.

This vein is so large that it can be mined for more than 10 years at a production rate of 800 pieces per day.

According to the median price of 400 guan per soul spirit stone, the Xiao family can make a profit of more than one billion guan in ten years, which can be called a rich country.

With such a big comparison of wealth, it is no wonder that no one is blushing.

The Xiao family did not have private soldiers, only a dozen family generals, along with some clansmen, were sent to the mine to be responsible for security work.

However, the highest level among these people is only the fourth level of the Chemical Martial Realm, and once a master comes, they can't stop it at all.

This is Xiao Tianhao's most uneasy point, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, as a marquis, he has the right to raise three hundred private soldiers, but now recruitment is obviously far from quenching thirst. Even if they can recruit 300 people in a short time, who can guarantee that they will be absolutely loyal without a long investigation, maybe from the beginning, they are plotting against the enemy.

At this time, Xiao Chen's voice sounded outside: "Grandpa, my grandson is back." ”

"Chen'er is back, come in. He shouted happily and said, "Fat Willow sent a letter saying that you are in danger in the dungeon, are you okay?"

Xiao Chen strode into the study and said with a smile: "Not only is it okay, but my grandson has been promoted, and the martial soul has also made great progress." ”

The old marquis could see at a glance that he was now at the eighth level of the Condensing Martial Realm, and in just a few days, he had been promoted from the sixth level to the eighth level, which was incredible.

Xiao Chen briefly talked about his experience these days, and took out the Qilin Beast Soul Bone and gave it to his grandfather.

Xiao Tianhao was overjoyed, stroked the soul bone with a beautiful jade texture, and said: "Chen'er, you are the pride of your grandfather, not only found the soul bone cultivation method that had been lost for 10,000 years, but also found at least three soul bones, this matter will definitely shock the Great Chu Dynasty! No, it should shock the entire Huaxia Continent." ”

Xiao Chen didn't feel too excited, and said, "Grandpa, this matter is not in a hurry to be made public, there are people who don't want our Xiao family to live in peace right now." You may not know that Suiyang County is now under the pressure of soldiers, and when we wake up early tomorrow morning, we will find that Xiao Mansion is surrounded by 1,500 soldiers. ”

"What, who is so bold and dares to besiege the Hou Mansion of the founding county?" The old marquis stared: "That's a rebellion, has anyone eaten the gall of an ambitious leopard?"

"I think it's the opposite, the other side is prepared. He said: "Not only do they have their own private soldiers, but they also transfer five hundred regular troops from Yuzhong Mansion, if our Xiao family does not make any preparations, it is estimated that we will suffer a big loss early tomorrow morning!"

"Who is the leader?" asked the old marquis in a deep voice.

"Who else can there be, our old enemy Nanpihou. ”

Xiao Tianhao said angrily: "It's this Nanpi monkey again, he didn't take advantage of the Six Cities Competition last time, and he immediately came to pay attention to the soul spirit stone." I want him to know that our Xiao family in Suiyang County is not easy to mess with, and my Xiao Tianhao's cheapness is not something that anyone can take advantage of if they want to. ”

After speaking, he shouted outside: "Ah Fu, wake up all the people in the mansion and do what I tell you to do!"
