PS: Watch the exclusive story behind "Wushuang Battle Spirit", listen to more suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the starting point Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter qdread), tell me quietly!
Early the next morning, Gao Heng and Deng Hu took an ox cart to Yingyin County, which was dozens of miles away, and when they arrived, it was already early afternoon, and they received the identity seal from the unsmiling Zhu County Commander, and then rushed back to Gaoxiang Pavilion non-stop.
At this time, it was already approaching.
There is a shortage of horses in the Central Plains, and it can be replenished from Youzhou in Liaodong before, but now the roads are not quiet, the price of horses is soaring, and a horse can be sold for nearly 100 yuan, and excellent war horses are worth hundreds of yuan, but unfortunately no matter how big the profit is, horse dealers rarely dare to come. So much so that in the huge Yingchuan County, in addition to some in the hands of the government, even an inferior horse is rare in the countryside.
After getting off the ox cart, Deng Hu, a stout man with well-developed limbs, also had a tired face, obviously the road was not light.
Gao Heng was in high spirits, and his eyebrows were full of excitement about the new official's appointment. Because he now knows that the original official's seal has a special skill!
The bronze seal of Sifu and the wooden seal of Youpei, both of which are cyanotic ribbons, but they are ranked high and low. Because it belongs to the civil and military, the big seal attached to the wandering is an offensive skill, and Sifu, although it has two skills, is the effect of the support class. Although the skills attached to the seal can only be used once a day, it is a big surprise.
The two skills of Sifu are Anmin and Perseverance, which can stabilize morale and make everyone accept command, and Hold on to reduce the damage taken by himself and nearby allies to a certain extent.
For civil officials who are not good at charging into battle, the skills of these two teams are naturally a good match, but at this stage, Gao Heng still attaches more importance to the improvement of his own combat power, because only in this way can he better protect himself.
The Official Seal of the Wanderer, an E-class item, is of excellent quality, and comes with the skill: Intimidation. When used, it unleashes a wave of aura around its body, striking enemies up to three meters in the vicinity and intimidating all targets below the rank of the swimmer.
Judging from the effect, this skill should be a weakened version of the general's special skill.
In addition, You Bi is responsible for protecting the territory and arresting thieves, and can receive an additional well-made ring-headed knife and a hardwood arm shield inlaid with double iron sheets from the county arsenal.
Standard Ring Head Knife, an E-class weapon, of excellent quality, with a special effect: Heavy Slash. Every 10 slashes during combat, the next attack will inevitably trigger the heavy slash effect, causing the slash damage to increase.
Exquisite arm shields, ordinary equipment, excellent quality.
The only regret is the space prompt, these equipment items include the official seal of Youyou, the ownership belongs to the Yingyin Mansion, Gao Heng only has the right to use, and when he returns to the space, he cannot take them out of this world.
"Congratulations to Brother Deng, congratulations to Gongzi Gao!" In front of the cottage of Gao Xiangting, several villagers and Deng Hu's subordinates who had been in Fanyang Pavilion had been waiting for a long time. Although Fanyang Pavilion is under the jurisdiction of Xixiang, it is adjacent to Gaoxiang Pavilion and is extremely close.
"Haha, Chen Da, your appointment has been made, Xun Gongcao asked the county monarch for a reward and let you be promoted to the head of the Fanyang Pavilion, and as for Feng San, he will take over as a thief." Deng Hu smiled heartily, and then gave the pavilion chief certificate on his body to Chen Da.
Chen Dahan smiled stupidly and scratched his head.
Feng San is also a pawn of Fanyang Pavilion, and his qualifications are much shallower than Cheng Wu and Cheng Ji, but he did not lose his courage when he rushed to help Liujiazhuang that night, and he was much stronger than Cheng Wucheng Ji, who was shrinking behind, so he took over the position of thief, and naturally relied on Deng Hu's recommendation.
"Thank you, Brother Deng......" Feng San was so excited that his body trembled, and the rest of the Fanyang Pavilion guards were somewhat disappointed.
The pavilion chief and the thief are just fighting for food, so there is no special effect attached to the seal certificate, but after all, it is an official body, superior to others, and there is a monthly salary.
Gao Heng asked Deng Hu on the way back, and as far as Deng Hu knew, only a hundred stone officials such as Sifu, You, or even the commander of the army or above, their seals would have skill effects. When Deng Hu was the former pavilion chief, only the ring-head knife in his hand had a special effect, which was exchanged from the official army for the meritorious service accumulated during the Yellow Turban siege, and the effect was completely different from the standard ring-head knife in Youyou.
The standard ring-head knife equipped with You Yi is equipped with a heavy slash skill, while Deng Hu's ring-head knife is a strong blade, which makes the blade sharper in a short period of time, consumes very little, and can be used continuously.
When the new official took office, Deng Hu seemed very generous, and took more than 1,000 five baht to buy wine and meat, so that the village officials and more than ten acquaintances of Fanyang Pavilion could eat and drink.
The wine is country rice wine, the taste is very ordinary, the meat is a farmer's chicken and duck and a few freshly caught grass carp from the river, a group of men guess the boxing wine, but have a good time.
Gradually calming down from the excitement of the promotion, looking at the swimming suit on his body, Gao Heng suddenly felt that it seemed to be a little too smooth recently. Rescuing Liu Jiazhuang, although there is some danger, and was almost killed by Daniel Zhang in seconds, but Liu Wen has also given a reward, and the two rewards of visualization and reading are already worthy of the risk of rescue.
The appointment of You Heng is not only because Gao Heng's status as a scholar has played a role, but it can also be considered that the reputation he gained after rescuing Liu Jiazhuang has reduced resistance, but Gao Heng didn't know that the official position of You Heng has such huge benefits.
The value of these equipment items is definitely several times higher than the rewards after completing the main quest. Even if it's only for a period of time, with such a big increase in combat power, it is enough for Gao Heng to reap many benefits before his return.
According to the law that the greater the benefit, the greater the risk, will the space allow Gao Heng to brush points? Obviously, the probability is very close to zero.
Gao Heng was shocked.
"Haha, is Yaoguang here?" Ting Peng Guo Xuan stepped in.
"I've seen the envoy." A group of men all stood up in a little panic, but Guo Xuan just glanced at these rough people with a reserved look, and nodded in return.
"Brother Xianzhao is here, it's really brilliant." Gao Heng stepped forward and asked Guo Xuan to sit on the main seat.
Ting Peng is in charge of rural affairs, that is to say, Guo Xuan is the top boss of Deng Hu and Gao Heng.
"Excuse me, I need to go to Xixiang later." Guo Xuan waved his hand.
Deng Hu said in a deep voice: "Ting Peng, but something big happened?" ”
"Yes, something really happened, not long after the two of you took the seal ribbon and left, the state government issued an official document, and the whole county of Yingchuan was on guard, searching for fugitives, and not allowing them to get close to Dahongzhai and go to the yellow turban on the mountain."
Guo Xuan pasted a thin painted portrait on the central wall of the Xiangting Hall.
The person in the painting has a yellow scarf on his forehead, a square face with a wide mouth, and a full beard, looking very vicious. There are also several lines of text on the left side of the portrait detailing the person's name, place of origin, and various physical characteristics.
"This person is the Yellow Turban thief Lu Liang, a remnant of Taiping Dao, who was once Zhang Bao's personal guard. When Huang Yuzhou visited Yuzhou at the beginning of the previous year, this thief made chaos in the counties in the state, and later although he was pacified by the Huang Yuzhou army, he did not know where the thief went. Now it has finally been found, although it is still escaped, but the traces have been revealed, according to the state pastor's speculation, the thief was seriously injured, nowhere to stay, most of them will flee to the Yellow Turban of Dahongzhai. Therefore, the counties and townships near Dahongzhai should not be neglected, and the thief will be punished with a heavy reward! ”
Dahongzhai is the remaining vein of the Funiu mountain system, known as Zhongliang in ancient times, located in the territory of Yingchuan, stretching for several counties, surrounded by mountains arches. There is a remnant of the Yellow Turban bandits of thousands of people entrenched on the mountain, and Liu Yan, the commander of the canal, calls himself the Yaksha of the River, and the officials and soldiers have repeatedly suppressed it.
However, Gaoxiang and Xixiang, although they are quite close to Xiaolongshan, the border of Dahongzhai, are only more than 20 miles, but they are even farther away from the yellow scarf where the main peak of Dahongzhai is entrenched, at least hundreds of miles.
Guo Xuan is naturally clear about these, but he still advised: "Although it is unlikely that the thief will Lu Liang pass through Gaoxiang, but the blockade along the way, it is difficult to guarantee that Lu Liang will not come by a detour, these days can not be careless, more episodes of Ding Zhuang patrol the township border, this is a major matter valued by the state government, do not seek merit, but seek no fault." ”
"Discover the side quest, hunt down the seriously injured thief general Lu Liang, and complete the quest to get fifty points. Kill the target is rewarded with an additional 200 points, and the rest of the rewards are unknown. The voice of the Space Ruler rang out at the right time.
Gao Heng smiled bitterly, sure enough, the space will not benefit people in vain, just when he was upstream, the task came. This yellow turban thief will Lu Liang, I'm afraid that more than ninety percent of them may be coming to Gaoxiang. This is the commander of the party who once commanded thousands of troops and horses, even if he was defeated and seriously injured, and was chased by the state pastoral government like a lost dog, but there is no doubt that he is still an extremely dangerous fierce murderer. You only need to look at the points rewarded by the task, and it can be seen that only one point is given for killing an ordinary Yellow Turban Thief before, and it is the captain of the Yellow Turban Army, which is only worth five points.
Everyone agreed together, and Guo Xuan stayed for a short time, and then hurried to Xixiang.
