Chapter 170: Challenged Again

readx;

In the early morning of the next day, when the welcoming convoy was ready to leave, the talents of the Duanmu family appeared at the end of the horizon. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It was a cavalry squad of dozens of people, who had obviously just experienced a bloody battle, almost everyone's armor was scarred and bloodstained, and the Duanmu family flag fluttering in the wind was also half mutilated.

Seeing the Han family's convoy safe and sound, the knights of the Duanmu family all showed puzzled and even disbelieving looks, but the convoy was accompanied by the envoy of the Duanmu family, and after some understanding, they learned about the battle that happened yesterday.

Four or five thousand horse thieves were all defeated, and none of the Han warriors were lost, such a record made these knights of the Duanmu family awe-inspired, and their attitude was immediately much more respectful.

And they also explained the reason for being late, just as Han Tianli had expected, the greeting procession of Duanmu's family was attacked by unknown bandits. Due to the heavy losses caused by lack of preparation in advance, they were forced to retreat and wait for reinforcements, but after a delay of two days, now the Duanmu family's army is rushing to arrive, they are the vanguard of the investigation of the situation, and they are also intercepted by the enemy on the way.

The knight of the Duanmu family had a rather ugly face, you must know that although Nanfang County is not the location of the Duanmu clan's base camp, it is also the territory they control, and it was slapped so their own land, which almost affected the marriage of the two families, and even lost the adult in front of the Han family, which is undoubtedly extremely embarrassing.

Fortunately, Han Tianli, who was old and sophisticated, not only did not care about it or say something unpleasant that made the other party unable to get off the stage, but instead asked the spirit mage in the team to treat the injured knight, and said that the guest would obey the Duanmu family's arrangement next.

His attitude made the people of the Duanmu family feel good, and after resting for a while, they went on the road together, and finally met the Duanmu family's legion at noon.

There is almost no difference between the private army of the Duanmu clan and the ordinary king [***], if there is, it is more well-equipped, which is simply unimaginable in the Minglan Kingdom, if a family builds an army so blatantly, I am afraid that it will be wiped out by the royal family and other families together.

The local divided families are self-reliant, and they are fighting with each other openly and secretly, which is the current situation of the Karpas Kingdom.

Escorted by tens of thousands of soldiers and cavalry, the convoy crossed the southern county all the way east, and entered Wanghai County, the core control area of the Duanmu clan.

With the escort of the Duanmu Family Legion, the Han warriors of the welcoming convoy could finally relax their tense nerves, and the trip was no longer in a hurry.

The scenery of the Karpas Kingdom is very different from that of the Minglan Kingdom, Han Fei looked down all the way, there were very few farmland estates and towns on both sides of the avenue, and now it was the last autumn harvest season, and the plains were full of abandoned wheat fields, revealing a smell of depression.

This did not change until the fourth day of the year, when you could see a succession of villages and towns, farmers harvesting autumn wheat in the golden wheat fields, more caravanserans on the road, and more cavalry patrolling.

Han Fei's evaluation of the Duanmu family couldn't help but be a little lower in his heart, as the princes of the separatist side, the Duanmu clan could only ensure the prosperity and development of their old nest, either they lacked enough strength or they didn't have enough ambition.

Wanghai City, the capital of Wanghai County, is the seat of the Duanmu clan, and Wanghai City is also one of the famous large cities in the Karpas Kingdom, with a population of nearly 300,000 and a very developed commercial trade.

I don't know if it was out of the need to save face, or if it was originally such an arrangement, when the welcoming convoy arrived in the western suburbs of Wanghai City, it was welcomed by the Duanmu clan very ceremoniously.

Both sides of the avenue were filled with people holding flowers, and the red carpet was spread all the way to the city gate, and Duanmu Xiong, the patriarch of the Duanmu clan, led five patriarchs, thirty elders and many children of the family to greet them in person, as if they were not receiving a convoy to welcome relatives, but the car of a certain king.

After the elaborate greeting ceremony was completed, the convoy entered Wanghai City under the escort of hundreds of gold-armored knights, and was immediately arranged to stay in the VIP pavilion next to the Duanmu Clan's Mansion.

In the past three hundred years, the Minglan Han clan and the Karpas Duanmu clan have married for the first time, and the interests involved are extremely huge, and Han Tianli personally led the team to come not only to welcome the new daughter-in-law of the Han clan, but also to shoulder the heavy responsibility of establishing further relations with the Duanmu clan.

However, this has nothing to do with ordinary Han children, Han Tianli is very generous to give everyone a three-day vacation, everyone can play casually in Wanghai City, and there is no longer any task arrangement. However, there is a premise for this, and no one can cause trouble in the city, otherwise they will be severely punished by the clan rules.

Including Han Fei, all the Han warriors and disciples received a rich gift from the Duanmu clan, which included a wedding cake, five hundred gold coins and a VIP card, with which all the shops, bars and other places under the Duanmu clan in the city could enjoy consumption discounts.

According to the custom of the kingdom of Karpasia, if a daughter marries to a distant land, the man must first come to the woman's house to welcome her and pass a series of tests in the wedding held by the woman's family before he can take the bride away.

And Han Fei and the other ten family members are responsible for the task of breaking through the level and winning the bride, and they also have the name of "welcoming relatives", and this is completely a copy of the best man in his previous life in Han Fei's opinion.

The wedding of the women's family will be held in five days, and Wanghai City is already full of joy and festive atmosphere.

After resting for a night, the next morning, Han Fei and Han Bixuan quietly left the VIP Pavilion and traveled to Wanghai City together to enjoy this rare leisure time.

Although the name of Wanghai Castle is Wanghai, it is actually a long way from the sea, but like the city of Sain, there is also a large river that passes outside the city and joins the ocean, and it is said that you can see the blue sea in just one day downstream, which is much closer than the city of Sain.

The convenience and development of transportation are destined to be prosperous here, the streets are crowded, the shops along the street are prosperous, and the characters are very different from the city of Sain.

In the city, you can see the fierce human and beast warriors everywhere, the number of mercenaries, adventurers, and merchants far exceeds that of ordinary cities, and the number of city guard warriors patrolling back and forth is also extraordinarily large.

Because she came out to play, Han Fei changed out of armor and changed into a samurai uniform, while Han Bixuan was wearing a set of pale green dresses, the tight long skirt outlined her perfect figure, coupled with light makeup, she looked glamorous, and from time to time someone looked back on the road just to take a second look.

If it weren't for Han Fei, who was tall and very imposing, by his side, I am afraid that someone would have come up to talk to him.

Along the way, Han Fei found that almost all the largest and most magnificent shops in the city were from the Duanmu clan, and the weapons and armor created by their family were also of the highest standard, and the prices were quite fair.

Han Bixuan didn't have much interest in weapons, but she lingered in various clothing stores and jewelry stores for a long time, especially the pearl jewelry in a jewelry store completely attracted her attention, and she tried on seven or eight sets in a row.

This jewelry store called Glow Pearl is not the property of Duanmu, the store is not very large, specializing in all kinds of pearl jewelry, and all the pearls come from the sea.

Han Bixuan put a string of pearl necklaces around her neck and looked at it beautifully in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

This necklace is composed of thirty-eight lilac saltwater pearls of the same size and round body, among which a large pearl that acts as a pendant is the size of a pigeon's egg, exuding a faint brilliance, which reflects Han Bixuan's snow skin and jade skin, adding a bit of beauty to her.

The owner of the jewelry store was a beautiful woman with a lot of charm, and she couldn't help but praise Han Bixuan's side: "This young lady, this string of purple pearls is really suitable for you! I used to put it in the store but I have always been reluctant to sell it, and now I know that it is because I have not met such a beautiful customer as you...

Although she knew that it was just the business words of the proprietress, Han Bixuan's face still bloomed with a charming smile, and her beauty made several girls next to her feel a little ashamed of themselves, and they all cast jealous or envious eyes.

Han Fei on the side couldn't help laughing, this proprietress spoke better than she sang, but this pearl necklace and Han Bixuan matched it very well, it was true.

"How much does this necklace cost?" he asked.

The proprietress obviously knew very well who was the real payer, although Han Fei didn't seem to have anything special except for being taller, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she knew that there was a door to business.

"It's not expensive, it's definitely not expensive..."The proprietress said with a smile: "Only 18,000 gold coins!"

"Eighteen thousand?" Before Han Fei could answer, Han Bixuan frowned first, with a hint of disappointment on her face: "This price is too expensive, isn't it just a string of pearl necklaces, where is it worth so much?"

When the proprietress heard this, she was anxious: "This is a deep-sea pearl, we bought it from the Sea Clan with great difficulty, and you also know that the Sea Clan is not easy to deal with, if it is not related, others will not be able to get the goods at all, and the cost we pay will be very high." ”

"The price is definitely not less, but if you buy it, I can give you a matching pair of bracelets, rings and earrings to make a set!"

As she spoke, the proprietress took out bracelets, rings, and earrings from the drawer next to her, and the equally beautiful lilac pearls were indeed a match.

Han Bixuan still shook her head, this price was far beyond what she could afford, and she didn't consider letting Han Fei pay for it.

Han Fei smiled, and was just about to open his mouth when a rather arrogant and rude voice suddenly came from the side.

"I bought it!"
