Chapter 52: Finally Meeting Baron Saul
Ye Tianlong followed Ye Da to the gate of the camp, and sure enough, he saw several soldiers wearing chain mail and a fierce aura there.
Those soldiers were also looking at the situation in the camp at this time, as if they wanted to find out the details of Ye Tianlong first.
After seeing Ye Tianlong arrive, the first Nord royal guard wearing a set of hard leather armor immediately shouted at him and asked, "You are Ye Tianlong?" ”
"It's me! How many were sent by the Baron? Ye Tianlong observed the expressions of these people, and at the same time guessed in his heart the intention of the baron lord to suddenly come to invite him.
You know, he tried his best to give gifts before, but he couldn't meet the other party! As a result, it was only a few days later, but the other party took the initiative to send someone to invite him to meet, which naturally had to make Ye Tianlong suspect that this would be a Hongmen banquet.
However, after Ye Tianlong observed the expressions of these soldiers, he didn't notice anything unusual, although these guys looked a little arrogant, but Ye Tianlong didn't feel any killing intent from them.
And after these guys conveyed that the baron was going to meet him at noon today, they left immediately, and did not stay to continue to supervise Ye Tianlong, or directly escorted Ye Tianlong to meet the baron.
This made Ye Tianlong preliminarily judge that the baron should have no ill will towards him, which is also a good thing, after all, a mere Baron Thor is naturally nothing, but behind it is the Nord Kingdom with tens of thousands of soldiers, and the forces on this side of the world are still very weak, and it is good not to fight with him.
However, for the sake of insurance, Ye Tianlong is not ready to go to the appointment alone, after all, who knows if the baron will suddenly change his mind and turn his face!
So the best way is to bring a few more team members with you, and when the situation is not right, you can also cover each other and kill out.
And now there are several team members under Ye Tianlong, among which there are four with relatively strong combat effectiveness, the strongest is naturally his master Li Rufeng, followed by Luo Chenguang, a veteran, followed by Murong Jie and Zhou Jiale, if these four people go together, Ye Tianlong feels that even if the baron ambushes the army, he can kill all the way.
The only question now is how his master's injuries are recovering, and whether it will affect the battle.
When Ye Tianlong found Li Rufeng, the other party was holding a single knife in his hand, this single knife was very simple in appearance, it looked like an ordinary straight-edged war knife, the blade was about one meter long, but the surface of the knife body was tinged with a strange black, which was obviously an alloy war knife mixed with some rare metals.
After Li Rufeng was familiar with the performance of this combat knife, she was also very satisfied with this new weapon, this single knife was much stronger than the spear she had used for more than ten years in terms of sharpness, toughness and sturdiness.
Murong Jie couldn't help but smile when he saw that Li Rufeng, the master, was satisfied, after all, he was only a registered disciple of Li Rufeng like everyone else, and Murong Jie, who had excellent martial arts qualifications, was naturally unwilling to be a registered disciple all the time, this time he had the opportunity to please this master, he naturally had to do his best, so this ordinary-looking single knife would be so well-built by him.
And Li Rufeng, after hearing about Ye Tianlong's intention, said that her injuries had recovered seven or eight times, as long as she didn't encounter a fierce fight with a master of the same realm as her, even if she used force, it would have no effect on the injury, so she could go to the appointment with Ye Tianlong at that time.
In addition, she asked Murong Jie to build this single knife, in fact, it was to facilitate the teaching of Ye Tianlong's knife technique, and since there was a possibility of a battle in the future, she just used this morning to teach Ye Tianlong a few knife techniques.
Li Rufeng is going to teach Ye Tianlong's knife technique called "Thirty-six Styles of Quick Knife", although the name of this set of knife techniques sounds very similar to the kind of third-rate martial arts that are big roads, but in fact, this knife technique from the once fast knife door is extremely exquisite, and its master Guo Sheng was a master at the level of a great grandmaster, and Liu Tianba, the founding emperor of the Xinghan Empire who had just stepped into the realm of heaven and man, could live several moves.
It's a pity that the greater the power of the sect, the more terrible the suppression after that, the fast knife gate that has been inherited for hundreds of years completely disappeared in the martial arts seven years ago, and its last descendant was seriously injured and left this sword technique to Li Rufeng before he died.
After Li Rufeng got this knife technique, he also practiced it for a while, although he couldn't say that he was proficient, but it was more than enough to teach Ye Tianlong, a rookie who had never learned any knife technique.
Ye Tianlong was also very happy to hear that his master was going to teach him knife techniques, and at the same time felt the carefulness of this master, the other party must have noticed that he liked to use knives, so he specially asked Murong Jie to create such a single knife to teach himself knife techniques.
And Ye Tianlong is obviously not the only one who sees this, Zhou Jiale obviously also sees it, this guy complains that the master is too partial, and at the same time stalks on the side and says that he wants Li Rufeng to teach him a swordsmanship, after all, in Zhou Jiale's opinion, this swordsman with a sword looks chic and handsome! Most of the time, this sword technique is used by those villains or dragon characters, so if he wants to learn it, he naturally has to learn handsome swordsmanship.
Li Rufeng was so entangled by this guy that he had no choice but to promise to teach Ye Tianlong a superior swordsmanship after teaching him the swordsmanship.
After dealing with Zhou Jiale, Li Rufeng could finally start to concentrate on teaching Ye Tianlong's knife technique.
Li Rufeng first demonstrated the "Thirty-six Styles of Fast Knife" to Ye Tianlong, although she obviously did not use all her strength and deliberately slowed down the speed of her moves, but Ye Tianlong was still a little dazzled when he first passed it, especially the further he went, the faster this set of knife techniques became, and his eyes almost couldn't keep up with the speed of his master's moves.
After demonstrating the knife technique to Ye Tianlong, Li Rufeng began to explain this set of knife techniques to the splitting of one move at a time, so that Ye Tianlong could grasp the subtleties of this knife technique faster.
And Ye Tianlong is worthy of being a martial arts genius with top qualifications, even if it is such a subtle and complex sword technique, after Li Rufeng explained it carefully, he immediately comprehended five or six percent. After that, he took the initiative to ask Li Rufeng about some incomprehensions, and his comprehension of this sword technique was about to reach seventy percent.
In order to verify his learning results, Li Rufeng began to practice with Ye Tianlong, and found that the other party was really able to use the whole set of knife techniques decently, and then the other party only needed to continue to practice more, deepen muscle memory, and then it could be as if it was a conditioned reflex, and he could quickly use this set of knife techniques without thinking. After that, it is necessary to carefully understand the purpose and meaning of each style of this set of knife techniques, and be able to use the moves in the battle in an improvisation, rather than following the order of the moves one by one as now.
One of the two taught attentively, the other concentrated on learning, and the morning passed quickly.
In order not to miss the meeting with the baron, Ye Tianlong hastily ate a few steamed buns, and then took Li Rufeng, Zhou Jiale, Murong Jie and Luo Chenguang to rush towards the town of Naodasang.
Of course, because it was the first time they met, Ye Tianlong did not forget to bring a lot of gifts, after all, his original plan was to win the favor of the baron by giving gifts, and then obtain a knighthood from the other party, and finally divide the land with a large number of yellow wax stones buried in him to him.
Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, now that he has the opportunity to see the other party, Ye Tianlong naturally wants to fight for it.
Because they knew that this time it might be a Hongmen banquet, Zhou Jiale and Murong Jie were both a little nervous along the way, but Luo Chenguang and Li Rufeng both seemed very calm, after all, one of these two people was a veteran who might have a lot of lives on his hands, and the other was a martial arts master who turned his strength into cultivation, so naturally he would not be afraid of fighting.
As for Ye Tianlong himself, he didn't feel much nervousness, probably because he had killed a lot of people after entering the world of riding and slashing.
Since several people were on horseback, it took less than half an hour to reach the small town of Odasan.
The few guards at the gate of the city had obviously been notified a long time ago, and seeing the arrival of the heavily armed Ye Tianlong and others, they let the group go without even interrogating them.
After Ye Tianlong and the others rode into the town quickly, they found that the atmosphere in the town seemed to be a little tense, all the shops on the street were closed, only some of the more courageous townspeople dared to open the door slightly to observe Ye Tianlong and his party, and the others all closed their doors, as if they were afraid that Ye Tianlong and they would break in and kill people.
This situation made Murong Jie and Zhou Jiale even more nervous, and on the way to the castle of the Baron of Sol, the two began to frequently check the weapons and equipment they were carrying, and seemed to be ready to do it at any time.
The castle of the Baron of Sol was the tallest building in the town, so it was easy to find, and Ye Tianlong and the others quickly arrived at the gate of the castle.
There, the Baron Thor was also fully armed and waiting for Ye Tianlong and them, and behind him, there were three burly men with giant axes.
These three people all gave Ye Tianlong a faint sense of threat, it was likely that his strength had reached the standard of Ming Jin, as for the Baron Thor, his height was close to two meters, even if he was wearing heavy armor, he could not hide his well-developed muscles, just this kind of little giant-like body, even if it was a completely different martial art, relying on brute force alone would definitely not be low, and he was really worthy of being a strongman who could be promoted from an ordinary soldier at the bottom all the way to a real nobleman by virtue of his military merits.
Suddenly, Ye Tianlong's eyes froze, and he saw an acquaintance, who was the old butler Potts, who was leaning into the ear of the Baron Sol and saying something.
And with his muttering whispers, the face of the Baron Sol seemed to become darker and darker, which made Ye Tianlong immediately understand that the old guy Potts must be taking the opportunity to give him eye medicine, which couldn't help but make Ye Tianlong's killing intent towards him even stronger, after all, he is not a virgin who likes to repay grievances with virtue, since this Potts has repeatedly opposed him, then he must be prepared to bear his revenge.
"What is Potts butler talking about? Why don't you speak out loud and let us all hear it! Since he had already sentenced him to death in his heart, Ye Tianlong naturally wouldn't give him face, and shouted loudly across a suspension bridge from a distance.
Ye Tianlong's fearless attitude also made the housekeeper of Napots pause, as if he had thought of something, and did not dare to continue to slander in the ears of Baron Sol, but replied to Ye Tianlong with a smiling face: "Little brother Ye Tianlong, this is my master, Baron Sol, haven't you always wanted to see him before!" I have never forgotten this matter, and today I will tell him about it as soon as I have free time, you see the old man, I am interesting! ”
