Chapter 68: Sharpening the Knife
Dongling House, city wall.
Chen Chen stood on it, standing among the soldiers guarding the city, his clothes were slightly wet, and he didn't know how long he had been standing.
It was dark, and he didn't move.
It was bright and he still didn't move.
It wasn't until noon, when the sun was scorching, that he opened his eyes and his killing intent flashed.
"Zhou Kui and the two of them, they should be dead."
Two Inner Qi Realm martial artists, even if they were only internal Qi Realm martial artists who were forcibly promoted with the Black Blood Pill, would never be able to get lost and be injured by the beast: "This is a good thing, a great thing, Qiu Lao, you guessed it right." ”
On the side, the black-robed old man also stood for a long time, obviously extremely concerned about this matter, and said in a hoarse voice: "The old man has studied his past, since he came to Dongling Mansion, he has always practiced behind closed doors, and he can endure everything, and he does not act with great vigor. ”
"Only the Blue Butterflies!"
"The strength of the Tiger Zhai, the strength of Lu Jingtian and Yang Dongsheng is not bad, and Zhou Kun's ability to train soldiers is also good, but it is only a slight threat to Lan Yingdie, so he immediately goes up the mountain to destroy it, without the slightest hesitation."
"Now it is certain that this thing is extremely important to him, could it be that there is really an amazing skill in the world that absorbs spirit butterflies and grows?"
Qiu Di looked puzzled.
"According to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the 550,000 pairs of Blue Ying Butterflies he needs will be captured in four days at most, if you want to do it, as soon as possible."
News came from Yuejing that the innate real person of Qingniu Palace had successfully tortured and learned that he was behind the scenes, and had secretly sent a letter to the heads of the major righteous paths and sent a letter to the imperial court, requesting the removal of the Marquis of Zhendong.
There isn't much time left.
He has already lit the spiritual incense that connects with the Wolf God Sect Dharma King, and the Dharma King may come at any time, and Zhendong Hou Tang Wang will not let him out of the city, just in case he loses.
"It's past noon, and I'm afraid it's going to be close to night."
"There's no hurry."
Chen Chen clapped his hands and brought one person with him, it was Long San, the shopkeeper of the Dongling of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, he didn't suffer any abuse, but his clothes were a little messy between the pulls.
"Shopkeeper Long, I know that your Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has raised a kind of alien bird called the red-tailed falcon, which is very spiritual, even if it is far away in Dongling Mountain, it should be able to transmit the message, please send this thing to."
With a grim expression, he handed out an envelope.
"General Chen!"
Long San was not afraid of him, and said sharply: "My Four Seas Chamber of Commerce can get a seat even if I meet Hou Ye, you have brought me here like a prisoner, do you think that your strength and dignity have far surpassed Hou Ye after taking charge of the army?" ”
"Hugh is going to talk nonsense!"
Chen Chen's face changed slightly.
His strength, his subordinates are all from the Hou Mansion, although Zhendong Hou Tang Wang has the appearance of a hero, but he can't bear such subordinates.
"The skill of the mouthpiece of the dragon shopkeeper, I am far from it." Chen Chen said coldly: "However, you must know that it was the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce that got the courtesy of Lord Hou, not Long San. ”
"If the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will always know that you deliberately neglected the distinguished guests of the Hou Mansion and deliberately shirked it, what if it killed you?"
Ryuzo was silent.
He knew it was true.
The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is absolutely neutral, and the person in charge of the Dongling Mansion is the Marquis of Zhendong, so the Chamber of Commerce will cooperate with the other party, if Jiang Ding becomes the ruler of the Dongling Mansion one day, they will also cooperate with Jiang Ding's order to clear the remnants of the Hou Mansion.
Whoever is in power, they are whose position.
This is true for one prefecture and one county.
The same is true for a camp.
"That's it."
Long San knew that he couldn't stop it, even if he died, there would be someone in the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce who would carry out the orders of the Zhendong Hou Mansion.
……
Tweeted!
In the sky, there was a cheerful sound, and a red-tailed falcon flew out of nowhere, circled the camp for several weeks, and landed straight in one place.
As the distance gets closer, the letterhead at its tail is clearly visible.
Long Zhengwu looked at the red-tailed falcon that was approaching in the sky, his face was full of regret, and his bow hand shook a few times, but it didn't fall for a long time.
This red-tailed falcon is a spirit bird carefully cultivated by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce for hundreds of years, not only flies fast and high, but also knows at least dozens of people from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and can understand simple words.
The branches of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and they can combine their forces together, all relying on this bird as a communication.
Ten thousand gold is not worth as much as this thing.
Between breaths, the red-tailed falcon was already several meters away, and even the number on the letter box could be seen.
"Shoot!"
Long Zhengwu finally made up his mind, and waved his hand downward, and in an instant, more than ten arrows were fired.
Tweeted!
The red-tailed falcon screamed several times and tried to dodge, but it was still pierced through its wings by an arrow, and its flight trajectory twisted and twisted.
A pair of black eyes the size of a grain of rice stared at Long Zhengwu in confusion, but they still flew towards him.
Specks of blood fell to the ground.
Jiang Ding's eyes were cold, and a little bit of killing intent was undisguised, and the chill around him suddenly appeared.
"Childe! Slow, slow! ”
Long Zhengwu's eyes were quick, he tore down a piece of white cloth to cover the red-tailed falcon, handed it over, and said happily: "If you catch a wild bird, you will dedicate it to your son." ”
Jiang Ding glanced at him, and his hand left the hilt of the sword.
Flipping through the white cloth, a red-tailed falcon pounced, its sharp beak pecking at his face, and was grasped delicately.
Jiang Ding took out the letterbox, and with a shock of internal force, it turned into powder, and the injured red-tailed falcon was thrown back.
"I like it very much, but don't send it again, just put it to death."
Jiang Ding's face was slightly cold.
"Yes, don't worry."
Long Zhengwu carefully took the red-tailed falcon and touched its injured wing with regret.
Jiang Ding didn't delve into it and asked, "I still have more than 15,000 pairs of blue butterflies, how long will it take?" ”
550,000 pairs, not less than one pair.
The laboratory that can extract 'Blue Gold 2413' from the Blue Butterflies can only be done by the top laboratories in Xianmen, and Jiang Ding can't afford to pay the price they offer, so he can only use materials to pay for it.
"Four days, four days at most."
Long Zhengwu hurriedly said.
"I'll bid fifteen thousand taels! 100 times the price! ”
Jiang Ding said in a deep voice: "Tell the brothers, a pair of blue butterflies, one or two silver, but it's only for these two days, two days have passed, and not a penny will be given!" ”
didn't just say it verbally, he took out two silver tickets that totaled 15,000 taels and slapped them on the table, and his voice spread hundreds of meters around: "The silver, just put it here, store it here with Mr. Long, whoever has the ability, take it away for me!" ”
"If the silver can't be broken, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will make an IOU!"
When the words fell, the medicine pickers around the camp were suffocated, and their eyes quickly became hot.
One or two pieces of silver used to be enough for them to work for half a year.
All you need now is a pair of blue butterflies!
If you go down to the net, it is possible to have more than a dozen taels of silver, which is fishing for butterflies, obviously you are fishing for silver!
Even the warriors of the surrounding Four Seas Chamber of Commerce are about to go crazy, looking at the Dongling Mountain of Nuoda, it is like looking at the golden mountains!
The sound spread all around, one ten, ten hundreds, and the whole camp was a sensation.
After confirmation, not only the medicine pickers and idle farmers, but even the guards of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had red eyes, left their posts, and pounced into the mountains.
In the blink of an eye,
The camp was empty, and only a few Miu Miu were left.
Jiang Ding sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to cultivate.
The enthusiasm of thousands of people in the mountains was aroused, and regardless of the possible danger, a net of blue butterflies was constantly sent in, day and night.
The number of blue butterflies is increasing rapidly.
At the same time,
In the morning light, more than 100 heavily armored troops under the command of Chen Chen rode out of the city gate, silent.
"Ember Boy, why are you suddenly interested in that thief again?"
Chen Chen tilted his head and asked.
In addition to this person, Zhendong Hou attached great importance to this matter, and sent his in-laws, Zheng Ye, the head of the Zheng family, the 'Mixed Golden Knife', a total of three masters of internal qi perfection, among whom there were also people in the forefront of the dragon and phoenix list.
Yao Xiu, who is already the deputy leader of the Yiqi Gang, swept away and integrated the large and small gangs in the city with the support of the Hou Mansion, and his momentum has increased several times, and now he has more than ten internal qi realm martial artists in the gang as a 'loose horse'.
With such a force, it is idle to break through a city.
Originally, there was also the owner of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion, the 'Heaven Turning Monkey' Old Man Yuan, who shirked his serious illness and looked like he was dying, so it was not easy to persecute.
"Originally, I wasn't interested in a mortal caged beast."
Ember chuckled: "But since he can escape under the noses of so many people, this is a bit interesting, and he is qualified to be my whetstone." ”
