After eating the food delivered by the inn in the room, Wang Yong, Kevin, and Vani went out to see if they could buy a map and horses.

After inquiring about the guys at the inn, Wang Yong and the three of them went directly to the commercial street in the east of the city, where they sold everything.

Wang Yong pursed his lips and thought with disdain: "The bicycle is definitely not sold." ”

When Wang Yong and the others arrived at the commercial street, Wang Yong and Kevin were a little dizzy, this place is much bigger than Xinji City, I don't know how much, the streets are intricate, the crowd is endless, and if you don't get it right, you will get lost.

The three of them entered the store without crowds, but they were surprised to find that there were no customers inside, not a single customer to be exact, only an old man sitting behind the counter dozing.

Finding Wang Yong and them coming in, the old man Lima came to his senses, stood up and greeted Wang Yong and the others, and said: "A few of you are here to buy a map, then you have found the right place, my map here is the best map of the entire Maitreya City, not only the mountain roads and waterways are drawn, but even some hidden paths are marked, I don't know where you want to buy the map?"

Wang Yong walked to the counter and took a look, and said angrily: "Gentlemen, don't brag about that with me, we are also eating in this area, I can see at a glance if the map is detailed, don't fool me with those copycats." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Look at what you said, I am the most honest in doing business, which city do you want? ”

Wang Yong said disapprerovingly: "First of all, let's take a map near Zhang Maitreya City, and I'll see if there is even a record of the path as you said." ”

The old man didn't mind, and quickly found a leather roll from behind the counter and handed it to Wang Yong.

Wang Yong opened it and took a look, and found that this map was indeed much more detailed than the one drawn by Lei, Wang Yong nodded with satisfaction, tilted his neck and asked, "How big is your largest map?"

The old man replied without hesitation, "It depends on how big the skin is, and the largest one here is three meters long."

As soon as Wang Yong heard this, he knew that the old man had misunderstood, so he interrupted him and said, "I'm not asking you about the size of the map, I'm asking about the size of the area drawn in the map." ”

The old man glanced at what Wang Yong and the three of them were wearing and said, "That's the case, I thought you were going to hang it at home for decoration." I have an empire-level map here, and there are maps of several nearby countries, but they are not very detailed, and I can only see the general direction and the location of some larger cities. Also, the national map is very expensive, one for five gold coins at the kingdom level, and one for ten gold coins for the empire, are you sure you want to buy it?"

Hearing this price, Wang Yong couldn't help but open his mouth, and said with a surprised face: "Damn, why is it so expensive?" That's a gold coin, Wang Yong and Kevin worked tirelessly for half a year to earn more than a dozen silver coins, just then a broken map costs ten gold coins, and it's not a world map. Although Wang Yong made a small fortune, it was also very painful to hear this price.

The old man saw that Wang Yong's face was cloudy, and he had the intention of turning around and leaving, for this business that had finally come to the door, the old man didn't want to let it go so easily, so he hurriedly explained: "My map here is cheap in the whole city, if you go to the royal capital to buy it, you have to triple the price." ”

Wang Yong thought about it, now is not the time to save money, being able to go back safely is the most important thing, so he gritted his teeth, his expression was distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Buy a map of each of the three nearby empires and three kingdoms, and give you a total of thirty gold coins, if you don't sell it, we will leave immediately." ”

The old man saw that Wang Yong wanted to buy so much, it was a big deal, but after hearing the price given by Wang Yong, his eyes rolled and said: "Don't, you cut the price by 30% at this time, and my map is also collected from the mercenaries at a high price, you add ten more gold coins, or I won't even be able to recover the capital." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he saw that Wang Yong was still looking at him with his neck crooked, and he didn't mean to talk at all, so he asked, "What do you think?"

Wang Yongzheng was thinking: "Calling this old man 'old man' is more respectful than calling him 'master', maybe the old man will sell the map for thirty gold coins as soon as he is happy." ”

But when the old man asked, Wang Yong was in a hurry, his brain was confused, and he subconsciously blurted out: "Old man, I only give out thirty gold coins, you can sell it, and if you don't sell it, forget it." After saying that, Wang Yong himself was stupid, and felt that this 'old man' was too classic.

Looking at the old man again, after hearing Wang Yong's address to him, he kept looking at Wang Yong in a daze, with a look of disbelief.

Seeing this, Wang Yong thought very proudly: "It seems that this sentence 'old man' is very lethal." ”

After the old man reflected, he was scolded, Wang Yong quickly apologized, and finally spent thirty-five gold coins to buy the map.

Out of the store, Kevin and Vani happily gave Wang Yong a thumbs up, saying that Wang Yong's sentence just now was really remarkable, and it can be called a classic among the classics.

After that, the three of them found a place to sell their horses, and after some bargaining, they bought eight sturdy-looking horses for a hundred gold coins, with which they could travel faster and return home sooner.

Then, the three of them led the horses to several restaurants, packed a lot of food, and then put it into a space ring where no one was around, and kept it to eat on the road, so that they didn't have to hunt everywhere to find food when they were sleeping in the wild.

After making all the preparations that Wang Yong could think of, the three of them returned to the inn, returned to the room, Wang Yong took out the map, called everyone to study the route together, and finally, after some discussion, determined the next nearby and relatively safe route and two alternate routes, and agreed on several gathering places to prevent everyone from dispersing after encountering accidents.

The next morning, after breakfast, everyone mounted their horses and set out, and the speed of the march was more than doubled.

After more than ten days of trekking, the group finally arrived at the Liech City of the Aier Empire without danger.

At this time, Wang Yong and the others had already put on the high-end equipment they had obtained from the second prince, and each of them was wearing leather armor, carrying a big sword, and rode to the east gate of Liech City on their toes.

After the soldiers guarding the gate checked their identities and made a few casual inquiries, they entered the city of Liech and marched towards the temporary residence of Prince Sihami, the commander-in-chief of the war.

On the way back to the empire, Wang Yong, Lei He and others had already discussed, since there were people in the army who were targeting Lei He, they could not hand over the second prince of the enemy country to the army, and decided to hand it over directly to Prince Xihami.

Although it is a bit unetiquette to skip the level of the audience, it is also a way to do it. It is said that Prince Xihami was very prestigious in the empire and was also a military genius, and every war in the empire was because of his command to repel the enemy.

Wang Yong and the others have no background and no power, and if they capture the prince of the enemy country, they can only hand it over to the empire, although the ransom will be much less when it is distributed to them later, but it is much better than nothing.

When he arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion, Lei stepped forward to report his identity and explained that he had something important to ask to see Prince Xihami, and the guards at the gate did not make it difficult, so he went in directly to report.

Wang Yong asked Reagan in a low voice: "Didn't you say that the guards in the official's house are all fat? Why did this guard go to report without any oil and water?"

Reagan glanced at Wang Yong and said, "Where did you hear all this nonsense? The guards guarding the door are not fat. ”

They didn't have to wait long for the guards who had gone to report the return and told Reagan that the prince was in the study.

Lei ordered the others to wait outside, and then took Wang Yong and the second prince of the Luo Sen Empire into the mansion.

The guards led the way, took Lei He, Wang Yong, and the prince into the study, and then turned to leave, where Wang Yong finally met the legendary Prince of Xihami.

Prince Sihami was a fat man in his forties, with a kind appearance, with short black and purple hair, a wide and full forehead, slightly drooping eyebrows, a pair of small eyes that appeared smaller on his fat face, and a nose that was not tall and flattened, like a toad that had been crushed by a rolling mill.

The mouth is not small, and the lips are very thick, which makes Prince Xihami extremely down-to-earth and reliable. The most conspicuous thing is that he has a pair of big ears, I don't know how they grow, like the ears of a bodhisattva in Buddhism, no wonder some people call him Prince Big-eared.

After seeing Prince Xihami, Lei He bent down and made a noble salute, and said without humility or arrogance: "I have seen His Royal Highness Prince Xihami, I am Baron Lei and Hayala, and I am ordered to garrison the outpost on the southwest border of the first front. Then he pointed to Wang Yong and said, "He is Ivan, my subordinate officer." ”

Wang Yong stepped forward, struck his left chest with his right hand, gave a military salute, and said, "I've seen the sir." Wang Yong was not a nobleman, so he had to give a military salute as a soldier.

Prince Xihami nodded to Wang Yong with a smile, which was regarded as a return salute, and then turned his head and asked Lei He: "I heard that your outpost was captured more than ten days ago, how did you escape back, and do you have any military information to report to me?"

Ray sorted out the wording, and then said: "That's the case, at that time" Ray followed the outpost and began to talk about it, of course, Regan did not say that they ran away without resistance at all, but said that everyone resisted for more than three hours, and more than half of them were killed and wounded, and finally they broke out of the siege when they couldn't hold it anymore, and then went to the interior of the forest to hide.

Then he told what happened after that, saying that Wang Yong was a hero who saved everyone, and praised Wang Yong for how witty he was, leading them to avoid the encirclement of the enemy, and how brave Wang Yong was, and how he captured the second prince of the enemy country by himself.

As for the space ring and other loot, Regan didn't say a word.

In the end, Reagan pointed to the second prince and said, "He is the second prince of the Lawson Empire." ”

Now the second prince looks very decadent, his face is full of stubble, and his face is still dirty and full of dust, because he has been in a long and uninterrupted hurry, and he has not had a good rest in the middle, for this second prince who is spoiled in the Luosen Empire and has not suffered much, it is simply torture, so the current second prince looks listless.

Prince Xihami glanced at the second prince with a black face covered in mud, and said to the guards beside him, "Take him to wash first, and then bring him over." "The guards took the order and left with the second prince.

Prince Xihami asked Regan: "How do you prove his identity?" Lei nodded to Wang Yong, Wang Yong took off the package behind him, took out the identity badge of the second prince and the flag representing the royal family of the Luosen Empire and handed it to Prince Xihami.

Prince Xihami was very happy after identifying them one by one, and laughed heartily and said: "Haha, good, very good, you have made a great contribution this time." We now have the second prince of the Lawson Empire as a hostage, and when the news reaches the Luosen Empire, they will have to send someone over to negotiate and redeem their prince, we can not only let them withdraw their troops, but also make them make compensation. Maybe because you captured this second prince, this war will end early. After saying that, he laughed out loud again.

After laughing, Prince Xihami said to Wang Yong: "You have made a great contribution, I will personally report to Your Majesty, such a meritorious service can at least make you a viscount, and you will soon become a nobleman, haha." ”

Then he said to Lei He: "You and your soldiers also have a lot of credit, and Your Majesty will also give you a reward." In this way, you will stay here first, and in less than a month, there will be a reply from Your Majesty, and you can live here in peace. ”

Seeing that Wang Yong and Reagan nodded in agreement, Prince Xihami said to the guards, "Help them arrange a better place to stay." ”

He said to Lei and Wang Yong again: "You go with him, if you need anything, just tell him, he will help you arrange everything, I am going to start preparing to negotiate with the Luosen Empire now, haha." ”

Lei He and Wang Yong retreated and followed the guards outside, and when they were about to reach the door, Lei He turned to Prince Xihami and said, "Your Royal Highness Prince Xihami, can I borrow the test crystal of fighting spirit and magic." ”

Prince Xihami was in a good mood, and said in a mocking tone: "Yes, but don't take it for me, remember to return it to me when you run out, I only have one piece of this thing." ”

Lei nodded and said, "His Royal Highness is laughing." Then he turned and left.
