Zhu Wen left the General Building and stood on the steps, watching all this quietly with complicated eyes.
It was originally an abandoned city where refugees and horse bandits gathered. Who would have thought that in just two days it would come to life and create such a scene!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that all of this came from Li Wenhao.
An unknown, even rumored to be a bit useless concubine of the Hou family!
"Master Zhu, you got up early!"
Li Wenhao walked out with a small package in his hand and breathed: "This is my gift to the imperial concubine and your majesty. Several bottles of perfume and two bottles of liquor. Please send them back to Kyoto together."
"Seventh Young Master is interested!" Zhu Wen took it with a smile, and a strong aroma of wine and something similar to women's powder came out.
He didn't care what the perfume was. The key was that he had never smelled this wine before, and the alcohol content should be very high. Just a slight sniff made him feel tipsy.
"Seventh Young Master, this liquor of yours is not ordinary. Could it be the fairy liquor brewed by the Qi Practitioner sect!" Zhu Wen [New Biquge www.biqule.info] said in surprise.
"That's right, the quantity is not much, otherwise I would have invited Mr. Zhu to have a drink!" Li Wenhao said awkwardly.
In fact, he still had some liquor, but he didn't want to take out too much, as scarcity is more valuable than anything else!
Moreover, the packaging also needs to be changed, the perfume is replaced by jade bottles, and the liquor is replaced by porcelain bottles. It is too troublesome, and he does not have so many suitable bottles.
"Such a treasure, how could a lower official be qualified?" Zhu Wen waved his hand with a wry smile.
"Hmph, since you are going to pick up my brother, why don't you bring more people with you? What can you do with just a thousand riders?"
Ma Linglong walked out wearing a veil and her eyes were red. Her body was filled with fragrance, attracting several bees to wander around her.
"We are going to support them. If there are too many people, we will be easily exposed. Besides, my thousand riders are not just an ordinary thousand. You will know when we get outside the city!"
Li Wenhao comforted her nicely, although he was only telling Ma Linglong that he was worried about Taiping Road leaking secrets, so he went to respond in advance.
But the little girl is very smart. She seems to have noticed something, so she captured Huixin last night and is still locked up in a small dark room.
I don’t know if Huixin, this unlucky kid, has any luck. How pitiful...!
Li Wenhao learned the news, and in order to protect himself, he quickly sent two bottles of perfume, which seemed to be effective.
"Miss Ma, the seventh young master is right. He has a thousand horses, and he is the only one in the entire southwest!" Zhu Wen was helping.
"Hmph!" Ma Linglong didn't have a good face towards Jin Wuwei and Li Wenhao. She got on her horse with a few of her men and headed straight out of the city!
"Master Zhu, don't be offended!"
Li Wenhao hugged Zhu Wen. To be honest, he felt a little sorry for the Ma family siblings. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't be in this crisis.
The group of people left the city and saw a thousand cavalry already lined up, especially more than a hundred black-armored wolf cavalry. Ma Linglong's little face finally looked much better.
"Where did you get these hundred black wolf riders? I've never seen them before."
"Of course it is raised in the mountains. This wind wolf eats meat. How can I afford to raise it in the city?"
Li Wenhao smiled and said, he said this to Ma Linglong, but also to Zhu Wen, so as to save them from making random guesses.
Speeding north along the Qingshui River, all the horse bandits encountered on the road were eliminated by the Black Wolf Riders. The lightning-fast speed made Ma Linglong drool. She immediately felt that her beloved black wildebeest was no longer favourable, and she was helpless.
Looking at Li Wenhao.
Li Wenhao felt relieved and gave him a little Swift Wolf cub. Ma Linglong hugged the little wolf cub, and the little tiger's teeth were grinding together.
"The system gave me a little mythical beast, and I gave you a little wolf cub. Is it wrong?" Li Wenhao expressed his innocence.
The Langya Kingdom is a slave-system country, and the king is the largest slave owner. Along the way, I passed a small town in the Langya Kingdom and found that most of the slaves were actually people from the Great You Dynasty.
Li Wenhao was furious on the spot. If he hadn't rushed to rescue Ma Yidao, he would have massacred the town.
"Remember this place. When you come back, go here to kill all the Langya people and rescue your compatriots!"
"Kill all the Langya people and rescue our compatriots!"
"Kill all the Langya people and rescue our compatriots!"
"Kill all the Langya people and rescue our compatriots!"
The soldiers shouted angrily, and even several Jinwu Guards also shouted, which made Zhu Wen break into cold sweat: "Seventh Young Master, don't act recklessly, now is not the time to anger the Langya people!"
Li Wenhao smiled. Zhu Wen's performance made him more sure that Li Wenheng definitely wanted to paralyze King Langya so that he could take down Langya King's city in one go.
"General, there are eighteen turns ahead!"
At dusk, a sentry came to report that they had arrived at their destination. The Tea-Huang Ancient Road leads to the Turks, the three forks in the Western Regions, and the famous Eighteen Bends.
"Encamp the whole army!
Share these animal taming rations and marching pills with everyone, ten marching pills for each person."
Li Wenhao gave the order, took out a big bag and threw it on the ground.
There are now more than one million Marching Pills, which looks like a lot, but in fact it is not used at all. It is only enough for 10,000 people for more than three months, so I don't want to use it on a daily basis.
"These things must have been given by the imperial concubine!" Zhu Wen was surprised as he took a Marching Pill, which was of better quality than the ones used by their Jinwu Guards.
Not counting the animal taming food, if you take ten marching pills per person, that's a total of ten thousand pills!
I originally thought that Concubine Xi had no family background, but I didn't expect that the real person would secretly give so many resources to her nephew without showing her face.
"About that, it's not much actually!" Li Wenhao spoke vaguely and without saying anything, he ran towards a high ground on horseback.
Zhu Wen, Ma Linglong, and a hundred black wolf cavalry followed closely behind.
Shibawan is a hilly and ravine terrain with complicated twists and turns, and many locals get lost in it.
It is a hiding place for surrounding horse bandits and the best area to rob passing caravans. From time to time, there are also some Turks operating in this area.
"Master Zhu, are you sure they have all entered here?" Li Wenhao opened the ten-mile sand table and looked at the intricate ravines, which gave him a headache.
If it weren't for the ten-mile sandbox, he wouldn't dare to enter a place like this.
If you get lost and cannot find water within a few days, your entire army will be wiped out!
"Seventh Young Master, I got the exact news. This morning, Ma Yidao, Sai Shang Hei, and several other groups of horse bandits, numbering about seven or eight thousand people, entered the Eighteenth Turn together.
The terrain here is too complex, so I think it’s better to stay outside and wait until there is definite news before entering." Zhu Wen looked at the eighteen turns in front of him and frowned involuntarily.
He had heard of this place, but had never been there. Now that he saw it in person, it was even more dangerous than the rumors said, and he felt a little scared.
"Coward, you don't dare to come in, I'll go find it myself!" Ma Linglong raised her little head and spoke angrily, her big eyes full of contempt and disgust.
