In the inner courtyard of Taohuawu Fort.

In Sima Lan's room.

The candles are brightly lit, and the figures are in pairs.

Sima Ge stood respectfully in front of his young lady and reported the situation in the pine forest: "Miss, the killer female leader is as beautiful as a flower. She is at least a second-rate warrior, but her neck bones were twisted with huge force and she will die with her eyes open!"

"Based on the traces of the fight at the scene, it was Prince Huang who fought her to the death!"

"As a result, Prince Huang lives and the female killer dies!"

Sima Lan frowned slightly: "Did the prince kill that female killer?"

Sima Ge was not sure: "It should be!"

"should?"

"right!"

Sima Ge was a little unsure: "No trace of the third person was found at the scene, so it should be Prince Huang who killed him."

"But, here's the strange thing...Prince Huang obviously has no internal Qi in his body. How can he kill a second-rate martial arts expert?"

"It's better to break the neck!"

Sima Lan thought for a moment, then frowned: "Perhaps, a third person appeared there, but there was no trace left."

"It should be this third person who killed the killer in black!"

Sima Ge was slightly startled: "Congratulations, Miss!"

"It's totally possible!"

"However, a master who can leave no traces on the snow...must reach the master level!"

Sima Lan said enigmatically: "Not necessarily!"

"There are many strange people among the people. It is possible to practice Qinggong without leaving any trace on the snow."

Sima Ge nodded: "It is possible!"

suddenly.

Sima Lan frowned again, and more questions arose in her heart: "Your Majesty knows that the female killer in black is stronger than him, why did he follow her?"

Sima Ge shook his head!

"Why isn't the prince afraid of her?"

Sima Ge continued to shake his head.

"Who is the third person who appears?"

"Does the prince have a protector secretly?"

Sima Ge was a little dizzy after being asked: "Miss, go ask him!"

"I don't know!"

"Pfft..."

Sima Lan couldn't help laughing, and smiled brightly: "Xiao Ge is right. Instead of guessing about these things here, it is better to ask him for answers."

"but......"

A gleam of wisdom flashed in Sima Lan's beautiful eyes: "If he wants to tell me something, there's no need to ask."

"If he doesn't want to tell me, there's no point in asking!"

"I can afford to wait...my fiancée is getting more and more interesting!"

not far away.

A room in the inner courtyard of Wubao has been used as a temporary warehouse for storing loot.

Xia Tian stood in the house, supervising Xiao Bai, Gao Fei and Lu Shu as they counted the loot.

In this battle, the guard camp was not damaged at all, and the hundreds of black-clothed killers who came in were killed, and the harvest was huge:

A thousand taels of gold tickets were seized.

The banknote is thirty thousand taels.

A long sword with a hundred horizontal blades and ten pieces of soft armor.

Xiaobai was a little excited: "Your Majesty, these killers in black are really money-giving boys!"

"Perhaps, they knew that the prince's rewards had been exchanged for supplies and they were short of money, so they sent it to them without hesitation!"

"Hahaha......"

Gao Fei laughed loudly and bowed his hands in salute: "Your Majesty, the most valuable thing is actually the hundred war horses!"

"That's the best bloody horse in the Sirius Army!"

"In Daxia, such a war horse can be sold for a thousand taels of silver. It is still priceless but has no market!"

Xiaobai counted with his fingers and his eyes brightened: "Then these hundred war horses can be sold for one hundred thousand taels of silver?"

"certainly!"

Lu Shu nodded seriously: "On the black market, the price would be doubled!"

Xiaobai couldn't help but smacked his lips: "Your Majesty, we are really rich!"

Lu Shu raised his eyelids: "My lord, the only one who can get so many bloody horses... is the prince!"

"Hehehe..."

Xia Tian smiled faintly and stopped Lu Shu from continuing: "Manager Bai, this is just a small windfall, which is better than nothing!"

"Dahuang Prefecture is a poor and poor place. To build it into a paradise, the amount of money and resources required is astronomical."

"You have to be mentally prepared!"

Xiaobai's face became solemn: "Don't worry, Prince, I will definitely use every copper plate on the blade according to your instructions!"

beside.

Gao Fei didn't frown and murmured to himself: "Your Majesty is right, we still need to make money!"

at this time.

The old ghost's voice sounded at the door: "Your Majesty, Mr. Bai, Commander Lu, Commander Gao, I have an immature idea and I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"

"Hehehe..."

Xia Tian couldn't help but smile: "Old ghost, you have come here to speak... Then just say it happily!"

"Hey hey hey..."

The old ghost is still lying on a simple stretcher, being carried by four wounded soldiers: "Your Majesty, my father is a bandit, and my mother is also a bandit, so I have been living in a bandit village since I was born.

"

"It's just that my parents are different from ordinary bandits. They only plunder ill-gotten gains and generally don't kill people."

"Later, there were fewer and fewer bullies around the cottage, and our cottage had fewer and fewer targets to grab!"

"There is no other way. My parents have no choice but to disband the village, and the gangsters have no choice but to go their separate ways!"

Xia Tian was a little surprised: "What happened next?"

There was a trace of sadness in the old ghost's eyes: "Later, my parents took me down the mountain and were killed by those vicious bandits."

"I was pushed off the cliff and fell into the river. I luckily survived and wandered to the imperial capital!"

"And my village has also become a stronghold for those vicious bandits."

A cold light flashed in Xia Tian's eyes: "Where is that cottage?"

"Menghu Mountain in Huangquan County is 200 miles away from Dahuang Prefecture. If we keep taking the official road, we will pass by there!"

Xia Tian asked again: "You should have been paying attention to that place these years, right?"

"yes!"

The old ghost gritted his teeth and said: "The revenge of killing my parents is irredeemable. I will not avenge it, and I swear I will not be a human being!"

"My enemies are still alive and are still doing all kinds of evil in Tiger Mountain. After twenty years of robbery, they have gathered countless wealth and become the headquarters of the Qingzhou Underworld Alliance. My enemy has also become the leader of the Dahuang State Underworld!"

"Your Majesty, the reason why I pretended to be from the imperial capital and joined the army was because I wanted to gain fame in the army. One day, I would be strong enough to avenge my parents!"

"However, I have always been unlucky. Although I have experienced hundreds of battles, I was injured in every battle, and my merits were misappropriated by the superior officials."

"So, although I have a high prestige among my comrades, so far, I have achieved nothing."

"I'm really ashamed to say it!"

Xia Tian understood the old ghost's mind: "The reason why you told me this is not because you want to use my hand to avenge you!"

The old ghost shook his head vigorously: "No!"

The smile on Xia Tian's face became even bigger: "You want to tell me... most of the gangsters on our journey are rich, right?"

The old ghost said happily: "Yes!"

"Your Majesty, we now have hundreds of bloody horses. We can use the bandits to train our troops along the way. This will not only improve our combat power, but also collect wealth for my palace in Huangzhou. Kill two birds with one stone!"

The old ghost's idea coincides with Xia Tian's.

"Hahaha......"

Xia Tian laughed heartily: "What do the two commanders think?"

Lu Shu and Gao Fei's eyes flashed with excitement: "Your Majesty, heroes have the same vision!"

"Hahaha......"

The four of them looked at each other and laughed heartily.

it is more than words.

at this time.

A one-eyed wounded soldier ran into the inner courtyard: "Your Majesty, there is someone outside Wubao asking to see you!"

Xia Tian's smile faded: "Who?"
