Chapter 4 The Hwarang Messenger (Part 1)
What Hong Yu asked them to do was to find out the location where Baili Shengshi was retreating. Hong Yu wanted to destroy Baili Shengshi and to overcome the gates, at least he had to know where this guy was retreating.
After he told the mission, Zhuang Ze's expression remained unchanged, but he also mentioned that their Death Dead Men of the Underworld have not been in the martial arts for a long time and are not familiar with this place. So it is best to have local people to help.
Hong Yu called Hong Shen in again, and the peripheral personnel that Hong Shen could use just made up for this shortcoming.
So everyone discussed it, and Zhuang Ze took the order and left.
Hong Shen probably understood Hong Yu's purpose. When Zhuang Han and Zhuang Ze went out, he said to Hong Yu: "Young Master, any place where you are in seclusion must be strictly guarded. Moreover, the quiet room used for seclusion has at least half a meter thick rock around it, and there may be iron plates in the middle. With such a degree of defense, even if you find the location, with our current strength, it will not be able to interfere with the prosperous age of Baili."
Hong Yu had other plans in his mind: "I always have to give it a try." Hong Shen didn't know what to say.
...
In the next few days, Zhuang Ze acted secretly, but he never found the location. Hong Yu was not in a hurry. Anyway, there was Bai Wanchen behind the Hong family, so he was not very worried about this matter.
On this day, Hong Yu invited Mr. Wang from Yun's craftsman and Mr. Zhao from Huaxia Bookstore to inquire about the situation of the two industries.
Yun's craftsmanship is booming. With the golden sign Sun Banshan, although Yun's craftsmanship is still not comparable to the Daxia God Workshop, he has already been ranked alongside Dongwen, Ling Tian and Fengwu, becoming the four major weapons workshops.
Recently, Zhanggui Wang and Yun Siyan have recruited many skilled craftsmen to increase their investment in new experimental weapons and armor. The results have been shown in the first place. The mid- and low-end armor weapons created are more effective than the other three companies.
I believe that in a while, I will be able to surpass the other three companies in terms of reputation. What comes with it is huge benefits. Now the monthly profit of Yun's craftsmanship is 150,000 taels of silver, and it is still steadily increasing. Ninety percent of this belongs to Hong Yu.
In Hong Yu's layout, Yun's craftsmanship was used to make money, and Huaxia Bookstore used it to make reputation.
The publication of the martial arts classics of the Huaxia Bookstore has begun to show results. The basic martial arts classics printed with the preface written by Hong Shengri have been bought throughout the Daxia. This behavior of benefiting the people is gradually being praised by everyone. The Time magazine, which Hong Yu is more concerned about, has gradually increased its circulation. In Wudu, it has already sold 8,000 copies, and has set up branches in ten major cities, but its timeliness is not as good as Wudu.
Huaxia Bookstore has been losing money, and can only barely protect the money when publishing martial arts classics. Time magazine has suffered serious losses. Huaxia Bookstore normally loses 50,000 taels of silver every month, but Hong Yu doesn't care about this little silver.
After listening to the report, Hong Yu encouraged him and sent the two away and took Hong Shen out of the city. He was going to go to Hushan to see the mother and son of Tianzun.
When he came out of the noble district, he happened to meet the eldest prince, and a complete set of princely ceremonial guards went to the north gate of Wudu. The eldest prince saw him and waved to him: "Hong Yu!"
Hong Yu had no choice but to go over and asked after seeing the ceremony: "What are your highness going to do?"
The eldest prince was a little reluctant to do the job: "The envoy from Hualang Kingdom has arrived, and my father ordered me to go out of the city to greet him. He said that he would familiarize me with diplomatic matters."
Hong Yu said smoothly: "This is a good thing, why are you still worried?"
The eldest prince smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know the envoys of Hualang Kingdom... It just so happens that you are fine, go with me."
Hong Yu refused: "I have something to do..."
The eldest prince grabbed him and said, "I finally found someone who accompanied me to the sea of fire, how can I let it go, together..."
Outside the north gate of Wudu, about a dozen miles, the group walked slowly.
This team is about ten people, not big in size, and they are not tall in size. The clothing cost in Daxia can be considered as the standard of a medium-sized family. However, these people are very proud, riding on horses with their heads raised, and looking at the people coming and going on the roads around them with a pity.
"Sir, Xiao Xia's people are so unfortunate."
"Yes, sir, look at these people, riding such tall horses is inconvenient to get on horses. They are not as good as the horses produced by our Hualang. They are just the same size and are more convenient to ride."
"And look at their horses, they are too fast, how uncomfortable it is. It's better for us, the speed is just right."
"Sir, the smooth silk they wear is not good for the skin, and it is said that it is extremely warm, so how can it be compared to the cotton cloth produced by our Hualang? It is simple and generous, and it is rough and rough to maintain the skin."
"Hey, sir, look, Xiao Xia and other people are so miserable. They eat so much fat. How can they be as healthy as our daily simple meals?"
No matter what, a group of people think that everything about Hualang is the best.
Seeing the majestic Wudu looking at them, this ancient city completely shocked them. After a while, the lord turned around and sat on the horse and said quietly: "This city is big, but it is far from being close to nature as our Hualang capital..."
"Yes, yes, what the lord said is, you can see that the city has to go so far, unlike our Emperor Capital defending the city, and you can go out for a walk with a few horse whips."
A group of toads who were watching the sky from a well still firmly believed that everything in the world was not as good as their Hualang. Dahualang is the awesome, the strongest, and the best!
Near the North City Gate, the eldest prince's ceremonial guards were already lined up outside the city gate. Compared to the fact that there were only a dozen missions in the Hualang Kingdom, the eldest prince was crowded with people.
The complete set of ceremonial guards of the Emperor of Daxia was 1,080.
The prince's complete set of ceremonies was 360 people, and the prince's ceremonies were 108 people.
The mission of Hualang Kingdom was a little scared when he saw the followers wearing silk and satin and holding various ceremonial soldiers. He whispered and muttered, "What are they doing for so many people?"
But they didn't know that Daxia was like this.
In Hualang, there are few people in the land. Emperor Hualang traveled, and there were only thirty-six people in the entire set of ceremonial wars. Have you ever seen such a big formation?
The eldest prince was a little impatient and was chatting with Hong Yu. Hong Yu was a little surprised: "Isn't Hualang Kingdom in our east? Why didn't they enter through the east gate?"
