Chapter 115 People from the Xue Family Arrive
"Han Yan is really lucky this time! He actually won the young master's favor!"
"As long as he doesn't disappoint the young master, he'll definitely be blessed with wealth and honor in the future..."
Hearing the murmurs, Su Luo smiled faintly: "Don't be envious, everyone. After all, everyone has such an opportunity!"
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. As long as you have the ability and are willing to show it, I will definitely not let you down!"
The privates' eyes burned even brighter.
Su Luo added, "This operation is an extra mission, separate from the training... As long as the warhorses arrive, each person will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"
These words caused an uproar, and all the privates' breathing became rapid.
Clear distinction between rewards and punishments!
Only in this way can we win people's hearts!
Su Luo laughed too. In fact, even if everyone took fifty taels, it would only amount to less than ten thousand taels of silver in total.
Horses that can be used as warhorses are very precious!
A single horse is worth at least several hundred taels of silver, and if one can successfully acquire a hundred warhorses, they will be worth at least tens of thousands of taels!
Of course, warhorses are always in high demand but not readily available!
Therefore, in Su Luo's view, it was quite worthwhile to use less than 10,000 taels of silver to inspire everyone's fighting spirit and successfully obtain 100 warhorses!
"Rest assured, young master, we will absolutely not let you down!"
"Young master, this time we are sure to achieve a great victory!"
Su Luo smiled.
……
at the same time.
Hundreds of soldiers marched out of the mottled main gate of Feiyun City, escorting hundreds of warhorses.
The surrounding people, seeing this, all avoided it and scattered.
They were afraid of being caught in the crossfire and having their own lives affected.
Especially upon seeing the leader, they fled as if their lives depended on it.
The leader of these hundreds of people was a middle-aged man, exceptionally tall and strong, riding a tall horse with piercing eyes.
This man was none other than Xue Baichen, a very famous general in Feiyun City!
However, the reason Xue Baichen became famous was not because of his bravery, but because... he was a member of the Xue family!
She comes from the same clan as the First Lady of the Marquis of Sinan's mansion!
Therefore, even as a general in Feiyun City, his status was far higher than that of a patrol inspector in a small town...
However, Xue Baichen never participated in a single battle! Instead, he relied on his family background to rise through the ranks!
He eventually became a general in Feiyun City, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and committing all sorts of evil deeds!
Although he was physically imposing, he did not use his strength on the battlefield, but instead used it all to exploit the people!
However, Xue Baichen never felt ashamed but rather proud, because in his view... life has different levels of nobility and baseness!
As ordinary citizens, we are considered lowly, and we deserve to be bullied by him!
After all, he comes from the Xue family!
Even the Marquis of Sinan has to curry favor with the Xue family in the capital... As a member of the Xue family, what's wrong with him bullying the lowly people of Feiyun City?
This time, it wasn't originally his job to escort the warhorses; he had taken the task from another general.
It wasn't because Xue Baichen wanted to show off his prowess, but because...
"Su Luo? That illegitimate son of the Marquis of Sinan? Such a useless and despicable person, and they still can't deal with him?"
Xue Baichen snorted, "My cousin is going to write me a letter, giving me a chance to deal with this person?!"
"Heh, Marquis Sinan... truly useless! He can't even handle a bastard child!"
"Well, this is a good opportunity. Let me see what this guy named Su Luo is capable of... Heh, this guy even took those seven women!"
A lewd glint flashed in his eyes. He had known about the seven women in the Su family for a long time and wanted to sleep with them!
However, those seven women carried too much karma, and even he, as a member of the Xue family, dared not get involved with them...
But it’s different now!
Su Luo has already married all seven of those women!
Then I'll go find Su Luo now, teach him a lesson, and also indulge his seven wives...
So, who can blame him?!
Thinking of this, Xue Baichen couldn't help but reveal a smug smile. He turned his head and glanced at it, nodding in satisfaction.
Originally, Xie Mingkong only planned to send two hundred people to escort the warhorses, but since Xue Baichen took on the job, he naturally needed more people!
Otherwise, what if something unexpected happens?!
So his number surged to five hundred!
Five hundred men are more than enough to kill Su Luo. Besides, isn't there some kind of Wolf Fang Mountain in that wretched place called Yunhai Town?
When the time comes, we'll also wipe out the bandits of Langya Mountain. Then who will dare to say they're just drawing a salary without working?
Thinking that he could not only play with those seven beautiful women but also gain fame, Xue Baichen couldn't stop smiling.
……
Inside the city lord's palace.
A servant hurried up to Xie Mingkong and told him about Xue Baichen leading troops.
Xie Mingkong frowned immediately and said, "What's going on? That Xue Baichen guy, instead of enjoying himself in the city, why did he run off..."
He frowned, worried that something unexpected might happen.
Then, he relaxed his brow and a smile appeared on his lips: "This is actually a good thing!"
"Isn't Xie Changyun still trying to control me? If he offends Xue Baichen this time... then we'll see what's going to be like!"
Xie Changyun is the eldest son of the Xie family, and even Xie Mingkong dares not offend him!
However, if it were Xue Baichen... even if he trampled Xie Changyun's head under his feet, the Xie family head wouldn't dare to say a word!
"However, Xue Baichen is so arrogant in his daily life, but he's actually so cautious when it comes to actually doing things..."
"They brought a full five hundred men, just to escort warhorses?"
With so many people under our command, paying them is a problem...
Xie Mingkong rubbed his temples. Oh well, he could just sell a few more people to the mine later.
……
Han Yan has already set off with fifteen people.
Liu Daoyang and Hong Feng, along with the rest of their men, lay in ambush around the city according to the original plan, ready to attack the arriving elite troops of Feiyun City at any time.
Although Su Luo did not go there in person, he remained stationed at Langya Mountain, ready to respond to any unexpected situations.
"Young master, don't worry. There are over a hundred of us. We can definitely handle two or three hundred people..."
Old Man Shen was quite confident in the manpower of Langya Mountain, saying, "With this terrain, as long as there are no more than five hundred people, we won't have any problems!"
Su Luo shook his head. After all, this was the Yanhuang Army's first battle, and he still needed to keep a close eye on it.
To avoid any accidents!
Just then, a figure rushed up the mountain path, looking anxious.
"Young master! Young master! Something terrible has happened!"
“Flying Cloud City sent a full five hundred people over…”
Swish!
Shen Laosan immediately stood up, his eyes wide: "Holy crap, am I really that bad at jinxing things?"
