Chapter 528: 143. (For the Silver League Master wise sea morning, additional 1/2) _3 Chapter 528: 143. (For the Silver League Master wise sea morning, additional 1/2) _3 This ti, after the operation of inspecting the Sky Horizon, Prince Xiang Liang was so tired he was nearly fainting.
Having worked continuously for so long, truly for the first ti in his life, even though he didn’t catch the Gentleman and gain his massive resources, the wandering figures in the martial world he had gathered were more than five thousand strong. Just the power wielded by these people was enough to sustain the Overlord Hall for a while.
“I suggest maintaining strictness on the outside while remaining relaxed inside, observing for a few more days could be best.”
A scholar proposed his suggestion: “Although the word outside is that the Gentleman has already left, we have not sensed it at all, to achieve this outco, he might’ve left the companion beasts and a lot of personal belongings in the mountains and forests while disguising himself alone to take on the journey, after many hardships he managed to do so!”
“If this speculation is true, then the Gentleman will undoubtedly return.”
The scholar continued: “Or perhaps, we in Great Chu still have the opportunity to make a fortune in silence, if we truly catch the Gentleman, the countless benefits related to him, will all belong to our Chu Country!”
“I think there is no need for this anymore.”
Shi Jiutu replied lightly: “Now, it is known to everyone that the Gentleman has left the territory of Sky Horizon, even if he left alone, he will return soday, but have you ever considered how much manpower, physical resources and budget will be spent if we keep laying ambush? If the Gentleman does not co for a day, shall we stay alert for a day!? What if he doesn’t co for half a year? For a practitioner, half a year is just a fleeting mont.”
“The manpower and physical resources we would need to utilize would definitely be a long-term expenditure. This also doesn’t take into account us constantly offending the practicing martial artists throughout our ti of ambush.”
“Just this point alone is enough to make it a losing proposition.”
There was a silence among the crowd.
The old man indeed made sense, how long should they keep on guarding like this?
What if he really doesn’t show up for half a year?
If they were to lay low for a long ti, what kind of manpower, physical resources and financial resources could they afford to consu?!
“The already assembled manpower shouldn’t be wasted, continue to strengthen the defenses of Broken Jade City. As for the Sky Horizon, you might as well set up a small fortress there to serve as a buffer against enemies.”
“Other people, if it’s ti to report back to your duties, then return directly, this operation has co to an end.”
Shi Jiutu looked over at his little disciple who had started to snore from exhaustion, this prince really couldn’t take so hardship.
However, he’s already done quite well.
He just didn’t know, after this event, would he start second-guessing…
“Master, what about you?” one disciple asked.
Shi Jiutu raised his white eyebrows, speaking solemnly: “I’ll stay here temporarily, there are still so things I need to take care of.”
“Master, take care of yourself.”
“You may leave.”
…
Another day later.
Hu Dayang, carrying his luggage, a broken sword hung obliquely, and a small bundle held seriously in his hand, entered Broken Jade City, crossed through the city, and went straight to Sky Horizon.
Upon arriving at Sky Horizon, so people still rembered him.
“Oh, isn’t this Hu Dayang? How co you’re back so soon? Have you found the dicine?”
“I found it, I found it.” Feng Yin’s face was full of joy: “I was very lucky this ti. I only dug for a short while on a small hill and found several needed herbs.”
“Have you found them all? So quickly?”
“How could I possibly find them all?”
Feng Yin lied blatantly, saying: “The dicinal herbs needed by the Marquis Mansion are not only rare, but also required in large quantities. The few that I found this ti, though they look similar from initial view, I was unsure, so I ca back to let the doctor confirm it. But I’m sure that I have found at least three, which is satisfactory enough.”
“Three herbs is indeed a lot, hurry back and report to get your reward, finish this job quickly and report to the Overlord Hall, we’ll be brethren from then on. We’ll have to rely on you kid to treat us.”
“Of course, of course, we’ll invite the big brothers for a great drink by that ti.”
Feng Yin smiled humbly, hurrying along on his journey.
From a high place.
Shi Jiutu and Prince Xiang Liang were looking in his direction. Prince Xiang Liang seed surprisingly delighted: “This guy ca back so quickly, I’ll go down and say hello.”
He now regarded Hu Dayang, who was willing to serve him, as his own ‘reliable secret agent’.
Of course, the most appreciable thing was this chap was genuinely honest and naive, which made him easy to control.
With one person inside, it would undoubtedly be much easier if they wanted to secretly install others in the future.
Shi Jiutu said casually: “I’ll go down with you.”
Xiang Liang was delighted: “Yes, yes, Master.”
The two descended gracefully.
Just as Feng Yin arrived at Sky Horizon, the two n appeared in front of him.
“Your Highness?”
Feng Yin cried out in astonishnt and delight: “Hu Dayang pays respects to Your Highness.”
“No need for formalities, no need for formalities.”
Prince Xiang Liang slightly raised his hand in a warm but dignified way: “How was it? How did you co back so quickly?”
Looking at the mud all over him, he couldn’t help but laugh: “Did you dig a hole?”
“No, I didn’t dig a hole, I mostly relied on Your Highness’s good fortune this ti, I only dug a few hills, and after just over a day’s work, I found several needed herbs… in a mont of insufficient greed without knowing, I dug out so water… I’m covered in mud.”
Feng Yin patted himself, spoke humbly and embarrassingly: “Compared to the harvest this ti, this little bit of dirt is nothing, it’s not a problem.”
In the casual conversation with Prince Xiang Liang, filled with curiosity and condescension, Feng Yin repeated the ghost story he told several tis to them once again.
