358: Chapter 156: No Logic, No Science 358: Chapter 156: No Logic, No Science Wang Yunxiao peered curiously and saw at the door an old eunuch dressed in a dark red long robe, holding a horsetail whisk, gently stopping Mu Yuming who was about to kneel and pay his respects, “Lord, there’s no need for formalities, it isn’t the emperor’s decree.
I have been entrusted by Princess Zhaoning to inform Fuyuan Marquis that there has finally been a lead on Princess Ping’an’s whereabouts.”
Mu Yuming frowned, “How did Princess Zhaoning co by this information?”
The old eunuch smiled and shook his head, “That I do not know.
Her Highness only ntioned that Princess Ping’an was abducted by bandits to Sun Family Town at West Spring Mountain, and she hopes Lord will dispatch troops swiftly to rescue her from her plight.”
Mu Yuming nodded, “Good, I’ll start preparing at once!”
After seeing off the old eunuch, Mu Yuming walked in and upon noticing Veronica hiding and eavesdropping, he said, “Twelfth Sister, the palace has commanded to leave the city and rescue Princess Ping’an.
Could you lend a hand?”
Veronica declined with a smile, “You may go by yourself, Brother.
I am but a re woman and can’t be of much help.”
Mu Yuming said, “It is precisely because you are a woman that you can be of help.
Princess Ping’an has been fallen in the countryside for many days; while it’s a relief to have so news now, we must also prepare for the worst.
There are so matters that I, as a man, ultimately cannot handle properly.”
Wang Yunxiao thought to himself that Boss Mu was rather ticulous.
Although what he said was a bit of a mouthful, the main idea was actually very clear—the beautiful princess had been captured and spent many days in a goblin’s lair, and as a man, if he saw sothing he shouldn’t have, he wouldn’t be able to explain upon his return.
Veronica still did not agree because this matter had nothing to do with her, and the Prince Mansion was a fake anyway; she didn’t need to establish any connections here.
So Mu Yuming turned to Wang Yunxiao, “Is this your newly recruited soldier?
If you could accompany on this trip, I can share so rits with them.
The spoils of war outside the city can be selected by you and your n first, how about that?”
Veronica gave Wang Yunxiao a aningful glance.
Go?
Sure, why not!
What was there for Wang Yunxiao to be afraid of?
Wherever he honed his skill was still training.
Going out to see the outside world would certainly be more interesting than staying inside the city playing tower defense gas with a lantern.
First off, they didn’t have to be the main force.
Secondly, there were extra benefits!
Let’s go!
“Alright then, I’ll accompany you on this trip,” he said.
Seeing Wang Yunxiao nod, Veronica relented, “But we must agree first, we need to return before daybreak!”
“Of course,” he replied.
Mu Yuming nodded, “West Spring Mountain is not too far from the Imperial City.
If nothing unexpected happens, we can return within two Chinese Hours.”
Can we not make such a flag, please?
If you say that, isn’t it certain that sothing unexpected will happen!
But could they really return within two Chinese Hours?
If this were in our capital back in the day, the ti spent commuting to and from work for an office drone wouldn’t even fit into two Chinese Hours.
Not to ntion you still need to assemble the troops…
And then Wang Yunxiao watched, wide-eyed, as a fully armored cavalry “grew” from within King Mu’s Mansion.
Pushing the door open, one man ca out, leading a horse.
Push open the door again, and out ca another man, leading a horse…
Within less than ten minutes, three hundred cavalry had assembled in front of King Mu’s Mansion.
“Is it that exaggerated?”
Wang Yunxiao felt his jaw was about to drop to the ground.
“Old Master Wang has fought wars all his life, isn’t it quite normal to have a hundred thousand soldiers under his command?”
“What’s normal about that?
Are you telling the hundred thousand soldiers all sleep with Old Master Wang?”
Wang Yunxiao thought to himself that this was so Red Alert style maneuver.
Should we build another factory next door, so we can just produce rhino tanks directly?
But he was helpless; now wasn’t the ti to complain, as he still had to go out and call people.
Unexpectedly, the one causing the delay turned out to be his own side.
“There’s no need to rush.
Princess Ping’an has been kidnapped for so long, a delay of ten or twenty minutes won’t make a difference,”
Sister Veronica comforted him kindly.
“Do you know Princess Ping’an?”
“I don’t, but princesses aren’t as noble as you think—worthless here,”
Sister Veronica shrugged and said, “Like I told you, don’t treat this as the real world; think of it as a storybook.
Whatever characters or settings are in the book have all been arranged by the author.”
“The author’s intellectual limit determines the intelligence ceiling of the characters in the book.”
“And the collective authors of the Thousand-Year Dynasty World, you can basically say, have no creativity to speak of.”
So Echo Erosion is like a dumbing-down aura, right?
Wang Yunxiao had no more complaints.
Back at the residence in the outer city, upon hearing about the rescue mission, Youtiao imdiately beca anxious: “What about Chen Yuguang?
Are we taking him with us?”
The team was already down in numbers, and it was expected that this would continue for the foreseeable future.
“I’m fine now!
I’ve recovered!”
Chen Yuguang, bound tightly like a rice dumpling, shouted desperately, “I’ve got it all figured out!
I’m completely clear-headed now!
Unbind quickly!”
“You understand nothing.
Gag him!”
After thinking it over, Wang Yunxiao decided to let it be.
Although it’s said fortune favors the bold, this ti his main purpose was to train the second squad, and it wasn’t necessary to risk everything for fortune.
“Sister Veronica and I will make the trip; everyone else stays behind and follows Youtiao’s orders.”
“Big Brother!”
Guozi raised his hand: “I want to go too!”
Wang Yunxiao thought for a mont and nodded: “Alright, you can co.”
Practicing the Martial Arts Skill of a hundred thousand mountains and rivers tends to make one restless, which Wang Yunxiao was aware of.
Among his brothers, aside from himself, Guozi, who had a foundation, was the fastest learner.
If he didn’t take them out for a bit of fresh air, they’d just stay ho and might end up biting the sofa.
However, Wang Yunxiao soon realized a problem that he had overlooked.
They had no horses!
And even if they did, they wouldn’t know how to ride them.
King Mu’s Mansion wasn’t short of horses, and Veronica casually pulled out a few.
Wang Yunxiao sat atop one, his body rigid, feeling his calves cramping up.
If you asked to fly a helicopter, I wouldn’t be this nervous, but horses…
I just can’t.
Following the cavalry troop slowly towards the city gate, Wang Yunxiao, holding the reins in his hand and pale-faced, thought: With my driving skills, won’t I fall behind as soon as we set out?
However, it turned out he was overthinking it.
The outer city gate wouldn’t even open.
In a world where people inside wouldn’t casually go out, and people outside were desperate to get in, building city gates was essentially superfluous.
At the city gate, Mu Yuming pulled out a Command Flag, and a swirling black wind arose from the ground, enveloping the entire troop.
In the blink of an eye, they were transported outside the city.
Walk a few steps further, and even the towering city wall behind them turned into a re line.
