0274: The Secret Weapon Could Come In Handy.
Autumn is crisp, and the wind between the mountains and forests is always extraordinarily cool.
Qiao Ji and the others have been away from Hongshan Village for two days, and they are now heading towards Baihua Manor.
Inside the carriage.
Xue Nai leaned her head against the edge of the window, looked at the slowly receding scenery, and said expectantly, "We should be there soon, right?"
The white cat girl is the one most looking forward to going back.
"The front is the territory of the third Earl of Daigen. As long as we pass through there, we can return to Baihua Manor in two days." Lian Xin said leisurely.
When Fox Erniang was about to set off, she investigated the noble territories on the route.
Not all nobles will stay in the imperial capital, and a small number of them will choose to stay outside the imperial capital, seeking to be clean.
Lei Nai blinked her exquisite black eyes, said with cat ears shaking, "When I get back, I want to take a good bath, I don't feel comfortable at all after taking a bath these days.
Every time at night, when the team is resting by the small river, they let people boil water for a bath.
Autumn nights are always extraordinarily cool, even taking a bath in a tent will feel cool, Lei Nai always hastily washes and puts on clothes.
"Hahaha..……"
Qiao Ji smiled heartily and said, "I'll let you soak in the bath when you get back.
He thought it was time to get some soaps and sell them, and shampoo soap and things like that.
We must know that women's money is the best to earn, and they may not be able to refuse a piece of soap that can make their bodies fragrant.
"Master, I don't know what's going on at Baihua Manor." Lian Xin suddenly worried.
"Yes, there are Qianxiang Pavilion and Yellow Crane Tower. The eldest prince may already know about the Noble Phantasm Envoy. I don't know if it will make people embarrass our property." Lei Nai quickly echoed.
"Probably not. If they do, it's probably from the Yellow Crane Tower's food supply chain."
Qiao Ji waved his hand and continued, "The supply chain of ingredients has long been in our hands, especially the raw materials of perfume in Shengxiang Pavilion."
The young man didn't think that the eldest prince would be stupid enough to act on the bright side. After all, he had just been promoted to the rank of prince not long ago. If he wanted to be punished by the emperor, he could do so.
Now the two princes are competing for the position of the future emperor, and no one dares to make mistakes at this juncture.
"It's true." Lian Xin instantly felt relieved.
Everyone chatted in the carriage for a while, and the team unknowingly entered the territory of the third Earl of Daigan.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Five knights who explored the road came back from a distance on their horses, and stopped in front of the carriage of the sleepy season.
A Pathfinder knight got off his horse and reported short of breath, "My lord, there are people blocking the way ahead.
"How many people are there?" Qiao Ji frowned slightly and asked.
"About a thousand people." Pathfinder Knight replied immediately.
"understood."
Qiao Ji frowned slightly and waved his hands, then urged, "Shi Duo, let the knights put on their armor and get ready to fight."
"Yes." Shi Duo's deep voice sounded from outside the carriage, and then he ordered the knights to be alert.
"You asked for it."
Qiao Ji's face turned cold, knowing that the person blocking the way in front must be Earl Degan.
"My lord, Earl Degen was bought by the eldest prince, right?" Lian Xin guessed and knew who was blocking the way.
Many nobles in the Golden Eagle Empire know about Qiao Ji, let's not talk about him overthrowing Earl Haiba.
From the perspective of the boy's property and short-term promotion, it is definitely not a wise decision to be an enemy of him.
However, Daigen, who is also the third-class Earl with real power, sent knights to block Qiao Ji's way, obviously taking some people's instructions and benefits.
As for who gave the benefits, judging from the events of the past few days, it was only the eldest prince Tyon.
"It should be." Qiao Ji nodded.
He knew that it was nothing more than the eldest prince taking the perfume, or the Yellow Crane Tower to attract the third Earl of Daigen.
You know, since Qianxiang Pavilion opened for more than a month, the name of perfume can be said to have spread to the nobles and wealthy merchants of the empire.
As the third-class earl, it is impossible for Dagen not to know about perfumes. The eldest prince wants him to cooperate, and this is the only bargaining chip.
"What should the lord do? This is the territory of Degen, and he is the earl. There are 800 knights."
Renai said with a worried expression.
Now there are more than a thousand people, and the eldest prince must have sent someone here.
There were no more than fifty or sixty people on their trip this time. Even if they had bed crossbows, it would be very difficult for them to face the famous knight without preparation.
"Da da da.....…."
Qiao Ji tapped the table with his index finger, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "It's okay, we have a secret weapon."
"Did the lord mean the dynamite kit?" Lian Xin remembered the secret weapon that the boy explained a few days ago.
"It's another secret weapon." Qiao Ji raised her bushy eyebrows.
Lei Nai turned his black eyes to think for a while, and said pleasantly, "I see, the Lord is talking about the ghost-faced spider, right?"
...ask for flowers...
After being parasitized by the black bull beetle, the ghost-faced spider can now fully control its actions, and it follows at the end of the team.
Of course, the ghost-faced spider is sealed in the carriage, after all, things like monsters should not be known for the time being.
"With ghost-faced spiders and bed crossbows, if that's not the case, and dynamite packs, we won't lose this battle.
Qiao Ji rubbed the white cat girl who was showing a worried expression.
Xue Nai was nervous all the way to the corner of the boy's clothes, her delicate eyes were fixed on Qiao Ji, and she felt a little relieved when she heard this.
Her drooping cat tail also became active, she nodded and said, "I believe in the master."
"Lu Lu Lu
While Qiao Ji and the others were chatting calmly, Earl Degen slowly approached with the knights.
There are a total of more than a thousand people, the leader is the third-class Earl of Degen, followed by Lagon, another servant of Prince Tyon.
0...0
"Which nobles are you? Why did you invade the territory of our Earl Degen." A knight commander raised his voice and shouted.
Shi Duo frowned as he watched the other party act, then followed what Qiao Ji said, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Our lord is the third-class Earl of Qiao Ji, and we just want to use this road to pass."
"There are so many roads you don't take, but you insist on entering the territory of our lord earl...you are invading."
Ignoring Shi Duo's explanation, the knight commander turned around and shouted, "Knights, we cannot tolerate others invading the Earl's territory.
"It can't be tolerated, it can't be tolerated absolutely." The knights of Earl Degen shouted in unison.
Earl Degen was riding on the horse at the moment, looked at Qiao Ji's carriage with cold eyes, and said mockingly, "Qiao Ji, you can't be so arrogant just because of the Emperor's favor.
Seeing that there were not many knights in Qiao Ji, he became more confident, and began to look forward to the share of the perfume that the prince would give him.
Lagon is the Earl of Degen who went to look for it two days ago, and he brought the words of the eldest prince intact.
The eldest prince promised that if Earl Daigen helped intercept and capture Qiao Ji alive, he would give him 30% of the income from Qianxiang Pavilion.
Earl Degen naturally couldn't resist such a temptation, and after learning that there were not many knights brought by Qiao Ji, he resolutely complied.
Qiao Ji, I see what you will do this time, you are still too real to be an enemy of His Royal Highness, Lagon is secretly happy in his heart.
This time he didn't bring the Noble Phantasm Envoy, but brought more than two hundred masked people, thinking that he would definitely catch Qiao Ji this time.
(More, ask yourself. Door).
