"I asked General Wang in the military camp. In the past, the barbarians used fast horses, strong bows, and sharp arrows to attack your Zhulong Village. The elite barbarian archers with more than 500 horses, and the violent storm of sharp arrows were enough to suppress them. Any one or more top-grade Jie Gang-stage experts in your village, so this time I believe it¡¯s not just the four high-grade Jie Gang-stage experts that our secret sentry has seen.¡±
Staring at Tang An, who was looking thoughtful, Wu Juntong paused and said: "When the barbarians come, if you don't attack, it will probably be the same as before. If the barbarians can't make a surprise attack, they will never besiege you for a long time and defend the pig cage." Stronghold, at a certain point when Tieluo City can no longer bear it and sends troops over, they will definitely withdraw their troops."
"That was just in the past, I'm afraid this time is different." Tang An said with a wry smile: "In any previous robbery, the most people who came were only middle and low-level barbarian tribe leaders in the Jie Gang stage, and more of them were elite soldiers of the barbarians. Their purpose is just to burn, kill and loot, but this time it is obviously different, they are seeking revenge."
"Not to mention that there are still more high-grade Jie Gang stage and even Void Realm barbarians who have not shown up. With the current lineup, they only have one more formation master. It is impossible for our Zhulong Village to be in the enemy's position like before. If you really want to do that, you will defend the stronghold and not attack when it is strong, but it will be equivalent to giving the formation master a chance to set up the magic formation"
As he said that, Tang An looked up at Wu Juntong and asked with confusion on his face: "How long does it take for a high-grade formation master in the formation stage to set up the most lethal formation? Can one person complete it?" If it can be completed, can his most powerful magic circle destroy the entire Zhulong Village?"
"It's possible." Wu Juntong looked at him seriously and said: "This is the scary thing about formation masters. Their attacks are not as lethal as those of warriors, spell masters and mages. They can produce lethality in the shortest time, even with the most ordinary formations." The time it takes to deploy the spell is enough for ordinary warriors to launch several attacks, but once the array master completes the offensive array, the lethality is absolutely unmatched by other professions at the same level or even one or two levels higher."
"Agree." Wen Zhongmo nodded and said seriously: "I once went to the Daze Forest with some playmates from the Imperial City. Even though we brought many elite guards with us, we didn't dare to go deep. We were targeted by a group of second-level demonic beasts, the Red Flame Silver-faced Falcon, in the sky. Nearly a hundred Red-Flame Silver-faced Falcons followed us for three days. During this period, we killed nearly twenty of them, but at the cost of dozens of deaths and injuries. The price of an elite guard. Later, one of our formation masters took action and spent most of the day setting up the formation. It only took an instant to send the hundreds of red-flamed silver-faced falcons gathered above our heads into the abyss of death. .¡±
"Are you talking about Hua Ye?" It was obviously the first time Wu Juntong heard Wen Zhongmo mention this matter, and he couldn't help but curiously asked: "What magic circle did he use?"
"That's him. Among the dandy boys I know, he is the only one who can be considered a real formation master. At that time, he used the 'Falling Formation' to kill those red-flame silver-faced falcons, which can make flying monsters lose their flight within the range. The 'missing array' of ability." Wen Zhongmo nodded in response.
"No wonder"
After sighing for a while, Wu Juntong looked at Tang An solemnly and said, "There are still five days. In five days, we will go back to the Daxia Empire. As soon as we leave, I estimate that Qi Humang will leave the border. Return to Tieluo City, and by then, the barbarians will definitely attack your Zhulong Village, and judging from the current situation, the few high-grade Jie Gang-stage experts you have here are at odds"
"It's more than just disagreement." Wen Zhongmo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I'm wondering if you people from Zhulong Village will hand you over if more barbarians come."
"That shouldn't be the case, at least the leader of Duanmu Village will definitely not be able to do such a thing." Tang An frowned and responded, but then fell into deep thought.
"Why don't you come with me?" Wen Zhongmo thought for a moment and looked at Tang An seriously and said, "Although dealing with the family is more troublesome than dealing with the court, you have already demonstrated your unique abilities and potential. Even if I will take you back, after all, you are still a member of the Tang family, and the heads and elders of the Tang family would like to see you become stronger, so I don¡¯t think it will embarrass you and me."
"Of course, if they insist on doing that, the next step will be." Wen Zhongmo said, raising his sword-like eyebrows, and said lightly: "Unless your Tang family doesn't want the business in our Daxia Empire, little one I don¡¯t have much influence, but it¡¯s not a big problem to let the old guy come out and mess around behind the scenes!¡±
"I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept it." Tang An thought for a moment, looked up at him with a smile, and said sincerely: "If I leave, the barbarians will most likely take their anger out on Zhulong Village. And the border of Tieluo City is very unreliable. I can¡¯t cause trouble on my own, so I can just pat my butt and leave. If I want to leave, I have to leave openly."
After a pauseIn Wen Zhongmo's strange eyes, Tang An explained again: "Follow you, the barbarians are afraid of you and the Great Xia Empire will definitely not pursue you; but if I leave with someone from the family in about three months, the barbarians will pay the same attention." They will also be transferred, and whether they continue to send people to hunt them down or something else, I don¡¯t think they will be in trouble with Zhulong Village anymore.¡±
"Ha, let me tell you, he will definitely not agree." Wen Zhongmo looked at Wu Juntong and smiled: "How about it? Since that day, he has not taken a sip of water and has been injured all over his body without treatment. I have to rush back to Zhulong Village. It can be seen that Tang An is still very affectionate and loyal at a young age. If I asked him to abandon the people in Zhulong Village and run away at a dangerous moment, I told him that he would definitely not be able to do it."
"You make up your own mind." Wu Juntong smiled faintly, and said gently in a magnetic and slightly hoarse voice: "I just saw in your village that there is a top-level archer in the Jie Gang stage, and a barbarian girl in the mid-level Jie Gang stage. Tantai Crescent, if the two archers can kill the formation master after the barbarians approach or keep interfering with him, as long as they are not given time and opportunity to set up the formation, the possibility of the barbarians attacking is unlikely, but you have to be careful not to They sneaked into the village and were caught off guard."
"I will be careful." Tang An smiled slightly, but bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Whether you two are helping me because of my cousin or for other reasons, Tang An is deeply grateful."
"Don't be sour." Wen Zhongmo waved his hand lazily, thought for a while and asked: "We only have two days to leave. If you think there is anything else that can help you, feel free to mention it now. As for letting us kill Pan Pan It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t say anything like this on the north bank of the Jinjiang River, I don¡¯t have the guts to start a war yet.¡±
"I really need to trouble you two more." Tang An said with a face: "The only thing you can't buy in Zhulong Village even if you have money is the horses. The limited number of horses in the village are smuggled from the border troops. You are the best cavalry." What is not lacking is foot power, not to mention giving away. I have made some money from this big gamble, but I want to find you two to buy a few horses. It doesn't matter whether it is a divine horse or not. The most important thing is that the explosive power of short-distance sprinting is stronger. .¡±
"What do you want the horse to do? Want to run?" Wen Zhongmo looked surprised, and as soon as he said the words, he looked as if he had realized something.
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡
"The iron-maned horse is the best horse in the Northern Desert of the Great Xia Empire. It is extremely powerful in short-distance sprints and has stronger long-distance endurance."
Stroking the horse with shiny black fur tied in the corner of the yard, Lei Dong almost drooled. With a mean smile on his face, he yelled at Tang An who was washing the black horse: "There are three of them, they have to be given to me no matter what." Just one."
All the animal meat and skins in the yard have been moved away, otherwise there would be no place to tie the three iron-maned horses.
"It's not a big problem." Tang An said casually, but he scrubbed the horses lightly. It's not that the three iron-maned horses were too dirty, but Wen Zhongmo specifically told him to do this before leaving. The violent-tempered iron-maned horses recognized themselves more quickly, and it took them a long time to find the strength. At least the three iron-maned horses no longer roared and kicked.
"Master, where should I put it? With so much money, where can I put it safely?"
Tang Tang rushed out of the room again. With stars in her eyes, she couldn't hide her joy, but she asked with a distressed look on her face: "In addition to paying back the money to Master Wen, plus inviting the village master yesterday They had a feast and spent thirteen taels of silver. I just counted it three times and I am sure it is six thousand seven hundred and ninety-four taels of silver and one thousand three hundred and forty-five taels of gold. Let¡¯s put them together. It¡¯s a big pile, isn¡¯t it safe wherever we put it at home?¡±
"Buy another big house."
Tang An smiled and said without raising his head: "Wait a minute, go to East Street and see if there are any houses for sale near the village owner, Aunt Huo, Uncle Lin, and Uncle Ling. If so, buy it. If not, just buy it." Use your money to buy it."
"People say that the poor suddenly become rich, and the nouveau riche have a good reputation. We are a family of five now, but we can't squeeze in this small yard any longer. We won't have to guard a lot of gold and silver and have to sleep at night looking up at the moon. Let's go to Jianxing's shed." Tang An straightened up and handed the brush in his hand to Lei Dong, who had been waiting for a long time with a calm face.
"It's ready-made, but there's no need to throw money at it." Tang Tangxi was so happy that a small freckle on his nose twitched, and he said happily: "Aunt Huo and Uncle Ling Tianling's house are also just across the street. There are three houses, and the one in the middle is Li Siwu from Luo City. He owes a lot of debt to Xiong Xiugu's gambling house. He has been chased for the past two days and is about to sell it. I guess he can just give him a suitable price. ¡±
"I'll leave this matter to you." Tang An looked a little amused at her excited expression. He walked over and couldn't help but ruffled her hair and said with a smile: "By the way, go to Dongjie Market to see if there are any servants. , buy two and you won¡¯t have to be so tired.¡±
?"You really have the face of a nouveau riche." Before Tang Tang could speak, he sat on a wicker chair at the door of the room and squinted leisurely in the sun. Tantai Xinyue laughed without opening his eyes.
