The arrow shot out of his bow and went straight towards the rebel soldier leader.
After the leader heard the sound of an arrow firing behind him, he immediately reacted.
He leaned back on his horse and dodged the arrow.
‘He really is an inner enrichment realm warrior, look at his reaction speed!’
This was the first time Xu Ning’s arrows had missed.
Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!
This time, Xu Ning shot three arrows in a row.
Three arrows were fired, and the soldier leader could not dodge them this time.
Three arrows pierced through his chest.. He then vomited blood and fell off his horse.
Although Xu Ning could still not attach his force strength to his arrows, his strength was enough to eliminate a warrior of the inner enrichment realm.
Of course, Xu Ning’s lethality with his arrows was partly due to his bow.
Xu Ning’s bow and arrow was an advanced weapon given to him by Qu Dayou. A normal person would not have the strength to pull the bowstring at all.
After shooting down the rebel soldier leader, Xu Ning shot a few more arrows, once again shooting several people off their horses.
Xu Ning’s quiver was now empty, and the soldiers who fled in all directions had already escaped far.
‘Killing enemies with arrows is quite satisfying!’
This was the first time Xu Ning had experienced this feeling.
Xu Ning pulled the reins and got off the horse.
Xu Ning looked at the enemy corpses everywhere. This sight did not affect his mental state.
When the rebellion happened in Dingyun County, these rebels had reaped the lives of innocent people.
Xu Ning walked over to the leader and fumbled his pockets.
“Identity plate?”
Xu Ning took out the paiza plate of the leader.
The paiza was in the style of the Black Armored Guards, but there were three bloody scratches on the paiza plate.
This represented their alignment to the Shadowblood Sect.
Xu Ning fumbled around again.
This time, he found a wad of silver notes on the leader.
Xu Ning roughly counted; it summed up to be more than 2000 taels.
‘I wonder where these silver notes come from.’
Xu Ning suspected that this might have been stolen from the carriages left by the wealthy businessman who were being escorted.
They must have searched the carriage for something light and small to steal.
But now, these silver notes belonged to Xu Ning.
There was a rule within the Black Armored Guards that stated that anyone who found valuable items during a mission, could possess them.
Since Xu Ning had defeated all the enemies alone, he could keep all the silver taels.
After searching the body of the leader, Xu Ning searched the other bodies as well.
Xu Ning found more than a dozen paiza plates and found another 2000 taels of silver.
‘This leader is quite selfish.’
The soldier leader alone had as much silver taels as the other 10 soldiers combined.
Xu Ning now had an extra 4000 taels of silver out of thin air, which would allow him to obtain a bunch of energy points.
Even after finding more than 4000 taels, Xu Ning felt that most of the valuable goods were not on the rebels’ bodies.
For example, the jewelry and spirit medicine on the carriages might have been brought back to their camp already.
Xu Ning took off a coat from one of the corpses and wrapped the dozen paiza plates together.
These paiza plates could be used as proof of his victory.
Once the battle was over, these were the vouchers for his meritorious deeds.
‘It’s a shame for these war horses…’
The enemy were shot down, and the horses fled in all directions.
If it weren’t for the distance between Kangyun County and here, Xu Ning would chase the horses back one by one and send them back to the county.
“I didn’t expect that there would be unexpected gains in an escort mission…”
Xu Ning’s trip was quite fruitful.
“Go!”
Xu Ning rode his horse back to the city.
…
When Xu Ning returned to the county city, it was almost evening.
At the Maple Lane Guard Station, Tao Qingping and Song Weiyi were all waiting for his return.
After meeting with Tao Qingping, Song Weiyi and the others, Xu Ning immediately went to the commander’s residence to report his mission.
The next day, Xu Ning used the silver taels he obtained yesterday to buy spirit medicine.
Because a war was imminent, all resources in the city had risen in price.
Among them, the price of food had risen the most, but the price of elixirs had also risen by 50%.
Danger was coming, and almost all warriors were stepping up their practice in their spare time, in order to improve their chances of survival.
However, although the price of the spirit medicine had increased, Xu Ning’s status as a Black Armored Guards Lieutenant provided him with a lot of benefits.
The medicinal material shopkeeper sold 4000 taels worth of spirit medicine to Xu Ning at the non-inflated price.
There were many varieties in this batch of spirit medicine. The ones selected by Xu Ning were all cost-effective. These provided Xu Ning with 49 units of energy. Together with his previous savings, Xu Ning now had 52 units of energy.
However, these 52 units of energy was far from allowing Xu Ning to reach the internal qi realm.
It would take 80 units of energy to advance from the pneumatic realm to the internal qi realm, so he still needed to obtain 28 units of energy.
If this were in the past, 28 units of energy was a considerable amount, but now with the Qi Dan subsidy and the Thousand Source Bug expelling Aura Crystals, it was not difficult to obtain 28 units of energy.
After finishing all of this, Xu Ning focused his energy into the management of the Maple Lane Guard Station.
…
Commander Mansion.
Wei Changqing was talking with Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng.
“Uncle, is there news from Yunying City?”
Wei Binglin asked.
After learning about the rebellion in Dingyun County, the Black Armored Guards of Yunying City did not send troops for reinforcement. This was completely unreasonable.
Therefore, Wei Changqing sent a letter back home to ask about the situation.
“Not yet.”
Wei Changqing shook his head.
A few days have passed since the letter was sent, yet their family clan had yet to reply.
Wei Changqing wanted to persuade Wei Zicheng and Wei Binglin to leave early, but both of them refused.
The two wanted to persuade Wei Changqing to come back to the family clan and leave the mess that was Kangyun County.
After all, Wei Changqing left his family clan to escape his troubles.
But right now, he was facing even greater troubles.
Wei Changqing refused their proposal after thinking about it.
He wanted to wait for Kangyun County to stabilize before returning to his family clan.
Additionally, Wei Changqing was not particularly worried about his own safety.
He was a warrior of the mortal realm ninth stage spirit realm. Although in Yunying City, this was nothing impressive, but here, he was the top of the top.
After all, not all stationed commanders were in the spirit realm.
With his strength as a guarantee, Wei Changqing felt that his own safety was not a big concern.
It was unlikely for a rebel to be above the mortal realm.
“Uncle, if the situation gets complicated, let’s go directly to Senior Liu. With his strength, he can definitely stabilize the situation here easily.”
Wei Binglin suggested.
Wei Changqing heard this and waved his hand. “We can’t do that.”
“Although he exists above the mortal realm, he does not belong to the Source Faction.” Wei Changqing said, “His status is more like a lone warrior, and he answers to no one. It’s inappropriate for him to participate in a battle between different factions.”
Wei Changqing was speaking objectively..
Although the Source Faction was the supreme controller of State Feiyun, there were also many independent sects and families under it. They had their own scope of control and rules of survival.
These sects and families never violated the Source Faction’s instructions, but the Source Faction could not control them.
A lone traveler like Liu Yijian could also be regarded as a small family of one. Although he was connected with many parties, he rarely took the initiative to be involved in trouble.
“But how are you going to deal with the situation, Uncle?”
Wei Binglin asked.
Wei Binglin was not too concerned about the crisis in Kangyun County, but he and Wei Zicheng were still a little worried about their uncle.
“We’ll take it one step at a time…”
Wei Changqing was still quite worried about the Shadowblood faction behind this rebellion.
“It won’t be too late to make plans after finding out the other party’s intentions…”
The arrow shot out of his bow and went straight towards the rebel soldier leader.
After the leader heard the sound of an arrow firing behind him, he immediately reacted.
He leaned back on his horse and dodged the arrow.
‘He really is an inner enrichment realm warrior, look at his reaction speed!’
