Chapter 648 Heading to Longhu Mountain!
"Remember."
Ye Mu nodded heavily.
In the weapon refining room, Xiahou Xuan had told him.
Today is still two days away from the wedding of the emperor's son.
Apart from the day it would take to travel, he would use the remaining day to go to Longhu Mountain to test the power of several weapons he had just made.
"In that case, let's have breakfast, and then you two can go out together." Xiahou Xuan made the final decision and arranged the next plan for Ye Mu and Xiahou Tie.
After breakfast, Xiahou Xuan took out a flying cloud boat from his Xumi Ring. "My dear, this mid-grade divine artifact, the Absolute Cloud Boat, is a wedding gift from our Xiahou family to the emperor's son. Keep it."
"Grandpa, is it really necessary to take out such high quality?" Xiahou Tie was a little reluctant after hearing this.
"It's just a temporary measure, keep it." Xiahou Xuan repeated.
Although Xiahou Tie was reluctant, he naturally had to obey the task assigned by his grandfather.
"That's all. Take care on your journey, both of you."
Xiahou Xuan didn't want to waste time, so he looked at Ye Mu again and said, "We'll be going to Zhongshan City this time. There will be representatives from many prominent families in the Tianxuan Realm. Please keep an eye on Tiezi for me and don't let him get into trouble."
"I understand." Ye Mu already regarded Xiahou Xuan as a relative.
In fact, Xiahou Tie's personality is very stable, so he is not worried.
"Well, let's go."
Xiahou Xuan personally sent Ye Mu and Xiahou Tie to the carriage outside the door. He watched the carriage go away before he let out a long sigh.
"Father, this time the son of Emperor Zhou Jin is getting married. As a family of weapon refiners, our Xiahou family naturally has to prepare a magic weapon that can be shown off. But isn't that mid-grade artifact you took out too dazzling?" Xiahou Gang has always wanted to clarify this matter.
"In the past, it was indeed too conspicuous, and I couldn't bear to part with it." Xiahou Xuan didn't make excuses in front of his son. "But now it's different. After meeting Ye Mu, it's just a mid-grade artifact."
"Father, you said before that your talent for refining equipment is not as good as Ye Mu's. Is that true or false?" Xiahou Gang also thought of this question.
"That's exactly what I'm going to say next."
Xiahou Xuan gestured for Xiahou Gang to go home. The father and son chatted as they walked. "This time, Ye Mu and I refined weapons in the triple-speed refining room and created three magic weapons in total, including..."
Xiahou Xuan made a long story short and described the three magic weapons: the Yuchang Sword, the Sanchi Qingfeng Sword, and the Fire Thunder Shield.
Xiahou Gang was naturally shocked after hearing this.
A low-grade divine weapon, a high-grade immortal weapon, and a high-grade divine weapon!
"So, with Ye Mu's assistance, it won't be difficult for us to refine artifacts in the future." Xiahou Xuan said this, but he still felt sorry for the mid-grade artifact flying cloud boat he gave away.
However, as his son said, the Xiahou family is a weapon refining family!
If the Xiahou family fails to send a decent gift to the emperor's son at his wedding, the emperor Zhou Jin will surely envy them.
For now, the world still belongs to the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Xiahou family will inevitably be squeezed out by other families, which will be a loss.
At the same time.
Ye Mu and Xiahou Tie were riding in a carriage heading southwest.
On the way.
"Brother Mu, grandpa asked us to go to Longhu Mountain first. Does he want you to gain experience for a day, or does he have other intentions?" Xiahou Tie started chatting with Ye Mu.
"Actually, grandpa just wants me to verify the magic weapon we created to see if its effect is more powerful than we imagined." Ye Mu did not evade the question. After all, they were going to Longhu Mountain together.
"I really envy you."
Xiahou Tie looked at Ye Mu, and his face was full of disappointment when he thought about his own weapon refining level.
He grew up in a family of weapon refiners, but his current weapon refining level is only at the small success stage.
As for Ye Mu, taking into account the time at three times the speed, it only took him one month to reach the great success stage of weapon refining. This huge difference would make anyone feel ashamed.
"I just got lucky."
Ye Mu comforted him, "Your luck hasn't come yet. When your luck comes, it won't be stopped even if you want to."
"Hahaha..." Xiahou Tie couldn't help laughing after hearing what Ye Mu said.
He knew that Ye Mu was comforting him.
Luck is really important.
He is not like Ye Mu, who has imperial blood and the ability to use thunder and lightning.
Thinking of this, he felt a little more balanced.
"Master, there's a group of people following us. Should we stop the car and deal with them?"
At this moment, the eight guards outside the carriage, led by a man named Yan Jing, leaned over the curtain and asked.
"Where did they start following us? Are you sure they were following us?" Xiahou Tie's face was as calm as water when he heard this.
They were traveling on the official road, and there was a sign "Xiahou" hanging on the carriage, so there shouldn't be any blind people who would do anything to harm them.
"Since we left Jing'an City, that group of people have been riding on Ferghana horses, following our carriage slowly. At first I thought I was too sensitive, but when I noticed that we stopped to rest, that group also stopped to rest. When we continued on our way, that group also started on their way." Yan Jing reported truthfully.
"In that case, they are following us." Xiahou Tie pushed aside the curtain at the back of the carriage and looked at the five men riding on Ferghana horses a hundred meters away.
"I know them." When Ye Mu saw the five people following him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Those five people were none other than Qiu Jicheng and his five men who had once served under him.
"Brother Mu knows them?" Xiahou Tie asked in confusion.
Ye Mu briefly recounted the identities of Qiu Jicheng and others, as well as how he met him.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why they looked so familiar. Now that you mention it, I remember that I did see them at Qianshi Fortress." Xiahou Tie couldn't help but smile.
"Yan Jing, call them over."
Ye Mu walked out of the carriage and stood on the ground.
After Yan Jing received the order, his figure suddenly disappeared, and in a few breaths he brought Qiu Jicheng and others over.
"Young Master!"
When Qiu Jicheng and others saw Ye Mu, they all jumped off their horses and knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Everyone, get up."
Ye Mu raised his hand. "Didn't you help Ji Linglong send those laborers to Gengjin City? Why are you here?"
"Young Master, General Monta was captured alive by Zhou Jin." After Qiu Jicheng stood up, he told Ye Mu truthfully what had happened in the past few days.
"General Meng..."
Ye Mu took a deep breath, his voice filled with anger, "I was actually taken away by Zhou Jin's men on the day I entered the Xiahou family. Why didn't you send me a message with the jade talisman?"
"Don't blame me, young master."
Qiu Jicheng said frankly, "We know that you and Young Master Xiahou went to the Xiahou family to learn weapon refining, so Ji Linglong suggested that we should not easily send you a sound transmission through the jade talisman to avoid disturbing you."
"Since you knew I was in the carriage, why didn't you catch up with me quickly, but instead kept sneaking around behind me?" Ye Mu asked again.
"Because besides the five of us, there is another group of people secretly following you. From what I've observed, they are the Emperor's Royal Guards!"
Qiu Jicheng's eyes turned cold as he said this. "Unfortunately, I am only at the early stage of the Void Realm, far from being their opponent. That's why I didn't dare to recognize the young master, lest they notice."
"You mean, their target is me?" Ye Mu raised his eyebrows.
"It's very likely that the answer was pried out from General Monta's mouth." Qiu Jichengzhang sighed.
"No, I know General Meng very well. He won't tell the emperor about my rescue of the laborers. There must be something else." Ye Mu shook his head.
"Then we..." Qiu Jicheng and the other four were already on alert.
"Since we have alerted the enemy, let's fight them head-on!" Ye Mu also noticed that there were indeed many breathing sounds hidden around them.
