"What an arrogant boy! When I, Huang Yan, was out there, you didn't even know where you were."

Su Rui was thinking silently. Huang Yan, who was standing by, was like an angry old lion after hearing Zhang Mu's unfriendly tone. He said disdainfully, "What are you capable of? Are you so confident that you can keep the two of us?"

"Yes, I wasn't born when you, Mr. Huang, were out there, but now, it's not your era anymore. Old grandfathers like you, Mr. Huang, should be at home tending to the flowers and plants, playing with dogs and birds, and taking care of your grandchildren. Why bother coming out to show your face and compare yourself to us youngsters, right? What do you think, Mr. Huang?"

Although Zhang Mu's words and tone were extremely respectful, he was mocking Huang Yan's taking advantage of his age.

Huang Yan was very angry at Zhang Mu. After he took the position of the lord of the branch city, he probably hadn't dared to speak like this for a long time. But he thought that they were in the wrong in this matter. Regardless of whether Zhang Mu and others could keep them, they were determined not to keep all four of them. When the news got out, the other four riders from the other capital would probably make trouble.

Therefore, Huang Yan could only snort coldly and turned his head to look elsewhere, no longer paying attention to Zhang Mu.

"Brother Zhang Mu is really humorous. Our lives cannot be bought back with money. We have been delayed for a long time. My brothers are still waiting for me in the tavern to have another drink with them. Then we have to rush back to the branch city. However, Brother Zhang Mu is a guest. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality. Please accept this small gift."

The silent Su Rui finally spoke, and threw out an Epoch Card, which was caught steadily by Zhang Mu.

He was reminding Zhang Mu that he had nearly a thousand Canglang riders, all in the capital of Ordos, and asked him not to go too far.

Zhang Mu didn't care about the hidden threat in the words, pretending not to hear it. He played with the two cards for a while, glanced at the deficit of 10,000 crystals on them, and finally put the two Epoch Cards into the Epoch Merchant Ring on his right hand. After getting the money, Zhang Mu put on his slapping smile and said in a comfortable tone, "Zhang Mu was just joking. Su Rui, the sub-city lord, don't take it seriously. It's really too polite to spend money."

Su Rui's expression was a little unnatural when he just took out 10,000 yuan of crystals, but he immediately returned to normal. Even Zhang Mu was surprised by his cunningness.

I am filled with emotion.

"Since City Lord Su Rui has something else to go back for, Zhang Mu won't keep him here. I won't see you off. Bye."

Su Rui really didn't want to see Zhang Mu's face like this anymore, so he turned around and walked out of the horse training field with Huang Yan, who was holding back his anger.

Ha Chimu watched Su Rui and the other two leave the horse training field, and then asked Zhang Mu with some doubt, "Brother Zhang Mu, Su Rui clearly wants to use the War Horse King to get rid of us. Just now was the best opportunity. With the combined efforts of the four of us, plus your second-level mutant pet, we can definitely keep the two of them.

Although Su Rui is a spiritual power evolver, his spiritual power is not on the same level as the War Horse King. If we really start fighting, I, Akagi, will not be manipulated like I did just now."

Zhang Mu shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Brother Hachimu, you also said that Su Rui is the most popular among ordinary people. If he and another branch city lord died in the capital, and you and brother Qiqidaer survived, what would others think? Even if one of you two eventually sits on the seat of the capital city lord, won't people always gossip about you behind your back?"

Ha Chimu retorted, "He, Su Rui, sent all the guards away. Isn't he trying to kill us? Can Su Rui sit in this position safely?"

Zhang Mu smiled, patted Ha Chimu's broad shoulders and said, "Brother, Su Rui may really be able to sit still. Let me tell you slowly.

One reason is that we are the ones who are going to tame the King of War Horses, and the guards all know that. Moreover, there is no need to say how dangerous the King of War Horses is. There have been cases of people dying there before. It is also convincing that Su Rui said that the King of War Horses suddenly went crazy.

The other problem is your own, Brother Hachimu. Even someone like Su Rui can be the most popular. It must be that you, Brother Hachimu, did not do some surface work well. "

Ha Chimu said awkwardly, "I usually eat and drink with my brothers, but I also guarantee their basic living. It's really annoying to have so many twists and turns."

Zhang Mu smiled but said nothing. Although he failed to tame the king of war horses this time, he earned 5,000 Yuan crystals in one morning, which was quite a good deal.

"By the way, brother Zhang Mu, you are going to Hohhot next.

City."

Ha Chimu suddenly asked, catching Zhang Mu off guard. He nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes."

"In Hohhot, the capital city, it should be the time for the monthly auction. Brother Zhang Mu, you should also go there by then. It's a good opportunity for us to go together."

"Auction?"

Seeing Zhang Mu's confused look, Ha Chimu remembered that he didn't seem to mention it to Zhang Mu. He looked at Zhang Mu and said, "It's an auction held by those Epochal agents like you. The leaders of the Eight Cavalry will participate. The two bottles of second-level healing potions from Su Rui and Huang Lao last time were the finale of that auction."

When talking about this, Hachimu's expression was full of regret. The old saying that you only regret not having enough money when you need it is really heartbreaking. At that time, he and Qiqidar could not even buy a bottle of second-level healing potion with their financial resources.

Is this an auction held by Jiyuan’s agent?

That’s quite interesting. Should it be an auction centered around items from the Epoch Store?

This means that the lords of these branch cities are going to be squeezed dry. Once a month, the Yuan Crystals or mutant beast cores that have just been collected should be exchanged for supplies in the Epoch Store. The entire initiative is in the hands of this alliance.

I just happened to have to go to the capital, so I might as well take a look at the crazy price-raising.

While Zhang Mu was still thinking about the auction, Su Rui, who had just left the horse training farm, looked at Huang Yan with a gloomy face and said, "Mr. Huang, give me that thing. I'll contact them."

"They're not saying don't use it unless it's important, it's limited in number of times."

Huang Yan seemed a little surprised, but still took out a cicada wing from his sleeve and handed it to Su Rui.

Su Rui's expression was very serious. He said slowly, "The appearance of this new Jiyuan agent is probably the most important thing we have encountered recently."

He slowly projected the information stream condensed with mental power onto the cicada wing, instilled all the information about Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui into it, and waited quietly for a reply.

After a few seconds, three small golden words appeared on the cicada's wings, simple and plain.

"knew."
