Zhang Rang naturally did not expect that Zhao Hao would arrange the affairs of Bingzhou in less than an hour.
The necessary high-quality seeds, farming tools, feed, and other supplies have already been prepared.
All that's left is to leave everything to Meng Yi to manage.
In other words, Hu Sanniang insisted on going with Zhao Hao, and Zhao Hao had no choice but to leave Meng Yan and Li Xiuning to assist Meng Yi in guarding Jinyang.
With three thousand elite cavalrymen, plus Hu Sanniang and Yuwen Chengdu as deputy generals, the decision to set off could be made within two hours.
Of course, the most speechless one was Zhang Rang.
You want to get going quickly, no problem.
But you beat me up like a pig's head, at least bring a doctor with you on the way to treat me!
"Zhang Changshi, why do you look so worried? We've been marching at a rapid pace these past two days, and we're almost at Huguan Pass. Shouldn't you be happy about this?"
"Ahaha... General, you are right. I was just... just missing His Majesty, that's all."
"Oh! I thought that's why the Attendant-in-Ordinary kept touching his cheek because he missed me at sixty, hahahahahahaha!"
Zhang Rang's lips twitched slightly. Who uses the word "enlightened" at sixty? Who talks about getting slapped in the face every day?
"Haha... General, it's getting late, why don't we set up camp and rest?"
Zhao Hao nodded, and then ordered his more than 3,000 troops to find a suitable open space to set up camp and rest for the night.
Just as Zhao Hao was thinking of taking Hu Sanniang to his tent for a proper martial arts sparring session.
Yuwen Chengdu, his face full of vigilance, interrupted Zhao Hao's thoughts.
"Young master, Chengdu has detected thieves lurking around!"
Zhao Hao raised an eyebrow. "How many people are there? Can Chengdu sense it?"
Yuwen Chengdu then closed his eyes, carefully sensing the surroundings before replying.
"Young master, based on the footsteps and the breathing sounds we can sense... there are approximately five hundred people."
"Only five hundred people... Third Sister, come with me to a place first."
"ah?"
Zhao Hao, of course, led Hu Sanniang into the space and arranged a full range of services for her.
Zhao Hao is indeed that dragon, but not the kind of service the bookworms are thinking of.
Previously, Zhao Hao had spent over 3.5 million luck points to equip Yuwen Chengdu with his own unique cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, weapons, armor, and steeds.
But it was worth it. Not only did it raise Yuwen Chengdu's basic martial arts level to 106, but according to Yuwen Chengdu himself, the cultivation techniques inside also completed the incomplete manual of the ultimate martial arts passed down by his 'master,' allowing him to see where the future path of martial arts lies.
Such a wonderful thing should naturally be given to all my women when I have the time and energy!
He spent over a million luck points to fully adapt Hu Sanniang's exclusive equipment and martial arts techniques.
Perhaps this is the difference in aptitude. Despite possessing a wealth of treasures and martial arts techniques, Hu Sanniang is only at the platinum level, and her potential for improvement is very limited, far inferior to Yuwen Chengdu.
However, Hu Sanniang now possesses martial prowess at over 90 years old, so if they encounter danger, Zhao Hao no longer needs to be distracted by protecting her.
"Chengdu, we're back. Are those people still around, or have they already left?"
"Young master, most of those people have left. It seems that... only about a hundred people remain in the vicinity."
"Oh? That makes things simple... Bring those squad leaders I assigned, let's arrest these people and see what's going on!"
"promise!"
The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry guards consist of nearly one hundred elite soldiers.
Zhao Hao naturally assigned them to be squad leaders, who would usually assist with simple tasks.
Now is the perfect time to bring them along and see who dares to spy on me from the shadows.
"Tell me, who is this Zhao Hao? Why are the commanders so concerned about his movements?"
"Hey, who knows? To say we don't care is definitely impossible! We heroes of Black Mountain were never afraid of those government troops. But Zhao Hao is said to have three heads and six arms, which is why he killed so many Xiongnu and Xianbei that they dared not invade Bingzhou again!"
"We are sworn enemies with the government troops. If Zhao Hao were to attack us in Black Mountain, the situation would be very serious..."
The two bandits were chatting peacefully in the bushes when suddenly a guy covered in mud popped out of the bushes and put his arm around their shoulders.
"Brothers, I was just relieving myself when I heard you two talking about... Zhao Hao? Who is that? I've never heard of him before."
Could it be that he is so handsome that some warlord's wife has taken a fancy to him and wants to abduct him as a gigolo?
Or is this guy incredibly wealthy, and those gang leaders are robbing the rich to help the poor?
The two were so startled when someone suddenly grabbed them from behind that they almost twitched their penises into their stomachs.
I relaxed after hearing this guy's nonsensical words.
"Hey, you rascal, which commander's son are you? You don't even know these things? Your information is way too outdated!"
"Yes, yes, we're both under Commander Bai Rao, but I've never seen you before."
"Hey, I was starving, so I carried my load into the mountains to seek refuge with the nephew of my grandmother's mother's third cousin. His name is Zhang Yan, do you know him?"
"Oh dear, you little rascal, no wonder you don't know anything. What... what kind of family relationship do you have? We don't understand. But Commander Zhang Yan is always thinking about robbing the rich to help the poor, no wonder he raised you to be like this."
"That's right! Did your commander see that this mission was risk-free, so he sent you, a relative he has no connection with, to scout things out? Hahahaha!"
Zhao Hao grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.
