I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Zhang Yuan received two pieces of news, one bad news and one good news.

The bad news is that he has become a wanted target and is included in the Blood Shadow Building's kill list. He will be assassinated again by this assassin organization.

Zhang Yuan might even face a seventh-level killer!
The good news is that Fei Hongming, who had been in charge of Xiyuan City for ten years, finally couldn't bear the pressure from the sect after more than two months of stalemate and bowed to Zhang Yuan.

This Taoist official not only gave the Taoist camp the third month's military expenses, he also allocated the next month's military expenses, and said that there was no need for the Taoist camp to urge him again in the future, and he guaranteed that the full amount would be paid on time.

There won't be any more delays.

Not only that, an old butler who came to visit also brought Fei Hongming's apology.

Ten silver notes with a face value of ten thousand taels!
Zhang Yuan is not short of these 100,000 taels of silver, and Fei Hongming must be well aware of this.

But the fact that this apology was delivered on the second day after Zhang Yuan was assassinated undoubtedly showed the attitude of this Taoist official.

He didn't want to continue to oppose Zhang Yuan, and at the same time denied that he was the one who hired the Blood Shadow Tower.

Zhang Yuan accepted the apology.

Zhang Yuan was actually quite disdainful - even at this point, Fei Hongming was still acting like a Taoist official and only sent his confidants to negotiate peace. This was the character of this man.

Of course, Zhang Yuan also believed that Fei Hongming would not be the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on him in the Blood Shadow Building!
That's why he accepted the money to reassure the other party.

This is also to eliminate the hidden dangers within Xiyuan City.

Even if it is impossible for the two sides to cooperate sincerely, there is no need to continue to confront each other and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.

This matter has been exposed.

However, the impact of Zhang Yuan's assassination on the most prosperous street in Xiyuan City was not so easy to dissipate.

In the next few days, the atmosphere in this Taoist city was quite tense.

It feels like there's a sense of panic and fear.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yuan once again led three hundred soldiers to leave Xiyuan City.

Three days later, a group of horse bandits active in the southwestern border of Xiyuan were annihilated in the Gobi Desert by the Taoist soldiers led by him.

In fact, up to now, there are very few bandits and horse thieves who dare to appear in Xiyuan County and its surrounding areas.

Those mountain strongholds that had existed for many years were completely eradicated, and the trade route from Xiyuan to the Western Regions was cleared.

The bandits who got the news were terrified and had already fled to other places to make a living.

This group of horse thieves had just arrived from the south and were relatively isolated from the news.

As a result, he had just done one job when he was reported to Daoying by the victim who had escaped by chance, and eventually met with destruction.

In fact, horse bandits are extremely mobile. They come and go without a trace, making it almost impossible for ordinary troops to encircle and suppress them.

It is not easy to find their traces.

But this is very simple for Zhang Yuan.

Because the level five red-eyed crow is high in the sky, it can monitor an area of ​​dozens or even hundreds of miles.

And it is not affected even in the dark.

With the reconnaissance and guidance of this mysterious spirit, the demise of this group of horse thieves was an inevitable outcome.

As the sun sets, the endless night slowly covers the Gobi Desert.

Tents were erected next to a low hill, and blazing bonfires dispelled the cold and darkness.

The Taoist soldiers wearing leather armor and carrying swords gathered around the campfire, drinking and laughing loudly to celebrate the victory they had during the day.

Each of their faces was filled with pride.

Battle after battle, victory after victory, made the Taoist soldiers under Zhang Yuan develop a sense of arrogance and bravery.

Today's fight against the besieged horse bandits was a completely one-sided massacre.

Except for a few who were accidentally hit by stray arrows or fell off their horses, the rest were unharmed. Two hundred and seventy-three bandits were killed in the battle, and not a single horse bandit escaped.

On the way back, we also killed a group of gazelles, so that the main course of today's dinner became fresh barbecue.

"grown ups."

Mo Wei enthusiastically handed over a freshly roasted leg of lamb, his mouth almost grinning to the back of his head.

This fifth-level warrior from the Mo family had a very different personality from Sun Yujiang, and he really didn't like guarding a group of soldiers in the Xiyuan Dao camp.

This trip with Zhang Yuan to fight bandits was an opportunity he had fought for with all his might.

Finally, I had a good time again.

To be honest, the group of horse thieves during the day were not enough for him to kill alone.

Mo Wei's axe had long been thirsty.

So he flattered Zhang Yuan in the hope that the latter would take him out again next time to kill the bandits!
"Ah."

Zhang Yuan took the roasted lamb leg and took a few bites. After wolfing down half of it, he threw it to the gray-fanged lynx lying beside him.

Now, every time he goes out to fight, he will bring this mysterious beast with him to sharpen its claws.

The gray-fanged lynx raised its head and grabbed the lamb leg in its mouth, eating it cleanly, including the meat and bones, with just a few crunches.

She licked her tongue with satisfaction and looked at Zhang Yuan eagerly.

"Good guy!"

Mo Wei looked at it with envy and was extremely jealous of Zhang Yuan for owning this majestic and powerful beast.

The Gray-fanged Lynx's combat power is much stronger than that of a fourth-level warrior. It can run faster than a warhorse, its claws are sharp enough to tear through heavy armor, and its fur is so strong that it is not afraid of being chopped by swords, spears, or halberds. It can even serve as a mount.

Not only that, this beast is very human-like and can perfectly execute Zhang Yuan's instructions.

It's simply a warrior's dream beast!

The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He snatched a roasted leg of lamb from someone else and handed it to the Gray-fang Lynx with a smile.

As a result, the gray-fanged lynx ignored Mo Wei and showed disdain for the leg of lamb that was brought to its mouth.

This made Mo Wei very embarrassed. He scratched his head helplessly and looked at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan secretly laughed and said, "Eat it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gray-fanged lynx opened its mouth, bit the lamb leg, and started chewing it again.

Don't laugh just for the sake of being silly.

However, the next moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly stood up and looked towards the Gobi Desert covered in darkness in the distance.

He shouted in a deep voice: "Get on the horse and meet the enemy!"

Zhang Yuan's voice was like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears in an instant.

The Taoist soldiers in the temporary camp all dropped the wine bags and barbecues in their hands, ran back to their mounts as quickly as possible, untied the reins and jumped onto the horses.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan also rode on the gray-fang lynx and slapped its neck with his right palm.

oh~
The gray-fanged lynx raised its head and roared, then suddenly spread out its four legs and ran towards the northwest.

Three hundred cavalrymen followed closely behind, and in an instant, a cloud of dust was raised, like a galloping earth dragon rushing forward.

Under the night sky, a red-eyed crow flew across the sky, its scarlet eyes firmly locked onto its target.

It was it that detected the enemy's arrival.

Soon, Zhang Yuan saw a series of stiff black shadows appearing on the Gobi Desert in the distance.

They were actually a bunch of iron-blue zombies! (End of this chapter)
