Chapter 186 I Know He Is Black Tiger

When Ying Liang heard that Zhao Yu had been given full authority and was also going to sell these swords, he showed joy on his face.

The senior has always been short of things, and even when my father went there, it was not easy to get them. I didn't expect that this time he could let his aunt and sister bring them to sell.

Why sell such good things? Of course, the good meat will rot in the pot. Prince Zhao’s palace has no shortage of money.

"Ying Liang, you go first. Some things can be discussed when you come back." Princess Fengming's voice sounded.

Ying Liang nodded, remembered something, took out a stack of golden paper scrolls from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu's eyebrows and eyes were narrowed into crescents.

Gold ticket.

The gold notes exchanged by the Ministry of Revenue are two for ten thousand taels and one for five thousand taels.

Twenty-five thousand taels of gold.

"This is for the Jade Buddha Bodhi seeds. You can keep the extra money for yourself." Ying Liang lowered his voice and said softly, "You are old enough now. You should save money for your dowry and not spend it lavishly."

After royal women got married, they had no property and were not valued by their in-laws, and many of them lived a miserable life.

Zhao Yu nodded, and seeing that Ying Liang and the others were about to leave, he hurriedly handed over one of the two swords in his hands.

"Well, brothers and sisters, let's settle accounts. This sword is worth the extra money you gave me."

"I'll have more good things in my hands in the future. If you want them, just pay for them."

Ying Liang smiled, took the sword, held it in his hand, weighed it slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Good sword."

He whispered, turned around, mounted the warhorse brought by the guards, and galloped away with Ying Chong.

At this time, Zhang Yuan was already at the Zhengyang County Supervisory Office.

In the lobby, Yu Zhentang, the head of the Black Ice Platform in Zhengyang County, handed a piece of paper to Zhang Yuan with a serious expression.

"Tonight, a group of archers and crossbowmen from the Ministry of Works will cross the Guangling River and be delivered to the Chilin Army."

"The garrison troops and the government office's supervisory officer and sergeant will all be there to escort the handover."

"The secret guards have reported that a Northern Yan demon has infiltrated the Guangling River, and they are teaming up with the pirates gathered at the cliffs, intending to intercept the military vessels."

Looking at Zhang Yuan, Yu Zhentang said in a deep voice, "Jushui Cliff is located in a dangerous place on the river bank at the junction of three counties. It is not within the territory of Zhengyang County. We have tried to unite with Langya and Yuchuan counties to suppress the bandits several times but failed."

"Commander Zhang, this time, the Black Ice Terrace of Zhengyang Commandery intends to seize the opportunity to exterminate the bandits at Jushui Cliff. At the very least, we must inflict heavy damage."

Lowering his voice, Yu Zhentang whispered, "To be honest, the Great Qin is about to launch an attack on the Northern Yan Zhenxi Army. If there is any trouble with the logistics business on the Guangling River at this time, the Zhengyang County Government and the Black Ice Platform will be held heavily responsible."

……

The Guangling River is 30,000 miles long, passing through seven counties and connecting to Northern Yan.

The reason Murong Zhao was able to establish himself in a county was not only because he had the Heavenly Demon Palace behind him, but also because Northern Yan had the Guangling River outlet and prosperous trade. The products and goods of one county were equivalent to those of several counties.

After Northern Yan established its own regime, the trade between Guangling and Northern Yan on the River Guangling continued uninterrupted, and countless people secretly traveled along the river trade route.

Many of them were half-bandits and half-merchants, with caravans backed by families or even martial arts sects. They lived a very comfortable life relying on their business with Beiyan.

The Qin court officials all knew about this matter, but until they were ready to re-swallow Northern Yan, they turned a blind eye to the caravan.

Just like Toyota County, it also has prosperous commerce.

Although the Qin Dynasty attached great importance to its territory, it valued its people even more.

The Yan territory is there, and the Qin Dynasty can take it back at any time.

The better the lives of the people, the more affection they will have for the Qin Dynasty.

Zhang Yuan led a hundred cavalrymen and set out from the county town. By sunset, they had arrived at Fengling Ferry on the Guangling River, three hundred miles away.

Accompanying him was the Black Cavalry Captain Wen Liu, who was in the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm and had once followed Zhang Yuan in forming a formation to charge against an army of 20,000 in Liangyuan Territory.

That battle had gathered eight hundred Black Cavalrymen from Zhengyang County. At this point, nearly all of Zhang Yuan's Black Cavalrymen had followed him into Liangyuan Territory. "The county government has deployed river patrols and garrison troops. Any ships carrying troops and armor entering the area will be protected."

Onew unfolded a sheepskin map in his hand and pointed at the sails of the ships sailing on the river ahead.

"The Guangling River in Zhengyang County is basically a flat river. It's a thousand feet wide, so it's impossible for those pirates to intercept it."

"Only after entering Zhengyang County for several dozen miles, you will reach Huilongtan, where the water flows rapidly and the rocks on both sides are in disorder."

Zhang Yuan nodded.

Now he is wearing black armor, with a long sword at his waist, a crossbow hanging next to his horse, and a longbow and black arrows next to his saddle.

His face was half covered with armor, with faint tiger stripes, and his body was upright, like a ferocious tiger choosing its prey.

Boats of all sizes are docked at the shore of Fenglingdu.

Ying Liang, standing on the deck of a 18-foot-long green wooden sailboat, looked up. Ying Chong, standing beside him, glanced at the shore with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "A garrison ship, and patrols, is this the arrival of an official, or—"

It must be no small matter for the county government to mobilize such a large force.

"The Chilin Army and the Zhenxi Army have already deployed their carriages and horses. The county government should be protecting the soldiers and armored personnel as they cross the border." Ying Liang shook his head and turned his gaze towards the upper reaches of the river.

"We who are guarding the Prince's Mansion are at odds with the local officials. We will not ask about anything they don't want us to know."

Guarding the palace is more about monitoring the local area. When encountering major events, they will cooperate with local officials and even mobilize local forces, but most of the time they have little contact with each other.

On the surface, everyone was trying to avoid suspicion. After all, the Black Ice Platform and the Censorate had caught something on their hands and would really hold on to it.

Moreover, because the momentum of Prince Zhao's Palace has been suppressed by Prince Gu's Palace recently, the county government has become more and more alienated from the lineage of Prince Zhao's Palace.

Boats of all sizes were moving upstream. It was already dark and the lights on the boats were flickering.

Ying Chong watched two large county ships pass by their ship and recognized that the people on the deck were the sergeants and the supervisors.

After a while, a thirty-meter-long ship quietly passed by.

Ying Liang, standing on the deck, had a gleam in his eyes as he looked at the vague black-armored figure on the ship, his face revealing a solemn expression.

"Black Knight?"

I didn't expect that Zhengyang County would even send out the Black Cavalry. This move is really big.

Ying Liang's eyes fell on the deck of a large ship that was passing by, and he saw a figure wearing black armor and a half-mask on his face on the bow.

"Black Tiger..."

Ying Chong looked up when he heard the voice, and just as he saw the big ship passing by, he saw the figure in black armor.

There was horror in his eyes.

That knife!

The long sword hanging on the black tiger's waist was clearly the dragon tooth he had given away!
As if sensing Ying Chong's gaze, Zhang Yuan on the deck slowly turned around.

At this moment, no matter whether it was Ying Liang or Ying Chong, or even the other guards of Prince Zhao's Mansion on the deck, all of them had their hair standing on end, as if they were facing a ferocious tiger!
What a powerful person this is!
What kind of killing must have caused such evil spirit!

The moment this feeling came, as the big ship passed by, the black tiger on the deck turned its head and disappeared.

Ying Liang turned his head and saw the horror in his second brother's eyes.

"he is--"

Ying Chong pointed at the big ship.

Ying Liang nodded and patted Ying Chong on the shoulder.

"I know, he is Black Tiger."

"People like this are too disdainful to make friends with us who guard the palace."

"Don't force it, or you might upset such a vicious character."
