7793 Chapter 7791-unafraid of backlash

Daren, are you going to ask for grain from the common grain merchants of cangyue city? Im afraid they wont agree! All of these major grain merchants have their own backgrounds. Blue Moon City is so close to the capital, so all of them must have some connections.

One of the remaining two guards hesitated for a moment and finally reminded Fei daqiang in a low voice,If we use tough methods, the backlash in the capital will be huge. Im afraid well be targeted at that time!

He wasnt talking about Fei daqiang, but the commander Lin Yi and the Army he led.

The guard who spoke had no background, or rather, his background was this Army. The two sides were bound together for good or bad, so he appeared and said a few words.

Its fine. Do you think Im afraid of a rebound? What a joke!

Fei daqiang snorted disdainfully,They have a background, but do I not? The Marshal is the backing of this general. Who has the ability to touch him?

The guard didnt say anything more, but he didnt think so.

As far as he was concerned, Lin Yi was a Marshal, and he wouldnt be able to protect himself in a fight, so what was a mere second Princes son to him?

It was true that the current Sima clan was a royal family, but the Feng clan and the Nangong clan both had the qualifications to become royal families. Once they offended too many people, the Sima clan would be completely overturned!

At that time, Sima Zhongda would be the one to take the blame, and the instigator would be Fei daqiang. He would definitely be thrown out to take the blame!

The guard glanced at Fei daqiang and sighed in his heart.

He could only stop there. If he said too much and word got out, he would be in deep trouble.

Fei daqiangs words were unyielding, but in fact, he didnt want to forcibly collect grain. He had just said that it was business!

Blue Moon City had a bountiful harvest, so the grain merchants here would definitely have a lot of grain stored.

This was because it wasnt very convenient for the civilians to transport food on the sub Island, and they might be attacked by the darkness magical beasts on the way.

In addition, there were also many groups of thieves who would Rob.

Therefore, unless there was a military escort, very few cities would exchange food with each other.

Thus, Blue Moon City really had a lot of grain. Everyone had surplus grain in their hands, and the grain merchants couldnt sell their goods at a high price.

Fei daqiang saw this point and wanted to purchase in bulk.

When he left the capital, other than some rations and supplies, he also had a lot of gold certificates.

This was reserved for the daily expenses of the Army, the soldiers salary, and rewards.

Fei daqiang was in charge of logistics, so this sum of money was naturally in his hands.

In order to ensure that Lin Yis Army had enough food, he was going to use the money to buy supplies first.

Of course, Fei daqiang would definitely not buy them at market price if he found those big grain merchants.

Now that he was representing the royal family, how could they not give him a discount for such a large transaction?

If he didn t, he would break the legs of these profiteers!

In cangyue city, Fei daqiang was busy with the logistics of the team, and at the front of the Army, Ling Hanxue was leading the scouts.

Ling Hanxue was leading a small team of six Scouts as they rode their Black Spirit Ferghana horses through a Canyon.

After pa.s.sing through the valley, the Black Spirit Ferghana horse would arrive at The Second City in about six hours.

The canyon was fifteen to sixteen miles away from Lin Yis main force, and Li Yingjians forward strike Battalion was seven to eight miles away.

Commander, weve run a little too far. Why dont we turn back here?

One of the scouts beside Ling Hanxue pulled on the reins and controlled the Black Spirit Ferghana horse to turn two rounds on the spot.Its already getting dark. The Army should be setting up camp soon.

He thought that the Army would be stationed in cangyue city tonight, but Lin Yi didnt even enter the city. He went around the city and maintained his speed, so they had to camp in the wilderness.

Normally, the night in the wilderness was very dangerous. The strength of the spirit beasts of darkness would be enhanced at night, so there were more dark spirit beasts at night.

This was also the reason why there was a warriors relay.

However, the Army didnt have such concerns. The Army of 20000 would also set up defenses when they set up camp. Unless those darkness spirit beasts formed a beast tide, generally, even 30 to 50 of them would not dare to approach the Armys camp.

Ling Hanxue raised her head to look at the sky, and then looked at the canyon in front of her.

The two sides of the steep rock walls were so high that the top couldnt be seen. In the middle, there was a stone path that could allow five riders to ride side by side. If someone threw a stone the size of a fist from above, as long as it hit someone, it would definitely break their skull!

This is a dangerous place. The Army will set off tomorrow. If there are enemy troops, it will be too late for us to investigate!

Ling Hanxue shook her head. Although it was her first time following an Army, she was still very qualified to be a Scout.I will go up from this side, you two go up from the other side. The rest of you stay on alert. If you find something wrong, send the signal right away. Those on alert can retreat at once!

Yes!

The scout team cupped their fists and accepted the order.

However, they did not think much of it and felt that Ling Hanxue was being too careful. How could there be an ambush in the heart of Hongshang Commandery?

However, they were the most elite of the kings citys Garrison, and the Scout Camp was the elite of the elite. If their commander gave an order, even if they had doubts, they would carry it out to the letter.

Two Scouts who were experienced in mountain climbing separated from the small team of six. They climbed up from one side of the cliff, while Ling Hanxue climbed up from the other side alone.

They were all body cultivators, so even without any tools, they were still quite fast. After a while, the people on both sides had reached the top of the cliff, but they didnt find anything unusual.

I knew it. How could anyone ambush us in the hinterlands of our Hongshang Commandery? Commander, youre a bit too cautious.

One of the two Scouts who had climbed up the cliff pouted and shook his head. He grumbled in a low voice,Its normal to be so careful when approaching the northern border. If were like this now, wouldnt every blade of gra.s.s and tree have to be carefully inspected when we reach the northern border?

Alright, you can stop talking!

The other Scout, who was slightly older, shouted,The commander has just taken over our Scout Battalion, so he will definitely make some moves. Dont court death and be treated as a warning to others!

These proud soldiers and valiant generals of the Royal capitals Garrison were naturally not too convinced by a commander who had been appointed out of nowhere. This was only the first day that Ling Hanxue had taken over, so it was impossible for her to make everyone submit to her.

That was why the two Scouts were complaining.

However, they had not expected that the cliff on the other side was not that far away from them. Ling Hanxues hearing was extremely sharp, and the words they were saying drifted into her ears along with the wind.

Softly? Hehe!

However, Ling Hanxue did not have any intention of losing her temper. She looked young and was a girl. It was normal for those guys to be unconvinced. Anyway, as long as they followed orders and did not delay Zhong DAs matters, it would be fine.
