Chapter 56 The Glory of the Past
After Xiao Yu returned to the territory, Xiao Hong also basically completed some preparations, mainly some items needed on the road and some gifts he brought.
No matter what, when the fifth lady comes home to visit her relatives, she can’t bring any gifts. When she meets her former younger relatives and friends, she has to give her a reward or a gift, and she can’t be empty-handed.
These are all necessary etiquettes among the nobles. We must not make people think that Xiwen is too shabby to be the young lady of the Lion King. What's more, the Lion King King King is indeed not so poor now.
Xiao Yu robbed for several months and actually made a lot of good things.
This northwest land is an important channel for inland trade with Yunmeng people. Business travelers often pass by here. Although there are many robbers, the high profits still make them take risks.
All these business and traveling things were robbed by robbers, and Xiao Yu robbed the robbers again, and in the end, all these wealth was basically reached Xiao Yu.
Some things, even good things that the old butler Xiao Hong had never seen before, such as antiques, precious jewelry, spices, etc., especially some women's items.
Yunmeng people don’t lack other things, but they lack exquisite crafts in the Central Plains, as well as some excellent spices, etc., which are particularly popular there, so business travelers also like to transport these things the most, so Xiao Yu also has the most of these things here.
During this period, several sister-in-law thought that the things Xiao Yu robbed were all women's supplies, so they directly made a list for him and what they had to grab back, which made Xiao Yu laugh and cry.
Now, no one of the five ladies wears ten rings on their hands, hangs several necklaces, and can be lit all night long, and can be replaced every day, throwing them in packs of cheap goods like hawkers, and choosing them at will.
All Xiao Yu’s base needs are gold coins, and these things cannot be converted into gold coins. Xiao Yu robs them when he is short of money. He didn’t let the old housekeeper sell these things, and they were all for several sisters-in-law to wear them.
This time when Xiwen went home, she naturally brought a lot of things, which would come in handy when she was about to go home.
Wang Zimo has been waiting here these days and is a little anxious. He doesn't know what Xiao Yu is doing. He wants to find Xiao Yu, but finds that Xiao Yu is not in the territory at all.
He snorted secretly, thinking that Xiao Yu had gone to look for flowers and willows again.
The nearby Duchy of Wei, Huicheng, is famous for its prosperity and prosperity. Xiao Yu has gone there a lot in the past and met Kalu.
Fortunately, within a few days, Xiao Yu came back and gave them a date for departure, just two days later.
After finally experiencing two days, Wang Zimo got up early in the morning, prepared his carriage, and prepared to set off. However, when he arrived at the city gate, he found that Xiao Yu and others were waiting there. Several sisters-in-law said goodbye to Xiwen and kept reminding her to come back early.
Wang Zimo looked at them like this and sneered in his heart: "The Lion King will never come back again to lead such a broken place."
"Okay, Miss, it's getting late, please get on the carriage." Wang Zimo came over and urged Xiwen to set off.
Seeing that Xiwen didn't even bring a bag or something, Wang Zimo couldn't help but despise the Lion King Leader, who was so down and out. No matter what, Xiwen was also the fifth lady here, and she didn't prepare anything. Fortunately, there was no need for these, and taking Xiwen back was done.
Xiwen nodded when she heard this, and reluctantly let go of her sister-in-law's hands.
"Miss, please get on the carriage." Although Wang Zimo's status in the Wang family is much higher than that of Xiwen, in front of outsiders, he still has to get the lady to get on the carriage first and then go up. This is the rule, and of course, it will naturally look different when he returns home.
"Come on, drive the fifth lady's carriage over." At this time, the old butler Xiao Hong cleared his throat and shouted loudly.
When Wang Zimo heard this, his brows frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, the Lion King Leader sent a carriage. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Butler Xiao, don't be so polite. You should use our carriage. Otherwise, the speed of ordinary carriages is too slow, and I don't know how many times it will take to delay on the road."
The Wang family's carriage is a very luxurious carriage that blesses the wind magic circle. It sits smoothly and does not bump and is very comfortable. Two horses pulling a carriage are also carefully selected good horses, hard-working and hardworking. Moreover, because of the effect of the magic circle, the speed of driving is extremely fast, even not much slower than ordinary cavalry.
Moreover, the carriage was extremely spacious, and even if it was seven or eight people, it was definitely not crowded at all. Therefore, he did not intend to let the Lion King lead the car from the beginning.
Xiao Hong smiled slightly at this time and said, "It's not that we are polite. Butler Xiao doesn't know anything. The fifth lady has been in the Lion King for a long time and is not used to riding on other carriages."
As he was talking, suddenly there was a neighing sound of horses, and a burst of smoke and dust rolled up. Eight white horses drove over with a large luxury golden carriage.
All of these eight horses have snow-white hair and neat and clean hair. There is no hair on their bodies. Moreover, the four hooves are also snow-white. They are all rare breeds from Yunmeng Tianshan Mountain. They are called Tianma with four hooves stepping on the snow.
All of these horses are extremely delicate and noble. They are not only the best in the horses, but also much taller than ordinary horses. They are extremely powerful and have a very difficult time to obtain. Their value in the Central Plains has reached tens of thousands of gold coins.
Now the emperor of the Tianshi Dynasty is on patrol, and all the horses and horses they ride on are used to pull the carts, and the ones pull the carts are sixteen horses.
The posture of eight horses is something that only princes with particularly noble identities can possess. Ordinary nobles are not allowed to make carts led by eight horses.
Of course, this is just a traditional rule. Now, with the ruling power of the Tianshi Dynasty gradually weakening, many nobles secretly used eight horses to pull carts, and even some of them had sixteen horses secretly.
However, Xiao Yu used eight horses to pull a cart is legitimate and not considered a violation.
Because, Xiao Yu's father Xiao Zhantian made great achievements back then, pacified the barbarians, saved the old emperor's carriage, was named General of the Lion King, Duke of the First Class Lion King of the Herald of the Empire, and was definitely worthy of eight horses to pull a cart.
Xiao Yu and his brothers died, so this first-class lion king duke naturally fell on his head.
Therefore, if others can't get into such a car, Xiao Yu can completely take it. It's justified and doesn't have to sneak in.
In addition to these eight eye-catching horses, the decoration of this carriage is also extremely luxurious. The size of this carriage is four or five times larger than that of the Wang family's carriage. It is all inlaid with gold edges, and various carvings are extremely beautiful and magnificent. It is definitely a masterpiece of the master.
Moreover, it is extremely rare to carve two wind-type magic circles on ordinary carriages. Because magicians are both precious, it is necessary to have a lot of face to carve a complex magic circle.
And this carriage carved with eight magic circles, which shows its luxury and luxury.
This carriage is not four wheels like an ordinary carriage, but eight wheels, divided into two carriages and separated separately. This is for the different needs of some nobles. Sometimes they sit in the first carriage and enjoy the scenery, taste good wine, and sometimes they rest and sleep in the second carriage.
When Wang Zimo saw this carriage, he was stunned.
Isn’t the Lion King’s Collar gone? How could there be such a luxurious carriage? This carriage is probably worth millions of gold coins.
Moreover... they were all Tianma, eight Tianma, and pure white Tianma. The lord took a lot of effort and supported many people, but they only got four Tianma, but they were not pure white, and they were not so majestic and agile.
Where did this Lion King get such a luxurious carriage?
But he didn't know that this carriage was completely robbed by Xiao Yu at one time. As for whom the robber was robbed, it was not within Xiao Yu's concern.
Originally, not all the horses pulling the cart were Yunmeng Tianma, but during the robbery, Xiao Yu robbed many Yunmeng Tianma and actually collected eight pure white horses, which were naturally used to pull the cart. The old housekeeper also absolutely agreed with this, because such a cart is definitely a symbol of identity. No matter what, Xiao Yu is also a first-class duke. Such a cart is worthy of his identity.
Near the Lion King Leader, because many robbers buy horses from Yunmeng or rob the horse teams transported by merchants, there is absolutely no shortage of good horses.
The horses Xiao Yu rode were all Tianma, and even the horses that were matched by many Long Hui and others were all Tianma. This kind of thing can be said to be a local specialty.
When Wang Zimo saw these luxurious carriages drawn by eight horses, he suddenly became alert. The Xiao family is a hereditary first-class lion king and is qualified to drive the carriages of eight horses.
Although the Xiao family is now in decline, the Xiao family is a nobleman after all, and any nobleman has to bend down to salute when they meet. This is the traditional rule of the noble.
Now the lord wants to force the lady to remarry, but the boy from the Xiao family disagrees. Will there be some trouble?
At this moment, Wang Zimo was infected by the momentum of the carriage, and suddenly thought of the glory of the Xiao family, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Forget it, so what if they are dukes? Now they have all been reduced to this. A territory with a population of less than 50,000, and even dukes are useless. How will this matter be decided in the end? I don't need to worry about it."
Thinking of this, Wang Zimo snorted heavily and walked towards his carriage with an extremely jealous look.
After all, being able to ride in such a carriage is an absolute symbol of identity and status, and it is a supreme glory. Who doesn’t want to sit there once?
Unfortunately, he does not have the qualification.
No wonder the old butler Xiao Hong said that just now. The fifth lady is used to making carriages led by the Lion King, but she can't get used to other carriages. If she is used to making such carriages, who can still get used to making other carriages?
The Wang family's carriage is also a good carriage, but when compared in front of this carriage, it immediately became a kitten in front of the lion.
At this time, Xiwen, supported by two maids, had already entered the second carriage, and the first carriage was prepared by Xiao Yu himself.
Although Xiao Yu can ride a horse, he still likes to enjoy the carriage and drink red wine, while rushing on the road while enjoying the scenery outside. What a moisturizing thing.
"Since that's the case, let's set off." Wang Zimo said to Xiao Yu and was about to board the carriage. He really didn't want to look at the carriage anymore, which was really exciting for him.
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded and said, "Butler Wang wait, my guards have not arrived yet. You know, I, the Lion King, have not managed well, and there are always some small robbers, so I have to bring some guards when I go out. If I were okay myself, I am also the Lion King, and I am not afraid of those little robbers, but with my fifth sister-in-law here, I must be careful. Recently, I have heard that many robbers are beating my sister-in-law and paying attention."
Xiao Yu's words were a pun, mocking Prince Mo for this purpose.
Wang Zimo snorted coldly, not understanding, but he said lightly: "My Wang family came here this time and knew that the Lion King's bandits were rampant, so he brought a hundred elite cavalry, including five fighters, enough to deal with any little thieves. These thieves dared to block the way of your Lion King Duke, but they would never dare to show off their power in front of the flag of my Wang family. Master Xiao, you will be safe with us, and you don't need to worry."
The meaning of Wang Zimo's words is also a satirical mockery of King Xiao Yushi's poor governance, and even some thieves can't handle it. Now that we have our elite soldiers, don't be afraid, they will protect you.
Xiao Yu smiled slightly but didn't say anything. Not long after, a roar suddenly came from the wilderness, and more than a dozen figures suddenly poured into everyone's sight.
When the cavalry of the Wang family saw those figures, they immediately shouted: "Orcs, why are there orcs here? Prepare for battle."
Although these soldiers were well-trained, they were still shocked when they suddenly saw more than a dozen orcs. The reputation of orcs is known to everyone on this continent, and it is definitely synonymous with courage.
Although they have a lot of people and have experienced many battles, they are still a little panicked when they suddenly see the orcs.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu suddenly waved his hand and said calmly in a very pretentious tone: "Don't panic, that's my guard."
"What? Your Guard?" After hearing Xiao Yu's words, almost everyone in the Wang family's chin fell off.
The orcs' guards? I haven't heard of such a guards in many years? At that time, only the noblest nobles and the most powerful lords could tame some barbaric orcs as their guards. It was a symbol of absolute glory and status, and it was even more glorious than the female slaves who owned the elves.
Xiao Yu has read a lot of books recently and has learned a lot about the history of this continent. Although he still has not found out why Tyrande is the god of the elves, he also knows a lot about the history of this continent.
Orcs were not extinct all at once, but were suppressed by human race bit by bit, and gradually lost their space for life. Even now, orcs were not completely extinct, but they were hidden deep in the mountains and were difficult to find.
Once upon a time, orcs were not rare on the continent. Many people had seen orcs. At that time, orcs were often caught by humans and were often put into the Colosseum, allowing them to fight with monsters, or kill each other with their own tribes to enjoy the human aristocrats.
Later, some people trained orcs to become guards, and as bodyguards, it was called the most popular fashion. At that time, it was absolutely amazing to have someone with a few orc bodyguards around him.
It was not until nearly a hundred years that orcs gradually withdrew from human sight because of the constant killing of humans and their number was getting smaller and smaller.
However, it is said that there are orc fighters in large couplets in some large cities.
This time when Xiao Yu went to the Wang family, he needed to use some deterrent force to prevent the other party from being too presumptuous and to increase the bargaining chips for negotiation. After he learned about these history, he deliberately brought an orc infantry over, so that the other party could not understand his true strength.
In addition to these ten orc infantrymen, Xiao Yu also brought Tyrande, Grom and the great magician Anthonydas to go with him.
The reason for taking Tyrande is that the guards of the elves are more nb than those of orcs. Although many nobles at that time used elves women as their personal pets, in a longer period of history, thousands of years ago, when human relations and orcs and elves were not so rigid, noble elves would lower their noble heads and act as guards for some human heroes.
The famous Augustus Emperor in history once had several guards of the elves and a full thousand orc guards, and was talked about.
Xiao Yu now brings the Orc Guard and the Elf Guard, and his identity will definitely be greatly improved.
In addition, magicians are definitely rare and precious professions in this world. Only some powerful nobles can afford magicians to serve.
So Xiao Yu also brought Lao An and could also help him to fill the storefront. Now, Lao An is at level 13, which is equivalent to the second-level level of human magicians. Second-level magicians are absolutely eye-catching everywhere.
Eleven orcs, one elves, one magicians, and the guards formed by these people, damn, no one should think about it first when they see it.
Xiao Yu really brought their purpose, and actually made plans to make a tough plan if he really couldn't agree on it.
"Nimale Gobi, if I don't open my eyes, I will just snatch people and leave."
These orc infantry are all infantry with a level 6, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to any human first-level fighter. With their strong bodies, ordinary human first-level fighter is not their opponent at all.
Although these people still cannot face the army of the other party's territory, it is still fine to escape secretly after using it.
With the shocked eyes of Wang Zimo and others almost falling out, Xiao Yu stepped onto the carriage, waved his hand and said, "Set off."
After saying that, Xiao Yu didn't care about Wang Zimo at all and went into the carriage by himself.
