The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

At night.

Chu Tianxiao and the other three roasted food in front of the campfire while discussing the next action.

"First of all, this time, we will not compete with the eldest prince for credit."

After the faint words fell, Xue Yan and Feng Luoer were both surprised - they had been hiding all the way, and they had heard Chu Tianxiao's general account of what had happened during this period on the road, and they also had some understanding of the current situation, but the more so, the more surprised they were when they heard it at this moment...

"Young Master, according to your plan, this trip to the barbarian land is for great merit. If you don't compete with the eldest prince for credit, then won't the next plan be unsustainable?"

Xue Yan was the first to raise the question, and Feng Luoer also said: "Yes, yes, young master, you can't have a grudge without revenge, that would be too aggrieved!"

Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry ...Listen to me."

As he spoke, he stood up, sprinkled some seasoning on the barbecue, looked up at the sky, and said leisurely: "Xue Yan, do you think that by participating in the extermination of the barbarians, you can get the unprecedented top spot in the Great Autumn Examination granted by His Majesty?"

Hearing this, Xue Yan was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "If it was a few years ago, the young master's extermination of the barbarians would be a great achievement, but now... the barbarians have declined, unless the young master takes all the credit, otherwise... I am afraid it will still be difficult to stop the gossip... But according to what the young master said, the eldest prince will not let the young master take all the credit, so... this matter is difficult.

"Well! If it goes wrong, it may be said that you picked up a loophole..." Feng Luoer also nodded.

"That's right..." Chu Tianxiao smiled faintly, sat down again, and said, "So, destroying the barbarians doesn't satisfy my appetite, and it's also full of difficulties... I naturally can't put all my mind on it... This is the first reason."

"Second... You are still so surprised, and Lu Xianhui would never have thought that after I escaped from the predicament, I would not go to various places to recruit soldiers and compete with him for credit. In this way, all his arrangements will fall into vain, and we will have a lot more room for maneuver, this is a surprise..."

Chu When Tianxiao said this, the two lackeys nodded, but soon, Feng Luoer showed an angry expression again: "But young master, the eldest prince has ulterior motives towards you, and he wants to win over Brother Xueyan. It's just a toad wanting to eat swan meat! Are we not going to avenge this?"

"Heh... How can I not avenge!" Chu Tianxiao said leisurely, "But I want to change the way. Going straight to the point and openly grabbing the credit is really boring..."

Speaking of this, Chu Tianxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a brilliant light.

"I have a better idea."

Hearing this, Feng Luo'er's eyes lit up, with an expression of "watching the fun and not minding the trouble": "Young Master, what do you have... No, a good idea?"

Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao didn't mind, and smiled lightly: "Xue Yan, Luo'er, you say... When someone works hard for years to complete a big task, but finds that everyone's attention is elsewhere... In front of a greater achievement, everything someone has done is completely reduced to a foil, the light is covered, the limelight is stolen, and in comparison, it seems weaker than one level..."

After a pause, Chu Tianxiao's smile gradually turned into a joke: "If these things really happened, then what would that arrogant 'someone' think?"

"Is this considered a severe revenge?"

After these words fell, Xue Yan and Feng Luo'er suddenly realized what he meant!

"Hehe, if there really comes such a day, that 'someone' will be so angry that he will die! Young Master, you are really good at playing! Hehe..."

"Young Master is brave." Xue Yan said, "But Young Master, if you don't take any action to destroy the barbarians, I'm afraid that the other party will tarnish your name... You have to be on guard."

"Well, I thought of this too. So, we still need a... show."

Chu Tianxiao spread out a topographic map, pointed at it for a while, and then told his plan, only to hear Xue Yan and Feng Luoer exclaiming, They all sighed at Chu Tianxiao's wild thinking - of course, they didn't just sigh during this period, but listened carefully and put forward their own opinions from time to time...

"Young Master, according to your plan, you must recruit soldiers... Do you want to do this in the Wilderness Basin?"

"Yes... Although the Wilderness Basin can be said to be one of the most chaotic places in the vast land of China, there are many elite warriors, especially the 'Black Swamp Land' deep in the Wilderness Basin! The source of soldiers there can even be said to be the best in the world!" Chu Tianxiao's eyes were firm, and he said slowly, "If you don't intend to In addition, the soldiers there and in various parts of the Savage River Basin will be the main source of soldiers for my unprecedented "army"! "

Hearing this, Xue Yan was silent for a moment and said, "I understand the young master's idea, but firstly, although the people in the Savage River Basin are brave, most of them are savages and wild warriors. It takes years of training to form an army, and we don't have that much time... Secondly, the "Black Swamp Elite" in the "Black Swamp Land" are all in the hands of the Black Swamp Old Man, and the Black Swamp Old Man has profound cultivation and a perverse temperament. He relies on the terrifying land there. No one dared to provoke them... Even the great general Ying Luxian had to go through a lot of trouble and spent a huge price to get 300 elite soldiers from the Black Swamp! This formed the predecessor of the Great Zhou's strongest army, the Luxian Army... And according to the young master's intention, it is obvious that more than 300 are needed, so it will be even more difficult..." "About this... the first point, the time issue, I have a solution, so don't worry about it. As for the second point..." Chu Tianxiao tapped his fingers lightly, paused, and said, "Xueyan, how many people do you have?"

"Back to Young Master, the number of people we can actually use is about two thousand two hundred, and we don't care about the miscellaneous soldiers."

"Well... To realize the plan, the number of this army must not be less than three thousand... Let me think about it, if you further select Xueyan's elite, you can probably get more than 800 people, and then from the wild river basin After searching and recruiting everywhere, we should be able to gather a total of about two thousand five hundred..." Chu Tianxiao murmured while tapping, "In other words... I have to gather together my three thousand cities... uh, elite, We still need to recruit nearly five hundred people from the Black Swamp?"

"Well... the difficulty is indeed not small... but if it succeeds, the rewards will be extremely rich..."

Chu Tianxiao was thinking like this, his thoughts were racing. Suddenly, he realized an oversight, that is, 'Black Marsh' was a piece of fat, and he had his own plans.

, it is impossible for others to just watch, especially after carefully thinking about the current situation, Chu Tianxiao gradually narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, as if there was something profound in it.

"...Haha, it seems that this trip to the barbarian land will definitely not be easy. I think not only Lu Xianhui, but also the neighboring Zhao will come to interfere? Maybe... there is someone who doesn't open their eyes. Emperor Ming came here to join in the fun? Hey, there is a mix of forces from all sides, which is interesting..."

With this thought in his mind, Chu Tianxiao's eyes not only showed no intention of retreating, but instead seemed to have the flames of war ignited!

It seemed that the more difficult it was, the more energetic he became... Soon he finalized in his mind the shocking "plan to become a barbarian and lose one's family"...

His mind turned around and he waved his hand: "Well, it's almost done. Now..."

Hearing the sound, Xueyan and Feng Luoer's eyes immediately froze, waiting for Chu Tianxiao to say the word 'departure'.

However……

They didn't wait for those two words. After Chu Tianxiao said the word 'now', he suddenly picked up a skewer of barbecue, took a bite, and added two words seriously: "Let's eat!"

After saying these words, Xue Yan's face twitched, and Feng Luo'er laughed out loud, thinking that this young master is really a wonderful person...

"What are you laughing at? If you don't eat and drink enough, how can you have the strength to work...Don't wait around, we are going to the wild river basin soon, hurry up! If you don't eat, I will solve it all by myself!" Chu Tianxiao said as he said He was holding on, but his hands were unambiguous, and he caught a lot of food in a row, and a lot of food was destroyed in a short time! This scene only made Feng Luoer anxious, and she quickly reached out to grab it. Even Xueyan silently took a bunch...

You must know that these barbecued beasts were freshly caught ferocious beasts, and before they were slaughtered, Chu Tianxiao specially poured Tianling water into their stomachs - that's right! Just give them the extremely precious Tianling Water...to wash their intestines and stomach!

If other people saw this scene, they would definitely scold the Chu family for their extravagant spending. No, this is simply crazy! But Xue Yan, who had followed Chu Tianxiao earlier, knew very well that this was probably just the beginning...

The Wild River Basin is bound to become the next "disaster area" for Chu Tian Xiaoyang's reputation as a prodigal!

With this thought, Xueyan began to look forward to it while enjoying the prodigal dinner...

…

…

The night passed.

Early the next morning, after passing through the black storm, the natural barrier outside the wild river basin, Chu Tianxiao and his party looked up and saw the clearly divided town in the black plain! I just don’t know if it’s because most of the buildings are dark-colored, or for some other reason… Looking from a distance, this place is actually gray, as mysterious as mist…

This is the outer city of the Wild River Basin!

"Young Master, we are here!" Xue Yan took a step forward and lit up a transmission note. After a while, several excited voices came from far and near!

"Boss! You're back! Huh?!"
