Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 471 - 161 Chen Jie: I want you both (please subscribe) _6

“Black Cavalry!!”

Chen Jie’s eyes suddenly narrowed. While he might have overlooked other things, he could not ignore the Black Cavalry.

The Black Cavalry was another ace up Darugachi’s sleeve, even more crucial than Qimu Ge.

Five hundred Black Cavalry, each a master above the Dark Force level—arranged in a battle formation, no Energy Transformation Master could withstand their charge. Even Nan Batian at his peak of Energy Transformation wouldn’t dare confront the five hundred Black Cavalry head-on.

Why would Darugachi mobilize the Black Cavalry now?

Chen Jie looked towards Xiao Hu, who said, “Hmm, that day I spotted them at the East City Gate, and another time I think it was in South City; the locations vary every day!”

After hearing this, Chen Jie’s eyes sharpened. The daily change in positions suggested they were patrolling outside the city.

Mobilizing the Black Cavalry for patrols—what were they guarding against?

Chen Jie thought and realized there was only one answer: guarding against the Zoroastrian Sect. Coupled with the fact that the Zoroastrian Sect’s transportation routes had been severed, there was a possibility that the Darugachi Mansion had received certain intel and was specifically guarding against the Zoroastrian Sect transporting military supplies!

This was going to be tricky!

Chen Jie furrowed his brows. Things seemed difficult.

He needed to transport military supplies out of the city but would have to undergo inspections. How could he evade both inspections and Black Cavalry patrols?

It was bothersome, but at least there was still time—half a month at least.

The immediate concern was whether Master Bai should be returning from Hubei Shennong soon. He wondered whether he had managed to obtain the Nine-flavor Detoxification Pill!

Thinking this, Chen Jie realized there was quite a lot to handle next.

The Zoroastrian Sect’s military supplies, Liu Song’s treatment, and dealing with Nan Batian: each issue, one after another, was very troublesome.

And there was no telling what else might happen in between.

Fortunately, his family affairs were not problematic, allowing him to focus on other matters.

“Xiao Hu, when will Master return?”

Xiao Hu responded, “According to the Message Eagle, it should be around two days before they return to Mianshui County. They’ve been traveling day and night, and fortunately, Old Mr. An wasn’t wandering around. They found him as soon as they arrived. Master Bai didn’t even have time for a meal with his mentor before hurrying back.”

Touched by this, Chen Jie said, “My Master really went through a lot.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu commented, “Indeed, this time Master Bai really suffered.”

Chen Jie nodded.

The Fishing Guild Headquarters!

Not far from the street corner dumpling stall.

Slurp slurp~

A man in black was voraciously eating dumplings, when suddenly three men appeared nearby, followed by a group of subordinates.

The three men approached the man in black.

Without raising his head, the man in black said, “Guild Leader Nan, such an impressive entourage.”

Slurp, slurp…

He put the hot dumplings into his mouth, sloshing them around before swallowing.

The man in the middle of the trio then sat down—a correct guess, it indeed was the Gang Leader of the Fishing Guild, Nan Batian.

On his left stood Qin Ying, and on his right, Tang Ziyue.

The man in black looked at Nan Batian and put down his dumpling spoon, wiping his mouth with the cloth on the table and said, “Can’t deny, the dumplings at your doorstep are quite tasty.”

Nan Batian looked at the man and said, “Ghost Hand Gu Qingfeng, why have you come back and even sent someone to contact me?”

Gu Qingfeng replied, “Hehe, Guild Leader Nan, for your plan, I even lost my Ghost Hand Hall. Now I’m so desperate, I’ve come to you for a meal.”

Hearing this, Nan Batian chuckled, “Hehe, Ghost Hand Gu Qingfeng begging for food, won’t people laugh if this gets out?”

Gu Qingfeng replied, “I’ve got no choice.”

Nan Batian then asked, “How much do you want?”

“Twenty thousand taels of gold.”

“Hehe, you’re really something asking for so much. At most ten thousand taels.”

Nan Batian offered.

“Deal,” said Gu Qingfeng.

“But you have to do something for me.”

Gu Qingfeng squinted his eyes and said, “You really know how to use people. What is it?”

Nan Batian signaled, and Qin Ying handed over a piece of paper, “In three days, right here, help me kill someone!”

“Who?”

Gu Qingfeng looked at Nan Batian.

Nan Batian said, “Xiantao, Bai Wenjing!”

Gu Qingfeng glanced at Nan Batian; Nan added, “And destroy this detoxification medicine.”

Gu Qingfeng squinted his eyes tighter and said, “You’re ruthless, killing your own people. Alright, I’ll take the job.”

Nan Batian smiled, “Good, then I’ll leave it to you.”

Getting up, Nan Batian slowly walked away from the dumpling stall, whispering to Qin Ying, “Clean this up, don’t let anyone know I met him.”

Qin Ying responded, “Understood.”

The next moment, two subordinates swiftly beheaded the old couple selling dumplings, killing them instantly without a chance to scream.
