Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 1986 Martial arts version "The King in Yellow"

When Liu Xing led a group of players across the stone arch bridge, the sound of dice falling in his ears kept coming and going, which also made Liu Xing nervous. It's okay that something happened, if something happened, the debt would be more or less on my own head, and it would be difficult for the third prince to explain it.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing called everyone to speed up their pace together, and opened their eyes to see the surrounding plants and trees clearly, and don't ignore the son eagle.

Fortunately, there is only one road leading to Tianshui Town recently, so Liu Xing and others "advance" quickly, but there is no gain at all along the way, so Liu Xing's mood is getting more and more disturbed. I hope Yu Lei can find something.

As a result, at this time, Liu Xing saw a flame in the distance, and upon closer inspection, he found that a group of people were lighting torches and driving several bullock carts to this side, and Yu Lei was sitting on the head Talking and laughing with Xia Fei in an ox cart.

  Beside them, there was a young man in Chinese clothes, thinking about life with a depressed face.

At this time, Yu Lei had also seen Liu Xing, so he got out of the car and came over and said, "It's all right, Young Master Ying came here with Xia Fei this time to see the world, and by the way, reward you on behalf of the third prince, but it just happened Some accidents made Hongyun accidentally frightened, so he ran along this road to the bridge; and Gongziying and the others were planning to arrive at Tianshui Town early tomorrow morning, taking advantage of the bright sunshine at that time and not too much Finish the procedure when it's hot."

I see.

  Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's good, I'm still worried that something happened to His Highness Young Master Ying."

Yu Lei also smiled, shook his head and said, "Don't call Young Master Ying your Highness later, because it's not in line with etiquette. A Peng, you just need to call him Young Master, and it's just on the table. Sometimes you need to call him this way, and in private you can call him Aying or Xiaoying like me; after all, you also know that the third prince is also from an ordinary background, so he has never cared much about false titles. For example, I am in private now. Everyone below calls the third prince the third uncle, so the children of the third prince are also like this."

  Liu Xing nodded, and asked earnestly: "I understand, then shall we start the process later, or wait until tomorrow?"

"Everyone has already arrived, so how can the process wait until tomorrow? So, Apeng, you should send someone back to clean up an open space now, and then call all the people who can be called over, so that it will be more lively. Complete the process in a stick of incense time."

Yu Lei glanced at the moon in the sky and continued: "By the way, Ah Ying likes to eat barbecue very much, so you can prepare it, Ah Peng. You must know that Ah Ying is the third prince's favorite son now, so in his There are a lot of good things on him; and Ah Ying is also planning to stay in Tianshui Town for a few days, so you have to blackmail him to arrange a tour guide to let him know how a small town came into existence from nothing, because three It is very likely that the prince will test Aying in this aspect when he looks back, which is why the third prince asked Aying to accompany him."

  Liu Xing's eyes lit up, and he already regarded Gongziying not far away as the God of Wealth, because as long as he did it properly, Liu Xing was confident that Gongziying would willingly "dedicate a love" to Tianshui Town.

  Being the most beloved son of the third prince, Liu Xing can be sure that besides Yu Lei and Xia Fei, there should be other masters hidden in the team in front of him.

  So Liu Xing has already made a plan, that is, to arrange for Ding Kun to extract the blood of the monsters on the dragon-slaying sword after returning. Even if the monsters are attracted, these martial arts masters can also rely on these martial arts masters to tide over the difficulties.

  So, Liu Xing called Zhang Jingxu who was next to him, and told him all of Yu Lei's orders.

Then Zhang Jingxu took Ding Kun and Yin En back first, while Liu Xing took other players to **** the convoy, but just when Liu Xing wanted to contact Young Master Ying in advance, Yu Lei stopped Liu Xing .

"The reason why Hongyun was frightened and ran over just now was because Aying thought that his riding skills had passed the test, but he was almost thrown to the ground by Hongyun because of his inexperienced riding skills. I have to go back to Liangcheng to recuperate, so Ah Ying is still depressed at the moment, so you should not go up and disturb him, Ah Peng, let him reflect on himself."

Yu Lei said with a smile: "By the way, Apeng, the third prince is not the kind of person who pays too much attention to etiquette. Of course, on some grand occasions, the third prince still values ​​etiquette more than anyone else, so you will also pay attention to it later, Apeng." Don't give a big salute casually, just give a hand-cup salute at the right time."

Hearing what Yu Lei said, Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, because if he really wanted to give a big gift, it would still be a bit psychologically stressful for Liu Xing, so Liu Xing had already prepared an excuse, that is, as an envoy of God It is not easy to give a big gift.

  But now I just need to salute myself, so there is no problem.

  So half an hour later, Liu Xing received the reward from the third prince in the open space where the bonfire party was held before.

In addition to the expected gold, silver and jewelry, the third prince actually sent over a hundred sets of armor and matching weapons, including a longbow and a pot of twenty arrows, and the quality of these weapons and equipment was very high. Not bad, it seems that the third prince was selected from his own guard.

  The most important thing is that the Third Prince gave Liu Xing a new title—Captain of Breaking Thieves.

  Obviously, the "Po Zei" among the Po Zei Xiaowei was randomly appointed by the third prince. The point is that the official position of Xiao Lieutenant is second only to the general, and generally speaking, he can command a thousand soldiers.

   Although these thousand soldiers may not sound like many, but on an ancient battlefield where the communication condition is completely dependent on roar, it is already very good to be able to directly command a thousand soldiers.

Therefore, the title of the Captain of the Thief is equivalent to the third prince's recognition that Liu Xing can have military power and can organize a private army of about a thousand people, and Liu Xing can get this part as long as he makes a report later. Military pay and food.

Of course, the hundred sets of weapons and equipment sent by the third prince are actually reminding Liu Xing in a disguised form that unless it is necessary, the number of private soldiers must be kept at around one hundred. It's not very polite; and the third prince has already sent the most expensive weapons and equipment, if Liu Xing goes to apply for military pay and food, it will be a bit thick-skinned.

  In addition to these things, the reward from the third prince also included a land deed. The content on this land deed was a mansion located on the outskirts of Liangcheng, and Liu Xing could live there in the future if he needed to go there.

  In general, Liu Xing is very satisfied with these rewards from the third prince, especially the title of Captain of the Thief, so that Liu Xing can do certain things with confidence, after all, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well.

   And during this brief contact, Liu Xing found that Gongzi Ying seemed to be quite a good person, and he belonged to the classic supporting actor in martial arts novels—the good-natured son-in-law.

  In short, it is indeed worth making friends.

  So after the process was over, Liu Xing invited Young Master Ying to participate in the bonfire party, and Young Master Ying naturally agreed with a happy face.

At this time, Liu Xing noticed that besides a few guards on the bright side, there was also a coachman and two handymen in charge of transporting. Keep it in a suitable range, and don't look away from Young Master Eagle for more than three seconds.

   It seems that they are the dark guards beside Young Master Ying.

  As for the other NPCs who were watching the excitement at the side at this time, they have also been consciously separated by the players arranged by Zhang Jingxu to ensure that there will be no hot-headed guys among these people who want to come up and make gestures with Young Master Ying.

   All in all, the host and guest had a great time.

  Responsible for the task of entertaining Young Master Ying, Liu Xing naturally gave it to Yin En, who is the most eloquent in his party, and Yin En is going to get married in the next two days, so he can take advantage of the situation to get some benefits from Young Master Ying.

  As for the residence of Gong Ziying and others, there is no need to bother Liu Xing to arrange it, because they brought a tent for marching, and the accommodation conditions are better than Liu Xing.

  So Liu Xing returned to his room after arranging a team of players to help keep watch. Of course, Zhang Jingxu and the other three also walked in.

"Yin En, you have to help us treat Young Master Ying well, because he is the third prince's favorite youngest son, so if he can speak well of us in front of the third prince, then we can get a lot of money in the future." and I think this son Ying has the feeling of being the second hero in martial arts novels. He is an NPC worth contacting. He should be able to trigger some tasks related to him later, so we have to establish a good relationship with him now. It is." Liu Xing said seriously.

   "No problem, I still count on Young Master Ying to give me gold coins."

Yin En gave a hatch and said: "I also think that Young Master Yingren is quite good, but he may have been living beside the third prince, so he seems to be lacking in some aspects, but now he happens to be a middle-aged man. At the age of the second illness, I can see that he really wants to fight the sword and fight for righteousness; it turns out that this year is his first real travel trip, because before this, Young Master Ying has only left Liangcheng a few times , and every time I follow my father and brothers and sisters to meet the new Dragon Emperor, there is no time for free activities on the way."

   "Then Yin En, you have to play with Young Master Ying these few days, but you still have to take a rest, because there are many hidden guards around Young Master Ying." Zhang Jingxu reminded.

  Liu Xing nodded, and brought up a new topic, "By the way, what do you think of the Third Prince giving us the title of Captain of the Thief-Breaking Captain, and also sent us a hundred sets of weapons and equipment?"

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Ding Kun said directly: "I just checked the weapons and equipment, and found that they are of very good quality, and there is a special pattern printed on them, so this should not be a standard weapon or equipment. Therefore, if there is no accident, these weapons and equipment are all forged by the Third Prince, and they are generally only distributed to his private soldiers, which means that the Third Prince regards us as his own."

"Of course, in fact, the title of the captain of the thief is more practical than these weapons and equipment, because we really lack an official title now, so that we can develop Tianshui Town in a legitimate way, otherwise the things we are doing now can be justified. It is described as rebellious and unruly, so Liu Xing, you can use these 100 sets of weapons and equipment to arm a private soldier, but the number should not be limited to a mere 100 people, because the number of captains in theory is one About a thousand people."

   "But we are short of people now, so let's arm a centurion for now."

Zhang Jingxu said: "However, we can now use the banner of the captain of the broken bandit to attract nearby NPCs to join us. After all, in this coming troubled world, the banner of a general is still very attractive; and I think Liu Xing, you should also prepare a few outfits, such as the armor that the captain of the thief should wear, and the robe of the Canglong God Envoy of the Eastern Palace, so that it can appear more formal."

  Hearing what Zhang Jingxu said, Liu Xing looked at his current attire, and it really didn't match his current name.

"I remember that my family prepared a set of robes worn by Taoist priests for a theater troupe last year. As a result, the troupe had an accident when it was on its way to perform, so the troupe disappeared immediately, and the robes also disappeared. It can only be used to press the bottom of the box, after all, the Taoist robes used for singing are still more gorgeous than the serious Taoist robes, but this is just right for Liu Xing to wear..."

   Speaking of this, Yin En's words stopped abruptly, and his expression looked a little strange.

   "Yin En, what's the matter with you? Could it be that you were haunted by something?" Zhang Jingxu asked with a smile.

At this time, Yin En also came back to his senses, and said solemnly: "I just realized that the taoist robe seems to be somewhat similar to the long robe worn by the king in yellow, because this taoist robe has a hood! It is obviously very inconsistent with the shape; and I recalled carefully just now, the reason why the theater troupe ordered such a strange Taoist robe is because they plan to perform a new play recently, and one of the Taoist priests will Shows up with a hood on and doesn't show his true colors until the end!"

   "I'm going? Is this the martial arts version of "The King in Yellow Clothes"? If this is the case, then the King in Yellow Clothes should really wear Taoist robes!" Liu Xing said seriously.

"And if I remember correctly, this play was written by a regular customer of that theater troupe, so on the day the troupe had an accident, they rushed to perform the first version of the play for this regular customer to see if there was anything wrong with it." need to be amended.”
