Real Cthulhu Running Game

When Liu Xing led a group of players across the stone arch bridge, the sound of dice falling to the ground could be heard one after another. This also made Liu Xing start to get nervous. After all, if Young Master Ying was captured by the people from Black Wolf Village, then he would not It's okay if something happens, but if something happens, the debt will more or less be borne by him, and it will be difficult for the third prince to explain it to him.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing called on everyone to speed up their pace and open their eyes to see clearly the surrounding plants and trees. Don't ignore Young Master Ying.

Fortunately, there is only one road leading to Tianshui Town recently, so Liu Xing and others are "advancing" very quickly. However, there is no gain at all along the way, so Liu Xing's mood becomes more and more uneasy. I hope Yu Lei can find something.

As a result, at this time, Liu Xing saw a fire in the distance. Upon closer inspection, he found that a group of people were holding torches and driving several ox carts towards this side, and Yu Lei was sitting at the head. Chatting and laughing with Xia Fei on a bullock cart.

Next to them, there was a young man in rich clothes, who was thinking about life with a depressed look on his 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 okay. Young Master Ying is coming with Xia Fei to see the world, and by the way, he will reward you on behalf of the third prince. What happened just now Hongyun was accidentally frightened by some accidents and ran along this road to the bridge; Gongziying and the others were originally planning to arrive at Tianshui Town early tomorrow morning, taking advantage of the bright sunshine at that time and not being too busy. Complete the procedure while 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 is a bit inconsistent with etiquette. A Peng, you just need to call him Young Master, and this is only on the table." Sometimes you need to call him this way. In private, you can call him Aying or Xiaoying like me. After all, you also know that the third prince is of ordinary origin, so he has never cared much about false titles. For example, I am now in private Everyone below calls the Third Prince Third Uncle, so the Third Prince’s children also do the same.”

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

"Everyone has already arrived, so how can the process wait until tomorrow? So A Peng, please send people back to clear out an open space now, and then call all the people who can be called over. This will make it more lively. We will try to Complete the process in one stick of incense.”

Yu Lei glanced at the moon in the sky and continued: "By the way, A Ying likes to eat barbecue, so A Peng, you can also prepare some. You must know that A Ying is the third prince's favorite son now, so in his He has a lot of good things with him; and Ah Ying is also going to stay in Tianshui Town for a few days, so Ah Peng, you have to arrange a tour guide for him to let him know how a small town comes from scratch, because Three The prince will most likely test A Ying in this area when he comes back, which is why the third prince asked A Ying to accompany him."

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

And as the third prince's favorite heir, Liu Xing could be sure that besides Yu Lei and Xia Fei, there should be other masters hidden in the convoy in front of him.

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

Ever since, Liu Xing called Zhang Jingxu next to him and told him all Yu Lei's instructions.

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

"The reason why Hongyun was so frightened that he ran over just now was because Aying thought that his riding skills had passed the test. As a result, he was almost thrown to the ground by Hongyun because of his poor riding skills. If Lao Xia hadn't taken action in time, Aying would have died. He has to go back to Liangcheng to recuperate, so Aying is still depressed at the moment, Apeng, please don’t go up to disturb him and let him reflect on it."

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, in some grand occasions, the third prince still values ​​etiquette more than anyone else, so later, Apeng, you can also Don’t give a big salute casually, just give a hand-over-hand salute when the time is right.”

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 of psychological pressure for Liu Xing, so Liu Xing had already prepared an excuse, that is, as a divine envoy Don't give a big gift easily.

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 had been held.

In addition to the expected various gold and silver jewelry, the third prince also sent hundreds of sets of armor and matching weapons, including a long bow and a pot of twenty arrows, and the quality of these weapons and equipment was excellent. Not bad, it seems that the third prince came out of his own bodyguard.

The most important thing is that the third prince also gave Liu Xing a new title - Lieutenant of the Breaking Thieves School.

Obviously, the "Po Thief" among the Lieutenants of Breaking Thieves was awarded casually by the third prince. The important point is that the official position of Lieutenant is second only to that of a general and can generally command a thousand soldiers.

Even though these one thousand soldiers don't sound like much, on an ancient battlefield where communication relies entirely on shouting, being able to directly command a thousand soldiers is already very good. If there are more, it will be impossible to command.

Therefore, the title of Captain of the Thieves School 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. Moreover, Liu Xing can receive this part as long as he reports to it. Military pay and food.

Of course, the hundred sets of weapons and equipment sent by the third prince are actually a disguised reminder to Liu Xing that unless it is absolutely necessary, he must keep the number of private soldiers at about a hundred. Any more will be a bit too much. It's not too polite; and the third prince has already sent the most expensive weapons and equipment. It would be a bit shameless for Liu Xing to apply for military pay and food.

In addition to these things, the reward sent by the third prince also included a land deed. The content of this land deed was a large house located on the outskirts of Liangcheng. Liu Xing could live there if he had something to go to in the future.

Overall, Liu Xing was very satisfied with these rewards from the third prince, especially the title of Captain of the Bandit Breaking School, which allowed Liu Xing to do certain things with confidence and boldness.

And in this brief contact, Liu Xing discovered that Gongzi Ying seemed to be a pretty good person, one of those classic supporting actors in martial arts novels - Gongzi Ge with a good personality.

All in all, it is indeed worth making friends with.

So after the process was completed, Liu Xing invited Gongziying to attend the bonfire party, and Gongziying naturally agreed with a happy face.

At this time, Liu Xing noticed that in addition to a few apparent guards, there was also a coachman and two laborers responsible for transportation. Although they had been busy with their own affairs, the distance between them and Young Master Ying was always close. Maintained within a suitable range, and his eyes did not leave Young Master Ying for more than three seconds.

It seems that they are the secret guards around Young Master Ying.

As for the other NPCs who were watching the excitement at this time, they had been consciously separated by the players arranged by Zhang Jingxu to ensure that there would not be any hot-headed guys among these people who wanted to come up to Master Ying to quarrel.

All in all, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

Liu Xing naturally handed over the task of entertaining Young Master Ying to Yin En, the most talkative among his group. Moreover, Yin En was getting married in the next two days, so he could take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits from Young Master Ying.

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

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

"Yin En, you have to help us entertain Young Master Ying well, because he is the third prince's favorite son, so if he can say a few nice words about us in front of the third prince, then we can get a lot more in the future. The benefits; and I think this young master Ying has the feeling of being the second male lead in martial arts novels. He is an NPC worth contacting. He should be able to trigger some tasks related to him later, so we need to have a good relationship with him now. Yes." Liu Xing said seriously.

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

Yin En slapped him and said: "I also think Young Master Yingren is quite good, but he may have been living next to the third prince, so he seems to be lacking in some aspects, but now he happens to be the middle prince. At Er Bing's age, I can see that he really wants to fight in the world and do justice; but this year is his first real trip, because before this, Gong Ziying 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 at all on the way."

"Then Yin En, you have to have some fun with Young Master Ying these days, but you still have to take a break because there are quite a few secret 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 Bandit Breaking School now, and also sending us a hundred sets of weapons and equipment?"

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Ding Kun said directly: "I just checked those weapons and equipment and found that they are of very good quality and have a special pattern printed on them, so these should not be standard weapons and equipment. ! So if nothing else, these weapons and equipment were forged by the third prince and are usually only distributed to his private soldiers. This means that the third prince regards us as his own."

"Of course, in fact, the title of Lieutenant of Breaking Thieves is more practical than these weapons and equipment, because we really lack an official title now to allow us to legitimately develop Tianshui Town, otherwise the things we are doing now will be enough It can be described as treason and evil intentions; so Liu Xing, you can use these 100 sets of weapons and equipment to arm a private army, but the number should not be limited to a mere 100, because in theory, the number of soldiers led by a school lieutenant is one. About a thousand people.”

"But we are short of people now, so let's arm a hundred-man team for the time being."

Zhang Jingxu said: "But we can now use the banner of the thief-breaking captain to attract nearby NPCs to join us. After all, in this upcoming troubled world, the banner of a military commander is still very attractive; and I think Liu Xing, you should also prepare some outfits, such as the armor that the captain of the bandits should wear, and the robe of the Canglong Divine Envoy of the East Palace, so that you can look more formal."

Hearing what Zhang Jingxu said, Liu Xing looked at his current dress, and it was indeed not in line with his current name.

"I remember that my family prepared a set of robes worn by Taoists for a theater troupe last year. As a result, the theater troupe had an accident while rushing to perform, so the theater troupe disappeared immediately, and the robes were just like that. It can only be used to keep 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 you, Liu Xing, to wear..."

At this point, Yin En's words suddenly stopped, and his expression looked a little strange.

"Yin En, what's wrong with you? Are you possessed by something?" Zhang Jingxu asked with a smile.

At this time, Yin En also came back to his senses, and said with some solemnity: "I just now discovered that the Taoist robe seems to be somewhat similar to the robe worn by the King in Yellow, because this Taoist robe actually has a hood! This It is obviously very out of shape; and I just recalled carefully that the reason why the theater troupe customized such a strange Taoist robe was because they were planning to perform a new play recently, and one of the Taoist priests would He appears wearing a hood, and his true face is not revealed until the end!”

"I'll go? Is this the martial arts version of "The King in Yellow"? If that's the case, then the King in Yellow should indeed wear a Taoist robe!" Liu Xing said seriously.

"And if I remember correctly, this play was written by a regular patron of that theater troupe, so the day the theater troupe had the accident, I rushed to perform the first version of the play for this regular patron to see if there was anything wrong with it. Something needs to be modified.”
