C274 "[274]" Silver Tracer Mystery (1)

In the depths of the forest, there was a group of around a hundred people. All of them were dressed in the same way, from head to toe, they were all wrapped in black armor.

They all held a single spear in their hands and a curved saber at their waists. As they rode, no one spoke or complained about anything on their journey. Even their breathing was uniform, as if they were one and the same person. It could be seen that the elite of this unit was at a terrifying level. Of course, one could tell how astonishing the combat strength of this unit was from this.

At the back of the line, there were over twenty large boxes, but what was strange was that these boxes were filled with concealed weapons on both sides, like an animal with its fur blown up. However, the box was indeed very heavy, as if it was filled with something very heavy.

There was a person in the group who was probably only eleven or twelve years old, but his eyes would occasionally shoot out rays of light, and his every move and gesture would be free and unrestrained, as if he was pointing out a great deal. From his complacent expression, it could be seen that he was enjoying everything that happened in front of him. It was impossible to tell that he was an ignorant child at all. Instead, he looked more like an old monster that had returned to its youth, or perhaps an old monster that had borrowed the corpse of another person to return the soul to him.

This ten-year old child seemed to stand out in this organized march, but his commanding appearance made these elite soldiers somewhat disgusted. From the way they intentionally kept their distance from this child, it could be seen how much they didn't want to march together with this child.

This child was called Xiahou Junyu, and was the eldest son and grandson of the Xiahou Family, as well as the future heir to the Xiahou Family. Xiahou Family had lived in the capital for a long time. Although their families did not spread throughout the continent like the five great families, they still had a certain amount of authority in the hall of the Honglong Empire. At the same time, no one did not know that the Xiahou Family was actually a loyal lackey of the Ninth Prince, and had always coveted the positions of the five great families, coveting them all the time. Furthermore, they had once had financial conflicts with the Situ Family and the Murong Family, so the two of them were at odds with each other, and could be said to be at odds with each other.

The elite troops surrounding him were the five men assigned to him by the supervisor. The five branches were separated into two parts, one of them was a team formed by strong warriors, the other was a small team, they were experts in individual combat, being used in battles between martial artists, they were called the 'White Dragon Guards' in the Surveillance Council. Moreover, it was a secret army with unknown numbers and unknown fighting strength. Although the various countries all knew about the existence of this army, they could not find any related information or any useful information, and the only thing they knew about was the name 'Black Dragon Guard'.

At this moment, this army that was covered in black armor was the Black Dragon Guard from five different places. As for the child called Xiahou Junyu, he was admiring this troop proudly, as if this troop was already in his possession.

At the end of the group, there were two horses galloping side by side. One of them was also dressed in black armor, but he carried a huge machete on his back. The person beside him could be considered to be familiar with him, it was the person in charge of tracking the mysterious power, Zhao Yiyang. The two of them whispered.

"I say, Old Zhao, what do you think this is about? Have this little b * stard lead us. I didn't see him do anything along the way, but his power is getting stronger and stronger." The black armored man complained in a low voice.

This person was called Di Yutang, although he had a very refined name, and even had the smell of books, but he had a fiery temper. Just by looking at the large machete behind him, one could tell that although this blade was at least fifty kilograms in weight, in his hands, it was as light as a feather.

"That's enough, brother. You are the commander of the fifth branch Black Dragon Guard and have so many brothers under your command. If that son of a bitch were to poke into the fifth branch chief, you brat, you won't be able to take the consequences." Zhao Yiyang comforted his in a low voice.

"Hmph, would I be afraid of him? "I was able to do what I did today in exchange for battle merits and a body full of wounds. I don't believe that he has the ability to remove me from the job with a single sentence." Di Yutang's big and casual personality, he did not take it into consideration at all, and his tone was filled with even more anger, as he used a questioning tone to ask Zhao Yiyang.

"Brother, don't say that this brother didn't remind you that this person's identity is a candidate, but this time we are moving out. Firstly, we are here to settle the matter of the huge sum of money for the Surveillance Council, and secondly, we are here to conduct the examination for the candidate. I also heard that there will be a mysterious assessment this time, but I don't know his exact identity. Zhao Yiyang lowered his voice even more, and using a voice that was barely audible, he spoke to Di Yutang. Just by looking at how he spoke, one could tell how confidential the matter was.

"How did you know about such a confidential matter?" Di Yutang was not the 250 people, if not he could have become the commander of the Black Dragon Guard s. He looked at Zhao Yiyang for a good while, and then asked.

Zhao Yiyang looked at Di Yutang, and knew that he did not believe his own words, thus he softly explained: "This matter was originally not a secret matter, and a large portion of people knew of it. The Headmaster did not stop this news from leaking, it's just that you stay in the Black Dragon Guard all day, so you do not have ears to see it. Although this matter can't be considered as a secret, it is still an absolute secret. As for the identity of the candidate, it is also the only secret.

"That is to say that this boy is one of the candidates, and he might become the next head of our Surveillance Council?" Di Yutang thought, then suddenly asked.

"Hmm, there is such a possibility, but there is also no possibility. In recent years, whenever candidates are chosen to be this kid's opponent, they will successively die weird deaths. The dean has long suspected this possibility and is afraid of this person!" Zhao Yiyang nodded, and said in a low voice.

"That means there hasn't been such a thing? You brat, you're making a fuss. If this brat can become the principal, then laozi doesn't need him to leave. Laozi will leave by himself! "Pfft, what the heck is this thing!" Di Yutang waved his hand at Zhao Yiyang in disdain, and said with slight ridicule.

"You ? don't think things are simple. However, the most important thing at the moment is to think of a way to settle the matter of the silver." Zhao Yiyang consoled.

Now, it's practically like a public expense sightseeing trip. He brought twenty broken boxes with nothing inside but rotten stones. He's been wandering around in this broken ravine for a few days already, and up until now, he still doesn't even know where the silver is. Hearing that Zhao Yiyang had brought up this matter, Di Yutang's face was filled with anger, and he started to complain.

"Isn't this what they are looking for? Furthermore, we also found a stinky rag, which means that there really is someone here. Furthermore, that box should be used to store silver, but for some reason, the silver taels inside the box were changed. Zhao Yiyang shook his head, with an unfathomable appearance, he gave a logical analysis and inference.

"You're right, where are all the people from your department?" Tell them to follow your thoughts and investigate! " Di Yutang was a little unwilling to listen, but saying all these was just bullshit, it was completely useless, so he mocked Zhao Yiyang.

"Do you think I don't want to? I've already sent out the people I brought this time. I believe there will be new news soon!" Zhao Yiyang said with a bitter face. Although there was helplessness on his face, at the same time, he held a certain amount of hope and expectation.

"I hope that's the case. I've had enough of this kid to work together with me. I'll return earlier after I finish my business!" Di Yutang obviously did not want to waste words, he rushed forward and ended the conversation. Zhao Yiyang, who was at the side, also spurred his horse to follow along. He did not say anything more, and seemed to have tacitly agreed to Di Yutang's words.

Actually, it was not just the two of them being anxious, Xiahou Junyu was also extremely anxious in his heart. He originally thought that it was an extremely simple mission, but who would have thought that it would be so complicated and hard to complete?

To him, every single assessment represented a step closer to becoming the next head of President of the Council. Moreover, he had heard that this time, the Surveillance Council had found a new mysterious candidate who could compete for the position of Principal.

"Hmph, I hope that you won't be like the other candidates. You will have the chance to participate in the selection and continue on as long as you don't die. I even hope that you can give me a different kind of thrill!" I'll look forward to meeting you then! " Xiahou Junyu thought disdainfully in the depths of his heart.

Of course, those four male captives were killed by him, and he was not interrogating them, but rather venting them out. When he finished venting his anger out, he was somewhat regretful, because he knew that he had obtained some information from interrogating them earlier.

But towards the remaining captive, Shi Haowen of course did not let him go. Although he tried to get something out of her, but on one hand, her words were wobbly, her mouth was incoherent, and her thoughts were jumping around non-stop, completely illogical. On the other hand, the others were all dead, and there was no way to verify the truth of what she said, causing Shi Haowen to be so angry that he could only constantly lie on her body and vent his excess energy.

Of course, in the eyes of the Guard Commander, it was not that he did not want to care, it was that he was too lazy to care, he could not change the outcome no matter what, so why must it be so troublesome?

On the second day, Guard Commander was in charge of leading the group on their journey north. After Shi Haowen gained the authority of the group, he vented all of his anger onto Lu Baihuan's wife, and as long as the group stopped to rest, he would drag Lu Baihuan's wife into the forest, and commit adultery by day and night. He would not care about the guards around them at all, and of course, he would also sincerely invite the guards to join them.

Guard Commander did not participate in the discussion, but he did not stop them from doing so. In his heart, he knew that once this matter was reported to the King, it would be hard to say whether or not they would still have such a day. Even if they died to apologize, it would be very difficult to quell the anger in the Prince's heart. Before they had reached the end of their life, the guards would always enjoy one meal at a time. Living an extra day was one day, and that was the reason why Guard Commander did not stop them.

Without the burden of the silver taels, they traveled much faster. Furthermore, without the harassment from the ambush, they were able to catch up to the group of beauties and sightseers along the way.
