"This information is practically useless." Zhou Wen said angrily as he put down the piece of paper. The information in his hands was all about the rich people that the Black Cloud Stronghold had robbed and the caravan that they had robbed. Which village did he rob? Most likely, the number of people was the same as the number of people. The two of them knew all about it. The only one that mentioned the Black Cloud Stronghold was that the Black Cloud Stronghold was located in the depths of the Black Cloud Mountain Range. In the Black Cloud Stronghold, there were many sentries and guards. Then, he said that the village chief liked to eat fish, cultivate, and use silver. What was this? Are you interested? Can you not be so deceitful? Zhou Wen looked up at the sky and sighed. This was an injustice, a real injustice! Five thousand taels of silver!
Qi Xing was also helpless towards this. He never expected to spend five thousand silver taels just to buy news that was not news. It would be great if he could keep it for himself, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, the five thousand taels of silver was not his. It was better to have news than nothing. At the very least, he knew that there were a lot of hidden guards in the stronghold.
"We'll head to Black Cloud Mountain Camp tomorrow." Qi Xing interrupted Zhou Wen's complaints.
After Zhou Wen left, Qi Xing took out the Cloud Piercing Sword Technique. Qi Xing had personally witnessed the power of this technique. If it fell into his hands, he would definitely be able to unleash even more power! Looking around, Qi Xing saw all the cultivation techniques in his mind. He extended his hand and placed it on top of the candle flame. This was Qi Xing's habit. If he memorized a cultivation method, then he would destroy it! Never on your person. Sparks began to spread on the paper bit by bit. All of a sudden, with a jolt of his heart, his inner force surged. The cultivation technique was covered with a layer of white frost, and the sparks instantly vanished. Qi Xing looked at the manual and found that it was still intact. He put the manual into his pocket and started to form the key points of the Cloud Piercing Sword Technique in his mind.
It was a silent night. The next day, Qi Xing came out of his room to find Zhou Wen already waiting for him. He casually took out an item and threw it at Zhou Wen, then turned around and left. The two of them actually didn't go and buy two horses yesterday; they were truly stupid. Zhou Wenqi was extremely puzzled and easily caught the flying object in his hand. As he focused his mind to look at it, he was slightly startled. The expression on his face was one of surprise.
"At this time, Qi Xing had already walked far away. He didn't stop his footsteps and headed straight for the horse market." Where are we going? " Zhou Wen said excitedly.
"Ma City." Qi Xing replied.
After walking through two streets, they arrived at the horse market. The first thing they saw was a noisy crowd. Although it was called a horse market, it was actually just three large public horse farms! The horse farm was very large. According to the rough estimate, it covered an area of several miles. The majority of the people in the Ma City were warriors, and the spirited horses snorted loudly.
"Sir, would you like to buy a horse?" A lean man suddenly appeared in front of the two of them and asked with a smile.
Qi Xing nodded, "Are there any better horses? Take the two of us to take a look."
"Sure, please come this way." The man was overjoyed. He then led the two of them to a stables. Gentlemen, please look, the horses here are the best horses in my caravan. Look at this horse. It is spirited, tall and strong. It has a loud breathing, and its four hooves are ferocious. It is definitely a good horse. " The man continued to introduce himself for a long time. In the end, when he saw that the two of them lacked interest, he knew that the two of them were not interested in these things.
"Zhou Wen, go up and give it a try." Qi Xing suddenly said to Zhou Wen.
These inexplicable words caused Zhou Wen to be stunned. He instantly understood the meaning of Qi Xing's words and was immediately in high spirits. "Man, let me try this horse." At the same time, he turned around and revealed a mocking smile. He knew that Qi Xing couldn't ride a horse! But now he wanted to buy a horse, and he was delighted with the thought.
Qi Xing turned a deaf ear to Zhou Wen's smile as he walked around the stable. He didn't understand horses at all. In the end, without any other choice, he called the waiter and asked him to roughly introduce the horses to everyone. After some thought, Qi Xing chose a very strong horse.
The next step was to test the horse, but Qi Xing couldn't ride a horse. He braced himself and asked the assistant about the main points of the horse. The assistant was also a kind-hearted person, so he explained the main points of the horse riding to Qi Xing. Qi Xing quickly took note of it and led the horse to a wide open area. He jumped up and landed on the horse's back. Whip, ride!
All of a sudden, Qi Xing only felt like the wind was blowing fast, and the wind was howling beside his ears. Qi Xing remained expressionless as he jumped up from the back of the horse and tightly held onto the rope to prevent himself from falling. Without any hesitation, he whipped his horse and charged forward. In an instant, he was gone. Seeing all this, the assistant was amazed.
"Man, where's that boy who came with me?" Zhou Wen asked as he sat on his horse.
"Let's try it out." The assistant pointed at the distant Qi Xing to reply.
When Zhou Wen saw this, he was immediately astonished. He quickly rode his horse towards the direction of Qi Xing. Soon, Zhou Wen arrived at the side of Qi Xing. "Only to see Qi Xing riding his horse at full gallop while riding on his own, looking relaxed and at ease." You, didn't you say you couldn't ride a horse? " Zhou Wen said in disbelief.
"I just learned it." Qi Xing spat out two words. With a wave of his horsewhip, the horse he was riding became even more lively.
"Can you not be so heaven-defying? Once you learn it, you'll be able to learn it easily. You won't lose much in terms of riding skills even compared to me." Zhou Wen cried out in alarm, venting out the unhappiness in his heart. Actually, Zhou Wen's riding skill was only average. Where would he get a horse to ride? He had only ridden twice when he was a guard. Zhou Wen suddenly realized that walking with Qi Xing was simply too much of a pain. None of them could suppress him, and he felt that no matter what, he was still a genius.
"Man, how much is this horse?" Qi Xing asked.
"Fifty silver." the man said. Qi Xing immediately paid the fifty silver taels and led the horse away. The horses had already been hacked into their hooves and saddled, so they could be pulled away. Zhou Wen was stunned for a moment as he watched Qi Xing leave. But in just an instant, he realized why he had to pay him. What happened in the morning was already very important to him. He paid the money straightforwardly and left with Qi Xing. In this horse market, fifty taels was fair and proper. These so-called good horses were just the good horses among ordinary horses. Everyone understood that a true good horse could not be bought with several hundred taels of silver. As for the Thousand Li Divine Horse, it wasn't something that could be bought with money. It was also something that was rarely seen.
Ride! Ride! The clip-clop of the horses' hooves sounded fast and rhythmic. Two figures were riding fast horses on the mountain road. It was Qi Xing and Zhou Wen. The two of them flew out from Shuiyun City. At this moment, they had already been running for close to twenty miles. The horses that the two of them were riding on were indeed not bad. At this moment, they did not show any signs of fatigue. However, there was still a long way to go before they reached the Black Cloud Mountain Range. When noon came, the two of them stopped to rest for a while before setting off again.
Under the evening sky, Qi Xing and Zhou Wen entered the Black Cloud Mountain Range. In a remote area, they tied their horses to a tree and slowly dived deeper into the forest. Now that they were very close to the Black Cloud Mountain village's scouting area, the two of them had no choice but to be careful. He was very careful along the way, afraid of alerting the hidden sentry in the village. The night quickly darkened, and the full moon hung high in the sky. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps rang out. The two of them were startled and hurriedly hid in the grass.
At this moment, he saw two warriors dressed like bandits carrying a basket. They were still talking as they hurried down the mountain.
