Chapter 141 Planned Carefully Before Making A Move

The noon sun was not blazing; it felt like a gentle warm current flowing on one’s body, which made one feel lazy.

A carriage took its time to travel on the main path, but when it was near the city’s gate, rapid gallops were suddenly heard as horses sped in its direction.

Ou Yangming, who accompanied Old Craftsman in the carriage, was awakened by the noise. He quickly looked outside through the window gap. Their journey from the military camp to the prefecture was not of a smaller scale than the one before.

On top of that, due to the long preparation time, Commanding General Fang Yihai from the South Camp had even found an excuse to personally escort his guests. Similarly, Chen Yifan, who claimed to be Ou Yangming’s master and his representative from home, did not show an impression of weakness at all. Not only did he send Liu Zhengye, but he also dispatched three squads.

Although Liu Zhengye was not on par with Fang Yihai, Old Craftsman and Ou Yangming appreciated the kind gesture.

Nonetheless, even with such a solid team, Ou Yangming was extremely sensitive about everything Perhaps it was due to the many accidents that had occurred previously. Despite that, after seeing the people who were on the fine horses ahead, Ou Yangming let his guard down and even smiled.

Old Craftsman asked in confusion, “Young fella, is it someone you know?”

Ou Yangming quickly answered, “Old Man, sit tight, it’s Ni Yinghong who has come.”

“Oh, it’s…” Old Craftsman furrowed his eyebrows a little and looked at Ou Yangming with worry. He hesitated to finish his sentence.

“Old Man, just sit still, I’ll ask them to go slower,” Ou Yangming said smilingly. Old Craftsman scoffed. “You’ve been nagging them to go slower throughout the journey. The journey, that’s supposed to take three days and three nights if the horses galloped fast enough, would end up lasting for almost half a month. Are you trying to make my old body rot?”

It was just like the old man said; Ou Yangming had been repeating two words throughout the journey, which were ‘slow’ and ‘steady’.

They actually took half a month to travel from the military camp to the prefecture, which was the slowest marching speed recorded in history. Nevertheless, Old Craftsman was surprised that neither Fang Yihai nor the normal soldiers complained at all.

In actual fact, Fang Yihai had only remained his composure because Ou Yangming guaranteed that his success rate of attributes attachment was definitely above 30%. Besides, Ou Yangming had also promised to attempt binding layered attributes to the pieces of equipment.

Therefore, Fang Yihai dared not urge Ou Yangming so as to maintain the young fellow’s good mood.

As for the low-level soldiers…

Since the South Camp’s commanding general was present, how could they have the guts to complain? Ou Yangming grinned and got off the carriage. He noticed the gentle figure among the cavalries from a distance away.

“Brother Ni, how have you been!” He greeted with a smile.

Ni Yinghong smiled weirdly and replied to him, “Brother Ou, you’ve returned to the military camp for more than a month, so I thought you no longer want to learn the Suit Skill and appraisal art!”

Ou Yangming laughed out loud, “As long as you’re willing to teach, I’m willing to learn.”

“Okay, my older brother has been waiting at home, please!”

Seeing as things were off, Fang Yihai quickly interrupted, “Ni Yinghong, I’m the one who has invited Master Ou here, so even if you’d like to invite him to your clan, you should go after the Fang family.”

“Oh, is that so?” Ni Yinghong curled her lips into a slight smile and looked like a cunning little fox. She said, “If that’s the case, Brother Ou can go with you while I bring the old man to my clan.”

“No!” Fang Yihai refused without any hesitation. He obviously understood how important Old Craftsman was to Ou Yangming. It would only be strange that the young fellow would stay in the Fang residence if the old man was taken away.

The general cursed, ‘She’s such a clingy, sly fox. How can she take such drastic measures?’

That said, Ni Yinghong suddenly spread out her hands and expressed helplessly, “Okay, Elder Xuehai has actually made preparations to treat Old Man, but since General Fang disallows, I’ll ask him to forget it.”

Ou Yangming’s eyes instantly glowed. “Senior Xuehai is here too!” Fang Yihai’s face twitched. He was resentful. ‘Is a national medical elder that amazing? But it does sound quite amazing…’ “General Fang, since Senior Xuehai is already waiting for Old Man, how about we make a trip there first?” Ou Yangming immediately turned to ask.

Fang Yihai smiled bitterly, but he could not object to it.

However, before he could decide, Ni Yinghong voiced out, “General Fang, there’s actually something I’d like to ask. “Go ahead.” Fang Yihai was somewhat startled.

SO

“Have you invited Brother Ou here for the archer equipment set?” Ni Yinghong questioned seriously.

Fang Yihai pulled a long face and answered with another question, “So what if that’s the case?”

The matter was actually not a secret anymore, but it was the first time someone had spoken about it so openly, thus it made sense for him to be displeased.

Ni Yinghong showed a disdainful smile. “According to what I heard, many people from the Fang family disapprove of it! Hehe, if they don’t trust Brother Ou, why have you invited him here?”

Fang Yihai’s face took on an unpleasant expression, and his eyes looked fierce. In spite of that, unlike the hot-tempered general’s usual behavior, he did not rebuke Ni Yinghong.
