"Not bad, this Blade Set is really light and has enough defense. With this 400-blade set, coupled with my Peerless Wargod and Durability Halo, I can even defeat 3,000 cavalry!”Lin Shu chuckled.
He looked at the spears again and said,"Fuse these into 400 black iron spears for me!”
"Consumed 400 points, system synthesizing!”
Then, a light flashed in front of him, and 400 pitch-black spears were neatly placed in front of him.
These black iron spears were nearly three meters long, and their pitch-black tips carried a cold light. They were standard cavalry spears.
Lin Shu picked up a spear and estimated its weight. It was about 30 pounds, not light nor heavy. It was just enough!
Looking at these 400 sets of spear armor, Lin Shu could not help but laugh out loud. Who in the world could stop him from equipping his personal cavalry?
Two hours later, the 400 cavalrymen returned. When they saw the blade set and the black iron spear on the ground, their eyes lit up. They had never seen such good armor and spears. With Lin Shu's permission, they could not help but pick up the equipment and put it on. The weight was suitable and it was very tough. With this equipment, their chances of survival on the battlefield would greatly increase. The black iron spear was even lighter and the tip was sharp. It seemed that if they stabbed it out, it would only take one hit. It could easily pierce through three or four people.
Lin Shu ordered them to put on their armor but did not let them return to the camp. Instead, he brought all the rations and left twenty people behind. The rest of them set off a day earlier.
As expected, Ma Jingcong did not stay in the army for long. He only stayed in the army for two nights. On the third day, he returned to the palace to report on his mission and rushed to the capital with his men.
Lin Shu naturally accompanied Ma Jingcong back to the capital.
Beijiang was nearly two thousand miles away from Jinling. With their speed of a hundred miles a day, it would take them twenty days to go back. If anything happened on the way, it would be difficult to return to Jinling in a month.
However, with Ma Jingcong's reputation as an imperial envoy, no one would usually come to find trouble with them.
Lin Shu had only brought 20 personal guards with him. However, each of them was wearing a blade set and holding a black iron spear. Although there were only 20 of them, these people were all veterans who had fought alongside Lin Shu on the battlefield. Each of them was like a god of death as they guarded Lin Shu's sides. Just their aura alone was more powerful than the hundreds of elite cavalry.
Ma Jingcong looked at this group of soldiers and began to mutter in his heart,""No wonder Your Majesty is so wary of the Red Flame Army. I've never seen such weapons and equipment before. I'm scared out of my wits just by seeing dozens of people standing there. If every one of the Red Flame Army wears such armor, it'll be terrible! It was no wonder that Northern Wei had suffered such a miserable defeat. With this equipment, how could those Northern Wei bastards be a match for the Red Flame Army?”
Ma Jingcong naturally wouldn't say these things out loud. Instead, he got close to Lin Shu along the way and invited Lin Shu to drink and play chess with him. He tried to sound out Lin Shu's intentions, wanting to find out how many pieces of such equipment the Red Flame Army had. However, with Lin Shu's shrewdness, how could he let the old eunuch find out anything? He only said that these armors were obtained by accident and there were only so many of them. Instead, he made Ma Jingcong drunk again and again. She learned a lot about Jinling from him and had a better understanding of the current situation in Jinling.
The old eunuch had a high status in the palace and even knew a lot of secrets. Occasionally, he would say a word or two. Although he stopped in time, it also made Lin Shu understand the maxim that accompanying the king was like accompanying a tiger. She also had a more intuitive understanding of the dangers of entering the capital this time.
Nothing happened on the way. They didn't even meet some bandits. Perhaps because the war had just ended, the bandits were afraid that the Red Flame Army would lose the battlefield, so they went into the mountains to hide in advance.
After five days, although the speed of the journey was not slow, they had only walked more than 400 miles. The main reason was that the further south they went, the more mountains and rivers there were on the road. Aijie would never sleep in the wild. Those who were outside had to stay in various posthouse and were no longer willing to hurry.
On this evening, the group arrived at Shunde. Shunde was located in Shanxi Province and was a large city.
Along the way, everyone was like the wind. Although Chen Pupu wasn't as tired as the soldiers in battle, the journey was still quite tiring. Thus, she stayed in the Courier Station of the Shun De Prefecture.
When the officials of Shunde Prefecture heard that the imperial envoy had arrived, they did not dare to be negligent and brought the officials of the city to pay their respects. Ma Jingcong only said that the journey was tiring and exchanged a few pleasantries with them before letting them go back.
"If these officials are willing to work hard and not make so many false articles, it will be fine. If they spend all their effort to curry favor with the higher-ups on governing the local areas, the world will belong to our Daliang sooner or later.”Ma Jingcong said to Lin Shu.
