Chapter 789 Black Iron Guards Exchange Gifts
"Who exactly is the Sword Demon?"
This will be a question in everyone's mind, and it will become a topic of conversation among people in Kyoto.
He alone is able to overpower the entire Witch Sect; just how strong is he?
"Black Hawk, escort Miss Meng back to the manor." After the list of extraordinary people was announced, Bai Tiantian gave the earnest instruction.
Black Hawk is a commander of the Black Iron Guards, not only a brilliant commander but also a man of considerable strength. To have him escort a rich young lady back to her mansion is a waste of his talents.
This also shows that Bai Tiantian is trying to make a good impression on Meng Qingge.
Meng Qingge was somewhat flattered and quickly declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, General, but I can return to my residence on my own."
Meng Qingge knew her own limitations very well. As a young lady from a second-rate family, being escorted by the strongest army of an enemy country was bound to attract unwanted attention.
“Miss Meng is destined to be the richest woman in the future, and countless people are secretly eyeing her. This move is perfectly appropriate, and there’s no need to refuse,” Bai Tiantian said firmly, deliberately raising her voice.
Although most people do not believe that Meng Qingge can become the richest person in a month, a few people do believe it.
As a result, Meng Qingge became a walking gold mine, with countless people contacting her for news.
When a person's abilities and financial resources are mismatched, misfortune will befall them.
To avoid such a disaster, Bai Tiantian took precautions.
Not only that, he also took the opportunity to tell everyone that Meng Qingge was his honored guest, and that those nobodies had better not try anything, or they would suffer a terrible fate.
Being escorted by dozens of Black Iron Guards made Meng Qingge feel uneasy. She couldn't simply refuse them, so she awkwardly stayed in the middle of them.
Yun'er was overjoyed, experiencing a sense of security she had never felt before.
"Miss, Miss, if one day you really become the richest person, how wonderful it would be if we could go out with dozens of guards." Yun'er said dreamily, her expression somewhat dazed.
"Then what use are you to me?" Meng Qingge said coldly.
Yun'er immediately woke up from her sweet dream and begged for mercy, "Yun'er has been an orphan since childhood, and Miss is Yun'er's everything. You can't abandon me."
Meng Qingge glared at her irritably and snorted coldly, expressing her dissatisfaction with Yun'er.
This girl is rather vain, and he even frequently tries to match her with that young master from the Wu Kingdom.
If it weren't for their more than ten years of master-servant relationship, Meng Qingge might have truly abandoned her.
Under the escort of the Black Iron Guards, Meng Qingge returned to the mansion unharmed, but the dozens of Black Iron Guards lingered and refused to leave.
"Qingge, where did you go? Why are you so late?" Meng Yuanping asked worriedly.
Since Lin Ping appeared, Meng Qingge rarely comes home late, and they are no longer used to this situation.
"How is this going?"
Upon discovering the existence of the Black Iron Guards, Meng Yuanping was greatly surprised.
What he feared most were the yamen runners, not to mention the Black Iron Guards who were a hundred times more ferocious than the yamen runners.
"Tell me the truth, did you do something illegal?" Meng Yuanping asked anxiously.
“If you all refuse to return, then I, Qingge, will have to apologize.” With that, Meng Qingge turned and left, leaving only a dumbfounded Meng Yuanping and several gatekeepers behind.
Regardless of the Black Iron Guard's purpose, Meng Yuanping felt uneasy just from seeing him standing there.
The doorman was so frightened that he trembled all over and wished he could send them away immediately.
"Gentlemen, please make yourselves at home. I'll take my leave now," Meng Yuanping said respectfully before making his escape. He simply couldn't bear to face the Black Iron Guards' gaze.
"You all stay here and protect Miss Meng's safety day and night," Black Hawk commanded loudly.
"Is this the young lady's bodyguard?" The doormen whispered among themselves, a little flustered.
These guards are of exceptionally high quality and may very well replace them.
That makes sense, given their weak physiques, they really don't deserve Meng Qingge's current achievements.
"Daughter, is this the bodyguard you hired?" Meng Yuanping asked anxiously after hearing Black Hawk's words.
He was very satisfied with the nurses, but he was afraid he couldn't afford to pay them.
"Does Father think that guards can carry swords at will? And swords weighing dozens of kilograms at that?" Meng Qingge asked rhetorically.
She was too tired to explain further.
"That's true."
Upon learning that no money had been spent, Meng Yuanping's mood improved considerably. He pulled Yun'er aside and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Yun'er was, after all, a maidservant; how could she not answer the master's questions?
"They are the Black Iron Guards, here to protect the young lady," Yun'er said truthfully.
"Black Iron Guards? I'm still the Bronze Guards!" Meng Yuanping said angrily, "Who exactly are they?"
Yun'er replied with a pitiful expression, "It's the Black Iron Guard, the Black Iron Guard under the Great General."
"The Great General? Bai Tiantian? Black Iron Guard?" Meng Yuanping finally realized what was happening, sat down on the ground with a thud, and cried his heart out, pounding his chest and stamping his feet, "It's all over, all over! What kind of karma did I create to offend the Great General?"
He was unaware that he had never heard of the Black Iron Guards' reputation, and he didn't immediately recognize them until he heard the title "Great General," at which point he began to associate them with the Black Iron Guards.
Who is Bai Tiantian? She is the highest-ranking military officer in the court, wielding immense power.
The Black Iron Guard exists in the middle, the enemy's number one legion, an invincible war god.
They would come to protect a mere Meng Qingge? Even TV dramas wouldn't dare to film something like that! Only novels would dare to write it.
Therefore, he believed that Meng Qingge had made a huge mistake and offended Bai Tiantian, and was thinking about how to escape.
Meng Qingge was not a stupid woman; she knew Bai Tiantian's intention in doing so. Ostensibly, it was for protection, but in reality, it was for surveillance.
Although this won't cause any losses, after all, Bai Tiantian's goal is to cooperate with the Meng family.
But I always feel a bit uncomfortable psychologically because I have less privacy.
Inside the department store, Lin Ping held a bright lamp in his hands, nodding with satisfaction.
"My lord, I'm back!"
A cheeky voice came from outside the door; it sounded familiar and was undoubtedly Li Mingxuan's.
"You bastard, you still know how to come back?" Lin Ping kicked him in the butt and scolded him angrily.
The journey from Yingtian Prefecture to Shuntian Prefecture is less than two thousand li, and the entire route is along wide official roads. A round trip would take no more than ten days, but Li Mingxuan actually took more than a month.
"Hehe, this is just to be more prepared!" Su Boming nimbly got up from the ground and said with a grin.
"Tell me what you brought?" Lin Ping asked angrily.
Despite his anger, he still believed in the other person's abilities and harbored a sliver of hope.
“One thousand stones of white stone, one thousand stones of sand, and two thousand stones of black stone,” Li Mingxuan said, patting his chest.
The so-called white stones are sodium sulfate, the sand is quartz, and the black stones are coal. These three are exactly the raw materials that Lin Ping urgently needs.
Lin Ping was somewhat satisfied with this quantity.
"Not only that, I've also brought you a whole carload of acquaintances!" Li Mingxuan continued with a sly glint in his eyes.
