At the end of the day, although the sun was still fierce, everything was ready.

Meng Zhao, followed by Lu Le, who was holding an umbrella to protect himself from the sun, walked out of the side door of Xiyuan and stood outside the half-foot-high vermilion threshold.

After looking at the configuration of the team, my eyes were very satisfied.

Thirty bodyguards, Qing Yishui's strong and brave men, although they may be tall or short, their bodies may be fat or thin.

But the martial aura that permeates from the inside out is the same.

Moreover, many people have a fierce and sharp look in their eyes, which is the murderous aura that Meng Zhao has become familiar with over the past year.

According to what Lu Le said, although most of them are only at the level of breathing and condensing energy, they are only in the entry-level stage.

But after all, I have also developed internal strength, which is added to my fists, feet, and swords when I strike. It is completely different from those rough guys who rely purely on brute force and physical fitness. I have truly entered the door of martial arts.

In addition, he has experienced many fights and battles, and is rich in experience. He is a bit more powerful than ordinary practitioners.

The mounts beside these warriors are also outstanding, with double stirrups and black horses with saddles.

These tall horses are all famous pottery horses that are abundant in Liangzhou, Yongbei region.

Their coats are black and shiny, their appearance is impressive, and they have sufficient physical strength. They are best at running on the road, and are the standard combat mounts for border cavalry.

If there is a person with excellent riding skills, riding this famous Tao pony can be enough to borrow the power of the horse and increase the power of the shot by 30%.

As for such a cherished horse, although the purchase itself costs a lot of money, the maintenance cost is an astronomical sum.

It can be said that it cannot be raised except in a luxurious home.

The entourage who guarded Meng Zhao this time all rode this famous Tao horse, which indirectly showed that the Meng family was really rich.

However, these thirty famous pottery horses seemed mediocre when compared with the two divine horses pulling the cart.

The two divine horses pulling the cart were nearly ten feet tall, with well-developed muscles. Their eyes were glowing with red blood, and their sinister aura made the famous Tao horses nearby not dare to approach if they encountered natural enemies.

What's even more terrifying is that they are not covered with long and smooth hair, but with shiny black scales that look like metal.

It is fine and seamless, and the lips and teeth are occasionally exposed, showing that the teeth are as sharp as a saw, extremely fierce.

Although the body is similar to a horse, it is far stronger than the ordinary black-scaled horse.

This black-scaled horse has a trace of ferocious beast blood in its body. It is extremely powerful and has a violent temper. It does not eat grass every day and must be fed with flesh and blood to maintain its physical strength. Once it is subdued, it is also an excellent mount far superior to ordinary horses.

In terms of strength, few of these guards could compare to these two black-scaled horses.

While he was secretly observing, two distinctive and imposing men walked out from among the guards.

One man was tall and burly, wearing half-sleeved black clothes. His exposed muscles were as tough as a rock and he was very strong.

There is a long scar on his face from the center of his eyebrows to his left cheek, like a climbing centipede. When people see it, all their attention is attracted by the scar, but they subconsciously ignore his specific appearance.

This should be Scar. No one knows his real name. They only know that he took refuge under the Meng family because he was being hunted. After many years, he has gradually become accustomed to life in the Meng family.

The other person has a more ordinary figure and mediocre appearance. His whole body is wrapped in a blue robe, making him inconspicuous in the crowd.

However, when he walked out from the crowd, there was a deep and thick aura rushing towards his face, which made him stand out from the crowd.

Meng Zhao especially noticed that this man's hands were thicker than ordinary people, covered with calluses, and the finger bones were protruding.

When walking, he waves his arms, and the exposed backs of his palms reveal cyan veins like earthworms, full of heart-stopping explosive power.

Scar and Wang Tao, the founder, are both acquired masters, that is, warriors who have developed their internal strength to the level of meridians. In terms of cultivation, they are still above Meng Zhao.

However, when facing Meng Zhao, they still had to suppress their dignity as warriors, half-kneeling, saluting, and greeting him respectfully.

Because in a sense, everything about them belongs to the Meng family, including their proud martial arts.

"Subordinate Scar (Wang Tao), pays homage to the young master."

This was not the first time that these two people met Meng Zhao, because they were among the experts who escorted Meng Zhao back to his family.

It's just that unlike his previous behavior of being dull and withdrawn, this time Meng Zhao left a good impression on the two of them, and he also had more expectations for his future second wife.

Meng Zhao's pretty face was full of smiles. He slowly fiddled with the jade beads with his right hand and stretched his left hand forward in a virtual support position.

"Excuse me, Meng is going to Zhuangzi outside the city this time. The safety on the road depends on you two."

Even if he is the boss of the company, these two are still considered high-end talents, and they still need to have the necessary respect.

The two took advantage of the situation, exchanged greetings, and told Meng Zhao about the route they would take after leaving the city, the approximate journey time, the dangers they might encounter along the way, the formation allocation, etc.

It sounds like just two words: professional.

Anyway, they should be careful and use their various strengths and advantages at the same time.

There is only one ultimate goal, to strengthen protection and reduce risks.

Whether it is a possible enemy in the dark or a ferocious beast that has a very low probability but may appear, all are taken into consideration.

Meng Zhao had no objection to this and readily agreed, giving the two of them the greatest trust and respect.

Then board a gorgeous carriage drawn by two black horses.

Lu Le, holding a long black whip covered with spikes, jumped into the front room of the carriage and temporarily acted as a groom, helping Meng Zhao drive.

The main reason is that these two black-scaled horses are so fierce that ordinary coachmen cannot control them, so he can only do the work for them.

Under the orders of Scar and Wang Tao, these Meng Mansion guards jumped onto their horses, drove the Tao Liang horses, divided them into several groups, guarded the carriages in the middle, and advanced slowly towards one side of the long street.

The Xiyuan side entrance of Meng Mansion is located in a remote and quiet place. Most of the people nearby are rich families. There were not many pedestrians at first.

When we got out of the long street and reached the main street, it became bustling and noisy.

The main street is spacious, straight, clean and tidy, and can accommodate three carriages walking side by side.

There are numerous terraces and pavilions on both sides, high-rise buildings and houses. Most of the buildings are of great scale and are bright everywhere.

Various vendors and stalls are also like two long queues.

There are many pedestrians on the street, coming and going, rubbing shoulders, rich and poor, old and young, men and women, mixed together, full of vitality, and the world's people's livelihood, forming a picture of all living beings.

As the particularly eye-catching carriages and fine cavalry, Meng Zhao and his party also received countless looks and attention, most of which were fearful, and a few of them were envious and jealous.

When the fine knights and carriages approached, everyone tried to avoid them and tried to hide to both sides.

This is the case for ordinary people, the same is true for the rich man with the servant at his side, and the same is true for the Jianghu people with murderous weapons in their hands.

Inside the carriage, Meng Zhao could vaguely hear some people's discussions thanks to his extraordinary hearing.

Most of the content was about admiring the prowess of the Meng family's warriors and the tyranny of their power. There were also occasional comments about the Meng family's arrogance in the streets, which were almost quickly drowned in all kinds of admiration.

Occasionally, there will be a carriage approaching with exquisite decoration, and its owner is either rich or noble.

However, after learning that a nobleman of the Meng family was on the other side, he actually got out of the carriage at a distance and parked the carriage aside to let Meng Zhao's team pass first.

This further exaggerates the strength and domineering nature of the Meng family.

After lowering the curtains on the car window, Meng Zhaoming's eyes were filled with emotion.
