Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch.

Chapter 987: I’ll give you a car!
The next day, it was not until noon that the young couple Yun Ye and Xin Yue woke up slowly.

After comforting his newlywed wife who was losing her virginity for the first time, Yun Ye called in the maid Xiaoqiu who was waiting outside the door, and asked Xiaoqiu to take Xin Yue to wash and bathe first, and then go to meet the old lady according to the rules.

Xin Yue also knew this rule. She stayed in Yun Ye's arms for a while before limping away with Xiao Qiu.

Yun Ye put on his clothes and sat on the edge of the bed for a while. It was not until his stomach growled that he came to his senses and a silly smile appeared on his face.

From today on, he is officially a family!

Although it always feels unreal, it is the fact and it is too late to regret.

Yun Ye glanced at the messy bed sheets behind him, recalled the sweetness of last night, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

Soon, he stood up, stretched, and walked out of the house with a refreshed look on his face, heading towards the kitchen.

Last night's wedding banquet lasted until midnight. The guests drank a lot of wine but didn't eat much of the food.

Yun Ye had anticipated this, so he had already made arrangements, holding a grand banquet at the Yun family's farm and inviting the farmers to share in the joy.

All the food that had not been touched in the mansion was sent to Yunjia Manor by Lao Zhuang and his men, and the food that the farmers had not finished eating was either packed up and taken away by them or transported back to the mansion.

Therefore, the food that Yun Ye is looking for now should be the leftovers left by the farmers.

If it were another marquis, he would definitely not do such a cheap thing, but Yun Ye didn't care. He just wanted to find a roast chicken to fill his rumbling stomach.

Before I even reached the kitchen, I smelled the aroma of barbecue coming from not far away.

Yun Ye sniffed, his eyes brightened, and he quickly followed the scent, and sure enough, he saw Lin Zhongtian barbecuing by the pool.

Footsteps were heard. Lin Zhongtian glanced at Yun Ye, smiled slightly, and placed the grilled skewers on the iron plate.

The aroma became stronger and stronger, and Yun Ye's appetite grew. He immediately sat opposite Lin Zhongtian, picked up the skewers of meat and devoured them.

"Mmm, delicious!"

Yun Ye's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Brother Tian, ​​I didn't know you had this skill!"

Lin Zhongtian laughed and said, "Why, do you think that I can only make that kind of unpalatable tonic?"

It really is!
Yun Ye chuckled and changed the subject while eating the skewers: "What kind of meat is this? Why is it so chewy?"

Lin Zhongtian said casually: "Dragon meat."

Yun Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "As the saying goes, there is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground. Could this meat be donkey meat?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly and was noncommittal.

While grilling the meat, he whispered, "I made you happy yesterday, but today I have to talk to you about some serious matters."

Yun Ye paused, then said seriously: "Tell me, I can bear it."

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him, laughed and shook his head: "Don't be so serious, it's not that serious. It's just that when you were getting married yesterday, many assassins ambushed on the roadside and wanted to assassinate you. They were dealt with by me and the old soldiers in the mansion."

Yun Ye suddenly realized: "That's why you came so late yesterday..."

Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said, "That's because of what happened later. It has nothing to do with this... Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to say that the emperor also sent people to help you and eliminated a lot of trouble for you."

Yun Ye nodded and said, "I guessed that. Before the wedding, I sent an invitation to Commander Liu Xianliu, but he didn't come yesterday."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "He really can't come, because he is the leader."

After saying that, Lin Zhongtian paused, and then continued: "I asked Liu Xian and the assassins, and learned that a reward of 5,000 strings of cash was offered for you. Most of these assassins accepted the reward and wanted to exchange your head for silver."

Yun Ye chuckled and said calmly, "You want to buy my head with just 5,000 strings of cash? Dou Yanshan is at the end of his rope!"

"That's not true. He does have some skills." Lin Zhongtian said with a smile, "After asking the assassin yesterday, I went to Chang'an to visit the Tiger Gang and got a lot of information from their leader, White Tiger."

Yun Ye frowned: "The Tiger Gang, the largest gang entrenched in Fang City?"

Lin Zhongtian nodded and asked with a smile: "Guess what I asked?"

Yun Ye looked helpless: "At this time, let's stop playing dumb, okay?"

Lin Zhongtian laughed, put down the skewers, took out a note from his arms and handed it to Yun Ye.

"Last night, I told Hong Cheng about the Tiger Gang. Hong Cheng went to the palace that night. Half an hour later, the Tiger Gang was uprooted by the Hundred Cavalry Division and the Imperial Guards."

"This is the message that the Hundred Cavalry Division sent to the palace this morning. I intercepted a copy. Take a look."

Yun Ye widened his eyes, looked at Lin Zhongtian strangely, and then spread out the note.

Looking at the lines of small words on the note, Yun Ye became more and more frightened. Finally, he could not help but slam the table and said angrily: "A mere thug was able to sweep out 267 sets of armor and countless controlled long and short weapons."

"This kind of armament is enough to equip an army of a thousand men. What on earth is the Chang'an government office for?!"

Lin Zhongtian smiled, took out a second note and handed it to Yun Ye: "Don't get angry yet, take a look at this second note, this is the top secret that only the emperor can see."

As for why the top-secret information ended up in his hands, Lin Zhongtian didn't say and Yun Ye didn't ask.

Yun Ye frowned, took the note, spread it out and looked at it, then stood up suddenly.

"Eight Bull Crossbows?!"

Yun Ye looked at Lin Zhongtian in astonishment. Lin Zhongtian smiled and nodded, "Yes, there are four of them."

As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "This White Tiger is really all-powerful. He was able to get the parts of the Eight Ox Crossbow from the military camp and assembled four Eight Ox Crossbows!"

To be honest, when Lin Zhongtian asked this question, he was also speechless.

After all, this thing is a strategic weapon in this era. One arrow can shoot three targets at a time and penetrate heavy armor. When attacking a city, it can even be nailed into the city wall so that soldiers can grab the crossbow and climb up.

Weapons like this must be the most strictly controlled ones in the military camp, but Bai Lao Hu actually got it, and even made four Eight-Ox Crossbows at once and hid them in various places in Chang'an.

If he hadn't received this news, Hong Cheng would not have entered the palace at night and brought the imperial edict to wipe out the Tiger Gang overnight.

A crossbow of this power, if operated by an experienced soldier who is proficient in this technique, is enough to carry out an assassination from five hundred steps away.

If any princes, nobles, or even the emperor himself died from the Eight-Ox Crossbow, the entire army would be to blame.

Yun Ye frowned and said, "The intelligence said that the Hundred Cavalry Division only found two Eight Ox Crossbows. What about the remaining two?"

Lin Zhongtian said leisurely: "Of course it was sold by White Tiger!"

Yun Ye was surprised and asked, "Sold it? Where did you sell it to?"

"I don't know." Lin Zhongtian shook his head. "According to Bai Lao Hu, he just disassembled the Eight Oxen Crossbow into parts, took them out of Chang'an in batches, and then went to the designated location to collect the money. He never met the person behind the scenes."

Yun Ye frowned and said, "There must be a middleman, right?"

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "Indeed, there was one. It was a fishmonger who delivered fish to the Tiger Gang. The Hundred Cavalry Division chased him last night and found that the fishmonger's family of five had already died, and they had been dead for at least seven days."

Yun Ye said coldly: "Killing people to silence them is a simple yet effective method."

Lin Zhongtian said calmly: "Everything will leave traces. With the methods of this era, it is impossible to be foolproof. Now this line has been targeted by Hong Cheng and his Hundred Cavalry Division. I believe that news will come in soon."

Yun Ye frowned and said, "Then we're just going to do nothing?"

Lin Zhongtian continued to grill the skewers and said casually, "I don't care. It depends on you."

Yun Ye sat down again, eating the skewers and said, "Then I'll go find Hong Cheng after I finish this meal."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Don't worry, take a look at the gift I gave you first."

Yun Ye was stunned when he heard this: "Gift? Didn't I give it to you yesterday?"

After hearing this, Lin Zhongtian was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "When was it delivered?"

Yun Ye's eyes moved slightly, he glanced around, and lowered his voice and said: "It's about the auspicious clouds and the glow of yesterday..."

"That!" Lin Zhongtian suddenly realized and waved his hand, "That was a trick. I was late, so how could I sneak into the crowd without trying to attract the guests' attention?"

"..."

The corners of Yun Ye's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to comment.

He made such a big fuss just to attract attention. It seems that this senior time traveler is a bit willful!

That’s right, this guy has been willful for a long time, Yun Ye should have expected this.

However, is this considered as him admitting that he had something to do with yesterday's auspicious clouds and glow?

Yun Ye blinked and looked at Lin Zhongtian opposite him, wondering what he was thinking.

The two of them sat by the pond in the yard and finished the barbecue in silence.

After the last piece of meat was swallowed by Lin Zhongtian, he clapped his hands, supported himself on his knees and stood up, looking at Yun Ye and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the big gift I gave you!"

Yun Ye nodded, stood up, and followed Lin Zhongtian with anticipation.

Soon, the two arrived at the guest room where they were staying in the forest.

Lin Zhongtian entered the room first, came to an object wrapped in linen, then turned and looked at Yun Ye.

Yun Ye blinked his eyes and looked at the object in front of him that was about the same height as a man. After a moment of hesitation, he stepped forward and lifted it up.

In an instant, a figure in silver and black steel armor stood in front of Yun Ye. Its two angular eyes emitted blue light, and the Ark reactor on its chest began to operate, with a slight buzzing sound.

In just a moment, the whole world became quiet, and it seemed that only the Ark reactor was humming softly.

No, not only the Ark Reactor, but also Yun Ye's body could faintly hear the sound of breaking. That was his worldview that had become fragmented under the impact of the Iron Armor...

Lin Zhongtian glanced at Yun Ye, who had a dazed look on his face, smiled slightly, and said leisurely: "Yesterday was your big day, and I actually didn't know what to give you."

"Then I thought about it carefully and felt that men still like cars, guns and balls, so I decided to give you a better car. Even if you don't drive it in the future, you can keep it as a toy to appreciate..."

"Bang! Bang!"

As he spoke, Lin Zhongtian raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the silver-black steel armor, and said with a smile: "The silver-black Mark 43 armor has its own radiation-proof lining. It can work for a long time in nuclear contaminated areas, extreme temperatures, and extreme environments. It can also perform underwater operations or perform supersonic flights in the high-altitude suborbital flight of the earth. It can be said to be used on land, sea, and air."

"How's it going? Do you like it?"
