Volume 1 Once Upon a Time in the South Bargaining Prices
By the time Laiwu and Kaiba landed on the shore, they were already unsteady on their feet, and they had to hold each other to move. Chen Zhu had been leaning on the sand, and although he couldn't really see the battle in the distance on the sea, he saw the smiles on the faces of Kaiba and Lai Wu at this moment, and knew that the bandit leader of Xi Yu must be dead.
Alwin's wounds were the least of the few, and he was the first to return to the eastern battlefield where the two armies faced off.
"Xia Ye, you send a few people to the coast to carry the regiment leader and them back. Alwyn commanded.
Xia Ye saw that Alvin had returned safely, the tense look on his face finally relaxed, and he chose a few strong ones to go to Laiwu.
Then Alvin snapped his fingers at the airship above, "Little sister Aoi, don't you want to settle accounts, it's now, don't you come down?"
Langyun is also a quick person, and when he heard the meaning of Alvin's words, he knew that it was not so simple to let go of this group of Tingxiao people, so he helped Kwai next to him to fall from the airboat.
At this time, only half of his face was left, and when he saw the situation in the field, he immediately ran to Alvin.
"Hey, come slowly, come slowly. Feng Feng said with a shy half of his face, "I just talked to you(s) the head of the regiment, so I have to do it again?"
Then Feng Feng leaned over to Alven's side and whispered, "I'll give out 30,000 Ru (Lu) Ni, and I've negotiated with you(s) the head of the group, oh, and this dead mercenary group is also for you to loot." ”
Alwyn's heart was strange, this Tingxiao man had half of his cheeks shaved, how could his tongue be much better.
"Oh, you give 30,000 Looney," Alvin nodded in agreement, and then beckoned to the little girl beside Langyun, "Little sister Aoi, come here, he said he gave 30,000 Looney and let me release them, what do you think?"
"He didn't have a Looney, he snatched it all from me. Aoi pointed at Kaede and scolded.
As soon as Kaede saw that it was Aoi Tilt, he knew that this matter was not so simple today, he didn't expect this little girl to be rescued. The look on his face also changed from the original flattery to cold.
Earlier, the subordinates of the Tianxing Mercenary Group saw that the boss was injured and brought the medicine box over, and Feng Feng himself took a large piece of gauze and applied it to his face, grinning in pain, and when the bandage was finished, he simply sat down on the medicine box, wanting to see what tricks Alvin and Aoi wanted to play.
"Ha, you little girl is funny when she talks, what's wrong with me robbing it? Then it's not mine?"
"This empty boat was originally yours, but I robbed it, and that's mine. Now that they have robbed it again, it is theirs. The law of the jungle is the truth. Kaede admired himself so much that he felt like he was about to become an eloquent.
"You... You shameless robber!" Aoi said bitterly, the little girl may be able to do business, but when it comes to dealing with scoundrels, it is still a little tender.
"That's right, the law of the jungle is the strongest, that's the truth. Alvin clapped his hands and then looked grimacing, "Then don't talk nonsense." Brothers, set up a position and fight with these Tingxiao people!"
"Okay!" Xia Ye replied first, the long sword in his hand pointed directly at these Celestial Star mercenary groups that had gone through several hard battles. The melee martial artists behind him also roared, spreading out their formation, ready to fight with the Tingxiao people at any time.
As soon as Langyun saw this posture, he hurriedly returned to the airship, preparing to command the magicians and crossbowmen to kill in the air.
Seeing that the two gangs were about to make a move, Aoi was so frightened that she quickly hid to Elwin's side.
In fact, what Kaede is most afraid of is people like Alvin who start fighting without saying a word, and there is no room for change at all. He originally thought that these Yafi people in front of him were just asking for money, so he waited for Alvin to raise the price, and then bargained for himself. He was looking high, and he was just trying to suppress the price offered by Alvin.
However, Kaede couldn't have imagined that Alvin was the kind of person who wouldn't bother with the other party if he found a fighter. For example, right now, Alvin wanted to strangle all these Tingxiao people here, and he didn't even bother to waste a little spittle.
"Anyway, if I win the battle, everything is mine, is it necessary to discuss it with you?"
In fact, Lai Wu returned to the formation just now, and when he heard Kwai Tian say this, he also understood what kind of goods this maple was. He was also wondering why this Tingxiao man was so generous, his mouth was 10,000 Looney, and when he talked about 30,000, his face did not change, and his feelings were not his own money.
Lai Wu knew that to deal with people like Feng Feng, he needed to scare him first, so he didn't stand up and speak.
Feng Feng was still sitting on the medicine box with a good tone, but when he saw Alvin's posture, his heart beat a drum, and he was so frightened that he quickly stood up. He is also an old man who has led the mercenary group to fight all year round, and he knows better than anyone that these mercenaries under his command really can't fight anymore, and if they really fight again, it is estimated that the whole army will be wiped out here.
Even if he can get away with it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive in the future. After all, the leader of each mercenary group pays attention to his reputation and achievements, if he loses all the way in the territory of the Yafei Empire and doesn't even bring back a living person, then who will dare to follow him out in the future?
When Feng Feng was in a dilemma, Lai Wu walked to the front of the team. As soon as Feng Feng saw Lai Wu coming, he thought to himself that this master who could still speak, so he smiled and came up again, "Brother, didn't we (we) negotiate just now, you and your powerful magician brother said, why force people to a dead end?"
"Heh, you didn't tell me when we talked about it, and you robbed the empty boat, and the money was also robbed," Lai Wu said with a straight face, "Be generous to others and save your own life, you are also shameless." ”
"Hmph, you Yafi people have no faith at all. Seeing Lai Wu's face change, Feng Feng scolded hatefully.
"If you're scolding there again, you can see if I can cut off the other half of your face in a while. Alvin said coldly, he actually didn't look down on this Tingxiao man from the bottom of his heart, and always wanted to kill him quickly. But Laiwu walked out from behind, and Alvin understood what he meant, obviously telling himself to try not to fight if he could.
The little girl sneaked a glance at Alwin, who was chilling.
"Just now against that Xiyu, everyone is almost injured, and a few of us can not participate in the war. Then it's better than me, or yours, who are physically better. "Lai Wu's meaning is very clear, although the commanders on both sides are seriously injured, but his soldiers here do not consume much physical strength, let Yu Feng weigh it himself before acting.
"Okay, I can spit out all this little girl's money. Although the complexion of Kaede was ugly, he still knew the severity.
"How much did he rob?" Alvin asked, looking at the little girl beside him.
"Five boxes of silver coins, a total of fifty-five thousand looneys. There was also a box of gold, silver, and jewelry, worth 12,000 loneys, and an airship, worth more than 30,000 loneys. Aoi said.
Alvin couldn't help but gasp after hearing this, he didn't expect this little girl to be so wealthy. It is estimated that everyone present was taken aback.
"In this way, you robbed people of almost 100,000 Looney. Alvin said as he looked at Kaede.
"Phew, don't talk nonsense from the little girl's family, you just say that I robbed you of millions of Looney... Kaede jumped to his feet. Now it feels like he's fully recovered.
"I have an account book here, and I remember every entry and exit clearly, and there is a record of how much money is deposited. Unconvinced, the little girl took out a three-inch sheepskin cover ledger from the mezzanine on her chest and handed it to Alvin.
Alvin flipped through it roughly, and then handed it to Laiwu beside him.
"It's useless to have a ledger, even if I give you all the rest of Looney, I won't have this number. "Kaede's momentum is a little shorter.
"And how many Looney do you have left?" Alwyn glanced at him.
"Less than 50,000," Feng Feng replied directly, "I have sold all the cash/goods, and the gold, silver and jewelry have also been pawned, and now there should be about 45,000 left." ”
"Will I believe you?" Erwin squinted at Yu Feng, his hand had already been raised, Xia Ye saw that this gesture had stirred up the momentum of the Quartet Mercenary Group, and he was ready to make a move at any time.
"I'm really telling the truth ... Seeing that Alvin was not good at talking, Feng Feng looked at Lai Wu and begged for mercy.
"What do you think?" Alvin asked Lai Wu in a low voice, "Actually, I really want to kill all these Tingxiao people." ”
"It's not hard to kill them, but we'll have to answer for a hundred lives ourselves. Lai Wu also whispered, "Do you look at this Halladic City as if it can levy mercenaries?"
"If you think about it carefully, the Tingxiao people have all hit here, and the Xituo City in the northeast has either fallen or been besieged. So where are we going to replenish the mercenaries along the way? What if you want us to lose a hundred or so people now, and when we get to Xituo City, we will encounter a few mercenary groups from Tingxiao? With our current people, we can't afford to lose them. Lai Wu then analyzed.
When Alvin heard this, he felt that there was still a gap between himself and the regimental commander, at least at the strategic level, and he still thought too little.
"Well, then, give up all the rest of the gold and silver. And you, the five hundred, have taken off all their armor and equipment, and we will let you go. Lai Wu said.
"Do you want me to hand over my armor and equipment? No way, I'd rather die than do such a shameful thing. Kaede replied.
"Then you should die here. Lai Wu said coldly, "Don't think I don't know, your forty-five thousand didn't tell the truth, I still have a way to live for you." So now, it's either going to die happily, or you're going to throw away your armor and get out, do you understand?"
Feng Feng was naturally pretending, he didn't dare to play with Lai Wu and these people at all, Lai Wu had already seen through him.
In fact, Lai Wu's eyes were sharp, and he had long seen that the equipment of the Tianxing Mercenary Group was very good. Where did all the loot money go? If you can't get cash, you can always take these equipment, and Lai Wu's abacus is also very fine.
Feng Feng looked at Lai Wu and Alvin hatefully, even if they were as treacherous as him, they didn't take any advantage under the two of them after all.
In the end, the leader of the Celestial Star Mercenary Regiment reluctantly handed over the 45,000 Looneys, and also left 500 pairs of heavy armor and blades, and retreated in an embarrassed northeast direction amid the laughter of the Quartet Mercenary Regiment.
"Little girl, that's all we can do. Alvin looked at the smoke and dust billowing in the distance and sighed, "Although I would also like to kill this courtless robber who has a good and bad mouth, but I can't rely on my personal likes and dislikes to march and fight." ”
Aoi Tian hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, Brother Elwin, it's enough to see that robber so embarrassed." Give you all the Looney that you have returned. ”
"How can I do that... Alvin said duplicitously.
"You saved my life and my father's life, this money is nothing. Aoi tilted his head and said, "But, Brother Alwin, my father is still in a coma, and you say there is a way to save him?"
Alwyn then remembered, "yes, and your father's wounded in this crisis, you go and lower the airboat first, and I'll get the potion." ”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After dealing with the Tingxiao people with a strong spirit just now, and now that his mind was relaxed, Alvin began to feel the pain of the wounds on his body welling up. Kaiba and Chenzhu had already been carried to lie down, and Kelaiwu was even more desperate than Elwin, directing everyone to clean up the battlefield. You must know that Lai Wu has a lot more injuries than Alwin, and it seems that this regiment leader is really not something that anyone can do.
"I'm not dead. The man in the carriage glanced faintly at Alwin, who had opened the door and entered.
"Oh, kill a bandit leader, no. Alvin sneered.
"Well, it's not that easy to watch. The chestnut-haired man then scoffed.
"yes, I'll tell you the truth, I'm actually scared to death. Alwyn sat down with the concubine and took Onien into his arms.
At present, Onian's magic is limited by the enchanted ropes, and he can't do anything with Elwin. When it comes to physical strength, even if Alvin is weak, he has more strength than a girl's family.
"You... Let go. Onian reacted from a moment of astonishment, she was about to open her mouth to bite, but when she saw the tattered magic soft armor on the other party's body, she really couldn't get her mouth down. Seeing that there were still a few pieces of good meat between Alwin's neck, he took a bite when he went up.
Alvin took a breath of cold air in pain, but his hand did not let go, still holding her waist, but his eyes looked vacantly ahead.
O'Ann felt Elwin's heavy snort in her ears, but she didn't say a word, and she sensed something was wrong with the guy, and struggled to sit up from Alwin's arms, and looked at him carefully.
"What's wrong?" said Oniehn, looking at him with concern.
"It's nothing, I was a little scared of myself just now. Alvin came back to his senses and said in a daze, "After I just killed that Yuyu, I felt that I couldn't help but want to kill, if it wasn't for Lai Wu to stop me, I would almost want to kill all the remaining Tingxiao people." ”
"Oh, speaking of which, do you have to explain to me that in front of this princess, you are so bold to collaborate with the enemy, right?" Onien's face changed, and she asked in a cold voice, completely oblivious to whose lap she was sitting on now.
Alvin sighed, "Your Highness, these mercenaries are not royal guards, they are all fed by our salaries, don't look at the five hundred or so, how many Looney will be burned in just a month." If you don't scrape money from Tingxiao people, I'm just afraid that I will be left alone to escort you to the front line at that time. ”
"Come less, just scrape money from them and strangle them all. Aren't you still doing it?"
"That's why I said I wanted to kill them too. Alvin said helplessly, "But Lai Wu won't let me." ”
"Oh, this brother of yours has more eyes than you. Onian gave him a pointful look.
Obviously, the princess understood Lai Wu's mind at once.
"Hey, why don't you seem to like Laiwu? Alvin wondered.
"Does that mean the Lan girl thinks so too?" asked Onian with a smile.
"No, I didn't mention her. Alwyn avoided her gaze.
"Oh, what are you looking at. O'Ann broke through mercilessly.
"Don't talk about that, I want some potions to heal sword wounds, and I'll use them urgently. There was a little girl's father who was dying, and I didn't know if I could save it. Alvin put Onian on the couch and turned over the box of potions.
"That little girl is the owner of the empty boat?" said Onian, curious.
"yes, how do you know?" Alwyn was curious, "She's also taken captive, and the Tingxiao people have taken over her airship. ”
"You have taken advantage of someone else's size, don't you have to work hard," Onien quipped, "or is that little girl unusual?"
"I don't know what she looks like, and I can't see the blood on her face when I rescued her. Alwyn had to look at the labels on the bottles and go to the potions book to check their effects. He didn't dare trouble Orniene, if he untied the ropes from her hands, he wouldn't be able to deal with her.
"Oh, you mean I'm doing this to comfort myself?" Alwyn laughed, "but I didn't really plan to take over her airship and return her after the battle." ”
"I looked at the extraordinary cost of the empty boat, and I thought that those Tingxiao people had scavenged this little girl for a lot of benefits. Are all these benefits in your pockets now?" said O'Ann with a teasing face.
"Haha, it seems that there is really nothing to hide from your Highness. Alvin sighed with a smile.
Within a while, Alvin found all the potions he wanted to use, and took a bottle of the falcon-billed lizard potion that he had refined last time, which could be used by Chen Zhu.
"Hey, when are you going to untie me, you're really not afraid that I'll settle accounts with you in the future, right?" Seeing that Alwyn was leaving, O'Ann reminded.
"Your Highness, with your magical powers, you can't really be trapped by this kind of thing," Alwyn said, turning to look at her, "Once your injuries have recovered, you won't need me to solve them, and you'll have broken it yourself." ”
Knowing that he had a point, O'Ann pouted and turned her head away from him.
"In the future, don't go to find people to work hard. Onian looked out the window with a sideways face, "You should feel it yourself, when it comes to a crisis, the violent aura on your body is very heavy." I saw it on the first day of the Pillow Sword Club, and that Shi Jiu was almost killed by you. ”
"Hmm. Alvin answered and got out of the carriage.
When O'Ann said this, Alvin recalled the scene of that day, and thought of the battle between Fang Cai and Xinyu, and his heart was alarmed, "It seems that this is really the case." ”
The little girl was overjoyed to see Alvin come back with bottles and cans.
When Alvin saw that the little girl had washed her face, he didn't expect that she was really a little beautiful, but she was too young.
Thanks to these valuable potions of Onian, Aoi Dump her father was rescued, and although the person had not yet woken up, many infected wounds began to heal.
"Brother Elwin, I knew you had a way to save my father. Seeing that her father had been pulled back from the brink of death, Aoi threw herself into Alwin's arms in a fit of excitement, and Pear Blossom began to laugh and cry in the rain.
Alvin looked at the little girl in his arms with some astonishment, thinking that he really couldn't do anything evil about the girl who was too young.
The battle outside the city of Hallada ended in a great victory for the Quartet mercenary group.
In addition to the 500 sets of heavy armor handed over by the court Xiaoren, hundreds of pieces of armor were also swept away during the cleaning of the battlefield, and for a while, everyone couldn't even pick up the armor. And, of course, the blades, and the mercenaries also conducted a round of trade-in. When everyone had finished sifting through them, the extra good armor was put away and stored in the airship.
After the airship was requisitioned by Alvin, he underwent a drastic transformation. The upper and lower floors of the cabin, the lower floor are all used for supplies, the upper floor is used for people, and the partition between the two floors is also sealed by Alwyn with magic.
The armor outside the captain's room had been removed, and the sunlight could finally shine through. The floor in the room was all knocked out, and the secret room compartment was also opened, and the overall space looked a lot bigger. So Alvin transformed it into a duplex.
His design is quite ingenious, looking at two large rooms, one on the left and one on the right, separated by a corridor in the middle. The interior of the room is a structure with two floors connected together.
Such painstaking efforts naturally have an ulterior purpose. Now he can sleep in the same room as Onian. There was more light from above, so he gave up the upper floor to the princess and lived below.
Kwai and his father live opposite, and this empty boat is still nominally the little girl Kwai Tant, so the room naturally has to be kept for her.
As Alvin moved into the airship, Aoi looked strangely at the delicate-looking chestnut-haired man behind him. Alvin thought to himself, this little girl wouldn't be crooked.
The Quartet mercenary group did not stay too long in the war-torn city of Hallede, and marched directly to Xituo City, a hundred miles to the northeast.
Lai Wu still took the lead, and Xia Ye led the martial arts to follow.
Alwin, on the other hand, stood on the airboat in style, letting the cold wind over the distant sail sea blow his curly hair.
