Before heading to the mine, Zhao Gang and the others held a meeting to explain the details of the mission, and at the meeting, the team leader Zhao Gang told his guess.

"After the information I gathered yesterday, I can probably figure out the source of my uneasiness!"

"Oh, is there anything wrong with this mission?" asked Han Lin.

"Yes, you listen to my analysis. As he spoke, Zhao Gang opened a map.

"You look at the map, it has marked several large bandit dens and the surrounding mines, have you found anything?"

On this map, different markers were used to indicate bandits and mines, and Han Lin looked at it for a long time and did not find anything abnormal.

However, after Feng Zezheng looked at it for a while, he patted his head and said, "I know, this target mine is in the territory of the Sun family!"

"That's right, that's what I'm going to say. Seeing Han Lin's puzzled expression, Zhao Gang explained: "Han Lin, you are an outsider, you may not understand, I will explain it to you from the beginning." ”

"You should know that there are three major families in the Black Iron Country, but what you don't know is the distribution of the power of the three major families" Saying, Zhao Gang drew four circles of three large and one small on the map, and these four circles just divided the Black Iron Country, and then he pointed to the three small circles and said.

"These three circles are the spheres of influence of the three major families, and they are the Sun family, the Ye family, and the Zhang family from north to south. You see, although this Xishan mine is within the boundaries of the Sun family's power, it is still within the Sun family's range. ”

"That's the problem. First, the Xishan mine is not as the person who issued the mission said: the Sun family is unable to mobilize troops to protect it, which is more like an inability, or unwillingness. ”

"Second, the bandits' behavior is also very abnormal, if it is for Mithril, then why not go to the mines a little further west? There is also Mithril there, and it is no longer in the Sun family's sphere of influence, so it should be better to get it. ”

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, the scene fell into a short silence, and then Feng Zezheng suddenly said: "Are you saying that the task is not as simple as they say?

"Anything happens, there must be an omen, so after my constant inquiries last night, I heard a news"

"Wait, haven't you been drinking all the time last night" Feng Zezheng suddenly discovered a blind spot.

"That's just a cover for gathering intelligence," Zhao Gang defended, "Don't interrupt me, or I won't talk about it."

"Okay, you go on. ”

"Hmph" glanced at Feng Zezheng, and Zhao Gang continued, "After my constant inquiries last night, I found a piece of news, that is, the Ye family seems to be going to the Sun family to discuss business recently. ”

"I understand, are you saying that the Sun family has something that can't be seen by the Ye family, so it's hidden in the Xishan Mine?"

Zhao Gang gave Feng Zezheng an approving look, "That's what it means, so that it can explain why the Sun family can't arrange troops, but quietly borrow people from the mercenary alliance." Because they are not unable to, but they dare not, then it is equivalent to three hundred taels of silver in this place. ”

"Then aren't we equivalent to being involved in a family dispute" After listening to Zhao Gang's analysis, Feng Zezheng suddenly became a little worried, "This is not something that we ordinary people can participate in, should we change the task, it just so happens that there are many tasks to capture spirit beasts recently......"

"Don't worry," Zhao Gang interrupted Feng Zezheng's words, "This is just my speculation, not necessarily true, what if it is really just an ordinary guarding mine? And even if it is true, the Ye family does not dare to meet the Sun family easily, after all, they are all big families." ”

"But it's still possible," the cautious Feng Zezheng was still not at ease.

"Then take a step back, even if the Ye family really fights, it's good for us to retreat directly, after all, we are taking over the task of guarding against bandits. It was the Sun family who issued the fake task first, we are not in breach of contract, and we can even claim a liquidated damages for this."

"At this time, you still think about money?"

"It's not what you said, the reward of this task is huge, so I took it"

"I didn't know there were so many secrets at the time."

"You don't know anything, you're just patronizing and thinking about your fiancée, you chu man"

"What do you say, you drunkard"

“......”

Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, Han Lin and Wang Qiang looked at the two helplessly, their relationship was really good.

But there is no time to delay now, so Han Lin hurriedly mediated, "Okay, okay, don't quarrel with the two big brothers, we are about to leave, time can't be wasted here"

"Hmph, for Han Lin's sake, I won't be like you," Zhao Gang said pretending to be generous.

"You think I want to be like you," Feng Zezheng said.

"Then how do we assign tasks," Han Lin hurriedly diverted the topic.

"I estimate that we will patrol in the form of a team when we arrive at the mine, and then you will follow me closely Han Lin, and the others will report to me as usual, once they find any abnormalities, they will immediately report to me, and if the form is not right, we will retreat directly" After arranging the division of labor, he asked Feng Zezheng

"Xiao Fengzi, have all the supplies been purchased?"

"Don't call me Xiao Fengzi, my mother is girly. The herbs had been purchased and given to Han Lin, and some emergency dry food and drinking water had also been prepared, which were put in Hadron's bag along with other trivial things. ”

"OK, then everything is ready, let's go. ”

————————

After half a day of riding horses and galloping, Han Lin and the others finally arrived at the Xishan Mine. As soon as he got off the horse, Han Lin hugged a tree and vomited.

"Han Lin, I said that you can't do this, you can't stand this little bump, so how can you be a qualified mercenary" Looking at Han Lin who was vomiting on the side of the road, Feng Zezheng smiled.

After vomiting, Han Lin stood up and complained, "It's not all you, why are you riding so fast?"

"It's not like you're in a hurry, or you'll have to get here at night. ”

Feng Zezheng was right, but in the final analysis, Feng Zezheng didn't care about Han Lin. Because compared to when Little Pepper rode a horse and took him before, it felt countless times worse.

Thinking of this, Han Lin realized that Xiao Pepper must have wasted a lot of heart in order to make him sit comfortably.

"I don't know how she's doing now, I don't know if I'm implicated"

Since leaving Fancheng, Han Lin has not gone back, he has already provoked several major mercenary groups in Fancheng, and he can't go back to make trouble for the iron-blooded mercenary group.

"When I fix my natal magic weapon, I must go back and take a look" Han Lin secretly decided, "Let's continue the mission now"

Looking at the mine not far away, Han Lin walked forward, but as soon as he moved, his knees weakened and he knelt down again, and Zhao Gang and the others in front of him couldn't stop laughing when they saw this.

Seeing that he was being ridiculed, Han Lin made a vow No. 2, "When I go back on this mission, I must learn to ride a horse." ”

"Okay, okay, Qiangzi, you go and help him" When the laughter was enough, Zhao Gang ordered, and after speaking, he went to introduce his intentions to the mine guards.

Hearing that he had received a mission, one of the guards hurriedly went in to report it, while the other walked towards the office of the mine with Han Lin and his party.

This way, it was really embarrassing Han Lin to death, and all the people who passed by, without exception, looked at Han Lin who seemed to be half-paralyzed with curiosity, and their expressions seemed to say: Can you still be a mercenary if you are disabled?

In this way, after walking for about a stick of incense with a curious gaze, Han Lin and the others finally arrived at the office, and at this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly was already at the door to greet them.

"It's really an honor that Brother Zhao's team took over the task. I haven't met from afar, and I hope to forgive my sins. ”

"Where is the old brother, we are ordinary mercenaries, and it is an honor to let the old brother come out to greet us. ”

"Brother Zhao doesn't need to be modest, in this Black Iron Country, who doesn't know Brother Zhao's team, it's better to see than to hear, and when I see it today, sure enough, everyone is the dragon and phoenix among people" Saying that, the middle-aged man looked at the few people behind Zhao Gang, but when he saw Han Lin's weak appearance, the words in his mouth suddenly froze, and seeing the middle-aged man's appearance, Han Lin's face became even darker.

"Poof" Seeing the middle-aged man patting the horse's leg on the horse's leg, Feng Zezheng couldn't help laughing, and the middle-aged man was even more embarrassed.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Zhao Gang couldn't help but smile and took the initiative to explain, "Oh, this is Han Lin, the pharmacist of our team, he is not used to riding horses, so he has become like this." ”

"But don't look at him like this, he's the main force of our team"

"Oh, Brother Han, right, I've heard that Brother Han's medical skills are superb, and now many groups are regretting not accepting Brother Han."

"Ahh

"You see, I was talking and forgot to welcome everyone in. Everyone, please, I have prepared tea, and we will continue to talk while we drink," and he led the people into the house.

Following the man into the house, Han Lin got a glimpse of the whole room, only to see that this was a small living room, which was simply furnished, several sets of tables and chairs, a few pairs of calligraphy and paintings, and two sets of weapon racks placed on the wall, this was the whole picture of the house.

This was different from Han Lin's prediction, he thought that the person who ate so fat must have been corrupt. But if you think about it, this is not his home, and he doesn't need to decorate it so luxuriously.

While Han Lin was thinking nonsense, Zhao Gang had already chatted with the man about the task.

"The power of attorney didn't make our mission clear, so I don't know what we're going to do," Zhao Gang asked

"As written, we were worried about an invasion, so we had someone to guard the mine," the man said bluntly.

"With you, there are already three squads here, counting the guards of our mine, which can just guard the four sides of the mine. Please take care of the north side of the mine, and if you find someone intruding, you can repel it directly, or if you can't, you will sound the alarm, and reinforcements will arrive. ”

As he spoke, the man handed Zhao Gang a drawing, which was a map of the mine, in which the places they were going to defend and the places where they lived were drawn.

After reading the map, seeing that the man was drinking tea for a long time, Zhao Gang said tentatively, "There is no problem, but as the so-called villain first and then gentleman, there is one thing we have to explain in advance." Our team will strictly follow the instructions on the power of attorney, so you don't have to worry about us being lazy. ”

"But if there is a situation other than the power of attorney, please forgive us for not being able to carry it out, after all, we are just ordinary warriors."

Listening to Zhao Gang's words, the man put down the teacup, he squinted his eyes at Zhao Gang for a while, and said, "Why did Brother Zhao say this, did you hear any rumors?"

"I haven't heard of anything, it's just the rules of our squad. ”

After staring at Zhao Gang and thinking for a while, the man returned to his previous appearance, and said with a smile, "I listened to Brother Zhao's team before, but now when I see it, it is really so." Don't worry, brother, we'll do what the power of attorney says, and if something happens outside of the mission, you can just leave. ”

"With my brother's words, we will rest assured" Saying that, Zhao Gang stood up, and Han Lin and the three of them also stood up, "Then we won't bother my brother, let's go on a mission first"

"Okay, then I won't keep Brother Zhao anymore, I wish you all the best. ”

"Thank you, brother, let's stay. ”

Until Zhao Gang and his party left the sight, the man frowned: "What should be arranged has been arranged, I just hope the news is wrong." ”
