Chapter 111: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Liaohai Province was located on the northeastern coast of the Sunset Empire, bordering the western province of Urgan Province. And the city of Kanto under the jurisdiction of Liaohai Province also happens to be bordering on Baturu City. The comprehensive economic strength of Baturu City ranks among the top three in more than ten cities in the entire Sunset Empire, which mainly depends on the huge group of demonic beasts in the West Baru Mountains, which has given birth to a series of economic ecology such as spirit stone medicinal materials, magic crystal animal skins, and inscription scrolls, plus the geographical location is very important, as an important barrier against the snake clan, so it is also the military center city of the empire. Because of these two unique advantages, there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going to Baturu City. Among them, the ink dye of Kanto City made a fortune by reselling spirit stone medicinal materials and magic crystal scrolls between Baturu City and Kanto City.
However, between the two cities is an uninhabited mountain area for two or three hundred miles. As the old saying goes, the border between the two provinces belongs to the two areas, and it is the most chaotic. Among them, there are often strongmen haunting, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, so very few people choose to pass here at night, and even during the day, ordinary merchants choose to rush in groups. And for some wealthy businessmen, they chose to reward mercenaries for escorts. Even so, there are still many wealthy businessmen who capsize in the gutter every year. In the event of such a thing, not to mention the loss of goods, even a small life may not be saved, so it is extremely necessary to reward the guards of the Heavenly Mandate Master with a heavy reward
"Captain Hemer, you see that the brothers are all tired from the morning's journey, why don't you let the brothers rest for a while before they hurry," a man of medium stature in silver-gray steel armor said respectfully.
"Well, the brigade has already driven out of Baturu City for more than a hundred miles, and it should have passed the Rocky Hill, so let's rest for a while and hurry," the leader of the team called Haimo pondered for a moment and nodded.
The deputy head of the Heimer Black Panther Mercenary Regiment was tall and mighty, dressed in a heavy steel rhinoceros armor, with a resolute complexion, bright eyes, and a small beard on his chin.
It was noon, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, and there was no place to cool down in the empty mountains. A group of porters pushed more than a dozen carts full of medicinal herbs, spirit stones, weapons and other objects, and the shirts on their backs were already soaked with sweat.
"Bai Lang, you go and arrange a few brothers to be on guard around" Looking around, Na Haimo still didn't seem to be at ease, and immediately shouted to the deputy beside him.
"Yes, captain" I saw Bai Lang leave in response.
On the other road, I saw a group of five people pushing two carts full of red dates and hurrying along the road.
A small vendor with a big belly and a rough gray shirt smiled apologetically, "I am really wronged that the two elders and the next one suffered this crime together."
"Where is the Mo family master, it's just a trip to Kanto City, and besides, with the relationship between the Mo family master and Elder Xie Qian, our brothers must still help this busy" The person who spoke was an old man in his fifties, who seemed to have a yellow face and thin muscles, a short stature, and a rickety back, but in fact, a pair of dark and deep eyes were as bright as a torch, which made people feel mysterious and unpredictable.
"What Brother Silva said is that his usual leisure time is also boring, so it is better to take a walk around this mountain scenery with Brother Mo haha" I saw that the middle-aged man with a medium and slightly fat body, a round face and small eyes, and a coarse green shirt said with a smile.
Hear the words
, Mo Dyed was full of pride, and gave a thumbs up and praised, "Elder Massif is really bold, Mo has heard of it a long time ago, and today I am proud to see it, and it is really worthy of the name, admiration, admiration, admiration, haha"
"Hey, if you want to say that you admire the little brother or the master of the Mo family, your trick of the golden cicada shelling is very good, haha" casually picked up two jujubes from the cart and threw them into the big mouth, and Matsefu did not shy away from saying that he said that he would throw away the goods, and he really did a lot of money, but it was a pity, the little lives of those mercenary dolls."
"Brother Masef said with a smile, reluctant to let the child trap the wolf and say that he is entrusted by others, loyal to people, these mercenaries take the money, and they don't lose it" His face sank, and Mo Ran squeezed out a reluctant smile with an embarrassed face and said.
Hearing this, Silva's face was gloomy like a look at Matseph, signaling him not to continue to expose the short
Maseph, who is a donkey-like man with a straight intestine, can swallow it back when it comes to his mouth. Seeing that Masef didn't seem to see Silva's eyes, he continued: "The Red Flame Golden Lion Beast embryo is a rare treasure, the world will be red when they see it, what the head of the Mo family said is extremely true, I can't bear the child, I can't hold the wolf, if there is no mercenary group to cover people's eyes and ears with great fanfare, as cannon fodder, I'm afraid that the person who conceived the ghost fetus last night will definitely not give up haha"
"It's still Brother Matsef who can see through and admire and admire"
In the Black Wind Village, a group of thieves sat on both sides of the meeting hall.
"Second son, you can rest assured about this, the brothers under the mountain who are wrapped in my Hu Liu have already placed eyeliner on the four necessary roads to Kanto City, no matter which way the old fox crosses the mountain from the ink dye, he can't escape from the palm of the master of the village haha"
The one who spoke just now was Hu Liu, the owner of the Black Wind Village, who was not good-looking, with a long scar on the left side of his face and the center of his left eyebrow. Only because its face is extremely black like charcoal, after it fell into the grass for the coke, the fire and the original owner of the village Zhao Qingming, and immediately changed the name of Qingfeng Village to Heifeng Village, Hu Liu, after taking charge of Heifeng Village, the means are extremely cruel, as long as the past merchants are single, not only loot property, but also leave a living. Therefore, there is a notorious bearded bear
"Hu Liu, my father, the Governor, has always been kind to you, and I will definitely reward you again after this time," Guo Yin said with an arrogant face.
"Then Hu Liu thanked the second son in advance here" I saw that although Hu Liu was sitting in the main seat of the conference hall, he stood up very respectfully and bowed his hand to thank him
Others don't know, but Hu Liu himself doesn't dare to offend the young second son of the Guo family in front of him. Although Hu Liu is usually violent and cruel, he now has to be docile like a dog. Because he smelled an extremely dangerous breath from the two mysterious old men sitting next to Guo Yin, shouting in front of absolute strength was tantamount to asking for his own death.
"Newspaper"
I only heard the high-pitched voice of a minion outside the conference hall far away, and immediately hurried into the hall to report on one knee.
"Say, what is the situation?"
"Report to the big boss, there is a team of men and horses who are resting about five miles north of the rocky hill at this time."
"Fuck, isn't that Huang Pi Tomb, why the hell are you a communication soldier who works so hard to speak?"
The grievances in his heart were nowhere to be sold, so Hu Liuhe had no choice but to catch a sentry and scold him.
"How many people and horses are carrying what treasures?"
"There are about more than a hundred people, these people are all wearing leather armor and combat boots, and the sergeants generally have about a dozen truckloads of equipment, and there are about a dozen truckloads of goods, it seems that they are all goods such as some spirit stones and medicinal materials."
"The second prince must be the old thief who dyed the ink, yes, this old thing must be worried that the treasure will be robbed, so he spent a lot of money to hire a group of mercenaries to protect it" A touch of viciousness flashed in his eyes, and Hu Liu scolded viciously.
"Elder Gu Yue, what do you think?"
Regarding Hu Liu's words, Guo Yin naturally just listened to them, and he didn't have the brains to play the position of relying only on bloodthirsty brute force, and he would finish playing sooner or later.
"It's true to spend a lot of money to hire mercenaries, but it's not necessarily for guards" I saw Gu Yue ponder for a moment, her face showed a wicked smile, and she continued: "It's just to attract the attention of all forces, maybe Old Man Mo is not in the team at this time, hehe"
"Silly Qiang, you take dozens of capable brothers to take a look first" Pointing to a tall man with a burly figure on the seat, Hu Liu commanded, "If you have something good, grab it for Lao Tzu, no matter what it is"
"It's the big boss, it's your words that I'm waiting for" I saw that the big man who was called stupid and strong took a step, carrying a pair of meteor sledgehammers on his thick shoulders, and strode out of the conference hall.
"Hu Liu, send a few more people to keep an eye on the other three mountain crossing roads, don't let go of a single fly" With a little ruthlessness in his tone, Guo Yin ordered with a gloomy face.
"Yes, Second Son"
On the other side, before the group of thieves led by Silly Qiang arrived at the Huangpi Tomb, there were already several waves of people who took the lead. There was a scuffle with Hemer's SEAL team beforehand. Seeing this scene, the upright stupid Qiang didn't think much about it, it was important to grab the goods, and immediately brandished a pair of meteor hammers to rampage through the crowd, and had already led dozens of thieves into the melee.
"Ancient, you are right, this ink dye doesn't seem to be a good thing, the life of a mercenary is not a life, alas, these people are so sad, they don't know when they die, they are used as cannon fodder by others" sighed, Qin Jiuyan shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"Under the heavy money, there must be a reckless man, hehe, the mercenary profession, only recognize money, not people, and do not know the overall situation, as long as there are enough interests to tempt it, you can buy it, this is also its sadness" As if he had experienced a similar situation before, the ancient smiled thoughtfully and indifferently.
"You guys fight slowly, the master won't be with you, hehe" Touching his nose, Qin Jiuyan looked at the group of people who were fighting hotly, and couldn't help but sneer.
"It seems that last night's wave of people had nothing to do with the thieves in this Black Wind Village" Rubbing his chin, Qin Jiuyan pondered for a moment and said, "Little master, I don't care what your relationship is, I'm only responsible for picking up leaks, hehe"
The corners of his mouth hooked up a sly arc, Qin Jiuyan condensed his spiritual power and spread out in the dantian blue wave meteor step, and his feet were suddenly as light as a swallow, and he swept towards the distance with great interest.
