44. Benefits to the organization
Everyone looked at Yan Ling blankly, did this woman take stimulants today?
"What a gift, hand it over. Fang Xin looked at the woman with flattering eyes, and the corners of his eyes twitched, and he said expressionlessly.
"Tsk, I haven't got it yet. Yan Ling leaned back in his chair and grinned.
"......" Fang Xin's face darkened, "Please pay attention to the occasion, inappropriate jokes will damage your interests." Fang Xin meant that the elder group would deduct resource tilt points because of her unreliability.
"What's the hurry, I'm not done yet. Yan Ling smiled, sorted out his appearance, and stood up very solemnly, "According to the rules of the organization, if there is a personal enmity between the top ten collaborative mercenaries, when organizing a meeting, the lower-ranked mercenaries can issue a life-and-death battle to the other party, and the losing side will lose the mercenary qualification, all forces will be assigned to the organization, and the life and death of the loser will be decided by the winner." Director Fang, I'm not mistaken. ”
“...... Be. "Fang Xin doesn't know what the hell Yan Ling is doing? Do you want to directly challenge Zhu Li? The response of the cooperative mercenaries involves not only himself, but also his companions. As far as Ge Xiaoxi's combat power comes to power, it is basically a second goods, even if Yan Ling is very powerful, it is a bit unrealistic to defeat the alliance of Jin Fangshou and Zhu Li, which is determined by the rules of the ranking of cooperative mercenaries.
Although the sphere of influence of the cooperative mercenary is very important, the personal strength of the mercenary is indeed a prerequisite for the ranking, after all, the power of the cooperative mercenary is not allowed to stay in the battalion, so if the mercenary's personal strength is not good, but the power is huge, it is simply a crime, and it will become the prey of the cooperative mercenary with stronger personal strength and backward sphere of influence. Large-scale turmoil within the mercenary will hinder the stability of the organization, and the organization will naturally not allow this situation to exist, so the cooperative mercenaries who can be ranked in front are undoubtedly strong in their individual strength, or the comprehensive strength of the two is strong, and they will not be easily shaken by the lower-level mercenaries. For example, Yan Ling, although his personal ability is very strong, and he is a sacrifice in Wugu Village, his personal rating is very high, but Ge Xiaoxi's existence has lowered Yan Ling's comprehensive strength in cooperating with mercenaries, that is, Yan Ling has a tough temperament and strange methods, and others are easily unwilling to provoke, otherwise her and Ge Xiaoxi's life would not be so stable for a long time.
Now that Yan Ling wanted to defeat Zhu Li and Jin Fangshou alone, it was impossible for the two powerful mercenaries! Could it be that he wanted to use Lu Jun? Fang Xin's gaze swept over the personal mercenary seat. But Yan Ling didn't submit the application for the increase of the position of the companion, and Lu Jun couldn't play at all! What's more, even if Yan Ling is prepared and sure that he can win Zhu Li and Jin Fangshou, he can only get the right to dispose of Zhu Li and Jin Fangshou's life and death, but their forces are all assigned to the organization, this kind of momentary pleasure and nothing is done at all, so that since the establishment of this method of resolving personal enmity at public meetings, no collaborative mercenary will do it at all, Fang Xin looked at Yan Ling strangely, this woman has never done loss-making business, what the hell is this doing today?
"That's good, I'll ......" After listening to Fang Xin's reply, Yan Ling shook his wrist, and just wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Li Wenshan and Ge Xiaoxi.
"Lord!" Ge Xiaoxi grabbed Yan Ling's hand tightly.
"Yan Ling, let's talk about it after you think about it!" Li Wenshan had a rare fierce momentum.
"Lord, this is Lord Ling's private matter. Before Yan Ling could speak, Xiang Qian grabbed Li Wenshan, frowning and disapproving of Li Wenshan's interjection at this time.
"Presumptuous!" At such a grim moment, where could Li Wenshan let Yan Ling go! Xiang Qian's posture made her very dissatisfied, and as soon as she changed her usual weak and gentle appearance, she raised her hand and slapped Xiang Qian. Li Wenshan's fierce sovereign momentum couldn't help but stunned Yan Ling, Ge Xiaoxi, Xiang Kun and other people in the camp, and even Xiang Qian himself didn't expect Li Wenshan to beat him in front of everyone.
"The Lord is angry!" Xiang Kun quickly reacted and carefully tugged at Li Wenshan's clothes.
"The lord is angry, and he still has to say what Xiang Qian should say. Xiang Qian raised his head and looked at Li Wenshan seriously, insisting on not backing down. In Xiang Qian's view, no matter whether Yan Ling is really ready to argue with Zhu Li and Jin Fang, they should not openly interfere or show that they are on Yan Ling's side, because doing so will involve their own side in the whirlpool of war, which is really not the best policy.
"You ——!" Li Wenshan didn't expect that Xiang Qian, who had always been tolerant of herself, would openly rebel against herself on an occasion like today, not to mention that this matter involved her best friend, yes, her angry hand was raised and waved towards Xiang Qian. Everyone in the audience looked at it in shock or mockery.
"Alas, don't be angry, I haven't planned to die. Yan Ling hurriedly grabbed Li Wenshan's hand to appease. Joke, this slap goes down, Uncle Qian still doesn't settle the account on her head!
"Heh, if the lord is like you, it is better to find a piece of tofu and kill him. Zhu Li looked at the farce here, sneered, and directly ushered in Xiang Qian's deep black eyes.
"Oh, I'm happy to spoil him lawlessly, and Lord Li's mind is too wide. Even if Li Wenshan was angry, she would not be provoked by Zhu Li at such a time, she replied with a sneer, turned her head to look at Yan Ling and said, "You'd better know in your heart, I don't want to go to your grave every year today!"
"Hehe, I only accept real money, and paper money should be left for others. Yan Ling smiled, turned his head to look at Fang Xin and the elders and ministers who were waiting patiently, and sighed in his heart, his good momentum was destroyed.
"What do you want to do?" Seeing the commotion made by the collaborative mercenaries, You Yanbei frowned and asked Lu Jun. After all, if Yan Ling is involved in troubled water, it will be difficult for Lu Jun to be clean.
"I don't know. Lu Jun looked at Yan Ling and said lightly. Lu Jun was actually angry in his heart, whenever Yan Ling made any big decisions, whether it was before or now, he had never been informed in advance!
"......" You Yanbei looked at the calm Lu Jun and rolled his eyes, are you the husband of that bastard?
"Ahem, I'm sorry for the delay. Yan Ling pretended to clear his throat and continued the topic just now, "I want to ask the chiefs, can the leader of the single force under the mercenary directly participate in the challenge?"
"What do you want to say?" Fang Xin frowned, what did this guy want to do?
"May I ask Director Fang, how many of the remnants of blood you saw just now can be ranked according to the rating criteria of the organization's cooperative mercenaries?" Yan Ling asked with a smile.
"200 people away. Fang Xin thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, Biluo, the remnant blood leader under Yan Ling's seat, launched a life-and-death battle post to Lord Zhou Jiani, and asked Lord Ni to take a look. Yan Ling said and took out a black challenge card from his suit pocket, and the bright red life and death sticker occupied the center of the card, which was extremely dazzling.
Hearing Biluo's name, Lu Jun's eyes flashed in front of the woman who was dressed in black and covered tightly. That's right, isn't the symbol of residual blood just now owned by the mysterious group of black-clothed people I saw when I was in Xuan!
"Snort, Yan Ling, have your brains burned out? Residual blood is just a subordinate organization of yours, and does not belong to a mercenary, what qualifications do you have to challenge me?" Zhou Jiani didn't expect that Yan Ling's spearhead would be pointed at her, or use a subordinate organization to challenge her! Even if Zhou Jiani's strength is not as good as Yan Ling, she is also a mercenary at the top of the ranking, and Yan Ling dares to let a small leader challenge a group of mercenaries, which shows that the strength of this leader is definitely better than her in Yan Ling's opinion, Zhou Jiani and Xiao Yiming's team. Zhou Jiani still attaches great importance to the safety of her own life, how can she agree with Yan Ling's opportunistic approach.
"Tsk, since I, the master of the organization, am not my subordinates anymore? Director Fang, do you say that Remnant Blood is a member of the mercenaries?"
"This ......" Fang Xin couldn't answer, it is said that the mercenary subordinate organizations are also part of the organization, but the overstepping challenge does only involve the relevant lords and companions, and does not involve the subordinate organizations.
"Tsk, if it weren't for being a high-ranking mercenary, I wouldn't be able to challenge Lord Ni, who would pick the leader of an organization to fight? I will also suffer a loss for this kind of behavior! I only send one of my leaders to fight, and I don't require that Lord Ni can only fight alone, is it true that Lord Ni, as a high-ranking mercenary who has received strict training from the organization, is still afraid of my leader? It's a joke!" Yan Ling said aggressively.
Zhou Jiani sneered: "Yan Ling, this is a matter of principle, if you want to change it, why should I ignore your rude request!"
Yan Ling raised his eyebrows, no longer paid attention to Zhou Jiani, and looked directly at the elder group in front of him and said, "Since the establishment of our organization, what we have paid attention to is the respect of strength. I don't deny that Biluo is indeed strong, not much better than Yan Ling, but no matter how you say it, it is just one person, and the combination of Zhini and Xiao Yiming really does not take advantage. ”
"Snort. After Yan Ling finished speaking, Zhou Jiani sneered disdainfully, "No matter how good Lord Ling said, it can't change the fact that it violates the principles of the organization. ”
Seeing that the other mercenaries agreed with Zhou Jiani's statement, Yan Ling didn't care, and said to Zhou Jiani with a smile: "Don't you think that Yan Ling has no other way to clean you up than to challenge you at the rally? You should know that I want you to die, there are a hundred ways to implement it in private, and it is absolutely within the scope of the organization's permission." ”
Zhou Jiani looked at Yan Ling with an ugly face and didn't speak, because what Yan Ling said was the truth, and this kind of thing was too normal in the organization.
Yan Ling smiled, looked at the many elders in the upper position and said, "Yan Ling acted a lot of rebellion, but he was not arrogant enough to lose his mind. The reason why I chose this method to challenge the Lord today is just to end an old matter in a righteous and bright way. The revenge of his subordinates, as the master, Yan Ling intends to fulfill it, and if the organization agrees to my challenge, Yan Ling is willing to establish a basis here. If Biluo loses, it is equivalent to my defeat, and all the consequences will be borne by me Yan Ling. I and my retainers are at the mercy of the Lord, and all the forces under my throne, including affiliated organizations, are also under the control of the organization. In this way, no matter what the outcome of the battle between me and Lord Ni is, the organization will benefit, so why not the elders?"
After Yan Ling finished speaking, the audience was a lot quieter, and in front of interests, the Council of Elders would not necessarily frame the so-called principles.
"Well, let me wait a moment. Great Elder Chu Guorong said in a deep voice.
The group of elders gathered again and discussed it.
Yan Ling was not worried at all that the organization would disagree. Up to now, there is no possibility of turning enemies into friends between her and Zhou Jiani, even if they can't challenge today, they will see each other again. For the organization, the imminent loss of a group of mercenaries is already a certainty, so it is naturally better to directly receive the benefits into the hands of the organization. Isn't it just the leader of the mercenary's subordinates who is offside to challenge the mercenary? After all, she is still the person of the organization, and no one will push the interests out of the door, so she has a good time to sit in her position and wait for the result of the elders' meeting.
"My lord. Ge Xiaoxi looked at Yan Ling and grabbed Yan Ling's arm.
"What's the matter, you don't know Biluo, why don't you have confidence in her?" Yan Ling held Ge Xiaoxi's hand and touched it with a smile.
"No, I ......" Ge Xiaoxi naturally knew Biluo's ability, but the stakes were too big, and he was a little nervous.
"It's okay, I'll protect you no matter what. Yan Ling gently comforted him, thought about it and said with a smile: "If I really die, you have to give me martyrdom, my rabbit is so cute, it has been ruined, I can't cheat the corpse!"
"Bah, no taboos!" Ge Xiaoxi almost cried, and hugged Yan Ling in his arms, tightly. He made up his mind that if Biluo really mishaps, he would cut himself off and would never be caught and tortured by others.
"Huh. Yan Ling patted Ge Xiaoxi's back amusefully, and met Lu Jun's dark eyes on the other side. It was the first time Yan Ling had seen Lu Jun's eyes so deep, and his pupils were black as if he was about to devour everything. Yan Ling knew that Lu Jun was unhappy, but this was not the first time she had done things without him, Yan Ling smiled and turned her head away, ignoring him no longer.
"Heh, it's not bad that he doesn't give you a name, for example, this time, it won't be able to kill you. You Yanbei said mockingly.
Lu Jun looked at the two people hugging each other over there with deep eyes, and said lightly: "Do you think she will do things that she is not sure of?" But in his heart, he thought about who Biluo was? Is Yan Ling really sure? Why does this woman always hide from him in big things? Is it distrust, or is it because of something else?
You Yanbei sneered: "Yan Ling is very unreliable, I don't think she can achieve her goal every time, and look at where this Biluo is sacred!"
"Are you sure?" asked Li Wenshan worriedly. The other people also looked at her together, and they couldn't figure out what kind of reputation Yan Ling was doing, and what kind of role this bloody leader could make Yan Ling make such a big bet?
Yan Ling didn't answer Li Wenshan, but just patted her hand.
After a while, Fang Xin received the message from the elder group, and said aloud: "Master Ling, according to the requirements of the organization, Biluo's personal ability needs to be checked. ”
Yan Ling said with a smile: "Yes, Director Fang will send someone to take Biluo to the trial ground to check." ”
For the next half hour, everyone on the field waited quietly.
Zhou Jiani knows her own situation. She and Xiao Yiming are halfway husband and wife, and most of the subordinate power they enjoy now is left by Xiao Yiming and his former lord, and she has completely eaten a ready-made meal. Although she has eaten away at these organizations a lot over the years, her henchmen have not yet grown up, and the old man has separated from her, and now it is an important moment for the integration of green and yellow power. Their current position has been maintained by relying entirely on their old roots for the past two years, and the people of the Elder Body are well aware of these situations. Usually, the people of the Elder Group tried to encroach on her power, but at this time, under the temptation of Yan Ling, a high-level mercenary with strong momentum, it was very likely that the Elder Group would force her to fight, so as to openly occupy the long-coveted interests. Yes, Zhou Jiani's face was very bad, and her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at Yan Ling.
"I don't think I've offended Lord Ling anywhere, let alone dealing with your subordinates, isn't Lord Ling trying to curb Lord Li by suppressing me?" Zhou Jiani asked Yan Ling in a calm tone.
Yan Ling glanced at Zhou Jiani with disdain when she heard this, and sneered: "Do you want Lord Li to give you a head?"
Zhou Jiani frowned slightly and was silent, Zhu Li turned her head to look at Yan Ling, her eyes were poisonous, "You provoke me?"
Yan Ling said amusefully and innocently: "Isn't what I said the truth?"
"Yan Ling, you speak carefully. Jin Fangshou's cold face was stained with displeasure.
Yan Ling glanced at Jin Fangshou and said strangely: "What's wrong, didn't you cover the sky with one hand in the Eastern Emperor's group, or did Brother Fang Shou also learn to refer to deer as horses?"
"You are presumptuous!" Zhu Li was swept away by Yan Ling, and scolded in an angry whisper.
"Heh, if I want to be presumptuous, what can you bear with me?" Yan Ling looked at Zhu Li with disdain from the corner of his eyes, looking sluggish and disgusted.
"You ——!" Zhu Li's gorgeous face was deformed, her eyes were on fire, and she was about to teach Yan Ling a lesson regardless of the occasion.
Jin Fangshou hugged Zhu Li in his arms, controlled the rampaging Zhu Li, and said firmly and irrefutably, "The lord is angry!"
After Zhu Li calmed down a little, Jin Fangshou looked up at Yan Ling, his eyes were frosty, and he said seriously and calmly: "You really want to provoke me?"
Yan Ling swept Jin Fangshou's face and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Lord Li doesn't come to provoke me, and I don't have the time to worry about Jin Ye's family affairs, Jin Ye still coaxes Lord Li, don't come out of the way, after all, Yan Ling's lack of attention is well known in the organization, why bother to find it unpleasant for no reason?"
"Hmph!" Jin Fangshou snorted coldly, his eyes swept to Zhou Jiani, and said lightly: "Please solve the matter of Lord Ni by yourself, don't try to drag my lord into the water." ”
Hearing this, Yan Ling hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, while Zhou Jiani was annoyed and angry, with an embarrassed face.
The surrounding cooperative mercenaries watched the fire from the other side, and the scene was very quiet.
The individual mercenary department discussed the riots in the cooperative mercenary department in twos and threes. Lu Jun just listened lightly, glanced at Yan Ling's direction from time to time, didn't have too many expressions, and didn't make any comments.
After a few more moments, the Council of Elders agreed.
"After the unanimous consent of the elder group, it was agreed that the remnants of blood would challenge Zhou Jiani. As soon as Fang Xin announced the opinions of the elder group, there was a sudden silence below, Fang Xin looked around, and said, "After this incident, the rules of the cross-level challenge of cooperative mercenaries allow the leader of the direct subordinate organization of the upper-level mercenary to challenge the lower-level mercenary on behalf of the subordinate sovereign, but the direct subordinate organizations participating in the challenge must be rated below 200 according to the mercenary standard, and the difference between the ranks of the two sides of the challenge shall not be greater than 3 ranks, and the results of the battle of the subordinate organizations shall be borne by the direct sovereign." Now the meeting is suspended, and the challenge platform is raised!"
As soon as Fang Xin's voice fell, the conference podium, which was originally arranged in the middle, moved to the left, and a 15-square-meter challenge platform rose from the center of the meeting in the buzzing sound of organ operation, not giving Zhou Jiani a chance to refute at all.
It was also expected by Yan Ling that the elder group would restrict the upper-level mercenaries from using this method to deal with the lower-level mercenaries, after all, the upper-level mercenaries enjoy more organizational resources, and the strength of the people who can often achieve the leaders of the subordinate organizations will not be bad, if they are not restricted, I am afraid that the upper-level mercenaries will unscrupulously suppress the lower-level mercenaries, which is not conducive to the development of the organization. Yan Ling looked at the slowly rising battle platform, and said loudly: "Trouble the waiter to open the door and let my people in." ”
At Fang Xin's signal, the waiter opened the door of the conference hall. After a while, crisp footsteps sounded in the quiet Hall of Glory, from far and near, not slow, leading everyone to look towards the door.
A group of more than 30 people appeared at the door, all wrapped from head to toe, black pressed to one side, and the fine red embellishments on the face towel seemed to splash blood, looking extremely bloody. The leader was dressed in a slightly different way, wearing a black tight leather coat embroidered with a residual blood badge on his arms, knee-high boots with a black red bottom, short messy hair, covering his eyes in fine pieces, wearing a black delicate mask, and a very tall and curvy figure, a woman. She carried a thin three-edged/military thorn in her hand and led the group to the front of the conference hall step by step.
"Sure enough, it's her?" looked at the group of people who entered the hall, Lu Jun muttered.
"Do you know?" You Yanbei asked Lu Jun.
Lu Jun nodded, "When Yan Ling opened up the northern border, I met her once, and I heard that her strength is very strong. ”
"Miss. Biluo walked up to Yan Ling and bowed slightly.
"Go ahead. Yan Ling didn't say any nonsense, and lightly, he didn't seem to take this battle seriously at all.
"Yes. Biluo nodded, turned and walked to the opposite platform, and the people she brought with her hula surrounded the entire platform at once.
“?” The crowd was amazed, what does this mean?
"Hehe, don't think about it, it's not interesting, I'm afraid that some people won't keep the agreement. Yan Ling smiled lightly.
"......" Fang Xin frowned and glanced at Yan Ling, but he didn't stop it.
"Please, Lord Ni, time is still precious. Yan Ling turned his head to look at Zhou Jiani, who was sitting next to him with a cold face.
"Does Lord Ling really want to do this?" Zhou Jiani didn't reply, but Xiao Yiming asked coldly.
"Idiot!" Yan Ling looked at him, sighed inexplicably, and then said to Zhou Jiani, "If you don't dare, you will admit defeat directly." ”
"Hmph!" Zhou Jiani glanced at Yan Ling coldly, got up and took off the suit jacket on her body.
"Lord ......" Xiao Yiming had the heart to persuade her, although there were two of them here, but since Yan Ling dared to do this, it must not be a whim to seek excitement, although it is a shame to bow his head here, it is better than losing his life.
Who knew that Xiao Yiming had not had time to finish speaking, but he ushered in a fierce slap from Zhou Jiani, and it really took ten percent of his strength, and Xiao Yiming's ears buzzed straight away.
Zhou Jiani pulled Xiao Yiming's collar and whispered: "If you weren't always cold to Ge Xiaoxi, why would you have caused me such a disaster, you just pray that we can win, otherwise I won't be able to live, and you won't be comfortable." ”
Xiao Yiming lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly, his heart was bitter and unspeakable, but he thought stupidly, desperately trying to protect his lord!
Zhou Jiani let go of Xiao Yiming, glanced at Yan Ling and walked towards the battle platform, Xiao Yiming cleaned up his mood and hurriedly followed.
The people around knew that Zhou Jiani didn't like Xiao Yiming, and often abused him, so he was used to this scene.
"Hmph, Zhou Jiani is so virtuous, I don't know which tendon Xiao Yiming took a wrong look at her. Li Wenshan sneered, when he went to the battlefield, he didn't care about his companions, but he still scolded him, and there was no bone left.
"Everything has a cause and effect, but the world does not know everything. Yan Ling sighed inexplicably.
