Chapter 180: The City of Mercenaries
"Hey, boy, who are you, how did you hide here?" asked a big man from a mercenary group pointing a knife at Xu Hao.
Xu Hao frowned secretly, this mercenary actually dared to point at him with a knife, but if you think about it carefully, you have already covered your own cultivation with your spiritual sense, how can you see through their own reality with their strength, Xu Hao felt a little interesting, and it was just right to find out the news from them, so let the pretending cowardly look and said timidly: "Each ...... Ladies and gentlemen, I am a casual cultivator, I am going to Niangzi Pass to have a long experience, and then I met you fighting, your cultivation is so profound, I was scared so I hid. ”
The mercenary spirit swept away and found that Xu Hao was only a monk of the eighth layer of the Dongtian Realm, and he was immediately relieved, he laughed and said: "It turned out to be a small casual cultivator who doesn't know the height of the sky, so let's do it, you will follow our hyena mercenary group from now on, we go south and north every day, and we will definitely be able to gain a lot of knowledge." The mercenary said.
"This ......" Xu Hao showed an embarrassed look, in fact, he had already guessed what these people thought, in the fight just now, this mercenary group also lost a lot of people, and now seeing their cultivation, I am afraid that they have a heart to collect, if they reject them, they will definitely take action against themselves immediately.
"What's this, that, it's decided, you are a member of our hyena mercenary group, it just so happens that we are also going to Niangzi Pass, you can be much safer with us, and the distance will be shortened by more than half." The mercenary walked over directly and hugged Xu Hao and said.
"Well, in that case, well, I'll join our hyena mercenary group. Xu Hao pretended to be wooden and said.
"Hahaha, that's it, joining us must be the right decision for you!" The mercenaries laughed, not at all sad for the dead people just now, on the contrary, the people of the mercenary group also took the initiative to collect the storage bags of the dead people, and their bodies were burned on the spot.
Xu Hao's eyes shrank fiercely, these guys are a group of outlaws, it's okay if their companions die, but they will share a little more, Xu Hao actually felt the cruelty of the outside world for the first time.
Xu Hao and these people from the mercenary group rested for a while and then continued to walk towards the lady, speaking of which, the people of these mercenary groups do have their own set of methods, they can even use hyenas as mounts, these hyenas are not only powerful, but also very fast to run, without Xu Hao flying with all his strength, and without losing any aura, which makes Xu Hao secretly surprised.
And along the way, Xu Hao also inquired about a lot of things from the mouths of those mercenaries, first of all, Niangzi Pass, which has a long history, and there is a city lord among them, the city lord is very mysterious, no one has seen his true face, and I don't know whether it is a man or a woman, but the strength of Niangzi Pass is still undoubted, there is a very powerful army in it, each of which is illegal, and the six major commanders are all the strength of the Spirit Realm.
This also reminded Xu Hao of the introduction of Niangziguan that he saw in the Zongmen's Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, this Niangziguan belongs to the gateway of Northern Xinjiang and Zhongzhou, just in the middle of the two, he has always declared neutrality to the outside world, does not belong to Zhongzhou or Northern Xinjiang, even if this Northern Xinjiang War has not affected them, and this Niangzi Pass also has another name, that is, the city of mercenaries,
These mercenaries come from all over the world, and the purpose is one, that is, to come to this Niangzi Pass, because there is a decree in Niangzi Pass, that is, no one is allowed to fight in the city, so many people who have committed big crimes will come here to hide.
There are also some forces who don't believe in evil and want to arrest people in Niangziguan, but they are all killed by the army of Niangziguan without hesitation, I don't know what happened to those sects, but Niangziguan is still standing for so many years.
This has led to the accumulation of a large number of big prisoners in Niangziguan, but this Niangziguan is not free to live, if there is no permanent residence token of Niangziguan, then stay in Niangziguan to pay a hundred spirit stones every day, and this hundred spirit stones do not include the cost of accommodation, the monks can open the valley, but accommodation is a problem, any private house in Niangzi Pass has to cost tens of millions of spirit stones, who can take it out of ordinary people? Therefore, most people live in rented houses, and even if they have their own house, they can't get a permanent residence token, and that small piece of token is much more expensive than a house.
Therefore, this mercenary group like Xu Hao's one will stay for a day at most after entering Niangzi Pass, and they will have to leave after selling all kinds of things, because more than 20 of them will stay in the city for more than 2,000 spirit stones a day, and they don't have so much money to spend on it.
The hyenas and monsters under him ran very fast, everyone began to hurry in the early morning, and finally arrived at Niangzi Pass before evening, the captain of this small mercenary group was named Wang Ergou, and his cultivation had reached the eighth layer of the chakra realm, and when everyone arrived at Niangzi Pass a hundred miles away, everyone got down from the back of the hyena, and Wang Ergou waved his hand at the hyenas, and a large group of hyenas ran away with a whin.
Wang Ergou said to Xu Hao: "This demon beast can't be brought to the city, their price is much more expensive than a person." Xu Hao nodded when he heard this.
That Wang Ergou was obviously very familiar with the defenders of Niangzi Pass, and he and one of the guards said warmly: "Brother Li, you are on duty today? Brother, I will go into the city this time to sell some goods, if you have time in the evening, come to Lichun Tavern to drink some." ”
"It's easy to say, I'll definitely go tonight, this time we won't get drunk and won't return. The guard laughed and patted Wang Ergou on the shoulder and said.
Xu Hao saw clearly, they were a group of twenty-two people, and the defenders only received two thousand spirit stones, and sure enough, the county officials were not as good as taking care of them now, Xu Hao smiled, this time following their group of people not only saved some trouble, but even the entrance fee was paid by the king and the second dog, and it was really not wrong to go with them.
At this time, Xu Hao officially saw the appearance of Niangzi Pass, the Niangzi Pass is about 100 zhang high, nearly 1,000 zhang long, the city gate alone is more than ten zhang high, and the entire city wall is completely made of green bricks, looking from afar like a tiger crawling on the ground, people can't help but feel angry and shocked in their hearts, it is unimaginable to build such a huge city.
Xu Hao looked again, only to see that there was an endless stream of people entering the city, and the people queuing behind them were lined up, and those in front of them were also very long, one hundred spirit stones per person, Xu Hao roughly estimated, just the entrance fee of so many people, this lady can earn millions of spirit stones in one day, this is really fucking money.
Entering the city, the scene in front of him shocked Xu Hao even more, only to see that the city was full of pavilions and pavilions, people came and went everywhere, and there were countless vendors in various shops on the street, all kinds of pills, talismans, materials, elixirs, and even women's furnaces were sold
, There are a lot of mercenaries in the city, and the addition of Xu Hao and others is almost just a drop of water added to the sea.
A member of the mercenary group patted Xu Hao's head and said, "Let's go, it's like a hillbilly entering the city." Another mercenary laughed and said, "Sixth, you are not as good as him when you first entered the Niangzi Pass." ”
"Yes, the sixth brother was going to kneel down at the beginning, hahaha. All the mercenaries laughed, but the mercenary was not annoyed, and he said, "This lady is so majestic, I was just heroic at that time." ”
Everyone went straight to a store along the way, these people were obviously familiar with the road, there was no such thing as getting lost along the way, and after walking for a while, they arrived at a store, Xu Hao was happy when he saw the name of the store, and saw that the plaque read: "Liuyue Business Alliance".
This Liuyue Business Alliance itself went to it once, and there is still one of their VIP tokens in their storage bag, but I didn't expect them to have such a big store in this Niangziguan, which is really a big deal.
Wang Ergou went straight to the counter as soon as they entered, they discussed with the people at the counter for a long time, after some bargaining, the two sides reached a consensus, Wang Ergou took out the corpses of various demon beasts, most of them were some first-order and second-order demon beasts, but there were a lot of them, and the little guy of the Liuyue Business Alliance swept his eyes and made the price clear, he skillfully put away those things, and then handed Wang Ergou a storage bag, Wang Ergou knew that the number was correct with a sweep of his spiritual sense, he thanked him and left with everyone.
Xu Hao didn't speak along the way, he was thinking about how he should find a time to leave, as for the things they sold just now, Xu Hao didn't think about it, those things sold at most 100,000 spirit stones, and there were many of these things in Xu Hao's storage bag, so they were not rare.
Following Wang Ergou and they walked into an alley, in the depths of the alley actually hid a Lichun tavern, the tavern is very small, the proprietress is a charm of the half-aged, she saw Wang Ergou and their arrival immediately piled up a smile and said with a smile: "Oh, Ergou, you are here, I have been waiting for you for half a month, the wine and food have already been prepared, you sit down quickly." The half-old suddenly ran forward and hugged Wang Ergou's arm, and at the same time pretended to be casual and rubbed her chest on Wang Ergou's arm.
The Wang Ergou laughed and said: "Sister Liu, it seems that you really miss me, okay, tonight I will let you know that our brother is powerful, now bring good wine and good food first, and then talk to you when the brothers are full of food and drink." Saying that, Wang Ergou hooked the face of the female boss and took a hard bite.
"Oh, you're bad!" The female boss pretended to be shy and pushed Wang Ergou, the action was extremely contrived, and the truth was that this boss lady would serve her no matter who came.
"Hahahaha!" The mercenaries laughed, this is their life, fight with those demon beasts with their lives, if they die, they will die, and if they can't die, they will earn some spirit stones to enjoy life, and they will enjoy a glass of wine before they die, why should they be famous for thousands of years after their deaths, this is the idea of these mercenaries, and it is also a kind of heroism in a certain way.
Everyone went in and sat down, there were not many tables in the tavern, and the mercenaries skillfully put together the tables, and the proprietress pulled the clothes that were almost torn off by the mercenaries and walked into the back to prepare for food, while the mercenaries went directly to the wall and brought the wine from the big altar and drank it.
