Wuyi Mountain, Qi Baishan and other nine major sects in the rivers and lakes are qualified to participate in the internal affairs of the empire, and in extraordinary times, the empire has to consult with the nine major factions. In some things, if you can't get the nod of the Nine Great Sects, then you can't implement it, and from this point of view, the empire and the disciples of the Nine Great Sects should be very close.

But in reality this is not the case.

Jianghu and Empire are two camps of different natures.

In normal times, the disciples of the Nine Great Sects deliberately kept a distance from the various families of the Great Xia Empire.

Now it seems that the relationship between the two disciples of Wuyi Mountain and the people of the gluttonous mercenary group does not seem to get along very well.

The name of the gluttonous mercenary group is still too unfamiliar to a fledgling kid like Lin Youyue.

He didn't know what had happened to the mercenary group.

But everyone who walks the rivers and lakes is familiar with the five words gluttonous mercenary group, and even to the point that the color of the conversation has changed.

The gluttonous mercenary group was originally a mercenary group directly under the Dongmu family, one of the four major families of the Great Xia Empire.

Its precise definition is a family private army, not within the military power of the Great Xia Empire.

In other words, this mercenary group only obeys the orders of the Togi family, and even if the imperial family personally orders it, it cannot be mobilized, and they fight for the family.

There are hundreds of mercenary groups in the Great Xia Empire, and the most gluttonous mercenary group is the largest mercenary group, and there is no one.

The mercenary group has more than 10,000 members, and they are respected by strength, and the selection system is the most harsh, and almost all of the people who can stay here are the elite of the men of the Great Xia Empire.

Someone once compared that if the mercenaries of the gluttonous mercenary group are the eagles in the sky, then the other armies of the empire are the rats on the ground, and they can defeat five or six imperial soldiers by casually taking out a soldier in the gluttonous mercenary group. This is no joke.

Just looking at the cost of the Dongmu family on this mercenary group, you can't see the combat effectiveness of this mercenary group.

The gluttonous mercenary group is well-equipped, all the weapons are made by the Imperial Huadu factory, and the weapons, including armor, must not be lower than the third grade, such a configuration even far exceeds the Imperial City Guard.

One of the most famous battles of this mercenary group is probably the suppression of a rebellion within the territory of the Togi family.

In that year, in the fiefdom of the Dongmu family, disasters fell from the sky, and there was a year of great famine, mourning was everywhere, and the people were struggling to make a living, which led to rebellions in several towns and towns, and tens of thousands of farmers rose up, touching the core interests of the Dongmu family.

The Great Xia Empire was at war with the Demon Domain at that time, and ordered the Dongmu family to deal with the matter on their own, and did not send troops to suppress it.

In that environment at that time, the Dongmu family was not the same force as it is now, and there were no soldiers in their hands, so they opened the prison and released 5,000 death row inmates.

These 5,000 death row prisoners are the basic prototype of the gluttonous mercenary group.

This newly formed army, without any training, fought with the rebel army in the area of the Liao River.

What people never expected was that overnight, all 100,000 people of the rebel peasant army were wiped out, and the corpses were floating for ten miles, and the blood flowed like a river, and no one survived.

This battle, until today, has been written into the history books of the empire, called - the death of the Liao River.

Since then, the name of this mercenary group has gradually entered people's field of vision, and it is known as the mercenary group.

In the following years, the gluttonous mercenary group has carried out large-scale expansion and talent selection several times, and many people have entered the gluttonous mercenary group.

Even across the country, other families, vying to follow suit, have also formed their own corps.

In the development of hundreds of years, the gluttonous mercenary group has participated in many battles between the empire and the demon realm, and has made great achievements.

In recent years, the power of the gluttonous mercenary group has continued to expand, and its nature has also changed subtly.

In addition to protecting the local core interests of the Tomu family, the mercenary group also earns funds for the Toki family, which has become one of the industries from which the Tomu family comes from.

This is the current mercenary group economic model.

Gluttonous mercenary groups began to open up to the outside world, gradually accepting commissions from employers to earn bounties for tasks and actions such as assassination, escort, conquest, and so on.

As the reputation of the gluttonous mercenary group grew, the quest was expensive, but it never missed.

Last time, Meng Derang his cronies contacted the gluttonous mercenary group to deal with Lin Youyue, just because he liked the point of "never missing".

As for why the gluttonous mercenary group hadn't troubled Lin Demon Moon in the past three years, it was because they hadn't accepted this task at that time.

The manager of the gluttonous mercenary group didn't want to offend Qi Baishan because of a small bounty.

Compared with Qi Baishan, the Dongmu family and the gluttonous mercenary group are still dwarfed.

This time, the gluttonous mercenary group suddenly appeared here, maybe it was the action of the Dongmu family, or it could be hired by some people.

This has nothing to do with protecting the people, it is just an excuse to cover up.

What the hell is that evil spirit, and what is its significance?

Only the disciples of Wuyi Mountain know it most clearly in their hearts.

The reason why Wuyi Mountain sent so many outstanding disciples down the mountain was for an obvious purpose, which was to bring back the scattered evil spirits as soon as possible under the imminent movement of the major forces.

The gluttonous mercenary group suddenly came to intervene, which made the disciples of Wuyi Mountain feel unhappy.

In the face of the Dongmu family, which is one of the best in the Great Xia Empire, even Wuyi Mountain, it is impossible not to take the gluttonous mercenary group in his eyes.

The dialogue between the disciples of Wuyi Mountain and Zhang Yan was not rude and polite on the surface, but in fact it was-for-tat and sarcastic to each other.

In reality, there is actually a situation of struggle between various forces.

Even the Nine Great Sects are the same, they have to compete with each other for the only resources they have, provide for self-development, and survive forever.

However, the various forces cannot easily start a war, because it is related to the "law of survival"

At the beginning, Wuyi Mountain had a war with Qi Baishan because of the competition for the first sect of martial arts, and the war lasted for several years, consuming a lot of vitality on both sides, and finally suffered a great loss of vitality, the Demon Domain took the opportunity to enter, and the empire was defeated, which stopped the war.

"Let me introduce myself first, contemptible Zhang Yan, gluttonous mercenary group, a squad leader under the Second Guard, these are my brothers behind me, I am very happy to meet friends from Wuyishan here, I am a person, I just like to make friends, I don't know what the names of the two Wuyishan friends are...?"

Zhang Yan walked up to Wuyi Mountain Xiaosheng, stretched out his broad palm, and hugged his fists.

It was a calloused palm, and it didn't feel like it was his age.

Those calluses were the marks left by the slaughter of the sword in his hand, and people could smell the blood on the palm of his hand, as if they had seen a bloody scene.

Although it was fake enthusiasm, Wuyishan Xiaosheng still wanted to give the other party a face, and suddenly smiled: "My name is Yan Hao, and this is my little junior sister next to me, Qiong Ling." ”

Yan Hao also hugged Zhang Yan with a fist, which was the usual way for people in the rivers and lakes to show friendly greetings.

"This is a family matter in Wuyishan, and I don't want outsiders to interfere. Qiong Ling said coldly on the side, she didn't plan to give Zhang Yan any face.

Zhang Yan didn't get angry, but smiled and said: "Girl, this is bad, we also received orders, soldiers, it is our duty to obey orders, it seems that we have to intervene, then we have to see, who can find the evil spirit first." ”

"This is natural, and I don't intend to stop you, but I'm advising you, it's better to be careful, this evil spirit is not easy to deal with, I'm worried, you have to buy a few more coffins, otherwise, it's not enough to hold the corpses of these companions behind you, if you want to find death, I won't stop you." Qiong Ling said coldly.

Zhang Yan's face sank, and the rest of the mercenaries also showed anger on their faces.

"What are you talking about, Wuyi Mountain is amazing, dare to curse us?"

"Could it be that Wuyi Mountain is going to fight us?"

The mercenaries were each holding their weapons in their hands.

The storm is coming.

The owner of the inn saw that the situation was not good, and hurried out to fight in the round.

"Everyone..."

But before he could open his mouth or say a word, he was pushed away by a mercenary.

"Get out. ”

Yan Hao was a little embarrassed when he saw this, "This friend, my junior sister is just not very good at talking, she is just kind, that evil spirit is indeed very powerful, and it is our duty to eradicate evil spirits, of course it is good for you to help, but we also received an order, we must bring the evil spirit back to Wuyi Mountain, I don't know my friend, your plan?"

"Everywhere, the people of our gluttonous mercenary group are not stingy people, how can they not hesitate to go to war because of a joke or two, you all put down the knife for me. Zhang Yanle said.

Yuluo is indifferent to what is happening around her.

"Let's go. Yu Luo took Lin Demon Yue's small hand and said.

"Where are you going?"

"Go back to sleep. Yuluo snorted.

"This beautiful girl, since you have such a strong ability, why don't you take action and help us catch this evil spirit together?" Zhang Yan suddenly, a dodge came to Yuluo's side, not hiding his strength at all.

Yuluo stopped, stared at Zhang Yan and said, "That seems to be your business, what does it have to do with me?"

"Hehehe, since I entered the door, I felt a strong wave of power in the crowd, so I felt that there must be a master among them, at first I thought it was two friends of Wuyi Mountain, but then after checking, it was not like this, until I saw the girl, I can basically conclude that this master is the girl. If I'm not mistaken, this girl is not spiritual, but magical, you are a person from the Demon Domain. Zhang Yan said calmly.

Yu Luo smiled slightly: "Unexpectedly, the gluttonous mercenary group is not all waste materials, I deliberately restrained my breath, you can actually find out." However, even if you know that I am from the Demon Realm, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Yan is not a big man in the gluttonous mercenary group, but here, he is definitely the number one person, and he is actually said to be a waste material, of course he can't hang his face.

But since he could see Yuluo's disguise, he naturally knew that even the people in this room were tied together, and they were not Yuluo's opponents, so there was no way to attack.

For so many days, no one had ever seen the disguise of Featherfall.

Therefore, Lin Demon Yue concluded that this guy named Zhang Yan must have characteristics that ordinary people cannot reach in some places.

"Girl, are you actually from the Demon Domain?" Yan Hao asked disappointedly.

Yuluo ignored Yan Hao and continued to say to Zhang Yan: "If there is nothing wrong, please take your stinky feet away for me, so as not to make me unhappy." ”

"You. Zhang Yan was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Why don't you get out of here?" shouted Yuluo.

Seeing this, the rest of the mercenary group drew their swords one after another.

They hadn't taken a few steps before they were stopped by Zhang Yan.

"Stop it, since this girl is not here for evil spirits, she has nothing to do with us, and don't fight for nothing. ”

Yu Luo glanced at the crowd and said, "It's a pity that you let me go this time, because you won't have such good luck next time, my life seems to be in your Great Xia Empire, it is very valuable." ”

"There are also a lot of people from the Demon Domain in my gluttonous mercenary group, so the battle between immortals and demons, that's your business, it has nothing to do with me, I just saw that the girl was so strong in magic, so I didn't hold back for a while, just ask, since the girl is such a strong person, since she came to this town, wouldn't it be a pity not to contribute to the evil spirits and compete for the bounty?" Zhang Yan said.
