Chapter 1430: Naval Battle (3)
Maude looked around, beckoned, and everyone gathered their heads together before whispering: "Although the lord cooperates with the city lord here to smuggle, we still need to help the lord find a cheaper source of goods, after all, all of us know how tricky the guys here are." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"This credit is very great, as long as you find a source, the bounty is in the thousands!"
"Thousands? Really? Maude's men asked a little hesitantly.
"Hey, is this fake? The lord has specially prepared a few boxes of gold coins to reward people, as long as you report the information, wait to go home with a box of gold coins. ”
Maude's men swallowed, but they obviously realized that finding a new source of goods was not something they could do, so they wiped their saliva and asked, "Are there any other tasks?" ”
Maude nodded and said: "Of course, although the lord and this side are in a cooperative relationship, no one dares to guarantee that it will be the same in the future, so we also have to inquire about information, such as the number of troops, the location of the army, the information of officers, as well as the changes of officials in the city, and the number of people in various places."
"The value of this information varies, and if you are lucky enough to find out important information, you will also be rewarded with a box of gold coins."
"Hey, we're good at that."
Maude's men all laughed, they didn't think it was difficult to get information.
It was still the shrewd subordinate who said: "Boss, although there is no difficulty in inquiring about information, are we too few people?" Can only a few dozen people get all the information? ”
Maud smiled: "Hehe, that's why I spent a few gold coins here to drink and eat." ”
When Maude's men just came to their senses, several rogue leaders who had talked to Maude finally couldn't help but come over.
"Boss Maude, look at the way you look, you've made a fortune lately, right? How about some light for our poor brothers? Is Cailu the same place where the last two groups of people went? A straightforward guy asked directly.
"That's right, if you have money, everyone will make it together, but it will be jealous to swallow it alone." The other rogue leader nodded in agreement.
And the rest of the people suddenly showed a look that he had just remembered and said, "Yes, the last two batches of people were at least three or four thousand people, why did a few of you come back?" You can't sell them to make them so rich, right? ”
These words immediately put the other two on guard.
Although there is no intimate relationship between the rogues, there are also conventions and customs, so you can't betray your own people, otherwise you will encounter the revenge of all the gangs.
Because everyone knew about this custom, Maude's men glared at the guy who sowed discord, and Maude greeted him inappropriately: "Come, everyone sit down and taste what this hero's blood tastes like." ”
Seeing that none of them moved, Maude couldn't help but smile: "You don't want to think about it, I only have dozens of people under my command, can I sell thousands of people?" ”
"Then why didn't any of them come back? Don't tell me, they're all taken captive. The guy who had spoken in the wrong tone at the beginning said again.
"Ha, it's really like you said, the last time we two groups of people were really wiped out, and after a third of them died, they were all captured, of course, we and a few guys saw the opportunity early, and took refuge in the past to become a subordinate. So we can get away here while others do the coolies. Maud laughed.
The other two guys looked shocked: "You have taken refuge in the new master's house!" Is he willing to be born in a rogue? "In addition to the down-and-out households who have lost their fields, they are all wild samurai who have lost their master's family and no one wants, and they are not only not hateful but envious of their new masters.
And the rest of the guy still sneered with a skeptical look: "Joke, all the army is wiped out? You think I don't know what's going on over there? The target of your attack is only a major leader, does a major leader have the ability to destroy three or four thousand rogues? ”
Maude said disdainfully: "Hehe, dare to say that you know the situation over there, so do you know that my lord and the city lord of Mingyue are doing business together?" Do you know that my lord has more than 2,000 cavalry alone? If you don't believe me, you can swim and see, as long as you are not hostile, my lord's territory is free to enter. ”
"Good! I'm going to see if it's really what you say! If you lie, I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth! The guy turned around and walked away.
The other two guys, who had long been stunned by Maude's words, immediately came to their senses and stammered: "Boss Maude doesn't need to pay attention to him, his brother is in the team last time, and he is desperately inquiring about the news during this time." ”
"Oh, I see, as long as his brother is not killed on the spot, then he will definitely be able to find it when he goes to my lord's territory. By the way, are you guys okay? The idea of attacking my lord's domain is not a good idea. Maud said, glancing at the two of them.
"Hehe, how dare we be so bold, hehe, we want to ask, I don't know if Lord Maude's lord is still recruiting? We would appreciate it if Maude-sama could introduce me. "These two guys are pugs now.
No wonder they are so, they are now worse than homeless people without a master's family, not only do they have no status, but they also have no fixed income, and they have to support a large number of subordinates, and life is very difficult.
Maude frowned and said: "Two elder brothers, although I am now my lord's minister, my position is not in the stream, and even my subordinates have no position." ”
Maude's subordinates immediately nodded with gloomy expressions, in fact, it was only Maude and Nangong Dun who really took refuge in Zhao Hu.
The two could only smile bitterly when they heard this, it seems that Maude is unwilling to introduce this guy.
After understanding this, the two immediately changed their words and said: "Hehe, so that's the case, it seems that we are too delusional." yes, I wonder if Boss Maud can introduce us to any jobs we can help with that will allow us to earn two bucks to make ends meet? ”
Maude smiled: "Haha, of course, my lord needs your help in some tasks, and the reward must be good, if the intelligence is important, the reward of hundreds of gold coins is definitely not a problem." As he spoke, he told him about the task of inquiring about information.
Hearing these tasks and the number of rewards, the two leaders' eyes turned red, and after saying goodbye to Maude, they immediately beckoned their men to leave in a hurry.
The actions of these two rogue leaders immediately attracted the other rogue leaders in the tavern to Maude.
Maud wished that there were as many people as possible, and announced the task situation and reward amount one after another, and in an instant, the entire crowded tavern was left with the tavern owner and Maude and others.
The tavern keeper was obviously curious about what Maud had said to the leaders, and he let them go at once, and kept his ears pricked up to eavesdrop.
"Boss, let them do all these tasks, what should we do? We are the lord's subordinates! Maude's men asked worriedly.
Maude said proudly: "Hey, don't worry, I just told them that the information was handed over to me, and the bounty was also given to them by me, and didn't you hear what I just said that the best bounty is only a few hundred gold coins?"
"In other words, if the information is handed in, we will get credit and a bounty, and only half of the bounty will be enough to make them die."
"Uh, boss, that is, we get credit and half the bounty for doing nothing?"
The nimble-minded subordinate asked.
"Hehe, that's right, how about it, your boss is wise and martial, right?" Maud said smugly.
"Yes! The boss is wise! Maude's men immediately launched a sycophant attack.
However, not long after the start, a man rushed in from outside the tavern, and this wet man, looking around, saw Maude, and immediately ran over with joy.
Maude They also noticed this man, and they were obviously stunned, because this person was also Maude's subordinate, but he was just following Zhao Hu to pass the word, why did he suddenly come here? And it's so messy?
"Boss, the lord and Mingyue City have turned their faces!" The first words of this person made Maude and the others tremble.
The tavernkeeper apparently did the same, he seemed to be leaving, but he continued to eavesdrop on something.
"What's going on?"
Maud first looked around, and saw the tavern owner with his head down and busy, a cold glint in his eyes, and then asked in the lowest voice.
"That's ......"
This subordinate immediately wiped out Zhao Hu and the young master of Qingyue, and said it roughly, but it was this general description that also made Mo De and the others dumbfounded, and Mo De muttered: "Oh my God, just because of such a little conflict, the young master of the family was destroyed, and he also robbed twenty warships?" The lord is really ......"
Maude now doesn't know whether it's good to say that his lord is powerful, or stupid, stupidity means that the partner turned his face into an enemy, and he was so powerful that he actually captured twenty warships with such a few people!
"What is the Lord's order?" The others, shocked and questioned.
"The lord's order is to find out the intelligence of the navy, and try his best to sabotage the assembly of the navy, because the lord has already returned to carry people to prepare to attack Mingyue City!"
Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
No, not to mention that there are more than forty remaining naval armies, even Mingyue City also has tens of thousands of regular troops, not to mention those mercenaries, as long as the Mingyue City Lord is willing to pay, no matter how many mercenaries can be recruited.
These situations have been reported to the lord, why does the lord not care about the comparison of the strength of the two sides at all, but wants to launch a strong attack?
