The flames of war have been burning in the Hulu Continent for nearly fifty years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEver since the ninth emperor of the Tianchen Empire announced his abdication of the throne fifty years ago, the empire has been mired in chaos among the major legions because there is no legitimate heir to the throne.

The Marquis of Dongmen occupied Huangcheng, the capital of the empire, and raised troops as the distant cousin of Emperor Tianchen; The Marquis of Western Chu occupied the city of Ximian, where the entire continent was strong, and regarded himself as the most prominent person in the empire's military exploits, and established himself as the king; The Marquis of Nanmu occupied the rich land in the south, and hired countless mercenary groups to serve him with strong financial resources; The Northern Continent is currently ownerless, and due to its treacherous geography and complex ethnic communities, it is the world of mercenaries and rogue rangers, and it is also the most chaotic and difficult place to survive in the entire continent.

The icy northern continent has a clear understanding of the law of the jungle, where if you don't have the strength, you can only be reduced to the lowest level of pariahs, whether you are a pure human, an elf or an orc, strength here determines everything.

The Fuyao Money Village in Melting Ice City is one of the most powerful conglomerates in the Northern Continent. The owner of Fuyao Money Bank's surname is Lu, and he is a pure-blood human. It is said that the reason why the founding emperor of the Tianchen Empire had the funds to recruit troops and buy horses was because of the funding of the Lu family's money bank. Because of this relationship, the depth of the Lu family's foundation in the Hulu Continent is unshakable.

The Lu family was thin, and he died of illness two years ago, after all, the climate of the northern continent is not something that the elderly can afford to pamper. Lu Chengliang is the twelfth generation head of the Lu family. As a rich N generation, and an only seedling, the talent and pride of the ancestors when they created the family business were all discarded by him, and now he is just a weak son who can only enjoy himself and have a simple mind.

Today is the first time that Lu Chengliang has left the comfortable warm pit and stepped out of the house, he wants to go to Yongsheng Casino to discuss business. The behind-the-scenes boss of this Yongsheng gambling house is also a big man, and the gambling house is open in three directions of the east, west and south of the mainland. Now that they have taken a fancy to the Northern Continent, they want to settle down in the Ice Melting City, so they naturally have to respect the head snake, the invitation was sent out three days ago, and there is a box of gold along with the invitation. The other party was so generous, Lu Chengliang also had to give the other party a face and go to the banquet in person.

The soft sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the largest restaurant in the ice melting city, Xidinglai Restaurant, and a group of ragged flower beggars surrounded it. Flower beggars look similar to the begging passers-by, but they don't cry out "Pity me", reach out to passers-by to ask for money, and if you don't sweat here, you won't get anything in return. Some of them knelt on the ground and sang a little song, and some somersaulted like monkeys, hoping to get the reward of the nobles, and none of them were lazy. They didn't dare to get too close to the soft sedan chair, because the twenty-odd bodyguards were not vegetarians.

"Reward!" Lu Chengliang said. His voice was soft, tactful and soft.

The bodyguard threw out a handful of copper coins, and the beggars all gathered around to grab it. At this time, a thin little girl was pushed aside by the other flower beggars, and she was unlucky enough to be stepped on twice. The little girl's face was wrinkled in pain, but she didn't dare to scream, her small body couldn't win against others, so she had to cover her purple lips and move to the side, careful not to be stepped on again.

Lu Chengliang saw this scene, although he was clothed and fed since he was a child, and he was born noble, he still had sympathy. The little girl was kneeling and singing just now, and her voice was quite good, so she couldn't let her hard work go to waste. So Lu Chengliang motioned to his subordinates to take a few more copper coins to the little girl. The bodyguard threw the copper coin in front of the little girl, and the little girl's eyes flashed with surprise, she was very smart, and immediately knew that this was Lu Chengliang's gift.

"Thank you, thank you!" The little girl kowtowed as she picked up the copper coin.

Lu Chengliang walked into the restaurant with a light smile. As everyone knows, his charming smile made the little girl look stupid. However, the little girl was only distracted for a while, and after Lu Chengliang's figure disappeared into the restaurant, she returned to normal.

As soon as Lu Chengliang walked into the VIP room on the third floor, a middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous fur suit greeted him warmly:

"Lu Guiren! You're finally here! The weather was unusually cold, and Lu Dagui came here in person, and he was grateful, grateful. ”

"Zhao Guiren is polite." Lu Chengliang returned the salute, the invitation was sent in the name of the owner of Yongsheng Gambling House, and the name of the boss Zhao Benshan was also written on the sticker, so the one in front of him was Zhao Benshan himself.

"Lu Guiren, please take a seat!" Zhao Benshan Road.

"Please!" Lu Chengliang unceremoniously sat on the warmest soft pit in the private room.

"Lu Guiren, when you first came to Rongbing City to open a store, please take a little more looks." Zhao Benshan showed a typical smiling face of a businessman.

"Zhao Guiren really looks up to the money bank. Our money bank is just a small business of lending, and it has no connection with Zhao Guiren's gambling house. Zhao Guiren's treat was a loss. Lu Chengliang said and waved his hand, and the two bodyguards brought up a box, which was the box of gold sent by Zhao Benshan.

"Haha...... Lu Guiren's words are wrong! Zhao Benshan laughed, "Lu Guiren has never gambled, so he doesn't know how the gambling house is operated." This gambling house and the money bank are as close as sugar sticky beans, inseparable! Money comes and goes every day, and the flow of money is very large, and if you meet a high roller, you have to use more money. In this way, you need the help of Guiqian Zhuang, and I want to take this opportunity to talk about cooperation with Lu Guiren, I don't know what Lu Guiren wants? ”

"How to cooperate?" Lu Chengliang was a little interested.

Zhao Benshan leaned into Lu Chengliang's ear and whispered the specific matters of cooperation in detail, only to see Lu Chengliang's eyes widening wider and wider, and finally looked at Zhao Benshan incredulously and asked, "Is it really so easy to make money?" ”

"Of course. How could he deceive Brother Lu. Seeing the other party, he was almost persuaded by himself, Zhao Benshan simply changed his name, "I just said that I used a lot of money, and that was only when the high rollers were present." Generally speaking, as long as the expensive money bank gives a small amount of money every night for our casino to circulate. As we all know, the strength of Fuyao Money Bank is the strongest in the entire Northern Continent! ”

"That'...... How is profit sharing calculated? Lu Chengliang was clearly a young man in the business world, and he was quickly attracted by the huge profits.

"Huh...... Brother don't worry. Let's divide it into four, I will have forty percent, and my brother will have sixty percent! How to say that the signboard of Yongsheng Casino is not bluffing. Zhao Benshan said proudly.

"Deal." Lu Chengliang nodded firmly. Who said that he, Lu Chengliang, was a useless person? He wants to make a big business, so that the elders of the family have nothing to say. Since my father's death, everyone has been openly and secretly, and they all want to see how the Lu family is defeated in his hands. Hmph, he Lu Chengliang wants to do a lot of business for everyone to see.

Just when Lu Chengliang and Zhao Benshan successfully cooperated and had a happy meal, outside the VIP room, four women were waiting quietly, these women were in a uniform brown tights and white cloaks, all with cold faces and powerful aura.

"The head of the regiment is here." A woman with pink hair and a lace blindfold shouted. She held two large knives in her hands, and her only pink hair was particularly eye-catching.

"Captain, why are you so slow!" Another woman in a ponytail muttered. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail and she held a short stick made of fine iron.

"I just went out to find out the news with those beggars." The woman who was called the head of the regiment walked over, and after a closer look, she was not the poor little girl who was trampled on that Lu Chengliang saw just now! But this will make the little girl change her tattered clothes, and her short black hair will be refined and cold. In fact, her age is not young, but her short figure and baby face will make people misunderstand that she is just a little girl.

"Commander, what are we going to do?" The question was asked by an equally petite and lovely girl, whose black hair was tied up the highest, not a single hair fell, and her smooth and delicate forehead looked like it could reflect the sun's rays.

"Rush in directly, kill people and grab money." The regimental commander answered unequivocally.

"Snow Lotus! We're mercenaries now, not robbers. At this point, the tall girl, who had been silent, spoke, she looked mature and steady, but the mace in her hand showed that she was also a difficult character to mess with.

"Huh? Good thing you reminded. The captain's high arrogance dissipated at once.

"You keep in mind that we are mercenaries, and everything must be done according to the rules and regulations! Luo Shi, Feng'er, you two keep a good eye on her for me, and don't let her ruin the reputation of our mercenary group. The mercenary group that was finally established, I don't want to end it because of a small mission. The girl with a ponytail had a tone of hatred that could not be made of steel. The pink-haired girl nodded with the girl with the tall bunch.

"Alright, Sesame-sama, I know! I'll be in control of my balance and use the lightest amount of force when I start in a while! And then only rob money, not kill. The head of the regiment raised three fingers and promised.

"It's not okay to grab money!" The ponytail girl gritted her teeth, and her hand couldn't help but give the regiment commander a slap.

"It hurts !!" The head of the regiment, Xue Lian, said with a pitiful expression. I can't see the leader temperament of the head of the group at all, and no one next to the girl shows a sympathetic look, it seems that this situation has happened too many times, and everyone is used to it.

After the five girls finished discussing, the girl with a ponytail kicked open the door of the private room where Lu Chengliang and Zhao Benshan were, and her movements flashed in one by one.

"Grab money, don't move!" The first sentence of the regiment commander blurted out.

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl with a ponytail immediately rewarded her with another popcorn: "How many times have you said that we are regular mercenaries!" ”

"Mercenary operation, I hope everyone cooperates!" The pink-haired girl reasserted.

"Know who we are? How dare you break in like this, which mercenary group are you? Zhao Benshan said angrily. He doesn't give a good look to these people who are lower than his rank. Lu Chengliang made a look, and his bodyguards surrounded the five girls.

"Sister Sesame, isn't it him?" The girl with high hair asked lively.

Sesame with a ponytail took out an ink portrait from his bosom, compared it and replied, "It's him." ”

"Ahcao, on! Smash his head for me! Then grab that box of gold! The head of the regiment, who had been silent and aggrieved, returned to her state, and she saw the box of shining gold.

"Shut up." Sesame mercilessly struck another invincible popper, and did not forget to remind his teammates who rushed forward with a mace: "Ah Cao, lightly attack." ”

It was the woman who was called Ah Cao who held the mace, and I saw her figure shake and suddenly appear next to Zhao Benshan, and the mace smashed towards Zhao Benshan's head, and Zhao Benshan fainted.

"Drag it away." Seeing that the target object was solved, Sesame commanded. Ah Cao dragged Zhao Benshan's feet, not paying attention to the bodyguards around him at all.

"And that box of gold! Don't forget the gold! "The head of the regiment will not change. But this time no one hit her, and the pink-haired girl rushed up and took the wooden box.

This, this, this...... What's going on? As soon as this group of women came in, they beat people and grabbed money, and they didn't notice him at all? Lu Chengliang's face quickly turned purple, and he was angry!

"Stop!" Even if it is a group of unreasonable women, he doesn't have to be polite. Lu Chengliang decided to teach this group of women a good lesson, so that they could understand that women should stand behind men with their heads bowed and hunched, instead of breaking in and spreading wild like crazy people! Although he didn't know what Zhao Benshan's relationship was with this group of women, he would never allow it to be shot in front of him.

The bodyguards are very professional, and when they hear Lu Chengliang's shout, they know the master's intentions. They showed their weapons to surround the five women, which meant that they would do it if they didn't stop. But how many of the five girls care, with a finger of the sesame little hand, the grass mace dances like a fragrant handkerchief, and it goes around like this, and more than 20 bodyguards all fall to the ground! The other three girls didn't even move a finger.

Lu Chengliang was frightened at this time. These 20 or so bodyguards are all carefully selected, everyone is good at kung fu, and ordinary people are not opponents at all. Although this group of women claims to be a mercenary group, according to common sense, no matter how powerful a woman is, she will not be able to defeat a man, let alone the situation where a woman alone has knocked more than 20 strong men to the ground!

Lu Chengliang rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but tragically found that the crazy woman with a mace was walking towards him, looking at the blood stains on the mace, his little head would be shattered in less than half a bit{(>_
