After eating, the four of them enjoyed the cool under the locust tree in the courtyard, and Zheng Yuanli said: "Elders, Miss Xiao, I don't know if you have heard about the giant beasts near Yanran Mountain devouring the villagers?" ”

Zhu Jiye said: "I heard about it, what's the matter?" ”

Zheng Yuanli said: "Although the city lord sent a lot of people to exterminate that giant beast, but these days have not succeeded, but a large number of people have suffered, ranging from serious injuries and broken arms and legs, to direct death, that giant beast is simply too hateful!" I really want to get rid of it quickly! ”

Zhu Jiye and Jiang Rong nodded in agreement. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng Yuanli was encouraged, and said more energetically, "So I want to regroup and kill the giant beast completely!" ”

Jiang Rong said: "Regroup? ”

"Hmm!" Zheng Yuanli nodded heavily, "My idea is to recruit some young adults with strong martial arts from the people, go into the mountain with me, take the initiative to find the lair of that giant beast, and get rid of it, so as to prevent future troubles!" I don't know what Elder Zhu and Miss Xiao think? ”

Jiang Rong and Xiao Jue glanced at each other, the task is coming!

Zhu Jiye was very appreciative of Zheng Yuanli's idea of eliminating harm for the people, "You kid is good, but there are a few problems. ”

Zheng Yuanli leaned over and looked at him seriously and said, "Elders, please speak." ”

Zhu Jiye was very satisfied with his attitude, and raised a finger and said, "First, does your city lord father agree with you doing this?" If not, what are you going to do? Second, how do you recruit? Have you considered the timing of recruitment, the location of recruitment, and the criteria for recruitment?

"Third, do you know where the beast's lair is? If you go forward, you are just making a senseless sacrifice, and instead of killing the giant beast, you will take the lives of many people. ”

Zheng Yuanli had done his homework before he came, and he didn't say big things, so he didn't think too much about it and said: "My father doesn't agree, but he doesn't object, it all depends on who I can recruit." ”

He looked at Xiao Jue, who didn't say a word and just played with Jiang Rong's fingers, and said: "I heard that Brother Jiang's martial arts are very strong, if there is Brother Jiang in the team to help, then our grasp will be a little greater." ”

He said this with obvious temptation.

He thought that Xiao Jue still wouldn't pay attention to him, so whoever wanted to hear him nod and say, "Yes." ”

After reacting, Zheng Yuanli suddenly got up and walked in front of Xiao Jue, bowed to him and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Brother Jiang for your generosity!" ”

After that, his expression became much more excited, he sat back in his chair, and said to the elders: "Now, I am very sure that I can convince my father to let him agree to my trip to slay the dragon!"

"I've thought about the second question you always said, this is the first step I thought about recruitment, and all the details, and it will be implemented tomorrow."

He handed over a thin booklet, and the elders took it and looked at it, nodding, "Well, yes, very thoughtful. Girl, take a look at it too. ”

After reading it, Jiang Rong put forward a few suggestions, "To recruit young adults with strong martial arts, to what extent is martial arts considered high?" How should the age of young adults be divided? These should be clearly stated on the notice and should not be vaguely mentioned. ”

Zheng Yuanli said humbly: "How does Miss Xiao think she should write?" ”

Jiang Rong asked, "How is the kung fu of the two brothers Wang Dun and Wang Han?" ”

Zheng Yuanli said: "It's very good, in the past, they often tied with me, and after the last time, I realized that they had been deliberately releasing water before." ”

Jiang Rong nodded, "Then recruit people according to their standards, and if they come, they will go up and fight with them, and those who are inferior will be eliminated." As for the age, it is set between fifteen and thirty-five. ”

Then they discussed the recruitment plan for a while, and all the steps were put in place.

Zheng Yuanli took the booklet and left happily.

The recruitment lasted for a total of three days, and in the end, there were only about 20 people who met the requirements, and Bian Wenli and Yu Jisheng were impressively listed. plus Zheng Yuanli, Wang Dun, Wang Han brothers, and Jiang Rong Xiao Jue, a total of 25 people made this trip.

Zheng Yuanli gave each of them four hundred taels of silver as a reward for the dragon slaying operation. If there is an unfortunate sacrifice, an additional pension of 200 taels will be provided. If you can come back alive, it will be even better, and you will get another fifty taels of reward.

They made an appointment to assemble at the gate of the city at the beginning of the next morning, and brought their own horses, dry food, and other things.

Jiang Rong and Xiao Jue arrived a quarter of an hour early, and there were already more than a dozen people waiting here at this time. Soon after, the rest of the people came one after another.

In the end, only Zheng Yuanli, the principal, had not yet arrived.

Jiang Rong was a little displeased, she hated people who were not on time the most, that kid wouldn't have escaped from the battle, right? Even if there is something, you should send someone to tell them. What's the matter with this delay?

She is not the only one who is dissatisfied, and many people are talking about it.

Finally, Zheng Yuanli rode his horse and galloped over, Wang Dun and Wang Han brothers followed closely behind, and behind him, there was actually a carriage, and there were also two attendants dressed as guards next to the carriage.

After Zheng Yuanli arrived, he immediately dismounted and apologized to everyone, "It's mine to keep you waiting!" ”

He is the son of the city lord, and the next city lord is so courteous to them, everyone is busy getting out of the way, saying nothing, and the resentment in his heart dissipates in an instant.

But when they saw the people coming out of the carriage, everyone fell silent.

Bian Wenli was the first to ask, "Zheng Gongzi, I don't know this girl-"

In fact, she wants to scold people even more, what's the matter with you Zheng Dagongzi going out and taking a delicate big girl?! You're not going to hunt beasts, you're going to find the dead!

Zheng Yuanli touched his nose embarrassedly, he didn't know what to say, his sister had to come with him, and he swore that he didn't care about it, she had someone to protect, what could he say? It's late this time, isn't it because of this incident?

The person concerned, Zheng Xinqi and Miss Zheng, behaved much more frankly, and didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

She got out of the car, smiled gently and lovingly at everyone, nodded dignified and politely, and introduced herself: "The little girl has seen all the heroes. I will also participate in this trip to slay the dragon, and I hope that everyone will take care of me along the way, and the little girl is grateful. ”

Everyone looked at each other, although they were happy to have a beautiful woman to accompany them along the way, but they weren't going on an outing, hey, what's the matter with this Zheng girl?

A young man leaning on the city wall with a sword in his hand said directly: "Women don't come to mix, go back to your boudoir and stay, or embroider or feed the fish, but slaying the dragon is not something that you should participate in as a girl." ”

That's too unkind to say.

Zheng Xinqi still maintained a decent smile on her face, but the look in her eyes was completely cold, making her expression look a little weird and uncomfortable.

Her voice was soft, and she pointed at Jiang Rong and said, "Then how can this Xiao girl come?" Or do you see that she is beautiful and lovely, so you soften your heart and take extra 'care' of her? ”

This is really heart-wrenching, Xiao Jue's icy eyes suddenly looked at her, and it pierced her whole person as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

At this moment, Zheng Xinqi really saw the killing intent in his eyes.

He wanted to kill himself! Just for a word? He's so precious to that slut, what's so good about her?! Isn't it just a good face?

Zheng Xinqi lowered her eyes and covered up the bitter hatred in it, at this moment, she really wanted to get rid of Jiang Rong and then quickly.

Zheng Yuanli scolded loudly: "Aqi, how did you speak!" Get me back in the car! ”

The eldest brother did this to her in public! Zheng Xinqi felt embarrassed for a while, and kept casting a poisonous curse on Jiang Rong in her heart, scolding, "Die!" Die! ”

And everyone's expressions became lighter and lighter when they looked at her.

Zheng Xinqi turned around and walked towards the carriage, and Bian Wenli's voice came from behind her.

"Can you compare with Miss Xiao? She has strong martial arts, superb strength, and good medical skills, and she is indispensable to everyone in the team. You have to take a carriage on this road, and it's just a drag to follow. ”

Although Zheng Yuanli also thinks that his sister is excessive, he can't say anything about his own family, but he will never allow others to make irresponsible remarks.

He waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, let's not say a few words, now the sun is rising, let's go." ”

I was in the mood to read the oath that I had prepared, but I was in no mood to read it at this time.

Bian Wenli pursed her lips, approached Jiang Rong, and bumped her shoulder, "Hey, I said, did you see the woman's eyes just now?" It's like I want to drink your blood and eat your flesh, you have to be careful. ”

Jiang Rong responded with a smile.

Before noon, everyone came to the foot of Yanran Mountain and got off the horse and set up camp.

It could have come earlier, and if the horse had let go of the speed, it would have been there in an hour, but it was followed by a carriage, which suddenly slowed down a lot.

However, because Zheng Xinqi is Zheng Yuanli's sister, everyone can't say much.

Jiang Rong and Xiao Jue found a shady place to sit down, ate some dry food briefly, and leaned on the trunk of the tree to close their eyes and recuperate.

Bian Wenli sat not far from them, Zheng Yuanli ran over and sat down next to Jiang Rong, and handed over an open paper bag, "Miss Xiao, I see that you haven't eaten much, I have pastries from Suyunfang here, do you want to try them?" ”

Jiang Rong raised his eyes to look at him, shook his head and said, "Thank you, no need, I'm already full." ”

Zheng Yuanli didn't insist, he withdrew his hand with an "oh" and ate it with relish.

Zheng Xinqi came over with a food box, sat down next to Zheng Yuanli, spread a tablecloth on the ground, opened the food box, and put out a plate of dishes, and suddenly a pungent fragrance spread.

These dishes were still hot, and looking at the color, flavor, and taste, everyone's eyes were more or less cast.

Zheng Yuanli suddenly felt embarrassed, and reprimanded: "Aqi, what are you doing!" Don't put these away quickly, you want to eat them, you take them back to the car to eat, don't be here. ”

Zheng Xinqi didn't care about other people's eyes, and smiled softly: "Big brother, you must be very hungry after such a long journey, right?" Why do you eat these things? ”

The tone was full of disdain for those pastries.

She handed over a pair of chopsticks, "Big brother, eat quickly, otherwise the dish will be cold." (To be continued.) )
