At this moment, although Cui Kui was unwilling, he also knew that he was not reasonable, so he had to glare at Huo Xiu fiercely, and then silently retreated to the side.

Seeing that the conflict had been resolved, the Lord of the Ning Mansion looked around for a while, and then said, "Everyone, I have summoned you today because there is an appointment to be announced. ”

When Huo Xiu heard this, his heart sank. Although the Ning Mansion Lord had not yet explained, he had already vaguely guessed something.

Sure enough, I saw the Lord of Ning Mansion cough, and then said: "Some time ago, due to the rampant demon clan, our Tantang lost a lot of good hands, and some of the teams were even wiped out. This time, it just so happened that all the martial artists who participated in the Nanshan Sect trial in Hemu Town had already returned. So, taking the opportunity, we put them into various uneven squads. Today, a few of you will form a new Juban team, and the captain will be Ji Duichi. ”

Now, Huo Xiu has thoroughly understood why Ji Duyi is so calm and relaxed, it turns out that he already knows. I'm afraid all this is his ghost.

In this way, Huo Xiu will not have a good time in the new Shiban team.

At least, Ji Duyi and the Cui brothers are definitely not dealing with Huo Xiu.

At this time, Ji Du waved his hand one by one, beckoning everyone to come closer, and then said in a fake voice: "In the future, I will rely more on you brothers, I will definitely be fair and just, you don't have to worry about this." ”

Ji Duyi said, looking at Huo Xiu casually, as if he meant something.

Seeing this, Huo Xiu had to bite his lip tightly, and did not speak, but just looked back at the past with cold eyes.

Ji Du saw that everyone had no opinions, so he immediately turned around.

"Back to the Ning Mansion Lord, the Visiting Hall Shiban team has been assembled, please instruct!"

The Lord of the Ning Mansion stroked his beard and nodded slightly, looking quite pleased.

"Good. Without further ado, I'll just say a little bit. There must be no infighting between the various martial artists, if you let me know, I will be severely punished!"

When everyone heard this, they responded that it was.

And at this moment, Ji Duyi also took advantage of the situation and announced: "According to the previous instructions of the Ning Mansion Lord, in the near future, our Shiban team will cooperate with other teams to jointly garrison Jade Dragon Mountain to prevent the demon clan from escaping to the nearby pass. Everyone, get ready, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone present immediately became bitter.

"What's going on? Why are you going so far?"

"That's right, it's not a mine or a village, so it stands to reason that it should be guarded by the masters of the local Haoqiang family. ”

"It's miserable, Yulong Mountain is the coldest place in our area, it snows all year round, where to go, you have to freeze to death!"

Seeing that the scene had become a mess, the Lord of Ning Mansion immediately waved his hand and asked everyone to suppress their voices.

Then, he smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, everyone, this is just a stopgap measure. The main reason is that the old patriarch of the He family in Jiulian City, who is in charge of guarding the town, has fallen, and they need to go home to mourn, and it is estimated that they will come back in a month or two. During this period, all the rewards due to the He family belonged to the warriors who were responsible for guarding this place. In other words, you can receive double pay. ”

It was only then that everyone's doubts gradually subsided. And Huo Xiu listened silently on the side, and also figured out the reason.

It turned out that in addition to more than 100 villages and mines, there were more than 10 passes, which were responsible for connecting the neighboring Lingnan Prefecture in the southern region and several surrounding border towns.

Although these passes do not directly face the demon clan of the 100,000 mountains, their responsibilities are not light at all. They are not only the defense line to prevent the demon clan from entering the states of the Southern Regions, but also the main route for each border to communicate and support each other. Therefore, it is necessary to invest heavily in garrisons.

However, just guarding the border towns has already stretched the various martial arts, and they really can't take care of these passes.

Therefore, under the coordination of various military governments, the Haoqiang families in various places sent people to be stationed for a long time, and the border towns were responsible for paying a certain amount of remuneration.

Although this is a heavy task, defending against the demon race is the top priority of the human race. Therefore, even if you are stubborn, you have to follow the rules.

Moreover, most of these passes are located on major transportation routes, and there are many merchants coming and going. The Haoqiang family, who is responsible for guarding this place, also made an exception to allow the collection of relevant fees, which can be regarded as a change of direction to encourage them to guard these passes.

In this way, the border towns naturally handed over these passes to the management of various powerful families, and rarely touched them. For example, this time the outpost is indeed quite rare.

However, now that the task has been issued, it is difficult for everyone to refuse, not to mention that they can earn double pay, even if the conditions are a little harder, they are quite happy.

It's just that Huo Xiu still vaguely sniffed out the clues.

"This mission of going out to garrison, sooner rather than later, was given when Ji Du was in charge of the Shiban team. Among them, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

"These passes are far away from the control of Kawaki Town, even if there are other warriors following, but if Ji Du secretly acts in the dark during this period, it is very likely that it will not attract the attention of others. ”

"Besides, I'm already the henchman of the demon clan lurking here, and if the news of my departure from Hemu Town spreads, they will definitely not let me go. At that time, I will face the attack of both the demon clan and Ji Duyi, and I am afraid that life will be even more difficult. ”

Thinking of this, Huo Xiu couldn't help but feel deeply worried,

At this moment, the corner of Huo Xiu's eyes inadvertently swept over Ji Duyi on the side. I found that he was looking over with a playful face, which was full of provocation.

Huo Xiu immediately gritted his teeth, he already understood, this was indeed Ji Duyi's troublemaker. Moreover, it is difficult for Ji Duyi to do this first point alone, and behind him, I am afraid that there is still the Qin Hall Master who has lost his nephew.

"You really want to kill me, but my life is very hard, and I can't swallow it alive, but I choke you to death!"

Just when Huo Xiu had secretly made up his mind, he saw Ji Duyi whistling and walking over.

"What's the matter, Huo Xiu. I see that your face is very ugly, I guess you are afraid!"

Huo Xiu immediately raised his head and faced the past.

"What's there to be afraid of! I've fought three battles with the demon clan in a row, and now it's just a small guard task, how can you scare me!"

"That's very good. But you have to be careful. There are so many players this time, I can't take care of every one of them, and when I can more, I still have to rely on yourselves. If you suffer an accident because of your lack of strength, then you can only blame yourself. ”

Ji Duyi said, leaving with a long smile, as if in his eyes, Huo Xiu was no different from a dead man.
