"How could I possibly take less in terms of price, and it must be enough to hire them. Gu Xun opened his mouth, but his face was angry.

Apparently he was still unhappy with the mercenaries' asking price.

"Oh, how much do the mercenaries ask?" Ye Xing was a little interested, although the mercenaries were sitting on the ground, no matter how high the asking price was, it would be impossible to break through.

After all, many times, there is a life to ask for money, but not necessarily a life to take money.

And if the mercenaries ask for a high price, there must be various reasons.

Either that, the mercenaries here are more greedy for money than in other places.

Either that, or the mercenaries here, they know that this mercenary task is tricky.

It's nothing more than these two cases, as for the other cases, it's not nothing, but it shouldn't be.

"They...... They each cost five hundred silver coins!" Gu Xun said angrily, his fists clenched together.

He really didn't want to give up the money, after all, it was to protect the villagers from horse bandits.

He has always been extremely concerned about such things.

As the guardian of a village, protecting the safety of a village is his own responsibility that he believes must be fulfilled.

However, the asking price this time was too high for Gu Xunlai, and even if he was sold, there would not be so many silver coins.

"Five hundred silver coins?" Ye Xing lowered his eyebrows and pondered.

The monthly salary of an Eastern soldier is ten silver coins, that is, one thousand copper coins, which is actually not a lot of military salaries.

But in addition to military salaries, they will also have a few hidden benefits, such as family accommodation, injury treatment, food management, and so on.

And the mercenary's asking price is generally not too high, so they will eat together, and each person will have a maximum of dozens of silver coins for a mission.

But they have to solve all the chores such as weapons, armor, horses, etc., and the survival rate is not high.

Therefore, a few dozen silver coins for a combat mission is not very high, and even a little low.

But the price they asked for five hundred silver coins per person was a bit too high, and in this era of human life, it was not really that valuable.

"What about your offer?" Ye Xing asked again.

"I offered the price of fifty silver coins per person, and I wanted to hire fifty people.

But no one wanted to take it, and their original asking price was not even thirty silver coins. Gu Xundao.

"How could I possibly agree that two thousand five hundred silver coins could have hired fifty people, but they wanted so many silver coins and I could only hire five people? The more Gu Xun thought about it, the more angry he became, only to feel that the asking price of this group of mercenaries was simply full.

If you go a little farther away to find mercenaries, maybe two thousand five hundred silver coins can recruit two hundred and fifty people.

"Is that so? But don't worry about it for now, can you take me to the village to eat a good meal first, the beast meat really doesn't want to eat it. Ye Xing nodded, and the topic changed.

Gu Xun: "......"

I'm afraid this person is not a starving ghost, and he can't do without food in three or two sentences.

Weishui Village, the entrance of the village.

Several young men dressed in linen clothes looked out vigilantly from the simple sentry tower at the entrance of the village.

They all held rusty steel forks and hoes in their hands.

There was even a man with a homemade wooden bow on his back.

"I don't know if Gu Cunshou can bring reinforcements, I'm really worried. A few young men leaned against the wall and stamped on, looking at the fence below.

On the other side, an old man sat at the entrance of the village, chatting with a few young men.

Not far away, a few women were washing their clothes in front of their homes.

Their complexion was slightly yellow, but they seemed to be in good physical condition, apparently due to their frequent agricultural work in the sun.

"Gu Cunshou can definitely bring in reinforcements, he has superb martial arts and a high realm, and there must be many people who know him outside. "Another young man should arrive.

Everyone nodded.

Weishui Village, a village built on a lake, has a small population, about 100, of which there are only about 20 young and middle-aged people, and only three people have stepped into the realm of cultivation.

"I hope so. The young man who asked the question said, his eyes staring into the sky, slightly blank.

Recently, horse bandits have been rampant, which has made the villagers panic and dare not go out to farm.

Many crops died in the rain because no one took care of them, causing great losses to the villagers.

"Eh, look at it, is that Gu Cunshou?!" the other young man suddenly became excited.

"Look, look! Gu Cunshou is back. ”

"What? Gu Cunshou is back, our village is saved!"

Suddenly, the villagers ran out of their yards, and some children ran out with their adults.

"Where, where?" the villagers swarmed up, looking around until they looked into the distance.

Only then did he find a man in black armor with a sword hanging from his waist walking side by side with another man dressed in white like snow.

"Sure enough, it's Gu Murashou, it's great, we don't have to worry about horse bandits anymore. The villagers were overjoyed.

They all knew that Gu Cunshou went out this time to find reinforcements to relieve the trouble of the horse bandits.

When I came back this time, I must have found help.

Just when the villagers were relaxing and full of joy.

Suddenly, one of the villagers wondered: "No, didn't Gu Cunshou go to find reinforcements?

This villager is an old man in the village, and he is highly respected in the village.

After he reminded them, the villagers also found out that something was wrong.

They only saw Gu Murashou and another man walking closer and closer to the village.

However, apart from these two, they did not see any other Rao appear.

"Eh, no, what about good foreign aid?"

"Didn't Gu Cun Shoumo find foreign aid?"

"Who is that young man in white? ”

The villagers were gossiping, and panic resurfaced in their hearts.

The expected large number of helpers did not appear, but only Gu Murashou and a young-looking teenager appeared.

"Isn't this young man a big boy? Look at that dress, that's called a gorgeous one. Another villager suddenly spoke, and the attention of the crowd was once again distracted.

They all began to pay attention to Ye Xing's appearance.

It's close, and when you look closely, you can only describe it with a handsome word.

After looking at it again, there is still only one handsome word that can be described.

For the villagers, there are not so many flowery words to describe Rao's appearance.

"Eh, don't, this young man looks quite handsome, and he has a bookish anger. An eldest lady said, and looked at the young adults in her own village again.

It was called a variety, each of which was powerful, and although it didn't look as good-looking as the young man, it was also full of masculinity.

Although the white-clothed young man outside was not weaker than them, he even felt that his masculinity was stronger than these people.

"Gu Cunshou, are you back?" a group of people hurriedly opened the gate of the village and greeted them.

"Muramoru Lord, where are the reinforcements you found?!" asked someone who didn't believe that there were no reinforcements.

"Muramori-sama, who is this?"

The villagers rushed up, gossiping, and a few children ran back and forth in circles outside the crowd.

It's a lively scene, which has not been seen in this village for a long time.

"Ahem...... Uh, this ...... That one...... Ladies and gentlemen. Gu Cunshou was dizzy and at a loss for a while.

"It's all quiet, it's all quiet. At this point, an old man shouted from behind the crowd.

The crowd immediately fell silent.

This person is the old man who has a homely relationship with the young people at the entrance of the village, and he is the head of this village.

Seeing him speak, all the villagers got out of the way and stopped talking.

"Ahem, that Gu village guard, I have worked hard for you this time, I don't know if you can find foreign aid?" The village chief opened his mouth and asked the questions that the villagers were most concerned about before the curtain

"Hello Village Chief Li, this matter is long, and the reinforcements are ......" Gu Xun was not finished speaking, and was suddenly interrupted by Ye Xing's voice.

"Reinforcements are stationed outside, don't worry. Ye Xing said, he couldn't see what these villagers were worried about, so he said so.

Gu Xun looked at Ye Xing with a confused expression.

Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements? How come I don't know?
