"General Hermeas, the goods will arrive tomorrow, because there are more goods, so they will go slowly, you can rest assured, the quality of the goods and the samples I brought are the same, but I just don't know how to test their power." Amintas said with infinite regret, "It seems that we have to wait until the battlefield." ”

"Hehe, I don't have to worry about what you do, those weapons are all good, worthy of a family of weapons, speaking of which we are still Greeks, and now Greeks are all over the world, even if we usually fight, we are all our own people."

"Who says it's not, now the world of Greeks and Macedonians is everywhere, but civil wars break out frequently, think about how powerful the Macedonian Empire was at the beginning, but now it is like this, this fate will really play tricks on people!" Amintas said tentatively that he wanted to understand the other man's attitude so that he could be convinced to play for him.

"This can't be helped, after King Alexander died, the dragons were leaderless, and of course his generals divided his territory, and our subordinates naturally followed their superiors, and you said that the new king is either a fool or a baby, and it is strange that the country is not divided. As for me, I just have to get promoted and get rich, I have wine to drink, money to take, and women to sleep with, then everything doesn't matter. Now that we are strong, we will follow suit! ”

After listening to Hermeas's words, Amyntas's heart sank, knowing that this kind of person did not have the slightest respect and reverence for the king, and only cared about his own happiness, and it was impossible to convince him, so he had to give up this idea, nodded and agreed: "Yes, the strength of General Antigonus is the most powerful among the many Diadochi, and it is really promising to follow him!" ”

"Of course! Brother, if you were just a commoner, I could have recommended you to be a centurion, but unfortunately I don't think you would give up your wealth, haha! ”

"Hehe, how can a man not like to carry a knife into battle and kill happily?"

"So you like to be a soldier and fight."

"Don't underestimate me, I've also been on the battlefield and killed people, I am not ambiguous in killing people, I took my family's private soldiers to defend the city during the Lamian War, but I was outnumbered, and there was really no way. Fortunately, in the end, my family was not punished. ”

"Hehe, it turns out that you still have this story, come and do it!"

"!" A large bowl of wine, both of them drank it all.

"Besides, my family deals in weapons, do you think I can not have a little martial arts? Since I was a child, my father hired a teacher to teach me martial arts, so it was more than enough to deal with thieves. ”

"Fighting a war is different, how can it be just a matter of personal martial arts! Besides, if you don't usually use it much, how good can your martial arts be? "Hermeas was clearly skeptical of his martial arts.

Now Amintas was anxious: "You are underestimating me, I dare to pack a ticket, I'm afraid no one in this city can beat me!" ”

"What—" Hermeas stared straight at the other, barely believing what he heard, "you're so angry, I'd have to take a good look." ”

"Okay, you can arrange for someone to compare with me. Oh, by the way, I've heard someone nearby say that there is a fortress in the south of the city, and there are some people locked up in it, and you see if we can deliver them there, and then take the prisoners and try the sword, and let you see my weapons and my martial arts, so that you can have the best of both worlds. ”

"What, where did you hear that?" Without waiting for Amintas to explain, Hermeas continued: "Brother, all the people there are to be criminals, and they are all extremely vicious people, how can you, a noble son, compete with them, don't be joking, don't do it!" ”

Seeing Hermeas feel sorry for him like this, Amyntas couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, and said in his heart: Is it possible that people like you will also think about others.

"Does it matter, I believe in my martial arts, even if it's really bad, isn't there still you here? Wouldn't it be enough to help at a critical moment. After saying that, he looked at Hermeas with an indifferent look.

"But do you know who is being held?"

"Aren't there thieves and murderers in prison?"

"No, the most important characters in it are the generals of Alexander and the regent Padica, Attalus and Dochemos, Laomedon, Polemont and others, as well as some of their men, most of them are die-hard members of Alexander or Padica, loyal to the Macedonian royal family, and the governor of Antigonus saw that they were his comrades before him, so he did not kill them, but he could not let them go, so he had to lock them up in the fortress." …,

"Oh, I see! Then I would like to meet these former majestic generals, I wonder what they have become now? You just arrange it, nothing will go wrong, of course I won't let you work in vain. After saying that, Amintas took out a small bag of money, and Hermeas was a little half-pushed at first, and when Amyatas opened the bag, it was shining with gold, and Hermeas's eyes were shining with golden light.

"Gold, gold!" Hermeas couldn't help but blurt out, and then reached in with his right hand and grabbed a handful of gold coins, at this time it seemed that everything was not important to him, he was completely immersed in the enjoyment of money, and that face made Amintas despise it so much. After a while, he came back to his senses and saw Amintas looking at him with a smile, and he began to be embarrassed.

"Brother, you're too polite, you don't have to be like this if you want to go there! This made my brother a little embarrassed. ”

Amintas said in his heart: Giving you so many gold coins, you are a little embarrassed, you are really thick-skinned. With a smile on his face, he said: "Actually, I still want to buy some horses from you, my caravan needs horses, and I plan to directly help you send weapons to the front line, so that I can not only meet my idol, but also earn some more money from it, I think your governor must give me some hard money, I have benefited, brother, you are naturally indispensable." After saying that, both of them laughed obscenely.

"Okay, then by the way, you can send the war horse to Tarsus as well."

"I wonder how many warhorses you have here?"

"There are probably more than 600 horses that can be used as war horses, but you have to keep 100 of them."

"Okay, I have 80 retinues, I'll buy you eighty, and I'll send you the rest except these 180, and I'll have someone take over at once, but you'll have to provide me with some grooms."

"Of course."

"But the price of this horse can be lower for me, 400 gold coins for 80 horses, you've seen enough." Amintas said as he took out a bag of money and took out 200 gold coins and handed them to him.

When Hermeas saw the money, he showed his ugly face again. It seems that as long as there is money for him, anything can be done.

"Forget it, although 400 gold coins for 80 horses is a little less, but who made us brothers, I'll just write a note, and you can mention it then." After saying that, he happily wrote down Tima's note and stamped it.

"Then tomorrow we will meet at the fortress, you bring your weapons."

"Okay." Amyntas walked straight out, while Hermeas poured out the two bags of gold coins and stared greedily as if he wanted to swallow them.
