When Li Tianhao woke up from his bed, it was already the next morning, and he couldn't remember the celebration in the tavern yesterday and how he came back.

Li Tianhao's cranial cavity seemed to have a hundred buffaloes fighting, and he shook his head vigorously and struggled to get up. Jumped on the table, grabbed a bottle of water and drank it in one go, feeling a little more comfortable, Li Tianhao slowly walked out of the bedroom and into the courtyard.

There was a practice going on in the courtyard. The two sides of the practice are Senas and Alam, and the two have very different styles of play, Alam's fast sword is like a flying butterfly shuttling back and forth around Senas; Xenas stood still like a mountain, trying to dissolve Alam's tricks.

Seeing that the two were fighting, Li Tianhao found a stone and sat down, letting the hot wind in the air blow away the hangover feeling. After a while, Alam suddenly jumped out of the circle and gasped: "It's really unfair, my physical strength is too much to consume like this!" ”

Xenas put away his greatsword and said with a relaxed expression, "With your current strength, it is not enough for me to move my feet against you. Although your moves are very powerful, unfortunately they are still far from powerful. ”

Li Tianhao picked up the water bottle on the side and threw it to Senas, who caught it and threw it to Alam: "I drink, and the water is for Alam." ”

Li Tianhao picked up the wine jug again and threw it to Xenas, and asked, "It's also strange to say, I heard that you have been wandering in the eastern part of Paz and the battlefield of Tuqi, how did you suddenly come to the southern part of Yaki?" ”

Senas took the flask and took a big sip, and replied, "It's a long story, and there are two reasons. First, in the second half of last year, a big thing happened to Paz. ”

"Oh? What's up? Li Tianhao has not heard about his hometown since last year, and of course he is very interested.

Seeing Li Tianhao's excited eyes, Xenas made a bard posture and said, "Duke Anderpasius, Lord of Badana in the northeast of Pas, you don't know this person, right?" ”

"Of course, he is the barrier to the invasion of the Turks in the northeast of Paz. Without him blocking so many raids, Paz would not have been able to retain control of the overland trade routes. ”

"Yes, this old man passed away last year. And at that time, Tuci had already crossed the border of Paz and was fighting his way to his territory. ”

Li Tianhao was taken aback: "Is there such a thing? What happened then? ”

Xenas looked at Li Tianhao's surprised expression, and said smugly: "The twenty-year-old son of Duke Anderpasius, Baibasbahn, inherited the title and led the army against the attack of Tuqi. As a result, with 20,000 troops, he defeated more than 100,000 Tukhe cavalry, and he himself beheaded the Tukhi Khan Imidi. ”

"The Great Khan of Tukhi is dead?" Li Tianhao was really taken aback at this time. Although the death of the Great Khan of Tukhi is a normal thing for the Thukh, as long as the tribes are dissatisfied with the current Great Khan, it is possible that a new Great Khan will kill the Great Khan and usurp the throne, but it is extremely rare for the Great Khan to die on the battlefield. He couldn't help but mutter, "Bye Basbarn, has a new hero appeared?" ”

"At this time, the Turkey tribes will definitely fight for the position of the Great Khan, and I am afraid that they will not be able to attack Paz again in a few years. But then, I have nothing to do. So I was faced with a choice in my life: first of all, I could go to Tuqi as a mercenary, but first, I didn't like Tuqi's wine and women, and secondly, I made a little effort in that battle, and I made a lot of money by killing one of the princes of Tuqi, and if I went to Tuqi, I am afraid that I would be worried about my life. ”

"The Turks have clear grievances and plundering habits, and it is indeed not wise for you to take money and wealth to the enemy's territory." Li Tianhao nodded slightly.

"yes, that's why I want to go to Arubania, their war with Yaki can't be broken, and there should be money to be made there. So I traveled all the way south, and in a small town in Arubania, I met a soothsayer. ”

"Fortune teller?" Alam had already drunk the entire bottle of water by this time, and interjected with a wipe of his mouth.

Ignoring him, Xenas took another sip of wine before saying, "This soothsayer is very famous in the local area. I was bored, so I went to her for divination. She told me that the battlefield I should go to was at the southernmost point of the subunit, not the northern part of the subunit. I didn't believe it at the time, but the soothsayer was very determined, and I was persuaded by her to come here. ”

"Just by a word of a soothsayer?" Alam's eyes widened: "This is too hasty, isn't it?" ”

Xenas glanced at him and said, "What do you know! I had a lot of money at the time, and I didn't care about making such a trip. I am only afraid that the soothsayer is wrong, that there is no war here, and that since there is a war to be fought here, I have nothing to worry about. ”

"You are very confident," Li Tianhao hugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, don't you have a huge amount of money, why did you have no money for drinking yesterday?" ”

Cernas drained the last sip of wine, put down the flask, and said, "Actually, I have been in the Dils Mountains for several months, and in the past few months I have traveled all over the Dils Mountains, and the money has been spent like this. ”

Alam teased: "You are not very good at this, and no one hires you all over the Dils Mountain." ”

"Hmph, you won't understand. Since you are going to fight here, how can you not know the terrain and the combat strength of both sides? I didn't earn the title of 'Undefeated Mercenary' by martial arts alone. ”

"Well said!" Li Tianhao slapped his thigh and stood up, turned to Alam and said: "Alam, see it, the real strong man does not rely on brute bravery alone, only by carefully studying the battlefield and opponent can he be invincible." You should not just practice martial arts, but also learn the use of the art of war when you have time. ”

Being praised by Li Tianhao, Xenas was very satisfied, stretched out his hand and patted Li's shoulder and said: "Boy, you really know the goods, I have been fighting for almost fifteen years, and there are not a few people who can really recognize the value of my Xenas, Duke Bai Basbarn counts as one, and you also count as one!" ”

Li Tianhao hehe: "As a businessman, I have always had a good vision. Since the Duke of Basbarne appreciates you, why didn't you stay with him? ”

Cenas shook his red-haired head and said, "Although Basbahn appreciates me, he is a pacifist and does not want to start a war at all, and I will starve to death with him." And his serious people don't get along with me. ”

Li Tianhao stretched out his hand and touched his chin and said, "So your temper is more compatible with me?" Anyway, with a talent like you, I won't let it go easily. ”

Senas laughed and gestured to fetch the wine again. At this time, Muller strode in, and there was no reason for it from his expressionless face, but the speed of his pace told Li that there was an urgent matter. Li stepped forward and asked, "What's the urgency?" ”

Mueller took out a small note from his bosom and handed it forward: "Young master, Xie Wuda has just received the news from the flying pigeon, and our first batch of goods has arrived in Portsmoport. ”
