Chapter 134 What Do You Do?
"What are you doing?"
The tall and thin stall man stared at Lin Yuan and his party, watching them walk in front of him, and suddenly raised his voice and asked sharply.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said in a low voice:
"We're here to inquire about someone...... Who is the most powerful of you here? Or is there a chieftain or a patriarch or anything like that......"
"Oh!!" The tall and thin stall man suddenly made a sound as if he suddenly realized, interrupting Lin Yuan's words, he looked left and right at Hou Yi, Yu Zha and others beside Lin Yuan, and then said mysteriously:
“…… Oh you guys...... You're here to apply, right? ”
"Huh?" Lin Yuan was a little dazed, but he quickly reacted and said quickly:
"Eun...... Be...... We're here to apply, ......?"
"There! Go over there, yes, it's the biggest tent, where you can see, turn right there, there's a small door, and at the door is the bandit general, sign up there! ”
The thin and tall stall man took the initiative to point out the way to Lin Yuan, and after that, he whispered mysteriously:
"Remember...... After you went, you said that it was introduced by Xiying Laomu, don't forget! ”
Lin Yuan nodded politely, then turned to leave, and just a few steps away, Jiu Yao followed, and whispered:
"God-given...... Why did we become enlisters after a while? What are we going to apply for? ”
Lin Yuan looked back, and Raza and Hou Yi were also looking at him curiously, they were all looking forward to Lin Yuan's answer.
"No matter what we want to enlist, at least, the person who can issue a recruitment order in this camp must be the most authoritative or powerful person here, and if we find this person, we will definitely be able to find out what we are looking for......"
Yu Zha couldn't help but nodded slowly, and he began to admire Lin Yuan in his heart.
This kind of logical reasoning ability is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.
And Lin Yuan actually thought of more......
For example, why did this businessman, who called himself Lao Mu, so enthusiastically recommend Lin Yuan and his party to participate in the recruitment?
Is there a commission?
Or is there a task?
Or is there a terrible threat going on here? So do you need everyone's strength?
Anyway, if you go to the draft, you will definitely go to war......
Lin Yuan didn't want to fight for a small border city, he had already made up his mind, and after hearing the clues of the Fire God Badge, he would leave here immediately......
In a few moments, they had come to the place where the vendor had spoken, a huge tent covered with dust, with a small door on one side of the tent, and a guard with a stone spear standing at the entrance of the school.
"What are you doing?"
The guard said the same thing as the vendor again, and this time, Lin Yuan knew how to answer.
"We're here to apply! Please take us to meet ...... Uh......"
Should it be said so? Sheik? Patriarch? Or a general?
Lin Yuan suddenly realized that he didn't know who was in charge here.
Seeing Lin Yuan's hesitant look, the guard was a little impatient, frowned, and said:
"You want to see the city lord? Hum! It's up to you? Are you kidding! Go to the side and wait there! ”
The guard lazily raised a finger and pointed to the side.
Lin Yuan looked over, at the back of the tent, there was a long queue, and at a cursory glance, it was estimated that there were at least twenty people, most of them were strong men, lined up one by one, as if they were waiting in line for something.
Lin Yuan shrugged his shoulders and walked over with everyone, it turned out that these people were indeed queuing, and at the end of the line, there was another simple tent, and there seemed to be nothing at the door of the tent......
"What are these people doing in line?" Hou Yi muttered to himself suspiciously, "There's nothing at the door of that tent...... Yes...... Wait a minute! There...... It seems to ......"
Lin Yuan followed Hou Yi's eyes and looked over, indeed, the person at the head of the line seemed to be talking to himself, Lin Yuan frowned and walked around, and was stunned to find that the person was not talking to himself, but was indeed talking to someone, but the object he was talking to was a disabled person who had lost his legs, this person was sitting on the ground, and a huge stump was placed in front of him, so when he looked from behind, he couldn't see him at all, and thought that there was no one......
The voices of the two people in front of him came over:
“…… Eldest brother...... Please, do me a favor, my whole family is waiting for me to feed......"
"No! How many times have I said it! If you don't have a blood reward, you can't sign up! Get lost! Get the hell out of here! The man who had lost his legs was not very good, and he yelled at the people in line in front of him:
"Hurry up and walk away for me, everyone in the back is queuing! I didn't set this rule, I can't change it......"
The person who was at the head of the queue who had just prayed hesitated for a long time, and had no choice but to leave in a huff......
The short gatekeeper suddenly noticed Lin Yuan and the others standing aside, and he shouted at a sharp voice:
"Hey!! Hey, hey! Say that! What the hell, don't stand here! ”
Hou Yi took a step forward slightly, immediately put a smile on his face, and said:
"Your Excellency...... We're here to apply......"
"Apply?? Just get back in line! Don't you see so many people queuing here? “
"This ...... Adult ......"
"Don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu, you're not blind, can't you see that I'm busy? Unless you have a sufficient amount of blood, or don't bother with the idea of cutting in line, and get back in line for me!! ”
Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he interjected:
"What is blood reward?"
The short man suddenly turned his head and glared at Lin Yuan, then snorted and said angrily:
"Hmph...... Which barbarian did you escape from? I didn't even know the blood reward of the Huang clan, and I came to apply for a ghost ......" This person suddenly looked up at the package on Lin Yuan's waist, and then said thoughtfully: "...... Well, the blood reward is the bargaining chip you use to bleed the enemy, and you need to pay tribute to the Huang clan! This is the price you pay for the honor that the Huang clan has given you! Got it? Anything can be used, as long as it is available to the Huang people...... We urgently need all kinds of supplies now, stone spears, herbs, gems, living beasts, all of them! What do you have? “
This person stared at Lin Yuan with triangular eyes and a greedy expression.
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, didn't he obviously want them to pay taxes...... But...... He had only heard that the government gave subsidies to soldiers and wars, but he had never heard that he was a soldier and had to pay taxes to the Huang clan by himself.
Lin Yuan simply said his question and told the recruiter to hear it.
The little recruiter's nose snorted, looked at Lin Yuan with disdain, and said:
“…… Phew...... It's really a barbarian who doesn't know anything...... You didn't even understand the rules, so you came to apply, it's really ...... Alas, forget it, uncle, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll say a few more words, come and ......" The recruiting officer suddenly beckoned.
Hou Yi looked at Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan nodded slightly, and then Hou Yi cautiously leaned over, and the recruiting officer said in a low voice:
"After application...... You are the regular supernumerary brute soldiers of the Huang Clan...... The rules of the Huang clan are...... When fighting the enemy, the supernumerary brute can bring back half of the loot as your reward...... This ...... You get the idea, right? ”
The recruiter narrowed his eyes, looking mysterious.
Lin Yuan saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart, these Huang clans, no wonder they have developed so fast in the past few years, isn't this just a robbery like this! In the name of fighting the enemy, he went around fighting against the weak tribes, and then in this way, he inspired those who wanted to get rich to fight for him, and the Huang themselves did not have to spend a single soldier...... In the end, the most sufferers were the poor tribes who were regarded as barbarians by the Huang people.
In the past few days of expeditions outside the Saiwai, Lin Yuan has deeply understood that those so-called barbarians are not heinous, they are just to survive, and they have to do it, if it were not for the Huang clan guarding the main road to the pass, they could have migrated to the plains with abundant land, and from then on they planted with peace of mind, and no longer had to plunder everywhere......
The culprit of all this is actually the Huang family...... Lin Yuan understood now......
"What's the matter?? What kind of blood do you have?? ”
The recruiter smiled expectantly and looked at Lin Yuan, he had already noticed that Lin Yuan was the leader of this group.
Lin Yuan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, he knew that there must be no conflict here, they had more important tasks......
"Yes...... Well, we have a very heavy blood reward...... Definitely more valuable than anything you've ever seen!! ”
Lin Yuan said in a calm voice, as soon as his voice fell, everyone around him looked sideways, and even a few people were dumbfounded.
The recruiter showed strong interest, he waved his hand, drove away the conscripts lined up in front of him, he turned around, looked at Lin Yuan, and said:
"Oh? Is it? Why don't you take it out and let us see? ”
Lin Yuan didn't say anything, he slowly lowered his hand into the leather pouch around his waist, and poured out a little white powder from there.
"It's called salt, and it's a precious artifact than a gem!"
Lin Yuan said calmly. (To be continued.) )
