In Ji Yuanhou's mansion, the Wu brothers couldn't fall asleep after going to bed, Wu Ye looked at Wu Yong, who was looking at the roof beams in front of him, and said, "Is it the wooden hairpin that Aliya gave you?" ”

Wu Yong took out the wooden hairpin from his arms and said, "There are some things they didn't tell us. ”

Wu Ye said: "I always felt that things back then were not so simple, my father must have something unspeakable, and this secret can only be solved by ourselves." ”

Wu Yong turned his head sideways and looked at Wu Ye on the other bed and said, "Brother, tell me about my mother's parents, I can't even remember what my mother's looks like." ”

Wu Ye said: "Our mother, she is the most beautiful woman in the world, she smiled, even the flowers bloomed, she was so angry that she didn't even dare to brush her hair with the breeze." When you were born, your mother held you in her arms every day, always joking that she must have given birth to a mistake, and that she should have been a daughter, but how could she still be a son. When you were so young, your mother will tie you two small pigtails, raise you as a girl, you will cry as soon as you tie the braids, and your mother will give you candy to eat, you guy, you have no backbone at all, you are willing to tie braids when you eat sugar......"

Wu Ye said and spoke, his eyes became brighter and brighter, like two pools of rippling autumn water, swaying slightly with moonlight.

Wu Yong fell asleep in Wu Ye's soft memories, and two lines of tears fell down his cheeks on the pillow.

Some people think that power and glory trump everything, but some people feel that family reunion is the greatest happiness.

Zheng Guodong is close to Qinshui, south of Yinghuai, west of Kui Mountain, north of Nanhe, located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, not far from Luoyi, which was "in the world" at that time. The edict in Wu Ye's hand was issued from Luoyi, and the edict pointed out that Zheng Guo had soldiers in rebellion, and the thieves had captured Yinggu, Changge, and Xucheng, endangering the safety of Luoyi, so the princes were summoned to King Qin, but in fact, no one knew who the thieves were, and no one cared.

The next day, the ten disciples sent by Ji Yuanhou to Wu Ye arrived, and although Chai Zhi was not yet an official doorman, he strongly asked to follow Wu Ye, so he was also added to these ten people, of course, with two mute brothers.

Six of these ten people participated in the operation of catching sea beasts, so they had already known Wu Ye, and they all admired Wu Ye's feat of fighting sea beasts alone, plus Ji Yuanhou explained to them the purpose of this trip, so they were naturally very willing to assist Wu Ye, and wanted to get ahead among Hou Ye's many disciples, the opportunity was not only rare, but also to compete with everyone, it was far better to assist a promising new Hou.

Wu Ye soon found that one of these ten people named Meng Yue was very special, whether he was sitting or standing, he was always very different, but he couldn't say what was different, maybe it was that kind of outstanding temperament.

The doormen rationed by Ji Yuanhou have arrived, and at the same time, they also brought Ji Yuanhou's warrant, which can extract a large amount of grain and grass and the armament of thousands of people in any city of Qi State, and the rest is to recruit troops.

Although Bo Yonghou and Ji Yuanhou valued the Wu brothers very much, it did not immediately translate into actual popularity, and to some extent, the fact that Bo Yonghou met them was a secret that would always be hidden. So how did the Wu clan, who had no foundation and no name in the Qi country, recruit a thousand soldiers in a few days?

At this time, a person walked in from outside the door, and waved at Wu Ye from a long distance.

Wu Ye didn't expect Yan Ying to visit at this time.

Yan Ying laughed and said, "Brother Wu, I don't plan to go back when I come this time, I'm going to go out with you to do a big business." ”

Wu Ye said: "Brother Yan, don't laugh, I'm worried." ”

Yan Ying said: "I'm here to help you solve the problem, aren't you worried about recruiting soldiers, I have recruited five hundred elite soldiers for you, and now I am waiting in line at the school field outside the city." ”

Wu Ye was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Brother Yan is really a charcoal in the snow. ”

Yan Ying said: "Without further ado, let's go." ”

Wu Ye immediately applauded and led everyone to prepare to set off, Yan Ying wanted to speak and stopped: "That, Brother Wu, you'd better bring some military expenses given to you by Ji Yuanhou." ”

Uh, Wu Ye looked at Yan Ying, Yan Ying looked at the sky embarrassedly, well, there is indeed a white cloud in the sky.

When he arrived at the school field outside Linzi City, Wu Ye understood why Yan Ying was embarrassed, the original school field of 2,000 people was sparsely standing with several teams at this time, standing loosely, with a lazy demeanor, and the clothes were even more different, there was an imitation armor that I didn't know from which source I bought, and the appearance was very similar to the armor of the ordinary infantry of the Qi army, but if you looked closely, you could find the gap, and there were those wearing the Jin Army cuirass, this is genuine, but it is obviously second-hand, and it may even be third-handed, and the knife marks in front of the cuirass have been some years. As long as you are careful, you can also find that the armor and protective gear of the Qin army, the Yan army and other countries are hidden in the crowd, which is really eye-opening.

Wu Ye finally understood where Yan Ying had pulled this team of five hundred people, there was a special group active in the Qi country, they came from the small countries around the Qi country, in order to get rid of the life of farming, they chose another way to sell their physical strength: mercenaries. Usually their customers are businessmen who do transnational business, escorting goods across the border, fighting bandits and pirates, and their combat power is actually trustworthy, but their loyalty and discipline are too poor, and the regular army would rather recruit civilians into the army than recruit this group of veterans, for fear that they will bring bad military atmosphere. This mercenary group also has a characteristic, negotiate the price before working, and you must get a deposit to work hard, and you don't have to talk about it if you don't have money. Of course, it also happens that when you meet a despicable villain who doesn't speak of faith, you take the deposit and go back and kill your employer again. I don't know where Yan Ying fooled such a large group of mercenaries, and asked Wu Ye to bring the military expenses given by Ji Yuanhou to prevent the mercenaries from mutiniing if they couldn't get the deposit.

Mercenaries are also different, and those who come from one region often form their own groups, so of course these five hundred people do not stand in a whole queue. When they saw the real employer appear, they just lazily turned sideways and didn't make any other moves.

Yan Ying beckoned to the crowd, and four big men walked over leisurely, their eyes full of disdain.

Yan Ying introduced: "This is the son of Wu Ye, the chief general of this recruitment. These are the leaders of the mercenary group. ”

Four teams can make up five hundred people, which means that these four mercenary teams are definitely medium-sized, so the disdain on their leader's face is completely understandable.

One of the leaders spoke: "I'm Deng Long, the boss of the Golden Scale Army, boy, this guy named Yan Ying told you the price before I came." ”

Wu Ye nodded and said, "I brought all the money." ”

Deng Long smiled: "The kid is very sensible, first send the money and we will talk about cooperation." ”

Wu Ye said coldly: "Money, how much you want, but I don't think you deserve it." ”
