Chapter VI Conclusion of negotiations
"If you welcome us in Silver Tower City, we have decided to stay here permanently, what do you think, Your Excellency the Duke?" Cheng Lei smiled slightly.
Baili was in a hurry at this time, leaving them behind was like planting a time bomb, how could he rest assured: "Our Silver Tower City is overcrowded, and there is no place for you to station!" ”
Duke Duozan's face changed, and he scolded loudly: "I'm talking to the guests, where is your turn to interject!" Stand down, Barry! ”
Hearing this, Barry was like a lost dog, and went back with two of his men. Now he is not as good as in the past, his force was the strongest before, of course he can act recklessly, but now that he is stronger than him, it is difficult to say.
Duke Duozan then said to Cheng Lei: "Your request is not excessive. Alright then, Xilin, you send someone to clean up the former Duke's Palace, and use it as their station! ”
"Yes, Lord Duke!" Sirin took the order on one knee.
"In the future, I will make you my mercenary guard in Silver Tower City, what do you think?" Duke Dozan asked. Seeing that Cheng Lei and they didn't speak, he said again: "The remuneration is indispensable to you, the entire guard team has three hundred gold victors per month, how about it?" ”
Cheng Lei and Shao Qian looked at each other, they didn't know what Jin Wei was. Their squadron of more than fifty people only gave three hundred of this currency a month, what is this, can they eat enough?
At this time, Xilin came over and whispered to Cheng Lei: "Jin Wei is the most valuable and only gold coin in our Federation, which is named after Mr. Wei Ke, the first president who founded the Scorching Sun Federation decades ago. Let's put it this way, two Golden Vic can buy a horse, and Your Excellency has made a lot of money to ask for your help! ”
Cheng Lei sneered: "Compared to this city, these horses don't seem to be nothing!" ”
Duke Duozan seemed to see Cheng Lei's thoughts, and said with some pleading: "Distinguished guest, you have also seen the situation in Silver Tower City, most of the taxes and other revenues have been taken by those who control the elite guards. If you can help me regain sovereignty, then in the future, 20% of the income of Silver Tower City will go to you, how about it? ”
Cheng Lei sneered again and again: "Duke Duozan, you have a good calculation, take my people to fight hard, you sit back and enjoy the fruits of victory, and then take out a little leftover soup to reward us, is that so?" ”
"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that......" Duke Duozan was a little anxious: "Sancheng! I will give you 30% of my income, and I can't do more, otherwise those big gentry will take the lead in rebelling against me! And you just need to help the Second and Third Guards defeat them! ”
Cheng Lei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's make three achievements!" I hope you don't regret it then, so that we can continue to cooperate for a long time. ”
Duke Duozan instructed the maid to take two cups to Cheng Lei and Shao Qian, poured wine into the cups, raised his glass and said, "I wish us a happy cooperation!" ”
Cheng Lei also raised his glass and said: "Happy cooperation!" ”
Outside the Silver Tower, Zheng Bin had already instructed the team to set up tents and set up several bonfires. It is very close to the Gobi Desert, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, although it is hot during the day, it is still quite cold at night.
Those who stayed outside the city sat around several campfires, grilling meat and vegetables with a strong aroma. Everyone also got a little wine, wine and food, and the fire reflected on people's faces, and they all looked a little happy.
These wine, meat and food were all sent to them by Du Mo, and Du Mo is quite safe in doing things. Not only did they send these food, but they also sent some tent bedding or something, but they were very thoughtful, and no one could see that such a thief-eyed guy would have this delicate thought.
At this time, the rumbling chariot attracted their attention, and a voice came from the walkie-talkie beside Zheng Bin: "Report instructor, it's the squadron leader and the brothers who are back." So everyone got up and lined up to welcome Cheng Lei and their return.
"Brothers, keep you waiting. Now that I have come into this world, it is my duty to let the brethren live a good life with me! Although we are not in the previous world now, we are still all soldiers, and we must be strict with ourselves with the duties of soldiers! Cheng Lei was a little arrogant at this time, this was the first time he had spoken so formally since he came to this world.
"Entering the city today, we have reached an agreement with the master of this city-state, Duke Dozan, to become the mercenary guard of Silver Tower City! We also have our first position in this world, and I believe that we will develop better and better in the future, and we are definitely not limited to this small Silver Tower City! ”
"Work together to create brilliance!" Zheng Bin was the first to shout.
"Work together to create brilliance!"
"Work together to create a brilliant ......" Everyone is a little excited, from the trepidation when they first came to this world, to the slow surprise, and now they are slowly adapting, it always takes such a process.
"Report Captain, catch a spy!" At this time, a member of the team patrolling around the camp dragged a person towards Cheng Lei. Yes, it's dragging.
"Why is it like this?" Cheng Lei means that how to beat people like this, interrogation is not easy to interrogate.
The team member was a little aggrieved: "I grabbed him and asked him not to move, but this person still dared to resist, then I was not welcome, after beating him down, he still didn't give up, and struggled vigorously." I had no choice but to ......."
Cheng Lei understood it, and it turned out that he had met such a guy. He ordered someone to wake up this person, and the members of the special forces naturally had many ways to wake up a comatose person, and soon, this person came to his senses.
"Who are you? What are you going to do! The man stared at Cheng Lei and them with some horror, and said hoarsely.
Cheng Lei smiled and said, "Who are we, didn't the person who sent you tell you?" As for what we're going to do, it depends on whether you see what you shouldn't see and hear what you shouldn't! ”
"I ...... I haven't seen anything, I've heard nothing, don't kill me, don't kill me! "Turns out this is still a timid fellow.
"Okay, we won't kill you, then you will bring me the truth, who sent you to our camp, and what did you do!" Cheng Lei's voice was a little cold.
The man trembled and said, "Villain, the villain is a horse wrangler from the inner mansion of His Excellency Duke Dozan, and he accidentally lost a horse when he was letting his horse out of the city today, and the villain has been looking for it until now. If you don't believe me, go and ask the Duke......"
"Hmph, this little thing, will Duke Dozan have the leisure to take care of you? You don't look like a bad guy either, you can go, but don't enter our camp in the future, do you hear? ”
The man hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, and the villain will go first." Farewell, farewell. As he spoke, he fled into the distance like a rat crossing the street.
The team member who caught the man hurriedly said, "Just let him go?" His sneaky appearance really doesn't look like a ......"
Cheng Lei waved his hand and interrupted him: "Viper 1, you personally lead the team, take a few people to follow this guy, and see what he is going to do." Remember, be careful, be sure to find out who is his master. ”
"Yes!" The leader of the Viper Squad and a few members of the team quickly disappeared into the night in the direction the man had left.
Zheng Bin deliberately set up a larger tent as a temporary headquarters, and all the radar equipment, satellite receivers, and other instruments were also placed in the tent next to the headquarters to facilitate the work of the headquarters.
In the headquarters, Zheng Bin set up two marching beds, which were where the two of them rested. Although it was rudimentary, it was officially stationed, and in a few days the camp that the Duke of Dozan had promised them was vacant, and they could move into the city.
Cheng Lei chewed the barbecue in his mouth, took a sip of wine, and said vaguely: "That old guy promised to give us 300 gold victors a month, in the past, you were in charge of money and accounts, and I don't know if it's enough." ”
Zheng Bin said: "I specially sent someone to the market in the city to ask, what kind of gold is this gold is the only gold coin in their federation. It's really made of pure gold, so it's especially valuable, one gold vic can be exchanged for forty silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for thirty copper coins. ”
"Tell the point, get to the point!" Cheng Lei shouted while eating.
"The point is coming right away, do you know how much their pork here costs a pound? Two copper coins! Two copper coins and one pound of pork, that is, one Jin Wei can buy six hundred pounds of pork! ”
"What? This Kim Vic is so valuable? Cheng Lei became interested and asked with wide eyes.
"No, you've only heard of two Golden Vic and one horse, do you know that in this world, there are too few power resources. Horses are their main mobile force, and cavalry is also the sharpest type of troops. Therefore, the value of the horse has been magnified a lot, otherwise I think a Golden Vic can buy a horse! Zheng Bin said triumphantly.
Cheng Lei patted him and said: "Look at the one who gave you a lot, three hundred gold victors, you can buy a lot of pork, but you can make it!" ”
"What do you want? We need more money to spend it! And buy lots and lots of pork? Zheng Bin rolled his eyes and said with some disdain.
Cheng Lei asked strangely: "Where do you use the money?" ”
"You young master really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! Let's pay the brothers first, right? In the past, it was sent to us by the superior troops, and we just had a hand, but now there are no superior troops, and we can only rely on ourselves! ”
"What other materials are needed to build training grounds, decorate soldiers' dormitories, gun maintenance and combat vehicle maintenance......" Zheng Bin bombarded Cheng Lei's eardrums like a few treasures: "Hey, where are you going?" Don't go! And a lot more, hey...... Lao Cheng!? ”
