The four fields were empty, and the sound of hooves was very loud, which immediately attracted the attention of the old farmer father and son.

When they looked up, the father and son looked at each other, their mouths immediately opened wide, and their eyes bulged out! The sound of the hoe falling to the ground didn't bring them back to their senses.

I saw that under the high autumn sun, a knight like a god of war, carrying a golden light, was coming here without hurry. The knight was a burly man, covered in heavy black fish-scale armor, an inky black, with a glowing halo in the sunlight.

Under the crotch, a majestic war horse is almost twice as tall as an ordinary war horse. The knight was heavily armoured, with only four hooves exposed. At the front of the skull, there are three sharp metal sharp horns pointing obliquely ahead, which is extremely hideous!

A large spear the thickness of a forearm hung from the saddle buckle on the knight's right, pointing diagonally to the ground. The body of the spear was pitch black, the tip of the spear was two feet long, and it shimmered with a sharp cold light.

The most eye-catching thing is the pinch of red tassels on the top of the knight's helmet, which looks so dazzling.

The knight instigated his war horse, came closer, and took hold of the reins.

But he stretched out his hand and pushed it up on his face, and a mask was pushed up his forehead, revealing a young and resolute face.

The knight clenched his fists and saluted, and a series of slight metal clashing sounds came out of his body, and said, "May I ask the two elders, how far is Wuwei left?" ”

"Wu Wei? Wu uh" The father and son on the side of the road came to their senses, and the middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Wuwei is not far away, go straight west, and it will take two hours at most." ”

"Baby," at this time, the old man looked carefully, but said, "You are a soldier under the command of General Mu Li of Liangzhou, right?" ”

When the knight heard this, he smiled and said, "The elder can see that it is the soldiers under the command of the lord below. ”

"That's amazing!" The old man immediately smiled: "The soldiers under the command of our state herd are all heroes. Your baby looks different, it must be much stronger than ordinary soldiers, you are a Wuwei person? ”

The young knight smiled embarrassedly and nodded, and his face was a little stunned in an instant: "Exactly." It's just that I haven't been home for two years, and I don't know what the situation is at home now."

"What do I say" The middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the side: "This road has just been built this year, no wonder the little brother doesn't know the road." ”

"Baby, don't worry. I'm sure your home must be fine now. The old man concluded: "Even our state pastors have never been treated badly, let alone you heroes?" Go back early, your family is still looking forward to you. ”

The knight was moved, hugged his fists, and said, "Thank you for the elder's auspicious words, I wish the elder a long life and a hundred years old, and he will leave here." ”

With that, he put down his mask, instigated his war horse, let go of his speed, and flew out in an instant. The heavy armored warrior horse suddenly accelerated, as if a city wall had collapsed, and the momentum was terrifying.

Seeing the knight's figure rapidly shrinking on the avenue, the middle-aged man couldn't help but smash his mouth and said, "I'll just say it, under the command of General Mu Li of our state, there are still such elite soldiers, which are really majestic and mighty." ”

"Not really!" The old man was surprised: "Otherwise, we would have the peace we have now?" ”

On this day, thousands of war cavalry were on vacation, except for the pig po dragoons who could not take their partners home, the soldiers of several other war cavalry races all rode their beloved partners, or raced on the avenue, or flew in the sky, which was very spectacular.

On this day, the people of Liangzhou knew that under the command of General Li, the state of their own state, there were such powerful and magical troops. For a while, it was all noisy.

People can't do without this topic, and they talk about it when they meet people, and they look like they are fortunate and honored.

When the cavalry of these kings of soldiers returned to their hometowns, they were warmly welcomed by the villagers. Which village has a war cavalry, it is simply a glorious lintel. Even the village and clan elders recorded it in the family tree to show their glory.

It even alarmed the pavilion chief, the village elders, and even the county order.

After all, the total number of war cavalry is only more than 4,000, scattered throughout Liangzhou, and there are only a dozen at most in each county, and some even have only one or two, which are simply rare animals.

There are also those who organize them to parade through the streets and show off their glory.

It can be said that they will definitely not be able to rest for the past three days. But everybody had fun.

Wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a brocade night walk. Why should they not be qualified to bear such glory now?

While the cavalry enjoyed the glory they deserved, Li Zheng was worried about the development and future of the cavalry.

The total number of war cavalry regiments is less than 5,000, and the number is far from meeting the requirements in Li Zheng's mind. Expanding the number of warhorses is always a top priority.

Secondly, it has been a few months since the system was upgraded, and the synthesis of second-order warhorses has still not yet been traced.

There is also the synthesis of second-order food materials, which should also be on the agenda.

These need to be solved by Li Zheng one by one.

In order to expand the scale of the war cavalry, it is still necessary to follow a two-pronged approach. Synthesis and reproduction can meet the requirements as much as possible.

And the raw materials needed for synthesis need to be captured. Now the number of the hunting team led by Kamuke has expanded to 10,000 people. With such a large-scale hunting team, Li Zheng felt that it was almost at the top.

It is impossible to continue to expand the hunting team, otherwise according to the needs of the system, it may be that in the end, the number of hunting parties will be more than the army.

So we have to think of something else.

After Li Zheng solicited the opinions of Xun You and others, he finally made a decision.

Nowadays, the environment in Liangzhou is peaceful and tranquil, and there is an upright person like Tian Feng presiding over the criminal law, which can be said to be a road that is not left behind and does not close the door at night. And the rangers who stole chickens and dogs earlier, and gangsters, have no soil for them to continue to mix.

Although this particular class has not disappeared now, most of them have changed careers. They formed teams and often acted as escorts for caravans across states and counties in order to earn money.

Li Zheng, Xun You and the others discussed and hit their heads with ideas.

A few days later, the Liangzhou Mu and Zhengxi General's Mansion issued another decree.

From now on, mercenary unions will be established in cities above the county level.

The government will regularly post tasks in the mercenary union, and those who complete the tasks can get monetary rewards. Those who make heavy contributions can receive the title of Meritorious Service.

At the same time, the mercenary guild does not restrict civilians from posting tasks. Caravans can post missions in the guild to recruit convoys, and civilians can also post missions in the guild to get what they need.

The Mercenary Guild allows each person or team to register as a mercenary or mercenary group, and divides them into ranks according to the probability and contribution of the mercenary or mercenary group to complete the task. The highest level is nine, and the lowest level is one. And the official will strictly control the mercenary organization, and the number and armament must meet the official requirements and cannot exceed the limit.

Eventually, the mercenary union will be attached to the Military Affairs Yuan and a mercenary branch will be established, which will be under official control. And the first-class major general, Hengshan general Li Mu (changed the name of Kamu Ke to Han) as the minister.

With the issuance of this decree, the ranger group in Liangzhou immediately rejoiced.

The reputation of the rangers has always been not very good. Although there are some special cases recorded in the Taishi Gongshi Historical Records, most of them are often second-rate people who do not work, mix with the world, and are idle, and are often looked down upon by people.

And now, the state governor has issued this decree, which is a disguised justification for them.

Within a few days, each county set aside a special building as a branch of the Mercenary Guild, and then Li Mu sent talented people under him to take charge of the branch.

Soon, after the heads of the various divisions were in place, a series of official tasks were issued

Wudu County, under the identification.

The branch of the Wudu County Mercenary Union is located on the west side of the Taishou Mansion, next to the County Governor's Mansion.

The door of the guild was open, and on the side were two soldiers in armor, standing tall with spears and not squinting.

A large group of people were pointing and talking around the door, but they were all rangers. They looked at the mercenary union, eager, but also a little hesitant.

At this moment, the group suddenly gave way to a passage, and seven or eight strong men with swords walked in.

"This is the Mercenary Guild?"

The man at the head looked like he should be the head of these people, looked up and down, and shouted, "Brothers, follow me in and have a look!" ”

With that, he swaggered through the door.

The rest of the rangers had taken the lead, and they immediately rushed in.

The soldiers at the door immediately stopped with guns and shouted: "No congestion, enter in line!" ”

Seeing this, the rangers couldn't help but shrink their heads, and obediently lined up into the hall. As soon as these soldiers saw that they were full of murderous energy, they knew that they had really been on the battlefield, and the rangers did not dare to mess around.

Once you enter the gate, you will find a spacious lobby. Except for the entrance door, the two sides of the hall are painted with black paint. On the opposite wall, there were three windows.

Inside the window, several scribes were sitting.

The rangers looked around, but the man took the lead and reached the window. Facing the scribe, the ranger was not so rude, he saluted first, and then asked: "Dare to ask this gentleman, this"

For a moment, he didn't seem to have the words to describe it.

The scribe in the window smiled slightly, knowing what he wanted, and said, "If you want to become a mercenary, you must first go to me and the two colleagues next to you to register." After the registration is completed, you are the registered mercenaries, so to speak, half of the military affairs institute. After becoming a mercenary, if you want to receive a quest, you can go to the two walls next to you to find a quest that suits you, and then come to us to make a record, and then you can leave to do the quest. Come back when you're done and hand us in the quest. Rough process, that's it. ”

"Oh oh oh!" The man understood and hurriedly said, "I want to register as a mercenary!" ”

"Okay, name, age, place of origin" The scribe in the window was methodical, registered all the information of this man, and then said with a smile: "You are a mercenary from our Wudu County, I hope you can become a ninth-level mercenary in the future, and you are eligible to be received by the state pastor!" ”

"What? Can you still be received by the state minister?! The man looked surprised, and quickly nodded: "Definitely, definitely!" ”

With that, he left the window and went to the two walls beside him, looking for what he could do.

As the man got up, the rangers lined up and registered as mercenaries one by one.

But when it came to taking on the mission, the vast majority of rangers encountered problems.

They were illiterate, and the white letters on the blackened walls were smeared with heavenly books.

Subsequently, the mercenary guild immediately sent a scribe as a narrator, and the problem was solved perfectly.

"Now, sir, please read it to us." The mercenaries stared blankly at the scribe who was explaining.

The scribe smiled, and began to read from top to bottom.

"The first three missions are official permanent missions that can be done in a loop. The first task: long-term acquisition of rhinos, elephants, elephants, wolves, bears, tigers, crocodiles"

"The second task: long-term acquisition of all kinds of rare birds and beasts, especially those with special abilities, such as discharge, such as poison"

"The third task: long-term acquisition of all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs, cherishing herbs."

"The above three permanent tasks are required to be living things, and dead things are not required."

"The fourth task: to find out all kinds of information about the three assistants in the pass, and reward them according to the importance of the information."

"The Fourth Mission: Escorting the Displaced People into Liangzhou"
