Volume 2: Mercenary Prosperity

Red Dust Inn

Tianyun City, as the capital of Zhongzhou Dafeng, although it is in the troubled times, it still does not reduce its prosperity as the largest city in Zhongzhou. During the day, the street restaurants are bustling with activity, and even barbarian and wing traders from all over the country are in an endless stream, and all kinds of cries and cries in the bazaar come and go. At night, the imperial city is brightly lit, the night market does not end until the early hours of the morning, and brothels, gambling houses and other places are open all night, which is incomparable to the capital of any country in the six countries of Zhongzhou.

Since the change of Tianyun City, the entire Tianyun City has been permeated with a calm and extravagant atmosphere.

Hongchen Inn is the largest restaurant in Tianyun City, where it receives thousands of guests every day, and it is rumored that Hongchen Inn earns tens of thousands of gold every day. The owner of the restaurant is a beautiful woman in her thirties, known as Yan Siniang, and the guests call her "Siniang". Yan Siniang walked the rivers and lakes in her early years, a martial arts, and it seems that there are still some relationships in the court, so although there are no guards in the Hongchen Inn, no one dares to make trouble in the inn, Yan Siniang is also a good businessman, there are storytellers, singers, shadow puppets in the restaurant, and even a small gambling house, and in a few years, the Hongchen Inn has become the largest restaurant in the entire Tianyun City and even in the entire Zhongzhou.

"Yo Nangong Gongzi, it's still the old position, it's all ready for you!" Yan Siniang greeted the people who entered the store warmly.

"Then thank you Siniang." Nangong Bai smiled and nodded, and he didn't need a guy to lead the way, he entered a private room by himself, and he had obviously been here for a long time.

After a while, a group of four people came in from outside the restaurant, three men and one woman, all sixteen or seventeen years old, their faces were tight, and they all carried blades, but the people in the restaurant were not surprised, military generals and soldiers, heroes of the rivers and lakes, who came to the Hongchen Inn without a weapon. didn't wait for the guy to say hello, Yan Siniang had already greeted him with a smile on his face, "A few people are pleased", if you want to keep repeat customers, this is the first time that Siniang, the boss, has to come in person.

"Oh, don't bother Siniang, we are with Nangong Bai." First, a young man in black stepped forward and said, the knife in the young man's hand was five feet long.

"Oh, young man, please." Yan Siniang led the four of them to Nangong Bai's private room, and wondered that the other party actually knew her.

"Thank you, Siniang." When she arrived at the door of the private room, Yan Siniang did not go in again.

"It's strange, this Nangong Bai actually has so many friends, why haven't I seen them before?" Yan Siniang shook her head and didn't think about it, and went to the lobby to greet the guests.

"Okay, you Nangong Bai, tricked our brother into coming here, why do you have a mercenary group, people? Why are you alone?! ”

Nangong Bai was just about to take a sip of wine in the private room, and was shocked by this scolding, and the wine glass almost fell off, he looked up and saw that it was Bai Yan, Bai Lang, Lei Xiao and Meteor Frost who came in, and it was Lei Xiao who spoke.

The private room is still very spacious, and there is a rectangular wooden table in the middle, which can make more than twenty people, and Nangong Bai is sitting at the table at this time. The four of them came over and sat down, Lei Xiao was obviously angry, and put a dagger into Nangong Bai's table with a "poof", "Give us an explanation, otherwise you will look good." ”

Bai Lang was secretly amused when he saw Lei Xiao's appearance, Lei Xiao's own dragoon spear was too big to be inserted on the table, and he refused to lose his momentum, he looked left and right, and he pulled out the dagger on the waist of the meteor frost next to him and threw it over.

"Hey, don't get excited, don't get excited, listen to me." Nangong Bai put on an overly frightened look to beg for mercy, and Lei Xiao stepped forward to accept the dagger, turned around and respectfully returned the meteor frost that was glaring at him.

Nangong Bai saw that Lei Xiao had accepted the dagger, and Meteor Frost obviously wouldn't let him pull out the dagger for the second time, so he became angry again, "Who said I don't have a mercenary group anymore, I'm still the head of the group, it's just that there are no team members, but now I have it!" Saying that, Nangong Bai swept the four of them, and nodded with satisfaction.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson today, the empty glove white wolf thing!" After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he went to touch the gun, but was stopped by Bai Yan.

"Nangong means to form a mercenary group with us?!" Bai Yan, who had not spoken, asked, frowning as he asked, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.

"Yes, it is not so easy to gain a foothold in the troubled times, and now there are many factions, mainly the military strength of the major vassal states, and the new forces will inevitably be suppressed if they want to rise. But the mercenary group is different, the mercenary group accepts anyone's business, and it is easy to accumulate a lot of wealth, and the princes are generally inconvenient to do some things by themselves, so they can only turn to the mercenaries at this time, so the princely states generally will not take action against the mercenaries, otherwise they will cut off their own way. Moreover, mercenaries are rampant in troubled times, and everyone in the mercenary group is not surprised, so they don't have to worry about causing trouble. After speaking, Nangong Bai raised his eyes and observed the expressions of several people.

Bai Yan's brows tightened, Meteor Frost and Bai Lang had no expression, but Lei Xiao on the side quieted down, as if he was seriously thinking about this problem.

"Hmm", Lei Xiao paced back and forth in the room with his hand on his forehead, looking like a sage and a great Confucian who was worried about the country and the people, "Then you have to ask those employers for money, otherwise you don't have to talk about it." ”
