Southern Hebei Fortress

Castle Lord's Mansion

Chamber

Nie Hu City Lord sat at the top of the city, looked at the officials below and asked, "What do you think about this demon siege?"

"City Lord Nie, I think this is just a stupid thing that the demon clan does once a year? What do you still care about? Will it not be long before you can resist it at a glance?" a middle-aged man with a fat body and a big belly said lazily.

"Fat Song! This demon siege is completely different from the past, how can you do nothing like this? What do you want the people in the southern Hebei fortress to think of us?" A burly, sturdy middle-aged man sitting opposite Song Fatzi looked at Song Fatzi, who didn't take this matter seriously at all, and glared angrily.

"Qi Shen, didn't you come here like this before, what do you have to worry about?" Song Fat replied disappreciatively, not paying attention to the angry Qi Shen at all.

"Song Fatty, you...."Qi Shen pointed at Song Fatzi with his right hand, angry, he didn't know what to say, and stood in place angrily.

Nie Hu looked at the quarrel between the two sides of his subordinates, and shook his head helplessly.

Song Fatzi's original name was Song Bao, and he was the head of the civil official faction of the city lord's mansion, and all the civil officials basically looked at him as the horse's head, and he himself was just like his name, when he encountered war, he always thought of throwing himself without a fight, and was a veritable cowardice. It is precisely because of this that he was transferred here from the original lord of a city, the emperor and the prime minister's original intention was to let him change his attitude like a coward, but who knew that after being transferred, he was indeed not as cowardly as before, but he was also completely salted up. If it weren't for the great cause of the Song family, and he was a descendant of the clan, and his talent was not bad, otherwise he would have been eliminated by the Song family with his temperament.

Qi Shen City Lord's Mansion is the strongest person outside of Nie Hu, and his cultivation strength is also a late-stage demon master, but there is still a gap between him and Nie Hu, he is the leader of the military attache of the City Lord's Mansion, and he is also a battle maniac, and his shadow is always indispensable in any large-scale battle. But it was very unpleasant to watch Song Fatzi enjoy the peace he brought without doing anything, but he didn't have a big family background like Song Bao, so he had to stop every time.

Nie Hu had long known the attitude of these two people, and at this time, he had no other thoughts except helplessness. But what he cared about was what the demons were attacking the city in advance this time.

Fortunately, there is no emergency situation at the front line, so there is no need to be nervous for the time being, and there is still time to arrange everything.

After thinking about it for a long time without the slightest clue, Nie Hu had no choice but to let go of thinking about this matter, but Nie Hu had been sitting in the southern Hebei fortress for a long time, and vaguely felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, and the demon clan might not just attack the city.

"Okay, don't be arguing, this time we will deal with it according to the previous method of fighting against the demon siege. Nie Hu looked at the two who were arguing again, sighed and commanded.

The two stopped arguing, bowed and retreated, doing what they needed to do.

"Father, I don't think this matter is very simple, I have to prepare some back-ups. ”

At this time, Nie Yu walked out from the side and said to Nie Hu, who was looking in the direction of the human and demon battlefield.

Nie Hu didn't look back, and asked lightly, "What can you do?"

"It is not only our responsibility to hire a large number of mercenaries to participate in the war, to involve as many mercenaries as possible in the war, and to protect the fortress in southern Hebei. Nie Yu had long expected that Nie Hu would ask him like this, and told him the method he had thought of in advance.

When Nie Hu heard this, he thought about it for a while, there was some truth, guarding the fortress in southern Hebei was not only the responsibility of their city lord's mansion, but when he thought that the mercenaries needed to pay a large amount of magic stones, and it was difficult for the city lord's mansion to come up with so many magic stones for a while, Nie Hu was a little worried, and asked Nie Yu behind him: "How do you solve the problem of money? ”

Nie Yu had an evil smile on his face that he had never seen before, and said: "Father, it is not only our responsibility to protect the southern Hebei fortress, you said that if the southern Hebei fortress is lost, how will the two emperors deal with those families who are thriving in the city?"

"Wonderful!"

When Nie Hu heard this, his eyes lit up, why didn't he think of this?

Turning around, he looked at Nie Yu and ordered: "Since this matter was brought up by your kid, then leave it to you kid, don't let me down!"

Nie Yu restrained the smile on his face, and respectfully said, "I will not disappoint my father." ”

.....

Nie Yu first issued a notice that the City Lord's Mansion recruited mercenaries to participate in the war to protect the southern Hebei fortress, with no limit on strength and unlimited numbers, and at the same time gave a generous reward. The permanent population of the southern Hebei fortress is nearly 200,000, of which the number of mercenaries has reached more than half.

Then Nie Yu went to the mansions of those big families in the southern Hebei fortress alone, and the first thing he went to was Song Bao Song's house.

"Say, how much do you want, tell me the number. ”

After Song Bao heard Nie Yu's intention, he readily agreed to Nie Yu's request for money, in Song Bao's opinion, as long as he didn't let himself go to the battlefield, everything was easy to say.

Nie Yu knew Song Bao very well, but he didn't expect Song Bao to agree so happily, so he paused for a moment and said the amount that had been calculated a long time ago, "100,000 lower grade magic stones." ”

This time, it was Song Bao who froze, originally thought that Nie Yu would ask for 30 or 400,000, but he didn't expect that it would only be 100,000, and he secretly wondered if it would be a little less? But since Nie Yu said it, Song Bao did not hesitate, and said very happily: "100,000 is a bit less, right? I am giving you 100,000 more, and the responsibility of protecting the southern Hebei fortress will be handed over to you." ”

As soon as Song Bao beckoned, the butler behind him suddenly understood, and took 100,000 lower grade magicians and handed them to Nie Yu.

Nie Yu accepted it, very satisfied with Song Bao's attitude, and said with a smile: "Song Dashao, don't worry, this matter will be handed over to me." ”

Nie Yu left the Song family and went to the next target, the Bao family, the prime minister of Chu State.

After Nie Yu left, an old man appeared in front of Song Bao and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

"What's so good about this, send a few people to monitor the situation ahead at all times, and report it as soon as there is a situation, if they can't hold it, we don't need to stay longer, just run back immediately." Song Bao shook his hand and said.

The old man didn't say much when he heard this, nodded, and instructed Song Bao to explain the matter.

Half an hour later, Nie Yu was personally sent out by the steward of the Bao family here, Nie Yu said goodbye to him with a smile on his face, went to the next family, and continued to collect the "protection fee".

After these families knew Nie Yu's intentions, they happily paid a sky-high "protection fee" of 200,000 yuan, and personally sent Nie Yu out of the mansion.

You can't favor one over the other, can you?
