49. Deliberation
Ye Qing followed the swordsman led by Ye Qing to leave the Apocalypse Mercenary Group and get into the carriage, while the swordsman led by him drove the carriage, and the other three followed. This carriage is luxuriously decorated, the horses are all horses with the blood of Warcraft, and the decorations inside are extremely luxurious, all of which show the extravagance of the owner.
A gorgeous carriage with the logo of the city lord slowly drove down the street away from the temporary headquarters of the Apocalypse Mercenary Regiment at this moment, and slowly drove towards the mansion of the Marquis of Koma City.
Ye Qing meditated quietly in the carriage seat, and after a while, he came to the city lord's mansion, and a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes shone even brighter under the respectful attitude of the guards around him.
You don't have to think about it, you know, it's Marquis Leonard, the lord of the city.
Of course, although he is the lord of Koma City, he has never seen Ye Qing before, after all, he has not been in Koma City for a long time.
This middle-aged man is about forty or fifty years old, with a typical aristocratic face, a very thick beard, but it is carefully trimmed, and it also looks more heroic Marquis Leonard, with broad shoulders and powerful palms, which are enough to show that this Marquis will still practice some martial arts to defend himself, but the gloomy and solemn look on his face is self-evident.
It's just that what Yeqing didn't expect was that Marquis Leonard actually came to greet him in person, he, the leader of the Apocalypse Mercenary Regiment, it seems that the things that the Marquis in front of him encountered are indeed extremely tricky.
If it were someone else in Koma City who was greeted by the city lord himself, he would definitely think that it was a very special thing, after all, if it was an ordinary guest, he only needed to call someone to greet him. If you don't clear the night, you don't care about these at all, after all, the original Renocasnight is the son of the prince!
"Captain Yeqing!" Leonard City Lord took a few steps forward to Yeqing's side, and after looking at the gorgeous dress of this city lord, Yeqing understood why the group of swordsmen and the guards at the gate at the moment were also dressed so gorgeously, it turned out to be the Leonard City Lord's preference!
"Lord of the City!" Ye Qing bowed slightly, saluting.
"Commander, you're welcome, please here!"
Subsequently, Yeqing was personally invited by Marquis Leonard to the living room, the two sat down, and then the maid served tea, nuts and other things to the two, Yeqing drank tea in silence, waiting for what the lord of Koma City wanted to say.
"Captain Yeqing, well... My subordinates have already told you about the gang of thieves in the Horn West Forest, right?" After a long silence, Leonard looked at Yeqing and got straight to the point.
"Yes, yes. Ye Qing sat upright and replied unhurriedly.
"You also know my current difficulties, now that the empire has requisitioned the troops that originally guarded Koma City, I only have some private troops left, and the strength is not strong, it is difficult to deal with those thieves, and some of the other big mercenary groups in Koma City do not have the strength to take on this task, and some are already doing some powerful tasks. So now my choice is only your group, of course, in terms of money, you can rest assured, I will pay for it all, but although I know that your group is now vaguely the number one mercenary group in Koma City, it's just that I still don't know the strength of your group, after all, that thief gang, but there is a magister and several war kings!"
Taking a sip of tea, Yeqing didn't have too many polite words, and muttered: "City Lord, don't worry, the strength of our mercenary group doesn't have to worry too much, but I think that the thief group is not as simple as you imagined! It seems that this thief gang is far stronger than you said! Otherwise, why would it be like this?" Yeqing didn't want to be prevaricated by Leonard's words, so he said, "You better say it directly, the real strength of that thief gang is better than no one taking over this task!"
Marquis Leonard smiled bitterly, calculated in his heart, and said directly: "Alas, the head of the Yeqing Regiment is really like lightning, and he is worthy of being a hero and a young man!" Then I'll say it bluntly, this gang of thieves was originally the famous Cuihua mercenary group, but I don't know why it later evolved into an extremely vicious gang of thieves, and now, due to the turmoil after the imperial war, it has flowed here, and now it is a mercenary and merchant who went to the Jiaoxi Forest to do a mission, there are a lot of casualties, and they have already asked for my side, but now most of the forces on my side have long been withdrawn, and a few people around me are not their opponents even if they go together, and ah, these other mercenary groups, there are also those who have taken over, but they all failed, which is why I found your group, if your group is not successful, I can only go to the imperial capital to ask for help!"
Ye Qing smiled and said, "City Lord, you haven't told me the true strength of that thief gang, so how dare I take it? After all, I also have to be responsible for the mercenary group!"
Marquis Leonard said directly: "This gang of thieves, there are probably two who have reached the Magister, one who has reached the War Venerable, and nearly four or five War Kings!!"
"It's so strong!! it's not much more than a super-large mercenary group!" Ye Qing was suddenly surprised, and even with a bit of surprise in his eyes, he began to think about it, he knew that the thief group was very strong, otherwise it would not have caused the city lord at this moment to have a headache, but he didn't expect it to exceed his expectations, but with the current strength of the Apocalypse Mercenary Group, it is still not a big problem to deal with them, after all, Angela, Lidi, Lily, General Karakasson and his father's old department have all reached the peak of the second order, especially Angela, and several people are geniuses among geniuses, they are all partners who were born and died with him, and he knows the strength of these people very well。
"Commander, if your regiment can't take on this task, then what can Koma City do!" Seeing that Yeqing groaned, Marquis Leonard was a little anxious, after all, this matter was urgent, he had already turned around, if he didn't handle it well and was deprived of the position of city lord, then his extravagant life as a marquis would no longer exist, after all, there were many people staring at his position, and too many people wanted to make him ugly in this matter.
"To deal with them, our group is not too worried about their own strength, after all, our group has the Magister Battle Venerable!, but..."Ye Qing Shen frowned and thought.
Seeing this expression, Leonard estimated that Yeqing felt that the price he offered was too low, after all, the core of the demon beast, this kind of thing is an indispensable thing for all kinds of cultivators, one of which is that it can be used in cultivation, after all, the elemental energy in the demon core has already been absorbed by the demon beast, and the energy in the heaven and earth has been consolidated and extremely stable, which is convenient for all kinds of cultivators to absorb in the dark breath, and the magic core of various elemental energy is much better than the effect of the magic crystal without attributes, otherwise, there will not be so many people to hunt the magic beast。 The second is to make various tools, and it is essential to use various series of magic cores to increase the various additional abilities of the tools.
Thinking of this, Leonard tentatively asked, "Captain Yeqing, why don't I add a batch of demon cores?"
"It's not about the demon core!" Ye Qing picked up the teacup in front of him.
"That's?" Marquis Leonard was puzzled, since it wasn't a matter of magic core or money, then what else was there?
"Then I'll say it bluntly, after completing this task, our group will leave Koma City, if anything happens halfway, we will have to ask the city lord to turn a blind eye at that time!" Ye Qing said directly.
"Why are you leaving Komar City? Could it be that Komar City is not well cared for?" Leonard was surprised.
"That's not true, I have my own thoughts, what do you think, Lord Castle?" Yeqing looked directly at Leonard.
"Okay, I'll do my best, after all, the strength of your regiment is really strong, and it's a time of war, I can't guarantee that I won't be questioned and requisitioned by the Holy See, but I will turn a blind eye!" Marquis Leonard pondered for a moment before he said, after all, he estimated that Yeqing didn't want to be requisitioned by the Holy See for his Apocalypse mercenary group, such a powerful mercenary group, and it was not affiliated with the three major guilds or the four major demon martial arts academies, of course, the Holy See would also use the imperial military order to requisition the mercenary group when the war was tense. Of course, with such a powerful strength of this mercenary group, no one wants to hand it over to others, which he can understand.
"When will you do it? Are they all still in the Corner West Forest?" Ye Qing asked again.
"The sooner the better, please ask the Commander of the Yeqing Regiment to set off as soon as possible in the next few days, after all, the caravans and mercenary groups have not dared to go to the Jiaoxi Forest recently, and the loss to our Koma City is really huge!Oh yes, at this moment, they have already set up camp in the Jiaoxi Forest!" Leonard replied with a wry smile.
"That's good! I'll take the Apocalypse Mercenary Group to exterminate those guys in the next few days!" said Ye Qingzheng.
After hearing this, Leonard immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for the generosity of Captain Yeqing, why don't you have dinner here with a few of my friends today." What do you think?"
Ye Qing nodded and agreed, after all, it was difficult to resist the hospitality, and he would have to rely on this city lord at that time.
The life of the aristocracy was always extravagant, especially the Marquis Leonard, a particularly refined man. Ye Qing followed the city lord and several maids into the dining room in the city lord's mansion, and could see a long table in the middle of the room, with a stove on the table, the flame was blazing, and all around was a variety of exquisite dishes served in luxurious porcelain.
At this moment, there were already a few people sitting at the dining table, Ye Qing glanced at a few figures, and the woman with a beautiful face and a graceful figure beside Leonard, the city lord who was sitting in the master's position, was the wife of the marquis, and the words on both sides were the friends of the city lord.
"Captain Yeqing, let me introduce you. Leonard introduced them directly.
"This is my wife, Lady Beatrice, and that is Viscount Kip and his wife in Modia, and that is Baron Cumberland and his wife in Cocos City. ”
Baron Minghui was unimpressed by the Viscountess's introduction, he pouted and looked at Salin, obviously expressing disdain.
"Oh, you're the leader of the Apocalypse Mercenary Regiment!! a hero out of a young man!" Viscount Kip exclaimed in heartfelt admiration.
Yeqing smiled and didn't say much.
Yeqing and several nobles finished their meal in a wordless answer, and then Yeqing got up to say goodbye, and after Leonard City Lord told all the details, he didn't keep it, after all, their matter was very urgent.
After that, Yeqing left the city lord's mansion in a carriage...
