Chapter 60: A Bad Harvest
When he sent a message to Hua Nan, Zhang Fan was already in Anxi City, and around him, other team members were also gathered.
He looked back and said slowly, "Our top priority now is to hurry up and collect the reward, and then step up the recruitment of some soldiers!" ”
"Recruit soldiers?" Qin Yao's eyes blinked, and he was indescribably cute: "But we can't bring more soldiers and horses!" ”
"Yes, we are not like you, our prestige is already sufficient, and we can immediately increase the number of troops we lead, and now we are at the limit of leading 2,000 soldiers and horses, where do we need to recruit soldiers and horses?" Meng Qing agreed.
Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Zhang Fan smiled slightly, and finally sent the last message, and then said: "It is actually very necessary to recruit soldiers and horses now, because, after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there will be no soldiers in the NPC city for players to recruit!" ”
After a moment's thought, he added, "At least until the Yellow Turban Rebellion is over, there won't be any soldiers to recruit in most of the cities!" ”
"What?"
"How so?"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the faces of several people changed, Zhang Fan didn't care, and continued to explain: "After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is not easy for NPC cities to defend it, and their own troops are in short supply, so how can they release soldiers at such a juncture?" This is undoubtedly self-digging! ”
"That's right, most of the players won't stay in the city after recruiting soldiers, and even if they stay in the city, they may not help defend the city!" Yan Yang nodded in understanding.
"In that case, we should indeed take advantage of this time to recruit soldiers as soon as possible! But the number of troops we led is already full, so what can we do? ”
Zhang Fan smiled clearly, with an indifferent look of being in control, and said: "The so-called number of soldiers refers to the number of players that can be carried around!" ”
At this point, he stopped talking, there was not a single stupid person in his team!
Sure enough, Meng Qing's eyes lit up, and he shouted in a low voice: "Are you saying that if I don't have troops around me now, I can still recruit 2,000 people?" ”
"Hehe, otherwise what do you think I asked you to put all the soldiers in the village for? All right! Now everyone hurry up and hurry up and replenish the troops first! ”
As soon as Qiē had already said it clearly, Zhang Fan explained it again, and rushed directly to the City Lord's Mansion, he now wanted to improve his prestige so that he could lead more soldiers.
When he came to the gate of the city lord's mansion, he immediately handed the money bags to the two soldiers guarding the gate and asked for an audience.
"Yo! Here you go again! Zhang Fan came here for the second time, and the soldier guarding the door had already recognized this generous man, weighed the money bag, and he showed a satisfied smile: "The city lord is in the hall, you can just go in!" ”
These soldiers are all goods who have seen money, and now they have got what they want, so they are naturally open to convenience, and their demeanor is respectful.
Zhang Fan thanked him, Shi Shiran walked in, he had a clear goal, and walked directly to the town hall, the Yellow Turban Rebellion couldn't say when it would break out, and now there was no room for wasting half of his time!
Walking into the town hall, I saw the fat city lord sitting on the main seat at a glance, and the guards on both sides were majestic.
"The atmosphere seems to be a little unusual?" Zhang Fan frowned slightly and looked around.
Now, the town hall is no longer empty, there are a few people who look like generals standing quietly in the hall, talking about something from ear to ear, and the fat city lord's whole body is almost buried in the throne, the whole person has a sad face, no energy, his eyes are staring straight at the floor, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
There are so many people, but none of them noticed Zhang Fan's arrival!
"It's not normal! Something must have happened! Zhang Fan made a conclusion in his heart, hurriedly took two quick steps, and shouted: "Xiaguan is in turmoil, meet the city lord!" ”
His current identity is the little lieutenant of Anxi City, so he is considered a subordinate of the fat city lord.
Although the voice of this sentence was not loud, it also successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, the fat city lord frowned and looked over, and when he saw Zhang Fan, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Is Captain Feng coming?" With the bravery and good fighting of Captain Fengdu, he will definitely be able to solve my worries and problems! ”
As soon as the fat city lord's words came out, the expressions of several generals in the hall changed, and they looked at Zhang Fan with unconcealable anger in their eyes, Zhang Fan could only smile helplessly, and secretly scolded this dead fat pig for being unstoppable!
The people who can appear in this town hall are all high-ranking generals in Anxi City, and praising themselves as a newly promoted officer in front of these people is not a disguised scolding of these generals for their incompetence?
At this moment, wouldn't Zhang Fan become the target of everyone?
"It's really stronger than a pig and has a lower IQ than a pig!" Zhang Fan scolded secretly, and asked suspiciously: "I don't know what worries the city lord has?" If you can do it, the lower officials want to share one or two! ”
There was a twinkle in his eyes, this was the rhythm of a mission!
However, as soon as he said this, some generals sneered: "The milk smell has not dried up, how can we talk about sharing worries and solving problems?" We generals are still helpless, how much can you do in a small capital? ”
"Exactly!"
"Still not back? Don't get in the way of our deliberations! ”
Regarding the reproaches of the generals, Zhang Fan could only smile helplessly, and greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the fat city lord in his heart: This guy is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and he put me in this situation with just one sentence.
For Zhang Fan's embarrassment, the fat city lord seemed to have no feeling at all, he stretched out his hand to stop the aggressiveness of the generals, and said with a smile: "You don't know, the yellow turban thieves outside the city seem to be increasing recently, and the combat effectiveness is becoming more and more amazing!" It's not a good sign that our soldiers are starting to struggle with them......"
Zhang Fan was about to speak, but was interrupted by him shaking his head: "And this trend has become more obvious in the past two days, and now the Yellow Turban Army outside the city is gathering on a large scale, and the number is amazing!" What's even more worrying is that there are some places where there are Yellow Turban Army generals, which is not common in the past! ”
With a sigh, he continued: "Now our soldiers don't dare to go too far out of the city, and can only guard in the city, the situation is really not good!" ”
Seeing that he finally finished speaking, and began to sigh there again, Zhang Fan hurriedly took two steps forward: "The Yellow Turban thief is punished by everyone, how can he continue to run rampant?" Although the strength of the subordinate is low, he is also willing to lead his troops to fight to the death! ”
Zhang Fan saw that the time had come, and then said: "This time I went out and inadvertently killed some Yellow Turban thieves, I hope that the adults can give corresponding rewards, so that I can improve my strength and go out of the city to kill thieves!" ”
He is also helpless, it is said that his record The fat city lord should know it, and he will give a reward as soon as he sees him come in, but after waiting for a long time, this thing seems to only care about his own grievances, and he completely forgets about this reward!
Although I don't know if this guy is intentional or unintentional, Zhang Fan will never let his reward be lost like this, so he brought it up with the help of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Are you embarrassed?" It's a pity that his reminder didn't have the desired effect, and the fat city lord suddenly became angry, and his voice became higher and higher: "If you hadn't pulled out a few strongholds of the Yellow Turban Army and attacked their arsenal, you wouldn't have developed into this way now!" ”
"I won't let them jump off the wall! After such a big disaster, now you dare to come to me for a reward? Isn't it ridiculous? ”
Zhang Fan's eyes gradually cooled, he had always tolerated this money-greedy and stingy city lord before, and he had already accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction, and now he said angrily: "It is the duty of the thieves to be exterminated, and if you don't want to make progress, don't you want me to go and kill them?" Now you don't give out rewards, and you have many excuses, do you want to swallow it privately? ”
Between the words, the momentum of a generation of martial arts masters surged again, and the whole person was like a sky-breaking blade, wanting to destroy everything in front of him, and those who saw it were terrified and trembled.
Several generals took a step back in unison, their faces full of shock, and the fat city lord was even more unbearable, the whole person almost fell soft, and almost slipped off the throne, in a cold sweat.
He hurriedly said: "Captain Feng Du doesn't need to be nervous, I didn't say that I wouldn't give a reward, I just complained a little!" Don't go to your heart! ”
Although he heard this thing say this, Zhang Fan's breath still did not converge at all, he clearly knew that if he didn't show his strength, the stingy guy in front of him would definitely not give away the reward willingly!
Sure enough, the fat city lord secretly glanced at the other generals in the hall, hoping that they could come forward to suppress him, but what he never expected was that he responded with a look of fear.
"This person, I am not the enemy!"
"This is a peerless general, I can't be defeated!"
"Beast, devil! Unbeatable! ”
The generals in the hall were all unable to raise their fighting spirits, and infinite fear permeated their hearts, making them dare not make a rash move!
There is a voice in their hearts that slowly says: "If you move, you will die!" ”
These NPCs are no better than the player, no better than the historical generals, and they don't come back to life after dying!
There is only one life, and you will definitely not kill yourself!
For the "little lieutenant" in front of them, whose position was much lower than theirs, these people wisely chose to back down, not saying a word, and not moving!
Zhang Fan smiled coldly, and looked at the fat city lord's eyes full of disdain: This guy, isn't he still dead at this juncture? Just such a little reward, all stingy so much?
Seeing the inaction of these generals, the fat city lord was also extremely angry in his heart: "What are you guys doing to eat?" The thieves are afraid of cowering, how can they be afraid of a petty officer under their command? I have only consulted with you, and instead of rewarding him, I will get most of his booty, and now, have you not forgotten all of them? Didn't you swear just now, why don't you even dare to say anything now? ”
"What a bunch of shit!" The fat city lord finally saw the form clearly, and he could only sigh helplessly at the moment, as if he had lost all his strength, and said slowly: "Feng Duwei has a meritorious service in suppressing bandits!" Special reward reputation 3,000 points, 100,000 taels of silver, and an official promotion! ”
In addition, the title of "Anxi Hero" is given, and the recruitment and purchase of troops in Anxi City should be unified 7% off for combat needs, and the soldiers have the right of priority to recruit! ”
"Reward each type of barracks construction blueprint!"
"Reward the team leader for 5 brave soldiers, you can go to the barracks to choose at will!"
"Reward 100 sets of iron-level weapons and armor, and 10 catties of black iron!"
A series of rewards came out of the mouth of the fat city lord, and even the well-informed Zhang Fan couldn't help but get excited, and a flash of realization flashed in his heart:
"With such a generous reward, it's no wonder that this obscene fat man wants to deduct it!"
"This time, it's a lot of gain!"
