337 Expeditionary Force

"Little brother is so handsome, do you have a good match?"

The drunk Liu Yuxin was full of "charm", holding a red wine glass in one hand and a male ghost bartender on the chest with the other, looking at each other drunken eyes, with a pair of red lips held high.

The bartender, who was supposed to be new, was so overwhelmed by her sudden enthusiasm that his face was flushed, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Don't be shy! If not, why don't you let my big sister come to **** tonight, how about it? Liu Yuxin forced the bartender to the wall, completely in a posture of eating him.

"Ouch, Liu Gongzi abandoned me so quickly? It's too much! But a female ghost next to her was not happy, she accompanied Liu Yuxin almost all night, but she didn't expect to be left aside in the end.

"I, I'm going to serve you a wine ......" The little bartender seized the opportunity to escape from Liu Yuxin's "claws and obscenity" and ran away in a panic.

Liu Yuxin was not annoyed, laughed "poof", sat back in her position, hugged the female ghost domineeringly into her arms, and coaxed softly: "Don't be angry!" How could I be willing to abandon you little cutie? My room is definitely open for you tonight! ”

I shook my head helplessly, speechless at her performance. This guy is really a face control party, both men and women go to flirt, people and ghosts don't let go, as long as it's good-looking, it's her dish!

The bird meat sitting next to me wasn't much better. Ever since he discovered the Enchantress Bar, he's been coming there almost every other day, drinking and doing nonsense.

Given that there were two ghost cultivators in Long Xiaoyan's newly formed "freak" expedition team, coupled with the hungry guy Bird Meat, the Enchantress Bar turned out to be an informal gathering place for the team members. But in fact, almost all the team meetings are held here, so I have to come back a lot.

The content of these intra-team meetings is actually very simple, either Long Xiaoyan will announce the details of the new mission, tell everyone the specific departure time and precautions, or directly divide the money!

Naturally, the money was obtained after selling the loot. The income in the expedition was very high, at least double that of when I was a dart master in the caravan. Just after the snake skin, snake gall and inner dan obtained in the first mission were sold, I received a commission of 400 Yin Yuan. With such a high income, I estimate that I will soon be able to make up the money for eating yin meals and buying equipment in the future.!

In the following two months, I followed Long Xiaoyan and the others into the Dead Ze three times, and each time I was able to successfully hunt a Nine Ghost Snake. Moreover, due to the increasing degree of tacit understanding between everyone, the success rate of hunting has greatly increased, and the danger has been greatly reduced, and there has never been such a dangerous situation as the first time.

However, good luck certainly can't always be there. No matter how many Nine Ghost Snakes there are in the dead Ze, it will be difficult to find another one after being hunted by us and other expeditions. Perhaps the few remaining Nine Ghost Snakes fled into the depths of the Dead River in order to avoid our hunt and retain the bloodline of their own race. And there is too much danger for us.

The more you go inside, the more dangerous it becomes, and the more powerful the monsters that infest. Therefore, even with all kinds of attractive interests in front of them, the expedition teams still did not dare to go deep easily, lest they could not earn money and lose their lives first.

After two consecutive days of fruitless exploration, we had to give up our plan to continue hunting the Nine Ghost Snakes, and temporarily stay in Zuoqiu City to wait for new information. It seems that the income of the expedition, although high, was not stable.

This also made it so that after I finally collected all the armor, I didn't have any more Yin Yuan to customize a new short knife that was worthy of my hand, and I was still using that ordinary "big road goods". Wearing a complete set of brand-new battle armor worth more than 1,000 Yin Yuan, but holding a main battle weapon worth less than 10 Yin Yuan, I feel ridiculous!

In addition to going to the Enchantress Bar, I occasionally go to the Lotus Bar in Uptown to have a drink with Cao Zhe. The bars in the lower city can find all kinds of gossip from the lower floors, while the bars in the upper city may be able to find out the news from the upper floors. In a sense, news is also an important "resource" in Zuoqiu City.

I need sources, and Cao Zhe actually needs them. Unlike before, I am no longer a cook who has never seen the world in the longevity restaurant, and I can also get a lot of information in the process of walking darts and exploring in the city. As a pair of friends who entered the city at the same time, Cao Zhe and I often get together to exchange information about each other.

On this day, Cao Zhe told me a new dynamic, which may have a direct impact on both of us.

He said: "Shilinzhai has not been born recently. A few months ago, I just suffered a small tide attack, and recently I have been harassed by ghost bandits. It is said that five or six caravans have been sacked by ghost bandits in a row near Shilinzhai, and many dart masters have died! ”

"Has the caravan in Zuoqiu City been attacked again?" I care about it, because I've been a victim before.

"Not really. Just because after the last attack on the Teng family's caravan, the major families have strengthened the scale of the caravan to and from Shilinzhai. Of course, maybe those ghost bandits were afraid that they would really attract Zuoqiu City's revenge, so they deliberately avoided it. ”

"Shilinzhai doesn't plan to send troops to suppress bandits? It's their territory, after all! ”

Cao Zhe shook his head and said, "Because of the recent series of unfortunate events, Shilinzhai can't send enough manpower. Therefore, the day before yesterday, they sent a deputy village master to ask for help from Zuoqiu City. ”

"What did the City Lord of Zuoqiu say?"

"Actually, Zuoqiu City has always regarded Shilinzhai as his junior brother, thinking that it can share some of the defensive pressure from Zechao for himself. Since his caravan and junior brother have been severely beaten by others, he must come out to solve it! Cao Zhe smiled bitterly.

I thought his expression was a little strange, so I asked, "Does this have anything to do with you?" ”

"It's a big deal!" Cao Zhe said helplessly, "I forgot to tell you, I was just promoted to the vice captain of our team. ”

"Wouldn't that be a good thing!" I laughed, "I should have a toast to you to celebrate!" ”

"Forget it! At this time, give me a promotion, it's obviously not a good thing! Cao Zhe didn't seem to be happy.

"Why do you say that?"

"Deputy City Lord Yin has already announced to our team that he wants to form two expeditionary forces, and he will go to the vicinity of Shilin Village to suppress bandits. And my squad has been drawn! ”

Indeed, this is not good news.

"Why did he pick to promote you at this time?" I also think there must be something strange about this.

"What else could it be? It's not because of the old witch's defection! Cao Zhe picked up the wine bottle in annoyance and drank it all.

"Liquidation?" I guessed.

"That's pretty much it!"

When Wu Fang was there, because she was the leader of the Shengyang Gang, she naturally cultivated many female gangs to enter the management of the city guards, brigades, squads, captains, and deputy captains, and half of these positions were in the hands of the Shengyang Gang.

But now people go to tea and cool, once a son of heaven and a courtier. After Yin Fa took charge of the city guards, he tried his best to cleanse Wu Fang's influence and cultivate his cronies.

"Now the chief and deputy captains of the city guards are all Yin Fa's people, and there is only Liu Han left among the team leaders." Cao Zhedao.

"I guess...... She must have her part in this mission! I guessed.

"Huh, how do you know?" Cao Zhe was surprised.

I sneered and didn't answer. The last time I went to catch the bear boss in the hungry ghost pit, Yin Fa's intentions were completely exposed, but it's a "pity"! With the cooperation of Liu Han and me, we have completed this almost impossible task!

But Yin Fa's mind is not so big, and the more Liu Han shows outstanding ability in front of him, he may be regarded as a thorn in his side. How could a dangerous errand like suppressing ghosts and bandits be without Liu Han?

"Isn't that what she's kept?" I also drank the bottle of wine in my hand and said indifferently.

"You guessed it, both her squad and mine were picked. Just because there are the most female city guards in these two squads! ”

Cao Zhe beckoned to Xiaohe on the other side of the bar again, motioning for her to bring the wine. It is said that he finally mustered up the courage to ask Xiaohe once, but was rejected. However, this guy seems to have learned to be cheeky, and he still comes to the Lotus Bar as usual.

"Don't drink too much this time!" Xiaohe sent the wine over, and when he left, he poked it in Cao Zhe's head a little ambiguously, and reminded with a smile: "It's the last bottle, and I won't sell it to you anymore!" ”

"Everything is up to you!" Cao Zhe smiled like a nymphomaniac and hurriedly agreed.

Alas, another fool trapped in love!

"Actually, this matter may have something to do with you." Cao Zhe finished talking to Xiaohe, and turned his head to me again.

"Me?" I was surprised, "What does this have to do with me?" I'm not one of your city guards. ”

"Because of the large number of people needed this time, and the pressure on the city defense, Yin Fa does not rule out the possibility of temporarily recruiting mercenaries!"

"Where did the mercenaries come from?"

"You could be!" Cao Zhe sneered, "The so-called mercenaries are actually expeditions like you. It's all about money anyway, and it's about the same risk for you to kill monsters as you do to kill ghost bandits. There have been examples of this before. ”

Let the expedition go to the ghost bandits? And this kind of thing?

But looking at the tone of Cao Zhe's speech, it doesn't seem like he's joking with me. And it just so happens that our expedition team doesn't have a clear goal at the moment, so I don't know if Long Xiaoyan will accept such a mission!
