Comos would love to go to Black Earth City to check the situation for himself, but he has been troubled lately. According to the scouts in the family, during this time, some unidentified people have appeared near their manor. It's very slippery, and you can occasionally see it, but you can't catch it, and you can't see anyone as soon as you go up.

Comos knew that he was being targeted by some force, most likely the Soul Thinkers Association.

He used the power of the fire element to burn the letter in his hand into ashes, sprinkled it into the paper basket next to him, and then wrote a secret letter, called his henchmen, and asked him to rush to Black Earth City overnight and hand it over to Howard. This henchman is good at stealth and anti-tracking, and soon puts MeSign in the hands of the latter.

Howard opened the secret letter expectantly and looked at it, and the words on it were even shorter: Patience, that is, come

He was so angry that he threw something for nearly another night.

Comos's henchmen were not discovered by the spies suspected of being soulthinkers, but he was unexpectedly discovered by Zeron's men. That night, Zelon's table had information about the matter, and while he sipped the fruit wine, he guessed what Howard and Comos were trying to make a name for themselves together.

The servant came in and told him that Tolhua wanted to see him.

"Father, what's the matter with calling me late at night?" Zelonger asked curiously.

Tolhua's eyes were bloodshot with sleepiness, but his whole person seemed very excited: "There is a report from the front, Furder has already taken the Thousand Sheep Village and Silverwood Village of the Tatehua Thorn, and when he was preparing to attack Ximu Town, he was found by the scout squadron of the Tatechi Thorn, because the opponent was superior in numbers, so they did not engage the enemy, but chose to retreat, and are now returning to Black Earth City." ”

Zelonger smiled, he was genuinely happy for his friend: "This is the best news I've heard this year. ”

"Me too, kid." Tolhua's finger moved on the military map, and he tapped at the city of Lidaya with Tachibana: "Now, we just have to wait patiently for Schumacher's bastard to come to us to negotiate, believe me, it will be soon." ”

Indeed, just as Tolhua had predicted, Schumacher's diplomatic envoy was not long in coming. After two days of drying, Tolhua slowly received the messenger who was waiting until his lips were about to bubble.

"Respected Black Earth City Lord, you are finally willing to meet me." This messenger's name is Leon, he looks ordinary, has no strength, and should be a civil servant: "I guess you should also know why I came here." We have always been straight to the point, nothing else, please make a price for the ransom, I want to take the two young masters back to China. ”

Tolhua said unhurriedly: "It depends on how much Schumacher values his two successors. ”

"No matter how much it is, it's easy to discuss, and please make a price."

Tolhua smiled and gave a slap in the face.

"A total of 50,000 gold coins?" Leon asked.

Tolhua said, "No, it's fifty thousand for one person." As for the rest of the prisoners of war, I'll give them to you as gifts. ”

Leon shook his head: "The amount of this ransom is too outrageous, I can't be the master." ”

"In this case, we can only be wronged that Schumacher's two heirs will stay with us for a while longer." Tolhua said with a smile.

Leon looked around and whispered, "I have a suggestion......"

Tolhua waved his hand, and retreated.

"The city lord of Schumacher is willing to pay twenty gold coins to redeem the two young masters, but I hope that your Excellency can add some more valuable things to it?" Leon said gloomily.

"Two hundred thousand gold coins? So generous? Tolhua was a little moved: "This should be Lidaya's tax revenue in the past ten years or so." What exactly does Schumacher want? ”…,

"That little nobleman from Greystone Village." Leon said slowly: "Since he is a member of Black Earth City, then, Your Excellency should have the right to deprive him of his title." A small nobleman sold 100,000 gold coins, and I thought it was a good deal. What do you think? ”

Tolhua sneered: "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with Schumacher's head?" ”。

"Two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins."

Tolhua frowned and said, "There is no need to talk about this matter. ”

"Three hundred thousand gold coins."

Tolhua hesitated: "I said, there is no need to talk about this matter again. ”

"Three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins."

Tolhua's breath became short, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "If you increase the price any more, I will kill you directly, understand?" ”。

Leon secretly said that it was a pity that he was only close to succeeding with a little plan, but Tolhua's heart really exceeded his expectations: "I understand, Your Excellency. But I think it's a pity that Your Excellency lost this opportunity. Two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins, placed anywhere, can buy the life of an heir to an ancient family, and I think there will be many people who are willing to do this. ”

Torhua waved his hand, "Go and lead your two young masters away." ”

Seeing that there was no hope of success, Leon sighed in disappointment and turned to leave.

Soon after the person left, Thor would prop up his forehead with his right hand and scolded in distress: "Niang Xipi, she is worthy of being an old nobleman, and she has a really thick background. Actually used 250,000 gold coins to buy the enemy's life, shit, I saved more than 20 years before I saved 130,000 gold coins, Schumacher, this bastard, is really a loser. ”

Not long after, Ze Longer walked in: "Father, we got the ransom, 100,000 pieces." Sure enough, war is the most lucrative business, but only if it can be won. ”

"Let Verde send 50,000 gold coins to Graystone Village to His Excellency Chen Xiansong."

Ze Longer said with some dissatisfaction: "It's too much." ”

"He deserves it." Tolhua smiled: "If it weren't for his help, we wouldn't have gotten even a single gold coin, to be honest, we'd already taken a big advantage, and we could get a lot of money just by using our mouths." Moreover...... Having a good relationship with a soul thinker who is good at war science has only benefits, not harms. ”

Ze Longer thought for a while and felt that it was too.

In the afternoon, Verder transported 50,000 gold coins to Greystone Village. There were about fifty boxes of gold coins in the village, and it took four carts to fit them.

When Verde arrived at Greystone, the whole village was in a celebratory mood, for the simple reason that Chen Xiansong's manor villa had just been completed, a bluestone six-story building that looked like a small castle, and in fact, it could indeed be transformed into a small 'fortress' at a critical moment. Because wars often occurred in this era, the nobles outside the city liked to live in such a secure building.

Fifty chests full of gold coins were transported into the cellar chamber of the manor in full view of everyone. Chen Xiansong asked Verde to stay with him to celebrate, but he shirked his official duties and left after a few glasses of fruit wine. He didn't look at Bai Min again, because he knew that this girl was not the Erna in his mind.

Da Tie sat on a stone among the trees, watching Velder lead the cavalry away from the village.

Benjamin came over with a big bowl of fruit wine, and he asked Da Tie with some puzzlement: "Why don't you go to the celebration ceremony held by His Excellency Chen Xiansong?" ”

Da Tie held the iron spear, turned his head and asked him, "Tell me, how can I have a strong force?" ”

Benjamin frowned and said, "You haven't died yet?" You should also see that she is not human at all...... No, she's definitely not a woman worthy of us lowly mercenaries. ”…,

"I like her." Da Tie said stubbornly: "I like it more and more, although I am stupid, but I also know that with my current strength, I will never be able to get him." Benjamin, you have told me that knowledge is a measure of strength, power is a measure of strength, wealth is a measure of strength, and the skill of killing people is also a measure of strength. I felt like I would never be able to beat her when it came to killing skills, so I wanted to work on something else...... Tell me how I can get power, wealth, or knowledge. ”

Benjamin smiled bitterly: "If I know how to gain power and wealth, why should I still be a mercenary here." ”

Datie was disappointed.

Benjamin endured the pain of his thoughts, thought hard for a while, and said, "However, you can try to join the army. If you are lucky, don't die on the battlefield, and have made enough military achievements, maybe you will be promoted to become a general or something, so as to get a noble title, but the hope is very slim. The army is much more cruel than our mercenary world. ”

Da Tie held the spear and muttered, "Join the army? ”

Seeing his expression, Benjamin felt a little uncomfortable: "Hey, I'm just talking, you won't take it seriously." ”

…………

…………

There are many flower beds in the new estate, so Chen Xiansong named this six-storey 'little castle' Pinhuaju.

After moving in, Chen Xiansong lived a 'parasite' life of sleeping lazily every day and getting up at mealtime.

Private guards had been set up, and both Balf and Rena had found time to recruit enough men from the mercenary guild. Because they belong to two different leaders, the two teams usually don't go the right way when they meet. There are often small frictions and conflicts, and of course, these behaviors are carried out in places that Chen Xiansong can't see.

If there are many small conflicts, they will eventually turn into major events. One day, one of Balf's men was beaten to the point that his head was bleeding and the whole person was unconscious, and his injuries were serious. These people are all his former comrades-in-arms of the mercenary group, and they have very deep feelings, and when Balf saw it, he was immediately angry, and took his subordinates directly to find Rena to theorize.

Rena was training her men when she saw Balf coming in a rage and asked, "What's going on, judging by your expression, it seems that you want to come to find ballast." ”

Balf said with a gloomy face, "Hand over the man who wounded my brother." ”

Rena also knew that her subordinates didn't pay much attention to proportion, but the other party rushed to the door, if he went on now, his subordinates would not accept him in their hearts, in this case, even if they didn't pay attention, they had to stand up, she smiled coldly: "You said hand it over?" Besides, on what basis do you say that my men wounded your brother? ”

Balf said angrily, "Who else but your men? ”

"Maybe he fell like that." A churros yelled at Rena's hand, and then there was laughter.

"Rena, do you still want to make trouble with the master or not?" Balf threatened.

"When you are bullied, you cry to the adults?" The sturdy Rena looked at each other with contempt: "Do you really think you are a six-year-old child?" ”

Rena's men burst into laughter again.

Balve's face was so dark that it was almost charcoal: "In that case, according to the rules of the mercenary world, we will fight one-on-one." ”

Rena smiled: "You are a river-level mercenary, you actually dare to challenge me." ”

"I don't think you look like a Sichuan-level mercenary." Balf suddenly scoffed: "I think your strength is about the same as mine at best." Kawasaka ...... Hehe, it's blown out. ”

Hearing this, Rena's face also became gloomy: "You are looking for death yourself, don't blame me." She pointed out: "The water in the paddy field has been drained, and the place is big enough, we will fight bulls there, and if you are brave, you can follow yourself." ”…,

Hearing that there was a 'play' to watch, the teams on both sides burst into an earth-shattering roar. Mercenaries are a profession that naturally likes to join in the fun and like violent things.

Rena walked ahead, and when Balf was about to follow, Sophia, who was following, grabbed him and whispered, "Fighting bulls with Sichuan-level mercenaries, do you have a problem with your brain?" ”

Balf replied, "I have watched her for a long time, don't you think she doesn't seem to be as powerful as we think?" Maybe she's just what she seems, or maybe she's ...... We have been trained by Ms. Bai Min for so long, the results are out, no matter what, I want to try, I don't want an outsider to weigh on our heads, and most importantly, she is quite disrespectful to her master, I think she has her own plans and is not so loyal to her master. ”

"I see." Sophia let go of Balf: "In this case, I have no reason to stop you, help me slap her hard, in fact, I have already seen her unpleasant." ”

"I do my best." Balf smiled, then walked forward.

Both are warriors, and the weapons they use are broad-edged swords.

After the pre-bullfight salute, the broadswords of both sides slammed together, and Rena's sword flashed with fire, while Balf's broadsword turned grayish-brown, like hard gray ironstone. The two seem to be on par.

Rena sighed, a little surprised.

Balf, on the other hand, had a 'sure of it' expression.

'Ulla'

"Come on, Captain."

All kinds of cheers erupted, resounding through the Greystone Village, and almost all the people were attracted to it. Chen Xiansong turned over on the bed, dreaming: "It's noisy......" and then covered his head with the quilt.

Bai Min frowned in the kitchen, she told Alice to continue cooking, and she tied her apron and walked out the door.

"Quiet, you are so noisy that Xiao Song sleeps." Bai Min said slowly behind the forty-nine mercenary guards, and the light and crisp girlish voice still reached the ears of everyone around him even in this noisy environment.

Sophia trembled, immediately covered her mouth, and retreated far away.

The mercenaries paused for a moment, and when they looked back, they saw that it was Bai Min, and some whistled lightly, but more people continued to cheer loudly. There seems to be ridicule such as "Isn't it just a maid, what ...... arrogant".

This group of mercenaries is a newcomer, and they don't know anything about the three hundred wind archers in the Dao. Because the scene was so bloody, all the people in the village who knew about it were silent, and even now, Rena and Mona only knew that there had been a big murder here, but they didn't know who the perpetrator was.

The most important thing is that Bai Min has now entered the 'energy-saving mode', and if there are unknown substances wrapped around her body, the newcomers can't see through her strength, and they all regard her as a very beautiful 'vase'.

This group of mercenaries didn't have any sense of awe for Bai Min, and they didn't even have a good impression of Chen Xiansong. In their opinion, Chen Xiansong is just a little white-faced aristocrat who only knows how to eat and sleep, and sleeps and eats, and he is just from a good background.

"Warning, if you don't stop the noise after three seconds, you will use force to achieve your goal." Bai Min said lightly.

No one paid attention to her, and the mercenaries continued to look at the fight in the paddy fields not far away, cheering loudly.

“3，2，1。 Take force and begin"

Bai Min slapped her, and the face of the mercenary closest to her seemed to be sunken, and the whole person flew up, and six or seven teeth mixed with blood spit out of his mouth......,
