The sun is shining, the midday sun is shining vertically on the earth, and the cool moisture and moisture temper the dry and scorched air, which makes people feel comfortable.

Li Xiangfeng, Alberta, and Lei Tian came out of the Zhennan Wangfu and went straight to the nearby restaurant, it was time to eat, and there were more customers in the restaurant, and the three of them followed the guy to the left and sat up to a table on the second floor.

"Little man, get us some food!" Lei Tian shouted, and before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, he continued, "Simply get some side dishes, ten dry cakes, and a pot of tea, hurry up, I'm starving to death!"

"A few guest officers, the dry cakes in our small shop are nearly seven taels, and one and a half are enough for ordinary guests, is it too much for the guest officers?" asked the shop guy with a smile, looked at the three people who were sitting on the stool, and estimated in his heart that this stout looking man would eat at most three, and the other two young people who looked balanced added up to four, they asked for ten but they couldn't eat it, not to mention that they also ordered a few side dishes, out of kindness, the shop guy asked.

"If you can still lose your money, what's the matter? If you let you go on, you can go up, who said you can't finish eating. Lei Tian urged, looking hungry.

The shopkeeper said, "Okay!" and hurriedly stepped back.

"Have you heard? The tax rates of the major defense districts in the north have been raised a little more. Near Li Xiangfeng's table on the second floor, there were several people dressed as footcatchers on the table who were eating and talking.

Fortunately, our Nanyang City is controlled by the King of Zhennan, and the tax amount has not risen this year, and I heard that other places have increased by 20 percent. The other man said eloquently.

"I don't know how long the prince of Zhennan can last, we have met this prince is also an eye-opener, look at the days of our Nanyang City jurisdiction over the years, which city is not good, not to mention us small merchants, even the ordinary people are a small wine in three days, a small meal of meat in five days. The man dressed as a footrider who had just spoken said again.

"Who knows why it has risen again? It has made those peasant families miserable again, and I heard that the agricultural tax has been raised by 30 percent. The other said worriedly.

Li Xiangfeng was listening attentively to the conversation of the merchant just now, and the guy who went down to the store hurriedly came up with a plate.

"Come on a few guests, the dishes are here!" The shopkeeper put down a few plates of side dishes, dry cakes and tea and was about to leave.

"Slow man, let me ask you what is the situation of the tax increase in the north?" Li Xiangfeng called the shop guy who was leaving.

"Oh, this, I've heard people who come and go to eat in the past few days say this, and last year I issued a tax copy, and the head of the household department personally issued an order, and with the consent of the internal first assistant, this will be implemented this year. The shopkeeper summed up the news he had heard in recent days and said.

"Oh? Then do you know why the tax amount is raised? This tax is the foundation of the country!" Li Xiangfeng also wanted to understand the current situation, after all, he would need to go to the north sooner or later, the north of the north.

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard the official who came to eat a few days ago say that it seems that the military department is a little tight, and it is all used to maintain the operation of the military department. The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said.

Li Xiangfeng nodded, took out a copper coin from his pocket and threw it to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper took the opportunity to catch it without thinking, I am afraid that this action will not be able to reach this realm in time. The shopkeeper thanked him and hurried down.

After lunch, the three of them were ready to get up and go out of the city to go shopping in the mercenary guild, casually see if there was a task worth accepting, out of the restaurant Alberta commanded Lei Tian to go to the nearby to call a carriage, when Lei Tian asked why he asked me to run errands again, Alberta said that if you eat too much, you have to do a lot to send Lei Tian away, under the surprised eyes of Li Xiangfeng and Alberta, the whole seven dry cakes were eaten by Lei Tian alone, and the remaining half pot of tea was grunted down to satisfy a full burp.

Ma Fu's surname is Zhao, he has been engaged in this industry for several years, and his personality is relatively straightforward, and he and Li Xiangfeng have been talking happily along the way.

The carriage was very fast, and it took about half an hour to leave the gate of Nanyang City and gallop on the mainland highway.

"Get out of the way of the carriage in front, get out of the way quickly! Blind your dog's eyes!" On the opposite side ushered in a four-horse carriage three times larger than the ordinary carriage, is running towards himself quickly, when about to make contact, Master Zhao with many years of driving experience forced the carriage to the right deviated from a distance of one meter, the right wheel of the carriage instantly fell into the small ravine under the mainland highway, after three bangs, the wooden wheel burst suddenly, the carriage slanted to the side, Li Xiangfeng and other three people on the car crashed into a ball due to inertia.

"Phew-" Master Zhao shouted a long slogan with both hands pulling the reins, and the carriage stopped on the side of the road after driving more than 10 meters.

"Who's scurrying on this big road!" Alberta came down and complained loudly, rubbing his head, which was still in pain, and said to the groom, "Master Zhao, who ran over just now! Such a big carriage is still running so fast, I'm not afraid of hitting people!"

Li Xiangfeng and Lei Tian got down from the carriage, Li Xiangfeng rubbed the right hand he had just hit and said, "It's too dangerous like this, it's not good if you really hit someone!"

"I think this ghost thing is not beaten, it's great to have money, and it's such a big carriage to pull the coffin!" Lei Tian cursed loudly, he hit his head on the skeleton of the carriage just now, and now there are still some bruises.

"A few small voices, don't let people hear it, it's the carriage of the eldest prince of the South Gate, blame me for not noticing, otherwise I wouldn't have hurt a few people, I'm really sorry! Don't pay for this fare, I can't give a few companions!" Master Zhao said cautiously and politely.

"How can this be? It's not far ahead, we'll be there in two steps, and it's not all about Master Zhao, give~~" Li Xiangfeng took out 5 copper coins from his pocket and stretched them out in front of Master Zhao.

Master Zhao shirked it again and again, and then Lei Tian said that he would give you the cost of repairing the carriage, and Master Zhao accepted it with a thousand thanks.

A four-horse cart is driving to Nanyang City, there is a burly man sitting on the car, there is a terrifying scar on the left side of his face, his face is fierce and vicious, his thick hands are kneading the woman who is waiting to beat his back next to him, the woman's chest is full of pain, and she doesn't dare to withdraw and scream loudly, she can only beat her back while enduring a burst of low moans, hearing this crispy moan, the burly man is proud, fine, worm on the brain, desire, The fire was blazing and the whole body was irritable, and the woman who was about to pounce on the back was released on the spot, and the Nanmen Zhizhuan who was sitting opposite was watching with an appreciative eye, and his white hands were wandering between the twin peaks of a beautiful woman.

Hiss~~~hiss~~hiss

I just heard the horseman who was driving the car shouting and scolding, and several horse startling sounds followed, the carriage shook violently from side to side, and the woman sitting next to the scarred man was suddenly thrown down by inertia and hit the scarred man's broad tiger back, the woman was hit by severe pain and went into shock, lying on the ground at the back of the carriage and swaying with the carriage. Nanmen Zhizhuan and the other woman were no better, and they collided left and right on the wall of the carriage, shouting loudly. The scarred man sat calmly in his seat motionless, disturbed by this sudden change, and the Yu fire that had just filled his body turned into a raging rage.

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo--

The steered groom was obviously also a good hand, and after swaying from side to side, the four horses gradually settled down, and the carriage came to a stop.

Bang - bang!

When the groom was about to ask the prince of the south gate inside, he was pushed up from the back by a force, and he flew down and fell to the side of the mainland highway.

"You waste, how do you catch the car, are you tired of living!" put away the right foot of the Pegasman, and shouted in the South Gate Chronicle.

The groom who rolled to the side didn't have time to care about the dust on his body, he got up and knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, "The eldest prince, forgive the sin! It's not small, it's a carriage that hit me just now, and I also reported the name of the eldest prince, but he didn't stop, he didn't take the eldest prince in his eyes!"

"Eldest prince, come down and see, it's the one over there, it's not far from there, he also stopped, you wait, I'll go over and teach him a lesson." "The groom saw that the carriage that he almost hit just now is leaning on the side of the road, eighty percent of the wheels are broken, God help me, even if you are unlucky, the wheels are broken and you don't run away, otherwise the board will definitely not be able to run today, and the groom will get up and go.

"Slow down! In this Wanqin Empire, I Pi Jianyuan thought that I wanted to get angry, and it was not my turn to send a little groom!" The voice of the scarred man came from inside the carriage, and then the scarred man flew out.

"Pi, Pi, Piye!!! Yes, yes, yes, who is qualified to be angry with you. Seeing the scarred man's red eyes like man-eating beasts, the groom said resignedly.

Pi Jianyuan, the fourth head of the Longyou Mercenary Regiment. A figure that everyone in the entire mercenary world knows, and everyone knows about it.

There is a legend among storytellers that Pi Jianyuan was an orphan with no father and no mother, who was found out of the bear den by a hunter at the age of 7 and brought out of the forest, I don't know how he survived in the bear den, maybe he is the son of the bear, because he was born with innate divine powers, and the hunters regarded him as an apprentice and taught him to practice martial arts and hunt. Legend has it that when he was 11 years old, he could hunt a colorful red-collared tiger himself, and he could kill a wild boar with one hand.

Later, one day when he was 16 years old, he went out hunting alone, and when he returned, he found the hunter lying in a pool of blood, and the house where they depended was destroyed, and the gold, silver and furs that had been saved for many years were plundered.

At that time, Pi Jianyuan dug the pit with his bare hands and buried the hunter with his own hands. Pack up your remaining equipment, pack your bags, and step into the path pointed out by the hunter with both hands and a broad axe.

The D-class mercenary group - the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment disappeared from the Mercenary Guild records, and the only surviving person ran into the Mercenary Guild and howled loudly like crazy, and there were demonic monsters infesting the forest, and according to legend, he also committed suicide shortly after. I don't know how Pi Jianyuan killed an iron wolf mercenary group of nearly 120 people! I only know that when Pi Jianyuan entered the mercenary guild alone, his red eyes were like demons, and the registrar of the mercenary guild trembled with his hands under his gaze and handled the file of the registered mercenary for him, and soon he entered the Longyou mercenary group and became a captain in the mercenary group, and his status has been shaking in a few years, until he is the deputy head of the Longyou mercenary group.
