Xiao Chen didn't stop talking along the way, as if this exchange had opened a floodgate, allowing him to vent a lot of things he thought about on weekdays.

Most of the time, Luo Ling just listened to him talk quietly, but the occasional interjection often made Xiao Chen choke and couldn't speak.

"If one day there is a result, you really don't worry about the dwarves running away, let the technology fall into the hands of other forces?" Luo Ling found that she had unconsciously returned to the door of the inn.

"What's there to be afraid of? When it comes to technical exchanges, we must have scientific ideas, and we will benefit more. What the dwarves have researched with us may not be able to be transplanted into a blacksmith for the rest of their lives. Could it be that our modern large-scale industrial production is not as good as those handicraft workshops in the end?" Xiao Chen said with some disdain as he pushed open the door of the inn.

Luo Ling frowned slightly, and was about to remind him of something, but at this time, he saw Xiao Chen bumping into someone.

"Ciro, what's wrong. Makes you so flustered. She found out that it was Siro who hit Xiao Chen.

"Horse thief, horse thief, my young lady, something is wrong!" Ciro replied in a panic, "It would be great for you to come back, Lord Chen is sending me to find you." ”

"Where did the horse thief come from?" Xiao Chen wondered.

"Our friend Baron Goya has terrible news. Chen Hansheng also came to the door at some point, his face was gloomy and about to rain, but he was more calm than Ciro, "According to the information found by the caravans, a large group of horse thieves are gathering, and the target they are going to loot is our home, the school. ”

Xiao Chen and Luo Ling hurriedly followed Chen Hansheng back to his room, and before they could enter the door, they heard that Li Tianrui and the others were already fighting inside. When Xiao Chen ran to the door, a clay cup came at him quickly, Xiao Chen dodged his head sideways, and the cup crumbled on the wall with a "bang".

Then I heard Li Tianrui shouting inside: "Stone you coward, the school is in trouble, of course we have to go back to help the war." You have a kind of repeating the previous words!"

"I'm just going to say!" Xiao Chen looked at it, and it was a fat boy named Xu Huang from the business group who spoke, his face was flushed and his face was trembling slightly, and he roared: "Thousands of horse thieves! There are only a few of us and a few guns, isn't this rushing to reincarnation?"

"We are not passively avoiding war, we are preserving power. Do you understand the three caves of the cunning rabbit? We have managed the city of Suero, in case the school fails to hold, there will be a place for the evacuated people to settle down. ”

"The people in your military team know that fighting and fighting, from ancient times to the present, it is necessary to pay attention to strategy to defeat the strong with the weak, and avoiding its sharpness is also a strategy. ”

Several people in the business group also helped, Li Tianrui was not good at words, and he was choked by them, and he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to beat people.

"Shut up!" Chen Hansheng rushed in time to stop this scene, Lao Chen is the person in charge of the business team and a veteran, the most important thing is that his voice is loud enough, and this roar has suppressed the voices of a room of people.

But immediately, the complaints were complained, and the people in the room all started talking to Chen Hansheng again. Chen Hansheng was so annoyed that he had to say, "Team Leader Luo and Xiao Xiao of the Foreign Affairs Group are here. When he went out, President Guo explained that the foreign affairs team still had to make up his mind about major matters. Team Leader Luo, now everyone has two opinions: reply and not. Tell me, what are we going to do?"

Everyone looked at Luo Ling at this time, in their opinion, Luo Ling was also difficult to ride a tiger, and maybe he had to shirk this responsibility. Unexpectedly, Luo Ling didn't shirk after hearing this, and said her opinion bluntly: "Lao Chen took the people from the business group to stay." I took the rest back to school. ”

It was said so clearly and neatly that some people rejoiced, some worried, some ashamed, and some frightened. Chen Hansheng originally thought that there would always be a discussion, and there would be a few back and forths before he came to a discussion result, but he didn't expect Luo Ling to break up the matter as soon as he spoke, he said with some hesitation: "I originally planned to act together, isn't it good to be so separated now?"

Li Tianrui also said unevenly: "Team Leader Luo, a woman went back to save the scene, and these big men stayed." I can't get past it. ”

"We went back not on our own, but with an army. Those who stayed behind also had their own tasks, and according to the original plan, they built a trading point here. ”

"Army?" the crowd stirred.

Luo Ling glanced at Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen nodded slightly. She continued: "Xiao Chen and I knew the leader of a mercenary army before, and now we have sold the goods and have plenty of funds, so we are just using the money on this blade. Recruit mercenaries to pull up a team. If you can rush back in time, it will greatly strengthen the strength of the school, and even if you don't have time to arrive before the horse thieves attack, you can let out a loud voice and make them have some scruples. ”

After listening to Luo Ling's words, Chen Hansheng suddenly had a feeling of seeing the sun. After all, everyone is not familiar with this era, and the people who have been in contact with it recently are mainly merchants, and no one has ever dealt with mercenaries, so no one thought of this when they discussed it before.

Someone had mentioned asking the city lord and Baron Goya for help before, but Chen Hansheng knew that it was impossible. As a feudal lord, the lord of Suero will only be responsible for his own city, where will he care about the life and death of other people's fiefs. And the baron here...... The messenger has just conveyed a message that Baron Goya's limited force is used as caravan guards and personal bodyguards, and I am afraid that he can only provide them with some information.

Even so, the people of the school had to accept the Baron's affection, and if he hadn't reported it in time, the people of Suero would probably be the last to know about the horse thief in the entire school.

Chen Hansheng weighed it, slapped the table excitedly and said, "This is a good idea, we are a surprise army, on the periphery of the thieves, maybe we can achieve some results." I don't know how strong these mercenaries are, are they reliable?"

"The strength depends on how we choose. Whether it is reliable or not depends on what conditions we give. Luo Ling said with a smile.

"Then there is nothing wrong with that, except for one thing. Chen Hansheng said, "You stay, I'll go back! ”

——————————————————————

In a somewhat dilapidated cabin, there was a faint smell of blood everywhere.

Kalanda walked briskly from outside in military uniform, greeted a few people downstairs, and went directly to the second floor. The smell of blood was even stronger, and there was a small bed next to the window, and a man with a lot of bandages on his head and body was lying on the bed. Sunlight came in through the window and shone on the wounded man. He seemed to be half-asleep, his body twitching from time to time, and he let out a low moan.

"Leo?" Calanda walked slowly to the bed and whispered to him.

"Leo hasn't been awake since he came back the night before. A man in the shadows replied, "He would only cry out in a daze, and shiver all the time." I had to move him under the window. ”

"Who did it?"

"Yes, they were going to Montenegro and bumped into us. ”

"What about the hands-on ones?"

"Leo was beheaded, but his dying counterattack also seriously injured Leo. ”

"Adams, why are you taking care of Leo, Katarina?"

She ...... She went to raise money. The doctor had run out of ways to deal with Leo, saying that he would not survive for two days, but it would cost a full fifty gold coins to ask the priest of God to perform the healing technique. All of us together could only get seven gold coins. Adams stepped out of the shadows, a tall, dark-skinned young man who looked ordinary, but with a few claw-shaped scars on his jaw and arms, he was not an easy character to deal with.

"Raising money, where did you get the money?" Karanda frowned, and thought of something in an instant, "Is she going to use her brain again?"

"Head, we don't know when you'll be back when you'll go out and look for work. But Leo's situation is getting worse day by day, and we bosses can't make money if we don't get the task. Only Caterina could think of something else. Adams whispered, "Caterina didn't say it, and I don't know where she went, but she called Gameiro away, and Catalina couldn't suffer with him." ”

"It's not a question of who suffers. To be a mercenary, you must have the rules of a mercenary! Who doesn't know that Caterina is a member of our Blue Flame Mercenary Group, and if the matter is revealed, our reputation will be ruined. I don't care what other people do, and I don't care what you did before, as long as you become me, you must follow my rules. Kalanda lowered her voice, but in an angry tone.

She took a pendant with a yellow jewel from her neck, gave it to Adams, and commanded, "Go and take these to the pawnshop, and tell Hernando, the proprietor, that you must give us fifty gold coins, for I owe him a favor for this." When he got the money, he went to the priest. ”

"Head, this magic necklace is your family heirloom. And, it saved your life last time. ”

"Just be the first to do it, and it will be redeemed. Kalanda waved her hand, looking unconcerned.

However, Adams looked very embarrassed, he knew in his heart, the mercenaries have always lived a day is a day, money comes and goes quickly, if you rely on slowly saving money to repay this huge amount, I really don't know that it will not be paid off until the Year of the Monkey. And when things have time, after that time the pawnshop will be able to sell these collaterals.

Seeing that Adams was stunned, Kalanda urged, "You must save Leo first, have you forgotten the promise we made before his brother Edo died?" ”

Adams looked helplessly at Leo lying on the bed, and then at Caranda's resolute eyes, so he had to hold Kalanda's sword and necklace and run downstairs.

Caranda gently touched Leo's hot forehead with her hand, and also turned to go downstairs, she glanced at the few people in the room with a gloomy face, and said loudly: "Listen to me, and tell me honestly if you know Xin'er, where Caterina and they have gone, and I must find her before she gets into trouble." ”
