The night in Ironwood City was very quiet, but some people were restless, and the whole day had passed, and the people who had sent out had not returned, and the people of the three forces were worried. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The president of the mercenary union is the most calm, as a mercenary, there is a possibility of failure, and the reward for this mission has been paid in advance, and it will not be lost because of the failure of the mission.

As for the loss of more than a hundred mercenaries, it won't be much heartache for him, although there are a lot of mercenaries, they are all ordinary mercenaries, and there are not even a few of them above the first level of strength, and the members of the mercenary union are not all his cronies.

All he thought about was how much pension he would give if something happened to those mercenaries, and then how much the mercenary union would earn on this mission after deducting the pension.

In the city lord's mansion, Greg did not wait for the return of his guards, and was not very relieved, so he sent people to investigate, but the report was that there were traces of a fight, but no body was found.

How did they know, because of Shaoyang's relationship, the Songhai City army knew that improper disposal of corpses would lead to plagues, and after every battle, the corpses would be buried, and the people of the City Lord's Mansion would not dig seriously, so naturally they could not find the corpses.

"However, there were blood stains all over the place, it seems that there was a big battle, and our people found the traces left by the convoy in the northwest direction, and those people from the Liu family also went back. ”

Greg slammed the table, the convoy went to the northwest, it must have gone to Songhai City, it seems that the operation was a failure, as for the life and death of those people, he didn't care too much, except for those guards, the others were all people from the Bush family or mercenaries hired by the Bush family, and they had nothing to do with him.

"The hateful Liu family, they dare to disobey my orders, I will definitely clean them up if I have the chance. ”

Greg found that he couldn't do anything about Songhai City and the Liu family, not to mention Songhai City, the strength of the Liu family should not be underestimated, although the strength of the City Lord's Mansion was stronger than them, it was not much stronger, unless the garrison army was used, there was no way to take the Liu family.

And if he wants to use the garrison to deal with the families in the city, there is no suitable reason, and if he is not careful, he will offend all the forces in Ironwood City, and he can only swallow this breath temporarily.

The atmosphere in the Bush house was the most tense, and the housekeeper had been waiting outside the door, and heard the sound of teacups smashing on the ground and shattering from inside the house, which was the third time since nightfall, and he had punished two slaves and maidservants for trivial matters.

As the housekeeper of the Bush family, he knows some about the situation, and the reason why the head of the family is angry is because the second master went out to run errands and has not yet returned.

What exactly is going on, the housekeeper doesn't know, only that the second master brought a team of private soldiers in the morning, which is the strongest force of the Bush family, but none of them came back, these major events are not something he can intervene in, he can only tell the waiters to be careful and not to make mistakes to anger the family master.

"Butler, the second master is back. A servant hurried from outside.

When the housekeeper heard this, he was very excited, and looked behind the servant, but he didn't find the figure of the second master, wondering why he didn't come to see the master of the house directly, but now he didn't have time to think about it, so he turned around and went into the house to report the good news to Bush Sr.

"Master, the second master, he's back. ”

"Ah, he's back, where is he, why hasn't he come to see me?" Bush Sr. got up in a hurry, and like a housekeeper, looked out the door, but did not see his son.

The butler didn't know, so he could only look at the servant and ask him to answer.

"The second master didn't come back alone, there were a few guests, they were waiting for the master in the living room, and the second master said to hurry up and let the master go over to meet the guests. ”

The servant didn't say something, that is, he felt that the second master was not quite right, and it stands to reason that even if there were guests, the second master could come over and call the master in person, but just now the second master seemed to be involuntarily.

"Guests?" Bush Sr. frowned, thinking about the identities of those guests, but instead of rushing over, he instructed his eldest son beside him: "You go over to receive me first, just say that I am not feeling well, and then let your brother come over." ”

"Yes, father. The boss of the Bush family said yes and headed for the living room, and the servant hurried to follow, and it was not long before the servant ran back again.

"Sir, they told you to go now. Cold sweat broke out on the servant's forehead, he was already sure that the person who came was not good, and the two masters were threatened to leave just now.

"Master, do you want to call more guards. The butler also noticed that something was wrong and proposed to Bush Sr.

"No need. ”

Only the second son came back, which meant that something happened to that group of private soldiers, and even a team of private soldiers and those mercenaries were useless, and the elder Bush did not think that it would be useful to bring more family guards.

In the living room, Shaoyang sat on the main seat, Guo Jia sat on the lower hand, Zhou Cang and several guards accompanied him, and the two members of the Bush family could only stand under the hall.

When Bush Sr. came to the living room, he saw that his second son looked haggard, but there was no injury on his body, but he breathed a sigh of relief, since he had not embarrassed his son before, he would not be too embarrassed by the Bush family.

"A few young talents who want to come here are all young talents of the Xu family, and I don't know what to do when they come to visit late at night?" Bush Sr. ignored the rude behavior of Shaoyang and others sitting on the main seat and occupying the magpie's nest.

Shaoyang and Guo Jia are both young, and they are not even much old in Zhou Cang, so they were mistaken by Bush as young people of the Xu family, and after the second eldest of the Bush family was arrested, in addition to being in a coma or being hypnotized, he did not know Shaoyang's identity for the time being.

"It's nothing, it's just that today, my Xu family's caravan was attacked by bandits, and all those bandits were killed by us, and we also rescued the second master of your family. Shaoyang opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Bush Sr. smiled bitterly in his heart, although the other party did not say a word of truth, but he could also roughly know what was going on.

Judging from the look of the second son, the group of people he brought with him is probably already very lucky, and the people in front of him are definitely not as harmless as they seem.

"You are not from the Xu family, you are from the Third Highness of Songhai City. Bush Sr. thought for a while, although the Xu family is strong, it does not have that kind of strength.

"It doesn't matter who we are, I just want to ask the head of the Bush family, we saved your second son, I don't know what the Bush family will pay us?"

"Before, the Xu family didn't always want to buy high-vintage ironwood, but the guest who happened to order a batch of goods at our Bush house regretted it, and in order to express his gratitude, he sent this batch of goods to you. ”

"Is the second master of the Bush family only worth a batch of ironwood?" Shaoyang asked rhetorically.

It turned out that the other party not only wanted to extort a sum of money, but the elder Bush was heartbroken, but the situation was stronger than people, so he could only let the local slaughter, and finally paid a batch of ironwood, 1,000 gold coins, and 10,000 stone of grain to thank him.

Only then did Shaoyang realize the wealth of the Bush family, and the combined wealth of Cassel and his wife's family was not as good as the price paid by the Bush family, and these were obviously not all.
