City of Mercenaries

Divine Realm.

Located in the southwest of the Sunset Mountain City, where there are many mountains and few lands, there is a lack of products, and the mountain people are tenacious and tenacious, and they have been in the land of four wars for many years. It is the most famous mercenary land in the southwestern countries.

The brave mountain people, with the three-foot sword in their hands, have become the weakest Shanyue country, and the foundation for surviving in the troubled times.

Outside the mountain city, in a dilapidated temple. "Give, ten dollars, give half first, and then give the other half after the deed. A brocade-robed man spoke. He took out five pieces of money and threw them in front of a young man across from him.

In the dark ruined temple, the young man's face was not clear, only his eyes were unusually bright. He slowly leaned down, stretched out his left hand and quickly took the five hanging coins from the ground.

At this time, the man in the brocade robe with a rich face couldn't help but show a trace of displeasure on his face when he saw that the young man's right hand had never left his sword hilt. A strong man in armor beside the brocade-robed man said angrily: "An uneducated thing is so rude to adults. ”

"After three days, come and get the balance. After the young man finished speaking, he did not have the slightest intention of saluting. He stared at the crowd and slowly retreated.

"My lord, this untouchable is too rude, should you give him some color. The strong man said dissatisfied. "Forget it, a little chess piece, don't be angry. The brocade-robed man looked at the young man's back and shook his head.

"The lives here are really worthless. As soon as you hang the money, this kind of guy can hire a group, my lord, why do you like him. The strong man spoke. The brocade-robed man chuckled and said, "Big Tiger, how long have you been with me?" This kind of card tapping thing has also been done a lot. I don't say it, it doesn't mean I don't know. This time the matter is too important, and you and I are all in it. There is no room for error, you can think about it. ”

After the brocade-robed man finished speaking, he left in laughter. The big tiger stood in place, not saying a word. After a while, he noticed that the cold sweat was soaking through his clothes. In the gloomy temple, the big tiger wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his eyes became gloomy.

Like a ghost, the young man walked swiftly through the cobweb-like path of the mountain city. After a few twists and turns, he was sure that no one would follow him again, and the young man relented and turned to his home.

It's a self-expanding slum with sewage and garbage, and bandits and hooligans. As soon as he walked into this street, there were more than a dozen malicious glances at him.

Just glanced at the young man, and his cold gaze made the probes of the gangs on the street lose interest. Between the mountain people, even if there are no words, it seems that they can easily detect the hidden violence of each other.

"Brother Zhang, I'm back. A thug and other young man approached and recognized each other at a glance. He greeted with a smile on his face, and the young man looked at him silently, nodded slightly, and turned away.

This thug seemed to have received a great gift, and his face turned red, and he couldn't help laughing. The other half-faced thug asked puzzledly, "Brother, who is this?" Why is it so big. ”

"Brother Zhang, you don't know. Knife Zhang has heard of it. The other thug whispered. "It's really him, I didn't see it. The half-faced little thug looked at the young man's figure with a frightened and frightened look in his eyes.

The ground in this place was originally the domain of a nobleman in the mountain city. For a group of untouchables, they actually dare to build and live indiscriminately on their own territory. Of course, this nobleman is extremely angry, and in the troubled times, human life is like grass.

As soon as he gave the order, hordes of troops rushed into this supernumerary land built by hungry and outcasts. The nobleman clearly underestimated the bravery of the mountain people. These hungry people with red eyes, holding stones, dared to fight against the army.

The army, which was also composed of mountain people, was aroused to ferocity. Just as it was about to be bloodied, several fierce mobs rushed into the city. The nobleman was held hostage and forced to write a treaty of humiliation.

Among them, Xiaodao Zhang, who was still very young at the time, killed more than a dozen people in a row and became famous in a battle. Legends of him circulate around the neighborhood, but most people don't get to see him.

The knife was pressed against the door, and he gently pushed open the door of his house. The room was pitch black, but he still saw the hidden hand left on the door frame. The silk thread did not fall to the ground, and was taken into his bosom by his hand.

No one had ever come in, and Knife Zhang's face was slightly relaxed. He closed the door and tucked the coins in his arms into a secret alcove. The knife was not lit, and in the dark, he was like a fish in water.

After doing this, the knife spread out under a low bunk and sat down. At this time, the tense muscles of his whole body relaxed, like a bow full of roundness, loosening the strings. In the darkness, the knife opened his eyes and crossed his knees and began to recuperate, and he breathed softly, each breath was a moment long.

I don't know how long it took, the knife opened his eyes, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Soon, there was the sound of shredded footsteps outside. A woman's voice came: "Brother Zhang, are you back?" Make more cabbage at home, brought it to you. ”

The knife opened the door, and a thin girl stood in the doorway, carrying a small basket. Her hair was a little yellow, and her clothes were patched with an unknown number of patches. However, it is very neatly cleaned.

Seeing the appearance of the knife, the girl's thin face showed a hint of redness, and the whole person looked radiant.

"Ah He, didn't you say it, don't worry about me in the future. It's not easy for your family, so let's keep it for my aunt. Xiao Dao said in a deep voice, his gaze fluctuating slightly for the first time.

"Brother Zhang, if it weren't for you, our family would have been gone a long time ago. This little thing, which is not valuable, is a little bit of our heart. Ah He said a little stubbornly, she put down the basket, turned around and left.

Xiaodao Zhang looked at her distant figure, picked up the blue child, and sighed helplessly. He picked up a fragrant seaweed bag, took a bite and said, "It's better for people like me not to have extravagant hopes." ”

As soon as the morning dawned, Xiaodao Zhang opened his eyes from meditation. His practice was obtained from the hands of a man who had been seriously injured and died. What is particular is that the spirit of courage and one-hit killing.

Get up early in the morning to practice, and there is no room for slackness. Knife Zhang took out a dagger from his bosom, only about three inches long. There are no grips and the whole body is pitch black. The knife took the dagger into the palm of his left hand and seemed to disappear.

His palms were closed one by one, and the dagger was like a poisonous snake sticking out its tongue. After practicing for a full hour, Xiaodao Zhang nodded with satisfaction. Others only know that his right-handed sword is powerful, and this is his real killer weapon.

This move, the dragon swallows the snake style, the hidden dagger killing technique. Xiaodao Zhang has practiced for five years before he is where he is today. Before leaving the house, Xiaodao Zhang put aside the plan in his mind.

He will be sent to a palace to kill a distinguished guest from afar. He had only one chance to get within a foot of this distinguished guest. As far as Xiaodao Zhang knows, there are five waves of Rakke among them, and they will attack.

"What a big deal, what kind of person is he? Xiao Dao Zhang, who had licked blood from the knife edge for many years, was somewhat surprised in his heart.

In the mountain city, in the courtyard of a tall mansion. In a hidden dungeon, a young man in gorgeous heavy armor stood beside a tall cage. He stared at the cage made of thick iron bars, and said unwillingly: "Haven't you thought about it yet, my patience is limited. ”

There was a heavy sound of chains, and the man in the cage stood up, and the chains on his body were not known how much they were entangled, and he could not see the original appearance of the person. He walked slowly to the cage, and the guards on all sides of the young man panicked.

They are all unsheathed with their swords, as if they were facing a great enemy. A platoon of heavily armored soldiers also rushed into the dungeon and erected iron shields to protect the young man. "I'm here to find someone, I don't want to kill more, don't get in my way anymore. The man in the cage said in a deep voice.

"Whether you are a god-given warrior or not, I can hire you to fight for me, money and women, whatever you want, this king will not be stingy. The young man shouted, his eyes burning with fire.

"God gives warriors. The man in the cage raised his hand and patted his head softly, and a worn-out axe handle stretched out from behind him, and a voice said in a muffled voice: "What to say to them, just go directly." ”

The man in the cage raised his hand and struggled hard, and several chains suddenly shattered. A golden light flashed, and his face showed a look of pain, and he couldn't help but snort coldly: "This world is too strong for me, and now only the power of the flesh is left. As for the source of the power here, we need to explore it a little more. Perhaps, a way to restore spiritual power can be found. ”

The man in the cage turned around and said, "Okay, I accept your employment." However, there are three prerequisites, first, I do not kill the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. Two, I'll only keep you safe. Three, I want to come and go freely. ”

When the young man heard this, he smiled disapprovingly and said, "Don't worry, this king will keep his oath." He looked at the man in the cage and easily pulled off the chains from his body. I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, when the time comes, the wealth given by this king will definitely make you reluctant to leave.
