Chapter 124: Who Calculates?
They saw that there was a simple fence wall in the middle of the road not far ahead, and on both sides of the wall, there were four soldiers patrolling back and forth every ten meters, with the same footsteps, no one showed any difference, and no one made any sound, and the people who came and went were also very conscious of queuing up, and no one dared to touch the taboo of these soldiers.

Lu Shan walked to the back of the crowd in front and said, "Everyone dismount, don't speak, and pass guò in turn." When everyone heard Lu Shan's words, they all got off their horses and walked forward after him.
Although the passing crowd had to be checked, there was no confusion, and the speed soon came to Lu Shan, who showed the badge of the mercenary group to the soldiers.
The soldier didn't speak, just looked carefully, and then looked at the mercenaries behind Lu Shan, and saw that these people were all mercenaries, and they let them go without carrying anything else.
After walking a distance, Xiaohu came to Lu Shan and Ye Fei's side and said softly: "These soldiers are really strict, watching them busy with their own affairs, and without a trace of chaos, you know that this is the style of a great country." ”
Lu Shan also nodded and said: "Yes, if there is no strict discipline, how can a big country stand on the mainland for so long, otherwise it would have been replaced by other countries long ago." ”
Xiaohu shook his head again at this time and said: "But I still don't understand, the fly in the ointment of such a big country as the Haoyue Empire is that there is not even a city on the border, just a simple fence that blocks two countries, if there is a war." Haven't you been swept away in one go?"
Ye Fei also felt a little incredible, but he didn't ask Xiaohu like that, just looked at Lu Shan, Lu Shan smiled and said: "You don't know this, how can such a big empire not have a city on the border, it's just that their city is not on the border, but ten miles inward from the border, that city is bigger than the capital of our Star Country, maybe they think that there can be a buffer in the event of a war." ”
Ye Fei understood a little when he heard this, so he explained to Xiaohu: "If that's the case, it makes sense." In the event of war. With these soldiers calling the police, the troops in the city also had time to prepare so that they would not all be attacked at once, and the distance of ten miles was not far away. The hussars would have arrived in the light of a meal. It won't delay things because of this. ”
Xiaohu only understood a little when he heard Ye Fei say this. Originally, he was not very interested in war, and it was good to be able to understand something.
Lu Shan said: "Let's hurry up, we will soon arrive at the border city - Yongyue City." Let's rest when we arrive, and let you see the grandeur of the big city. Everyone was moved by Lu Shan's words, so the speed of the rush was accelerated.
Half an hour later, the mercenary group rushed to Yongyue City, looking at the tall city wall, everyone was shocked, they thought that the Star City was not small, but compared with this city, it was still much worse, the magnificent and wide city wall, the huge city gate, and the neat and consistent soldiers, all of which reflected the demeanor of a great country.
When they arrived in Yongyue City in Lushan, they were still in the largest manor in Jiuyue City, and the housekeeper walked to the front of the master's study without wind, knocked on the door gently, and an old voice came from inside: "Come in." ”
The housekeeper pushed open the door and walked in, then closed the door again, walked to the table where the white-haired old man was sitting and stopped, the old man sitting behind the desk put down the book in his hand, raised his head and said, "No wind, is there anything wrong?"
The butler nodded and replied, "Master, that group of people has already entered the territory of the empire, and now they have arrived in Yongyue City. ”
The old man was a little surprised and said, "Oh, the speed is quite fast, what are the movements of those boys?"
The housekeeper said: "The people of the eldest young master and the second young master have been dispatched, but they did not get it, but they were defeated by the other party, especially the second young master's people only escaped back, and the rest were wiped out." ”
The old man was already a little incredulous at this time, and said to the housekeeper: "I didn't expect this group of people to be so powerful, although the eldest and second people are not very good in my opinion, but after all, they are also carefully cultivated, and they can be eliminated so lightly, it seems that the overall strength of this mercenary group is good, by the way, what about the third one?"
The housekeeper continued: "The third young master doesn't make any moves, just cultivates and practices swords every day, and his people don't seem to make any moves. ”
The old man thought with some doubts, the eldest and the second people were dispatched, and it was impossible for the third to not know, but now that he could stay here with such peace of mind, could he be completely sure?
The housekeeper saw that the old man did not speak, so he asked softly, "Master, what shall we do now?"
The old man was pulled back from his contemplation by the butler's words, and just said, "We don't have to do anything, just watch them perform, and wait until these people can reach Nine Moon City, but we still have to closely monitor the movements of each of them, you know?"
The butler nodded and said, "Yes, sir." With that, he slowly exited the room.
Only the old man himself was left in the room, and he was only heard muttering in a low voice: "Things seem to be getting more and more interesting, the powerful mercenary group has defeated the eldest and second, and the strange third, let me see what you want to do?" Then the old man picked up the book, and the room fell silent.
Lu Shan and they walked into Yongyue City, walked under the huge city gate, everyone was shocked and speechless, the wide road can allow eight carriages to drive side by side without looking crowded, so that when the war comes, the troops will be driven to the front line as soon as possible.
Lu Shan looked at everyone's expressions, laughed and said: "You should each look at each other's looks now, you can know how funny your expressions are, you really look like people who have just come out of the countryside and have never seen the world." ”
When everyone heard Lu Shan say this, they looked at each other, and saw each other's expressions with their eyes wide open and their mouths open, as if they could stuff an egg, so they laughed like Lu Shan.
When Ye Fei heard Lu Shan's words at this time, he remembered the expressions on his and Xiaohu's expressions when they first left the village and came to Star City, and it was estimated that it was about the same as now.
Thinking of this, he also remembered that he hadn't been home for a long time, and he thought that when this mission was over, he would have to go home once. How can I give up the family affection that I have finally obtained in this life, I must always cherish it, and secretly set the goal of going home in my heart. (To be continued......)
