A valley in the province of Bana

On the steep mountain wall, there are dozens of figures climbing to the top of the cliff with their bare hands, and they are approaching the target at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people with the help of the protruding stone lings beside them and the mountain grass in the gap between the rocks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the middle of the mountain wall, there is a protruding belt of rock, which must be passed to reach the top of the cliff, and these people can only rely on the strength of their feet and the grip of their fingers to avoid falling down, while the mountain wind gradually blows, making the corners of their clothes rustle.

But these people still hold their bodies, and move a little bit gradually, and if there is a little negligence, they will fall into a situation from which they will never recover.

Just now, the last one of them was a little impatient, and one hand did not grasp the cliff and fell.

The voice of despair echoed through the valley for a long time.

This is an assessment item of the Sauron family's advanced elite level of forbearance, and only these people on the cliff can only pass the elite-level forbearance assessment to be eligible to enter the elite force of the Sauron family, and they are expected to get rid of the status of the lowest ninja soldier and get rich rewards.

However, it is very difficult for all ninjas to be promoted to the elite level of forbearance, not only do they have to go through the loyalty review, combat test, climbing assessment, water limit and other subjects, but the last one must successfully complete an assassination mission in order to finally gain the recognition of the Ye He clan, so many years, those who can obtain the honor of elite forbearance are all one in a hundred, in the ninja department of the Sauron family, there are no more than three hundred elite-level ninjas, and no more than ten shadow-level ninjas above the elite level.

The Ninja Department is the cash cow of the Sauron family, and it is the killer weapon of the Sauron family, for so many years, the assassination bounty accepted by the Sauron family has created a huge wealth for the Sauron family, and his main source of income is to provide mercenaries for other forces, and at the same time, the few shadow-level ninjas have become a nightmare that those who peep into the Bana Province cannot cross.

There had been unbelieving clans who had spoken generously to the Sauron family, and the next day the head of the family woke up to find a knife next to his pillow and his eyebrows shaved.

Bana Province is a province that does not have much real economy, one of the two major families, the Sauron family, is famous for forbearance mercenaries, and the other family is the Shuiyun family, which is famous for the Holy Hand, the Shuiyun family has a relatively better reputation than the Sauron family, and most of the famous doctors of the Holy Hand of the empire are from the Shuiyun family, but in fact, the Shuiyun family is more difficult than the Sauron family, and its other reputation is far louder than the Holy Hand Famous Doctor family - the family of ten thousand poisons.

Shui Yunjian, the head of the Shuiyun family, has publicly stated that he will not participate in the disputes of any forces, but in fact, the members of the Shuiyun family do adhere to the principle of "no quarrel with the world, hanging the pot to help the world" The ancestral training of the ancestors, most of the energy is used in the holy hand medical skills, the Shuiyun family has only a few thousand private soldiers, but there has never been any force to peep at them, one reason is because they have no ambition to fight for power, and the other reason is that in the territory of the Shuiyun family, countless poison techniques have been set up, if outsiders are not led by a member of the clan, if they are not careful, they will be heavily poisoned, and the seemingly peaceful mansion is actually full of murderous opportunities.

The Governor's Mansion of the Province of Bana

The two guards yawned boredly, when a few men came from a distance, and they came to the door of the governor's palace and looked up and stopped.

One of them stepped forward and said to the guards, "Please go and inform your family, Lord Governor Rongxi, that Lord Huang Fei, the governor of Ukara Province, has asked to see you." ”

At this time, Governor Rong Xi was building branches in the courtyard, and suddenly his subordinates came to report, and immediately put down the tools in his hands and went out.

Huang Fei saw a sixty-year-old man walking out of the door of the Governor's Palace, followed by two guards, and guessed that this person should be Rong Xi, the governor of Bana Province.

Rong Xi was dressed in a cloth robe, and although the corners and cuffs were washed and bleached, they were very clean.

"Lord Huang, Rong has lost his welcome, rudeness and rudeness......"

"Lord Rong, for the first time in the next visit, forgive the presumptuous sin......"

"Lord Huang, please sit inside. ”

Huang Fei and Rong Xi were polite for a while, and then followed him into the mansion.

Along the way, Huang Fei glanced around the surrounding environment and found that Rong Xi's condition was even worse than he imagined, at least last year, when he came to Ukara Province, there were more than 400 soldiers in the Governor's Mansion of Ukara Province, and the three major families also sent special families to repair the mansion every day, and Rong Xi's side, except for Rong Xi's own central hall courtyard, the other annexes were weeds and dilapidated, and there were no guards in the Governor's Mansion at all.

"Lord Rong, why is this situation in your mansion......" Huang Fei asked curiously.

Rong Xi looked embarrassed, "Lord Huang, you know the status of the Governor's Palace, the imperial capital needs to pay taxes from all provinces every year, Wukara Province is fine, at least there are large plantations, it will be difficult for me to do it in Bana Province here, the Sauron family is a mercenary family, and the Shuiyun family is a family of holy hands, you said that this makes the old man how to collect taxes, the old man is not afraid of your jokes, now the old man can't even afford to raise the guards in the palace, and now there are more than a dozen guards left to support the scene, all relying on the salary given by the imperial capital to maintain." ”

Huang Fei smiled, and then glanced at Zhao Tuo behind him, Zhao Tuo immediately understood, and took out a stack of chamber of commerce treasure money from his arms.

"Lord Rong, this is a little bit of our mind. ”

Rong Xi saw that the stack of chamber of commerce treasure banknotes that Zhao Tuo took out, each of which had a minimum denomination of five hundred gold coins, and this stack roughly calculated that there were at least 100,000 gold coins, he was taken aback and hurriedly excused himself.

"Lord Huang, how can this be made, how can this be ......"

is also the governor of the empire, Rong Xi really can't pull his face to accept the treasure money that Huang Fei replaced, but his current situation is indeed very much in need of this money, so although he said kind words, his hands were hanging in the air without any movement, and the thumb and index finger of one hand were tightly holding the stack of treasure money.

Seeing Rong Xi's movements, Huang Fei smiled secretly, and said with a straight face, "Lord Rong doesn't have to postpone, you and I are both imperial officials, and we should support each other, I think when I left the imperial capital, Your Majesty told me about the loyalty of the Lord, Bana Province has been so stable for so many years, and it is not unrelated to the Adult's appointment as the Governor of Bana Province, this money is not mine, it was specially asked by Your Majesty to transfer it to you knowing the plight of the Lord......"

"Your Majesty really said that?" Rong Xi heard Huang Fei's words, stopped his resignation, he trembled and lifted his robe and knelt down in the direction of the imperial capital in the east, three times in a row, and when he raised his head, Huang Fei found that Rong Xi's face was already full of tears.

"The old man is nearly sixty years old, and he has been staying in this place in Bana Province for nearly twenty years, thinking that when I first came here, the previous governor offended the Sauron family and died in bed inexplicably, I sent a lot of guards around the governor's palace every day, for fear that I would be plotted against ......"

Rong Xi's eyes were full of memories of the past.

"After a few months, I felt ridiculous for my ignorance, a family that makes assassination a profession, if it really wants to deal with a few hundred ordinary guards, it is so easy, after a few more years, I tried to change my hostile attitude towards the family forces and try to live with them, and now, I have become good friends with Suo Longkang, the head of the Sauron family, and Shui Yunjian, the patriarch of the Shuiyun family, you know, as the governor of the Imperial Qin faction, but the relationship with the patriarch of the family, how contradictory and ridiculous. ”

Huang Fei nodded, he understood the helplessness behind Rong Xi's self-deprecation.

"Lord Rong, you must already know about the three major families in Ukara Province and the four major golden families in Binea Province, I am here today to learn from you about the situation of these two families in Bana Province, the empire has lifted the ban on family conscription, I don't know what the recent movements of the Sauron family and the Shuiyun family are?"

The main purpose of Huang Fei's visit this time is to find out the news, the three major families of Ukara Province have tasted the sweetness since they defeated the four golden families of Binea Province last time, and there must be some action, the next military operation is likely to take Bana Province as the next target, Ukara Province is an important chess piece in the imperial capital, in the early stage of the family melee, Huang Fei will not allow it to lose, otherwise it will make the battle situation confusing and difficult to control.

However, the Sauron family and the Shuiyun family are both mysterious families with the strength of the Great Shang Empire, and it is difficult for the One Organization of the Imperial Capital and Huang Fei's shadow to find valuable information in the short term, so Huang Fei had to come in person.

"Lord Huang, the old man dares to ask, is the imperial capital or the Ukara family going to send troops to Bana?"

"Lord Rong, this is still difficult to judge, I came here this time just to understand the situation, in order to have a further prediction of the future development of the situation, you also know, the current situation in the empire is relatively chaotic, please be able to tell me in detail. ”

"What I know may be a little different from what you have mastered, please forgive the old man, it may be a mistake for the imperial capital to put the chips in the province of Ukara, the family of the province of Ukara annexed the family of the province of Binea this time, and on the surface the strength has been further strengthened, but in fact, it has prompted the province of Bana, the province of Black Sand, The Moguxi Province has been united, and a surround has been vaguely formed against the three major families, while the Anbang Province controlled by the royal family has stayed out of the matter, in terms of heritage, the Black Sand Province has the ancient Yehe family, the Douqi family of the Ou family, and the ability of Bana to specialize in producing forbearance mercenaries The Sauron family and the Ten Thousand Poison family Shuiyun family, wheel strength, there is the Dupont family who dominates Mogusi Province alone, and it is more difficult for these three families to deal with any of their provinces. ”

"Lord Rong's analysis is correct, but this is the reason why the imperial capital chose the three families of Ukara Province, these three families are not recognized by other ancient families regardless of their qualifications or strength, with this, there will be no situation where one family dominates, if you choose Bana Province, although the ninja soldiers of the Sauron family are famous all over the world, but they can't withstand the pressure brought by the frontal battlefield, not to mention the Shuiyun family, and choose other provinces such as Black Sand Province, it is very likely that there will be a situation that even the imperial capital can't control.

"But the old man doesn't understand, how can the imperial capital judge that these family forces will kill each other, and if they join forces to attack the Shang capital, what should they do?"

"What Lord Rong said is also what the imperial capital is more worried about, if it is a few decades later, it is very likely that there will be a family in these families that can directly face the imperial family, therefore, the emperor must strangle such a family when it does not rise, and the imperial capital will inevitably let other families unite if there is no legitimate reason, as long as there are enough tempting interests, these families will fight for it, the current situation is like a big fish eating a small fish, the weaker family will soon be swallowed up by the stronger family, and when the strength of these ambitious families does not reach a certain level, they dare not openly compete with the imperial capital, otherwise it is very likely that other families will be stabbed in the back. ”

After Huang Fei said these words, he suddenly found that Rong Xi's face was a little unnatural.
