Chapter 18: We Went on the Expedition
There is such a thing as luck in this world, and I couldn't feel it before, until Xia Li was reincarnated as an elf, no one could beat her in shaking the dice and guessing the boxing, and Yang Fei was sure that people have a fate. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Since the number of lives is decided by the heavens, it doesn't matter what to do?...... How can it be......
On the second day, Paul and AndrΓ© recruited 80 people through personal connections, and Paul said that they were all experts in a hundred and reliable enough, but they spent a lot of money on the settling-in fee. Coupled with the small expenses of the previous twenty-five people, the recruitment fee before leaving the imperial capital was five thousand gold coins.
Hogg only gave a total of 30,000 gold coins, and before he went out, one-sixth of it had already been used up, and only a hundred people had been raised, not counting the expenses of the future journey.
"Eighty men were given fifty gold coins each, the amount to be paid in one lump sum, and the other twenty-five men were ten gold each, three gold advanced before they went out and seven gold when they returned. In addition to the miscellaneous things such as horse food, the total cost is 5,000 gold coins. β
Xing Jun just read Paul's list of accounts and nodded.
"Xing Jun!"
Seeing this, Andre stopped Xing Jun, who wanted to leave.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you!"
Yang Fei thought to himself that some of the five thousand gold coins must have fallen into their hands, and as for how many, Yang Fei was not sure. This kind of thing can't be pointed out, Xing Jun must know it, but he is very calm on his face.
The night before departure, Dong Quanlin Long found them.
"You're all warriors, and there's no shortage of mages in the ranks, so let's join. β
Needless to say, Dong Quan was an ordinary first-turn mage, but Lin Long was actually a second-turn elemental mage, which surprised them. There was actually someone who turned earlier than Xing Jun, and they couldn't help but pay attention to him when they looked at each other.
On the day of departure, at the gate of the city gate, Tang Xian Ding Dong, who had prepared his suits, was guarding there, and there were three little girls waiting on the side.
"Of all the brave men, I'm the only one who has turned to a monk and knows how to heal, so Leo forced me to join ....... Ni Ni's pitiful dictation has a look of knowing why she was so in the first place.
"I'm following you to protect Ni Ni. "The cuckoo kites of the mage group joined in.
The last girl attracted Xing Jun, and she looked directly at Xing Jun with her big eyes: "Let me follow you, I won't make trouble for you." β
Xing Jun thought about it carefully, then thought about it, thought hard, and finally spit out two words.
"No, I can't. β
Xing Jun led the horse and wanted to leave, but she stood in front of him.
"Why !?"
Xing Jun said coldly:
"I heard that you are addicted to drugs, are you really not going to give us trouble?"
The blood on her face faded suddenly, and it was pale and terrifying.
Xing Jun turned over and wanted to leave, but she quickly blocked in front of his horse, and blocked in front of him again.
"I'll make the Ideal Township dilution, and I'll do what you know, and make sure it's foolproof. β
Tang Xian came over to help persuade him: "Let's join the team together, this is everyone's heart." β
"Hmph! The battlefield is not a place for women to go, don't blame me when you die. β
This excuse is not very good, I don't like women to go to the battlefield, why don't you say this to Du Ni Ni, but to the squad leader.
At this point, Xing Jun and his entourage, a total of 116 people, left the imperial capital and headed for the west.
The march was very hard, and it was necessary to ride horses, and it was very difficult to ride horses all day long, Yang Fei and Xing Jun were both trained to ride horses, and the rest of the people were not so good. After a few days, Tang Xian Ding Dong was sad to death, and the broken skin on Lin Long's inner thigh even began to suppurate, and he was forced to get into the girls' carriage.
Yang Fei is actually very emotional, the boys in the expedition group are very tough, and they will not easily get into the carriage unless they have to.
The squad leader Mo Huijun is very sticky to Paul, and Paul also takes care of Mo Huijun, every time he passes by the towns and villages, the two always disappear in pairs, and then appear together with a smile. Did the two have an adulterous relationship? Mo Huijun's reputation after coming to another world is getting worse and worse, I heard that there are "dirty deals" in private, maybe the two really have a leg behind them?
"Wow, what are you hitting me for?"
Xing Jun smiled and walked around to Yang Fei.
"You're laughing so obscenely, you must not be thinking of anything good. β
"How can there be ......?"
"Actually, I admire Mo Huijun very much. β
"What did you say?"
"She followed Paul to buy things, replenish the marching supplies, learn about the market prices, folk customs, and learn how to communicate with the people here, this is very WTO, isn't it?"
"That's right......" Yang Fei nodded.
"I want her!"
"What!?" Yang Fei was stunned.
"I need her, we will have a force of our own in the future, there will be a lot of relationships to deal with in the future, a lot of internal things to deal with, these things are cumbersome to deal with, and she will definitely be useful in the future. β
"Oh......" is what it means.
Xing Jun patted Yang Fei on the shoulder and left, Yang Fei thought that it was time to buy something he needed.
The farther you go west, the fewer towns you will pass through, just out of the imperial capital can pass through a small town in a day, during which you will encounter more villages, and now you can only see a small town after walking for three or four days, fortunately, the materials in the town are quite complete, and everything you need for life can be bought.
Paul said that in the really remote west, supplies could only be made through villages, only food, and if the boots were rotten, the knives and flints were lost, the clothes or harness were broken, and so on, they had to find their own way. At least the men in this world are not stained with women's red, and they don't mend their own clothes.
Speaking of boots...... Yang Fei looked down at his feet, is it time to buy a new pair, even if it is not bad, he should buy a new pair to replace it, people in this world don't seem to be very particular, a pair of shoes are worn until they are bad.
A brand new pair of boots appeared in front of Yang Fei's eyes, riding boots.
"For you, I feel like you need it. β
"Oh!!Thank you!!"
She is a chuber, with a pair of smart big eyes, a very full forehead, a melon seed face, now she has bangs, and her long hair has a perm ......? The ends of her hair are a little curly, which is very good-looking, but how did she do it in another world? She is a beautiful girl, I heard that she had a boyfriend, but Yang Fei didn't mind.
The gifts she chose for Yang Fei were great, neither Xing Jun Tang Xian nor Ding Dong Linlong had a pair of riding boots, these riding boots were thin-soled, the boots were smooth, and they were very beautiful.
"You have to be careful of Xing Jun. β
"Huh?"
This abrupt sentence caught Yang Fei off guard, and he stared at the beautiful girl suspiciously, and she nodded her head with her hand.
"You've been living in the same bedroom with him for so long, haven't you noticed it?"
"You mean...... What's wrong with his head?"
She smiled and left.
I say...... ......Didn't she give me something because she was interested in me? Yang Fei thought to himself, things don't seem to be so simple......
Time flew by, and the group walked west for twenty-six days. A few young men gradually adapted to this life, and they recruited mercenaries along the way, and the number gradually reached one hundred and eighty-eight.
Some sneaky figures began to appear in the wilderness, and even Yang Fei, a 24K pure novice, could sense that someone was observing them, let alone someone else......
Paul called the big guy into the woods to talk. There are three representatives of the imperial capital soldiers, two representatives of mercenaries, and all the male warriors of another world.
"The western part of the empire borders the Demon Realm, and the conflict and turmoil have led to low security and thieves. As you can see, these thieves and rats are quite fat, and dare to haunt us in broad daylight, and we have to get rid of them. β
Andrei was the first to speak, and there was no opposition.
"We've got our tongues on our feet and we have gotten the exact location of the bandits' dens so we can sneak up on them. β
Paul's words stirred up the crowd, and they all nodded their heads in approval.
But there were three hundred of them. β
The whole venue fell silent suddenly, and Yang Fei suddenly wanted to laugh, and he really felt like he could hear the needle on the ground.
The ratio of friend to foe is three to two.
"My lord, did I hear you right?
Andrei answered him in the affirmative.
"Only more than three hundred, not less than three hundred. β
Mercenary: "Oh...... The Lord God is above. β
The elder imperial capital soldier spoke: "My lord, will there be too much?" β
"How many enemies there are?"
"Yes, my lord, aren't we going to crusade against the monsters of the west......?
"We should do it!"
The young Imperial Capital soldier suddenly stood up firmly.
"That's what I'm supposed to do. β
"That's right, it's incumbent. Tang Xian, the brave, was not far behind, and Ding Dong Dongquan beside him also thought that he should fight.
The blood is really strong...... But there are 300 enemies in total! What about Xing Jun? Paul Andre should have been angry with Xing Jun, right? Perhaps sensing Yang Fei's gaze, Xing Jun stood up and spoke firmly.
"We must do it, and we just want to ask everyone to come out to explain the content of the battle, and the time of the battle is tonight. β
