Chapter 37: Feeling Angry
With that, he took Zhang Ba and prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
"What's the matter?" Draxel asked, a little impatiently.
"That...... Can you tell me, what's your name? ”
"Why are you asking this, I saved you just by the way, I happened to pass by, should you ...... Let's make a promise. ”
Huo Yu's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Ask what's wrong with your name!" Do I want to know your name, what's wrong? I want Miss Ben to make a promise, you dream, I'm just curious, I love to say it, don't say it, don't talk about it. ”
"Okay, okay, my name is Wooden Fish, Wood of Wood, Fish of Shrimp. There will be no time in the future! Bye. With a wave of his hand, Drassel walked away in style. Draxel is not worried, his appearance is easy to bear, even if he meets him in the future, Fire Feather will not recognize him.
Seeing Draxel leaving, Huo Yu smiled and said, "Wooden fish! What a simple name, you wait, I'...... I will definitely find yours, and when the time comes, I will make you look good. ”
Draxel, who originally wanted to continue shopping, dragged a Zhang Ba in his hand, and he had no choice but to find a cloth bag, put Zhang Ba in it, found the original hole, and left the Qingwu Academy.
After coming to the teahouse, Cheng Haotian and Luo Cheng were already chatting in the private room, and when they saw Drasseur coming back, Cheng Haotian said, "Mu Gongzi, you are back." ”
Cheng Haotian took out a wooden box, handed it to Dressell, and said, "Mu Gongzi, that's what I'm talking about, that map." ”
Draxel took the wooden box and glanced at the map inside, this map, also a few years old, does draw some terrain around the City Lord's Mansion, it is the map of the City Lord's Mansion Yes, some of the tunnels marked in it are also very hidden, and the authenticity is relatively high.
Drassel would not break his promise, and took out a martial art casually, and said: "This is the secret book of the top-grade martial art "Grabbing Hand", and there is also a good exercise, which records the detailed practice route, if you can learn it, your strength will definitely more than double, practice well." ”
After getting the martial arts exercises, Cheng Haotian thanked him again, and knelt down directly and said: "Mu Gongzi, I know that I know that my strength is low, and I am not worthy of being Gongzi's attendant, but can I give Gongzi a chance to become your subordinate in Xia, and I will always be loyal to Gongzi." ”
"I remember Brother Cheng said before that the reason why the mercenary group was established was that he didn't want to be constrained by the nobles, so why did he take the initiative to become my subordinate now."
"Childe, I'm not afraid of your jokes, the reason why I don't want to be a lackey of the nobles is that I can't get used to the style of the nobles, rather than being under the hands of such mediocre people, mediocre life, it's better to go on my own, but since I have seen the mind and strength of the son, I know what is the real masterpiece, if the son agrees, I, Cheng Haotian, and all the brothers, are willing to dedicate everything to the son, there is no second heart." Cheng Haotian swore with a firm face.
"Good! A little bold, however, this son is not accepted by everyone, first of all, your own strength, you have not been able to meet my requirements, but your character, barely fit the appetite of this son, the mind is also a material that can be created, this son is willing to give you a chance. ”
Cheng Haotian was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Gongzi Xie!" Xie Gongzi! ”
"Don't be happy too early, it's not easy for me to accept you, I'll give you a task now, as long as you and your team can complete it, my son will accept you and let you become my son's personal guard, when the time comes, you will get, unimaginable identity, status, and strength!"
"Please tell the child, no matter what the task, I will go to the soup and fire, and I will not give up."
Draxel pointed to the large cloth bag placed next to the room and said, "Go and open the cloth bag and take a look, he ...... That's your job. ”
Cheng Haotian opened the cloth bag curiously, only to see a young man unconscious in the cloth bag, and said in shock: "Yes...... It's Zhang Ba! ”
"You know? That's even better. ”
"I can't hide it, Zhang Ba acted arrogantly and domineeringly, and he had some grudges with Zaixia, and the trap of the Endless Mountain Range this time was also very likely to be done by Zhang Ba."
"Since that's the case, it's better, and next, listen to your mission. The task requirements are very simple, Zhang Ba is a person, this son will give it to you, and this son wants you to use Zhang Ba's life to disturb the Zhang family as much as possible, threaten, blackmail, and plant false ...... Any means can be, let the Zhang family be as chaotic as possible, as long as you can survive for a month in the pursuit of the Zhang family, and during this period, Zhang Ba can not die, if Zhang Ba dies, your mission will also fail, as long as you take Zhang Ba and live for a month, my son will accept you as a subordinate. “
Cheng Haotian was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Draxle would make himself an enemy of the Zhang family, the Zhang family is the emperor of Qingshan City, and his eyes are all over Qingshan City, if he catches Zhang Ba and threatens the Zhang family with Zhang Ba, he will definitely be hunted down by the Zhang family, in this case, surviving for a month, Cheng Haotian really has no confidence.
Drasel saw Cheng Haotian's hesitation, and said with a smile: "Of course, you can also choose not to accept it, and this son will not force you, even if you go to Zhang's house to tell the truth now, saying that Zhang Ba is in my hands, this son will not mind, and he will not kill you afterwards, nor will he move your brother in the slightest, all the choices, you can decide by yourself, but time is limited, you only have a stick of incense to consider, I will wait for your answer." Draxel was not in a hurry, and sat down to drink tea slowly with Luo Cheng.
Cheng Haotian is in his heart, thinking about all the gains and losses, he is indeed afraid, but he himself is not afraid of death, he is just afraid that his brothers will be affected by this, among those brothers, there are several of them, they are all close friends who grew up with him, if he is really an enemy of the Zhang family, those who are related to him, the Zhang family will definitely not let go, at this time Cheng Haotian really hesitated.
Time passed slowly, Cheng Haotian's eyes were still flickering, and he couldn't make up his mind.
Drassel took a sip of his tea and said, "Have you made a decision?" ”
In the end, Cheng Haotian lowered his head in shame and said: "I'm sorry, Mu Gongzi, I am incompetent, I am not afraid of death, I am not afraid of offending the Zhang family, but I can't ignore the group of brothers who are following, if I rashly become enemies with the Zhang family, my brothers may all die, I ...... Can't do it. ”
"Hey, I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't think you were a fool, not only did you not have the consciousness that a warrior should have, but you didn't even have a brain! You are indeed not qualified to be my subordinate, and we will be indefinite. After you go back, you can tell the Zhang family the news of Zhang Ba's arrest, and my son promises you that he will never embarrass you. With that, Draxel was about to pick up Zhang Ba and leave.
Cheng Haotian's face changed, and he hesitated: "Wait! Childe, why do you say that you are stupid, you just don't want to be an enemy with the behemoth of the Zhang family. ”
"Hahaha, did my son say that you and the Zhang family are enemies? I'm stupid, don't blame me, when did I say that I wanted you to be the enemy of the Zhang family? ”
"However, doesn't Childe want to let him go and threaten the Zhang family with Zhang Ba!"
"Idiot, the task of this son is just to let you disturb the Zhang family, you can choose the means freely, as long as you live for a month, when will you be the enemy of the Zhang family! Originally, you knew many secret ways of the Zhang family, knew many inside stories of the Zhang family, and it was not difficult to complete this task, but in the end, you gave up such a good opportunity because of fear, it was extremely stupid, you are indeed not qualified, become my subordinate, okay, it is useless to say more, bye! ”
With a wave of his hand, Draxle was ready to leave.
Cheng Haotian suddenly opened his mouth, and immediately knelt at Drasseur's feet, and said, "No! Mu Gongzi, I am willing to accept this task, and beg Gongzi to give me another chance. ”
"Are you sure! It is indeed not difficult to use Zhang Ba to disturb the Zhang family, but whether you can survive for a month is really hard to say, even if this son overestimates you, the probability of all of you alive will not exceed thirty percent, you are sure to take this task. ”
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
Cheng Haotian's eyes were resolute, and he nodded: "Yes, I took this task." ”
"Okay, that Zhang Ba, I'll stay here, from today on, 30 days later, if you are still alive, and the Zhang family also causes civil strife because of Zhang Ba, then you can become my subordinates." Drassel took out a note from his hand and continued: "It is a chance for you, during this period, if you encounter too difficult situations, you can come here to ask for help, remember, you only have one chance to ask for help, do not waste it easily. ”
"Gongzi Xie!" Cheng Haotian solemnly took the note.
After explaining, Draxle and Luo Cheng walked out of the private room.
Walking on the silent official road, with no one coming and going, Luo Cheng asked: "Young master, you let a group of martial arts realm and innate realm martial artists challenge the Zhang family, what is the difference between this and looking for death." Will they really survive 30 days? ”
"Brother Luo, everyone knows this kind of common sense, knowing that the strength is not enough, if you really dare to face the enemy, it is more than innocent and not worthy of sympathy, but my request is very simple, just ask him to use Zhang Ba to disturb the Zhang family, this is ...... It's not hard. ”
Drasel continued: "Brother Luo, every big family, the internal relationship is complicated, such as the Zhang family, the current Zhang family advocates Tianhe, he has 5 sons, not to mention daughters, these people theoretically have the right to inherit the position of the city lord, do you think, these people will look at other brothers and sisters and sit in the position of the young city lord?" ”
After a pause, Draxle continued: "As long as there is competition, there will be contradictions. Zhang Ba is arrogant, relying on his biological mother's favor for him, rampant, even within the Zhang family, there are many people who are dissatisfied, however, Zhang Ba's biological mother is a side of the Murong family, and her power in Qingshan City is not small, she is a popular candidate for the young city lord, in addition to Zhang Ba, there is also a Zhang Jie, who has always been favored by Zhang Tianhe, and is also a popular candidate for the young city lord, to be honest, as long as the means are smart, and the disappearance of Zhang Ba is linked to Zhang Jie, the Zhang family will definitely have civil strife, and there is no need to do more, Mrs. Zhang, will take this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Jie and remove obstacles for his son to become the young city lord. “
"Once the Zhang family is in turmoil, you only need to blow the wind on the side, or use Zhang Ba's life to threaten his biological mother, the civil strife in the Zhang family will only intensify, and at the last moment, it is impossible for the Zhang family to calm down if you use Zhang Ba's life as well as death, and add fire. Moreover, Cheng Haotian knew that the Zhang family had several secret passages, whether it was to dodge or plant, they all had an absolute geographical advantage, as long as they acted carefully, concealed a little, and completed the task, it was not difficult. “
Luo Cheng said with a smile: "It's still the young master's wisdom, if they follow the young master's ideas and implement it, it is indeed not difficult to complete the task." Did the young master intend to accept Cheng Haotian and others? ”
"That's not it, with Cheng Haotian's alertness and mind, it's not difficult to complete the first half of the task, but I don't know if they can survive for a month. Moreover, I think that the probability that they can survive for a month is less than 30%, and his team is not as peaceful as it seems, which is why I gave them a chance to ask for help, if Cheng Haotian can find the team's flaws as soon as possible, then they will have a chance to live, and if necessary, they can also participate in our plan. ”
Luo Cheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Young master, Cheng Haotian is indeed doing things safely, but several of his teammates, who are too mediocre and reckless, there are also many people, in the face of such a major task, the probability of problems is too great, once they expose their traces, they have no strength to survive in the hands of the Zhang family." ”
Drasel: "It depends on Cheng Haotian's methods, if he can find the problem in time and strengthen the control of his subordinates, the probability of them alive will definitely increase greatly, if he can't find the problem in advance, then ...... Killed! Not surprising either. ”
Luo Cheng also smiled: "I really hope that Cheng Haotian can survive, if he can join the Hidden Dragon Army, he should have something to do." ”
"Look at the providence of God, but also look at his own ability. Okay, let the brothers pay attention to Cheng Haotian's movements, and we will also carry out our own plan. In this Qingshan City, Cheng Haotian is not the only interesting person, and we will go and see it later......"
Drassel returned to the secret stronghold of the Hidden Dragon Army in Qingshan City, Wu Yong and Baili Ying were waiting in the hall, and when they saw Drasseur returning, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Get up, no need to be polite. Baili, tell me, what's going on over there in the Endless Mountains? What are the recent movements of the Zhang family? ”
Baili Ying: "Back to the young master, the news of the appearance of dragon beasts in the Endless Mountain Range has spread throughout Qingshan City, and there have been several waves of free mercenaries who have entered the Endless Mountain Range in groups, approaching in the direction of the spirit stone vein. ”
Draxel nodded and said, "This is just the first wave of path-finding, what is the movement of those large mercenary groups?" ”
"Those large mercenary groups have also begun to mobilize manpower and assemble in their respective strongholds, as far as we know, the number of people gathered by the Nine Snake Mercenary Group and the Flame Mercenary Group has exceeded a thousand."
"What is the movement of the Zhang family? Send the city guards to the Endless Mountains! ”
"On the first day of learning that the dragon beasts appeared in the Endless Mountain Range, the Zhang family had already sent two thousand city guards to the outer towns of the Endless Mountain Range, nominally to protect peace, but after seeing more mercenaries going to the direction of the spirit stone vein, the Zhang family successively mobilized 20,000 city guards to enter the Endless Mountain Range, at present, the Zhang family still has preparations to continue to mobilize the city guards, but it has not yet been implemented."
"Where did these city guards come from?"
"Back to the young master, most of these city guards are drawn from the spiritual grain plantation, because recently Qingshan City is not very peaceful, our people have assassinated several noble family owners, family changes often occur, Zhangjiacheng guards also have a lot of casualties, the Zhang family does not dare to arbitrarily transfer the city guards in Qingshan City, they are also afraid of a fire in the backyard, however, tomorrow night, the Zhang family will hold a concubine banquet, the Zhang family advocates Tianhe, will accept the 10th concubine, invite the whole city nobles to participate, it is estimated that they want to take this opportunity to stand up."
"Oh, that's a novelty, tomorrow night...... When the time comes, find a way to give the Zhang family a big gift. Also, can all the situation of Zhangjia's Lingliang Plantation be investigated? ”
"It has been investigated, the surrounding terrain, as well as the distribution of sentry posts, have been clarified. The Zhang family has been entrenched in Qingshan City for more than 100 years, and it has always been said that it is the same, and the Lingliang Garden is an important place for the Zhang family, there are many masters in charge, no one dares to do anything to the Lingliang Garden, even if someone wants to destroy the Lingliang, it is not easy, so the guards of the Lingliangyuan are not strict, which is also the reason why the Zhang family dispatched the guards of the Lingliangyuan to the Endless Mountains for the first time. ”
Drasel smiled: "This is good news, then we will destroy all the spiritual food of the Zhang family, and see if they are distressed." ”
Wu Yong: "Young Master, do you have a way to destroy the spiritual food?" ”
It is not easy to plant and cultivate spiritual food, and it is often necessary to consume a large number of spiritual stones or alien beast flesh and blood to improve the soil environment and help the plant grow, however, once the spiritual food plant grows up, it is not easy to destroy it easily, simple poison powder has no effect on the plant, the plant itself has a strong resistance to toxicity, even if the plant is uprooted, it also requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it cannot be completed overnight, if it is attacked with a large number of soldiers, it is not difficult for Drassell to destroy the spiritual food garden, but do that, His whereabouts were completely exposed, and this was not what Draxel wanted to see.
"Don't worry, I have my own way. After that, there will be the Zhang family ranch, and we will also go to patronize it, so that the Zhang family will continue to be in trouble, and Qingshan City will be even more chaotic. ”
Baili Ying hesitated for a moment and said: "Young Master Qiqi, when the brothers were investigating the whereabouts of the Zhang family, they inadvertently discovered that the other two forces were also paying attention to the movements of the Zhang family, and there were several times when the brothers were targeted by these two forces, and we also wasted some means to avoid their sight." ”
"Do you know, which forces are exactly?"
Baili Ying shook his head and said: "One of the forces has been determined, it is the Zhou family of Qingshan City, our plan, in the Zhou family, has encountered a little obstacle, and the young master should also know." There is another force that we have not yet investigated, and they are very deeply hidden. "The Zhou family in Qingshan City, the second in Qingshan City, has been pressed by the Zhang family, and wants to overthrow the Zhang family's mood, Drasel can understand, it is said that more than 100 years ago, the Zhou family was the overlord of Qingshan City, and the Zhang family slowly developed later, and then suppressed the Zhou family.
Draxel thought for a moment and said, "Another force, this king already has a guess, so you don't care." Whether they are friends or foes, traces will be revealed one day, but the current situation is still unclear, the Zhang family is still standing at the top of Qingshan City, if one day, they find that the Zhang family itself is difficult to protect, it will naturally show traces, and at that time, we will watch the play slowly. ”
"Okay, tell the brothers to be careful recently, all actions are temporarily stopped, just keep an eye on the movements of the various forces in Qingshan City at all times, and there is no need to intervene too much. As for the lurking brothers, just do their respective tasks, and also, the Qianlong Army of Nanshan City will transfer another 50,000 people, all of whom will pretend to be mercenaries, and detour into Qingshan City in batches along the surrounding of the Endless Mountain Range, and after entering the city, they will carry out their respective tasks according to the requirements of the mission. The faster the better, but also watch your whereabouts so that no one finds out. ”
Wu Yong and Baili Ying said: "Yes!" ”
Draxle looked at the time and said, "Look at the time, it's almost over, let's go to Zhou's house first to meet that interesting person." ”
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Castle Peak Castle Lord's Mansion, Secret Hall. Zhang Tianhe and all the backbones of the Zhang family sat in the conference hall to discuss.
Zhang Tianhe: "Great Elder, what is the situation in the Endless Mountain Range?" There are mercenaries again, are you close to the spirit stone vein? ”
"Family Master, there are too many mercenaries who have entered the Endless Mountain Range recently, and the news of the dragon beasts is too attractive to them, if this continues, the secret of the spirit stone vein will definitely be discovered by them."
"Humph! Those people in the shadow organization, are they all eating dry food, before, they let the few mercenaries who discovered the location of the spirit stone vein run away, and now, can't they solve a few idle mercenaries! Zhang Tianhe was very annoyed at this time, and in the recent period, nothing has been going well.
The discovery of the spirit stone vein was a great news, but the discovery of this place together, there was also the Flying Feather Mercenary Group, and I wanted my son to marry the eldest lady of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group, so that the Flying Feather Mercenary Group would submit to him, so that all problems could be solved, but the Flying Feather Mercenary Group didn't know what to do, and they didn't agree. He could only destroy the Flying Feather Mercenary Group and kill people, but at the last moment, he actually let many core figures of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group run away, and when he was chasing and killing, he was caught by the Shadow Organization, and the news of the spirit stone vein was leaked out.
In the end, the Zhang family can only cooperate with the Shadow Organization, which is responsible for hunting down the remaining core figures of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group, and the Zhang family is responsible for mining ore.
At first, the Shadow Organization did a good job, killing many core figures of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group one after another, and tightly sealing the news of the spirit stone vein, which made Zhang Tianhe feel a lot more at ease.
It didn't take long for the location of the spirit stone vein to be known by several mercenaries again, and this time, the killer of the shadow organization actually missed. This made Zhang Tianhe very angry.
Before Zhang Tianhe could react, the mercenary union immediately broke the news that there was a dragon beast in the Endless Mountain Range, this kind of news, Zhang Tianhe didn't care, after all, the spirit stone vein was his top priority, and then he learned that the location of the dragon beast was very close to the location of his own spirit stone vein, which made Zhang Tianhe angry again.
