Chapter 278: Hanging Bones for Public
At this time, Wan Shengjun didn't realize that the minions in the darkness were approaching him, as well as the black constellation he had been operating for a long time.
Now that he has regarded the masked Tianjiu as a brother, he feels that this person is very much in line with his appetite, if possible, even if he does not run a mercenary group, it seems that it is not impossible to work under him.
However, at this stage, his thoughts are still at the stage of getting closer to Tianjiu as much as possible, and Wan Shengjun hopes to take advantage of this victory to completely tie up with Tianjiu's line, so this matter is impossible to miss.
For example, in the matter of arresting Xie Ning just now, Wan Shengjun originally felt that it was enough to send one person, because he was surrounded by some strong men who had experienced a hundred battles, and he sent three of them in order to be safe, in his heart, this was a job that could not fail.
There is always a difference between fantasy and reality.
When the embarrassed mercenary appeared at the door, Wan Shengjun's heart suddenly pounded.
The look of disgrace and the expression of dejection, all these are bad signs, and there are obviously three people who have been sent out, but now only a third of them have returned.
Although the mercenary group is no different from a robber, it also has its own law, and there is no situation where three people fail and let one person take the blame, and those two people must have an accident.
Zhou De also saw the mercenary who was wandering at the door and did not dare to approach, and his sinister face suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot.
"Regiment commander, let the military division go and see the situation. ”
"I'll go, my lord, and I'll leave the table for a while. ”
Li Xiangchen also noticed everything like the others, and he first got up and confessed to Tianjiu.
"Haha, it's okay, by the way, what's going on?"
As a planner, Tian Jiu had long been confident about the development of things, but at this time, he deliberately pretended not to know anything and asked.
"Uh...... It may be a bit of a surprise that there are not enough people sent out, and he is here to ask for reinforcements. ”
Li Xiangchen looked at Tianjiu's face with apprehension, and when he found that Tianjiu didn't seem to doubt his words, and didn't care much about it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and went out to pull the mercenary into the corner.
"Military ...... Strategist...... Oh no...... They...... They were all ......"
The surviving mercenaries trembled under Li Xiangchen's stern gaze, and their upper and lower teeth collided back and forth one after another, although Li Xiangchen was civilian, his martial arts were mediocre, and he had no strength, but he was deeply trusted by the regiment commander and the deputy regiment commander, and he was the one who enforced the law in the team.
"Make it clear! It's not a three-year-old who learns to speak!"
Li Xiangchen had already guessed the ** score, and his face was even more gloomy.
"We ...... We were attacked...... That crippled woman is a master......"
Under intimidation, this mercenary squeezed out such a sentence with a blushing face, he didn't see the death of his companion with his own eyes, so it was natural to assume that it was all done by Xie Ning.
"Damn, pretending to be flawless, don't you remember the place?"
Li Xiangchen gritted his teeth hatefully, grabbed the mercenary's collar, put it on his face and shouted sharply.
"Remember...... I remember!"
The mercenary replied without thinking about it, in fact, he only knew the direction roughly, and was not familiar with the specific situation over there, but if he dared to say "no" now, the punishment would not be light.
"You wait here for me, I'm going to lead the way, let go of the matter of destroying the Rising Star first, I have to find out about this matter, and stand here honestly!"
Initiating Weilai, Li Xiangchen is not an easy person, so shocked that the mercenary nodded like pounding garlic, and stood honestly in the corner.
"Commander, it's time to gather the stars and go down the mountain. ”
After Li Xiangchen came in, he said directly to Wan Shengjun.
The eyes of the regiment commander Wan Shengjun and the deputy regiment commander Zhou De immediately flashed fiercely, this is the code in their team, which means that the people who go out to do business have encountered an accident and need to be dispatched.
The other mercenaries also heard this sentence and stood up together noisily.
"Don't be noisy!"
Wan Shengjun shouted, and the mercenaries were silent.
Tianjiu remained calm, looking at this group of mercenaries with eyes like tourists outside the Monkey Mountain in the zoo.
"Brother, we're going to do something, you wait...... No, I'll wait with you, and the rest will go out together!"
Wan Shengjun's eyes rolled, and he suddenly changed his tone, he originally wanted to say that he would lead the team personally, but he temporarily changed his mind.
"Got it! ”
Zhou De waved his hand to the silent mercenaries, and symbolically said goodbye to Tianjiu, and walked out of the hall with a gloomy face.
The mercenaries in the back are led by the deputy head of the regiment, and they can be regarded as having the bottom in their hearts, and they followed Zhou De and Li Xiangchen away with a calm face, although they seem to have the righteousness of comrades, but in fact, this kind of affection is based on the usual killing together, plundering and other bestiality, there is no real brotherly righteousness, and it is not so sad to have companions sacrificed even if they are killed.
"But what's wrong?"
After they left, Tianjiu asked Wan Shengjun who was staying.
"It's okay, we haven't experienced any major things as mercenaries, it's just a little twists and turns, brother, don't worry, if this thing is not done beautifully, I won't have the face to see people for the rest of my life. ”
Wan Shengjun took a sip of wine strong and calm, laughed, and Tianjiu also smiled, and didn't say much.
There is a reason why Wan Shengjun stayed here, first of all, he naturally didn't want Tianjiu to have distrustful thoughts about himself, if he came out of the nest, he would inevitably seem too panicked, this matter had been repeatedly mentioned by Li Xiangchen before.
If you stay in charge, you will naturally look confident.
And the second is Wan Shengjun's own thoughts, in case something really happens to the mercenary group, as long as he is alive, he can make a comeback, and the rest of the people are just dispensable consumables for him.
Of course, on the surface, Wan Shengjun is still a regimental commander with a sense of responsibility, so most of the mercenaries still believe in him very much and do not perceive the darkness in his heart.
At this time, the mercenary group that set out to find out the truth of the matter had already left the area on the first floor of the dragon and phoenix.
"How did people get into trouble?"
Zhou De's face was very bad, not because his brother was killed, but unfortunately he was not present at the time, and he felt unbalanced in his heart.
As the deputy head of the regiment, Zhou De is convinced that he can see through the other party's tricks.
"I ...... We are defeated by the division of ......"
"Is it true? Three fight one, and then be defeated by the division of troops? You tell me how to divide it! Fool! It is clear that we have been ambushed, and we will not die in order to die, not in the tactics we are best at...... It's all for me to remember, this time, no matter what, I can't be left alone!"
Zhou De fiercely reprimanded the mercenary who was eager to get into the crack in the ground, turned his head and ordered everyone sternly.
"Yes!"
The mercenaries agreed very neatly, but they didn't take it seriously, and in their opinion, the three men were purely self-inflicted, and they were not worth mentioning.
This is a world where the strong can get everything, and if you fail, it proves that you are actually weak, and it is not a pity to die.
After a slight detour, the surviving mercenary found the right position, and when he fled, it was so sudden that he didn't remember the most correct move.
Fortunately, the others didn't know, so they didn't have any doubts.
This is how the group arrived at the place where the incident occurred, which was still secluded, and there was no one now.
If it were the people of Yongguo, I am afraid that they would have already realized that something was wrong here, because this was a murder case, and it was often reported quickly, and the people from the inspection center would come immediately.
This time it was strangely quiet.
There were pedestrians a few hundred meters away, but it seemed that no one had reported the crime, and there was no shadow of the patrol station.
But all this is very normal in other countries, and the other three countries on the mainland do not have such a high efficiency as Yongguo, and it takes a long time for the murder case to be handled by officials.
"Keep up! No one is allowed to be left alone, follow me!"
Zhou De also instructed Li Xiangchen not to stay away from him, although Li Xiangchen felt that it was still a little unsafe, but now was not the time to bargain, and a total of eight people in the group touched into the deep alley.
The mercenary who escaped last time was caught between his companions, his face became worse and worse, and he seemed to have been frightened.
Although the other mercenaries all looked indifferent, they had already raised their spirits and watched for any slight disturbances in the vicinity.
There seemed to be nothing yet, at least the field of vision was empty, and there were no complete figures or corpses in sight.
"Wait......"
Zhou De suddenly stopped, his nose twitched vigorously, and he sniffed the smell around him vigorously.
"The smell of blood?"
Li Xiangchen frowned and asked, he also smelled a little bit of blood, but these mercenaries around him were full of blood every day, and he couldn't tell where the smell of blood came from.
"Hurry up!"
Determining the direction in which the smell of blood was coming from, Zhou De quickened his pace, and the group behind him followed in a mighty manner. The closer they got, the stronger the smell of blood becomes, but for these mercenaries, the smell of blood not only does not make them afraid, but it will raise their fighting spirit.
This time it was different.
Although the most cruel and murderous Zhou De saw the target in his eyes, he didn't want to take a step forward at all.
Li Xiangchen, who was not a martial artist in the first place, immediately bent down and vomited heavily, completely ignoring his identity and image.
The less timid mercenaries took a few steps back, the bolder ones stayed where they were, unable to speak, and some of them knelt on the ground weakly, their spirits on the verge of collapse.
On the wall next to the alley hung a skeleton in an orderly manner, and every trace of flesh and tendon on it had been clean, much cleaner than if it had been gnawed by a dog.
And the pieces of flesh, skin, and internal organs that have been stripped from the bones...... All neatly laid out on the side, divided into several small piles.
