Chapter 36: The Lux Mercenary Group
But he said that Xiao Hei and Pan were outstanding on the exchange, and asked the passers-by how to go to the mercenary union, and under the guidance of passers-by, they didn't go far forward, and they came to the mercenary union of Aiya City. I saw a three-story white building located in a bluestone walled courtyard, above the gate of the courtyard, a plaque, carved with a round shield and sword symbols, it seems that the mercenary union here is doing very good business, Xiao Hei saw a lot of people coming in and out.
Xiao Hei and Pan Jie can hear the noise inside at the gate, walk into the courtyard to see, only to see that there are tables and chairs and other things in the yard, in the corner of the yard, there is a bar, mercenaries sitting in the courtyard and bars, some talking fiercely, some are drinking wine, confused eyes keep looking at the people in and out, a strong smell of fruit wine in the courtyard. Seeing Xiao Hei and Pan Jie, there was an uproar, and a group of drinking mercenaries surrounded him.
"Little brother, do you want someone, how about inviting me, I have infinite power. A mercenary thumped his chest, his mouth spewing a strong smell of wine, and said.
"Please me, I eat more and do less, oh, I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I told the truth in a hurry, in fact, what I want to say is that I eat less and do more, little brother, I will regret it if you don't invite me." β
"Please, please, please, I'm cheap. A man who was only as tall as Xiao Hei's waist, grinning with a flat mouth, pulling the beard he dragged to the ground with one hand, pulling Xiao Hei's shirt with the other, looking up at Xiao Hei with a yellow spot and big teeth.
Xiao Hei and Pan Jie endured it so that they didn't squirt out of breakfast, and they wanted to break out of this encirclement, but it was so easy, this group of people was very artistic in their positions, and obviously they often did this.
"Just you, you look like a toad, and you're good! Go while you go, little brother, it's still cost-effective to invite me, I can be a bodyguard, housework, nursing children, multi-functional." A man shouted.
"Hey, I said brother, you have to be reliable in your words, you can also milk your child?" someone next to him said.
"Who said no, it's really uninformed, you have to pay attention to technology in doing things, you have to package it, do you understand, look. After the man finished speaking, he took out two flat round feeding bottles from the baggage, these two feeding bottles were connected together with cloth tape, and the man put the feeding bottles on his chest, and tied them around his back with a cloth belt, which was like that.
"Hahaha. "The yard burst into laughter.
A drunken mercenary came over and said, "Brother, let's touch my brother first, touch a handful of gold coins, it's much better than what you are a wet nurse." β
"Damn, go cool, I have dignity, okay, I don't sell my body. β
"Hahahaha. Another burst of laughter.
"You boys, while drinking cat urine, if you scare these two little brothers, see if I don't castrate a few of you, Wang Wu, your uncle, put away your thing, what does it look like, annoying Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu really let your grandmother and children taste the taste of being a girl!" A loud voice came from inside the building.
Hearing this voice, the mercenaries surrounding Xiao Heipanjie were like rabbits driven by wolves, and they slipped into the mercenary pile with a snort and ran away.
"Damn, the mercenaries' faces have made you bunnies lose all their faces, and no one will come to the door like this to see if you turtle grandchildren will starve to death. Hehe, don't be surprised, two little brothers, please come in, please come in. A fierce middle-aged man came out of it and greeted Xiao Hei and Pan Jie.
The man was about forty years old, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and short hair, standing there with a steady momentum, when he saw Xiao Hei walking in, he said, "What task do you two want to release?"
According to the agreement between the two people on the road, Xiao Hei is too young, and everything is up to Pan Jie, so seeing the man asking, Pan Jie stepped forward and said, "We are here to mercenary the mercenary group, dare to ask you?"
"Oh, hire a group, that's big business, my name is Zhang Feng, everyone's wrong love, lift me up, I'm the chairman of the union here. Those brothers in the yard before, don't blame them for the two little brothers, after all, the brothers also need to vent and play in their hearts, and seeing that the two little brothers are young, they make a joke, I apologize to the two little brothers on behalf of the brothers, I don't know what exactly a mercenary group is needed for?" The man apologized.
"It's not special, it's the need for a mercenary group to transport 200,000 loads of grain," Pan Jie said the specific thing at the moment.
After listening to Pan Jie, the man thought for a while and said: "Well, we really need a mercenary group, in this way, we are talking inside, there is just a mercenary group leader in my office, he has completed a task, come over today to complete the formalities, see if he is interested in taking over your business." Please!"
The two followed the man to an office, and saw a man sitting on a chair and tea, this man was tall and very stout, sitting there like a giant bear. Seeing the three of them coming in, he put down the teacup and said in a humming voice: "Chairman Zhang, my business is done, I will go back after saying goodbye to you." He said that he stood up and wanted to leave.
"Ah, Lao Li, wait a minute, these two little brothers have a business, I feel suitable, so I will bring them to talk to you, don't be in a hurry, I will invite you in the evening, and the two of us will have a drink." Two little brothers, this is the leader of the Lux Mercenary Group. β
"Oh, two little brothers, what kind of business?"
Xiao Hei was stunned when he heard the Lux Mercenary Group, and remembered the scene three years ago in his mind, and remembered Jack, the deputy head of the Lux Mercenary Group, if it weren't for him, Panzu Village would not have suffered such a catastrophe, but Xiao Hei immediately shook his head, a Pearl Empire Wharton City, a Song Zhao Empire Aiya City, separated by 108,000 miles, it should not be such a coincidence, it seems that it is the same name. Pan Jie glanced at Xiao Hei, and then told the specific matter to this Li Regiment Chief, after hearing it, Li Regiment Commander thought for a while, and said: "No problem, we have three hundred brothers, and it should not be difficult to transport 200,000 loads of grain, originally our mercenaries did not accept this kind of task of transporting things, and the brothers are used to using knives and guns, and I can't bear to let my brothers be porters, so in terms of commission, please also ask the little brother to give some preferential treatment." β
"Then Captain Li said a number, let's see, how about it?" Pan Jie asked.
"One person has one gold coin a day, and we can't take it without it. Head Li said.
"Okay, since Captain Li is so cheerful, I won't worry too much, just follow Captain Li's wishes, let's contract. Pan Jie and Head Li, witnessed by the chairman of the trade union, signed a contract and paid 300 gold coins as a deposit.
When returning to the exchange, Pan Jie asked Xiao **: "Xiao Hei, I saw you a little stunned just now, what's wrong?
"Well, I just heard the chairman of the trade union introduce Head Li, and he talked about the Lux mercenary group, second brother, you also know that our Panzu suffered. β
"Of course I know, it's because of the deputy head of the Wrestler Mercenary Regiment in Wharton City, although he didn't die well, but he killed our Panzu Village, but this is the Song Zhao Empire, it's not so coincidental, it may be the same name. Pan Jie said.
"Probably. Both of them thought so, and hurried to the exchange, no longer thinking about it.
But there are coincidental things in the world, sometimes it happens, the wrestler mercenary group in Aiya City is the wrestler mercenary group of Wharton City of the Pearl Empire, and the head of the Li regiment is the head of the wrestler mercenary group Li Ghost, three years ago, since Jack took over the task of Prince Anping of the Dark Flower Hanliu Empire alone, Li Ghost left Wharton City with a group of people from the Lux mercenary group, and came to the Tianmu Province of the Song Zhao Empire, and did not go back after completing the task, after staying in Tianmu Province for half a year, he got the news from Wharton's side, and his brother Jack was nowhere to be found, so that Li Ghost knew that Jack had an accident, and the Lux mercenary group returned to Wharton City, which was undoubtedly very riskyγ So Li Gui took the Lux mercenary group to make a living in the Song Zhao Empire. But because it is from outside, it is very bullied by some local mercenary groups, and the business is bleak and difficult. Many of the brothers in the regiment were in Wharton City, and the business in the regiment was not good, so many brothers left the mercenary group and went back to Wharton's hometown. The number of mercenary groups has been reduced from the initial thousand to the current three hundred, and they are basically old, weak, sick and disabled who can't run. Ghost Li was anxious at night, regretting his greed at the beginning, and failing to be firm to stop Jack's **, not only gave his brother's surname, but also tired the mercenary group to this step, but what is the use of regretting. Li Ghost is also very righteous, these old, weak, sick and disabled are all old brothers in their own regiment before, and they were injured and disabled for the sake of the regiment, and they can't leave them alone. In the end, he came to Aiya City after several rounds, fortunately, Zhang Feng of the Aiya Mercenary Union is also an extremely righteous person, everyone has a similar temper, and they are not bad to Li Gui, and the tasks suitable for the Lux mercenary group are always the first to think of Li Gui, so that the Lux mercenary group can barely survive and is not disbanded.
