Chapter 34: What is a mercenary?

Ling Chen also noticed Xiao Er's abnormality, but the force in his hand did not lighten, and he turned his head slightly to look at the direction of the stairs, only to see Liuhuo and Fang Meng going down the stairs quickly.

"Stream... Fire... Regiment... Long... Save... I," Xiao Er's face turned crimson, and he confided in the words for help with difficulty.

Seeing this, Liuhuo didn't take the stairs, turned over and jumped out of the guardrail, and jumped down from the second floor.

When he saw Ling Chen's cold gaze, his heart was shocked.

Knowing Ling Chen for so long, Ling Chen has always given him the feeling of a calm and hot-blooded teenager, and he also thinks that as a mercenary, the life of licking blood on the tip of the knife has nothing to make his heart palpitate, but now he has a little fear of Ling Chen.

"Plop!"

Liuhuo knew that Ling Chen must be full of anger now, and he couldn't persuade him at all, so he knelt directly on one knee under Ling Chen's cold gaze, clasped his hands into fists and said bitterly: "The deputy head of the regiment forgives the sin! It is all the incompetence of his subordinates! The subordinates will definitely give the deputy head an explanation for this matter!"

Most of the people present knew Liuhuo, the head of a fifth-level force, and the strength of a martial artist was enough to make many people admire, but at this moment he was kneeling in front of a young man.

Those diners who had previously taunted and excluded Ling Chen only felt a chill in the back of their heads, and their faces turned pale as paper!

Master Hong's face was pale, his lips trembled unconsciously, he also knew Flowing Fire, and he had also heard of the ninth-level forces attached to the Flowing Fire Mercenary Group.

Just now Flowing Fire called Ling Chen the deputy head of the regiment, there was only one possibility, Ling Chen was the deputy head of the ninth-level force mercenary group attached to the Flowing Fire!

As soon as Master Hong thought of this, his face suddenly fell into ashes, and the whole person collapsed on the chair, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Seeing that the flowing fire was like this, it was not easy for Ling Chen to lose his face in front of everyone, and he also took into account the previous matter.

If you kill people in front of everyone, you will inevitably have an intersection with Lu Jinyan again.

Ling Chen let go of the hand that grabbed Xiao Er's neck, and Xiao Er's whole person fell to the ground as if deflated, panting heavily.

"Since I've handed it over to you, you should show me what a mercenary is. Ling Chen said in a flat tone, and after speaking, he turned around and left the inn directly, Ling Chen made such a big noise, naturally it was impossible to continue to stay in this inn.

"The subordinates know what to do. Flowing Fire replied sincerely.

When Master Hong saw Ling Chen leaving, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he had escaped.

Just as Ling Chen walked to the door of the inn, he stopped and turned to look at Master Hong, and said with a smile: "Also treat this Master Hong for me." ”

Liuhuo looked at Master Hong, and directly clenched his fists and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

After Ling Chen finished speaking, he left the inn directly and walked towards the flow of people in the street.

Liuhuo looked at everyone and went upstairs, there was such a thing, they were also in the mood to eat, what Liuhuo had to do now was to complete the first task given to him by Ling Chen.

After the two left, the originally quiet inn exploded in an instant, and all kinds of discussions rang out.

"Who the hell is that boy?"

"Could it be the superior attached to the Driftfire Mercenary Regiment?"

"It's possible, it seems that Master Hong has caused a big deal. ”

"He's so handsome just now, I'm going to give him a baby!"

A discordant voice sounded, and all kinds of discussions suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at the nymphomaniac woman.

The woman was seen like this, and her face immediately turned red and covered her face embarrassedly, and hurriedly ran out of the inn.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this, only the person's face was still pale, he was Master Hong, Ling Chen's last words before leaving still echoed in his ears, he wanted to entertain himself well!

Master Hong was extremely frightened at the moment, he was in no mood to continue eating, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to the inquiries of the bewitching woman beside him, so he went out directly, and now he had to hurry up and hire guards.

The shopkeeper struggled to get up, leaning on the table and panting, recalling the previous scene, his heart was still palpitating, the young man's eyes with a breath of death, and his sharp methods made him shudder.

In the end, he still knelt on the ground and pleaded for his life, but he was sure that Ling Chen would not just give up, he had to inform the shopkeeper of the matter.

Soon after the turmoil passed, the first floor of the inn returned to its previous calm, and in the back hall of the inn, a corpse lay in an inconspicuous corner, and a strong man was loading the body into a sack.

In another alley, Master Hong was lying in the chaotic alley with a frightened face, his pupils were dilated, and he had obviously lost his life, and several people hurriedly stepped forward to also put Master Hong's body into a sack.

In an inn, Ling Chen had already changed into a new suit, and was running the Qi Induction Technique cross-legged.

"Induce gasification force, force turns Zhoutian, Zhoutian gathers strength, and converges in Dantian. “

Ling Chen closed his eyes and continued to recite the mantra silently, the Xuan Power in the meridians became more full as Zhou Tian operated, and the dantian seemed to open up, but there seemed to be a wall that tightly surrounded these Xuan forces in the middle.

Ling Chen knew that this was a precursor to an imminent breakthrough, and when he thought of the breakthrough he had just made before, he hurriedly stopped the operation of the Qi Induction Technique, closed his breath and stopped, and the Xuan Power that was still increasing suddenly stopped and slowly flowed back into the dantian.

"Knock Knock"

As soon as Ling Chen left his cultivation state, there was a knock on the door, and Ling Chen knew that someone was coming and said lightly, "Come in." “

Ling Chen's voice fell, and he saw Liuhuo walk into the room with a brocade box in his hand, close the door and kneel directly on one knee, raise the brocade box in his hand and say, "My subordinates have completed the task assigned by the deputy head of the regiment." “

Ling Chen took the brocade box of flowing fire, and as soon as he opened it, his brows furrowed, obviously a little uncomfortable, but this was indeed what he wanted, this brocade box contained the heads of the shopkeeper and Master Hong.

"It's a good job, but has anyone found out?" Ling Chen asked with some concern, after all, it was still easy to find out if two people died for no reason in broad daylight.

"The deputy head of the regiment can rest assured that no one will see it. Liuhuo replied affirmatively, this time it was him and Fang Meng who personally shot cleanly.

Liuhuo was worthy of a qualified subordinate, he knew that Ling Chen came to Luyu City for the first time, and after Ling Chen left, he sent a member of the team to follow Ling Chen, and asked the member to take Ling Chen to buy clothes, and at the same time chose this inn.

Ling Chen nodded with satisfaction, this is exactly the rumored mercenary style, acting ruthlessly and acting simply.

"I really didn't expect that there would be so many rights and wrongs in just one day. Ling Chen shook his head and sighed, this is really me not offending people, but people are coming to offend me.

Seeing that Ling Chen was like this, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only shake his head helplessly, he didn't expect that Ling Chen would cause so many rights and wrongs after only one day of entering the city.

"Let's eat first, and after eating, you can help me buy four bronze mirrors, as big as possible. Ling Chen pointed to the dishes prepared on the table and said, these dishes were called by Ling Chen not long ago, he knew that Flowing Fire would definitely be able to complete the task as quickly as possible.

Liuhuo looked at the slightly sumptuous dishes on the table, and sighed in his heart the recognition of Ling Chen's own strength, although he wanted to know the use of Ling Chen's purchase of the bronze mirror, but now he was not good at asking, besides, his previous busy stomach had already drummed.

At the dinner table, Ling Chen and Liuhuo were not as strict as before, Ling Chen was a hunter and had always been unrestrained, Liuhuo was a mercenary and wandered between the mountains everywhere, the two of them feasted and ate happily.

Soon the two of them swept away the dishes on the table, and Liuhuo took his leave to help Ling Chen buy a bronze mirror, Ling Chen was also unwilling to stay in this Lu Yu City, after all, there were many people, so he chose to go outside the city first and wait for Liuhuo.

In the afternoon, the scorching sun was still scorching, Ling Chen was waiting for the fire under an elm tree outside the city gate, during which there was an endless stream of people entering the city, these people had a lot of evil on their faces, and some of them were even dressed in uniform clothes, these were the mercenary groups that came to the mercenary conference for assessment.

However, Ling Chen found that many of these people were led by some old men in Lu Yu City, these people were different from the mercenaries he had seen before, they did not have a bloody aura on their bodies, but their strength was definitely the top among the youth.

Ling Chen knew that these people must be people related to the sect, but what made Ling Chen wonder was why the sect was also involved in the mercenary conference.

Just as Ling Chen wanted to think about it, Flowing Fire pulled a carriage to Ling Chen.

"Deputy Commander, are you okay with this bronze mirror?" asked Flowing Fire directly on the bronze mirror on the carriage behind him.

Ling Chen looked at the bronze mirrors on the carriage that were about three feet high and one foot wide, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'm going back to the Savage Forest now, you can go back to the city first." ”

"But..."Liuhuo was a little worried about Ling Chen, but when he thought of the ninth-level fierce beast that he had served Ling Chen before, the worry in his heart was swept away, and he nodded and replied, "Okay, then the subordinate will retire first." ”

When Ling Chen saw the flowing fire leaving, he pulled the carriage and walked towards the direction of the wild forest.

There was less than a month before the mercenary conference, and there was an endless stream of people heading to Lu Yu City on the road, and those mirrors on Ling Chen's car also attracted some onlookers, but they just left in a hurry after a whispered discussion.

Ling Chen pulled the carriage and walked for about three hours, at this time the sun had begun to glow slightly red, as if it was setting in the west, the place where Ling Chen was now had lost its traces of people, the trees were dense and luxuriant, and it was obvious that this was the edge of the wild forest.

Due to the dense forests in the wild forest, the carriage was no longer passable, after Ling Chen unloaded the bronze mirror, he directly drove the carriage in the direction of the city, although a horse was worth nearly a hundred taels of silver, but it was just a drizzle for Ling Chen now.

Ling Chen looked around, and climbed a big tree four or five feet high, and on the tree, Ling Chen saw a raised hill not far away.

Ling Chen jumped down directly from the tree, picked up two bronze mirrors and ran towards the direction of the hill, these two bronze mirrors were more than three or four hundred catties, but after Ling Chen carried the bronze mirror, he walked like a fly, this is the strength of the middle stage of the martial artist.

After moving twice in succession, Ling Chen finally moved all four bronze mirrors to the top of the hill, took a closer look at the slightly empty environment around him, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It would be perfect if there was a river. Ling Chen expected in his heart that the rivers in the mountains would mostly appear in the valley area, Ling Chen walked towards a valley not far away with the mentality of trying his luck, and sure enough, before he could get completely close to the valley, he heard the sound of flowing water pouring down and rushing down.

Ling Chen happily ran over, and sure enough, there was a small waterfall more than two zhang high from the position where he was standing!

"Everything is ready now, all you need is the east wind!" Ling Chen muttered softly, his eyes turned out to be a longing for the scorching sun of tomorrow. I1387
