Chapter 32: Dreams without Sword
A few days later, in the dense forest of dozens of miles outside Mochizuki City.
Towering trees are vying to grow higher, their dense branches covering almost the entire sky, and a few birds are happily shuttling through the forest.
The group of people under the tree was walking briskly in the forest, and it was the Eternal Night Mercenary Group led by Yue Mochen.
"Young master, after this dense forest, there is the Wanyuan Great Plain in front of you. A charming but strong female voice sounded, and the owner of the voice was Sheng Leixiang, a mercenary known as Rose Thorn.
"How big is this forest?"
"It's not big, but if it's smooth, you can get through guò in half a day. Sheng Leixiang replied.
"If you go well?" Yue Mochen was puzzled by this, because this was not a place where spirit beasts gathered, so there was no surprise.
"Rogues. ”
Sheng Leixiang explained: "Because of the rich relationship between the vast plains of Wanyuan, many merchants have mining rights here, and in the long run, there is a group of rogues who have been entrenched here for a long time, to coerce the merchants who come and go, and collect tolls. ”
"Mochizuki Castle doesn't care about this kind of thing?"
"What's the matter? Mochizuki City wishes that there are more such things, the better, only in this way will those wealthy merchants form a private army, and the formation of a private army must pay a specific tax, which is one of the biggest sources of income for Mochizuki City!"
When Yue Mochen heard this, his sword eyebrows were lightly locked, not because of Liukou's cunning, but because of Mochizuki City's behavior.
"Then how do ordinary mercenaries get through guò?"
"Mercenaries don't make it too difficult for them, just do whatever they want, they used to be mercenaries, and then for various reasons, they will fall into the grass. ”
"But it's different if it's the mercenaries who protect the caravan, they have to pay the toll according to their standards, and the mercenaries won't interfere, it's already an unwritten rule in the jungle. ”
"In that case, what's the point of the caravan inviting mercenaries?"
"So, so to speak, generally speaking, if the caravan only needs to pass through the dense forest, it will not ask mercenaries to protect it. ”
"The Mercenary Guild doesn't care?"
"Mercenary Guild? hehe, the Mercenary Guild says that the mercenary guild sounds good is our mercenary union, but in fact, it is only the guild of the high-level mercenary union. A small union like ours can take on a task without being made difficult, and still think that the union will help us out?"
What Sheng Leixiang said is all the truth, and not only the fact of Mochizuki City, the current situation of the entire Dongyue Continent is like this, every force or ruling class has such a problem, and the longer it develops, the more problems will be bred, and it will continue to decay itself.
What is needed now is a chaotic era, and then in this chaotic era, new forces will rise to replace the decaying one.
Yue Mochen stared at the front of the dense forest, and felt a lot of feelings in his heart: Let the Dongyue Continent become the beginning of our eternal night rise!
The group walked for nearly half a day, and they were about to walk out of this dense forest, but at this time, they met the rogue that Sheng Leixiang said.
More than a hundred people rushed out of the dense forest, instantly surrounding dozens of mercenary groups on Yue Mochen's side.
"Yo, isn't this Brother Yongzi, what's the matter, this posture, could it be that your Tempest Mercenary Group has really returned to the heavenly level?" A voice full of magnetism sounded, and a middle-aged man in simple clothes appeared from behind the rogue Kou.
When the rogue heard this, they gave way one after another.
"It's a dream without a sword! ”
After Sheng Leixiang saw the man, she immediately told Yue Mochen beside her.
Yue Mochen stared at it and found that this man was very handsome, although he was dressed very ordinarily, holding a simple long sword in his hand, at first glance, he was an ordinary warrior, but that ordinary clothes could not hide a unique temperament on his body, and this temperament gave Yue Mochen a plausible sense of familiarity.
When the man got closer and closer, Yue Mochen was shocked: This man named Meng Wujian turned out to be a saint-level martial artist? Wherever a saint-level martial artist was thrown into the Dongyue Continent, he could have the status of no less than a small royal family, and he was reduced to a rogue? Or did the other party have ulterior motives for being a rogue?
The man naturally didn't know what Yue Mochen was thinking at this time, he walked towards the people of the Eternal Night Mercenary Group as if he was walking at home.
With Yue Mochen's approval, Liu Dayong stepped forward and hugged his fist at Meng Wujian and said: "Brother Meng smiled, the Tempest Mercenary Regiment no longer exists, and now we are the Eternal Night Mercenary Group, this is our leader, Xia Ye." ”
Yue Mochen nodded, and also hugged his fist towards Meng Wujian.
Meng Wujian looked at Yue Mochen in a little surprise, and said, "Little brother in the summer night, you are really young and promising." ”
When he was a mercenary, he also tried to recruit the members of the Tempest Mercenary Regiment, but was refused.
You must know that although he was too seriously injured at the beginning, he had to hide his cultivation until now, but with his cultivation in the Qitian Realm on the surface, he was definitely the top among the mercenaries in Mochizuki City, but he still didn't enter Liu Dayong's eyes, he thought that Liu Dayong would really start over and walk back to the peak with his own wind, but when he saw it today, he was already under the command of a young man?
Yue Mochen smiled faintly and said, "Hehe, it's over, it's Brother Meng, it's really famous, I've heard it for a long time in the summer night." ”
"Fame, huh...... Notoriety. Meng Wujian also smiled.
"Stinky or not, it's a matter of opinion, the actions of the Mochizuki City Mercenary Guild are indeed chilling, Brother Meng, you just choose a better way for yourself. ”
Meng Wujian's eyes flashed with appreciation: "Hmm, I didn't expect you to be young, but you can see things clearly." ”
Yue Mochen knew that there was something to be said about him, so he simply smiled and said nothing.
Sure enough, as Yue Mochen expected, after Meng Wujian finished speaking, he glanced at Sheng Leixiang, Sha Feicheng and the others, and continued: "However, if it is only based on this, it is impossible to let so many famous mercenaries follow you, but it is a little difficult. It can be seen that the little brother of Summer Night is even better than I imagined. ”
After speaking, his gaze once again stayed on Yue Mochen's slightly immature little face, as if he was expecting Yue Mochen's reaction.
"Brother Meng praised it falsely, I am like-minded with Brother Liu, and it is really my honor to walk together. ”
Yue Mochen smiled at first, replied without arrogance or impatience, and then changed his tone again: "But Brother Meng, we have to go to the Wanyuan Plain to do something on this trip." I don't know ......."
Meng Wujian smiled heartily, but said in his mouth: "Naturally, it's not a problem, but the things that mean it have to be meaningful." ”
"It's natural, there are no rules, we know it. Yue Mochen smiled, and casually threw the cowhide bag at Meng Wujian.
Meng Wujian took the bag and threw it in his hand, and the heavy feeling came, and he couldn't help grinning, but then, he actually threw the bag back to Yue Mochen.
