Chapter 8: The Zhao Family
"What!" Ye Gufeng was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect Sister Jiang to actually have a battle armor core, and after being stunned for a while, he asked Wu Yunfei: "Are these things strong, and what is the price?"
"Hehe!" Seeing that Ye Gufeng was frightened, Wu Yunfei chuckled twice and replied: " The armor core is divided into three categories, the most precious is the battle armor core, how much this thing is an important evidence to evaluate the combat power of a dynasty, like our Northern Underworld Dynasty This medium-sized dynasty has almost a hundred battle armor cores; 。 ”
"Hey, what a terrifying price!" Ye Gufeng couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, there were only a hundred or so battle armor cores in such a big place as the Northern Netherworld Dynasty, and the worst battle armor core was thousands of gold coins, which for Ye Gufeng, at best, could only be replenished in his brain.
The time when the job agency opened was getting closer and closer, and there were more and more mercenaries in the tea pavilion, but the rain still showed no signs of stopping.
"Yunfei, it's almost time, aren't we going?" Seeing that the mercenaries in the tea pavilion were all going to squat in front of the work agency one after another, Ye Gufeng's heart also began to get anxious, although the door of the introduction center was quite big, it couldn't accommodate these more than ten mercenaries, if the two of them went late, I am afraid that there would be no squatting pit!
Holding his arms, Wu Yunfei sat leisurely on the railing, leaning his back against the pavilion pillar, his eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't look in a hurry at all, for Ye Gufeng's urging, Wu Yunfei just said lazily: "It's okay, just let these mercenaries go in first, we are mercenaries of the mercenary group, Sister Jiang has already told the people in the agency before, if there is a large job, we will be recommended to the owner first, so this time we just came to see if there are any of these jobs." ”
"Oh!" After Ye Gufeng heard this, he suddenly became enlightened, but there was still something unclear: "Then what are we doing so early?"
"Morning exercise!"
"Morning exercise?" Ye Gufeng was confused when he heard it, as if the two of them had just made no other moves except talking, chatting and eating steamed buns.
Seeing that the door of the job agency was opened, Wu Yunfei finally jumped down from the railing, slapped his palms towards Ye Gufeng, and explained: "Morning exercise includes not only physical, but also mental, what you learned early this morning is more useful than running 10 laps in Qingyu Town!"
After speaking, Wu Yunfei opened the oil-paper umbrella and walked unhurriedly to the noisy work agency.
"Ideologically, there seems to be a little bit of truth!" After thinking about it, Ye Gufeng wiped the bottom of his nose, and then hurriedly caught up with Wuyunfei.
Walking into the noisy job agency, looking at the mercenaries who were crowded together in front of the task wall, Ye Gufeng sighed helplessly, and then followed the dark clouds to the mercenary work desk.
"Hey, sir, I'm from the Dongli Mercenary Group, and I don't know if there is any good work I can introduce to us today. ”
"Mercenary group?oh, there seems to be one!" The young man inside heard that Wu Yunfei was a mercenary of the mercenary group, so he immediately took out a blank piece of paper on the desk and handed it over: "This is an escort mission, if you can take it, then I will entrust it to you!"
"Escort mission?" Ye Gufeng heard that this job was an escort mission, and he immediately became motivated, after all, this kind of escort task is usually more popular, if you defeat the attacking monster or robber on the way to escort, you can also get a lot of reward money from the owner, which is the first choice for mercenaries when working.
Escort missions
Location: Qingyu Town to Sheep's Head City
Duration: 5 days, April 18 to April 23
Escort target: The fourth lady of the Qin family and 6 slaves in Sheep's Head City
Number of mercenaries recruited: 10-15 (mercenary group preferred)
Salary: 50 silver coins for 1 person
"Well, there are still two days before the departure time, and it is only 2 days away from Sheepshead City, even if it rains and the road is difficult to walk, it will take 4 days to take on this task!" Looking down at the list, Wu Yunfei calculated a little, and said to the young man inside: "We took this list from the mercenary group, but there are only 9 people in our mercenary group, and the rest of the people will be filled by your work agency!"
"That's no problem, Sunny Town is just a small place, and I don't think that a big mercenary group will patronize it. After the young man tinkered with the desk for a while, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Wu Yunfei again: "You must go to this place to find the owner before it gets dark tomorrow." ”
"Okay!" Putting away the list, Wu Yunfei turned around and snapped his fingers to congratulate Ye Gufeng, then looked at the task wall again, and after finding that there was no good work, he left the job agency with Ye Gufeng.
As soon as he stepped out of the door of the work agency, Ye Gufeng heard flowers explode inside, presumably the escort mission came out.
With a long sigh of relief, Ye Gufeng couldn't help but wave his fist when he thought of the salary of the escort mission, and looked very excited: "Huh, being a mercenary is really very profitable, you can earn 50 silver coins just by walking for five days, it's really pie in the sky!"
"Haha, of course, otherwise, the escort mission will not be so popular!" After receiving this task, Wu Yunfei was also very happy, and planned to tell Sister Jiang the news as soon as possible: "Go, these tasks must be hurried, otherwise the owner will easily change his mind!"
......
"What, the escort mission to Sheephead City, hehe, I heard that the mutton in Sheephead City is particularly delicious, and you must try it after you finish it!" "When Lao Hei heard that he was going to Sheephead City, he immediately stood up from the bench, and then sorted out his equipment, apparently planning to set off to meet the owner immediately.
Akabane didn't set off in a hurry, just looked up and thought about it, and then took out a map from his bag and introduced it to everyone: "Recently, the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain have been particularly rampant, but it has been raining these days, in order to reach Sheep's Head City in time, it is impossible for us to take a long detour, it seems that this work is a bit dangerous!"
"What are you afraid of, with the strength of our Dongli mercenary group, there is no need to pay attention to such a bandit in a small place. Lao Hei patted his chest, looking very rough and heroic.
"That is, if it hadn't rained in the past few days, we would have gone to Qingfeng Mountain to destroy that group of robbers!" The rest of the mercenaries didn't pay much attention to Qingfeng Mountain, because Sister Jiang took over the work of exterminating the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain before, but unfortunately she was messed up by this rain.
"It should be fine!" Seeing everyone's confident appearance, Ye Gufeng's heart gradually settled down.
Sister Jiang looked at the map in Chi Hane's hand, thought seriously for a while, and then made an arrangement: "If you can, don't fight as much as possible, I'll go and discuss with the owner first to see if I can buy some more time." ”
"......" Looking at this female mercenary, Ye Gufeng couldn't help but wonder, he heard Wu Yunfei say that Sister Jiang had the core of battle armor, which showed that her strength was very strong, but for the sake of a group of bandits from Qingfeng Mountain, she was so careful, and she didn't make a decision after thinking about it for so long.
"Yunfei Gufeng, you two are ready to go to Zhao's house with me. ”
"Hmm!" For Sister Jiang's order, of course Wu Yunfei and Ye Gufeng couldn't refuse. As for the Zhao family, Ye Gufeng also knew it, because the owner of the family currently lived in the Zhao family in Qingyu Town.
The spring rain outside, although it is not big, but it is endless, and it is several days at a time.
Following Sister Jiang with an oil-paper umbrella, Ye Gufeng soon came to the gate of the Zhao family, and saw the solemn gate and the huge plaque with the words Zhao family written on it, plus the two stone statues of Rui beasts on both sides of the gate, all of which opened Ye Gufeng's eyes and exclaimed: "It's good to be rich, even the place where you live is so domineering." ”
