Chapter 15: The Harvest of the Court Banquet
"Didn't ask?" said Kuming, the most basic form of courtesy.
"Yiyi!" replied the woman.
"What's the matter?"
"No, but can't we talk about it if there's nothing to do?"
"I want to watch a show, I don't have time to talk to you about something!" said Kong Ming with a blank face. Maybe he has been hurt too much, and since then, Kong Ming has always avoided talking about this kind of thing, and subconsciously there is always a sense of distance for women. Yi Yiyi couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Kong Ming like this, she was beautiful and beautiful and she had never been treated like this by a man, Kong Ming was the only one, at this time, suddenly her curiosity rose. You must know that a person's curiosity is the most important, some curiosity can make a person's life hard, some people's curiosity makes his future better, and a man's curiosity usually takes him to a different world, and a woman's curiosity is usually the beginning of a romantic drama, as for the outcome is another story. Just like the ending in all fairy tales, the prince and princess are together from now on, and as for the future, there will be no future, because this will make people more imaginable.
This song is a love song in a chaotic place, and the original meaning of the song is that a man leaves his woman to rejoice in it, and the woman's is there to cry sadly. Yi Yiyi whispered.
Kong Ming looked at her strangely, lest he expected the other party to still lean over after hearing his words.
"Why?" asked Ku Ming strangely.
"What, why?"
"Why are you telling me this tune? β
"I can tell you the origin and meaning of each piece if you need it. β
"I think you're misunderstanding, I just need to listen to the beauty of that tune, who cares about the story behind it? That's none of my business, I just want to hear these tunes, just listen to the tunes, nothing else. If you like to speak, being a cultured lady should respect the rights of others. Kong Ming said.
"You!" Yi Yiyi made Kong Ming's words half angry, "As a nobleman, do you want to have the cultivation of a nobleman? How can you talk to a lady like this?"
"Fuck it bullshit aristocrat, Lao Tzu is not that kind of thing!" Kong Ming didn't know where it came from, and he said this vulgar word at once.
"You!" Yi Yiyi was angry and half dead, as a cultivated young lady, where has she ever been angry like this, and occasionally heard some such words, she would train that person half to death, provided that that person was in charge of her. Yi Yiyi stood up, walked to the side, sat angrily and kept muttering something, but unfortunately Kong Ming is really a person with a high IQ and low emotional intelligence, he has never heard a word of this kind of thing, and there are a few young people in the distance, I saw Yi Yiyi sitting next to Kong Ming before, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and after seeing this situation, my mood was much better, thinking that this is just a kind of human heart, I can't see others better than myself.
At this time, Kong Ming was still quietly waiting for the arrival of the city lord, because an important part of coming here today was to negotiate with the city lord and the content of the cooperation between the two sides. Otherwise, the army of Kongming is stationed outside, and there must always be a reason. Perhaps it was Kong Ming's attitude that made the city lord feel that Kong Ming always had some initiative in making peace with each other, and he became passive, and soon after, the city lord got rid of the entanglement of others and sat next to Kong Ming, and Hai Jianxing stood behind him. Kong Ming looked back, this was an old man in his fifties, gorgeously dressed, his face was pale, and at a glance he knew that he was a person who did not know moderation in life, Kong Ming was very surprised, he thought that the city lord should be a strong man at the level of a great sword master, otherwise how could there be a housekeeper of a great sword master to serve him. It seems that this man is nothing more than a puppet.
"Hehe, the city lord is really a busy man!" Kong Ming sighed.
"Hehe, I can't help it, I can't help it, where is the commander so leisurely?"
"Thank you, Lord Castle, for giving us a place to repair when our mercenaries are broken, otherwise we might have starved to death if we hadn't let the Harveys be destroyed. Kong Ming said lightly.
"Where, with the ability of the air commander, I think it is only a small difficulty in front of me, where it is difficult to hold your strong army. β
"City Lord Guo praised it falsely, forget it, I'm a straight person, I'll just say it straight, anyway, it's not a secret, I think the city lord will provide enough money, food, equipment and mounts for my army within these three months, so that I guarantee that the Harvey army will not come this year, and even if it comes, there will not be too many people. How about it?" Kongming really didn't want to go on like this with the city lord.
"Hehe, we have thought about this twice, if it were other people, we would definitely not treat it like this, but the air commander is different, we fully believe in the air commander's words, in these three months, no matter what it is, we will meet the commander's requirements, and I will double the price to the brothers, how about it?"
"Hehe, with the support of the city lord, I think in the next few years, your Harvey army here will definitely not come a long time ago. β
"Happy working together!"
"Happy cooperation!I just don't know what conditions the city lord has?" "There is no free lunch in the world, and a person who can become a city lord will not be a person without brains, how can he give so many things to a person who has never heard of it, just by a few words that have been circulated."
"I have two small requests. I don't know if Your Excellency agrees?" said the city lord after a moment's thought.
"Hehe, I thought there were more than one request? Two don't think much, as long as it's within a reasonable range. Kong Ming said without thinking about it.
"Hehe, it's definitely within reason. I'd like to give one of my guards to the Air Commander and let the Commander give me some training. β
"How many?"
"Five thousand demon cavalry. The lowest is a fourth-level swordsman, which includes five sages. "The so-called demon cavalry is a mount that replaces the war horse with a kind of magical beast, this kind of cavalry can be called many kinds, generally called by the type of mount, the high-level ones are dragoons, earth dragoons, demon wolf cavalry, etc., and the low-level ones have some first-level demon beast magic horse cavalry, demon sheep cavalry, etc., but in any case, the maintenance cost of a demon cavalry must be high, which is not affordable by people like Kong Ming now.
"Hehe, the city lord is really joking, look at my body, and then look at yours, do you think I look like a person who can support a demon cavalry?" Kong Ming smiled bitterly, although the combat effectiveness of the demon cavalry is recognized and necessary for Kong Ming at the moment, but he really can't afford it!
"Hehe, this is not a problem, as long as you agree to the latter condition. β
"Oh, the lord isn't joking with me? β
"The Lord is there, as long as you promise to let her follow your team. She is responsible for all the rest of the money. You just have to fight the war as you want. It's as simple as that. The city lord pointed to Yi Yiyi, who had come to talk to Kong Ming just now.
"If that's the case, does the army listen to me or her?" Kong Ming asked suspiciously.
"Of course it is to listen to you, all the people, except for her and a few of her retinue, everyone else listens to you, you can just treat it as if someone hired you to fight, anyway, you are mercenaries, just for money, how about it?"
"It seems to be okay, well, that's it, but I hope she doesn't interfere with my command, and you have to make that clear to her. β
"Absolutely, now that she's here, you can discuss the details with her, I'm going there. Hehe, it's better to have a beautiful woman and a good wine, what kind of battle are you fighting!!" The city lord looked lewd and lewd, and slammed towards the women in the crowd who were chatting. The butler was still standing behind Kong Ming, and Yi Yiyi once again came to the seat next to Kong Ming.
"Commander, it looks like we're going to be here for a while. Yi Yiyi said with some pride. Kong Ming looked at her, thought for a while, and said: "Miss Yi, I don't know why you are like this, thinking of a way to join the mercenaries, and to participate in these senseless battles, I don't know the reason, and I don't want to know the reason, but I want to tell Miss Yi the truth, in the battle, I can't guarantee your safety, because even I can't guarantee it, and secondly, there are no women in the barracks, so I hope that Miss can change her men's clothes, at least don't let them recognize it, I don't want something unpleasant to happen." What do you think?"
"Just follow the commander's order, tomorrow our men will come, and in order for the commander to have a good class, we will provide the same magic horses for all of you. β
"Oh, can I ask what kind of monster it is?"
"Hehe, in fact, you already knew!"
"I already knew?"
"That's your name, Snow Wolf!"
Snow wolf?This name made Kong Ming a little surprised, you know, if it is about comfort, among all the magic cavalry, the unicorn is the most comfortable and liked by girls, and if it is about endurance, it belongs to the snow wolf, and in terms of impact, it is headed by the demon leopard. In terms of toughness, it should be the dragoons. The snow wolf has an advantage that makes all countries very optimistic, that is, it is easy to raise, reproduces quickly, and does not require too many conditions, so it is the first choice for the demon cavalry of various countries, but it is still a very expensive thing to raise a wolf cavalry.
"Snow wolf, that's a good thing!" When Kong Ming first saw this magic beast, the old magician once explained the habits and abilities of this magic beast to Kong Ming in detail, and what Kong Ming remembered the most was the snow wolf's endurance and discipline, which is something that ordinary armies do not have to show on a kind of magic beast, which is really incredible.
"May I venture to ask, what did you serve the empire?" said Kongming.
"Isn't it the rule of you mercenaries to never ask where these employers come from?" said Yiyi.
"There is no way, I can't be sold again, once I was bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years. Kong Ming said helplessly.
At this time, Yi Yiyi did not speak, but took out a brand from his pocket, Kong Ming looked carefully, this is a universal identity card of the Huayuan Empire, it is difficult for ordinary people to imitate, and when Kong Ming entered some magic, there was a fluctuation on the surface of the card, and the fluctuations showed some of Yi Yiyi's personal experience, Kong Ming took a brief look, it was indeed a person from the Huayuan Empire, and it seemed that she was still the daughter of a nobleman.
"Well, believe it. Yi Yiyi said unhappily. Anyone who let people see some privacy for no reason is uncomfortable, but obviously, her tone is completely ignored by the emptiness.
"There is nothing to doubt at the moment, but it will be difficult to say in the future, anyway, our cooperation is a long-term process, not a day or two, the facts will prove a qiΔ, oh what happened there?" Kong Ming looked into the distance in surprise, there seemed to be a fight there, you must know that fighting on this occasion, except for the permission of the master, it is very rude, and the person who invites in will generally give the master some face. But now there's obviously something out of control there.
"Let's take a look?" Although Kong Ming used a soliciting tone, the person walked over first, which made Yi Yiyi grit her teeth even more for this person who didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but she only followed along, but she didn't spare it: "Aren't you not interested in these? β
"I'm not very interested in those chats, but I'd love to watch more fights. Kong Ming explained.
"Why?" was something that made Yiyi a little incredulous.
"Because when I was still fighting in those arenas, I really wanted to stand down and watch it, so watching people fight was one of my hobbies. Kong Ming had some nostalgia for the days when he was in the imperial capital of Huayuan, fighting to make money and drinking. Life is quite comfortable, I originally wanted to live my life like this, who wants to think that my brain doesn't know which tendon to pull, I have to help the two hundred and five, so I am now trapped in it, and I can't extricate myself.
"Disgusting fun!"
"Haha. β
Kong Ming smiled and arrived at the scene, only to see two people fighting in the field, and the people around were pointing and pointing, judging from their appearance, it was obvious that those people knew each other, and they were also extremely familiar with the grievances of the two people in the field. Kong Ming looked over, both of them were powerhouses at the level of great swordsmen, and behind them obviously represented different nobles, so the two of them could only continue to fight in the field to win the laughter of the people on the sidelines. Kong Ming, who thought it was a fight, looked very bored when he looked at it. Yi Yiyi obviously noticed this, and asked strangely:
"You were still in high spirits just now, why are you tasteless all of a sudden?"
"Hehe, these people are watching the battle of the two great swordsmen from the side, thinking that they are opponents, so they look very tasteful, but if I say that these two people are friends, do you believe it?"
"How could it be?" Yi Yiyi knew from the mouth of the person next to him that these two people often fought on such occasions, and Cheng DΓΉ was quite hot, which also made the others too addicted.
"Hmph, it's just a two-person exhibition match, if you don't believe it, you can investigate it privately, it will definitely surprise you. Kong Ming whispered.
"Alright, beauty, this is the end of tonight, thank you to the city lord for me, and I'll come back another day. After saying that, Kong Ming walked out, and Hou Yu and Lu Hai also followed out after seeing Kong Ming leave. Looking at Kong Ming's departure, Yi Yiyi suddenly had some doubts about her beauty, you must know that since the age of fourteen, no matter where she is, there are always a lot of men around her, but the man in front of her has never given her a good face all night, could it be that she offended him somewhere?
