The wedding hall was full of friends, crowds, and noise......

This is the iconic wedding scene of the War Spirit Continent, it has always been lively, even Duan Lie, a guy who doesn't like to be lively, sat for more than an hour under Rouya's refusal to leave, this hour was quite tired, after Taaff chatted with him for a while, he was very interested in not bothering him anymore, for fear that his pretentiousness would cause the opposite effect, but Tilis suddenly became Rouya's pistachio, and she stayed there all the time.

It's been a long time since he's seen Rouya so happy, so it doesn't matter if he makes Rouya happy for a while.

It's just that with the departure of Taaffe, the patriarchs of one family, the nobles of the empire, and the heads of all forces began to come one after another to toast, Duan Lie dealt with them one by one, making him dizzy, and there are really not many names that can really be remembered......

After a while, the city lord Bi Lie also came over, compared to other people's news networks, the position of the city lord of Cold Wind City can bring him the latest news, others may not know, but he knows very well that this person in front of him is not only a senior advisor of the appraiser alliance guild, he also heard that not long ago, the king's second prince Atlan still had the idea of worshipping him as a teacher.

For Bilie, who values his rights, this is the perfect opportunity.

Although Bi Lie, who was holding the wine glass, looked drunk, his mind was very bright, and he came over and said, "Master Duan Lie, we haven't seen each other for a long time. ”

Of course, Duan Lie would not forget the serious and helpless face when he faced Bo Gongtang, and nodded with a smile: "City Lord Bilie, it's been a good half a year." ”

"Not bad. Bi Lie smiled, drove away one after another nobles who tried to come to make friends with his eyes, and said: "Thanks to you for exposing the true face of Uncle Tuge's nephew, the current city lord's mansion is much cleaner. ”

This is also an excuse, in fact, Duan Lie knows how unhappy the city lord was when he brought Uncle Tuge's nephew to justice, but the matter has passed, and Bi Lie is also very tactful to resolve the misunderstanding, so he has to give him a face.

After chatting with Bi Lie for a while, an acquaintance came over, unlike others, this time Duan Lie stood up to greet him, because it was Master Moore of the Cold Wind Exchange.

"Master Moore, you're here. ”

Moore has lost a lot of weight recently, and there is a little sadness between his eyebrows, but when he saw Duan Lie, he suddenly dispersed, and said honestly: "I don't dare to call myself a master in front of you." ”

Duan Lie smiled slightly and invited Moore to sit down, and the nobles who were still about to come over to talk left with great interest when they saw that they were old friends reunited.

Tilis pulled Rouya to the other side to eat, and only Moore and Duan Lie were left on the sofa chair.

"Master Moore, how are you doing?"

Moore's eyes flickered slightly: "It's okay." ”

"Okay, Master Moore, isn't there something going on at the auction house?" he guessed something when he saw Moore's sad face.

Moore sighed, shook his head, and said, "There are no auction houses now, only the Coldwind Hiring House. ”

"What do you mean?" Duan Lie frowned.

Moore sighed again, and then began to tell the story from beginning to end.

It turned out that not long after Duan Lie left, Mrs. Ximei returned to the imperial capital of Aran City, she was ordered by the Sid family to rush back to deal with major matters, and when she arrived in the imperial capital, she learned that Mrs. Ximei's uncle, that is, Ximei's father's brother Sid, sold the century-old Sid auction house to the Marton family.

If a large part of the family business ran into the hands of others like this, of course Nozomi would not agree, so he went around the relationship, found those old people who held shares in the auction house, and wanted to overturn Sid's decision, but after working for a long time, Nozomi found out that the old man in the family had already been bought by the Marton family and Sid, although Ximei's father left her a lot of shares before he died, but it really did not play a decisive role, and finally Ximei and Sid fell out and divided the property, and in the end, Ximei only obtained a cold wind employment and trading center, and the result was that because of the problem of Sid auctioning most of the shares, the auction house was not affiliated with the Sid family, naturally, it is impossible to leave it to Nozomi.

A large part of the source of funds for the Cold Wind Employment and Trading Center is from the auction house, and the employment office is simply unable to balance the daily expenses, so the current Cold Wind Employment Center is essentially a nominal industry, and it is no wonder that Moore is worried.

And Nozomi doesn't seem to give up, after staying in Aran City for a few days, he rushed back non-stop to take over the industry that has become a hot potato, based on the decline of the Sid family, plus Nozomi quit the family, the business of the cold wind employment house is also not as good as day by day, and recently, several major mercenary groups have also married out of the employment office and become their own family, so that the business is even more difficult to maintain.

"Actually, Madame has always wanted to see you, but because of the cold wind, she didn't take time to rush back, and she didn't have time to attend today's wedding banquet, so she only sent me over to give some gifts. ”

Listening to the old man's lonely tone, Duan Lie could understand his mood very well, and after thinking about it, Duan Lie suddenly asked, "Master Moore, are you saying that the mercenary groups in Cold Wind City have all withdrawn from the mercenary house?"

Moore said: "Yes, in the past, several large mercenary groups in the city, such as the Mountain Rain Mercenary Group, the Iron Mad Mercenary Group, and the Magic Stone Mercenary Group, all had a cooperative relationship with the mercedurals, and we were responsible for the purchase and sale of the demonic beasts they hunted to earn intermediate commissions.

Duan Lie said suspiciously: "In other words, without these mercenary groups, Mrs. Ximei's plan will not be able to be implemented?"

Moore nodded: "Actually, Madame still wants to work the auction house, but without the source of materials, the auction house can't be opened at all, and there are fewer and fewer supporters on the imperial side." ”

Duan Lie was silent, for Ximei, he has always been grateful, now that Ximei is in trouble, how can he not help, thinking about it, suddenly a figure walked in front of him, it was Taaffe, the leader of the Iron Mad Mercenary Group.

Duan Lie had an idea and shouted, "Mr. Taffe, can you come over for a while?"

Taffe's role in this wedding banquet is really not very important, he has actually been walking around in front of Duan Lie, just looking for a chance to speak, and now when he heard Duan Lie call him, he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "Master Duan Lie, do you have any instructions?"

Duan Lie smiled and said, "Yes, but I heard that the Iron Mad Mercenary Group seems to have withdrawn from the Cold Wind Mercenary recently, is there such a thing?"

Taffe's heart sank, his eyes turned to Moore sitting next to him, and nodded casually: "This, there is such a thing." ”

"Why?" Duan Lie, who was smiling as usual, suddenly looked cold.

This frightened Taaffe, although he didn't know Duan Lie's methods, but his identity could not be offended, Taaffe could only say truthfully: "This...... It's hard to say, well, someone deliberately pulled them out of the employment office. ”

"What?" Duan Lie and Moore were shocked at the same time, they didn't expect to hear such terrifying news, could anyone have to deal with Ximei?

Tav Khan came down, and hurriedly ran over and made a boo gesture and said, "Be quiet, don't let people hear you." ”

Duan Lie's face turned cold, and he calmed the anger in his heart and asked, "Who asked you to do it?"

Since Taaffe had made up his mind to say it, he didn't intend to hide it, so he said, "It's the Empire's Black Hand Mercenary Regiment. ”

"Black Hand Mercenary Regiment?"
