"If you don't come out again, I don't mind letting you lose two strangers in nine kilometers!"

Huo Ling shouted at the second-story restaurant opposite.

This sentence made the faces of the people around them look shocked, and they all looked in the direction that Huo Ling was looking at, and they didn't feel anything unusual in it.

"Hehehe. ”

With a burst of laughter, a figure slowly walked out of the tavern, this person was middle-aged, slightly fat, wearing a gray robe, a bit like the official uniform of the Glorious Empire, although the body was a little simple, but its strength was far greater than everyone around here, if Huo Ling was not mistaken, he should be a nine-kilometer Taishou or a general.

The smile was amiable, but Huo Ling always felt that this person had an indescribable sense of gloom, if it weren't for the powerful sense of his own origin power, he might not have the slightest feeling like these people around him, but why was he here? To put it bluntly, why did he target himself?

Doubts began to linger in Huo Ling's mind after he discovered his existence, since he couldn't guess it, he would talk to him face to face, so Huo Ling defeated Jie You and Zhao Yan at a very fast speed, and said the sentence just now in front of everyone.

"Dad!?" Seeing the figure in the tavern gradually appearing, Dai Lingling beside him almost subconsciously shouted.

"Matthew!?"

"It's actually too guarded!"

"Isn't he fighting the barbarians on the front lines?"

"Idiot, how long have you been there, he has already transferred the general Feng Ning over, and now he is back to the city to rest and prepare for a big battle with the barbarians!"

"I see......"

After feeling the discussion of the people around him, Huo Ling really didn't guess wrong, this person was Taishou Ma Dong of nine kilometers.

"It's really a hero out of a young man, Xiaoyou's strength is not only impressive, but even this perception ability makes Ben Taishou ashamed. Ignoring the criticism of the people around him, he said to himself.

"Matthew has kept the prize. Huo Ling stared at Ma Dong with both eyes, trying to see something from it, but found that his eyes were as calm as a lake without a trace of fluctuation.

Hey, it's an old fox......

"Now is the time for the nine kilometers to employ people, and I also ask Huo Ling Xiaoyou to show mercy to my face. Ma Dong was actually very surprised in his heart, he couldn't see a trace of cattiness from the kid in front of him, he didn't use any strange power just now, but he was able to know his existence, which was really terrifying.

"Since Ma Taishou has spoken, it is impossible for the kid not to know how to lift......" The hand that was tightly holding the necks of the two slowly loosened, and the white light on the body suddenly disappeared.

After Jie You and Zhao Yan felt that their breathing was smooth, they quickly jumped back more than a dozen steps, panting heavily.

Obviously, Huo Ling's strength just showed scared them, and they could feel that it would be easy for Huo Ling to kill them, so it was better to keep a safe distance while this guy was not stable.

"Thank you. The two turned to Ma Dong and hugged their fists.

"You better thank him, after all, he didn't want to kill you in the first place......" Ma Dong pointed at Huo Ling's words were a little meaningful, Huo Ling guessed that this guy must know what his purpose was to lure him out, but he still didn't say it clearly, and sure enough, he had to be careful everywhere when dealing with this kind of old treacherous and cunning person.

After listening to Taishou's words, although he was a little reluctant to save face, he still hugged his fist at Huo Ling and said, "Thank you." ”

Huo Ling nodded, but did not answer, his only eyes and doubts now were still on this Taishou, so he didn't care about other things.

"Alright, let's all disperse. Ma Dong shouted to the people around him, and then said to Huo Ling and Dai Lingling, "You two come with me." ”

Even if the people around them have emotions, but no one dares to jump out at this moment, they can't know more about their own strength, Lian Jieyou and Zhao Yan were both defeated in an instant, they ...... Forget it, I can only beg Taishou to look down on this kid.

After turning a few streets, a city tower that can almost be compared with the area of Guangwu Academy appeared in sight, above the city tower, a flag swayed in the wind, and three big characters for nine kilometers were drawn on it, faintly revealing a bit of depression, after all, this is in the wasteland, even if the hard-blooded man will inevitably reveal a bit of depression.

Outside the city tower, several sturdy men, standing straight with weapons in their hands, sharp eyes, scanning the passers-by outside the door back and forth, judging from the faint smell of blood on their bodies, they are the real iron-blooded men who crawl from the edge of the knife, and can be called real mercenaries, which also makes Huo Ling's heart burn a wave of blood, and he is extremely looking forward to the real battlefield.

"In the northwest frontier, there were originally three city defenses, but with the invasion of the barbarians and the influence of the environment, now there are only nine kilometers left of us, and only our mercenaries of nine kilometers can resist and resist the attack of the barbarians. Walking towards the city tower, Dai Lingling smiled at Huo Ling on the side, with a slight pride in his smile.

Nodding with a smile, Huo Ling was a little amazed in his heart, Teacher Shi said that the only people sent by the empire at that time were Ma Dong Taishou and General Feng Ning, who were in front, and an army of fifty people, and there were only ten aliens, in just a few years, they were able to establish a strong strength in this unfamiliar place, which really made him have to admire, of course, although this is inseparable from the resource support of the empire behind them, but the most important thing is the results of their own efforts.

Thinking of this, Huo Ling was a little lax about Ma Dong Taishou in front of him, after all, he was an imperial general, so he should ...... Doesn't it feel wrong......

"It's too guarded, county lord, are you okay? I just heard from the people who came back that you were attacked by the barbarians?" Walking into the city tower, a big man at the door stepped forward and asked with a smile at Dai Lingling.

"It's fine. Waving his hand casually, Dai Lingling replied with a smile.

The big man nodded with a smile, his eyes swept over Huo Ling on the side, and finally stopped on his face, stretched out his hand and smiled: "This should be the little brother in the mouth of Zeng Yi's guy, I heard that you killed the three barbarians of the three-stage alien with your own strength, happy, let's learn another day!"

Huo Ling smiled slightly, this big man was honest and simple, nodded kindly at him, held the big man's hand and said, "Huo Ling." ”

"Haha, just call me Dadong!"

Walked into the city tower, followed behind the Taishou, climbed a few flights of stairs, it was a courtyard, looked up and saw the words 'Taishou Mansion' hanging on the door frame, Huo Ling was a little surprised, he had never heard of the Taishou Mansion built in the city tower.

Along the way, they met a lot of mercenaries, and when they saw Huo Ling, a touch of surprise gradually appeared on their faces, and then they began to whisper, but what they knew was that the person who could walk with Taishou must not be a good stubble, so they all showed a "smile" at Huo Ling.

Walking into the Taishou Mansion, a very spacious room, with a main seat in the middle, and two seats on the left and right, it should be a meeting hall for discussing places with mercenaries.

Ma Taishou sat down on the main seat that belonged to him very naturally, waved his hand to signal Huo Ling to sit down, and several maids helped them bring a cup of tea with great eyes.

After taking a sip of tea, he looked at Dai Lingling, his eyes showed a trace of love and guilt, and said softly: "Lingling, this time I was derelict for my father, and I almost let you fall into the hands of the barbarians......

"Dad, I don't blame you, but they are too cunning, and besides, I'm not good now. Dai Lingling stepped forward and held Ma Taishou's arm and said obediently.

Ma Taishou nodded, and then moved his gaze to Huo Ling, and the moment of the emotional change made Huo Ling see a trace of anger, like ...... Something that spoiled him......

Doesn't he want the county lord to be good!?

A terrible thought spilled through Huo Ling's mind.

"Your name is Huo Ling, thank you for saving my girl. Matthew Shou said as he stroked the county lord's hand.

"It's not enough to raise your hands. ”

After a moment of silence, Ma Taishou smiled and said, "I want to ask Huo Ling Xiaoyou, why did you call Ben Taishou out when you fought with those two mercenaries just now?"

Sure enough, the question came back to that.

Huo Ling did not hesitate and replied: "Nine kilometers are currently fighting with the barbarian tribe, although nine kilometers is not a territory under the jurisdiction of the empire, and there are no regulations here. Restrain everyone's rules, but the war still depends on the hearts of the people, I just called out the Taishou when I was about to kill them, just to borrow a step of the Taishou you, in this way, the two people just now must have kindness to the Taishou, and they will be more reliable in the future, and some of the surrounding spectators can naturally feel your benevolence and righteousness, and are willing to serve you, which will add some security to the future battle. ”

"Haha, yes, yes!" Ma Taishou stood up excitedly after hearing this, even Dai Lingling on the side was very surprised when she heard it, she couldn't have imagined that the young man in front of her who was less than fifteen years old could think so deeply, and it was for the sake of her father, and the love in her heart was a little more.

"It is worthy of being an excellent student from the Guangwu Academy, what I lack in nine kilometers is a talent like you! I didn't expect you to have such ideas at a young age, and you will definitely achieve something in the future!" Ma Taishou praised Huo Ling without hesitation.

"Dad, Huo Ling, he also came to us as a mercenary this time, you see......" Dai Lingling hurriedly introduced him to his father while he was happy, and Ma Taishou, as a father, couldn't see some thoughts in this girl's eyes.

"Oh, yes, that's great, it's a godsend for a hero like Huo Ling Xiaoyou to come to me for nine kilometers! You saved Lingling, after the conversation just now, Ben Taishou also likes and is optimistic about you, you don't have to go through those complicated steps to enter the mercenary, I will order the people to help you do it." ”

"Thank you Taishou, that...... What is my mission?" asked Huo Ling without saying much else.

After being silent for a while, Ma Taishou took a sip of tea and said: "We have made a war letter with the Barbarian Qiang tribe, the time is one month, and in a month we will fight at the Fengshakou nine kilometers away and fifty kilometers away, and I will reorganize my troops in nine kilometers to prepare for war within this month, as for your task, it is more important." After a pause, he continued: "Your mission during this period of time is mainly to help me find the inner ghost within nine kilometers. ”

"Inner ghost!?"
