Chapter 13: Former Subordinates

The next day, Qianyun tied up her long hair high, wore a white dress and left Yuwang's Mansion with Ying, she wanted to dress as a man, but found that her facial features and clothes could not help her achieve it, so she had to choose a white dress, so that it would not seem that she liked colorful clothes like other women, although white was easy to get dirty, but it could make people feel clean and neat.

The two came to Bajie again, this time going straight to the mercenary square, the so-called mercenary group is the person who takes on the adventure mission together, they will perform it in a team, and then bring some valuable animal skins or items back, only the dangerous mission mercenary group will take it, because the commission is high, and the general travel mission people will be prepared not to come back. Therefore, the mercenary group is basically some outlaws or men who are ready to fight alone.

"Master, why are we here?" Ying didn't understand the purpose of the master, but she knew that the master was going to help the prince recruit soldiers and horses, in fact, it was to recruit the secret son left by the emperor to the prince, but it was too long, and they needed time to find someone.

"You princes don't have any information, so they gave me a token and asked me how to recruit people. ”

Ying was silent, of course she knew that it would not be easy. "In fact, the prince is not familiar with these people, these people are the secret sons left by the first emperor to the prince, and the prince is not interested in the throne at first, and he has not recruited them. ”

"Oh? The first emperor left the prince's shadow, it seems that the first emperor also left a second hand!"

"Yes, the first emperor valued the prince very much, but the prince was highly poisonous at the time, and he was not interested in the throne, so he didn't plan to use it, and the token was forcibly handed over to the prince by the first emperor. ”

"You know a lot!" Chiyun quipped with a smile.

Ying's face was slightly red, and she explained: "My subordinates were also one of the prince's secret guards back then, and our secret guards were all close to protect the prince, but everyone didn't know about each other. ”

"Then now there are secret guards around the prince at all times?"

"Yes!"

Qianyun didn't expect that she couldn't feel the breath of the dark guard, she thought that with her own qin soul, her perception ability was very strong, and she didn't know if her strength was too weak, or his secret guard was too well hidden, maybe both.

"In this case, it seems that your strength is not weak, and your master's life and my life are first entrusted to you to protect. Qianyun said to her with a smile.

"Don't worry, master!"

"Let's go, don't underestimate these mercenaries, look at the posture of that group of mercenaries, they don't look like regular soldiers in the army. ”

Qianyun reminded Ying that there were several teams of mercenary groups here, some were lying on the ground casually, some were sitting crookedly, but there was a group of people standing straight, although the number was only about twenty people, but Qianyun knew that this was not like an ordinary mercenary.

After listening to the master's reminder, Ying found that they were indeed different from others, although they were dressed the same as everyone else, their momentum was completely different, such people were not regular soldiers but also experienced men.

But what made Ying admire even more was the master's observation, among the hundreds of people, she could actually notice the mercenary group of more than 20 people, if it wasn't for the purpose of looking for it, it should be difficult to find the difference between these people.

Walking all the way through the Mercenary Square, Qianyun was stopped by several teams of mercenaries. The people in this continent are really domineering, and they can force their employers to choose their own, but unfortunately she didn't come to find someone to do the task, she just came to find someone, so Ying solved them with her fists.

The first time Qianyun saw Ying's move, she was quick to hate, this should be the experience and aura accumulated over the years, and she could shock those people with a casual wave, and her internal strength was not bad.

They came to the mercenary group of more than two dozen people, and Qianyun stared straight at them, waiting for their leader to come out and speak.

Soon a man of nearly thirty years old walked out, he was about 1.9 meters tall, with a ponytail, and he looked quite heroic, and he asked in a deep voice: "What task do you want to post?"

Although Qianyun knew that they were trained soldiers, she didn't dare to guarantee that they were the people King Yu was looking for, so she still had to ask tentatively first, "What tasks can you take?"

"Our Iron Man Mercenary Group only accepts missions from the Demon Domain, and the reward for one mission is 10,000 taels of gold. ”

"Can you enter the Demon Domain?

"That's our business, Miss don't have to worry about that, you just don't care if we can complete the task. ”

"Indeed!" I don't know how to advance or retreat when dealing with people, it seems that he is a regular soldier, but this person doesn't seem to be able to make up his mind, "You are the team leader?"

The man frowned and asked in an unkind tone, "Does it matter?"

"Of course, it has a lot to do with whether my task can be completed or not, do you know that a team not only depends on how good his soldiers are, but also on whether the leader has the ability to lead the troops. ”

The man frowned and fell silent.

"Isn't it convenient to say?"

After a while, he asked, "How do you know that I'm not the team leader?"

"Guess. ”

The man was slightly embarrassed, but he didn't expect to be taken away with a few words.

"I need to meet your team leader, see you now, if I feel competent, I can place an order directly, and the commission will be doubled. ”

When the other mercenaries heard that the commission was going to be doubled, they hurriedly stepped forward and said to the man, "Brother Jing?"

Their commissions are not low, and now they will inevitably be tempted to hear that this employer is offering double commissions.

"I know, you guys are watching here, and I'll take them to see the big brother. Jing gritted his teeth, and didn't want to miss such an opportunity.

"Good. ”

Qianyun and Ying left with a man named Jing, and on the way Qianyun knew that his name was Qiao Jing, and he had only lived for more than two months as a mercenary to take on tasks, which could be said to be for a living.

But talking about this, Qianyun vaguely felt that they were not the soldiers that King Yu was looking for, and more than two months had something to do with the new emperor at most, but such a true iron man turned to be a mercenary for a living, and Qianyun became interested in what happened to them.

Qianyun followed Qiao Jing out of the Holy Capital City, climbed a mountain again, went around to the back of the mountain, and came to the outside of a cave.

Ying stopped Qianyun outside the cave and reminded, "Master, be careful!"

"It's okay, isn't it you, if he really wants to hurt people, he won't leave those people in the mercenary square. And she was vigilant all the way, and there weren't many people around.

"But, master!" Ying also wanted to remind Qianyun to be careful.

"It's okay, let's go!" Qianyun interrupted Ying's speech and walked straight into the cave.

"My eldest brother is not in good health now, don't talk about it for too long," Qiao Jing solemnly explained.

The cave was large enough to accommodate thirty or so people, and there were no extraneous ornaments in it, some simple straw was spread on the ground, and some clothes were thrown together.

Qianyun walked into the cave and saw another person medicating the injured person on the straw, the injured man's face was black and purple, and the lack of light in the cave made Qianyun unable to see his appearance clearly. But from Qiao Jing's anxious walking around, it can be guessed that the condition of the injured at this time is not very good.

"What's wrong with him?" Qianyun asked softly.

Qiao Jing knelt down abruptly in front of the person who had taken the medicine, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why is it so serious, he can still speak in the morning, please save my eldest brother, my eldest brother can't die." ”

Qianyun also became caught off guard all of a sudden, she never thought that his leader was a dying person.

"Lord... Host... "The man on the straw heard the sound of a thousand clouds and climbed over the straw with all his might.

"Big brother!" Qiao Jing saw his appearance and hurried over to help him.

Qianyun quickly approached the injured man, looking carefully at his facial features, it seemed that there was such a person in his memory, it should be the original owner's person!

"Lord... Child... You... Not... Death" intermittently finished a few words, and passed out.
