Chapter 10: A Kind Smile
Soon, a small plate of chicken thigh meat was served, and Xingyun looked disgusted, "It's too little, it's not enough for me to stuff my teeth." As he spoke, he took a chicken leg in his hand and swallowed it in one gulp, leaving only a chicken bone when he spit it out again.
Seeing this, Yi Yun looked at Xingchen, "Young Master, this little young master?"
Xingchen waved his hand, "Use our biggest plate and bring three plates." β
Yi Yun looked at Xingyun's small body, a little suspicious, but still beckoned his men to do it.
After a while, three large plates of chicken thighs were already on the table in the hall, and Nebula was satisfied.
And Yi Yun started his own team affairs briefing.
Now the Holy Wind Mercenary Group has developed perfectly:
The number of new apprentices has reached fifty, and Yi Yun often orders the veteran team members to take the best of them to participate in simple mercenary tasks;
The affiliated mercenary group Thundercloud Mercenary Group has also achieved full strength, and the average combat power of its members has increased;
Now the only obstacle to the development of the Holy Wind Mercenary Group is the mercenary group level. Since the mercenary group has the magic crystal cannon, the task of the fifth-level mercenary group is easy to take over, the task completion rate is very high, and it has a large number of points, but it is still impossible to advance to level six, because it is only qualified to complete a six-level mercenary group task according to the regulations. However, the employers who issued the tasks of the sixth-level mercenary group all set a condition, and the mercenary group that took the task must have a saint-level powerhouse. There are no saint-level powerhouses in the Holy Wind Mercenary Group, Yi Yun will not be easily hired, it is okay to hire a sixth-level mission at a time, but what about the sixth-level tasks in the future;
......
After listening to the briefing, Xingchen looked at Yi Yun, "Our mercenary group is developing relatively fast, so let's take a slow step, integrate it well, and develop some side businesses by the way." β
Yi Yun arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask the young master what he thinks?"
Xingchen smiled slightly, "What does it take for a mercenary to go on a mission?"
Yi Yun said directly: "My own strong strength, the weapons and armor that I have at hand, and the life-saving elixir." β
Xingchen nodded, "Yes, a mercenary needs these, let alone a huge mercenary group. I want to set up an elixir shop in the name of the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment, as well as a weapons shop. β
Yi Yun was worried: "Young Master, the weapon shop is in Shiye, it's simpler, but the pill shop is a little difficult." I have a pill shop in my Yi family, but the business is bleak. β
Xingchen directly took out three pills, "Just waiting for your words, I want to exchange these three pills for sixty percent of your Yijia Dan Medicine Workshop." β
After Yi Yun got the pill, he checked it directly, and the secret gold creation medicine, stunt tendon renewing cream, and Xiao Huandan, and said: "The gold sore medicine is a low-end drug, and the tendon renewal cream is sold in many pill medicine shops, Xiao Huandan?"
Xingchen smiled, took back the three Danfang, and took out three porcelain bottles and put them on the table, "This is the finished product, you can go back and show them to your father now." β
Yi Yun accepted the porcelain vase, and before leaving, he looked at Xingyun, who had eaten up two large plates of chicken legs and continued to eat, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, the young master's brothers, there are few ordinary people." β
After eating the last plate of chicken legs, Xingyun raised his head and looked at Xingchen, "Brother Chen, where is this? What are we doing here?"
Xingchen smiled: "Don't care what you do, I won't starve you." As he spoke, he walked out of the hall and looked at the orderly mercenary group station, his face was calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Two hours later, Yi Yun returned, and he brought his father, Yi Lianlin, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes with a kind face. When he came to the hall, he didn't immediately look at the stars on the main seat, but stared straight at Yi Liantian, the leader of the Thundercloud Mercenary Regiment, who was sitting in the fourth place on the right.
After a while, Yi Lianlin, under the guidance of Yi Yun, sat first on the left, and after sitting down, he bowed his hand to Shi Ye, "Brother Shiye, long time no see." But after Shi Ye returned the salute, Yi Lianlin stopped moving.
This posture made a group of people unhappy, among whom Yi Liantian directly scolded: "Lian Lin, a villain who is kind on the surface and treacherous on the inside, why don't you give a salute to the head of the regiment?"
At this time, Xingchen waved his hand, "Lian Tianxiu wants to talk nonsense, he is an elder, and he should be saluted first." As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Yi Lianlin, "Junior, Lu Xingchen has seen his senior. β
Yi Lianlin looked at Xingchen and nodded slightly, "I still know some etiquette." Seeing this, Yi Yun behind him seemed to have something to say, but was stopped by Xingchen with his eyes.
Xingchen sat down and said respectfully: "Senior, since you are here, you have plans to cooperate." Let's talk about the specifics of the partnership. β
Yi Lianlin smiled, "Your pill is very good, but if you want sixty percent of the shares, it's still far from it." β
Xingchen was still respectful, "Then how much are you going to give?"
Yi Lianlin stretched out two fingers, "Two percent, it can't be more, and I don't want these two percent shares to be in your personal hands." He smiled kindly.
Xingchen suddenly smiled, "I originally wanted to put the shares in the name of the Holy Wind Mercenary Group, but these two percent shares are too small for a fifth-level mercenary group with a subsidiary mercenary group. β
Yi Lianlin also laughed, "Young man, you are very smart, so let's do it! In addition to the twenty percent shares, I will give my eldest son another forty percent of the shares." Yi Yun was originally the deputy head of the Holy Wind Mercenary Group, and he could be regarded as the Holy Wind Mercenary Group's sixty percent shares. β
Yi Yun hurriedly said, "Father, absolutely not. β
He Kang of the Ranger Department stood up, "The Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment has only one surname, Lu. β
Yi Liantian, the leader of the Thundercloud Mercenary Regiment, also stood up, "Lian Lin, don't go too far. β
Yi Lianlin smiled: "Liantian, Yi Yun is your nephew, how can you help outsiders?"
For a while, except for Yi Lei, all the high-level officials stood up, and seeing this, Xingchen immediately scolded, "Sit down for me." He looked at Yi Lianlin again and bowed respectfully, "The juniors will only stick to the original price, since the negotiation is not appropriate, please go back! The juniors believe that there will always be a pill shop willing to accept my price." β
Yi Lianlin got up directly, still leaving with a kind smile on his face, without a trace of hesitation. In this regard, Xingchen ordered: "Yi Yun, you take a ranger team and send the seniors back." Yi Yun took the order and left.
After they left, Xingchen said loudly: "I didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the mercenary group, but now it seems that many outsiders already think that the Holy Wind mercenary group belongs to the Yi family, this is what I don't want to see, and the mercenary group should make some adjustments." As he spoke, he looked at He Kang, "The Ranger Department has always been excellent under your command. β
He Kang stood up and arched his hand: "The head of the regiment is too famous." β
Xingchen smiled: "You are so good, you are really not suitable to be the head of the Ranger Department." β
He Kang immediately became nervous, "Regiment leader, there is nothing wrong with your subordinates. But I wondered if I had just said the wrong thing.
Xingchen waved his hand, "I mean it's time for you to be promoted." But not now, your Ranger Division will be on standby from now on. β
He Kang immediately nodded excitedly.
Xingchen looked at Su Ziyan again and said, "The Confidential Department will only be responsible for me from today onwards, and a branch will be set up in the Thundercloud Mercenary Group. Liantian, there's no objection to this, right?"
Su Ziyan and Yi Liantian stood up and said successively: "The subordinates obey the order." "There is no objection from the subordinates. β
Finally, Xingchen looked at Shi Ye, "Senior Shi Ye, this is Dan Fang and 20,000 high-grade spirit stones. The establishment of the pill workshop and weapon shop was left to the logistics department. As he spoke, he handed out three Dan Fangs and a storage ring.
Shi Ye accepted the Dan Fang and the storage ring, and said with a smile: "Commander, please rest assured, the subordinates will immediately start contacting the old people of the Mo Wen Sect, and they will definitely set up the Pill Workshop and the Weapon Shop." β
After making these decisions, Xingchen rubbed his temples and ordered, "Go down and get busy! I'm going to go and relax, and when Yi Yun comes back, I ask him to come directly to me." β
With that, Xingchen got up and headed for the back of the hall. When he returned to the regiment leader's courtyard, he found that Xiaozhu and Blood Dance were talking to the two, and after seeing the appearance of the two clearly, Xingchen hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Xingchen has seen my mother and uncle." β
These two people are Elena and Bloodwine, Elena smiled at the courtesy of the stars, but the Blood Axe complained: "You both married my daughter, why do you still call me uncle?"
Xingchen immediately explained: "For a handsome elder like you, I call him uncle. β
Bloodwine was immediately satisfied, "Forget it, uncle will forgive you." As he spoke, he looked at Elena, "Did you hear me, my son-in-law said I was handsome." β
Elena ignored it and smiled at Xingchen, "Xingchen, what about me?"
Xingchen replied, "Mother is heroic, has a superb temperament, and her appearance and figure can be called a celestial. Hearing this, Elena looked at Bloodwine with a smug look on her face.
Seeing the two little adults, Blood Dance shook her head helplessly, got up and grabbed Xingchen, "Little fool, my parents are here to pick me up." β
Xingchen nodded, "I know. As he spoke, he looked at Elena Bloodwine, "Mother, uncle, I am the leader of this mercenary group, you must stay as a guest for a day, and I will treat you well." β
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Soon, under the arrangement of Xingchen, two tables of sumptuous lunches were placed in the small courtyard. Xingchen, Blood Dance, Xiaozhu, Elena, and Blood Wine have a table of five people, and Nebula who comes out of nowhere occupies a table alone.
While a few people were eating, Yi Yun came here, and at Xingchen's request, he sat down. As for the reason given to Elena, Yi Yun is Xiaozhu's fiancΓ©, and they are all family.
When Yi Yun came, he heard that Xingchen had adjusted the structure of the mercenary group in his absence. So he has some contradictions in his heart: on the one hand, he is the captain of Xingchen's guard and must be loyal to Xingchen, on the other hand, he is the deputy head of the regiment, and Xingchen actually adjusted the structure of the mercenary group and divided his power after breaking him up. After all, he is a human being, and he is also the eldest young master of a small family, so he naturally has some emotions.
But since he took his seat, he noticed that Xingchen's father-in-law and mother-in-law were saint-level masters, and only then did he remember the identity of Xingchen's wife, Blood Dance, the granddaughter of the Bat Dragon Family, one of the top families in the Blood Sea Country.
He remembered the experience after the creation of the mercenary group, the creation of the mercenary group was funded by Xingchen, some difficulties in the process were solved by Xingchen's friend Han Feng, many people were willing to hand over the task to the Holy Wind Mercenary Group, also because of the relationship between Xingchen's guardian Zhuge Yu, and then the magic crystal cannon. The entire development process of the mercenary group has the shadow of the stars, and he is just a manager.
Thinking about this, the contradiction in his heart was finally relieved. At this moment, a voice came into his ears, "Yi Yun, I hope you can understand what I have done." From now on, you will still be my deputy regimental commander and my captain of the guard. "It's the voice of the stars.
Yi Yun nodded, and said: "The subordinates understand, since the head of the regiment has made structural adjustments, the subordinates have some suggestions for the apprenticeship class......
Xingchen stopped the voice, "This matter, let's talk about it tomorrow." β
The small feast continued. Soon the next day came, and in the early morning, Xingchen stood outside the gate of the station, ready to bid farewell to the Blood Dance. At this time, Yi Lianlin, the head of the Yi family with a kind face, suddenly appeared and said to Xingchen: "Little Chief, regarding the matter of the Pill Workshop, I can make concessions again." β
Xingchen was bidding farewell to Blood Dance, and he didn't have the heart to discuss the matter of the Danyao Workshop at all, so he said casually: "I have handed over the matter of the Danyao Workshop to Shi Ye, and our cooperation will be terminated." β
When Yi Lianlin heard this, his face was still kind, but his tone was already a little angry, "Little Leader, my two sons are both in important positions in your mercenary group, do you want to think about it again?"
Seeing this, Blood Wine directly scolded, "Hypocritical Yanhuang people, are you threatening my son-in-law?" said as he released the momentum of the holy level.
Yi Lianlin saw the red-haired blood wine, felt the amazing momentum again, stopped talking, and turned away silently.
Xingchen ignored this and continued to talk to Blood Dance.
After a while, Xingchen was the only one left at the gate of the station. He looked in the direction of the west gate for a long time before entering the gate of the station.
Seven days later, the four figures came to the small town of Longxi outside the Longxi Mountains, and disappeared into the crowd, and soon they gathered in a small courtyard of guest rooms. The first person is Xingchen, and the other three are Su Ziyan, the head of the Confidential Department, He Kang, the head of the Ranger Department, and one of He Kang's subordinates.
After the four of them sat down, Xingchen gestured to Su Ziyan. Su Ziyan then said: "This time our mission is to encircle and suppress the bandit forces entrenched in the Longxi Mountain Range, and I have already obtained specific information about them. Minister He, how are you preparing?"
He Kang said, "I have arranged for the ten most elite ranger squads to take on simple squad missions, and they have now infiltrated the outskirts of the Longxi Mountain Range. In addition, there are five ranger squads, just in this Longxi town, ready to be on standby. β
Xingchen smiled: "Very good, tomorrow gather the five squads here, and we will set off directly." This operation is to be kept in absolute secrecy. He got up and went upstairs.
After Xingchen went upstairs, He Kangzhi walked to Chengzi beside him, approached Su Ziyan and asked in a low voice: "Minister Su, this time is just to exterminate the robbers, why do you want to keep it absolutely secret?" This is unreasonable. β
Su Ziyan stood up and smiled slightly, "The head of the regiment has his own reasons, Minister He, you have a good rest." Maybe we will encounter something surprising to you in the Longxi Mountains. With that, he walked into a guest room.
When He Kang heard this, he was a little confused.
Soon the next day came, a group of twenty-nine people gathered together, left Longxi Town, headed for the Longxi Mountains, and disappeared into the jungle.
As night fell, the team was still moving, and as they approached a firelight, Xingchen suddenly gave the order, "Sneak slowly, quietly surround it." β
After advancing for a distance, He Kang in the team saw more than a dozen people surrounding the fire in front of him, and said: "Commander, the front is an ordinary mercenary team, not a bandit, we surround it, which is equivalent to declaring war." β
Xingchen smiled slightly, and said, "The front is indeed an ordinary mercenary team, but they belong to the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group. When He Kang heard this, he was obviously stunned. At this time, Xingchen had already given the order, "Attack immediately, and those who descend will not be killed." β
The members of the Ranger squad were also obviously stunned, and the other party didn't look like a robber no matter how they looked.
He Kang recovered, but his eyes were red, "Brothers, robbers will not have the word robber written on their faces, let alone admit that they are robbers, unless you are under their swords." Attack immediately, and those who descend will not be killed. β
The five ranger squads, led by He Kang, surrounded them.
And Xingchen and Su Ziyan had been standing there, their eyes reflecting blood and fire.
Over the next three days, Xingchen led his team to wipe out the other four squads of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and gathered the other ten mercenary squads to a valley outside.
This valley is also known as Snow Swallow Valley, the mountains inside the valley are many vertical and steep walls, and it is one of the main production areas of Snow Swallow's Nest, a valuable ingredient in the southern region, and it has always been occupied by second- and third-level mercenary groups. The Fire Wolf Mercenary Group is a relatively powerful existence among the third-level mercenary groups, and there are people behind it, and they have occupied this place for more than five years.
In recent days, some scattered mercenaries have tried to venture into the Snow Swallow Valley, so Ming Chuan, the leader of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Regiment, is personally here to take charge.
It was supposed to be a beautiful day, but a team of more than fifty people suddenly appeared and blocked the mouth of the valley.
Xingchen stood in front of this team, and the head of the Mingchuan regiment appeared at the mouth of the valley and arched his hand: "In the lower Mingchuan, the head of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Regiment." May I ask what your Excellency is?"
Xingchen smiled, "I'm Lu Xingyun, the leader of the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment. β
Captain Mingchuan laughed, "Isn't the leader of the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment surnamed Yi? As a fifth-level mercenary group, you shouldn't look down on the Snow Swallow Bird's Nest business, who are you?"
Xingchen didn't answer, waving his hand, He Kang stood up and scolded: "Chuanzi, do you remember me?"
The head of Mingchuan's face was a little bad, and he argued: "My name is Mingchuan, not Chuanzi." You're a dead man, and you're not qualified to talk to me. β
At this time, Chengzi, who had been following He Kang, shouted: "Chuanzi, you white-eyed wolf, you falsely spread the news of the death of the head of the regiment twelve years ago, and then became the head of the regiment yourself, and now it is too late to make amends to the head of the regiment." β
Commander Mingchuan waved his hand, "I'm not wrong, and you guys are just that, I can eat you." With a wave of his hand, more than 200 people appeared.
Chengzi looked at it and exclaimed: "Impossible, the third-level mercenary group is full of three hundred, how can there be so many people here?"
Commander Mingchuan smiled: "There is nothing impossible, the vast majority of them are peripheral members. Thought I would be like your Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment, not recruiting outside members!"
Xingchen finally stood up, took out the Xingyao Sword, and said with a smile: "Sometimes there are many people, it doesn't mean victory. Saying that, the Ten Thousand Dao Sword Shadow appeared, surrounding the more than 200 people in the middle, "The descender is immortal, you choose!"
A mercenary immediately burst into foul language, wanting to break through the sword shadow, but died directly under the sword shadow.
When the others saw it, they left their weapons one after another, among them were Mingchuan's diehards, who wanted to attack the surrenderers, but they were also killed under the shadow of the sword, and in the end, no one supported Mingchuan.
Xingchen withdrew the Xingyao Sword, and the sword shadow slowly dissipated, and he instructed He Kang: "Now, you can handle the family affairs by yourself!"
