Ye Wen sat at a round table in the corner of the tavern, looking at the cups of wine piled up on the entire table in front of him, he couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling a little helpless, the brothers of the reconnaissance team couldn't help but like to drink too much, even Captain Qin Mofei.

"Little Brother Ye, come, you must drink in a big gulp, I will treat you today, you don't have to be polite!"

Captain Qin Mofei took down the wine jug from the tray in the waiter's hand, and then while pouring the wine, he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said with a bold smile: "I heard that Yan Zhongzhi and they slaughtered you fiercely last time, won't you be scared out of the shadows?"

"Inviting the brothers of the army to drink is a matter of duty. ”

Smiling shyly, Ye Wen's eyes swept over the turquoise liquor in the glass, and he took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck out all the essence of the liquor, and suddenly stretched out his hand and raised the wine glass to drink it all, his young face was slightly red, although he had drunk it several times, his alcohol was still too shallow.

After a pause, Ye Wen let out a sigh of relief, then swept around the table, and asked with some confusion: "Yes, captain, why didn't you see Brother Yan and them appear?"

"They happen to have a mission ahead of them, and they won't be able to come today. ”

Before Captain Qin Mofei could answer, Yang Tuo, a veteran who was drinking wine next to him, smiled slightly, perhaps because the wine was too enjoyable, his eyes seemed to be a little confused, and he generally poured himself wine, while explaining: "Our reconnaissance unit belongs to the supernumerary system, and it doesn't have to perform routine tasks like the Red Tiger Guard, but occasionally small tasks are assigned, because the remuneration is not bad, Yan Zhongzhi and they volunteered, you shouldn't be able to see them these days." ”

"I see!"

Ye Wen's face showed a sudden look, then his eyes lit up slightly, and his face moved: "Those rewards...... I have heard that in addition to distributing a fixed amount of military silver and military rations, the logistics department of the army will also give special rewards under certain circumstances, depending on the difficulty and danger of the task and the military merits of the executors.

"Well...... this"

Yang Tuo, a drunken veteran, burped, and after calling the waiter to order a few dishes, he saw Ye Wen's eyes that implied longing, and suddenly laughed dumbly, and he was also a little stunned.

Shaking his head, the veteran Yang Tuo sighed: "Young people just like to look for death, it's rare that they don't have a task on their bodies, so they don't have to go to the battlefield, so why bother asking for trouble? ”

"Lao Yang, don't sell it, think back to the past, you are almost this virtue, right? And maybe even more fanatical, otherwise you won't be called crazy. ”

Seeing that his long-time comrades-in-arms were teasing the newcomer again, Captain Qin Mofei couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and then he also took a sip of his wine glass, sighed, and said to Ye Wen: "The history of the formation of the reconnaissance force in Thousand Nights City is not too long, about twenty years, and the establishment of our squad is only a few years, because it is a newly created detachment, and even the superior unit has not yet been determined. ”

"For this reason, from the composition of the members to the distribution of tasks, they are quite arbitrary, not so much regular soldiers, but mercenaries, however, this statement is actually a bit wrong, after all, we still have to obey the orders of the military department, but it is true that compared to other regular armies, we are considered semi-free, in addition to the reconnaissance tasks issued by the military department, we can also cooperate with other military units according to the situation, in exchange for additional military merits. ”

"And Yan Zhongzhi and them just happened to find a suitable task, uh, I want to think about it...... It is said that one of the missions recently issued by the Demon Wolf Guard, and it happens to be within their ability, so they rushed to take over the mission, according to the custom, they probably won't come back for ten days, and you shouldn't see them during this time. ”

Speaking of this, Captain Qin Mofei's voice paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the turquoise wine in the wine glass, he suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "However, those extra rewards are not as valuable as you imagined, our reconnaissance force is just a small team after all, there are many powerful monks in the army, and it is not so easy to grab meat to eat in the lion pack." ”

As soon as the words fell, the veteran Yang Tuo suddenly smiled coldly, but he didn't know who the target was, the expression on his face was calm as usual, but if he carefully distinguished, he would find that there was some depression in the calm, obviously from Captain Qin Mofei's words, he remembered something unpleasant.

Ye Wen scratched his head, kept silent with a sense of humor, lowered his head and continued to drink, he remembered the scene he saw here that day, the conflict between Lin Dashan, who belonged to the Demon Wolf Guard, and the people of the Red Tiger Guard, although in the end the two sides still maintained restraint, making it barely a peaceful ending, but it always exposed the problem of not being united within the army.

The attitude of Captain Qin Mofei and veteran Yang Tuo was meaningful, Ye Wen vaguely understood what the reason was, but since neither of them wanted to talk more, he would not continue to ask without interest.

"Huh, this voice seems to be a little messy, what's going on outside the store?"

Just when the atmosphere was becoming inexplicably dull, Ye Wen suddenly turned his head, his eyes narrowed and looked outside the door of the tavern, and he vaguely saw that there were people running by outside the tavern, as if they were collectively rushing in a certain direction, and there seemed to be a commotion on the street.

"Let's go, what are you still doing here? Lin Dashan of the Demon Wolf Guard and Li Shenyuan of the Red Tiger Guard are preparing for a death match in the dueling arena now!"

At this time, a sturdy man with a happy face rushed in from outside the tavern, and he stretched out his hand to grab a young man who was sitting at the table, just holding a wine glass and preparing to drink: "The wine can be drunk next time, if you miss this duel, I don't know how long it will take to see the excitement!"

As soon as these words came out, the tavern, which was originally full of noisy noise, suddenly fell silent, and then every soldier in it first looked at each other, glanced at each other, and then quickly threw the wine money on the table, and ran out of the tavern one by one without saying a word.

"It's ......"

Seeing this scene in the tavern, Ye Wen couldn't help but be a little surprised, although he had just learned the news, he was indeed a little interested, especially when he recalled the scene of the conflict between the two that day a moment ago, but he didn't expect that as soon as the soldiers in the tavern heard the news, they were like sharks smelling blood, and they couldn't wait to run outside, and it seemed that even the wine in front of them became less important.

"Hmph! Those who have been on the battlefield for a long time have either grown to have an aversion to killing, or have been assimilated by that bloodthirsty atmosphere, and in general, the latter is obviously far more numerous than the former. ”

As if seeing through the doubts in Ye Wen's heart, the veteran Yang Tuo's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the soldiers who were rushing out, and said lightly: "However, it's no wonder they are so excited, after all, in the Huoluo stronghold, except for some special areas, it is usually forbidden to kill or kill, and no one dares to recognize the military rules set by General Huo, so things like life and death duels are rare here." ”

"And the news of the death match between those two people can spread, presumably through the approval of the military department, that is, it has been recognized, and it is not restricted by military regulations, how can those who like to watch the excitement be willing to miss such a grand event?"

"I see. ”

Seeing that the tavern was suddenly empty, Ye Wen pondered for a moment before turning around and saying, "Captain Qin, Brother Yang, why don't we go and see it too."
