When a pair of hovercars on the opposite side approached them dozens of feet under the cover of night, and had already entered the bow and arrow range, Sun Jian shouted loudly: "Stop! We are a caravan from the province, if you have no malicious intentions, please keep your distance!"

On the other side, someone in the hovercar in the darkness replied loudly, "You want to die! In the firelight, Qiu Peng noticed that each mercenary had a surprised look on their faces, and only heard Sun Jian say loudly: "Impossible, the Thunder Fire Hall is the guard of the General Security Headquarters Féi City, how could he run outside the Guan? Think I don't know? Lao Tzu used to be from the Thunder Fire Hall." ”

At this time, I heard a voice on the other side shouting loudly: "Light the torch!" One by one, the torches lit up, and the suspended convoy in the darkness was illuminated by the firelight, and it turned out to be a suspended iǎ team of about seventy or eighty people, dressed neatly in armor and uniforms, all of which were all Qing Yi models.

Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly showed joy, turned around and made a gesture to everyone to cancel the vigilance, everyone also put away their weapons, Sun Jian accelerated and greeted him. He said loudly: "I'm Sun Jian." Do you still recognize me, Lao Guan?"

Everyone stayed where they were, and saw Sun Jian rushing to the front from a distance, greeting the leader of the iǎ who led the team, and slowly leading the group of men and horses to this side.

Coming to everyone, a group of soldiers jumped out of the hovercar, and Sun Jianxing happily introduced to everyone: "This is the Guan Da captain of the Lingyun Pavilion Thunder Fire Hall, and he is also our old acquaintance in Féi City back then. They are all good friends. ”

The implication is that he is very familiar with Guan Da, but looking at Guan Da's face, it is obviously not as familiar as Sun Jian described, hearing Sun Jian's introduction, there was a faint displeasure on his face, and he reluctantly responded with a little coldness: "That's, that's, back then, Sun Jian was also one of our teammates!"

Sun Jian said affectionately: "You haven't eaten yet, it's just right, let's eat together." Wouldn't it be nice to talk about it?"

Guan Da looked at the sumptuous food in front of him, and while saying that he was embarrassed, he had already sat down, and said politely: "Don't be polite, everyone, sit together." ”

After speaking, he ordered his deputy Gu Kang to arrange for other people to set up camp and cook. Gu Kang was a middle-aged man who looked to be forty years old, with a bearded face, and he looked rude.

Then, everyone sat around the bonfire again, and a few more subordinates brought by Guan Da came over, and everyone greeted each other and introduced each other.

Finally, Sun Jian said: "Lao Guan, the last time I saw you, you were just an iǎ sergeant. Now he has become the captain of iǎ, and he has been promoted so quickly. Do you remember how we used to go drinking and gambling together?"

Guan Da smiled coldly, as if he didn't want Sun Jian to repeatedly mention the past. said lightly: "Yes, since you were expelled from the gang for violating the rules, we haven't seen each other for a long time." You're a mercenary now, aren't you?

Sun Jian smiled awkwardly: "Where, where, that's as proud as you." ”

He Ping looked at it coldly from the side, and found that Guan Da looked lukewarm to Sun Jian, obviously not very satisfied with Sun Jian's call him Lao Guan, after all, Sun Jian's identity today is completely different from back then.

There is an insurmountable gap between the social status of an iǎ captain of Lingyun Pavilion and a very ordinary mercenary, and Sun Jian, who still does not have a clear understanding of this, although he changed his name to Guan Da from iǎguan to Lao Guan, he still does not realize that he should show him the respect he deserves now, instead of being affectionate with him.

So He Ping hurriedly said: "Captain Guan's name, we all heard about it in Féi City back then. Isn't the Thunder Fire Hall part of the guard work of Féi City? It's stationed in Féi City, so I wonder how I got to the gate this time?"

Guan Da smirked and said, "Speaking of which, that's a great deal. ”

Guan Da looked around and found that everyone was paying attention, so he continued: "This time, we will go out of the customs to replace the pavilion master Beijiao. The people around them let out a sigh of surprise.

He Ping continued to ask in surprise: "Hasn't the matter of the Northern Hunt always been handled by the Wild Wolf Hall of the Border Division?

Guan Da's expression became even more smug and said, "Bei Hunt is lacking. Every year it is controlled by the Wolf Hall, and the féi water flows to them. For example, when Lao Sun was there, every year they took turns hunting in the Wild Wolf Hall. We can't get any oil or water from our church. Speaking of this, Guan Da smiled and stabbed Sun Jian: "Didn't Boss Sun Jian get out of the building because of oil back then, and was expelled from the gang?"

Sun Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "So what's going on now?"

Guan Da continued: "It's different now. ”

His tone was full of pride and smugness: "Do you know who the current hall master of the Thunder Fire Hall is? Do you know who Chen Yanjin is? That's the eldest prince's man, and he is a henchman. With such a background, what are you worried about not being able to do?"

Sun Jian's eyes showed a look of envy, and he said: "Ah, aren't you very hot now? In Féi City, who dares not to give you face?"

"That's right," Guan Da patted Da Uǐ, happily patted Sun Jian's shoulder again, and continued: "I often tell their subordinates that if Lao Sun can catch up with today, no one will dare to take care of your little thing at all. Sun Jian, you haven't caught up with the good time. ”

He Ping's mouth asked, "Why did you come here this time?"

Guan Da obviously felt that he hadn't said enough about the topic he liked to talk about, so he pretended not to hear and continued: "Think about it, what kind of person is the eldest prince? This iǎiǎ is a northern hunt, and how can it be under the words of the eldest prince. ”

Speaking of this, Guan Da whispered in a mysterious tone in a more iǎ voice: "I'll tell you another inside story. I heard that in order to fight for the right to hunt in the north this time, the eldest prince and the second prince almost quarreled in front of the king and made a big fight, but in the end, of course, the eldest prince won. After all, he is the heir to the first palm. Isn't it?"

The only person present was Sun Jian's loud and enthusiastic nod: "Yes, yes." The others were silent and unresponsive. The whole scene looked exceptionally deserted.

Guan Da then remembered that the eldest son and the second prince of Lingyun Pavilion had been fighting openly and secretly for the battle for the master, and the eldest prince had been courting the so-called academic faction, that is, those young people who had graduated from formal schools.

In order to compete with it, the second son has been trying to win over the four sects and eighteen-rate folk factions to compete with it.

And since the Pavilion Master took power twenty years ago, there has been a rule that the War Department and the Management Department must have a diploma from a second-rate academy or above to participate, which leads to the fact that the disciples of the so-called four sects and eighteenth-rate can no longer enter the Lingyun Pavilion, so mercenaries have become their main way out. Most of these mercenaries in front of them are probably disciples of the four sects and eighteenth ranks, right? When I talk to these people about the battle for the throne between the eldest prince and the second prince, they will naturally look towards the second prince in their hearts.

Thinking of this, Guan Da also felt a little bored, and his face was a little embarrassed.

He Ping hurriedly asked, "This time in the North Hunt, how many people have come to the Thunder Fire Hall, and how many days have you been out?"

Guan Da shook up and continued: "This time, Chen Biting Jin Hall Master led a total of five thousand people, and it has been nearly half a month since he was out of the customs. ”

Sun Jian said in surprise: "For such a long time? That must be a lot of money, and you have already caught thousands of untouchables, right?"

"!" Guan Da said rudely: "It's strange here, in previous years, the border soldiers carried out northern hunting, and this area was full of these runaway untouchables, and they could catch as many as they wanted, but this year, as soon as we came, we searched all over the radius of a few hundred miles, and we only found two or three hundred people." And they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. ”
