Chapter 178

Shao Zhen was not nervous, and went back to the inn to settle the rent in a very cool manner. The innkeeper asked Li Jun a few questions, saying that he went to the Q floor for a drink, so he didn't know much about it, so he left.The boss is not a troublesome person.In addition, people from Datang's side came forward, and the matter was settled.

Shao Zhen took those two carriages, went to the mercenary guild to find a few mercenaries from the fierce country, and set off for Hongcheng. Of course, before looking for mercenaries, he went to the happy place to earn some gold coins with restraint. Lin Siguo's lurker and killer also had huge sums of money.It's just that I haven't found any clues about the plot player so far.

Shao Zhen filled in Li Jun on his identity certificate, and those mercenaries were called A Gu, A Nong, A Mei, A Jie, and A Mei for short, because if they were to be called by their full names, there were more than a dozen of them. The pronunciation is really a mouthful.

Shao Zhen didn't have the habit of asking for trouble, so everything was simplified.That sister is Ajie's biological sister, who was born in an old mercenary family, thinking that sometimes a woman might be needed on the road, for example, when the other party is a woman, so she also brought it for Ajie's sake, Of course, the price is only nine gold coins, which is [-]% off the price of ordinary mercenaries. Seeing her unconvinced expression, Li Jun wanted to laugh.

In fact, it didn't take a month to arrive in Hongcheng, but the price was still relatively high, because it was easier to get gold coins, and I wanted to leave relatively safely and quickly.

When he was leaving the border city gate, Ajie's parents came to say goodbye. The old mercenary had traveled to many places and knew a lot of things. A man and a woman, spend the rest of their lives in peace.

Among them, he asked Ajie to take good care of his sister, and then expressed his gratitude to Li Jun again and again, and even secretly gave Shao Zhen ten gold coins and several maps, just hoping to take care of his sister who has a strong temper. Said it was my sister's first trip or something.

After taking the map, he pushed the gold coin back and said, as long as I don't die, my sister will be fine. The old mother almost wanted to recruit Shao Zhen to be her son-in-law.Fortunately, Ajie came to make a rescue before he was able to set off.

But that younger sister really has a personality, probably because of the same age, as soon as her parents left, she came to Li Jun on horseback and asked if they gave you money to take care of me, Shao Zhen had to smile wryly and said, no, no.They just told me to be careful on the road.The younger sister snorted and said with disbelief, I heard them talking last night, but I won't cause you any trouble.

Shao Zhen thought in his heart, no wonder no one dared to hire you, you have a sharp tongue and such a high price, it's just your first time going out, and it's not your first time.But thinking about the promise to the old mercenary, he smiled and said nothing.

The plan is to go to Hongcheng to find the senior officer and kill him, and then see if there is any opportunity to advance the plot in Hongcheng. Anyway, the goods in the carriage are not very valuable, and it may be a loss if you include the mercenary fee Not a lot.But there are a few mammoths who are always safer in mammoth country and less boring.

Since Shao Zhen knew a lot of fierce language, he talked and laughed all the way smoothly. In the evening, he arrived at a forest. Li Jun looked at the map and estimated that it would take more than ten days to pass through this forest area. According to the sign, there are some small barracks deep in the forest, most of which are managed by the mercenary union, and there are no permanent residents.So he set up a tent by the forest and lived there. Of course, Shao Zhen also did it himself, mainly to prevent A-mei from getting angry, which made A-jie very embarrassed.

As for A Gu and the others, they were a bit older, so they arranged everything properly. A Gu was a mammoth mixed race, Shao Zhen made him the captain, A Nong was his friend, and A Mei was A Jie's friend.They all received the junior mercenary certificate in the mercenary guild. Only Amei is a trainee mercenary, and the employer must give a good review to get the junior certificate.So only Amei didn't know much about it, and asked the boss to work with everyone.But there was only such a girl in the team, and everyone gave her some face.

The fire was raised, and everyone gathered around drinking and chatting. At this time, the two moons had already come out. Listening to everyone talking about things in the world, confirming the memories I got, I learned a little more about the plot.

According to A Gu, his father is from Tang Country, and he seems to have a certain status in Tang Country, but 20 years ago, when A Gu was ten years old, there was no news of him. I live with my mother, and when I grow up, I want to go to my father, but my mother doesn't allow me, saying that I can't go to find him without news from my father.When Shao Zhen heard this, he understood in his heart that he was probably the descendant of another lurker.But Ah Gu himself didn't seem to know, and continued to chat.

A Gu's father left a large sum of money before he left, so A Gu grew up in a happy life, but he grew up slowly and learned martial arts, so he had to find something to do, so he was here I have been wasting my time in the mercenary union. I followed Shao Zhen this time. First, I thought Shao Zhen was from Tang, and second, I had walked the road to Hongcheng a few times. Although there was a risk, it was not too big, so A Gu mother agreed.

And A Nong is A Gu's good friend since he was a child, and he is also a mixed blood of Tang and Meng, but his family background is not as good as that of A Gu, so he has been working in the mercenary union for a long time.But his skills are not as good as Ah Gu's, so he is only a junior mercenary.

The other three are simple, basically novices, but because they have some relationship with the mercenary union in Border City, for example, the old mercenary is a small cadre in the guild.So they all followed this trip to Hongcheng, which was not a high-risk but rewarding trip.

After finishing the big bag of kumiss, Shao Zhen went into his exclusive tent to rest, of course practicing is inevitable.

The next day it was the little girl's singing that woke me up. I knew that the girl's family hoped that the girl would go to a conservatory or something, because that voice was really melodious and charming.It is estimated that after the novelty of being a mercenary passes, he will go to sing or something.

I'm about to enter the forest soon, and I heard from A Gu that there are still a lot of beasts in the forest, and most people still walk around, but the big caravans are not afraid, because the journey time is much less, but Shao Zhen is in a hurry to get there In Hongcheng, only a few people went straight through the forest. Of course, with the suggestion of the mercenary union, they built two very strong carriages. If the beasts are too powerful, they can throw the goods out, and people go in to hide and wait for rescue. .

In fact, the old foxes of the mercenary union have already seen that Shao Zhen's goods are not making money. They probably are some kind of big family son who came out to practice or something. It's just that there are rules, so they toss around at will.Each has its own advantages.

This forest is really big. After walking for a long time, there are tall trees covering the sky on both sides of the road. Maybe it was because of the need of the war that such a road was opened in this big forest, but as it continued to deepen, There are more and more wild beasts, appearing on the side of the road and howling loudly, but there are still few ferocious beasts that cannibalize people. According to A Gu, it will take more than ten days to go on like this.

Shao Zhen also felt that he had underestimated the difficulties when he heard it, and that sister, although she still had a stubborn face, there was also a little fear deep in her eyes.

Soon it was getting dark, A Gu led everyone into an empty small barracks, since there is no war now, this barracks is also empty, usually lent to the mercenaries, of course it is good to donate something to the management officer Necessary, but also to help maintain it and the like.

There is already a relatively large caravan next to the barracks. They entered the forest yesterday, but there are many ordinary horses and ordinary people, so they are greatly disturbed by wild animals. The journey is much slower than that of Li Jun. Twice, because the Meng'e country is relatively peaceful now, there are very few strong men in this forest, and the danger mainly comes from wild animals, so they didn't invite mercenaries, so they couldn't enter the barracks, so they had to camp on the edge of the barracks.

After A Gu led his people in, he closed the gate directly, and didn't say anything to the people in the big caravan, but just said hello.

Shao Zhen went in and took a look. The barracks were really small, but the walls were built in all directions to make it look bigger. It is estimated that only officials can live in the house when the soldiers are actually stationed, and the others can only pitch tents.The barracks was built on a small hillside. You can see the outside situation from the roof of the barracks. When you ran up to have a look, the lush forest had already turned dark, and all you saw were tents outside the wall.

A Gu shared some food for everyone, and told everyone to rest early, because they had to hurry tomorrow, otherwise they would not be able to reach the next military depot, so they had to camp in the wild, and the danger would increase several times.Of course, this was mainly for A-mei, so A-mei went to have a rest with A-jie, but outside the wall was quite lively, there were many people in the caravan, and they were not on their way, so they were still drinking and chatting of.

Shao Zhen began to practice in the house with peace of mind, and fell asleep when his whole body was warm, but his light green mental strength seemed to have remained unchanged.
