Chapter 11 Announcement of Mercenary Missions
The whole banquet ended successfully in a harmonious, friendly, warm and win-win atmosphere. Everyone bowed and prepared to leave with satisfaction.
Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan were naturally invited to the front and walked out of the restaurant first.
At the end of the team, the two big merchants who provided food were discussing something enthusiastically with each other.
"The two guys have a good show! They have lost 40%, so why don't you be afraid of losing your two families?" The middle-aged businessman with a jealous expression on his face interjected.
"Hey, hey, Brother Gao, you can't say that. Now the victims outside are all like crazy dogs. As long as you reward some food or not, they will do whatever they want! Not to mention losing 40%, we can offer sacrifices to the Lord even if it is given to him for free!" The grain was bold and bold. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Lord was just talking and would not really spend huge amounts of money to help these victims.
Everyone knows the reason why the Lord asked about food just now! It’s just that he wants to buy some food to get rid of the victims.
This archway, Lord Jue still seems to want to stand, but why don’t he do it? He just lost one or two thousand gold coins, which is much more important than giving one or two thousand gold coins to Lord Jue.
Thinking of this, the two grain merchants were filled with excitement and started to talk about how much grain each family gave, so they couldn't let the whole family benefit!
In the eyes of these two people, this is not a question of whoever loses too much. The more you lose, the more you will leave a deep impression on the Lord, so they all rushed to stop this loss-losing deal on themselves.
After leaving the restaurant, a cold wind blew. Li Xiangfeng, who was already covered with cotton coats, couldn't help but shivered and wrapped the cotton coat tightly again.
With the warm farewell of everyone, Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan were sent onto the carriage and drove directly to the inn arranged by the prefect.
After getting on the carriage, I passed by the back door of the restaurant less than a few meters away, and there were a large group of ragged people around.
Torn clothes, torn hats, and cotton wool has been oozed out of the entire cotton coat, which is better because at least there are cotton coats to wear, and some people are even wearing thin torn thick linens.
But in a trance, Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan saw what these people were doing together.
Because there are two large buckets of water on the back door of the restaurant, the leftovers of the restaurant will be poured here.
Isn't this! As Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan looked at him, several restaurant clerks carried a few buckets of leftover rice out of the door.
In an instant, it was like feeding a flock of chickens, and the crowds around were like hungry chickens, pushing each other towards the inn mates.
I saw that the inn guys looked very unhappy and even bored. They took wooden sticks and beat the crowd that rushed in front of them.
After the crowded crowd flashed out of the gap, the restaurant staff carefully carried the wooden barrel and fell into the bucket.
The reason why I am careful is not because I am afraid of touching the ragged crowd, but because I am worried that the leftovers will spill out, splash onto the ground and on top of my clothes.
Li Xiangfeng was born in a fishing village and had seen fish rushing to eat. The dense feeling of fish that rushes to the food spot will make some special people uncomfortable.
Now the crowd around was like a group of fish, rushing to the bucket, and began to pick up the leftovers inside and eat it. After squeezing in front of them, the people who were very skillful and quick to eat it, they picked up the basin they carried with them and took a large basin, and then left with satisfaction.
Perhaps there are other people waiting for him to take care of him.
These people are crowded, but they have certain rules and have not been occupied. How many times have they been
It is just a regulation formed after the conflict.
Some leftovers will cause so many regulations, which will make people feel sad!
Of course, those people are relatively lucky because they still have the strength to grab food and there are places to grab it. However, as the carriage goes forward, there are occasionally a few thin and thin people lying there dying in some calm streets.
These people not only have to bear the cold and hunger, but also have to beware of the whole person robbing the cotton coats they wear.
"The rich family smells like wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death! Today is a prosperous era that is praised by the world!" Li Xiangfeng no longer had the heart to look at the scene outside, pulled the curtain of the carriage and sighed helplessly.
Yu Yan looked coldly at those who had lost their lives, and then the cotton coat on his body was picked up by someone.
Time seemed to be frozen. Li Xiangfeng once thought that no matter how poor he was, he was at least a minority, and no matter how poor he was, he was just hungry.
What shocked Li Xiangfeng was the group of refugees who fled from the north to outside Nanyang City. The impact force once made Li Xiangfeng wonder whether he lived on the same continent as them and whether he was from the same empire.
Looking at the current scene, human life actually produces the same value as a bite of rice. Above that kind of books, the scene of troubled times that appear in the mouth of a bookmaker seems to appear in front of you.
Will the next scene be a sea of corpses and blood?
Could it be a scene where you eat with a child?
Could it be that all creatures on the continent are in turmoil?
Now the answer given in Li Xiangfeng's mind has come out clearly.
The answer is yes.
The alien race from the Roaring Continent has landed in the Trona Empire and has strangled with the men on the grassland. Its power is as powerful as a bamboo shoot and it has soared!
Sweeping the grasslands all the way, defeating the iron cavalry of the famous continent of the Trona Empire one after another. The entire iron cavalry was barely unable to collapse on the entire line under the command of the general.
The reason why the Trona Empire sent envoys to visit various empires urgently was that it was simply that it could not resist the attacks of the entire foreign continent, and sent out an emergency rescue signal and came up with the regulations stipulated in the Continental Peace Agreement!
The whistle of the United Army came from the Trona Empire, resounding throughout the new continent that flowed out of the dark swamp, and now the United Army tried to reorganize again.
Have the enlisted empires and races fulfilled the agreements three hundred years ago?
This is still unknown? But the Trona Empire has fallen into war!
The war had already started to burn on the Trona prairie and spread around the prairie wind.
And now, Li Xiangfeng has stepped into this muddy water with various reasons!
"It seems that even if I don't plan to flow in, this muddy water will flow to me!" Li Xiangfeng said a little worried.
"Those people!" Yu Yan moved his eyes from outside the carriage back to the carriage, but the curtains were not hung up, and his expression was cold and he said, "We can't save it!"
After so long, Li Xiangfeng did not expect that Yu Yan would only summarize this sentence. Naturally, Li Xiangfeng thought that he could save so many people now.
Having the ability to rescue such people is something Li Xiangfeng doesn’t even want to do and a long time ago.
"Let's talk about this hurdle in my heart first!" Li Xiangfeng did not think that he had a broad mind, but he still had a narrow mind that he would never save him! What's more, there were tens of thousands of lives.
Humans are not so indifferent yet!
Even if you can't save much, you can
Let them have a few bites of food?
This is the only thing Li Xiangfeng can do at the moment.
The carriage soon arrived at a very luxurious inn. Not far from this inn is the hub of the entire Beiyang City - the Prefect's Mansion!
Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan stayed in this extremely luxurious inn for one night, but were "disturbed" by several groups of people for a while at night.
Just when a fish belly white appeared in the east, two light cavalry had already sailed out of Beiyang City and galloped straight on the Beiyang City mainland highway.
After a moment, he stopped at the Beiyang City Mercenary Guild.
The mercenary guild here seems to be much more dilapidated than the mercenary guilds that Li Xiangfeng had seen. In Li Xiangfeng's concept, he believed that as one of the four major military fortresses of the empire, its mercenary guilds should be much better than other mercenary guilds.
It would be okay if it was a little worse than Ciping City. Except for the large house area, other places here are the same as those in mercenary guilds in ordinary villages and towns.
Crunch!
Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan pushed open the door of the Mercenary Guild, and there were several groups of mercenary teams sitting in it, and the entire hall seemed very empty.
"Why are you so calm here?" Li Xiangfeng muttered and stepped into the Mercenary Guild!
Beiyang City can be said to be within the war zone. Some powerful mercenaries have moved to areas that have not been affected by the war. Some powerful mercenaries simply took over the garrison issued by the government and went to the front line to perform the mission.
Other mercenary groups that were neither up nor down had more or less carried out some tasks in the war zone and got into the mudflat! Due to their own strength, some people were able to get out, while some people were buried in the mudflat forever.
The senior members of the Mercenary Guild have also moved to other places. In addition to the few staff members left behind and a magic teleportation array, all of them have evacuated the Beiyang City Mercenary Guild?
Maybe someone would express confusion?
Why do the Mercenary Guild still need to evacuate? Shouldn’t you resist when war comes?
The answer is no. Mercenary Guild is affiliated with a private organization. Although it has close ties with the government, everything needs to be based on its own interests.
The Mercenary Guild is not part of the court's military strength, so naturally there is no responsibility or obligation to shed blood for the court. Of course, as for the government's rewards and convening mercenaries, the Mercenary Guild is still willing to accept it because it is within the normal business scope.
Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan's coming in did not attract much attention. Except for a few people who were curious about taking a look, the others were still muttering to each other.
Most of the mercenary mission boards are also tasks that enter war zones or issued by the government, while the staff members are depressed and pondering something.
"Cough, cough!" Li Xiangfeng coughed twice, awakening the staff who were intoxicated in his own world.
The staff looked at Li Xiangfeng as if he had not had a rest last night.
"What's the matter?" It seemed that the mercenary staff was a little unhappy that Li Xiangfeng disturbed his "beautiful dream".
Seeing this, Li Xiangfeng was furious and had never seen such a arrogant staff member. If this attitude was placed in the Beiyang City Mercenary Guild, he would have been bombarded by the mercenaries long ago.
The complaint is light, and the irritable mercenary will probably beat him up and fly all over the sky.
"Releasing a mission!" Li Xiangfeng also learned from the staff's tone and said lazyly.
"It takes more than twenty people to follow me to help the victims outside the city! The commission is 1 gold coin per person a day!"
Speaking of this, everyone turned their attention to Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan.
Chapter completed!
