Chapter 23: Chinese Army Camp (Thanks to Alliance Leader Ruomu for his support)
That Geng Junhou is indeed a real person, but I heard that he was a fat man weighing 200 pounds. He still lives in Xuchang every day, playing cockfights, drinking and playing prostitutes, so Fang Linyan and the others are now completely free-range.
But since the messenger in front of him clearly had bad intentions, Fang Linyan didn't mind teaching him a lesson, letting him know that his group was not easy to handle.
Facing Fang Linyan's resistance, the messenger said calmly:
"You're not going, are you? Then I'll carry you there."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Fang Linyan's collar, and tried to lift it up and slam it to the ground!
However, when he exerted his strength, he found that his wrist was firmly grasped, as if there was an iron hoop inlaid on it. Suddenly, he could not make any subsequent movements, and then he felt
A strong surge of force came, and the ordering soldier involuntarily stepped back five or six steps, and sat down on the ground behind him.
At this time, he was so angry that he suddenly felt a little embarrassed on his face. He immediately waved his hand and shouted angrily:
"Hit me!"
It could be seen that the orderly soldiers were well prepared, and immediately a dozen soldiers silently rushed up carrying wooden clubs.
After discovering this, Max immediately said in the team channel:
"It seems that the rumors are true. Although the military has very strict military laws, fighting in private is not prohibited. As long as no one is killed without using a knife, it will be fine."
"There are many factions in Cao Cao's army and there are many mountains. Some conflicts and battles are inevitable in normal times. So as long as we are careful, we won't have too many sequelae when dealing with these guys."
Crespo also added at this time:
"Another very important point is, don't lose."
The vulture laughed and said:
"As long as the goat doesn't hold me back."
The goat simply rolled his eyes, and at this time, the guys carrying wooden sticks had already rushed forward. Unfortunately, without weapons, they could not take advantage of their high attack power.
Fang Linyan, who is blocking the front, possesses up to lv10 melee skills and extraordinary strength. He can be said to be the mainstay in such a melee!
Facing the enemy's fierce stick, Fang Linyan tilted his head slightly and let the stick hit the door frame next to him.
The owner of the stick used so much force that the entire door frame made a loud noise, and then dust fell.
However, the next thing the guy wielding the stick had two fingers stuck in his eyes, he covered his face and shouted in pain.
But at this time, more sticks were aimed at Fang Linyan. He blocked one of them with his free hand, and then pulled the guy in front of him who was covering his face to block the other two sticks that were swung at him.
The guy who was hit by two wooden sticks suddenly screamed in pain. The two people who accidentally injured his colleagues were stunned, so Fang Linyan took the opportunity to cleverly bump into the arms of one of them, and then punched him
In this guy's liver.
This punch to the liver is a common routine in boxing. It will cause severe pain and loss of fighting ability on the spot, but it will not be a problem if you rest for a while.
There is no doubt that the guy collapsed immediately.
The other person who attacked Fang Linyan was jumped by Rubes and knocked to the ground!
At this time, Max and others also joined the battle group...
After a while, these arrogant-looking guys fell to the ground and groaned. Some patrolling soldiers came over and took a look. They made sure that no knife was used and there was no blood, and they left simply.
Obviously, this kind of thing is commonplace and accustomed to them in the military camp, and they don't think it is a big deal.
After a while, the group of people calmed down and helped each other to leave. Apparently they felt that losing the fight was a shameful thing, so they had no time to say harsh words.
What’s even funnier is that after these people left, Fang Linyan and the other five people actually got the reminder:
"Members of the Legend Team, you just won a brawl in the military camp."
"Because many people in the team have +1 legend, it has also attracted some attention, and you have begun to become somewhat famous among the small-scale Cao army."
"Each of you will increase the reputation of Cao Jun by 200 points."
There is no doubt that this reminder made everyone extremely excited. Max, who was not yet satisfied, felt that he had found a way to make money. The fight just now seemed like a warm-up for him.
By the way, Max said in his usual chat that one of his major hobbies is boxing. If the old man hadn't seriously opposed and obstructed him, he might have been the heavyweight gold belt champion in the 85kg category.
However, the goat poured cold water on the side and said that it was difficult to control the degree. His group was not well received in Cao's army. If he took the initiative to provoke, what would he do if he was punished by military law regardless of whether he won or lost?
Thinking about it, many people think so. The space will not leave such a big loophole for you to take advantage of.
After the gang left, Fang Linyan thought about it and said:
"Who do you think is coming to trouble us this time?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads:
"Not sure."
"Hard to say."
"Hard to say."
"..."
Crespo suddenly said at this time:
"No matter what the other party's intentions are, it can be inferred that their backstage must be at least a general."
"Secondly, although these guys are here to cause trouble for us, there is no good solution from the official side. Otherwise, after we beat them up, they would not leave in despair. This shows that
This general must abide by the rules."
"In the end, they just left like this, and they will definitely not give up. The other party will probably come back in a fierce manner. So, we might as well go out to perform the task now? To avoid it for a while? After the other party has rushed to nothing, at least the arrogance will not
So arrogant."
After listening to Crespo's suggestion, Fang Linyan thought it was quite good. He thought about it and said:
"Didn't we receive news before? That dead ghost Zhang Xu said that a treasure was born here, which attracted many forces to covet and investigate."
"Although his purpose of disclosing this information at the time was to cover up his own secrets, it was obviously not just a lie. If it was made up on the fly, he would certainly not be able to fabricate such a complete and well-organized lie."
"So let's take on a mission with a high degree of freedom. Firstly, we can avoid the limelight, and secondly, we can explore the relevant situation."
So a group of people went directly to the square to take over the mission, and found that although there were fewer people here, there were more people carrying signs.
These signs all have different slogans written on them:
"Selling various information, equipment, and props."
"Purchase various summoning props such as Dao Wen Ce, Zhuang Ding Ce, etc. at high prices."
"The Black Forest Tier 6 team is recruiting a member with stealth skills. The perception must be above 40 points. There will be no racial discrimination and favorable treatment!"
"The Seventh Level Team of Fiery Flame requires a legal profession. He must be a colonist and good at firepower output. If you cooperate well, you can join for a long time."
"The unique mission: attack Tuanlin Town! The mission reward is: Xuchang quality coupons! The mission can be shared. If you want to know the details of the mission, you need to sign a confidentiality contract. We sincerely invite all strong people to join."
"Selling dark gold-level props: Fire Token, which can increase the power of certain props/equipment in this world. The sleeve arrows can also be strengthened and become a range attack with fire damage. Reporters respect themselves. Those who want to negotiate the price need to verify their qualifications first.
!”
"...."
Obviously, these signs were given a 404 because they had related "banned words" written on them. All the characters in the plot turned a blind eye to them. However, Fang Linyan looked at the dark gold-level props curiously and said in confusion:
“How does this verification of capital before negotiating the price work?”
Goat is an expert in this area and said directly:
"After applying for a transaction, you can show the other party your current funds without confirming the transaction."
"What? Boss, are you interested in the Fire Token? This thing has been sold directly, so it probably won't be much cheaper."
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"It's not that I'm interested in it, but if its effect is really so powerful, why would that guy sell it? I'm just asking out of curiosity."
There is no doubt that there is no unique mission waiting for them now, so after a brief discussion, they accepted an ordinary mission: to bring back the heads of five Liu Beijun.
The time limit for this mission is 12 hours. At the same time, I got a simple map with Liu Beijun's nearby strongholds marked on it.
There are no mandatory restrictions on obtaining the first-level head, and any transaction can be carried out secretly, abducted, or swindled. However, one thing is particularly noted:
That is, it must be obtained from the regular army (war soldiers) of Liu Bei's side to count, not villagers or heavy troops, because most of the heavy troops now are out-and-out civilians.
Of course, the rewards for such a free mass task are definitely very average.
Each person can only get 300 points of Cao Jun's reputation and 5 taels of silver.
However, the additional reward is a wooden token called a wooden chip. Its purpose is to redeem war merit by giving you a fifteen-point discount for spending over one hundred points.
It is worth mentioning that this wooden chip is a team reward. After completing the task, the team can only get one, and it will be given to the leader by default.
Then Fang Linyan and the others went to the end of the village, where all the remaining villagers in Shangxi Village were gathered.
When Cao Cao's army had sufficient supplies, the military discipline was actually quite good. After all, Cao Cao himself was very good at governing. Zao Zhi, Han Hao and others were good at farming, not to mention that his subordinates Xun You, Xun Yu and others were also experts in internal affairs.
At this time, Cao Jun gathered the villagers together not for massacre, but for safety. After all, they were in enemy territory. If the villagers were allowed to wander around, it would be easy to leak the village's information firstly, and secondly, it would be easy for spies to take advantage of it to cause trouble.
Fang Linyan and others went there, of course, to verify Zhang Xu's statement and to determine the specific location of the treasure, so that they could be more targeted.
Going to inquire for information is of course Goat's specialty, and when paired with the silver he had previously obtained from Liu Feng's soldiers, it was of course even more powerful. The villagers who heard about it immediately knew everything.
At the same time, what the goat asked was trivial and confusing. If someone came over later and forced the villagers to recount the content of their inquiry, they might be led directly to this group of people who were frantically inquiring about the internal situation of Cao's army.
Fortunately, he is a traitor on Liu Bei's side, and he plans to cooperate inside and outside on this crooked path...
The process of leaving the village for the five people was not smooth. Because Cao Jun enforced the curfew at night, they encountered several patrol teams, but they were allowed to leave after a few questionings.
From the eyes of these guys watching the night, it can be seen that they don't like the contractors very much. After all, the contractors enter the world as gangsters, which is very different from the "good family" with an innocent family background.
After leaving Shangxi Village for almost a few hundred meters, the vulture suddenly frowned and without saying a word, he aimed a flare at the side and shouted:
"who is it?"
Under the light of the flare, three people slowly walked out from under the tree. A man with a figure like a bamboo pole walked out, and there were actually two porcupines following him at his feet!
It can be seen that these two porcupines looked at Rubes who was following Fang Linyan with some vigilance. Apparently they could feel Rubes' intimidation.
This guy looked at Crespo and said simply:
"Hey, BK, I wasn't assigned here at the time, so those bastards did some stupid things. I've taught them a lesson. Come back. We had a good time working together, didn't we?"
"BK?"
Fang Linyan read it twice with some confusion, and soon realized that this should be the English abbreviation of blood knight. Is this guy here for Crespo?
Fang Linyan and no one else wanted to get involved in this kind of matter, Crespo still had to handle it himself.
How could Crespo, who was already enjoying his time in the legendary team, be moved by a few words? He said firmly:
"Chess, I had a great time cooperating with you, but your teammates are all a bunch of bastards, and I felt very uncomfortable there, so thank you for your invitation, and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again in the future."
Keith frowned and said patiently:
"OH, don't be like this, my friend, do you know? We have now received a unique mission, which rewards a full 500 reputation points and a prop for each person! And the quality of the props is most likely to be Silver Story!"
After hearing that this guy actually used the reward of "most likely a silver plot" as a bargaining chip to poach people, both Vulture and Max couldn't help but laugh sarcastically and rolled their eyes.
These people are really too irrational. What can they use to seduce them? Mission rewards?
At this time, the legendary team has already obtained the item: Mermaid Tears, which is already at the legendary level, and will almost certainly trigger a mission with legendary level rewards!
Well, even if we put this aside, the Jiangxia topographic map they currently have is at the dark gold level. As long as someone turns it in, they can immediately get the dark gold level reward.
In this case, even if Crespo is a fool, he knows what to choose, right?
Sure enough, after hearing this, Crespo said categorically:
"Sorry, Chase, I'm very comfortable now and have no plans to leave."
There was a look of disappointment on Keith's face, but a guy next to him with a ponytail who looked a bit like Robert from KOF had already stood up, pointed here and said rudely:
"Hey, what are you two giggling about? Are you looking down on us?"
Before Vulture and Max spoke, Fang Linyan said simply:
"Yes, how do you know?"
The ponytail man immediately took a step forward, but was blocked by Keith:
"Donne, we are here to persuade people, not to take action."
Dorn pointed at Fang Linyan and stepped back.
Fang Linyan said calmly:
"Crespo has made it very clear that he will not leave. Do you still have something to do?"
Chase looked at Crespo and said:
"BK, if you change your mind, please contact me at any time."
Crespo nodded and said:
"OK."
***
Then the three people retreated into the darkness again, but Max sighed regretfully and said:
"I thought we were going to fight?"
Fang Linyan shook his head and said:
"Anyone with a little sense will not fight to the death in this early stage. There are only three of them. If they lose, they will definitely be defeated. Even if they win, they will definitely consume precious resources.
supply."
The goat then added:
"Not only that, although they don't understand our strength, they should be very clear about Crespo's strength, so they are not sure of winning. After taking action, they completely cut off his chance to return to the team, so of course
I won’t fight if I can help it.”
The next group of people set off on the road again, their destination was Laolu Gang, six kilometers away from here. According to the villagers' information, that's where the strange sign appeared.
It is said that a thousand-year-old tree there has been chopped into pieces. At night, you can hear faint cries coming from the center of the tree, which is very scary. In addition, there is a mass grave there, so many ghost legends have been added.
came out, so these villagers felt even more frightened when they told the story.
In addition, word of mouth often adds subjective judgments, and there must be a lot of inaccurate, false and fabricated information.
Therefore, according to Fang Linyan's judgment and the world's background, the thunderstorm and loud noises that night were probably not natural phenomena, nor were they signs of the birth of the so-called treasure.
In this world, there are Taoism and sects. Most of them were caused by the battles in that area by real people such as Nanhua Laoxian, Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, Master Zixu! The last party was defeated and fled, and their treasures were lost.
, or it is very possible to find a place to hide things.
The group of people soon arrived at Laolu Gang, but from the field of view of "Ao's Ember", they could see that seven people had already arrived here. Not only that, they were cutting down the ancient tree that was struck by lightning.
And they are still excavating soil and destroying the site.
Obviously, Fang Linyan and the others are not the only ones who have the ability to dig out this secret, but others can too.
Moreover, these bastards obviously have bad intentions. Their intention is to follow their own path and leave others with nowhere to go.
