The winter sunshine carries a soft warmth, slowly transmitting through the leaves. The sunlight shines in the courtyard and through the windows, giving people an extraordinarily warm feeling.
It has been three months since Murong Yi started wandering around. Fortunately, he joined a small mercenary group to hone himself during these three months.
It is still winter, and the whole earth is covered with snow. Except for a few cold-resistant plants, all other plants in the forest have lost their leaves, waiting for the arrival of spring.
This is the North Country, and the winters are relatively cold and long. In winter, few people go out hunting, and the mercenary group that Murong Yi belongs to has always been in a state of having nothing to do.
"I don't know what Brother Long thinks. This guy is just a wild boy. Brother Long actually let him join our mercenary group. Fortunately, he is quite diligent, otherwise he would really be a waste!
"A bald man thought about it over and over, but still felt a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart. This was not the first time he had said this.
"This is Brother Long's decision, so don't say too much. If Brother Long hears it, Brother Long will punish you again! Don't always be like this, Brother Long doesn't know how many times he has told you.
You should change it in the future!"
"Yes, that's right. Baldhead, you're so mean-mouthed that Brother Long accepted you. I don't think there's anything wrong with that young man. Look at others, and then look at yourself, why are you talking about him?
"
"Hey, hey, why are you all turning your elbows outwards? We are all brothers who live and die together. If you do this, I will be angry!"
The bald man touched his shiny head. He looked at the group of people in front of him with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Haha, I'm so anxious when I'm bald. They're really right. It'll be great when you can settle down!" The only person sitting there quietly reading a book suddenly raised his head and said.
"You idiot Kong Er, go ahead and read your book! I can still accept it when they say it, so why are you accusing me now? No, you must give me an explanation today to comfort my young heart!"
The bald man's casual words actually aroused public outrage. At the moment, he could only change the topic, hoping that they would stop focusing on this matter.
"Forget it, forget it, don't make fun of him all the time. This guy is just like that, he talks bad words and doesn't do anything." Kong Wenwen shook his head, and then turned his attention to his books.
"Who do you think that kid is from? He has thin arms and legs. I'm afraid a person like this can't stand a punch from an old cow! I can beat a person like this!"
As soon as the bald man sat down, he couldn't control his mouth again and started talking nonsense to the people around him. But because of the incident just now, his voice was obviously lowered a lot.
"Bang!"
The door was opened instantly, and a relatively thick man walked in.
"Where is the leader? Is he here? I have something to ask him!"
This man's surname was Ding Mingyao, and he was one of the rare strong men in this mercenary group. In front of him, the bald man would not dare to say a word no matter how mean-spirited he was.
"The captain is inside the house. Where is the little brother who just came? If you need anything, go in and find him."
Kong Wenwen put down the book in his hand and said.
Although this mercenary group is small and doesn't have many people, it still has a full range of duties.
The man called Brother Long is the leader of the mercenary group and the strongest one. The second is Ding Yao, who is slightly less powerful, and is the deputy leader of the mercenary group.
Then there is Kong Wenwen, he is the think tank of the group and the third in command of the mercenary group.
There were many situations when Hu Long was unable to make a decision, so he basically followed his orders.
"Um"
Ding Yao never talked much, so after learning the position of the group leader, he walked over directly.
Inside the house is a small courtyard, which is filled with heavy snow. No one cleans it. This is their intention.
In the heavy snow, two figures are sitting here.
"What? I have a mission?" Hu Long sat on the snow, wearing a few thin clothes. As he moved his skills, all the snowflakes within a few meters around him disappeared without a trace.
Murong Yi was just like him, also wearing very little clothing and sitting on the snow.
"There is a mission, and it's a big mission. I don't know if our mercenary group can handle this, so it's up to you to decide on this matter."
Ding Yao's eyes kept falling on Murong Yi. Just from the fact that Murong Yi practiced like this with Hu Long in the cold weather, he could tell that he was unusual.
"This is a good seedling. If he hadn't been discovered relatively late. Otherwise, his strength might have surpassed you and me."
Obviously, Hu Long also noticed Ding Yao's gaze. He looked at Murong Yi's motionless figure, his face full of relief.
"Captain, your vision is still so vicious. It was the same when you met me before. Even though so many people disagreed, you still accepted me in the end. It's like this again now. It seems that my choice is still the right one.
."
"Let's talk about the mission first. I think it's really important and they will come to compete for it, right?"
Hu Long was not originally the leader of the mercenary group, he was the deputy leader of another mercenary group.
Many years ago, he met Ding Yao. At that time, Ding Yao was just a young boy. At that time, everyone did not agree with Ding Yao joining the mercenary group.
Out of helplessness, Hu Long had no choice but to leave the mercenary group. He took Ding Yao with him to make a living. In the end, when he was desperate, he returned to his old profession.
The Hu Long Mercenary Group has been established since then, and after so many years, it has become somewhat famous.
Over the past few years, they have been developing rapidly. Gradually, Hu Long's mercenary group and the original mercenary group that Hu Long belonged to became one of the two strongest mercenary groups in this place.
"What we received this time was a treasure transport mission, and the only one that can compete with us is the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group."
There was a somewhat unnatural look on Ding Yao's face. Ever since Hu Long left the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group that day, they had never interacted with each other like this. They didn't know whether it was good or bad for them to meet again this time.
bad.
"This mission seems to be very important. The client seems to want our two mercenary groups to complete this mission together. And on this basis, the reward he gave us has not been reduced at all!"
"Oh? What kind of mission is it? I have seen a lot of transporting things, but this is the first time I have been exposed to two mercenary groups helping to transport things at the same time."
When Hu Long heard that he was going to compete with the Dragon and Tiger Mercenary Group, he had already given up on this mission. But then he heard what Ding Yao said, and he suddenly became more interested.
"Get ready. We will gather everyone together to discuss it later. We must prepare carefully this time. If there is such an opportunity, we will definitely not miss it." Hu Long stood up from the ground carefully and quietly
He looked at Murong Yi beside him and then walked out.
"Brother Long, what's the matter?" When the bald man saw Hu Long's arrival, he stood up immediately.
"Everyone, sit down and let's discuss something. Ding Yao has encountered a relatively big task this time. Let's discuss it and see if we can accept this task."
Hu Long put his hand on the bald head and pressed him down.
"You are all old people who have been with me for a long time, especially you, Kong Wenwen, you must give me some opinions on this matter."
"Although this mission is just a transportation mission on the surface, it is a transportation across national borders. I have already understood that there are entry and exit regulations, and basically I have not discovered any suspicious points. If it is really just a small
There is absolutely no need for him to give such a high reward for the mission, and at the same time, he also asked our two strongest mercenary groups to help escort it. It is impossible to say that there is no trick."
"But then again, there is no reason for us not to accept such a high salary. One hundred thousand gold coins, this is enough for our mercenary group for a year! If we have this money, our equipment and so on
They can all go up a notch!"
Hu Long stopped here and looked at Kong Wenwen on the side, as if waiting for his opinion.
"Actually, I think this mission can be accepted, but there is one thing, it is better to be careful!"
"I have already seen it. Based on our itinerary, there are only two ways to reach Xuantian Dynasty within a certain period of time. One is the Xuanhuang Forest. If we go this way, we must take
You can’t go there. Based on the number of monsters there, even if there are ten mercenary groups like ours, they will definitely die! So we won’t consider this.”
"The other road passes through the Star Dou Grassland. The only monsters here are wolves. In terms of quantity and quality, this is our only chance. Moreover, it is winter, and the combat effectiveness of the wolves will be reduced to a certain extent.
It has been affected to some extent. Everyone should prepare more meat in the space ring. If you really encounter a small group of wolves, give the meat to them to avoid contact as much as possible."
Kong Wenwen analyzed it, and Hu Long's affirmation soon came to him after he said this.
"By the way, Captain, what should we do with that guy? Keep him here or take him with us?" When the bald man saw that there was a mission, he immediately became interested. He looked at Hu Long, looking forward to him taking Murong Yi.
Throw it away.
"This time it may be what you think. He is still a child, so don't bring him with you for such a thing. We can come back after the mission is completed. Let's explain to him then."
"Everyone, get ready. Let your brothers prepare everything they need to prepare. We will set off the day after tomorrow!"
"Captain, I think you should take me with you." Just as they were about to leave, a small voice suddenly said.
