Chapter 110 The Way to Spend Money
The Blackfire Mercenary Regiment is in a small town north of Linhei City. That town is the barracks, rooms and arsenals of the Blackfire Mercenary Regiment. Almost all the people in this town are related to the Black Fire Mercenary Regiment, or the family members of the mercenary, or mercenaries, or come to do business with the Black Fire Mercenary Regiment. This was a wasteland twenty years ago, but it has developed since the Blackfire Mercenary Corps decided to build a camp here. So, until now, this town has no name.
Before Keqing died, he was deeply valued by the head of the Black Bar, and deliberately cultivated him to become the next leader of the Black Fire Mercenary Regiment. However, the boy seems to be a little too anxious. In its heyday, the Black Bar Mercenary Regiment had 800 elite mercenaries. At this scale, it was indeed the largest mercenary regiment in Linhei City and surrounding areas. But after a hundred birds rushing and a war with the Red Beard Gang, there are only about 300 people left.
However, even if it has suffered such an unprecedented heavy damage, the foundation of the Blackfire Mercenary Regiment is still there. The streets, heaven and earth and some mines controlled by the Blackfire Mercenary Regiment are still operating and generate profits. As long as these things are there, it is not impossible to return to the heyday. If you have money, you can buy everything. This sentence is actually a truth in the world of mercenaries.
"Even if a street is given to the doctor who heals the head of the Heiba Regiment as a reward, the Black Fire Mercenary Regiment still controls six streets in Linhei City. Mustard Green's betrayal was a great blow to the Black Fire Mercenary Regiment, so this time they were really in a very dangerous period, so they were willing to pay such a heavy medical fee and offer a reward for the head of the Heiba Regiment. The outline of the town could be seen from the window of the car. Lan Qingyi said indifferently and told the three people more about the Black Fire Mercenary Regiment.
"So, what kind of disease does the head of Heiba have?" Hundreds of birds asked strangely.
"I checked it for a few days, but I didn't find it. Those doctors who have diagnosed the head of Heiba either keep their mouths shut or don't know anything. I can't see the head of Heiba with my own eyes, so I still need to see the head of the Heiba in person to confirm this matter. Jin Linger said so.
Bai Niao Chong thought secretly in his heart: "The head of the Black Bar is a Tianwu in the beginning of the Tianzun realm. He is only two small realm levels of low yuan Ba Tian, and he is already a real strong man. How can such a person get sick? Moreover, even if he is sick, he can easily get rid of it with his innate power. How can this happen?
Tianwu practitioners practice the innate power on the basis of absorbing the innate aura between heaven and earth. Under this practice, the body will become strong, and the physique will be purified and strengthened, far more than ordinary people. Moreover, even if it is poisoned, or if it is invaded by cold air or something, it can be driven out of the body by using innate power. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, Tianwu who master the innate power will hardly get sick. Even if there is a disease, unless it is Yuan Ziyan's strange terminal disease or something, that kind of disease will make Tianwu people unable to heal themselves. So, what kind of situation does the head of Heiba belong to?
I didn't see the head of Heiba in person, and all the speculations can't be confirmed.
The carriage slowed down and stopped before it came to the gate. It's not so much a small town as a small town. The town is not big, but there is a three-foot-high stone wall around it. Arrow towers are built at each corner, and stone piles are also built on the stone wall that are similar to avoiding arrows. From afar, you can see mercenaries patrolling on the stone wall, which is heavily guarded.
There were also about a dozen mercenaries guarding at the gate of the town. Looking at Lan Qingyi and others getting off the carriage, a middle-aged man came up and said loudly, "What are you doing?"
Lan Qingyi saw a slight salute and answered crisply, "We are from the Baihua Medical Center in Linhei City. We know about the reward of your mercenary regiment, so we are here."
"Baihua Medical Center?" The middle-aged man showed a look of reminiscence and immediately said disdainfully, "I've been in Linhei City for so many years, and I've never heard of any Baihua Medical Center. I'm afraid it's an unknown small hospital, right? Don't think that if there is a reward, you can fish in the muddy water. How noble is our regimental commander's body? How can you little doctors see it?
I didn't expect this to happen. Lan Qingyi's face suddenly became a little difficult to look at. In those years, when Baicaomen was in its heyday, even the princes and nobles wanted to see a doctor, so they had to see whether Baicaomen was inconvenient and unhappy. In front of him, he was so sneerised by a mercenary.
Bainiao Chong was very calm, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his face. His tone also seemed to be very polite. "This big brother, fame does not represent strength. Otherwise, there are so many famous doctors in Linhei City. The big medical center came to treat the head of the Heiba, and it was cured. How could we come here?"
The middle-aged mercenary looked like a hundred birds rushed, and his tone was still very rude. "If everyone puts it in, isn't it a mess here?" Go back, go back. You can't make this kind of hustle and bustle.
"You... We took the list of the reward, didn't we say that as long as we reveal the list of the reward, we can go in and treat the head of Heiba?" Jin Linger said angrily. She has made full preparations for this matter in the past few days. The conditions for entering the Black Fire Mercenary Regiment are also clear. Unexpectedly, she is about to enter, but she is stopped by a small mercenary. No matter how good-tempered people are, they will get angry in the face of such things.
"Huh! That's all I've said. You go back." The middle-aged mercenary snorted coldly and turned around to leave.
Nancy's hands have been pressed on the handle of the knife. She is not a good-tempered person. The rudeness and contempt of this middle-aged mercenary have made her very unhappy. One thing she wants to do most when she is unhappy is to kill.
Bai Niao Chong pulled down her hands, and then chased her two steps forward and said to the middle-aged mercenary, "This big brother, talk here."
The middle-aged mercenary looked at the hundred birds and said angrily, "What do you want to say? We have nothing to say."
Hundreds of birds smiled faintly, "Of course..." Without saying anything, he patted his waistband gently.
The middle-aged mercenary suddenly became satisfactory, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, "What do you want to say, come and say it."
The two walked a few steps side by side. Bai Niao rushed out two gold coins from their pockets and secretly stuffed them into the middle-aged mercenary. That's what he wants to say. Sometimes, spending money can solve many problems and achieve the goal, but making things worse. Buying people with money is also a knowledge. He is going to learn it now. In fact, in his bones, he and Nancy feel the same. He hates the face of this middle-aged mercenary and wants to beat him up.
After receiving the money from Bai Niao Chong, the middle-aged mercenary suddenly changed his attitude and sent everyone into the door with a smile. Along the way, he also told a lot of things and revealed some inside stories.
Ma Shi returned first according to Lan Qingyi's instructions.
Entering the town, Jin Linger said unwillingly, "Why did you give him money?" I won't give this kind of villain to him.
Hundreds of birds laughed and said, "Didn't we come in? Sometimes money works better than fists. Mercenaries are all profit-oriented people. Give them some money, and they will work hard for you, not to mention such a simple thing.
"I didn't expect you to see the nature of the mercenary so thoroughly." Lan Qingyi's eyes were a little approving.
The five people talked about walking and walked to the headquarters of the Black Fire Mercenary Regiment. I met many mercenaries along the way, and some of them would cast curious eyes. Some even whistled twice indewdly. Bai Niao was very clear that those whistles and lustful eyes were almost aimed at the four women around him. Lan Qingyi, Meng Zhi, Jin Linger and Nancy are all like flowers, each with their own beauty. No matter what occasion they walk on, they are eye-catching. And even the extremely evil ghost refiner can't kill people just because other men look at the women around them a few times, right?
Bainiao Chong can't do that kind of thing.
However, there were also some female mercenaries who looked at him with lustful eyes, which surprised him. Those female mercenaries have a relatively bold personality, their clothes are more exposed, and their eyes are also very direct. When they saw such a kind teenager as Bai Niao Chong, who looked like a scholar, they couldn't help but appreciate it or even provoke him or something.
Bai Niao Chong felt that as long as he wanted, most of the female mercenaries here would take him to a quiet room, full of indulgence.
In addition to mercenaries, there are also shops that run all kinds of businesses in this iron barrel-like town, some selling clothes and armor, some selling wine and meat, some selling rice, noodles, grain and oil, and even those selling youth skins. These merchants are everywhere, doing mercenary business on the territory controlled by mercenaries. Those prostitutes also come from all over the world to meet the physiological needs of mercenaries, and their business seems to be very good.
At a glance, it gives the impression that the number of Black Fire Mercenary Regiment is not large, but everyone here is more or less related to the mercenaries. The mercenaries of the Blackfire mercenary regiment can't live without them, and they also survive on the business of mercenaries.
"The population of this town should be about 5,000, and the mercenaries occupy one-tenth. Even if the families of the mercenaries account for another 1,500, there are about 3,000 outsiders. I haven't seen this model before. But the advantage that can be seen is that as long as the Black Fire Mercenary Corps is not extinguished, some of the mercenaries will die in the battle, and the Black Fire Mercenary Corps can quickly recruit new personnel. Another advantage is that even if there are foreign enemies to attack, these people who rely on mercenaries to survive will join the defense, because once the mercenary regiment is destroyed, it will be difficult for them to survive... From this point of view, the head of the Heiba regiment is a very smart person. Hundreds of birds thought secretly in their hearts.
Now it seems that neither the death of Mustard Green nor the defeat of the Red Beard Bandits can destroy the Black Fire Mercenary Regiment. As long as the head of the Black Bar Regiment is still there, the Black Fire Mercenary Regiment can recover quickly. It is no wonder that the Black Fire Mercenary Corps will open a street as a medical fund to treat the disease of the head of the Black Bar.
"Hum..." As he was walking, Mengzhi suddenly stopped, "Is there any store selling this kind of goods here?"
Hundreds of birds rushed up and were stunned. In the shop that Mengzhi saw, there was an antique plaque, on which there were five golden lacquer characters "Xu Ji Treasure Map".
Yes, there are still people selling this kind of thing. Does anyone believe it?
