C257 A Street for Mercenaries
Water splashed everywhere, Drops of water fell on the transparent veil. Consort De's perfect figure was instantly seen.
"Your Ladyship!"
Lee Mooh was so scared that he hurriedly kowtowed and did not even dare to raise his head, profaning his Ladyship. If the Emperor found out about him, he was afraid that he would be punished with a thousand cuts.
"Why don't you dare to raise your head to look at me?" Consort De's voice echoed in his ears. Her voice carried extreme temptation. Lee Mooh felt as if his entire body was wrapped up when he heard it.
The blood and qi around his body surged, and a wave of heat wave assaulted his body.
Consort De walked out from behind the veil. Her tender white skin flickered with these droplets of water, as if crystals were inlaid on flawless jade.
Consort De walked step by step to Lee Mooh.
From Lee Mooh's field of vision, he could only see Consort De's two smooth jade feet. They were as white as lotus roots. Her toes were round and round, like pearls.
Water flowed along her feet and onto the floor, dripping onto Lee Mooh's body.
"Lee Mooh, raise your head!"
"I dare not. Your Ladyship's precious body, I dare not raise my head." Lee Mooh's body began to tremble. Consort De approached him, as if death was pressing on her.
"What a coward! Then, half a year ago, I went to Phoenix Mountain to spy on Bengong in the back mountain. Who is the person who is spying on Bengong?" When Consort De asked this question, Lee Mooh's body trembled even more.
"I will die ten thousand times!"
Lee Mooh's head was carved on the ground. Half a year ago, he had received consorts and went to the Feng Lin Nunnery. When he passed by Luan Feng Mountain, he heard that there was a natural hot spring in the mountain. He wanted to soak in the hot spring to relieve his fatigue. That was why Lee Mooh had unintentionally seen Consort De when he was patrolling the surroundings. Initially, he thought that no one knew but he did not expect Consort De to discover him.
"Raise your head!"
Consort De slowly said, "Raise your head!
Lee Mooh slowly looked up at Consort De. She was really beautiful. It was the charm of a mature woman. Consort De looked down at Lee Mooh.
"Am I beautiful?"
"Pretty!"
Lee Mooh nodded.
"Lee Mooh, do you know why Bengong asked you to come here?" Consort De asked Lee Mooh. Lee Mooh shook his head. He really did not understand, but he always felt that there was nothing good about it.
"If you promise Bengong one thing, Bengong will be yours today. I can say a few good words for you next to His Majesty. How about it?" Consort De said with a smile.
Lee Mooh looked at Consort De.
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Ladyship!" Lee Mooh slowly stood up.
Xiao Chen sat in the room. The food was naturally delivered by the Imperial Kitchen of the Imperial Palace. They were all top-grade dishes. These dishes were very difficult to eat outside.
"Young Master, let me toast to you!" Ye Hanluo raised her wine glass and said.
"Okay!" Xiao Chen was also straightforward.
After dinner, Ye Hanluo brought Xiao Chen to the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden was very big, at least the size of a sect's territory. It had everything in it.
Hundred flowers bloomed and hundreds of birds flew around. It was lush and lush. It was a peaceful place.
"This is the Imperial Garden of Shenglan Ancient Country. Passing through the Imperial Garden, to the east is the Royal Hunting Ground. To the north is the Martial Arts Practice Field. The geniuses and experts of Shenglan Ancient Country are gathered there. Where are they sparring and discussing?" Ye Hanluo gave Xiao Chen a very detailed introduction.
"Young master, let's go to the hunting grounds and take a look! I heard that in the Shenglan Ancient Country's hunting grounds, countless rare demonic beasts are reared. Rumor has it that someone has seen ancient ferocious beasts in the hunting grounds." Liang Yiyi revealed a very interested expression and said. The Royal Hunting Ground was not only a hunting ground, it also had many precious medicinal herbs planted in it.
"There are ancient ferocious beasts?" Xiao Chen looked at Ye Hanluo.
Ye Hanluo smiled. "I don't know about that either, but I have read about it in the history books of Shenglan Ancient Country. There are ancient ferocious beasts, but no one has ever encountered them." Ye Hanluo said with a smile.
"In that case, let's go in and take a look." Xiao Chen said.
After passing through the Imperial Garden, a huge iron gate appeared in front of them. The iron gate was 30 feet tall and 200 feet wide. Below the iron gate, there was a small door. Many people came in and out of the small door.
"Since there is a small door, why does it need to be a big door?" Liang Yiyi did not understand.
This was clearly a superfluous action. Seeing that the top of the door was slightly rusty, One look and one could tell that it was not used.
"The small door is usually prepared for entry and exit. The door is opened when the Emperor is hunting. We can't let the Emperor enter through this small door, right?" Ye Hanluo said. Although this method was somewhat secular and made people feel that they were superior, there was no other way. This was the dynasty. The dignity of an Emperor's family could not be blasphemed.
The emperor was above everything, and the emperor was the symbol of power.
When they arrived at the door, Ye Hanluo took out a token. Xiao Chen and the others walked in from the small door. After they entered, there was not a huge forest in front of them. There was actually a very busy street.
"What is this place?" Liang Yiyi pointed and asked.
"This is a place for mercenaries to do business. They are all experts of Shenglan Ancient Country. They can accept missions here. For example, if you want to go in and hunt, you can choose from here if you don't have enough manpower. As long as you pay enough commission, they can accompany you into the forest and help you hunt!"
Ye Hanluo explained to Liang Yiyi.
"There is such a thing. Isn't this the Royal Hunting Ground?" Liang Yiyi asked. This Royal Hunting Ground was actually open to outsiders.
"It is the Royal Hunting Ground, but it is a name. It's actually a huge Hunting Ground controlled by the Imperial Court. Entering the Hunting Ground requires payment, while the Imperial Court is gaining benefits." Ye Hanluo said, and to put it bluntly, this was a hunting ground opened by the Imperial Court, a place for entertainment.
"You're really smart!" Liang Yiyi gave a thumbs up.
"Do the four of you need bodyguards? Do you need mercenaries? Do you need any service?" The four of them did not walk far. Before they got close to the street, a man rushed to Xiao Chen and the other three. He handed the leaflet to the four of them, one for each of them.
"Ace mercenary group?" Liang Yiyi looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. This name was too arrogant. Ace mercenary group was a bit exaggerated.
"Of course it's the ace. We are honest with the ladies. The Ace mercenary group's reputation is guaranteed. We never lie. Our mercenary group has a total of 456 missions. Perfect success does not hurt one person. 452 times. This kind of safety rate is unique."
This person explained to Xiao Chen and the other three.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey. Don't lie to us. We have a guarantee of our reputation. The Nine-Ring mercenary group and the old mercenary group will be charged after we serve them. " We never cheat customers of any money. How about it? " A person walked up and said.
This ace mercenary group member immediately had an unfriendly expression.
"Don't you know what it means to come first? Don't you see that these four are my guests now? " It's a shameful act in our industry to pick up the bill. " The man said coldly.
"What do you mean by picking a single? Did they agree? As long as they didn't agree, then... Do you know that this is called a fair competition? Did you tell them the strength of your ace mercenary group? The strongest is only at the Dao Sect level, right? Can you guarantee their safety after entering the forest?" The person who pointed at this person was the person who was spouting nonsense. He was speechless.
"Bullsh * t, you speak as if you have someone stronger than the Dao Sect!"
"We do not, but our Dao Sect has five people, and you only have three. If I remember correctly, the three of them have a mission, and their clones are lacking!" The person said.
Xiao Chen shook his head. Thinking about it now, the two of them were very shameless. They disrespected each other for the sake of their clients. They ridiculed each other and ridiculed each other.
"Young master, let's go to the front and take a look!" Ye Hanluo said with a smile.
The two of them were probably going to fight today. Even if everyone in the world needed mercenaries, Xiao Chen probably did not need them. Yang Loong, Yang Hu, and Yang Wen were all defeated by Xiao Chen. There was nothing in this hunting ground that could threaten Xiao Chen's life.
Therefore, Xiao Chen didn't need any mercenaries at all.
"Don't you want to think about it?" The two of them asked anxiously when they heard Ye Hanluo wanted to go to the front to take a look. As long as they accepted this deal, they would earn a lot of money. The mercenary group would also get a commission.2
"No need," Ye Hanluo said. I'm not in a hurry right now. Wait until we really need to come and find you guys again!" Liang Yiyi said with a smile. These two people's eyesight was also terrible.
Arriving at the street, The two sides of the street were basically filled with pills, treasures, and mercenary shops. There were no restaurants, brothels, tea houses, and other places for entertainment and leisure.
"Young Master, should we buy some pills to protect ourselves?" Liang Yiyi playfully asked. Liang Yiyi was not really worried about poison or injuries, but she felt a little embarrassed to leave empty-handed.
"In that case, let's prepare something!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
They arrived in front of a stall. It was a small stall. He placed a huge piece of cloth on the ground and placed some pills and treasures on it. Some things were rusted and some were damaged. It looked like a place to buy antiques.
"Young Master, these things are all somewhat damaged!" Liang Yiyi asked.
"Young lady, we can't compare to any shops in the capital. They are all top quality goods. Some of our things are taken out from the ground and some were picked up from the ruins. I don't know what they are used for."
The stall owner said with a smile.
"Then isn't this cheating?" Liang Yiyi asked. She did not even know what kind of thing she bought and dared to sell it to others. This was really cheating people.
"Of course not. There are some things that we know about. For example, this Poison Avoidance Pill, this Blood Stop Powder and this Clear Spirit Pill." The man pointed at some of the pills on the stall and said. Xiao Chen nodded slowly as well. This man was right, but these pills had the effect that this man had mentioned.
"As for these defective pills, they are just for show!" The man said with an awkward smile.
"Buy some medicinal pills!" Xiao Chen pointed at the pills on the stall and said.
"Okay, what do you want? As long as it reaches 100 medicinal Spirit Stones, I still have a discount here! You can even randomly choose the things on this stall." The boss said excitedly. He had already opened his shop here for half a year and had not completed any business. If this continued, he would not be able to afford the rent of this stall.
