The Chosen Game

Chapter 81 The Hammer Mercenary Group

Liao, the head of the mercenary team, immediately greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Mrs. Kesumari, you are here."

"Yes." Mrs. Kesumari nodded her head reservedly, and ordered to the servant behind her: "Bring Captain Leo's reward here."

Behind her, the maid came up and handed a slightly puffed coarse cloth bag to Leo, saying: "Captain Leo, this is your reward, a total of 103 silver coins, this is what Madam discussed with you in advance." Yes, I will pay you half of the reward in advance, and the other half will be paid to you after arriving in Yanlin Town according to the agreement."

"Captain Lio, you can count the silver coins inside." Mrs. Kesumari said.

Leo smiled, and called the deputy head of the hammer mercenary group, the strong white man who knocked on the door one by one.

In front of Mrs. Kesumari, the two opened the coarse cloth bag containing the silver coins and began counting the silver coins inside one by one.

Mrs. Kesumari had a displeased expression on her face when she saw this.

Xin You stared at the silver coins shining with silver light under the rising sun, showing a thoughtful expression.

Soon after the counting of the silver coins was completed, Leo put the silver coins back into the cloth bag and stuffed them into his underwear pocket. He turned to Mrs. Kesumari and smiled, "I kept you waiting, let's start our journey now."

crunch...

Four carriages were driving on the uneven road. Mrs. Kesumari, her daughter, and her two maids sat in the front carriage, while four male servants were in charge of driving the four carriages. Including Xin You, the mercenaries held their own weapons and scattered around the four carriages, responsible for protecting the safety of Mrs. Kesumari's master and servants.

The carriage in front was alright, but the three carriages behind should be carrying quite heavy things, and the wheels of the carriage creaked non-stop when they turned.

The mercenaries all looked very relaxed, chatting loudly as they walked, and laughed a few times when they were proud of the chat, Xin You walked in the middle of the team, but seemed very silent, he did not participate in the Those mercenaries were talking, but kept looking around with vigilant eyes.

Along the way, he would bend down from time to time to pick up some regular-shaped stones on the road and put them in his pocket.

He is good at throwing, since he has no throwing weapons on him now, it is better to pick up some stones as a 'hidden weapon reserve' than nothing at all.

His move was seen by other mercenaries, which provoked a burst of ridicule from these mercenaries. For this, Xin You did not have any excuses, and still went his own way.

The mercenaries seemed very relaxed, that's because they felt that it was almost impossible to encounter danger in such a simple escort mission.

Xin You had a feeling that in this Heavenly Dao mission, it was impossible for Heavenly Dao to allow people like them to easily reach Yanlin Town.

The danger is [-]% there, but I don't know when it will appear.

The whole morning passed without any surprise or danger.

At noon, the team rested in the woods beside the horse trail.

Lunch is still black bread, Xin You finished his piece of black bread, after thinking about it, he still walked up to the mercenary leader Leo: "Captain, I think we should be more careful. It might be dangerous."

He felt that it was necessary for him to remind the leader with a beard.

His reminder provoked loud laughter from the surrounding mercenaries.

"Xin You, you are so timid, I don't think you are suitable to be a mercenary, a groom on a farm is more suitable for you!"

"That's right, a small guy like you, and such a coward, is really not suitable to be a mercenary. I don't know if the regiment leader was drinking too much horse urine at that time, so he recruited you in."

"Okay, stop booing!" Leo yelled at the top of his voice, "Although Xin You is a newcomer, I personally recruited him into the mercenary regiment. Once he joins the regiment, he is a brother. Stop making fun of him!"

Li Ao's words were still somewhat intimidating, and the mercenaries stopped booing. Li Ao stood up, patted Xin You on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xin You, it's good to be careful, but there is no need to be too careful. Be careful, this kind of escort mission is not the kind of exploration and assassination mission. Our mercenary group takes dozens of such missions every year, and we have traveled this road no less than ten times. Don't worry, there will be no danger. "

Xin You was a little helpless, he didn't have much talent in language, seeing that his reminder this time not only had no effect, but provoked a burst of ridicule, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade.

He asked for a topographic map of the surrounding area from the head of the team, Leo, and squatted in a corner by himself, carefully studying the animal skin map.

According to the description on the map, combined with the speed of their journey in the morning, it will take about 3 days to reach the end of the trip, Yanlin Town.

During these three days, they need to pass through 5 rivers, 2 plains, 1 rugged mountain forest, and 3 relatively flat forests.

The day passed quickly, and at night, the team rested in the woods by the river bank.

After sitting in the carriage all day, Mrs. Kesumari, who had never shown her face, got out of the carriage with the help of a maid. After the servants settled the carriage and fed the four horses, Start the fire and prepare dinner.

Madam Kesumari is an aristocrat, so she naturally wouldn't eat those rough black breads. Her food is much finer.

The little girl also got out of the carriage, and before the food was cooked, she followed a maid and curiously walked to the bonfire where the mercenaries were.

The head of the group, Leo, greeted the little girl politely: "Miss Staffin."

The other mercenaries were grilling the fire while nibbling on the black bread, just looking at the girl without saying a word.

The little girl gave Leo a sweet smile as a return of the gift, and then she stared at her watery blue eyes, looking here and there.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on Xin You who was sitting in a dark corner in the forest. She walked towards Xin You out of curiosity, and behind her, the maid followed nervously.

"Uncle, what are you doing sitting here?" The little girl walked up to Xin You, blinked her big blue eyes, and asked curiously, "Why don't you sit with those uncles?"

It was the first time that a strange little girl called him uncle, and Xin You was somewhat uncomfortable. He forced a smile at the little girl: "Because I like to be quiet, so I just sit here by myself."

"Oh." The little girl nodded politely, and after tilting her head to look at Xin You for a while, she asked curiously, "Uncle, why do you look different from those uncles? Your eyes, nose, and hair are all different. The same, the color of the skin is also different..."

　Thanks Hahaha, Uncle Psy for updating and rewarding.
