[Red packets, red packets ~ Also, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Welcome to the group 249085350. There will be a red packet snatching event in the group tomorrow night! Old Chen will accompany everyone for the New Year!]
Lick was silent.
Reggie took a sip of ale and spat out the smell of alcohol from his mouth. "Let me say it, Fares. Otherwise, this idiot won't be enlightened." Reggie glared at Lick and said, "It's because of you, you drunkard. We all told you to give up this bad habit. Even if you can't, it's good to restrain yourself. You, on the other hand, used alcohol to cripple the son of the deputy leader of the Netherworld King Mercenary Group. Don't you know that the Netherworld King is one of the three great mercenary groups in Satin City? Is it something that our Bing Yue can afford to offend? "
"In order to settle this matter for you, Fares used up all the favors he had accumulated over the years and even lost a large sum of money to get them to stop pursuing it. What about you? You were still sleeping when Fares ran for you! "
Fares waved his hand, signaling for Reggie to stop talking. He said to Lick, "No matter what, Bing Yue was built by the three of us." You are all my best brothers. Not to mention just using some affection and money, even if I lose the entire mercenary group, I won't let anything happen to any of you. However, after that incident, we won't be able to survive in Satin City. On the surface, the Netherworld King said that he would no longer pursue the matter, but if he offended them, how could any business fall on our heads? However, trees move to death, people move to life. If we can't survive in Satin City, we'll just move somewhere else. "
The Guild Leader smiled and said, "And this is an opportunity. Iron Spear Ridge's son is getting married." We were lucky enough to hunt ice fangs that didn't appear in the late winter in the Land of Darkness. This was half sold and half given to Marquis Hoey as a congratulatory gift for his son's wedding. "We should also take this opportunity to build a good relationship with this Marquis, so that we can take root in Iron Spear Ridge."
Fares patted his chest and said, "I don't dare to say anything else, but there aren't many mercenary groups in Iron Spear Ridge that can compare to our Bing Yue. Brothers, life is full of ups and downs. It doesn't matter if we fall down, the most important thing is to have the courage to stand up again. With the two of you here, our Frozen Moon Mercenary Group will have the time to make a comeback. "
Lick suddenly growled and drank the rest of the wine. With red eyes, he said, "If I touch a drop of wine in the future, Fares, you will chop off my head. Reggie will be the witness."
Rui Jie narrowed his eyes and said, "Very well. If Fares isn't willing to do it, I'm happy to do it in his place."
Lick laughed and pointed at him. "I'll wait for you, but I'm afraid you won't have that chance."
Fares smiled and shook his head. He knew that Rui Jie was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. His mouth was a little venomous, but his affection for Lick was no less than his own. However, today's conversation was a good thing for Lick and the mercenary corps. As he relaxed, he drank a little too much wine. After a few cups, Fares's eyes were already a little unfocused. Rui Jie put down the wine money and said to Lick, "Send him back to his room. I'll go to the warehouse and take a look."
Lick answered and walked towards the gate with Fares on his back. At this moment, the door opened and a chill poured in, causing the temperature in the bar to plummet. A man came in from outside the door, wearing a snow-blocking coat. He took off a snow-stained felt hat, revealing a thin and experienced face. It turned out to be an old man, but he didn't give off the feeling of being old. Even though he was old, his back was still ramrod straight, and his vital energy surged rapidly like a sharp spear.
Lick took two steps back and made way for the old man. It wasn't until the old man passed by with a chill that the burly man came back to his senses. He didn't know why he took the initiative to make way for an old man. At this moment, Rui Jie patted him and whispered, "He doesn't look like an ordinary person. Don't pay too much attention to him. Let's get out of here first."
After the three of them left, the old man walked straight to the bar counter and smiled at the bartender. "Give me a glass of strong wine to warm up."
The bartender was snobbish. Seeing that the old man's coat was only made of ordinary material, he didn't even have a coat collar on such a cold day. "Old man, our wine is not cheap," he said coldly. "Especially if you want strong wine, even the worst Raging Fire costs a silver coin a glass."
The old man chuckled and reached under his clothes for a while. He took out an inconspicuous money bag and carefully poured out a silver coin from it and handed it over. The bartender snorted and was about to reach out to take it when someone shouted, "Give this gentleman a glass of the best wine. I'll pay for it."
It was the red-clothed man sitting in the corner. He raised his glass and saluted the old man, "Since you're here, sit down and have a drink together."
The old man didn't stand on ceremony. He retracted the silver coin he was about to hand out and walked towards the table. "How can I accept this? It's a guest from afar. I should be the one treating."
"It's fine. It's just a glass of wine. I can afford it." The red-clothed man said indifferently. He patted his female companion's hand. The woman hesitated for a moment. The man smiled and said, "If this gentleman wants to do anything to me, even ten Netherlotuses won't be able to stop him. Go find the steel cannon. The two of you stay in the hotel. "
The woman nodded and left.
The old man took the chair and sat down. The bartender brought him a glass of strong wine. The old man took a sip and said, "The weather is the coldest at the end of winter. It's as if my blood is about to freeze when I walk outside."
"If that's the case, why don't you stay at home?"
"I want to too, but sometimes I can't help it." The old man laughed.
The red-clothed man shook his head and didn't say anything.
The old man took another sip and put down his glass. "Since you invited me to this drink, you can leave. It's so cold for you to go south from Tiger Shark Harbor. Don't you find it tiring? "
"In order to avenge my son, this little bit of hard work is nothing. On the other hand, when you heard that your son was getting married, why didn't you prepare for the wedding at home? Why did you come here? I'm not going to Iron Spear Ridge. "
The old man shook his head and pointed at the man with a smile, "Alright, Eric, you are the famous Bloody Earl. There is no reason for me to watch you wander around the South without doing anything. I know what you're going to do. You're going to the Bauhinia Territory to kill someone. That won't do, especially since that person will be escorting Miss Jorah to my Iron Spear Ridge. He will be my important guest. No matter what, I can't let you attack him. "
"Oh?" The man said indifferently, "That means your iron spear, Hoey, is going to stop me here? Eh, why didn't you bring your spear with you? "
The old man shrugged, "It's too ugly to carry a gun and a knife at my age. Besides, it doesn't make much of a difference to me whether I have a gun or not. What, do you think I can't stop you without a gun? "
"Eric, do you want to try now?"
The man's eyes narrowed, and a misty blood energy seemed to surge up from the corner of his eyes. Even the air around the two of them suddenly had a strange fishy smell. He said calmly, "It's none of your business. Why do you want to interfere?"
'"I've heard about your son, Eric. Don't think I don't know what you've done in the South. He wanted to kidnap the princess of the Naga Clan, but he had quite the guts. Even with the support of the Sword Lord, did Mason really think that he could cover the sky with one hand? There were four dukes in the empire, not just one Grand Duke. This matter has alarmed the imperial capital, and I'm sure you know it. However, the imperial capital didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so it took a lot of effort to appease the Naga Clan's Highness. "If you insist on avenging Carlo now and provoke His Highness, I'm afraid the Sword Lord behind you won't wipe your ass for you," the man narrowed his eyes.
"So what you mean, Hoey, is that you won't avenge your son? If it was your Orlando who was killed, would you, Hoey, be able to take it lying down? "
"I have to swallow it even if I can't." The old man flicked the table and said, "It's fine if you say it's domineering. Anyway, since I bumped into you, you have to go back to Tiger Shark Harbor obediently."
The man laughed instead of being angry, "If this isn't domineering, what is? Hoey, Hoey, that kid really has to thank you. Alright, I'll go back now. But in the future, it's best if your Iron Spear Ridge merchant ships don't pass through Tiger Shark Harbor. If anything happens, don't say I didn't inform you in advance. "
After bidding for the wine, the man stood up and left the bar gracefully.
The old man was not in a hurry to leave. He leisurely drank all the wine in his glass before spitting out the smell of wine and saying, "Kids nowadays have a big mouth. Well, maybe I'm really old?"
He put down his glass and put on the felt hat again before walking out of the bar.
When Fares woke up, Reggie told him that Ed and the others had left. He didn't explain the reason, but he didn't ask Bing Yue to return the commission and left in a hurry. Fares felt strange and casually said, "Strange." Reggie thought for a moment and said, "An old man chatted with them for a while at the bar. Not long after, Ed and the others didn't leave. I saw the old man riding behind their carriage and leaving the town together. "
"Old man? What old man? "
Reggie shook his head. "I don't know him, but I feel that he's not ordinary." Then he roughly described the old man's appearance.
Fares widened his eyes and jumped up, "That's Hoey, Iron Spear Hoey!"
"No way? Why did the old marquis come to Jing Tie Town alone? Just to see Ed once? "
Fares shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but from your description, it should be Hoey." Although I've never seen him in person, I've seen his portrait once. It's seventy to eighty percent similar to your description of his appearance and temperament. It shouldn't be wrong. Sigh, you should have reminded me that we missed the old marquis just like that. "That's why drinking is a mistake. Otherwise, if we were to form a relationship with the marquis now, our Bing Yue wouldn't have to worry about our development in Iron Spear Ridge."
Reggie comforted, "There will always be a chance."
"I hope so." Fares smiled bitterly.
On this day, Eric, who was secretly heading south, was almost forcefully sent back by Hoey. On the same evening, Allen arrived at Dawn Castle. He didn't know that Iron Spear Hoey had quietly solved a lot of trouble for him.
