Cyan Mist Town was a peaceful town located in the northeast corner of Yunzhong Commandery. Cyan Mist Town was famous for its wine made from five grains. Although the town was not large, it had more than 20 pubs, which attracted a lot of paladins and wandering mercenaries. At the same time, Cyan Mist Town was also the base of the Flame Wolf Mercenary Group.
…
Early in the morning, a light drizzle fell from the sky, moistening everything in the small town. The continuous drizzle fell on the stone pavement and the soil, nurturing new life for the next spring. The pedestrians on the road looked hurried. A few burly men with heavy battle axes on their backs were asking about the price of ale in the tavern, but they just shook their heads. They didn't have enough money on them, so they wanted to find a cheaper tavern.
In the drizzle, a young man in a yellow straw raincoat walked slowly. He raised his head and lifted his cloak, revealing a delicate and handsome face. He stopped in front of a tavern and immediately attracted the attention of the Lady Boss of the tavern. She went up to him and said with a smile, "Young Master, do you want to stay here or drink?"
He smiled slightly. It was a very beautiful smile, but also a little immature, and said, "I want to ask, where is the headquarters of the Flame Wolf Mercenary Group?"
"The Flame Wolf Mercenary Group?"
The proprietress was stunned for a moment, then stopped smiling and said, "Young Master, you want to join the Flame Wolf Mercenary Group, right?"
"Yes …"
"Hee … Lord Fengxi lives in the courtyard at the northernmost part of this street. But Young Master, you don't look like a wandering mercenary, do you?"
"Thank you."
Lin Muyu cupped her hands in gratitude, pulled down her cloak, and continued to walk in the rain.
At this moment, a carriage suddenly galloped in front of them. The coachman's face was full of ferocity. He raised his horsewhip from afar and shouted, "Get out of the way, bastard!"
"Whoosh!"
The horsewhip flew in an arc towards Lin Muyu's neck. However, Lin Muyu's speed was even faster. She had already raised her left hand and grabbed the end of the whip with a "pa" sound. With a sudden tug, the coachman was forcefully pulled down from the carriage. It was too dangerous for a coachman to dare to drive a horse so recklessly in a small town.
"Bang!"
The coachman fell to the ground and fell flat on his face. His face was covered in mud and water. He hurriedly climbed up and cursed, "Bastard, how dare you be so impudent. Brothers, get off the carriage and chop him up!"
Immediately, several strong men jumped out of the carriage, carrying broadaxes and longswords. Each one of them had a fierce expression on their faces, and one of them even summoned his martial spirit. It was a Mad Wolf martial spirit, roughly seventh or eighth grade. Raising his battle-axe, he chopped down on Tang Wulin's head, and angrily cursed: "Dare to block this Elder's path, courting death!"
The battleaxe was coming at a rapid speed, but Lin Muyu didn't dodge. With a light shout, the indigo gourd walls were released, and with a "peng" sound, the big man was sent flying along with the battleaxe. On the other side, a mercenary suddenly thrust his longsword at Lin Muyu's chest, but he didn't think that Lin Muyu's movements would be faster. She dodged the attack, and with a sweep of her right hand, the hilt of her longsword heavily struck the mercenary's chest.
"Bang!"
The mercenary let out a muffled groan, and retreated a few steps, gasping for breath.
Lin Muyu lifted a corner of her cloak, revealing a pair of frightening eyes, and indifferently said: "Don't provoke me, or else I can't guarantee that I won't be able to hold back next time."
The few mercenaries were dumbstruck as they watched Lin Muyu's martial spirit gradually dissipate. None of them dared to say a word, and could only stare blankly as Lin Muyu turned around and left.
… …
At this time, at the corner of the street, a monkey-like man saw this scene, and hastily jumped onto his horse, and madly galloped towards the end of the street. He dismounted in front of a house with a green gate, and quickly rushed into the main hall, and loudly said: "Captain, not good, Lin Muyu is here!"
In the hall, a young martial artist around 30 years old, wearing light armor, was sipping tea, and frowning, he said: "Wang Hou 'er, you're still not calm, how could Lin Muyu dare to come to our Flame Wolf Mercenaries' territory alone?"
"But I really saw him, and his martial spirit is a green gourd."
"Green gourd?" Fengxi raised his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Green gourd Martial Spirit of the tenth grade, there are countless people in Lanyan City who have a green gourd Martial Spirit, if not ten thousand, there are at least eight thousand people who have a green gourd Martial Spirit. How can you determine that he is Lin Muyu with just a green gourd Martial Spirit?"
Monkey Wang's face was pale. He gasped for breath and said, "But, his green gourd is an indigo gourd. Moreover, it is infused with Dou Qi instead of Zhen Qi. I can see it clearly. He is coming towards us!"
"What!?"
Feng Xi finally could not sit still any longer. He stood up and bellowed: "Men, gather the troops immediately and get the archers ready. Also, place three hundred executioners on both sides of the hall. I want to see what this Lin Mu Yu is trying to do by sending himself to our doorstep!"
"Yes!"
… …
The green door was covered with dried moss, "Dong Dong Dong" rhythmically knocked on the door, and a mercenary carefully stepped forward to open the door. The moment he opened the door, he took a few steps back, his face was full of vigilance.
Outside the door, Lin Muyu shook off the rain on her body, revealing the dignified Temple Armor under the straw raincoat. The white robe on her back made the mercenaries feel a chill in their hearts, as if the armor was bestowed with some kind of terrible power, making them tremble.
"Is Captain Fengxi at home?"
Lin Muyu faced the group of mercenaries who pointed their spears at her, and said with a smile: "Is this how the Flame Wolves Mercenaries treat their guests?"
At this time, Fengxi's voice came from the hall: "All of you stand down! Ha, it's Master Lin Muyu, I didn't know you came from afar, please forgive me for not welcoming you. Master, please come into the hall for a chat. "
"Many thanks."
Lin Muyu's gaze swept across the surrounding group of mercenaries, and just like that, she stepped into the core of the Flame Wolves Mercenaries' encampment. Using the Spirit Pulse Technique, she could sense at least 500 people surrounding the area, and there were even archers lying in ambush behind the surrounding walls. There were even a few young archers who had already poked their longbows out of the wall and pointed them at her.
"Heh …"
With a slight smile, Lin Muyu sat down without hesitation.
Fengxi's face was cloudy, and he asked: "Master Lin Muyu, may I know why you've come this time?"
"To lobby you."
"Lobby me for what?" Fengxi was stunned.
"To lobby you to give up your position as captain, and bring your people to join the Longdan Army Camp." Lin Muyu smiled slightly.
"What!?" Fengxi's eyebrows raised, and he said angrily: "Lin Muyu, do you think my Flame Wolves Mercenaries have no people? If you come here alone, do you believe that I won't turn you into minced meat in minutes!? "
"I do! I do! " Lin Muyu smiled and cupped her hands, saying: "I ask Master Fengxi to spare my life, and let me finish what I have to say first, then it won't be too late to turn me into minced meat …"
Fengxi held back his anger and said: "Fine, tell me … my Flame Wolves Mercenaries still have at least 2000 elites, why should we be at your mercy? If you can't give me a reason that can convince me, then don't even think of walking out of here alive today."
"Fine."
Lin Muyu said lightly: "The Empire is divided into twelve provinces, and Lanyan City is located in the North Ridge Province, so the mercenary world in the North Ridge Province is the most prosperous. The total number of mercenary bands in the North Ridge Province is uncountable, but there are eight big mercenary bands. The first ranked North Ridge Mercenary Group has over ten thousand soldiers, and the second ranked Sacred Flame Mercenary Group also has nine thousand men. In the Cloud Central Commandery, besides you and me, there is another powerful mercenary band — the Flame Dragon Mercenary Group. They have a total of 7500 men, over 2000 warhorses, and are well-equipped. They have long been eyeing your Flame Wolves Mercenary Group. Don't you feel uneasy, Captain Fengxi?"
Fengxi took a deep breath, and his expression was very ugly. Lin Muyu's few words seemed to have pierced his vitals, leaving him powerless to refute.
"Hmph … the Flame Dragon Mercenary Group is but a plate of loose sand, nothing to fear." He snorted coldly, and then said: "Master Lin Muyu is so calm and composed. Do you think that after the Flame Wolves Mercenary Group is destroyed, the Flame Dragon Mercenary Group will let go of your Longdan Army Camp?"
"They won't."
Lin Muyu shook her head and said with a smile: "Therefore, divided we are weak, united we are strong. This is the reason why I came today."
"Oh?"
Fengxi couldn't help but smile, and said: "Since you want our Flame Dragon Mercenary Group to join the Longdan Army Camp, then tell me, what qualifications do you have to make us join you?"
Lin Muyu put up three fingers, and said with a faint smile: "First, the Longdan Army Camp's base, Dragon-rocky Mountain, is dangerous, easy to defend, and hard to attack. Second, the Longdan Army Camp has enough food and weapons, and we can buy another batch of warhorses, which will be enough to fight against the Flame Dragon Mercenary Group. Third, the Longdan Army Camp has a few very powerful generals, including Luo Yu, who has stepped into the Heaven Realm. Master Fengxi, do you … have these?"
"This …"
Fengxi was actually speechless, and said: "Even so, our Flame Wolves Mercenary Group has no reason to join you."
"No, you do." Lin Muyu smiled faintly: "You don't have money, whether it is weapons or warhorses, they are very scarce. Look at the weapons used by the people outside, many of them have been seriously worn out. Do you want your brothers to take such equipment and risk their lives against the Flame Dragon Mercenary Group?"
"I …" Fengxi was speechless, and said: "I … Our Flame Wolves Mercenary Group has rarely plundered in the past half a year, and only recuperated in Cyan Mist Town, otherwise …"
Lin Muyu smiled: "Commander Fengxi, since you don't want to do things that go against your conscience, why don't you join the Longdan Army Camp? As long as you join the Longdan Army Camp, I promise to equip each of you with warhorses, excellent weapons, and suitable armor. I will keep my word. "
"Really?"
Fengxi was a little bit tempted, and when he said these words, he was a little bit regretful. He shook his head and laughed at himself: "Poor people are short of ambition …"
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing: "The Longdan Army Camp never plunders people, nor does it indiscriminately kill the innocent. Isn't this enough for you to join us? As long as you join the Longdan Army Camp, I can make you the deputy commander, how about it? But if you must be the enemy of the Longdan Army Camp, then … "
Lin Muyu pointed at the military rank on her collar, and said with a threatening smile: "That is to be the enemy of the whole empire. Even if you kill me here, my brothers Feng Jixing and Qin Lei will lead tens of thousands of people to flatten your Flame Wolves Mercenary Group."
"Alas …"
Fengxi finally couldn't bear this kind of psychological pressure. His eyes turned red, and he said in pain: "Then how can I believe your promise to me that you have enough capital to provide equipment for 2,000 people?"
Lin Muyu reached into her Qiankun bag, took out a handful of diamond coins, and sprinkled them on the table: "Is this proof enough?"
"This …"
Fengxi was shocked, and the mercenaries at the side were also surprised. They were actually of civilian origin, and after becoming mercenaries, they earned a lot of money, but it was only in gold coins. They rarely saw diamond coins.
…
"Alright, when do we set off for Dragon-rocky Mountain?"
"Let's do it today. It's better to leave earlier than later."
"Okay."
Fengxi's eyes revealed a trace of coldness: "Then how can you be sure that I won't play tricks, take the opportunity to take down Dragon-rocky Mountain, and replace the Longdan Army Camp?"
Lin Muyu smiled faintly, and slowly opened the five fingers of her right hand. A small indigo gourd slowly rose from her palm, and the mighty fighting energy turned into light purple Seven Luminaries Profound Energy. For a moment, a strong wind raged, blowing the surrounding people back. His eyes were indifferent, and he said with a smile: "Because I can easily kill you, so why should I worry?"
