Monarch of Evernight: 115 Uninvited Guests
bsp;When a storm approaches, there is always a brief calm.
Song Zining is still running around without trace, while Wei Potian is buried in the pile of affairs. Before the Wu Zhengnan incident is completely over, he needs to manage a city, a military base, dozens of small towns, and several Population of 100,000. And there are countless people who hate him hidden in these places.
In addition to constantly improving the details of the plan to form a mercenary group and starting to arrange some start-up work, Qianye spent most of his time practicing. When Song Zining learned that the general outline of Song's ancient scrolls had collapsed, he showed such an expression.
Qianye finally understood why the inheritance of the secret combat skills of the Gaomen family was so limited. It was not just that each family suppressed later families in order to maintain their own status. In the final analysis, it was also a matter of allocation of limited resources.
Just like the Yin family's "Hua Yu Jue" that Qianye got, there is no general outline. There is only a bottle of special guidance potion, which is used to briefly convert a small part of the force in the body, and use it as a guide to activate " Transform into rain." In other words, even if the Yin family does not pursue the case, Qianye will not be able to spread this set of skills.
The reason why the practice of secret techniques is so troublesome is because the high- and middle-grade techniques passed down from the Thousand-Year War period are difficult to copy for some unknown reason, especially the general outline. The success rate of duplication is low. It's outrageous. Therefore, after a long period of exploration by the human race, this cultivation system was established in which potions and skills complement each other. Military Conquest Jue is an exception and has become a popular practice.
Therefore, even children from aristocratic families have limited opportunities to practice in front of the real book. And those selected outstanding ones, if they can complete the guidance of the secret method naturally without the use of medicine, will be the geniuses that attract much attention. Like Wei Potian, who ignited the first force node and simultaneously guided the "Thousand Layers of Mountains", no wonder he has high expectations for being promoted to marshal in the future.
However, fortunately, it is very rare that the general outline of the ancient scrolls of the Song Dynasty can be disintegrated to complete the guidance. Otherwise, the allocation of cultivation resources may be even more tense.
Qianye suddenly remembered that he had heard a few sighs from Lin Xitang back then. Before the Thousand Years War, the human race naturally awakened their innate abilities. Unexpectedly, as they continued to reproduce and inherit, their cultivation has become more and more dependent on pharmaceuticals. There was a slight movement in his heart, and he felt that the passage about the beginning of heaven and earth in the general outline of Song's ancient scrolls was perhaps not a dream talk?
No matter what, Qianye’s life is still going on step by step. The main content of his practice is still the martial arts technique, because most of the techniques recorded in the Song Dynasty's ancient scrolls are methods of operating and controlling the force, and many of the descriptions of the air flow in the meridians are completely unknown. Qianye can't find that at all. Which part of the body is it referring to?
He was not discouraged and took some time every day to try them one by one. As expected, most of them had no effect at all. Only a few techniques could activate the force of dawn. After Qianye practiced several times, he didn't feel any special feeling of changes in the properties of the Force. It was just that after each complete operation, the Force seemed to become a little more solid.
After Qianye finished practicing that day, he sent the twin girls out of his room again. The roar of an engine came from outside the hospital. An off-road vehicle stopped at the door, and a man in his forties jumped out of the car. year old man. His appearance is ordinary, and he will disappear in the blink of an eye if thrown into the crowd. But when Qianye saw him, he immediately became alert.
This man who is approaching the age of knowing his destiny should not be very high-level, but his movements are light but heavy, his steps seem brisk, but his center of gravity is extremely stable. Qianye is very familiar with this type of person. He is obviously a veteran with extremely rich combat experience. He will be extremely dangerous on the battlefield, combining the cunning of a fox and the ferocity of a wolf. The degree of danger is not proportional to the level.
The middle-aged man said a few words to Ah Qi who stopped him to ask, and then walked towards the main building. He stopped at the bottom of the steps, saluted Qianye, and said: "The villain's name is Song Hu, and he was originally a follower of Master Zining. The young master has told me that in the next year, the villain will follow the young master and help him deal with the matter. Some trivial matters related to the mercenary group."
"Is it Zining?" Qianye was startled, and then let Song Hu into the house.
Song Hu stood respectfully and refused to sit down at all, until Qianye returned to the main seat. He respectfully presented a box and a letter with both hands, and then sat halfway down the chair. .
Qianye has been sizing up this person carefully. Song Hu is dressed simply, wearing an ordinary warrior uniform. The style is quite familiar. It seems to be the standard uniform of the Song Clan guard, but all the emblems have been removed.
He was carrying a long, old box in his hand, and he did not let go of it even when he sat down. The sitting position seemed very uncomfortable, almost equivalent to walking on horseback. But Qianye knows that this posture is very suitable for dealing with crises, and he can switch to a fighting posture at any time without any hindrance.
"What else did Zi Ning confess?" Qianye took the box and letter in his hand but did not open it immediately.
Song Hu said: "Seventh Young Master said that you need to pay the villain's annual remuneration of two hundred gold coins. In addition, the villain's equipment and other equipment will also be accounted for on your head."
Qianye suddenly felt an indescribable feeling and waited quietly for the next chapter.
Sure enough, Song Hu said again: "Seventh Young Master asked me to tell you something. You want to play with the mercenary group purely to share the worries of the wild boar. He is already very worthy of you if he doesn't mess up the matter. Let him It’s absolutely impossible to contribute both effort and money.”
Qianye couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. This Song Hu is really a talent. Although he said those two sentences with a dull face, he conveyed Song Zining's meaning vividly. This person is by no means as dull as he seems on the outside.
Qianye knew that Song Zining had seen through his purpose when he heard that he wanted to build a mercenary group, so he did not say much to Song Hu, and simply stated the plan he had thought up these days, and explained it in detail. He talked about the personnel training that has been arranged.
Song Hu listened attentively, and then went straight to the topic, "Master Qian, since you plan to put the mercenary group in Heiliu City, the first thing you need to do is find a base. The villain will be in the city these two days Let's go around and choose a suitable place to serve as our future headquarters. But I dare to ask, how much money have you prepared?"
Qianye thought for a while and said, "Probably, more than a thousand gold coins."
Song Hu was a little surprised and asked: "I thought you were planning to set up a medium-sized mercenary group with more than a hundred people, but it turned out to be just a small mercenary group?"
"In fact, there are currently about...nearly four hundred people, and there are more than a hundred children who will be able to go to the battlefield in five years." Seeing Song Hu's strange look, Qianye smiled. He smiled and said: "Their weapons and equipment are all ready."
Song Hu's eyes were still a little weird, but he immediately realized that he seemed to be too rude. He coughed twice and said: "In this case, if we don't consider the supply updates of weapons and equipment, then it will cost almost five dollars a month." Only about a hundred gold coins can we maintain our combat power at the optimal level, so please make early plans regarding funding."
Qianye just smiled, but it was actually more than that. For example, Song Hu's equipment and remuneration, since Song Zining set the price at two hundred gold coins, then his equipment will not be less than this amount.
As for those seeds, do we need to pay them? In the initial stage, this group of people might be grateful for Qianye's life-saving grace and serve him regardless of reward. But as time goes by, some people will naturally have different ideas, and some people will want to live their own lives. If Qianye couldn't give it to them, some people would definitely be resentful.
The human heart is the most difficult thing to control at any time and anywhere.
Seeing that Qianye had no other instructions, Song Hu immediately expressed that he wanted to go out and walk around the city now. Qianye called Ah Qi and Ah Jiu to arrange a guest room for Song Hu. After the room became quiet again, he sat down and began to think quietly. This was something he had been thinking about occasionally when he had some free time in the past few days.
According to Song Hu, if the mercenary group wants to operate normally, it must have enough money. Now Qianye is just raising that group of people, so the problem has not been exposed yet. Once he officially enters the battle, he may not be able to maintain it for two months, and there will be no rice to eat.
In the final analysis, it is still a question of money, or resources. When Qianye was alone, with his ability to hunt the dark races, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing no matter how bad things happened, but when he was responsible for a group of people, the situation was different.
In fact, it is not impossible. Next, whether Qianye was responsible for the defense of an area and received remuneration from the expeditionary force, or he went to the wilderness to hunt high-level warriors of the dark race, the bounty he received could still barely support the operation of the entire mercenary group.
However, what should be done if this responsibility extends to a town, a city, a province, or even an entire country?
Qianye shook his head and no longer thought about this question that he could not find the answer to at present. He opened Song Zining's letter and unexpectedly found that there were only three words "Wei Bainian" on it. This is obviously supposed to be a person's name?
While Qianye was thinking about how to solve the trouble he had caused, Wei Potian was having a headache over the hot responsibility that he couldn't shake off.
Now every day when he sits on the chair that originally belonged to Wu Zhengnan, Wei Potian feels as if he has fallen into a muddy swamp with no boundaries. On the large desk in front of him, there was always a mountain of documents. No matter how hard he reviewed, there was no way to reduce the mountain.
Every time he approves ten documents, eleven new documents will be put on the table. Wei Potian brought his staff here, but they were not idle either. The contents of the document needed someone to implement it, otherwise it would be nothing more than a piece of paper.
In the midst of the calmness of most people and the unrest of a few, an inconspicuous-looking aeroboat landed outside Black Current City, and a group of equally inconspicuous people got off the aeroboat. people.
On this day, Wei Potian was buried in a pile of documents as before. In Prince Wei's limited life, these few days were definitely one of the most terrifying experiences, even far surpassing the time when he was trained alone by the White Dragon Armor.
Hearing the knock on the door, Wei Potian immediately yelled angrily: "Is it still over? Can't we send it in at once?"
The door opened on its own, and then a voice came that had frightened Wei Potian since he was a child: "Qiyang, you are about to be promoted to colonel, why are you still so restless?"
Hearing this voice, Wei Potian's hand trembled, and Mo Tuan immediately smeared half of the document he had just signed.
