Thinking of this, Xue Pu immediately replied: "Baron, please rest assured, my subordinates will die for it."

"Well, very good. You can bring some escorts there, but not too many. It would be bad if other forces notice it. However, this time Xue Brand is going to trouble the orc tribe, which can be considered as a reward. Your actions may have distracted some attention, so you must make good use of this time!"

"By the way, try not to harass those farming villages. After all, our main task here is to maintain the normal operation of the slave trade, and from the current point of view, saving the lives of slaves has become one of our tasks. One, so without the food support from the farming villages, we would be struggling, you know?”

"My subordinate understands and I promise to complete the task." Xue Pu lightly hammered his left chest twice with his right hand.

"Okay, you go down and get ready. After you have settled all the affairs in the city, let's set off quickly." Xue Lengao waved his hand, indicating that Xue Pu could leave.

"I obey," Xue Pu replied, then stood up and left the meeting hall.

Xue Lengao looked at Xue Pu who was walking away, and murmured to himself: "That mighty fallen land, I hope you can find something useful to me, otherwise the price this time is indeed a bit high!"

After sighing, Xue Lengao pressed on the armrest of the seat.

Immediately, a passage opened under the seat, and Xue Lengao still maintained his previous posture, and slowly descended toward the passage below along with the seat.

The passage was closed and the meeting hall returned to silence.



Xue Pu left the meeting hall and quickly walked towards the command room of Xue Lao's escort team, wanting to discuss with Xue Lao how to deal with the orc tribe.

"You're leaving in such a hurry. It seems that the things the baron has arranged for you have a lot of benefits!"

A voice sounded from a corner of the corridor.

I saw the first housekeeper Xue Mo and the third housekeeper Xue Hua slowly walking out from that corner.

The eldest steward, Xue Mo, looks to be about sixty years old and about 1.65 meters tall. His shawl red hair is already a little gray, and his skin has some wrinkles, but his red eyes show a A sense of sophistication.

The third housekeeper Xue He next to him should be only forty years old. He has a slender body, his red hair is tied up and hangs down his head, and his eyes are a little cunning, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

And the one who just spoke was Xue Hua.

"Are you waiting for me here just to tell me this?"

The second housekeeper is of average blood, about fifty years old, with a very plump body that looks like a ball from a distance. He has a red buzzcut and gives the impression that he is an extremely greasy short fat man, but his small eyes are... There is a distinct sense of disharmony with its broad face.

At this time, he was using cold words to reply to Xue Mo and Xue Hua.

But his eyes were spinning in his small eyes.

"Of course we don't dare to ask about the Baron's affairs, but if there are any benefits, you can't enjoy them all. After all, we are all on the same warship, and we should not distinguish between each other." Xuehua continued He spoke.

Xue Pu smiled and said: "Hey, yo, the third steward is serious. If there are benefits, then I will definitely share them with you. But if the final result is punishment, I don't know if you are willing to bear it with me." Woolen cloth?"

"If you only think about the benefits but don't want to shoulder the responsibility with me, then please give in. I still have a lot of things to do."

"Xuepu, you should speak calmly. Don't think that the Baron values ​​you just because you can bluster in front of us. Please don't forget that our identities are the same. No matter how awesome you are, can you still climb up to us?" Can't you do it on your head? So, you are not qualified to show off." Xue Hua pointed at Xue Pu's fat body with his finger.

At this time, Xue Mo stretched out his hand and signaled to Xue Hua not to say anything, and then said to Xue Pu: "Everyone is working for the baron. Needless to say these hurtful words, Xue Pu, if you need help, please say hello to us." That's fine, after all, we are also colleagues." After saying that, he winked at Xue Hua.

Xue Hua understood and nodded to Xue Pu and said: "Yes, yes, if you need anything, just tell us directly. If we can help, we will definitely help."

Xue Pu watched their performance and was very clear about their little thoughts.

However, it was not appropriate to get into a stalemate with them at this time, so he said politely: "Then I'll thank you both. If I can get any benefits this time, I will definitely share it with you..." and then added in his heart. Sentence: "It's such a beautiful thought that only a fool would share it with you!"

"Then thank you so much, brother Xue Pu." Xue Mo said with a smile and cupped his fists.

"Thank you Brother Xue Pu for being so generous." Xue Hua also cupped his fists and echoed.

"Everyone is working under the Baron, and that's how it should be." Xue Pu gave them a fist, and then continued: "Then I won't accompany you two for now. Time is running out, and I have to go find some blood." Brand, let’s discuss the matter regarding the orc tribe, then we’ll leave first.”

"Please!" Xue Mo and Xue Hua responded at the same time.

Xue Pu didn't bother with them any more and turned around and left.

Seeing Xue Pu walk away, Xue Wa snorted coldly: "Humph! What's there to show off? I just got a chance to show off."

"Don't be impatient. Although I don't know what errand he is doing for the Baron this time, it must be quite difficult. Haven't you seen that he has been busy preparing the necessary things for the past year?"

Xuehua nodded and said, "Well, that's true. In the past nearly a year, the Baron asked me to allocate him a huge amount, but I don't know what he used it for."

"Well, what he did was relatively covert, leaving basically no clues. However, no matter whether he succeeded this time or not, it would not pose much of a threat to us. Judging from the Baron's current attention to this matter, Look, it’s okay to say that he has completed the Blood Pu. If he hadn’t completed it, I guess the Baron’s anger would not have been small. We just have to wait and watch his good show.”

"Therefore, we don't need to worry. I think we will understand after a while." Xue Mo said lightly, then turned and left.

Seeing Xue Mo leaving, Xue Hua whispered helplessly: "Hey, I am also unlucky. I encountered a food shortage, which caused many slaves to die. I hope it is best for Xue Mo to fail this mission. This will also If I can transfer the Baron's anger to him, then I can feel more relaxed." After saying this, Xuehua also walked towards the Finance Department.

"Xue Lao, what I just told you must be done well. The Baron is very concerned about this matter." Xue Pu said as he walked out of the command room of Xue Lao's escort team.

"Housekeeper Xuepu, please rest assured. Just leave this small matter of the orc tribe to me. I will help you get the help you need immediately and will not delay you from doing important things." Xuelao accompanied Xuepu. Beside him, he said enthusiastically.

"Well, that's good. I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow. I wonder if you have any problems here?" Xue Pu asked.

"I promise there will be no problem. I will make arrangements overnight and it will not affect this trip." Xuelao said, tapping his chest with his right hand.

"Well, I'm very relieved that you can handle the matter. After the matter is completed, I will say more nice things for you in front of the Baron." Xue Pu promised.

"Then there will be Butler Lao Xuepu." Xuelao said, cupping his fists.

Next, Xue Pu and Xue Lao chatted for a while, and then walked towards their residence.



Departure day.

Baron Xue Leng Ao stood on the top of the city of Baron City. Chief Butler Xue Mo and Third Butler Xue Hua stood on either side behind him.

They were looking down at the square below the city head.

At this time, Xue Pu and Xue Lao were leading the Baron City Guards, with nearly three thousand blood warriors standing in the square, waiting for the Baron's order to go out.

The standard configuration of the Baron Guards cannot exceed 10,000 Bloodmen. This time, in order to cause some hardship to the orc tribe, 3,000 Guards were dispatched, which is considered a relatively large operation.

After all, Baron City is so big, and it is already a bit tight to rely on the remaining 7,000 guards to guard it.

"I hope you won't disappoint me, we will succeed immediately!" The baron's blood-cold and arrogant voice resounded throughout the square.

"Follow your orders and make sure to complete the mission." Under the leadership of Xue Pu and Xue Lao, the escort echoed.

"Let's go! Go early and come back early!" Xue Lengao still had great confidence in his escort team.

Following the Baron's departure order, the three thousand guards marched neatly out of the city.



A week later.

"General Manager Xue Pu, let's part here. I will allocate two hundred elite guards to you for your dispatch." Xue Brand clenched his fists at Xue Pu on the horse.

"Then thank you Captain Xuelao. I wish you a successful completion of the mission and also provide cover for me." Xupu smiled at Xuelao.

"That's natural, don't worry, manager." Xue Lao patted his chest and said goodbye to Xue Pu, "Then I'll take the team to Blood Slave City first."

"Well, be careful on the road. It's time for me to set off." Xue Pu nodded.

After Xue Pu exchanged a few words with Xue Lao, he watched Xue Lao lead the escort team towards the Blood Slave City.

"Let's go, let's go to Rafa Village first." Xue Pu ordered the team leader named Xue Ming behind him, and then rode towards Rafa Village.

Xue Ming also followed closely with two hundred elite guards.



Rafah Village.

The village today is as usual. All the villagers got up early in the morning and went to do farm work outside the village.

Xue Jun is still practicing at home.

In the past few days, he has gained a deeper understanding of the illusion runes. He believes that next time he goes to the mysterious cave, he can try to enter the fantasy maze to confirm some of his conjectures.

At this moment, Xueyu hurriedly ran in from the outside and said: "Jun'er, it's not good, our village is surrounded by a group of bloodmen. The leader just entered the Xueke house. The village chief called us Go to his house right away."

"What?" Xuejun said in surprise, but he was not allowed to think too much and followed Xueyu outside.
