"Haha, good daughter, thank you for your concern."
Hodja glanced at Melty, and sighed to himself as he slowly returned to his seat: "When I saw a girl like Melty resolutely join the mercenary group, with a daring and courageous character, among a group of male mercenaries, It's rare to see her in the middle, so I accepted her as my adopted daughter and trained her more, but it's a pity that she is a girl, otherwise it would be okay to pass my position as captain to her."
Huo Jia glanced at his son Liang Ke again, and sighed in his heart: "Oh, what a tiger father and dog son... Although Liang Ke is not weak in strength, it is a pity that he is indecisive and lacks the spirit to be a leader, making him difficult to use."
He glanced at the other two squad leaders, but Huo Jia's face was uncertain. One of Marcus and Smith was his apprentice, rude and heroic, with little resourcefulness, and the other was his promoted confidant. Now Huo Jia But Jia couldn't see through these two people at all.
"I'm old, and now half of my body is buried in the loess, but I can't find a suitable heir. It's really a great tragedy." Thinking of this, Hodja picked up the wine glass and took a sip of it sadly. At this time, Melty Said: "Father, drink less and pay attention to your health."
At this time, everyone suddenly heard a loud noise outside the tent, and then a mercenary opened the door curtain in a hurry and ran in: "Oh no, two tents storing supplies suddenly caught fire. Captain , Captains, do you want to avoid this?"
"Why are you panicking? It's not a big deal." Hodja frowned slightly, and then said to the guards around him: "Go and see what happened, and then stay there to put out the fire."
"Yes, Captain." After the six guards bowed and saluted, they hurried out of the camp. At this moment, Hodja continued: "Come on, come on, let's continue eating and drinking. It's just a small incident, don't disturb us. Everyone’s in good spirits.”
The surrounding team captains all had calm expressions on their faces, and they didn't seem to take this minor incident to heart.
But no one noticed it at this time. There is no longer a single guard around Hodja. He is now completely alone, with the two masterminds behind the dinner table. The faces of Smith and the other man gradually showed ferocious expressions like wolves.
"It's time, why doesn't he take action?" Smith's heart was in his throat at this moment. He was paying close attention to the current situation without even realizing it. Cold sweat has appeared on his forehead.
At this moment, Captain Hodja's wine glass was empty again, and a young waiter walked over. He smiled and said, "Captain, I'll fill it up for you."
"Okay, okay, the young man is very discerning." Hoja nodded with satisfaction. The person who poured the wine was Guan Heng. After he poured the wine, he stood quietly behind Hoja, looking intently. He stood there blankly.
"This is a very rare opportunity!!" The mastermind behind Guan Heng's bribery glanced at Smith. Both of them had the same idea. They believed that Guan Heng should take action immediately and kill Hodja with a blow from the dagger in his sleeve.
However, the man behind the scenes signaled Guan Heng several times with his eyes, but Guan Heng still stood behind Hodja expressionless, showing no intention of taking action, which made the man and Smith secretly furious.
"It's strange." At this time, Melty said intentionally or unintentionally: "Father, your guards were out for too long. Logically speaking, it was just two small tents on fire. They should have been out in a few minutes. Just come back soon."
"After you said that...it's really a bit weird." Hodja is also a sophisticated and experienced person. Although he drank a lot of wine, he was not very drunk. At this time, Hodja glanced at the people at the table and suddenly felt a strange and unusual atmosphere spreading.
As soon as Melty and Hodja were talking about the guards who had left and never returned, the man behind the bribery of Guan Heng could no longer bear it. He slapped the table and stood up, shouting loudly: "Guan Heng. Take action quickly."
The shout rang out, and before Hodja could react, a cold light suddenly shot out of Guan Heng's eyes behind him, and the bottom of his sleeve trembled, "Whoa!" The stainless steel dagger suddenly shot out.
However, this sword did not go into Hodja's heart as the two masterminds imagined. Instead, Guan Heng raised his arm and threw it into the table in front of the speaker, causing him to stagger in fright. Slumped down on the chair.
"It's really you?!" Hodja looked at the man and punched the table hard: "Marcuri! You bastard, why did you betray me?"
The mastermind who bribed Guan Heng and conspired with Smith to assassinate all the top leaders of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group turned out to be Hodja's only disciple and the captain of the third team, Makuri.
Seeing that the assassination attempt failed, Smith suddenly drew the sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "Brothers outside the tent, do it!"
"Come on! Kill!" Before Smith could finish his words, deafening shouts of killing suddenly sounded outside the camp. At this time, sword lights flashed outside, red light burst out, and people kept screaming and falling down. Mercury and Smith , but they all laughed sadly: "Hahaha, the balance of victory still tilts towards our side."
"Whoa!" At this moment, several figures suddenly opened the tent curtain and rushed in. Before Mercury and Smith could react, six sharp sword blades were already on the ground. on the person's neck.
The ones who took action to capture the thief were the six guards who had just gone out. One of the leaders said: "Report to the captain, all the traitors and hired killers have been captured or killed by our people, and the battlefield is being cleaned outside."
"Well, I understand." After saying this, Hoja looked at Smith and Marcus who were already tied up with a gloomy look, and whispered: "Marcury, you have been with me since you were a child. I trained you to be an outstanding mercenary captain, why did you betray me?"
Without answering Hodja directly, Makuri smiled bitterly and then asked: "Hey, my dear teacher, when did you realize my betrayal?"
"No, I never doubted you." Hodja added a few more wrinkles to his haggard and old face. He sighed and said: "This morning, Meldy and her adopted brother shut you down. When I told you the plan, I couldn’t believe you had fallen.”
"I'm sorry, teacher." Makuri sighed, lowered his head and said: "Everything is caused by greed. Last year, I gradually became obsessed with winning and losing on the gambling table, which made me deeply in debt. As a result, I got stuck in the mud and became Can’t help myself.”
