"Who are you? Zhou people or Mang people!"
Outside the Chi River Valley, war horses roared and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Countless ferocious foreign warriors rushed out of the forest and surrounded Jiang Li's three thousand cavalry from the Great Zhou and Tuoba tribes.
These aliens are generally not tall, but they have strong bodies and quick and agile movements. Their heads are wrapped in scarves and their faces are covered with white cloth. Their blue eyes sparkle with vigilance and bloodthirsty.
A middle-aged man wearing a white robe slowly walked out of the crowd, looking suspiciously at the strange team in front of him.
The material of the robe is ordinary, but the scimitar scabbard held in his hand is inlaid with various precious gems, reflecting dazzling brilliance in the sunlight.
"General Fu Di!"
When the foreign warriors saw the white-robed man appearing, they quickly saluted, showing great respect and even a hint of fear.
"I am Tuoba Ge from the Tuoba Tribe. When Tuoba Lue went to the Western Regions to negotiate, I went with him as a captain of thousands!"
Tuoba Ge patted his horse and took a step forward, "I came here today to discuss the implementation of the mercenary agreement with the six generals!"
With that said, he took out six military talismans.
"Where's Prince Tuobalu, why didn't he come?"
Fu Di's vulture-like eyes glanced over, and after confirming that the soldier talisman was genuine, he looked at Sergeant Zhou in the team again.
"Tuoba Lue is dead, and now I am in charge of the Tuoba tribe!" Tuoba Ge said loudly.
"You had a civil unrest?"
Fu Di's eyes flashed, and he already had some speculations in his mind. He glanced at Tuoba Ge with disdain, turned and left, "The one who signed the agreement with us is Tuoba Lue. Since he is dead, his son has not died either. Come on, we have lost the person to be performed, the agreement is void, you go away!"
"The people you are doing business with are the Tuoba tribe. The gold, silver, cattle, sheep, and female relatives you collect also belong to the entire Tuoba tribe. How can you accept the money but not do anything? The credibility of your Iron Thorn Mercenary Alliance is ruined. Don’t want it anymore?”
Tuoba Ge was furious when he saw this and shouted sharply.
"Credibility?"
Fu Di paused for a moment, turned around and sneered: "I didn't kill you on the spot, which is already a favor to the Tuoba royal family. Not to mention that you killed my old friend, just talking about credibility, do you think you deserve it? !”
"Fu Di, don't you want to live? I am the future lord of the wilderness. If you despise me today, I will lead millions of Mang clan cavalry to crush your country in the future!"
Tuoba Ge was filled with shame and anger, his face turned red and black.
"Very good, Tuoba Ge, you have successfully angered me!"
Fu Di sneered and turned around, the corner of his mouth curved in a cruel arc. He flicked the scabbard with his thumb, and the murderous intent suddenly arose. The cold light turned into a shadow and appeared in front of Tuoba Ge in an instant, with the blade hitting the door directly.
"Oh"
Tuoba Ge suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his whole body felt as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into the ice and snow, and was instantly enveloped by the cold.
As a martial artist in the middle stage of the Ten Thousand Master Realm, he didn't even see clearly how Fu Di was using his sword. The sharp blade was still ten meters away, and the skin on his forehead had already been cut by the blade, bleeding like a stream.
"clang"
And at this critical moment, a black shadow flashed in mid-air, just a flash, and caught Fu Di's fierce blade.
The harsh sound of gold and stone clashing instantly exploded in the air.
The surrounding mercenaries, as well as Da Zhou and Tuoba's soldiers all showed expressions of fear and pain, and hurriedly covered their ears.
Many war horses were frightened and went crazy, rushing around and rushing around.
"What a terrifying power, who are you!"
Fu Di's knife-wielding figure was knocked back, fell to the ground and stumbled backwards. His entire arm seemed to have been shattered. The muscles were torn, the arm bones were cracked, and the meridians and blood vessels were about to explode.
Even the Hundred Refined Sword, which he was most proud of, had a big gap cut out.
"Are you an immortal prince from the Zhou Dynasty? Are you the emperor Muchuan from the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army?"
Fu Di vomited a few mouthfuls of blood and looked at the young general next to Tuoba Ge in surprise.
He was the one who just used the sword to repel him.
The speed was so fast that even Fu Di Shen's realm and six senses in the early stages of his transformation could not be fully captured.
He didn't even see clearly what kind of weapon it was that broke the sword.
Wow wow wow
Almost at the moment Fu Di was knocked back and fell to the ground, all the foreign warriors around him drew out their weapons, their murderous intentions rising. As long as Fu Di snorted, they would immediately rush on their horses and kill the three thousand warriors. , Tuoba’s team were all crushed into pulp!
"General Fu Di, are we now qualified to continue negotiating the previous agreement?"
Jiang Li ignored the Western Region mercenaries around him and looked at them calmly.
"If it were you, we could indeed talk!"
Fu Di's eyes flashed, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pointed to the Chihe Valley ahead, and said: "You are the only one, how dare you?"
"Lead the way!"
Jiang Li nodded and rode out.
"General, be careful of fraud!"
Tuoba Ge looked at the dense forest and the unknown valley in the distance, feeling very worried.
He and Jiang Li were both standing on the same boat. Once Jiang Li was injured, he would also be in danger.
"It doesn't matter, I believe the Iron Thorn Alliance won't be so short-sighted!"
Jiang Li waved his hand.
On the road leading to the valley, the Western Region mercenaries slowly backed up, leaving a gap that only allowed one person to pass.
The mercenaries were riding on horses, their long spears and scimitars flickering with cold light. They were so close that they could explode at any time. One shot after another, they directly pierced and chopped Jiang Li who was a few inches away.
The military formation composed of swords, guns, swords and forks produced powerful oppression and threats, giving people a heavy psychological impact.
But while Jiang Li was walking, his heart was as calm as water, without any fluctuation.
"You should not be Huangfu Muchuan. In the portrait I saw, although he looks young, he has white hair and his brows are filled with the vicissitudes of time!"
Fu Di staggered forward, holding himself up with only one breath.
The brief exchange just now caused him severe injuries, far more severe than expected.
A destructive sword intent filled his flesh and bones, making it difficult to suppress.
He took a deep breath and tried to stop the surging blood in his chest from spewing out. His brain was working rapidly, trying to guess Jiang Li's identity so as to regain some dignity and the initiative to negotiate the agreement.
After all, as a mercenary organization, if you can't even find out the details of the other party, it will still damage your business image.
"Jiang Li!"
Jiang Li frowned. Fu Di walked in front of him. He could clearly feel that the energy and blood in this man's body were getting more and more disordered, almost to the edge of collapse.
He didn't know Fu Di's status among the 100,000 mercenaries from the Western Regions. If he was the number one figure, he would die like this with his own sword.
This will inevitably produce many adverse factors for the negotiation and implementation of the agreement.
"Jiang Li!"
Fu Di was startled, and his body stiffened slightly.
Of course he knew who Jiang Li was.
The descendant of Jiang Shirong, the first person in the martial arts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Prince of Zhenwu, Qilinzi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a young general who was deeply admired by Emperor Jing and had a high reputation.
It is also the bloodline of the descendants of the former Qin Dynasty.
For most of the thirty-two years of Qianyuan, Jiang Li could almost be said to be the most watched young man in the entire Nine Provinces Continent.
"Are you Jiang Li?"
Fu Di was a little excited and couldn't help vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood. Then he asked curiously: "I know that your vitality was disabled by Jiang Shirong, and you were appointed as a general in the Liangzhou camp by Emperor Jing, so you just hurt me. That knife should be the Demon Sword Rentu from the Lishan Military Palace!"
"Iron Thorn is indeed one of the three major mercenary alliances in the Western Region. They even know everything about the Zhou Dynasty!"
Jiang Li nodded, feeling a little surprised.
"As expected, it's you. It seems that our intelligence system is still not complete and detailed enough. You obviously have a very high level of martial arts, and you are probably in the middle and late stages of the divine transformation. However, there is no such information at all in the news from the intelligence system. Record!”
Fu Di took a deep breath, slowed down his pace, secretly adjusted his injuries, and said proudly: "But there are not many cases like you. Most of the time, our news is very accurate!"
"In this case, there may be more opportunities for cooperation between us!"
Jiang Li opened his palms, and ten True Essence Pills emitting a faint golden glow floated towards Fu Di.
"Your energy realm has not been abolished?"
Fu Di was startled again, but he did not have the same violent mood swings as before. He took the True Essence Pill and threw it into his mouth without thinking.
The next moment, the True Essence Pill spread out and turned into wisps of pure Essence Yang that circulated throughout the body.
Fu Di's injuries quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After more than ten breaths, all the True Essence Pills were consumed. His injuries were still serious, but they no longer affected his ability to walk and speak.
"What kind of magical elixir is this? The pure Yuanyang it contains is unprecedented and can be directly absorbed by the physical body!"
Fu Di was extremely surprised, and a bright light rose in his eyes, "How many of these pills do you have? No matter what you want, we can discuss it!"
"Refining the True Essence Pill is quite difficult, and I don't have many in my hands, but as long as you can come up with something that satisfies me, it's not impossible to redeem it!" Jiang Li said.
"Easy to say, easy to say, I'll call them here now. This cooperation with Tuoba Lue will be led by me, so you can rest assured!"
Fu Di nodded and led Jiang Li into the Chihe Valley.
A large red river passes through the valley, and the silt brought from the upper reaches is piled on both sides of the valley, forming a fertile plain in the valley. It is one of the few lands in the wilderness suitable for farming.
However, because this place is adjacent to the countries in the Western Regions, foreign bandits and mercenaries often sneak into Beimang and burn, kill and loot. It has always been in a state of neglect.
However, when Jiang Li walked into this valley, the plains on both sides of the Chi River were filled with tents of mercenaries from the Western Regions.
"General Fu Di, are these people from the Tuoba tribe? They look more like generals from the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
From the camp in the valley, five mercenary leaders with different clothes walked out. They were of different ages and skin colors, but the aura condensed on their bodies was very powerful.
Almost all are warriors in the late stage of Yiwu or early stage of divine transformation.
One of them has a slightly weak aura, but his eyes are bright and he is energetic. He should be a Taoist master.
"The plan may change. Come into my main account and we will tell you slowly!"
Fu Di waved his hand and took the lead.
He seemed to have a high status among the mercenaries, and none of the other five mercenary leaders had any objections.
Everyone walked into the tent and sat down. Immediately, many beautiful girls walked in barefoot and served sumptuous food and wine. Then they knelt down around Jiang Li and the five mercenary leaders, serving them carefully.
Almost all of these girls are fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate skin, youthful beauty, some are girls from Middle Earth, some are from the wilderness and the Western Regions.
"You have all heard of this young general. He is Qilinzi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the son of Jiang Shirong, Marquis of Zhenwu..."
Fu Di told everything he knew.
As for how Tuoba Lue died and how Tuoba Ge came to power, they were not what Fu Di and the five mercenary leaders cared about.
They just wanted to know the purpose of Jiang Lici's visit and what benefits he could bring to the mercenary organization.
"I came here today because I hope you can continue to fulfill your agreement with the Tuoba tribe, but the target of the attack needs to be changed!"
Jiang Li said flatly: "I want you to help me conquer the entire Tuoba royal family and all the territories in the northwest of the wilderness!"
"Ahem, Jiang Li, I really admire you. You have such courage and courage at such a young age, and you try to influence the entire battle situation in the northwest of the wilderness with just 10,000 troops!"
Fu Di sat shirtless at the head of the main tent, while two mercenary doctors carefully applied medicine and bandage to his injured right arm.
Fu Di drank the strong wine in the glass in one gulp and sighed: "You have never been to the northwest of the wilderness. You don't know. Although we are mercenaries, what we do is to collect people's money and work for others, but this does not mean that we have no relatives. friend!"
He looked up at the sky with his forty-five-year-old horns, his eyes flickering, and his thoughts seemed to go back to that day many years ago: "I have a very deep connection with the Tuoba royal family, and I am half-son with the current patriarch of the Tuoba royal family. brother!"
"The commission is doubled. On the day I take control of the Tuoba royal family, I will give you two thousand True Essence Pills as additional compensation for your brotherhood!"
Jiang Li smiled slightly and said, "Can you accept this condition?"
"Three thousand True Essence Pills!"
Fu Di leaned forward and whispered: "As a sign of sincerity, I can mobilize another 30,000 mercenaries from the countries in the Western Region as a supplement!"
"Okay, three thousand coins, three thousand coins!"
Jiang Li agreed directly without hesitation.
He has the power of Tiangang to turn stones into gold and induce Yuanyang. It is not difficult to gather the gold, silver and elixirs that Fu Di wants.
In the future, there will be continuous wars. You can absorb the true Yang aura from the corpses of the dead soldiers on the battlefield and condense the true essence elixir.
"Hahaha, young people are happy, let's re-sign the contract now!"
Fu Di didn't expect that Jiang Li didn't even counter-offer, so he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He raised his glass of strong wine with a sincere look: "Pass it on, from today on, Jiang Li, the Qilin son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I are as deep in love as the sea. , half-brothers!"
"Congratulations to Leader Fu Di for gaining another brother!"
"Brotherhood is as strong as gold!"
The five mercenary leaders also raised their wine glasses and blessed in unison happily!
"..."
Jiang Li pursed his lips and stopped talking.
If he hadn't relied on these Western Region mercenaries to complete his plan in the next period of time, he really wanted to say that there was no need for him!
"Leader Fu Di, can you briefly tell me about the Iron Thorn Mercenary Alliance's intelligence system in various parts of the Kyushu?" Jiang Li suddenly asked.
"Of course, my brother!"
Fu Di put down his wine glass and said kindly: "Actually, the intelligence system controlled by Iron Thorns is divided into two levels. One is the intelligence organization controlled by our Iron Thorns Mercenary Alliance, and the other is the information exchange and sharing with the other two major mercenary alliances. special channels.
"These two intelligence systems have existed for hundreds of years and are spread almost all over Kyushu. They operate automatically. Every seven days, all the information collected will be brought together.
"Part of the information will be formed into a time book and sent to all members of the Iron Thorn Alliance, while the other part will be sealed and requires a special application before it can be accessed!"
Fu Di thought for a while and said: "As the distinguished employer of our Iron Thorn Alliance, I can apply to the alliance to send you a time book every seven days. I can also help you apply for other information you want to find out! "
"General Fu Di, my mother is the princess of the former Qin Dynasty, but I have been trapped in the prince's mansion since I was a child. I know nothing about many things. Can you please help collect all the information about the seven kingdoms in the troubled times!"
Jiang Li paused and said, "Especially the information about the survivors of the former Qin Dynasty and the important weapons of Kyushu!"
