Li Dai was really surprised by Lan Cao's words. She looked at the tall, strong but not strong Lan Cao opposite her carefully, and asked the doubt that everyone in the Invincible Mercenary Team had at this time: "Why?"
Hearing Li Dai's question, Lancao was stunned for a moment. She thought that with the strength and number of the Lancao mercenary team, it would be very simple for the people of the Invincible mercenary team to accept it, not to mention that they have accepted the challenge from the beginning until now. , being able to persist for so long showed that the Lancao mercenary team was very strong. She thought that the Invincible mercenary team would be ecstatic when she made this suggestion, but she did not expect that they would be so calm. www
Not to mention, both Li Dai and Nian Yu, the two people who seemed to be in charge, and the members of the Invincible Mercenary Team were too calm and showed little joy at all.
In fact, Lancao is not bad. According to normal circumstances, the Invincible Mercenary Team should indeed be happy to join the Lancao Mercenary Team. However, this time is different from the past. Since Li Dai gave them the elixir and cultivation level After more than twenty days of making rapid progress like a dream, their overall strength is no worse than that of the Blue Grass Mercenary Team. It should be said that they are stronger than them.
What's more, they also have the ultimate killer Li Dai. With her, as long as they work hard to get enough rare things to exchange with her, will their cultivation progress be slow?
So under such circumstances, of course they couldn't show any happy emotions. Not only were they not happy, they were also a little nervous, fearing that the women from the Lancao Mercenary Team would come and take away Li Dai's favor.
Not to mention that, even if Lancao was wondering why they didn't show ecstasy, she wouldn't ask this question stupidly. Isn't it obvious that it would make people unhappy! If the people of the Invincible Mercenary Team misunderstood that they looked down on them, then her idea would be in vain.
With this thought in her mind, Lan Cao did not forget to answer Li Dai's question. She frowned and said, "There is indeed another reason for joining the Invincible Mercenary Team this time." She seemed a little embarrassed when she said this, but she was clear about Li Dai. With her eyes wide open, she still didn't hide anything and told the whole story: "Some time ago, one of my sisters got a map by chance."
As soon as these words came out, Li Dai vaguely guessed what happened to them. After thinking about it, she set up a consciousness isolation barrier around the Invincible Mercenary Team and Lan Cao. With her powerful soul, she set up such a barrier. world, even the 'Order' hiding in the dark cannot hear it.
Of course, Li Dai didn't think so much at this time, she did it subconsciously.
Li Dai was completely speechless after hearing Lan Cao's words.
"Actually, we don't know what the use of that map is. We got it by chance while doing a mission. But when we got it, another team of people also saw it. That team of people were also mercenaries. Although they were not strong, they had a good reputation. They are surprisingly stinky. In order to get benefits, they will do anything." At this point, Lan Cao was very angry, and his tone couldn't help but become more serious. "Those bastards not only sold the news that we got the map to They also made up a map of the ancient monk's powerful cave. In addition to the map, they also said that we have more valuable treasures in our hands." As he talked about it, Lan Cao clenched his fists, obviously She was so angry that a big girl showed helplessness and grievance on her face at this time, "Those bastards made up some ancient monks' powerful cave map and treasures, and they just sold the information to Wuying Tower. Wuying Tower It is a famous place for buying and selling information on Cangyun Continent. It is a relatively reputable existence in the dark market. Generally, people who buy information from Wuying Studio will not reveal who is selling the information and how they obtained the treasure. Unless you pay an absolutely huge price and have an absolutely strong backing, but if there is such a backing, people will not focus on the source of a picture, so I am not too worried about this aspect, but..." She As soon as the words changed, his face became even uglier, and there was still disbelief in his tone, "It's just that I never expected that they would be so courageous. They would sell the fabricated lies and news to Wuying Studio without telling them, in order to get more information. The biggest benefit is that they actually came into contact with a member of the second-rate mercenary team, the one with the most vicious reputation." Lan Cao did not specify, but when she mentioned the most vicious, Lan Xiangfeng had a guess! He used to be a member of the Huya Mercenary Team. He often heard about what the Huya Mercenary Team did. At that time, he didn't believe it. He thought it was a frame-up by his opponent against the Huya Mercenary Team. Later, he jumped out. Only in that circle did they know how vicious the Huya mercenary team was, and those who snatched women and killed women and children were considered trivial. Deng Hu, the leader of the Huya mercenary team, was a ruthless and ruthless person, so the people under him were naturally not much better. Go, otherwise why would there be a saying that birds of a feather flock together?
He is so principled and sometimes helps disadvantaged groups. I am afraid that the members of the Huya Mercenary Team, including Deng Hu, have long been displeased with his behavior. The reason why they accommodated him and concealed his true nature from him was Perhaps it was also because of his status as an alchemist. At that time, he was the only alchemist that the Huya mercenary team could handle.
Not to mention those things, when Lancao said this, he finally looked a little scared, obviously afraid of the vicious second-rate mercenary team.
When Li Dai heard the whole story, she had no idea of putting herself in the other person's shoes. Although she admired the female cultivators in the Lancao Mercenary Team who worked hard on their own, since they wanted to join the Invincible Mercenary Team, they had to be emotional. , you must look at the problem from a rational position, so Li Dai figured out a few key points, and then her face darkened.
"You are deliberately taking advantage of us!" She said the core of the matter in one sentence.
When the other members of the Invincible Mercenary Team heard what Li Dai said, their faces became ugly.
Ignoring Lancao's shocked expression, she slowly stepped closer to Lancao. At this moment, Lancao felt invincible fear, even more frightening than the possibility of facing the vicious second-level mercenary team.
And Li Dai's words extinguished her last glimmer of hope.
"It's a lie that you want to come and seek refuge with us, but it's true that you want to divert the attention of someone who is interested!" Li Daiyue said, and her face turned paler, but she heard Li Dai continue, "If you really want to seek refuge with us and explain the reason, you will choose an appropriate occasion, and There are not so many people talking about maps in public." Looking at her, Lan Cao seemed to have read through her mind and staggered back, but Li Dai did not let her go, grabbing her clothes and speaking with a relaxed but relaxed expression. He said in a heavy tone, "You told the whole story on such an occasion, but you didn't name the mercenary team that betrayed you, nor did you name the second-level mercenary who listened to the rumors and got the news. Who is the mercenary team, but they revealed that the map is not a treasure map at all, and you did not get the central meaning of other treasures. By stating it publicly, you want more people to know what the mercenary team who sold the information said. They are all false. Even if the second-rate mercenary team doesn't believe this statement, Wuying Studio will definitely investigate it, and you will buy yourself more time. www" At this point, Li Dai suddenly turned, "Besides, if you appear in front of everyone in our Invincible Mercenary Team, it doesn't matter whether you have treasure maps or treasures on you. If you form an alliance with our Invincible Mercenary Team, they will believe that those things have fallen to the Invincible Mercenary Team. In the hands of the team members, yes or no?"
The more Li Dai said, the more shocked Lan Cao was. Why did she know everything?
"When the time comes, we will take the blame for the Lancao Mercenary Team. If you are thinking of severing ties with me, you will get out of this whole thing. What a good plan!"
Li Dai's last words dashed Lancao's hopes. She really knew everything!
After listening to Li Dai's words, all the members of the Invincible Mercenary Team became extremely ugly. Nian Ying turned red with anger and stared at Lancao: "Who gave you the courage to plot against me, the Invincible Mercenary?" Team?" Do they really look so easy to bully?
Lancao looked at Nian Yuan and Li Dai with guilt and fear. She didn't expect Li Dai to guess so accurately. She didn't say anything, but she revealed her purpose clearly.
To be honest, she has been clean all her life and has a clear conscience in doing things. Although the members of the Orchid Grass Mercenary Team are all women, she has brought out their righteousness and narrow sense. Now for the first time, she has resorted to unscrupulous means just to protect the Orchid Grass Mercenaries. Sisters in the army, although she felt guilty for using the invincible mercenary team, she did not regret it. Now that someone had seen through her and pointed out her sinister intentions, Lan Cao was at a loss and felt her face was burning and painful, and she was ashamed.
But there was no other way. Apart from this move, she really couldn't think of how to save everyone in the Blue Grass Mercenary Team. And just as Li Dai said, she had no real intention to integrate the Blue Grass Mercenary Team into the Invincible Mercenary Team. The Invincible Mercenary Team Although the army defeated Greedy Wolf, in Lancao's opinion, the overall strength was still not enough for them to surrender.
So to put it bluntly, taking refuge is false, while using it is true.
"There are several reasons!" Lan Cao looked at Li Dai who was so calm and listened to her slowly explain why she chose them. For the first time, she regretted it. She seemed to have underestimated the Invincible Mercenary Team.
But things had developed so far that she couldn't help but back down. She tried hard to listen to Li Dai's crisp voice and said slowly, "The reason for choosing us is very simple!" As she said this, she saw Li Dai suddenly turning his head to look at the people of the Invincible Mercenary Team. , said word by word, "Because in the eyes of others, we are not strong enough and we are soft persimmons that can be manipulated! In the battle with Greedy Wolf, we have enough reputation, and we have to fight against the Lancao mercenary team in the end, because they have After fighting for such a long time, they must be injured, exhausted, and physically and mentally exhausted. In the eyes of outsiders, such a bluegrass mercenary team may not be able to defeat us, so they chose to join us." At this point, Li Dayton After a pause, he continued, "Of course, this is not the main reason why the outside world believes that the Lancao Mercenary Team will join us. The most important thing is the elixir! The elixir you used when fighting against the Greedy Wolf Mercenary Team, and you What does it mean to appear at the scene intact after being attacked by Greedy Wolf? It means that there is someone behind the Invincible Mercenary Team, at least a powerful alchemist. This condition alone is enough for them to believe that the Lancao Mercenary Team is sincere. Come here to seek refuge." At this point, Li Dai looked at Lan Cao, who was wide-eyed in disbelief, and chuckled, "Many people who are paying attention to this matter can figure out the whole story, why are you confused?"
Lancao couldn't hold on any longer, trembling and reflecting, yes, why was she confused? It is true that the Invincible Mercenary Team has an alchemist, and there is more than one. She is the leader of the Lancao Mercenary Team, so she naturally knows the origin of Lan Xiangfeng, but it is not Lan who can make the Invincible Mercenary Team escape from Greedy Wolf's trap. Xiangfeng can do it! Because she knew that the poison pills in Tanlang's hands were obtained by currying favor with Deng Hu. There were rumors that the poison in the Huya mercenary team was made by the poisonous granny behind the scenes.
Can she really afford to deal with people like this and a mercenary team that can deal with what the poisonous mother-in-law created?
It's not that she didn't have such scruples before, but in order to save the people of the Lancao mercenary team, she couldn't care about anything else. This is how the world of cultivation is, the jungle preys on the strong. If the Invincible mercenary team can be used by her, she can only blame them for their own misfortune. Weakness, conscience, etc., can be thrown away when you are trying to save your own people.
But she never expected that the Invincible Mercenary Team was really a piece of iron and not so easy to bully.
But at that time, she had a vague awareness and guessed that the Invincible Mercenary Team might have two alchemists, but the Lancao Mercenary Team was too dangerous. She believed that as long as the mercenary ranking competition was over, the vicious second-rate mercenary team would After finding them, she didn't have time to think so much.
The others knew the whole story, and their eyes were spitting fire when they looked at Lancao. On the contrary, Li Dailan Xiangfeng was the calmest.
Lan Xiangfeng looked at Li Dai and asked, "What should we do now?"
After hearing this, Li Dai smiled. The sincerity of her smile made Lan Cao scared, but she heard her say, "Aren't we going to attack the second-rate mercenary team? There are just a few people in the Invincible Mercenary Team now. Since Lan Cao mercenaries The team sincerely joins us, so there is no reason to refuse." Looking at the twinkling eyes of a man as big as Lancao, Li Dai threw the last thunderbolt, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, from the moment you talked about the map, I have set up a barrier around it, so your desire to spread the news to everyone may be in vain."
"You, you, you!" What a profound calculation!
Could this delicate young man be the invisible alchemist who detoxified the poisonous pill from the poisonous mother-in-law?
How could she know that the poison elixir that Tanlang obtained from the Huya mercenary team could be too powerful? It was just a matter of complexity. Deng Hu even kept the powerful one for himself.
Of course, if Deng Hu knew that Tanlang used those pills to deal with the invincible mercenary team with Li Dai, he probably wouldn't be so worried and just took some poisonous pills with complicated solutions and sent them away.
Not to mention those things, Lan Cao thought Li Dai's behavior at the beginning was calculated, but in fact she was really wronged. Li Dai didn't know what Lan Cao was going to say next. What she did was just a habit of being cautious in her words and deeds for many years.
Even if she wasn't discussing a map, she would set up a barrier so that no one else could hear anything.
After all that needed to be said, Li Dai clapped her hands, "Okay, now that the alliance has been formed, go and call the people from the Lancao mercenary team and have an alliance ceremony!" Although Lancao has plotted against the Invincible mercenary team, if From her point of view, Li Dai can understand it, but understanding is understanding, and Li Dai is not going to let it go. She believes that Nian Yin will make the same decision as her.
As for the Lancao mercenary team, since they have made a plan, don't even think about escaping unscathed. It just so happens that the Invincible mercenary team has a few people and lacks goons. The mercenary team that Lancao led wholeheartedly collapsed, allowing them to truly become the members of the Invincible mercenary team. People are probably the biggest punishment for her.
Sure enough, after listening to Li Dai's words, Lan Cao's face turned pale, and she really looked a bit bleak. She never expected that the fake refuge just to get rid of the temporary predicament would turn into a real refuge. Lan Cao's servant Once the soldiers became a member of the Invincible Mercenary Team, she was nothing. Although she didn't care about her identity as captain, she was still heartbroken to see the Blue Grass Mercenary Team she had worked so hard to build disintegrate.
She wanted to refuse, but suddenly a majestic pressure came down. She couldn't say a word. She looked at Li Dai in horror, but saw her bright smile like a flower, and her voice seemed to come from the sky, ringing in the air. In her ears, those words not only entered her ears, but also entered her heart.
She just heard her say, "You won't lose if you join the Invincible Mercenary Team!" It wasn't until many years later, when the Invincible Mercenary Team became a being respected and feared by all the major forces, that she truly understood the meaning of this sentence.
Lan Cao went back in confusion. Nian Yu looked at her leaving figure and frowned, "Just let her go back?"
Li Dai raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said in a clear and calm voice, "Don't worry, she will come back."
Even so, the people in the Invincible Mercenary Team were puzzled by Li Dai's final decision. Why did Lancao want to use them, but Li Dai generously allowed them to join in. They didn't think that without the Lancao Mercenary Team, it would be impossible. Can't beat the second-rate mercenary team.
Now that the strength has become stronger overnight, even those who are as calm as the invincible mercenary team can't help but feel a little swollen, but they haven't noticed it yet.
But Li Dai saw all this clearly, and finally decided to let people from the Lancao mercenary team join. Not only did she see that their group of people was good in nature, but she also wanted to strengthen the invincible mercenary team.
Of course, there is still the intention to let the people from the Blue Grass Mercenary Team join in and beat everyone.
After all, their cultivation level was brought up by the time formation and elixirs. I haven't noticed that they will have an inflated mentality, so it's not because their mental state can't keep up.
What's more, the recruitment of the Lancao mercenary team was indeed the biggest blow to the Lancao who plotted against them. It simply served multiple purposes with one stone, and she had no reason to turn them away.
Of course, the main reason is that the Invincible Mercenary Team has more people and is stronger. With her own people, she can get more elixirs in return, and she is one step closer to the plan in her heart.
Of course, these are not enough to be humane to outsiders.
The people from the Lancao mercenary team here looked at Lancao who came back and looked wrong, and they were also worried. A dark and thin girl asked, "But they refused to wait for me?"
Lancao was speechless, "No!" However, she was the only one who knew the calculations in her heart, but now she couldn't tell her. What's more, her sisters are really straight women, and even monks don't have such complicated thoughts. and Wanwanchangzhi, so she thinks and makes decisions independently on many things that require careful planning, and they won't object.
Even though they didn't agree with her at first about joining the Invincible Mercenaries this time, after she actually did it, they supported her unconditionally. How could she not want to keep such a group of sisters?
Thinking of the pressure Li Dai unleashed in the end, Lan Cao felt better. Isn't it a good thing that such a strong man didn't plan to succeed? Maybe it's as Li Dai said, and the matter of joining the Invincible Mercenary Team may not be as bad as imagined. .
Not to mention those things, Lancao figured it out and felt a lot better. She went to the Invincible Mercenary Team several times to finalize everything. The two parties had established an alliance.
But when we actually made the contract, I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.
