Chapter 114 The shock of the mercenaries
After listening to Lei Xiao's question, Lin thought about it for a moment, and then replied: "Back to the lord, the former city lord of Kongqing Town has nothing to do with our Shanglu family."
"And the senior members of the family will naturally not know that I have signed a contract with you, and they should continue to order me to run this branch."
Nodding respectfully to Lei Xiao, Lin continued: "As for the trade fair guards who came with me, Lord, please rest assured, they are all my own people I brought from my hometown, and they are very loyal."
"Very good. You can freely distribute the rare treasures collected by the previous city lord. You can achieve the achievements of this branch and lay a solid foundation for our next layout."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao showed a satisfied look and added: "If there are any problems with funds, please mention it to me at any time."
It is conceivable that as long as Lin can sit on the top of the Shanglu family, this huge power of the kingdom's wealthy families can naturally be used by him.
Before that, Lin was undoubtedly a wedge she had driven between the Phytolacca family and the Cold Flame Kingdom, allowing her to obtain first-hand intelligence resources at any time.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then said: "In addition, the trade fair guards under your command will be rewarded with 200 golden dragons each, and the treatment will be doubled on the current basis to further consolidate their loyalty."< br>
"Yes, Lord!" Lin, who had solved the performance problem, looked happy and bowed again.
Next, Lei Xiao, Lin and Fang Hai finalized a series of other complicated issues about Kongqing Town, until the two left and started working separately.
At this point, tonight's events can be considered to have come to an end.
After that, Lei Xiao simply arranged for everyone to rest in the city lord's mansion for the night. When the white fish belly appeared in the east, he got up from the bed in the room where he had confirmed that it was safe.
Of course, the first thing you need to do after getting up is to swallow a Qi Condensing Pill.
Since he has been promoted to the second level, his control over the power of the medicine has been greatly improved, coupled with the experience of refining it many times before.
Therefore, without much effort, Lei Xiao slowly opened his eyes as he exhaled a puff of turbid air.
At this time, a ray of light flashed through Lei Xiao's dark and bright eyes, which undoubtedly showed that his strength had once again risen to a new level.
"Have you reached the second level and three stars..."
After checking the lord attribute column, Lei Xiao couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face.
After getting dressed, Lei Xiao walked out of the door in high spirits.
"Lord, you are awake."
Just as he walked out of the door, Nan Yue's voice reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Nanyue, haven't you slept all night?" Looking at the twin sisters standing guard for him at the door, Lei Xiao couldn't help but get closer and asked with concern.
"No, Lord Lord, Nan Xing and I take turns."
Nanyue's ears were a little red and she smiled shyly.
"Okay, don't just stand there stupidly, come with me and see what everyone else is doing."
Pulling Nan Yue's arm, Lei Xiao immediately started walking toward the lobby on the first floor.
Returning to the hall, Lei Xiao discovered.
At this time, the hall had been cleaned again, and a dozen young and pretty maids were hard at work wiping the blood in the corner. When they saw Lei Xiao coming, they all bowed and saluted, their eyes filled with gratitude.
Lei Xiao had already gotten to know these maids last night, and they had been tortured by the previous city lord.
Therefore, proper arrangements have been made for them, and a lot of golden dragons have been distributed, which is enough to ensure that they and their families have enough food and clothing.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, Lin and Fang Hai, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately came to greet them.
"For your information, Lord, the strongholds of the three mercenary groups including Squid Bones have been cleared out by my subordinates. The individual remnants who are on missions in other places have also issued corresponding wanted orders."
I saw Fang Hai, who had changed into a set of bright brocade robes, his face still full of red. He first bowed and saluted: "In addition, my subordinates have made contact with the heads of various mercenary groups in the city. They will collectively gather together in half an hour." Meet the lord.”
"Lord, the matter of inviting merchant representatives that you ordered before has been completed by my subordinates."
Lin followed closely and took a step forward, performing a standard knightly etiquette: "Kumbu and other business representatives will meet in an hour."
"Very good." After listening to the two reports, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
As long as the merchants in the city are stabilized, wait for opportunities to win over, and then confirm the situation of the garrison with Guan Zhong and others, the matter in Kongqing Town can be brought to an end for the time being.
"Lord, breakfast is ready. I baked the bread myself..."
Immediately, accompanied by a pungent burnt smell, a cheerful face flew towards Lei Xiao holding a plate of unknown black objects.
……
Next, after eating the breakfast prepared by Nanxing, he gave Chaoyan a chestnut.
Sitting on the throne, Lei Xiao welcomed his first guests, the heads of the major mercenary groups in the city.
When all the mercenaries entered the hall, Lei Xiao discovered it.
There are fifty or sixty mercenaries at the bottom, and they are still dressed in various fancy styles as seen at the city gate.
At first glance, it was densely packed, and the two strong men at the head both exuded a good aura. It seemed that they had reached the level of third-level powerhouses.
Moreover, there were many faces that Lei Xiao had seen before at the city gate, and they were considered old acquaintances.
On the other side, from the moment they entered the hall, all the mercenaries looked shocked and did not have the courage to raise their heads at all.
Because the hall was filled with an almost suffocating atmosphere of terror.
At this time, on the left and right sides of Lei Xiao were Huzhang and Ye Cang.
Further down, there are Nan Xing, Nan Yue and Chao Yan who looks aggrieved.
Finally, there are Lin and Fang Hai.
The monstrous momentum exuded by a fifth-level strongman, a fourth-level strongman, and five third-level strongmen.
Even the mercenaries like them, who lick blood from the tip of their swords all day long, can't help but feel terrified to the core!
This sense of awe that arises from the bottom of my heart is like the arrival of a king.
Waving his hand to signal Huzhang and others to calm down a little, Lei Xiao first said: "You don't have to be so restrained. I guess some people here are no strangers to me, right?"
Hearing Lei Xiao's plain yet meaningful voice, he also felt the pressure in the hall gradually easing.
Only then did all the mercenaries raise their heads and look up at Lei Xiao on the throne.
Almost at the same time, everyone once again showed expressions of disbelief. They didn't expect that the man who had eradicated the powerful former city lord's group was so young!
The mercenaries who were lucky enough to see the true faces of Lei Xiao and others at the city gate before were all stunned on the spot, unable to speak at all.
After a while, I saw an old man dressed in tattered robes and with a face as dry as tree bark, and then he exclaimed: "How...how could it be you?!"
