Chapter 321 Change Career

Xu Ren and Xia Qingqing's plane slowly landed on the mountainside of Yunding Mountain. Today's Yunding Mountain is only howling with the mountain wind, and a small thatched hut in the mountain seems to be trembling in the mountain wind.

In front of the thatched hut, there is still some farmland, where some vegetables are planted; a woman in a coarse cloth is working hard.

"Mother." Xia Qingqing stepped forward and helped the working woman up.

Who would have thought that the once aloof Empress of the Great Xia Kingdom would now be self-reliant.

When mother and daughter met, the former queen looked at the current Princess Anyang, and was speechless for a while.

Xia Qingqing took her mother's somewhat rough hand, and said with sourness and expectation: "Mother, let's go to Anyang; we will come back here after Daxia Kingdom is stabilized again."

The former empress Xiao Yu looked at Xia Qingqing whose face was glowing with happiness, and smiled softly, "Mother, I'm afraid I will cause you trouble."

Yes, after all, Xiao Yu was once the Queen of the Great Xia Kingdom, if she went to Anyang, it would be no small matter. If this matter is not handled well, it can bring a lot of trouble to Anyang.

Xia Qingqing couldn't make up her mind, so she could ask Xu Ren for help at this time.

Xu Ren smiled and said: "Anyang advocates filial piety, and the princess takes back his mother, who dares to say a word of gossip."

Yeah, just to bring back "a mother", not a "queen". What Xu Ren said was very clear, Xiao Yu and Xia Qingqing, the mother and daughter, also understood it.

"Mother, let's go with my daughter." Xia Qingqing held her mother's hand, her eyes full of longing and pleading.

Xiao Yu looked at Xia Qingqing, and finally nodded slowly, without any hypocritical rejection. In this divided and war-torn land, it is not safe to live here alone. Even Xiao Yu himself is a master of the Golden Core Stage, but considering Xiao Yu's identity, the Golden Core Stage is not in this chaotic era. How much self-preservation ability.

Now, there are two best places for Xiao Yu to go: one is Anyang, and the other is to go home, that is, to return to his father Xiao Liming. But from the perspective of a mother, going to Anyang is Xiao Yu's best choice. At least Xia Qingqing didn't participate in the hegemony and intrigue, and could be by Xiao Yu's side; besides, Anyang is also the best environment now.

Seeing that the matter here was settled, Xu Ren bid farewell and went down the mountain to look for Fu Minghui. It is thanks to Fu Minghui's protection that Empress Xiao Yu can live here. Fu Minghui led his tens of thousands of imperial forest troops to station here in the name of guarding the imperial mausoleum, and did not take refuge in any side.

The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince have all recruited Fu Minghui, but Fu Minghui has always been firmly guarding around the imperial tomb. Now, Xu Ren came to recruit on behalf of Anyang. However, Xu Ren had several plans in his hands.

But at this moment, Fu Minghui was sighing. The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in the imperial mausoleum are still very difficult. Now the area around Yunding Mountain belongs to the area occupied by the First Prince. In order to force Fu Minghui to soften, the First Prince even ordered the surrounding area to be sealed off, so that the tens of thousands of soldiers can only obtain food among the high mountains. .

Now dozens of days have passed, and the lives of soldiers have become more and more difficult. Although they are all cultivators, no one likes to suffer; besides, lack of clothing and food for a long time is not always a solution, and the morale of the army has begun to slacken.

Fu Minghui gently closed the roster in his hand. In yesterday's day, more than two hundred soldiers disappeared; needless to say, they all sneaked away. For this, Fu Minghui had no good solution.

But Fu Minghui didn't even look at the eldest prince's solicitation. "Even if I die, I won't seek refuge with the First Prince!"

Fu Minghui had his own bottom line in life. The first prince had framed the Imperial Forest Army back then, almost annihilating the entire Imperial Forest Army. Fu Minghui himself was almost captured or killed. This matter would never be let go just like that.

As long as Fu Minghui was able to persevere, so could the remaining 3,000 elite imperial guards at the beginning; but the 7,000 recruits recruited later could not persevere. Especially since the relatives of many soldiers are still in Wuyang City and other places, these soldiers can't stay here anymore.

Today, of the tens of thousands of imperial forest troops brought out by Fu Minghui from Wuyang City, there are less than 6,000 left; the rest have run away. It's okay to run away, and you can save food; Fu Minghui thought happily.

Just as he was thinking about it, Sima (quartermaster) in the army came in and reported carefully: "General, we don't have enough salt, and we can only last until tomorrow morning at most."

Fu Minghui's face immediately darkened; the lack of food is okay, there is food everywhere in the mountains and plains; but there is a problem without salt. Cultivators are also human beings. It’s okay to not eat or drink for three to five days, but if they don’t eat or drink for more than ten days, even if the body can resist it, the morale of the army will be completely lost.

"How about dismissing all the soldiers and giving everyone a way to survive?" Fu Minghui felt a little desolate in his heart. As a former general of the Yulin Army, Fu Minghui had feelings for the Great Xia Kingdom, and it was almost impossible for Fu Minghui to surrender. But now it seems that without surrender, there is almost no way out!

While worrying, a soldier came in: "General, Xu Ren is asking to see you."

Xu Ren? Fu Minghui's eyes narrowed immediately, as if he was thinking and calculating. After about a cup of tea, Fu Minghui asked the soldiers to bring Xu Ren in.

Let's talk about Xu Ren walking all the way, he heard the voices of complaints from the army, and his eyes flashed with joy; after seeing Fu Minghui, he didn't say any words of greeting, but just went straight to the point: "General Fu, how is the development in Anyang?"

Fu Minghui smiled: "Mr. Xu, I am the general of the Imperial Forest Army of the Great Xia Kingdom. You all rebelled in Anyang, and Li Yulong was the first to raise the flag of rebellion. Now you still want to recruit me? Do you think I will agree?

Besides, even if I agree, many of the relatives of the officers and soldiers are in Wuyang County, which is a big problem. "

Xu Ren shook the feather fan in his hand, coquettishly: "General Fu, you didn't hear me clearly. I invited the general to develop in Anyang, not to seek refuge in Anyang. The general has heard of the 'Adventure and Mercenary Association' and the 'Mercenary Association' recently." corps'?"

"No!" Fu Minghui said simply. The First Prince sent troops to completely seal off the place, let alone supplies, not even information. Xu Ren could come here only with flying planes flying high and high, and with the protection of Nascent Soul stage masters.

Xu Ren had been prepared for a long time, and immediately took out a jade slip, "The general will understand after reading this jade slip."

There is a lot of information in the Jade Slips, but Fu Minghui is a master of the Golden Core Stage after all, so he finished it quickly; after reading it, he pondered for a while, "Mr. Xu, do you have any suggestions?"

"It's very simple!" Xu Ren threw out an argument first, and then gave the method: "As long as you lead your men to transform into a mercenary group, you can come and go freely. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, you can ask all the mercenaries or Adventurers call for help. You are now trapped in the mountains by the First Prince, but as long as you have an adventurer in the Nascent Soul stage guarding you, you can break through safely."

"But we are not supporting soldiers now." Fu Minghui was already moved.

Supporting soldiers is indeed a good path, especially for Fu Minghui now. Fu Minghui was burdened by his past status and so on; the way of the mercenary regiment was the best way out for the Imperial Forest Army.

"Is it going to happen step by step? You need to issue a mission now to let other adventurers or mercenary groups come to rescue you. After you enter the Anyang territory, you can register as adventurers and mercenary groups. Then what? , you can walk around.

Anyone can post tasks in the Adventure and Mercenary Association, but all commissions need to be paid at one time; if the final task cannot be completed, the association will refund all commissions.

However, be careful, if you maliciously release missions that cannot be completed, or some evil missions, once you find out, you will be hunted down by all the supporters and adventurers. "

"But I can't get to Anyang now!" Fu Minghui's expression turned a little ugly - you must be playing with me.

Xu Ren laughed, "Don't worry, how could the association fail to consider unexpected situations. You can entrust others to issue tasks on your behalf; for example, you can entrust me."

Fu Minghui looked at Xu Ren, very vigilant: "I heard that Anyang only recognizes money but not people. I don't know how much it will cost to release the task? Master Xu, who is sending the task on behalf of you, how much do you need?"

Xu Ren was not embarrassed and annoyed when he heard this, but he laughed, "Even the upright General Fu thinks so. He thinks that Anyang recognizes money but not people. It seems that Anyang's image has been successfully created. However, since General Fu is so Say, I can't be too generous."

"No, you'd better be more generous." Fu Minghui was beating his heart; regardless of whether Fu Minghui is now a master of Jindan stage or a general, Fu Minghui really doesn't have much wealth in his hands. When he left Wuyang City in a hurry, the little wealth he brought with him has been paid as military pay.

"Hmm..." Xu Ren squeezed his chin, "General Fu, in fact, as long as you mortgage yourself, you can get a loan of at least 200,000 taels of gold from the bank. The status of Jindanqi is worth 100,000 taels of gold. The qualification is worth 100,000 taels of gold. How about it?"

"Purchasing yourself?" Fu Minghui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I said, you are really unscrupulous in recruiting talents in Anyang."

"No, no, you are wrong. After mortgaging yourself, you have three years to repay the loan; if you cannot repay after three years, you must do something for Anyang, but after repayment, you can still be free. The core of Anyang's pursuit is 'Win-win', not disgusting to everyone."

"Oh... Those who mortgaged themselves, once they couldn't pay off the loan, were they arranged for some dangerous work?"

"Of course not!" Xu Ren's tone seemed a little angry, "Those who can't repay the loan will be given corresponding jobs according to their abilities. Of course, the more dangerous the job, the higher the pay, and you can choose freely."

"Okay, okay, I blamed you guys, okay? Then tell me, if I issue a mission, how much gold do I need?"

"No, no, you got the order wrong." Xu Ren shook his feather fan, "After releasing the mission, you provide the mission information, mission difficulty, danger, and set your own price. But one thing to note, if you provide mission information If there is too much difference from the danger of the task, or even provide false information, then you are likely to be hunted down by adventurers, soldiers, etc. "

Fu Minghui immediately asked: "There is a problem here.

First, I release the task reward myself. What happens if the price is too low or too high?

Second, some task information is not known to the person who released it, or the information obtained is not accurate, so what should I do? "

Xu Ren waved his feather fan, still very coquettish: "You think too much, since you want to create an 'Adventure and Mercenary Association', these small things have already been considered.

First of all, the issue of remuneration is very simple. If the remuneration you publish is too low, no one will receive the task; if no one receives the task within a certain period of time, it will either be revoked or the reward will be increased.

If the reward is too high, the task will be picked up immediately. However, once the reward for posting a task is determined and received, it cannot be changed.

Second, there is the so-called information. If the task issuer also has problems with the information, it needs to be specially marked; if the specific situation is completely unknown, then you can choose to hide the information. But a task without any prompt at all may not be claimed by anyone.

Moreover, once the task causes too many casualties or is too difficult, the association will inevitably investigate and hold accountable, and finally even issue a hunting mission. "

"Good method." Fu Minghui admired with a little sarcasm, "Then please refer to Mr. Xu, if I issue a task and invite a master from the Nascent Soul Stage, how much gold will it cost?"

"200,000 taels of gold. Because to take you out of here, you need the strength of the First Prince."

"Hey, 200,000 taels of gold, it's just right for me to pledge myself. Well, please ask Mr. Xu to release the task for you."

"Extremely happy!"
