Mercenaries know that licking blood on their heads is not a good person. In order to grab business, there are some contradictions between them. What about those who have business are mercenaries, and when they have no business, they are often a guest starring robbers. The target of robbers is often the customers of other mercenaries.

This time, the protection of Suye City was profitable, but not every mercenary group gained a lot. Some mercenary groups won by number of people, but not many masters, so the number of people selected was limited. Although some mercenary groups were not large in number, there were many masters, and there were more people selected.

In this large team, with Liang Xiao’s constraints, there will be no problem for the time being. Once disbanded, will the mercenary groups with strong overall strength but not enough money be given to them be jealous of other people’s gains and will be hard to tell if they force themselves to grab one.

Without Liang Xiao deliberately provoking, the mercenaries had already realized the danger. The team sense that they had finally cultivated disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, they were divided into several small groups, and their desire to be wary of each other was obvious.

The spirit frowns frowned and looks at Liang Xiao in confusion. Liang Xiao didn't say anything, raised his glass, greeted everyone, drank the wine in the glass, walked out of the mercenaries' tent, held his hands behind his back, and left on his own.

The snow creaked, monotonous and cold, like a crystalline ice needle in the tree, piercing deep into people's hearts.

"Sir, why remind them now?" Guo Wenbin was very puzzled.

"The battle is over. It doesn't matter if they are not." Liang Xiao whispered as he walked: "But if you want to twist them into a rope, you must make them realize the danger first. Only when you feel the danger will they follow me tightly."

"Sir, want to continue to control them?"

"Without enough power to protect us, how can we go back to the big man?"

Guo Wenbin nodded and was about to speak. Liang Xiao reached out to stop him. Guo Wenbin was puzzled, but he still closed his mouth. After a while, the footsteps sounded, and the spirit fox chased after him. "Sir, sir."

Liang Xiao turned around and looked at Linghu with a smile. "Is there anything wrong?"

"Sir, walk so slowly. Are you just waiting for me?" The spirit fox walked up to him, took a breath, and smiled bitterly: "Sir, you can't do this. You can pick up the heads of the Huns. It's hard to say how many heads we own can hold. Maybe we will have to get a few more bodies in the valley when we wake up tomorrow morning."

"Haha." Liang Xiao smiled. He reached out and held the Linghu's hand. "Go and talk in the tent."

They came to the tent, and Beta and Xiya burned the tent to a great extent. They were talking to Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo. When they saw Liang Xiao coming back, they followed Linghu and quickly stood up to prepare for food and drink. Liang Xiao pulled Linghu to his seat, but did not tell what had happened just now, but instead asked about Linghu's experience.

"Where are you from? How long have you been a mercenary?"

"I am Sairen and grew up in this area since I was a child." The spirit fox stretched out his hand and roasted it on the fire. "However, my master is a Han Chinese and taught me to read a little, so I am a little more familiar with Chinese and Han Chinese than them. Because of this, my business is going smoothly. In short, it's been three years."

"You have good abilities in Suye City in three years. If you have a place in Suye City, you have good abilities. If you have such good abilities, are you willing to be a mercenary forever?"

"What if I'm not willing to give up?" Linghu smiled bitterly: "The people of Dayuan do not value martial arts, and in their eyes they are barbarians. The Huns and Wusuns welcome me, but they fight every day. Most of the gains belong to the powerful and powerful. Ordinary warriors can only make a living, so it's better to be mercenaries."

"Are the mercenaries really comfortable? I think you are not very comfortable."

"Mercenaries are not really free. Even if they are prosperous for a while, they will not be able to last for a long time. According to my observation, mercenaries will not be allowed to enter the industry for an average of five years. They will either be injured or disabled or be killed directly. If they can do more than ten years, only one or two people will be killed. Once they are injured or killed, their families can only live on savings and the help of their friends. It would be great if they can have food and clothing."

"Does it die more in the hands of bandits, or do it die more in the hands of colleagues?"

"It's almost the same." Linghu thought about it and said again: "If some bandits were originally peers, maybe they would have to have more peers."

"Since that's the case, why don't you unite and form a mercenary group to make unified allocations? This will not only prevent each other from slashing prices, but also avoid being attacked from being attacked from behind."

"It's not that I didn't think of such a thing." Linghu shook his head. "First, the mercenaries are used to being free and don't like to be restrained. Second, there are only so many businesses, and they can't support so many people. They can only compete with each other and share less of the money."

Liang Xiao smiled. "In my opinion, the first reason is valid, and the second reason is probably just imagination."

"Why do you say that by your sir?"

"Have you organized it?"

"No, but everyone knows how many merchants and mercenaries there are in Suye City..."

"That's just what you see." Liang Xiao interrupted the spirit fox. "Have you ever thought that if your strength is strong enough to do business that you could not do before, you can do it now? For example, if you help Lord Creon defend the city like this, no one would dare to take it before."

"This..." Linghu was speechless for a moment, his eyes rolled a few times, and he clapped his hands in depression. "What the adults said is, we did not think about this. However, if the adults did not come forward this time, we might not be able to organize it. The mercenaries have a high opinion of themselves, and one is not convinced, and no one can bring everyone together. If we want to form a mercenary group, unless the adults..."

Liang Xiao smiled. "I don't have such strong financial resources, you are too expensive. You know, I have paid off all my money and only enough to pay your deposit. The rest of the money is not something I paid, but you earned it yourself."

The spirit fox frowned, stared at Liang Xiao for a while, and suddenly bowed. "Sir, I understand. I'll go back and discuss with them. If I can convince them, please don't dislike us vulgarity and take us to make a fortune together."

Liang Xiao smiled without saying a word and raised his wine glass. Linghu was a smart man, so it was perfect for him to test the mercenaries.

The spirit fox left. Liang Xiao asked someone to call Li Shuyun and Old Andrew over and tell them what they plan.

When the old Andrew heard this, he slapped his thigh. "Sir, why bother to find these mercenaries? They don't know how to fight at all. Sir, I need more staff, so I can recruit more old brothers."

Liang Xiao smiled. "Of course your old brothers need to recruit. However, you are all old and should not charge in the battle anymore. It is better to leave this to young people."

"Sir, are you looking down on us?" Old Andrew was a little unhappy.

"Old Andrew. It's not that I look down on you, but that there are tasks that are more important than fighting for you."

"What mission is more important than combat?"

"Escort me to Greece."

Old Andrew was stunned for a moment, staring at Liang Xiao with his eyes fixed on him. "Greece?"

"Yes, I want to go to Greece." Liang Xiao smiled. "The business of protecting merchants is done by the mercenaries. I want to take you to Greece and see your dreams in the homeland. I am the emperor's envoy, the emperor's eyes. If possible, I will still travel all over the world. Without your protection, how could I go so far?"

Old Andrew was already fainted and had no idea what Liang Xiao was talking about.

Although he always claimed to be a Greek, he had never been to Greece. He had settled in Daxia since his grandfathers. Greece was just a legend to them, and even the language was not pure enough, mixed with many local languages ​​from Dayuan. Suddenly, Liang Xiao said he wanted to take them to Greece, just as the gods of Mount Olympus suddenly came to the world. He had a blank mind except to worship on the ground.

"Sir. If you can really take us to Greece, no matter how many miles we are, we will die." Old Ander said, kneeling in front of Liang Xiao, holding Liang Xiao's legs, and kissing Liang Xiao's knees.

Liang Xiao was startled and quickly helped Andrew up. He heard Alpha said that this kind of ritual was passed down from ancient Persia and was usually used to express surrender to God or the most noble person. After Alexander conquered Persia, in order to indicate that he was the heir to the Persian Empire, he also adopted this kind of ritual called prostration.

"Old Andrew, I know, this is your dream forever. I just hope it will be possible to help you realize it. Whether it can be realized in the end. I don't know yet. How can I afford to have such a great gift?"

Old Andrew burst into tears. "You can afford to have this heart. I originally thought that it was just a chance to save you. Now it seems that this is not accidental. It is an oracle given to me by the sun god Apollo. You are our God of Light."

Liang Xiao was very embarrassed and quickly persuaded him with kind words. It took him a long time to calm down and ask him to send him back to the bill to rest first. After Old Andrew went out, Li Shuyun, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Sir, are you really going to go to Greece?"

Liang Xiao nodded. "Yes, I plan to go to Greece. There are three reasons for me to do this. First, the Empress Dowager is still in power, and the emperor can only sting. Even if we go back to the Han Dynasty with great difficulty, it will be difficult for us to launch a war against the Huns. If the Yuezhi in Dayuan and Yuezhi have not received a response for a long time, we will inevitably be indifferent, and all our efforts will be wasted."

Li Shuyun and Guo Wenbin nodded at the same time.

"Secondly, stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade. Although Greece has perished, their stories have inspired us. How they prosper and why they perish? If we can summarize it, we can benefit a lot from it and take fewer detours."

"Third, Greece is dead, but Rome is rising. We go west and they go east, and sooner or later there will be a day of collision. The art of war says: Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be defeated in all battles. Take this opportunity to understand them more and be prepared for any eventuality. I think it is very necessary."

Li and Guo were a little confused. They could not understand Liang Xiao’s intention for the moment. One of them was an ordinary Langguan and the other was a businessman who aimed at making profits. How could they care about these major issues? However, they all believed in Liang Xiao’s vision.

"Since you are going west, why are you planning to assemble mercenaries?"

"I want Your Majesty to know what we are doing." Liang Xiao looked at the two of them. "Wenbin, you discuss with Nie Yi, organize the Han merchants in Suye City as much as possible, purchase a batch of goods, and sell them to the Han Han. Shu Yun, you lead these mercenaries to protect them, go back together, and report to the court on my behalf."

The two of them were overjoyed and agreed—
