.Chapter 273: Feng Xing
"That's how it is. How do you all think I should answer them? Should I join Feng Yang's army to become a formal soldier, or continue to be a mercenary in our old business?" As soon as Ye Kaihuai left, Bai Lie called all his subordinates over, said what Ye Kaihuai said to him to his subordinates, and then asked about their opinions.
"Boss, which path do you plan to choose? I will choose whatever you choose, boss?" a subordinate said to Bai Lie.
"Yes, the boss decides. We will choose whatever the boss chooses." Someone said in agreement.
Bai Lie smiled, "I'll choose? OK, then I'll choose. You can agree in advance. You won't take it after I choose it."
"That's natural, you won't harm us anyway, boss."
"Okay, then I decided to continue to be mercenaries." Bai Lie said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, some were happy and some were disappointed. Bai Lie saw it. After he finished reading everyone's expressions, Bai Lie named his subordinates little by little and left behind his disappointed subordinates.
"Why? Don't you really want to be a mercenary?" Bai Lie asked kindly.
"..." The man who was asked opened his mouth and did not speak.
"Don't feel embarrassed. Everyone has their own ambitions. If you don't want to be mercenaries anymore and want to join Feng Yang's army, as the boss, I won't be angry with you. On the contrary, I want to remind you that after joining Feng Yang's army, you will be formal soldiers. If you violate military rules, it will not be as humane as in the mercenary group. You must remember this clearly."
"Boss, I don't want to join Feng Yangjun." A subordinate said in a low voice.
"What did you just say?"
"I said, I don't want to join Feng Yangjun."
"Then what did you do when I announced my continued success as a mercenary?"
"I'm not disappointed?"
"Are you not disappointed? There are two words written on your face, and now you are also disappointed."
"Boss, my face is born like this." My subordinate said a little aggrievedly.
"..." Bai Lie was speechless for a moment and turned to ask the others: "Where are you? Don't tell me that you are the same as this kid."
"Boss... I don't want to join Feng Yang's army, nor do I want to be a mercenary anymore. I..." One of the subordinates who was asked thought for a while and said to Bai Lie.
"You want to quit?"
"Well, I want to have a few days of stable life."
"... Everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't force you. Just live here in Fengyang. Here, at least we can take care of you so that you will not be bullied by others. And this is being newly built. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, there are many opportunities to make money."
"Thank you, boss."
"You're welcome. From now on, we're still brothers. If you have any difficulties, come to me. If you can't find me, look for Macy. We will definitely find a way to help you solve it."
"Boss..."
"Okay, a real man should not cry." Bai Lie patted his moved subordinates and asked the remaining people: "What about you? Do you want to live a few days of stable life like this kid?"
"...Yes, boss." The person who was asked answered honestly.
"Since this is the case, I wish you all the best. Don't be busy with your own way. I will go back and ask the Lord to arrange for you. As for your brothers, I also hope that you will not hide anything from them. We are living a lifelong friendship and there is nothing we can't say."
"Yes, boss, we'll tell those guys what we think about in a while."
Bai Lie went to Ye Kaihuai's lounge alone.
"Who is standing?" Before Bai Lie could approach, two taurus warriors holding steel crossbows walked out of the shadow of the nearby room. Judging from the posture, as long as Bai Lie had a slight movement, the crossbow arrow could shoot his head through.
"Don't misunderstand, I am Bai Lie. If you have any questions, you should look for the lord." Bai Lie quickly raised his hands to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings, and replied loudly.
"Wait here, don't move around." A tauren whistled into the nearby room, and two tauren warriors walked out of the room. Looking at the posture and equipment, they were in the same group as the two taurens who had just appeared, two were responsible for the whistle and two were responsible for the secret whistle. No, maybe more than two secret whistle. For a moment, Bai Lie felt that there were still several pairs of eyes staring at him in the darkness.
"How many secret whistles do you have here?" Bai Lie couldn't help asking the three taurens who were watching over him. The three taurens did not answer, but looked at Bai Lie coldly, and then held the steel crossbow in his hand tighter. Bai Lie, who had been asking for trouble, did not speak anymore.
Until the Tauren who had been informed before came back, there was another Tauren who came with the Tauren. Bai Lie knew the Tauren, and it was Salam.
"Hi, Salam." Salam, who was rushing over, greeted.
"Captain Bai, I don't know what if you are looking for the Lord so late?" Salam nodded politely to Bai Lie, and then asked Bai Lie.
"Oh, wasn't this the Lord Lord telling me to decide my future? My subordinates and I have made a decision. Now come back to report to you."
"So, come with me." Salam nodded and led Bai Lie to Ye Kaihuai's wooden house.
"Salam, you have done your protection work carefully, not only with open whistles, but also with secret whistles. Alas, how many secret whistles have you arranged in total? Anyway, I think it should be more than the people I have seen."
"Captain Bai, my master taught us that before the last moment, we must not show all our trump cards. Are you satisfied with my answer?"
"Satisfied, satisfied. You are really cautious." Bai Lie said with a dry smile.
"Please don't take it seriously. The Lord's personality is definitely aware of the Lord. We don't want something to happen to the Lord, so if there is something to offend, please don't be surprised by the Lord."
"I am happy, I am envious of you, and I am happy that Lord Lord has you loyal subordinates."
Salam smiled and didn't say anything. Bai Lie was also very clever and did not ask about their guards anymore. The two of them came to Ye Kaihuai's wooden house without saying a word.
Salam stepped forward and knocked on the door gently: "Sir, have you rested?"
"No. Is it Salaam? Come in and talk." Ye Kaihuai's voice came from the room.
"Yes." Salam pushed open the door and stood at the door to report: "Sir, Captain Bai is asking for a meeting if you have something to do."
"Oh, please come in."
Salam let out his body and exposed Bai Lie who was standing behind him, while he turned around and left. Bai Lie walked into the room and the first thing he saw was Ye Kaihuai sitting in the main seat, with a beautiful woman sitting on both sides.
"Old Bai, you are here just right. Come and sit down. It's just three missing one. When you come, we'll play upgrades. You and my family." Ye Kaihuai reached out to Bai Lie and greeted him.
"Oh, oh." Bai Lie sat opposite Ye Kaihuai and asked Ye Kaihuai: "Yezi, don't you introduce these two beauties to me?"
"Oh, yes, this beautiful woman is called Lin Ruoxi, and she is my fiancée. The little beauty is called Lin Xiruo, and she is also my fiancée. They both came here to send supplies and take a look at me by the way. By the way, don't stand there and catch cards."
"Oh, it turns out they are the two future lord wives, so they are rude." Bai Lie said politely to the Lin sisters while drawing cards.
"You don't have to be polite, Captain Bai, your name has also been mentioned to us, saying that you are an interesting person." Lin Ruoxi said with a smile.
"Interesting person?" Bai Lie looked at Ye Kaihuai, wondering how this guy arranged himself with his wife.
"Well, Lao Bai, what's the matter with me? Let's talk while playing." Ye Kaihuai asked Bai Lie with guilt.
"Oh, didn't you propose two plans to resettle us with me? I and my subordinates have already discussed it."
"What's your decision?"
"Some people are willing to follow me to continue working as mercenaries, and some people want to wash their hands and stop washing them. I'm here to see you because you want to hear what you want us to do next, and I want to ask you to help take care of those who plan to wash their hands and not do it."
"It's no problem to help you take care of those who plan to wash your hands and settle here. As long as they can obey Fengyang's laws, no one will bully them. As for what you said you want you to do next, I want to ask you first, if you were asked to recruit old subordinates in the Pegasus Mercenary Group, how many can you recruit?"
"...This, let me think about it."
"Okay, think about it slowly." Ye Kaihuai put down the cards in his hand and looked at Bai Lie quietly. Lin Ruoxi and Lin Xiruo also put down the cards, cleaned up the table, nodded with Ye Kaihuai, opened the door and went back to the room to rest.
"It can probably attract half of it." Bai Lie said to Ye Kaihuai.
"Half? This should be your conservative estimate, right?"
"Um."
"How many of these half of the people are completely trusted? You must know that the task of exploring news from other countries is very dangerous. The fewer people know, the better."
"It's less than a quarter of the people left. I don't trust the rest, but those who didn't keep the door in their mouths. Maybe they would accidentally leak it out."
"Yes, it's always good to be cautious. Those who you think you can trust should not take the initiative to tell them these things. If they doubt it, tell them again and tell them, keep it confidential."
"I understand this, then when are you going to let me establish a mercenary group?"
"Of course, the faster the better. I will give you two million gold coins first as the initial fund for the establishment of the mercenary group. In the future, the remuneration for the tasks done by the mercenary group will be distributed by you. Every time you hear important information, Feng Yangling will also pay the corresponding remuneration. The fewer people know about our relationship, the safer you will be."
"Then what is the name of our newly built mercenary group?"
