Because he had to go out, Fan Lin also didn’t stay. That night, he went to look for Jin Yi Feng at the First Mercenary Group to discuss hiring them to escort them to the Wilderness of Chaos and Danger.
Leng Shuang and Leng Hua spent the night preparing the things they needed for the journey. By the time they had finished preparing everything, it was almost dawn. At first light, Leng Shuang entered the manor.
In comparison to everyone who had been busy preparing for the trip, Feng Jiu was taking a nap. Therefore, after having breakfast between the hours of seven and nine in the morning, she took Leng Hua and the others out of the city in a carriage.
The members of the First Mercenary Group were already waiting for them on the mountain road outside the city. They had arrived earlier, so they had been waiting for a while but still had not seen the person they were waiting for. Some of the mercenaries couldn’t help but ask: “Captain, that person only told us to wait here, and we don’t even know who our employer is. Why haven’t they arrived yet?”
Jin Yifeng, who was sitting under the tree with his eyes closed, answered without opening his eyes: “Just wait, we will find out soon.”
“Captain, we have only selected twenty brothers in the team to go into the Wilderness of Chaos and Danger. Will something happen?”
One of the mercenaries couldn’t help but ask. It was just that even though they had been to that place more than ten times, they had never dared to bring less than twenty people with them before. However, the person who had employed them said that there was no need for so many people, and that they only needed twenty people to accompany them on this trip. This really confused them.
Upon hearing this, Jin Yifeng opened his eyes, his arms still wrapped across the sword on his chest. He sat there without moving and just looked at everyone and said: “Our mission on this trip is to lead the way and offer protection. If we really do encounter danger that cannot be resolved, the employer will most likely help us. However, whether or not they have the ability to help, we can only wait till we meet them before we know.”
“Captain, what if the strength of our employer on this trip is not strong? Will we still take the mission?” One of the mercenaries asked.
“If I can’t confirm their strength, then the mission will be cancelled. Half of the commission that they have paid us will also be retained by us. So, in general, we will not make a loss, let’s wait and see!” Jin Yifeng said, then he sat there deep in thought.
The man who had come to talk to him was a man named Fan Lin from the Medicine Pavilion. He was secretly surprised when he told him of the mission and strange stipulations of the mission.
However, he didn’t tell him last night how many people they would be bringing on this trip, nor did he reveal the level of their strength to him. But as the amount of commission that he paid him was quite considerable, hence, he looked forward to the mission.
“Captain, after the mission is completed, do we not need to go on anymore missions for the rest of the year?” One of the mercenaries asked with a smile as he looked at their leader under the tree.
“Yes, we can have a rest after this mission and prepare for Chinese New Year.” Jin Yifeng looked at them and asked: “Have you sent the commission you have received back home yet?”
Upon hearing this, a burly man grinned: “After I received it last night I sent it home immediately. My wife questioned me with worry when she saw the commission and even prepared this for me.” He patted his chest and they heard a clanging sound, as if he was hitting something made out of iron.
Another man said with a smile: “I tried to put the commission under my wife’s pillow quietly when I went home last night, but she woke up unexpectedly when I turned around to leave. She wouldn’t stop talking, her face filled with worry. So I didn’t tell her that we are going to the Wilderness of Chaos and Danger, I just told her that we had accepted an escorting mission..”
