Under the afterglow, the people and horses on the bluestone wooden board were illuminated by the oblique shadow of the Daodao.

The surprise on the faces of the people present had not yet dissipated, only the evening breeze's face was calm, and his body trembled slightly.

Duke.

The closest to the existence of the emperor.

The person who came was a group of servants, there were men and women walking in the front, carrying a large sedan chair behind them, the sedan chair was full of sandalwood, and the top of the sedan chair had purple gold glaze reflecting the brilliant and dazzling colored light in the sun, and it looked extremely luxurious.

As the crowd stopped, a man came down from the car. He was dressed in a long robe, dressed in an antique manner, but in Western fashion, and the gorgeous robe was embroidered with mysterious runes with faint astigmatism.

He walked towards me with a condescending attitude, and his voice was full of coldness and disdain: "Sign, I don't have time to waste here. ”

After that, a servant behind him immediately handed over several contracts, and the man said slowly: "Jiang Cheng, Ye Yu, Cao Da, Yun Mozi, and Yuan Hai, a total of five documents, have been signed through them." ”

I subconsciously muttered, "How did Ye Yu and Yuanhai finish it so quickly?" ”

"It seems that it was a challenge when they met an easy opponent to overcome, which made them finish early." Yun Mozi whispered.

Under the strength of the man, Qingliu and Lin Wei both put on smiling faces one after another, and even Xie An rubbed his hands and didn't dare to speak.

He walked up to the butler and said with a smile, "Steward Li, has the Duke been in good health recently?" ”

"It turned out to be Count Xie An...... housekeeper glanced at Xie An out of the corner of his eye, and said indifferently, "The duke's body, is it still bad?" ”

Xie An nodded again and again: "That's true, but I really didn't expect that there would be five rich people in this small villa, I wouldn't have come over if I knew this, even if I gave me 10,000 guts, I wouldn't dare to rob people with the duke." ”

"Well, today's few people, the Duke has already asked for ......" Steward Li's words were full of the smell of fox and tiger power, and he even waved his hand to several nobles impatiently, "Where you come from, go back from where." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Several nobles did not dare to speak anymore, and hurriedly got into the car and left, for fear that if they were delayed here for a long time, they would provoke the duke.

Only the evening breeze, still standing still. Steward Li saw that the evening breeze was still not leaving, and said impatiently: "The evening breeze, why don't you leave?" ”

Evening Breeze said calmly: "I want these people." ”

"What a guts!"

Steward Li suddenly said angrily, "I've already said it, these are the people that the Duke wants, you dare to rob people with the Duke?" ”

"The whole world is not the king's land, according to the ruling treaty formulated by the emperor, I have the right to compete for these people......" Wan Feng looked at Steward Li and said in a deep voice, "Even if it is a duke, he has no right to let me go." ”

Steward Li was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned hideous: "Presumptuous!" I really haven't heard of anyone daring to rob people with the Duke. Evening Wind, don't think that your Ruling Legion is a little capable, and take yourself too seriously. Robbing people, are you worthy? As far as I know, your adjudication legion can't even afford to eat, and you dare to come and rob people? ”

"Two adults, please don't get angry......" I said quickly, "this ...... We're the ones you're going to poach anyway, can you simply ask some questions? ”

Steward Li said impatiently, "Still have questions?" Then you hurry up and ask! ”

I whispered, "If I follow the duke, how much tax will I have to pay each month?" ”

"Thirty pounds of gold."

It's so expensive!

It's much more expensive than Xie An!

I swallowed my spit and asked, "So what benefits can I get?" ”

"Following the Duke is your greatest benefit. Under the Duke's command, no one will dare to bully you......" Steward Li snorted coldly, "This is a great honor, how many people want to join the Duke's command." If it weren't for the fact that there were five of you, the Duke wouldn't even look at you. ”

I smiled wryly, "Then I want to ask...... If I follow the Duke, what opportunities will I have for promotion in the future? ”

"You've got enough questions......," Steward Li said irritably, "It's simple, after you've paid three hundred catties of gold, the Duke will give you a chance to challenge the others to see if you have the ability to be a centurion." If you can, if you can beat the others in the selection, you can become a centurion. As long as you make war exploits for the Duke, the Duke will naturally not be able to treat you badly! ”

This......

The Duke is also very greedy!

I paid 300 catties of gold, but I could only get an admission ticket to whether I could become a centurion!

At this time, I couldn't help but look at the evening breeze and asked softly, "If I follow you, can I get any promotion opportunities?" ”

"It depends on your merits......," Nightwind said calmly, "If your ability is enough, I will let you go all the way up." ”

"Do I really not have to pay taxes?"

Evening Breeze shook his head and said, "No need." ”

"Hiss......"

I gasped, feeling like it was a really difficult choice.

On one side is the poor nobleman, he will not take my money, but what kind of future he will have is doubtful.

On one side is the powerful duke, although it is very secure to follow the duke, but the problem is that his taxes are too high! There are five of us, and thirty pounds of gold a month is one hundred and fifty pounds of gold a month!

I can't afford it!

I turned my head to look at Jiang Mei, every time at this time, Jiang Mei is our reassurance, and we can only see her to make up our minds.

Jiang Mei frowned and thought for a while, then said to the evening breeze: "Lord Earl, I am just a slave, can I ask you a question?" ”

Evening Breeze nodded, "Yes." ”

At this time, Steward Li glanced at the evening breeze and muttered: "It's really not a noble posture at all, if the slave dares to ask me questions, I will cut it directly." ”

Jiang Mei ignored Steward Li, but asked with Wanfeng seriously: "I heard them say that you have been fighting again and again, may I ask what you are fighting for?" ”

"For heaven outside the world."

"What do you mean?"

"The so-called aristocracy is just a different name for bloodsuckers......" Evening Wind said coldly, "I was born in the slums and saw through the way the country works. The so-called rule of the strong only gives the common people a small hope, making them mistakenly believe that they can see the future through hard work. However, after reaching this point, people began to forget their original intentions, and instead changed to the ugly name of being called aristocracy, and began to squeeze their hometown. I'm fighting just to change that. ”

Jiang Mei asked, "What do you mean...... Want to rebel? ”

Wanfeng shook his head and said: "My loyalty to the emperor and the country can be learned from heaven and earth. It's just that I have an idea that no other nobleman has ever had...... For the people. I want to let the emperor know through my own efforts that even if there is no need for exploitation, as long as he leads the people well, he can make the people strong and the country economically prosperous. ”

Jiang Mei pondered for a while, then nodded: "Interesting, the five of us can join your command, but there is a small condition, I don't know if you can accept it." ”

"We don't join any of your armies, but we can lead your arm......ies," Jiang Mei stretched out a hand and said seriously, "Five people, we fight for you, and we promise to do our best to complete the mission, but we will not obey anyone's orders." I mean, you give me a task, and the five of us do it on our own. ”

Evening Wind frowned and asked, "Only five people?" ”

"Yes, if we behave well in the back, you can give us some troops to lead." Jiang Mei smiled.

"What if you can't complete the order?"

"If we can't finish it, then we are already dead on the battlefield, so why bother with you?"

Evening Breeze pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "I have to say, you are the most arrogant people I have ever met. Okay, I agree to the conditions. ”

Jiang Mei smiled: "Since you agreed, then we will join your command and cooperate happily." ”

"You're such a big!"

Steward Li scolded angrily, and immediately brushed his sleeves away, "Okay, you will definitely regret it." I will let you know what a foolish decision it was to rebel against the Duke! ”()
