Chapter 25 Wolf Mercenary Group

If what the fat man said was true, then the young pharmacist from other states was not kidnapped by the Wolf Mercenaries, but was kidnapped by the fat man by accident.

So in the matter of the out-of-state pharmacist, the Wolf Mercenary Group was indeed wronged.

But if it is a mercenary group that can make people conclude that it is a robbery without any evidence, it can be said to be a notorious mercenary group.

A mercenary group like this must have done a lot of bad things.

In this case, the dejected mercenary group before us is probably one of the many victims.

This mercenary group had just been robbed and lost many members, leaving them severely weakened. Now was the time to replenish their ranks and rest.

At the moment, I don't want to continue walking alone, for fear of being spotted by someone and causing unnecessary trouble.

After some calculation, Jiang Xuan's pace became much faster.

Seeing the stranger approaching, the mercenaries suddenly changed from depressed to alert, holding their weapons tightly, all in a guarded posture.

There were even a few people who overreacted, and their tense and alert postures were a little weird.

Jiang Xuan waved his hands in front of his chest and gave a slightly bitter smile: "No, no, no, I don't mean any harm."

He shook a piece of rag, and several strips of cloth stained with blood red suddenly appeared in front of the mercenaries.

"My dear brothers, I am Jiang Xuan. I have met some bad guys on the road. I wonder where you are going? I know some fighting skills. If it is convenient for you, I would like to go with you."

The mercenaries took a quick look at the young man, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Seeing that he was indeed injured and quite young, they let down their guard and sat back dejectedly.

The man, who was about thirty years old and had a burly build, and was obviously the backbone of this mercenary group, walked up to Jiang Xuan and said, "Brother Jiang, I am Bei Hao, the leader of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group. We are going back to the mercenary group's base, and we have to pass through Qizhou City on the way. If it's convenient for you, Brother Jiang, let's go together!"

"Captain, this isn't right. We don't know his background, what if he gets us into trouble..."

"Yeah, he's so young and injured, how strong can he really be? Even if he's not a bad guy, he's probably just a burden and can't help us..."

"All right."

Bei Hao's two words, neither light nor heavy, immediately stopped the discussion in the group, and everyone fell silent.

"Brother Jiang, don't mind what they just said. They didn't mean anything else. Our Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group was just robbed, and many of our brothers died. They naturally have some resentment and are a little depressed."

Jiang Xuan clasped his fists and bowed to Bei Hao: "It's alright, there's nothing wrong with what you brothers said. It's only right to be cautious when you're out."

Qizhou is known as the "State of Ten Thousand Lakes" because of its numerous lakes.

Jiang Xuan had heard of this name when he first arrived in Qizhou and participated in the auction at the Green Lake Auction House.

However, it was only when I really started to come into contact with the mercenary group in Qizhou and the things happening in Qizhou that I truly understood the importance of the lake to Qizhou, and even realized the importance of fish to Qizhou.

Therefore, the name of this mandarin fish mercenary group is not difficult to understand. It should be related to a kind of fish that is abundant in Qizhou.

"Brother, why is your mercenary group named Mandarin Fish?" Jiang Xuan couldn't help but ask curiously when walking with a member of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group who was about twenty years old, of medium build and had an honest look.

"I'm only a few years older than you, so there's no need to call me brother. My name is Bei Tao."

A sincere, somewhat exaggerated smile instantly appeared on Bei Tao's honest face as he explained, "Qizhou is rich in freshwater fish, and mandarin fish is one of them. Although it is a freshwater fish, it is a carnivorous fish with a ferocious temperament and is good at hiding..."

Bei Tao paused mid-sentence, frowned slightly, and continued, "Among the fish we often see in our mercenary group, the mandarin fish is our favorite. Brother Hao and the others were also very satisfied, so they named it this."

The leader of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group is called Bei Hao, and the member in front of him is called Bei Tao. Jiang Xuan thinks that Bei Hao and Bei Tao are probably brothers from the same clan.

However, it was naturally not appropriate to ask about such matters casually, so he just pushed the matter aside.

Jiang Xuan looked at the mercenary group's flag that was held high by a mercenary member. There was a green mandarin fish painted on the flag. The mandarin fish had a bulge on its back and its mouth was wide open, as if it was about to bite its opponent.

With this flag embroidered with a green mandarin fish, the momentum of the entire mercenary group will indeed be stronger.

Contrary to the hearsay at the Green Lake Auction House, this Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group is a mercenary group that actually dealt with the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group and suffered losses.

From conversations with Bei Tao and other members of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group, Jiang Xuan learned a lot about the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group and Qizhou.

To Jiang Xuan's surprise, the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group was actually a mercenary group that was established very recently, even shorter than the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group.

However, such a mercenary group that was established not long ago has rapidly grown into a large mercenary group that can influence the mercenary world in Qizhou in a short period of time.

Even many large mercenary groups are afraid of the Wolf Mercenary Group.

The reason why the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group is hated and feared by other mercenary groups is that it is completely different from other mercenary groups that escort goods or work for employers. It is a mercenary group that makes a living by plundering other mercenary groups.

In the short period of time since the establishment of the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group, in the territory of Qizhou alone, except for a few large mercenary groups, almost all other small and medium-sized mercenary groups have been "visited" by the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group, which can be said to be full of evil.

"Brother Bei Tao, what kind of fish was robbed this time?"

As soon as Jiang Xuan asked this, he immediately felt regretful. The mercenary group had just been robbed, and they still took the risk of asking him to follow them to Qizhou City. Asking this question was like rubbing salt into the wound.

He hoped that Bei Tao didn't hear him clearly.

"Carp." Bei Tao seemed not to care about Jiang Xuan's question and answered readily.

Bei Tao saw the hint of embarrassment on Jiang Xuan's face, but he couldn't discern Jiang Xuan's true thoughts. He only felt that Jiang Xuan was a little confused, so he continued to explain, "Right now, more than 50% of the mercenaries in Qizhou are escorting carp. The reason is simple: carp is the most expensive fish in Qizhou City. Moreover, the price changes every day."

Hearing Jiang Xuan and Bei Tao chatting animatedly, Qi Mangu, who had just been picked up by another huge mercenary member, took a few quick steps to catch up with Jiang Xuan and Bei Tao and join the conversation.

Jiang Xuan naturally recognized Qi Mangu, but Qi Mangu was being grabbed by the collar by another member of the mercenary group at the time, and the situation was a bit awkward.

Jiang Xuan had no choice but to pretend that he didn't recognize Qi Mangu and just saluted Qi Mangu with his fists clasped.

Qi Mangu smiled and waved his hand, signaling Jiang Xuan that this was unnecessary. Then he started talking.
