Haha, good daughter, thank you for your concern.

Hodja glanced at Melty, and when he slowly returned to his seat, he sighed to himself: When I saw a girl like Melty resolutely join the mercenary group, with a daring and courageous character, among a group of male mercenaries,

It's not uncommon to see her, so I accepted her as my adopted daughter and trained her more. It's a pity that she is a girl, otherwise it would be okay for me to pass on the position of leader to her.

Huo Jia glanced at his son Liang Ke again, and sighed in his heart: Alas, although Liang Ke, the tiger father's dog son, is not weak in strength, it is a pity that he is indecisive and lacks the spirit to be a leader, making him difficult to use.

He glanced at the other two squad leaders again, but Huo Jia's face was uncertain. One of them, Marcus and Smith, was his apprentice, rude and heroic, with little resourcefulness, and the other was his promoted confidant. Now Huo Jia

But Jia couldn't see through these two people at all.

I am old, and now half of my body is buried in the loess, but I can't find a suitable heir. It is really a great sadness. Thinking of this, Hodja picked up the wine glass and took a sip of it gloomily. At this time, Melty said:

Foster father, please drink less and pay attention to your health.

At this time, everyone suddenly heard a loud noise outside the tent, and then a mercenary opened the door curtain in a hurry and ran in: Oh no, two tents storing supplies suddenly caught fire. Leaders,

Captain, do you want to avoid this?

Why are you panicking? It's not a big deal. Hodja frowned slightly, and then said to the guards around him: Go and see what happened, and then stay there to put out the fire.

Yes, Mr. Captain. After the six guards bowed and saluted, they hurried out of the camp. At this moment, Hodja continued: Come on, come on, let's continue eating and drinking. It's just a small incident, don't disturb everyone's interest.

.

The surrounding team captains all had calm expressions on their faces, and they seemed not to take this minor incident seriously.

But at this time, no one noticed that there was no guard around Hodja. He was now completely alone. The faces of the two masterminds at the dinner table, Smith and the other man, gradually showed signs of confusion.

He had a ferocious expression like a wolf.

It was time. Why didn't he take action yet? Smith's heart was in his throat at this moment. He was paying close attention to the current situation. Unknowingly, cold sweat had appeared on his forehead.

At this moment, Captain Hodja's wine glass was empty again, and a young waiter walked over. He smiled and said: Captain, I'll fill it up for you.

Okay, okay, the young man is very discerning. Hodja nodded with satisfaction. The man who poured the wine was Guan Heng. After he poured the wine, he stood quietly behind Hodja, staring blankly.

There it is.

This is a very rare opportunity. The man behind the bribery of Guan Heng glanced at Smith. Both of them had the same idea. They thought that Guan Heng should take action immediately and use the dagger in his sleeve to kill Hodja.

life.

However, the man behind the scenes signaled Guan Heng several times with his eyes. Guan Heng still stood behind Hodja expressionless, showing no intention of taking action. This made the man and Smith secretly furious.

It's strange. At this time, Melty said intentionally or unintentionally: "Father, your guards have been out for too long. Logically speaking, it's just two small tents on fire. They should be back within a few minutes."

That's right.

It's really weird when you say that. Hodja is also a sophisticated and experienced person. Although he drank a lot of wine, he was not very drunk. At this time, Hodja glanced at the people at the table and suddenly felt

A very strange atmosphere is spreading.

As soon as he heard Melty and Hodja talking about the guards who had left and never returned, the man behind the bribery of Guan Heng could no longer bear it. He slapped the case and stood up and shouted: Guan Heng, hurry up.

Take action.

The shout rang out, and before Hodja could react, a cold light suddenly burst into Guan Heng's eyes behind him. The bottom of his sleeve trembled, and the fine steel dagger suddenly shot out.

However, this sword did not go into Hodja's heart as the two masterminds imagined. Instead, Guan Heng raised his arm and threw it into the table in front of the speaker, causing him to stagger with fright.

Slumped down on the chair.

It turned out to be really you Hodja looked at that man and punched the table hard: Makuri, you bastard, why did you betray me?

The mastermind who bribed Guan Heng and conspired with Smith to assassinate all the top brass of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group turned out to be Hodja's only disciple, captain of the third detachment, Makuri.

Seeing that the assassination attempt failed, Smith suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted loudly: Brothers outside the tent, do it.

Charge, kill, before Smith could finish his words, deafening shouts of killing suddenly sounded outside the camp. At this time, the light of swords flashed outside, red light burst out, and people kept falling down with howls, but both Marcus and Smith were plotting against each other.

He laughed sadly: Hahaha, the balance of victory is still tilted to our side.

Whoa, at this moment, several figures suddenly opened the tent curtain and rushed in. Before Mercury and Smith could react, six sharp sword blades were already placed on their necks.

superior.

The ones who took action to capture the thief were the six guards who had just gone out. One of the leaders said: Report to the leader, all the traitors and hired killers have been captured or killed by our people, and the battlefield is being cleaned outside.

Well, I understand. After saying this, Hodja looked at Smith and Marcus, who were already tied up, with a gloomy face, and whispered: Marcus, you have been with me since you were a child, and it was I who raised you.

Become an outstanding mercenary captain, why did you betray me?

Without answering Hodja directly, Makuri smiled bitterly and then asked: Hey, my dear teacher, when did you realize my betrayal?

No, I have never doubted you. A few more wrinkles appeared on Hodja's haggard and old face. He sighed and said: This morning, Melty and her adopted brother Guan Heng revealed your plan.

At that time, I couldn't believe that you had fallen.

I'm sorry, teacher. Makuri sighed, lowered his head and said: Everything is caused by greed. Last year, I gradually became obsessed with winning and losing on the gambling table, which made me deeply in debt. As a result, I got stuck in the mud and became unable to extricate myself.
