Chapter 143: Dazed (1)

  "Frank, you just watch from the side today, there's nothing for you to do, got it?" A mercenary emphasized again and again to Yewang.

  Frank is Ye Lang's alias, replacing that person's name. Although they don't know Frank, they have a list, so they call Ye Lang as Frank.

  Ye Lang thought that these people had already thought of their disguises, how thorough. In that case, he would call himself Frank and be a mercenary named Frank for a while, it must be quite interesting.

  Because of this idea, Ye Lang never thought that this mercenary group was not Anna's mercenary group, even if this mercenary group had a different name externally and internally, he felt that it was a disguise, and he himself had to do a good job of disguising, to be a good mercenary.

  And yet, by doing so, he made everyone even less suspicious that he was an imposter. He wasn't Frank!

  As for why the mercenary emphasized to Ye Lang, it was because although Ye Lang was very serious about doing things, he would always encounter some situations and make some mistakes that everyone found amazing.

  For example, let him be the chef, he can take sugar as salt, and all the dishes he stir-fries are sweet!

  For example, let him keep watch at night, he will fall asleep in the middle of the night. This is not a big deal, at most it's just laziness. The problem is that when he sleeps, he will trigger the alarm and disturb everyone, while he himself sleeps soundly.

  Wait...

  Now in everyone's eyes, mercenary Frank is just a confused egg. They plan to get rid of him after the task is completed here.

  In order to prevent Ye Lang from causing more trouble, everyone unanimously decided to let him do nothing and serve him like a young master!

  This made Ye Lang feel very normal, he was originally a young master, so this made him even less suspicious of these people, and he thought that they felt it was not good to let themselves do things, after all, he was the one who hired them.

  Thus, Ye Lang followed these mercenaries through one kingdom after another, getting closer and closer to the Vermilion Bird Empire in the south. Fortunately, this mercenary group was heading south; if they were going north to the Soaring Sky Empire instead, wouldn't that be sending a sheep into a tiger's den?!

  If he enters the Xiangkong Empire, Zhao Yaru will definitely have something to do with it again. This time, Ye Lang will absolutely not be able to escape so easily. She won't use a large army to pursue him, but instead mobilize the empire's Sword Saints.

  Facing the pursuit of Imperial Sword Saint's flow, Ye Lang would no longer be as relaxed as before. He would be in big trouble and might get caught if he wasn't careful.

  Just a hundred miles away from the Zhuque Empire, at the border area, the mercenary group's footsteps stopped. It wasn't to rest here, but their destination had been reached.

  They brought a cargo here this time, a small box, what's inside, no one knows, at least no one in this mercenary group knows.

  It's just a box anyway, and the price they offered is also high, so no one will bother to ask.

  As mercenaries, they wouldn't open the box, that's the rule. If they broke the rules, they would disappear from the mercenary world and couldn't continue to mix in.

  Of course, it's not possible to open the rules, but you can also choose not to accept. Such things are mutually beneficial and there are many people who do them, it's just a very ordinary thing.

  "How can we stop here and not move?" Ye Lang asked strangely after resting for a few days. Logically, it was the team that escorted him, so why would they stop without reason when he didn't ask them to?

  "We've already arrived at our destination, where else are we going?" Another mercenary looked at Ye Lang with a puzzled expression, not understanding what was wrong with this confused Frank.

  "Have we arrived at our destination? No way, this doesn't look like a Tiger Tribe village at all." Even if Ye Lang was confused, he could still tell the difference between beastmen and ordinary humans.

  "Tiger tribe village? What are you talking about? This is Am City on the edge of the Vermilion Bird Empire, we're just here to deliver goods. Are you still half asleep?" The mercenary looked at Ye Lang, simply thinking he was confused, and didn't think anything else of it.

  Anyway, for him, the cooperation with Ye Lang will be the last time, and he will never meet Ye Lang again, so naturally he won't think about other things.

  "......" Ye Lang fell silent, as if he had suddenly realized something, that he might have followed the wrong person.

  Nonsense, if it wasn't for asking the wrong person, how would I have ended up in the Vermilion Bird Empire? Anna and the others definitely wouldn't be as muddled as me and run to the wrong place.

  It seems Anna and her friends were all girls, while these people...

  It was at this moment that Ye Lang noticed this point, but it was already too late, later than could be!

  "Wait, looks like I made a mistake. Can I leave first?" Ye Lang said bluntly after realizing something was off and wanted to leave.

  It's just that at this time, these mercenaries didn't let Ye Lang leave because the task hadn't ended yet. Even if they wanted to drive Ye Lang away, they had to wait until the end of the task and calculate the commission clearly before doing so.

  In the mercenary profession, no one can embezzle commissions. Neither the employer nor the mercenaries being hired can embezzle other mercenaries' commissions; otherwise, the consequences will be very severe.

  "You can't leave now, after this task is completed, you can go wherever you want!" The mercenary said.

  "Why? I'm not..." Ye Lang wondered, wanting to say that he wasn't a mercenary, just temporarily mistaken.

  "There's no why, even if you know you're useless, what's yours is still yours. We won't be short of a single penny because of you. If you want to leave, wait until this task is done!" The mercenary said sternly.

  Ye Lang looked at the mercenary in a daze, then nodded, although he didn't know what was going on. Since they were so serious about it, he might as well stay and wait for the task to be completed. Anyway, it wouldn't make much difference whether he stayed or left now.

  But now Ye Lang is thinking, why did he run all the way here and get so tense, how could such a misunderstanding happen, and why would they mistake him for that Frank.

  Ye Lang is blaming these people, but he doesn't seem to have thought that he himself is the main character. If you can't even figure it out yourself, how can others be clear about it? How could this misunderstanding not happen?

  I don't know if Anna and them will scold me when they find out about this situation...

  Forget it, don't inform them, just go by myself, at most hire a horse carriage, the coachman should know the way.

  Besides, since we've arrived at the entrance of Zhuque, should we go in to look for my cousin? Better not, looking for her is no big deal, just afraid it'll delay us again, let's come back another time when we're free.

  According to Ye Lang's understanding of his cousin, if he were caught by her, it would take at least one or two months to get away!
