Balranta insisted on taking Liu Yan to see his boss, and said: "Brother Liu Yan, you don't have to be nervous, my boss's name is Bernardo, he is very good to his own people and takes good care of him." ”

When Liu Yan heard this name, he was very familiar with it, and suddenly remembered that the old man of the hotel had told him that the head of one of the four warlords of Columia was called Bernardo, and his power was second here, second only to Sanchez, who was in first place.

Now that he heard from Barranta that this boss is not bad, Liu Yan decided to meet this Bernardo and wanted to see what the warlord here was like.

"Well, Barranta, I hope he doesn't shoot me like an enemy. Liu Yan pretended to be very cowardly, shrunk his neck and said.

"How come, my boss is not crazy, besides, you are my friend, my benefactor, he will look at you differently!" Barranta put his arm around Liu Yan's shoulders and comforted him in a friendly way.

Balanta led Liu Yan and Zhang Shuangsheng towards the barracks behind, and after walking for a while, Liu Yan saw the largest barracks, judging from the decoration outside, it was also very luxurious and magnificent, and there were two sentries guarding the door with guns

Liu Yan thought to himself, this should be Bernardo's barracks, and the pomp is big enough.

Who knows, Balanta pulled Liu Yan and the two to an inconspicuous small barracks next to them.

Liu Yan asked strangely, "Balanta, isn't the boss in this barracks?"

Balranta made a "shhhh

It turns out that this is the case, the three holes of the cunning rabbit are, this is really cunning enough, but this also shows from the side that the situation in Columya is really chaotic, even a warlord leader has to be so careful, let alone the common people.

The three of them came to a small barracks next to it, the door was unguarded, Balanta walked to the door and knocked on the door four times, the rhythm of the knocking was a bit strange, it should be a kind of code.

The door opened, and two soldiers with loaded guns looked at me, saw it was Balanta, and asked, "What is the matter?"

"Is the boss resting? I just met two friends today and want to introduce them to the boss. Balanta was very polite to the two soldiers, after all, this was the boss's personal guard.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask the boss. The guard slammed the door shut.

Balranta felt a little faceless in front of the outside, smiled awkwardly at Liu Yan, and laughed at himself: "It's very strict, the situation is chaotic now, you must be cautious." ”

Liu Yan smiled very understandingly, nodded and said, "This is as it should be, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable." ”

After waiting for more than a minute, the door of the barracks was opened again, and the guard said: "Come in, no weapons!"

Balranta nodded hurriedly: "Of course, of course." ”

The three of them walked in, and the guards searched Liu Yan and Zhang Shuangsheng, who had no guns on them, and found two military short knives.

The guards did not take the knife away, but returned it to the two people, it seems that the guards here should be very confident, they are not afraid of the person who took the knife.

Passing through a narrow hallway, I came to the back room, where sat a man, about fifty years old, and although he was sitting, he could see that he was very tall and strong, and there was not much hair left, only a circle of gray hair scattered.

He had an unlit cigar in his right hand, and a lighter in his left hand, ready to light a cigarette.

"Boss, I'm back. Balranta stood respectfully in front of his boss Bernardo and said respectfully.

"Well, I heard that you and Sanchez's men exchanged fire in the afternoon?" Bernardo ignored Liu Yan and Shuangsheng, only glanced at them, and then asked about the battle in the afternoon.

Balanta replied: "Sanchez's men lost a batch of goods last week, and it wasn't because our people robbed it, so we fought. ”

"Lost?" said Bernardo, with a gloomy face, turned on the lighter, and lit his cigar.

"I didn't lose, we died one brother, but the other party also died two. Balanta said with her head down.

"Killed two people, who killed them?" said Bernardo, with a smile on his face, as if surprised.

"Yes, I killed you. After Balanta finished speaking, he unconsciously looked at Liu Yan, he knew that it was Liu Yan who was secretly playing tricks, but he didn't understand how Liu Yan helped him.

"That's good, Balranta, you've improved a lot. ”

Listening to Bernardo's words, Barranta should not have been very good before, and Liu Yan and Zhang Shuangsheng also knew it in their hearts.

"Boss, these two friends saved my life, and without them, I would probably have died. Balanta wasted no time in introducing Liu Yan and Zhang Shuangsheng.

"Oh, how did they save you?" Bernardo looked at Liu Yan and Zhang Shuangsheng with interest.

Balranta recounted what had just happened, but he beautified the details of his embarrassment, and of course, he also praised Liu Yan well.

Bernardo squinted as he listened, without any expression on his face, and Barranta understood that his expression meant that he was half-convinced of what he was saying.

"Your name is Yan?" asked Bernardo, staring at Liu Yan.

"Yes, Mr. Bernardo, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Liu Yan replied politely.

"Do you know how to heal?"

"Yes, my grandfather passed it on to me. Liu Yan told the truth.

"Family medicine, amazing!" Bernardo took a puff of his cigar and puffed out the smoke ring, a face hidden in the smoke, making it difficult to see his expression.

"You've won a prize. ”

"You're here to find a friend, what's his name?"

"Falcao, he's a fisherman. Liu Yan said it again, this lie was told to Balanta once, and it must be kept.

"Fishermen...... But the territory near the sea is not mine, and you will be in danger if you go there. Bernardo said slowly.

Liu Yan looked embarrassed, sighed, and said, "I didn't think about it so much before I came, and I don't know what to do now." ”

"Since you saved Balanta's life, it stands to reason that I should also help you, but the matter of the territory is not up to me, everyone's territory is demarcated, do you understand?" Bernardo stood up, shook his head and said, while asking the guard to bring coffee to the three of them, which means that he has accepted Liu Yan and Shuangsheng and regarded them as friends.

When Balanta saw that the boss gave the order to serve coffee, she was happy in her heart, and secretly squeezed her eyes at Liu Yan.

But Liu Yan then Bernardo said a word, which stunned everyone present.

"Boss, why don't you take that piece of land down?"

The cigar on Bernardo's lips almost fell to the ground, he coughed, and said, "How can it be so easy? ”

"The reason, it's easy to find, as long as you want to fight, are you afraid that you won't find an excuse?" Liu Yan said faintly, he had heard his grandfather tell him about [Romance of the Three Kingdoms] since he was a child, and he was very impressed, and the tricks in it had left a deep imprint on Liu Yan's young heart.

As far as the scheming technique is concerned, the brains of these people in the Americas are simply at the level of Jiang Gan, and they are very simple.

"Making excuses?" Bernardo stared at Liu Yan's eyes, hoping that he would continue.

"Boss, can you briefly introduce who the coastal land belongs to now?" asked Liu Yan.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about it, I heard that the brains of the Chinese people are very good, you can give me an analysis. ”

Bernardo is well-informed and has dealt with people from other countries, of course he knows that there are many people in the history of China far away in the East, and the change of dynasties has given birth to many wonderful stories, so he wants to listen to Liu Yan to help him analyze the situation, maybe it will help him.

Bernardo spoke in much detail about what the old man in the hotel said, and from his point of view, he said a lot of inside information that was not known to outsiders.

The territory near the sea belongs to Freddy, who is the brother-in-law of Sanchez, the biggest warlord in Columia, but Freddy and Sanchez do not have a good relationship.

It is said that Sanchez started his business with his father-in-law, but later rose by reselling arms, and his power grew rapidly, far exceeding the strength of his father-in-law.

The power of the father-in-law was inherited by the youngest son, Freddy, that is, Sanchez's brother-in-law, although the two families originated from the same family, but they did not interact much for many years.

Sanchez did not rely on his own power, and annexed the territory of his brother-in-law Freddy, and the two families were safe, but there was no cooperation.

Liu Yan listened, nodded slowly, it turned out that there was still this relationship, and then he asked: "Boss, there is still a force, how is it?"

"There is also a boss named Rodalega, he has the smallest power, but his territory is close to the neighboring country of Ecuador, and his background is the Ecuadorian military, so there is no fear, and no one will provoke him. ”

At this point, Liu Yan completely understood the distribution of the power of these four warlords, as well as their respective backgrounds.

After saying that, Bernardo smiled and asked, "How is it?"

Yes, these four forces have their own advantages, among which the relationship is intricate, and the whole body is affected by one shot, and now it is in the balance stage, there are only some small fights between each other, and there will be no large-scale conflicts.

"Of course you can fight, it depends on your courage boss!" Liu Yan said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that Liu Yan had something to say, Bernardo's heart moved, and he pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down and speak slowly!"

The boss actually asked Liu Yan to sit down and talk? Balranta's face immediately showed an expression of envy, which was a treatment that people who met for the first time had never been treated before!

Bernardo meets with his subordinates, basically only for a few minutes, and after the conversation, he lets his subordinates out, and never lets his subordinates sit down to talk, this is his rule, and it has been like this for many years, and no one can guess his heart.

Liu Yan was not polite, sat down with a big grin, took a sip of coffee, and talked eloquently.

"Boss, although Freddy and Sanchez have not been in contact for many years, they have been safe and sound, which means that they are allies by default and cannot move for the time being. ”
