Chapter 1037: Finding out the news
"You've drunk too much, go back. Xiao Tao said, turned around and was about to leave.
"Friend, you bring people with you, are you Chinese, right? Can you leave me a contact information?" Ang Feng followed and asked.
"When we meet, we don't have to keep our contact information. He doesn't know who the other party is, Xiao Tao won't leave a phone number for others casually, and he came to Cangma to save people, not to make friends with strangers, he just made a move, but he just couldn't see it.
"I don't want to owe you a favor. Angfeng said.
"If you don't owe it, you don't owe it, don't take it to heart. Xiao Tao said.
"You're a good person, at least let me know your name, right?" Ang Feng looked at Xiao Tao with a hint of sincerity in his eyes.
"You call me Ah Tao. Xiao Tao thought about it and said.
"I've been in Cangma for so many years, and I've never seen you, you've just arrived in Cangma, right?" asked Angfeng.
"Yes, I only came here today to start a timber business here. Xiao Tao casually found a reason to prevaricate.
"Welcome to the businessmen who come to Tama to do business, although there are many forces here and the situation is unstable, but they will not casually harass the businessmen who do business, and you can do business in Cangma with peace of mind. Angfeng said.
"By the way, you have been in Cangma for many years?" Xiao Tao seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked.
"I'm a local, what do you say?" said Aung Fung.
"We are new to the city, and we don't know much about everything in Cangma, why don't you popularize it for us, do you have this time?"
"Yes. "Ang Feng said.
"The street is not the place to talk, why don't we find a place to sit down and you can talk to us." Xiao Tao proposed.
"There is a good environment in a bar, it is very suitable for talking about things, but it is ......." Ang Feng did not finish his words, and the look of embarrassment was revealed.
"Go, take us there, I'm in for a treat today. Xiao Tao smiled, this drunkard is quite interesting, he was beaten up for owing money for wine here, and he was thinking about drinking again.
Ang Feng smiled awkwardly, and then led Xiao Tao and the dinosaur forward, walking about a few hundred meters, to another bar.
The grade of this bar is relatively high, and the environment inside is relatively quiet, although it is still early, but there are already three or three drinkers.
Xiao Tao asked for a private room, ordered some drinks and snacks, and drank with the dinosaur and Angfeng.
"Don't drink too much and remember our mission. The dinosaur took advantage of the wind to go to the toilet, and opened his mouth to warn.
"I'm measured. Xiao Tao nodded.
"Also, what the hell are you doing? Even if you help others for fun, you have to help people drink, have you been kicked in the brain by a donkey? We haven't even familiarized ourselves with the terrain of Cangma, what are we wasting time doing on this drunkard?" The dinosaur complained, and scolded Xiao Tao more than a thousand times in his heart.
"Cangma's situation is too complicated, I want to get to the bottom of here, Xie Peng is not a local after all, he doesn't know much, it's better to find a local to ask." Xiao Tao said.
"Be careful, that drunkard is not a simple person, he is a martial artist. "Dire Beast Road.
"It can be seen that if he fought back just now, those people would not be his opponents at all, and I think he is a good person. Xiao Tao said.
"So, you have a crush on him?" the dinosaur asked.
"That's just one of them, I thought of another problem, he has martial arts, he is not an ordinary person, in the war-torn area of northern Myanmar, it is not easy to survive, everyone who has a little ability has joined a certain force, I think he will not be an exception. Xiao Tao smiled and said, "So, he must know more things than Xie Peng." ”
"Hey, I really can't see that your brain is better than mine, and even this point has been thought of, which can be regarded as both civil and military. The dinosaur glanced at Xiao Tao and said seriously, "To be honest, you are so young, your martial arts realm is so high, your brain is flexible, and General Shi values it, if you join the army, your future is limitless." ”
"Don't, I'm not a soldier, I would have joined the army a long time ago, so why wait until now. Xiao Tao hurriedly said, secretly wondering in his heart, why is there another lobbyist?
"You have such good conditions not to join the army, what do you want to do?" asked the dinosaur puzzled.
"I'm a wanderer, I'm used to being free and I don't like to be controlled. Xiao Tao said.
"It turned out to be a wild horse. The dinosaur pursed his lips, for him, the people in the rivers and lakes are people who are not subject to control, and they are two worlds with him.
After Ang Feng came back, Xiao Tao had a few more drinks with him before asking him about Cangma's power.
Ang Feng was so happy that he immediately knew everything, said everything, and told Cangma's sphere of influence and some secret things.
Cangma was originally controlled by four major forces, with the four major forces occupying four territories in the east, west, south, and north of the city, while the other small forces were entrenched in the suburbs or villages. No matter what strife there is, these forces will not start a war inside the city, they will fight outside the city, and it will never affect the city.
The reason is very simple, there are many forces here, there are many disputes, a small trouble in three days, a big fight in five days, if there is a war in the city, Cangma County will have already become a ruin. Therefore, no matter how big or small the forces are, they will not let Cangma become a ruin, after all, the prosperity of Cangma County is the root of their interests, and no one wants to lose this cake.
Because Cangma has many armed forces and is very xenophobic, it is difficult for foreign forces to intervene.
However, some time ago, a mercenary army drove into Cangma, and the one who accepted this mercenary was the weakest of the four major forces, and the leader of that force was called Shika.
With the support of the mercenaries, Shika became ambitious, and wanted to monopolize Cangma and become the master of Cangma, so he challenged the biggest force, and then the other two forces were also pulled into the water, and fought several melee battles outside the city, but no one could help anyone.
But through this dispute, it can be seen that the Shika forces, with the support of mercenaries, can draw with one against three, and have become the biggest force in Cangma, although the Shika forces cannot drive out the other three forces, but the situation in Cangma will also change because of this.
"The four major forces are still negotiating, and Shika will definitely get the lion's share of the city, at least half of Cangma's territory, while the other three forces can only concede. Angfeng said.
"The mercenaries are the ones who work for money, and that mercenary should have been invited by Shika, right?"
"Excuse me, Shikana has this money to hire mercenaries, that mercenary army is very strong, there are many people, and they are well equipped, how much does it cost to invite people?"
"No, isn't it possible for a mercenary to be a compulsory soldier? This is not in line with the rules of a mercenary. Xiao Tao asked again.
"Of course not, how can mercenaries work in such vain?" Ang Feng shook his head, took a sip of foreign wine, and said, "Others may not know, but I know the inside story here, this mercenary army entered the city for a purpose, and they also have conditions to help Shika, otherwise what kind of battle would they help Shika fight?"
"The purpose?Cangma has nothing but timber, could it be that the mercenary has changed careers and wants to become a timber merchant?" Xiao Tao asked with a smile.
"No, the mercenaries came in cooperation with the Shika, they helped the Shika drive away the other forces, and then the Shika carved out a territory in Cangma for them in return. Angfeng said as he drank his wine.
"Mercenaries also want a piece of the pie in Cangma?"
Xiao Tao was a little surprised, he knew that the mercenary force that Ang Feng said was a blue ocean mercenary, and the scale of the blue ocean mercenary group was not small, could it also come to intervene in Cangma's income? This is not normal, although Cangma's timber business is good, but after all, the place is small, and the appetite of the blue ocean mercenaries can be satisfied?
"The mercenaries don't look down on the little taxes and protection fees in Cangma, they just want to establish a stronghold in Cangma, as for what they are building a stronghold for? "Ang Feng said.
"Does Shika know?" Xiao Tao continued to ask.
Shika didn't know, he just wanted to monopolize the entire Cangma County and become the strongest force in the Cangma area, and he didn't bother to ask about the purpose of the mercenaries. "Ang Feng said.
"How do you know so much? Are you from Shika?" Xiao Tao glanced at Ang Feng and asked.
"I am not a member of the Shikha, nor am I a member of the other three powers. Ang Feng poured down a glass of wine, his face gradually became angry, and said, "I belong to a small force in the villages outside the city, and our forces have always been oppressed by the Shika forces, because our villages belong to the Shika forces, and we have to bow to the Shikhas. ”
"Shika started a war with the three major forces, and after a draw, he was not willing to get only half of Cangma, he wanted the whole Cangma. Now, he is recruiting troops everywhere, and he also threatens his small forces to contribute money and efforts to fight with them. If that force does not obey, he will destroy that force, and it will be difficult for us small forces. ”
"The day before yesterday, under the pretext of holding a meeting with the bosses of these small forces, my father opposed his arbitrariness, and as a result, he put him under house arrest, and asked me to replace my father, and let me lead my people to help him fight, and if I did not obey, he would kill my father. ”
"I didn't have the face to go back, and I couldn't save my father, so I had to buy drunk in the county town and get drunk until I had no money. The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and the more he drank.
"I'm sorry, we can't help you. After knowing about Angfeng, Xiao Tao also became angry, but anger is anger, and he can't help Angfeng, after all, this is not a matter of paying back the wine money.
"It's okay, I'll take care of my business, I don't need your help. "Ang Feng said.
"By the way, that mercenary is in Cangma, is there anything abnormal? For example, what irrelevant people are you bringing here?" Taking advantage of Angfeng's drunkenness, Xiao Tao also took the opportunity to ask about the mercenaries, if Angfeng was sober, he might not dare to ask, it was easy for Angfeng to suspect.
"Irrelevant people, are you talking about captives?" asked Aung Feng suspiciously.
