Chapter 272: Counting in One Fell Swoop
The train, which had been at Cabinet Hill Station for half a day, finally set off again, but there were a few more special passengers on board.
"Your name is Cold Shadow?"
Qingmei looked at the cool cold shadow opposite and asked with a smile.
"Hmm."
"You're from?"
"The Land of the Jungle."
"The Land of the Jungle."
Qingmei said with a little excitement: "That is the habitat of the Black Shadow Legion, and we have countless glory in our demon clan, I really don't understand why you left there?" ”
Hanying said lightly: "Thank you so much." ”
A touch of embarrassment immediately flashed in Qingmei's eyes, but he said with a smile: "Is it because of the Fountain of Eternal Life?" ”
Hanying didn't make a sound, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
Qingmei smiled: "Actually, I look at your talent, even if you don't drink that spiritual spring water, you can cultivate into a perfect demon clan ......." ”
Without waiting for her to finish, Han Ying said directly: "May I ask if you want to entrap me so that I can help you spy on Li Qi?" ”
Qingmei's face changed, and he said, "Why do you think so?" ”
But that's just the way it is.
The corners of Hanying's mouth raised slightly, "Because I know you very well, and I will not compromise the means to achieve the goal." Please forgive me for being so direct, because I don't want to waste your time and I won't help you. ”
Consistently simple and straightforward.
Qingmei said with a snort: "Don't think that following Li Qi, you can talk to me like this, he is just a human being." ”
Han Ying glanced at Qingmei lightly, and said, "This has nothing to do with Li Qi, when I was in the land of the dense forest, this is how I talked to a demon clan like you, which is why I was sold to the kingdom." ”
"You ---!"
Qingmei was about to go crazy when she suddenly heard a laugh, "Look what I found." ”
I saw Yisheng walking over with a jar of wine and a few jade cups.
Qingmei glanced at Yisheng and said lightly: "It's really time for you to come!" ”
Yisheng said with a smile: "At this time, in the territory of the Huaxia Alliance, how can it be missing. ”
"I'll go out and breathe."
Cold Shadow got up and walked outside.
Yisheng glanced at the cold shadow, and then said to Qingmei: "It's not a wise move to quarrel with her at this time. ”
Qingmei said disdainfully: "She's just a little demon." ”
Yisheng said: "You may not know Li Qi, if you really treat her, then we have to be on guard at all times, Li Qi's revenge, his revenge should not be underestimated, the lessons of the kingdom have been told to us." ”
Qingmei said: "How can you look up to this human being so much like a plain girl." ”
Yisheng said: "Originally, I still had reservations, but today, if I underestimate him, it can only be said to be stupid." ”
.......
And at the other end of the carriage, there was also a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, at least Master Li thought so.
"This steam car is really magical, I don't think I think it from a distance, only when I sit on it, can I feel its magic."
Su Nu looked at the receding scenery outside the window, and couldn't help but look at Li Qi who was sitting opposite, and asked, "This is what you came up with?" ”
Li Qi gently shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "I came up with this idea, but it was developed more by relying on the engineers of our Huaxia tribe after countless days and nights of hard work. ”
Su Nu smiled and groaned: "In other words, you have already owned the steam car, but you have not taken it out because you are afraid of the kingdom, did you already think that there would be a battle today?" ”
Alas... I really can't talk to her seriously, and her thinking is too quick. Li Qi smiled bitterly: "I thought you invited me here to talk to me about your feelings." ”
Goddess Su said seriously: "Don't play this game with me again, I'm here specially, not to appreciate your poor mouth again, I just want to talk to you seriously, after all, we have never talked about it seriously, unless you think that the cooperation between us is limited to this." ”
"Wow! Don't be so serious. ”
"Yes."
Su Nu nodded seriously.
The cooperation between them is the key to the whole battle, but they have never talked about it seriously, it is completely based on tacit understanding, but tacit understanding can only be assisted, and if you want to return to tacit understanding, it can only be said to be a kind of death.
“......! All right! ”
Li Qi put away his hippie smile and said: "I'm not a god, how could I have predicted such a battle in advance, I didn't even expect the Yaqi Legion, which almost made me defeated." ”
Su Nu said: "But I don't believe that you just developed this steam car at a critical time, and the technology of this steam car is very complicated. ”
"Of course not." Li Qi shook his head and said: "You said it right, I have indeed been developing steam cars for a long time, for me, just be prepared, if the kingdom has been taking care of us, then of course I will not take it out, there is no need, the kingdom's transport team is also very powerful, but it must also be had, I don't like to hold everything in the hands of others." ”
"Including rifles."
"Hmm."
Su Nu nodded slightly, and said secretly, he can really bear it!
Such an invention of Niu X, in which the interests of the blind can be seen, no matter which race it is in, it is impossible to hide it for so long, but Li Qi can endure it, and he will never take it out until the best time, which is really not easy!
"But..."
Su Nu said: "But the kingdom will never ignore this steam car, and with their ability, I think they should also be able to build this steam car." ”
Li Qi said: "Then I have no choice, I developed this steam car for ourselves, as long as we can use it ourselves, not to fight against the kingdom, this can't be opposed, of course, if you want to produce this steam car, I will also help you, in short, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can get it." ”
Su Nu pursed her lips and smiled, "Really? ”
"Really."
Li Qi said: "I am a property owner, I think there is nothing in this world that money can't buy, if you can't, then add a little more money." ”
Su Nu smiled lightly and said, "This is beyond my expectations, I will seriously consider it." At this point, she paused, and then said, "I wonder how you plan to get along with the kingdom in the future?" ”
"It's not up to me."
Li Qi shook his head and said, "It depends on what the kingdom thinks, of course I hope that peace is precious." ”
"Harmony is precious?" Su Nu said: "This is a little disappointing to me. ”
Li Qi said, "I thought you would be very happy about it. ”
Su Nu was stunned and said, "Why? ”
Li Qi said: "Because I think it is in your best interest for us to pursue independence, if I don't think so, do you think I will choose to join you, or continue to join the kingdom?" ”
When the plain girl heard this, she was silent.
Of course, she hopes that Li Qi can completely favor them, and even she directly controls the entire Huaxia Alliance, in this way, it means that their Moon Three Clans will always maintain pressure on the two fronts of the kingdom, but Li Qi said more reasonably, if you want to choose a side, Li Qi must choose the kingdom, because the kingdom is on the side, and the influence cannot be ignored, their Moon Three Clans are too far away, and in peacetime, it is difficult to get too many benefits by following the Moon Three Clans.
In other words, it is an independent Huaxia Alliance, which is most in line with the interests of the three Moon clans, at least they are also independent of the kingdom.
This also shows that Li Qi's will is to pursue independence, and none of you will want to control us.
Li Qi smiled: "After talking for so long, shouldn't we talk about cooperation first?" ”
The plain girl was stunned and said, "Trade? ”
Li Qi nodded.
Su Nu used her green jade fingers to play with a delicate jade cup, however, the jade cup was only eclipsed in her hand, playing with the taste: "In the past, you were able to sell us wine, but now that the secret recipe of wine has been revealed, I can't think of anything else you can sell us except for steam cars and rifles." ”
Li Qi said: "My opinion is just the opposite of yours, I think our Huaxia Alliance is simply a perfect complement to you. ”
Su Nu was curious: "Really? ”
"Of course."
Li Qi pulled down his clothes, "It's like clothes, shoes and socks, etc." ”
Su Nu was slightly disappointed and said: "We can also produce these, why buy yours." ”
"You know, I used to be a cook, and my cooking skills brought wealth to us human beings, and even everything, but now, I hardly go into the cooking room, not that I can't make a profit if I stay in the cooking room, but in comparison, I stay outside the cooking room, and the benefits are far more than if I stay in the cooking room, so I choose to stay outside."
In the same way, who are you, the perfect race, with great strength and superior intelligence, do you think it is normal to use this great power and superior wisdom to make clothes? You should do something more meaningful, such as research and development of the Fountain of Eternal Life, and so on, and of course we should do such hard work. ”
Su Nu smiled: "You seem to have a point, but don't forget, there are also many second-class races living on our side. ”
Li Qi said: "Of course I know, but when you are engaged in high-end technology, you always need helpers, especially now, your losses in this battle are not small, and you have lost a lot of labor, if you hand over these stupid jobs and inconsequential hard work to us, then you can concentrate on doing big things and maintain rapid development." This will also help you recover as soon as possible, so that you will not fall too far behind the kingdom. ”
Su Nu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Then what do you want from us?" ”
"Resources."
Li Qi smiled: "You know, what we lack here is resources, which has always relied on the supply of the kingdom before, although I don't know if the kingdom is willing to continue to provide us, but I think that since we want to be independent, then the resources cannot be completely controlled by the kingdom, in that case, the kingdom will hold our lifeline."
For you, resources like black iron are irrelevant, you only need to take the resources you don't need, you can get a lot of materials from us, so that you can concentrate on developing more high-end technology, and at the same time, you can also have an independent tribe on the edge of the kingdom, become more powerful, and at the same time, it can also ensure close contacts between us, no matter how much you want to do it, it is not an exaggeration, in this case, why don't we cooperate? ”
"Awesome! Terrible! ”
Su Nu smiled and nodded, "No wonder you were able to lead the development of mankind so quickly, with your mouth alone, you are better than this fine wine, steam cart, and rifle." ”
