Chapter XVI Consultations

Cao Da's temperament was a little anxious, and he first asked, "What is the probability that Zang Baotu is true?" ”

"It came out of the black market auction house, but it is more likely, and they dare not destroy their own signboard at will!" Zhang Hua immediately took over and replied in a dull voice.

"In fact, no matter whether Zang Baotu is true or not, the risk of our vineyards in Phoenix Fort being exposed is the same, and the probability is quite high!"

Gongzi Wei Xing's words completely killed the illusions of several of them, whether the treasure map was true or false, at least nine groups of people had to completely turn over the surroundings of the lake;

If they can't find it, they have to go through it several times until they find the treasure or they find out that the treasure is fake.

In the process of searching around, it was discovered that the entrance to one end of the lake was normal.

Didn't the people of Phoenix Castle discover the inner valley by accident?

Besides, these people are looking for a purpose, so they will naturally find out faster!

"Isn't there only a narrow link between the inner valley and the middle valley? We can plug it up with rocks and abandon what is in the inner valley, and the inner valley has not had time to transplant the grape seedlings! Huyan Leopard suggested in a rough voice.

"Even if it is blocked, we can't completely erase the traces left in the inner valley in the recent past!"

"Unless there is a year and a half of hard work, let professional people do the old, it is possible to hide the things that exist behind the cracks! You can't expect the enemy's IQ to have problems, there are talented people in the Western Regions! Tang Zhongwei analyzed softly.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do? This is not my area of expertise, don't ask my opinion anymore, just be dumb when I'm dumb! Huyan Leopard was very impatient and irritable.

In fact, no one expected him to come up with any good solutions;

If you get to the point where you can expect him to come up with a good solution, it's almost time for everyone to be finished!

Seeing this, Xiahou Zhu, who was not far away, also felt that he would not come up with any good way, so he consciously closed his mouth and listened to everyone's discussion.

"If we find the treasure in advance, will we?" Cao Da asked.

Meng Ping, who had not spoken, calmly analyzed: "What if you find the treasure?" Swallowing it silently was not the same result, and the bandits were still desperately searching around the lake. ”

"Once the news leaks out, they won't tear up our Phoenix Castle! Unless we find the treasure as it is, we deliberately pass on the location of the treasure and let them fight dog-eat-dog! ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt that the last proposal was barely okay, and they all nodded happily in agreement;

Find the treasure first, deliberately leak it, and let all forces fight endlessly, so that Migu has no risk of being exposed.

"Uncles, the premise of finding the treasure first is not necessarily true! We have lived there for more than ten years, and we have not found a trace, and now it seems unrealistic to find the treasure in a very short time! ”

"This method can be used as an alternative for the time being, and we can only pray that we will have good luck and luck, and we will accidentally find the location of the treasure!" Gongzi Wei Xing analyzed in an orderly manner.

Everyone also knows what luck is, it is completely empty;

Whether it exists or not, the ancient and modern sages have not given a specific answer, and everyone has to treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and reluctantly regard it as one of the alternatives!

After a quarter of an hour, the oil lamps kept shaking in the wind, and the castle gradually fell silent, but no one made a sound, and everyone was thinking and meditating.

Gongzi Wei Xing coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "Uncles, I have a way that is not a way!" ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Childe's body and waited for him to speak.

"Have you noticed, the map on the parchment scroll, the range drawn is only about 200 miles, in the vast Western Regions, such a terrain is very inconspicuous."

Everyone nodded silently, and a few glimmers of hope inexplicably rose in their hearts, and they continued to wait for Childe to finish speaking.

"If it weren't for the people who used to live in this vicinity, it would be difficult to find this place from the Zang Bao map, and the people of the Qiang tribe only looked for the vicinity, maybe their tribe had passed through here as a nomad, and there was a vague impression!"

"What this means for us at Phoenix, it means we may still have plenty of time to develop our strengths."

"Even if the Qiang tribe finds out that the situation is not good, it will be a few months later; If you send someone to look for it, you have to start anew, and find this place again from thousands of miles away, and it will take some time in between! ”

"Other forces that don't live in this radius of thousands of miles don't have a year and a half to find here; There are many other Zang Baotu that have spread in the Western Regions, but what has not been found so far is not a big basket? ”

After listening to Childe's analysis, everyone nodded their heads and understood, it turned out that Phoenix Fort still had time to prepare;

Everyone was so panicked before, and felt as if the sky was about to fall, because they valued their own vineyards too much, and for a while they fascinated everyone's minds.

"In case someone is the illegitimate son of Lady Luck and hits us with great luck! Uncles, you can't complain about the boy! Gongzi Wei Xing took the opportunity to make a joke and enliven the oppressive atmosphere in the chamber.

Hearing Childe's joke, everyone burst into laughter and swept away the previous depression!

I thought to myself, if Phoenix Castle is really so unlucky, everyone will have no tricks, so they have to resign themselves to fate!

"That's a better speculation, but the worst is that we are forced to give up the vineyards and presses in the valley, and of course this is the worst plan!"

"At the last moment, the press can be destroyed, we can find another place to build, with the experience of the last time, I think we can rebuild one within three months, this loss we Phoenix Fort can bear!"

Everyone nodded, this loss was within the range that everyone could bear.

"As for the vineyards, if the critical moment comes, we would rather withdraw in pain than destroy ourselves!"

Cao Da immediately stood up and asked incomprehensibly, "Childe, why don't you let us destroy it?" Do we want to watch our vineyards being snatched away? ”

The other uncles have a similar mentality, and would rather destroy it than leave this cash cow to the most hateful bad guys.

"What a pity to ruin! In a few years, when our troops are sufficient and our strength is strong, we will naturally have to take it back, and the destroyed vineyards will eventually be our own losses! Gongzi Wei Xing explained seriously.

Everyone is right when you hear it, as long as a large number of young people come over in the next few years, what kind of soldiers will be lacking? Sooner or later, the vineyard will still belong to Fort Phoenix, and of course the vineyard cannot be destroyed!

Listening to Childe's analysis, everyone's anger and confusion suddenly became much better, and they were much more optimistic, and there was hope in their hearts again!

"Therefore, the most important thing for us in Phoenix Fort now is to reach a long-term cooperation agreement with the Demon Suppression Dart Bureau as soon as possible to obtain a large number of young people."

"Even if we lose everything in the valley, we don't care, we can get back on our feet, and we can get it back!" Gongzi Wei Xing took the opportunity to boost everyone's morale.

Everyone in the council chamber cheered up, no longer confused and uneasy, and knew what they had to do!

"It's late at night, but we have limited time; Uncle Hua, you take care of the leather armor and fur hat we brought back today, twenty-seven sets are gifts, and fifty sets are goods to be traded, which are divided into parts! ”

"Tomorrow morning, I will take someone to set off with Mr. Ning's dart head, and go to Liangzhou to meet the old man of the Demon Dart Bureau for a while!" Gongzi Wei Xing solemnly commanded.

"But, but, Mr. Ning's dart head is still injured, and it's only been a few days! Doesn't seem like it's okay? Tang Zhongwei reminded with some hesitation.

"Uncle Zhongwei, when we just came back in the evening, as soon as I revealed that I wanted to visit Old Man Ning earlier, the head of the dart was more anxious than me, urging me to hurry up!"

"Besides, the part of the arrow in the head of the total dart is the left arm, and with his dark cultivation, it will not affect the hurry!" Gongzi Wei Xing explained.

In fact, Phoenix Castle was even more anxious, the time was tighter, and even Mr. Ning didn't care about his injury, so everyone didn't say anything more!

"Uncles, you should rest early, and after a night, I will discuss some small matters with the chief dart!"

After greeting several uncles in turn, Gongzi Wei Xing walked out of the conference hall quickly and headed towards Mr. Ning's residence.

"Childe is only more than thirteen years old this year, and he is so capable, so we are ashamed, I hope that Phoenix Fort can survive this crisis and rejuvenate itself!" Meng Ping, who had a leg injury, sighed.

"Tomorrow morning, Xiahou, you will set off with Gongzi to protect his safety, and there must be no more thrilling things like the few days ago! It was a dereliction of duty for our subordinates to almost die on the battlefield to let Childe almost die on the battlefield! Tang Zhongwei scanned the hall back and forth with sharp eyes, and reprimanded in an extremely stern tone.

"It was my mistake that put Childe in danger!" Meng Ping immediately confessed his mistake.

"You are at fault, since you have injured your leg and have difficulty moving, why don't you give an order for Wei Zhong, Wei Cheng and others to coerce Gongzi to break through? With our leather armor, leather hats, and crossbows with three shots, we are still more than ninety percent sure that we will succeed in breaking through. Tang Zhongwei asked menacingly.

Several of the principals who were more authoritative than him were not at home, and he was now the de facto chief of Phoenix Castle, and he could not be silent like the others, and he had to give an account to everyone;

Otherwise, when the other principals return, he Tang Zhongwei will not explain!

It was a matter of Gongzi's safety, and the other people in the hall also attached great importance to it, quietly waiting for Meng Ping's explanation.

"When I led a small team to set up a sentry, I happened to encounter an attack by thousands of horsemen and bandits, and in the process of fighting and retreating, I was unfortunately hit by an arrow! If it weren't for Wei Zhong and Wei Cheng, the two boys who brought people to help, I and several other cavalrymen who were also injured would have been scrapped, and they would have been put on their backs to the camp in a coma! ”

"When I woke up, the battle had reached the second half, and a hundred-man skeleton banner had already charged the camp, and I and the wounded cavalrymen had to climb under the wagon and shoot desperately!"

"After crippling this 100-person skeleton flag, Childe is boosting the morale of all the living people again, holding on until the last moment, waiting for reinforcements to arrive!"

"The people who were still alive at the time of the Chamber of Commerce were very nervous, and they all relied on the encouragement of Gongzi to persist in fighting! If I had ordered the people of Phoenix Fort to coerce Childe to break through at that time, the people of the Chamber of Commerce would immediately feel that they had been abandoned and betrayed, and the civil strife would ignite in an instant, and the situation would be out of control! ”

"At that time, Gongzi was very strong and had the command of the whole situation, and the cavalry of Phoenix Fort would not necessarily follow my orders at that time! Everyone is red-eyed, there are too many dead people around them, and they all have the psychology of dying in battle; I hinted to Wei Zhong and Wei Cheng twice, but they were consciously or unconsciously ignored! ”

"Soon, the remaining outer bandits and skeleton banners launched a final charge, and you happened to arrive just in time! Otherwise, the situation is unimaginable! ”

Everyone pondered, if they replaced themselves with Meng Ping, what should they do at that time?

is ruthless, leaving behind his comrades-in-arms who have just lived and died together, coercing Childe, so that Childe will immediately lose his trust and break through!

Still like Meng Ping, with extreme apprehension, let Gongzi fight with everyone and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

、、、、、、

After a few incense sticks, everyone had their own understanding in their hearts, and Meng Ping was also helpless at that time.

Even if he gave an order to the cavalry of Phoenix Fort and forced Gongzi to break through;

This order will inevitably be strongly denied by the prince who controls the overall situation, and at the same time, it will also cause the people of the Chamber of Commerce to be alienated, so that everyone will not be able to hold on to the time when reinforcements arrive.

Even if it is changed to the current one, let Meng Ping choose again by himself, he is very conflicted, and he doesn't know what to do right!

At the same time, Mr. Ning sent Gongzi Wei Xing out of the room politely.

"I hope that the matters we discussed privately this time are best not used!"

"Once I use it, I will definitely be expelled from the Ning family by the old man." Mr. Ning said with a wry smile mysteriously.

"I hope it doesn't work out in the end!"

"Chief dart, you are also thinking about the future of the Ning family, and also for the sake of your children and relatives, this is a natural and normal thing!" Gongzi Wei Xing comforted calmly.

If someone stood beside the two of them and heard their conversation, they must feel very inexplicable, unintelligible, and completely unable to understand the meaning of their words.

This is just a personal agreement reached by the two in private, and it has nothing to do with Phoenix Fort or the Demon Suppression Dart Bureau.

For a long time afterward, Gongzi Wei Xingdu sighed at his cleverness, and privately made a gentleman's agreement with Ning Zhenhu, who was chivalrous in the rivers and lakes, in advance, and finally did not cause irreparable losses.

If Gongzi Wei Xing hadn't thought of this little backhand to prevent risks, the future of Phoenix Fort would have been a completely different scene!
