Chapter Forty-Eight: The Visit of Dun Leha
A few days later, the base entered normal construction again, and Zheng Bin and the others were no longer disturbed by the knights of the Tieji tribe. In the past, when laying the foundation, no technology was needed, but the construction of the city wall could not be sloppy, so Cheng Lei specially invited the most famous architect of Yinta City to help with the design and construction, so as not to make any mistakes.
The migrant workers are also very energetic, because they are paid once a day, and the amount of wages is unimaginable when they were working as migrant workers elsewhere before. Zheng Bin also promised that if they did a good job, they could stay at the base of the Lion King Squadron in the future, and at that time, they could ensure the harvest in drought and flood, serve iron rice bowls, and also bring their families and allocate housing.
In this way, all the migrant workers have endless energy, and they all want to perform well and let Zheng Bin leave him. For these migrant workers who work outside all day long and are looked down upon, having food, clothing, money, and being able to see their families every day is a beautiful thing that no one can think of.
In the camp of the Lion King Squadron in Yinta City, Cheng Lei received an invitation from Duke Duozan early in the morning, saying that there was a distinguished guest to come, and as a particularly important person in Yinta City, Cheng Lei must attend this meeting. And solemnly emphasized that Cheng Lei should bring some of the soldiers of the mercenary guards, so that those distinguished guests could see the strength of Yinta City.
Cheng Lei thought to himself where did this distinguished guest come from, so that Duke Duozan could attach so much importance to it, could it be someone sent by the Federation? However, this is a little unreasonable, if it is really the Federation that sends people, Duke Dozan will not let him take people to the faΓ§ade. In this way, it can only be someone who is not very familiar with Silver Tower City, who will it be?
Cheng Lei's mind suddenly flashed, could it be someone from the Tieji tribe? That's right, just disturb the matter of the base for them Cheng Lei went to communicate with Duke Duozan, Duke Duozan must have sent someone to visit, now it must be someone from the Tieji tribe to pay a return visit, what agreement will the two sides reach again, it must be like this!
Since it is a person from the Tieji tribe, according to the current relationship between Cheng Lei and Qinglan, it is a relative, which is much closer than the cooperative relationship of Duke Duozan. The person who wants Cheng Lei to take someone to deter his father-in-law, Duke Duozan would definitely not do this if he knew about their relationship, so he definitely didn't know the relationship between Cheng Lei and Qinglan.
It seems that the confidentiality policy of the Lion King Squadron is still implemented very well, and even if something happens, it will not fall into the ears of others. However, if a large number of soldiers are recruited in the future, it will not necessarily be the case, and who knows if someone will cram a few spies in by then!
Cheng Lei still decided to take everyone in the Viper team to the Silver Tower, and he also had to be fully armed, so it was necessary for his future father-in-law to see his strength, but I don't know if Qinglan's father will come this time.
After the viper team was assembled, they headed towards the direction of the Silver Tower under the leadership of Cheng Lei, and many ordinary people looked at them as if they were watching a play, and they were still whispering.
"They are the mercenary guards in the old duke's mansion, I saw them during the celebration ceremony that day, and they are too mighty!"
"Yes, that's them. I've heard that it's not easy to get into this mercenary guard, and now people don't recruit soldiers at all, and if they do, I will definitely let my son sign up. β
"What's so good about being a soldier, that is, to give your life to others, I think it's better to farm honestly at home or do some small business!"
"Cut, you know what! You see, at the forefront is their leader Cheng, who is a decent person, and I heard that even those soldiers who cook and cook vegetables and raise horses have ten silver karens a month! β
"How much?"
"Ten silver culens, a month!"
"So much?"
"What do you think, this is not a fake, I once heard a soldier cook when I went to bring them firewood."
"If that's true, I'll have to think about asking my son to try it out when they recruit them......"
ββ¦β¦β
There are too many such conversations, and Cheng Lei listens to them in his ears and remembers them in his heart. Now it seems that the reputation of the mercenary guards has been established in Silver Tower City, and if it is said that it is going to recruit troops now, then many people will sign up immediately. However, now the recruit company is still being trained by Li Changcheng in a devilish way, Cheng Lei wants to wait a little longer, and when Li Changcheng trains these people, the base will be built with a rough outline, and then there will be better conditions for recruiting soldiers.
In the living room of the Silver Tower, Duke Duozan was waiting inside, and after entering the door, Cheng Lei asked the team members to stand at the door of the Silver Tower and wait. For these hard-tempered special forces, standing in a military posture under the sun is like playing.
Near noon, Xilin, who greeted the distinguished guests at the gate of the Silver Tower, came with news that the guests had entered the Silver Tower City and were being brought to the Silver Tower by Xilin. Duke Duozan looked a little nervous, and Cheng Lei also understood, after all, the Tieji tribe was a big tribe, and there were so many soldiers, it was normal for Duke Duozan to feel uneasy in his heart.
After waiting for a short time, Xilin took the distinguished guest into the Yinta conference hall. The guest who came first was a middle-aged man with a big beard, wearing a robe with various cattle, sheep and horses embroidered with gold thread. This middle-aged man has a lot of momentum, and the whole person has a powerful aura and is full of domineering.
Immediately behind the middle-aged man was a masked woman, dressed in red, whose face could not be seen, but her graceful figure could be seen. As soon as she came in, the woman's eyes were staring at Cheng Lei, and when she saw Cheng Lei looking at her, she gave him a wink.
Cheng Lei felt that this woman was a little familiar, and then he reacted, this is not Qinglan! No wonder I didn't recognize her, she changed into such a red dress, and the jewelry on her body and head were very different from before. Cheng Lei thought she was flattering to herself just now, but in fact, Qinglan was giving him a look!
"Duke Dozan, long time no see! It's been a few years, you've always been nice, right? The bearded middle-aged man greeted Duke Dozan in a characteristic loud voice.
Duke Dozan hurriedly stood up and said, "Chief of Dunleha, Dozan didn't know that you had come in person. β
"Hahaha, Duke Duozan is so kind, the old man is not the kind of person who likes to be polite, don't you know this?" After saying that, he sat down on the chair closest to Duke Dozan.
At this time, the Duke of Dozan said cautiously: "I heard that your tribe was affected by the disaster this year, so it moved to us, Leader of Dunleha, is the loss big?" β
"Alas, don't mention it, the losses are naturally there, but they are still within the range we can bear. I came this time for a purpose, when our Tieji tribe first came to your Silver Tower City, Duke Duozan promised to allow us to graze on the grassland south of the city, but now there is a piece of the best grassland that has been occupied to build a city......"
The leader of Dunleha, who is also Cheng Lei's future father-in-law, took a sip of tea and continued: "Why is such a good grassland so bad, we have negotiated an agreement with Daheng City, and we are ready to connect all the grasslands north of Daheng City and south of Yinta City, so that it can be enough for grazing needs." But you Silver Tower City suddenly came out to make such a play, Duke Dozan, tell me, what should we do? β
Duke Dozan said: "Actually, this base ...... In other words, the construction of this city really began with my consent. According to Mr. Cheng, now that the foundations of all the city walls have been laid, even if you want to restore the grassland, you can't restore it, in my opinion, there is not much difference between this grassland and this grassland, Commander Dunleha, you should be more considerate and considerate of us, after all, you are grazing on our grassland, we completely agree. β
"According to your wishes, my grazing on the southern steppes is a gift from your Duke of Dozan! Do I have to pay you some money? "Tun Leha was a little annoyed, his tribe had a great reputation in every state city of the Federation, and no one in the Scorching Sun Federation dared to mess with him. Even those big mercenaries were just as unhappy when they saw their knights, and now they actually touched such a soft nail in this small Silver Tower City, of course, they were very dissatisfied.
Duke Dozan said with a smiling face: "Chief of Dun Leha, I didn't mean that. I mean, now that we've broken ground on our base, we're still at peace with each other, right? β
Cheng Lei interjected at this time: "Leader Dunleha, you are too domineering, right?" It is our freedom to build cities in our own place, and we have to ask you for this? This was said so categorically that the leader of Dun Leha was a little speechless.
Cheng Lei said very reasonably, why should people build cities in their own places with your consent? If the chief of Dun Leha admits that he thinks this way, it means that he is simply too domineering to make sense everywhere.
However, how could the temper of the leader of Dun Leha be unbearable, Cheng Lei spoke to him like this: "Who are you, why haven't I seen you?" Duke Dozan, your subordinates are too unruly, aren't they? β
Qinglan tugged on Dun Leha's arm at this time and pinched his arm hard, "Ouch, Qinglan, what are you doing!" It hurt so much that he immediately cried out.
Qinglan muttered a few words in his ear, every time he said a word, Dun Leha glanced at Cheng Lei, after Qinglan finished speaking, Dun Leha softened a little: "Duke Duozan, let's reveal this grassland matter in one go, since this is already the case, there is no need to argue." In fact, there is one more thing for me to come this time, and that is to get me a batch of guns and ammunition from the Duke of Laozan. I met a large group of bandits near Daheng City before, and the ammunition was consumed quickly, so we were friends, so of course I was looking for you. β
