Chapter 70: Head to Head
In the Council Hall of the Silver Tower, Duke Dozan was still sitting on the main seat, but instead of the calm and majestic feeling he had in the past, he looked a little depressed and preoccupied. Sitting at the head of Duke Dozan is a sturdy man, who looks a little rough but has a heroic face, especially like an actor that Cheng Lei has watched on TV before, this person should be Satban.
Satban was talking to Duke Dozan about something, probably the details of an alliance or something. Cheng Lei carefully looked at his rival. Sathban wore a dark yellow military uniform, a pair of black military boots on his feet, and a saber at his waist. Leaning back in his chair, he looked arrogant. The more Cheng Lei looked at him, the more familiar he felt, and it took a long time to react, it turned out that this guy was almost the same as the ghost officer in the anti-Japanese drama when he watched it before.
Cheng Lei has a desire to destroy this guy with one shot, who made Cheng Lei a downright angry young man! But this is not the original world, Cheng Lei thought calmly and calmly in his heart, which slowly stabilized his manic heart.
"This is Mr. Cheng, we've met before!" After seeing Cheng Lei, Sathban stood up and said enthusiastically.
Cheng Lei had the impression that he had indeed met this guy when he came to the Silver Tower in Dun Leha, but he still deliberately asked, "Who are you?" ”
Sathban was almost suffocated to the ground by him, this was simply too shameless, he didn't know that this was Cheng Lei's usual trick to ridicule people, so he had to introduce himself seriously: "Contemptible Sathban, once the captain of the personal guard of the leader of the Tieji tribe Dunleha, is now the captain of the third gendarmerie of Daheng City. This time, I came to Yinta City as an envoy and signed an alliance agreement. ”
Cheng Lei said a little casually: "So that's the case, then you have to sign this agreement with His Excellency the Duke, I don't have that much power." Let's talk! The meaning of his words is very clear, that is, it is useless for you to tell me this, let's find Duke Dozan for these things!
Then Cheng Lei found a chair and sat down with a big grin, and then stared at Sattban intently. Satban was a little hairy by him, and asked, "Why does Mr. Cheng look at me like this?" ”
Cheng Lei smiled: "It's nothing, I just want to see what the traitors of the Tieji tribe look like, and I can talk to others about it in the future." I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that a man who looked so heroic would become a traitor, I really didn't expect it! ”
Sathban became angry at this moment, and complained to Duke Dozan: "Your Excellency Duke, can we still talk, he insulted me so much, how can I sign this agreement with you." Did you come to him to deliberately embarrass me, and then deliberately want not to sign an agreement? ”
A big hat was buttoned down by Duke Duozan, and Duke Duozan was a little caught off guard: "Mr. Sathban, you misunderstood, Mr. Cheng didn't mean that." Mr. Cheng, can you just say a few words less, and wait until we sign the agreement? "Duke Duozan originally asked Cheng Lei to stand and cheer, but he didn't know that there were still those unknown things between Cheng Lei and Sathban.
It's good now, Cheng Lei provoked Sathban with two sentences, which Duke Duozan didn't expect. If he knew this, he would not have sent Du Mo to find Cheng Lei if he killed Duke Duozan, this was really lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.
Cheng Lei said with a smile: "Since His Excellency the Duke said so, of course I agree." Let's talk, I'll listen to it, but Mr. Satban, don't embarrass our Lord too much, or I won't agree! After saying that, he lit a cigarette and smoked it leisurely.
Sathban looked at Cheng Lei like this, and his heart felt like he had eaten a hundred flies. This guy snatched Qinglan away, and then he was arrogant in front of his Sathban, wait, if his army occupies Yinta City in the future, Sathban will definitely kill Cheng Lei in front of Qinglan!
He thought so viciously in his heart, but on the surface, he looked calm and light. No, Cheng Lei knew in his heart what Satban was thinking, and he knew that Satban must be eager to hurry up to the streets now to relieve the hatred in his heart!
Cheng Lei also listened carefully to the negotiation between Satban and Duke Duozan, and what Satban said the most was that in the future, Yinta City would pay taxes to the headquarters of the Imperial Insult Alliance initiated by Daheng City. The army of the Imperial Alliance, also known as the Great Heng City Mogoda, will protect the safety of all the city-states that join the Alliance, and those taxes will be used as the Alliance's funds and the army's military expenses.
After talking for a long time, Cheng Lei didn't hear any unequal clauses or anything, it seems that Mo Geda didn't dare to go too far at the beginning of the establishment of this alliance. After all, it is the right way to gather these city-states first, and then slowly squeeze them, and Cheng Lei will do the same.
Duke Dozan and Sathban formally signed this alliance agreement, and both parties were quite satisfied. After putting the agreement away, Sathban said to Duke Dozan, "Your Excellency, thank you for your cooperation with us, and I believe that we will become a good ally. ”
Duke Dozan said with a smile: "This alliance initiated by Daheng City is for the sake of the future safety of our autonomous city-states, of course I will spare no effort to support it, and I hope that we will cooperate happily in the future." I owe it to you, Mr. Satban, very grateful. ”
Sathban was praised by Duke Dozan like this, and he suddenly felt a little fluttering. And he saw that Cheng Lei seemed to listen to Duke Duozan's words before, so he wishfully thought that Duke Duozan could master Cheng Lei, and said to Cheng Lei with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, do you know who the woman I loved the most when I was in the Tieji tribe?" Tell you, I've been a childhood sweetheart with Qinglan since childhood, and now I've been robbed by you, I'm really unwilling! ”
"But...... I can't guarantee what the future will look like. I am now the captain of the 3rd Gendarmerie of Daheng City, do you know how strong my 3rd Gendarmerie is? Those are brave and warlike men! Although I may be open to you in the future for the sake of Duke Dozan's face, I'm still very angry about today's incident, you know? ”
At this time, the Duke of Dozan persuaded on the side: "Mr. Satban, the previous things have passed, what do you still want to do?" Today, Mr. Cheng is just a slip of the tongue, you must not take it to heart. Then he glanced at Cheng Lei, meaning to let him take a step and not provoke Sathban.
Cheng Lei quietly listened to Satban's excited words, and said with a smile: "Mr. Satban, the captain of the Third Gendarmerie of Daheng City, right?" Sathban nodded proudly.
"In my eyes, that's a fart!" Cheng Lei's face turned cold: "Sathban, can you, a little gendarmerie captain, sway Mo Goda's thoughts?" Don't you think that's ridiculous? Okay, let's not talk about the past or the future, just the present! Do you believe it or not, as long as I say a word, you can't even get out of Silver Tower City now?! ”
Sathban's face changed greatly, and Duke Dozan's face became particularly unsightly. After a long while, Sathban said, "Mr. Cheng, don't be angry, I was just joking. Your Excellency Duke, since we have signed an agreement, then we are allies, and please send someone to escort me back to Daheng City!" ”
Sathban is really scheming and timid enough, but although he is timid, he does things very carefully. Cheng Lei did have the idea of killing him halfway, but he didn't expect this guy to think in advance, if he was put on the battlefield, this guy would probably be a strong opponent.
Duke Dozan immediately sent Xilin with the Silver Tower gendarmerie to escort Satban away, but Satban didn't dare to stay for a moment, and didn't even dare to say a cruel word when he left, like a lost dog. It seems that Cheng Lei is ruthless, and a tough guy like Sathban will feel cold and scared.
"Mr. Cheng, I'm really sorry that you have been wronged for our Silver Tower City!" Duke Dozan saw that Sathban was walking away, so he turned his head and said to Cheng Lei. Although Duke Duozan made peace between Cheng Lei and Satban, in fact, the most difficult thing to do was him, one side was his closest ally, and the other side was an unprovoked messenger.
Of course, Cheng Lei knew this situation and reason, so he smiled at Duke Duozan and said, "Your Excellency, is there still a need to say these foreign words in our relationship?" Actually, I'm sorry for you, and I shouldn't have angered Sathban on this special day. But what this guy said was so infuriating, I just couldn't stand it! ”
Duke Dozan said: "I understand Mr. Cheng's feelings, if it were me, I might not be able to bear it. Mr. Cheng, you must remember that if someone wants to be unfavorable to you, I will be the first to disagree. If Daheng City goes to war with you for Sathban, Silver Tower City will definitely fight side by side with you! ”
In fact, even if Duke Duozan didn't say this, Cheng Lei wouldn't say anything. But now his words made Cheng Lei feel very moved, after all, at this very sensitive moment, even just showing his heart requires great courage and strength.
At noon, Cheng Lei accompanied Duke Duozan to have a meal on the rooftop of the Silver Tower, and the two of them carefully analyzed the current pattern of the Scorching Sun Federation and the forces in all aspects. Cheng Lei also said many suggestions for the development direction of the Yinta City army in the future, and promised to write a development plan for the army for Xiling and Xilin in the future.
Duke Duozan also inquired about Cheng Lei's recruitment. Cheng Lei told him that the recruitment work was going well, and assured Duke Dozan that if he was given a year to train soldiers, then the armed forces of Daheng City would not have to worry about it at all. At that time, Yinta City will also become the 10,000-year foundation of Duke Duozan, as long as Cheng Lei is in one day, Yinta City will not be replaced by someone else as the master.
After Duke Duozan got Cheng Lei's promise, he was like eating honey, so beautiful that he didn't know what to do, he immediately promised to fully support Cheng Lei in recruiting soldiers and developing armaments, and also asked people to take another 10,000 gold victor to send to the Lion King squadron camp, saying that this was his additional funds for the mercenary guards.
