Chapter 8: Dumo's Visit
When Cheng Lei heard that he was invited to dinner, he turned around and went back, which made Duke Duozan very puzzled, and many things about these outsiders were incomprehensible to them. For example, after they entered the city, no one went to the tavern to drink, and no one went to the fireworks in the city to release **.
And they are all day long in an orderly manner, according to the people who invited Cheng Lei to come back, they have installed a lot of strange things on the horse farm of the old duke's mansion, and also made a lot of things that I don't know what they are used for.
However, for the Duke of Dozan, the more mysterious his allies are, the better, and it is better to be so mysterious that Barry and they feel helpless and surrender to them, although this is not a possibility.
"In this way, it is quite difficult to invite this Mr. Cheng to meet." Duke Dozan said as he sipped the wine in his glass.
Du Mo said with some trepidation: "It's the villain who is incompetent and didn't keep Mr. Cheng." ”
Duke Duozan waved his hand: "I don't blame you, capable people will have some incomprehensible actions. In this way, on behalf of me, you can have a good talk with Mr. Cheng, fully convey my meaning, and then bring Mr. Cheng's opinion back. ”
"Yes!" Du Mo didn't say anything more, and bowed down.
In the evening, Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin, Shao Qian, the leader of the Night Lion Squad, Yin Kaicheng, the leader of the War Eagle Squad, and Pan Jin, the leader of the Viper Squad, sat around the table of the command center, drinking and talking.
Cheng Lei took a sip of wine, frowned and said, "Lao Zheng, why is their wine so unpalatable, the taste is very light, not to mention, it's quite good." ”
Zheng Bin smiled: "It's good to drink some, but you still pick fat and thin." Kaesong, don't you know how to make liquor? Brew a little for our captain so that he can have a good time with alcohol. ”
Yin Kaicheng said with a smile: "This is absolutely no problem, but you need good grain to make liquor." I think when I was not a soldier, when I came home from school or on vacation, I would help my father, and the wine he brewed was very famous in my hometown......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but redden, everyone knew what he thought, and maybe, he would never see his father again.
"Come, come, drink! Don't think about those who are not happy, today we Chef Zheng will show his skills, and everyone will give me good food and drink! Cheng Lei began to drink.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone at the table was almost drunk, and Pan Jin said with a big tongue: "I said, the five of us, except for the instructor who has been married, everyone else is still a child**?" Even if it's not a boy chicken, it's just a few times of meat, similar to a boy chicken, you say, can we marry a daughter-in-law here? ”
"Haha, you kid! That day, Xilin mysteriously asked me if I wanted to go to Huanxi Building to relax, and I hadn't come back to it at the time. Later, I found out what that place was for......" Cheng Lei paused deliberately and threw a peanut into his mouth.
"What for?" Everyone else put down their chopsticks and wine glasses and asked in unison.
Cheng Lei saw that the effect was achieved, so he stopped selling Guanzi and said: "The land of fireworks is all kilns. If any of you want to play, I will immediately ask Lao Zheng to bring each of you a golden vick, so that you can go and have a good time! ”
As soon as these people heard that it was a place of fireworks, they were interested, and they all talked about it for a while, but everyone shook their heads. It is said that if you go to this kind of place, you are afraid of losing your identity, and you will lose face in front of the people of Silver Tower City.
And they all scoffed at Cheng Lei's only one Jin Wei, thinking that he was too stingy. When Cheng Lei explained to them that the value of a Jin Wei was about 600 catties of pork or half a horse, except for Zheng Bin, who knew the inside story, everyone else couldn't help but be surprised.
"Report! Duke Dozan's diplomatic lieutenant asks to see the squadron leader. A sentry reported at the door.
Cheng Lei waved his hand and said, "Let him come in!" ”
"Yes!" The sentry received the order and went out.
After a while, Du Mo appeared at the door, and after seeing Cheng Lei, he saluted and said, "Mr. Cheng, don't see the lower officials." ”
Cheng Lei hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute, which is very powerful in front of Duke Duozan, but he is so cautious. could have intersected with Cheng Lei on an equal footing, but he had to put on a posture of going down to meet his boss, and I have to say that this person is very scheming.
And Cheng Lei also admired his ability to do things before, and he wanted to recruit him more and more into his command. But this man is Duke Dozan's red man, and these things can only be said later.
"Mr. Cheng, His Excellency the Duke sent me here. Originally, His Excellency the Duke wanted to discuss something with you, Sir, at lunch today. But you have important matters to do and therefore do not stay for dinner, so I will discuss it with you on behalf of the Duke. Du Mo still bowed slightly and said.
It turned out that people really had something important to discuss at noon today, Cheng Lei glanced at Zheng Bin, Zheng Bin's face was a little dark, probably thinking that he almost delayed the big event. Cheng Lei hurriedly asked Du Mo to sit down, and everyone else except Zheng Bin said goodbye, leaving only the three of them in the room.
Du Mo has never seen Zheng Bin: "Who is this?" ”
"Oh, this is Mr. Zheng, who, like me, is the first commander of our army. Lao Zheng, this is the red man next to Duke Duozan, the diplomatic adjutant, Mr. Du Mo. Cheng Lei introduced unhurriedly.
After listening to Cheng Lei's words, Du Mo's eyes immediately changed when he looked at Zheng Bin, and he felt a little solemn: "Mr. Zheng, I am fortunate to have it, I didn't expect that your army has two chief officers." The lower officials are all Mo, and they will have to rely on the care of Mr. Cheng and Mr. Zheng in the future. ”
Zheng Bin smiled: "Even if I am the second chief, Mr. Cheng is our first chief." Mr. Dumo, you are serious, we are new to the city, and we have to rely on you. ”
"No, no, no." Du Mo hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No matter which of you is the first commander and who is the second commander, anyway, the two of you are the biggest in this army." We, the Duke of Dozan, really rely entirely on you, and the two gentlemen also know that all the elite soldiers and sophisticated weapons and horses in our city are in the hands of Bairi. ”
"The strength of the other two guards is simply not enough to compete with the First Guard. Originally, Baili united several high-ranking figures to seize power, and Duke Dozan was really embarrassed. But on that very day, Lord Xilin brought you back and told us that your army had wiped out the four Lion Dogmons in a quarter of an hour, and that such a powerful force was beyond our imagination. ”
Du Mo took a sip of tea and continued, "So our Excellency the Duke has the intention of cooperating with you. The matter of cooperation was very well discussed that day, and the Duke of Dozan was very happy. ”
Cheng Lei said with some doubts: "Didn't that Baili say that day that they also often hunt lion dogs?" ”
Du Mo said disdainfully: "They all dispatched hundreds of people at a time, and they were able to destroy so many lion beasts, and they were often attacked by lion dog beasts and lost many lives. ”
As soon as he said this, Cheng Lei felt that it was reasonable, so he continued to ask: "So Duke Duozan sent you here today to prepare to fight with Baili?" ”
Du Mo said with some embarrassment: "Your Excellency the Duke means to postpone the coming of the real sword and spear with Baili first. He wants to draw the First Guard in the hands of Baili little by little under the threat of your force, so that it can be used as a means of long-term peace. ”
Cheng Lei smiled: "It seems that Duke Duozan still can't believe me!" But no problem, since I promised him to help him to the end, then I won't backtrack. ”
"Then thank you Mr. Cheng, our Lord actually doesn't have any other thoughts, just for the sake of the future of Silver Tower City. And once there is a rush, the interests of all parties involved in it will become abrupt, so that everything will be difficult to control. ”
Cheng Lei nodded: "You go back and tell Duke Duozan, no matter whether he is fast or slow, as long as he can take back the power." And I will definitely support him with all my might, but he can't forget to promise me, before the success of the 300 gold vik per month, after the success of my 30% can not be less! ”
Du Mo nodded heavily: "I will definitely bring this, if Mr. Cheng has nothing else, I will retire first." ”
Cheng Lei sent Du Mo away and said to Zheng Bin: "Praise this old guy, I sent Du Mo here today to touch our bottom." Let's see if we have that much strength. And he also wants to kill two birds with one stone. ”
Zheng Bin said: "Yes, it is indeed killing two birds with one stone." If it happens, he can sit in Silver Tower City, and he can have a good guard, and he can prevent us from thinking anything else. It's really a good way to drive wolves and tigers, I admire him a little! ”
Cheng Lei waved his hand and said: "More than that, he is actually mainly here today to see if we are sincere to him." If we don't agree with him, I'm sure he'll immediately join forces with Bairi to strike at us, after all, we're real outsiders. And do you really believe that his real strength in Silver Tower City is just that? ”
Zheng Bin nodded and said, "Of course I won't believe it, although this Silver Tower City is equivalent to a miniature city in our previous world, it has a large population. Of course, they can't just have such a small number of troops at the moment, I'm afraid that there are some secrets hidden in places we don't know, right? ”
"Well, I think so too. Alas, there are still too few of us, and there are only about 50 of them, which is enough to say that we usually fight a drug dealer gang or something. But now it is a struggle for power and position, and it is not too much to come to a brigade. Cheng Lei sighed and said.
"Okay, okay, don't dream there, come to a brigade? Why don't you say it, just come to a Tanbu group and raze the city! Why do you keep thinking about those unrealistic things! Zheng Bin teased him.
Cheng Lei smiled and didn't say anything more. In the past, when I was in the army, there was a brigade covering me above, and there were team members on top of it, and I was not afraid of anything. Now that you have to make your own decisions, it feels like you're struggling, it's not easy!
