"Yes, today's Sawada Jida is indeed not a qualified hole card, but we can still use him to contain some ordinary members of the public faction, or those undercover agents who are unwilling to reveal their identities at the first time."

Liu Xing moved his neck and said with a smile: "This is the best use of things, we only have so many people on our hands now, it is naturally good to have one more person to help." ”

Soon, Liu Xing and the others returned to the farm before dinner.

At this time, the farm has undergone earth-shaking changes, simply put, Koo Bone Kawa and the members of the Yellow Clothes Sect have renovated the countryside, turning the already very dilapidated houses into new ones, and there are many more prefabricated houses, making the farm look like a construction site owned by Sawada Construction.

"You're finally back."

Yin Eun, who was guarding the door, said lazily: "Watanabe Meteor has sent another team of people, and the manpower on the farm is almost four figures." ”

"So many people? Can't there be so many people on that farm? I mean you should live in it, but it's not a small number for so many people to eat, drink, and Lazar. Liu Xing said with some surprise.

Yin En shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "So those people who worship the Huangyi Sect are renovating the farm under the leadership of Guchuan Xiaofu, and several truckloads of various kitchen utensils have been sent in just now, so Brother Ding and I are only now out to be janitors, to ensure that there will be no undercover agents from the public faction mixed in." ”

Yin En pointed to his head as he spoke, and Liu Xing and the others found that Ding Kun was squatting on the gate, with a "burning stick" in his hand.

"Huh? Brother Ding, what do you have in your hand is Mosingana? Zhang Jingxu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Ding Kun nodded, and said with a smile: "That's right, this is the Mosin Nagant that I got from Watanabe Meteor, although it is already an old antique, but it is still quite easy to use, and Watanabe Meteor also got me a high-magnification mirror, and when the time comes, I will find a commanding height near the natural gas tank factory to help you keep watch." ”

After a few words of greeting, Liu Xing and the others entered the farm, but as soon as they walked into the main building of the farm, they were pulled by Zhang Wenbing and others to make dumplings.

"After all, the Yellow Clothes Sect is still here to help us, so no matter what we say about this meal tonight, we have to do it ourselves to prove that we don't just treat them as tools."

Zhang Wenbing wrapped the dumplings very skillfully, and said with a smile: "When I used to work in the company, I would have a dinner at home with my colleagues once a month, and this dumpling was the must-have menu for each of our dinners. ”

Liu Xing wrapped dumplings a little awkwardly and said: "Yes, when I was in college before, the counselor also arranged for us to make dumplings in the cafeteria in order to get familiar with us students from all over the world as soon as possible... Although the one thing I remember most about this meal is that I ate a dumpling full of sugar. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xing felt that he was articulate, and a sweetness welled up in his heart.

"Hahaha, this is normal, there will always be people who like to do some pranks when wrapping things, for example, when I was helping my family make buns, I deliberately put a condensed salt cube in a bun, and I also made a mark on this bun that I thought I could see, but I didn't expect that after the bun was finished, the mark disappeared directly, so in the end I suffered myself and ate the salty bun." Li Hanxing said with a smile: "Actually, I'm quite good at making steamed buns, because my family used to open an early shop, so I'll make you an authentic barbecued pork bun when I go back, and the taste is not too good." ”

In the laughter, a plate of dumplings was served on a steamer, which made Liu Xing feel happy for a long time.

If this isn't the Cthulhu Run lobby, that's even better.

This dinner was a pleasure for both the guests and the hosts.

After dinner, Liu Xing and the others got together very tacitly and opened the secret room time.

"First of all, let's all celebrate Liu Xing first, because he has finally become a player again!"

Yin Eun said serious nonsense: "Do you know what this represents? This means that our small team finally has no one to paddle. ”

Liu Xing glanced at Yin En, pretended to be angry and said, "Yin En, don't talk nonsense, why am I paddling?" Although I didn't have the means to judge before, I did everything I had to do, unlike Yin Eun, a salted fish who knows how to keep the goal. ”

"Hey, Liu Xing, how do you talk, you dare to say that I am the gatekeeper."

Yin En pretended to be angry and pounced, and wanted to have a philosophical wrestle ♂ with Liu Xing, but was unfortunately stopped by Ding Kun, who was sitting in the middle.

Relying on Liu Xing and Yin En's "lip-synch", the atmosphere at the scene was also hot, so Zhang Jingxu went directly to the topic: "The current situation of the natural gas tank plant is actually a bit delicate, because I sorted out the currently known information and found that there are two families of public factions in the gas tank plant - the Ichijo family and the Konoe family, these two families are the five families of the island country, that is, in addition to the royal family, the top five families of the island country; But how to say it, the situation of these five regents is similar to that of the royal family, although the status in the eyes of ordinary people is very high, but in the eyes of the secret church, the five regents are inferior to samurai families like the Shimazu family and the Mori family. ”

"The reason is very simple, although these five regents are very famous, they have always been in charge of various important official positions in the island country, so some people say that the heirs of the head of the five regent families are all ' Born Guan Bai', Guan Bai here is an official position, which can be directly understood as the prime minister we are familiar with, in short, the three princes and nine secretaries of the island country are basically monopolized by the five families, but we also know that the island country is a strange thing, although nominally the imperial court is still in charge of everything, presiding over the overall situation, but the local affairs are basically divided by various families, so the five families have always been in the capital, and many family members have never left from life to death. ”

"Therefore, the connection between the Goseshi family and the outside world is almost zero, let alone meeting with those secret churches or mythical creatures, so in the Warring States period hundreds of years ago, the Goseki family did not cooperate with some secret churches and mythical creatures like other public families or samurai families, so in terms of hard power, an Shimazu family can press the Goseki family to the ground and rub it; However, later, some secret churches still took a fancy to the prestige and status of the Five Guardians, so the Five Families also gained the support of those secret churches one after another, but on the whole, they were still inferior to other big families. ”

So, after the battle of Gongwu began, the five regents didn't even receive an invitation from the public faction, because those forces in the public faction thought that inviting the five regent family to join was tantamount to inviting five uncles who could only say and not do it, so they had a very tacit understanding to directly ignore the five regent family, and as a result, the five regent family finally joined the public faction, because the five regent family knew very well that the battle of Gongwu was a reshuffle of the big family of the island country, so if they didn't join the battle of Gongwu, Then after the battle of Gongwu is over, their five families will be swept into the dust of history along with the losers. ”

"But I don't know if it's a special arrangement of the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, there is not a single player in the Five Shooters family, so the Five Shooters who think they are superior have almost no intersection with other forces after joining the public faction, so although the Five Shooters belong to the public faction, but judging from the current situation, they are just a name; So I personally don't think that the Ichijo family and the Konoe family in the gas tank factory are not to worry, the chance of them stumbling on us is actually not high, after all, a family like this is actually the best face, they would rather die themselves than let their family be disgraced. ”

"However, now the two people directly related to the natural gas canning plant - Ichijo Zhengme and Konoe Liang are not normal people, first of all, this Yiyi Zhengme, he basically has no feelings for the Yiyi family, and he has never caused trouble for the Yiyi family before, so Liu Xing and I both think that as long as Ichijo Zhengi and I receive enough benefits from other forces, then he may bury mines for us in the natural gas canning plant; And the other Ryo Konoe is a bit hard to say, because from the information known now, Ryo Konoe had to choose to leave the Ryo Konoe family incognito after being plotted by someone, so we don't need to worry too much about Ryo Konoe will stand up and make trouble. ”

"But the most important thing is that many people now suspect that it was the Ichijo family that plotted against the Konoe family back then, and there have been many conflicts between the Konoe family and the Ichijo family over the years, so I think the reason why the current head of the Konoe family, Konoe Zhen, hired the four brothers to protect Konoe Ryo is that he is worried that Ichijo will be ruthless after knowing that the old factory director is Konoe Ryū, after all, Ichijo Masashi I will not let go of this good opportunity that may lead to a formal war between the Ichijo family and the Konoe family; However, judging from the current situation, Ichijomasa I should not know the true identity of Ryo Konoe yet, because Ichijomasa attaches almost zero importance to the natural gas tank factory. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jingxu frowned and thought for a while, and then continued: "So we have a not very kind choice now, that is, to reveal the news that the old factory director is Konoe Liang, especially to find a way to tell a positive me at the first time, if I really do it, then we don't need to take over the natural gas tank plant, because the natural gas tank plant will become a game ground between a family and the Konoe family, so there is still our position?" ”

"Well, Zhang Jingxu, this plan of yours is indeed a little unkind." Ding Kun said seriously: "Konoe Liang hid incognito in the natural gas tank factory, and he didn't do anything bad in normal times, but he was pushed out by us as a substitute for the dead, which makes us seem too villainous." ”

"Yes, how do we do it and how is it different from Cao Thief?"

Liu Xing shook his head and said: "Although it is true that we need to do whatever it takes to win, the target of this unscrupulous means is our enemy, not an innocent passerby like Ryo Konoe, so I don't agree with using the Konoe family to trigger a battle between the Ichijo family and the Konoe family; However, we can choose to rebel against Ryo Konoe after taking over the gas tank plant, after all, Ryo Konoe is our employee after that, and it is normal for us to work. ”

"Huh? It's unlikely, no matter how you say it, Konoe Ryo is also the younger brother of the current head of the Konoe family, if we want to rebel against them, it is better to rebel against a positive self, after all, I have already rebelled, just waiting for a suitable opportunity. Ding Kun couldn't help but complain.

Liu Xing smiled and said seriously: "That's true, but let's not forget why Konoe Liang is incognito." ”

"Huh?! Liu Xing, do you mean to let Konoe Ryo cooperate with us to deal with the righteous self who may cause trouble? ”

Ding Kun quickly reacted, and then said: "Yes, the reason why Konoe Liang became this ghost is probably due to the Ichijo family, so even if Konoe Liang chooses to be incognito, his hatred for the Ichijo family should not have subsided much, so if we open the skylight directly with Konoe Liang and say Liang, I believe that the Konoe family should be on our side in the name of a person; And if nothing else, Ryo Konoe should have been planning something when he learned that Ichijo Masashi had acquired the natural gas tank plant where he was located, right? ”

As soon as Ding Kun's words fell, Zhang Jingxu stood up and said: "Let's have a round of voting now, if you think Konoe Liang has the potential to become our helper, then raise your hand." ”

Zhang Jingxu raised his hand as he spoke, and Liu Xing and the others did not hesitate for long, so they raised their hands in agreement.

"Okay, since everyone unanimously approved this proposal, then I'll find an opportunity to negotiate with Konoe Ryo tomorrow, I believe he shouldn't mind cooperating with us."

Zhang Jingxu took a sip of water and continued: "Then the next topic - Stone Town, if nothing goes wrong, all the old employees of the natural gas tank factory will be sent to Stone Town, and there should be undercover agents from the public faction among them; The quarrying company behind Stone Town is a bit mysterious, and we still don't know what their position is, so I'm still a little worried that the quarrying company will cooperate with the public faction, and we may have to steal chickens and rice. ”

"Well, I don't think this quarrying company needs to be taken too seriously."

Yin En said seriously: "In fact, it is not difficult for us to see that the forces behind this quarrying company do not pay much attention to the real world, because their basic plate is in the fantasy dream realm, and their development focus is also the fantasy dream realm, which can be seen from those dream gates." ”
