Rong Zheng's face was full of sincere smiles, and he shook hands with Xiang Ningxuan and said, "Ning Xuan, it's great that you can come back safely." I am afraid that you are in danger, so I have come to your aid. ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid I'm not here to help! If the boss fails to resist the Heavenly Demon King and is corrupted by the Heavens, you should do it directly! Shen Tao, who was standing beside Xiang Ningxuan, said in a low voice.

Xiang Ningxuan patted Shen Tao, don't say it, everyone is a friendly army after all. Since the sublimation of his soul, Xiang Ningxuan found that he had seen the problem more clearly. Shen Tao could see the true purpose of Rong Zheng and his party, and he could see more far-reaching.

Will Rong Zheng take the initiative to bring someone over when he is full? No way! He had clearly come on orders. So, who could give such an irresistible order to Rong Zheng? Can't say.

Although Xiang Ningxuan and Rong Zheng both behaved very obediently and took care of the overall situation, how could such two powerful quasi-warlord organizations be completely relieved. It is not enough to send troops to destroy it, and it is logical to seize the opportunity to stir up a relationship.

If Xiang Ningxuan failed to challenge the Heavenly Demon King, he would definitely not be able to let it go. Xiang Ningxuan himself said that if he failed, please kill him.

But the people of the Long Xiang Army are deeply bound to him, and I am afraid that they will not be able to do it at the critical moment. The central master is far away in the north, and only Rong Zheng can do it. Just like Xiang Ningxuan had to deal with the Heavenly Demon King, unless Rong Zheng really wanted to be a warlord, he couldn't refuse the order at all.

And even if Xiang Ningxuan was really corrupted by the seizure, no matter who killed him, he would have a grudge with the people of the Long Xiang Army. It's a totally thankless task. Rong Zheng will take the initiative to run over when he is stupid. From the moment he found out that the situation in the Three Pagoda Temple was not good, he took the initiative to stand up, and he knew that he didn't want to complete this task at all.

Thinking about this, Xiang Ningxuan has no complaints about Rong Zheng, everyone is just doing business. Besides, he was not corrupted, so Rong Zheng's mission was naturally nullified. He turned around and said confidently: "What can I do with such a little person?" ”

"Uh......" Shen Tao was speechless, thinking about the strength that Xiang Ningxuan had just shown, Rong Zheng and the others really couldn't do anything about him, and his heart was suddenly relieved.

The two groups shook hands and talked and laughed, which was completely like the feeling of old friends meeting.

Cleaning the battlefield is such a dirty work, and the people below are naturally responsible. Xiang Ningxuan and the others came to the restaurant in the market town outside to eat and rest. In the apocalyptic environment, the one who can fight is the uncle, and giving priority to eating and resting is not a privilege at all.

After eating and drinking, Rong Zheng and Xiang Ningxuan each sent their subordinates and stayed to talk alone.

Rong Zheng carefully set up the soundproof barrier, and checked to confirm that there was no monitoring equipment.

Seeing that he was so serious, he didn't know what important things to talk about, so he suddenly paid attention.

However, Rong Zheng, who was originally in high spirits to discuss national affairs, suddenly became frightened, and held back for a long time before he hummed and didn't know what to say.

Xiang Ningxuan couldn't help it, and said righteously: "You won't be looking for me alone because you want to make a foundation, right?" I'm telling you, I don't have that hobby! ”

"Get out! Lao Tzu doesn't have that hobby. Rong Zheng finally became a little more normal and asked, "That, that Miss Feng is also your confidante today, right?" ”

"It's not! Nothing! Don't talk nonsense! Xiang Ningxuan denied the triple.

"Hehe, she has been looking at you affectionately during the meal, and I am not blind."

"It's not just no." Xiang Ningxuan's head was extremely big, and he asked rhetorically, "You saw me just to say this?" ”

"It's not." Rong Zheng said embarrassedly, "I just want to ask how you managed to deal with such women?" ”

"Huh? Why do you ask this? Although Xiang Ningxuan is not a gossip person, the fire of gossip cannot help but burn at this moment.

Rong Zheng sighed: "Hey, Mingxiu and Yingying are good alone, but as soon as the two meet, the atmosphere changes, just like a war will break out at any time." It's okay if I don't persuade me, and if I persuade them, the two of them will target me together. You say, what should I do? ”

Ahahahaha! Ji Mingxiu is Rong Zheng's big butler, and Bai Yingqiong's position on Xiang Ningxuan's side is about the same. And Tu Shanying is the nine-tailed fox of Qingqiu Kingdom, but she is not a demon girl like Su Jingling who brings disaster to the country and the people, but an excellent virtuous helper. Both of them are talented and beautiful, no wonder Rong Zheng has no choice.

Xiang Ningxuan couldn't wait to laugh in his heart, but asked with a serious face: "The main thing is to see which one you prefer?" ”

"Both of them are pretty good, and I don't know which one I prefer."

"Hey! Then take it all! Xiang Ningxuan held back a smile.

"That's a mistake." Rong Zheng is tangled and authentic.

"Well, think about it. Ji Mingxiu and Tu Shanying have taken a fancy to you, do you want to make one of them sad, or even both of them sad, or do you make some mistakes yourself, so that neither of them is sad? ”

Xiang Ningxuan carefully observed Rong Zheng's expression, which was different from his usual steady, and his emotions were all written on his face at this moment—heart-pounding and tangled.

"But I can't do it!" Rong Zheng was embarrassed.

"Kukukuku." Xiang Ningxuan held back his laughter and was so uncomfortable.

When Rong Zheng said this, he obviously accepted Xiang Ningxuan's statement and planned to eat it all. I didn't expect that this guy looks like a dog, and he is actually so good!

How could Xiang Ningxuan not help him?

"Hey, it's not easy? Women! You put both of them to sleep, and then there's a showdown - either live a good life or quit on your own. They must be obedient. ”

"This ...... Is that okay? Rong Zheng asked uncertainly.

"Don't worry. In my experience, absolutely no problem! If you believe me! Just do as I say. If you don't believe me, I'll be treated as if I didn't say anything. Xiang Ningxuan patted his chest and guaranteed the ticket, but in fact, he was not at all sure. However, anyway, it was Rong Zheng's private matter, and if he failed, he didn't lose a single hair.

"Then I'll try ......," Rong Zheng said, "By the way, you must not tell me about this!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm keeping my mouth shut! I'm not going out to talk about it. "—I don't go out to say, I go home and say.

"Okay, okay, don't think about the wind and snow, let's talk about some business." Rong Zheng hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "What are your plans recently?" ”

I'll let me go, it's you who talk to me about the wind and snow!

However, since he was talking about business, Xiang Ningxuan had nothing to hide, and said: "I went to Tianzhu once, and the situation over there is not very good, and the undead natural disaster is holding back the big move." Tianzhu does not have enough external pressure, and the progress of internal integration is slow. I'm afraid that once the Scourge Legion is launched, Tianzhu will not be able to withstand it. Although I don't like Tianzhu, I don't want my neighbors to be undead. Therefore, I hope to open the line of communication to the west as soon as possible. The southern line of traffic Tianzhu so that assistance can be provided at any time. The middle line connects to the roof of the world, and our army can reach the frozen throne at any time. The northern route into Central Asia to prevent natural disasters from going north can also expand our influence. ”

Rong Zheng smiled, did not answer immediately, but took a sip of tea, and said: "Such a huge plan is not something that the two of us can do, even if the state fully supports it, it will take at least two or three years." Why don't we pick a small goal that we can tackle first? ”

As he spoke, Rong Zheng dipped his tea and drew a map of the improvised republic on the table, pointed to the island in the southeast corner, and said, "As long as we are fully prepared and have enough transportation capacity to cross the sea, there should not be much problem in terms of combat." ”

Xiang Ningxuan raised his eyebrows, quite moved. It is true that the goal is not large, and the difficulty is not high, but the political interests are abundant, and if it succeeds, it will surely go down in history, and as long as you do not make mistakes of principle in the future, you can sit back and relax.

Of course, there are no fewer problems. Xiang Ningxuan said: "I'm afraid that this must first obtain the consent of the above. Now that we have not solved our internal problems, we should not be in a hurry to deal with the external affairs in terms of overall strategy. ”

Rong Zheng had already prepared and said: "Of course, but the siege is the bottom, and the attack is the top." We may not really have many troops, but we must be strong enough to intimidate. On the other hand, it is also necessary to prepare enough benefits to buy people's hearts. The two-pronged approach, with both grace and power, can be a soldier who surrenders without a fight.

"The first step is to get in touch and let the other side see how strong we are and see our lives gradually improving. At the same time, send some reliable people over, give a certain amount of support, train a few agents, let them see with their own eyes, follow us to eat meat, gradually change the inherent concept, and by the way collect detailed information on the other side. ”

"The second step is to prepare for force. There must be die-hards who toast and don't eat and drink. We must have the absolute superiority of force to extinguish all separatists and be able to send them over as quickly as possible. ”

"The third step is to appease and give a candy stick. We have to make a significant difference in the standard of living when we take over. This requires the preparation of a large number of daily necessities. ”

Xiang Ningxuan calculated and said: "There are about three million people left on the other side, but there are two or three hundred thousand soldiers in battle, even if the combat effectiveness is not as strong as ours, we must at least have the capacity to deliver 200,000 people to be enough deterrent." It's about reassuring people and improving the living standards of three million people. The cost of this investment is not small! ”

Rong Zheng said: "Nonsense, if I can eat it alone, why do I have to bring you?" ”

Xiang Ningxuan asked again, "When will it start?" ”

"The first step is to go back and start preparing. The second step is as short as one or two years, or as long as three or four years, to see if there is a suitable opportunity. Rong Zheng said, "Just say it, do you want to do this vote?" ”

There was nothing to say, Xiang Ningxuan slapped the table and said, "It's done!" How to divide it? ”

"The cost is six for me and you four, and I will lead the military affairs, so I can't ask you for help. Compete fairly in the economy, and take more and take less according to their ability. How is it? ”

On the surface, Rong Zheng contributed a lot of money and efforts, and in the end, the economic interests were still fair competition, and it seemed that he was at a loss. But Xiang Ningxuan was not a fool, and retorted: "Fart! Militarily you dominate, will it be fair economically? Your knife has been driven to someone else's neck, and my knife has not yet been unsheathed, so how can it be fair for someone else to choose? First investigate the information, both military and costly, according to the population of the large settlement. ”

Rong Zheng said: "Okay! But I've got to get seventy percent! ”

Xiang Ningxuan thought about it, his development focus is not in the southeast, a little less is a little less. "Okay. When I go back, I will ask Chu Xiongtian to discuss with your staff and prepare a detailed plan. ”

Rong Zheng reminded: "Don't forget to fight with the above, and win the task first." Don't let us prepare, and someone picks peaches. ”

"Who dare?" Xiang Ningxuan rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll go to Beijing in a few days to apply." ”

"Okay, then it's settled."

The two of them hit the hands and decided to settle the matter.
