Chapter Twenty-Six: To the Secret City
Knowing that there is a mysterious and powerful nobleman in the noble district, Liulichun's exploration work is very difficult, and if it is discovered, the work of the alliance of the cities will be wasted.
Doing nothing made Jin Hongwei even more irritable, he didn't know why he cared so much about Liulichun, he wanted to leave for a while to think about it, so he proposed to go to the city lord with Zheng Yifei to meet the city lord and discuss the matter of Shijing trade.
Xiao Heng didn't agree when he learned about it, whether it was Jin Hongwei or Zheng Yifei's force value, they were very weak, and if they encountered any danger, no one could help them.
Jin Hongwei glanced at Liulichun, who was smiling innocently, turned to look out the window and said: "Anyway, I have my own set of survival rules to survive in the magnetic country, you don't have to worry, instead of waiting here, it is better to take one more way to obtain the ore vein." ”
Xiao Heng knew that he couldn't change Jin Hongwei's decision, and said solemnly: "Since you think clearly, be careful." After that, he took out some patches and materials and gave them to him.
Jin Hongwei was also unceremoniously pretended, and went to Micheng with Zheng Yifei.
Liulichun was very worried about Jin Hongwei's sudden departure, Xiao Heng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since he has assumed the responsibility of managing our trade team, he has to face this danger. Don't worry, we'll go to the secret city to find them when we're busy here. ”
Xiao Heng and they all have communicators, and they can be contacted as long as they are in a city.
Liulichun nodded, but he was not completely reassured, Jin Hongwei took care of him like an older brother, and he prayed that he would be safe in the secret city.
In the next few days, Liulichun went to the aristocratic area to wander around, and by the way, he observed the nobleman from the main city.
The mysterious nobleman never seemed to go out, and the territory was heavily guarded, and he couldn't even get close, as long as he approached that territory, there would be guards to drive him away.
On this day, the aristocratic territory ushered in a spirit beast car, and several young people who looked like scholars got down from the car, and the mysterious nobles greeted each other at the door.
Liulichun stood too far away to see the appearance of the nobles clearly, and Xiao Heng could be sure that the nobles were on par with his own strength at a glance, if the nobles only had the ability to explore, he would still have an advantage in the battle.
Xiao Heng curled the corners of his lips, he was very much looking forward to fighting with the other party.
Liulichun touched his chin and said, "Brother Xiao, you said that I used my ability to go in and investigate, will he find us?" ”
Xiao Heng liked the current title very much, touched Liulichun's head, and the corners of his mouth rose, "Well, if you want to go, I won't stop you, when the time comes, it will be divided into pieces, and I won't help you collect the body." ”
Ruri-chun sighed, and it seemed that he could only hope that they would leave Philadelphia.
"Okay, don't sigh, if Fang Xu and the others can negotiate with the Philadelphia City Lord, this nobleman will be solved by me."
It's a pity that Xiao Heng's opportunity to fight with that nobleman didn't come.
Two days later, the nobles and the young men left the territory in the spirit beast car, and what made Liulichun even happier was that Fang Xu and they were also late.
Fang Xu was followed by the city lords of Wei City and Giant City, they knew the particularity of Philadelphia, if there was no joint pressure from several city lords, the city lords of Philadelphia might take into account the proximity to the three cities, and would not dare to agree to the alliance and revolt.
Liuli Chun first told Fang Xu about what they had learned recently, including the mysterious nobles and unstable materials, this material was a thorn in Zhou Chen's heart, and its existence made him very worried.
Fang Xu's recruitment and upgrading of equipment went very smoothly, and the citizens of the giant city were very active in joining the rebels, and their participation made a qualitative leap in the increase of troops.
Xiao Heng handed over all the materials collected on his body to Fang Xu, he decided to take Zhou Chen to the secret city, as for the matter of gathering and recruiting, they couldn't get involved, there were still many things waiting for them to do in the future, if the war came to the major main cities and chaos was set, there would be no chance to find someone with the ability to identify the ore veins.
Before Xiao Heng parted, he said to Fang Xu: "The alliance matter is nearing the end, if there is no major problem, wait for the three cities to send troops, the battle will start, we will see you in the main city when the boundary is time, as for the mysterious nobleman, I will solve it." ”
Fang Xu was very grateful to Xiao Heng for their support of the war, so he said, "Thank you, when all the dust settles, the north will be your strong backing." After that, he hugged Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng turned over the spirit beast and Liulichun in a dashing manner, and they went to the secret city.
Whether the rebels succeed or not depends on Fang Xu's determination and luck.
Jin Hongwei and Zheng Yifei did not go to Micheng, but went to Licheng first, and they were very concerned about the information of the mysterious package, whether it was the sender or the receiver, they could get that material to show that it was inseparable from the king of the south.
Zheng Yifei's flight speed was very fast, and he took Jin Hongwei to Licheng in one day.
Zheng Yifei quietly arrived at the transportation point, and after checking that there were no killers around, he stealthily entered the door.
The packages in the room were turned over in a mess, there were not many packages left, he didn't lock the door when he left, it was inevitable to lose it, and the rest was estimated to be unimportant.
Zheng Yifei picked up the register on the table and searched for contents similar to the package one by one, but unfortunately the contents to be checked had been erased. He tossed the register aside and cursed in a low voice, "I knew it was going to be cleared." ”
Zheng Yifei walked to his desk and pulled out an energy plate in the dark layer, which was a backup tool for information to prevent the contents of the register from being destroyed. Clicking on the energy board, he quickly found the information of the package, sender: the address near the city lord's mansion in the city, the sender he had heard, he was the city lord's assistant, which means that it may have been sent by the city lord. Look at the receipt again: the address of the city lord of the outer city, the recipient did not write.
Zheng Yifei carefully put away the record board and found Jin Hongwei in the nearby commercial street.
After Jin Hongwei knew these two pieces of information, he speculated that the relationship between the city lord here and the city lord of the outer city was not ordinary, could it be that the city lord of the outer city wanted to get the materials to rebel? It's not Jin Hongwei's conspiracy, he prefers to fight within several cities, so that they can make a profit.
Jin Hongwei and the others didn't care about thinking about it, and it would be dangerous to stay in the city for a while, so they hurried to the secret city.
In the Lord's Mansion in the Dark Lands, several body builders were arguing with researchers about the energy acquisition of new materials, the lord's index finger tapped on the table, the argument made him very irritated, he got up and walked out of the door, the guard at the door saluted him, when you see his appearance, you will feel very familiar, he is the mysterious nobleman you saw in Philadelphia.
It was already afternoon when Liulichun and Xiao Heng came to the secret city, and it was worthy of being one of the three major cities, although it was empty inside, it still couldn't hide its prosperity.
When he came to the beast house, Xiao Heng gave the boss a few stone crystals and asked him to take good care of the spirit beast. It is rare for the boss to see such a generous aristocrat, and he deliberately pulled the spirit beast to a spacious place, and also made the spirit beast rest more comfortably.
The city is full of entertainment and commercial facilities, and it is no longer as backward and lacking as those small cities.
Liulichun plans to find a better restaurant to have a good meal, since they came to Shiguo, they haven't had a good meal, they are in a hurry most of the time, he has eaten enough energy potions and sashimi, now there is no need to hurry, so let's enjoy this pleasant dinner.
Liulichun dragged Xiao Heng to a Shiguo-style restaurant, where there were already many nobles sitting there and queuing.
Ruri-chun said to herself, "This shop is so popular. ”
The nobleman sitting next to Liulichun saw that he looked very pleasing, and said enthusiastically: "This restaurant is not usually so popular, today the boss is in charge of the chef himself, and he cooks for only three days a year, you will know how delicious his dishes are when you taste them." ”
After hearing this, Liulichun raised his eyebrows to Xiao Heng next to him and said, "Look at my luck, I can feast on it today." ”
Xiao Heng put on a stinky face and said: "I am in a good mood today and don't care about you, in the past, I always asked the chef to cook at the door, and I would never come to a place like a restaurant that lost my identity, let alone queue up." After that, he snorted coldly at Liulichun.
Just when everyone was bored, there was an uproar~~ I heard the sound of a few plates breaking, followed by a violent scolding: "What I need is Blue Spirit Wine, what are you giving me?" Untouchables, you kneel down for me and lick the wine off my shoes. ”
Hearing the sound, the restaurant was in an instant uproar, although he didn't watch the excitement because of his dignity, he still couldn't control his eyes, and he looked over there.
Ruri Jun also looked at the table inside, a waiter was cleaning up broken plates on the ground, and the nobleman sitting in the seat was pointing at him and scolding.
The nobleman asked the waiter to lick his shoes clean, but the waiter didn't do it, calmly put away the plate, turned around and left.
Just as the waiter turned around, the nobleman tried to hold him, but for some reason he didn't.
The nobleman could not bear to be ignored by a pariah and was so rude to him, so he stood up and kicked him up.
The waiter turned his back to the nobleman and was kicked by the nobleman during the action, but only to the corner of the clothes.
The nobleman was even more forgiving himself for not kicking, and shouted: "Manager, I want to complain." ”
Everything in the hall was watched by the manager, and when the nobleman called the manager, he smiled just right, walked up to the nobleman and saluted: "Distinguished guest, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”
"That's the attitude of your waiters? I didn't say anything about the wrong wine, and I spilled it on my shoes, and I didn't clean it, and I need to pay compensation or dispose of him, or I won't stop today. The nobleman's face flushed with anger, and his voice rose much higher when he spoke to the manager.
The manager still said calmly: "Guest, I already know what you just said, but there is definitely no problem with the wine you ordered." ”
When the aristocrat heard this, he immediately reached out and slapped the manager like a bombardment, but when the slap was about to be slapped, he was caught by the waiter just now.
The waiter was neither humble nor arrogant: "Sir, it is me who is angry with you, the manager is innocent, you want to deal with me, then please move to the VIP room and punish after listening." With that, he stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of please.
The aristocrat looked around, and the diners who saw his joke were whispering, suppressed their anger and went to the VIP room.
