After inspecting the circle, Lu Cheng was extremely satisfied with the development of the territory.

"Next, we have to go to Sanglai."

Lu Cheng asked people to call Minglian over.

"Your Excellency, are you ready to go?" Minglian asked impatiently when she saw Lu Cheng.

"Well, the affairs of the territory have been arranged, and the first batch of supplies to support Sanglai has been loaded onto the ship, so we can go."

Lu Cheng affirmed Minglian's guess.

"Great, let's go now."

A day later.

"My lord, look at the bay in front, there is a level 3 village in Sanglai in the bay, you see that there are several batteries at the entrance of the bay, the defense is still relatively tight, and there are surviving Sanglai national fleets in the bay, so it is safer to unload here." Minglian explained excitedly.

Lu Cheng nodded and didn't speak, carefully observing the nearby terrain.

The bay here is in the shape of a bowl with a southern opening, and the entrance is only about 1 kilometer wide, and there are forts on the east and west sides of the bay, and the third-class village mentioned by Ming Lian is on the west side of the bay, and there are more batteries here than on the east side, and there are dozens of ships coming and going in the bay, and there are 5 small and medium-sized warships moored on a large pier, and from a distance, the hull is scarred, and even the main mast of one of the battleships has collapsed.

It didn't take long for the guards of the battery to spot 5 small transport ships coming over the sea.

"My lord, that's the small boat of the defenders of the fort, they came to confirm their identity, there were spies from the Condi Kingdom who tried to sneak in before, and after being discovered by our defenders, they eliminated several groups, and recently they have stopped a lot, but the defenders will still strictly inspect all the ships." Minglian explained.

"Are there any merchants who will come to you to do business with you?" The journey is strange.

Minglian's face darkened: "It's not some profiteers who take advantage of the fire to rob, they sell high and buy low when we are in danger, usually they will sell 1 silver group of bread for 20 silver, and we can't refuse, and the market price of 5 gold group of Nanmu, they only buy it at the price of 2 gold group." ”

"What a profiteer!" Lu Cheng said unhappily, and at the same time he was depressed in his heart, he thought that the selling price 10% higher than the market price was very high, but as a result, this ** businessman raised the price by 20 times, and there was no harm if there was no comparison!

A moment later, the defenders' small boat docked at Lu Cheng's shipside, and the five defenders of Sang Lai Kingdom easily climbed onto the not very high side of the ship.

"Hello, I am the guard of the Duchy of Sanglai, where are you from, what kind of cargo is on board, have you been to the country of Condi?"

The defender at the head asked calmly.

"Don't be unreasonable to the arbiter, he is the honored guest of our Sang Lai country, and he is here to support us, and the cargo on the ship is the material we urgently need." Minglian looked at Lu Cheng apologetically and said to the defenders.

"Who are you?" The defender asked hesitantly with a sense of familiarity after seeing Minglian.

"I am Ming Lian, the daughter of Ming Xiu, the current acting governor of the principality, and the captain of the First Guard."

"I've seen Lord Minglian, but I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, and I ask Lord Arbiter and Lord Minglian to punish him."

"It's your job, lead the way." Lu Cheng said lightly.

I didn't expect Minglian to be the daughter of the current governor of Sang Lai Country, it seems that this cooperation has been relatively high-end from the beginning, and it is no wonder that Ming Lian will say that she can represent Sang Lai Country with full powers.

Led by the defenders' dinghys, five transport ships rushed in and docked at the vacant VIP pier.

Lu Cheng observed, and there was a circle of gravel walls outside the level 3 village in front of him, and two gates were opened on the wall facing the side of the pier. The scale of the wharf is not small, there are a total of 5 mooring trestles, the northernmost column of trestles moored 5 warships, and the other 4 columns of 3 columns of trestles are full of all kinds of transport ships, the large ships are more than 40 meters long, and the small ships are about the same size as Lu Cheng's transport ships.

While other transport ships were queuing up to unload, Lu Cheng's five small transport ships were moored at the VIP pier under the guidance of the defenders was very eye-catching.

"Captain Willy, just now the defenders of the Mulberry Kingdom docked at the VIP dock with a fleet of small transport ships."

On the transport ship, which was more than 40 meters long, a young sailor said to a bald old man who was sitting behind a desk in the captain's room and writing a letter.

"Huh? What do you see? Captain Willie raised his eyelids and looked at the young sailor, the quill in his hand continuing to write something.

"There are a total of 5 small transport ships, looking at the draft should be fully loaded with goods, it is not clear what is loaded on board, I will ask people to go to the dock to investigate." The young sailor replied respectfully.

"Well, you go and arrange, send some people with flexible brains, the ones who can anchor at the VIP pier must be the distinguished guests of Sanglai, let those people under your command be careful, don't trouble me to go to the prison to catch people if something happens, I Willy doesn't need stupid subordinates." Captain Willy said as he stuffed the letter into the envelope and stamped it with his wax seal.

"You personally deliver this letter to the old place tonight, and be careful not to be discovered by the Sanglai defenders." Captain Willy handed the sealed letter to the young sailor.

"I'll take care of it, don't worry, Captain." The young sailor respectfully accepted the letter and solemnly tucked it into his close-fitting place.

After watching the young sailor leave, Captain Willy took a bottle of red wine and poured himself a glass.

"Looks like we're going to have to talk to those old immortals." Willy drank the red wine in one gulp, thought about it and filled himself with a drink.

Because Chiyan, Leah, Jona and others all had important things to do, Lu Cheng only brought Mike and 20 militiamen this time, these 20 militiamen were the most elite militiamen who had advanced to trainee warriors, and they were also equipped with the most luxurious full dwarf suits in the territory, which really compared to the guards greeted by Sang Lai Kingdom.

"Hello Lord Minglian, hello Lord Arbiter, I'm the person in charge here, Bogner, and welcome to you." After receiving the news, Bogner, the manager of the Level 3 village, personally rushed to the city gate to greet Lu Cheng and his party.

"Hello Mr. Bogner, I have brought some of the goods you urgently need this time, and I need to trouble you to arrange the unloading." Lu Cheng also said politely.

"Yes, you're welcome, let's go to the village council hall first, what do you think?" Bogner suggested.

Lu Cheng was not polite, and followed Bogner through a busy street to the village council hall.

Lu Cheng is the first time to visit the NPC city in the non-war period, and the player's territory is different, the NPC territory is more casual in planning, and the houses in many places are built like a maze, and the players will plan in advance, so the player's territory is neat and tidy tofu blocks, and not like here, walking on the street will encounter dead ends, and various buildings of different styles are built irregularly along the road.

"Has there been any new action on Condy's side lately?" After taking her seat in the council room, Minglian asked first.

"Back to my lord, there have been no new moves at sea in Kandi this week. But on land, the 4 brigades of the Kandi Army, which had encroached on our northern territory, attacked the village of Lorraine, and after the heroic battles of our troops, the troops of the Kandi State did not take any advantage. Bogner gave a brief overview of the situation.

"What is the state of armaments in the villages?" Minglian asked.

Bogner sighed lightly: "Not ideal, because the weapons trade channel has been cut off, our inventory of equipment can only barely supply the front line, although thousands of troops have been conscripted recently, but many villages are in a state of no sword, and weapons can be shared in peacetime training, once a war occurs, it will be unimaginable." ”

"The merchants of the port are reluctant to sell weapons?" Lu Cheng wondered.

Minglian explained: "Although this group of merchants saw the money, but they did not dare to offend the Kandi country to death, they did not bring in a single weapon after the start of the war, although we were willing to buy it at five times or even ten times the price, but they were still unmoved, to put it bluntly, they felt that the Sanglai country would be defeated, so they were only here to make money for the Sanglai country, not to help us." ”

Lu Cheng nodded to show his understanding, and at the same time said that he was heartbroken, Sister Minglian, please be sure to consider my easily injured young mind when you say this, if you are willing to buy weapons at 5 times or even 10 times the price, even if I strip all the elite militia of Chiyan, I will sell you the equipment, what does the friendship price you and I mean by 10% higher than the market price, is it really the rhythm of the closer you get to the death!

"So, my lord, the weapons and equipment you brought this time will be of great help, and the defense of several villages will be greatly strengthened." Minglian expressed her gratitude again.

"What!" Bogner stood up in surprise and looked at Lu Cheng with a strange look in his eyes, "Lord Minglian, you didn't lie to me, did Lord Arbiter really have weapons in this batch of goods?" ”

"Of course, I watched the weapons be loaded onto the ship." Minglian said.

"That's great, I'm going to arrange for someone to transport this batch of weapons to Sanglai City!" Bogner said excitedly.

"Well, then you go and arrange it first, pay attention to confidentiality and security, there are a lot of spies in Condi recently." Minglian reminded.

"Don't worry, we'll send it over carefully." Bogner said confidently.

Watching Bogner leave the chamber, Lu Cheng turned to Minglian and asked, "Do you know the situation with this Bogner?" ”

"You know, he is a capable subordinate who has followed my father for many years, because the former head was assassinated by Condy's assassins, and Bogner recommended himself to be the head of this place, is there any problem?" Minglian didn't understand why Lu Cheng suddenly asked about Bogner's situation.

"It's nothing, it's just asking." Lu Cheng casually said a few words and dealt with the past.

Maybe it's too much, just now Minglian said that after Lu Cheng brought a large number of weapons, Lu Cheng felt that the first expression in Bogner's eyes was not excitement, happiness or other positive emotions, but more like uneasiness or hostility, if this is the case, this situation is interesting.

"Mike, after the ships have unloaded their cargo, you fill all the ships with Nanmu, and then you bring the fleet back to the territory early tomorrow morning."

After avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, Lu Cheng commanded.

"My lord, aren't you going back?" Mike asked, confused.

"I'm going to verify something."

Lu Cheng looked at the dim sky, this campaign mission is really not simple.
