After chatting with the three of them, Chen Xing returned to the room, turned on the LCD screen on the table, connected the black watch, and called up the book menu, wanting to relax after watching for a while.

But after opening it, I couldn't concentrate at all, looking at the dense text on it, like a small tadpole swimming around. His mind was a little confused, and he couldn't sort out a clear line.

"The Luo family is the weakest of the seven families in Gray Corner City, and they don't even have a decent guard......"

Ye Yang Bailiu's words flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought that he still knew too little about the gate valve families in various places, so that he couldn't analyze them.

You must know that the gate valve family is the smallest unit that makes up the upper class of this world. They are usually two or three hundred years old, or even longer. The roots are deep and leafy, entrenched in one side. There are occasional replacements, but the process is slow. Their every move often affects the rise and fall of a region and its future.

He was a low-level mercenary in his previous life, so he naturally didn't pay attention to these, but now it's different, and he can't be ignorant anymore. So he shut it up, pulled up the map of the United Kingdom of Ambergris, and began to study it.

On the map, a large river runs from northwest to southeast, branching off into several tributaries. This river is the "Ambergris River", which originates in the Longya Mountains and flows out to the sea in the west of the Red Earth Continent.

To the north of the middle reaches of the Ambergris River, west of the Chiyan Mountains, was the Red Dragon Principality where he was now.

The Principality of the Red Dragon is considered to be in the middle and upper reaches of the United Kingdom, although it does not have much fertile land, but it has a large territory and occupies most of the northern wilderness.

The principality has four cities, namely the royal capital "Monitor Lizard City", the commercial city "Raven City", the mining city "Dashanling", and the wilderness city "Gray Horn City". Orchid Town is the fringe town under the jurisdiction of Gray Corner City.

The Luo family is one of the seven families in Gray Corner City, and in terms of quantity, there are many more families in Gray Corner City than the four families in Crow City and the three families in Dashan Ridge. In other words, the competition between the families will be much fiercer, and the resources will be relatively small.

So, in the family of Gray Corner City, what kind of position is the Luo family in?

It can be seen from Ye Yang Qingyan's attitude towards Luo Shaoqing that their status is not high. And after Ye Yang Bailiu's reminder, he remembered that he hadn't seen the accompanying elders of the Luo family that day. And Luo Shaoqing's personal strength doesn't seem to be very good. As long as you don't take into account the background of the other party, there is really nothing to fear. This is a world of the strong, and fists are everything, which is why Luo Shaoqing is not strong in the face of him.

Maybe his physical stats are not as good as the other party, but he has a trio that can suppress the other party in an instant. For example, the last time he dealt with Ye Yang Qingyan, he seized the opportunity. In combat, especially when firearms are used, victory or defeat is often a matter of seconds.

Thinking of this, he remembered that when Ye Yang Qingyan first arrived, he seemed to be closer to Roy who used the "Ice Shield Technique". Roy is the eldest young master of the Moore family in Raven City, and he is a cut above Luo Shaoqing in terms of appearance and temperament.

It turns out that this little green tea has already found a home, no wonder it is in a hurry to draw a line with the past. Since this is the case, he can also make a move and lead Luo Shaoqing's hatred to Roy, after all, he is the main master, and he is incidental.

In addition, Zhang Meng's side is eager to produce results, and he also has a good side, that is, he is willing to communicate, and he is not so strong.

After some thought, he decided to deal with it positively and not wait for things to come to him. Figure out Zhang Meng's thoughts first, and then communicate with Mo Anshan's side to minimize the loss.

The next day, he sent someone to invite Zhang Meng to the water station as a guest. As he expected, Zhang Meng did not postpone and came happily. Chen Xing also specially consulted Yeyang Bailiu, and asked the cook to make some dishes that were in line with the eating habits of the children of the family, and drank and chatted in the restaurant of the water station.

"Team Chen has run this place well." Zhang Meng said with a smile.

"It's okay." Chen Xing nodded, and then sighed, "But seriously, this place has just been built, many facilities are not complete, and the villagers have just moved over, so the sense of belonging is not very strong." The subtext of his sentence is: "I am unstable here, and the conditions for your driving are too poor, and there will be problems at any time." ”

"Hmm......" Zhang Meng nodded thoughtfully, then picked up his wine glass and said to him, "I can understand Team Chen's difficulties, but ......" He paused before saying, "I'll give you an account, the clan only gave me two hundred people and twelve mecha this time." I need five hundred laborers, and the money can be calculated at market value, but it will not be settled until the exploration is complete. ”

"Five hundred, will it be too many?" Chen Xing asked.

What is the concept of 500 people?

There are only more than 3,000 people in his entire water station, of which less than 400 are young and middle-aged, and the rest are old people, women and children. As for the two gathering places in Orchid Town, after learning the news of the arrival of the family, most of them have already run, and the rest can't run.

"It doesn't have to be all young adults...... Zhang Meng hinted.

Chen Xing couldn't understand it, which meant that the cannon fodder in charge of exploration could be women, children, or the elderly. Although he was disgusted in his heart, he didn't show it, and said without any emotion, "The salary can be settled later, but if there is an accident and there is a casualty, and the pension cannot be paid in time, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction and even riots." ”

"It's okay, I still have two hundred soldiers." Zhang Meng said disapprerovingly, "If Team Chen finds it inconvenient, Zhang can do it for him at any time." ”

His meaning was very clear, if Chen Xing was in the way of face, he could use force to force the homeless people to obey.

"Will this be ......" Chen Xing hesitated, but still said, "It's too inhumane." ”

"Really?" Zhang Meng slowly put down his wine glass, looked at Chen Xing, and said seriously, "Team Chen, I must remind you that displaced people have no human rights. ”

"Strictly speaking, they are just indigenous people in the marginal areas, not those 'discredited'." Chen Xing said.

"Is there a difference?" Zhang Meng's tone became meaningful, "I think that a group of rats in the wasteland should not be an obstacle between us. As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass again and drank it all, "This matter is done, you are my brother Zhang Meng." In the future, if I become the head of the family, I will naturally have your benefits. ”

Chen Xing didn't speak, just lowered his head and pondered, Zhang Meng then said, "Don't dare to say anything else, it's not difficult to arrange a major of the defenders of Gray Corner City." ”

"Haha......" At this time, Chen Xing raised his head and smiled.

Zhang Meng thought he agreed, and also smiled, but the next second, the smile froze on his face.

"Zhang Shao, what do you think ......" Chen Xing picked up his wine glass and asked, "How is my strength?" ”

"This ......," Zhang Meng hesitated. He finally remembered that Chen Xing blasted Yang Zhiyong away with one punch, and took over the Yang family's peerless fire dragon wave with his bare hands, and his strength was unpredictable. Not to mention the elite level, even the town guard level is possible.

has such strength, but succumbs to a marginal town as a team leader, which is originally a mystery. The two girls of the Baishi family are still wooing each other, how can they be tempted by this benefit.

But before he could clear his mind, the other party threw a second bombshell.

"Also, what do you think ......" Chen Xing said with a smile, "How is the strength of my subordinates?" ”

"Ah......" Zhang Meng couldn't help but be startled, and his pupils gradually dilated. He remembered again that one of Chen Xing's subordinates that day, a man wearing a steel armor, also punched Yang Zhiyong away.

Yang Er Shao is also the most outstanding junior of the Yang family, his strength far exceeds the elite level, and he is close to the quasi-town guard level, and he has suffered losses repeatedly. The second lieutenant in front of him became more and more mysterious.

"Brother Chen......" Zhang Meng subconsciously changed his name and asked with a bit of humility, "Zhang Meng doesn't understand a little, with the strength of his brother, why do he succumb to here?" ”

Chen Xing showed a mysterious smile and did not rush to answer. After a while, until Zhang Meng became a little anxious, he pretended to be deep and said, "I'm not a local...... he deliberately lengthened his voice, "To be precise, I'm not from this continent." ”

"Then ...... you," Zhang Meng wondered.

"I am from the Eastern Continent, and the clan asked me to come over to experience and learn the customs of your Red Continent." When Chen Xing was checking the information just now, he found that although there is no family surnamed Chen in the Red Soil Continent, there is one in the Eastern Continent!

Anyway, the mountains are long and the road is long, and no one knows if they pretend to be the ocean.

"My God......" Zhang Meng suddenly realized, and then clenched his fists and said, "It turned out to be Chen Gongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

"No, no, no......" Chen Xing hurriedly excused himself, "I also told you about it as your brother, this matter ......" He lowered his head and leaned over slowly.

Seeing this, Zhang Meng hurriedly leaned over and looked like he was listening carefully.

Chen Xing glanced left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk about it everywhere, the clan makes me keep a low profile, after all, it's ......" Speaking of this, he stopped, with a tacit meaning.

"I understand, I understand......" Zhang Meng nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking rice.
