Chapter 106: Co-optation
"Damn! So refreshing? It's hard to get into Lao Tzu's trick! Lie' Meng's refreshing answer made Liu Ye feel strange, and he muttered in his heart.
Nan Tiancheng and Bin Lang below shook their heads secretly, they didn't expect Liu Ye to make such a request. Liu Ye asked Lie 'Meng' to join the capital city alone, and the meaning of joining the capital city as a whole with the Wind Thieves Group is completely different.
Truth be told, no thief is born with a life of running around all day long, living in no fixed place.
Many thieves are 'forced' by survival to do this bloody business, you must know that all kinds of mutated creatures emerge in an endless stream on the wasteland, and if you are not careful, you will be captured and devoured by mutated creatures.
In fact, every thief wants to enter a city and be sheltered. However, there are too few such cities.
After all, thieves survive by raiding and plundering, and none of the surrounding cities are visited by them. For these thieves who made things worse for them, every city lord gritted his teeth.
If it weren't for the environment of the wasteland and their ability to maneuver without a trace, the major city lords would have united to encircle and suppress them a long time ago.
They also thought about building a city themselves, but once they had a city. No matter how hidden the location of that city is, it will eventually be found by those who have a heart, and what will face them at that time is a catastrophe.
So these thieves are fierce on the surface, but in fact they are some wasteland wanderers who don't even have a home.
As human beings, they need a home, a home that can really shelter from the wind and rain and drive away the cold and heat, not those roadside forests and hidden mountain 'caves'.
Every thief is tired of living like this, and what they need is stability, a kind of stability that no longer needs to run around.
And the request made by Liu Ye is exactly what they are most looking forward to in their hearts, if they had known that Liu Ye had this mind, they would have agreed even if they didn't want a beast 'hair' blanket.
If Liu Ye is saying that Lie 'Meng' will join alone, the meaning is completely different. The result of this is likely that one of the Lie 'Meng' will survive, and all the other thieves will die, and every Wind Thief will not agree to this.
Life in the wasteland is very difficult, and there is no possibility of surviving in the wasteland when you are a lone thief, and you can only rely on the strength of the group.
Outside pressure had brought the Storm Thieves closer together, making it impossible for them to leave any of their companions alone, and Liemeng was no exception.
Liu Ye, who didn't know that he had done a loss-making business, had to fight with Lie 'Meng' and 'engaged' strangely.
Although this deal was beneficial to Lie' Meng's side and did no harm, Lie Meng' still had enough 'spirit' and tried his best to fight Liu Ye.
It's just that the strength of the two sides is not on the same order of magnitude, at least two grades apart, and Lie Meng's all-out attack is like a 'spring' wind blowing in front of Liu Ye, and it can't hurt his body in the slightest.
Lie 'Meng' couldn't attack for a long time, and the desire to win gradually rose, and he was also 'provoked' by Liu Ye's indifferent mentality.
He roared, his body shrunk into a ball again, and his whole body was shrouded in cyan 'color' air and rushed towards Liu Ye.
"That's kind of interesting!" In the face of Lie Meng's all-out attack, Liu Ye's eyes lit up.
Lie 'Meng' concentrated his power in one place, and his power had already surpassed the simulacrum level, and 'forced' close to the mimic god envoy level. Especially the momentum, Liu Ye couldn't help but be moved.
However, in order to defeat the other party, Liu Ye did not dodge, but stretched out one hand to cover the rushing Lie Meng.
After the loud bang, Liu Ye's hair flew back, and for the first time, a red and white light appeared on his hand, and his body retreated slightly by half an inch.
However, Liu Ye only retreated half an inch, and he unloaded all the strength of Lie Meng.
Liu Ye's five fingers were slightly closed, and then he suddenly let go, and Lie Meng' seemed to be fanned by a banana fan, and he was shocked hundreds of meters away in an instant.
The people around sizzled to breathe, but they didn't expect Liu Ye's strength to be so strong. Especially the Wind Thieves, they have both joys and sorrows. I am happy that Lie 'Meng' is still defeated, and I am worried about Lie 'Meng''s injury and whether Liu Ye will keep his promise.
It's strange that the losing side is worried that the winning side won't do what they bet, but things are reversed.
The place where Lie 'Meng' fell suddenly 'stirred' up the dust, and after a figure flickered, Lie 'Meng' appeared in front of Liu Ye.
"The subordinate Lie 'Meng' led the Wind Thieves to join the capital, and the city lord forgot to accept it!" Lie 'Meng' knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.
"Good! On behalf of the metropolis, I welcome you to join us! Ignoring the continuous eye 'color' signals of Nan Tiancheng and Bin Lang around him, Liu Ye stepped forward to help Lie Meng.
Hearing Liu Ye's personal promise, the Wind Thief suddenly let out an earth-shattering cheer, which startled Liu Ye instead.
********
"Damn! So, the battle I just fought was in vain! In fact, as long as you say it, the other party will automatically join? Being pulled aside, Liu Ye, who listened to the words of Nan Tiancheng and Binlang, said depressedly.
"Yes, that's it!" Bin Lang and Nan Tiancheng's heads nodded like little 'chickens' pecking rice.
"Liu Ye, you have to think about the consequences of accepting the Wind Thieves!" Nan Tiancheng had a serious expression.
"Consequences! Don't worry, I'll train them well, and those old thieves will be wiped out! Liu Ye's face was full of excitement, and his eyes lit up.
Militarized training is a melting pot, no matter what cheap 'faults' you had in the past, you have to melt away all the dregs if you throw them in, leaving only the 'essence' essence.
However, Nan Tiancheng's serious expression did not relax because of Liu Ye's guarantee, and he said in a deep voice: "Although that is also a problem, it is not the main thing!" You have to figure it out, they're a band of Swift Thieves! One of the three thieves of the wasteland! ”
"What's wrong with that? It is because they are the three major thieves and their strength is extraordinary, that I will take them in! Liu Ye was still puzzled.
Nan Tiancheng sighed secretly and said: "Their Wind Thieves can be said to have a lot of grievances, because they couldn't find them before, so many city lords just need to give up!" If they know that the Wind Thieves have surrendered to your capital, then sooner or later they will come to you for someone! At that time, there was a lot of trouble! “
"Someone? If you don't give it, won't it be over? Liu Ye didn't care.
"Don't give? It just gave them an excuse to unite against the capital, and when the time comes, we will really fight the entire wasteland with the power of one city! Nan Tiancheng said anxiously, Liu Ye in front of him didn't look anxious at all, Nan Tiancheng felt more and more that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry.
"Oh, deal with us!" Liu Ye said softly, silent, Nan Tiancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his own big city lord finally understood the seriousness of the matter.
"Then let's deal with it, I'm going to look for them too!" Liu Ye still looked indifferent, but he made Nan Tiancheng next to him half angry.
"I don't care! Anyway, the capital is yours, I'm just giving my opinion! Nan Tiancheng walked away angrily.
It's just that he was thinking about Liu Ye's words in his heart: "I have long wanted to deal with it?" Could it be that he had this in mind before? ”
And the Wind Thieves who secretly heard the conversation between the two next to them were even more 'excited' about Liu Ye, and they quietly told Lie 'Meng' the content of their words.
"It seems that I have really found a good home for the brothers......" Secretly looking at Liu Ye's back, Lie Meng' said in his heart.
Of course, they didn't know that all of their actions were obtained by Menglong and fell into Liu Ye's heart.
*********
Three days later, Bei Nanfu and Xi Liuyan fought anxiously above the walls of the capital, looking into the distance.
Liu Ye has been there for at least ten days, but he hasn't come back yet. As has always been the case, the wasteland assembly can return in about a week, and I don't know why it was so slow this time.
The two of them didn't dare to think much in their hearts, for fear that they really guessed something bad.
However, a strange premonition in my heart was getting stronger and stronger, but according to the report of the spies, the city of Haiwei in the west had already returned three days ago.
They have already made up their minds that if Liu Ye has not come back today. The two of them took people to Hohhot in person to find out.
While the two were anxiously waiting, suddenly the spies in front of them reported:
"A large number of men and horses are attacking the capital! Suspected of a gang of thieves! ”
"Keep probing and 'figure out' who it is!" Bei Nanfu immediately ordered, he and Xi Liuyan glanced at each other, 'revealed' an uneasy expression.
About ten minutes later, the spies reported again:
"There are about four or five hundred people on the other side, it seems that they belong to the Wind Thieves Group!"
"Bandits of the Wind?"
Bei Nanfu and Xi Liuyan were surprised in their hearts, and immediately ordered everyone in the capital to be on strict guard and prepare to meet the enemy.
Another half hour later, smoke and dust billowed ahead, and a large motorcade drove from a distance. In the dust, several white 'colored' skull flags surrounding the cyan 'color' whirlwind were faintly visible.
"What a band of the Wind Thieves! When did they get so numerous!? But that's not where they live! The two of them were amazed and troubled at the same time.
The Wind Thieves have been famous in the wasteland for more than ten years. Even if they hadn't violated the capital, the two had already heard of it. Seeing such a big momentum now, although they don't know why the Wind Thieves have come back to attack the capital, they all know that this will be an unprecedented tough battle.
