"We've almost cleaned up the robbers' base in the sinkhole, and it's a lot of good things, and the robbers have saved a lot of money over the years." Shangguanqi said while sipping wine.

Shangguanqi has been leading people to clean up the bandits' base these days, and finally had time to go back to Yaqiu City, so he called Liu Yi and Ke Rin and informed them of the results of the cleanup.

When Ke Rin heard that a lot of loot had been captured, he couldn't wait to say, "Tell me quickly, what are the specific good things?" ”

"It's not too late to talk about this later, let's talk about what to do with these loot first......" Liu Yi took over and said.

Ke Rin played with a childlike temper, and said dissatisfiedly: "Tell me what you're afraid of, I like to hear this, Shangguan, tell me quickly." ”

Liu Yi knew Ke Rin's temper, so he could only smile wryly and shake his head, no longer interrupting his curiosity.

Shangguan Qi saw that Liu Yi no longer objected, put down the wine glass, and said: "The main loot is, of course, all kinds of materials, probably from smuggling channels, these things are in large quantities, it seems that smuggling transactions are the main source of income for robbers. ”

Ke Rin is not very interested in these, and Ke Rin has not been less involved in smuggling or something, which is not very attractive to him.

"Don't just talk about that, but mainly talk about captured weapons, mechs, and various vehicles." Kirin said.

"What are you anxious about! I'll say the same. Shangguan Qi said angrily: "Of course, there are many weapons seized, no less than five or six thousand ordinary laser guns, as well as hundreds of boxes of grenades and bombs...... It will be enough to form a new army of Aqiu. ”

"There are so many, these robbers are probably smuggling arms too, right?" Liu Yi was also a little surprised.

"I should have found that some of the guns were brand new, and they also had numbers from the army, indicating that they were from the regular army." Shangguanqi said.

"These people are really bold enough, they even dare to get out the weapons in the army and smuggle them, no wonder there is chaos all over the empire now." Liu Yi said a little angrily.

Ke Rin didn't care, and said in a nonchalant tone: "What is this, even mecha dare to sell, is it still a matter to sell this ordinary weapon?" ”

Liu Yi knew that what Ke Rin said was the truth, so he could only say helplessly: "Alas, it seems that the empire is really in the middle of the day. ”

"You actually said this, be careful that people will listen to you." Kirin quipped.

"Okay, don't talk about this, Shangguan, you continue." Liu Yi didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, so he diverted the topic.

"The others are mecha and vehicles, there are quite a few vehicles, but most of them have been buried, and many of the remaining ones have been broken, and there are probably only a few dozen that can be used."

"It's a shame that Yaqiu City is short of all kinds of transportation vehicles right now." Liu Yi said regretfully.

"What about mechs? How many are left? Won't they all be buried? "Ke Rin's main concern is how many mechs he can capture.

"There are about twenty or thirty mechs left, and about half of them are still usable, and the rest are either buried or destroyed." Kamikanzaki replied.

Ke Rin slapped his thigh and said with great regret: "It's a pity! I'm counting on more mechs. ”

"In fact, most of the robbers' mecha were wiped out by us in the mountains when they fled, in fact, counting the mecha captured last time, plus the ones in the base, there are almost seventy or eighty units."

"Compared to before, we now have almost a hundred mechas, and as a militia organization, it is very good to have so many mechas." Liu Yi said.

"It's still too little, if we have a decent mecha force, why have we been tossed by bandits for so many years." Ke Rin said unwillingly.

Liu Yi disagreed with this opinion and retorted: "You are wrong, there were actually not many mecha of the Yaqiu garrison force in the past, but Ding Kai did not do anything, and there was nothing to do about the robbers with these mechas." ”

After listening to Liu Yi's words, Ke Rin had to admit that Liu Yi was reasonable, so he didn't say anything anymore.

Then Shangguanqi told the other situation again, in general, there were actually a lot of loot seized this time, but it was more messy, and it took a lot of time to sort it out.

Shangguan Qi asked Liu Yi what to do with these loot and whether he wanted to hand it over to the temporary committee, but Liu Yi shook his head and said, "You don't need to hand it over to the committee, just leave it to the militia, and find an opportunity to sell it slowly in the future." ”

Liu Yi's words surprised Shangguan Qi and Ke Rin, as if they didn't know Liu Yi anymore.

"It's not like what you said, if you had been in the past, you would have handed it over to the committee and used it to rebuild Aqiu." Ke Rin said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Liu Yi said with a serious face: "The situation is different now, and the current Yaqiu is also different from the beginning, we have to decide the current strategy according to the situation." ”

"Why don't I understand this, what do you mean?" Ke Rin said inquiringly.

Liu Yi replied, "Haven't you found it yet?" The city of Aqiu is now in a power vacuum, and although there is a temporary council at present, this is only a temporary transitional method, and it will certainly not last long. There are not a few people who want to compete for power now, and we are actually in a disadvantageous position, so we must be more careful so that there will be no way back in the future. ”

"I don't know anything about power, I know whoever has a weapon has the final say!" Kirin raised his fist as he spoke.

Liu Yi said: "So no matter what, we have to make more plans for ourselves now, and no one can say how the situation will develop in the future." ”

A few days later, all the ore paid to the Seawolf fleet as a reward was finally loaded onto the battleship, and Li Xingqi naturally had to leave with his leave.

Before leaving, Li Xingqi and the provisional committee held another meeting, and the two sides finalized the future transportation of ore.

From now on, Yaqiu's ore will be transported by a warship specially arranged by Li Xingqi, and each mining company only needs to hand over the ore to Liu Yi's Light Wing Trading Company, and Liu Yi will be responsible for handing over the ore to the fleet, and after it is transported to the Seawolf system, it will be transported to the real destination through other ships.

Although this approach sounds troublesome, at Li Xingqi's insistence, various mining companies have to accept it.

After everything was negotiated, Li Xingqi prepared to leave the next day, and the night before leaving, Liu Yi specially proposed to invite Li Xingqi to dinner as a farewell to Li Xingqi.

During this time, Liu Yi had been accompanying Li Xingqi to participate in activities around Yaqiu, so the others didn't care, and the farewell banquet originally prepared by the committee was canceled.

Walking out of the hotel where the meeting was held, Liu Yi asked Li Xingqi to get in the car, and without Liu Yi's instructions, the driver had already started the vehicle and ran towards the street.

"What are you going to treat me to eat?" Li Xingqi was also not polite, and asked with a smile.

Liu Yi has a lot of relationship with Li Xingqi during this time, and unless it is a formal occasion, the two of them are already talking very casually.

"It's nothing, Yaqiu doesn't really have anything to eat, I'm just inviting you to have a drink today." Liu Yi said.

"Very good, every day is a banquet during this time, I am tired of eating for a long time, and it is not bad to drink some wine quietly."

Soon the car drove into a secluded alley and finally stopped in front of a very nondescript tavern.

This is Lao Wu's tavern, although Lao Wu is now a high-level manager in the militia organization, his tavern has never been closed, but handed over to a few old people from the original Iron Cavalry Gang to operate.

Occasionally, Lao Wu will come back to take care of it, and have a small gathering here with Liu Yi and others, and it has become a place for a few people to hide from the troubles of the outside world.

Today, Liu Yi invited Li Xingqi to drink here, and Lao Wu had made some preparations in advance, so there were only two guests in today's tavern, Liu Yi and Li Xingqi.

The two walked into the store and sat down at a round table, and Lao Wu personally came to greet them.

"What do you two drink?" Lao Wu asked.

Liu Yi said casually: "It's up to the boss to decide." ”

Li Xingqi nodded and said, "It's okay, just ask the boss to watch it." ”

"Okay, right away."

Soon Lao Wu brought the wine and poured it for the two of them, Liu Yi raised his wine glass and said to Li Xingqi: "This time I have worked hard, senior brother, I will give senior brother a glass first." ”

Li Xingqi raised his wine glass and said, "Why should my junior brother be polite to me, since we are from the same family, we naturally have to take care of each other." ”

"Senior brother, please!"

"Please."

The two clinked glasses, and each of them tilted his neck and poured a glass of wine into it.

Putting the wine glasses on the table, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

After three rounds of drinking, the two of them were already red-faced, and they had no scruples about talking to each other, and all kinds of things they didn't usually say poured out.

The two talked about the various encounters after leaving school from their previous school life, and talked about the current imperial events from their respective lives, and the more they talked, the more bold they became, and they inevitably scolded all kinds of unaccustomed phenomena.

Liu Yi and Li Xingqi both found that each other's views on many things were actually very similar, and they both had a feeling of seeing each other and hating each other.

"I ...... If...... I knew it earlier...... With a junior brother like you...... I got you a long time ago...... I'm under ......" Li Xingqi had already drunk his tongue wide, and his speech became stammering.

"Haha...... How is this ...... Possible...... If it weren't for me and the robbers...... Fight...... How can you know me......"

"Hey...... That's right...... Thank you, robbers......"

"Robbers...... What's ...... Thank you...... It's all ...... Bastard! ”

"I'll ...... tomorrow And left...... Later...... Come and play...... I invite you to drink ......"

Before Li Xingqi's words were finished, the person had already fallen asleep on the table, and soon snored.
