Chapter 382: Face and Rejection

"It's despicable!"

Seeing that the other party directly called out his name, Xiao Hongye knew that the other party must have done a lot of homework before coming. Recalling the introduction of his henchmen just now, he thought about the other party's intention in his heart, and said enthusiastically: "Welcome all the masters of He'an Base to visit from afar, Hongye Gang is very honored!" ”

He'an base!

Xiao Hongye's casual words set off monstrous waves in Peng Mingzhe's heart.

These people in front of me turned out to be from He'an!

If he had met it on a normal day, he wouldn't have been so surprised. But this time it was too coincidental, and his side had just come to Gangxi on the order of the alliance leader, secretly collecting the situation of the He'an base, and was ready to make the next move at any time. As a result, before the reception banquet was finished, people came to the He'an base.

Although it is reasonable to look at it, it is likely that this is just an accident and a coincidence. But logically, it really feels like-for-tat.

"That's right, He'an base! You are ......"

Peng Mingzhe's vague memory suddenly became clear.

I remember that it was the Flame Plague, and the guild leader led a large number of bronze masters of the guild to clean up the flame creatures in Tongmaba. There was a director of the He'an base, named Liu or something, who personally came to the door.

That's right, it's Liu Ming!

Although it was only a one-sided relationship, almost a year had passed, but with the hint of the keyword from the He'an base, Peng Mingzhe, who had an excellent memory, finally recognized him.

What is this military power-in-power figure from the He'an base doing here at this time?

Peng Mingzhe's expression remained unchanged, standing behind Xiao Hongye like a follower, but he was thinking about the other party's intentions at high speed in his heart.

Thanks to the difficulty of intelligence work in the last days, and the fact that the He'an base is out of reach of the Bandit West County Whip Chief, they have hardly paid attention to this place before, and they obviously don't know that Bandit Xi has joined the alliance not long ago. I didn't know that just today, Xiao Hongye held a reception banquet for the masters of the Rescuers Guild who arrived in the dust!

Therefore, Liu Ming did not have any worries, and directly talked to Xiao Hongye about the topic.

"As you can see, I am Liu Ming, the director of the special section of the He'an Provincial Survivor Base, and I am directly under the command of the base's executive committee. I came here this time in the hope of reaching some cooperation with President Xiao. ”

After such a simple name, he looked at the few people who followed Xiao Hongye with an inquiring gaze.

"You guys, let's go out first."

Of course, Xiao Hongye knew what the other party meant, and gave an order to the person who was originally in charge of the reception and the guard who was taking care of the door.

If he could, he really hoped that Peng Mingzhe behind him would also go out consciously. But the other party made it clear that he wanted to hide his identity and participate in this meeting. But fortunately, I haven't heard of any discord or inconsistency between the Rescuers' Guild and the He'an base...... On the contrary, I heard that the president of the Salvation Guild once helped He'an.

Thinking like this, Xiao Hongye breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and saw that the irrelevant people had already retreated, and asked, "So, what kind of cooperation does Director Liu want to reach with our Hongye Gang?" First of all, the strength of the Hongye Gang is very weak compared to the He'an base, and it really can't help much. ”

Liu Ming looked at Xiao Hongye scrutinically, and after about a few seconds, he said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, president, you don't need to exert much effort." On the contrary, it is a win-win opportunity. As the largest survivor base in Anhui Province, our He'an base has been committed to integrating the power of professionals to develop and fight against the ravages of Warcraft. Presumably President Xiao wouldn't doubt this, right? ”

"Of course not." Xiao Hongye's eyes showed just the right touch of longing, and he praised admiringly: "We are far away from the west of the bandits, and we also have great respect for what the He'an base has done. ”

"That's good!"

Liu Ming nodded, regardless of whether Xiao Hongye was sincere or not, he directly followed his words and said: "Since this is the case, then President Xiao will definitely not refuse to cooperate in the future." How about becoming a strategic partner of our base? Even, nominally a member of our base? ”

"What does Director Liu mean?"

Xiao Hongye's heart sank, and he suddenly vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"It's not meaningful, it's literal." Liu Ming's face sank like water, his body sat straight, and his momentum pressed him: "Hongye Gang and He'an have reached a strategic cooperation, and then, we can naturally support your development, and even give a certain degree of resource inclination." This includes food, oil, equipment, and even professionals to protect you if necessary. ”

"What ...... this?"

Even if there was no master of the Rescuer Guild behind him, Xiao Hongye also felt that the other party's comer was not good. Talking about strategic cooperation sounds more like a disguised annexation of them.

Although he also sent an application to the Baishanhe Alliance, his motives were not pure, he only wanted to reap benefits, and he did not intend to completely surrender his sovereignty at all.

But the problem is that if Peng Mingzhe is not here, he can still talk to the other party and ask the specific price. But this Director Liu is digging the foot of the wall in front of the alliance!

If he had known that the people from He'an had such a purpose, he would not have let the people from the Savior's Guild come with him.

As for what some people imagine, they will take this opportunity to raise their own prices and meet the two major forces...... Please, if you want to be a wall grass, you also need to have a certain amount of capital. Xiao Hongye is very clear about his own strength, and if he dares to play tricks, he will be pressed to death by someone's little thumb in minutes!

Trying to walk a tightrope and reap the benefits between the two super forces will only allow yourself to be affected by the power of the collision, and you will eventually be crushed to pieces and die with no place to bury!

Just when Xiao Hongye was sweating profusely under Liu Ming's gaze and didn't know how to respond, Peng Mingzhe suddenly took the initiative to stand up.

Although it directly spread out the situation, to a certain extent, it also made him no longer need to worry about the competition between the two families.

"I'm sorry, the Hongye Gang has already joined the Baishanhe-Chaohu Alliance." Peng Mingzhe smiled selfishly, looked at Liu Ming, whose face changed slightly, condescendingly, and said: "Let me introduce myself, Peng Mingzhe of the Rescuers Guild, invited by the Hongye Gang and entrusted by the Alliance, came to station here to assist the Hongye Gang in fighting the invasion of Warcraft!" ”

The air in the conference hall became frozen in an instant, as if an inexplicable spark had appeared.

Liu Ming never expected that the person behind Xiao Hongye would be a master of the Rescuers Guild. Although the president of the other party once cooperated with He'an, it can be regarded as a bit of friendship, but after a year, this little incense is too thin. Not to mention, the task of my own trip.

In the face of this unexpected mutation, even Liu Ming's quick wit, he didn't know how to respond for a while.

After fixing his mind, he pretended to be surprised and said, "How so? It seems that the information of our He'an base is really not timely. I don't know President Xiao, when did you join the alliance? ”

Although Liu Ming said it to Xiao Hongye, Peng Mingzhe didn't plan to give Xiao Hongye a chance to speak.

directly looked like a spokesperson, and replied for Xiao Hongye: "Director Liu, you are a week late!" The Hongye Gang is already a member of the Alliance, and unfortunately, it cannot and will not join other forces. ”

There was a long silence.

Liu Ming's expression was solemn, he looked at the senseless Peng Mingzhe, and then at Xiao Hongye, who was embarrassed and smiled, but did not veto, and his heart sank suddenly.

This mission, trouble!
