That night, in general, it was relatively stable, although some demon beasts roamed over, but they were quickly solved by the soldiers who kept vigil, and it did not affect the rest of Zhou Xiaoning and the others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, in the future, there should be more and more demon beasts gathering, but that has nothing to do with Zhou Xiaoning and them, after all, they boarded the [Ark Proverbs] and returned to the capital the next day.

On the contrary, the people of the Zhao and Wang families, because they had not yet found the Snow Drink Crazy Sword and the Fire Lin Sword, the people who entered the Lingyun Cave did not exit all night, and according to the degree of collapse of the cave, it was impossible for them to find it without a month. At that time, what the two families will have to face may be thousands of demon beasts besieging them, in a sense, Zhou Xiaoning really cheated the Zhao and Wang families.

When he came, because the route was unclear and he didn't know what kind of flying fantasy creatures he would encounter, Zhou Xiaoning limited his flight speed. Now that he is returning, he has had previous experience, so he naturally has a plan to deal with it, so Zhou Xiaoning is at full speed, but after two days and one night, everyone returned to the capital.

After resting in the capital for one night, Zhou Xiaoning set off again with the Thunder Blade Elite Horse.

However, Zhou Xiaoning did not return to the Two Realms City directly, but spared a little long way to the Dawning Base.

"Brother Zhou didn't give me any notice in advance, so that I can be prepared to meet you in advance."

[Ark Proverbs] is so large that it is impossible for the radar of the Dawning Base to not be detected. Fortunately, Zhao Hongwei knew that it was Zhou Xiaoning's car, and stopped the air defense force in time, so that there was no oolong incident of shelling the golden boat.

Now that the Dawning Base and the Two Realms City are in the honeymoon period, Zhao Hongwei learned of Zhou Xiaoning's arrival, and personally brought a group of officials to the entrance of the Dawning Base to greet them.

"Didn't this happen to have something happening, so I came to Brother Zhao and talked about something by the way."

Zhou Xiaoning stayed the [Ark Proverbs Change] outside the Dawning Base, and only took Zhou Pingzhong with him, so he entered the Dawning Base alone. First, Zhou Xiaoning knew that Zhao Hongwei didn't dare to make a move on him, unless he didn't want to trade resources anymore, and secondly, Zhou Xiaoning's confidence in his own strength, even if Zhao Hongwei really planned to be unfavorable to him, he was sure to retreat with Zhou Pingzhong.

"Okay, let's say it inside, say it inside."

Zhao Hongwei led Zhou Xiaoning and Zhou Pingzhong to the base living room, and the two sides sat down, which was the beginning of this conversation.

"Brother, you're here for these two forty-two chapters."

Zhao Hongwei got straight to the point, and directly took out two forty-two chapters of the scriptures inlaid with white flags and yellow flags.

This is also the only thing that Zhao Hongwei can think of that can make Zhou Xiaoning run this trip in person. At the beginning, when Zhao Hongwei led the army to break through the city of the Eight Banners Army and capture these two scriptures, he expected that Zhou Xiaoning would come to him sooner or later, and now it seems that it is true.

In fact, Zhao Hongwei is not very interested in the secret realm of Qing court treasures, after all, his Dawn base takes the route of scientific and technological development, even if he gains something in the secret realm, it will not have much effect on the Dawning base. Instead of wasting half a day and getting some dispensable things, it is better to trade with Zhou Xiaoning and exchange two forty-two chapters in exchange for enough benefits.

"Brother Zhao, you are only half right, in addition to wanting to get these two forty-two chapters of the scriptures this time, there is also a great good thing that I want to share with you, Brother Zhao."

Zhou Xiaoning affectionately and indifferently picked up the teacup and took a sip. Negotiation is like this, once the bottom is leaked, it is equivalent to being caught by someone and being passive everywhere. Therefore, Zhou Xiaoning can't show that he cares too much about the Forty-two Chapters, which will only make him completely disadvantaged in this negotiation.

"Oh, a good thing? Interesting, let's hear it. ”

Zhao Hongwei sat on the sofa very comfortably, he thought that he had grasped Zhou Xiaoning's key point and occupied a dominant position, but he wanted to listen to what Zhou Xiaoning planned to do.

Zhou Xiaoning didn't care about Zhao Hongwei's performance at all, what he could be proud of was now, and when he begged himself, he would beg himself.

"Brother Zhao, you should have also received it, an invitation letter from the capital."

"Yes, I received it, but there was a new move on the side of the Song Dynasty coalition army, and even one hundred and eight generals from Liangshan began to come, although there are only three or four known at present, but it also greatly increased the strength of the Song Dynasty coalition army, in order to guard against them, I really can't get out."

Zhao Hongwei looked bitter on his face, he thought that Zhou Xiaoning had surrendered the Bingzhou Army and eliminated the forces of the Eight Banners Army, and the pressure on him to deal with the Song Dynasty coalition army alone would be much lighter, but he didn't expect that it would not decrease but increase, if it wasn't for the resource supply of the Two Realms City, which made the combat power of the Shuguang base increase a lot, he really couldn't withstand the repeated attacks of more than a dozen first-class generals.

When Zhou Xiaoning heard this, his eyes rolled and he figured out the reason, the destruction of the city of the Eight Banners Army meant that the twenty-three permanent advent points were closed, and the accumulated power naturally had to be vented to the existing permanent advent points, which led to the arrival of the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan.

"In this way, Gao Shun and their side should also have some changes, and when the matter here is over, let's go and take a look by the way."

With a certain idea in his heart, Zhou Xiaoning put this matter aside for the time being, and after comforting Zhao Hongwei for a few words, he continued: "I came back from the capital this time, and on this trip to the capital, I and the Sun family, the Qian family and the eleven bases in other places have reached an alliance consensus, and our initial plan is to open up three trade routes and connect various bases, I don't know if Brother Zhao are interested in joining in?" ”

Although Zhao Hongwei's surname is Zhao, he has nothing to do with the Zhao family, but this does not prevent him from understanding the four major families in the capital. Listening to Zhou Xiaoning's words, he actually had a relationship with Sun and Qian, and he was not a vassal, but an equal cooperation, which couldn't help but make him look up.

"So, what do I need to do?"

Zhao Hongwei agreed to join the alliance with both hands and feet, but he also knew that he had a few catties and taels, and if the price was too high, he couldn't afford it.

"It's nothing, I'll build a batch of flying boats for business operations. Although our Two Realms City can train Wyvern Dragoons, the cost is too high, and the number is limited after all, so we need some ranged weapons, as well as soldiers who are good at using ranged weapons to escort the ship. As the saying goes, fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, don't I think of you, Brother Zhao. ”

As soon as Zhao Hongwei heard this, he immediately understood that Zhou Xiaoning was looking for him to ask for a weapon.

"How much do you need?"

"Each flying ship is equipped with at least 500 people, and fifteen flying boats, how can it be 7,500 people, plus enough weapons. As for the cost, Brother Zhao, you can rest assured that once the trade route is successfully opened, the maintenance cost of the caravan escort will be borne by all alliance bases. ”

Zhou Xiaoning roughly talked about his plan, and then continued to drink tea, waiting for Zhao Hongwei's reply.

At the same time, Zhao Hongwei also began to calculate an account in his heart, although Zhou Xiaoning said that each flying ship is equipped with 500 people as standard, but in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the number of people should be increased to 800 people, and the subsequent weapons must be prepared according to the standard of 1,000 people. In this way, the Dawning base must produce 12,000 people, 15,000 standard weapons and equipment. If you count the damage and weapon consumption, you will have to fill in more in the future.

Although the cost is not borne by Zhao Hongwei himself, just thinking about the loss, Zhao Hongwei feels heartache. However, if the business road can really be opened up, the profit is also considerable.

After weighing the two phases, Zhao Hongwei decided to do it.

If the Dawning Base wants to develop, it is not enough to rely on itself, this alliance is an opportunity, if it can be seized, the Dawning Base will not be far from rising.

What's more, since it is an alliance, in addition to commercial trade, it naturally includes offensive and defensive mutual assistance. Zhao Hongwei didn't ask for too much, as long as Zhou Xiaoning could ask the Bingzhou army to help him when the Song Dynasty coalition army attacked the Shuguang base, it was enough.

"Okay, I agreed."

Zhao Hongwei nodded and agreed to join the alliance.

"Okay, when I'm ready to fly the ship, I'll send someone to inform Brother Zhao, and then you can send the escort over."

Zhou Xiaoning got up as if he wanted to leave, not in the slightest to mention the forty-two chapters.

Now Zhao Hongwei began to feel uneasy, and it was not difficult to judge from the previous conversation that Zhou Xiaoning's voice in this alliance was not light, otherwise it would be impossible to determine the status of the Dawning Base's ally in a few words.

Because of this, Zhao Hongwei became more and more worried, if Zhou Xiaoning was not angry with him for snatching the forty-two chapters of the scripture and wanted to make him stumble in the future, what would he do.

The more Zhao Hongwei thought about it, the more divergent his thinking became, he brought himself into Zhou Xiaoning's position, and unconsciously came up with more than a dozen ways to destroy the Dawning Base, as well as eight strategies to override him and occupy the Dawning Base, I am afraid that even Zhou Xiaoning himself never thought that he could do this.

"What's that, since everyone is an ally, it's normal to communicate with each other, and it's useless to put these two forty-two chapters here with my brother, so I'll give it to you, it's all a testimony of our friendship."

Zhao Hongwei forced out a smile, and insisted on stuffing the two forty-two chapter scriptures into Zhou Xiaoning's hands, and also put on a look that Zhou Xiaoning looked down on him if he didn't accept it.

"Uh...... It's not good. ”

Zhou Xiaoning's heart was already happy with the two forty-two chapters, but he still had to make an embarrassed look on his face and pushed the scriptures back.

"Eh, if you give it to you, you will take it, otherwise you will not give face to my brother!"

Zhao Hongwei deliberately put on a straight face, and stuffed the scripture into Zhou Xiaoning's hand very strongly, he had already decided that Zhou Xiaoning had bad intentions, how could he leave a handle.

"This ...... Okay, then I'll take it, thank you Brother Zhao. ”

Zhou Xiaoning happily put the forty-two chapters into the storage space, and he deeply realized that Zhao Hongwei was a good person, and he was sold and returned to the number of people, these days, such a person is rare.
