Originally, Commander Cao and Popovich were still in a situation before, but after figuring out these situations, Captain Cao suddenly became a lot more honest. Although he is an unruly person, he also has his advantages, that is, when he knows that he is wrong, Captain Cao is also a person who dares to admit his mistakes. With just a little understanding, Captain Cao can be sure that Popovich is an old man worthy of his respect. And Captain Cao also noticed that if he wanted to do a good job now, he really had to learn from Popovich.

Head Cao immediately asked people to serve wine, and served good wine. Even the cellar daughter red brewed by Head Cao himself was brought up, just to make Popovich happy. The weapon that Chief Cao relied on to communicate with the world also played a huge role today. As soon as the mud seal of the jar was slapped open, Popovich's eyes straightened. He didn't have time to care about the people around him, so he snatched the wine jar from Buckley's hand, and didn't even care about the wine bowl handed to him. Among this plundering group, there is no second person who can hold a high degree of aging and drink so heroically, except for the bandit leader Cao. And the old man Popovich's drinking method is even worse than that of Captain Cao. Most of the people think that this is caused by the fact that the old man Popovich still doesn't understand how strong the wine of the plundering group is, and the fat man is slandered for a while, but he is afraid that after a while, the old man will become drunk and lie here, showing a big foreign appearance.

Unexpectedly, Popovich kept the jar dry, burped to his heart's content, and finally put the jar down. The old man changed in an instant, his face was full of red light, his eyes were also bright, and he didn't look like he was drunk at all, but he was more energetic than before.

"Good wine, good wine! That little girl really didn't deceive me, once she drank the wine of this raiding group, the other wine was almost like horse urine!" Popovich seems to have forgotten his previous disrespectful words. Looking at the heroic appearance of the old man when he was drinking, he knew that he was a real old drunkard. In addition to talking about the survival of this exiled realm, Scarlett's boasting in front of him about the wine of the raiding group in Haikou is one of the major purposes of his trip. For this kind of wine, even if it is a special trip, it is not a problem.

"The old man only has to talk if he wants to drink, I don't have anything else in the plundering group, but I have enough good wine and meat! Even if the old man wants to take a bath with wine, there is no problem at all. Head Cao also smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly asked people to bring a few jars of good wine of various varieties. Captain Cao, this is really not nonsense, when he once coaxed Rondo and a large group of flaming dwarves into the gang, what did he rely on? That is the waste of lavish spending! The last thing that Captain Cao is afraid of is that you have desires, and Captain Cao is only worried about the kind of people who have no desires and no desires. As long as you have desire, it can be co-opted, this is an eternal truth.

"That's very good, old man, all my life, just this wine. If you don't drink it for a day, your whole body will be uncomfortable. Once you have two or three sips of good wine, you feel that the whole person is dozens of years younger!" Popovich was also straightforward, without any politeness, and carried a jar of wool in his hand, and took a big gulp of cow to drink, which was indescribably enjoyable.

Captain Cao is happy that this Popovich and Old Man Ao are really interesting. Both of them are old monsters who are full of wealth, and they talk happily when they get along. Take the preference of the two as an example, it is also interesting. Old man Ao is a smoker but not a drinker, and thinks that alcohol will make the wise lose their coolness. Popovich is a heavy drinker and not a smoker, and firmly believes that there is something good in drunkenness.

"Captain Cao, I have heard your name for a long time, and today we are finally able to meet you. It's just that old man, I didn't expect you to be more domineering than the legend, Scarlett's girl, but you are a person who knows the general and the etiquette. But after a few moments, Popovich finally pulled the topic back and began to ask questions.

"Old man, don't you know, aren't I also working hard? This Niluo River Basin is the mother river of the Exiled Domain, if you really want to take root and grow here, the Niluo River is definitely the most indispensable and important thing. As long as you control this source of life, it is equivalent to having the capital to make a fortune. It's just that we are now suffering from internal and external troubles, and we have to race against time, so we have to find a way to pull the natives here into rule as soon as possible. The folk customs here can be fierce, and if there is no tough side, it will not be able to convince the public at all. Head Cao sighed, also a little helpless. The news of the Kuban has been delivered, and Commander Cao obviously feels that the Rex Empire is indeed preparing to take the plundering group. Looking back at the Beamon Empire, the attitude of the royal family is unclear, and the eastern provinces immediately adjacent to it are the world of the Wolf family, and Captain Cao's refusal of their solicitation is already equivalent to making enemies with them. To put it bluntly, the current raiding regiment is not much different from the orphans. When the time comes, the people of the Wolf clan will be able to not stab Captain Cao in the back, and Captain Cao will be thankful. This is not impossible, as long as there are enough interests, nothing is impossible, even Old Man Ao agrees, so he did not interfere with the current radical approach of Head Cao.

"I'm just thinking, the crazy times are coming, let's not lose the power to fight back......" Head Cao's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and there was also a burst of worry in his heart. It is definitely not an easy task to be the boss of a poor family and a rich road, and the more you go back, the more troubles you will have, and Captain Cao is now deeply aware of this truth.

"Old man, I have lived most of my life, and I have a deep feeling that there are many things that you can't rush to come. The bigger the thing, the more so. The way of being a human being, if you can endure loneliness, you can keep prosperity. Popovich pondered for a moment, and finally just said this. Judging from the artistic conception of these words, it is obvious that it is also a conclusion based on my own experience. After a pause, Popovich continued: "I can't hide it, this time I came to the muddy snail and what I saw and heard along the way, which also made the old man feel that something was inappropriate. Even if you want to unite the various alliances in the Niluo River Basin, this forcible technique is not enough. The entire Exile Realm has been around for a long time, and it is like a serious illness, which cannot be attacked in a hurry, but can only be treated slowly. If you rush too much, you're pushing these people who might have been friends even further. Don't be afraid, your current behavior can definitely be called perverse. ”

"Oh, does the old gentleman think so? I just do the opposite of you. In troubled times, heavy canons must be used, and severe diseases need fierce medicine!" Commander Cao waved his hand and said, "It's been so long since my raiding group entered the realm of exile, if you want to say that I don't know about this place, I don't think that's the case. Everyone is from a different angle, the scenery they see is naturally different, and the feelings they get are even more difficult to unify. In my opinion, the chaos here through the ages is not impossible to sweep away, what is lacking is just a person with a strong hand. In that case, why can't I be the one who sets this precedent?"

After Captain Cao finished speaking, he stared at Popovich with burning eyes, obviously referring to what he said. It is okay to say that Captain Cao is forcing Popovich to look at him, obviously this is what Captain Cao has heard and learned about Popovich's past before he deliberately said this. Popovich had ambitions as a young man, but the key thing is that he did not achieve absolute success, and until now, he has only made a paradise and settled in a corner. If that's just the case, Head Cao feels that he has done it, isn't the current mud snail secluded land a blessed land for the people to live and work in peace and contentment?

"It's nice to have this ambition, but how can you be sure that you will be able to change the world? The Exiled Realm has never been a place for the people of the Exiled Realm, there is no freedom in the name of freedom. Your Beamon Empire has always wanted to make some profit from this exiled realm, but there is no definite way to do it. Your raiders have come here to break this limitation. In contrast, the human world does much better in this regard. They nominally had nothing to do with the Exiled Realm, as if they were just bystanders. In fact, many of the ugliness hidden here are inextricably linked to them. If it weren't for their provocations, there would have been no constant conflict between the many indigenous forces in the Exiled Realm. If it weren't for the fact that they were selling weapons privately, the fighting here would not have increased day by day. They can say that there are many good things here, and the more chaos there is, the more profitable they are here. Whether it's the arms trade or the slave trade, they have been in business for centuries and are deeply entrenched. Popovich sighed and said in his heart: "Although I have long had the idea to change all this, after all, my ability is limited and I am powerless. By now, it's hard to have any ambitions. ”

Without waiting for Commander Cao to speak, Popovich continued: "I have also secretly observed and understood your raiding group for a long time. There's no denying that a lot of what you're doing here is so satisfying that even an old man like me can't help but shout for you. A lot of what you did was something I wanted to do but didn't dare to do. I'm glad to see that there are people who come after me who dare to break these rules. But now from the perspective of a bystander, I can only tell you rationally that those guys in the human world can't easily give up the chaotic order they have worked so hard to cultivate in this place. Anyone who wants to put an end to all of this must be their enemy. Just one wrong step will lead to radical change!"

"The old man has such kindness, and we should thank you. But I also have a problem. Head Cao smiled and said: "Grovel and do not bend the knees, bend the knees and do not surrender, give up the name and do not abandon the truth, and do not sell your art." This is a routine that I have always adhered to, and there is never a compromise in it. What I see now is a thriving future. As far as the eye can see, it is all the pride and courage of my plundering regiment! Even if I fail, what will happen? At least I feel that I can bear all the consequences of defeat, and I will never be alone!"

Captain Cao can smash a hole in the ground even if he farts, so frank and outspoken, and he is also loud. A bunch of scum from the raiding regiment also slapped themselves in the chest. What else can they say about this? The people of the raiding regiment have done everything, but they have never been afraid.

"Good, good, well said. Maybe it's really because the more we old men live, the less ambitious we become, and the older we get, the less courageous we become. No matter what you do now, you must look ahead and look backwards, consider the gains and losses of your interests, and be afraid of taking a wrong half a step. Maybe the Exiled Realm has been waiting for an ambitious master like you, as long as you have no regrets!" Popovich glanced approvingly at Captain Cao, and then looked at Old Man Ao and said: "Sure enough, this world is no longer the world of us old men, and we still have to watch these young people dance and make clouds!"

"As for me, my body is still strong, maybe I will have a chance to see you hold up this sky!" Popovich flicked his sleeves and got up to leave. It can be seen that this old man is worth the trip this time, he has seen everything he wants to see, and what he wants to confirm has been confirmed.

"What do you mean, old man? How long have you been here and you want to leave? Isn't it because our raiding group is not well entertained?" Old man Ao pulled Popovich back to his seat, looking displeased.

"Of course not. I'm very optimistic about this group of young and promising boys, but the remnants of our era no longer belong to this trend, so naturally we still stay where it's cool. Popovich didn't hide it, and said honestly.

"You're too much of an outrage. It's true that young people are enthusiastic, but they can't do anything big with enthusiasm alone. Behind this, you still have to have a well-informed person like you to support you, so that you can avoid detours. Since you are so like-minded, why don't you stay and spend some more time? Old man Ao waved his hand, with a kind smile on his face, but his eyes were flashing, and he quietly gave Captain Cao a look.

Old Man Ao's meaning is obvious, this is clearly to ask Captain Cao to keep Popovich. If there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure, and the old man Ao also thinks so. Moreover, there are a few more old and serious people in the raiding group, and Old Man Ao has no opinion at all, but is even more happy to see it. Popovich is definitely a master who even the old man has to give a thumbs up, since they are all here today, where can they be easily let go? )
