The old man didn't confirm Li Mingyi's words, but just looked at Lu Mutou.

Although Lu Mutou was a little wooden, he also knew that Li Mingyi was not a wicked person, so he nodded, acknowledging Li Mingyi's words.

Lu Tietou also noticed Li Mingyi, and after looking at it, he said to the old man: "Master, this is the person who secretly destroyed Raven's wire. ”

Li Mingyi was a little shocked, he was so easy to look at, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Lu Tietou.

Lu Tietou saw through his hands and feet, but he didn't pierce it on the spot, obviously his mind was not as simple as he seemed on the surface. At least heavier than Rumu's mind.

Lu Dali nodded, indicating that he knew, and said to Lu Mutou: "Wood, you must have known when you came here, Lu Gongtang is in trouble this time." ”

Lu Mutou looked confused, but Li Mingyi came to his senses in an instant. The old man's words meant that they had known for a long time that the Vulcan Cult was coming.

Lu Dali said to himself: "After we determined that gunpowder was the medium of the mechanism, we vigorously studied gunpowder until we finally made a breakthrough a year ago. Unexpectedly, he was targeted by the Vulcan Cult. ”

Li Mingyi finally understood and asked, "So, what the Vulcan Sect wants is the formula for gunpowder?" ”

Lu Dali nodded and continued: "That's right, they sent someone to ask for the secret recipe half a year ago, and we didn't agree. But they are pressing step by step, we can only say that as long as they become the commanders of hundreds of workers, we Lu Gongtang will naturally offer the secret recipe of gunpowder with both hands. ”

Li Mingyi said: "So the Vulcan Sect united the people of the Ministry of Industry and took down the leaders of the four gates in one fell swoop at this Hundred Workers Conference?" ”

Lu Dali nodded and said, "We didn't expect that the Ministry of Industry would help the Vulcan Sect. ”

Li Mingyi asked again, "Is it Wei Wuji who is in charge of the Vulcan Sect this time?" ”

Lu Dali shook his head and said, "It's not him." ”

The main thing of the Vulcan Sect this time was not Wei Wuji, and Li Mingyi was also very puzzled. After all, in the Vulcan Sect, there was only one person with a bigger position than Wei Wuji, High Priest Wang Buyi. Of course, it could be a senior bishop.

Li Mingyi didn't express his doubts, anyway, he was in charge of this matter, and it didn't matter if it was Wei Wuji or not.

Li Mingyi didn't express his position immediately, but just said: "Since the Vulcan Sect needs a formula for gunpowder, you can't just give it to him." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Tietou was reluctant. He said, "Give? You're an outsider, but it's lightweight. The Lei family has controlled the military supervision for generations, and finally I have a breakthrough in Lu Gongtang's technology, and I see the hope of replacing them, do you want to give it up? ”

Since he refuses to give in, then the enemy of his enemy is his friend. Li Mingyi doesn't care what generations control the weapons and superintendents.

Li Mingyi said: "Since Lu Gongtang is unwilling to give gunpowder technology to the Vulcan Sect, is it willing to support Lu Mutou to become the leader of this hundred workers?" ”

Lu Tietou and Lu Dali glanced at each other, and their hearts fluctuated a little. Although Lu Mutou was expelled from Lu Gongtang, he grew up in Lu Gongtang after all. And obviously didn't completely break with Lu Gongtang.

Lu Dali pondered for a long time and said: "I, Lu Gongtang, am naturally willing to support wood as the leader of hundreds of workers. It's just that now that the Vulcan Cult has four votes, what can we do? ”

This statement completely proves Li Mingyi's conjecture. Similarly, Lu Dali also needs Lu Mu to come up with enough value. If he can't be the leader of a hundred workers, then naturally he can't return to Lu Gongtang.

However, the Vulcan Cult has four votes, and it has basically confirmed the position of the leader of the hundred workers. In this case, the possibility of winning the command of 100 workers is simply minimal.

However, others may not have a way, but Li Mingyi, who is the apprentice of the ghost of the Ming Dynasty, thinks that it is still possible.

He then asked about the rules of the vote.

Li Mingyi asked: "I remember that this vote is one vote for each commander, and one vote for the previous hundred workers, a total of six votes, right?" ”

Lu Dali nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Li Mingyi continued to ask: "Open voting or anonymous voting?" ”

Lu Dali said: "In order not to hurt the harmony, it has always been for the commanders to write the names of the people they support on paper, put them in boxes, and be supervised by the craftsmen and elders of the past dynasties, and finally announced them uniformly. ”

Li Mingyi asked again: "Can you vote for yourself?" ”

Lu Tietou said impatiently: "Of course not!" How can anyone be so shameless. Do you have a way to do it. ”

Li Mingyi didn't care about his attitude, straightened out his thoughts, and said, "There is a way that may be tried." It's just that Lu Mutou needs to cooperate. ”

Lu Mutou hurriedly said on the side: "You said, as long as you can help Lu Gongtang, I will definitely be willing to cooperate." ”

Li Mingyi showed a smile and said, "Although this method cannot ensure that it is foolproof, it is also an opportunity. First of all, Commander Lu needs to ensure that he can vote for Lu Mutou. And in the meantime, there will definitely be candidates, or somebody else, who will come to you for votes. At this point, you need to hesitate and then agree to the other person's request. But in the end, you still need to vote for Lu Mutou. ”

Although Lu Tietou was very reluctant, under Lu Dali's gaze, he still reluctantly nodded and agreed.

After nodding, Lu Tietou asked again: "I will naturally vote for Lu Mutou, but then there is only one vote, and they have three votes." What's the use of that? ”

Li Mingyi smiled and said, "Although your Lu Gongtang skills are extraordinary, you don't understand people's hearts. If I let Lu Mutou become the leader of this hundred workers, I don't know how Lu Gongtang will repay him? ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Lu Dali's eyes, and he asked: "If Shaoxia can help Lu Gongtang survive this crisis, he will definitely do his best to repay Shaoxia in the future." ”

Li Mingyi took out the gold medal of the King of Xiliang and said: "Actually, it is not a repayment, but the King of Xiliang is located in the northwest, and I hope to buy some firearms with you." ”

Lu Dali took the gold medal and looked at it carefully, then glanced at Lu Tietou, saluted respectfully, handed back the gold medal with both hands, and said: "If the son helps my Lu Gongtang to tide over the crisis here today, what is the need for these firearms, I Lu Gongtang will definitely offer them with both hands." ”

Li Mingyi accepted the gold medal with a smile and said, "Then we can be regarded as an alliance." ”

Lu Dali and Lu Tietou said: "Naturally. ”

After saying the alliance with Lu Dali, Li Mingyi immediately pulled Lu Mutou and left. Along the way, he kept explaining to Lu Mutou.

On the way, Lu Mutou asked, "Can Li Mingyi's method work?" It's not a lie, is it? ”

Li Mingyi replied: "Why am I lying to you? What's the benefit of lying to you, you just wait to be the commander of Lugong. I'll remember what I taught you in a moment. ”

Lu Mutou only nodded and agreed for Lu Gongtang.
