Chapter 38: Dispute

In the main camp of the Righteous Banner Officers' League on the main square of Kawa City, a fierce dispute was going on among the top echelons of the League.

"Poye, do you mean to let us surrender to the Wei people!" Bitadala slapped the table hard, his tone full of anger, "Do you see how many of us have been harmed by their poisonous smoke?" ”

Po Yeleng snorted, he pointed his finger at the table, and responded with the same anger: "I just think it's time for us to take a step back, this is not called surrender, our priority at the moment is to survive first, and then think about anything else." Bitadala, if you want to settle accounts with the Wei people, I won't stop you, but how many shells can those troops under our command consume the Wei people? ”

"You ......"

Chapas, the leader of the Officers' League, sat at the top wooden table, his whole body as if he had settled down, and in front of him lay a stack of bark paper and wooden sticks with Chu Zewen written on them.

In these days, the reports sent to him without exception did not have any good news, and from what was known, the eastern border of the Kawa country had been blocked by the neighboring country of Batu, and the goods of the caravans trading on the front border had been seized without exception.

Just the day before yesterday, all the foreign chambers of commerce that remained in Kawa City, whether or not they were being verified by the new government, suddenly announced their withdrawal from Kawa City. On the grounds that the new government of Kawa is no longer able to protect the rights of the people and the freedom of trade, the major chambers of commerce have decided to temporarily suspend all exchanges with Kawa and withdraw all the assets of the chamber of commerce in Kawa City.

Among these foreign chambers of commerce, there are even large chambers of commerce that hint that if the Kawa Nation dares to prevent them from withdrawing from their industries, the Cold Moon Nation may consider taking direct military action.

Yesterday, something even worse happened, the unknown fleet suddenly entered the coastal waters of the Kawa country, blocked all the coasts, and bombarded several villages in the south and southeast of Gyeonggi with special shells that released poisonous smoke.

All the bombed villages had fertile fields that could produce food, but those villages that had previously cultivated Mengxian grass were not bombed, Chapas was not stupid, and he himself knew some of the calculations in the hearts of the Wei people.

This is still the news that came back from Kawa City within its reach, but what is the situation on the far western and northern borders? Is there a blockade there by the armies of neighboring countries? Was it also bombed by the Wei army?

All this can only be known in the next few days, when the news of the northern border in the west comes back.

"Where is the way out...... Chapas felt dizzy in front of his eyes, this man from Rainforest Continent, who has always been strong since he was a child, but at this time there was a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart, which he had never had when he was besieged in the mountains by the Egan army in the west before.

The argument between Poye and Bitadala continues, and their supporters gradually join in, and the inside of the tent becomes more and more noisy.

"Take a step back, what you said is light, I bet with you, the step that the Wei people asked us to retreat was to let us retreat directly into the abyss!"

"What's wrong with forbearance for the time being and plotting for the future? When the Kawa mother develops in the future, it will not be too late for us to put up the flag! ”

"In the future, even if your words are placed in the South Rainforest Continent, I will count you as respecting reality, but this is the North Rainforest Continent! Let me ask you, since the founding of the Wei people, which country in the Northern Rainforest Continent has changed its life against the sky? Leave our fate to the Wei people, will we still have a way out! ”

"Then you want to die now? There is the country of Taino in the distance, and the country of Jiuchun in the near future, which of these two countries has a good end! ”

The crowd was arguing, and Poye simply walked out, no longer talking to Bitadara, but said to Chapas, who had never spoken from beginning to end, "Leader, please make a decision early, we don't have time." ”

"Leader, no!" Bitadara Rush Road.

"Let's be quiet." Chapas's tired voice sounded, and the inside of the tent gradually calmed down, "What Bitadala said is right, it is easy to make concessions, but this step is to retreat before the starting point. ”

"Leader!" Poye roared angrily, "If we all die, then what ideals are there!" If you don't want to back down too much, at least lift the verification order for the foreign chamber of commerce first, and let the Wei people see our sincerity, and then we have to talk. ”

"It's not that the verification can't be slowed down, but many of the industries held by those foreigners are themselves built out by our Kawa people with blood and sweat, and if we can't take back these industries, what should we do with our plan to popularize government medical centers in the country? How should literacy education be implemented in the future? Where will the money come from? ”

Seeing that he couldn't convince Chapas after all, Poye sighed, turned around, and left directly on the grounds that he was unwell.

The other officers were shocked by Poye's actions, and no one expected him to do so.

In the midst of the discussion, the General Staff Adecha looked at Chapas and said, "Leader, Poye and we are no longer all the way, you have to pay attention to him." ”

Cempas shook his head and sighed a little disappointed: "I studied in the same academy with him, and I know his temperament very well, he is just panicked because of the critical situation, and it doesn't hurt to let him leave here temporarily, and it doesn't hurt to calm down." ”

Gonardo, who was sitting on Chapas's left-hand side, asked, "Leader, in that case, the verification order against those foreign chambers of commerce ......"

Chappas was silent for a moment, and then said firmly: "We can slow down, but we must stick to it, and we can't let them leave here with the blood and sweat of their compatriots!" ”

Gonado didn't say anything more, he turned away and lowered his head, a hesitant look in his eyes.

……

After lunch, Wu Neng left the restaurant in a hurry, he asked around, and finally found out about a chamber of commerce where there were still Hanyue people left.

"Oil Mill Chamber...... According to the passerby's description, it should be here...... Hey, isn't this sign written on the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce? Wu Neng looked at the plaque of the Chamber of Commerce in front of him with a puzzled expression.

Under the guidance of passers-by, Wu Neng came to the north of Kawa City under a double-storey building closest to the north gate of the city, and finally found a foreign chamber of commerce that was still open.

"Forget it, anyway, let's try our luck first."

Wu Neng smiled and said haha to the two Kawa soldiers standing at the door, and walked towards the Chamber of Commerce.

The two soldiers didn't stop Wu Neng either, they looked at Wu Neng vigilantly, and then let him in.

There were only three people in the main hall on the first floor, one was cleaning the room, the other was cooking brown beans, both of them were from the rainforest, and the third person was a cold moon man, who was sitting in a leather chair, cross-legged while flipping through the miscellaneous books in his hand.

"Looks like you're in the right place." Wu Neng's heart relaxed, he straightened his clothes and walked into the main hall.

After hearing Wu Neng's footsteps, the Hanyue people, who were reading the newspaper, raised their heads impatiently, and said lazily in Chu Ze: "Why are you here again, didn't you just ...... just now?"

When he saw Wu Neng's face, Hanyue wiped his eyes in disbelief, hurriedly put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up, and asked in Wei Guoguan's dialect, "Son, are you?" ”

"Oh, that's right, my friend and I came to Rainforest Continent because of some things, and we happened to encounter the peasant uprising on the side of Kawa Country, so we stayed here for the time being, and I feel that I am about to calm down these days, so I plan to come to the city to see if I can take a ride with the Chamber of Commerce and return to Wei from Rainforest Continent." Wu Neng took out the pre-prepared rhetoric.

"Well, that's really unfortunate, you also saw it when you entered the city today, and the city is starting to be unpeaceful again today." Hanyueren said with a smile, "Besides, what kind of peasant uprising, you don't know, Childe, it's actually a rebellion by the military leader." ”

Wu Neng suppressed the disgust in his heart and asked lightly, "So, we won't be able to leave here in a short time, right?" ”

The cold moon man said apologetically: "That's the case, Childe, I have to remind you a few words, it won't be peaceful in the next few days, but if you want me to say, it will be calm after a while." Otherwise, you can leave your name with me, and I will send a letter to the shopkeeper of our branch, although our chamber of commerce does not do carriage and horse business, but as long as you can pay a little money, there will definitely be arrangements above. With that, the Cold Moon Man smiled mysteriously.

Wu Neng nodded, "I've been talking about it for so long, and I still don't know the honorable name." ”

"Under the surname Mu, his name is Mu Shoude."

"Then there is Mr. Laomu, this is the fare that has been prepared, please inform the shopkeeper of your chamber of commerce, if there is a chance to take a ride in the future, then this thing will be given to your chamber of commerce." Wu Neng said as he took out a pill box containing pills according to Shi Cheng's instructions, and after the pill box was opened, an intoxicating rich pill fragrance floated out, and a high-quality, full and round pill came into Mu Shoude's eyes.

"This ...... This is! Mu Shoude was stunned, and could no longer maintain Fang Cai's composure, "You are Danshi?!" ”

Although Mu Shoude was only a deacon of a small branch, after all, he himself had been in the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce for more than ten years, and he had naturally seen a lot of things, and he recognized at a glance that the things that Wu Neng took out were pills, and the quality was extremely high.

This is also a strategy that Shi Cheng has come up with, using the elixir to show his identity, even if he is a Chita person, the next journey will be much more comfortable, not to mention that Wu Neng among the three is a cold moon person.

Wu Neng saw Mu Shoude's expression so excited, and the big stone in his heart fell down again, originally he was worried that the people here were illiterate, but he found that he still underestimated the knowledge of the old oilers in these multinational chambers of commerce.

Wu Neng shook his head and said, "It's not me, it's my friend." ”
