Ji Wuming's purpose was obviously not to be secretive. Even if he was discovered by Liu Zhi, he still kept a certain distance and always hung far behind a few people.
Wherever Liu Zhi walked with his front legs, he would lead people with his hind legs to distribute wild vegetable soup at the place where he left.
This unabashed behavior clearly shows that he wants to win over people as much as possible and keep his position as lord.
Such exaggerated overt and covert fighting made some people who knew the inside story frown.
However, for more ordinary people, the identity of the lord of the Red Flower Gang is not the focus of concern. What they value more is who can bring them real benefits!
I have to say that this is very realistic and real in the wasteland.
Ji Wuming's status in the Honghua Gang may really be inferior to that of the Tianyuan Alliance.
If Su Mo is willing to show up in person now and shout the slogan of taking over the Red Flower Gang, then 200,000 people in the entire territory will definitely overthrow the lord Ji Wuming as soon as possible and welcome Master Wang!
Again, whoever can bring everyone a happy life can become the lord. If he harms everyone's interests, he will be overthrown the next day.
Although Ji Wuming had not harmed the interests of ordinary people since he became the lord, he was unclear about who he was and offended Cui Lu, the captain of the Polar Star Fleet.
If Tianyuan investigates him afterwards, Ji Wuming will be the undisputed culprit.
Not counting the fact that Liu Zhi is favored by the Tianyuan Alliance, this alone is enough for him to die in the mouths of ordinary people a hundred times!
"Xiao Liu, I see that Lord Ji of yours is really diligent and never stops for a moment."
The older Third Assistant Qu Changfeng turned his head, stared in the direction of Ji Wuming for a long time, and suddenly sighed.
If an ordinary lord encountered this situation, he would most likely be unable to withstand the pressure and just vote.
After all, compared with the powerful Tianyuan Alliance, how can we compete in this situation?
Even after Ji Wu Mingcong and Cui Lu "fell out", he was still trying to resist with his own strength, trying to keep his position as lord unchanged.
"I didn't expect this." Liu Zhi scratched his head: "The previous Lord Ji was not so responsible. Maybe it was because of the sudden pressure. Who knows?"
"He kept following us. Everyone was working, so we were too embarrassed to continue shopping."
Second Officer Ni Yan shook his head and motioned for several people to return to the gathering place along the other side of the field ridge.
Nearly 100,000 people were working in the fields, but they were the only ones walking around like no one was doing anything.
Although the ordinary residents didn't have any objections, they still felt a little uncomfortable after being contrasted by Ji Wuming.
"There are only two days left in the disaster. The cargo ship departing from the territory should be arriving soon. Be prepared. We also have to go to the next territory to deliver supplies, otherwise it will not be good if the time is prolonged."
Ni Yan lowered his voice and glanced at the three people walking behind him: "As for deeper cooperation with the Honghua Gang, let's wait until the disaster is over. Now it seems that Lord Ji will not be satisfied with our conditions and requirements.
"
"Well, okay, I don't have any problems here, everything is as you wish."
After replying to Ni Yan, Liu Zhi also knew that at this time, several people felt a little uncomfortable because of Ji Wuming's disgust.
But there is no way, after all, he is just one of the deputy lords who has just gained power in the territory of the Red Flower Gang.
Not counting the big lord Shang Ji Wuming, there are six deputy lords competing with him.
In the power structure of the Red Flower Gang, the managers of the four major gathering places operate independently, and each has more or less one or two armed forces in their hands.
As for the other two vice-lords, one has strong clan power as the backing, and the other is widely respected for his profound knowledge and outstanding reputation.
Although his own status in the territory has recently improved, Liu Zhi knew that he was not qualified to confront Ji Wuming head-on until he had an armed force with sufficient combat effectiveness.
Otherwise, there is no other way to make the other party scruple except to pull Tianyuan's banner.
However, regarding this point, Liu Zhi had already made a decision in his heart, and he also received some unpromised advice from his old uncle in private.
Just wait for the Tianyuan fleet to leave the territory, and immediately plan to execute it.
Smiling all the time, he sent Ni Yan and Qu Changfeng to the temporary dock and boarded the boat. Liu Zhi then turned around, found an uninhabited corner, and pulled Su De over.
"Uncle Ben," Liu Zhi looked around cautiously and couldn't help but ask in a lowered voice, with a hint of anticipation and eagerness in his tone, "I wonder if the private armed force you mentioned before will come with the cargo ship this time?
"
"What are you talking about? What kind of private armed forces? I never mentioned it??"
Su Deben acted as if he didn't understand, and plucked his ears with a puzzled expression.
When Liu Zhi saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but he still explained patiently: "Uncle Ben, you forgot that you mentioned before that our Tianyuan Alliance has other allies besides the territory, including those from the city next door.
Those Blue Star people. You also know the situation in the territory now. There is nothing we can do to win over us Earthlings, but if we can start with those Blue Star people."
Liu Zhi hasn't finished speaking yet, but his meaning is already very clear.
After earth players enter the Tianyuan territory or join the alliance, how dare they risk being kicked out of the territory to disobey the order of the lord Sumo.
Everyone wanted to take what Somo said as their creed, and it was not his turn to make promises to win them over.
But those Blue Star people are different, they have cognitive impairment, and their thoughts are not as firm as the players.
As long as he promises huge profits, it may not be a big deal to win over him in the long term, but helping him in the short term is definitely not a big deal.
"Oh, you said this. I didn't say it, Xiao Liu, I suggest you don't think about it.
Although the people I mentioned came with the ship this time, their appetites are very big, which cannot be satisfied by a little guy like you." Su Deben shook his head repeatedly, pretending to be concerned and said seriously:
"Xiao Liu, listen to what my old uncle said, the water here is very deep, and you may not be able to grasp it. According to the sums I gave you before, in fact, as long as you are willing to run the business steadily for a period of time, with the help I give you, you can ensure that
If you are not accurate, you can achieve your goal without any obstacles. But if you are eager for quick success and want to achieve your goals in a short time.”
Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhi's heart sank when he heard the words, but he did not show a disappointed look, but looked over firmly: "Uncle Ben, I know this matter is not easy, but I am willing to do my best.
To meet their requirements. As long as I can achieve my goal, it is worth paying some price."
"Then do you know what they need?" Su Deben raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to be surprised by Liu Zhi's determination.
Liu Zhi replied without hesitation: "I would like to hear the details!"
"Please come here and listen. If you are still willing after listening, I will help you connect. Whether it can happen or not depends on the communication between you."
Su Deben shook his head slightly, and finally raised his hand with a look of helplessness.
Liu Zhi's face immediately lit up and he quickly leaned over to listen.
After a while.
Until Su Deben sighed and his figure completely disappeared from sight, Liu Zhi still stayed there and meditated secretly.
Although it was not much different from what he expected, the other party's appetite was indeed shockingly huge.
But this huge direction is far from expected.
In Liu Zhi's initial expectation, the private armed forces of the Blue Stars should be a group of mercenaries who made a living by fighting. They only needed to pay enough money or materials to impress them and work for him.
Now it seems that the Blue Star people are obviously not vegetarians and have their own plans.
"This is troublesome. It's not a problem that they need some people. When they hear that they are going to the Tianyuan Alliance, most people are probably eager to leave immediately. They don't need my persuasion at all. But the key to the problem lies in the autonomy they require. If anything happens in the middle
If any conflict arises, it will be difficult to resolve."
Liu Zhi took a deep breath and looked up at the distant sky, his heart filled with worry and uneasiness.
He knew that this cooperation with the private armed forces of the Blue Stars in the alliance would not be easy, but he also understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
To achieve cooperation, the other party needs 5,000 people as an intention deposit.
Each subsequent armed action requires an additional population of one thousand to five thousand as compensation.
In addition, whenever there is a need to use private armed forces, population needs to be used as payment.
Although the rarer talents among them can be worth one for a hundred, how many talents are there in the Red Flower Gang?
What troubled Liu Zhi the most was that in addition to material requirements, the other party also insisted on having sufficient autonomy.
This means that once the tasks he assigns are difficult to perform or are not in line with the wishes of this group of people, there is a high possibility of open disobedience.
Liu Zhi couldn't help but secretly sigh, it didn't look like he had hired a group of mercenaries, it was like he had invited a group of uncles back.
Moreover, they are still a group of unknown combat power, and may even be inferior to the "big men" of the armed forces in their Honghua Gang!
"Brother Liu, what are you thinking about, so lost in thought?" Just as Liu Zhi was standing there deep in thought, Song Chunrui, Wang Bi and Pang Pangyuan chased after him from behind while laughing and talking. Looking at Liu Zhi's lost look, the three of them were stunned.
People couldn't help but look at each other and joked aloud.
And Song Chunrui's eyes lit up even more, and he said: "In my opinion, Brother Liu has to be the most capable. It has only been a while, but he is about to secure his position as the lord."
"That's because Brother Liu was walking so fast just now. Maybe he didn't see how embarrassed Lord Ji was. He wanted to chase us but was dragged away by a group of ordinary people." Wang Bi also joined in the fun and said with a look of gloating on his face.
smile.
"Hahaha, if I had known now, why bother in the first place? I think it is too late to remedy this."
The three of them said something to each other, and Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He felt like someone had taken off his underwear, as if his secret had been spied on.
But as the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face.
Faced with these compliments and jokes, Liu Zhi was embarrassed to keep a straight face.
Although he was still a little disappointed with the Blue Star people's private army, he was also infected by the atmosphere of the three people at this moment, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Don't say that. Lord Ji is still the Lord of our Red Flower Gang. I am just a deputy lord. There are six other deputy lords like me in the territory.
And don’t speak ill of our lord behind his back in the future, otherwise if someone hears it, he will think that I, Liu Zhi, am dissatisfied."
Liu Zhi's words revealed a hint of self-deprecation and helplessness, but they also reflected his clear understanding of the power struggle within the Honghua Gang.
When the three of them heard this, they immediately came up with some ideas.
It seems that Liu Zhi does have objections in his heart, but he still lacks sufficient armed forces to support his actions.
If you don't have enough power to be feared, it will be difficult to seize power even if there is overwhelming momentum.
"Brother Liu, are you worried that you won't be able to deal with it if you break up?" Pang Pangyuan asked tentatively.
Liu Zhi shook his head slightly, but finally sighed: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back and have a drink while there is still time today. When Tianyuan's fleet arrives tomorrow morning, you will also leave with them.
I don’t know when the next time the four of us will meet again.”
"It's not important to drink, Brother Liu, you have to think about it carefully." Wang Bi advised.
"The four of you and I are in roughly the same situation. We suddenly got this opportunity from a powerless ordinary person, so we can understand your current difficulties. To be honest, we will probably face the same situation as you next.
situation."
"I can now understand the theory of why the ancients had great achievements and great achievements." Song Chunrui promptly added: "If we don't resolve this contradiction now, do you think Lord Ji will be able to tolerate you in the future? This red flower will help you."
?”
Is it necessary for you, a group of outsiders, to point fingers when you are so intolerable?
Liu Zhi was speechless after hearing this, and the entanglement and helplessness in his heart surged into his heart like a tide.
He also wants to fight back, but he doesn’t have the weapons to fight back with a hammer?
If a rabbit bites people when he is anxious, isn't he afraid that people will directly kill him?
Sensing his inner struggle, Song Chunrui sighed softly and stepped forward to pat Liu Zhi on the shoulder: "Brother Liu, we know this decision is difficult, but sometimes, people have to plan for themselves and the future."
Wang Bi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Brother Liu, think about it carefully. If you don't take action now, how will Lord Ji treat you when he stabilizes his position and resolves conflicts with Tian Yuan? I'm afraid.
By then, you won’t even have a chance to resist.”
Pang Pang Yuan was more direct: "Brother Liu, you are a smart man and you should know what is best for you. Although the three of us are not talented, if Brother Liu is in need, we are willing to help you."
If Liu Zhi can become the leader of the Red Flower Gang, if you help me and I will help you, the three of them will not have no chance.
Listening to the words of the three people, waves of complicated emotions surged in Liu Zhi's heart.
The four of them chatted for a while, and Pang Pangyuan suggested that they talk while eating.
At the dinner, the four of them drank wine and talked about their experiences and future plans.
Although Liu Zhi pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, he was always thinking about how to make a decision in his heart.
It was not until the dinner was over and the three people left that Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to have made some determination.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs."
"Ji Wuming dares to fight with Tianyuan, why should I, Liu Zhi, be afraid of fighting with him?"
