The major financial vacancy has been temporarily resolved, but this huge debt with interest also made Xu Lei feel stressed. Yinluozhen is still as fragile as a precarious egg on this continent. If he is not careful, he will be doomed. He cannot guarantee that he can spend these three years smoothly.
Of course, he was not as naive as to want to pay the debt. Although he still knew nothing about the power of the Doujin Society, since others dared to lend him such a large sum of money, he must have the strength and means to deal with him. If it were only Xu Lei himself, he would definitely not be afraid. He had never seen such a big storm and waves? What he was afraid of was that the things he had worked hard to build were defeated due to the entanglement of the Doujin Society. He was not afraid of the Doujin Society, but Yinluo Town was afraid, and the residents of Yinluo Town were afraid that even if the Doujin Society could not destroy Xu Lei, they would definitely be able to destroy Yinluo Town.
The best way to deal with pressure is to convert it into motivation, which Xu Lei did.
He just thought of working crazy every day like a demon, which made Ling Qingyi feel secretly distressed.
Yinluo Town is still as unknown as ever on this continent, and it has not attracted the attention of all forces. However, it has spread among the refugees. All refugees in neighboring countries know that there is a place that they will no longer have to go hungry after going there. So a large number of refugees flocked to them.
Xu Lei was very generous to these large number of refugees who were constantly pouring in and refused to accept them, but the premise was that the rules here must be followed. Once anyone violated the rules, he would never be ruthless!
There were wastelands around Yinluo Town. Xu Lei ordered that all of them be reclaimed and distributed to those refugees who were influx. As the population gradually increased, the land soon became insufficient. Xu Lei ordered the creation of mountains and fields and personally taught the technology of reclaiming "terraced fields".
It has been more than two years since Xu Lei came here. The group of people here have gradually grown up. No one was caught casually on the street and they were all ignorant of the words. Officials at all levels were also on the right track. Xu Lei was very relaxed in decentralization. He no longer had to think about doing everything himself and putting it down step by step. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It is another bumper harvest season, and it can be said that food and grass are piled up like mountains, and various materials are filled with warehouses. People here have changed from those who had to work because they were afraid of laws to those who truly transformed into hard-working people after tasting the sweetness of the fruits of labor.
On the night of the harvest, Xu Lei held a big banquet in the Central Square and various streets. Every household sang and danced to celebrate the harvest and also celebrated their better and better life.
That night, Xu Lei just drank a few bowls of wine with everyone, said a few words and left first. Everyone just thought that he was too tired to go back to rest, and did not think too much, and continued to celebrate the harvest. They imagined the days ahead and the lives of a safe and stable life, but they did not expect that such a life would have to be paid.
The fat boss still runs the tavern, but now this tavern is just one of the many taverns in her hands. With the help of Xu Lei, she still accounts for most of the tavern industry in Yinluo Town.
At the same time, she also has an additional identity. Since it is a special guard, it naturally cannot be made public. The special guard was formed a year ago and is mainly responsible for inquiring about information and monitoring the movements of everyone in Yinluo Town, and is directly responsible for Xu Lei.
The members of the Special Guard were carefully selected by Xu Lei in Yinluo Town. On weekdays, they were all inconspicuous residents. Like everyone else, some were farmers, some were blacksmiths, some were vendors, and some were tavern owners, but their main task was not farming and ironwork. They had their own mission.
There is a small private room at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the tavern. This private room is never open to the public because it is the contact point of the Special Guard. The Special Guard will report to Xu Lei every month what he found out about that month.
"As and Nuel have a stalemate again, and both sides will have a string. As long as the last string is broken, both sides may fight another war."
The person who spoke is Wang Er, who is famous for his idleness in Yinluo Town. He is the most unwilling to work hard on his daily life. Once he has a few spare money, he will lose all his money in the gambling hall. It is precisely because of him, Xu Lei, that everyone in the town looked down on Wang Er, but no one knew his true identity, the deputy captain of the Special Guard.
Xu Lei thought for a moment and said lightly: "Watch it and see if the string still does not break in a month, then we will find a way to break it!"
Wang Er said: "I have sent a few capable brothers to lurk in. According to reports a few days ago, one of them has successfully cut into the key point of this string. As long as they have the chance, they will take action!"
Xu Lei looked at Wang Er, who was idle on weekdays. Wang Er hated labor very much and liked gambling. He could be described as being lazy and ill, but everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. He is an elite in the special guard. Every time he explains what he does, he will always do the ultimate. Just like this time, Xu Lei just asked him to inquire about the news, but he has already reached the step of starting to deal with the problem.
After discussing with Wang Er for a while, the fat boss lady suddenly pushed the door gently and walked in, looking at Xu Lei and said, "They are here."
"How many people have come?" Xu Lei asked.
"It's just the two of them."
Xu Lei nodded, "Are you ready?"
The boss's wife smiled, her small eyes showed a cold chill, and said, "Good meals and a jar of fine wine, so I guarantee that they will be satisfied."
Xu Lei also smiled, "Wang Er, go out to greet him. After all, we are coming from all over the world, so don't lose our courtesy."
Wang Er laughed loudly, "That's it." After saying that, he walked out of the door with a smile.
Since Xu Lei implemented the strategy of "investment promotion", Yinluo Town has always had many businessmen from other places. When they see foreigners, they have no strange vision as they did a few years ago.
Wang Er led two ordinary out-of-towners into the restaurant with a smile, and bent at the two out-of-towners, looking flattering and nodding.
"Two masters, please come here, our master is waiting for you here." Wang Er's face seemed to be almost laughing. Anyone who saw him would think he was a disgusting person who flattered and beat him up.
These two men are tall, one with a leopard head and one with a beard. Although they are only wearing ordinary people's clothing, they dare to be straight and have a bright look. At least it is not difficult for those with a little knowledge to see that these two men are from military backgrounds.
They accepted Wang Er's flattery and did not show any politeness. In their eyes, Wang Er was just a little slave.
"Haha, the two elder brothers have finally arrived. I have been waiting here for a long time." As soon as the two of them walked into the private room, Xu Lei stood up to greet him with a smile.
"Brother Xu, you're welcome. I'm in some trouble on the road, so I'm a little later." The man with a beard smiled and said, very polite to Xu Lei, not because of Xu Lei's identity, but because this young man has the benefits they want.
"Two brothers, hurry up and take your seat." Xu Lei smiled and pulled the chairs for the two of them, then shouted loudly to the outside of the door: "Boss, serve wine and food!"
"Here's here-" The proprietress walked in with a plaid apron and holding a tray full of food. While placing wine and food, she said with a smile: "I've prepared it early. According to Mr. Xu's instructions, they are the best wine and food."
Xu Lei personally put chopsticks on the two of them, "Please, two brothers."
The two of them looked at each other, but did not move their chopsticks.
Xu Lei saw the two of them’s doubts, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a few bites of the dishes and put them into his mouth. While chewing, he picked up the wine glass and said, “Thank you for your hard work, I’ll do it first.” After that, he raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth.
However, the two of them still did not move. After a moment of stunned silence, the bearded man bowed and said, "Brother Xu, you are polite. We still have military affairs when we go back. I forgive us for not being able to drink a few drinks with Brother Xu. We will definitely make up for it later. Let's talk about the main business first..."
Xu Lei feasted at a large table of hearty food, and poured wine into his mouth with big mouthfuls, looking hungry for a long time. After a while, he looked up and wiped his mouth with food in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Yes, yes, let's talk about the serious matter first, haha, let the two elder brothers laugh. I haven't had lunch yet, and my stomach has been roaring." After that, he tore off a shaky roast chicken and started eating it.
Seeing Xu Lei feasting, the two of them couldn't help swallowing a few saliva. They hadn't had lunch yet. They were originally going to go to a restaurant for dinner on the way to come, but unexpectedly, a few hooligans came and made the restaurant mess up, causing them to come with an empty stomach.
Although the young man in front of me had dealt a lot before, his heart was separated from his stomach. Who knew whether the wine and food were poisoned, which made them swallow their saliva but did not dare to eat the food.
"Since the two elder brothers are in military affairs and cannot drink, then eat the dishes. The roast chicken and trotters here are very famous. They are fat but not greasy and melt when they are in the mouth. Let's try it, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied. Come on..." Xu Lei said as he tore two large pieces of roast chicken and handed it over.
The two of them hesitated for a while. They saw Xu Lei eating for a long time but didn't react. In addition, they still couldn't resist the temptation. They took the roast chicken and started eating it. Not to mention, it tasted really good.
"I'll eat slowly, and call me at any time if I don't have enough, so I won't bother you." The boss lady said with a smile as she turned around and left. After walking out the door, a face that was just smiling suddenly frozen, and a cold amplitude curled up at the corner of her mouth.
The roast chicken and the trouser trouser taste was so good. They were already hungry. The two of them had similar food to the beast. Despite this, they still only ate the food that Xu Lei had eaten first, and they never drank, because Xu Lei had been warmly greeting the two of them to drink, and it seemed to be a little anxious. The wine was very suspicious.
The three of them feasted and until they stretched their stomachs, they began to talk about what they were today with satisfaction.
"Two brothers, you have brought everything." Xu Lei wiped the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.
The big man with leopard head and eyes smiled, took out a battle soul sack from his arms and shook it, "Put five thousand pairs of armor, ten thousand weapons of various types, all of which are here." As he said that, a pair of armor and a big knife were shaken out from it.
This battle soul treasure bag, like the battle soul ring, is both objects with storage functions.
"Brother Xu, please inspect the goods. This is the best-quality military weapon in our Yas Empire army. This time we two brothers are risking the crime of killing the nine clans."
