Although violence sounds a bit arrogant, it is the most fundamental means to solve problems in the world. Any peace and negotiation is based on the strength of force. Without suppressive force as the basis, everything is empty talk.
After more than two years of hard work by Xu Lei, Yinluo Town has been completely renewed. It is no longer the gathering place for refugees who did not shit. Today, Yinluo Town has shops, city walls, and a bumper harvest. Its scale and economy can also be called a small city.
However, for a long time, except for some yamen runners who can wear and hold swords and hold swords, there is no force at all. Xu Lei did not develop his army in the past two years, but did it on purpose. What Yinluo Town needs most now is time. Once the army begins to develop, it will inevitably attract the ideas of neighboring countries, and it will cause a catastrophe.
Now, the time has come, and all aspects of Yinluo Town have been on track. Whether or not the army is developed, it will only be a matter of time before the idea of neighboring countries. In fact, more than a year ago, Xu Lei contacted some people from the Yas Empire military through various means, and finally set his sights on the two quartermasters in front of him who were responsible for some of the military supplies of the Yas Empire.
Yinluozhen, who has no substantial force at all, is now a colorful bubble that looks colorful on the surface, and it is broken into pieces with a touch of light. These two military officers who spent a lot of money to maintain their relationship are now in handy.
To form an army, you must first have a sufficient amount of weapons. It is not a matter of one or two days to create a batch of weapons. According to Yinluo Town’s current situation, the best way to get a batch of weapons in a short period of time is to buy them.
Although there are many empires of all sizes on this continent, no matter any country, the control of ordnance is strictly enforced. As long as the production exceeds a certain amount of ordnance will be convicted, there will be only one place to buy a large number of ordnance at one time - the army!
People are all greedy, and military officials are also humans. They occasionally do some reselling weapons on weekdays, but it is the first time to resell such a large number of money like this. In the face of the astronomical money that Xu Lei promised, they decided to take the risk of killing the nine clans.
Xu Lei took the pair of Cheng Liang's armor and the steel-made big knife, checked it casually, and said lightly: "Well, it's not bad."
"Of course!" The man with leopard head and eyes said proudly: "This is the equipment used by our Royal Guards of the Asia Empire. They are made of high-quality steel. This time we are taking a big risk for help."
Xu Lei smiled, "I'll bother you this time." As he said that, he reached out to take the battle soul treasure bag full of weapons from the other party.
The big man with leopard head and eyes quickly shrank his hand and laughed, "Brother Xu, you have seen it too. Should we also see what we want?"
Xu Lei said: "What?"
The big man with leopard head and eyes froze when he heard this, "You..." At this moment, the bearded man raised his hand to stop him, looked at Xu Lei and smiled, and said lightly: "Haha, I have a very poor memory. I have five thousand armors, no ten gold coins, ten thousand weapons, five gold coins per hand, and a total of exactly one hundred thousand gold coins."
"Well, it's not too expensive." Xu Lei just smiled, but did not move.
"Haha, we naturally don't dare to charge high prices when doing business with Brother Xu. But today, my brothers and I are still plagued by military affairs, so I won't bother us. I also asked Brother Xu to give us gold coins. We will also give the group of brothers guarding the entrance of the town. If they don't see us back for a long time, I'm afraid we will think that we have broken our trust. If they want to go back and report the news, not only will my brother and my family be in danger, but I'm afraid it will also affect Brother Xu Lei, haha..."
"Haha, that's right." Xu Lei smiled in line with the situation. How could he not understand the other party's words? He was telling him that there were still a group of spies outside. As long as one of them was released and reported, the Yas Empire would definitely raise troops to attack after the matter was exposed. At that time, the Yinluo Town, which he had been working hard for more than two years, might no longer exist.
"The two generals are overly worried." Xu Lei continued to laugh and said, "We in Yinluo Town have always been hospitable. How could we neglect the sixteen guests guarding outside? I have already sent someone to 'hello' them. Maybe they are drinking in a certain tavern now, haha."
The two of them changed their expressions! They naturally had a backup plan when they came here and brought sixteen confidants to hide outside the city as spies. As long as they had an accident, these spies would expose the matter. At that time, the Yas Royal Family would be furious. At most, they would lose their lives, Xu Lei and Yin Luozhen, and they believed that Xu Lei would never dare to do anything to them. After all, the value of Yin Luozhen is far more than 100,000 gold coins.
But they underestimated Xu Lei. Since half a year ago, Xu Lei sent special guards to target their every move. How could the trick of ambushing spies outside the city be hidden from Xu Lei's eyes? So when they were having dinner just now, the spies outside had been solved by the special guards, and Xu Lei deliberately said the exact number of sixteen.
However, these two quarantine officers were considered people who had been on the battlefield and quickly calmed down again. The bearded man smiled at Xu Lei and said, "Brother Xu is really considerate. The sixteen brothers outside must be very grateful to you. But my brothers have been on the battlefield for a long time and are addicted to the cultivation of war souls. If they don't practice it at the time, they will feel uncomfortable."
As he said that, a flash of light, the two of them sacrificed their battle souls at the same time. Looking at the light, they were just three-star battle soul masters. Small countries like the Yas Empire were already very amazing to be able to reach three-star battle soul masters. Xu Lei still remembers a few years ago that the prime minister of the Yas Empire was just a four-star battle soul lieutenant.
Xu Lei also laughed and said, "Come on, I also have the habit of cultivating the battle soul. Once time comes, I will feel uncomfortable all over my body."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange black light flashed, and a demon sword with a strange arc all over the body suddenly appeared in his palm!
Both of them were shocked, and then they felt a strong pressure and a sense of unreasonable chest tightness and disgust. They also found out that the other party was a soul warrior in advance, but they did not find out what the other party's level was, but they did not agree with it, because in their eyes, a person who was willing to be the leader in this place where birds do not shit, would definitely not be too high.
What surprised them this time was that they couldn't see the other party's level. For the first time, they knew that the light was also black. From the black light, they couldn't see the other party's level. This was extremely strange!
However, the powerful pressure made them vaguely feel that they were definitely not the opponent of the person in front of them!
"Brother Xu turns out to be a master, haha." The bearded man forced a smile, suppressing his inner uneasiness and fear, and said: "My brothers have only achieved their current cultivation level for twenty years. I didn't expect that Brother Xu had such a state at such a young age, which really made my brothers admire him."
"But!" The bearded man changed his tone and suddenly said: "Unless Brother Xu can kill me in an instant at the same time, although I am not your opponent, as long as I try my best to escape, I will lead a large army to attack you! By that time..."
Xu Lei narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He listened patiently to the other party's roar and his index finger gently tapped the tabletop, as if he was listening to a very ridiculous story.
It was not until the person who was talking was stared at by Xu Lei that he stopped talking and stared at Xu Lei blankly, not knowing what the other party wanted to do.
It suddenly became quiet and the air seemed to be drained. Although the night in Yinluo Town was particularly cool, the two of them were still soaked in sweat.
After a while, Xu Lei laughed, took back his fighting spirit, and then got up and left from the chair without looking back.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, not knowing what the other party wanted to do, but seeing the other party withdrawing their fighting soul, they couldn't help but feel relieved. Looking at Xu Lei's departure back, the two looked at each other, and a trace of coldness flashed in their eyes at the same time.
In fact, they were not kind-hearted. From the beginning, they never thought about doing a fair deal with the leader of this place where birds do not shit. To mobilize such a large number of weapons at one time, this matter will be exposed sooner or later. They do not want to lose their lives. They plan to kill the other party during the transaction. Although the gold coins must be taken away, the weapons will naturally be taken back.
They have been waiting for the opportunity. Now, the other party has taken back his war soul and turned his back to them. This is the best opportunity!
They believe that as long as they join forces to strike with all their strength, they will be able to kill the opponent who has retracted their war souls and turned their backs to them in one fell swoop!
And the fact is that even though Xu Lei is stronger than them, there is nothing he can do in this situation. He is not strong enough to defeat the other party while taking back his war soul and turning his back to the other party.
However, Xu Lei still walked out of the private room safely and said to Wang Er who was waiting outside the door with a blank expression: "Take the bodies of the two of them clean, don't leak the news, don't pass it to Yas."
"I understand!" Wang Er, as the deputy captain of the Special Guard, did not do the destruction of corpses. He was familiar with the handling. When he walked into the private room, he looked at the two corpses with wide eyes, Wang Er calmly tore off a chicken leg, poured a glass of wine, and started eating and drinking calmly. Then, looking at the two military commanders who had not figured it out until death, he smiled faintly: "You are indeed very cautious, but you are too cautious. The vegetables are indeed poisoned, but the wine is filled with medicine. You only eat vegetables but not drink alcohol, and you can't blame others."
It was late at night when Xu Lei returned to the room. Ling Qingyi was sitting in the study and carefully clicking the pile of booklets with a pen. When he saw Xu Lei coming back, he smiled at him, "There is hot water on the stove, so let's take a break soon." After that, he went back to his room.
Xu Lei approached the study and picked up a booklet at will. Seeing the comments filled with the beautiful fonts of Ling Qingyi, he couldn't help but feel moved. In the past two years, Yinluo Town has developed rapidly. Everyone here knows that all this is attributed to the young man named Xu Lei, but no one knows that there is a woman behind all this, who stays up late every day to plan their future.
"Qingyi, I will definitely do it." Xu Lei murmured to himself. He knew what he did today for. The five-year agreement he had signed had passed. Xu Lei was still far from the great hero. However, Ling Qingyi did not mention it at all. He knew that this smart woman didn't want to put too much pressure on him, but he did not forget this for a moment. Everything he did was just for those four words - the great hero!
