Chapter 291 "The City Lord Is Very Far-Sighted!"

The person who came claimed to be the guard captain of Sand City, named Diji.

Just as Zheng Yu guessed, the Lord of Sand City would definitely come to talk to him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

I don’t know why, although Di Ji looked very polite, his eyes were full of a sense of “great intelligence”.

"If my guess is correct, you should have discovered my true identity first."

Zheng Yu made a bold assumption.

The corner of Diji's mouth rose, "Coincidences, they are all coincidences. In fact, you hid it very well, but as the guard captain of Sand City, I must protect the safety of Sand City."

Assuming it is correct... Zheng Yu is sure that the captain of the escort team in front of him is very smart.

"So, are you coming here to give me an eviction order?"

Zheng Yu pretended to be frightened and asked.

"No, no, no, how dare we? We just want to confirm our identity with you, sir."

Although Di Ji's tone was modest, he adjusted the cannon barrel skeleton equipment on his shoulders while speaking.

"identifying?"

Zheng Yu smiled, but looked at Di Ji with cold eyes.

"Oh, don't you all know who I am?"

"Otherwise, you can just treat me as a smuggler and arrest me directly."

Seeing Zheng Yu's tough attitude, Diji not only didn't get angry, but became more convinced of his previous speculation.

Zheng Yu did everything in style.

Every word he said pretended to be a tough attitude of "I forgive you and you don't dare to touch me."

"How dare I catch you? Who are you and who am I? It's just because of the recent turmoil. Our Sand City is the only city that produces expensive materials, so we naturally have to be more cautious."

Diji was convinced that Zheng Yu was a high-ranking member of the empire.

Even though Zheng Yu never said who he was from beginning to end.

Zheng Yu looked at Di Ji, "Then if I say that I am here for smuggling, will you catch me?"

"You're not." Diji said firmly.

Zheng Yu: "I am."

"..."

Seeing that Diji didn't understand the meaning of his words, he said to Diji: "Go back and tell your city lord that I am here for smuggling."

"If you want to arrest me, then arrest me."

"If you don't catch me, don't bother me."

"in addition……"

"Tell him that officials in the empire cannot help themselves. Let's understand each other."

After saying that, he ignored Diji and walked deeper into the alien streets with Mark.

…

"He really said that?"

In the top office of Sand City, Hudson listened to Di Ji's report with a surprised look on his face.

"Yes, he also said that he couldn't help himself, so let's forgive him."

Diji told Haidson truthfully what Zheng Yu said.

Hudson couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I didn't expect him to be a good brother."

"I thought that the people sent by the Second Prince would be some strong-willed people, or strange people with high skills, but I didn't expect that they were forced to come here."

"However, thinking about it, it is impossible for smart people to come to our place."

Hudson thought for a moment, then glanced at Henderson and asked, "Why do you think he insisted on saying he was a smuggler?"

"..."

Diji was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I didn't quite understand when the upper echelon of the empire said that he was a smuggler. After all, we have a showdown."

"My subordinates were thinking about it on the way back before they figured out the meaning. I think there are two reasons."

"Tell me."

Hudson looked at Diggy with encouraging eyes.

"The first one, I thought he was showing weakness," said an encouraged Diggy.

"It means that as long as we treat him as a smuggler, he is a smuggler."

"As long as we ignore him, he can pretend he doesn't see what's going on in Sand City."

Hudson nodded, "It makes sense. He is just a powerless official. He has neither led troops nor been appointed by the emperor. He is nothing."

"If I were him, I would choose to save my life. No matter what the task is, protecting my own life is the most important thing."

"I think he will probably hide here with us for a while until the empire stabilizes before making any plans."

"Go on, what about the second reason?"

Diggy hesitated.

"Just say whatever you have to say," urged Hudson.

Diggi said: "I think another reason why he insisted on saying he was a smuggler might be that he wanted to... order something."

"Because I asked the aliens and the others, and the empire's upper echelon once boasted that all the materials in the spare warehouse would be taken away."

"Maybe he wants us to help him pay."

"But I'm not sure, just guessing..."

Di Ji said with some uncertainty, his voice getting lower and lower, because he felt that the other party was a little wishful thinking. If they didn't kill him and spared his life, they were already being very kind. Why did they still want to eat Naka?

And so much more?

That's Sand City's output in a year.

Are some lions opening their mouths too much and having too much appetite?

But Hudson slapped the table and said, "Digi, you are so smart!"

Di Ji was stunned.

Hudson immediately said: "You're right, that's what he meant!"

"I'm afraid he won't want it."

"As long as he dares to ask for it, it means that he has really figured it out and will not go against us."

"He is actively putting the handle in our hands."

"If he wants it, give it to him."

Haidson knows very well what kind of people these corrupt imperial high-ranking officials are like. After all, he is one of them.

Naturally, he understands the truth very well.

For some things, we are not afraid of the other party asking for it, but we are afraid of the other party not wanting it!

As long as the other party opens his mouth, it means that the other party is on the same line as us.

"Don't tell me, I really didn't realize you were so smart before."

Faced with Haidson's praise, Diji touched his head. He himself felt a little incredible. He had been called a fool before, but now he has become enlightened.

Am I... suitable for politics! ?

Hydeson ordered: "You go and inform the aliens, try to satisfy him, let him raise any needs, let him do whatever he wants, let him check whatever he wants."

"But..."

Diji said uncomfortably: "He wants everything, do you really give it to him?"

Hydeson said indifferently: "He can't take it away, he is a smart man, he must understand one thing, that is, he is safest in Sand City."

"If he leaves Sand City, not only will I kill him, but the second prince will also kill him."

"Since he can't get out, why not give it to him, won't he still put it in my warehouse in the end?"

"In the end, when the overall situation is settled, no matter how many valuable things there are in Sand City, they will eventually belong to the new emperor, and he won't get a penny."

Digi: "The city lord is far-sighted!"

Hydeson smiled without saying a word, his expression was unfathomable, looking at the setting sun, stretched out his hand to drive away a butterfly on the balcony.

"What season is it, why are there still butterflies?"
