Chapter 239

㈣⒉ It can't be an indiscriminate attack, right?

㈧Lu Lin told Luo Di about his doubts. Luo Di was silent for a while, but did not give any direct answers. He just said that he might need to confirm some things later.

2 As for now, instead of asking him, the person who came here with Lu Lin, it is better to find someone who knows more about the local situation.

4 For example, Luo Men, the mayor of Fu Fuerde City.

㈢ Speaking of this, now that Luo Di and Snow Ferret are back, Lu Lin should really talk to Luo Men.

㈢ It just so happens that it will take some time for Oro to come back. Although the things needed to go to Oasis City have been obtained, there is no hurry to set off.

０ During this time, Lu Lin can just deal with other things.

⒌ After confirming the information collected with Luo Di, Lu Lin opened the teleportation array and returned to the Wuxiang headquarters.

Seeing Lu Lin coming back, Lan Jie and others were very happy, and immediately planned to set up a banquet to welcome Lu Lin.

Unfortunately, Lu Lin didn't have much time to eat and drink with them this time. After briefly explaining the matter to everyone, he began to confirm the current situation of Wuxiang.

During this period, the people Lu Lin brought over have basically been settled, but the current income is quite limited, and there is no stable source of food.

Workshops related to daily necessities have begun to be built, and candidates such as tailors and craftsmen are also available, but even if they are built, the productivity should be enough to supply the basic needs of local people for the time being.

Of course, in general, the construction of the Wuxiang Gang headquarters is actually quite smooth, the fields are being dug, and breeding is also going on. Food and feed are temporarily provided by the Wuyin Church, but when it comes to foreign trade, they really don't have anything to show.

However, just because they have no goods to sell does not mean that others have no goods to sell.

As the only ally of the Wuyin Church, Lu Lin and others can purchase goods from the Wuyin Church.

⒉ They don't have manufacturing or agricultural exports, so it's still okay to be a middleman.

⒐Of course, the types of goods and shipments need to be discussed in detail with the Wuyin Church. For this reason, Lu Lin went to the Wuyin Church headquarters and held a meeting with Lord Gafu of the Wuyin Church for an entire night. Finally, he returned to the Wuxiang headquarters with the information and sorted out two trade lists with everyone.

4One for export and one for import.

The export list is almost entirely for the purpose of being a middleman. The small part of the import list is needed by the Wuxiang headquarters, and most of it is still for being a middleman.

④Of course, these are all temporary. After the Wuxiang headquarters develops for a period of time, it can be self-sufficient, and education and medical care are established, armed forces are guaranteed, and the legal system is improved. Then he can consider absorbing some population and then think about the issue of industrial expansion and upgrading.

3After preparing the information needed for the development of Wuhua Township, the next question is about the strange creature.

㈤Lu Lin didn't know what these people were going to do by transporting this magic puppet, but there was no doubt that it was a very dangerous thing and posed a huge threat to Fufuerde City.

liuNo one else should have realized this matter yet. In this case, it will become an important bargaining chip in the negotiations between Lu Lin and Luo Men.

⑷Lu Lin not only intends to use this thing to gain an advantage in the business negotiations with him, but also hopes to use this matter to obtain Luo Men's intelligence support.

Of course, the specific negotiations must be handed over to A Diao.

Lu Lin himself should focus on visiting and learning first.

At the same time, if A Diao is too radical, you can also pull him back a little to prevent him from being too aggressive during the negotiations.

After making preparations, Lu Lin took Li Mi, Luo Di and A Diao to the City Lord's Mansion.

This time, he did not choose to go at the dinner time, but in the afternoon.

He wanted to meet the city lord in private.

On the one hand, the things to be discussed did need to be kept highly confidential.

On the other hand, Lu Lin wanted to create a little status gap for the other party.

If he just talked to him at the banquet, he would be just a "distinguished guest". As the host, the other party's status would actually be slightly higher than his.

But if it was a private meeting, it would be another story...

"Mr. Lu Lin is willing to come today, but it makes my house glorious. Please sit down."

Luo Men invited Lu Lin to sit down with a smile on his face, looking very happy.

"I wonder why Mr. Lu Lin came to see me?"

When he asked this question, Lu Lin could feel that he was a little excited.

Perhaps, he thought Lu Lin finally couldn't help but talk business with him, so he was very happy.

But the smile froze on Lu Lin's face as soon as he said the first sentence after he sat down. swollen

"Lord Luomen, I'm here to inform you of something."Z

Lu Lin's voice was low and smooth, trying to maintain the pretentious style of a mysterious alchemist. H

"Fufuerde may be facing the disaster of destroying the city."U

Chapter 393 Look, isn't the effect of this pretentiousness coming?A

Luo Men has been in the business world for many years and has experienced all kinds of situations.玐←五♦※qi∠【Browse↑‖摝△⑶四④2novels<^日Update《≥ＱUn：小. N

He has also met people like Lu Lin who refused to communicate with him at first, but later gave him big news when he found him. q

And this so-called big news generally means that his industry has major problems, or that he has suffered a major disaster recently. ｕ

He had also been frightened when he was young, but later on he saw more people, and this kind of trick no longer frightened him. Ｎ

So when he heard Lu Lin say these words, instead of panicking, he actually wanted to laugh. :

Until Lu Lin placed a jar in front of him. 2

It was a sealed crystal jar containing the body of a white insect creature that had been split in two. ⑼

He didn't know what it was at first and thought it was just some kind of prop used to bluff people. But after Lu Lin told Luo Men the origin of the thing, the process of discovering it, and his speculation about it, the latter His face became more and more solemn. private

It's true that he has never seen this kind of bug, but that doesn't mean that he hasn't heard other related rumors. 〇

After all, it couldn't be such a coincidence that Lu Lin and others came, and it just happened. like

And it was from his words that Lu Lin learned that magic puppet riots had happened several times. 3

However, the independent city-states where such things happened were not city-states near the desert. The Dagashi Cult also tried to investigate, but because these city-states where changes occurred were often quickly taken over by more powerful gangs, they were unable to investigate. To too many things. ⑸

Although the gangs that took over were all roaming gangs that existed independently in the past, I can personally see that there is probably the same driving force behind this series of events. ⑥

The Dagash Cult had been trying to investigate this matter before, but they had no clue. The biggest problem was that they didn't know where these rioting puppets came from, nor did they know the other party's idea of ​​​​choosing to attack the city. ⒋

But now comparing the information provided by Lu Lin, Luo Men suddenly understood everything.

ｓYes, the cities chosen by the opponent seem to be out of reach, one in the east and one in the west, and they are all far away from the desert.

oBut if we think about roads, we can find that these cities have one thing in common - they are all cities on the same trade route network.

U Or to be more precise, they are the farthest cities that can be reached by the trade route network near the desert.

S also considers that the source of these things is likely to be an oasis city in the desert, and then there are traces of the other party's intentions.

u "They are very ambitious. Could it be that their ultimate goal is to take over this entire territory?" Luo Men murmured, tapping his five fingers rhythmically on the table.

O "Maybe, haven't you suspected them before?" Lu Lin asked.

: "No, those oasis cities are in special circumstances. Their caravans enjoy special treatment everywhere. We have checked all the suppliers related to magic puppets, but we have not found them," Luo Men frowned. He said, "Damn it, why didn't I think that the things that couldn't be checked were the most likely ones..."

"You also said that you can't investigate, but I guess you can't investigate either," Lu Lin said calmly, "Do you know anything about the forces behind them?"

⑷ "I don't know," Luo Men shook his head. "The remaining three oasis cities are getting more and more obscure. The outside world's understanding of their internal affairs is quite limited, but no matter who the pusher is, it doesn't matter."

8 "As long as this bug flows out from the underground city in the center of the desert, the execution can only be carried out in these three oasis cities."

"It doesn't matter if we can't find the hand behind them. As long as we can chop off their outstretched hands and make their plans go bankrupt, that's enough for us."

4 Speaking of this, Luo Men looked at Lu Lin and asked solemnly: "Mr. Lu Lin, as far as I know, you Wuxiang are actually very strong, right?"

彡“It depends on which aspect you are referring to,” Lu Lin said.

(iii) "Strength," Luomen said, "The fact that you can eat so much combat power of the Holy Cult shows your strength, and I can also feel the strength of the person next to you. Others may only think that you are just a new kid. power, but in fact, the cutting-edge combat power you possess far exceeds that of most gangs in the chaotic land, right?"

0 What Luomen said sounds a bit exaggerated. After all, the number of people in Wuxiang who can act outside is actually only in single digits.

But if you think about it carefully, this is actually true.

Jiu said that people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. There are countless gangs of different sizes in the chaotic land, but in fact, in most gangs, there are very few people with even master-level strength.

Among Lin and even high-level warriors, those who are more capable are easily attracted by big forces and absorbed into their own forces.

Most of the so-called medium-sized gangs in Qing cannot find master-level combat power, and they only compete with each other for the number of high-level combat power.

Although there are only a few people around Lu Lin, even if Luo Di is not included, the fighting power of Oro and Numi can already sweep almost all small and medium-sized gangs.

④ Under the siphon of talents from such a big force, looking at the entire chaotic land, it may not be easy to find a force stronger than Wuxiang among those forces other than the old sects and large gangs.

Since Erluomen mentioned this...

9 "You mean, you want us to help you settle this matter?" Lu Lin asked, "Is it necessary? In terms of finding the whereabouts of these puppets, it would be easier for you to solve it yourself, right?"

Ling "You misunderstood. I do want to ask you to take action, but what I want to solve is not the issue of these puppets." Luomen shook his head, "I will arrange for my people to solve the issue of the puppets."

⑤ "According to their previous actions, these puppets should not be used to target Fulfulde City. It is more likely that they are transiting locally and using other caravans to send them to farther cities."

"I will send people to find this batch of goods and observe where they end up and how these guys act."

"As for the request to Wu Xiang..."

He looked at Lu Lin.

"You mean, do you need us to be the knife used to chop off your hands?" Lu Lin asked.

"Yes," Luo Men nodded.

0 "You can make the decision on this matter?" Lu Lin asked, "Don't you need to ask the higher-level person in charge of the Dagashi Cult for instructions? I don't want it to happen that you don't have enough chips in your hand, or that you can't cash in after the matter is completed. The situation with chips.”

"Don't worry about this," Luo Men said, "I still have the right to decide the remuneration for hiring you."

"But what if I need more than just reward?" Lu Lin said, "The Great Gash Cult is very interested in Lanyelin's business, right?"

4 Hearing this, Luo Men suddenly took a breath.

There was no expression change on his face, and he even immediately showed a decent smile.

The more Han Ke behaves like this, the more Lu Lin can feel that he attaches great importance to this matter.

0 "I admit that Lanyelin does have a lot of interesting things," he said with a smile. "It seems that Wuxiang wants to make a fortune from it, but it lacks a suitable partner?"

wu "No, don't get me wrong, we don't lack partners," Lu Lin said, "What we lack is partners who can provide us with satisfactory conditions. Moreover, you may have made another mistake, we have no hometown, This is not a mercenary organization that can be hired with money. It wants us to take action... How about guessing how much the Infinite Church paid?"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Men fell into silence.

oHow much did the Infinite Church pay?

ＵWhat does this mean?

ｓDid the Infinity Church waste a lot of effort to successfully win over Wuxiang?

U is not impossible. Judging from the record, Wu Xiang's role in turning the tide in that war may not be enough to describe. It seemed impossible to turn the Infinite Church out of chaos in the midst of civil strife and single-handedly reverse it. A victorious battle, such a result, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Boundless Church was saved.

oEveryone just thinks that they appear suddenly, but if this is not the case, in fact, they have always existed, but are not known to most people, which is not impossible.

9: In the final analysis, there is currently too little information about Wuxiang. No one knows how much background this mysterious organization that suddenly appeared has.

It is said that the Infinite Church spent a lot of money to invite them to come out to save themselves, which is not impossible.

Privately, Lu Lin said again that just having money cannot persuade them.

ba Then things may be a little complicated.

Luo Luomen was smiling and drinking tea without saying a word.

⒉Looking at his gaze that did not fall into the tea cup at all, Lu Lin knew that he must have bluffed him.

Although Lu Lin used to pretend to be mysterious and high-end, it can't be said that it was just for this moment, but this image line is indeed working now.

The Qianwuxiang Gang has just been established and has achieved great results. It is really difficult to see through the bluff while maintaining mystery.

Wu Benlulin just wanted to get in touch with Luo Men and establish a trade relationship with the Dagashi Cult.

But now that there are unknown forces that are secretly planning to target the Da Gash Cult, and it is on the same path as their main target. With Luo Di’s thighs to hold him, if Lu Lin does not seize this opportunity, he will directly win over Da Gash Cult. Without the cooperation of the Shijiao itself, it might not be that easy to talk to these guys in the future.

After being silent for a while, Luo Men finally nodded.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go back to the headquarters here immediately," he said. "Are you free tomorrow afternoon?"

"Yes," Lu Lin nodded.

"Okay, then at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I will bring the person who has the power to make the decision," Luomen said. "You will talk to him directly then. Is that okay?"

"No problem," Lu Lin nodded again.

"Okay, then the matter is settled," Luo Men's face showed a smile again, "By the way, I wonder if you can give me a favor at tonight's banquet?"

"Tonight...search〖＼search≌∽:⒉si㈢逜鲁4...well, sorry, maybe not," Lu Lin shook his head.
