Chapter 1351 We hit it off right away. Why dont we talk about money when we go out to hang out?(1/2)
Talking about feelings?
After learning the identity of the other party, the survivors in ragged clothes couldn't help but be stunned.
They stood under the door of the restaurant, looking through the cracks inside with complex eyes.
Wow.
The crackling sound of frying came from inside, and the aroma of oil was mixed with the fragrance of wild vegetables, which caused the guard members standing at the door to swallow their saliva unconsciously.
At this point in time, there really aren't many places where you can use meat and fish gatherings.
The fact that the Mineral Island Alliance is willing to entertain us with such a meal is enough to prove their enthusiasm and attention.
"If there's nothing else to do, just leave quickly. These two people are distinguished guests and you can't afford to disturb them."
Although the guard member was willing to exchange a few words after accepting the bribe, it did not mean that he could allow this group of people to enter the restaurant and interact with outside guests.
There are indeed many survivors in the gathering place who want to climb high branches, and many people have similar ideas.
They are unwilling to remain ordinary, but they themselves do not have the ability to change their fate against the odds.
Therefore, he had no choice but to find some survivors with great potential to follow him in order to change his own destiny.
However, some people are discerning and choose those who are still in their infancy.
But some people just don't know what to do. Basically, they will be tempted when they see who is obviously stronger.
To the members of the guard, these people who just came over to inquire about the news were the latter.
In Tiantie Island, and in the entire Mine Island Alliance, nothing is more important than rules.
If you let them pass, it would be like breaking the rules.
As a result, being monitored by the guards' eyes the whole time, several people could only turn around and leave with a slight reluctance.
They didn't have the guts to provoke these wolf-like guards.
In the past few days, it is not that no one has put their thoughts on the Mine Island Alliance.
But the result was without exception. Any force that dared to provoke paid a heavy price. Even the two alien tribes were almost defeated by their entangled army of miners.
After walking around the corner, several people stood in the shadows.
"Boss, there is obviously something wrong with this group of people. How could they be our people?"
A short man opened his mouth and said.
Completely different from the mental outlook of the residents of Tiantie Island, the man's face is thin, his complexion is dull, and his eyes are sunken, showing fatigue and gloom.
At this time, his thin lips opened and closed as he spoke, bringing out a clear hint of dissatisfaction and resentment.
From Mengyue Territory?
Is this a lie?
The guard member didn't know that the man who just handed him the steamed bun was none other than Lu Guangyin, the lord of Mengyue Territory!
Well, to be precise, it should be the former lord.
Before the disaster of spring cold struck, Lu Guangyin was afraid that his decision to order rice planting would be torn apart by a group of angry survivors, so he had to flee with supplies and cronies.
But I still agree with the saying, those who are enlightened will get many help, and those who are unjust will receive little help.
On the way to escape, the close team of nearly a hundred people actually had a serious internal disagreement due to different ideas.
Lu Guangyin advocated escaping to large gathering areas and relying on the materials in his hands to seek opportunities for a comeback.
Others plan to take the supplies in their hands and start over with a group of survivors.
The ideas of the two parties are completely opposite to each other, and naturally there is no room for relaxation.
Although there was no big fight in the end, more than half of the people chose to go their separate ways, and along the way, they also took away a lot of the supplies they had brought, which indirectly destroyed Lu Guangyin's dream of making a comeback.
Therefore, with a batch of supplies left and only about 20 cronies, Lu Guangyin could only choose the Mine Island Alliance as a temporary place to stay.
Wait until the situation becomes clearer before making plans to go to large gathering places.
However, just now, the rumor that a large iron boat came to the pier triggered the whole Tiantie Island.
Realizing that this might be a hard-won opportunity, Lu Guangyin brought someone over almost immediately.
But it's a pity
"It may be an excuse to hide their identity. Of course they are not from Mengyue Territory."
Lu Guangyin, who was stared at by several eyes, shook his head.
He stood there, but his body was more stooped than before, and his original sharp eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes as if they were soaked in exhaustion and suffering.
His face had long lost its former rosiness and luster, replaced by darkness and vicissitudes of life.
The originally neat hair, even after hurriedly combing it, still looks as messy as chicken feathers. You can even see a few large strands of white hair hidden in it, which was completely absent in the past.
Recalling that more than half a month ago, Lu Guangyin was still a majestic lord with more than 100,000 men under his command, and he was always surrounded by a group of loyal cronies.
At that time, he was so high-spirited that he seemed to have the whole world under his control.
But now, standing among the crowd, although Lu Guangyin is still trying to maintain that dignity, anyone with a discerning eye can see that his confidence is seriously lacking.
"We'll talk about it when we get back!" Lu Guangyin pondered for a moment and took the lead to walk to the small courtyard where he was stationed these days.
What is certain is that the other party has absolutely nothing to do with Mengyue Territory.
Even if they are newcomers who have joined these days, that iron boat cannot be made by Mengyue Territory.
But why would the other party use the Mengyue territory to hide their identity?
Lu Guangyin's mind was a little confused. He lowered his head to think and didn't figure it out until he entered the small courtyard.
After a while, the people sent to other places to inquire about the news returned one after another.
Especially when going to the pier, I would chirp excitedly as soon as I closed the door.
"Boss, that iron boat is so majestic. Damn it, it's over ten to twenty meters long!"
"There are so many people around to look at it, but it's a pity that we are not allowed to go over and touch it and take a look."
"There are also weapons and cannons. They actually put a cannon on the ship!"
"What kind of cannon? It's called a naval gun, but it doesn't seem to have a large caliber. It has mostly deterrent properties."
"There are also shooting holes on the boat. This group of people is so fierce. You can tell at a glance that they are coming from a large gathering place."
"I don't know which gathering place it is, I haven't found out where they came from, and there's no flag on the boat."
""
For this kind of vehicle that is almost invincible on the water, a group of people's faces turned red with excitement.
They originally planned to find such a large gathering place to live, and the gathering place with this iron boat is obviously the best target now.
After all, the opponent may not be able to capture just this iron ship, nor even all the wooden ships dispatched by the entire Mine Island Alliance.
The strength gap between the two sides is obvious, and many survivors who had previously planned to settle here may also be tempted.
"By the way, boss, have you found out which territory they are from?"
"I didn't expect that our southern Fire Territory plate has such a territory. I thought it was surrounded by small territories."
"Hey, join them, I also want to get on the ship and show off."
"Shut up!" A group of people were chattering incessantly. Lu Guangyin rubbed his temples with a headache and rarely uttered a curse word.
"Damn it, you ask me where I am, am I going to tell you that this group of people are from the Mengyue Territory?"
"ah?"
At first, everyone thought Lu Guangyin was angry and cursed casually.
But soon after someone explained it, the people who were talking just now looked at each other in shock, and immediately became shocked.
"Ah? Are they from our territory? No way?"
"Really or not, when will we be able to build iron boats in Mengyue Territory? No, we haven't even built a workshop for smelting iron ore, haven't we?"
"Is it true or false? Do you know it every day? Just ask, if someone says that he is from Mengyue Territory, is it important whether it is true or false?"
"Why are you scolding me? Aren't I curious? If they are really from our territory, maybe we can go back."
"You're looking for death. You threw yourself on the street. Have you forgotten that you escaped? Do you want to die when you go back?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Seeing the possibility of another fight in the yard, Lu Guangyin had no choice but to stand up and wave his hands downward to calm down the atmosphere.
"We've already come out, so don't talk about going back. We're not at the point where we can't survive yet."
"And since this group of people uses the name of our Mengyue Territory instead of the name of their own territory, it means that the goal of their trip must not be a simple ore transaction. I am afraid they have other plans." Lu Guangyin secretly guessed
, I actually thought of a possibility just now.
"Lao Xu, do you think there is a possibility that they are actually..."
Facing an older middle-aged man next to him, Lu Guangyin made a circle with his right hand and inserted his left index finger through it.
Then he pointed at the ground and used his mouth to nudge the direction of the exit from Mine Island.
