Chapter 19 Conspiracy
Du Yu knew Gao Derong's plan, but deliberately pretended to be confused and ate a breakfast voraciously.
Gao Derong then ordered the maid to submit another one.
It was not until Du Yu finished eating again that he twisted his gray beard and asked with a smile: "Xiao Yu, do you think the bandits from Fengtouling will come back?"
"Yes!" Du Yu replied with great certainty.
"Oh, tell me, tell me the reason." Mr. Gao seemed very interested.
"Okay!" Du Yu thought for a moment and said:
"At Fengtouling, Jiang Jun, the second leader, was scheming and ambitious, and never dealt with the forces led by the great leader, Shan Bao and the third leader, Lei Meng. This is an open secret in the village, and the two men also had many conflicts and frictions on weekdays.
"Now, Shanbao, Lei Feng is dead, Jiang Jun will never waste this opportunity to take the opportunity to annex. However, if the counterfeits are defeated again, if there is another internal battle, even if the group does not disband, their strength will be greatly damaged. This is definitely not what Jiang Jun is willing to see.
"So, how to calmly conquer the subordinates of Shanbao and Lei Meng's side without raising civil strife and settle down in the throne of the great master, this is the first issue he needs to consider.
"The most convenient and feasible method among them is to put forward the slogan of revenge for the mountain leopard and destroy Shibi Village to increase prestige and win people's hearts."
This in-depth and easy-to-understand analysis shocked Gao Derong.
It seems that if a tree is moved to death, a person is moved to life, it is true and even a famous saying. If it weren't for the forced departure of the village, how could a young farmer have such insight?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at his son.
Gao Zhan went out for a longer time, but unfortunately he did not have the pressure to survive. I am afraid that except for the advancement in martial arts, the other aspects of gains are not as good as that of Du Yu.
Gao Zhan mistakenly thought that his father asked him to speak, so he said carelessly: "What are you afraid of? If we can defeat them the first time, we can defeat them the second time! Besides, even the first-level warrior Shan Bao is dead, I don't believe how many courage they have to come again!"
Du Yu shook his head and said, "This time we were able to defeat the bandits. First, they were caught off guard because they underestimated the enemy; second, they didn't know that I had a rifle with a power in my hand and a range that was far superior to that of ordinary muskets.
"You think, if the bandits knew all this, they rushed forward and attacked from all sides, could they defend themselves by relying on us?
"As the saying goes, one's mistake will lead to wisdom. Although Jiang Jun is not good at bravery, he is a good player in using conspiracies and tricks. With his IQ, as long as he asks about the battle process in detail, he will soon react. I guess that under Jiang Jun's instigation, the bandits from Fengtouling will return in less than three or five days."
Gao Derong nodded, waved his hand to stop his son who wanted to say something else, and turned to Gao Yuan and ordered: "In the past few days, you will arrange for the servants to monitor the movements of Fengtouling day and night! If the bandits come to attack, I don't ask you to resist, but at least you must have a warning in advance and gain a few more hours of preparation for the village."
"Yes!" Gao Yuan solemnly accepted the order.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Derong pointed to the rifle on Du Yu's right hand with a smile and asked, "Is it convenient to tell me where this gun comes from?"
After going around such a big circle, I finally got to the point!
The so-called topic of whether bandits will come back is probably only equivalent to unnutritious greetings like "the weather is hahaha today".
Du Yu believed that no matter whether he said the bandits would come again, it would not affect Gao Derong's sending his subordinates to monitor the movements in Fengtouling. He actually ruled Shibi Village for most of his life, so he still had this caution. Soliciting his own opinions was just to find a starting point for the purpose of making a gun.
It's not difficult to understand if you think about it.
The rifle in his hand is the standard configuration of the new army of the Changhe Empire and has never been sold to local forces publicly.
Although snakes have snake paths and rats have rat paths, in this chaotic era, there are many people who have been connected with the great powers, and they can get some through specific channels. However, they are limited to those large warlords and large forces, and the number is very limited, and they are basically only worthy of elite troops in the direct line.
Mr. Gao is just a rich man in a village and cannot even get to the eyes of the great powers, so naturally he cannot have such a channel.
However, this did not prevent his desire for advanced rifles!
After all, in a chaotic world, even if you don’t have the ambition to compete for the world, do you still have the intention to protect your own lives and property? Who doesn’t want to try to improve your controllable strength? Spending a lot of money to send your son to learn martial arts is the purpose, and buying advanced rifles for his subordinates and enhancing their armed forces is also the purpose!
"It's Chen Sangou's private collection." Du Yu pretended to be scheming, and his right hand comfortably moused the butt, squinted his eyes, and showed off proudly: "To be honest, out of curiosity, before killing him, I even forced him to confess and asked about the purchase channels of this kind of gun!
"Really?" Gao Xiuran asked Gao Derong about his curiosity, "Hurry up and talk!"
"According to that guy, this gun was smuggled from the Nanzhan Kingdom. Under my torture, he also told me the specific purchasing location and the code of the joint." After boasting a few words, Du Yu scratched his scalp with great distress and said, "But, the place is really far away and the price is a bit too high..."
The reason for the story of the Nanzhan Kingdom is that from a geographical perspective, Shibi Village is located in the southeastern border of the Changhe Empire, adjacent to the western grasslands of the Mengba Empire in the east, and the border to the north of the Nanzhan Kingdom in the south. The closest town to it is not the Minxu Town of the Changhe Empire, but the Wutong Town of the Nanzhan Empire.
Today, the Nanzhan Kingdom has completely become a colony.
Overseas powers, regardless of their large and small countries, divide their spheres of influence there and support their agents, resulting in warlords fighting, bandits rampant, chaotic situations, and rampant smuggling.
There is a rather exaggerated saying that if a gangster is picked up on the streets of the Nanzhan Kingdom, a gangster can be pulled out behind him; if a gangster is hit, a warlord can be jumped out behind him; any warlord stands behind him! Psychological information, smuggling goods, collecting antiques, and offering beauties. Anyway, many powerful people are not convenient for them to come forward and are unwilling to do tiring and dirty work in person. These gangsters, gangsters, and warlords do very smoothly.
Du Yu carried them out because it was more credible.
