After a short period of rectification, no other strangers were found in the death camp.
Qin Feng was worried, so he turned on the light screen and checked, and found that no creatures hostile to him were found. Only then did the soldiers in the camp return to normal.
At this moment, a general guard reported at the door: "Captain, Dennis is here."
"Yeah, I got it."
Qin Feng shook his head, smiled and murmured: "What a coincidence."
"Let him in."
In less than a minute, a figure opened the door curtain and rushed in. Suddenly he saw Qin Feng sitting on a chair making tea.
The person who came was none other than Dennis. When he saw Qin Feng's unhurried look, he was stunned for a second.
As if infected by the atmosphere, Dennis changed his impatience and straightened his clothes that were a little messy from running.
"Master Governor, are you really leisurely?" Dennis saluted.
"No one has paid attention to it until today. Do you want a drink?" Qin Feng smiled and pointed to the tea on the table, "The best Guanyin, our specialty."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Dennis sat opposite Qin Feng.
Qin Feng poured him a cup of tea, and the latter sipped it carefully, then sipped it in small sips, his face gradually changing from confusion to surprise.
"It tastes really good." The remaining anxiety on Dennis's face completely disappeared, and he was completely immersed in the wonderful tea.
"If you like it, drink a few more cups." Qin Feng poured him another cup, and then poured a cup for himself. The two of them picked up the tea and tasted it slowly.
For a while, the only sound in the camp was the sipping of tea.
Seeing that Qin Feng didn't mention the alliance for a long time, Dennis knew that if he didn't talk about it, the day would pass again.
So he put down his teacup, put on a smile and said, "Master Governor, are you satisfied with being stationed here?"
"I'm very satisfied, very satisfied. The scenery here is unique, peaceful and quiet. A few assassins come here occasionally to relieve boredom." Qin Feng said casually.
"Assassin?" Dennis' hand shook, and the teacup in his hand was about to fall, but he was holding it tightly the next second.
At this moment, his mind recalled the scene when he entered the camp just now, and a group of soldiers carried the body and walked out of the camp.
Originally, he was still thinking about the reasons for their deaths. It might be caused by acclimatization and illness, it might be that Qin Feng had a bad temper and he vented his anger on the killer, or it might be caused by fights in the army due to lack of food.
But he never thought that it was because of the assassins. This was a provocation to the defense system of Shell State Island. If it succeeded, it would completely slap Shell State Island in the face. Who would dare to form an alliance with them in the future.
"Master Governor, please rest assured that we will investigate carefully. Your safety will be left to us in the coming days." Dennis responded confidently.
Qin Feng raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at him, "There's nothing more to come. I'm going back. I see that you have no intention of forming an alliance with us. You actually made me wait here for nearly twenty days."
"Lord Governor, this all happened for a reason."
Dennis seemed to have something in mind, so he opened his mouth and said: "General Wood has been handling military affairs, and he only returned today."
"No, as soon as General Wood comes back, he asked me to pick you up."
"You're the only one coming to pick me up?" Qin Feng showed a surprised expression, but he kept complaining in his heart.
I am so unimportant when I only send you here. If it weren't for the vast market of Shell State Island, I would have to break camp and go back now.
Facing the newly emerging villages and the cities that may grow, the alliance on Shell Island no longer means much to Qin Feng.
He can definitely trade with Biam, which is enough to upgrade other Ming cities. When his military strength becomes stronger, he can in turn trade with the Republic of Tas.
However, if the alliance cooperation can continue, it will make the development of Ming City even faster. If it can be accelerated, why not?
"Master Governor, due to the emergency on the front line, most of the people are not here, so I can only let me come to pick you up temporarily. When you arrive in Robe City, I guarantee that there will be a grand banquet to welcome you." Dennis quickly comforted Qin Feng.
, to prevent him from really leaving in a fit of anger.
At the same time, he was also dissatisfied with the current upper-class figures. It was obvious that they asked him to form an alliance with Qin Feng at all costs, but now they actually asked to bring Qin Feng to meet him, which made his face full of embarrassment.
"I have to bring my guards in, otherwise it will make me feel insecure." Qin Feng put down his tea cup and tried.
Qin Feng was a little uncomfortable entering an unfamiliar city alone. Coupled with the assassination just now, there was no need for him to lose his life just to save face. This was not cost-effective.
"This?...How many people should we bring?" Dennis asked cautiously.
"Not many, 80 people." Qin Feng replied.
"Not much... not much..." Dennis suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Then Lord Governor, it's getting late now, let's go to Robei City, Admiral Wood and the others are still waiting for us."
Qin Feng raised his head and closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds...
Should you go or not? There will definitely be no good party here. If you don’t go, they will definitely not be so easy to talk to next time...
...But now that we are here, we have to go on a journey, and we can’t let the Ming army lose its reputation...
Qin Feng immediately opened his eyes, faced Dennis's hopeful eyes, smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."
Then a group of people rode their war horses and galloped towards Robei City.
At the city gate, Dennis discussed with the city gate officer for a long time and finally agreed to let the generals behind Qin Feng enter the city.
Walking along the Central Avenue, what Qin Feng saw was the phenomenon of depression.
There were only a few pedestrians on the road, and the few that appeared occasionally looked hurried and walked quickly.
Most of the shops on both sides of the road were closed, and the few shops that were open were making do, and no customers were seen entering for a long time.
You know it's already daytime. If it's night, wouldn't this place be quieter than ghosts?
...Has the war reached this level? Has all the foundation been drained away...
Qin Feng sat on his horse and meditated, thinking about how long Shellzhou Island could withstand the war.
...If it continues like this, it may collapse in a year, but if I provide more products to them as agents, they can survive for at least two more years...
The group of people arrived at the hotel and first arranged the accommodation for the generals and guards. Then Qin Feng and Dennis came to the door of the city lord's mansion.
"Qiang..."
The guard guarding the door crossed two halberds together. One guard stared at Qin Feng and said: "You are not allowed to enter the city lord's mansion with weapons."
Dennis looked at Qin Feng in embarrassment, "Master Governor, this weapon..."
Without saying a word, Qin Feng took out the Qi family sword from his waist and put it together with the bow and arrow in the guard's hand, "Take it and keep it for me. If it is lost or broken, I will take it from you."
The guard held Qin Feng's knife and bow and arrow in his arms without looking sideways, without saying yes or no.
Follow Dennis through the rockery and lotus pond, and arrive at a simple hall.
The city wall columns made of white marble hold up the V-shaped roof one by one, making the whole look very solemn.
The hall seemed very empty and could accommodate at least two hundred people without feeling crowded.
A giant red carpet was spread on the ground, leading directly to the foot of the city lord's throne inside. There were gorgeous patterns drawn on it that Qin Feng didn't recognize.
On both sides of the giant carpet, there are two long oval tables, covered with a white tablecloth. There is nothing on them at the moment, and there are no chairs next to them.
Looking up, Qin Feng only saw five figures waiting for him in the hall.
Sitting on the throne of the city lord is a handsome middle-aged man. He is wearing the ordinary blue military uniform of Shell State Island and a blue captain's hat. What is drawn on it is an open shell with two scimitars crossed on it.
.
There were two people standing on his left, one was Betty, the lord of Zhubei City whom Qin Feng had met, and the other was a young man with blond hair and golden eyes wearing light scale armor and a blue cloak.
On the right hand side of the city lord, there is a bearded man wearing thick scales and a blue cloak behind him. Another middle-aged man wearing a noble and cumbersome costume always has a smile on his face.
Moreover, none of the five people were wearing any weapons, which made Qin Feng feel a little more relaxed.
Qin Feng followed Dennis to the front of the throne, looked at the man sitting on the throne, put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly to salute: "Qin from the Kingdom of Paya has met General Wood and everyone."
Since Wood led Shell Island to independence, he often likes to call himself a general. This is just like some people's preferences. Some people like to call themselves His Majesty and King, while others don't like it. For example, Qin Feng, he also only likes to be called Governor.
.
But no matter how he is called, his authority and status on Shell Island cannot be denied. He is the real number one.
General Wood scanned Qin Feng up and down, smiled and replied in a magnetic voice: "I'm so glad you can come."
"I've been really busy these days, so I took the time to come back and meet you."
"You really don't want to be my subordinate?"
Admiral Wood leaned forward, and the pressure of a master-level power suddenly enveloped Qin Feng's head.
But Qin Feng still smiled and shook his head firmly, "I'm used to freedom and don't like restrictions. Let's talk about the alliance."
Wood did not speak, lowered his head slightly, raised his right hand and touched a wisp of mustache on his chin.
"What if we insist on your promise?"
Betty next to her suddenly spoke, her tone full of aggression.
"Then I can only agree." Qin Feng replied with a smile.
The tense expressions on several people's faces softened somewhat, but Qin Feng's next reply completely angered them, "I'll just find the right time to leave you after a while."
"You, ungrateful thing." Betty shouted softly.
Qin Feng shook his head, his smile not diminishing, "You didn't convince me, so you forced me to be yours. What qualifications do you have to make me grateful?"
"You..." Betty pointed at Qin Feng, "If you don't agree, will you be able to leave today?"
Qin Feng turned to look at Admiral Wood, but he still had no intention of making a sound. He touched the hand on his chin beard, and then touched the down on his lips. At this moment, he was watching with interest, as if watching a drama.
