Chapter 128 Visiting the Wasteland King

"Oh my god, what is this? This is so delicious!"

Beside the fire, a soldier of the 5th City Guard Army took a big bite of the hot sweet potato. The soft and sweet taste made him show an expression of enjoyment.

"What else could it be? Sweet potato!" Zhang Yang said vaguely, chewing a big mouthful of sweet potato.

swish swish——

The sound of feet stepping on the snow reached the ears of the soldiers who were eating sweet potatoes around the fire. They looked around and saw Luo Ren walking over.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yang immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Sir Luo, why are you here?"

"Your city lord fell asleep drunk, and I was bored. Didn't I just smell the sweet potato and come here."

Luo Ren walked to the fire. Seeing this, one person moved to the side to make room. Luo Ren squatted down, casually picked up a wooden stick and dug out a ripe sweet potato from the fire. He dropped the sweet potato on the snow. Roll it inside to cool down, then pick it up and peel off the charred skin to reveal the browned sweet potato flesh, exuding an attractive aroma.

Take a big bite and have endless aftertaste. These are sweet potatoes grown by the residents of the base. They use organic fertilizers and are absolutely natural.

Zhang Yang squatted down next to Luo Ren and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect you to be so easy-going, Chief Luo Ren. I thought you were a very serious person before, and I didn't dare to talk to you in the car."

"Hahaha……"

Luo Ren also laughed and said: "Be serious when you need to be serious, relax when you need to be relaxed, just keep your heart."

After saying that, he took another big bite of sweet potato and praised: "It tastes so f*cking delicious!"

Zhang Yang observed the surrounding situation with a stern look, then moved closer to Luo Ren and asked curiously: "Sir Luo, what is your relationship with our city lord?"

Luo Ren glanced at him and said, "You are a grown man, why are you gossiping?"

Then he saw the dozen or so people surrounding the fire, all with gossipy faces. Putting down the sweet potato that was handed to his mouth, Luo Ren said helplessly: "We are just ordinary friends, not as dirty as you think."

"Ahem——"

Suddenly there were several coughs behind him, and Luo Ren said: "Please keep warm in the winter. Does this brother have a cold?"

Looking back, what I saw was not a soldier, but Liu Lianxin.

Liu Lianxin's arrival caused the soldiers present to immediately stand up and respectfully shout in unison: "Your Majesty the City Lord."

Liu Lianxin nodded slightly, waved her hand, and said: "You go and perform your mission.

Zhang Yang stayed. "

As the other soldiers left, Zhang Yang looked at Liu Lianxin suspiciously, wondering why he wanted to stay by himself.

Liu Lianxin said: "Zhang Yang, you have done a good job in delivering the letter. I promised you to promote you to platoon leader, and now you are."

Zhang Yang was greatly surprised and said: "Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

Liu Lianxin said: "Okay, let's get on with it."

Zhang Yang left, leaving only Liu Lianxin standing and Luo Ren squatting with half a sweet potato in his hand and some black carbon ash around his mouth.

Liu Lianxin slowly squatted down next to Luo Ren. Her posture was slow and elegant. Unlike Luo Ren, she spread her legs and put her hands on her knees, looking like an energetic young man.

"You're awake," Luo Ren said.

Liu Lianxin nodded, looked at Luo Ren with a smile in her eyes, and said, "I thought you left without saying goodbye, but it turns out you are here."

Luo Ren laughed and said, "I still have something to tell you. How could I leave without saying goodbye?"

"Oh?" Liu Lianxin asked curiously: "Didn't we finish talking about it at the reception banquet before? Why is there still something else?"

"There are endless things to say. Just like the snowflakes falling from the sky, they will melt in the spring and come back in the winter solstice." Turning to the topic, Luo Ren said: "I heard you say before that the four cities are independent of each other. There was a huge risk of rebellion, but after thinking about it, I came up with a solution.”

"Really!" Liu Lianxin said in surprise: "Brother Ren, you have a way to prevent the rebellion in the four cities!"

Luo Ren nodded and said, "That's right.

However, you can't make the decision in this way, you still need your father's consent. "

Liu Lianxin said: "Brother Ren, please tell me your method first, and I will analyze for you whether my father will agree with it."

"That's no problem." Luo Ren said, "But before I say anything, I have to ask you a few questions."

Liu Lianxin said without hesitation: "As long as I know."

"Okay." Luo Ren asked immediately: "As far as I know, your father's Kingdom Army can defeat any city, and what I want to know is how strong the Kingdom Army's combat effectiveness is."

Liu Lianxin said without hesitation: "The Royal Army is a professional soldier with extremely powerful combat power. It can be said that it can crush any city of Sanctuary City No. 3 and No. 4. However, it is a little difficult for Sanctuary City No. 1 and No. 2, but it can still be defeated. .

If Sanctuary City Nos. 1 and 2 join forces, there is a high chance of a tragic victory. But if Sanctuary City Nos. 3 and 4 are added to it, it will be a 50-50 split. But there is still the strength of Sanctuary City No. 5. In this way, the four If the city rebels, there is a high probability that our side will win. This is why the four shelter cities have not dared to join forces to rebel. "

"It seems that the strength of the Royal Army is still very strong, and combined with your No. 5 Sanctuary City, it is enough to suppress the four cities. However, this is on the premise of ensuring stability.

But everything is not always stable, there are always variables.

When this change comes, either the royal army will completely conquer the four cities, or the four cities will rebel, and the Wasteland Kingdom will collapse from within. "After a pause, Luo Ren continued: "At this time, a variable has come, and it is still a variable that is beneficial to the Wang Guojun. "

Under Liu Lianxin's gaze, Luo Ren drew two large circles and four small circles on the ground, and explained: "Of these two large circles, one of them is Wang Guojun and your No. 5 Sanctuary City, which is your father and daughter. power.

And this other big circle is the other big force, and these four small circles are the four shelter cities. "

Luo Ren used a short wooden stick with one end burned into black charcoal to draw another circle. This circle included four small circles, forming a circle as big as the two large circles. He pointed at it and said: " This is the power after the union of the four cities.

How to defeat them? "As he said, he drew a line to connect the two large circles, "The two major forces can defeat the Four Cities Alliance by joining forces, and the other major force is me, which is the base. "

Liu Lianxin understood. What Luo Ren meant was that her father and daughter would join forces with the base to destroy the four shelter cities once and for all. But why did Luo Ren help them, and what was the purpose of helping them? Was it just because of himself? Knowing him well, this was obviously wrong.

So she asked: "It is indeed a good idea, but brother Ren, why do you want to help us?"

Luo Ren smiled softly, stretched out two fingers, and said: "After the goal is achieved, I want two cities for the population and resources of the four cities."

Liu Lian was shocked: "Twenty percent?!"

Luo Ren nodded and said, "Yes, two cities."

"What!?" Liu Lianxin was even more shocked. She suddenly stood up, thinking she heard wrongly, and asked: "You want the population and resources of two cities?!"

"That's right." Luo Ren said with certainty.

Although Liu Lianxin fell in love with Luo Ren, the population and resources of the two cities were too much. She didn't know if her father would agree. The population and resources of the two cities, what kind of numbers were they!

But then I thought about it, if I didn't join forces with Luo Ren, I couldn't completely eradicate the risk of rebellion in the four cities. I don't know who gained and who lost in such a transaction.

After a long time, Liu Lian calmed down her fear, took a deep breath, and said, "I really can't make the decision on this matter. I don't know if my father can agree to it."

Luo Ren smiled and said: "We will know if we agree to talk to your father face to face. I believe he will agree when he learns the pros and cons."

"What does Brother Ren mean?" Liu Lianxin asked.

Luo Ren stood up and said, "Take me to see your father, and I will talk to him face to face."

Liu Lian thought over and over again and felt that she could not give up this opportunity to completely eradicate the risk of the "Four Cities Rebellion". She immediately nodded heavily and said: "Okay, I will take you there."

Luo Ren said: "Then you wait until I return to the base so that I can bring some proof to your father. Otherwise, why would he believe that I have the strength to join forces with him to deal with the Four Cities?"

"That's true. I wonder what proof you have, Brother Ren?" Liu Lianxin asked.

Luo Ren smiled mysteriously and said, "Just bring a few people with you."

Liu Lianxin thought about it for a while and said: "I will return to the base with you. Then we can just start from the base directly, and we won't have to run around."

"Okay." Luo Ren nodded in agreement.

…

Liu Lianxin summoned all the officers and gave some instructions, then she and Luo Ren drove out of the city and headed towards the base.

In the car, Luo Ren was driving the vehicle and Liu Lianxin was sitting in the passenger seat. She looked out the window at the white snow and casually said, "Did Brother Ren name the base?"

Luo Ren replied: "No, to be precise, the base does not have a name yet, it is just used as a title."

Liu Lianxin turned around and looked at Luo Ren and said: "I think we should give a name, a meaningful name. After all, the word base is a general word, a military base, a planting base... It's not like a city or a force. name.”

Luo Ren said in agreement: "You are right. When I have time, I will hold a meeting to determine a name for the base."

...A journey of fifty or sixty kilometers, with a single car, would normally take about two hours. But now in the snow and ice, the roads are slippery, and driving too fast can easily lead to accidents, so we drove for three hours. Arrive at base.

When Liu Lianxin came to the base for the first time, when she saw the tall, solid concrete walls, even though she was the lord of a city, the daughter of the Wasteland Kingdom couldn't help but be shocked.

The city gate opened and Luo Ren drove into the base city and went straight to the mobile base.

When Liu Lianxin saw the mobile base made entirely of pure steel, it looked like a building in a science fiction movie and she couldn't help but be shocked again.

The news of Luo Ren's return to the city quickly spread throughout the entire escort army, and Su Antong rushed to the mobile base immediately. However, when she saw Liu Lianxin, her face immediately darkened.

Liu Lianxin greeted her with a smile and said, "Sister An Tong, long time no see."

"Who are you calling girl? If you want to come, I have to be big too!"

When these words came out of Su Antong's mouth, Luo Ren was shocked. Luo Shan, Luo Hai and the others who had just arrived also raised the corners of their mouths, looking like they were watching a show.

Liu Lianxin was speechless and didn't know what to say. She just said hello, but she got this sentence in exchange.

Su Antong also realized that she was losing her composure, and quickly made an excuse, saying, "I mean, I'm not too young. You can't call me sister, just call me Antong."

Liu Lianxin immediately reacted, laughed, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, I didn't consider it. We are the same age, so I will call you An Tong, and you will call me Lianxin."

Luo Ren also chimed in: "Come on, come on, everyone, come in quickly, it's very cold outside."

Everyone entered the mobile base. Luo Ren looked at Luoshan Luohai and the others and said, "Luoshan Luohai and Luo Jiluoli, you four are the highest-ranking among the escorts. I will leave the base for a few days to go to the Wasteland Kingdom and the Wasteland." The Lord of the Earth Kingdom will discuss some matters, and the four of you will be responsible for guarding the base.

Luo Wu, Luo Lu, you two are coming with me. "Then he looked at Su Antong, "As for Antong, you are the captain of the Tianxing Army..."

"I'm going with you."

Su Antong looked determined, as if there was no room for persuasion. She had just heard Luo Ren say that he was going to the Wasteland Kingdom. For such a dangerous thing, she knew that she could not persuade Luo Ren not to go, so she could only go with him.

Luo Ren said: "But An Tong, you are the captain of Tianxing Army, you still have to..."

Before Luo Ren finished speaking, Su Antong rushed to say, "It's easy. I'll just let Qi Jun manage it for a few days."

"Qi Jun..." Luo Ren touched his chin, thought for a while, and finally nodded, saying: "Qi Jun is a trustworthy person, so that's okay, then you will go with me."

Su Antong said happily: "Yes!"

Luo Ren said: "It's getting late today. Let's all go back and have a good rest. Remember Luo Wu and Luo Lu to meet in front of the mobile base tomorrow."

"Yes!" Luo Wu and Luo Wu responded.

Everyone else returned to their residences, but Liu Lianxin and Su Antong did not leave. Liu Lianxin was not from the base. Naturally, Luo Ren had not arranged a place for them to leave. Why did Su Antong not leave? You could tell by the look in her eyes. They are monitoring this "dog man and woman" and cannot let them get along alone. After all, a man and a woman alone are prone to do some outrageous things.

Luo Ren thought that it was just right for Su Antong to stay, so that he would not have to arrange a place for Liu Lianxin. He immediately said to Su Antong, "Antong, take Lianxin to the nunnery and let Master Mingxin arrange a private room."

Mingxin is the old nun's Buddhist name. This was spread by the residents of the base who burned incense and worshiped Buddha, otherwise Luo Ren would never know about it.

He then said to Liu Lianxin: "I'm sorry Lianxin, the base houses are not very sufficient, so I can only wrong you."

Liu Lianxin smiled and shook her head, saying: "I'm not wronged."

"Let's go." Su Antong was very unhappy when she saw the two talking and laughing. She immediately pulled Liu Lianxin and walked out of the mobile base in the direction of the nunnery regardless of whether she agreed or not.
