Lord of Puro

Chapter 541 War
Li Banfeng asked first: "Luo Lijun is using the new land to exchange for a guarantee from Purozhou. Are there many people in your clan who disagree?"

Luo Yanjun said: "No matter what my sister said, there were some things she agreed to and some things she didn't agree to. There were some things even my mother felt she couldn't agree to."

The current situation in Nevada is complicated.

Luo Lijun overcame all objections and reached a peace agreement with Li Banfeng. This went against the wishes of many people, even her own family.

This is why Luo Lijun was replaced.

Li Banfeng asked again: "Did Neizhou send you to replace Luo Lijun because they want to go to war with Waizhou?"

Luo Yanjun said: "To start a war means to fight, right? There are many people in the upper clan who love fighting and always talk about fighting. They say that the revenge of the other states must be avenged, otherwise it would be unfair to their ancestors.

But there are also those who don't want to fight. My sister doesn't want to fight. She said it's not that she won't take revenge, but the time has not come yet. There's nothing wrong with everyone having a few days of peace.
Those who like fighting and those who don’t, all think they are right and no one will give in to the other. My father didn’t like fighting at first, and he ended up dying in prison.”

The state is divided into two factions: those who advocate war and those who advocate peace. Currently, the faction that advocates war has the upper hand, and Luo Lijun is likely to face the same situation as her father.

"When did the inner state and the outer state become enemies?"

"I don't know about that. I wasn't even here at that time. I heard from the older generation that people from other states are all ungrateful, especially the older generation who just came back recently.
This is a person of the older generation. He said that if they keep giving in to the outside states, in the end there will be nothing left. Actually, if we look at the facts, Yu Songkai still has some bones left. "

Ma Wu explained: "Yu Songkai is the gatekeeper from before, the one who turned into a crucian carp bone."

Yes, bones are left, but that’s all there is.

Li Banfeng asked: "Who is this older generation of people?"

"I don't know about that. This person has a very bad temper. You can't even mention his name."

He has a bad temper and cannot be named.

Li Banfeng asked: "This old man should not be from your tribe, right?"

Luo Yanjun thought about it seriously: "If you are talking about blood, he is definitely not from our tribe. He looks different from us.

But if you want to talk about respect and inferiority, he is also of noble status, and our tribesmen must also pay respect to him when they see him."

Li Banfeng knew who this person was.

The saint at Shengxian Peak.

The saint did have a bad temper, and according to his rules, his name had to be avoided and not mentioned.

After the lair of the saint was destroyed by Dao Laogui, his whereabouts became unknown. It turned out that he went to Neizhou.

Chu Shaoqiang once said that the saint was the last emperor of the previous dynasty, because he lost the war and lost his country.

His kingdom was divided into two parts, one part was controlled by the royal family and became today's Neizhou, and the other part is today's Prozhou.

Unable to endure the oppression of the royal family, the saint left Neizhou and temporarily lived in Shengxian Peak. Now that Shengxian Peak is gone, he can only return to Neizhou.

Although he was not the actual ruler of Neizhou, it can be inferred from Luo Yanjun's words that the words of this saint still carried weight. It was precisely because he went to Neizhou that the pro-war faction gained the upper hand again.

Ma Wu asked, "Are you planning to start a war with the outside states at the Soda Kiln?"

This matter is very critical. If a war breaks out at the soda kiln, it means that Feng Daiku's painstaking efforts may be turned into ruins at any time.

If the war expands, the entire Pro State may be reduced to ruins.

Luo Yanjun shook her huge body and turned her face towards the pool at the end of the factory building: "My sister is gone, but you still insisted on asking me to come here. What's so good about this place?
The court kept telling me to keep you guys steady, but I didn’t know what steady meant, and I didn’t know if you were steady or not. I just felt that Ma Junyang was not very steady and couldn’t stop for even a moment. ”

These words are a bit abstract and require some effort to understand.

Luo Lijun has been arrested because she advocated peace, but Neizhou sent her twin sister Luo Yanjun to stabilize the situation.

This proves that Neizhou does not want to break up with Prozhou, and it also proves that Neizhou is unlikely to go to war with Prozhou.

Li Banfeng said: "Province of China's attitude is very important to Neizhou. This proves that your sister's life will not be in danger in the short term."

Luo Yanjun sighed: "I don't know if there is any danger. I am her sister, that's true, but we have 28 brothers and sisters in total.

I really want her to live, but I don't have the ability to save her, and I don't know if anyone is willing to save her, let alone if anyone can save her. Ma Junyang said that her feelings are different from mine, and it seems that he still has feelings for his sister.

But no matter what, her feelings are hers and mine are mine. No matter how my sister feels, I must still live my life."

Luo Yanjun is very smart and did the testing step by step very well.

She was right, Luo Lijun was Luo Lijun, and she was her. Although they had a deep sisterly love, and she wanted to do her best to rescue Luo Lijun, the prerequisite for saving her sister was to ensure her own safety.

She first wants to test whether Li Qi has the possibility of rescuing Luo Lijun. If Li Qi cannot distinguish the real Luo Lijun from the fake one, it proves that Li Qi does not attach importance to Luo Lijun. In this case, it is not wise to ask Li Qi for help, because the probability of Li Qi providing help is not high.

In fact, if Li Qi was given some time, he would be able to tell the difference between Luo Yanjun and Luo Lijun, but no one expected that Ma Wu could tell the difference in such an efficient way.

Although she was sure that Li Qi had the possibility to rescue Luo Lijun, Luo Yanjun was still very cautious. She also wanted to test whether Li Qi was willing to rescue Luo Lijun.

Due to taboos, there are some things Luo Yanjun cannot say openly. During the negotiation, she can only explain Luo Lijun's situation relatively tactfully. If Li Qi wants to rescue Luo Lijun, she will continue to negotiate. If Li Qi does not intend to rescue Luo Lijun, the negotiation will end here, and she still has room to retreat safely.

Li Qi saw Luo Yanjun's intention and said directly: "I really want to help your sister, but my help is not free."

Luo Yanjun said: "I am not a very successful person. I just like to buy land. I just bought two plots of land recently. I haven't found a suitable landowner yet, and I don't know when I can send them to Pro Province."

Li Qi and Ma Wu could both understand what was said. This was the price offered by Luo Yanjun: two new plots of land.

She emphasized that she had the means to buy land, which was also to prove her ability to deliver on her remuneration.

Li Qi said: "You know the rules of my land acquisition, right?"

Luo Yanjun said: "It is really hard to find a suitable local god. Instead of wasting time on this, I might as well not look for one and just give them all away.

But the clan is keeping a close eye on me now, even my mother has gotten involved, so unless my sister helps, I can’t give this land away.”

She knew Li Qi's rules that the land she received must have a complete deed.

She told Li Qi that she was in charge of part of the power of the new land, but the timing was not right. Only if her sister was rescued could the two pieces of land be given away.

Ma Wu smiled and said, "You are quite good at negotiating business. You want goods first and payment later."

Luo Yanjun felt very aggrieved: "Why are you talking to me about business? Isn't it all about affection between us?"

Ma Wu said: "If we talk about affection, we have to see what you are thinking. You don't want to fight, right?"

Luo Yanjun shook her head repeatedly and said, "It's not necessarily that I don't want to. I can also fight."

As long as survival can be guaranteed, Luo Yanjun may change her position.

Li Qi said: "If you want me to save your sister, you have to tell me where you plan to start the war. If it is not in Pro Province, then this location must be very special."

Luo Yanjun squirmed and walked back and forth in the factory: "I heard from my great grandfather that the people from other states are the worst. The machines they make are clumsy and useless.
We gave them good machines, and they kept calling us benefactors. But when they became capable, they forgot all the kindness we had shown them, and turned their backs on us. Thinking of these things, the people in the tribe were filled with hatred.
The same is true of Prozhou, none of them are good. Look at the machines in this factory, we sent them here in the beginning, but now that we have new ones, you have forgotten the old ones!"

Were these machines sent from Nevada?
The first steam engines in the state of California appeared in soda kilns.

So the first machines in the state of Provo came from the state of Nevada.

Ma Wu was confused now: "Miss Luo, I know you have your reasons, but you are too erratic in your words. You talk about this and that. When I asked you about the war, you talked about machines again."

"I don't know much about fighting," Luo Yanjun climbed onto a lathe, "I know a little about machines, especially the first batch of machines we brought, they are all good stuff!"

Li Banfeng asked, "Are you talking about the place where the first batch of machines were born?"

Luo Yanjun said: "The first batch of machines from Pro Province are here. The first batch of machines from other states were made by themselves, but we sent the first batch of good machines. I don't remember where we sent them to."

She said she didn't remember, but Li Banfeng remembered.

There was a textile factory that was once a banner in the industrial history of Huan State!
And inside that textile factory, there is a special space, which may be the entrance to Neizhou!

No wonder Li Banfeng always felt that the layout of the surrounding factory buildings was very familiar. The equipment here was crude and exactly the same as that of Ruirong Textile Factory.

Ruirong Textile Factory was built by Nevada.

It is possible that Neizhou will send troops there.

Li Banfeng figured out where the battle would start, and he knew what to do next.

If the inner state catches the outer state off guard in this battle and ultimately wins, the pro-war faction will certainly have an absolute advantage and Luo Lijun will most likely die.

If Neizhou loses the battle, the pro-war faction will inevitably lose power, and Luo Lijun will have a chance to turn the tables.

Li Banfeng said: "I will do my best. After the matter is accomplished, Miss Luo must not break her promise."

Luo Yanjun asked Ma Wu: "My taste is not worse than my sister's, right?"

Ma Wu translated: "Miss Luo is talking about credibility."

……

After returning to the Dark Star Bureau, Li Banfeng made a phone call and called Shen Jingye over.

In the past few days, whenever Shen Jingye heard the news about Li Qi, he couldn't help but get excited: "Director Li, has the ghost of that fighter been caught?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "I caught him and I have dealt with him. You don't have to worry about that."

Shen Jingye was overjoyed: "I'll go and file a report right away!"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Don't rush to write this report. It's not an important matter."

Shen Jingye was stunned and said, "Is this matter not a big deal? Ghosts of this level can bring disaster to Yuezhou."

"Compared with the real disaster, this dead soul is nothing," Li Banfeng said solemnly, "The inner state is going to go to war with the outer state."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingye frowned.

"I told you that this matter is not so easy to resolve," Shen Jingye pulled out a cigarette and took a puff. "Director Li, you have screwed me. I told you at the beginning that this matter should be handed over to Liao Zihui to handle. What should we do now?"

Li Banfeng said: "This matter has nothing to do with Liao Zihui. The issue of the soda kiln has been resolved. Neizhou will not start a war at the soda kiln, nor will they start a war at Pro Province. The place where they started the war is Ruirong Textile Factory."

Shen Jingye was stunned: "How is it possible? How could people from Neizhou bypass Prozhou and reach the textile factory?"

Li Banfeng laughed and said, "Xiao Shen, are you still pretending to be nice to me? Ruirong Textile Factory has had so many problems, but it has not been demolished yet. You should know something about the reasons, right? It is a passage between the inner and outer states. Do you think I really don't know?"

Shen Jingye pursed his lips and said, "I only know a little about this situation, but we can't just rely on speculation. There must be some basis for it, right?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Don't ask what the basis is. Tell the people who can make the decision about what you are going to do now. Hurry up and prepare. Don't let Neizhou be caught off guard."

The incident happened too suddenly, and Shen Jingye was caught off guard: "I just said this without any evidence, how can I report it to my superiors?"

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Then you don't have to report it. Just wait for the war to start. We can watch the show together."

Shen Jingye didn't dare to watch the show, so he returned to the office and quickly contacted Director Du. This time the efficiency was really high, and Director Du gave a reply that afternoon.

Shen Jingye ran to Li Banfeng's office: "Director Du said that he hopes to solve the problem through negotiation as much as possible."

To put it bluntly, they still hope that Li Banfeng can help them find a solution.

Li Banfeng refused on the spot: "I have negotiated everything that needs to be negotiated. This is no longer a problem that can be solved through negotiation. The saint has returned to Neizhou and strongly advocated war. He wants to stop this war. The current priority is to take precautions."

Shen Jingye quickly passed the message back to Director Du. Within two hours, Director Du responded: The matter is of great importance at this time, and we still hope that the Dark Star Bureau can find out the evidence.

Where can Shen Jingye find the evidence?
He had no choice but to look for Li Qi.

But Li Qi was not so easy to find. He had finished get off work long ago and took Tang Changfa, Yan Cui'er and Yan Hong'er to have a barbecue.

The next morning, Li Qi's phone was bombarded with calls. The entire Dark Star Bureau was looking for Li Qi. Li Qi asked Shen Jingye to reply directly that this was information received through a special channel and there was no evidence to support it.

Shen Jingye ran back and forth between the two sides, but no matter what the superiors said, Li Qiquan ignored them. Even when Du Wenming came to him, he was sent back with just one sentence.

After three whole days of going back and forth, the situation in the Dark Star Bureau became increasingly tense, and some information slowly seeped out.

Li Qi remained calm and at night he called Tangyuan, Dengbao and Zhonger to his home for hotpot. Halfway through the meal, Zhonger took out a spiritual object and blocked off the sounds between Li Qi's residence and the outside world.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

This is not Pro Province, spiritual objects and the like should not be taken out casually. Tang Yuan was terrified: "Where did you get this thing from? Did you go through the formalities?"

Zhong Er said with a serious expression: "The formalities have been completed, but Captain Chen has not signed!"

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "You still think you are right? Captain Chen didn't sign, so what kind of formalities are those? You are so bold, why did Shan Xing'er give you the things?"

Shan Xing'er is the administrator responsible for the dark energy carriers commonly used by the security team.

Dengbao said, "Zhu Er agreed to accompany him shopping on the weekend. Shan Xing'er is a very honest girl and has been deceived by Zhong Er several times."

"Let's not talk about this for now," Zhong Er looked at Li Qi, "Director Li, I heard that there's going to be a war?"

Li Banfeng raised his eyebrows: "How did you know?"

Zhong Er didn't answer, and then asked, "Was the battle at the Ruirong Textile Factory?"

Li Banfeng was surprised and asked, "You even know this?"

Tangyuan and Dengbao were also surprised. They had heard about the war, but they knew nothing about Ruirong Textile Factory.

"This is not news I heard, this is my inference," Zhong Er explained, "If Neizhou takes action, I think the most likely place is Ruirong Textile Factory. I always suspect that it is the entrance to Neizhou."

"Tell me how you inferred that?"

Li Banfeng listened carefully to Zhong Er's inference process.

Ever since Li Banfeng asked Zhong Er to investigate Ruirong Textile Factory last time, Zhong Er has been carrying out this task until today and has never stopped.

Li Banfeng believed that within the entire Dark Star Bureau, and even expanding the scope to the upper echelons of the Dark Star Bureau, no one should know Ruirong Textile Factory better than Zhong Er.

He put all the official information and folk rumors together and came to a conclusion: "The Ruirong Textile Factory was established with the help of the state of Nevada.
In terms of technology, this textile mill has remained at the forefront since its construction and for decades afterwards, and at the beginning of the last century, this technology was clearly ahead of its time.”

The conclusion of this second-year student is basically consistent with Luo Yanjun's description.

Tang Yuan listened very carefully: "Is it possible that Neizhou sent people to Yuezhou and provided technical concepts and design plans, which led to the construction of this factory?"

Zhong Er shook his head and said, "I have also come to this conclusion, but later I saw many reports that the extremely high production efficiency of Ruirong Textile Factory has attracted the attention of many experts. During the service period of the equipment, Yuezhou once set up an expert group to conduct special research on the operating mechanism of the equipment.
After the equipment was retired, some experts still tried to replicate the mechanical parts of the equipment, but they all failed because most of the metal materials of this steam equipment were beyond the technical capabilities of the time.
This factory was not built in Yuezhou, because Yuezhou at that time could not even get the materials to build this factory. This factory was moved directly from Neizhou. Through what channels could a complete factory be moved out?

According to my deduction, there is only one possibility, Ruirong Textile Factory is the exit from Neizhou to Yuezhou, which is directly connected to Yuezhou without passing through Purozhou. "

Dengbao ate a piece of mutton and shook his head, saying, "I don't understand. Between Yuezhou and Neizhou, there is a Pro Province. The two sides do not intersect geographically. How could Neizhou bypass Pro Province and find an exit in Yuezhou?"

Zhong Er didn't want to answer this question for the time being: "The structure of Neizhou cannot be measured by the directions and distances we are familiar with. Director Li, if my inference is correct, the most important thing we should do now is to deploy defenses at Ruirong Textile Factory."

Li Banfeng nodded: "You are right. The battle site in Neizhou was at Ruirong Textile Factory. The bureau has received the news and reported it to the higher-ups, who are currently looking for evidence."

Chuunibun didn't understand: "Now that things have come to this, why do we still need to look for evidence? When the enemy really attacks, there will be evidence. Will it be too late to take precautions then?"

Dengbao put the tripe into the pot: "We don't need to worry about this."

"How can I not be worried!" Zhong Er was very nervous. "With our current situation, can we really fight a war? At least in the Dark Star Bureau, I don't see any preparations for war."

Dengbao picked up Maodu and said, "How could you have received the news of the war without being prepared? This is intentional to give us some information so that we can prepare for the war.

So, you have to eat well and drink well during this hot pot. When the fight really starts, do you still want to eat this? It’s good enough to have compressed biscuits! "

Tang Yuan prepared another side dish for Li Banfeng: "Even if a fight really breaks out, it doesn't necessarily require us to join the fight, right?"

Chuunibun couldn't eat any more: "Are we really preparing for a battle? I'm really worried that we will be beaten without any chance to fight back without any preparation in advance."

Light Bulb shook his head and said, "If you say I'm totally unprepared, that's an exaggeration."

Zhong Erdao: "I am not exaggerating. Every day after get off work, I go to Ruirong Textile Factory to take a look. Apart from the few cordons set up before, there is not even a sentry post around the factory. Who would dare to believe that this is going to be a war? I am really afraid that Neizhou will attack. We are still looking for evidence!"

After hearing what Zhong Er said, Tangyuan became a little nervous. The freshly boiled tripe no longer tasted good in his mouth.

Bulb was not nervous. He said while eating: "Some things must be verified all the time, because no one wants to take responsibility.
But for some things, we must be prepared, because there are some responsibilities that no one can bear.
You, go to Prosperity in the future and see how many variables there are every day. Then see how General Liao handles so many variables every day.
We have too many peaceful days here, but there is not a single peaceful day in Provo. If you go there for a few more days, you will understand some things clearly. "

Li Qi smiled when he heard that.

I'm not making fun of the light bulb, because what the light bulb said is indeed right.

After a trip to Provo, he had changed a lot and he could see some things very clearly.

"Don't go to the textile factory during this period. It's really dangerous there." Dengbao reminded Zhong Er again.

Chuuji sighed and said, "If I don't go, there are others who will. The roads around the textile factory have been reopened to traffic a long time ago. I even saw some dark energy enthusiasts running to the textile factory to check in yesterday."

The light bulb frowned and said, "They are courting death, let them go, I am trying to persuade you in a kind way, you have to listen!"

……

After dinner, Zhong Er did not go home. He had no car, so he took the subway to Ruirong Textile Factory.

Maybe what Dengbao said was right, but since the location of the war had been confirmed by Director Li, Zhong Er decided to ask for leave from the bureau from today and he would stay alone near Ruirong Textile Factory.

If a war really breaks out, even if you will die in an instant after the battle starts, as long as you can send a signal before you die, as long as you can buy a moment of preparation time, this life will be worth it.

To protect this world and everything important in it, the idea of ​​Chuunibun has never changed.

At three o'clock in the morning, six young men and women wearing Western robes, carrying magic wands and crystal balls, came to the gate of the textile factory together.

They planned to cross the cordon and hold a mysterious ceremony in the factory.

The content of the ceremony may be for spiritual communication, for prayer, or for receiving guidance from a certain being.

Ever since the textile factory was deregulated, this factory, where supernatural events frequently occurred, has become a check-in spot for dark energy enthusiasts.

The middle school kid who was squatting behind the pile of rocks frowned. He was ready to persuade these dark energy enthusiasts to leave immediately. If they didn't listen, he would beat them!

Just as he was about to walk out of the bushes, Chuuji suddenly felt a tremor under his feet.

poisoned?
Or was he hit by some kind of control technique?
The enemy is attacking?

Chuuji took out the signal gun in his arms. He kept adjusting his center of gravity, trying to keep himself steady before firing.

The six dark energy enthusiasts did not have such good physical fitness. They all fell to the ground and tried to stand up several times, but failed.

Were they also tricked?
wrong.

While adjusting his center of gravity, Chuuji discovered that there was nothing wrong with his body. The reason he felt the ground shaking was because the ground was really shaking violently.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound.

A blue-white band of light covered the ground, making it impossible for Chuuji to open his eyes.

This is... Earthquake Light!

The common-sense middle school student realized that it was an earthquake. He wanted to save the young people at the factory gate, but the shaking of the earth became more and more violent, and every step he took was extremely difficult.

Dust rose up, obscuring Chuuni's vision.

The screams continued, echoing in my ears one after another.

Chuuniburi fell to the ground, and heard the sound of stones colliding with each other.

The stone pile collapsed!
Zhong Er was less than two meters away from the pile of stones. As a fighter on the second floor, he firmly believed that it would not be difficult to save himself.

But when he tried to get up, he found it very difficult. The earthquake was getting more and more severe and he couldn't stand up at all.

In the smoke and dust, he saw the outline of falling stone, which first approached and then moved away.

Someone rescued him and took him away from the pile of rocks.

The earthquake lasted for a full three minutes, but to Chuuji, it felt like three whole years. During the most violent phase of the shaking, Chuuji couldn't even control his breathing.

When the earthquake slowly subsided, Zhong Er raised his head with difficulty and saw the person who rescued him.

"Director..." Zhong Er saw Li Qi, and also saw those dark ability enthusiasts who were seeking death.

Those fans lay on the ground and wailed, not out of pain, but out of fear.

Li Qi took them out of the factory and threw them on the open space across the street. He ignored them and pulled Zhong Er up and quickly moved away from Ruirong Textile Factory.

Chuunib asked, "Was that an earthquake?"

Li Qi said: "It was an earthquake, but not a natural disaster."

"Is that Neizhou attacking? Has the war started?" Zhong Er picked up the signal gun again.

Li Banfeng looked back at the rising clouds of dust and shook his head, saying, "The war is over."

……

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and cracks appeared on the wall of the textile factory, but it did not collapse. This was the result of some kind of control.

In the factory area, hundreds of drones took off into the air, searching for any living enemies.

PS: Out of state, very powerful.
