Chapter 169
Zhuo Yi thought for a long time and nodded helplessly:

"Well, as the sincerity of the first cooperation, our rebel army can make some concessions. In terms of transactions, someone else will contact you after a while."

"As for the information, we also know it by chance. Lord Lin, I am afraid that a large number of predators will come to your place in the near future to fight the autumn wind. Do you really need our help in defense?"

"Don't talk about the defense assistance. Captain Zhuo is talking about predators? I don't know how many they are, where they come from, what weapons and equipment they have, and why they attack us?" Gui Xingchao asked.

Zhuo Yi smiled self-deprecatingly: "Why? It's not that you have too much oil and water, especially food, which is a hard currency. They have been jealous for a long time, but for some reason, they actually gathered together this time. A large number of leaders, we don’t know the specific information, but we just happened to meet them on the road.”

After Gui Xingchao heard this, he looked at Zhuo Yi with an inexplicable look. This meeting might not be as simple as what he said. Maybe they were also part of the group called by the predators at the time, but they just didn't participate.

He bowed his hand to Zhuo Yi and said to Gui Xingchao: "Thank you Captain Zhuo for the information. We will pay attention to this. In view of your sincerity, we can also make a promise."

"Oh? What promise?"

"I heard that the Chiyun Mountains are extremely rich in minerals, especially iron ore, copper ore, and saltpeter. We are very interested in Hope City. If your army can help us transport some ore over regularly, maybe we can return Another deal can be done."

Zhuo Yi, who had turned lobbying into a deal, finally looked better when he heard this.

It is no secret that the base camp of the rebel army is hidden in the Chiyun Mountains. It is because of the complex terrain and rich mineral resources that the rebel army can continue to this day.

In mountain warfare, the rebels with rich combat experience are not afraid of anyone. If it was a plain, they would have been pushed away by the metropolis long ago.

"Exchange minerals for food?" Zhuo Yi asked.

"Yes, minerals are exchanged for food, but you have to be responsible for the transportation. You must ensure that you will not be caught by the metropolis, otherwise we can terminate the transaction at any time. As for the price, we will satisfy you."

"This, I have to report to my superiors before I can give an answer."

Minerals are different from firearms and ammunition. It is very difficult to transport them into pieces, especially in large quantities, and they are easily detected by the metropolis.

"Naturally." Seeing that the matter was settled, Lin Guiyao stood up with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Zhuo Yi.

"Pleasant to work with."

After seeing off Zhuo Yi with a sad face, Lin Guiyao turned to look at Gui Xingchao,

"Xingchao, what do you think?"

Although after some negotiations, it seemed that City of Hope had the upper hand, but the risks involved were so great that even Lin Guiyao was a little afraid.

If the opponent is pushed into a hurry, a group of veteran rebels may be added to the raiders who will attack after a while.

However, Gui Xingchao didn't care about these things. He seemed to see Lin Guiyao's worries. He said lightly: "Since the accident in the last sacrificial ceremony in Metropolis, I have been paying attention to the progress of the incident. As a result, I discovered a Very interesting thing."

"what's up?"

I don't know why Gui Xingchao suddenly brought up such a far-reaching matter, but Lin Guiyao still asked along, he believed that the military adviser must have deep meaning.

"It's just to catch an assassin and a new human being who escaped. The Metropolis actually mobilized the entire Fourth Ring Army, which not only strengthened the entire defense of the Metropolis, but according to the bill returned by Lin Hai, I also found that the number of soldiers who came to the store was significantly higher. reduce,
This means that either the soldiers are too poor to afford Kagura Street, or they are not in the city at all! "

The former is just a joke, anyone who is poor will not be poor, but the information revealed by the latter is a bit scary.

Not in the city, so where would those soldiers be?
Lin Guiyao first admired Gui Xingchao for thinking of using Kagura Street to collect the consumption information of the metropolis and form a big data to analyze so many things, just like the man who mastered the shopping carts of women all over the country , When people come to the aunt, she knows better than their husband.

Secondly, I am deeply worried about this information.

"The lord doesn't have to worry. The metropolis hasn't lowered the price enough to send troops to trouble us. What they want to deal with is the rebel army if I'm not mistaken."

Gui Xingchao took a sip of the wheat tea. Compared with cold beer, the aroma of wheat in the tea made him feel more at ease.

"Rebel Army?"

"Well, regardless of whether the attack was done by the rebels or not, the metropolis can use this as an excuse to secretly dispatch troops out of the city. As for where to chase them, only they know, but judging by Zhuo Yi's appearance today, it should be almost the same gone."

"Their goal is the Scarlet Cloud Mountains!"

"Because of this, Zhuo Yi had to collect a lot of food in a hurry. In the case of fear of a protracted war, in order to avoid being blocked by the metropolis and causing food shortages in the barren Chiyun Mountains, they even fought us. Seed idea, unfortunately we couldn't help even if we wanted to."

"Besides, we have no obligation to help." Lin Guiyao added.

Thinking of Zhuo Yi's righteous words just now, he was a little funny.Maybe there are many people like Zhuo Yi who are full of blood in the rebel army, but the world cannot be ruled by blood alone.

In his previous life, he didn't know how many times he had seen in history how many uprisings were launched in the name of justice, but after taking power, he became a new corrupt ruler.

There is a magic in that position.

People like the rebel army, even if they chanted the slogan of revenge and fairness again, Lin Guiyao would not believe it.

"But isn't the risk of doing business with the rebel army too great?" Lin Guiyao was a little worried.

If this matter is known to the metropolis, and if it has solid evidence, it is afraid that it will become the chicken in the process of killing chickens and monkeys.

"No way," Gui Xingchao smiled and continued,
"I think the battle between the rebels and Metropolis will most likely be settled, otherwise the plunderers would not dare to gather in large numbers to cause trouble for us. After all, we are not far from Metropolis. If they do this, it will obviously They are not afraid of the Mets’ censure, because they know that the Mets can’t take any action.”

"So, as long as there is no evidence, even if a three-year-old child knows about our deal with the rebel army, the Metropolis will have nothing to do with us for a while. As for the settlement of the dispute with us after the rebel army is dealt with..."

Having said this, Gui Xingchao looked at Lin Guiyao,

"Lord, do you want to be king?"
