The stalls were spread out and the name of the alliance was spread. More and more outsiders came here, including many with ulterior motives.
Qingyan's robbery was just the beginning, and similar things would be inevitable in the future.
Lin Yan and Shui Sheng immediately went to find Heitu. Defense still relied on the military.
Kurotsuchi has the highest power to dispatch the army, and the execution efficiency of his orders will be much higher.
The military headquarters had not received the news yet. Hearing the purpose of Shui Sheng and Lin Yan's visit, Heitu stood up in shock, "Qingyan was really robbed. Who did it?"
Shuisheng: "It's true, but I'm not sure who did it. I speculate that the most likely person is the Qushui tribe. They are close to Qingyan, so they have a geographical advantage. They have been in contact with Qingyan for many years, and they have a clear understanding of Qingyan's situation."
"I will take people to destroy them." Kurotsuchi was furious. The incident in Mingcheng made him look shameless. After all, the rebellion was caused by the military's mismanagement, and now something happened again. The military's successive defeats have damaged the reputation of the military.
The salt mine is an important resource, and troops have been stationed to guard it. Unexpectedly, a loophole was taken advantage of.
Lin Yan hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, Heitu, please calm down. It has been a few days since the incident happened. We are far away and we don't know what the situation is. We will make plans after it is confirmed that it is the Qushui tribe."
"What are your plans?" Kurotsuchi couldn't wait for a moment. His temper that he had restrained over the years suddenly broke out at this moment.
"Leading the troops to level the ground, it's time to show our sharp claws and let people know that we are not easy to bully."
Lin Yan is also eager to use force to intimidate. As of today, the alliance has always preached peace, justice, and the rule of law, creating a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere that makes outsiders look down upon it and dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
Kurotsuchi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, I'll do as you say. When the time comes, I will personally lead the troops and let them see the strength of the alliance."
Shui Sheng: "That's for the future. Let's talk about what we need to do now. Lin Yan and I think the military department should send people to Qingyan to understand the situation. Although there is a garrison there, it would be more secure to send people to check in person."
"I'll arrange for someone to come over right away."
Lin Yan: "I have communicated with the shipyard and the two newly built ships are ready for use. They are absolutely fast. It only takes more than two days to get to Qingyan. One ship can carry up to twenty-five people."
Kurotsuchi: "Send both ships out?"
"Yes, the matter is urgent. Send someone there first. The military headquarters will send out two teams, and the Arbitration Court will also send people to follow."
In less than half a day, two ships set off from the dock, with Lan Yue leading the team. She has been to the Qushui tribe and knows about it.
The stolen salt needs to be transported away, most likely by water. There are two clippers, so it is possible to catch up.
Normal sailing from Qingyan to Qushui takes one and a half months. The new ship has an obvious speed advantage and must get back the salt.
The mineral salt in stock is to prepare for next year. Once the supply of mineral salt is cut off, chaos will inevitably occur.
After sending the people away, Lin Yan said in confusion: "Shui Sheng, the salt in stock is at least a thousand kilograms. Does the Qushui tribe have a ship to transport it away? So many people came to rob, they must have at least three big ships, how did they get there? ?”
Shuisheng shook his head: "The situation is unclear, so it's hard to say for sure. But what is certain is that the Qushui tribe's boats are sufficient. We have to check it out."
Lin Yan nodded, "Now it seems that there are still many shortcomings in the alliance. There are only more than 200,000 people. There are so many things. What will we do in the future?"
"You can't be perfect. As long as you make sure that the general direction is right, the vast majority of people can benefit. Lin Yan, don't worry too much. There are more and more people, and the number of talented people is increasing. In the future, success will not be achieved by just one person." It requires a lot of people to work together.”
The news has not spread yet, but the dispatch of two new ships, led by Blue Moon, still caused quite a stir.
People speculated what happened.
Lin Yan was very busy every day, and he had to keep an eye on Qing Yan's movements, worrying about whether Yan could be recovered.
Half a month later, Lan Yue brought people back. All the stolen salt was recovered, and he also brought back the leader of the robbers.
Lin Yan was surprised when he saw the person. Unexpectedly, the robber was a young man under twenty, with a gentle appearance and no hint of gangsterism.
His body is thin and tall, like a bamboo pole, and his clothes hang on his body, making him look much wider.
"Are you Lin Yan?" Qu Ya spoke first, with provocation in his wanton eyes.
"Yes, any advice?" Lin Yan nodded and saw that Qu Ya was a thorn in his side, a man with brains, crazy and bold.
"Hmph, you look just average. So many people admire you, it must be because you are blind."
Qu Ya didn't have the slightest sense of being a prisoner, "I think Lan Yue is much stronger than you, capable of fighting and smart. Under the leadership of Lan Yue, the Sun Alliance will definitely do better than you."
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows, "Why do you think so? How did you come to this conclusion?"
She suddenly laughed and said, "Oh, I understand. You must have been beaten by Lan Yue for all the flesh wounds on your body. It still hurts. I thought you were not afraid of anything."
After his scar was uncovered, anger flashed in Qu Ya's eyes, but he held it back and said, "I was careless for a moment, we'll see what happens next."
"Oh, where did you get the confidence? If you are caught, there will be no future."
"I heard that you are the son of the leader of the Qushui tribe. The next leader has been smart since he was a child and has some strange ideas. He secretly came to Qingyan and became self-taught. Not only did he learn the alliance's writing and language, he also learned the technology of shipbuilding. , built five large ships for the Qushui Tribe. It is precisely because of these that gave you the absolute confidence to dare to take the initiative to provoke and want to swallow the salt of the alliance. This is just a test for you. Once you succeed, will you still I want to swallow up the alliance."
Qu Ya's expression changed again and again, and finally said calmly: "Whatever you think."
"What makes you so confident? Didn't you ask me before doing anything?" Lin Yan smiled lightly, "You should have heard about Mingcheng's affairs. I am a person who can't tolerate sand in my eyes. I will never tolerate criminals." . I can kill the lord of Ming City with one knife, do you think your life can be saved?"
The calm that Qu Ya tried to maintain was broken, and his face changed drastically, "You want to kill me?"
"Why not? Do you think the Qushui Tribe is qualified to fight with the Alliance? Or are you overconfident in your identity and think that the Qushui Tribe will do everything it can to avenge you. Haha, don't be stupid, in the face of interests , human life doesn’t matter.”
"You lied. The Sun Alliance declares that life is priceless and cannot be killed casually."
"No, no, no, you still don't understand it thoroughly enough. There will be legal sanctions for those who commit crimes. But you are not a member of the Sun Alliance and are not protected by the alliance's laws. You are an outsider, a robber, and the alliance members are eager to kill you. , who will care about you."
Qu Ya was finally afraid, and his confidence turned into a joke.
"Do you really want to kill me?"
