Bai Shuilan was drinking soup. When he saw everyone was silent, he leaned close to Li Ming and said softly: "This Norward is too greedy. There is no way to talk about it if this continues."
"You'd better eat quickly. You may not have anything to eat when the fight starts." Li Ming said quietly.
"Wow, do you want to fight?"
"Shh, be quiet. Just follow Jiang Feng's eyes."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Jiang Feng took the initiative to pick up his chopsticks and said to Song Yuan and Li Ming while eating, "Eat, eat, the food is almost cold."
Over there, Noward also said to his subordinates while eating: "This fish is good, try it quickly."
Jiang Feng and others only talked to their own people, and Noward also only talked to his own people. The current atmosphere can be said to be very strange. Neither Jiang Feng nor Norward took the initiative to talk to each other. Whoever speaks first means whoever compromises first.
Jiang Feng knew very well that Norward was an insatiable person and could not be tolerated. Once he got used to him, he would become a lion. And Novad gradually understood that Jiang Feng was not as easy to talk to as he thought.
To be fair, the value of these 200 tons of blue ore is already several times what Norward paid.
Nowad, while eating, was thinking: If this drags on any longer and the relationship is ruined, not only will he not be able to get compensation, I'm afraid he will also get into trouble. Since Jiang Feng's attitude has been so clear, it is better to give him a step down.
Novad suddenly clapped his hands, and the waitress immediately ran out of the banquet hall. Half a minute later, the waitress brought out a large bottle of glowing blue liquid.
The waitress took the bottle of liquid and poured it for everyone one by one. At the same time, Noward smiled and explained: "This is our unique wine in Peicheng, you can try it."
"Fine wine should look like fine wine. Isn't it superfluous to deliberately add luminous substances?" Jiang Feng picked up the wine glass and looked at it.
"Whether it's superfluous or not, we'll decide after tasting it." Novad picked up the wine glass first and drank it all in one gulp. That expression looked very satisfied.
"Okay, let me try." Jiang Feng put the wine glass to his mouth.
Liming was worried that there was something wrong with the wine, so he stopped Jiang Feng and said, "Don't drink it yet, I'll drink it first."
Li Ming quickly picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and then wiped the corners of his mouth.
Novad smiled and said: "Ms. Liming, how do you feel?"
"It's wine, but it's a little sweet and refreshing."
Jiang Feng smiled and drank it in one gulp. After drinking this cup, I felt somewhat refreshed.
"Awesome, it's really not an ordinary wine." Jiang Feng praised.
Seeing that everyone was drinking happily, Bai Shuilan immediately picked up the wine glass and took a sip with his mouth. It tasted really good, so I drank the white water blue in a big gulp. After finishing her drink, she didn't forget to ask the waitress for another drink.
The waitress didn't waste any more time and poured the drinks again for everyone who had finished their drinks one by one.
"This wine is a special gift from the nobles, and we don't have a lot of inventory now. But if you like it, I can give you a box as a gift." Noward smiled.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Jiang Feng also smiled.
"Give me a box too, and I'll give it to the master to try too." Bai Shuilan said with a smile.
"Who is your master?"
"President of the Cross Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Kong."
"No problem, no problem, I'll give each of you a box as a gift." Novad said generously.
"Then it will cost you money." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"Hey, what am I doing? When it comes to spending money, you, Mr. Jiang, have to spend the money. After all, it is 200 tons of blue ore, which is not a small amount. By the way, if you feel that it is difficult to pay it all at once, it is not possible to pay it in installments. question."
"There's no need to stage it. As long as each mining plant squeezes it in, it can still be squeezed out."
"Thank you very much. We will definitely publicize your generosity." Novad said happily.
"To tell you the truth, I originally planned to publicize it well. Please help me get the word out. No matter it is any force or organization, as long as it helps find my daughter Jiang Wei or helps to recapture Cui Wei, I will give you a generous reward. remuneration."
"No problem, I will definitely make this advertisement, and we in Peicheng will do our best to find your daughter."
"Thanks in advance then."
After that, Jiang Feng and others continued to chat and drink with Noward and others. After having enough wine and food, Norward offered to let Jiang Feng and others stay. However, Jiang Feng declined. He planned to return to Wangcheng as soon as possible and had many things to do.
Novad continued to persuade him to stay, but in his heart he wished Jiang Feng would return to Wangcheng to arrange the blue mine affairs.
After some polite greetings, Norward gave Jiang Feng a military helicopter and paired it with a top pilot.
In this way, Jiang Feng and others took a helicopter and flew to Wangcheng.
In the cabin, Li Ming still looked out the window reluctantly: "Are we really leaving like this?"
Jiang Feng said helplessly: "There is no way. Unless Song Yuan gets new information from divination, we will not be able to find Jiang Wei at all."
"You said Jiang Wei was taken away by humans, but these people are not from Peicheng. And there seems to be no other decent force in the entire Peicheng."
"Jiang Wei was taken away by humans. This is a guess of mine, and it is a very likely guess. As for who Jiang Wei will be taken away by, it is very difficult to say. I guess it is scattered small forces, or it may be... Remaining soldiers."
"What remnants?"
"Haven't the zombies been attacking various small forces within Pei City recently? After these small forces are defeated, some people will always escape in the melee. After these stragglers escape, most of them will go to Peicheng. But this The journey was not very smooth, because zombie soldiers were chasing us from time to time. And today happens to be the time when millions of zombie soldiers gathered in Pei City from other places, so those stragglers are likely to hide in sparsely populated countryside or deep mountains."
"In that case, aren't there many deep mountains and old forests near that ancient village?" Bai Shuilan said.
"Yes, there are many deep mountains and remote villages in the border area of Pei City. If we don't have clues, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack." Jiang Feng replied.
"But, there are a lot of zombie soldiers. If they go looking for them, is it likely that they will find them?" Li Ming asked worriedly.
"It is not an easy task to find people in the deep mountains, and the movement of a large number of people will cause a lot of commotion, and the animals in the forest will become restless and run around. This is equivalent to telling the stragglers in advance that the zombies are coming. , so they will move to find a more secluded place, and it is very likely that they will leave Pei City." Jiang Feng explained.
"So you don't think we can intervene anymore?"
"Who said that? We still have a trump card. As long as Song and Yuan find any clues in divination, we will take action immediately. Moreover, the purpose of returning to Wangcheng this time is to mobilize troops. We are at the junction of Hebei Province and Dong Province There are many small towns in the land. We need to mobilize a part of the elite army to be stationed in the small town here. As long as there is news about Jiang Wei, we can act in time. However, Song Yuan, you will be more tired next, and you must divine Jiang Wei's whereabouts every day. "Jiang Feng looked at Song Yuan.
"Don't be polite to me, I will do my best." Song Yuan replied.
Bai Shuilan suddenly changed the topic: "Yes, yes, what I'm more curious about is that Noward. Why do you have to compensate Jiang Feng for him? He wanted to rescue himself, and we didn't ask him to rescue him, so we didn't The obligation is to compensate him. And it’s 200 tons of blue ore, which is an astronomical figure for ordinary forces."
"Compensation must be given, otherwise it will not be justified from a humanitarian perspective." Jiang Feng replied.
"Fifty tons of compensation is already a lot, it's already far greater than Norward's losses."
"This matter is not that simple. If it is just compensation, no one is willing to take the risk. So we must give a generous enough reward to make the small forces and organizations around Pei City excited. Moreover, in order to catch Jiang Wei, the zombies , will probably also give various conditions to bribe local organizations. Only if the reward I offer is more attractive, then the local organizations will stand on our side. And Jiang Wei is equivalent to a reward order. Anyone who discovers Jiang Wei will protect Jiang Wei for the bounty."
"But you have clearly planned to let Jiang Wei go out on her own, so why bother?"
"Bai Shuilan, what are you talking about?" Li Ming asked unhappy.
"It's Jiang Feng who is inconsistent. On the one hand, he relies on the prophecy to let Jiang Wei go on her own adventure. On the other hand, he wants to find Jiang Wei at any cost."
"Jiang Wei is Jiang Feng's daughter after all. Even if there is a prophecy, Jiang Feng will still be worried." Li Ming explained for Jiang Feng.
"Really?" Bai Shuilan looked at Jiang Feng.
"Just say what you want to say." Jiang Feng also looked at Bai Shuilan.
"On the one hand, you believe in the prophecy and give yourself psychological comfort. On the other hand, you doubt the prophecy. Because even if there is no evidence to prove that the prophecy can be broken, there is also no evidence to prove that the prophecy will not be broken. "
Bai Shuilan's words made Jiang Feng silent for a while. Because Bai Shuilan is right, there is no evidence to prove that the prophecy will definitely happen. To use the simplest analogy, Song Yuan once had a prophecy that Jiang Feng would kick Su Kouye seriously in the gravity training room. In order to break the prophecy, Jiang Feng demolished the gravity training room. To be honest, no matter what the reason was, Jiang Feng felt that it would never be possible for him to rebuild the gravity training room again.
However, even so, Jiang Feng could not be 100% sure that this prophecy would not happen or would definitely happen. As the saying goes, things in the world are unpredictable, Jiang Feng cannot take everything too absolutely. The only thing he can do is to plan ahead and minimize the risk.
However, Bai Shuilan didn't know anything about the gravity training room. Why did she know Jiang Feng's thoughts?
"Bai Shuilan, why do you think I doubt the prophecy?"
"It feels like this to me. You believe in prophecies, but you also doubt them, so the things you do are often contradictory. I feel like you just do a double take and try to minimize the risk."
After Bai Shuilan finished speaking, Song Yuan couldn't help being shocked. Who is this girl? How dare you guess Jiang Feng's heart.
Li Ming was also a little surprised. She usually didn't like to think, let alone deliberately guess Jiang Feng's thoughts. But this time, she was indeed a little curious. She turned around and asked Jiang Feng, "Is Bai Shuilan right?"
"She's right."
"Then you said before that Jiang Wei will definitely be fine."
"I just don't want to put too much psychological burden on you."
"So you want to be scared alone?"
"Li Ming, Sol will definitely make big moves next, so I need you to calm down. I don't want Jiang Wei's incident to affect your judgment. From now on, you must obey my orders." Jiang Feng said seriously.
"I...sigh...I know, I will listen to you." Li Ming's mood was very contradictory. On the one hand, she was worried about Jiang Wei. On the other hand, she also knows how serious the current situation is.
Sol, who has already obtained Cui Wei, what big move will he make next?
