Chapter 1095: Careful Thoughts, the Righteous Captain Bao Lei!

Xu Leguo originally thought that he would definitely have to suffer some physical pain before his nephew would be willing to pay his gambling debts.

Five thousand seashells is not a small amount. He was able to export them purely because he was instigated by others and was unwilling to give in.

However, what surprised him was that when he heard the location of the supplies, Richard actually agreed to pay the debt without any hesitation.

How could it be so straightforward?

Being dragged by Bao Lei towards the water prison, Xu Leguo became more and more uneasy.

He is not a fool. If the supplies there were not very important, Richard would never have behaved like this.

If he thought that I would use this supply point to threaten him in the future

"You should be glad that you were locked up in the water prison today, otherwise these people would want to kill you on the spot."

"What?" Xu Leguo, who was still thinking about how to reassure Richard, was stunned and quickly looked up at Bao Lei.

The latter did not speak, but angrily pouted at the surroundings.

Since the two came out of Richard's office, more and more travelers with strange eyes have appeared around them.

Because the people here still give some face to the captain of the guard, Bao Lei, no troublemakers have come around for the time being.

"You don't know yet, just when you were drinking and going to the casino, the news that you were colluding with pirates has spread throughout the post station. Now it is estimated that the 80,000 people in the post station know that you, Xu Leguo, secretly sold the post station and the surrounding fleet's deployment map to pirates."

"Ah?!"

What pirates?

Xu Leguo's mind was a little confused and he shrank back.

He looked around quietly and saw that the eyes of the people around him were indeed very wrong. Thinking of what Bao Lei had just said, he suddenly felt bitter in his mouth, and his stomach seemed to be churning under the influence of his nervous mentality.

"I didn't collude with the pirates. How could I not deploy defenses? I don't know these things at all."

"Hehe, do you know whether it is important? Richard's uncle, the confidant of the post station manager, they don't think you are a brainless gambler."

Bao Lei grinned and refuted without hesitation.

Since there are foreign travelers passing by the post station every day, it is basically impossible to manage the public opinion here.

Especially since the manager Richard did not pay any attention to this, once there is any public opinion, it will grow wildly.

Bao Lei did not care whether these people would rob the water prison and kill Xu Leguo with anger.

Let him die, he is not a big shot.

It just happened to give him an excuse to sweep the casino in the post station and collect some materials to subsidize the "household expenses".

"No, someone must be deliberately framing me, yes, someone must have done it on purpose!"

Although he did not know what happened specifically, his intuition told Xu Leguo that the person who released the news that he colluded with pirates must have other purposes.

Could it be that his nephew wanted to use this excuse to get rid of him?

Subconsciously thinking of the situation that threatened Richard before, Xu Leguo shuddered suddenly.

"Captain Bao Bao, you can't just watch me die like this. You know, I'm just a gambler, definitely not the kind of traitor who can collude with pirates to harm my own people. There must be a real traitor who wants to get rid of me and use me to cover up his crimes."

"Shut up." Bao Lei almost wanted to slap the drunkard.

He got angry when he talked about this. Some time ago, Richard repeatedly asked him to take people out to duel with pirates.

But according to the news that has been spread now, it is estimated that there is a traitor in the Giant Tree Root Station.

If he was forced to go out to fight the pirates at that time, I am afraid that the news would be given to the pirates before they get close.

"If you want to live, go and tell Richard. It's useless to tell me. I'm not your nephew."

"No, even if I'm your uncle, I won't save you, a gambling nephew. I think you'd better die early, so that the post station can save some supplies. Don't lose all to those water ghosts who set up the trap, causing the salary of our guard team to be raised by me, the captain, everywhere. It's really troublesome."

"Ah?"

Xu Leguo was anxious.

But Bao Lei's reaction did not surprise him.

If you want to say who in the entire post station is most qualified to ignore him, it's probably this powerful captain.

The two hundred people he recruited are all retired soldiers on Earth. Not only do they have strict military discipline, but their combat power is also ridiculously high. Each of them can fight three people at once.

The only disadvantage is that it is probably very expensive to maintain these people.

After all, there must be sufficient food supply, attractive enough wages, and frequent training.

To complete these, it is completely impossible without enough seashells.

Although Richard would allocate funds to the guards, most of the money was left to the people led by his trusted confidant Marcus.

No wonder Captain Bao Lei wanted to kill him on the spot when he heard that he had lost 5,000 seashells in gambling.

So he was too short of money? !

Realizing this, Xu Leguo immediately thought of the only way to survive.

He turned his head and glanced at Richard's office that disappeared from his sight, gritted his teeth and suddenly said:

"Captain Bao Lei, don't be angry. Although I am a gambler and a loser. But don't worry, I am completely different from my nephew Richard. I know very well the difficult situation of the guards now, and I know how difficult your work is. So as long as you can protect me, I will tell you a secret place where supplies are hidden."

"There are two hundred thousand, yes, at least two hundred thousand seashells!"

Two hundred thousand, that is the food for four thousand people for a month, which is a huge amount of supplies.

And this is the number he saw two months ago. Now Richard is frantically making money, I am afraid it will be more than this number.

"Two hundred thousand seashells?"

Bao Lei's eyebrows jumped.

If there is really so much money, the number of guards can be expanded to one thousand or even more.

But how could Xu Leguo have this money? If he really had it, would he go to the casino to owe money and wait for Richard to pay it back?

Wait for Richard?

Bao Lei suddenly reacted and sneered: "Xu Leguo, you are not going to use your nephew's secret supply point to negotiate with me, right?"

"Strictly speaking, that is not his supply point."

Xu Leguo coughed lightly.

"Ahem, Captain Bao Lei, maybe you don't know what happened when the post station was established, but I can assure you that these supplies were found and accumulated by all of us founders, not just Richard alone."

"But now it's his, isn't it?"

Bao Lei paused and continued to refute.

"Besides, you also know the current situation of the post station. Your good nephew will not watch me wreak havoc at his supply point, let alone bring things back to raise guards. Of course, if you can move the supplies to me, maybe I will really save your life."

Supplies moved in front of me?

Xu Leguo was a little embarrassed.

This Bao Lei is really stubborn. The secret supply point that outsiders are trying to find out sounds worthless to him.

Why not try to trade with outsiders to see if they can save their lives?

After having this idea, Xu Leguo immediately denied it.

The reason is simple. Although the forces in this post station are complicated, there is really no one who can dominate the whole scene.

Public opinion is so bad now. If everyone knows that he is colluding with pirates.

And if Richard knows that the condition of his exchange is his secret material point.

Oh no.

He is completely offended.

Under pressure, if the other party can't stand it and hands him over, then he is probably really looking for death.

After thinking about it, it is probably only Bao Lei who can save his life in the Giant Tree Root Station.

What to do?

Xu Leguo's mind turned rapidly, and a bold idea came up with the alcohol in his blood.

"Captain Bao Lei, do you want to be the manager of this Giant Tree Root Sea Area?"

"What?"

"I mean, isn't it said outside that I am a spy of the pirates? But if these people outside know that Richard, the manager, is actually the real spy, and he is colluding with pirates and selling information about the fleet, is there a possibility that you, the righteous captain of the guard, can naturally become the new manager of our Giant Tree Root Station?"

"Tsk tsk, do you mean you want me to kill your nephew?"

As they were about to reach the guard's station, Bao Lei was no longer so cautious when he spoke.

"You are really brave. If Richard knew what you were thinking now, I'm afraid that no one outside would have to do anything. You will be killed by the people he sent tonight."

"I know, of course I know."

"But even if I don't say this now, Richard will not give up. He knows that if I am forced into a desperate situation, I will not go to hell with this secret."

"Are you sober?"

Bao Lei stared at this guy intently, with a hint of surprise in his heart.

In fact, when Xu Leguo said this just now, he was really tempted.

If you can kill Richard, the manager, you can naturally take his material warehouse for yourself.

And once the guard team expands smoothly, the giant tree root station can also end the current chaos to a certain extent.

The station next to the coastline?

Now there are 80,000 people gathered, and the number will only increase in the next one to two months.

If you can earn ten seashells from each of these people.

Thinking of the original intention of applying to come to the sea area this time, Bao Lei raised his spirits for the first time and began to think about Xu Leguo's proposal.

The main goal of giving him the territory is publicity, and the secondary goal is to develop branch forces on the coastline.

After all, no one would be willing to stay here for a long time and not enter the more mysterious and more opportunities to explore the new continent.

But if we can occupy such a large post station in advance when the great migration tide comes.

Absolute credit!

Perhaps it is not impossible to establish a branch territory based on the post station.

"Tell me what you think?"

"It's very simple. Don't they think I'm a traitor? Then I will stand up and identify Richard as the traitor!"

"So simple?"

"Yes, everyone knows that I am his uncle. Since they think I know the defense map, is it difficult for me to understand Richard's secrets?"

It sounds simple, but it is not a simple thing to implement.

First of all, we must control Richard, the manager, to ensure that he will not take any action when public opinion is launched.

The premise is to get rid of his confidant Marcus and some guards, which is equivalent to a civil war.

Secondly, how to stabilize the travelers outside when the civil war breaks out.

Some of these people are just watching the fun, while others are waiting for an opportunity to take over.

The Giant Tree Root Posthouse is a popular place. Even if the plan goes smoothly, two hundred guards may not be able to defend it.

We must ask for support from the territory!

The last raid by pirates could be delayed, but this time the dispute over managers is of different significance.

Bao Lei made a decision in his heart and looked up at the guards on duty not far away.

"Come on, take him to the water dungeon and lock him up."

Hearing Bao Lei's arrangement, Xu Leguo's face showed a trace of bitterness.

Did he fail again?

To be honest, the only valuable point on him is probably the location of the supplies, but looking at the current situation, even if he tells the other party immediately, it is estimated that there will be no change.

However

"By the way, arrange more people to keep an eye on him for me, and don't let the little guys outside reach in without my order."

"Okay." A soldier smiled.

Under the gaze of Xu Leguo's surprised, pleasantly surprised, and deeply uneasy face, he pushed him.

"Why are you still standing there, do you want to be beaten here?"

"Go, go, I'm leaving now!"

Captain Bao Lei did not make any promises, but this sentence sounded like heavenly music.

Although the other party has not made up his mind whether to use his plan, or the other party has not yet figured out how much value he has.

But Xu Leguo knows that he has finally survived for a few days!

The rain is progressive from the edge to the middle of the New World.

The closer to the center, the heavier the rain.

And it is also accompanied by a rapid cooling stimulation.

In order to prevent this rainstorm from spreading into a flood like the last time the fog dissipated, the Tianyuan Territory once again organized thousands of people to start the second phase of the river widening project in the face of low temperatures.

This time the river will start from the Yuren Village and go directly to the warning wall.

The total length is nearly 80 kilometers, which is an absolute big project!

Although this kind of collective disaster relief work does not pay much, there are special contribution points to be obtained. The participating players are all very active and show a look of no one else but me.

And the aboriginal Huanggu Village and Huo Village did not stop.

They all sent people to learn, and then imitated and wanted to open a flood discharge channel near the gathering place.

It just so happens that the temperature has dropped and the crops in the fields have stopped growing.

I'm idle anyway, and it's better to have this kind of infrastructure work and get a satisfactory reward than lying in a small bed and being bored.

In response, the lord Su Mo also expressed his opinion and generously agreed to distribute the cold-resistant materials.

First time for free.

The temperature drop this time was too abrupt, and it was the extreme weather that the indigenous people had never experienced.

Asking them to provide materials for the garment factory to buy is inevitably suspected of taking advantage of the disaster to make money for themselves.

And taking advantage of the fact that there are not many people, it's just right to show his kindness as a lord.

When there are more people in the future, he can also use the excuse that he once gave free materials to re-define the charges for those disaster-resistant materials.
