The drug dealers made heavy profits, and they all chose to stay after the mountain owner threw out enough benefits, as for the troops under his hands, who cares? When you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit people? What's more, everyone is just acting as sentinels on the periphery, doing early warning work, and when they find out the situation, the troops can be withdrawn, and the danger factor is not great, and no one hesitates.

Li Rui keenly noticed a touch of coldness flashing at the corner of the mountain owner's mouth, but he picked up the teacup and drank tea, covering up this coldness, knowing that it was probably not simple behind it, but it didn't matter, it had nothing to do with himself, there was no need to break it, and he continued to observe other people, the wealth was moving, everyone was very satisfied with the benefits promised by the mountain owner, and the scene became active.

After waiting for a while, the mountain lord signaled everyone to be quiet, and then divided the labor for everyone, someone pushed out a screen, on which is the topographic map of Phoenix Mountain, clearly marked, the mountain owner walked down the Taishi chair, pointed to the map on the screen to assign a defensive area to everyone, Li Rui listened carefully for a while, they are all forests and traffic crossings on the periphery of the town.

Phoenix Town is not small, the enemy that needs to be defended is very large, more than a dozen middlemen, each of whom has nearly a hundred henchmen around him, adding up to thousands of troops, with the addition of this armed force, the defense around Phoenix Town has increased greatly, and the mountain lord's troops can free up their hands to rest and ensure combat effectiveness.

In the face of interests, these middlemen will definitely guard their respective areas, although these people's combat effectiveness is very average, but can play a good early warning role, a few words of fluttering words have won thousands of people's lives, I have to say that this mountain master is not simple.

Suddenly, Li Rui realized a serious problem, just now the mountain owner said that he wanted everyone to stay for an extra week, why a week? Will it be safe in a week? This shouldn't be, there must be another reason behind it, what is it? Li Rui thought for a while, but he didn't know the point, but he felt a little more uneasy in his heart.

Everyone's defensive area was quickly allocated, and the mountain lord explained a few more words, such as don't run around to other areas to avoid misunderstanding, there are minefields in the forest, etc., after the explanation, the mountain lord returned to his Taishi chair seat and sat down, and after a few words of greeting with everyone, he signaled everyone to leave.

Li Rui also got up, not knowing where to go, Nado walked in from outside and said in a low voice: "Follow me, your residence has been arranged." ”

Li Rui nodded in agreement, followed Nado, from the back door of the hall out of the garden is a garden, the garden is very large, planted with all kinds of flowers, there are some strange stones, the whole garden is beautifully embellished, around the garden built a lot of houses, Li Rui followed Nado to a door, only to find that the front is a small courtyard.

"This is the ninth courtyard, left for you to live, every courtyard here is lived, don't walk around easily, so as not to misunderstand." Nado pointed to the door.

Li Rui looked up and saw that there was a wooden sign on the door, and there was a number nine on the wooden card, and the wooden sign was fixed at the door, so he nodded and said, "This courtyard doesn't look small, just the two of us live?" ”

"You are the smallest here, because you have fewer people, and the yard where more people live is naturally larger, otherwise you can't live, each middleman has a yard, and all the daily necessities in the room are complete, and there is an internal phone inside, what do you need to call the service desk, three eight, is there any problem?" Nadeau explained.

"Okay, no." Li Rui replied in a deep voice.

"Okay, you guys go to rest first, don't run out if it's okay, so as not to misunderstand, I'll come over to find you if there's something, or call you on the inside line." Nado admonished, turned to leave, and after taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Wolf, I regret the affairs of your family. ”

Li Rui, who was about to step into the courtyard, was stunned for a moment, stopped, turned his head to look over, but found that Nado had turned around and left, walking quickly, Li Rui looked at Nado's back and was puzzled, but quickly walked inside, the two of them checked the courtyard first, there were actually six rooms, one of which was a reception room, and the others were bedrooms.

The two casually picked a room to live in, after all, they played a lover relationship, and living separately would reveal their stuffing, although there were many rooms here, but they could only live together, the two carefully checked the room, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was no monitor and bugging, Li Rui came to the window and looked outside.

In the distance is the empty sky, near is the lush woods, you can also see the passing patrols, the surroundings are quiet, revealing weirdness, Li Rui found that the uneasiness in his heart was a little more prevalent, at this time, Qin Rong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The first meeting is considered a smooth passage, and the other party should not suspect the two of us." ”

"If this is still suspected, then everything we have done is too much of a failure, but this mountain owner is not simple, and the use of middlemen to defend the perimeter is even more difficult." Li Rui said in a deep voice.

"And they were so excited?" Qin Rong asked curiously.

"They should have no choice, pretending to be out, the mountain owner's arrangement is very ingenious, allowing things to be done and retreating, so that the people below will die, those middlemen will be fine, the wealth is moving, thousands of free early warning troops, which invisibly strengthens the entire defense force." Li Rui said in a deep voice.

"Free? Isn't it delivery again, and profit again? Qin Rong asked curiously.

"That's just a verbal promise, so what if you don't give it in the future? You must know that the middlemen have to ask them, not they ask the middlemen, once the supply of goods is cut off, the middlemen will not be able to play in the future, so when the time comes, no one dares to jump up and ask the mountain owner to do things as promised, these middlemen can actually see it, but in Phoenix Mountain, for the sake of their own safety, no one dares to resist. Li Rui explained.

"There is some truth, the mountain lord used gentle means to kidnap thousands of troops to die, this method is not simple, didn't they say to stay for a week? What happens in a week? What are we going to do? Qin Rong asked.

"There must be a problem here, we must find out as soon as possible, but, just now Nado has specifically explained, let's not go around, this is a threat in disguise, I am afraid that the people here have long been on guard, to avoid the middlemen in tandem with them to the detriment, and also, this Nado is a bit interesting, maybe it can be used." Li Rui said.

"How?" Qin Rong said in surprise.

"I can't say either, maybe it's Nado's character, right? It can be seen that he is a responsible, responsible, and righteous person, and he is full of guilt about the murder of the main family, so he reminded me intentionally or unintentionally, helping in disguise, there should be something strange in this, I think, there is a chance to have a good test, maybe our task will fall on him, what do you say? Li Rui analyzed in a deep voice.
