Chapter 45:
It has been seven days since he passed the last fortress that killed the aggregation group. During this period, Yongye, apart from chatting with Wumingcha occasionally, was constantly treating his injuries. By now, his injuries have basically recovered. .
However, his injury is almost good, but on the contrary, the food reserves on the Iron City, although they have been saved as much as possible, are now exhausted.
Except for a few privileged people like Yongye and Sifang Chuanchangpu, what the rest of the people eat tonight is not a small problem.
Of course, this is not caused by Yong Ye eating too much. After all, there is already a shortage of food, and what Yong Ye consumes is only the food of the group of people he killed earlier. On this day of food shortage , Yong Ye continued to wield the sword as if nothing had happened, and practiced the swordsmanship of Wuji Kendo.
Because according to the map, they should soon arrive at the next fortress called Yi-Wuwenyi.
Although it is not certain whether the Japanese station will be captured by Kabane like the Yadai station that arrived last time, but this is not important to Yongye.
Even if he was captured by Kabane, with his initial control of the primary Wuji Kendo, his combat power is much stronger than before, and he can even use a fatal blow twice more.
He could just break into the fortress and bring back food that he could go on alone.
It's not impossible to drive the armored iron city alone, it's just running on the track. He has seen how the driver looks many times. In theory, even he can drive a certain distance alone, that is, in terms of maintenance. If he doesn't know anything about it, he may not be able to run the armored city far, ah... It seems that there is still a very important problem, that is, the steam engine of the armored city needs to burn coal...
Hmm... Sure enough, it's unrealistic to drive such a big train alone...
However, even if it is hopeless to drive alone, Yong Ye doesn't think it's any use to be impatient. He can't do anything about the status quo for the time being. After all, he can't make food, and maintaining the operation of the Iron City requires a lot of steam craftsmen.
Apart from the plan of depriving all civilians of food and providing it to valuable people, all he can do is probably to pray that the Japanese station has not fallen, and then continue to find ways to strengthen his force, so that when there is no way, he can rely on it. Walking, or looking for some means of transportation in the Japanese Post, and Wuming gave up the Iron Fortress together.
"Hope... the Japanese station won't fall."
Yong Ye stopped his movements, looked at the rising sun in the sky, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
After that, knowing that this kind of prayer is useless, he once again devoted himself to the practice of Wuji Kendo.
In this way, before the morning is over, time continues to pass.
The Iron Fortress left the previous forest, and his vision became wider.
Behind a wide river, a tall city wall appeared in front of the Iron City, and this was the fortress that decided the fate of the Iron City. I don't know if there was a survivor's fortress - Japanese Wenyi.
Wooooooooooooooo~! ?
A long and loud whistle sounded as a signal from Jia Tiecheng. Whether it was Yong Ye or the people on the train who vaguely knew that the current situation was not optimistic, they began to wait and look forward to the response of the fortress.
If there is no response, it means that the fortress is likely to have fallen like the one that passed by before.
quack quack quack~~! ?
It didn't take long for everyone to wait, and there was a strange scream like a crow in the city.
This sound was undoubtedly quite unpleasant, but the people in the car and the people who were eagerly waiting for it in the aisle burst into the sky with fierce cheers, and there were even tears of joy mixed in.
"Oh oh oh~~!?"
"Is there anyone in there?"
"Finally arrived at a safe station!"
"It's so good...it's so good..."
…
As usual, when the Iron Fortress entered the fortress and stabilized shortly after, the people in the fortress immediately entered the inspection box to check whether there were any scars.
As a matter of course, the local samurai were scattered around the Iron Fortress to guard, and people on the Iron Fortress were not allowed to get off from the place other than the inspection box.
However, there are exceptions to everything.
Yongye, Wuming, and Sifang Chuanchangpu do not need to be checked, because the three of them have special identities.
Wuming seems to have a special background. Even if the Sifangchuan family is gone, her uncle is also the old middle school of the shogunate (the highest position in the shogunate on the occasion that the old man is not set.) is still a second generation of power.
Unlike the two people with backgrounds, Yong Ye obtained a series of indecent titles such as Juggernaut by his own abilities. Although the samurai who recognized him wanted to check it at first, he was only given a cold look. Out of "awe", he let go.
"Your Excellency Yong Ye, I'm going to meet the lord here and ask him to give us part of the food here. Are you ready to go with me?"
Sifang Chuanchangpu brought Jiuzhi to live and came to Yongye who was still on the front of the armored iron city.
Although the actual controller of the armored iron city is Yongye, he has no interest in the many trivial matters on the armored iron city, and the armored iron city basically has no major events except the itinerary.
Therefore, Yongye and Sifang Chuanchangpu reached an agreement. She is still responsible for basic things, and Yongye decides major decisions by herself.
It is precisely because of this distribution that Sifang Chuanchangpu's work is still the same as before, so she is the one who goes to see the lord here, or it can be said... the city lord?
After all, a small amount of food can be purchased, but a large amount of staple food that can maintain the normal needs of the Iron City is difficult to obtain from the market. If you want to get those food, you must talk to the lord here.
"Well... you can go first. If the other party doesn't agree to give the food, then I will go."
Observing the environment around the station and the vigilant warriors, Yong Ye thought about it and decided to wait until Sifang Chuanshu died before going by himself.
"Hey? Is Your Excellency Yong Ye very good at socializing and negotiating? It's really amazing. Not only is the swordsmanship amazing, but also the eloquence is so good. If so, wouldn't it be better for the two of us to go together now?"
I don't quite understand the meaning of Yongye's words. The gentle and kind-hearted Sifang Chuanchangpu accidentally looked at this sentence from a general perspective, mistakenly thinking that Yongye was saying that he was very eloquent and could persuade people.
"Well, I'm really good at negotiating from a special angle, but in general, it's better to use normal negotiation."
Under normal circumstances, Yong Ye's negotiating ability is not very good, it can only be said to be of ordinary level, because compared with ordinary verbal negotiation, he is actually better at unconventional negotiation, that is, force negotiation.
However... although his current force is superior to that of ordinary people, it is still not strong enough. He cannot face a city alone, a single or a few, a dozen, or even dozens of warriors. Regions will not be his opponent.
A lot of people means a lot of power. There are still many warriors in the whole city. If dozens or even hundreds of warriors are in the open area, forming a barrage of firepower to attack him...
Cabanne is not afraid of bullets, but he is still mortal.
He is not stupid if he understands this. If he really needs to use the necessary means, his plan is to sneak into the Japanese-style castle in the center of the fortress - Shancheng, enter the Tianshou Pavilion where the lords live here, and put the lords here. Hijack and force the other party to prepare food and various substances that the Iron City needs to use, and quickly evacuate when they get the things.
"Is that so?...Since that's the case, I'll go meet the lord here first."
Although there is still confusion, but Yong Ye said so, Sifang Chuanchang naturally did not continue to say anything on this topic.
Jiuzhi Laiqi, who was on the side, guessed Yongye's so-called special means of negotiation, and his face was not very good-looking, but he thought about it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, if it is really when there is no way, this is true Still a good way.
"Speaking of which, the people here told us to leave here on the 8th, and tomorrow is the 8th, so if you can't get food and basic supplies tonight, let me know immediately."
"Yes, I will trouble you then."
"Ok."
After talking about the matter with Sifang Chuanchangpu, Yongye was ready to leave the station and buy some food for himself. After all, food for one person can still be easily purchased.
…
"Na Na Na ~ Yong Ye! Wait, wait!"
