Catastrophe

Daosui City is the fortress where the power center of the Lu family is located, but the prosperity is much worse than that of the Pei family. Ning Zhe first entered the city and thought he was in the non-security area of ​​the No. 87 fortress.

Daosui City has a large population, but due to the limited resources in Mobei, there are very few brick and tile structures in the marginal area. Those areas close to the city wall are still made of adobe and straw. The tallest The place has only three floors, and unlike Pei's land, there are asphalt roads, and even the main road is a rammed dirt road.

Regarding some basic questions about Pei's family, Ning Zhe chatted with Lu Meng during the time he was on the road.

Mobei is a barren land, otherwise, it would be impossible not to be targeted for so many years.

The Lu family in Mobei was originally a vagabond. The so-called vagabond refers to the fact that they did not rely on any chaebol at the time, but just looked for relics in Mobei on their own.

Because there are many bandits in Mobei, in order to prevent their limited resources from being plundered, the ancestors of the Lu family united their clans and formed forces to protect themselves in troubled times.

Later, more and more people were excavating the ruins. In order to support such a large family, the ancestors of the Lu family had to choose to expand and develop further afield. As a result, they unexpectedly found that in this Mobei hunting sand sea Among them, there is actually a large area of ​​land suitable for cultivation.

That piece of land was the capital for the Lu family to start in Mobei.

The fortresses of other chaebols were built in consideration of factors such as geography and resources. The purpose of their existence was not to guard the border, but to control the resources of a certain area, while the fortresses of the Lu family were all built around the land here and there. You can allow bandits in Lingnan, but you will never allow any problems in your rear.

As for the specific appearance of the land over there, as well as its location, Ning Zhe asked several times, but Lu Meng avoided talking about it, because it was the lifeblood of the Lu family, and it was all their hope. Ning Zhe can also understand.

Daosui City is a residential fortress. There are no industrial areas around it. After passing through the city gate, there is a huge city inside.

It was not until the convoy entered the core area of ​​the fortress that Ning Zhe felt a little bit of the atmosphere of a big city. Perhaps it was to support the facade. There are also some high-rise buildings in Daosui City, but in Ning Zhe's opinion, buildings in Daosui City are common. Under the condition of low height, the business district composed of dozens of skyscrapers seems somewhat nondescript.

Seeing Ning Zhe staring out of the car window, Lu Meng was dazed, and said with a smile, "Why, do you think Lu's face is swollen and fat?"

"No." Ning Zhe retracted his thoughts and shook his head with a smile: "It's just that I came to Lu's from Pei's suddenly, which is a little strange."

"I always thought that you are a straight-forward person, and you have learned how to pinch yourself." Lu Meng leaned on the seat and smiled, "Anyone who comes from Pei's to Lu's will feel uncomfortable, which is very uncomfortable. It's normal, because there are no high-rise buildings and no bright lights. Even in this Gyeonggi Daosui City, it is still a dilapidated scene. You may not know it yet. Although Daosui City is the capital, it is only a city center. There is heating in a small part, and there is no heating in all but that small area."

"this……"

After listening to Lu Meng's words, Hu Yihan wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words. He always thought that the Lu family could be called the four chaebols, even if there was a gap with the other three, it should be almost the same. Thinking of the Lu family's center, even the most broken fortress of the Pei family can't compare.

Lu Meng smiled and said, "If you have something to say, speak directly."

"I'm just curious, in such a cold weather, if there is no heating in the fortress, how can ordinary people keep warm." Hu Yihan raised his own question: "As far as I know, most areas in Mobei are barren, so coal, wood There should be very few other resources, right?"

"Yeah, most of the people here use coal imported from several other chaebols. They pay part of it themselves, and the Lu family will also subsidize part of it. Every year, some people freeze to death, but it's only an example, you know, No matter how perfect the system is, it is impossible to take care of everyone accurately! There will always be beggars in this world!"

Lu Meng took a deep breath: "The Lu family is very difficult, not only because of the lack of resources, the other three clans' containment, but also because of the misunderstanding of us by the outside world. As you can see, Daosui City is very dilapidated, in fact, this is not the case. It means how poor we are, but because there are so many materials for building high-rise buildings in Mobei, of course, there are also some objective factors, such as the moat equipped with most of Pei's fortresses, it will never be possible in Mobei accomplish."

After listening to Lu Meng's answer, Ning Zhe seemed to be able to understand the reason why Lu Meng traded with Su Fei in the first place.

With a glimpse of the leopard, even the residents of Daosui City lived like this. How the other Lu clan fortresses lived can be imagined. If it wasn't for the Lu clan's food base, they could support so much. People, it is estimated that they have long since ceased to exist.

Lu's situation was difficult, and Ning Zhe could only experience it by seeing it with his own eyes.

He has experienced war. The civil war in Fort No. 87 allowed him to see all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment, and he is also very suspicious that if other chaebols invade the Lu family, they will rely on their low-walled fortresses~www .readwn.com~ Is there any ability to withstand the impact of artillery fire?

While the few were chatting, the armored car they were riding in stopped, and Lu Kuan also stepped to the side of the car. After Lu Meng lowered the window, he said, "Master, we have already arrived in the inner city."

"Okay, I see." Lu Meng nodded, "Go on."

Lu Kuan licked his lips and explained softly, "Master, you friends may have to be separated from you."

Lu Meng raised his brows: "Separate? Why?"

Lu Kuan shook his head: "This is the meaning of the forbidden army headquarters, I can only do it."

"Wait outside." Lu Meng raised the car window and saw Ning Zhe and the others were looking at him. He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's alright! Daosui City is the center of the Lu clan, and the Lu clan's elders will meet with him. Some important people live and work here. The inner city that Lu Kuan just mentioned is a common name. In fact, it is the seat of the Lu family's elders' association. In the Lu family's absolute restricted area, ordinary people are not allowed to approach, so you have to get out of the car. take inspection."

"Understood, since that's the case, then tell everyone to get off." Ning Zhe nodded and opened the door.

When they were on the 87th, the common people couldn't even see a mayor like Pei Mu. Now that they are in the most central part of the Lu family, they should be inspected.

As soon as they got out of the car, several Lu soldiers with armbands with the words "Forbidden Army" surrounded them. An officer looked at them and said coldly, "Now, please hand in all weapons. considered an act of hostility."

After listening to the officer's words, Hu Yihan leaned against Ning Zhe slightly and whispered, "Dude, something is wrong!" read!
