Third's face was filled with pride, while the surrounding officers all had a dim look in their eyes. Everyone knew that the number of people who were killed was not small, and Third was purposely saying it for Huang Quan to hear. This time, Huang Quan's face flushed red, as though blood was about to drip out. Ever since they met, Third had always been at odds with him, and had always been insulting him. This was only because he did not kill Third at the start, or else who knew how Third would deal with him. Zhang Xiaoqiang heavily patted Third's shoulder and said: "Let bygones be bygones. Now that WH City has been reclaimed by Huang Quan, and I've also established a connection with Sichuan, we will be able to unite Jiangxi, Hubei, and Sichuan. Jiangxi was built by you, and no one can take it away, including me …."
This time, it was Third's face that was flushed red, and his heart was filled with shame. He knew that Zhang Xiaoqiang had seen through his thoughts. Ever since he had interacted with Zhang Xiaoqiang, Zhang Xiaoqiang had not told him about the population of his faction, nor the territories that they controlled. He had only talked about the hardships they had faced at the start, and he never expected that Zhang Xiaoqiang would be so meticulous. What made him feel even more ashamed was that Zhang Xiaoqiang had asked him to be at ease, but how could he be at ease?
It must be known that it was Zhang Xiaoqiang who had thought of a way to save him, and the White Horse had rebelled because of him. In the end, when Zhang Xiaoqiang was protecting tens of thousands of survivors, he was ambushed, and indirectly caused the death of He Wen Bin. For this, Huang Quan killing him would not be considered excessive, and when he chased him away, he gave him a way out. Yang Ke-er used the excuse of sending him to look for Zhang Xiaoqiang, and gave him men, ammunition, and weapons, allowing him to develop to where he was today. But ….
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, it was not easy for our old brothers to come here. Many of us did not see today, and died halfway. It would be a lie to say that we are not angry, but we still remember that Zhang Xiaoqiang gave us a way out, and we also remember that without the resources and ammunition given by Miss Ke 'er, we would not be able to come this far. We do not want the things that we risked our lives to be taken away by others. However, if Zhang Xiaoqiang wants to take it away, we have nothing to say, as long as you give us an arrangement …."
Three revealed everything in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang and the other officers. Huang Quan and Gao Feng stared at Three, their eyes filled with anger. Even though Huang Quan felt that he had let Three down, he could not help but want to pull out his gun and shoot this ungrateful bastard. As for Gao Feng, the people of China were most particular about trust. Even though the Yangtze River Fleet had developed to the point where it could leave the hot spring base at any time, he had never thought of splitting up. Even though the Yangtze River Fleet did not receive much support, and instead did their best to repay the cockroach base, it was because they knew who founded the Yangtze River Fleet. He had heard some things about Three, but he did not agree with what Three said. After all, without those old members who came out from the hot spring base, without those young officers who came out from the military academy, Three was nothing.
Ai Qingshan looked at Three with interest, occasionally glancing at Zhang Xiaoqiang. He wanted to see how Zhang Xiaoqiang would handle this matter. Zhang Xiaoqiang's goal was to take in the people of Poyang Lake, and Three had already made his intentions clear. Now, it was time to see how Zhang Xiaoqiang would react, would he use delaying tactics to delay, or would he kill Three on the spot?
You are the savior in their hearts, it was you who brought them to kill the Dark Fishes, to find food, to build a base, to protect them from being slaughtered. I've told Huang Quan before, when the apocalypse ends and all the enemies are gone, China will establish a democratic system, and my child will not be the manager of the survivors. Our goal is the same, to leave China with a single breath of life, to protect the survivors from being preyed on by the zombies, to not be enslaved by others. Since that's the case, I have no need to force you guys to rejoin the hot spring system, as long as you promise not to call yourself an emperor for the rest of your life …. "Zhang Xiao Qiang was silent, while Three stood by his side and looked at Zhang Xiao Qiang with a passionate gaze. Huang Quan and the rest were on high alert, ready to attack at any time. The troops that belonged to Three had already started to draw their bows, only the commoners at the side did not know that there was going to be bloodshed. Ai Qingshan's thoughtlessness did not mean that he was an idiot, he casually swept past his waist pocket, and opened the leather pouch that contained the bullets. Suddenly, Zhang Xiao Qiang moved, he grabbed Three's shoulders and pointed to the survivors around him:" They don't know who I am, but they know who you are. You are the savior in their hearts, it was you who led them to kill the Dark Fishes, to find food, to build a base, to protect them from being slaughtered.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang …."
"Huang Quan anxiously wants to stop them, they have tens of thousands of troops, dozens of armed ships from the Yangtze River Fleet, and a fleet that can transport tens of thousands of troops. The armed ships that Three put together will not be able to withstand a single blow. Since Three dares to do this, why can't they do the same?
Those who achieve great things do not bother with trifles, as long as Three dares to say such words, they will dare to attack, why must they …. "
"Huang Quan, there is no need to say anymore, as long as Three treats the survivors well, why must we make a move?
Furthermore, I have seen Three's subordinates, and they are not much worse off than our survivors …. "
Zhang Xiaoqiang's authority was not something that Huang Quan could refute. Although Gao Feng was angry, but since Zhang Xiaoqiang had spoken, he did not dare to say anything. Ai Qingshan raised his eyebrows, he could tell that Zhang Xiaoqiang was speaking the truth, Zhang Xiaoqiang really did not intend to make a move on Three. This made him very puzzled, but he did not say anything, as he felt that this matter had nothing to do with him. Three remained calm and collected, and gestured with his hand: "Zhang Xiaoqiang, come sit at my place, we have a special kind of Immortal Mist Silver Tea, the taste is not bad …."
The group of people arrived at the house that Huang Quan had come from, and upon entering the living room, they discovered that the place was decorated differently. There were more than 10 rattan chairs that were woven with green vines, and the floor was covered with a layer of green vine carpet. The green vines were like jade, and had a lustrous luster, like a piece of exquisite art. The carpet itself also emitted the fragrance of plants. In the middle of the rattan chairs, there was a tea table that looked like it was carved out of black jade. Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes were sharp, and he could see that the tea table was carved out of black jade. If one did not look closely, they would only be shocked at how luxurious the tea table was, and would not be able to tell that it was carved out of wood.
When they took their seats, a few young and beautiful female guests came in with trays that were made of the same material as the tea table. On the trays were teacups that looked like bamboo joints. These bamboo joints were made from sawn bamboo, and were bright red like jade. There was also a white mist that condensed at the mouth of the teacups. The white mist did not dissipate, instead, it flowed around the mouth of the teacups, and did not disappear. It was as if it was fixed at the mouth of the teacups by magic, and it was very mystical.
One by one, the teacups were placed in everyone's hands, and a warm flow of energy flowed from their palms to their meridians, and spread throughout their body, causing them to feel warm all over. The officers of the hot springs department were all slightly shocked by Three's extravagant opening. Currently, the Hubei base was still focused on combat and development, and the ordinary officers, including Huang Quan, were all living very hard lives. They did not place much importance on enjoyment, or else Gao Feng would not have been forced into a corner by Ai Qingshan for a cup of Perilla wood pulp. As the head of the military department, Huang Quan would also not take the risk of Chen Ye to take out his son's milk powder.
Compared to Three, they were all country bumpkins.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, everyone, this Immortal Fog Silver Tea is a tea species unique to us, and the production is not high. Every tea tree can only harvest one tea leaf a day, and every tea leaf can be used to brew a cup of tea. This thing has a great effect on a person's physique, as long as you drink this tea tomorrow, you will be covered in black sweat, and when you take a hot bath, you will feel refreshed. If you drink it for ten days straight, your skin will have a jade-like luster, and it is extremely beneficial to women. Even a 40 year old woman will look like an 18 year old if she drinks it regularly … …"
Three said proudly with his legs crossed. The faces of the officers from the hot spring department all changed. This was a precious item. Ai Qingshan immediately took a sip. The tea that entered his mouth split open on the tip of his tongue, causing him to be immersed in an ethereal and alert state. It was as though his entire heart had been cleansed, and all kinds of distracting thoughts and worries had disappeared. The people sitting beside him suddenly moved far away from him, and he was the only one left in the universe. Quietly listening to his own heartbeat, he could feel a special kind of pulse, and the ability to control metal that he had hidden in his body had also increased a little.
Hearing Three's explanation, Zhang Xiaoqiang smiled and raised his cup, but was stopped by Huang Quan:
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, let's see the effect first … …"
After saying that, he pointed at Ai Qingshan, only to realize that all the officers in the hot spring department were staring at Ai Qingshan, who had a silly smile on his face. At the same time, they were muttering in their hearts, could this Immortal Fog Silver Tea be the legendary idiot medicine?
Would one become an idiot after drinking it?
Zhang Xiaoqiang smiled as Three's expression changed. He raised the cup of Immortal Fog Silver Tea to his mouth, but before he drank it, a fist-sized fog floated at the mouth of the cup and rushed into his nostrils. Immediately, a strange fragrance that was not inferior to the colloid drug occupied all the olfactory nerves in the nose. After a long time, he let out a breath of turbid air and drank the mercury-like tea in one gulp … …
With Zhang Xiaoqiang taking the lead, the others also drank the tea in their hands. Only Huang Quan did not move. Three was very grateful for Zhang Xiaoqiang's trust in him. He looked at Huang Quan with contempt and walked forward to exchange his blanket with Huang Quan. He picked up Huang Quan's tea and drank it in one gulp. The officers of the Jiujiang branch could not hold it in any longer. They all raised their cups together and drank the tea in one gulp. Suddenly, the hall became quiet. Only Huang Quan looked around vigilantly. The gun on his waist was already opened, and the black handle was in his hand. Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoqiang said, "Huang Quan … … It's okay, Three will not harm us. This thing is very rare, drink it … …"
Although Zhang Xiao Qiang wasn't the first to drink it, he was the first to wake up. Huang Quan didn't hesitate and drank the tea in one gulp. Zhang Xiao Qiang crossed his legs and looked at the teacup in his hands. He didn't see any tea leaves, so he guessed that the silver tea must have melted into the tea. He could feel the fragrance turning into a warm current that nourished his entire body. Not only did it replenish his energy, it also improved his abilities. This thing was similar to the special vegetables that Ba Tu managed in the grasslands, the Dragon Tooth Fruit, and the Snake Scale Fruit. It had a special effect on Evolvers, and the effects were far more than that. This thing had a great effect on injuries. If Yang Ke 'er drank it every day, she might be able to recover even better. The only thing he didn't know was its ability to repair cells.
