Chapter 268 270 A group of old acquaintances came
"Aren't you afraid that we have other intentions towards you?" Xia Kai asked in surprise when he saw Ming Tianlei, who had just been extremely wary of them, change his attitude so quickly.
"As long as you can take me to the capital, I will gladly forge weapons for you." As for the issue of life safety, Ming Tianlei never worried about it. After all, he was very confident in his skills in making weapons. In today's world, it goes without saying how popular powerful weapons are. These people don't look like fools, and they naturally know that he is more valuable if he is alive.
"What kind of weapon can you forge? Is it better than this one?" Wang Qirui swung his usual long whip in front of Ming Tianlei and looked at him expectantly.
Ming Tianlei looked at the long whip in front of him. The whip was cold and hard, and seemed to be made of metal. The tip of the whip was conical and sharp. The person who forged this weapon was very skilled, and he had never seen this material before. Ming Tianlei felt a sense of crisis in his heart. Could there be a skilled weapon forger among this group of people?
"I am unable to forge a weapon of this quality for the time being." Ming Tianlei said somewhat discouragedly.
"Then what are you talking about..." Wang Qirui complained somewhat disappointedly, "Arui, go to the street and ask for some information to see if there is any movement at the city gate?" Rong Xianxian interrupted Wang Qirui before he could finish.
"Sister Rong, we agreed before we went north that we don't want anyone who would hinder us." Wang Qirui said frankly.
"Then he has to recover from his injury first. We'll talk about whether he can become our new team member later. Now let him recover from his injury first." Rong Xianxian waved her hand, and everyone stepped out consciously.
Rong Xianxian used a screen to separate a small room in the living room and placed a single folding bed in it. This became Ming Tianlei's temporary residence.
Not long after Rong Xianxian and the others left, the sound of orderly footsteps came, and neat rows of troops ran over. The officer in the front shouted towards the city gate, "Open the city gate."
The troops were divided into two sides, and two majestic military vehicles slowly drove out from the middle. The two military vehicles drove out from the four wide-open city gates, and were guarded by fully armed soldiers with guns in front, behind, left and right.
A large convoy slowly drove in outside the city gate, with military vehicles, tanks, and armored vehicles forming a long queue.
The group that came was the mercenary convoy led by Ning Qingtian.
When Wen Qingming saw someone coming out to greet him, he immediately got out of the car and met that person.
"The chief sent me to pick up Chief of Staff Wen. Thank you for your hard work along the way." The man saluted Wen Qingming and said.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. Please come and visit, Commander Min. Commander Li is too polite." Wen Qingming immediately returned the greeting.
Li Zhanlun, the highest commander of the Taijingan Security Zone, led the 47th Army and served as the army commander with the rank of lieutenant general. Both his rank and power were much higher than Wen Qingming's. The reason they sent people out to greet him was purely out of respect for the military.
"Chief of Staff Wen, who are those people behind your team? They are so slow and don't look like soldiers in the army." The military's telescopes can see very far distances. About half an hour ago, Li Zhanlun received the news that Wen Qingming and his men were about to arrive.
"Behind us are civilian teams that have followed us all the way. They somehow found out that our team was returning to Beijing, so they followed us all the way. In fact, it has nothing to do with us. If they want to enter the city, they have to follow your rules." Wen Qingming responded. Before, when they set out from Chongzhou and arrived in Binyang, the size of the civilian team had become much smaller. However, when they stopped in the Anping Safety Zone a few days ago, the size of the civilian team behind them had increased several times when they set off. Wen Qingming was quite speechless.
"Okay, I understand." He turned to the young officer beside him and instructed, "Go and inform the guards on duty at the city gate today that the workload has increased today. Ask them to dispatch personnel over and make sure to check carefully to ensure the safety of the city."
"Yes." The officer took the order and left.
"Who is this..." Min Haoze looked at Ning Qingtian and asked hesitantly. Wen Qingming and his party traveled all the way from the capital to Chongzhou without stopping in the safe zone. Before the end of the world, Ning Qingtian was not from the military system, so Min Haoze didn't know Ning Qingtian at all.
"This is Ning Qingtian, Captain Ning. He is a member of the Ning family in Beijing and the leader of the mercenary team appointed by the military to assist me in carrying out this mission." Wen Qingming gave a brief introduction.
"Hahaha, hello, hello. Captain Ning is so young, but he holds an important position. You are really a young and promising person!" Min Haoze laughed and patted Ning Qingtian's shoulder vigorously.
Although Ning Qingtian is the official leader of this team, Min Haoze and his men are naturally clear about who actually has the final say. The Ning family is quite powerful in the capital, but when the military rank reaches the level of Commander Li, the family power is no longer something he takes seriously.
Ning Qingtian had been injured in the shoulder before and it had not yet healed. When he patted her, it felt excruciatingly painful. She gritted her teeth and exchanged a few words with the two of them, then quickly retreated to the back.
"Chief of Staff Wen, the commander has already arranged a place for you to stay and has asked someone to prepare it. The commander said that everyone has worked hard along the way and what you need most now is rest. After you have rested, the commander will host a banquet at the headquarters in the evening to welcome you." Min Haoze said in a polite tone.
"I should have paid my respects to Commander Li immediately, but since the commander is considerate, I will respectfully obey your order and thank you in person when we are at the banquet." Wen Qingming replied.
Wen Qingming was welcomed into the Taijing Security Zone by Min Haoze. The civilian team following them was stopped outside the city. They were registered, checked, paid fees one by one, and then entered the city.
"Sir, we still have to check the vehicles later. What should we do with our stuff?" Ye Lanxin's men asked, pointing at a pile of guns under his feet.
"What are you afraid of? It's already this time. Why are you afraid of a few guns? We got them in a fair way. We didn't rob them. Maybe there are good things we can exchange for them in the safe zone over here." Ye Lanxin rolled her peach blossom eyes and glared at her men.
"After all, it's a gun. Is it really okay? Sir, do you want us to prepare something in advance or hide it?" the subordinate said worriedly.
"No need. This broken gun has no power. They won't care. Even if they want to, let them take it away. It's not of much use." Ye Lanxin said indifferently.
"Yue Ge, this safe zone is very large. Maybe Xianxian is here. When we go in later, let's look for her carefully, okay?" Zhang Xiaoxiao said softly.
Shang Yuege frowned slightly, staring out the window in a daze, and replied perfunctorily without turning his head, "Yeah."
