Pirates of the First Empire

Neither the Beiming family nor the Xuanyuan family knew much about the Umbrella Group and the "Overlord Mansion" behind it, and it could even be said that they had no knowledge of it.

The reason is also very simple. The rise of the Umbrella Group is too short. For families like them that have at least a thousand years of history, they always subconsciously think that only the forces that can be passed down for a long time can be regarded as the real rise. The power on the table...

But the fact is really the case. You know, the so-called five major families of the Kingdom of Flowers, in terms of history, have existed for a much longer time than the world government, but it is useless. The frog in the well can't change the fact that you are just a "frog"!

What's more, although many "special products" of the Umbrella Group have been "smuggled" into Xihai by businessmen, but there are so many bases in Xihai, the smuggled things are like throwing pebbles into the sea, and there is no disturbance at all. ...

As an internal force in the relatively closed Kingdom of Flowers, it is naturally difficult for the five major families to notice the relevant information. The time when they started their investigation had to be the time when King Ji Qianyuan sent out the Imperial Forest Army. The extermination of tens of thousands of horses in the local area is incredible for the five major families. You must know that the army that has been passively bullied is the army under the king's banner. This reversal is very sudden, but it is also very worrying. .

The five major families and many other hidden top forces, including the "Tuna faction", the leader of the Qigong style, also started to investigate the Imperial Forest Army. It is not until the elites of the Royal Forest Army who are born as dignitaries, big and small, are all domesticated into their own "dead soldiers". Therefore, the news about the new weapons will soon no longer be a secret...

And according to the information received by the five major families, all the blame points to the minister of the Ministry of Industry who went to sea in person a few years ago, the old head of the Lu family, Lu Xiude. that scene.

……

"So, what do you mean... the faction that Master Lu mentioned is also the faction that the Lu Family Luxuan joined?"

Xuanyuan Dongliu quickly realized that the reason why he didn't think of this power in the first place was not because he didn't know about it. On the contrary, just now, when he was at Lu's house, what his grandfather emphasized was that This force, and even Lu Xuan, the grandson of Master Lu, joined it quietly.

This is what surprised Xuanyuan Dongliu the most. He and Lu Xuan are the same age, and they are relatives, so they naturally understand each other. He also knows the character and talent of his old cousin very well. It is not an exaggeration to say that the eyes are above the top, and it can even be regarded as "rebellious". Even if this old cousin is a high-ranking heir to the position of the head of the Lu family, it is impossible for the Lu family under normal circumstances. He should easily let him leave the Lu family and the Kingdom of Flowers.

But that is the fact. Even when they were communicating with Lu Xiude just now, the old cousin called back. Although Xuanyuan Dongliu and Bei Mingxu didn't know exactly what they talked about, they also knew that Lu Xiude It's really not fooling them. That guy Lu Xuan has indeed joined a powerful force outside the Country of Flowers.

And the reason why Xuanyuan Dongliu didn't think of that power in the first place just now is actually excusable. As people from a thousand-year-old family, they often don't just listen to one-sided opinions when judging issues. Every decision they make determines the development direction of the entire family, and they are responsible for it.

As for this mysterious external force that is willing to help the Kingdom of Flowers, Xuanyuan Dongliu still maintains his attitude towards this, just by listening to Lu Xiude's one-sided words, even if he is his grandfather. Channels, get the information from the outside world, and then it will be clear at a glance how credible what my grandfather said.

In fact, Xuanyuan Dongliu also understood that, as his grandfather, Lu Xiude had no motive or need to deceive him at all, but the main reason was that what Lu Xiude said was indeed too exaggerated for them, so subconsciously, Xuanyuan Dongliu couldn't believe what the other party said. Of course, isn't it because his and others' vision is too narrow?

It's just that everyone is a "noble", so it is reasonable to say that Bei Mingxu's thinking is abnormal. Shouldn't the other party have the same thinking as his own, at least confirm the information, and then speak out his decision?

No, could it be...

"Does the Beiming family already have information about the other party? Or, you already knew it was them..." Xuanyuan Dongliu thought of a possibility, but it stands to reason that the Beiming family, and even the so-called Shouldn't the "hidden family" be more closed than their Xuanyuan family?Even they haven't got the information yet, how could the other party know...

What's more, if the other party already knew about these things, why bother to find the Lu family like him?It doesn't make sense.

"It's not what you think, my Beiming family doesn't have the ability to predict... But, I do know something about the faction that dared to sell weapons to our king, the so-called Umbrella Group! "

"By the way, there are some things that my family and elders may not have noticed. The reason why I have Solo's understanding is that I know it from places such as docks and ports during my travels in the kingdom. Of course, I first learned about it. I didn't take it seriously, after all you know it, it's too exaggerated, so I don't dare to believe it casually."

"If you say, before Mr. Lu told us about this force, I wouldn't believe this kind of hearsay and gossip, but it's different now. You know, the businessmen, vagrants, black market hunters, What the killer heard was even more exaggerated than what Mr. Lu said, but it doesn't matter, as long as the other party really has the level of strength that Mr. Lu said, then..."

As he said that, Bei Mingxu also recalled the process of traveling the entire kingdom. As a kingdom of 5000 million human beings gathered together, how huge the country was established, but now it has become fragmented and never peaceful.

However, thinking of the fact that the businessmen who came across the sea, the ronin warriors who wandered around, and the hunters and killers in a hurry in the black market all knew something about this "Umbrella Technology Group". The minimum scale is definitely not small...

"Umbrella Group?" Xuanyuan Dongliu asked thoughtfully. Just now, what his grandfather Lu Xiude told the two of them was about this faction. According to his old man, this faction has more than one hundred thousand people. The army, and it still has stronger weapons and equipment than the armored Imperial Forest Army of the Kingdom of Flowers...

If it is really such a force, it is naturally worth joining it. Among other things, the [-] army alone, if there is enough ammunition, under the cover of several rounds of firepower, the millions of them in the country of flowers It is estimated that the army will disappear directly in the whole world. This is the desperate and terrifying gap brought about by weapons and equipment.

"No, Overlord's Mansion!" Bei Mingxu actually didn't know much, but all kinds of news, including the old man Lu, had already said that the Umbrella Group was just a subsidiary force of this force, and the real main body was An existence called "Bafu"...

That Lu Xuan from the Lu family joined is the force behind his group. If someone who doesn't know it, may choose the Umbrella Group, which is more beautiful on the surface, rich in wealth and powerful in firepower, but Bei Mingxu knows that the real The core of the power should be hidden behind the forces.
