Chapter 156: The Connector Hank
"Have you ever seen the scene of a war-torn country?" Shang Shen's body was slightly hunched, and he lowered his head and looked back quietly while walking.
Behind Shangshen were Mo Jiu and his group. Now they were shuttled through the streets of Huanshi. Huanshi is located in the central and western part of the entire Dalie Kingdom. This is a city that is not surrounded by the sea. The only thing connected to the sea is a river.
Mo Jiu forgot the name of this river, but thanks to this river, they were able to ride the dragon beard whale and directly enter the Huanshi City.
As for their current appearance, we have to talk about Shangshen’s understanding of war. He said that because the Dali Kingdom is in a state of division, the people have no hope, so under heavy pressure, the people should be as hunched over and confused as if they were walking corpses under his heavy pressure.
Well, what should I say? This may be the kind of person who is more thoughtful about the master!
"But why do I feel like you are more like a beggar like this, especially when we are all wearing shabby cloaks. Well, or it is more appropriate to be like cultists." Wen Bo was a little amused and crying. Who knew how the business ginseng had lived for so many years.
Hai Feifei didn't want to wear that kind of shabby cloak, so she bought a gauze skirt and a hat by herself, which was to cover up the characteristics of the Rim Demon Clan on her body, but her delicate figure easily attracted the attention of passers-by.
"You are too nervous. Why don't you be like me, acting like a local bun. When others look down on you, it will be as dark as the light." Mo Jiu clenched his nose and looked around and saw that everything was novel.
Hai Shaoyu covered his face, "You are really a rustic bun!"
Mo Jiu was too lazy to pay attention to him, but continued, "We actually stayed in Zhenyuan City with Chu Yu. At that time, the war with the fleet of Daliguo was about to break out, and no one in the entire Hua Kingdom thought we could win. At that time, the people in Zhenyuan City were despair, but even so, they were not as exaggerated as you."
Shang Shen opened his mouth and stopped talking. He looked up and found that he was really thinking too much. Although the civilians around him were all full of thoughts, they did not look like they were hopeless.
"It seems that I'm really thinking too much, but... why did the guy who connected the phone said... Forget it, let's talk about it then."
Wen Bo heard Shangshen’s mutter and frowned: “Is someone telling you?”
Shang Guan nodded, "Yes, he is the leader in charge of the espionage work in the city. His name is Hank, and he is a Dalien native."
"Da Lie? How did you instigate a Da Lie to help the spy of Hua Guo?" Chu Qingxue was stunned for a moment and asked with some concern. In her impression, the people of Da Lie seemed to be very proud. They all said that we are the most powerful country in the world, the greatest country, etc. How could they help Hua Guo people?
Shangguan commented: "Hank was originally a person who helped the nobles do dirty work. Speaking of which, it was thanks to him that we were able to find the location of Mr. Zhen."
"What do you mean?" Mo Jiu was a little curious.
"The Kingdom of Dalie attaches great importance to the development of technology, and this emphasis is all-round. A long time ago, the Kingdom of Dalie established many development teams, including those responsible for the study of armor, those responsible for the study of human body strengthening, weapons, and even those researching war pets and vehicles!"
Everyone was shocked. I had never heard of it before. Now I heard it, it was true! The development of Daliguo in science and technology has been at least decades or even hundreds of years ahead of Huaguo.
Mo Jiu scratched his cheek and looked at everyone's surprised expression. Why did the master never mention this? Could it be... because he didn't take these things seriously?
I heard the Shangshen continue, "You don't have to be too surprised. Although there are many research aspects, it is mostly because different research is mastered by different nobles, and scientific research is a loss of money before the real results are achieved. Some nobles can't stand it after a long time, and then they secretly deduct funds and even secretly stop some research. So in the end, the only thing that really produces the results is armor!"
"So that's it!" Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hank was a nobleman who was doing dirty work before, and that nobleman was responsible for funding research on human body reinforcement. We have said before that according to the rules of the Dali Kingdom, no research will be handed over to the hands of the same nobleman, so there are other nobles who are also funding this research."
Hai Shaoyu seemed to have thought of something and smiled: "So there was an infighting between the two nobles?"
Shangshen also smiled and said, "You are right. This is a feature of the Dali Kingdom. There are always internal struggles between the nobles. Hank is more unlucky. In fact, the research on human body strengthening has achieved results. But at that time, the two nobles had already stopped funding, so the researcher wanted to hand over the research results directly to the royal family in exchange for benefits."
"Then what?"
"Then the matter was leaked, and the two nobles sent their own troops to do dirty work to grab the results. Well, let's not talk about the process. Anyway, the end result was that everyone died together, and the other party's troops and Hank's troops were all dead, and even the bachelor in charge of research died. Hank, as the only survivor, naturally brought all the information back."
Wen Bo sneered and continued: "Let me guess, is he being betrayed?"
Shang Guan nodded, "After the news leaked, it not only attracted the competition between the two nobles, but also the royal family. In desperation, the two nobles reached an agreement without discussion, pointing their subordinates as spies from Xiong Wu Kingdom and Hua Kingdom, who came to steal information, so they betrayed Hank."
"What about the information?" Chu Qingxue obviously found the key point directly.
Shang Chan shrugged, "According to Hank, it was destroyed, but no one can confirm that he told the truth, but this matter was determined by Young Master Zhou Hao in the end, so no one asked."
Mo Jiu nodded suddenly. Needless to say, it must be because Zhou Hao knew that there were no results of strengthening his body in the future, so he believed in Hank.
Shangshen then said, "The reason we were able to take Hank in is because the two nobles not only framed him as spies, but also silenced their family. Hank is also a stubborn person. He spent three years finding an opportunity to kill the two nobles. Then he defected to us. Simply put, it is the kind of thinking that you say I am a spy, and I will show you the least!"
Mo Jiu laughed, Hank was probably an interesting person.
"It is precisely because of this identity that Hank also knows a little about other research projects of the Royal Family of the Dali Kingdom. It is precisely with his guidance that we found the Institute of Master Zhen!"
