After Song Zining left Chen's house, he came to a courtyard in the south of the city. This was his place to stay in the city. The original owner belonged to a distant branch of the Song Dynasty's vassal family. The house was not too big, but it was very practical and had the charm of the Evernight Continent.
The typical style of local architecture, with high walls and deep trenches, looks like a small fortress in times of crisis.
When Song Zining walked into the side hall, the two warrior-level experts were already waiting inside. He ordered someone to bring two force sealing boxes, and each of them presented one to them, saying, "If it weren't for these two people, this would have been impossible."
Things wouldn't have gone so smoothly this time. This is a small thank you gift. Please say hello to Uncle Ninth for me when you get back."
The two strong men stood up quickly, and the older one said: "It would be good if we have the opportunity to contribute a little bit to the Seventh Young Master. Master Ninth has already told us before this trip that we must do our best. All of them.
Why should the Seventh Young Master be so polite to people from the Song Dynasty?"
As they talked, they wanted to push away the gift box.
However, Song Zining said sternly: "It's just a small courtesy, not to get acquainted with the two of you, but to show due respect. This is a necessary etiquette, otherwise, where would I be as a guest of the Song clan? Even if I come from the direct lineage, what's the point?
How can you drive truly strong people like you two around at will? Uncle Ninth thinks highly of me and is willing to take care of me, and I need you two to treat me as a friend so that we can get things done."
After hearing such words, the two strong men felt happy and no longer refused. After they returned to their room, they opened the packaging box and saw a piece of original energy level black crystal placed neatly inside.
It's satisfying.
The two of them had serious errands with the Song clan in Yongye Continent, and they just took a small detour when they came to Shanyin County. They only spent three days here with the Seventh Young Master, and a piece of black crystal was paid into their account. It was such a relaxing and pleasant extra money.
Even if they have warrior-level cultivation, it is rare. They have had little contact with Song Zining in the past. This time, they only spent a few days together and found that the seventh young master was easy-going and kind, and treated people with sincerity. In contrast, Song Zining
The other young masters and ladies seemed a bit stingy.
Qianye has been busy training those seeds these past few days. These people are all carefully selected. Their talents, physiques and understanding are very good. After only a few days of training, they are already very similar, and there are many in them.
Young girls also have the potential to become warriors.
Even though Qianye had expected it, he was still a little surprised to see their progress. If the current training intensity is maintained, a team of about 400 people can be established in two or three months. This size is already equivalent to a
If they have enough weapons and equipment, their combat power will be no less than that of the regular army of the empire. Over time, more of them will ignite the Force nodes and become combat soldiers. By then, the overall combat power may even exceed that of the regular army.
In the early morning, the training on the school field has begun. Under a few dim Force street lights, young men and women are running in circles, performing the most basic endurance training. The soldiers gathered at the other end of the school field, using various
Equipment for strength training.
At this time, Wei Cheng's hurried figure appeared on the sidelines. Qianye couldn't help but look slightly moved. He came really early today.
Wei Cheng walked to Qianye and lowered his voice and said: "Master Qian, there have been a lot of suspicious people in the area in the past two days. Our people just caught one last night."
Qianye raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Have you found out the calendar?"
"That's the problem. They're from the 7th Division, the kind with military status."
Qianye looked at Wei Cheng who looked worried. Although he had previously let him know that these people were seeds and had entrusted him with the handling of prisoners of war and red crystal iron ore, he did not clearly tell him these things.
The exact source. However, Qianye didn't hide anything. With Wei Cheng's shrewdness, he had already understood it tacitly, so his worried expression seems to have appeared too late.
Qianye didn't intend to go around in circles with him and asked directly: "Will they come to attack Far East Heavy Industries' industries?"
Wei Cheng's face changed slightly, and then he said: "Of course you can't do it openly, but there are many ways to do it secretly. For example, if a bandit on the move happens to attack the Wei family's mine, no one can do this.
I can’t say anything.”
Qianye nodded and said, "I need weapons, a lot of weapons."
Wei Cheng suddenly looked troubled and said cautiously: "Although the defense area of the 7th Division is a little far away from Duanhe City, the relationship between the expeditionary forces in this theater is pretty good. In fact, there is not much threat outside at the moment.
movement……"
Qianye narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Cheng, and understood what he meant, that is, he was not willing to completely offend the expeditionary army for Qianye. No matter how powerful the Wei family was, it was in the upper continent. Far East Heavy Industry Duanhe City
Of course, the strength of this branch is far inferior to that of the expeditionary force. Once a conflict occurs, it will be Far East Heavy Industries that will suffer the immediate loss.
But if Wei Cheng had not accepted the batch of red crystal iron ore without any qualms, and if Wei Potian had not sent a messenger, Qianye would still understand that a manager did not dare to make the decision on such a major matter. But since Wei Cheng at that time
Dare to accept the stolen goods, and knowing that Wei Potian will come over for this matter in the next few days, his attitude seems very strange.
Qianye had already become suspicious at this time, and did not intend to give the old fox a chance to evade. He said calmly: "The equipment you owe me must be brought immediately. Don't say that you don't have enough reserves in your warehouse!"
Wei Cheng's smile became more helpless: "Master, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"If I don't put you in trouble, you will still be in trouble when Prince Wei arrives. It's impossible for me to take all these people to the wilderness, which is no different from letting them die. Tonight, I want to see the equipment, I
The things you paid for must be delivered to me immediately!" Qianye said these words coldly, then ignored Wei Cheng and continued to supervise the training of these young warriors.
Wei Cheng had no choice but to say, "Master, be careful" and hurried away.
Qianye looked at Wei Cheng's back, called a soldier, and gave a few instructions. He was a former hunter who was good at tracking. Qianye asked him to follow him from a distance to see whether Wei Cheng was returning to the city or going.
elsewhere.
In retrospect, Wei Cheng was enthusiastic when he got the red crystal iron ore, but then he delayed until he had not completed the delivery of weapons and equipment. Now he wants Qianye to release these seeds, or at least leave this stronghold.
A small town with barriers is a bit unjustifiable.
At this moment, the headquarters of the 7th Division was covered with clouds, and there would be a downpour at any time. In the conference room, Wu Zhengnan stood with his hands behind his hands, staring at the map on the wall, silent. There were seven or eight people sitting in the conference room.
They are all Wu Zhengnan's close confidants. The core members of the entire 7th Division are here.
There was a dead silence in the room, no one spoke, it was so quiet that one could even hear each other's heartbeats.
Finally, Wu Zhengnan spoke slowly and asked, "Is there any news from the mine?"
A colonel staff officer said: "Yes. They have been delaying the delivery of the latest batch of goods. They have found all kinds of weird reasons. No matter how much our people urge them, it is of no use. The old guy Chen Guangyu doesn't know
Where did he hide? He has never shown his face since the beginning."
Wu Zhengnan suddenly asked: "Where is Chen Guangyu's family? Have you met them?"
The colonel's staff member was startled for a moment, and then he looked grim and said, "I haven't seen any, not a single one. The old guy's cousin is in charge of a nearby mine, but it is said that he doesn't know his whereabouts."
Wu Zhengnan nodded and said: "So, something has happened at Chen's mine. Chen Guangyu has either been arrested or has escaped."
Qi Sicheng, who was in charge of this area, was in disbelief and said: "Isn't this impossible? The old guy has some background and is closely related to General Lu of the Expeditionary Force. Otherwise, how could he get three mines in Shanyin County?
"
Wu Zhengnan said in a low voice: "That's what shows that things are not simple this time. Someone is targeting us."
Qi Sicheng said in confusion: "This is the Evernight Continent. Who dares to overwhelm our expeditionary force?"
Another colonel was unconvinced and said: "So what if we have those aristocratic families above? It's not that easy to move our expeditionary force, right? How can the adults in the military tolerate such nonsense? If that's really the case.
, who will be willing to work for the empire in the future!"
Wu Zhengnan said calmly: "It's too late to say this now. What do you think of the news sent by the 15th Division?"
The 15th Division is a field division, and its positional defense line is located between the two defense areas of Heiliu City and Duanhe City. The 7th Division has lost something. Of course, it is impossible for the 7th Division to directly drive the troops into the adjacent theater to search with open fire. The person responsible for this
The colonel responsible for the incident sent out a small number of scouts and sent secret letters to several closely related divisions. Now it is the 15th Division that has the news.
"It has been confirmed that the batch of seeds is hidden in a black stone mine of Far East Heavy Industries. The young man who robbed our things is named Qian and is now in the mine. The 15th Division got the information from within Far East Heavy Industries.
Commander Zhang said that he could send out a group, but because the mine was within the defense area of the 10th Division of Duanhe City and had to pay tolls, and it involved the Wei family in the Far East, his share of all future transactions would have to be
Increase it by 10%.”
This time, Wu Zhengnan's face didn't look so good. Obviously, this 10% profit was definitely not a small amount.
Wu Zhengnan's face was gloomy, and he walked back and forth a few times before saying: "Promise him! But tell Zhang, this matter must be done neatly and neatly, and it must be solved within one day. In addition... no one will be left alive!"
"
Qi Sicheng was taken aback and said hurriedly: "General, that batch of seeds is worth a lot of money!"
"It's better to lose all your money than to be caught and die without a burial place. Let's do it like this!"
Qi Sicheng didn't dare to persuade him anymore, but looking at his face, he was obviously very heartbroken. Fifty of the seeds in that batch were considered his personal investment, and this time, a lot of the Qi family's past profits were included.
In the conference room, there were several people with the same expression as Qi Sicheng.
Wu Zhengnan pondered for a moment and then said: "However, the person named Zhang is not very reassuring. We will also send a group there, and let the first group go!"
The first regiment is the most powerful regiment under Wu Zhengnan. Although it is said to be a regiment, it actually has as many as 2,000 people. It is well-equipped and is no worse than the main army of the empire. The dispatch of this combat unit shows that Wu Zhengnan has made up his mind.
All traces related to this batch of seeds and this transaction must be erased.
Qi Sicheng is also a thoughtful person. After suffering from the heavy loss, he also remembered the coincidence of the sudden disappearance of Chen Guangyu's family. Suddenly, a large and heavy shadow fell on his heart.
The colonel staff officer who mobilized the first regiment did not go out for long before he ran back. As soon as he entered the door, he said anxiously: "General, it's not good! A group of people came from outside the city, claiming to be people from the Wei family. They have blocked the city gate and are not allowed to do so.
Anyone came out of the city. Our brothers had some conflicts with them, and a dozen of them were injured."
