Xiao Lingshi stood up, took a map and spread it out on the table. It clearly marked the distribution of minerals in the human-controlled areas of Yongye Continent.
Xiao Lingshi visited several large-scale mines in Shanyin County and said: "These places all belong to the Huaiyang Wu family. Originally, they were very peaceful. Even if there was something secretly, it would always be fine on the surface.
"
Song Zi listened quietly, knowing that there must be something to tell. Just like Wu Zhengnan's nearly a thousand seeds, he didn't know how many sources were involved, but some were allies directly related to Wu Zhengnan's interests, and some had changed hands two or three times.
, most of the aristocratic people still keep themselves safe and will not fish for money from such a frying pan.
"In recent years, perhaps seeing that people around us have been trading with the dark races and making a lot of money, the Wu family has started to think about it, but there are some problems with the types of transactions they choose."
"What's the problem?"
"People, and black crystal iron."
Song Zining narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Black crystal iron?"
The grade of black crystal iron is still higher than that of red crystal iron, and it is an important raw material for making level four force guns. The pattern wiring in the force array is made of this material. If red crystal iron is a strategic material, then black crystal iron
Iron is an important strategic material.
Song Zining immediately grasped a key point: "Black crystal iron is produced in the Wu family's mining area?"
Xiao Lingshi nodded and said: "They have been trying to keep it secret, but when my people were investigating several recent unusual transactions, they discovered a batch of black crystal iron of unknown origin. Both of my two appraisal masters believed that these black crystals
The iron should come from the Wu family's mining area."
Song Zining muttered: "Although the Huaiyang Wu family is only a third-rate force in the entire empire, it is still an aristocratic family after all."
"That's the hard part."
Xiao Lingshi's tone was as casual as a casual chat, but Song Zining knew that this time today was the key. Whether the two parties can cooperate further depends on whether he has the ability to take on this matter, including the matter about Wu Zhengnan
, the benefits given before were just a "no-brainer" when changing Xiao Ling, but once something went wrong, if you want to make his position slightly tilt towards your side, you can't just rely on money.
In the Evernight Continent, Xiao Lingshi has become a popular figure. However, he is from a poor family after all. Once he leaves the Evernight Continent, the gap in status will be highlighted, so he will present this opportunity in front of Song Zining. In the final analysis,
Born was Xiao Lingshi's shortcoming. Other than that, he really had nothing to fear.
"Is there any other information?"
"Hold on."
Xiao Lingshi left for a while and came back with a thick stack of files, which were all related to the Wu family mining area.
This time it was Song Zining's turn to take a closer look, while Xiao Lingshi was waiting at the side. The humble lieutenant general showed no sign of impatience at all, and looked like he could just sit there all day long. But Song Zining page by page
Reading through the pages, it was as if I had no idea a lieutenant general was waiting nearby.
It took a full hour for Song Zining to read through the information. He put all the files away, put his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a long time, and then said: "These mines belong to the third room of the Wu family, so there is still some possibility of operation."
Xiao Lingshi just nodded and said nothing.
Song Zining continued: "I have some connections in Qinlu. It will be difficult to overpower the Wu family's third room, but I can still hold them off for a while. When the Wu family's third room had no time to take care of themselves, we directly intercepted the Wu family's trading caravan.
, and then occupy the mine, as long as we can do this
If we catch the Wu family, we won't have to worry about the Wu family's third room not submitting. At that time, as long as we are willing to return one-third of the mining interests, the Wu family's third room will have no choice but to obey. As for Wu Zhengnan, we couldn't do it back then.
If you talk about it, I think they will be very aware of current affairs."
Xiao Lingshi smiled and said, "Why is it so difficult for the powerful Song clan to deal with a third member of the Wu family?"
Song Zining said calmly: "If the Gaoling Song family really wants to deal with the Wu family, it is like killing ants. How can it be difficult? The reason why it is a bit difficult is because it is not the Song family who is dealing with the third brother of the Wu family, but me, Song Zining, who is dealing with the third member of the Wu family."
Whether or not they borrowed the power of the Song clan, the difference is huge.
Xiao Lingshi finally moved. He took a deep look at Song Zining and said, "It's true that my eyesight is stupid." A dark look flashed in his eyes, which meant that the unknown seventh son of Song clan had never been interested in him.
The previous plan to deal with Wu Zhengnan was all based on personal strength? Knowing that this time he could not directly borrow power from the Song clan, Xiao Lingshi not only did not feel disappointed, but had more expectations.
Song Zining smiled faintly and did not continue on this topic, but said: "The key now is, what if we raid the Wu family's mines and caravans but fail to find the black crystal iron?"
"What do you think should be done?"
Song Zining said calmly: "As long as we don't let them discover our identity. Even if we are discovered, it doesn't matter. Just make those people speechless. But to do this in Yongye Continent, I need people. Xiao
General, there will always be people like this under you, right?"
Xiao Lingshi naturally understood what Song Zining meant, and immediately said: "I do have some people on my hands. Their loyalty is not a problem and their abilities are quite good. You can use them with confidence. They have no origins in the various records of the empire.
However, Seventh Young Master, do you plan to go there personally for the robbery raid?"
Song Zining smiled and said: "Of course you have to do such a big thing yourself to feel at ease."
Xiao Lingshi said: "There is an old saying that a son with a lot of money cannot sit down in the palace. The seventh son has a high status, so he really wants to take risks?"
"If the son of a rich man speaks of a high-ranking family, then it will be a help in the beginning, but in the end it will only be a restraint. You still have to rely on your own hands to earn what you want. Success or failure, shouldering it on one shoulder, isn't it better than fighting for the little extra?
The shadow comes with freedom."
Xiao Lingshi was silent for a moment and sighed softly, "Seven Young Masters have great ambitions, which makes me feel ashamed. After I got to this position, all I thought about was how to maintain it. Hehe, the momentum I had when I was young is gradually being worn away.
Gone."
Song Zining said: "General Xiao has long-term considerations and is prepared for danger in times of peace. He will definitely make further progress in the future."
Xiao Lingshi smiled and said, "Then let me borrow the good words from the Seventh Young Master."
The two chatted for a while and finalized the details of the operation before Song Zining left.
When Song Zining walked out of the Conquest Fort, he just saw an aerostat rising into the sky at the end of his sight. Far away, the emblem of the Wei family in the Far East was still clearly visible. During this long time, he didn't know that Wei Potian was wasting his time.
What? Song Zining looked at the aerostat, sneered, and turned away.
On the floating boat, Wei Potian was feasting and drinking with his entourage. At this moment, he was feeling drunk. He had been full of lofty ideals all his life. He just felt that the world was big, but who else could it be?
Even the few mature figures who were sent by the Wei family around Wei Potian, looking back at the process of doing things, they felt incredible. If Xiao Lingshi was so talkative, how could he get the reputation of a "black-faced Xiao"? But Wei Potian was the only one.
When I asked for something, he agreed without hesitation.
These people only knew that there must be a reason, but no one could guess what it was. Among the entire team, perhaps only Wei Potian himself felt that Xiao Lingshi was impressed by his momentum, and that he was so impressed by his own aura that he would abandon me.
Whose thoughts are more prosperous.
Of course, even if Wei Potian knew that it was actually Song Zining who used half of Chen's mine's interests as a stepping stone, and a series of subsequent cooperation paved the way for Xiao Lingshi to make up his mind to completely abandon Wu Zhengnan, the eldest prince Wei would definitely
He will not recognize Song Zining's role.
At this moment, neither Song Zining nor Wei Potian knew that the two armies had vaguely surrounded Qianye and the batch of seeds he had rescued, and they were about to launch an attack when it got late at night.
Of course, Xiao Lingshi could not hide this move of moving troops across regions. However, the lieutenant general from a poor family had no intention of stopping it, nor did he reveal the news to Wei Potian or Song Zining. In his mind, if those seeds were to be
It would be best to disappear. These people are just a thorn in the flesh of the expeditionary force. As for the aftermath, the 7th Division is definitely doomed, but let the 15th Division who took action make more profits.
Once the incident at the Conquest Fort was over, Song Zining sent several of his followers to find Qianye and tell him the latest progress. He took a few of his confidants and headed to another city overnight. There was also an important commodity there.
Waiting for him, must deal with it immediately.
Dusk gradually fell, and Qianye stood on the sentry tower of the town, looking into the distance. The horizon was already blurry, with mist rising faintly. It was just after two o'clock in the afternoon, and dusk was approaching in the Evernight Continent. Fortunately, the sky was clear
The full moon has gradually risen, and the moonlight is shining. People with good eyesight can barely see a few hundred meters.
Qianye's pupils were faintly dark red, and his night vision ability had been activated. The Eternal Night Continent took off its disguise in his eyes, and all its secrets were revealed. At the end of his sight, Qianye could see the rising dust.
It is slightly different from ordinary night fog. It is the black smoke and dust raised by the moving trucks.
A large-scale army is moving this way, and it will appear under the town wall in less than an hour.
Two guard captains from Far East Heavy Industries stood on the left of Qianye, and on the right stood a young man and woman, both not much older than Qianye, only in their early twenties. They were all first-level soldiers, and the man was handsome and the woman was.
Qingli, they are all good products that can be sold at a big price among the vampires.
They are half-brothers and sisters. The boy is named Wu Shiqing and the girl is named Wu Shiying. Originally, they were both from a declining noble clan. In order to seek a future, they ventured to Yongye Continent. As a result, not long after arriving in Yongye, they were killed.
The slave hunter under Wu Zhengnan captured it and planned to sell it to the Vampire Clan as seed.
Under Qianye's command, they were of course no longer goods. After a few days of training, the brothers and sisters soon showed their abilities beyond their peers. So Qianye promoted them and temporarily took charge of commanding a group of soldiers.
The two fourth-level guard captains looked hard, but could not see anything except the vast night. But looking at Qianye's solemn expression, they knew that there was probably something in that direction, but it was too far away to detect with their own eyesight.
That's all.
At this moment, Wu Shiqing suddenly shouted, "There are a lot of people coming over there!"
