Regardless of whether they believed it or not, everyone was refreshed when they saw Song Zining speaking so firmly. The presence or absence of the Eternal Flame is really the essential difference. If he stayed in a neutral place forever, then everyone would not have to do anything. Honestly
Just return to the empire. But leaving after staying for three days is another matter. Even without Song Zining, many people present could come up with countermeasures.
Everyone was discussing quickly at the moment, and after a while they came to the conclusion that all the empire's personnel and fleets would withdraw from Nan Qingcheng, and retreat three hundred kilometers to avoid the front of Yong Ye's army. Wait until the Eternal Flame leaves, and then slowly move forward with Yong Ye.
deal with.
The only pity is that the space channel has been slowly stabilizing in the past few days, and it looks like another group of people will be sent in in a few days. But at this time, the Yongye Allied Forces arrived, and the quota for this second batch was...
I can only watch as it falls into the hands of Yong Ye.
However, looking at the current status of the space channel, I think it will be available for some time. The families are not particularly anxious, especially the families that have been included in the second batch of lists. Not everyone can go to the maelstrom.
, according to the derivation of Tianjishu, this passage is still very dangerous. Unless you are a strong person above the level of a warrior, you will never return after entering.
In addition, Song Zining also revealed a very important piece of information for free, that is, if you enter the maelstrom, young people will get more benefits. But those who are already in their 70s and 80s, it is best not to enter, otherwise they will probably never come back.
This news can be said to be extremely important. Some families originally thought that there were a lot of quotas and planned to send a few elders and the like to protect their talented children. After hearing what Song Zining said, they all gave up this idea. For anyone
For aristocratic families, elders are rare resources, and no elder would enter the maelstrom even if he knew he was going to die. After all, he didn't know what was going on at the other end of the passage, and his death might be in vain.
If these elders are deducted, the number of places to enter the maelstrom will be quite generous. Although those who enter later will have fewer opportunities to explore for the first time, they will also have fewer unknown dangers. Many low-level families prefer to seek stability, as long as
If the disciples can come out of the maelstrom alive, it will be a big gain. If you can bring some special products with you, that would be the best. As for whether you make more or less, it doesn't matter.
After the plan was decided, each family immediately started taking action. In just two hours, the empire's camp outside Tingchao City was completed. A large number of trucks gathered into a giant steel dragon and began to retreat towards Nan Qingcheng. A moment later.
A moment later, the Imperial fleet was loaded with important personnel and supplies and returned to Nan Qing City. Throughout Nan Qing City, the Empire also began to count supplies, load trucks, and prepare to evacuate.
Seeing the imperial army marching in a hurry, Ji Rui was both happy and worried. What he was happy about was that the empire was finally leaving, and Nan Qingcheng was still his world after all. What he was worried about was whether he would surrender to the empire. Although he lost his freedom,
There are more restrictions, but it has changed into a vast world. The layout of this neutral land is still small and cannot accommodate more people.
In Nanqing City, the workshops of the major trading houses are working as hard as ever. The workshops set up by Song Zining have not been moved, and work continues as usual. These trading houses have long been accustomed to wars and attacks between major forces. Which force is in charge?
Boss, anyway
They all pay those taxes, neither more nor less. Each force has also formed a tacit understanding with each trading house. No matter how fierce the fight is, they will not touch the business of the trading company. Moreover, the large trading companies themselves have heavy troops, and they are quite large.
You cannot easily offend a force.
In the eyes of the merchants, the Empire and Yongye were the same forces, but on a larger scale.
Song Zining laid an excellent industrial foundation for Nan Qingcheng. The large and small workshops here are all designed to build one thing: floating battleships. In a neutral land, the demand for floating battleships is endless. It can be said that manufacturing
You can sell as many as you want. Moreover, the quality of the floating battleships built by Ningyuan Heavy Industry is comparable to the cutting-edge battleships of the empire thirty years ago. Not to mention the neutral land, there are a large number of battleships of this level in various princes, small countries, and even imperial families.
Demand. If it doesn't work, it can still be sold until the end of the night.
Therefore, even if the Yongye Allied Forces invade the territory, the merchants in Nan Qingcheng will never stop working.
One day later, there were no more imperial troops in Nanqing City, and the only ones left were the aborigines of the neutral land.
Not far from Nan Qingcheng, Song Zining's flagship was floating in the air. At this moment, the flagship was re-camouflaged and looked like an old cargo ship, which might fall to the ground at any time.
At this time, two off-road vehicles drove up on the ground below. The people in the vehicles flashed light signals to the sky, and Song Zining's flagship slowly landed.
Song Zining walked out of the cabin door, and three people had already got off the off-road vehicle and were waiting. An old man in the middle stepped forward, bowed, and said respectfully: "I've met Qi Shao."
Song Zining said happily: "No need to be polite. How is your master?"
"The master has left the Throne of Blood, and we don't know where he is going. But before leaving, the master told Young Master Qi to give us the things. If you have anything else, you can tell me. The master will return to the Throne of Blood from time to time, then
You will naturally know when the time comes.”
Song Zining nodded and said: "You can never be too careful when dealing with the Eternal Flame. Your master is right. The things are here, please take inventory."
Song Zining waved his hand, and someone behind him handed over a small suitcase. The old man opposite took it and opened it. He saw that there were many jewels, gold and jade inside, which were so dazzling that it was difficult to distinguish the value for a while. He closed the suitcase and said: "
How come there is a shortage of things that Qi Shao promised? There is no need to count them."
Song Zining nodded and said: "Another matter, how has your master considered it?"
The old man said: "The master thinks it is okay, but the conditions need to be modified slightly. The master wants a customized frigate in exchange for the full blow of Shattering Fleeting Years."
Song Zining pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's quite reasonable. Go back and tell your master that I agree."
The old man's face showed joy and he said: "I will bring this good news back. My master wants to place more orders, but I don't know how much the Seventh Young Master can satisfy?"
"This depends on your master. If Nan Qingcheng is less disturbed, it will naturally produce more. In addition, this time we cannot let Eternal Flame do whatever he wants. We must put some pressure on him no matter what."
"My master will consider this matter."
Song Zining nodded and returned to the floating ship. The old man also drove away and headed for Nan Qingcheng.
At this moment, a guard next to Song Zining lifted his hood, revealing a fair face, and said: "I didn't expect that the Throne of Blood would also have a confidant installed in Nan Qingcheng, and it was still a human race."
This man's face was pale and beardless, and he was clearly Eunuch Zhang.
Song Zining smiled slightly and said: "He has been operating in a neutral land for hundreds of years, so it's not surprising. I think there should be some secret agent planted by Zhang Buzhou among the vampires who came to the Throne of Blood."
"Aren't you afraid that he will peek into your secret?"
Song Zining said calmly: "What are you afraid of? The things in Nanqing City are just for them to see. It doesn't matter if they know what the peripheral parts are. They can't disassemble the engine. Even if they can disassemble it, I don't have it in my hands.
They can’t make the alloy formula.”
"But..." Eunuch Zhang obviously still has doubts.
Song Zining smiled and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, no matter it's that one or Zhang Buzhou, even people like Spider Emperor, Wolf King, Frost and Thunder Temple, all they want is the fleet, not making money. This is different from us!"
Eunuch Zhang smiled brightly and said, "Our family has nothing else to think about. We are just waiting to make a small fortune with the Seventh Young Master so that we can live a peaceful old age."
Song Zining said: "Eunuch Zhang is joking, we have worked so hard to come to a neutral place, how can we only make a small fortune?"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Back in the command cabin, Song Zining spread out the map of the East China Sea, studied it for a moment, then pointed to the edge of the landmass and said: "Let's go here first."
Eunuch Zhang looked on, confused, and asked, "What's here?"
Song Zining said: "I want to meet someone and return a favor."
Eunuch Zhang was also an expert. Seeing that Song Zining was unwilling to explain, he stopped asking any more questions. The flagship received the order and set sail immediately, turning around and flying towards the edge of the landmass. Halfway through, a ray of light suddenly shot into the sky from the flagship.
Get up and fly into the void. Eunuch Zhang has sharp eyes and hides
Yue saw two metal sealing tubes in Guanghua. This kind of sealing tube is usually used to carry confidential messages. He was shocked. He didn't expect that Song Zining had already used such methods. It seemed that although Song Zining was in a neutral position,
land, but still closely connected with the empire.
Half a day later, the flagship sailed to the edge of the land mass. Song Zining ordered the flagship to wait here, and he flew to the ground and walked to the edge of the land mass alone. Eunuch Zhang watched Song Zining go away on the deck, his brows furrowed, his expression
He became more and more stern, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The climate on the edge of the East China Sea is harsh, and void storms are raging by all the time. Qianye was also cautious when he walked here, and Song Zining should have been more strenuous. However, his Three Thousand Floating Leaves Domain is best at taking advantage of various environments. The more extreme,
There are more places to draw on. So he still walked calmly in the wind and snow, swinging his folding fan gently, showing an indescribable coolness.
He kept searching in the wind and snow, and after searching for a long time, he finally saw the Vampire warship parked on the ground from a distance according to Qianye's vague description.
Song Zining just breathed a sigh of relief when a man appeared in front of him. He was dressed as a vampire, with a vigilant expression and a pair of eagle eyes, looking at him up and down.
Song Zining cupped his hand and said, "This should be the Marquis of Calinan, right? Please inform Your Excellency Lord Nighteye that an old friend is visiting."
Jalinan was startled and raised his eyebrows: "Do you recognize me?"
Song Zining chuckled, "Why don't I recognize the majestic Marquis of Calinan?"
Jialinan looked up and down at Song Zining, still unable to see through the details of this guy. He hesitated in his heart, and finally said: "Please wait here for a moment, I will return the favor to the master."
Song Zining said with a smile: "Please do it."
Jalinan returned quickly, came to the battleship, and said: "Lord Nighteye, someone wants to see you, saying that an old friend is visiting."
After a moment, Ye Tong's voice sounded, "What kind of person is he?"
Jalinan hesitated for a moment and said: "A young man from the human race, he knows your and my names. This man looks decent, but his strength is average. He has to carry a fan in the wind and snow. He seems to have a little brain.
Not normal."
Ye Tong gave a rare chuckle and said, "Can't you just say he is a fool?"
