Monarch of Evernight: Ninety-six doubts

bsp;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 clan's vassal family. The house is not too big, but it is very practical. It has the typical style of local architecture in Yongye Continent, with high walls and deep ditches, making it look like a small fortress in times of crisis.

When Song Zining walked into the side hall, the two warrior-level powerhouses were already waiting inside. He ordered people to bring two force sealing boxes, each of them presented one to them, and said: "If it weren't for the two Now, things will not go so smoothly this time. This is a small thank you. Please say hello to Uncle Jiu 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. The Ninth Master has told us before this trip that we must do our best. . They are all from the Song Dynasty, why should the Seventh Young Master be so polite?"

As the two of them spoke, they wanted to reject 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 How can we, the direct descendants, control truly strong people like you two? Uncle Jiu thinks highly of me and is willing to take care of me, and he needs 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 neatly placed inside. They were even more satisfied at the moment.

The two of them had serious errands with the Song clan in Yongye Continent, and they just took a small detour to Shanyin County. After only three days of delay at the Seventh Young Master, a piece of black crystal was deposited into the account. Such easy and pleasant extra money was rare, even if they already had warrior-level cultivation. They had little contact with Song Zining in the past, but after spending just a few days together this time, they found that the seventh young master was easy-going, kind and sincere. In comparison, the other young masters and ladies of the Song clan seemed a bit stingy.

Qianye has been busy training those seeds these past few days. This group of people were all carefully selected. Their talents, physiques and understandings were very good. After only a few days of training, they were already looking good, and many of the young girls among them also had 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 battalion. If there are enough weapons and equipment, the combat power will be no less than that of the regular imperial army. As time goes by, more of them will ignite the Force nodes and become warriors. By that time, the overall combat power may still exceed that of the regular army.

In the early hours of the morning, 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 and used various equipment to do strength training.

At this moment, 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 up to Qianye and lowered his voice and said, "Master Qianye, 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 your calendar?"

"That's the problem. Those are people 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 tell him clearly. The exact source of these things. However, Qianye didn't hide anything. With Wei Cheng's shrewdness, he had already tacitly understood it, so his worried expression seemed to appear too late.

Qianye did not intend to go around in circles with him and asked directly: "Will they 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 can be many secret methods. For example, a group of bandits happened to attack the Wei family's mine. This kind of thing No one can 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 not bad. In fact, there is no news outside yet. Too much 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 force for Qianye. No matter how powerful the Wei family is, it is still in the upper continent. Of course, the strength of Far East Heavy Industries' Duanhe City branch is far inferior to that of the expeditionary force. Once a conflict occurs, Far East Heavy Industries will definitely suffer the immediate loss.

But if Wei Cheng had not accepted the batch of red crystal iron ore without any embarrassment, and Wei Potian had not sent a messenger, Qianye would still understand that a steward would not dare to make the decision on such a major matter. But since Wei Cheng dared to collect the stolen goods at that time, and he knew that Wei Potian would come over for this matter in the next few days, his attitude seemed very strange.

Qianye was already 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 in your warehouse. Reserve! ”

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. That is no different from letting them die. Tonight, I want to see The equipment, what I 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 somewhere else.

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, at least leave this place. A town similar to a stronghold and fortress is a bit unreasonable.

At this moment, the headquarters of the 7th Division is covered with clouds, and there will be a heavy 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, all of whom were close confidants of Wu Zhengnan. The core members of the entire seventh division are here.

The room was completely silent, 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 useless. That old guy Chen Guangyu I don’t know where he hid, and he never showed up.”

Wu Zhengnan suddenly asked: "Where are Chen Guangyu's family members, have you seen 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, couldn't believe it 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 the third degree in Shanyin County? A mine? ”

Wu Zhengnan said in a low voice: "That's it, it shows that things are not simple this time. Someone is targeting us."

Qi Sicheng said puzzledly: "This is the Evernight Continent. Who dares to overwhelm our expeditionary force?"

Wu Zhengnan smiled and pointed upward. Qi Sicheng stopped talking immediately.

Another colonel was not convinced and said: "What about those aristocratic families above? It's not that easy to mobilize our expeditionary force, right? How can the adults in the military tolerate such nonsense? If this is the case, no one 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 had lost something. Of course, it was impossible to directly march the troops into the adjacent theater to search openly and openly. The colonel in charge of the matter sent a small number of scouts and sent secret letters to several closely related divisions. The one who has the news now is the 15th Division.

"It has been confirmed that the seeds are hidden in a black stone mine of Far East Heavy Industries. The young man who robbed our things is surnamed Qian, and he is also in the mine now. The news is that the 15th Division obtained it from within Far East Heavy Industries Come, Commander Zhang said that he could send a group, but because the mine is within the defense area of ​​the 10th Division of Duanhe City, he has to pay tolls, and it involves the Wei family in the Far East, so his share in all future transactions will be , will be increased by 10%.”

This time, Wu Zhengnan's face didn't look so good. Obviously, this 10% profit is definitely not a small amount.

Wu Zhengnan looked gloomy and 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 Stay alive!”

Qi Sicheng was surprised 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 did not dare to persuade him any more, but looking at his face, it was obvious that he was extremely heartbroken. Fifty of that batch of seeds were considered his personal investment, and this time, a lot of the Qi family's past earnings 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, 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 two thousand people. It is well-equipped and is no worse than the main army of the empire. Sending this combat unit showed that Wu Zhengnan was determined to erase all traces of this batch of seeds and this transaction.

Qi Sicheng is also a thoughtful person. After the pain of 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 bad! A group of people came from outside the city, claiming to be people from the Wei family, and they have blocked the city. No one was allowed to leave the city. Our brothers had some conflicts with them and injured a dozen people."
