Qianye was slightly taken aback, and then realized that Song Zining must have known what happened to him during his time at the Yin family. In fact, since Tianxuan Chunshou, his views on some things have gradually changed, he shook his head and said: "That is the internal affairs of the Yin family, and only Qiqi can solve it."
Besides, Gu Liyu usually stays at the Imperial Army Headquarters, even if he comes out to perform missions, his whereabouts must be high-secret, unless he courts death and appears in front of Qianye. But Qianye had already left the Yin family, and had nothing to do with the chaotic pool of muddy water.
Song Zining seemed to be able to sense Qianye's unspoken thoughts, his eyes flickered, he changed the subject, and asked him about the interception of Wu Zhengnan's shipment in detail.
"I also got the news of this deal by accident. But it's strange to say that such a big deal has no decent defenses. The guard force on the dark race side is equivalent to a patrol team, and that's how I got it." .”
Song Zining smiled and said, "If you suddenly increase the strength of your guards, don't you tell others that this deal is worth a lot? You just said that the recipients of the deal are werewolves and nerubians. With so many high-quality seeds, how can the vampires not be tempted? So Once the details of the transaction are revealed, it will be useless to have more guards, and they will not be able to get out of the territory of the blood clan. Isn’t there some goods for the Marquis of Ross in it? It’s not like that Your Excellency can’t do black and white things. .”
Qianye also understood, and then said: "I rescued these people, but there is no good way to house them. Staying here is not a long-term solution."
"This is a high-quality seed, and you still worry about how to arrange it!" Song Zining smiled, his brows were crooked, seeing that Qianye was still a little puzzled, he pondered for a while, and said, "Let them live here for the time being." After Wu Zhengnan's matter is settled, I will send a few people over to help you."
As he said that, Song Zining blinked suddenly, and said with a smirk, "I prepared some gifts for you, but after seeing these people, I think it's better to change them. I'll bring them to you next time."
Seeing his friend's expression, Qianye immediately had a bad feeling about the so-called "gift". "However, Zining, why did you come here suddenly?"
"Isn't it because of your matter? I have basically found the origin and distribution channels of the black crystal. I came here this time just to confirm."
As a result, Qianye felt a little sorry and said, "Don't delay your business."
Song Zining smiled, and said, "This is my business."
That night, the two fell asleep on their feet, talking more about the past in Huangquan. It was only then that Qianye discovered to his surprise that so many interesting things had happened in his hellish training career.
Memory is really a strange thing, sometimes it will wash away all the suffering, leaving only warmth, but sometimes it will obliterate the joy that once existed, leaving only paleness and ugliness.
Song Zining stayed in the town for two days. When Wei Potian's messenger brought a reply to Qianye, after the agreed arrival time, he saw that things were almost done with Qianye, so he stopped staying and left in a hurry with a large group of people. .
In the next few days, Qianye set out to classify and arrange those who were originally regarded as seeds. Not all of these people had nowhere to go, but almost no one wanted to leave, and they all expressed their desire to follow Qianye.
However, within a few days, Qianye realized that it was very troublesome to manage people, especially when there were hundreds of people.
This morning, Wei Cheng came to the town to ask to see Qianye, and he put a list on the table respectfully. Qianye took a closer look, and there were dense details on it, all of which were very trivial items, including food, clothing, tools, weapons, and the cost of repairing houses and roads. There were hundreds of items.
The details of these lists mean one thing, money.
Wei Cheng didn't ask Qianye for money, but he sent him the detailed list for his review. The meaning was very clear, it was to let Qianye know how much money he had already spent on these people. If other expenses are not counted, the daily cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation will reach ten gold coins. If there are other needs, such as physical training, or weapons and ammunition, the cost will increase several times or even dozens of times.
Qianye put down the list and asked, "What is the authority of the prince to allocate resources?"
"The number of resources that the prince can mobilize is different in different regions. We are the lowest level seven region, and the material reserve that can be supplied is 500 gold coins. If it is in the county, it is 1,000 gold coins. In Qin Lu The upper mainland county can mobilize five thousand gold coins at a time."
Wei Cheng's attitude was very respectful from the beginning to the end, but Qianye also knew that once the predetermined bottom line was reached, this shrewd steward would never be accommodating. Up to now, Qianye has spent more than 300 gold coins on this batch of seeds, most of which were used to buy some necessary weapons and equipment, as well as tools.
Qianye obtained a lot of minerals and tools from Wu Zhengnan's trading point, and dozens of trucks were also a fortune. He thought for a while, and then took Wei Cheng to the room used as a warehouse, where there were more than a dozen sealed boxes, all of which were goods that were going to be sent to the dark race with the seeds.
With a stretch of his hand, Qianye tore off the crimson box lid, revealing fist-sized crimson ores inside.
Seeing the ore in the box, Wei Cheng was startled. He took out an objective lens from his jacket pocket and carefully inspected the ore. There are beautiful cloud patterns on the red rough stone, and a few tiny crystals are embedded.
Wei Changchang let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, it's the raw ore of red crystal iron, and the grade is not low. How can a box of ore be worth more than one hundred gold coins. But this kind of red crystal iron is used to make the force array. How can you collect so many raw materials?"
Qianye did not answer.
Wei Cheng patted his forehead and said, "Oh, I'm so confused, I shouldn't inquire about your affairs! Please don't take it to heart!"
"A box of one hundred and fifty gold coins, do you accept it?"
Wei Cheng nodded again and again: "Of course! Take as much as you have!"
Qianye nodded and said, "There are a total of twenty boxes here."
Wei Cheng was so excited that his face flushed red, and he said hastily: "Since you take care of me so much, I, Wei Cheng, am not ungrateful. Let me tell you the truth, your asking price for this batch of ore is really cheap." , so such a large amount, I decided to convert it into 3,300 gold coins! What do you think?"
"Yes." Qianye nodded briefly and said, "But don't give me all the gold coins, and exchange the rest for weapons and equipment, medicine and food."
"No problem! I'll get someone to prepare it right away, and you'll see the list in the afternoon. As long as it's not too unpopular, it's guaranteed to be ready within a week. You have the emblem of the deacon of the Supervisory Academy, and all the goods can be stamped nine." fold."
After finalizing the details of the transaction with Wei Cheng, Qianye also heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that red crystal iron was the main material for engraving the force array, and it could be used for force guns below level three and force melee weapons below level two. Such a box of raw ore can produce enough red crystal iron to make ten force guns. In other words, Wu Zhengnan sold the materials of two hundred force guns to the dark race.
The quotations of these red crystal iron ore Qianye are indeed a bit cheap. If they are shipped to Qinlu, this batch of ore can be sold for at least two hundred or more. If they are sold to the dark race, the price will be close to three hundred. But with such a large amount, and the hot black goods snatched from Wu Zhengnan, it was not so easy to sell.
Only Far Eastern Heavy Industries, which was backed by the Wei family, dared to unscrupulously swallow goods of unknown origin, and this was because Qianye held the prince's token.
After receiving such a large amount of benefits, Wei Cheng's attitude towards Qianye in the next few days was simply too enthusiastic, and he came to the small town almost every day to ask for help. Qianye happened to have a place where he could be useful. The basic necessities of seven hundred people, how to manage, how to plan, how to prevent conflicts and accidents, etc., were extremely cumbersome. However, there is knowledge in every detail, and Qianye has learned a lot from Wei Cheng in the past few days.
While Qianye was fighting countless trifles, Song Zining had changed his appearance and turned into a young man with ordinary clothes. He brought two followers and came to Shanyin County in the hinterland of Eternal Night Continent.
There are 300,000 expeditionary troops stationed in Sanyin County. This is not the border of the human-controlled area, so there is no need for so many garrisons. The reason why the garrison was three times higher than normal was that this was the well-known black crystal production area in the entire Eternal Night Continent.
Song Zining was in a small street in the county town, walking like a leisurely stroll. The street is not wide, and it is already very dark at the moment, and it will be completely shrouded in night in half an hour. The county town is very lively, but this small street is a little too quiet.
In front of Song Zining, the small street came to an end, and beside it was the gate of a large mansion. In the depths of the small street, three or five idlers were gathering together, chatting lazily about something.
The sound of Song Zining's footsteps carried far away in the silent street, and immediately attracted the attention of these idlers. They all stood up straight, looking at Song Zining who was walking slowly, their eyes were cold and bloodthirsty gradually.
Song Zining continued to walk towards the house as if he hadn't seen them. A few idlers glanced at each other, then came up to meet them, and said in a vicious voice, "Have you gone to the wrong place? If you want to hang out, go to another place!"
"That's right, I'm here to find Chen Guangyu." Song Zining smiled.
The idlers were a little suspicious, looked Song Zining up and down, and asked hesitantly, "You're looking for Mr. Chen? But why haven't we seen you?"
Song Zining glanced at them with a smile, and said, "Since you say that, then Chen Guangyu should be here. Oh, is it autumn now?"
"What autumn?"
Song Zining's last sentence baffled the idlers. There are only light seasons and dark seasons in the Eternal Night Continent. How can the upper continent be so particular about it. One of them suddenly felt something in his heart, looked up, and found that there were really countless fallen leaves falling slowly in the sky!
