After Song Zining left Chen's house, he came to a courtyard in the south of the city. This was his foothold 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 the local architecture of the Eternal Night Continent. The walls are high and the trenches are deep. It looks like a small fortress in a critical moment.
When Song Zining walked into the side hall, the two warrior-level powerhouses were already waiting inside. He ordered people to bring two original force packaging boxes, and each person gave one to him, saying, "If there were not two of them, this Things will not go so smoothly this time. This is a small thank you, please send my regards to Uncle Jiu when you get back."
The two strong men hurriedly stood up, and the older one said: "It is naturally good to have the opportunity to contribute a little bit for Qi Shao. Master Ninth has already told us before this trip that we must do our best. People from the Song Clan, why should Qi Shao be so polite?"
As the two talked, they wanted to reject the gift box.
However, Song Zining said solemnly: "A little bit of courtesy is not to become estranged with the two, but to be respected. This is a must, otherwise, what's the face of me as a guest of the Song Clan? How can you drive a truly strong person like the two at will? Uncle Nine thinks highly of me and is willing to take care of me, and you need the two to treat me as a friend in order to get things done."
Hearing such words, the two strong men were in a good mood, so they no longer declined. After they returned to their room, they opened the packaging box and saw a piece of original energy level black crystal neatly inside, and they were even more satisfied at the moment.
The two of them still have serious errands for the Song Clan in the Eternal Night Continent, and they just made a small detour when they came to Shanyin County. It took only three days for the Seventh Young Master to have a piece of black crystal in the account. Such a relaxed and pleasant extra money, even if they have warrior-level cultivation, is rare. They had little contact with Song Zining in the past, but this time they only got to know each other for a few days, and found that the seventh son was easy-going and kind, and treated everyone with sincerity. In contrast, the other young masters and ladies of the Song clan seemed a bit stingy.
These few days Qianye has been busy training those seeds. This group of people was carefully selected, with good talent, physique, and understanding. After only a few days of training, they are already looking good, and many young girls in them also have the potential to become fighters.
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 not be inferior to the regular army of the Empire. In time, more of them will ignite the Force Nodes and become warriors. At that time, the overall combat power may still surpass the regular army.
In the early hours of the morning, the drills on the school grounds had already begun. Under the dim lights of the original force street lamps, young men and women were running in circles, doing 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 Chengxing's hurried figure appeared on the sidelines, Qianye couldn't help but his expression moved slightly, he came really early today.
Wei Cheng walked to Qianye's side, lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Qian, there have been many suspicious people around these two days, and 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 Seventh Division, the kind with military membership."
Qianye looked at Wei Cheng, who had a worried expression on his face. Although he had been told that these people were seeds and had entrusted him with the handling of the prisoners of war and the red crystal iron ore, he hadn't clearly told him about these things. exact source. However, Qianye didn't hide anything. Wei Cheng's shrewdness had already been tacitly understood, so now his worried expression seems to have appeared a bit too late.
Qianye didn't intend to go around in circles with him, and asked directly: "Will they come to attack Far East Heavy Industry's industry?"
Wei Cheng's complexion changed slightly, and he said immediately: "Of course not, but there are many hidden methods. For example, a gangster just happened to attack the mine of the Wei family. Can't say anything."
Qianye nodded and said, "I need weapons, a lot of weapons."
Wei Cheng suddenly looked embarrassed, and said cautiously: "Although the defense zone of the Seventh Division is a little far from Duanhe City, the relationship between the expeditionary forces in this theater is pretty good. In fact, there is not much outside movement..."
Qianye squinted his eyes to look 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 is, it is still in the upper continent. Of course, the strength of the Broken River City branch of Far Eastern Heavy Industries is far inferior to that of the Expeditionary Force. Once a conflict occurs, Far Eastern Heavy Industries must suffer the immediate loss.
But if Wei Cheng hadn't accepted the red crystal iron ore without any embarrassment before, and Wei Potian hadn't sent a messenger, Qianye could still understand that a manager dared not decide on such a big matter. But since Wei Cheng dared to collect the stolen goods at that time, and knew that Wei Potian would come over for this matter in a 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 shirk, and said flatly: "The equipment that is in arrears to me must be brought immediately, don't say that you don't have enough reserves in the warehouse!"
Wei Cheng's smile became more and more helpless: "My lord, aren't you embarrassing me?"
"If I don't make things difficult for you, you will feel the same way when Wei Shizi arrives. It's impossible for me to take all these people to the wilderness, it's no different from letting them die. Tonight, I want to see the equipment. The things that have been paid must be delivered to me immediately!" Qianye said coldly, then ignored Wei Cheng and continued to urge these young soldiers to train.
Wei Cheng had no choice but to be careful, son, and left in a hurry.
Qianye looked at Wei Cheng's back, called a soldier, and gave a few orders. It was a former hunter who was good at tracking, Qianye told him to follow him from a distance, to see whether Wei Cheng would return to the city or go elsewhere.
In retrospect, Wei Cheng was enthusiastic when he got the red crystal iron ore, but he lingered until now that he has not delivered the weapons and equipment, and now he wants to let Qianye release the seeds, at least leave this similar stronghold A small town with a barrier is a bit unreasonable.
At this moment, the headquarters of the Seventh Division is overcast and cloudy, and it will rain cats and dogs at any time. In the conference room, Wu Zhengnan stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the map on the wall, silent. There were still seven or eight people sitting in the conference room, all of whom were Wu Zhengnan's confidantes. The core members of the entire Seventh Division are here.
There was a dead silence in the room, no one spoke, it was so quiet that they could even hear each other's heartbeat.
Finally, Wu Zhengnan spoke slowly and asked, "Is there no news from the mine?"
A colonel staff officer said: "Yes. They have been delaying delivery of the latest batch of goods. They have found out all kinds of weird reasons. No matter how much our people urge them, it is useless. That old guy Chen Guangyu doesn't know Where did he hide, and he never showed up."
Wu Zhengnan suddenly asked: "Where are Chen Guangyu's family members, have you seen them?"
The colonel's staff was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned ugly, and he said, "I haven't seen it, not a single one. The old guy's cousin is in charge of the nearby mine, but it is said that he doesn't know his whereabouts."
Wu Zhengnan nodded, and said, "So, something happened at the Chen's Mine. Chen Guangyu was either arrested or ran away."
Qi Sicheng, who was in charge of this area, couldn't believe it, and said, "This is unlikely, right? That old guy has some background, and he has a close relationship with General Lu of the Expeditionary Army Headquarters. Otherwise, how could he get three mines in Shanyin County? "
Wu Zhengnan said in a low voice: "That's it, it shows that the matter this time is not simple. Someone is following us."
Qi Sicheng said puzzledly: "This is the Eternal Night Continent, who dares to overwhelm our expeditionary army?"
Wu Zhengnan smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed upwards. Qi Sicheng immediately stopped talking.
Another colonel was not too convinced, and said: "Even if it is the family above? It is not so easy to mobilize our expeditionary army, right? How can the adults in the military tolerate their nonsense? If so , who will give their lives to the empire in the future!"
Wu Zhengnan said indifferently: "It's too late to say these things now. What about the news from the Fifteenth Division?"
The fifteenth division is a field division, and the defense line of the position is located between the two defense areas of Heiliu City and Duanhe City. The Seventh Division lost something. Of course, it is impossible to directly drive the army into the adjacent theater to search wantonly. The colonel staff responsible for this matter sent a small number of scouts, and at the same time sent secret letters to several closely related divisions. Now it is the Fifteenth Division that has news feedback.
"It has been confirmed that the batch of seeds is hiding in a black stone mine of Far East Heavy Industries. The young man who robbed us is surnamed Qian, and he is also in the mine now. The news is that the Fifteenth Division got it from the Far East Heavy Industries. Master Zhang said that he can send out a regiment, but because the mine is in the defense area of the 10th Division of Broken River City, he has to pay tolls, and it involves the Wei family in the Far East, so his share in all transactions in the future must be paid. Increase by 10%."
This time, Wu Zhengnan's face was not so pretty. Obviously, this 10% gain is 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 that this matter must be done quickly and neatly, and it must be resolved within one day. Besides... no one will be left alive!"
Qi Sicheng was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "General, those seeds are worth a lot of money!"
"It's better to lose all your money than to be caught and die without a place to bury you. Let's do it like this!"
Qi Sicheng didn't dare to persuade him any more, just looking at his face, it was obvious that his heart ached. Among the batch of seeds, 50 were his personal investment, and this time, a lot of the Qi family's past income was included.
In the meeting room, there were several people with the same complexion as Qi Sicheng.
Wu Zhengnan pondered for a while, and said again: "However, that Zhang's work 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's command. It is said to be a regiment, but in fact it has as many as 2,000 people and is well equipped, no less than the main force of the empire. The dispatch of this combat unit shows that Wu Zhengnan has made up his mind to erase all the seeds and all relevant clues of this transaction.
Qi Sicheng is also a thoughtful person. After the heartache of the heavy loss, he also remembered the coincidence of the sudden disappearance of Chen Guangyu's family. Suddenly, a large shadow fell on his heart.
The colonel staff officer who mobilized the first regiment didn't go out for a long time, but he ran back again, and said urgently as soon as he entered the door: "General, it's not good! A group of people came from outside the city, claiming to be from the Wei family, and they have blocked the city gate. Anyone out of town. Our brethren got into a little fight with them and wounded a dozen people."
