Far Eastern Heavy Industries has a guard team of more than 30 people in each mining area. After Qianye brought the seeds to this small town, Wei Cheng sent another team over.
The two captains of the guards are senior fourth-level fighters in their early thirties. When they walked into Qianye's small building, they saw a map spread out on the long table in the reception room and study room. Qianye was contemplating .
The two looked at each other, feeling vaguely uneasy. They are in charge of the defense of the mining area, and they are much more familiar with the surrounding situation than Qianye. Naturally, they will not be ignorant of the changes outside the town in the past two days, but they don't know where the opponent came from. However, in Eternal Night Continent, battles can happen anytime and anywhere due to various reasons, and the enemies are not only dark races.
Qianye asked them to sit down, and without beating the bush, he directly told what Wei Cheng found out after he came over in the morning and sent someone to follow him up.
The faces of the two guard captains changed drastically.
One of the captains, also surnamed Wei, scolded on the spot, "Damn it, Wei Cheng is a bitch!"
The other captain was a bit older, so he had to be calmer. He clicked on the map and said, "Young Master Qian, if Wei Cheng left Duanhe City and headed southwest, that would be the 15th Division of the Expeditionary Army." .”
Most of the local agents of the aristocratic family are closely related to the local expeditionary forces, but Wei Cheng's actions this time may be because he himself is not clean in this matter. The only good thing is that the local Tenth Division of Broken River City didn't seem to be involved, and maybe they don't have to worry about being attacked by the entire division of the expeditionary force. However, if the 15th Division and the 7th Division wanted to attack them across regions, they had to restrain themselves somewhat.
Qianye said: "It seems that from now on, this place may be attacked at any time, a very violent attack."
The faces of the two guard captains were a little bit bitter, and they asked, "Is it really... the expeditionary army?" Of course, Far Eastern Heavy Industries is not easy to mess with. not weak. But on the territory of the expeditionary force, no matter what, it is impossible to compete with the strength of a division.
Qianye nodded, "There are so many people here, there is no danger to defend in the wilderness, and going out is a dead end. However, it should be possible for the small team to leave. You are from Far East Heavy Industries. As long as you enter Broken River City, you should die." There will be no overt attack."
The captain surnamed Wei shook his head and said, "Master Qian, what is this? If we leave you and run away like this, how will we explain it to the prince afterwards? This is tantamount to betraying the family!"
Although they don't know the inside story, but as the captain of the guard, they can be regarded as the managers of the Duanhe City branch of Far East Heavy Industries. At that time, Wei Potian's messenger came to deliver the news, and they also attended the audience. The messenger had already made it clear to Qianye this time. The matter belonged to the family affairs, and emphasized that he had the same authority as the deacon of the prison in the Wei family.
Another captain surnamed He also said: "It's really too late to leave now, and since the Fifteenth Division is behind the scenes, it's hard to explain the attitude of the Tenth Division. Duanhe City may not be safe. The next arrival time is tomorrow night, so I can only try my best to keep it."
The captain surnamed Wei said to Qianye: "Even the expeditionary army can't bully the Wei family in the Far East! We have been supported by the Wei family for many years, just to die at this moment. Anyway, someone will take care of the affairs after the death. Please rest assured, my son. Will fight to the death!"
Captain He didn't say much, but nodded resolutely.
Qianye sighed a little in his heart. He didn't intend to let the two guards stay. With Wei Cheng's matter ahead of him, he was worried that other people would be infiltrated by the expeditionary army. Instead of keeping possible hidden dangers by his side, he should directly let them go. Besides, Qianye didn't want his friends to suffer too much loss in order to help him.
However, Qianye only really saw the background of the noble family today. Although there will be betrayers like Wei Cheng, there are more soldiers like the two guard captains in front of him, who are willing to die for the honor and interests of the family. This is just a very low-level branch on the periphery of the Wei family. If you think about the entire family, how powerful it would be.
The three of them then discussed the defense, and decided to immediately strengthen the line of defense and release scouts and sentries around the perimeter. Fortunately, there are plenty of heavy equipment in the mine behind the town, which can be used as roadblocks and bunkers. Due to Wei Cheng's rebellion, the situation in several other mining areas of Far East Heavy Industry is unknown, and the original communication channels may not be safe. Report what happened.
At this time, Wei Potian had just walked out of the Conquest Fort where the headquarters of the expeditionary army was located.
With a happy face, he said to his relatives: "It is said that Xiao Lingshi is very difficult to speak, and he is very defensive. Seeing you today, the rumors are not very accurate!"
Both left and right said together: "Of course, my son, you are wise and powerful!"
Wei Potian laughed loudly, and then cursed with a smile: "Stop flattering you guys! Of course I know how much I have. However, it seems that my ability to handle affairs has indeed improved in recent times, and Xiao Lingshi's progress here is so It went well, the ancestors should be able to explain it."
Naturally, there was a wave of flattery from left and right, coaxing Wei Potian to be elated, and shouted: "Boys, follow me! I want to see what those expeditionary troops are doing! This time, I will also open your eyes by the way. Let you have a good look at the good brothers I met back then! Tomorrow night, we will be able to go there."
A group of people left Conquer Fort, and headed for the airship base, where the airship transported by the Wei family from the upper continent was already waiting.
Wei Potian specially came to visit Xiao Lingshi on this trip, because he got the words of the elders in the family that those who want to launch an expeditionary army on the Evernight Continent must pass Xiao Lingshi's test. But before this trip, Wei Shizi didn't think of any strategies or methods at all, he just made preparations for a big fight, and if it didn't work, he would force it.
However, at first sight, Wei Potian found that this general was very talkative. After Xiao Lingshi heard Wei Potian's intention, he said on the spot that a taboo deal with the dark race was unacceptable. No matter how much he loved his subordinates, he would never support such a person, so he asked Wei Potian to investigate and do what he could. Within the range, we can provide Wei Potian with all kinds of help.
Wei Potian was greatly surprised, but naturally he was extremely satisfied, so he left Conquer Fort contentedly, and was about to find trouble with the Seventh Division and Wu Zhengnan.
Wei Potian is full of confidence this time, but he is not completely fooling around. Even if he is not good at military affairs, the Wei family owns a province and has a certain influence in the imperial army, and there are many talents in this field. In the past month, the Wei family had mobilized manpower to investigate Wu Zhengnan in secret, and only then began to make arrangements.
Before Wei Potian left, someone had already handed Wu Zhengnan's thick pile of crimes into his hands. With these evidences in hand, the heir of the Wei family can come to the Eternal Night Continent with confidence, not only to do Qianye a big favor, but also to show off his ability, which is much better than that useless guy Song Qi.
Behind a window of Conquest Fort, Song Zining's figure was revealed. He looked at Wei Potian who was going all the way away, and softly uttered a word: "Idiot!"
Next to Song Zining stood a middle-aged man in a general's uniform. The two gold stars on his shoulder badges indicated his identity as a lieutenant general. He is tall and majestic, and his aura is unparalleled, like a sharp sword drawn out of its sheath.
He was also looking at Wei Potian's back, and when he heard Song Zining's unkind comment, he just smiled and didn't comment. The Bowang Hou Shizi of the Wei family's generation is very interesting. With Xiao Lingshi's background and experience, he looks down on the arrogant dude like Shi Clan the most, but for some reason, Wei Shizi clearly looks like an idiot. Words and deeds are not so annoying.
Xiao Lingshi's eyes turned to Song Zining who was beside him. When he first met this Song clan's descendant, he was very charming and gentle as jade. His emotional expression at this moment is also very interesting. It's just that, in a powerful family, two core disciples who are quite different are eyeing one of his teachers together, which is not very pleasant.
Song Zining said: "General Xiao, don't pay attention to this idiot, let's continue talking about business."
Xiao Lingshi nodded, turned around and sat on the sofa. Song Zining also sat across from him, took out a document, put it on the case table, and said, "This is half of the rights and interests of the three mines of the Chen family. Please read it first."
"Then I won't be polite." Xiao Lingshi took the contract and looked at it carefully.
Song Zining sat peacefully, waiting patiently. Ordinarily, with Xiao Lingshi in such a high position, it is no longer necessary for him to take care of such details, and his subordinates have corresponding talents to take care of him. However, seeing Xiao Lingshi so dedicated, Song Zining's heart jumped slightly, and his evaluation of this humble lieutenant general was raised by another level.
Not only has the talent of heaven, but also can work hard, and can let go of his body at critical moments. This may be the reason why Xiao Lingshi was able to climb to such a high position when he was less than fifty years old from a poor family.
Xiao Lingshi read the entire contract twice before putting it back on the table, and said with satisfaction: "Seventh Young Master has done everything meticulously, and I am quite relieved. There is no problem with this contract, so let's settle it like this. Someone will come tomorrow Take my token and go to your residence to sign the contract."
Song Zining nodded in agreement, this is the truth. Xiao Lingshi will not put too many assets directly in his own name. This kind of thing is not a problem at all for people from aristocratic families. Some of them are digested by sources and channels, but children from poor families still do it, but they are all excuses.
Song Zining smiled and said: "General Xiao, as I said just now, this is just the beginning. We will have more benefits to share in Shanyin County, and even the entire Eternal Night Continent. After the defeat of Wu Zhengnan, those few transactions in his hands The line will fall into my hands. At that time, you will see that the income here will be better than before. As long as the teachers who cooperate with Wu Zhengnan don't disturb me, the original income will still be good. Maintain, although the share must be reduced, but the absolute number will not be less.”
Xiao Lingshi nodded and said: "This is the best, otherwise there will be too many people who oppose it, and I will not be able to handle it." He thought for a while and said: "Since the seventh son came prepared this time, he should also know Huaiyang Wu. Shi, have you ever wondered if they will speak out?"
Song Zining's eyes flashed, and Xiao Lingshi's tone was flat and there was no intention of being mysterious. Because everyone knows that Wu Zhengnan's Wu is not the same as Huaiyang Wu's Wu, at least on the surface.
The only connection between Huaiyang Wu's family and this matter is that one of the suppliers, Chen Guangyu, the head of the Chen's mine, is one of the Huaiyang Wu's in-laws. But Xiao Lingshi would not be so kind to remind them to clean their hands and feet after the aftermath. Since he brought it up, he must have other plans.
Song Zining smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if they will speak out or not, if General Xiao has other ideas, it's fine."
