Xiao Lingshi got up, took a map and spread it out on the table, which marked the distribution of minerals in the human-controlled area of the Eternal Night Continent.
Xiao Lingshi visited several large-scale mines in Shanyin County, and said: "These places belong to the Huaiyang Wu family. Originally they are very law-abiding, even if there is something secretly, it will always be fine on the surface. "
Song Zi listened quietly, knowing that there must be something to say. Just like Wu Zhengnan's nearly 1,000 seeds, I don't know how many sources are involved, but some are allies who have direct interests with Wu Zhengnan, and some have changed hands two or three times. Money in this frying pan.
"In recent years, I may have seen that people around me have traded with the dark race and made a lot of money, so the Wu family has moved their minds, but there are some problems with the types of transactions they choose."
"what is the problem?"
"Man, and black crystal iron."
Song Zining narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Heijingtie?"
The grade of black crystal iron is still higher than that of red crystal iron, and it is an important raw material for making level 4 force guns. The pattern wiring in the original force array is made of this material. If red crystal iron is a strategic material, then black crystal iron is an important strategic material.
Song Zining immediately grasped a key point: "The black crystal iron is produced in the Wu family's mining area?"
Xiao Lingshi nodded, and said: "They have been trying to keep it secret, but when my people investigated the recent unusual transactions, they discovered a batch of black crystal iron from unknown sources. My two appraisal masters believed that these black crystal iron The iron should come from the samurai's mining area."
Song Zining mused, "Although the Huaiyang Wu family is only a third-rate force in the entire empire, it is still a family after all."
"This is where it gets difficult."
Xiao Lingshi's tone was casual and casual, but Song Zining knew that today's time is the key. Whether the two parties can cooperate further depends on whether he has the ability to carry on the matter, including the matter of Wu Zhengnan. The benefits given before are just a "don't ask" in exchange for Xiao Lingshi, but if something goes wrong, If you want him to tilt his position slightly, money alone will not do.
In the Eternal Night Continent, Xiao Lingshi has become popular, but he is from a humble family after all. Once he leaves the Eternal Night Continent, the difference in status will be highlighted, so he will present this opportunity in front of Song Zining. After all, his background was Xiao Lingshi's shortcoming. Other than that, he really had nothing to fear.
"Is there any other information?"
"Hold on."
Xiao Lingshi left for a while, and when he came back, he carried a thick stack of files, which were all related to the Wu family's mining area.
This time it was Song Zining's turn to take a closer look, while Xiao Lingshi was waiting by the side. The humble lieutenant general didn't show any signs of impatience, and seemed like he could just sit around for a whole day. And Song Zining read it page by page, as if he didn't even know that a lieutenant general was waiting beside him.
It took an entire hour for Song Zining to finish reading the information. He put all the files away, pressed his fingers on the table lightly, pondered for a long time, and then said: "These mines belong to the third house of the Wu family, so there is still some possibility of operation."
Xiao Lingshi just nodded and didn't speak.
Song Zining continued: "I have some connections in Qin Lu, and it will be difficult to overwhelm the third party of the Wu family, but it is still possible to hold them back for a while. When the third party of the Wu family is unable to take care of themselves, we directly intercept the Wu family's trading caravan , and occupy the mine again, as long as we can get hold of the Wu family, we won’t have to worry about the Wu family’s third party not submitting. At that time, as long as we are willing to return one-third of the mine’s benefits, the Wu family’s third party will have to follow suit. .As for the relationship with Wu Zhengnan that I couldn't talk about back then, they must be very knowledgeable about current affairs."
Xiao Lingshi smiled, "Dignified Song Clan, why is it so hard to deal with a third householder from a Wu family?"
Song Zining said calmly: "The Song family of Gaoling really wants to deal with the Wu family, like killing ants, how can it be difficult? The reason why it is a bit difficult is because it is not the Song family who deal with the third party of the Wu family, but I, Song Zining, who deal with the third party of the Wu family."
There is a big difference whether to borrow the power of Song Clan or not.
Xiao Lingshi was finally moved at this point, and took a deep look at Song Zining, "It's my eyes that are stupid." A dark look flashed in his eyes, that is to say, the little-known seventh son of the Song Clan never got on his line. Until now, the plan to deal with Wu Zhengnan was all based on one's own power? Knowing that this time he couldn't directly take advantage of the Song Clan, Xiao Lingshi was not only not disappointed, but had more expectations.
Song Zining smiled lightly, instead of continuing on this topic, he said, "The key now is, if we have stolen the Wu family's mines and caravans, but haven't found the black crystal iron, what should we do?"
"What do you think should be done?"
Song Zining said indifferently: "As long as we don't let them discover our identities. Even if they are discovered, it's fine, just make those people speechless. But to do this in the Evernight Continent, I need people. Xiao General, there will always be people like this under your command, right?"
Xiao Lingshi naturally understood Song Zining's meaning, and immediately said: "I do have some people in my hands. Loyalty is not a problem, and ability is not a problem. You can use it with confidence. They have no origin in the various records of the empire. However, Seventh Young Master, are you going to go there personally?"
Song Zining smiled and said, "For such a big event, of course you have to do it yourself, so you can rest assured."
Xiao Lingshi said: "There's an old saying that a son of a thousand pieces of gold can't sit still, and a seventh son has a high status. Do you really want to risk yourself?"
"If the son of a thousand gold refers to a high family name, then at the beginning it was a help, but in the end it was only a restraint. What you want is still to be earned with your own hands. Success or failure, you can shoulder it alone. Wouldn't it be better to fight for the rest?" Yam comes freely."
Xiao Lingshi was silent for a moment, and sighed softly, "Seventh Young Master has lofty ambitions, which makes me feel ashamed. After I got this position, all I thought about was how to keep it going. Hehe, the drive I had when I was young has gradually been worn away. went."
Song Zining said: "General Xiao is thinking about the long-term, he is prepared for danger in times of peace, and he will definitely go further in the future."
Xiao Lingshi said with a smile: "Then let me borrow a good word from Seventh Young Master."
The two chatted for a while, finalized the details of the action, and Song Zining left.
When Song Zining walked out of the Fort of Conquest, at the end of his line of sight, he just saw an airship soaring into the sky. Far away, the emblem of the Wei family in the Far East is still clearly visible. For so long, I don't know what Wei Potian was dawdling about. Song Zining looked at the airship, just sneered, then turned and left.
On the airship, Wei Potian was eating and drinking with his followers. At this moment, he was drunk and full of pride and ambition in his life. He just felt that although the world is big, who else is better than me
Even the senior figures of the Wei family sent by Wei Potian's side felt incredible when they thought about the process of doing things. If Xiao Lingshi was so easy-going, how could he get the reputation of a "black-faced Xiao"? However, as soon as Wei Potian asked for it, he readily agreed without any embarrassment or evasion.
These people only know that there must be a reason for it, but no one can guess what it is. In the whole team, perhaps only Wei Potian himself felt that Xiao Lingshi was overwhelmed by his aura, and the thought of who I am is even more prosperous.
Of course, even if Wei Potian found out that it was actually Song Zining who used the interests of half of the Chen family mine as a stepping stone, and a series of follow-up cooperation paved the way for Xiao Lingshi to make up his mind to completely abandon Wu Zhengnan, this eldest son of Wei would definitely Song Zining's role will not be recognized.
At this moment, neither Song Zining nor Wei Potian knew that the two armies had vaguely surrounded Qianye and the batch of seeds he had rescued, and they were about to launch an attack when the night fell.
Of course, Xiao Lingshi couldn't hide this kind of cross-district transfer of troops, but this lieutenant general who came from a poor family didn't intend to stop him, nor did he disclose the news to Wei Potian or Song Zining. In his mind, it would be best if those seeds disappeared. The survival of these people is a thorn in the flesh of the expeditionary army. As for the aftermath, the Seventh Division must be finished, but let the Fifteenth Division who took action pay a little more profit.
When the Conqueror Fort matter came to an end, Song Zining sent a few of his personal followers to find Qianye and tell him the latest progress. On the other hand, he took a few confidants and headed to another city overnight. There, another important commodity awaited him, which had to be dealt with immediately.
As the dusk gradually fell, Qianye stood on the watchtower of the small town, looking into the distance. The horizon is already blurred, and mist rises faintly. It's just after two o'clock in the afternoon, and the Eternal Night Continent is approaching dusk. Fortunately, the full moon in the sky has gradually risen, and the moonlight is falling. People with good eyesight can barely see hundreds of meters.
Qianye's pupils were faintly dark red, and his night vision ability had been activated. In his eyes, the Eternal Night Continent took off its disguise, and all its secrets were clearly visible. At the end of his sight, Qianye could see the slight difference between the rising dust and the normal night fog. It was the black smoke and dust raised by the truck.
There is a large-scale army marching here, and it will appear under the town wall in less than an hour.
The two guard captains from Far East Heavy Industries stood on Qianye's left, and on the right were a pair of young men and women, both of whom were not much older than Qianye, in their early twenties. They are all first-class fighters, and the handsome men and women are beautiful, and they are all good products that can be sold at a high price in the blood race.
They are half brothers and sisters, the boy is named Wu Shiqing, and the girl is named Wu Shiying. Originally, they were all from a declining noble family. In order to seek a future, they ventured to the Eternal Night Continent. As a result, not long after arriving in Yong Ye, he was captured by Wu Zhengnan's slave hunters and was about to sell them to the blood clan as seeds.
Under Qianye's hands, they were of course no longer goods. After a few days of training, the brother and sister soon showed abilities beyond their peers. So Qianye promoted them and temporarily took charge of leading a group of fighters.
Two fourth-level guard captains tried their best to look around, but they couldn't see anything except the vast darkness. But looking at Qianye's dignified expression, they knew that there was probably something in that direction, but they were too far away to detect it with their own eyesight.
At this moment, Wu Shiqing suddenly let out a low cry and said, "There are a lot of people over there!"
