After looking at the map and discussing with the Darkfire officers, Qianye and the Darkfire officers selected a mine located in the Earl's territory as the target and began to mobilize troops. He planned to garrison the main force in Heiling, leave Zhao Yuying in charge, keep the logistics and retreat unimpeded, and lead a company of elite lightly armed raids himself.
Seeing Qianye starting to choose fighters, Zhao Yuying said, "Are you serious?"
"Of course it is." Qianye was a little puzzled.
"A mine, that's a fountain that can continuously spew out gold coins!" It turned out that she was mad about money again.
Qianye smiled, "If we don't drive that old spider away, we won't be able to get as many mines as possible. It's better to set them on fire. What's more, didn't you tell me that there are still many places to mine in this branch of the mountain range?" Is there a new blackstone mine?"
Zhao Yuying habitually wanted to rest her paw on Qianye's shoulder, but Qianye gently dodged it. She rolled her eyes, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Qianye, you are so shy, are you still a baby?"
Qianye's face turned black, and he said coldly: "It's long gone, thank you for your concern."
"Oh, that's good! When you return to the upper continent, my sister will take you to the house to see and see! There are many top-quality goods there!"
The Darkfire officers around all looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, while Qianye really wanted to hold his head up. Why did the good tactical discussion go so wrongly? In the end, he could only say helplessly: "This is not something you should care about, right?"
"Sister cares about your lifelong affairs, what's wrong?" Zhao Yuying seemed confident.
Qianye really couldn't laugh or cry, how could he care about lifelong affairs in the hall? If it was just women, there would actually be quite a few around him, for example, Ah Qi and Ah Jiu who were standing not far away, looking over here vigorously.
When it comes to life-long events, there are quite a few people who care about them at this moment, including Song Zining and Wei Potian, but they are all concerned about each other's life-long events.
Song Zining and Wei Potian are playing chess. Normally, Wei Potian had nothing to do with such elegant things, but at this moment, Prince Wei was sitting on the side of the chessboard, holding a black piece in his hand, looking at Song Zining with a smile, as if he had his own famous game in his heart.
And Song Zining was proficient in miscellaneous learning, even if his chess skills were not as good as the national masters, it was still very easy to beat Wei Potian by a few blocks. But right now his expression was not hesitant, even if a group of noble ladies were watching the battle, he could hardly maintain his usual graceful demeanor, he rubbed and rubbed a handful of white stones, several of them were already cracked.
If one only looked at his demeanor, Song Zining must have reached the point where he was about to give up his pieces and admit defeat, but if he looked at the chess game, the white pieces were all very good, killing the black pieces to pieces, and the outcome was already a foregone conclusion.
But Wei Potian just didn't admit defeat, he went east and west, and even put on the posture of a big country hand talking and laughing. It was Wei Potian's turn to play again, but he didn't look at the chessboard, opened the folding fan with a swipe with his left hand, and shook it a few times indiscriminately. Wei Dashizi held the fan in a sturdy way, like holding a battle ax upside down.
However, the paintings and calligraphy on the folding fan are the works of everyone, but they look very familiar. They should be the favorite things that Song Zining has been holding in his hands for the past few days, but they somehow got into Wei Potian's hands.
Wei Potian quickly closed the folding fan, pointed at Song Zining, and said, "Look, ha, what is genius and what is romantic, aren't they all here? If there is someone in the current Song Clan who can surpass Qi Shao, I, Wei Potian, was the first to refuse!"
These words aroused laughter, Yingying Yanyan, soft and waxy, indescribably nice. Those noble ladies from aristocratic families were all watching chess, some sat beside Song Zining, some sat beside Wei Potian, and the scene was harmonious and harmonious.
Most of the scenes these days are like this, the troubles that caused Wei Potian to burn out, were split in half by Song Zining at once, how could this make Wei Potian unhappy? When Wei Dashizi seldom succeeds with tricks, Song Zining is the one who tricked him.
Song Zining's eyes brushed against Wei Potian like a knife, and he said indifferently, "Luozi."
Wei Potian was in a happy mood like drinking a bucket of ice water on a hot day, without even looking at the chessboard, he turned his head and smiled at the noble ladies, "My old Wei is just a rough man, and he has nothing to do except drink and fight with whoring girls. My favorite hobby. If I want to talk about the advantages, that is, the sound of snoring when sleeping! But, look at Qi Shao, this face, this chest... Oh, let’s look at the face! Which one is not seven or eight blocks better than me? "
He slapped his thigh, "Song Clan, that's the Song Clan! Alas, my Wei family is actually not too bad, but it's short of military expenses and can't recruit many soldiers. If this is not hit by the dark race, I, the son of the world, will I have to go to the front line to plug the leak, and I don’t know how many times I have been injured.”
Saying that, Wei Potian got up and lifted his clothes, "No, I still have a big scar on my buttocks! Come, let me show you!"
All the ladies suddenly exclaimed, then laughed coquettishly, and made a fuss, who didn't know who threw chess pieces on Wei Potian's head, and many of them landed on the chessboard. Then Wei Dashizi was so shameless that he wiped away the chess game, clamoring to regard it as a draw.
Song Zining was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he didn't dare to provoke him, otherwise Wei Potian would really be able to take off his pants, and then the scene would be messed up.
This game is definitely not going to go on. At this time, it was late at night, and all the noble ladies got up and said goodbye with a smile.
Song Zining grabbed Wei Potian who was about to slip away, lowered his voice, and said through gritted teeth, "Wei Zhutou! You know that I won't fight for the position of lord, so why are you lying to me like this!"
Wei Potian grinned, "This is an era of face-to-face, if you don't cheat who?"
Song Zining said coldly, "Qianye is much prettier than me, why don't you go trick him?"
Wei Potian stopped, looked Song Zining up and down, and said loudly, "You are really a brother!"
Song Zining replied unceremoniously: "You're not bad, otherwise you wouldn't have brought these women here!"
Wei Potian suddenly raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said deeply: "Do you know what is more important than a face?"
Song Zining subconsciously asked, "What is it?"
"strength."
Song Zining suddenly felt like an idiot, such a stupid question, such a stupid answer, he still accompanied the wild boar to ask and answer.
But this matter cannot go on like this, no matter what Wei Potian does these days, he will be involved, and every time there must be a large group of noble girls by his side. Half of Song Zining's forces were in the dark, and several special managers wanted to report back, but they couldn't show up.
Song Zining said in a deep voice: "Qianye is on the western expedition, and the logistics of Dark Fire are a big mess, and the lawsuit with the expeditionary army is not over yet, I am busy with chores, if I am entangled to death by these women, I can't do anything gone."
Wei Potian clasped his hands in front of his chest, squinted his eyes and looked at Song Zining, and suddenly smiled and said, "Dark Fire? Qianye is the head of the regiment, but I think they are all your people."
Song Zining's eyes were fixed, and the eyes of the two intertwined, like swords striking each other.
After a while, Song Zining smiled lightly and said, "This is a business partnership between Qianye and me, and my investment will eventually account for 30% of the shares. Brother Wei, even if you and I have some old grievances, don't pick this time to come to me Trouble?"
The old god Wei Potian was there, stretched out three fingers, and waved in front of Song Zining. "Alright, then you promise me one condition, you lose my three games of chess, and you lose openly, then I will give you some pointers."
Losing three games of chess is just a loss of face anyway, and it's not a big deal. Song Zining nodded immediately.
Wei Potian laughed, and said: "It's not easy to deal with these women. Just do what you need to do, as long as they don't exist. Oh, by the way, if there are any suitable candidates for them, you might as well call them out to meet them and spread them out." Some firepower is always good."
Song Zining gritted his teeth secretly when he heard this, obviously he was the target of the scattered fire.
Early the next morning, when Nangong Ling and other three noble ladies found Wei Potian, Wei Shizi was very excited, and took them to the headquarters of the Seventh Division to find Zhang Zhang for a drink.
After three cups, Wei Potian started bragging, boasting that his chess skills are invincible, and it would be easy to clean up Song Zining. Nangong Ling and the others have all seen how he cheated, so they didn't expose it immediately, they just covered their mouths and smiled.
Zhang Zining also played a few rounds with Song Ziningyi, and was beaten and returned. Hearing this, how could he be convinced, and said: "If you can beat Qi Shao, then you will be damned!"
Wei Potian waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Just that little boy? Not to mention winning him, even winning three rounds in a row is not a problem. I'm really not bragging! What are you betting on?"
Zhang Zizi laughed angrily, and said, "What does Wei Shizi want?"
Wei Potian rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I heard that you have a piece of top-quality silk-wrapped fine gold in your hand, hehe, I'm not greedy, just cut half a catty and give it to me."
Zhang Zizi couldn't help but glared at him. Rare metals such as silk-wrapped fine gold are the raw materials for advanced armor. According to Wei Potian, they are no different from cabbage. "Half a catty? It's hard to grab it, you want this thing What are you doing?"
Wei Potian said: "I already have a lot of materials, but this is the only thing I need. With it, I can find someone to make a heart armor for one of my brothers."
Zhang Zi was slightly taken aback: "Brother?"
"Qianye, you have seen the head of the dark fire before. In the ghost place of Yongye, he might die one day. With a good armor, I can feel at ease in the future."
Zhang Zizi's expression softened a lot, he thought for a while and said, "That's fine, but what are you betting on?"
"How about this fan?" Wei Potian took out Song Zining's folding fan, opened it with a snap, and flaunted both sides.
Zhang Zizi knows the goods, "This is everyone's work, and it is very valuable. But I also lead soldiers to fight, so what do you want this thing for?"
"Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that the old men don't like it. Those noble ladies like it very much. Look at their eyes!"
Next to him, Nangong Ling and the others stretched out their hands, secretly poking hard at Wei Potian's body. It's just that he has rough skin and thick flesh, and he is completely painless. As for how Song Zining's fan got into Wei Potian's hands, there seemed to be another story behind it, but no one knew.
Zhang Zi smiled and nodded, accepting the bet.
The two continued to drink, and in the afternoon, Wei Potian sent someone to deliver a letter to Song Zining, and asked that the other party was at the Dark Fire headquarters, so he dragged Zhang drunk to find Song Zining to play chess.
When sitting in front of the chessboard, Wei Potian was hiccupping all the time and was a little staggering, but even so, he went straight to three games and won the betting battle.
Zhang Zizi was dumbfounded. Although Wei Potian's chess style was open and close, and he had a lot of rules, but he had tried Song Zining's chess skills, and he was unconstrained and eclectic. He didn't think that Wei Potian could win three games in a row like this. It is impossible to say that there is no trick behind it.
But Zhang Zining could also see that although Song Zining and Wei Potian were both friends of Qianye, they were at odds in private, so how could they join forces to plot against him? After a second thought, he realized that this was probably a series of events planned by Wei Potian.
But I understand that, although Zhang Zizi was very unhappy about being tricked, he was willing to admit defeat, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to take the silk-wrapped fine gold and send it to Wei Potian's residence.
Wei Potian chuckled, without any shame, and said, "Don't take it to heart with a small trick." Then, he took out the folding fan and stuffed it directly to Zhang Zizi.
Zhang Zi was taken aback, he didn't expect that Wei Potian's original idea was to barter, the game was just a pretext, and his expression was relieved.
Song Zining watched the whole story by the side, and instantly realized that he had been fully used, and his face turned black.
At this moment, a shrill siren suddenly sounded in the sky above Heiliu City, and everyone's expressions changed. With the squadron of the Third Army patrolling outside, how could there be such a sudden alarm
Without saying a word, Zhang Zi jumped into the sky. All his personal guards rushed out, and several light off-road vehicles drove towards the nearest city wall post at full speed.
Zhang flew over the city tower by himself and looked far away, only to see four small black spots appearing in the distance. Those were four floating warships, flying towards them at a very high speed, no wonder the cruising boat outside had no time to send back a message. The opponent's speed alone has firmly suppressed most of the warships in the squadron.
Zhang Zizi's heart trembled suddenly, and he let out a howling sound that shook the sky. The frigates and destroyers of the squadron took off one after another, and the main battleship also started to heat up.
The speed of the four floating warships in the distance did not decrease, and they rushed straight towards Heiliu City. They also saw the imperial warships rising into the sky one after another in Heiliu City, so they kept playing lights.
"So it's the Red Scorpions." Zhang Zizi felt relieved.
At this time, Song Zining and Wei Potian also rushed to the city wall together, saw the approaching ship clearly, they looked at each other, their faces changed slightly.
