Monarch of Evernight: Fifty-four consignees

bsp;Qianye glanced at Ma Zhong coldly, then suddenly picked up a steel nail and inserted it deeply into his thigh.

As Ma Zhong screamed, Qianye said calmly: "This is the price you paid for betraying me. Now, tell me honestly, your identity, and the goods or transactions this time. , what exactly is it?”

The man said as fast as he could: "I really don't know what the goods are! I just waited for the delivery person to come over and pick them up, and then escorted them to the designated receiving area, where there was another person responsible for receiving the goods. But now that place is ruined.”

Hearing such a complicated handover procedure, Qianye frowned, and his intuition told him that the jade letter in his arms was probably not an ordinary letter.

"Then who are you working for?" Qianye asked again.

"I belong to the Egret Legion, which is... considered a force affiliated with Younan Province."

After hearing this answer, Qianye's thinking was interrupted for a moment.

Although Younan Province still exists in the empire's territory in name, in fact most of the area has escaped from the empire's control. It is one of the provinces with the most serious rebel activities. The so-called Egret Legion is actually a rebel army.

Qianye did not expect that Song Zining’s transaction partner this time would be the rebels. In Imperial law, the crime of dealing with rebels is on top of colluding with the dark race.

The rebels have existed for hundreds of years. The empire has repeatedly suppressed them, but they are still killing them. One place is peaceful, and the other is rising again. In recent years, the situation on the Western Continent has become increasingly severe. The rebels have a tendency to grow bigger, so much so that the empire has to transfer Marshal Lin Xitang to take charge. Even so, it is only a check and balance, but it cannot be uprooted.

Although Qianye also came into contact with some helpless things behind the "rebels" when he was on the Red Scorpion mission, however, what he saw more was when the Imperial Army was fighting against the dark race. Stabbed in the back by the rebels. Therefore, Qianye has an instinctive dislike for the rebels.

Qianye suppressed the discomfort in his heart and thought about a few strange things about this matter. Then he raised his head and looked at the woman in black. Seeing that there was no look of surprise on her face, he knew that the person in front of him had no spine. The man must have said everything he needed to say.

It turns out that Ma Zhong is a lieutenant colonel in the logistics and munitions department of the Egret Corps, and the Mr. Lin he just mentioned is his immediate boss, a deputy minister of the munitions department. The stronghold that Guisuo took away this time was a trade line that the rebels had maintained for two years. Even as Ma Zhong, he did not know the details of the other party in the transaction. He only knew that it was a wealthy family of Qin Lu. A powerful arms dealer.

As for Ma Zhong himself, although he was also directly responsible for some of the rebels' foreign transactions, this time he was just the liaison person, and it was another lieutenant colonel who actually came to receive the goods.

The man's name is Chen Lu, a female, about 27 or 28 years old, with level 7 combat power. She has been in Younan Province for ten years. Her military rank is not high, but she is a technical officer. She is responsible for purchasing and maintaining the special force array of the force gun, which is a very important position.

For this reason, after the accident, Ma Zhongcai still held on to slim hope that maybe the rebels would send someone to rescue him.

When Qianye heard this, he turned around and asked the woman in black, "Has Chen Lu fallen into your hands too?"

"After the stronghold was captured, all the survivors were taken away by the headquarters." The woman in black said, and added, "It has been three or four days since the incident happened. What they should say and what they should not say should be It’s all been said.”

Qianye looked at the woman in black who had gradually regained her composure, smiled unexpectedly, and said: "But just like that, you still don't know my identity and what I brought. So, as long as I If you leave, this thing will no longer exist?"

The woman in black replied with a charming smile, this time her expression was naturally much more lively, "Although you are very powerful, you cannot compete with the entire Guinsoo. Apart from anything else, our leader in charge of this area is A warrior. You are so young, strong and have a bright future, so give up!"

Qianye smiled again. He seemed a little moved and turned his attention to Ma Zhong. When Ma Zhong heard the conversation between the two, fear began to show on his face, and he opened his mouth to say something.

However, Qianye took the lead and said, "But I'm still a little worried. For example, this Ma Zhong, although he said he didn't know the specific details of the transaction, it's always a troublesome to keep him."

The woman in black hesitated and said: "Although the employer wants him alive, since there is nothing more that can be squeezed out of his mouth, it doesn't matter if he kills him."

In order to protect herself, the woman in black has been trying to persuade Qianye Mingzhe to protect himself and leave from the lobby on the ground floor, so she repeatedly made it clear and hinted that Guisuo had no idea about Qianye's origins and identity. At this time, she saw that Qianye's tone finally relaxed, and she could not care about the client's request. In comparison, of course her own life was more important in front of her.

Ma Zhong, on the other hand, was shocked. It was the first time he heard that Guisuo's client actually specified that he wanted to live. What made him even more frightened was that the mysterious deliveryman who had passed through Guisuo's heavy siege actually wanted to kill him. Silence!

"No, don't! You can't!" Ma Zhong shouted.

Qianye's eyes swept over Ma Zhong without any warmth, making the latter tremble, "Since this transaction line has been cut off, or because of your incompetence, then just cut it off completely. ."

"And! I also know a secret!" Ma Zhong hissed, "Save me, this secret is definitely worth it!"

Qianye said calmly: "Oh? Let's talk about it."

Ma Zhong's mood has been ups and downs several times, and he has begun to pant, "First... put me down first."

An unknown light flashed in Qianye's eyes, and he quickly pulled out the steel nails on Ma Zhong's wrists with his bare hands.

Ma Zhong fell heavily to the ground, breathed for a while, and then said: "Chen Lu is from the Song clan, and it is even possible that her original surname is Song."

Some thoughts suddenly flashed through Qianye's mind, so fast that he could hardly catch them, but he was already keenly aware that this accident was by no means purely for profit. In other words, Guisuo's client not only wanted to rob the goods in a cunning way, but also had other motives behind it.

The key to the matter may be the dual identity Chen Lu mentioned by Ma Zhong.

"Song Clan?" Qianye raised his eyebrows and glanced at the woman in black.

As soon as the eyes of the woman in black and Qianye met, her face turned pale again, and the fear in her eyes was even worse than before. This was the first time she had heard of this matter, and as a member of the Guinsou assassins, she knew very well that knowing this kind of secret, especially involving a behemoth like the Song clan, would definitely be a life-threatening talisman.

Ma Zhong's eyes were fixed on Qianye, like a drowning man searching for driftwood.

He couldn't see any expression on Qianye's face. He was afraid that he wouldn't be believed, so he nodded desperately and said: "It's the Song clan, absolutely right! I accidentally saw Chen Lu interacting with a person, and that person I I met her in Donglu a long time ago. She was a steward of the Song Dynasty. Later, I followed her twice and heard a few words from them on one of them. "

The implications of this message are complex and wide-ranging. The Song clan is one of the four great clans, the backbone of the imperial aristocracy, and is of course at odds with the rebels from a standpoint.

Since Chen Lu is the secret agent planted by the Song clan among the rebels, if her identity is exposed, it will be a fatal disaster for her. For the Song clan, in addition to losing an informant, they may also be followed and destroy some related people and things.

However, things are not that simple. Now it is almost certain that Song Zining is using this line to make deals with the rebels. If this happens, he will be charged with collaborating with the enemy.

Qianye said calmly: "This news is really valuable, at least it will allow her to do something." If Ma Zhong used this as a blackmail, he would indeed be very likely to get some benefits from Chen Lu.

Ma Zhong hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "I have indeed thought about it, but... I haven't had time yet."

Qianye suddenly asked: "Who did you sell her to?"

Ma Zhong responded reflexively: "I didn't!" Then he seemed to suddenly remember something, his pupils shrank, showing an extremely frightened look.

Qianye said what Ma Zhong was thinking at this time, "Then why did Guisuo's client want to keep you alive?"

If the target of the robber is just this batch of goods, after catching the real consignee, Ma Zhong, the middleman who knows nothing about anything, will have no value, and he can kill him directly to avoid future troubles. Now that the other party has named a living person, he obviously intends to keep him as a witness. Then the one Ma Zhong can testify against is his colleague, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Lu.

Ma Zhong's expression changed, his eyes flickered, his mouth moved, but he made no sound. However, when he was still hesitating, he suddenly felt a cold feeling in his throat, and then he lost consciousness.

"What are you doing!" The woman in black trembled all over, her voice rising uncontrollably, as if she would scream the next moment.

She saw Qianye pull out a short knife and slit Ma Zhong's throat. The woman in black is not a little girl who has never seen blood, but Qianye's movements that are so stable that they never seem to deviate even an inch make her unable to help but tremble.

"This kind of person can be sold to anyone, so why should I keep him?" Qianye's tone was still calm, but he was trying to suppress the waves of irritation in his heart.

At this moment, Qianye has no interest in pursuing what Ma Zhong did or did not do. The cause is no longer important.

The situation is obvious. Song Zining's transaction has been exposed, and it is the worst-case scenario. The people behind the scenes are not satisfied with ending this transaction line, and are also arresting witnesses. That means that Song Zining himself is also in danger.

Qianye took a deep breath, raised his eyes, looked at the woman in black, and said, "Tell me the location of your regional headquarters."

"You can't fight Guinsoo!" The woman in black still wanted to fight for it.

Crimson teeth danced on Qianye’s fingertips, and his handsome face was half-hidden in the shadow of the dim light. "There is someone alive in the hall, and there is someone upstairs who is still alive, and he seems to have a higher status than you." Be higher."
