Monarch of Evernight: Ninety-three resettlement

bsp;The branches of powerful families are another powerful force in the Evernight Continent besides the expeditionary force. They are basically very arrogant, and sometimes even the city lord and the expeditionary force don't look down on them.

Qianye was not in the mood to argue with this kind of person. He took out the jade ring and said calmly: "This is the emblem of the deacon of the prison. Please come out." The ring is not infused with force, and the crossed swords cannot be seen. , but the eagle-head relief of Wei in the Far East is still clearly visible.

A guard said sarcastically: "We have never received a contact letter. Who knows where you got this thing from? How dare you show off on the Wei family's property... ."

Before he finished speaking, another guard next to him covered his mouth. Then the guard bowed slightly to Qianye and said: "Please wait a moment, I will ask the steward to come out. No matter which level of elder this emblem is, we cannot identify it."

Qianye nodded calmly. A high-class family like the Far Eastern Wei family has a strict family tradition and has very strict restraints on their clan members and servants. In fact, just by looking at the performance of the outermost members, you can roughly know what kind of situation this family is in. If you can't even control the servants, it's not far from ruin.

The guard rushed in, and a moment later a strong man hurriedly walked out of the building. When he saw the simple jade ring in Qianye's hand, his eyebrows jumped. The deacons of the Supervisory Court are the highest ranking among the deacons outside the Wei family. They are several levels higher than the chief steward of a small branch in Duanhe City on the Yongye Continent. They usually have big things to do when they come down, so how could they even get the slightest news in advance? Can't hear it? .

The middle-aged man introduced himself to Qianye first. His name was Wei Cheng, and he was the second manager of the Duanhe branch of Far East Heavy Industries. He was currently in charge of affairs. The first manager returned to the upper continent to reconcile accounts a few months ago.

Wei Cheng respectfully invited Qianye into the hall, and then took the ring for inspection. He said, "The deacon seems to be a stranger. I wonder what business you are here for this time?"

Qianye has been observing Wei Cheng for a while. He seems to be respectful, but in fact he is shrewd. He is testing his intentions both inside and outside his words. He does not look like someone who is easy to deal with.

When Wei Cheng asked, Qianye smiled and said: "Wei Qiyang gave me the emblem of the deacon of the Supervisory Academy, just to facilitate daily operations. If you need to use resources, you should be able to get this authority." He took off the emblem from his neck The silver necklace is placed on the table.

Wei Cheng was shocked. Wei Qiyang was the name of Bowang Hou's son. Although his surname is Wei, he is too far away from the Crown Prince. Normally, Crown Prince Wei may never set foot in this small city in his life.

Wei Cheng put away all his thoughts at this time. He handed the ring back to Qianye, then took the necklace with both hands and injected a trace of force into the eagle head pendant. Immediately, the array in the square card was lit up, and a single-layer feather crown appeared on the eagle's head, which was the symbol of Hou Shizi.

"Yes, it is the prince's token! May I ask what your instructions are?"

"I have a group of people who need to be resettled. Do you have a camp outside the city?"

Wei Cheng said hurriedly: "Young master, are there still any personal followers outside the city? I will arrange for people to lead them into the city right away. Although Duanhe City is small, several houses can still be tidied up, and I guarantee that they can be settled properly. ”

Qianye shook his head and said: "There is no need to go into the city. It is best to arrange it outside the city. I have a lot of people with me, and I still need to prepare clothes, quilts and food."

"How many people are there in the young master's personal entourage?"

"About seven hundred people."

Wei Cheng was startled, but this time he had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. After thinking for a moment, he found a map, pointed to a location and said, "What do you think? It's twenty kilometers east of the city. Outside, there is a mine owned by the Wei family. There is a small town nearby. There is not much work in the mine at this time, and most of the houses in the town are empty. If they are crowded, they should be able to accommodate these people, but the conditions are a little difficult. Point."

"It doesn't matter, it's already good. That's right there." Qianye looked at the map carefully, habitually keeping all the surrounding terrain and road conditions in mind.

Wei Cheng took action immediately. He called in the stewards in charge of various supplies one by one, assigned tasks one by one in front of Qianye, and arranged the food, clothing, housing and transportation of more than 700 people in a very appropriate manner. He even considered the need for security and ordered the arsenal to allocate a batch of guns and ammunition. Even though they were all gunpowder weapons, they were enough to cope with ordinary situations.

Although being able to come up with so many resources at once is a sign of the Wei family's heritage, Wei Cheng managed to arrange everything in an orderly manner in a short period of time, which is obviously very capable.

After settling this group of people, Qianye can finally let go of one thing. He also asked Wei Cheng to send a letter and tell Wei Potian the news about his stay.

Qianye made the decision on the road not to allow this group of people to enter the city. This batch of seeds was worth a lot of money. The Heiliu City defense area alone could not produce such quantity and quality. He suspected that there might be shadows of other divisions of the expeditionary force behind it.

Duanhe City is under the jurisdiction of the 10th Division of the Expeditionary Force. Far East Heavy Industries here is like a trading company. Although there are also large-scale elite private armies, they certainly cannot compare with the Expeditionary Force in terms of strength. Therefore, if you rush into the city with seeds, you may end up falling into a trap. Even if the 10th Division is clean in this matter, there is no guarantee that there is any connection between these adjacent defense zones. Only after reuniting with Wei Potian can we be considered truly safe.

Qianye did not stay in Duanhe City for long. He left the city early the next morning and disappeared into the vast wilderness.

Wei Cheng took all the prisoners captured by Qianye and promised to deal with them cleanly. Wei Cheng's treatment method followed the usual practice. Most of them were sent to work in more remote mines. A small number of ferocious and unruly ones were sold to slave traders. As for these handling methods, Qianye didn't ask, and Wei Cheng didn't say anything.

Qianye was doing something else at this time. He spent three days alone in the wilderness, retracing his previous escape route to Broken River City. If there were dark races or others following him, they would most likely be ambushed by Qianye. Qianye did not turn back to Duanhe City until he confirmed that there were no pursuers behind him.

Far East Heavy Industries occupies a total of six mines around Duanhe City, including four black stone mines and two metal mines. The people Qianye rescued were placed in a small town next to a black stone mine. After learning the identities and origins of this group of people, Wei Cheng sent over a hundred additional private soldiers, called protection, but actually to keep them under guard, fearing that some of these people would escape while Qianye was away. indivual.

Except for not being allowed to leave the mine, life is arranged in an orderly manner. Men, women, and children all had their own homes, and the soldiers formed separate teams.

Since the miners usually live in the mining area, the town is for the managers and their families who come to supervise the work during the peak mining season. Therefore, it is not large. After more than 700 people are crammed into it, the living conditions are similar to those of slaves. Camp is almost the same. So starting from the next day, Wei Chenggong arranged for this group of people to cut wood and build houses. It would not take long to double the size of the town.

When Qianye came back, everything in the town was on track.

On the street entering the town, Qianye saw an unexpected acquaintance, Song Zining.

The Seventh Young Master of the Song Dynasty was with the children. He was still as gentle as spring water, and he was talking continuously. The children were standing in a circle, raising their heads and listening in ecstasy.

Qianye walked over quickly and shouted: "Zi Ning!"

Song Zining raised his head and saw Qianye, whose warm and intoxicating smile was a bit more genuine. He bent down and said a few more words to the children, asking them to disperse. Then he met Qianye, hugged him, and said with a smile: "I thought I was doing things quickly enough, but I didn't expect you to do it faster than me."

When Qianye heard what Song Zining said, he knew that he had some clues about tracking the source of the black crystal behind Wu Zhengnan. He couldn't help but smile and explained a few words. He wasn't ready to take action at first, but he changed his mind when he saw that the traded commodities were people.

Song Zining didn't take it seriously and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter. There are many variables in this kind of thing. You can do it as fast as you can, as long as Wei Potian doesn't wait too long."

Qianye looked around and said, "Let's talk in my room."

What Wei Cheng arranged for Qianye was naturally the best small building in the town. But the town is shabby, and the best is not much better.

Song Zining walked around the building and said loudly: "The Wei family of the Far East arranges a place like this for their prince's friends? It seems to be no different from the foreman of the mine."

However, the seventh son of the Song Dynasty did not come alone. He gave an order, and a total of thirty or forty people including maids, attendants, and guards poured in from outside the town. The servants filed in and in a blink of an eye the simple building was cleaned and decorated in a presentable manner. Song Zining even brought two cooks with him, and they were already cooking in the makeshift kitchen.

Seeing Song Zining in such a pomp, Qianye finally understood why he was willing to camp outside the town and wait instead of coming into the town. Maybe the conditions for his camping were better than those in the town.

Qianye shook his head helplessly and said: "It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. I want this place. I don't want to go to the city to avoid trouble."

Song Zining nodded and said: "It's right not to enter the city. You are outside the city, and the people of the 10th Division can still pretend to be stupid. If they lead so many people into the city in a big way, they will not be able to pretend to be stupid even if they want to. ."

Having said this, Song Zining glanced at Qianye and said: "With such a good batch of seeds and such a large quantity, the total price of the entire transaction is estimated to reach tens of thousands of gold coins. Just one seventh division But if you don't have such a big deal, maybe several nearby divisions will get involved. Your blow will hurt Wu Zhengnan."

Qianye suddenly said apologetically: "Zi Ning, it seems that the things involved are getting deeper and deeper. I'm sorry for dragging you in."

When Qianye had the idea of ​​dealing with Wu Zhengnan, it was just a vague idea. In fact, he didn't really know how to do it. When he moved forward step by step with the help of his friends, he discovered that this was a whirlpool with a wide range of implications. Behind every thread he pulled out, there would be an inextricable web. Of course Qianye himself didn't have the slightest fear, it was just his friends who worried him.

Song Zining laughed and said nonchalantly: "No matter how troublesome it is, he is a civilian-born expeditionary force commander. Speaking of which, it is much easier than killing Gu Liyu."

ps: Thank you to the new leader Xiao Tu’s brother (--|||), Jun Youqian (not seen for many years), I want to file a complaint against you (--|||)

I have to express my appreciation...the imagination of the alliance leaders in naming!
