Monarch of Evernight: Silent Contest 105
bsp;Wei Potian's face darkened and he said: "Qianye is my brother, there is nothing I can't say in front of him."
The old man then said: "This matter now seems to be very involved. I'm afraid it's not just a matter of a few divisions, but maybe also a big person mediating in the middle. This actually involves the internal affairs of the expeditionary corps. Although my Far Eastern Wei family I'm not afraid of trouble, but in the Evernight Continent, I still have to respect General Xiao Lingshi and just kill one or two divisions that offend you. It's really not appropriate to go to war."
After the old man finished speaking, without waiting for Wei Potian to reply, he bowed to Qianye and said in a respectful tone: "I wonder what Mr. Qian's wishes are?"
Qianye did not expect that the old man would suddenly ask Wei Potian what he meant, but as soon as he thought about it, he realized that this incident could be said to be caused by him. Although the Wei family could also benefit from it, but with Compared with the resources invested, the level is unsatisfactory at best.
To launch a major war on the Evernight Continent must have exceeded the Wei family's bottom line. This is not a contest between the Wei family and the expeditionary corps in terms of who is stronger in the court and in the army, but a deep-seated issue of whether the feudal lords can meddle in the affairs of the Evernight Continent at will. The meaning of this Wei family old man's words was very clear, which was to prevent the crown prince from expanding the situation infinitely for Qianye and eventually getting out of control.
Qianye immediately said: "Potian, the relationship between Wu Zhengnan and I is just a personal feud, and I don't want to create any more complications. Everything happened because of him alone, and he also occupies a core position in the taboo transaction with the dark race. In this case, I think it’s enough to focus on the culprit.”
Wei Potian glanced at him and said hello. Then he turned around and found that he had arrived near a high wall near the gate of the town. Under the wall were the captured expeditionary force officers. His anger suddenly rose again and he said: "But when I see these guys, I don't get angry." Come here, I really want to kill them all!”
At this time, the old man from the Wei family said again: "Young master, they are just following orders. Since they have been caught, there is nothing wrong with killing them, but there are still many outsiders here..."
His voice was so low that only Wei Potian and Qianye could hear it clearly. What the old man actually meant was that if there were no outsiders, then he would just kill them. But killing prisoners will always affect the reputation of the Wei family and the Crown Prince if they are seen by others. Qianye was not considered an outsider, but those bloodline seeds and the guards from Far East Heavy Industries were all outsiders.
Wei Potian let out a heavy breath and said, "That's fine! Let's get the business done first."
In addition to tidying up the town and treating the injured, there are still a lot of things to do in the aftermath. There is no need to worry about security and defense. When Wei Potian arrived, he had already sent someone to Duanhe City to send a liaison letter to the 10th Division. Prince Bowang and the current lieutenant colonel of the Broken Wings Angel Corps, no matter which identity was attacked in the local defense zone , the 10th Division can't escape its involvement, so pretending to be deaf will never happen again. The captured officers of the 15th Division were sent back to their division headquarters, waiting for the 15th Division to give an explanation that would satisfy the Wei family.
The next day, Wei Potian took Qianye on the airship and flew directly to Black Current City. This time, Crown Prince Wei acted very quickly, without any delay along the way. After landing outside Heiliu City in the afternoon, he directly gathered the broken-winged angels and Wei family soldiers who were besieging the city, and rushed into the city without stopping.
The soldiers of the expeditionary force guarding the city may have received the order a long time ago. No one dared to step forward to stop these ferocious beasts. More than ten heavy-duty trucks drove straight in and rushed towards the 7th Division headquarters. They rushed straight to the gate and then parked sideways. , but directly blocked the division headquarters door.
Wei Potian jumped down from the cab, took a look at the inconspicuous buildings in front of him, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this the headquarters of the 7th Division? It doesn't look like it!"
A person nearby replied: "Master, this is indeed where it is, at least that's how it's marked on the map. Look, it says it on the sign over there!"
Wei Potian finally found the sign that read "Seventh Division of the Expeditionary Force". After looking at it for a long time, he was still a little doubtful. From the outside, the 7th Division Headquarters looks like a large courtyard with several old and ordinary office buildings scattered inside. This division has quite a history and has not changed at all in the past ten years.
Wei Potian was accustomed to seeing the majestic and magnificent divisions of the main army of the empire. When he suddenly saw the office of the 7th Division, Wei Potian thought he had arrived at a barracks of some scattered warriors in the countryside, but then he thought about it. Aren’t the expeditionary forces just stragglers in the countryside?
Wei Potian immediately strode towards the division headquarters gate. Several guards guarding the gate reflexively shouted with their guns in hand: "Who dares to break into the division headquarters' important territory! I'm looking for death to help you!"
The Wei family did not move, but the soldiers of the Broken Wing Angel were not so good-tempered, and many of them reached for their weapons at their waists. With just one order, they could kill the two rows of soldiers guarding the door in an instant.
Qianye stood in the Wei family's **** team and sighed softly in his heart. He was very clear about the "casualty indicators" of elite legions such as the Broken Wing Angels. Killing these ordinary soldiers did not even use the casualty indicators. They were prepared for nobles above lieutenants and at least nobles with noble status.
At this time, a major rushed over from the division headquarters compound and shouted urgently: "Put down your guns, everyone put down your guns!" The guards put down their guns reluctantly, and they also realized that the intruder was evil. , still staring at the group of people in front of him with fierce eyes.
The major ran up to Wei Potian. He identified the leader at a glance and said in a deep voice: "This is the Prince Bowang of the Wei family, Young Master Qiyang, right? Prince Wei, you don't know about our expedition. Why did the army offend the Wei family? Not only did you block the city gate, but now you directly blocked the headquarters of our seventh division! You are also a member of the imperial army. Blocking the military road is equivalent to interfering with military affairs. According to the imperial law, it is I don’t need to say more about what the crime is?”
Wei Potian remained silent. The lieutenant colonel of Broken Wing Angel took two steps and stood behind him without answering. Neither of them had any intention of talking to the major.
The major gritted his teeth and said loudly: "What do you mean by this? Our expeditionary force is stationed in the wilderness for the empire, bleeding and sweating, and even the military pay is insufficient! That's it, brothers fight for their lives against the dark race, and we will pay back when we come back Do you want to be insulted like this? We are also imperial people and have imperial souls. No matter how old you are, we will appeal to the military for this matter! I don’t believe it is unreasonable, brothers. I can’t get some fair treatment!”
The major's impassioned words resonated with the already angry guards nearby.
However, Wei Potian had no expression on his face. After the major finished speaking, he said calmly: "You are the only ones who have fought and shed blood against the dark race? I saw that you were very dedicated to beating your own people. ”
The lieutenant colonel of the broken-winged angel also spoke at this time, and said slowly: "Do you want to take the matter to the military headquarters? Very good! Brother Zhang, it's your turn!"
A man in his thirties came out in response. He and several unidentified people joined the team quietly after Wei Potian arrived. This man named Zhang looks like an ordinary civil servant, and his body is slightly thin.
He walked up to the major, took out a badge from his pocket, waved it, put it away again, and said calmly: "Go tell Wu Zhengnan that I will wait for him for five minutes. If he doesn't come out in five minutes, then we will leave. In addition, if you repeat what you just said, everyone here must follow me."
When the major saw the badge, his eyes widened and his body trembled uncontrollably. He suddenly turned around and rushed towards the division headquarters at full speed. The man named Zhang calmly took out a small Force sundial from his pocket, dialed the setting time, then closed his eyes slightly and waited calmly.
At the moment just now, Qianye caught a glimpse of the corner of the badge. Although I didn't see the whole thing, any Imperial person would be impressed by the special shape and color scheme. That is the badge of the Imperial Military Police.
Since even the Imperial Military Police have been dispatched, it is obvious that the matter has entered the formal impeachment process at the upper level, and it is not something that the expeditionary legion can cover up if they want to or not. It seems that the Wei family has indeed done enough preparation beforehand for this trip.
At four minutes and fifty seconds, Wu Zhengnan appeared from the military headquarters building. His figure flashed continuously, and in an instant he crossed the square of several hundred meters and appeared in front of everyone.
Wu Zhengnan glanced at the many people in front of him, his eyes lingered on Wei Potian and the Lieutenant Colonel of Broken Wing Angel for a while, and said calmly: "Even the military police inspectors from the military headquarters are here. It seems that My little teacher has really alarmed the adults. Now that I'm here, please follow me in. But you'd better restrain your subordinates. If someone is killed, my subordinates may not be like me. Bear it."
The lieutenant colonel of Broken Wing Angel sneered and said: "If you had come out earlier, nothing would have happened. You don't care about their lives, how can we care so much."
Wu Zhengnan glanced at the lieutenant colonel, smiled, and said, "You are still young. If it takes another six or seven years, I will not be your opponent."
The lieutenant colonel was startled, and then his face turned extremely ugly.
The group fell silent, and no one spoke anymore. Instead, they followed Wu Zhengnan towards the tallest office building in the middle. In the division headquarters compound, more and more expeditionary force soldiers poured out from the barracks on both sides, staring fiercely at Wei Potian and his party, as if they were ready to rush forward at any time.
The atmosphere within a short distance of a few hundred meters was particularly solemn, as if a pack of wolves were waiting around, and they would pounce on and tear apart their prey whenever there was a gap. Some of the guards outside the Wei family were already shaky, which was actually a sign of cowardice. The warriors of Broken Wing Angel showed extraordinary qualities at this time. They were younger overall, but they were calm without any fluctuations.
However, nothing happened until everyone walked up to the floor where the conference room was located. It seemed that Wu Zhengnan just pulled out many expeditionary force soldiers to scare them.
Qianye frowned imperceptibly when he heard several Wei family guards talking in low voices around him. He didn't think Wu Zhengnan would do such a boring thing. If there was a chance just now, Wu Zhengnan would definitely order an attack and completely surround them in the division headquarters.
This section of the road is actually not smooth.
But Inspector Zhang and his military police were strong, and there was a whole squadron of broken-winged angels. Wu Zhengnan probably felt that there was no chance, so he did not take action.
The officers all walked into the conference room, and Qianye followed the guards of the Wei family in and sat down silently in the corner of the last row. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze on him. He raised his head and found Wu Zhengnan looking at him. In a room full of officers and senior guards of level six or level seven, Qianye's age and level stood out.
"My Excellency, Zhang Youheng, is currently the Colonel Supervisory Envoy of the Military Police Headquarters. This is the relevant document for this supervision activity." As he spoke, Zhang Youheng took out an official document and pushed it gently, and the paper slid across the long The long tabletop stopped exactly in front of Wu Zhengnan.
Wu Zhengnanzi read the official document carefully and checked the double seals of the Imperial Ministry and the Constitutional Ministry Headquarters. He nodded, signed his name casually, and then handed the official document to the adjutant behind him, signaling for him to accept it. stand up.
This move slightly relaxed the tense atmosphere in the conference room.
Accepting the official document means that Wu Zhengnan is still willing to accept the constraints of the Imperial Ministry, rather than planning to rebel. There was a precedent before. An expeditionary force division commander suddenly launched an attack when the military headquarters sent people to investigate. He killed all the people who came to investigate and defected to the side of the dark race with most of the division.
