Monarch of Evernight: Wrestling behind the scenes
bsp; Far East Heavy Industries has a security team of more than thirty people in each mining area. After Qianye brought the seeds to this small town, Wei Cheng transferred another team of people.
The two guard captains were both senior level four warriors, in their early thirties. When they walked into Qianye’s small building, they saw a map spread out on the long table in the reception room and study room. Thinking deeply.
The two looked at each other, feeling vaguely uneasy. They are responsible for the defense of the mining area and are much more familiar with the surrounding situation than Qianye. Naturally, they are not unaware of the unusual movements outside the town in the past two days. They just don't know where the opponent is coming from. However, in the Evernight Continent, battles can occur anytime and anywhere for various reasons, and the enemies are not just dark races.
Qianye asked them to sit down, and without beating around the bush, he directly explained what Wei Cheng had discovered after he came over in the morning and sent people to follow him.
The expressions of the two guard captains immediately changed.
One of the captains with the same surname Wei scolded him on the spot, "Damn it, Wei Cheng is a rip-off guy!"
The other captain was older and wanted to be calmer. He clicked on the map and said, "Master Qian, if Wei Cheng leaves Duanhe City and goes southwest, there is the Expeditionary Force's No. 3 Fifteenth Division."
Most of the local agents of the family are closely related to the local expeditionary force, but Wei Cheng's behavior this time may mean that he himself is not clean in this matter. The only good thing is that the local 10th Division in Broken River City does not seem to be involved, and may not have to worry about being attacked by the entire division of the expeditionary force. However, if the 15th Division and the 7th Division want to attack them across regions, they have to restrain their behavior somewhat.
Qianye said: "It seems that from now on, this place may be attacked at any time, a very violent attack."
The two guard captains looked a little bitter and asked: "Is it really...an expeditionary force?" Far East Heavy Industries is certainly not someone to be trifled with. Each of their guard teams is composed of combat soldiers. Compared with The reinforced combat units of the expeditionary force are only strong, not weak. But on the territory of the expeditionary force, no matter what, it is impossible to compete with the power of a division.
Qianye nodded, "I have so many people here. There is no danger to defend in the wilderness. Going out is a dead end. However, it should be possible for the small team to leave. You are from Far East Heavy Industries. As long as you enter Duanhe City , should not be openly attacked.”
The captain surnamed Wei shook his head and said: "Master Qian, where are you? If we leave you and run away, how will we explain it in front of the crown prince afterwards? This is tantamount to betraying the family!"
Although they did not know the inside story, as the captain of the guard, they were considered to be the stewards of the Duanhe City branch of Far East Heavy Industries. At that time, Wei Potian's messenger came to deliver the news, and they were also present to listen. The messenger had already made it clear to more than a thousand people. Ye's matter this time was a family matter, and he emphasized his authority in the Wei family and other prison deacons.
Another captain surnamed He also said: "It is really too late to leave now, and since it is the 15th Division that is behind the scenes, it is difficult to explain clearly the attitude of the 10th Division. Duanhe City may not be safe. The prince's original arrival time was tomorrow night, so he could only try his best to keep it."
The captain surnamed Wei said to Qianye: "Even the expeditionary force cannot bully the Wei family in the Far East! We have been supported by the Wei family for many years just to die at this moment. Anyway, there will naturally be someone to take care of our affairs after our death. Please rest assured, sir. , we will fight to the end!”
Captain He didn't say much, but nodded firmly.
Qianye sighed in his heart. He had no intention of letting these two escorts stay. With Wei Cheng's matter at hand, he was worried that there were others who would be infiltrated by the expeditionary force, so instead of keeping possible hidden dangers around him , it is better to let them leave directly. Besides, Qianyeben didn't want his friends to suffer too much loss in order to help him.
However, today Qianye truly saw the true nature of the noble family. Although there would be betrayers like Wei Cheng, there were more warriors like the two guard captains in front of him who were willing to die for the honor and interests of the family. This is just a low-level branch on the periphery of the Wei family. If you think about the entire family, how powerful it would be.
The three of them then discussed defense and decided to immediately reinforce the defense line and place scouts and sentries around the perimeter. Fortunately, there are heavy equipment in the Zhenhou mine that can be used as roadblocks and bunkers. Due to Wei Cheng's rebellion, the conditions in several other mining areas of Far East Heavy Industries were unclear, and the original communication channels may not be safe. The **** team also selected a few smart veterans to send out and asked them to find a way to use the Wei family's channels in nearby areas. Report what happened.
At this time, Wei Potian had just walked out of the Conquest Fort where the expeditionary army headquarters was located.
He said to those around him with a cheerful face: "Everyone said that Xiao Lingshi was particularly difficult to talk to, and he was particularly protective of his shortcomings. After seeing him today, the rumors are not very accurate!"
Both left and right said in unison: "Of course this is the crown prince, you are so wise and powerful!"
Wei Potian laughed loudly, and then laughed and scolded: "You guys, stop flattering me! Of course I know how much I weigh. However, it seems that my ability to do things has indeed improved in recent times, Xiao Lingshi The progress here is so smooth, the ancestors should be able to handle it."
Of course, there was a flood of flattery from the left and right, which made Wei Potian very excited and shouted: "Boys, all follow me! I want to see what those expeditionary troops are doing! I will take you with me this time. Open your eyes and let you get to know the good brothers I met back then! Tomorrow night, we will be there."
The group of people left the Conquest Castle and headed towards the airship base, where the Wei family's aerospace ship from the upper continent was already waiting.
When Wei Potian came specifically to visit Xiao Ling on this trip, he got the advice from his family elders that those who wanted to launch an expeditionary force on the Yongye Continent must pass Xiao Lingshi's test. But before this trip, Prince Wei didn't think of any strategies or methods at all. He was just prepared to have a big quarrel or force it if it didn't work.
However, upon meeting him, Wei Potian found that this general was particularly easy to talk to. After Xiao Lingshi heard Wei Potian's intention, he said on the spot that the forbidden transaction with the dark race was unjust. No matter how much he loved his subordinates, he would not support such people, so he asked Wei Potian to investigate and do whatever he could. Within the scope, all help can be provided to Wei Potian.
Wei Potian was greatly surprised and naturally very satisfied, so he left the Conquest Fort with satisfaction and went to find trouble with the Seventh Division and Wu Zhengnan.
Wei Potian was overflowing with confidence this time, but he wasn’t completely foolhardy. Even if he is not good at military affairs, the Wei family owns a province and has a certain influence in the empire, and there are many talents in this field. In the past month, the Wei family had already used manpower to quietly investigate Wu Zhengnan, and then began to make arrangements.
Before Wei Potian left, someone had already handed Wu Zhengnan a thick stack of accusations into his hands. With these evidences in hand, the eldest son of the Wei family can confidently visit the Eternal Night Continent. This will not only do Qianye a big favor, but also show off his ability, which is much better than that useless guy Song Qi.
Song Zining's figure was revealed behind a window of the Conquest Fort. He looked at Wei Potian who was walking away, and softly uttered one word: "Idiot!"
Beside Song Zining stood a middle-aged man wearing a general's uniform. The two gold stars on his epaulettes indicated his identity as a lieutenant general. He was tall and majestic, and his aura was as sharp as an unsheathed sword.
He was also looking at Wei Potian's back. When he heard Song Zining's rude comment, he just smiled without comment. Prince Bowang of this generation of the Wei family is very interesting. With Xiao Lingshi's background and experience, he looked down upon arrogant and arrogant playboys like Shi Clan the most. But for some reason, Prince Wei clearly looked like a fool. His words and deeds are not that annoying.
Xiao Lingshi turned his eyes to Song Zining beside him. This direct descendant of the Song Dynasty was very charming and gentle as jade when he first met. The expression of his emotions at this moment was also very interesting. However, it was not pleasant to see two very distinctive core disciples of a powerful family targeting one of his teachers.
Song Zining said: "General Xiao, don't pay attention to this idiot, let's continue talking about business."
Xiao Lingshi nodded, turned around and sat on the sofa. Song Zining also sat opposite him, took out a document, put it on the desk, and said: "This is half of the rights and interests of Chen's three mines. Please read it first."
"Then I'm welcome." Xiao Lingshi took the contract and looked at it carefully.
Song Zining sat quietly and waited patiently. Ordinarily, with Xiao Lingshi's high position, he no longer needs to be hands-on with such detailed matters, and he has the corresponding talents to take care of it for him. However, seeing Xiao Lingshi so focused on his work, Song Zining's heart skipped a beat, and his evaluation of this humble lieutenant general rose to another level.
He is talented, yet he can work hard, and he can still be relaxed at critical moments. This may be the reason why Xiao Lingshi was able to climb to such a high position at the age of less than fifty from a humble family.
Xiao Lingshi read the entire contract twice before putting it back on the table and said with satisfaction: "Seventh Young Master has done everything meticulously, and I feel relieved. There is no problem with this contract, so let's just settle it. Someone will take my token and go to your residence tomorrow to sign the contract."
Song Zining nodded in agreement, this is the right thing to do. Xiao Lingshi will not put too many assets directly in his own name. This kind of thing is not a problem at all for people who come from a wealthy family. There are many sources and channels to digest it, but the children from poor families do it anyway, but it is all a trick.
Song Zining smiled and said: "General Xiao, I just said that this is just the beginning. We will have more benefits to share in Shanyin County and even the entire Yongye Continent. After Wu Zhengnan was overthrown, the Several trading lines will fall into my hands. At that time, you will see that the profits here will be better than before. As long as the division commanders who cooperate with Wu Zhengnan do not cause trouble to me, then the original profits will be better. The income can still be maintained. Although the share must be reduced, the absolute number will not be less.”
Xiao Lingshi nodded and said: "This is best, otherwise there will be too many people who oppose it, and it will be difficult for me to handle it." He thought for a while and said: "Since the Seventh Young Master came prepared this time, he should also know Huaiyang Wu clan, have you ever thought about whether they would come out to speak?"
Song Zining's eyes flashed, Xiao Lingshi's tone was calm and he didn't mean to be mysterious. Because everyone knows that Wu Zhengnan's Wu and Huaiyang Wu's Wu are not the same thing, at least on the surface.
The only connection between the Huaiyang Wu family and this matter is that one of the suppliers, Chen Guangyu, the head of the Chen mine, is roundly considered one of the Huaiyang Wu family's in-laws. But Xiao Lingshi would not be so kind as to remind them to clean up their hands and feet after the aftermath. Since he brought it up, he must have other plans.
Song Zining smiled and said, "Whether they say anything or not, if General Xiao has other ideas, that's fine."
