Jackson didn't disappoint Yang Yi, and it didn't take much effort for him to find an acquaintance.

Although Yang Yi and Lin Feng didn't need to follow, the two of them had nothing else to do. Considering that the two don't know the place well and are likely to get into trouble or be targeted by people with ulterior motives, Jackson can only take them with him. Besides, two more helpers isn't a bad thing.

Of course, Jackson introduced this "acquaintance" to Yang Yi and Lin Feng.

This guy is called Ventola, and he comes from the Far Southern Regions, and is the Icemen, a sparsely populated race that split off from the Arctic Race. He is an intelligence broker whose main business is to sell critical information to pirates, such as the cargo and routes of a convoy of transports. In any pirate base, there are intelligence brokers like him, and no pirate will actively fight with them. At the beginning, Jackson relied on the information provided by Ventola to avoid the pirates who were going to kidnap the local tyrant and successfully delivered the local tyrant to his destination. Ventola got into trouble by selling the information to Jackson, and later got out of trouble by staying in Jackson Shan State.

It was in this way that Ventola became friends with Jackson.

In Jackson's words, although more than a hundred years have passed, Ventola owes him a favor, so asking him for help should not be too much of a problem.

However, Jackson also made it clear that no intelligence broker should be fully trusted.

To put it bluntly, if an intelligence broker can sell intelligence, he can also sell something else.

According to Jackson's orders, Yang Yi and Lin Feng are still dressed as male and female thieves, and they are Jackson's subordinates, that is, members of the Warrior Mercenary Group. Although the Warrior Mercenary Regiment has long ceased to exist, this place is very far away from the North Fourth District, and Ventola may not know that Jackson and the others have been recruited by the Human Federation.

Following the marks along the way, Jackson took Yang Yi and Lin Feng to Ventola's residence.

Whether it's pirates. or mercenaries, they all have a unique set of contact methods, most of which are marks that can only be recognized by their own people.

The place is not big, just a small house with an area of less than a hundred square meters.

Obviously, Ventola is usually very low-key.

Of course, this is also a characteristic of intelligence brokers. Not the same as the arrogant pirates. Intelligence brokers are very low-key, because for intelligence brokers, if they get into trouble, even if they don't lose their lives, they will lose their jobs. You know, no pirate wants to buy information from an intelligence broker who acts arrogantly on a daily basis, because the information betrayed by such an intelligence broker is often very problematic.

"Wait, don't mess around."

Yang Yi and Lin Feng both nodded. Indicates that he understands what Jackson meant.

With a sigh of relief, Jackson knocked on the door.

"Who?" It was a long time before an inquiry came from inside the door.

"It's me, Jackson."

"I don't know you, and we don't accept strangers here."

"Ventola, you don't even know me anymore? I came all the way and you left me outside? Open the door, or don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Yang Yi and Lin Feng were very surprised. But it didn't show up.

At first, Jackson also told them not to mess around. And listening to what Jackson said, if the people in the door don't open the door again, he will slam the door.

"I said, I don't know you, please leave immediately, or ......"

Jackson didn't say anything more. Reached out and grabbed the doorknob.

Although he didn't exert all his strength, the original energy that poured out of him immediately melted the doorknob, and the scorching heat quickly spread to the door panel.

"Ahh

"Ventola, do you want me to smash the door open?"

"Don't, wait a minute."

With a scream. After a few more moments, the door opened. Standing behind the door was an iceman, with a very obvious physiognomy and physiognomy.

"Ventola, are you tired of being alive? My brother came all the way here, and you said you didn't know him! I knew that I wouldn't have saved you back then, and let those guys from the Beast Clan slaughter you and feed you to the dogs. ”

"Brother, it's really you."

"What, can there be fake?"

"Come in, please come in." Ventola opened the door and looked at Yang Yi and Lin Feng at the same time.

"They're my men." Jackson said casually and entered the room.

Yang Yi and Lin Feng were not verbose, nodded at Ventola, said hello, and then followed Jackson into the room.

When the three of them entered, Ventola glanced outside again before closing the door.

"Yes, your little life is still very comfortable."

"Brother, look at what you say. It's all thanks to you, if it wasn't for you, I would have been doomed a long time ago. ”

"Yes, you remember."

Inside is a large room, in fact, there is only one room in this house. Although the furnishings are not luxurious, they are considered extravagant in this ghost place.

"Brother, you came all the way here, you won't ......"

"Collect money from people and eliminate disasters for others, right?"

Ventola was slightly stunned, understood what Jackson meant, and didn't ask any more questions.

"I'm coming to you, in addition to catching up, there is one more thing I want your help with."

Ventola nodded and invited Jackson to sit down. He looked at Yang Yi and Lin Feng again, but Jackson didn't let Yang Yi and Lin Feng avoid it, so it was not easy to ask more.

"Brother, let's be honest, my brother has defected to the federal authorities and is now a federal soldier."

Yang Yi and Lin Feng were secretly shocked, and they didn't understand why Jackson blew himself up. It's just that the two of them didn't say anything, and now is not the time to talk nonsense.

"This ......"

"This time, I'm here on a mission." Jackson let out a long breath and said, "Presumably, you've heard that the Human Federation sent an envoy to the Alliance Star. ”

Ventola was slightly stunned, although he didn't speak, but his expression showed that he knew these things.

"My mission is to secretly protect the envoy."

"Dude, you know the rules of our business."

"Of course, it's just that I have no other way, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you."

"Dude......"

"Not long ago, the ship the envoy was in went missing around here, and at least as far as I know, the small ship didn't appear at the nearby node as it normally would. It's not clear what happened, but it's likely that it was attacked. Otherwise, you won't lose contact. Jackson paused for a moment and said, "I can't disclose the rest, but the envoy's destination is the Hidden Spirit Star, and the Hidden Spirit Clan has been notified before leaving. If the envoy doesn't arrive at the Hidden Spirit on time. The Council of the Alliance will certainly inquire about the Hidden Spirits. At that time, in order to give an explanation to the Human Federation and an answer to the Alliance Council, the Hidden Spirits will definitely launch a search operation. ”

Ventola was stunned again, and heard Jackson's overtones.

"Of course, it would be nice to be able to find an envoy. It's just that I'm worried. If it was a pirate who attacked the envoy, then after the matter was a big deal. It's sure to kill people. I've come to you to get information and find the envoy before the Hidden Spirits take action. ”

"Dude......"

"Brother didn't ask you, did he?"

Ventola sighed and didn't say anything more.

"Besides, if the envoy is killed, it won't be you, or everyone here. It certainly won't end well. Jackson shook his head with a wry smile and said. You should know that the Human Federation is an ally of the Hidden Spirits. Now that the Sixth Greenwich War has broken out, the Human Federation is deciding the fate of the Galactic Alliance. With so much at stake, the Hidden Spirits would never let this matter go unchecked. If it's really a pirate who attacked the envoy, even if it's not a pirate here. In order to appease the human federation and the wrath of the Alliance Council, the Hidden Spirits will make a big move. If the envoy dies at the hands of pirates, I am afraid that the Hidden Spirits will send out their legions to eliminate all the pirates in the central region. ”

"This ......"

"You think, by that time. Can you still live here and enjoy a comfortable life? ”

Ventola gritted her teeth, her expression visibly shaken.

"Of course, you can run away and go somewhere else to make a living. It's just that, as an iceman, you know more about those top civilizations than I do. Jackson smiled faintly and said, "Also, it's a time of war, and the Galactic Alliance will soon have a full-scale war mobilization. By that time, do you think there's still a place for you in the Southern Alpha system? I'm not threatening you, I just hope you understand. ”

"Give me some time."

Jackson's brow jumped a few times, and he didn't rush to speak.

"I've heard what you said, that the human envoy's ship did appear around here, and it didn't make its way to the next node. It's just that all I've heard is rumors, and there is no reliable information yet. Ventola glanced at Jackson before saying, "I understand what you're saying, it's just that it takes time to gather information. Anyway, I'll help you find out. ”

"Brother, you're mistaken."

"What?"

"It's not for me, it's for yourself." Jackson smiled and said, "The people up there know I'm here, and they know who I've been here for." ”

"You ......"

"Brother, I didn't mean to deal with you, as a soldier, I have to obey orders. Of course, as a soldier, I would be very disappointed if I didn't get the job done. ”

Ventola was secretly startled, and then sighed.

Clearly, Jackson was threatening him, and very directly.

"Okay, I'll give you some time." Jackson stood up and said, "Twelve hours, and then ......."

"Not enough, it will take at least three days."

"Twenty-four hours at most, and I'll come back to you this time tomorrow."

"Dude......"

"Of course, you can choose to escape. It's just that I have to make it clear. If you run away, you're no longer my friend Jackson. ”

Ventola was speechless, but she didn't dare to speak.

"Alright, I'll stop bothering you. Remember, you only have one day. ”

Leaving these words, Jackson called Yang Yi and Lin Feng and left Ventola's residence. As for Ventola's channels to gather intelligence, Jackson didn't care, because Jackson's purpose was not for Ventola to collect intelligence, but to spread the news through Ventola. (To be continued......)
