Chapter 12 Trust
The Gaohu people were in a commotion again, they didn't expect Qingyue to speak so highly of Qianye. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAccording to the criteria of the larger the size and stronger the combat power of the neutral land, Qianye looks like a thin little white face, and it doesn't look like he has great power.
But since this is Qingyue's decision, they will accept it. And in Qianye, too many incredible miracles have happened.
The renovation of Valhalla was carried out in an orderly manner, with the Gauhu people all being master mechanics, many tools mounted directly on their arms or bodies, and the power furnace that they carried with them to keep them from feeling tired, so that they could work around the clock.
When Qianye walked into Nanqingcheng again, it was already late at night. At this moment, it has been half a day since he left Valhalla. For such a long time, he had never felt the power left by the Finger Pole King being triggered.
Qianye smiled, and Qingyue passed his test again. Not everyone is able to face temptation. Many people know that it is a trap, but as long as the temptation is big enough, they still can't control themselves.
Referring to the power left by the Extreme King, Qianye didn't know what it was, only that once it was triggered, it was enough to kill Qingyue and all the Gaohu people on the ship in an instant. If this really happened, it would be a big pity, after all, Qingyue has played a great role during this time.
And now, Aotsuki has finally won the trust of Thousand Nights, though not all.
Nanqing City is still as depressed as ever, and the pain caused by the dissolution of a large mercenary group is not so easy to heal. The city guards also suffered heavy casualties in the fighting, and various bereavement payments, compensation, and recruitment of new recruits were carried out openly or covertly. And it is no secret that Qianye visited the City Lord's Mansion last time, which means that the city lord Ji Rui has admitted the defeat, and it also means that Nanqingcheng has to swallow the bitter fruit of this battle.
People in neutral places are realistic, only believing in strength and profit. Now that the war has been defeated, the next thing is to silently repair the wounds, hatred may be there, but it will only be buried deep in the heart, and one day in the future, when there is a chance to retaliate, it will burst out like a volcano.
Compared to the last time they visited, some of the armory shops in the city have recovered a bit. On the one hand, the orders placed by Qianye gave them a chance to make profits again, and on the other hand, Jirui began to purchase trucks and construction machinery on a large scale. These orders let the traders know that the Black Forest logging plant will be reopened. It was a big business, and every merchant didn't want to miss it, so they started recruiting more people, finding supplies, and expanding their stores.
Qianye walked through Nanqing City, came to the City Lord's Mansion, and said to the guard: "I am Qianye, and I have come here to see the City Lord Ji." ”
The guards naturally recognized Qianye, and hurriedly rushed in to report, and in less than a moment, Ji Rui smiled and greeted him in person. As soon as they met, he took Qianye's hand very affectionately and said, "Oh, general, why did you come back so soon? Don't tell me in advance, I'll arrange for you to pick you up!"
Qianye smiled: "I originally planned to come back in two days, but now that I think about it, it is better to come to see the city lord earlier." Some things are the same when they are said in the morning and in the evening. ”
The fat on Ji Rui's face trembled slightly, but it was well concealed, his smile remained the same, and he said, "No matter what you say, you can find me at any time." Come, come and sit in the house! These guards are not sensible, how can they let you wait at the door?"
Ji Rui held Qianye's arm, led him into the study, and instructed his subordinates to prepare the best refreshments. When he was ready, he waved his hand and retreated, and then said, "The general is looking for me this time, but is there something wrong?"
"The goods are good, the quality is good, and the city lord has a heart. ”
"That's good, that's good. Ji Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
Qianye took a sip of tea and said, "I came this time to trouble the city lord with two things. First, I want to purchase a new batch of goods, this is the list, and the city lord will look at it first. ”
Ji Rui took the list, read it carefully, then let out a long breath and sighed: "General, you want to build a fleet!"
Qianye smiled and said, "How can I have such great ambitions." ”
Ji Rui put down the list and said, "I can get most of the things on the list, but some of the things in it are not in stock, and they need to be purchased from the Eternal Night or the Empire, which will definitely take a while." But there's one thing I don't understand, why aren't there any weapons on it?"
Qianye said: "I have high requirements for weapons, I don't know if the city lord can get the ballista of the empire or the Eternal Night Blood Clan?"
Ji Rui was slightly startled and muttered, "This is a bit difficult. Ballistas are difficult to make, raw materials are not easy to obtain, and the annual output is very limited. Neither Eternal Night nor the Empire is enough to supply their own fleet, so how can it be sold to the outside world? Even if we offer a high price and use some old connections in the past, we will probably get one or two, and it is not new. ”
Qianye also knew about this situation, and immediately said: "Two is two, buy it first." There are as many bolts as possible. ”
"This ...... The old man did his best. Ji Rui smiled bitterly.
Qianye looked at him at this time, seemed to be smiling, and said slowly: "There is a second thing, I almost forgot to tell the city lord." That's those people from the Imperial Military Department, the city lord doesn't have to wait any longer, they won't come back. ”
With a bang, the teacup in Ji Rui's hand fell to the ground abruptly and shattered.
But after all, he was a treacherous man, and although he lost his temper for a while, he immediately regained his composure and said with a smile: "General Qianye said that he was laughing. ”
Qianye laughed and said, "Since the city lord doesn't believe it, then just wait." ”
Ji Rui said: "It's not that the old man doesn't believe the general's words, but that the old man doesn't have much to do with them, and he is not waiting for them." ”
"Oh, is it? But the city lord's reaction just now seemed a little strange. ”
Ji Rui leaned over, picked up the fragments of the teacup on the ground with his own hands, cleaned them up, and said calmly: "I won't tell you, these people in the empire are the big customers of the Black Forest timber." The reason why the old man went to great lengths to open a lumber yard was also because of their order. General Qianye, this is the old man's biggest fortune recently, and it is normal for him to suddenly hear about it and lose his mind. I wonder if I can ask, where did this news come from?"
"Quite simply, they prepared three warships to rob my cargo in outer space, and I shot them all down. ”
The tip of Ji Rui's nose was slightly sweaty, but he knew what the weight of the three imperial warships was in a neutral place, and he also knew the strength of those people in Lu Sabei. As a result, it was so lightly ruined by a thousand nights?
"This ...... Is there a live mouth?"
"Nope. ”
Ji Rui's heart was suddenly relieved.
Qianye asked again, "Where are the other people now?"
"General, you're going to ......"
"Kill them all. ”
Ji Rui had a bitter face, and said helplessly: "This, I'm afraid it's not very good, since the first evil has been ambushed, the rest are some minions who do things, but they just act according to orders." Killing them won't help the big picture, so what's the point?"
Qianye didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "What does the city lord mean?"
Ji Rui pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "I still want to continue this timber business." The only patrons at the moment are them. And I haven't figured out what exactly they want from the Black Forest wood. ”
Qianye nodded and said, "What does this business mean to the city lord?"
"The biggest business in the past few years, and it could change the landscape of this area. ”
Qianye smiled and asked, "Is there a god general behind the city lord?"
Ji Rui's face was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he said, "This, not yet." However, with this financial resource, it is not impossible to invite a god general. ”
"Okay, then I'll let those people go. I need their list, their positions, and their purpose here, though. ”
"The matter...... It's not difficult. Wait for me to hear from you in a few days. ”
Qianye nodded, agreed with Ji Rui on the details of the transaction, and got up to leave. When he left, Ji Rui returned to the study, his face was as gloomy as a black cloud, and he didn't see the panic just now, instead of being silent for a long time, thinking silently.
At this moment, floating in the void, the battle situation has been in a stalemate, and it has been going on for a long time. Zhao Valve takes the city of immortality as the center, and operates the entire defense area like a well-built iron bucket, without leakage.
After experiencing the defection of Qianye, Zhao Valve's reaction was fierce and his methods were beyond everyone's expectations. Openly and secretly made several moves, and successively dismissed several officials in the DPRK and China for various reasons, these people were not high-level, but they were all in important positions, and they were the core figures of the imperial party. As soon as these people lost their positions, from the right minister down, they immediately felt that everything was not running so smoothly.
Moreover, Zhao Valve also released ironclad evidence through the officials of the DPRK and China, and put one of them in prison, only to be beheaded after the autumn. The right minister tried his best to rescue, but there was no result, which surprised the officials in the court.
In addition, in just one month, there have been several accidents inside and outside the empire, such as a car falling off a cliff and a floating ship disintegrating in the air. These accidents occurred in Tiannan and Haibei, and they seemed to be unrelated, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that one or two emperors would die in every accident. These people are also not in high positions but powerful, and they are seen as promising.
Only then did the officials of the DPRK and China remember that Zhao was located on the frontier, sitting on two provinces, and holding heavy troops. Such a gate valve has a deep heritage, and secretly I don't know how much unknown power it has. This time, he killed several important members of the Imperial Party one after another, which was to make an example of killing one and warn all parties that if Zhao Valve was unscrupulous, what kind of things could he do.
The people on the right side were shocked and angry, but there was no other good means for a while except to speak passionately in the court. After thinking about it, they seemed to have no hope of winning except for sending troops to defeat Zhao Valve.
This made the imperial party really embarrassed and angry, and many people began to operate the military department, wanting the military department to come forward to pressure Zhao Valve. Such a crazy act will naturally not lead to anything, and the Imperial Party only wants to let Zhao Valve know how determined they are.
However, with such a strong conflict, especially when Zhao Valve's actions had almost touched the default bottom line, the imperial family was surprisingly silent, as if nothing had happened. The Immortal King, who was full of words in the military department, was in retreat and cultivated, ignoring political affairs, and his attitude was quite strange.
