Wang Xiaoyao carefully sensed every corner around him. The sword aura spread out from him and spread to the farthest distance, even sweeping across everyone within this distance. After not detecting Lucifer's aura, he finally
OK, Lucifer is gone.
From time to time, the other party's sneaky smiling face, the voice that kept repeating as if irrational, the somewhat perverted tone, the exaggerated, weird body language...
Wang Xiaoyao was a little tired, exhausted both physically and mentally. Dealing with that kind of lunatic was even more tiring than fighting with her opponent.
Fortunately, the so-called cooperation was pretty good. There may be countless variables in the future, but at least he still has the possibility to barely control the situation.
He made an agreement with Lucifer to let Lucifer summon the Angel Lords and then enter the scene at the right time. He is in Beihai and will continue his plan step by step for the time being. Until the time comes, both parties must conceal their cooperative relationship.
..
Wait for a series of conditions.
Lucifer is very obedient and honest, and has no objections to this. Three months to half a year is not a short period of time. What Lucifer lacks most now is patience, but as soon as he thinks of the threat on the Imperial Army Mountain, he waits
There's nothing you can do if you can't.
Lucifer did not deceive Wang Xiaoyao or anything.
Working with Wang Xiaoyao was not his first choice.
He planned Li Tianlan's strength but was picked off by Jiang Shangyu. From the perspective of strength, he is not strong now, but his methods are weird and difficult to kill. There are not many people and places that can scare him.
So after realizing that he had a bargaining chip to make a comeback in front of Jiang Shangyu, and that this bargaining chip was in the Imperial Army Mountain, his first reaction was to rush directly into the Imperial Army Mountain and find that thing.
This is the simplest way.
He arrived at Emperor Bing Mountain, but did not dare to go up.
It's hard to tell what exactly is on the Imperial Arms Mountain, but the instinctive shock and fear already appeared the moment they approached the Imperial Armed Forces Mountain.
The entire Imperial Army Mountain seemed to be locked by something, and that danger was clearly telling Lucifer that as long as he dared to go up, it would be absolutely impossible for him to survive.
Not only is it impossible for him to get that thing, he even loses the right to live.
Lucifer didn't take any chances. If he failed to climb the mountain, he could only choose other methods.
Wang Xiaoyao became the best choice.
Wang Xiaoyao and Wang Shengxiao...
No matter how cruel the fight is, no matter how life-and-death it is, to put it bluntly, this is a family matter.
This also means that no matter how much trouble the two parties make, the possibility of dying together is the lowest.
Both parties have a huge sense of responsibility for the Beihai Wang Family. When Wang Shengxiao can really realize that Wang Xiaoyao is indeed more suitable to lead the Beihai Wang Family than him, the final situation between the two parties is likely to have a relatively stable ending.
Without considering storming the Imperial Army Mountain, Lucifer's only choice was Wang Xiaoyao.
Wang Xiaoyao also understands this. Lucifer is very terrifying. Compared with his terror, what makes him more fearful is his incomprehensible state.
The other party wants something from you.
I can completely take advantage of this opportunity to squeeze his value to the greatest extent. When the other party must get that most likely worry-free thing, but can only get it by myself, I don't need to worry about him at all.
Fall out.
Fatigue came over me in waves.
Wang Xiaoyao almost collapsed on the sofa, put his feet on the coffee table, and his brain was thinking quickly about how to make the most of the super combat power of the Angel Lord Group.
A knock on the door rang outside.
After a pause of about seven or eight seconds, the door was pushed open. Chen Chenzi, who was gentle, tall, and pretty, walked in. She was wearing a skirt, holding documents, and her exquisite lady glasses shone brightly under the light.
, with an extremely alluring intellectual aura.
Wang Xiaoyao, who had closed his eyes in thought, opened his eyes, looked at his secretary, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"That person just now..."
Chen Chenzi frowned and stopped talking.
"Just say what you want to say. I have always regarded you as my sister. I don't have so many rules."
Wang Xiaoyao smiled, a very warm smile.
The Beihai Wang family plus the seven major sword-wielding families mean that people of every generation will have some playmates who they have played with since childhood. Everyone has the same background regardless of their origins, and their positions are completely consistent. It is easy to cultivate feelings.
Wang Shengxiao's generation, Tang poetry, Song poetry, Wang Yuetong, they naturally formed an inner circle.
In Wang Xiaoyao's generation, he, Di Jiang, Chen Chenzi, Huangfu Jun and others also grew up playing together.
Di Jiang has now turned against him, and the two sides can almost be said to be fighting to the death.
Huangfu Jun betrayed his family and chose to side with him.
Chen Chenzi, the biological sister of the Chen clan leader, became his secretary after he occupied half of Beihai.
And what's very interesting is that after the last parliamentary meeting, the governor of Beihai, Chen Jingbei, who was born in the Chen family, collapsed and Guo Yang came to power. The Chen family's attitude towards him became more subtle. Wang Xiaoyao is currently not sure
Is this a good thing or a bad thing, but it is true that he did come into contact with some information through Chen Chenzi during this period that he had never come into contact with before.
"Who wants to be your sister?"
Chen Chenzi snorted, hesitated and said, "The person you met just now is a little strange, and he doesn't look normal..."
"It's really not normal.
Crazy, insane, perverted..."
Wang Xiaoyao nodded sympathetically, and then laughed again: "But it's not a big problem. At least now, everyone can cooperate. It's not a bad thing."
He did not say the identity of the other party.
Chen Chenzi also realized that it was inconvenient for him to ask, so he nodded silently: "As long as you have an idea."
She put the document in her arms in front of Wang Xiaoyao: "This is the latest information, and it's the same thing you paid attention to last time."
Wang Xiaoyao subconsciously sat up straight and opened the folder.
What is recorded on the document are some numbers.
Year, month, date, and unit of measurement.
All kinds of data are recorded in great detail, column by column, densely packed.
Wang Xiaoyao looked a little ugly: "Is this from last year?"
Chen Chenzi nodded, hummed, and asked, "Have you visited Jiang's?"
"I've looked at it and found nothing."
Wang Xiaoyao shook his head: "I didn't have any expectations. Although Jiang's island is not small, what can be hidden there? It is impossible for such a large amount of goods to leave traces there."
"But the Jiang family should be responsible for this matter, especially when Di Jiang acted as the head of the Beihai Wang clan. Di Jiang definitely knew about this matter. If he knew it, then there was no way that the Jiang family didn't know about it.
"
Chen Chenzi confirmed.
Wang Xiaoyao lowered his head and looked at the information in his hand, squinting his eyes and remaining silent.
What he was holding in his hand was a very strange thing that he had only discovered in the past few days.
It seems that due to the loss of Chen Jingbei, the Chen family's attitude has changed. Intentionally or unintentionally, the Chen family's patriarch brought this matter to Wang Xiaoyao's attention through his sister.
There are only three cities in the south of Beihai.
Autumn water, the sky, and the waves.
Among them, Tongtian Port can be said to be the largest port in the south of Beihai. A considerable part of Chen's assets are at sea. Most of the things that need to be imported and exported in Beihai every year are also responsible for most of them.
And the thing that Chen, intentionally or unintentionally, drew Wang Xiaoyao's attention to was steel.
Steel is not a pillar industry in Beihai, but Beihai's steel resources are not small. Under normal circumstances, tens of millions of tons of steel can be exported every year. However, since more than 20 years ago, the internal situation in Beihai has been stable.
, in the absence of any large-scale construction projects in Beihai, the demand for steel in Beihai, or to be precise, Emperor Bingshan, began to increase inexplicably.
This not only led to a decline in Beihai Steel's exports, but also led to a surge in Beihai Steel's imports.
And it is increasing year by year.
Until recent years, Emperor Bingshan's demand for crude steel has reached terrifying levels.
Wang Xiaoyao looked at the information in his hand.
Last year alone, Beihai imported more than 50 million tons of steel from all over the world through Chen.
Fifty million tons of steel...
It's just the Chen family.
Tongtian Port is indeed very big.
But Beihai Floating Island, Liuli, also has a port. The entire Beihai is an island, and Chen can be sure that Emperor Bingshan not only passes through Chen, but also through other companies. In the past few years, most of the
Large-scale imported steel.
The most critical and strange thing is that no one knows where this batch of steel is used.
If we start counting from more than 20 years ago, the amount of steel consumed by the Beihai Wang family over the years is already an almost terrifying figure.
"Last year, 56 million tons."
"The year before last, 51 million."
"The year before last, 44 million."
Wang Xiaoyao held the document in his hand: "In just the past five or six years, this batch of steel has equaled Zhongzhou's annual steel import and export total. For more than 20 years, from the batch of nearly 2,000 yuan more than 20 years ago,
Thousands of tons of steel started..."
He murmured: "It's such a big project, why didn't anyone notice it?"
"This is the quota for each year, tens of millions of tons. It seems like a lot, but one or two batches are received every month. If you spread it out, it is not as conspicuous as you think. Moreover, the steel that Emperor Bingshan needs
, it is the Wang family’s own account in Beihai. The Sword-wielding family has no right to interfere with this. If I want to pay attention, it should be you who notice it.”
Chen Chenzi looked at Wang Xiaoyao meaningfully.
Wang Xiaoyao was a little embarrassed.
The demand for steel in Emperor Bing Mountain increases year by year. At the beginning, it was undoubtedly the most low-key and least noticeable. In the past few years, the demand has gradually increased. At the beginning, it was when Wang Xiaoyao was madly pursuing Qin Weibai, and then
Then, the demand for steel in the Imperial Army Mountain increased, but Wang Xiaoyao had officially left the Imperial Army Mountain. Even before he met Qin Weibai, he had stayed in Zhongzhou all year round. How could he be in the mood to pay attention to a steel?
"More than twenty years..."
He coughed and said softly: "Where are nearly one billion tons of steel... used?"
He frowned: "Besides, what happened that required so much steel from Imperial Soldier Mountain?"
The time span spans more than 20 years. Even if there is some secret project, it is impossible to consume so much steel resources. What is Emperor Bingshan doing?
"More than twenty years...what happened in that year?"
Wang Xiaoyao asked.
Chen Chenzi gave him a strange look: "Only one major event happened that year, and it did have something to do with the Wang family in Beihai."
Wang Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows.
"The year when Emperor Bingshan first needed steel, Kuangtou Li rebelled against the country, and the Li family collapsed...
