Yucheng has not been peaceful in recent days, extremely unstable.
A large number of outsiders are exploring here unscrupulously. Most of these outsiders are in the stage of becoming gods, and they come in groups. Especially the representatives from the Mingjiao and Tiandu sects, each of whom has more than fifty stages of becoming gods, are fierce and powerful.
I have the determination to find clues even if I scratch the surface.
However, at this tense moment, even more tense news came:
The Kingdom of Tang and the Xuanzhen Sect concluded that there was an evil spirit inside, and wanted to come to Yucheng to investigate.
In an instant, several large families in Yucheng became vigilant. These families have experienced countless ups and downs of honor and disgrace, and they are sufficiently wary of any disturbance.
In a pavilion, representatives of the three major families in Yucheng and more than a dozen medium and large families sat in a circle.
The three major families are: Tang family, Xiong family, and Shi family.
Tang Mingyue, the head of the Tang family, was the first to speak, "Everyone, I don't think we have found the mole at all, but we have found... the scapegoat!"
Xiong Mingqu, the head of the Xiong family, also said coldly, "We ourselves are very clear about the situation of our family.
It's normal to do something that's treacherous. But when it comes to robbing a train, involving the Dayang Group, Xiaoyao Sect, etc., you definitely don't have the guts. In other words, you wouldn't do it so brainlessly in front of your own house.
Now the royal family is actually coming to catch some kind of mole. If you think about it, you will know that they are looking for a scapegoat!
We should strike first. But, where should we start?"
Shi Mingshan, the head of the Shi family, smiled coldly: "We are spreading rumors! You know, the place where they were robbed is less than 300 kilometers away from Yucheng. But the royal family stationed in Yucheng, which has more than 500 gods, actually
They were dispatched about an hour after the incident, and it took another half an hour to arrive at the scene of the accident!
Everyone, don’t you think the timing is wrong?
The day before yesterday, I asked the technical staff of Dayang Group, and they said that there is a one-button distress telegraph system on the train, and there are three systems on one train. Whenever there is a crisis, the train driver and relevant staff will press the button to send a distress signal.
Afterwards, Dayang Group's technical staff investigated and found that two systems were triggered and a distress signal was sent.
Dayang Group wanted to investigate the reception of signals from surrounding stations, but encountered obstacles. However, I used the power of my family to secretly investigate and found out:
At the time of the incident, the safety dispatcher at Yucheng Station happened to be away from his post! A total of four dispatchers were away!
Not only was the one in Yucheng not there, but also those at several surrounding stations happened to be away.
The messages received by the telegraph machine were also destroyed."
Tang Mingyue's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Mingshan, are you sure about this?"
"Brother, I don't dare to lie about this. If I tell lies, Dayang Group, Xuanzhen Sect, Xiaoyao Sect, and even other holy places will not let me and my family go.
And I have already controlled and protected several dispatchers through family connections!"
Xiong Mingqu was a little confused: "If you put it this way, the royal family did this thing? Why did they do this on their own territory? Do they think they have lived too long?"
Shi Mingshan said slowly: "The masters of the transformation stage here in Yucheng are in charge of the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, Han Quanzhong, and are responsible for the security around Yucheng.
I suspect that Han Quanzhong was bribed!
According to my investigation, after Han Quanzhong reached the stage of becoming a god three years ago, cultivation resources began to become scarce and prices increased. However, in the past three years, Han Quanzhong's cultivation growth has significantly exceeded that of others. He even surpassed Zhao Wuyang, the commander of the Royal Forest Army!
At the beginning of the year, Han Quanzhong and Zhao Wuyang had a conflict, and the specific circumstances are unknown, but Han Quanzhong has not changed at all since then, and instead Zhao Wuyang began to live in seclusion!"
Xiong Mingqu pointed his finger at the table and said thoughtfully, "I heard that the reason Han Quanzhong is rich is because he bought 20,000 shares of Dayang Group three years ago.
Three years ago, Dayang Group's stock price rose from one high-grade spiritual stone to 36 yuan per share. Now, it has risen to 114 yuan. As long as Han Quanzhong sells his shares, he can easily obtain 1.56 million high-grade spiritual stones! Add
The total value of a little bit of dividends from Shangyang Group’s shares should exceed 1.6 million.”
Tang Mingyue shook his head slightly: "It can't be calculated like that. The dividends from Dayang Group are not enough to cover the stock transaction fees. Even if Han Quanzhong cashes out all the stocks in his hands, the income will not exceed 1.5 million.
What's more, the price of Huashen resources has doubled in these years. And the stock price only exceeded 100 this year. There is definitely something wrong with Han Quanzhong's previous source of wealth!
If the initial investment of 20,000 high-grade spiritual stones to buy stocks can be said to be a reward from His Majesty, coupled with the filial piety from below, then the subsequent wealth cannot be explained.
If you want to make significant progress in the transformation stage in just three years, you will probably consume more than one million resources.
There is something wrong with Han Quanzhong!"
Shi Mingshan's eyes lit up, "Then we will confess Han Quanzhong?"
Tang Mingyue said leisurely: "The combined number of our families who have transformed into gods is less than 100. And Han Quanzhong has more than 500 people. I don't believe that Han Quanzhong is the only one with the problem. I'm afraid that all the more than 500 gods in transformation are involved.
question.
We can't do this, it will bring disaster to the family.
The only way is to put the blame on the royal family."
After everyone discussed for a while, they decided on the strategy. Taking advantage of local snakes, at noon that day, before the imperial envoy arrived, rumors spread in Yucheng and the surrounding areas, saying that they had noses and eyes.
The rumors were arranged very cleverly. They did not directly point out who was the culprit, but they pointed out all the key points.
As soon as everyone hears these eight words, they will immediately come to mind: Guarding is a thief, and a thief shouts to catch a thief!
When Huang Zhen, the imperial envoy of the left, arrived in Yucheng, he heard these rumors, his face changed suddenly, and he quickly sent a telegram to the emperor. But by this time, it was too late!
I don't know how many people gathered here in Yucheng. When the emperor of the Tang Dynasty received the telegram, the rumors had already spread through the telegram throughout the land of fertile soil and the land of vast soil!
The form takes a sudden turn!
The Xiaoyao faction immediately called the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty: Don't say anything. We will compensate you at twice the loss. The total is 700 million high-grade spiritual stones. Everything is easy to deal with; otherwise, we can get it ourselves. Time, three days.
When things have reached this point, the Xiaoyao faction doesn't want to hear any more explanations. I've given you enough time, what else do you want!
Dayang Group had to express something. After receiving Zhang Hao's order, the couple told the Emperor of Tang Dynasty: Dayang Group needed an explanation within three days; if they did not give a satisfactory answer after three days, Dayang Group would
Tough action will also be taken.
For example, if you personally send experts to investigate, if something unpleasant happens then, just 'don't blame it for being unforeseen'!
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. With the royal family of the Tang Dynasty running around anxiously, it was too late to say anything now. Even a fool could see that the Xiaoyao Sect would have laughed their teeth off waiting for such an excuse. They had been waiting for a long time!
In the next three days, the Xiaoyao Sect did not wait for a response from the Kingdom of Tang. The legion that had been prepared for a long time had already gathered towards the 'Jianchi Mountain'.
Jianchi Mountain is called a Little Holy Land. Although the war almost destroyed it four years ago, the foundation of the earth is still there. Over the past three years, the Xiaoyao Sect has worked hard to repair it, and even used the energy of the Transformation Stage to move around.
The hills restored this small holy place.
Today, this place has been built into a war base. It has a complete industrial base and production capacity, as well as huge and perfect defense fortifications.
Drawing on the experience of the last war, the defenses here this time are more than 100 kilometers long.
Speaking of which, the range of artillery has not changed much over the years. Although in the war four years ago, the maximum range of the Thunder Cannon was as high as 86 kilometers, but this has almost reached the limit. In recent years, even the Ocean Group's artillery has
The range cannot exceed 100 kilometers.
To put it simply: impractical! The distance is too far, the cost is too high, and the shells will be scattered; especially the rapid increase in the divine transformation period in recent years has led to the restoration of high-end means in traditional battles, which has seriously weakened the power of general arms.
.
The war situation has changed again in the past three years or so.
Jianchi Mountain is less than 300 kilometers away from the border of Tang Kingdom. Faced with the menacing attack of Xiaoyao Sect, Xuanzhen Sect also launched war mobilization.
Speaking of which, although on the surface it seems that Xuanzhen Sect has been weakened over the years. The Kingdom of Shaoze has turned against itself, the Kingdom of Canglan has two heads and two sides, and the Kingdom of Qixia has a harmonious appearance, but the Xuanzhen Sect has also gained a new country, the Kingdom of Tang!
Coupled with the technical support of Dayang Group, etc., the development of Xuanzhen Sect is not bad. It is just hidden.
Don't forget, the Xuanzhen Sect's trade on the sea has also been booming in recent years, and the resources it has obtained are countless.
At this time, after the Xuanzhen Sect mobilized for war, they took out 2,000 Transformation Gods and rushed to the country of Tang Dynasty. On the morning of the third day, they arrived at the border and faced off with Jianchi Mountain in the distance.
However, the Xuanzhen Sect's native land still has more than a thousand gods under its protection.
There are also various countries affiliated with the Xuanzhen Sect, which have also sent 200 to 300 gods-transformation stages to support, and more than 3,000 gods-transformation stages.
The Kingdom of Qixia did not send personnel, but the Kingdom of Qixia supported 15 million high-grade spiritual stones. There is always some affection, and it is impossible to be completely heartless. But after 15 million high-grade spiritual stones, everyone's affection is just...
That's the end of it.
From then on, there was no longer any ruthless division between the Kingdom of Qixia and the Xuanzhen Sect.
However, at this tense moment, something happened again! The Kingdom of Canglan suddenly opened its mouth: It wants to pay 10 million high-grade spiritual stones to buy the ‘Sishui Port’ from the Xuanzhen Sect!
Surabaya Port is a port built by the Xuanzhen Sect. The size of the port is second only to the Changshan Port of the Dayang Group, and even exceeds the Nanhai Port built by the Kingdom of Qixia and the Bibo Port of the Xianyin Sect. It is the second largest port in the Fertile Continent.
port.
The reason for this is because Xuanzhen Sect has only one port and can only grow bigger. Countries affiliated to the northwest of Xuanzhen Sect want to contact the outside world. If they do not choose Qixia Country and Dayang Group, they must choose Surabaya Port. Therefore, Surabaya Port
The size of the port can be imagined.
The monthly import and export volume of such a port easily exceeds 100 million high-grade spiritual stones, and the net profit of the port itself is no less than 5 million. Not to mention the significance of this port.
But at this time, the country of Canglan actually wants to 'forcefully buy'!
But worse things are yet to come.
The Kingdom of Shaoze suddenly jumped out and found a map from a hundred years ago. He pointed to the north of the Kingdom of Shaoze and said: There is a large spiritual stone deposit there that belonged to the Kingdom of Shaoze a hundred years ago; but
However, the Xuanzhen Sect took advantage of the civil strife in Shaoze and snatched it away 45 years ago.
Now, the Xuanzhen Sect must return this mineral deposit and replace the spiritual stones excavated over the years. After calculation, the total value of the spiritual stones excavated by the Xuanzhen Sect over the years exceeds 8.6 billion high-grade spiritual stones!
The Kingdom of Shaoze gave an ultimatum: give you three days to collect it, or we will get it ourselves!
In just one day, the entire situation fell into the abyss at the speed of an avalanche.
This time, not only did Tang Zhiguo jump on the bandwagon, but even the Xuanzhen Sect also jumped on the bandwagon.
At this moment, Xuanzhen Sect had to send Hong Yunzi, Zhang Hao's master, to go to Dayang Group to 'beg for mercy'. However, Hong Yunzi had not yet left the Zixia Palace of Xuanzhen Sect. Zhengfengzi, also known as Fengzhi,
Ling, with a pale face, took a telegram and ran to the Zixia Palace of the Xuanzhen Sect:
"Master, something happened! Dayang Group shareholders collectively impeach Zhang Hao and want to restrict Zhang Hao's rights!"
Hong Yunzi's expression suddenly changed. "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
Feng Zhiling took a few breaths, "Just two hours ago, after the Kingdom of Canglan and the Kingdom of Shaoze issued a statement, Zhang Hao proposed that Dayang Group should support the Xuanzhen Sect and held a shareholders' meeting.
However, at the shareholders' meeting, under the leadership of general manager Bai Yutang, most shareholders had an outburst of opinions. Everyone voted collectively to oppose Zhang Hao.
According to statistics from Bai Yutang, general manager of Dayang Group, in the past nine years, Dayang Group has sold and donated technology, equipment, cultivation resources, etc. to Xuanzhen Sect, as well as provided various conveniences. Calculated based on market value, the total value is as high as 6.7 billion high-grade souls.
Stone! These are not counting some help whose value cannot be calculated.
What Dayang Group actually recovered was less than 3.8 billion, including some outstanding loans.
In addition, some shareholders said that the technology leakage caused by Xuanzhen Sect has caused losses to Dayang Group in excess of tens of billions!
Therefore, at the Dayang Group’s shareholders’ meeting, everyone voted unanimously against continuing to support…Xuanzhen Sect!”
"This is unreasonable!" Hong Yuanzi, one of the elders of the Xuanzhen Sect, was furious, "Without the support and protection of the Xuanzhen Sect, his Dayang Group would have been destroyed long ago, and there would be no chance of development!
Now that your wings are strong, do you want to fly solo?
What a sweet dream!”
"Junior brother, calm down!" Headmaster Hongxuanzi's face was gloomy, but his words remained calm, "Junior brother Hongyunzi, you continue to negotiate with Dayang Group. The main purpose is to find out what is going on in Dayang Group."
Hong Yunzi immediately resigned.
Hongxuanzi turned to look at Hongyuanzi again, "Junior brother Hongyuanzi, you are from the country of Taihua. You should go home now and persuade the country of Taihua to send troops to attack the country of Canglan.
I promise that as long as the Kingdom of Taihua conquers the Kingdom of Canglan, the land of the Kingdom of Canglan will be theirs, and the port will also be theirs!
In addition, Xuanzhen Sect will also send experts to support!"
Hongxuanzi is very sensible. Now the situation is critical. The country of Canglan, the country of Shaoze, and the Xiaoyao sect are attacking at the same time. And the weakest among them is the country of Canglan!
Picking up soft persimmons and pinching them will kill chickens and scare monkeys.
Although the country of Canglan has developed well in recent years, with the country of Shaoze on the right and the country of Qixia and Dayang Group on the left, the position of the country of Canglan is a bit awkward. Although the development is good, it can only be good. Compared with the country of Qixia
, compared to the country of Shaoze, it is obviously inferior.
In addition, the Kingdom of Taihua, like the Kingdom of Shaoze three or four years ago, is very eager for a stretch of coastline, which can just be used to induce the Kingdom of Taihua to send troops.
Hong Yuanzi also left.
The headmaster Hongxuanzi thought for a long time and suddenly said: "Is it possible for the country of Qixia to also attack the country of Canglan?"
This sentence seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be asking everyone's opinions.
After a moment, Hongxiazi spoke: "I think this is unlikely. Qixia Country is still consolidating its existing territory, and expanding its territory now is harmful and useless. The Queen of Qixia Country should not be underestimated. What's more, now
Half of the political power in Qixia Country is in the hands of the "Inspection Department".
The Supervisory Department is considered the elite representative of Qixia Kingdom, and none of these people are simple.
For the current Qixia country, developing industry and commerce is the first choice."
Everyone also expressed their difficulties.
But at this time, Hong Zhuzi, the leader of the execution hall, who had been staying in the corner like a transparent person, said leisurely: "Everyone, please don't stare at the country of Qixia. Don't forget that there is also a Dayang Group.
At the beginning of this year, Dayang Daily, a newspaper of the Dayang Group, published this text:
[Railways and locomotives, routes and battleships are the two iron chains through which Ocean Group controls the world!]
On the Fertile Continent, Dayang Group has built a total of three major arteries, and the three railway arteries all start from Ninghe County:
One leads to the north, connecting the northern coastal countries, all the way to the north of Xianyin Sect;
A northeast direction passes through the Kingdom of Taihua, passes under our mountain, passes through the south side of Dayan Mountain, passes by the mountain gate of Xiaoyao Sect, passes through the mountain gate of Xianyin Sect, and finally connects to the eastern port of Xianyin Sect, which is also the eastern port of Fertile Continent.
One port, Bibo Port.
There is another one extending along the southern coast, passing through the Kingdom of Canglan, the Kingdom of Shaoze, the Kingdom of Tang, the Kingdom of Yulin, and finally reaching the Kingdom of Biyang in the southeast of Xianyin Sect!
These three arteries involve at least 30% of the total interests of Dayang Group. Especially the Southern Artery accounts for more than 40% of the total railway profits!
If we can induce the country of Canglan to cut off this railway line, Dayang Group itself will be jealous without us taking action or instigating it!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly brightened. But soon, everyone fell into deep thinking: How can we get the country of Canglan to take action?
The Country of Canglan is not a fool, and it is impossible to provoke Dayang Group indiscriminately. The Country of Canglan cannot afford to offend the current Dayang Group!
It was Hongzhuzi who spoke: "We purchased supplies from Dayang Group and transported them to the Kingdom of Tang via the Southern Railway! Do you think the Kingdom of Canglan will intercept them or not?
Even if the country of Canglan does not intercept it, what about the country of Shaoze?
In addition, we have to sign a transportation agreement with Dayang Group and it must be delivered on time, otherwise we will be compensated several times!
If it doesn’t work once, we will do it again. I don’t believe that the country of Canglan and the country of Shaoze will not make mistakes!”
When the headmaster Hongxuanzi heard this, he silently extended his thumb! Junior brother, you are awesome, you have thought of all this!
