Whether they believe it or not, everyone was in good spirits when they saw Song Zining say it so firmly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe eternal flame is there and is not there, but there is an essential difference. If he stays in a neutral place for a long time, then everyone doesn't have to do anything, and they just return to the empire honestly. But staying for three days and leaving, that's another matter. There is no need for Song Zining, many of the people present can come up with a countermeasure.

At that moment, everyone discussed quickly, and after a while, it was concluded that the entire fleet of imperial personnel withdrew from Nanqing City and retreated three hundred kilometers to avoid the advance of the Eternal Night army. Wait until the Eternal Flame leaves, and then slowly wrestle with the Eternal Night.

The only thing that makes people feel pity is that the spatial passage has been slowly stabilizing in the past few days, and it looks like a group of people will be able to send a group of people in a few days. But at this time, the Eternal Night Coalition Army arrived, and this second batch of places could only be watched fall into the hands of Eternal Night.

However, looking at the current state of the space channel, I think it should be available for a while. They are not particularly anxious, especially those that have already been included in the second list. The whirlpool is not something that everyone can go, according to the Heavenly Machine, this passage is still very dangerous, and if it is not a strong person above the general, there must be no return after entering.

In addition, Song Zining also revealed a very important information for free, that is, if you enter the maelstrom, young people will get more benefits. And if you are already seventy or eighty, it is best not to go in, otherwise most of them will go and never return.

This news can be said to be extremely important, some families originally felt that there were a lot of places, and planned to send a few elders and others in, so as to escort their genius children, but when they heard Song Zining say this, they dispelled this idea one after another. For any family, elders are a rare resource, and no elder knows that he will enter the maelstrom even if he is sent to death. After all, I don't know what the situation is on the other side of the passage, and if I die, I may die in vain.

If these elders are deducted, then the number of places to enter the maelstrom will be quite generous, and although those who enter later will have less opportunities for the first exploration, they will also have a lot less unknown dangers. Many low-grade families prefer to seek stability, as long as their children can come out of the maelstrom alive, it will be a big harvest. If you can bring some souvenirs, it's the best. As for earning more or less, it doesn't matter.

The plan was decided, and the families immediately began to act, and in only two hours, the empire's camp outside Tingchao City completed the camp, and a large number of trucks converged into a steel dragon and began to retreat towards Nanqingcheng. A little later, the Imperial fleet was also loaded with important personnel and supplies and headed for Nanqingcheng. Throughout Nanqingcheng, the empire also began to count supplies, load trucks, and prepare for evacuation.

Seeing the imperial army in a hurry, Ji Rui was happy and worried. The good thing is that the empire is finally leaving, and this Nanqingcheng is still his world after all. The worry is whether to join the empire. Although there is less freedom and more constraints, it has changed a vast world. The pattern of this neutral place is still small, and it can't accommodate more characters.

In Nanqing City, the major commercial houses and workshops are as always, and they are in full swing. The workshop set up by Song Zining has not been moved away and has started as usual. These trading houses have long been accustomed to the conquest and attack between the major forces, and whichever force is the boss will pay those taxes anyway, neither more nor less. All forces have also formed a tacit understanding with the commercial banks, and no matter how fierce the fight is, they will not move the industries of the commercial houses. Moreover, the big commercial houses themselves have heavy troops, which are also equivalent to a force, and they cannot be easily offended.

In the eyes of the comptoirs, the Empire and the Eternal Night are the same force, but on a larger scale.

Song Zining laid an excellent industrial foundation for Nanqingcheng, and the large and small workshops here are said to be to build one thing: floating warships. In neutral places, the demand for floating warships is endless, and it can be said that you can sell as many as you build. Moreover, the quality of the floating warships built by Ningyuan Heavy Industry is comparable to the cutting-edge warships of the empire thirty years ago. Not to mention a neutral place for a warship of this level, various princely and small countries, and even the imperial gate lord families also have a large demand. It's really not good, and it can be sold until the eternal night.

Therefore, even if the Eternal Night Coalition army pressed the border, the merchants in Nanqingcheng would never stop working.

A day later, there were no more Imperial troops to be seen in Nanqing City, and the rest were all natives of the Neutral Land.

Not far from Nanqingcheng, Song Zining's flagship floated in the air. At this moment, the flagship has re-camouflaged itself, and it looks like an old cargo ship, which could crash to the ground at any moment.

At this time, two off-road vehicles drove on the ground below, and the people in the cars signaled to the sky, and Song Zining's flagship slowly fell.

Song Zining walked out of the hatch, and three people had already come down from the off-road vehicle and were waiting. An old man in the center stepped forward a few steps, saluted, and said respectfully: "I've seen Qishao." ”

Song Zining said happily: "No need to be polite. Is your master okay?"

"The master has left the Blood Throne, and we are gone. However, before leaving, the master instructed that Qi Shao could hand over the things to us. If you have anything to say, you can say it to me. The master will return to the Blood Throne from time to time, and it will naturally be known then. ”

Song Zining nodded and said, "No matter how careful you are to deal with the Eternal Flame, your master is right." The stuff is here, you can take inventory. ”

Song Zining waved his hand, and a person behind him handed over a small suitcase. The old man on the opposite side took it, opened it and saw that it was mostly jewels and jade, dazzling, and it was difficult to distinguish the value for a while. He closed the suitcase and said, "How can the things that Qishao promised be short? ”

Song Zining nodded and said, "Another thing, how did your master think about it?"

The old man said: "The master thinks it's okay, but the conditions need to be slightly modified." The master wants a custom-built frigate in exchange for the full force of the broken year. ”

Song Zining groaned slightly, then nodded and said, "It's also reasonable." Go back and tell your master, I agreed. ”

The old man's face was overjoyed, and he said, "I will bring this good news back." My master wants to place more orders, but I don't know how much Qishao can satisfy?"

"It's up to your master. If Nanqingcheng is less disturbed, it will naturally produce more. In addition, this time he can't let the Eternal Flame do whatever he wants, and he will have to be put under some pressure. ”

"My master will consider this matter for himself. ”

Song Zining nodded and returned to the floating ship. The old man also drove away and drove to Nanqingcheng.

At this moment, a guard beside Song Zining lifted his hood, revealing a white face, and said, "I didn't expect that the Blood Throne also planted a henchman in Nanqing City, and it was still a human race. ”

This person has a white face and no beard, and he is Zhang's father-in-law.

Song Zining smiled slightly and said, "It's not surprising that he has been operating in a neutral place for hundreds of years. Among the blood clans who want to come to the Blood Throne, there should also be a shadow son who is not carefully placed. ”

"Aren't you afraid that he'll snoop on your secrets?"

Song Zining said calmly: "What are you afraid of, the things in Nanqing City are meant to be shown to them." It doesn't matter if they know what the parts are. They can't disassemble the engine, and even if they can, they can't build it without the alloy formula I have in hand. ”

"But ......" Grandpa Zhang obviously still had doubts.

Song Zining said with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't worry, whether it's that person or Zhang Buzhou, even if it's the Spider Emperor, the Wolf King, and the Frost and Thunder Temple, all they want is a fleet, not to make money." It's not like us!"

Father-in-law Zhang smiled and said, "Our family doesn't have any other thoughts, just waiting to make a small fortune with Qi Shao, so that I can live a peaceful old age." ”

Song Zining said: "Gonggong Zhang laughed, we have worked so hard to come to a neutral place, how can we only make a small fortune?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Back in the command cabin, Song Zining spread out the map of the East China Sea, studied it for a while, and then pointed to the edge of the land block and said, "Drive here first." ”

Father-in-law Zhang watched from the sidelines, a little puzzled, and asked, "What's here?"

Song Zining said: "I'm going to meet someone, and by the way, I will return the favor." ”

Gonggong Zhang is also an old man, and seeing that Song Zining didn't want to say it clearly, he didn't ask any more. The flagship received the order and immediately set sail, turning around and flying towards the edge of the landmass. Halfway through, a flash of light suddenly rose from the flagship and flew into the void. Zhang Gonggong's eyes were sharp, and he vaguely saw that there were two metal seals in Guanghua. This kind of sealing cylinder is generally used to load message mechat. He felt a pang in his heart, but he didn't expect Song Zining to use such a method now. It seems that although Song Zining is in a neutral place, he is still closely connected with the empire.

Half a day later, the flagship drove to the edge of the landmass. Song Zining ordered the flagship to wait here, flew to the ground, and walked alone to the edge of the landmass. Father-in-law Zhang watched Song Zining go all the way away on the deck, his brows furrowed, his expression became more and more cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The climate on the edge of the East China Sea is harsh, and there are void storms raging all the time, and when Qianye walked here, he was also cautious, and Song Zining should have worked harder. However, his Three Thousand Floating Leaves field is the best at making use of various environments, and the more extreme it is, the more he can borrow. Therefore, he still walked calmly in the wind and snow, folding the fan and shaking gently, indescribably chic.

He kept searching in the wind and snow, and according to the description of Qianye at the beginning, he searched for a long time, and finally saw the Blood Clan battleship parked on the ground from a distance.

As soon as Song Zining breathed a sigh of relief, a person appeared in front of him, dressed in blood clan attire, with a vigilant expression, and a pair of eagle eyes like knives, looking himself up and down.

Song Zining arched his hand and said, "This should be the Marquis of Calinan, right? Please also report to Lord Venerable Night Pupil, and say that there is an old man visiting." ”

Callinan was startled, raised his eyebrows, and said, "You recognize me?"

Song Zining chuckled, "The dignified Marquis of Kalinan, how could I not know him?"

Callinan looked up and down at Song Zining, but he couldn't see through the details of this guy, and he hesitated in his heart, and finally said: "Please wait here, I will report back to the master." ”

Song Zining said with a smile: "Please." ”

Callinan hurried back, came to the side of the battleship, and said, "Lord Night Pupil, someone wants to see you, saying that an old man is visiting. ”

A moment later, the voice of the night pupil sounded, "What kind of person is it?"

Galinan hesitated for a moment and said, "A young Terran man, he knows your and my names. This person is passable, but his strength is average, and he still has to hold a fan in a snowy day, and his brain seems to be a little abnormal. ”

Ye Tong let out a rare chuckle and said, "You just say he's a fool, right?"
