Chapter 1971:

This battle should have caused a lot of trauma to this little guy. Li can also feel it from himself. It can be seen from the absorption capacity of this silver, and it can only be absorbed at night. 30 million taels of silver, and 009 also came with a large amount of silver. At least Li Cong doesn’t need to worry about silver for a period of time. This little guy is really a bit desperate to eat, now Li Cong I really hope that he can eat more, but after this little guy ate these, he took a rest. It looks like he won’t come out in a short time. Li Cong also experienced life and death just now. It can be said that from the time Li Cong was mixed to the seventh-level magician, he had rarely experienced such a thing. I did not expect to encounter such a thing at the contact point of Thunder Gate today.
I don't really know what's going on here, really only these people here? Will there be many people? Do people elsewhere already know what's going on here? These are things that Li Cong didn't know, so there is no way to prove it now. Li Cong has let his people retreat. Even if you stare at such a place, there should be no good results. They are not. Fool, no one will come here to clean up things. If there are really important things here that have not been destroyed, someone may come over, but the guy said just now, this is actually a facade, there is nothing. Yes, people who are not worthy of thunder and lightning have to deal with the matter here, and their clue is broken again.
"Master, you don't need to worry that much. If this contact point here is connected to the outside world, the people at Raiden Gate in other places will have to work on some of our places in these two days. At that time, it was always possible. Leave some clues.
009 saw that Li Cong was a little unhappy and said that his words were also the result of analysis by the people in the investigation department. In short, the good days of Cao’s business are at the end, and some of their defense forces are not yet Very strong, if this Thunder Gate is really done...
"Oh, I actually thought of this. Tracking down the news is not our main purpose. Our main purpose is to eliminate them. But we don't have that great ability yet. We can only come slowly step by step. , This time there was such a big incident, the people from the Thunder Gate must establish this contact point to contact the forces around them, and now such a thing has happened. They have already known who their enemy is. We have too many things to face next." Li Cong said haggardly. Recovering a life didn't make Li Cong so happy, but it made Li Cong see clearly the gap between himself and Raidenmen, just like before. If it weren't for plant life, I might really have thrown my head there now.
"Master, can we shrink? Our current expansion is very powerful, but we can focus on gathering some valuable things, and deploy heavy troops in those places. As for other places, even if they attack, as long as it is We can stick to it, and they can't do anything to us." The investigation department of the 009 ropeway had already made such a plan.
"You can arrange this matter immediately, so that some of the following businesses can be maintained, and they don't need to make much money. We just need to spend this period of time to recover." Li Cong said helplessly, this step It was also the step that Li Cong was most reluctant to take. I didn’t expect that he would eventually reach this step. It is impossible for his own training camp to have such powerful characters in a short period of time. Even if there is, look at the strength of others. , Look at your own, not on the same grade.
"Master, I don't know if the Northern Empire can help us?" 009 said tentatively, but he didn't know.
"Hehe, they are already very helpful to us by giving us a Stormtrooper. It is not very realistic to ask us to continue to ask them for help. They are not fools. Now if all the people from the Thunder Gate come out, they will be impossible. Regardless of us, don’t think that these guys’ mouths are so good. Politicians are the most hypocritical thing in the world. What they say is really unbelievable. These guys, hehe, can’t count on "For politicians, Li Cong himself is also very clear. He spends more time dealing with them. Although he is not on this planet, he knows them more or less clearly. So at the beginning, Li Cong knew them. I never wanted to ask them for help in the past, because it was useless.
"Then can we hire a huge mercenary group? I believe this can relieve us a lot." 009 thought of another way. Now the mercenary group responsible for this kind of security work in this world is still possible.
"This method is not bad, but if I look for it now, it’s a bit hasty. It’s just as much as a method. You can arrange for someone to talk to the mercenary group immediately. No matter how much they charge, as long as they send it. Those who come out can help us, but we don’t need us for the rest. They can manage as much as they can, and don’t give them some hard indicators.
Li Cong said, in fact, there is no way to follow these things. The people of the mercenary group explained that everyone does not know the Thunder Gate itself. No matter how you tell them, they will not believe that there will be such a big organization. If you really believe it, they will probably not come. I chose to listen to you. For such a large organization, your Cao family firm can't handle it. What ability do we have? It’s too high for us, we are not so capable.
In fact, Li Cong has a very good target in his heart, that is the Tiger Mercenary Group, but I don’t know how their skills have become after the civil strife, but at this time acquaintances will always be better, Li Cong wrote about it. The letter asked someone to take it to Bai Er, and asked Bai Er to go to the headquarters of the Tiger Mercenary Corps to ask him. By the way, he would test their abilities. If possible, it would be okay to spend a high price. If not, this No way. It can only be found elsewhere.
That night, things changed differently. In the past, Li Cong was looking for people from Thunder Gate for some activities, but tonight, Li Cong’s Cao’s house suffered various attacks. Many people don’t understand why the Cao’s house, which seems to be in full swing on the surface, turned out to be like this today. After Li Cong woke up, the report also came to Li Cong’s hands. This made Li Cong also a little surprised by the thunder and lightning. The door is out of power, and it seems that the characters that I have gotten are not really powerful characters at all. The really powerful role is still in the hands of others.
Ta'an South County Town. The two large grain warehouses of Cao’s house of 413,500 tons of grain were all soaked by water. It is definitely not done by ordinary people to make such a thing. This is definitely done by a magician, which can make hundreds of thousands of tons of grain. It became soaked in water. And it has not been discovered who did it. Except for magicians who have such skills. How could there be others? Ta'an Nanjun Town was also the place where Li Cong suffered the most severe losses in all the industries. Three hours after the incident, Li Cong took an airship to this place.
A total of four counties’ industries have suffered losses this time, but this is the most serious one. And there are traces of magicians here. It can be said that Li Cong has never heard of any connection between magicians and this place. Compared with ordinary warriors, the damage caused by magicians is definitely much more severe than them. It is precisely because of this reason that Li Cong came here.
Xi Mei, the person in charge of the county town, is a fourth-level fighter in his thirties. This guy is very good at doing business. Under his leadership, all businesses in the county town are really a new level a year. Yes, this guy has also been hinted by the above. If today can maintain the growth of last year, this guy can be responsible for the sales of a province. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen at this time, don’t say If I can get promoted, it is impossible to keep my current position.
"Sorry, master, it was my negligence. I always think about how to develop. I have never thought about security matters. I will bear the mistakes I should bear." This guy saw Li Conghou first. In other words, Li Cong can't say anything in front of outsiders. After all, the Thunder Gate thing is a secret, and it can't be known to too many people now. When I get on the carriage, I will talk to this guy carefully. That said, the look on this guy's face was even more ugly when he saw that Li never made a statement.
"Okay, don't say more. I'll talk later when I get on the carriage." Li Cong nodded and said, in addition to the food loss, they also lost a lot of things. The total price is estimated at several million taels. There is not much money around, but Li Cong estimates that this is the beginning, and Li Cong held a meeting overnight to discuss, and their intelligence also drew several other counties that suffered losses on the map. Li Congzuo A bold guess came out, that these guys are not far from Ta'an South County Town now, and the people at these two contact points know the situation here. According to Wuxingjin, each of their contact points is responsible for three The affairs of these provinces are at most the affairs of these provinces. One of them was killed by Li Conggi. Then this is the nearby contact point. This is how Raidenmen works. They will not let the outside People who contact casually, then they will not be able to control it, but they can’t have any contact with them, so they can still contact the neighboring contact points one by one. This is just a guess, but the final result What is it, I don’t know yet.
After getting on the carriage, Li Cong doesn’t need to keep that face straight. No one knows if there are any of their spies around here. If Li Cong is still talking and laughing, then the people around will definitely be suspicious, and many People don’t know how much the Cao’s commercial firm’s profits are. It has lost millions of dollars, and if it’s not unsightly on the face, how can these people not think about it?
"Okay, don't worry about it. What happened this time has nothing to do with your side. How is your defensive strength?" Li Cong said when he looked at Xi Mei who was afraid to look up. This guy must be sad. It doesn't work.
"Master, what...what's going on?" Ximei heard Li Cong say that and said quickly, but thinking of the firm's rules, she shouldn't ask so many things, and the boss asked herself just now. To answer, he said quickly, "The defense force of the entire county town on our side is composed of the guards of a regiment on our side. I have to tell you that they are very dedicated. They usually do their jobs. Nothing like this happened to us here, this time it has nothing to do with them." Xi Mei said, Li Cong nodded, this leader is still good, if it is the kind of person who is not willing to take responsibility, he will definitely not They would say that, they would definitely push such things to the guards, but this Xi Mei didn't do that. This is enough to show that they are not someone who has fallen into trouble. The guards commander next to him is grateful. .
"Well, what's your name?" Li Cong glanced at the commander of the guard army who was wearing military uniform next to him.
"Report to the young master. I belong to Barlori. I am the commander of the third regiment of the independent brigade of the 25th Division of the Third Army." He couldn't stand up in the carriage, but there was no discount for this guy when he saluted. It is also very uncomfortable to know that the army here does not have such etiquette. They all spoke on their knees. Who knew that Master created some such methods. I didn't feel much at the beginning, but now it seems that this is indeed different from ordinary people.
"Well, very good. The next thing you and your soldiers may not get involved, you just ask your brothers to take a holiday after you go back, but I don't let them go out and play casually. Everyone Let me mix with the common people, whether it’s the city guards or some of the surrounding communities, their role is to go out to find some news. Their weapons and equipment will remain in the army. Someone will come to wear their clothes tonight. Before these people leave, your task is to go out with 50 taels of silver each to find me news. Ask them to investigate if it is different from the previous time. No further investigation is required. It’s okay to bring this news back to me.
Li Cong said, there is nothing he can do. This is not in his absolute control zone. It is not that simple to find those people. Thousands of people have run out to cast the net, hoping that they can all find the news they want.
"Yes, young master, if there is nothing to do, I will get off the car and make arrangements immediately?" This guy is also impatient, mainly because such things have happened in his jurisdiction, and the family is unhappy in his heart, although the young master said this It has nothing to do with your own people, but can you accept it that way? That’s impossible. At first, several classmates in my military academy were all watching their own jokes. The assessments one by one can be far from their own, but nothing happened there. After such a big thing, it is my own not.
"Well, remember, even if you find something, you must never do it yourself. I understand the feelings of you people, and you want to wash away the shame on you. Remember what I told you in the military school, these people are not them. Opponents, if you really want to do things, you won’t be able to do anything in the end, and it’s your own lives that are lost. This is definitely not alarmist, so all you have to do is to report to me immediately after you know the news. Something that should be done." Li Cong saw this guy's eyes gleaming, he knew that this guy would definitely not be so happy, so he had to say something.
"Yes, the subordinate understands that the subordinate will definitely not act rashly." The guy nodded and said, and then went out. Li Cong could see that his own words are still very influential to this guy. At least he won't do stupid things.
Xi Mei looked at her boss with some wonder, what's going on, isn't this intelligence work done by specialized people, how could it get on the heads of people like herself? Can you say that you are not responsible for these things? Is there not enough news now? He thought so in his heart, and Li Cong's words would soon be confirmed by him.
"How is your relationship with some news merchants or people in the county town?" Li Cong asked.
"Master, the relationship with them is still very good, we also need them to do things, and they also made a lot of money from us, but Master wants to talk to them?" Xi Mei said boldly. He is very sleek in his work. I dare not say that the entire city’s associations give him face, but 80% of them are okay. The government is even better. That is the most important thing. People like him are I will never forget the one over there.
"Very well, let them check for me the recent suspicious behavior. These people I said are not people from outside, they are locals, how they lived before, and how they live now, as long as they have Continue to investigate any suspicious places, especially those shops where no newcomers have entered for decades or other businesses.
This is also very important. Li thought about the situation of the previous contact point, and it is estimated that this is also the case. possible.
"Master, do you suspect that the people here did it? But when the people from our investigation department came in for inspection, they checked the people around. They were all fine. Is there anything wrong with this? Where is it?" Xi Mei said in a puzzled way. He can't say that the people here are all familiar, but at least the people in Juncheng are quite familiar.
"Hehe, they think they all have the same ideas as you. Are those who have been buying and selling for more than ten years really are traders? The enemies we face are more powerful than we thought. They do more Our predictions are much bigger. So you can’t care about each of them. You must investigate carefully, and you can’t give up any of them.
Li Cong said with a smile. It’s normal for the people below to have such thoughts. of. It seems that my own thoughts are abnormal.
Xi Mei nodded and didn't say anything. Naturally, she didn't know much about these things as the boss knew. It's better to do things quickly. There are more than 30 organizations in Juncheng, and they all have their own sources of information. In fact, if you check these things from the government, you can’t get any information. They are all fed by outsiders. They will not offend other people, so they say it. The words are all dispensable things, and you have to ask some associations to inquire about these things. Only when the associations have some ideas of their own, will they burst out the real information.
At the same time, 650 miles away, the three airships above were filled with people. These people were not ordinary people. They were all masters from the Western Empire in the Cao's house. The lowest was seven. Level fighters, they were originally going to the north to seal off the frozen forest, but now they are transported here by Li Cong’s urgent order. They must first kill the people at the Thunder Gate in this place. They can’t This is Li Cong's plan to bring any crisis to his own industry. He wants them to put on the clothes of the local guards, and then take good care of them. As for the outcome, he cannot predict the result.
On the ground 3000 meters below them, there are a dozen people here who have already seen the above. All of these 15 people are level 9 fighters. Among them, two of them are recognized by the root of power. In fact, Li Cong guessed There is nothing wrong. People from these three provinces knew what Li Cong had done against them. Although they did not receive any news from the headquarters, they all knew what to do. They wanted to deal with Li Cong's people as much as possible. , It’s just that Li Cong shrinks a bit too quickly. They can’t do anything for a while. They can do something on their own territory, but if they get outside, they won’t have that ability. These days, they have been paying attention from the outside. They noticed the airship that came over. They had followed the airship on the ground for an hour and hundreds of kilometers. If they hadn't had this ability, they would have been thrown away long ago.
In the beginning, more than 60 of them followed, but as the airship speeds up, in the end there are only a dozen people left, and the rest can't keep up. This is difficult for them, the airship They walk in a straight line, and they will not adapt their course because of something on the ground. The people who follow on the ground are different. These guys can’t be the same as the people above. At this moment, they are too. There is no need to follow, because they have already reached the best place for hands-on. There is a mountain. When the airship wants to fly here, the distance from the ground is less than 200 meters, which is very simple for them. They can easily get on the airship. Although the people on the airship are very powerful, compared with them, they are all killed. These 7th-level fighters are very much It's useless to say, but it is not that simple for Cao's House of Business. If they die, Cao's House of Business will definitely be more passive.
"Huh, the airship of Cao's Commercial Bank will definitely pass by what we said just now. You guys will go to the next mountain. We are here. If we are not successful, you can also have a preparation. We absolutely will not You can tell them to just pass by. If these people are in the county, we will be more difficult to do things. It is still the sentence I said, we can’t control other places, but on our territory, All the people who want Cao's house to disappear." A man who is not very tall said, of course, this person's figure is still acceptable among ordinary people. But if it's really nothing in such a group of big guys.
"Brother Dong. Don't worry, what you expected this time is really good. The little third son also said when he came out of the county, what kind of guy is Cao Ke. He mobilized the entire city. I got up. I just wanted to find us out. We really went right when we came out. If his people surround us, we might have to be the same as the contact point over there. That is definitely it. The people over there have exposed themselves, except for the Cao’s house firm, no one has noticed us. It must be fine to calculate this account on their heads.
Another big guy said, this guy is the same guy named Dongge The only two guys among the dozen people who were recognized by the source of power, they are also the boss of the two teams, but it seems that Dongge is much better than this guy.
They are the owners of the two contact points in several nearby provinces. In fact, Raiden Gate is just an experiment for the contact points outside, so not many people come out. All contact points add up to only three. Only, one of them was killed by Li Cong, and the other two were also united. After that guy revealed that they relied on their own brains to guess something. If this is not united, it will eventually be Same as that guy.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, Xiaoxi, hurry over with your people. We will kill two ships at most. The one exposed is yours. You must make this guy feel bad for a while. With these people, we can get rid of all the Cao’s merchants in these provinces, and he will definitely lift the search for the headquarters at that time.
Brother Dong has no time to talk nonsense with this guy, now What he wants to do is to quickly kill the people on the airship, this is what he wants to do most.
"Okay, I'll go over." This guy also agreed and passed away. The people on the airship over there didn't even think they could be in danger in the air? It has been a long time since the airship started to operate, but there has never been a problem in the air, so all of them thought they were safe now, indeed, in the sky up to thousands of meters. They are really very safe, but they are different in some places with dangerous terrain. For example, when they are going to go there later, it is completely different. That is where they are most vulnerable to attack. The news of this era is not very common. They will naturally not study the surrounding terrain or something, and it is normal to be attacked.
In Juncheng, Li Cong had been waiting for four hours. Xi Mei and Barori rushed to the courtyard where Li Cong lived. Just now, Li Cong was feeding his plant life and eating silver. The little guy has already started to rest after eating thirty million silver. Li Cong must have something to do to see the two of them walking in such a hurry.
"How about it, what's the news?" Li Cong said, Li Cong is really a little anxious now, mainly because he hadn't encountered an enemy like Thunder Gate before, and it was true at the moment. I am a little panicked. The weakest person is not my own person, but my own industries. I have to control this step by step. These are some of my own tentacles, just like the roots of a tree. There is little possibility. There will be no harm to yourself, but if the enemy knows this weakness, they will destroy these things all the time, and it will be a long time, so if you can end this kind of thing quickly, you must end it quickly. Otherwise, you might end up falling on this one.
Barori took a look at Xi Mei. Although he said that he had inquired about the news, Xi Mei was the highest leader of this place. He took a step back and asked Xi Mei to stand up and say that Li Cong noticed it very carefully. This detail is very good. The people below me don’t want to take credit because of the incident. This is very rare for a large organization. It’s important to know that people like Barlori would not have this incident. It's impossible to see Li Cong in a lifetime, people can be so calm. This requires a good psychological quality. For this, this guy left a good impression in Li Cong's heart.
"Master, the people under Ballory got this thing. They found a clothing store in the city. It was about the same as the master said. This place has been in business for 20 years, and basically it has never been closed. In 20 years, no one has been added. They do business very well. But the door has not been opened since a few days ago. We asked people around, and they didn’t stay with them. We left with any message. Our people went in and checked it. It was very chaotic. It was very rushed. It was full of things they destroyed by themselves. According to some communities in the city, they received news, They left the city a few days ago. The day they left the city, something went wrong in our granary, and the biggest suspicion should be them." Xi Mei did not rob this guy for his credit, but it was too late to elaborate. With these things, how to report the situation is the most important thing. At this time, it cannot affect Li Cong's judgment.
"Sure enough, they have already left here. It is not so easy for us to find them. Does anyone have news from them? In which direction are they going?" Li Cong felt his heart, no How comfortable.
Both of them shook their heads. Obviously they are not clear about this matter. Li Cong knows this matter too. These people are ordinary people and they won't know the news, but they still feel a little unwilling to give up. If it’s a little bit more comfortable, it’s not. The news is so interrupted. Now all you can do is wait to see where they shot, and then go quickly. This way of doing things Li Cong is very different. I like it. This is to make myself very passive. If this continues, I want to catch them and they don’t know when, these guys will definitely not leave anything, just like the food this time, and if they Going far, it is not easy for oneself to want the past, what if it is worse? If they have their own contact points in various places, what they have to do now is not to do the right thing with themselves, but to quickly notify the contact points in various places. In that case, the Cao family firm established by Li Cong may face destruction. Although some important assets can be carried with you, the establishment of such a sales network is not a matter of a day or two. This is the most distressing.
"Master, you don’t need to worry too much. Our support team is coming, and they may be there in more than an hour. When they come, our counterattack strength will be dozens of times now. Above, it must be no problem to find them." Seeing that Li Cong was a little lost, Barori said that he had not spoken. He didn't want Li Cong to be upset.
what? Our people? Li Cong suddenly thought of something. If this matter is put on his own body, he is also two choices. If there is a contact point around him, then he must disregard his own life and death to inform the news everywhere. Contact point, but if there is no contact point, they will start with their biggest asset. Now, their most important asset is these people who came here. There are thousands of them on three airships. Although there are no ninth-level fighters, they are all seventh-level fighters and eighth-level fighters. If they lose, they really can't afford it. Thinking of this, Li Cong can't sit still. By the way, these guys must That's what he did. Li never took care of the two people in the house and rushed out.
After going out, a tenth-level monster flying in the sky rushed down, Li Cong immediately jumped up, and now it has no effect at all with other people, it is better for Li Cong to go with this tenth-level monster Well, although there is still a tenth-level beast on the land, that guy’s running speed is far worse than this. Fortunately, there are two ninth-level flying beasts around when they see Li Cong flying towards the distance. He also hurriedly followed. Li Cong knew that what he was doing at the moment might be reckless, and that he might not be able to save them and he would have to put himself in, but anyway, those are his most important assets and he can’t look at them. Those guys just died like that, they couldn't do it themselves.
The flight speed of the tenth level monster is quite fast. After ten minutes, Li Cong can see the airship in the distance. From this position of Li Cong, it can be clearly seen that the airship is slowly entering the top of the mountain. It's over, it's really this place. Li Cong has already seen people on the mountain. Damn, you can't let them succeed anyway.
"Fly up, ascend immediately..." Li shouted out from the center full of anger. The people piloting the airship in the distance first saw the flying monster, and then they heard the sound, one by one, they couldn't touch their minds. , Why are they going up here? They are still some distance away from the best attack point of those guys at this moment. If they ascend quickly at this time, they can all hide, but only two airships follow Li I did it from the request.
The pilots also have their own considerations. Flying monsters usually belong to their own people. Now they must be their own people who shout so high in the sky~EbookFREE.me~ Flying at low altitude is the same as flying at high altitude. If there is danger, it should be at low altitude, so they all chose to ascend one by one. As for the airship that did not ascend, this guy is unlucky now, they have no choice, because a dozen guys are already It jumped right before their eyes.
"Ah..." An airship pilot yelled and fell. An unknown guy next to him was throwing down other pilots. These pilots are ordinary people, they can't be these. The guy's opponent, if the seventh-level fighters go down from this height, there may be a chance, but these ordinary people can only wait for themselves to be broken into pieces.
Bastard, these guys really did that. Li Cong waved his hand to make the two airships move forward quickly. He had to raise his height and speed up. In this way, the chance of them encountering an attack would be small, that is, from then on, the airship There are strict regulations on the altitude and speed of the airship. Some terrain exploration on both sides of the airship line has also begun. Some necessary places are to increase its height. This is the first time Li Cong’s airship encountered here. With the last attack, but this is also very distressing.
The tenth-level monsters rushed forward with Li Cong quickly, and the people who were killing them were also a little dumbfounded. How could there be tenth-level monsters here? They thought it would be very easy to kill the seventh-level fighters of this airship. Things, I did not expect... (to be continued...)
