Section 282
They looked at each other and knew that this was an opportunity to show their sincerity and strength. Those who can't even handle a trivial matter can just withdraw from the competition, and the remaining people can also get more shares of the life liquid.
Under Yuan Buwei's central planning, these organizations rarely cooperated. The anti-government organization has a secret intelligence network within the empire, and some highly skilled and courageous desperadoes have joined it. Originally, they did not provide technology to erase traces of the star network... With the cooperation of all parties, the ghosts and ghosts are unknown. Without realizing it, a lieutenant general was taken out of his mansion. It is simply a piece of cake to secretly send a person out of the empire by using the channels of large arms dealers to transport arms.
Half a month later, the living Ou Shang was sent to Black Whale Island and appeared in front of Yuan Buwei.
Chapter 233 Rebellious Party 17
Ou Shang had no idea what was going on.
On the night when he thought he had reached an agreement with the Third Prince, he drank some wine with great satisfaction and fell asleep in a leisurely mood, imagining how many benefits he would get from the Third Prince in the near future. …
However, when he woke up again, he found that he seemed to be imprisoned in a dark and small box. Not only were his hands and feet wrapped up in special metal and unable to move, his face and mouth were also locked with something similar to a dog muzzle. It was so tight that he couldn't make a sound.
——Auchan, who has been to some gray trading places, knows that this is a method specially used to imprison those slaves with a certain strength and prevent them from breaking free and escaping.
"!" His face turned red with shock and anger, and an indescribable humiliation welled up from deep in his heart!
At the same time, there were waves of fear that even he was ashamed to admit to himself.
——What's going on? What happened? Where am I? Could it be that there was something wrong with the glass of wine you drank before going to bed? Someone still sneaked into the house...ah! It's the third prince! It must be the Third Prince’s fault! It must be him! He wants to kill people and silence them? ! !
——No, calm down, calm down. If the third prince really wanted to kill someone and silence him, I would already be dead. He wouldn't dare to openly kill an imperial lieutenant general! This must be just a warning he gave me... Yes, that's it! He probably just wanted to warn me and tell me to shut up.
——Phew...that's good. It's all my fault that I was so obsessed that I actually wanted to get benefits from the Third Prince, but I forgot how ruthless this guy is! I thought that I could threaten the future successors of the empire by taking advantage of the situation. Did I get carried away by greed before? Fortunately, fortunately, he didn't dare to do such a crazy thing as killing people and silencing them in the Imperial City. That's great! Huh... Calm down, calm down. When you see him later, you must stay calm and bow your head and submit as soon as possible...
In the dark and narrow box, Ou Shang's mood fluctuated rapidly. After the initial fear and uneasiness, he gradually regained his composure after thinking he had guessed the truth.
There was a wise look in his eyes that had seen through everything. He silently counted the time in his heart, just waiting to be brought to the third prince. Then he knelt down and surrendered according to everything rehearsed, bowed his head and admitted defeat, and spent the time temporarily. this crisis.
After his mood returned to calm, he felt the current situation, and the anger of being humiliated gradually filled his heart again.
——The third prince? I remember this lesson. Keep your head down for now. If I have a chance in the future... I want you to look good! Wu Heng was so glorious at the beginning, but now he has become a drowned dog? Is it great to be the heir to the empire? Let's wait and see. It's best to secure your position as heir and never expose any flaws. When the time comes... I will repay today's humiliation tenfold and a hundredfold!
The script in his mind has been rehearsed over and over again, and he has even thought out the posture and tone of kneeling down to beg for mercy, but Ou Shang has not welcomed the third prince he expected. As his patience gradually ran out, he even began to imagine the scene in the future where the third prince would step on him and humiliate him, but his situation still did not change at all.
The only thing he could feel was that the black box that sealed him seemed to be moving gently. The outside world was silent and there was no sound at all.
In the silent darkness, panic swept across once again.
Auchan began to feel unconfident about his previous guess. Could it be that...the third prince really wanted his life, so he was going to throw him somewhere and bury him alive? Or... did he guess wrong from the beginning, and the person who attacked him was not the third prince at all? ? ?
Compared with the former, the latter seems more terrifying. This means that everything is beyond his expectation and control.
Being locked up in this dark and small box, not knowing when he would see the light of day again, Auchan's mood was ups and downs like a roller coaster. It was no longer possible to remain calm, but he fell into constant fear.
As time went by, this fear became deeper and deeper. Just when Auchan was almost desperate, noisy and chaotic sounds finally appeared in the silent outside world.
"Didn't I just take out a batch of goods a few days ago? The new goods are here now? So fast this time?"
"Old rule, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. It has been explained from above that the goods this time are very important and must not be lost. They must be delivered within the specified time. Otherwise, think about the things on everyone's necks!"
"Hiss - the boss values it so much, it seems that this is a big customer! Brothers can make a lot of money again!"
Amid the noisy discussion, Ou Shang felt that his box was being transported downwards. From the conversations around him, he could tell that it was probably in a certain warehouse.
He felt bad.
If it were someone else, he probably wouldn't understand what was going on. But Ou Shang, who had handled some underground transactions, had already guessed where he was - this was a smuggling ship that was not allowed to see the light of day. The so-called cargo was either people or arms.
There were many such things on the front battlefield.
Especially when the Empire and the Star Alliance were at war, there would often be arms dealers who took advantage of the situation to smuggle arms across the border for huge profits, and some people took the opportunity to sell the captured prisoners to some places with special gray transactions. For example, the star pirate group "Black Shark" had a long-term trading relationship with such underground places, and even had a chain of links.
The universe is vast and boundless, and not everyone has a super navigation system like System 999. In order not to get lost in the starry sky or run into a storm, the safe routes that have been explored will be marked on the star map.
For example, there are only a few fixed routes from the desolate star field to the empire's territory. Even if it is a smuggling arms dealer, unless he is desperate, he can only take those few roads.
These routes are patrolled by the Empire's army for a long time.
The smuggling arms dealers and the "Black Shark" can freely enter and exit the Empire and the Desolate Star Region. They have their own ways and have already made arrangements, especially the army patrolling the checkpoints, which is the top priority.
As long as they tacitly relax the checkpoints and relax during patrols, they can let people go quietly.
As a senior officer, Ou Shang has also participated in several times. The benefits given to him by the arms dealers alone are equivalent to the income of fighting hard for several years on the battlefield.
This is already a tacit gray income for many officers. Several special legions with special backgrounds, backed by the royal family and the great nobles, will even participate in the trafficking of prisoners of war. Compared with the "Black Shark" who has no taboos, the prisoners of war of the Empire Legion are all natural persons captured in the war.
——The Empire's hatred for the Star Alliance is far beyond imagination. The new humans have never regarded natural humans as their own kind, and these inferior people dared to resist the rule of the Empire, which is even more sinful. However, they still have to promote freedom, equality and human rights on the surface, so the trafficking of prisoners of war must not be announced, and can only be carried out in secret.
In some underground trading places, there are many perverts who want to buy natural humans to torture; there must be many private research institutes that attempt to secretly conduct banned gene mixing experiments on natural humans.
And they believe that the Star Alliance must have similar behaviors, such as catching new humans for experiments.
The Empire has existed for too long, and too many places have begun to decay. Before Wu Heng took office as the commander-in-chief, the military privately opened backdoors to allow arms dealers to circulate more; until he became the commander-in-chief and rectified the military discipline, such things gradually became less, not disappeared, but turned to a more secretive state.
After all, there are some things that Wu Heng, who was born in a civilian family, cannot touch.
At the beginning, Ou Shang was punished by Wu Heng for "not paying attention to patrols". Even though he was promoted and trusted for his meritorious service in combat, he still felt unfair. In addition, Wu Heng's strictness made many conventional unspoken rules no longer count, and I don't know how many people's financial resources were cut off. This is also one of the reasons why Ou Shang chose to betray and why so many people took advantage of him. ▂This▂work▂is▂organized▂up▂by▂Thin▂Tu▂online▂reading▂net▂friends▂
Now, when Ou Shang found that he had become one of the goods transported by the arms dealer and was about to be taken out of the empire without anyone noticing, he finally panicked.
He knew too well the morals of those guys at the border, because he had done the same thing before. Especially now that there was no Wu Heng who strictly enforced military discipline.
How much Ou Shang hated Wu Heng for being too strict and cutting off his financial resources, and now he hoped that his colleagues would abide by military discipline and stop the flying ship!
Unfortunately, his colleagues were obviously no better than him in terms of ethics, and the journey was smooth and nothing happened. This smuggling flying ship just swaggered out of the empire, carrying a lieutenant general of the empire.
After Ou Shang, who had been silently calculating the time, estimated how far the flying ship had gone, he was completely desperate.
He had already determined that the mastermind behind this matter was definitely not the third prince, and all the calculations in his heart suddenly fell into the air, leaving only a sense of emptiness that he didn't know where the future was and that life and death were unpredictable. This feeling of life and death being completely controlled by others and not being under his control was really terrifying!
But soon, he even lost his fear - because he was going to starve to death.
Although the new humans are strong and can generally survive ten days without food or water, it has been a full half month since Ou Shang was captured and sent to Black Whale Island, which is obviously beyond the normal situation.
The intense consumption of energy in his body made Ou Shang dizzy and dizzy, his stomach cramped, and even his thinking was stagnant. He seemed to be in a dying state. He didn't have time to care about what those people outside were saying.
Just when he felt that he was about to starve to death, the black box that locked him suddenly hit the ground heavily.
With a "bang", the dark and narrow box fell to the ground, and the black metal on the surface suddenly surged like water, quickly unfolded and deformed, and spread along the long shackles on Ou Shang's limbs.
And Ou Shang, like a dead dog, appeared in front of Yuan Buwei without any cover! He was still wearing the single clothes he was caught in, with messy hair, skinny, and deep eye sockets. He just lay on the ground motionless, as if he would die at any minute.
A question mark appeared on Yuan Buwei's forehead: "?"
The arms dealer who was responsible for transporting the person was also stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and slapped his forehead and said: "It seems that he is hungry. These guys really don't know how to adapt! This person is not an munition, but needs to be fed regularly."
But Yuan Buwei specifically wanted a person at the beginning, and didn't say that he wanted to be intact, so it didn't matter.
Yuan Buwei only took a look at this person and knew what they wanted, so he said calmly: "Since everyone has shown their sincerity, I am not a person who breaks my promise. Please wait for a day, and when I have made arrangements, I will have a good talk with you tomorrow about the real cooperation."
The others were very satisfied when they received the news. In fact, they are still a little dazed now.
I didn't expect that the combined strength of the people could actually accomplish such a big thing.
