Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 953 Gathering Intelligence
"so……"

Kong Zhe nodded after listening, and probably understood the mode of Sheng'an City's defense against the beast horde.

Simply put, through this competitive list, the enthusiasm of the awakened people in the city can be greatly mobilized, which is a good way to resist the beast tide.

"Then, who are the famous masters in the city now?" Kong Zhe asked.

"Of course there are many masters..."

As soon as the master was mentioned, Boss He seemed a lot more excited, even a proud smile appeared on his face, he coughed hastily, and said formally: "If you want to talk about the strongest master, of course it is the four legion commanders of the kingdom. Well, two of them have reached the level of Celestials, and the remaining two are also level 48, in terms of level, these four are far ahead of other fighters in the kingdom."

"Of course, in addition to the head of the army, there are also many long-established masters in the army, such as the veteran Donnel who is known as the broken arm, and Yuri, the dragon swordsman, etc. Their strength is actually comparable to that of the army. The difference in length is not too much, but because in terms of team, after all, it is not as good as the army leader who can mobilize as many resources, so the record is slightly weaker."

"In addition, there are several powerful old-fashioned mercenary groups in the city, such as the Yangyan mercenary group, Viper mercenary group, etc. These large-scale mercenary groups have a large number of people and a lot of talents , each of which is enough to be called a big force. Even some mercenary regiments are powerful enough to destroy a small country."

Boss He sighed with regret.

"Oh……"

Kong Zhe nodded indifferently. Although Boss He said that his face was full of red, it is a pity that Kong Zhe is not from Sheng'an. It's my own question, Boss He didn't answer the last one, two, three at all.

Kong Zhe is not interested in the size of these mercenary groups. What he wants to know is whether these mercenary groups have the ability to pose a threat to him tonight.

Kong Zhe thought that he couldn't ask more questions from a hotel owner, but he suddenly found that the middle-aged man in front of him was hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, so he couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Boss He paused for a moment, looked left and right, then quietly approached Kong Zhe, and said something more.

"The arrangement of the major forces in Sheng'an City is basically a situation where the military leads and the major mercenary regiments are chasing after them. However, this is actually just a superficial form, and there are actually more complicated relationships inside. !"

Boss He said seriously.

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Kong Zhe immediately answered.

However, Boss He just laughed dryly when he heard the words, and waved his hands to evade: "Well, sir, it's not that I won't tell you, it's just that this will involve some internal affairs. Uh, I'm a grass-headed businessman, so I'm not suitable for making rash comments... "

Kong Zhe is considered an old fritter, so naturally he will not understand the meaning of this sentence. It is obvious that what Boss He is going to say next is the key point, and now he is waiting for himself to express it.

Kong Zhe turned his head and glanced at the side, still immersed in his own world, ate the grapefruit he ate, coughed, and smiled lightly: "Little girl, how are you? Are you full?"

"&￥#%￥..."

The little girl's mouth was full, but she immediately turned her head and answered, but she was so mumbling that she couldn't make out what she said.

Kong Zhe nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's have another table!"

"&￥#%￥..."

It was still the same grunt just now, but Yuzu's voice was raised a bit in vain, and her face was full of joy, she almost raised her arms and cheered.

Kong Zhe then turned to the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Boss He, that's it. It just so happens that I'm not full, so let's have another table according to the standard just now..."

"Haha, Mr. Ye is really a big customer. As a landlord, it's not good for me to say nothing. How about this? Today's meal fee will be halved, and from now on, as long as Mr. Ye patronizes our shop, we will get a [-]% discount!" Boss He With a wave of his hand, he smiled boldly.

"Boss He is polite!"

Kong Zhe cupped his hands towards the middle-aged man, and the two smiled tacitly.Everyone is a sensible person, and there is nothing to hide. After the rules of reciprocity are fulfilled, Boss He poured a cup of tea, sipped the tea, and began to talk in a low voice.

"Mr. Ye seems to be from another country. He must have just come to Sheng'an. But even so, he should probably have heard of the crown prince dispute in our Sheng'an, right?"

"Well, I heard a little bit!"

Kong Zhe nodded casually. In fact, he naturally didn't know about the crown prince dispute, but when dealing with that Snow White a few days ago, he vaguely guessed some of the current situation of Sheng'an from the conversation.

According to the tone of the princess's words, it seems that her status in the country is not very high, at least not the status that a princess should normally have.

From the short contact, Kong Zhe could still feel that this princess is rather war-weary by nature, and she would never go to the battlefield at all, but she participated in such an important battle against Qingcheng this time, which is obviously unreasonable .

From this, it can be seen that the interior of Sheng'an is not peaceful, and it is likely to be in troubled times.

Kong Zhe nodded, looked at the middle-aged man, and signaled him to continue.

"Well, it's a bit complicated to say. The king of this generation has been in power for more than 30 years. Although he is in good health, he is old after all. He seems to have the intention of retiring a few years ago."

"As a result, the selection of an heir has become imminent. Among the king's children, there are seven in total, five princes and two princesses, and among them, the seventh princess is still young. He is still just a child, and he is playful by nature, so he is the only one who has no hope of inheriting the throne, but other than that, the other six people seem to have some intention of fighting for power."

Boss He moved his chubby face closer to the table, looked around vigilantly, and whispered: "This kind of thing, everyone shouldn't make it too obvious. After all, they are all brothers and sisters on the surface, and there is a The public's impression is there, which is a very important factor for becoming the crown prince. But, it's only on the surface, the so-called ruthless emperor's family since ancient times, in fact, several people have long been fighting behind their backs! "

"Oh?"

Kong Zhe rubbed his chin. Although he was not very interested in this kind of palace fighting drama, he still felt the need to listen to it in order to obtain enough information.

Kong Zhe rolled his eyes, and asked again: "Then, I don't know which successor Boss He thinks has a higher winning rate?"

"Hey, what about this..." The middle-aged man seemed to want to avoid this question, he laughed twice, shook his head again and again: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say..."

"Why is it difficult to say?" Kong Zhe immediately asked.

"Um……"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, looked up at Kong Zhe, and after thinking for a while, he slapped his thigh and decided to continue: "Mr. Ye also knows that the most important thing for those big forces to maintain long-term stability is to Will stand in line, especially in the selection of the crown prince. Once you bet right, the next few generations will be able to flourish, but if you choose wrong, the consequences are not a joke. So, this kind of thing is actually It has nothing to do with me, a grasshead commoner, I'm just talking to you in private, don't talk nonsense when you go out."

Kong Zhe laughed secretly when he heard this, Boss He listened cautiously, he did a lot of foreplay for one sentence, but more of it was just for himself to show that he valued himself.This kind of thing is actually not so taboo at all, because as long as it is a dignified figure in this country, they will more or less start to stand in line at this time.

Kong Zhe didn't expose him either, but nodded along with his words, and continued to ask.

"Of course I understand. Boss He, don't worry, I have a very tight mouth... So, I don't know who Boss He likes more?"

Seeing Kong Zhe's attitude, the middle-aged man seemed relieved at last, and continued in a low voice: "If you want me to say, the third prince has the greatest chance of winning!"

"Oh, what do you say?"

"To put it simply, among the six heirs, although the second prince is the prince with the highest ranking, but his aptitude is too poor, and he has no literary talents. The one with the least hope, and the fourth prince's talent is good, but he is a bit edgy, and the method of fighting for the throne this time is also the most radical. He even made a few explicit moves against several brothers and sisters, and the result seemed to make the king a little unhappy. He was just locked up a few days ago."

"As for the others, the fifth prince is obsessed with business, and he is very successful in the mall, but he has not shown any talent in governing the country. The sixth prince has average talent, is relatively low-key, and is still young. Compared with a few My elder brother has not shown any advantages for the time being. In comparison, the third prince not only has outstanding aptitude, but is already a sixth-level master at a young age. , Borrowing my own wrist, I already have a group of ministers who support me in the court, and the king seems to have revealed some words of satisfaction with the third prince. So, overall, the third prince has the greatest chance of winning now."

"so……"

Kong Zhe nodded, but he quickly realized, and asked strangely: "Then there is one more? Six heirs, you only mentioned five princes, what about the eldest princess? How is she? It is said that she is very popular in China." Not bad, does she have no hope of inheriting the throne?"

"This, alas..."

When the eldest princess was mentioned, the middle-aged man's face darkened slightly, and then he couldn't help sighing, shaking his head and said: "It's a pity to say the eldest princess, she is kind-hearted and kind to others. Although she is a princess, she doesn't have the royal airs at all. News of her helping the poor is often heard in the neighborhood."
