Monarch of Evernight: Twenty Our Kingdom
bsp;The final political discussion is very simple. Each person first writes a political strategy for governing the country and the family, and then accepts inquiries from the elders. Finally, the elders give a score.
This link is the most transparent. During the inquiry, all the disciples referred can observe, but it is also the most controversial point. Some of them advocated maintaining the status quo, some advocated radical expansion, and some advocated the golden mean. They had different opinions and opinions. To get the approval of most elders, it also required considerable strength.
Song Zining was much more relaxed and comfortable. He concocted a political strategy at will, responded to inquiries, and ran back to his own courtyard without waiting for the results, ready to enjoy the tenderness. In the past two days, someone gave him two more beauties, which are said to be rare and famous tools for inner charm.
Qianye, however, refused to mess around with Song Zining anymore, and still took the time to browse the martial arts classics. Now his reading scope has expanded to the introductory skills of various melee weapons.
So in the courtyard of "Yunshentang", Song Zining held his two newly acquired beauties, Hu Tian and Hu Di, while Qianye sat in the study reading classics, and the ten people who had had a romantic relationship with him. Qi waited quietly beside him, giving Qianye a cup of tea every once in a while.
Qianye suddenly felt that such a moment was indeed a kind of enjoyment, warm and peaceful. He could concentrate on making progress in martial arts without thinking about the troublesome things in the world.
At this time, the door of the study room opened, and Song Zining walked in with a happy expression on his face. He smiled as soon as he entered the door and said, "You had a good life as a kid!"
Qianye raised his head and glanced at him and said, "If you do this every day, aren't you afraid of wasting your cultivation?"
It had been more than ten days since the two came to the Song clan until the end of the big exam, and Song Zining had not been seen practicing. He met friends outside almost every day, and when he returned late at night, he often smelled of alcohol and makeup.
Song Zining sat down on a large glazed couch opposite the desk, half-lying on the backrest, and made himself comfortable before saying: "Being willful is one of the great ways. Besides, I just returned to my clan. I’m like this here, but I’m usually very restrained.”
Qianye sighed. Ever since the Huangquan training camp, little Song Zining’s face had been unable to read emotions. At that time, his brows showed the indifference and arrogance of a top student, and he also had the indifference to offend. Violence. The number of students who died in his hands was definitely more than Qianye had killed.
When they met again a few years later, Song Zining had almost become a different person, as if he were the most standard member of a family, gentle as jade, with a clear temperament, but that was actually just a mask that concealed emotions and anger.
Only after Qianye came to the Song family this time did he know how this noble heir became what he is today. At the end of the martial arts exam, Qianye wanted to talk to Song Zining, but he was not a good talker and never knew how to speak.
Qianye put down the jade slip in his hand and glanced at Shiqi. The girl immediately understood and exited the study obediently, closing the door carefully.
Song Zining half-closed his eyes to rest his mind and did not speak. There was a moment of silence in the study.
"Zi Ning, will you be in trouble next time? Do you have any plans?"
Song Zining did not open his eyes and said casually: "After this exam, my heir ranking may be in the top three. What trouble will there be for such a great good thing?"
"Can Song Zian and his elders be willing to suffer this loss?" Qianye believed that the great elder Song Zhongcheng really wanted to kill him on the spot. The punishment that Mrs. An Guogong would later punish their entire line would only make this The hatred deepened and became irresolvable.
Song Zining laughed softly. He raised his hands to cover his eyes and blocked all the expressions on his face. He said calmly: "So what if you are unwilling, they only have a few chips. The Yin family, Yin Qiqi wants to be in power, but she can still do it You have to work hard. The Wei family, Bowang Hou will not care about this kind of thing. As for the wild boar, wait until he can survive the battlefield this time..."
Song Zining's voice suddenly stopped, realizing that he had let something slip.
He put down his hand, looked at Qianye's expression, and said with a smile: "Twenty days ago, the Wei family suffered a huge defeat on the Far East front. It is said that Wei Potian was also in the army at that time. Now they The war situation on the border is very tense. It is estimated that when you return to Heiliu City in two days, Wei Bainian will be recalled by our family."
Qianye was surprised. The Far East Province where the Wei family is located is a frontier place and has been at war with the dark race all year round.
Among the news revealed by Song Zining, the most important thing for Qianye is not Wei Potian's safety. The heir apparent of the Wei family went to the battlefield, so there was no way he would be without protective measures. But Wei Bainian's departure means that the expeditionary force will appoint a new division commander.
But there was the Wu Zhengnan incident first. Regardless of whether the expeditionary force headquarters knew that Qianye was involved in that incident or not, just because the Dark Fire Mercenary Group was so close to the Wei family, the relationship between the new division commander and Qianye Not much better.
However, Qianye was not distracted by Song Zining, and only said: "Even if you think Song Zian is not a threat, what about Song Ziqi? He was the one who wanted to kill you, right?"
Song Zining's lazy posture disappeared at this time, he sat up straight, and said calmly: "Don't worry about me, my ancestors won't let them do too much in the clan. As for outside, I will still Are you afraid of them? ”
"Why is that?"
Seeing that Qianye must get an answer this time, Song Zining said calmly: "Maybe it's because I was thrown out to marry the nobles. Oh, there is also a reason for the evaluation of my talent level."
Qianye couldn't help but take a deep breath. Even if he had guessed something, it was still extremely uncomfortable to hear Song Zining tell the truth in such a seemingly nonchalant tone.
Back then, Song Zining's talent evaluation was obviously artificially lowered, and many of the resources that should have been allocated were given to others. This may be an inevitable part of family strife, but when it falls on you, it still makes people feel that God is unfair.
Although Song Zining was smiling, his eyes were cold, "But I have made up my mind not to fight for the position of the clan leader no matter what. This land is decayed and it is difficult to build high-rise buildings. It is better for me to Go out and explore a new territory."
Qianye smiled bitterly. If Song Zining was so open-minded, he wouldn't have been so restless these days. "In that case, what else are you worried about?"
Song Zining was stunned for a moment, fell silent, and said after a moment: "It's really bad, you always seem to be able to see your emotions." He said calmly this time: "I regret it, Qianye, I shouldn't have hurt you Drag in."
Qianye smiled and said, "I gained a lot this time."
His words are definitely not meant to comfort Song Zining. A heaven-level training room, a heavy sword Dongyue, three rounds of silver bullets, a reinforced company's equipment and an entire battalion's heavy-duty trucks, this is the life of an ordinary mercenary captain. No wealth can be accumulated. What helped Qianye the most was the Song Clan's collection of books. Many basic martial arts skills made up for his last shortcoming, which he can only wait to be gradually integrated into in the future.
Now that he had spoken out, Song Zining no longer concealed his emotions and said, "I still didn't see the situation clearly. Originally, you didn't have to fight to the death in the ring."
"Zi Ning, you are overthinking. There is actually no difference whether the battle of life and death is on the battlefield or in the ring." Qianye knew that Song Zining did not take this exam seriously at first, and did not take the test from Song Ziqi seriously. Death threats taken to heart.
In fact, Song Zining did not intend to kill Song Zian or Song Ziqi at first. No matter how good he is in making decisions, there is always a weakness that he is not even aware of when it comes to his blood relatives. But what happened before and after this big exam made Song Zining clearly see the reality. It is not possible to live comfortably without fighting, unless he is willing to live a life of mediocrity.
"Qianye."
"Huh?"
"Let's go to Eternal Night together and build a country, a country built according to the ideals in our hearts."
"...Okay."
At this moment, in the "Lianxin Xiaozhu" where Mrs. An Guogong lives in the "Wendao Manor", someone is talking about the two of them.
This building is called a small building, but it actually occupies a large area and includes an artificial lake. A banquet is being held in the main hall. There was only one table at the banquet, and there were only five people at it, but every guest was important.
Mrs. An Guogong is sitting on the main seat. Next to her is a middle-aged man with a white face and beardless face, long eyebrows and thin eyes, and a graceful look. Song Zhongnian, the leader of the Song Dynasty, Mr. Lu, and another supreme elder of the Song family They are all accompanying me next time. Judging from being able to sit at the table, the identity of Mr. Lu is by no means as simple as it seems.
Mrs. An Guogong first said: "Prince Rui has worked hard these days. The juniors' poor performance makes you laugh."
This middle-aged man is clearly Prince Rui of the Empire and the nephew of His Majesty. Although he was not extremely powerful in the court, he was still a very noble person. Even only a few people in the Song Dynasty knew that there were people from the imperial family watching the ten-year exam.
Prince Rui smiled and said: "My ancestors are serious. This generation of young disciples has several talents that can be developed. As for the lack of experience in battles, what does it matter. In the future, they will be sharpened on the battlefield, so there is no need to worry about it now. ”
"What does Your Highness think of An Renyi, who came first in this martial arts test?" asked Mr. Lu.
Prince Rui was also deeply impressed by Qianye, who won the first place, and immediately said: "That child's talent is naturally very good, but it is a pity that it was not properly polished like raw jade. His talent is extremely special. At first, he had The image of the morning light is not the rays of light carrying the morning stars, but it actually turns into flames all over the sky, and finally condenses into the form of wings of light. I have limited experience and have never heard of this kind of talent."
Everyone here could not help but talk a few words, but no one had an answer. In fact, Mrs. An Guogong discovered the dark force entangled in the sword's edge when Dongyue and Zhuyue had a head-on confrontation. Qianye's dawn force is rich and pure, and he can activate the force of heaven and earth at level eight, which shows that he is indeed extremely talented.
Prince Rui said with some regret: "But after all, he is not a descendant of the family, and he missed the time to lay the foundation. If I am not mistaken, his method of operating the force is still the military attack method, a military king who has cultivated to the ninth level. , The physical dangers are too great. Even if you become a warrior in the future, how far you can go depends on your luck."
Bingbing Jue is the fastest way to achieve success in the human race, but the biggest hidden danger is the harm to the practitioner's body. A ninth-level soldier king like Qianye has almost reached the end of his life. If he continues to practice, his body will not reach the age of thirty. will collapse. Even if he changes his skills and repairs his hidden injuries before this, it will almost inevitably damage his foundation and affect his achievements after becoming a warrior.
Prince Rui had one more sentence that he didn't say out loud for the sake of the Song family's face.
