Monarch of Evernight: 148 Boycott
bsp;Chapter 148
Song Zining said: "There is no need to rush this matter now. We need to consider it in the long term. First Nangong, then Bai clan. This is the order. Moreover, the Nangong family also has a reorganizer Chen Bing on the side. Their original plan should be to wait for Heiliu City After breaking it, we can take back this section of the battle line, so that we can explain it to everyone regardless of the situation. But now that the siege of Black River City has been solved, we must prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry."
Qianye sneered coldly, "Even if they want to cause trouble for us, they have to rest for at least half a month." After that, he briefly talked about his raid on the Nangong Family Base.
Song Zining couldn't help laughing, "Well done! Yishui Nangong can be said to have stolen the chicken but lost the rice this time. In a high-grade family, the overall quality of their Xiaozi and Chengzi descendants is quite good, but they have suffered such heavy losses. , but it will take a long time to catch your breath." However, Song Zining felt a little strange, "How could the Nangong family act in such a crude and direct manner, completely unlike Nangong Bowang's usual insidious style?"
Speaking of this matter, it was Qianye's turn to frown and asked: "Is there any problem on your side? I encountered a caravan of Ningyuan Heavy Industry in Tianhe County thousands of miles away and was ambushed. And why did the Song Clan There has been no statement yet. Even if individual teams are defeated by the strength of Nangong's private army, this is no longer a trivial matter. The empire will not really sit back and watch the two families go to war under the Iron Curtain, right?"
After listening to Qianye’s story about how he met the Ningyuan Heavy Industry Caravan, Song Zining only murmured, "White Clan? Descendants?"
There was a look of tiredness on his brows, and he leaned back in the chair. He was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "I don't know how to tell you about this. In fact, I don't know how. I will be trapped in Blackstream City until the end. If nothing can be done, I will break out on my own, bringing at most one Nangong Xiaoniao with me. I have not let the Red Scorpion team beside her go into battle before, just to be able to **** her out at the last moment. , I will not use any help from Song Vale again."
Qianye was slightly startled, looking at Song Zining's expression, thinking of his arrangements in recent months, and said clearly: "So, you are determined to completely separate from the Song clan."
Song Zining smiled slightly bitterly and said, "Yes. The freight team of Ningyuan Heavy Industry is my last contribution to the family. I caught some people who colluded with each other and had different intentions. As for whether the freight team can be saved. , does not affect the outcome of this game. At this time, those people with evil intentions must have been exposed. But looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the process of cleaning up the family is not smooth. If they are really serious, how can they not solve this small matter. ?"
Qianye said: "Heiliu City's external traffic should be restored soon. Ask Guisuo Zhou Caiguang to send the latest information and we will know what the situation is."
Song Zining said calmly: "He can't find out what's going on within the valve. As for the rest, it's not important now."
However, Qianye could hear a hint of frustration in Song Zining's tone. Even if the Song clan may have encountered some difficulties, their shrinking from rushing to aid Heiliu City is actually a kind of complete indifference. Even Qianye could see that the Nangong family's domineering power was entirely based on the Song clan's silence. If the Song clan had been a little tougher, the situation might have been different.
Perhaps Song Zining did not expect strong support from the family from the beginning, but when he was really ignored to this point, he still felt like a sharp knife.
Qianye didn't know how to comfort Song Zining, so he stood up, walked to the wine cabinet, poured out two glasses of wine, and handed one of them to him.
In a short period of time, Song Zining had overcome most of his depressed mood. He took the wine glass and shook it, watching the liquid hanging on the wall reflect the strange colors of Guanglu, smiled slightly, raised the glass to Qianye, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Qianye, don't worry too much. I'm free, isn't it great?" At this point, Song Zining's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled: "There are so many military exploits of the dark races outside the city. This time I have gained enough dark fire." After upgrading in the expeditionary force sequence, do you want to form another field division for fun, or upgrade the Blackstream City defense area to one level?"
"I'm not that ambitious yet."
"Ambition is something, as long as you sit in this position, even if you don't want it, people around you will force you to have it." Song Zining said with a smile.
Qianye also laughed, sipping the wine in small sips, and the two of them started chatting word by word. In the occasional silence, you could vaguely hear the joyous hustle and bustle in the city outside.
In the Hanbi Garden of the Song Dynasty, people were flowing in and out, and many servants cleaned every corner of the garden. The large courtyard is full of spring scenery, and the wind is full of warmth. Wisps of the dawn force continue to overflow from rockeries, pillars and even flowers. Taking a sip will make people feel relaxed and happy. In terms of strong force of the Force, I am afraid that some small sect training rooms are no more than that.
The servants and maids are all cautious, lest they make even the slightest mistake. Today, the Song Clan's regular elders' meeting was held here. When the ancestors were retreating for meditation, it could be said that all the important figures of the Song Clan were concentrated in Hanbi Garden.
In the Shouzhuo Hall at the north end of the garden, dozens of Song clan elders have been discussing matters for a long time, discussing more than ten major clan issues.
Song Zhongnian's face at the table was dark and he could tell that he was extremely unhappy. But Song Zhongcheng, the former Great Elder, was sitting opposite, with a smile on his face, looking proud of himself, and not at all worried about being dismissed from the post of Great Elder.
"Next let's discuss the expenses for the six houses." Before Song Zhongcheng finished speaking, Song Zhongnian couldn't bear it anymore and said in a deep voice: "We should first discuss how to support Zining! He is trapped now It’s been half a month in Blackstream City!”
Song Zhongcheng coughed and said calmly: "Heiliu City is located in a dangerous area and has long been surrounded by large armies of the dark race. We only have a few three or five teams in the surrounding area. We are really weak. I have already ordered Regardless of losses, they must penetrate the defense line and support Zi Ning. However, in the past half month, they have suffered heavy losses and made little progress. Alas! In fact, the leader does not have to worry about it. With Zi Ning's ability, breaking out is not a problem. ."
Speaking of this, Song Zhongcheng winked, and another elder said: "Elders, this Black River City is not our Song clan's place, and there is no Song clan's team in it. Don't forget, **** battles So far, the military exploits of Heiliu City have all been attributed to Lord Zhao. In my opinion, saving Zining and saving Heiliu City are completely different things."
As soon as this statement came out, all the elders agreed.
Song Zhongnian's face was ashen and he snorted heavily, but he was helpless. The Song clan teams around Heiliu City are all controlled by people from Song Zhongcheng's lineage. They have always been unable to do their job. Song Zhongnian, as the clan leader, has nothing to do with them.
Song Zhongnian snorted and said: "Then let's discuss the case of Ye Mulan, Ye Muwei and the three members of the clan colluding with each other internally and externally to collaborate with the enemy privately, which led to the destruction of our Song clan's caravan. This matter has been verified and the evidence is conclusive. The crime deserves to be punished! I wonder what the elders think?”
Song Zhongcheng stroked his beard and said slowly: "That is the caravan of Ningyuan Heavy Industry, not our Song Clan caravan. Zi Ning has long wanted to separate, how can the property under his name be confused with my Song Clan's? So the two daughters of the Ye family In my opinion, the theory of collaborating with the enemy needs to be further discussed. In addition, this matter is very involved and there are still many doubts. In my opinion, this matter needs to be investigated in detail, so we might as well postpone it until the elders' meeting next month. ”
A look of anger flashed across Song Zhongnian's face, and he shouted: "Song Zhongcheng, all your excuses are just that you refuse to break off Zining's engagement! What are your intentions, do you really think I don't know?!"
The smile on Song Zhongcheng's face did not change, and he said calmly: "I'm just a mature and prudent opinion. It's not that I don't want to discuss it. I just need to check it again. Why does the lord need to be so angry?"
Song Zhongnian's face turned livid and he said coldly: "No, this matter must be discussed now! Elders, don't make any mistakes!" At this point, Song Zhongnian's voice was stern.
Song Zhongcheng's expression also changed, he snorted and said coldly: "You are not the only one who has the final say in the Presbyterian Council! How to deal with this matter requires the approval of all the elders."
Seeing this, all the elders offered advice one after another, but most of them wanted to be peacemakers, but the number of elders who were willing to side with the clan leader Song Zhongnian was not dominant.
Although Song Zhongnian occupies the position of head of the clan, the real person in charge within the Song clan is actually his ancestors, and the ancestors must nod for any major events. Therefore, Song Zhongnian's authority was very limited. Before Song Zhongcheng was removed from the position of great elder, the two lines were actually on par.
In this troubled time, the ancestor suddenly announced her retreat and ordered her to go into seclusion, and ordered that no big event could disturb her retreat. In the eyes of most people, this is actually not a good sign. There have been rumors secretly that the ancestors were actually in retreat in order to extend their lives. Once you can't get over this hurdle, you will die immediately, or your cultivation will be greatly damaged.
Although Song Zhongcheng lost his position as the Great Elder, he is still a centipede. He has operated in the Presbyterian church for many years and is still going strong. Therefore, on some major issues, the two are still at loggerheads.
Seeing the two people gradually falling out, many elders were also fighting in private. The engagement of the Seventh Young Master of the Song Dynasty has actually become a big deal.
Not long ago, Duke Wei Guo announced that he would choose a bride for his beloved daughter Xiner, which immediately caused a sensation among the young talents in the empire. The Duke of Wei is now at the peak of his power, and Xin'er is beautiful and deeply loved by the Duke of Wei. Marrying her is like ascending to heaven in one step. Even the outstanding disciples of the four clans are rarely unmoved.
Song Zhongcheng also proposed marriage to Duke Wei for Song Zian. As long as this marriage is formed, Song Zian is very likely to turn defeat into victory, seize the position of heir to the Song clan, and become the next clan leader. Therefore, it can be said that Song Zhongcheng gave his best and had no reservations. Song Zhongnian's original intention was to untie Song Zining's marriage contract in order to marry the daughter of Duke Wei. After all, after the Tianxuan Spring Hunt, Duke Wei had praised Song Zining more than once, and the Seventh Young Master was known to be charming and suave, and was naturally loved by girls.
At this moment, Song Zining's engagement became the key, and it was also the reason why Song Zhongcheng tried his best to boycott the matter. As long as the day of choosing a bride is delayed, it will be considered successful.
