Monarch of Evernight: Sixty-four chapters

bsp;After Qianye walked into the Zhao clan camp, he smelled the thick smell of gunpowder smoke. Soldiers practicing or changing defenses can be seen everywhere. Various tanks and weapons parked in the open air show signs of having just experienced war. Countless craftsmen and technicians are busy climbing up and down at work.

However, Qianye suddenly discovered a detail. Half of the camp in front of him was a mobile barracks with thin armor, and the engineering team was constantly replacing the remaining field tents with mobile barracks. He turned his head and looked at the stations of several other private armies of other aristocratic families nearby. The situation was similar.

War is a waste of money, and semi-permanent fortifications are much more expensive than temporary fortifications. This posture not only requires a protracted war, but also may keep troops stationed for a period of time after the war is over. This means that the empire may have changed its previous strategy of not stationing regular troops in Yongye this time.

Full of questions, Qianye followed the Zhao clan soldiers who led the way into the core area of ​​the camp. The circle of tents in front were the offices and residences of Youguo Gong Zhao Xuanji and Zhao clan’s senior generals. From the outside, they looked simple and unpretentious, different from ordinary The warrior barracks are no different.

When Qianye knocked on the door and entered, Justice You Guo was reviewing official documents. On his right hand was a tall pile of documents that had been reviewed, while on his left hand there were two full piles of documents waiting to be read.

Zhao Xuanji put down the pen in his hand, glanced at Qianye, his eyes flashed with joy, and stood up and said: "I hope you come back safely. It seems that your trip went well."

Qianye saluted and said: "I did gain something. I was lucky enough to complete the mission, but I was also injured because of it. I had run out of ammunition and food at that time, and I had never met the eldest son and the fourth son, so I had to go back first. ..."

Zhao Xuanji walked out from behind the desk, waved his hand for Qianye to sit down, and was stunned when he heard this, "Did you complete the task?"

"Killed a ghost clone." This was the answer Qianye had thought of for a long time.

Even though Lord Youguo had seen countless storms in his life, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The empire recruits strong men to enter the Sleep of Behemoths. The most fundamental purpose is to explore the terrain and kill the strong men in the Yongye camp. As long as they bring back relevant information, they will have guaranteed military merit. Therefore, the Youguo public sees that Qianye is safe. It's been a pleasure to return. As for those two tasks, it was still a matter of chance to seize the ancient essence fragments, but dealing with the ghost clones was supposed to be a matter for the last group of marquis-level experts to enter.

Zhao Xuanji said seriously: "This matter is not trivial. Can you confirm it?"

Qianye said calmly: "How could I lie about such a big matter?"

Zhao Xuanji's face relaxed and he nodded: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that killing the ghost clone is a bit difficult for you, so I asked one more question. Do you have any way to prove it?"

"The ghost clone left behind a hot crystal after his death. I didn't know what it was at the time, so I accidentally absorbed it."

Zhao Xuanji raised his eyebrows and asked with concern: "Absorbed? How do you feel? Is there anything wrong?"

"I felt a little uncomfortable during the absorption process. After that, I became much more sensitive to the force of the void. I also saw some memory scenes, which should be related to the ghosts." Qianye Ju told the truth about this aspect.

With the depth of Zhao Xuanji's city, he was moved when he heard this and said: "Can you actually get the memory of the ghost clone? This, this is perfect absorption! Okay, okay!"

Qianye concentrated his mind, searching for the remaining will of the ghost clone in his body, and then a mysterious wave radiated from his body, with a desolation as if he had reached the end of a long time in the vastness.

Zhao Xuanji suddenly waved his hand, and each of his five fingertips shot out a sharp source of force, piercing Qianye's vital points all over his body. The five forces have different attributes. Three of them are pure dawn force, and there is a purple-black aura, but it is the force in the middle. The last one is the real void force. It is formless and formless, but it is the most powerful, far exceeding the sum of the other four force forces.

These five rays of force shot out like lightning. Zhao Xuanji had no warning when he took action. Only when the sharp energy reached his body did Qianye realize something was wrong. He reacted almost instinctively, sinking his elbow to meet the void force. As for the other four force forces, he could only rely on his body to resist.

A thunderous sound sounded in the room, and Qianye and the sofa were knocked backwards, with a flush on his face. There were four big holes in his suit, exposing his skin, and there was a red spot on each skin.

Qianye looked embarrassed, but the real fatal threat of void force had been broken by him head-on. Although Zhao Xuanji had some reservations, these four finger forces failed to scratch his skin. It's shocking to say it.

Zhao Xuanji had a happy face and couldn't help but nod his head, praising: "Not bad, really good! Being able to see through my real force with one finger shows that you are indeed very sensitive to the force of the void. Just by doing this If you don’t have the same perception, you will get twice the result with half the effort when you surpass the divine general in the future, right? The aura you simulated earlier came from the ghost clone, right?"

Qianye nodded.

"Then there is no problem. Anyone who completes the task in Sleep of the Behemoth needs to meet with Commander Zhang Boqian to get final confirmation. Commander Zhang has participated in the War between Heaven and Ghost, and this breath can prove it."

Want to meet Zhang Boqian? Qianye's heart skipped a beat and he tried to keep his face calm. Can his latent bloodline be hidden from the eyes of the King of Heaven? Moreover, at this moment, Qianye not only has blood in his body, but also has condensed blood core. There is no way to explain this by saying that it is mixed with the dark force.

When Qianye was deep in thought, he heard Zhao Xuanji say: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you killed the heavenly ghosts independently or just happened to encounter a seriously injured clone of the heavenly ghosts. What really matters is that The understanding you gained from the battle and the perfect absorption of the essence of the ghost clone are opportunities that you would never get in a hundred battles."

Qianye remained silent, knowing that Zhao Xuanji had more to say.

Sure enough, Zhao Xuanji said sternly: "Qianye, since you have this opportunity, I, the Zhao clan, will not hesitate to cultivate you. As long as you serve the family wholeheartedly, then until the **** general, all the resources are needed. , all available! ”

Qianye glanced at Duke You Guo and said solemnly: "I will try my best."

This was not the answer Zhao Xuanji was expecting. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "Qianye, I know you may still have a grudge about what happened back then. This is Wei Huang's family matter, and it's not convenient for me. Too much talk. But you are the best choice regardless of your character and talent. I will just say one more thing. Qianye, blood is always thicker than water, and this blood connection cannot be broken. There’s nothing wrong with that.”

Qianye Moran, Duke You Guo, that is what most people would think, but he himself knows that it is not the case. After learning the reason for the Force plunder from Zhao Weihuang, he had completely let go of his injustice. In his short and difficult life, he already had more important things than blood relatives, that is, his lover, brother and comrade-in-arms who shared life and death together.

Qianye didn’t want to explain more and just said: “My lord, this is the truth, but it always takes some time. No matter what, I will try my best from now on. Please rest assured, lord.”

Zhao Xuanji smiled happily and said: "That's indeed the truth. You don't need to be anxious, just let everything take its course. Oh, by the way, Wei Huang is a bit careless, and he often throws everything at him when fighting begins. If you have something to do in the future and you don’t have time to come to him, you can still come to me for some minor matters.”

After hearing this, Qianye sighed in his heart and could only say: "Thank you so much, Lord."

Zhao Xuanji waved his hand: "No need to thank me, you earned this with your own blood and life."

Zhao Xuanji did not stay long and ordered people to take Qianye to rest.

Qianye was placed in the officer's station and given a separate barracks. He asked for some food and paper and pen to prepare a field report. The world that is suppressed by the will of the giant beasts, the terrain distribution, indigenous species, celestial phenomena and climate, and even the impact on outsiders, are all the information the empire needs.

After writing two or three pages, Qianye has been a little uneasy. Thinking of meeting Commander Zhang Boqian tomorrow, he can't help but feel guilty. What worried him the most at the moment was Ye Tong. She was waiting alone outside Heiliu City. If she couldn't wait for a long time, what would she think and do?

But it is impossible for Qianye to let others send messages to Ye Tong. Even if he can pass the message, what can he say? He simply could not foresee what would happen tomorrow.

When Qianye was upset, he suddenly heard the guard outside the door shouting: "Master Qianye, General Song Zining wants to see you!"

"Zi Ning?!" Qianye stood up immediately. He thought of what Li Kuanglan said in the cave world. Could it be that Song Zining really came to Sleep of the Beast to participate in the ground war? But when did he become a general?

Qianye opened the door, and the person standing in front of him was indeed Song Zining. He was dressed in a black and gold general uniform, which added a bit of heroism to his handsome face. The military rank on his shoulders turned out to be Major General. Behind him, there were two stunningly beautiful female officers, both majors, with proud figures.

The seventh young master is the seventh young master. Even when he arrives at the imperial camp, there are always beauties around him.

Qianye looked at Song Zining and was suddenly startled and said, "This is the uniform of the Imperial Military Department!"

Song Zining smiled and said: "I am currently temporarily posted in the military, so of course I have to wear their military uniform."

"But when did you join the Imperial Military?"

Song Zining laughed and said: "It's just a temporary post. I'm just doing odd jobs with Marshal Bo Qian. It's easier to do things if I have an identity, so the Marshal gave me these clothes to wear."

You can wear the uniform of a major general staff officer in the military department if you want to have any identity? Qianye could only be speechless about this.

Qianye glanced at the two beautiful officers behind Song Zining and said, "Zi Ning, you came just in time. I have something to ask you for."

Song Zining smiled and said: "I also have something to tell you." He slapped the two female officers on the buttocks each and said: "You guys find a place to rest first, and I will talk to my brother."

The two female officers rolled their eyes at Song Zining, and then gave Qianye a fierce look. Looking at the posture, they wanted to eat Qianye on the spot, and then reluctantly followed Zhao Clan who was leading the way. The warrior leaves.

Qianye was speechless and somewhat puzzled by their bold behavior, and looked at Song Zining. Even though Song Zining has always been romantic, he is not ignorant of the overall situation. This is a real battlefield, and it is still a large army under Zhang Boqian's command. How could such a person appear?

Seeing Qianye looking at him, Song Zining shrugged and clarified: "This matter has nothing to do with me. They were in the army, and I only met them after I came here. In fact, these two people are from aristocratic families, and they have different maternal lines. /Jing Busha, the real purpose of coming to the army is to get to know young heroes so that they can solve life-long problems. Are you interested? If you have any ideas, I will ask them out tonight."
