Monarch of Evernight: 143 is inappropriate
bsp;Qianye sighed secretly in his heart, this may be the price of war.
After half a day of peace, Guanlan City suddenly fell into chaos at nightfall. Fires were ignited everywhere in the city, the sounds of killing and fighting could be heard one after another, and the city defense turrets were also firing desperately. It's just that some of them fired aimlessly into the air, while others had clear targets and cleared them one by one in a very hierarchical manner. There were even turrets that blasted an adjacent turret, and it didn't take long for it to collapse. .
The streets are full of family private troops passing by in a hurry. Among them, the Xue family has the largest number and is the most eye-catching. These soldiers were full of murderous intent and rushed into several family houses. Once inside, they killed everyone they saw without mercy. Even a small family that had always been on good terms with the Xue family was not immune.
I don’t know when several floating ships appeared in the night sky. They looked like ordinary cargo ships, but their firepower was incredibly powerful. Anywhere on the ground that resists fiercely will be attacked from the air, suppressed in an instant, and then swept away by the Xue family's private army.
The fierce fighting lasted all night, and then gradually stopped at dawn, sporadic gunshots could still be heard from time to time.
Qianye was currently standing on the aeroboat in the sky, looking down at the burning city. The aerospace ship kept hovering in the sky, vibrating violently from time to time, and dumped cannonballs into the city below.
The artillery fire was extremely accurate. As far as Qianye could see, there was almost no accidental damage. This shows that the gunner operating the cannon is also a strong man, with at least a warrior-level cultivation.
On the ground, the resistance of each family gradually collapsed. Occasionally, a dark figure would leap out from the battlefield, and would be immediately chased and killed by several people. They were demon descendants hidden in various families. When the turmoil broke out, they didn't have time to escape.
Not many demons were killed, and they were not very strong. A strong person of Aiden’s level was never seen before, so Qianye and Ji Tianqing had no chance to take action. This is not surprising. Demons are also good at hiding and breaking through. Real strong men see that the situation is not good and have already escaped when the war first breaks out. The rest are just small fish and shrimps.
However, after this battle, the demonic forces still suffered heavy losses, and the vassal families were uprooted, causing them to lose all their minions, ears, and eyes, and it was no longer possible to organize effective actions. Although they still have strong men like Aiden, the empire also has Qianye, and Aiden does not dare to act rashly.
With this free space, Song Zining has an advantage and can make arrangements calmly. Even though the commanding power of this battle is not in his hands, based on Qianye's understanding of Song Zining, the former Seventh Young Master of the Song Clan will still give his all without any reservation.
The price for this opportunity is the burning city of Guanlan and the exterminated families in the city. The hatred tonight may last for hundreds of years.
This is war.
Looking at the battlefield silently, Qianye suddenly asked: "How many people did you send?"
Ji Tianqing did not answer but asked: "Did you see it?"
Qianye pointed casually and said: "Aren't those people the Broken-Winged Angels? The technique is too obvious."
"Less than a hundred."
Although less than a hundred people were sent to Guanlan City this time, they were all elite. They were divided into groups of several people, sometimes infiltrating alone, sometimes working together in groups, and working together to capture large targets. Looking at the leaping elites on the ground, Qianye seemed to have returned to his rookie career.
From the beginning to the end, Aiden or other powerful demons did not appear, and there was no suspense in the battle. Finally, Ji Tianqing said: "Go back." The aerial ship slowly turned around and flew towards Nan Qingcheng.
In Nanqing City, the Dark Fire headquarters was not filled with victory and joy, but instead was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
In the conference room, Song Zining sat upright, waving the folding fan gently, with a calm attitude. However, several of his cronies behind him were not so relaxed. Some looked very nervous, while others glared angrily. Probably because all the accusations in the conference room at this moment were directed at Song Zining.
Yan Ding did not sit down, but stood, with his hand almost pointing to the tip of Song Zining's nose: "Song Zining! You are so arrogant! Who gave you the courage to rob the military warship! This is a grave crime of extermination!"
Song Zining did not answer, but used a folding fan to push away the finger that was close to poking the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "General Yan, calm down."
Yan Ding was so angry that he was trembling all over and said angrily: "Song Zining! Okay, very good! Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to the family?"
"Oh, I'm afraid..."
In addition to Yan Ding and Song Zining, there were two other parties in the room. At this moment, some people couldn't help but chuckle.
Everyone knows that even if Song Zining commits the crime of genocide, no one can really copy the Song clan. The common practice in the empire was for the Song clan to expel Song Zining from the family and sever ties with him. This is also a privilege of aristocratic families. If it were a noble family, they would really confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.
Yan Ding obviously knew this, so he was even more furious. If he hadn't been self-aware and knew that he was no match for Song Zining, he would have taken action violently at this moment.
However, he could not be scolded or beaten. In front of everyone, Yan Ding felt that he had lost face and couldn't help but said angrily: "You aristocratic families are the cancer of the empire. If we don't uproot you, there will be no hope of reviving the empire!"
As soon as this statement came out, many people’s expressions immediately changed. Basically, most of the people present came from aristocratic families, and a few had various connections.
Li Kuanglan was also present, and his sword eyebrows were about to explode. An old man beside him couldn't hold himself back anymore and said coldly: "Our families followed Taizu in establishing the country. We have shed so much blood and sweat over the past thousands of years to have the empire we have today. How dare you, ignorant people, speak nonsense?"
Another old man also said: "The military department serves the empire and keeps some hawks and dogs. Why are you so arrogant recently and can't figure out your identity?"
Another person said sarcastically: "Is the military planning to exterminate our family? Then after all the members of our family fall, who will we get rid of?"
"Do you still need to ask? Whoever is in charge of the military department will be removed."
Yan Ding was furious at first, but later he broke into a cold sweat. These aristocratic family members were very sophisticated in planning and did not say anything about Yan Ding, but they all put their hat on the military department. If these heartbreaking words were spread back, the military boss would definitely be the first to let Yan Ding go, and there would be no need for the family members to take action.
At this time, Song Zining said: "I just borrowed a few cargo ships. Why should General Yan be so impatient? They are coming back soon now. If there is any damage, I will compensate you. If you have any merit, you can It’s also your share, General Yan!”
Yan Ding was originally in dire straits, but now he finally found a way forward. He snorted loudly and said, "If there is any merit, then it is because of your Seventh Young Master's careful planning. How can I pretend to take it?"
He had an angry look on his face, but he was very fast on his feet. He quickly returned to his seat and sat down. The room was divided into four parties, including the Song Zining, Yan Ding, Li Kuanglan and other aristocratic families, as well as the imperial family. These few dozen people represent the entire strength of the empire in the neutral land.
At this moment, on the side of the imperial family, an old man with a pale face and a beardless face cleared his throat and said slowly: "Seven Young Masters' thunderous methods have indeed lived up to the trust and trust of King Qingyang. Our family admires it. It's just that this battle only made the surroundings quieter. , the hidden demon has not been injured."
Song Zining said without hesitation: "Attack Tingchao City and capture the Maelstrom!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.
The old man with a white face and no beard could not hide his shock and said: "Seven Young Masters are joking? How can we attack Tingchao City with just the people like us now?"
Song Zining said: "With our current strength, we are indeed slightly inferior to Tingchao City, but it is not impossible for us to fight. As long as we contain Luo Bingfeng, the leader of Tingchao City, concentrate all our military power, attack in the east and attack in the west, avoid the real and attack the weak, we can't It is difficult to defeat Ting Chaocheng's defenders, and Luo Bingfeng will retreat with his hands alone."
The old man frowned and said: "This move is too risky. We know nothing about Luo Bingfeng, how easy is it to contain such a great master? In addition, according to the wishes of the Seventh Young Master, the command and scheduling of this battle is also The key is, who should direct it?"
Song Zining said calmly: "Of course it's me."
The old man in the imperial family frowned and said nothing, Yan Dingze sneered: "How do I know that you will not deliberately let my people die? I have offended your seventh young master to death, right?"
Song Zining ignored him, but looked at Li Kuanglan and asked, "What did Mr. Kuanglan say?"
Li Kuanglan snorted, expressionless, and said calmly: "This is inappropriate."
Song Zining looked astonished, he was not pretending. He calmed down and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's just not right!"
Song Zining opened his mouth, stunned, not knowing how to answer. Judging from what Li Kuanglan meant, it seemed that no matter what Song Zining said, he would continue to oppose it. All the family members, including an elder of the Li family, looked at each other in confusion, wondering what Li Kuanglan meant by this move.
"Master Kuanglan, this matter is of great importance. Haven't we already discussed it?" Song Zining said. As soon as these words came out, Yan Ding immediately snorted, extremely dissatisfied. The old man in the imperial family was also thoughtful. Obviously, Song Zining and the aristocratic families headed by the Li family had a secret agreement for a long time, but they didn't know how far the secret agreement covered. In addition, for some reason, it seems that Li Kuanglan does not intend to fulfill the secret agreement.
The elder of the Li family coughed and said: "Sir, what's wrong, you might as well tell me. The Seventh Young Master and my Li family have always been on good terms, and they have been very helpful recently. The queen has high praise for the Seventh Young Master. ”
Unexpectedly, Li Kuanglan stood up and said loudly: "It's just inappropriate! If you are willing to talk, just continue talking, and there is no need to look for me again!"
After saying that, he stood up with his sword and left the table.
Song Zining could not hide his astonishment, and the elders of the aristocratic family also looked confused, not understanding what went wrong. The Li family were old enough to have seen big scenes. At this moment, they smoothed things over and said, "Master Kuanglan has other important matters. Please leave for a while and we can continue the discussion."
Although Li Kuanglan has the highest status among the Li family in the Neutral Land, he is devoted to martial arts and has no interest in other things and is unwilling to care about those trivial matters. Therefore, his presence or absence is just a symbol. . The elder of the Li family was the one who did the actual work. Therefore, although Li Kuanglan suddenly left the table, everyone was stunned and continued to discuss.
As for why Li Kuanglan lost his temper suddenly, everyone is smart and would not ask no matter how curious they are.
Yan Ding suddenly said angrily: "You guys discuss it slowly, I think it's better for me to take the first step."
Song Zining smiled and said: "General Yan, why should we leave in a hurry? If we win this battle, the credit will be too great, no matter how much we divide it, it will not be less."
Yan Ding looked disdainful, but he couldn't move his feet.
Both the aristocratic family and the imperial family looked indifferent. At this time, everyone knew in their hearts that the battleship in Yan Ding's hands was taken away by Song Zining somehow, and he would never get it back. Therefore, in the battle of Tingchaocheng, it doesn't mean much whether Yan Dingshen participates or not. It's just one more level 16 strongman. In the upcoming battle, the key is to contain Luo Bingfeng, which is a battle close to the level of a king. Therefore, whether there is strict determination or not has nothing to do with the final outcome.
However, Song Zining was still willing to share the credit with Yan Ding. Some old people nodded secretly, feeling that although the seventh son of the Song clan was young, he was experienced in handling affairs and would have a lot to do in the future. Unknowingly, his evaluation of Song Zining was a little higher.
Only those who are truly familiar with Song Zining will know that when Qi Shao smiles, no one knows what he is thinking.
