Monarch of Evernight: The two of them are at peace

bsp;Qianye turned around and looked at his subordinates. They all survived the disaster. Everyone was injured, and nearly half of them had difficulty moving. The really seriously injured ones were still lying on the boat and would need to be lifted off later. Many mercenaries are usually unkempt, and they are even less likely to care when they are injured. At this moment, at a glance, they look more like refugees than mercenaries.

Since he is injured, he cannot show much momentum. An injured beast cannot compare favorably with its intact counterpart.

Ji Rui was an experienced man. To show that he was not just flattering others, he smiled and said: "Sir, the Qin Empire is full of talented people, but they are probably just ordinary people in comparison. But in our neutral land, this is rare. In my opinion, half of you have the potential to break through the ranks of warriors, but things were different at that time."

Qianye immediately understood what Ji Rui meant. In Qianye's opinion, although the old fox's words were still a bit exaggerated, it was indeed possible for about one-third of the mercenaries to break through.

If resources are sufficient and most of these potential mercenaries break through, there will be dozens more generals in the future. Even the top ten main legions in the empire's serial numbers are nothing more than this. Even those who have no potential to break through can still reach a higher level of combat power.

The mercenaries in the neutral land are not lacking in blood and ferocity, but they are lacking in resources and environment.

Looking at it this way, it is true that as Ji Rui said, everyone is a talent. It's just that these few hundred people crawled out from the pile of corpses of 40,000 people.

"Let's go back to the city. How is the situation in the city now?"

Ji Rui immediately said: "What else can be done? Those merchant houses and large and small families are all very honest! Now that I heard the news that you have returned with a great victory, how can anyone dare to jump? There are even dishonest people. You took care of me last time too.”

Qianye nodded and said, "That's good."

The situation in the neutral land has not changed much. Although the dark fire has come out in full force, Nanqing and Tingchao City are still stable, and no one has the courage to jump out and seize power again. thing.

The last time Qianye came back, he taught those restless people a good lesson. Even Zhang Tianwang’s nephew was detained by Qianye. In the end, he even paid Tingchaocheng to come out, and the others were weighing themselves. Who dares to mess with the portion?

The news of the Empire’s final victory in the Floating Land War has also spread. Although Dark Fire suffered heavy losses and was nearly wiped out, they were the victorious side after all and would soon regain their strength.

Where there are resources, there are manpower, and where there are manpower, there is strength. No matter how tragic the number of casualties is, it does not seem so thrilling when placed in the entire neutral land, or even the continent where all races are struggling to survive.

The off-road vehicle was already waiting nearby. Ji Rui personally opened the door for Qianye and waited for Qianye to get on the vehicle, acting like a servant. At least in name, he is still the Lord of Nanqing City, and his personal strength is not weak. It is really surprising to lower his stature like this.

"City Lord Ji, isn't this bad?"

Ji Rui said with a smile on his face: "Okay, why not? With your status, I won't be ashamed to be your follower. As a city lord, I'd better go. If you miss your old friendship, then I can just find a position in the dark fire."

Qianye frowned and said, "This is too unfair to you."

Ji Rui put away his smile and said: "What you said is obvious. In fact, we have known each other for quite a long time. I have watched with my own eyes how you grew up, and I have also seen how you treat An Yin. Brother Huo, and the one who single-handedly changed the entire Nanqing industrial structure."

"It is Zining's credit for changing the industrial structure." Qianye did not want to take credit.

Ji Ruidao: "Zi Ning is your brother, but in fact you are the pillar of the entire Dark Fire. With all due respect, if I fight you now, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long, right?"

Qianye thought about it seriously, and then said with sincerity: "I can still... that, it will last for a long time."

Ji Rui laughed and said: "Don't show mercy to me, Lao Ji! If you miss the old relationship, then give me the position of deputy captain, but as long as it is a false position, I don't want to have anything to do with it. Fighting a war You can call me when you are ready.”

Ji Rui was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable that Qianye could not refuse, so he nodded.

Ji Rui waited for Qianye to get on the bus, and then he took the adjutant's seat in the front row, posing very elegantly. On the way, he suddenly asked: "Lord Qianye, tell me the truth, how long can I last?"

Ji Rui asked so sincerely that Qianye thought seriously, with hesitation on his face, clearly not knowing what to say.

He is now at the level of Marquis of Glory, which is equivalent to crossing the Heavenly Gate of Divine General for the human race, and there is a qualitative gap between him and Ji Rui in terms of cultivation level. Moreover, most of Qianye's methods are extremely powerful and can be fatal in one blow.

Since Ji Rui asked, Qianye first thought of the original spear. Needless to say, if Ji Rui is hit by the advanced version of light black light feather, he will die. The original spear cannot kill the Duke, but it can still defeat a human race that has not even reached the level of a divine general. It seems that Ji Rui can't stand the ordinary version of the original gun.

The next step is to bury the heart. Whether this gun is in the hands of Zhao Jundu or Qianye, it seems to be an instant kill for the generals.

If neither of them is used, then it is Dongyue, who can control all directions with one move. Now Qianye can cut seven swords in a row. If they are concentrated in a small fan, Ji Rui will die if he can't escape.

Finally, there is the vitality plunder. With the current coverage area, Ji Rui will no longer be able to escape. Although he will not die after being hit, his combat power will be reduced to seven or eighty-seven. Hitting a few more blood lines is more likely to directly damage the root cause.

After thinking about it, I hope Ji Rui can hold on longer. The so-called long time is just that he didn't fall down with the first move, but he couldn't withstand the second move. However, Life Plunder is a deadly weapon in group battles, and Qianye is not very good at using it in single combat.

There is also an indirect way, which is to let Xiao Zhuji go. The little guy sprayed the poison in, probably Ji Rui would be disabled even if he didn't die.

Seeing the change in Qianye's face, Ji Rui already knew what he was doing. His smile was immediately awkward and he said mockingly: "It seems that there is no need for adults to say it. I probably know that I am lucky to survive one of your attacks."

"One move is still possible!" Qianye quickly made amends. As soon as the words came out, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

The driver's body tensed up momentarily, then slowly relaxed. Only then did Qianye notice that the driver was actually Guan Zhongliu. The former commander-in-chief of the City Guards now also lowered his profile.

Ji Ruidu couldn't do a single move under Qianye's hands, let alone Guan Zhongliu. At this moment, he was feeling complicated inside, and it all showed up physically.

Ji Rui said: "Sir Qianye, it seems that I am going to be the deputy leader. I can just be a little boss!"

Qianye said hurriedly: "How is this possible? The deputy captain has no problem."

Ji Rui was overjoyed and said: "I will try my best!"

The convoy passed through Nan Qingcheng and soon arrived at the Dark Fire headquarters. Ji Rui sent Qianye downstairs before returning to the city lord's mansion.

On the off-road vehicle, Guan Zhongliu couldn't help but said: "City Lord, it seems there is no need for us to be so aggrieved, right?"

Ji Rui shook his head, "Aggrieved? Do you really feel that way?"

"Qianye is awesome, I admit that, but you are the lord of a city after all. At worst, we will conquer the world and build a foundation."

Ji Rui sighed and said: "Lao Guan, you think I have been wronged. But do you know who the deputy captains of An Huo are?"

"Aren't there just two young people?..." Guan Zhongliu's voice trailed off halfway through his words.

There are only two official deputy captains of Dark Fire, one is Song Zining, the other is Ji Tianqing, and Li Kuanglan may barely count as half.

Although Guan Zhongliu doesn't know Ji Tianqing's true identity, he still has some understanding of her combat power.

Ji Rui said slowly: "I won't mention the Seventh Young Master. As for Miss Ji, at this age, she can have such fighting power. Do you think her origins will be simple? Judging from the Seventh Young Master's attitude towards her, perhaps her true origins It will scare us to death. I am actually the one who has the upper hand as a colleague of these two. Think about it, in a few years, when they all have passed through the gates of the gods, where will there be a place for me? ”

Guan Zhongliu opened his mouth wide and said after a while: "It's not that easy."

"It's not easy for us, but for them, it's probably a different story."

"But..."

"Laoguan, we are all very old. For more than a year, I have been the nominal city lord, which I think is not bad. I don't want to go out to fight anymore. I want to find someone to follow me. Isn’t it good to have a simple and relaxing life? ”

Guan Zhongliu opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. He suddenly discovered that the attraction of a stable life was becoming more and more powerful, and even living under others did not seem completely unacceptable.

"Then Qianye..." After the words came out of his mouth, Guan Zhongliu couldn't continue.

Ji Rui smiled and said: "Master Qianye is a generous man and has a bright future. His current strength is far superior to that of us. I can't help but tremble in front of him now. Isn't this The most worthy person to follow? ”

Guan Zhongliu knew that this was reasonable, so he could only sigh.

Dark Fire Headquarters, a new building has been built next to the original command building. Its height can be called the highest in Nanqing, and it is far higher than the main building of the City Lord's Mansion. The interior of the building has not yet been fully decorated, and a large number of craftsmen are busy at work.

Several attendants led Qianye up the stairs to the top floor and said respectfully: "Sir, this is your new office."

"What's going on?" Qianye didn't remember such a building.

The attendant said: "After you and Master Zining left, City Lord Ji felt that the Dark Fire Headquarters was not grand enough and inconsistent with your status, so he built this new building. The entire building was paid for by the City Lord, and the craftsmen were also sent by the City Lord. In order to meet the deadline, the city lord and Commander Guan personally went to the construction site to supervise the work. It’s just that the time is still too short, but you and Master Zining’s offices are ready.”

Qianye pushed the door open and walked in. His eyes were filled with antique furnishings, simple and grand. Every ornament in the house is obviously carefully selected and has an extraordinary origin. It seems that they are all treasures collected by Ji Rui himself.

The office occupies almost half a floor, and the space itself constitutes a kind of beauty. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the entire Nanqing City, including the City Lord's Mansion.

In such a scene, the spirit comes from itself.

Qianye nodded and said: "The city lord is interested."

The attendant asked: "As long as you like it, sir, would you like to help you move everything here now?"

"Wait a minute, you are all from the City Lord's Mansion, right?" Qianye recognized that most of the attendants in the building were not from the mercenary group.

The attendant said: "We were all working in the City Lord's Mansion. Mr. Ji said that he did not plan to be the City Lord in the future, so there is no need for so many people. For the sake of our many years of safe work, let us come to Dark Fire to help You do some chores."

Qianye nodded, not doubting whether Ji Rui wanted to plant an informant around him. These attendants are capable and quick, and they are very easy to use.

Qianye sat down and someone handed over a thick stack of documents, which covered the operation of Dark Fire during this period, as well as the operations of the major workshops affiliated with Dark Fire in Nan Qingcheng.

Qianye cheered up, opened the file, and read it carefully. By the time I finished reading all the documents, it was already dark before I knew it. He only felt that his eyes were a little sore, and he had a long-lost feeling again. It turned out that dealing with official duties every day was not easy.
