Monarch of Evernight: A knife in the back

bsp;Everyone frowned and thought. In fact, by now, everyone has already figured out how big the gap in quotas will be. The problem is that the whirlpool appears only once in an unknown amount of time, and the last time it appeared was decades ago. Rumors spread from nowhere, saying that the scale of this maelstrom was much larger than the previous ones. Suddenly, the wealthy families who were qualified to hear the secrets all heard the news and tried desperately to get a few more places. .

After the First World War in the Unfallen City, it was no longer possible to keep this matter a secret, so many aristocratic families responded to the call after learning the reason. Therefore, there are as many aristocratic families showing sufficient 'sincerity' as crucian carp crossing the river. This alone is not enough to determine the quota.

At that moment, a majestic man snorted and said: "Sincerity? Those who are sincere to me may not be sincere to you. How can we compare this sincerity? Isn't it a confusing account? Besides, if it is established, Sincerity is the foundation, do some aristocratic families need to add 'sincerity'?"

Several people in the conference room immediately frowned. As this person said, the so-called sincerity is originally very vague. How to make a decision actually depends on how much support everyone in the conference room is willing to give. If sincerity can still change, then countless variables will be added. Those who are leading naturally do not want to cause trouble, while those who fall short of the quota hope to use this opportunity to make a comeback.

At the moment, everyone had different expressions and made quick calculations. Now that there are very few places left, it's time to show your trump card.

At this time, the old man sitting in the center opened his cloudy eyes again and scanned the crowd. Even though he looked like he was about to die, when everyone was glanced at by him, their whole body was shaken, their faces changed drastically, and one person even had his seat cracked!

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly changed. Everyone put away their tense posture and looked at the old man. This glance reminded them that the old man in the center was the one who truly stood at the pinnacle of the empire. Compared with the Immortal King, one of the two heavenly kings of the imperial family and the great-uncle of the current emperor, the little power in their hands is indeed a bit shabby.

The King of Immortality said in a slow and jerky voice: "The journey to the maelstrom is nothing more than creating a few divine generals. Is it so important? Is it so important that you can even put aside the battle for national destiny?"

An old man in marshal uniform sneered: "The battle for the fate of the country is just the words of Lin Xitang and his family. Humph! He just has a little more knowledge, but he always confuses His Majesty. Now that the war situation has declined to this point, he is about to be kicked out. Lu, apart from wasting people, losing money, and losing troops, what else has the empire gained?"

An old man sitting opposite him said: "Shuai Lu, that's not what you said. Xitang has been showing off his talents since he was young. He has rarely suffered a defeat over the years, and his achievements in Tianyan Technique have reached the pinnacle. . Now that the battle for national destiny has just begun, it would be premature to make this conclusion."

Marshal Lu snorted coldly and said, "Now that we've reached this point, who can turn the tables?"

The old man opposite gave a long laugh and said in a long voice: "What you, Lu Junyi, can't do, Xitang may not be able to do it either. When Xitang became famous in the Yuelu battle, it seemed that he was right in front of him. Haha! ”

Lu Jun's face suddenly turned green and he was furious. During the Battle of Overland, he led the army to fight, but was beaten to a pulp by the army of darkness, and returned in a disastrous defeat. Lin Xitang was still young at that time, and he only had a partial army at his disposal, so he dared to lead this motley army to fight bravely. After several battles, Lin Xitang used his soldiers to appear and disappear. With the help of gods, he would win every battle. He blocked the army of darkness that was ten times its size, allowing the empire to regroup its army, and finally drove the army of darkness out of the mainland.

After this battle, Lin Xitang established the reputation of the imperial military **** and paved the way to the marshal. It is regarded as his battle to become famous. But in comparison, the louder Lin Xitang's reputation became, the more embarrassed Lu Junyi became.

The Immortal King sighed, and the conference room became quiet again. The King of Immortality said slowly: "The Battle of National Destiny has been approved by His Majesty, and there is no need to discuss it further. The issue of quotas has also taken too much time and cannot be without a result. Anyway, most of the quotas have been negotiated, and the remaining few have not yet been decided. It affects the overall situation. It will be midnight in one hour, let’s discuss it then.”

An hour? Time is tight now.

Lu Jun frowned, seeming to have made up his mind, and said, "As for the quota, I have an idea. Maybe I can get one more quota."

A quota means an opportunity to become a **** general, so that these big shots gather here. As soon as he said this, all eyes immediately focused on him.

Lu Jun said: "It seems that the quota for Zhao Clan Qianye can be discussed again."

Everyone was shocked. The majestic man immediately slammed the table and said angrily: "Nonsense! Qianye risked his life to fight against the witch, so there are so many places today! Now we are still trying to get his place, No shame! You are also a marshal!"

Lu Jun had expected this question early on, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked calmly: "Qianye is in such a situation now, can that quota be used? Moreover, the Zhao clan already has Zhao Jundu and Zhao Yuying, is it possible? Are you really sure you want to give them a third spot?"

The majestic and strong man shouted solemnly: "That is your idea, not my serious idea! If we do this this time, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the heroes in the world? Who will be willing to die for the empire in the future?"

Lu Junyi smiled and said: "How can it be so serious? Qianye can't use this quota, so we have to discuss it again. Besides, how much help one more **** general will bring to the empire, how much more is needed Tell me? Mr. Yan is too worried."

At this time, another old man stroked his beard and said: "In Qianye's hand, there seems to be a Sky Wind and Cloud Smoke Bead. Once this object enters the maelstrom, it is possible to absorb the force of the void and turn it into the original crystal. If In terms of value, it is not inferior to that of the God General. However, the level of the original crystal formed and the ability it obtains depend on the person who holds the bead and enters the maelstrom. In Qianye's current situation, it seems that there is no need for this heavenly crystal. "The wind and clouds."

Many people immediately fell into deep thought. Needless to say how precious the original crystal is. A powerful raw crystal is as good as a ready-made **** general. Now that Qian Ye cannot afford to sleep, it seems that the ownership of this bead of smoke in the sky may be discussed again.

Yan Zheng was furious, but with his own strength, he could not defeat everyone, so he could only look at the King of Immortality. However, the Immortal King's eyes were lowered and his head was lowered. He didn't know whether he was sleeping or awake. He obviously didn't intend to interfere in this matter anymore.

When the first ray of morning light illuminated the Unfallen City, Zhao Jundu also slowly opened his eyes. He put his hands on his knees and sat upright, as motionless as a mountain.

The woman appeared behind Zhao Jundu again and said: "Everything has been arranged. From today on, Master Qianye will not be disturbed by anyone."

Zhao Jundu took a breath and said slowly: "I'm afraid the enemy didn't come from the opposite side."

The woman was startled and said in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Jundu did not answer directly, but said: "Counting the time, the news is almost due."

The woman didn't understand what he was talking about. A guard walked over quickly and said, "Sir, the military department is reporting urgently!"

Zhao Jundu did not stand up, received the emergency report, and did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked: "Where are the people from the military headquarters?"

The guard said: "Waiting outside the hall. He wants to wait for the young master's reply so that he can go back and respond."

Zhao Jundu nodded, opened the emergency report, and read it slowly. Although his palace was getting deeper and deeper, his expression changed after reading this urgent letter, his murderous aura was uncontrollable, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply.

The urgent report was not long, but Zhao Jundu spent a lot of time reading it. After reading it, he handed the urgent report to the woman and said, "You should also read it."

Women are not as powerful as Zhao Jundu. After just one glance, they became furious and shouted: "This is really unreasonable!!"

Zhao Jundu has regained his composure and said calmly: "This matter was expected, but I didn't expect that they would do it to this extent."

"Master Qianye risked his life and fought desperately to defeat the witch, so he won this battle and got so many places! Now that Qianye is not dead, these people are eager to seize his place and Tian Fengyun Yanzhu? Are you still shameless?"

Zhao Jundu shook his head and sighed: "For some people, face is worth more than mountains; for others, it is worthless at all. How can it be as real as a quota?"

The woman gritted her teeth and said: "Do they really think that they can surely catch a **** general after entering the maelstrom? If the **** general is so easy to achieve, then the empire is not worth a penny if there are not **** generals everywhere now?"

Zhao Jundu has completely calmed down and said: "But for some people, this is the difference between hope and despair."

The woman seemed to have guessed, snorted and said: "Only those trash from the Song clan are so anxious to jump over the wall. But the Bai clan is not much better, their old guys just live longer than Mrs. Anguo Just a few years."

Zhao Jundu laughed and said: "It is a big crime to have people listen to you for making irresponsible remarks about government affairs."

The woman sneered, "Anyone who dares to sue me will be killed!"

Zhao Jundu did not continue the topic, but asked: "Is Qianye okay?".

"Very stable, no change."

Zhao Jundu nodded and said: "That's good. This time the quota may not come back, but no one can take it away from Tian Fengyun Yanzhu."

"But who will infuse it?" She obviously also knows the secret of Tianfengyun Yanzhu.

"If Qianye doesn't wake up in time, then let me do it."

This answer stunned the woman. But she was familiar with Zhao Jundu's character and knew that when he said this, he had already made a decision and could not change it.

All she could do was sigh secretly and ask: "What's the answer from the military department?"

Zhao Jundu had already known something about this, so he ordered: "Call the people from the military department."

After a while, a brigadier general and a lieutenant colonel stood in front of Zhao Jundu. Being able to send a brigadier general out to deliver a message is a very high standard.

This brigadier general serves in the military and has a much higher status than the imperial generals of the same level. However, in front of Zhao Jundu, no general can stand up. He saluted respectfully and said: "General Jundu has read the urgent report. No matter what you think, please ask for instructions so that I can go back and resume my duties."

Zhao Jundu raised the urgent letter in his hand, smiled slightly, rubbed his hands together, and crushed the urgent letter into ashes!

"Urgent report? What urgent report? I have never seen it."

The brigadier general's mind suddenly went blank.

PS: I had a high fever last night and I couldn’t bear it anymore. I didn’t finish coding the last bit. I got up this morning to make up for everyone. There is another update today, which is a normal update.
