Monarch of Evernight: Eighty-Nine Calculations

bsp;Qianye took two steps after chasing Zhao Jundu, but could no longer find where Zhao Jundu was. Only then did he realize that he did not know where Song Zining was in the new camp. He scratched his head with a headache, and then went to find Duke Youguo. The adjutant asked where the imperial military staff was stationed.

Zhao Jundu moved much faster. A streak of purple energy passed through the camp and did not stop until it reached the entrance of the Chinese army camp. A moment later, he found Song Zining in a separate tent of the staff headquarters.

Song Zining was standing in front of the table, drawing a picture of a tiger under the moon. When Zhao Jundu pushed the door open and entered, he had just finished the last stroke. He glanced at the cold-faced Zhao Jundu and sighed: "I knew there would be evil guests coming to my door today. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I want a favor from you, and give it to Li Kuanglan." Zhao Jundu said straight to the point.

Song Zining's expression suddenly turned ugly, "Can't you make another request? It must be her?"

"It must be her."

"Absolutely not! It's not like you don't know her identity." Song Zining flatly refused.

Zhao Jundu slowly moved his fingers, "I'm not here to discuss with you, just to inform you."

Song Zining sneered: "Want to take action? Feel free, I won't fight back. This is the Chinese Army. If you kill me, you will also be in trouble."

Zhao Jundu's eyes were full of frost, and he pointed at Song Zining's throat. As expected, Song Zining did not dodge or evade, and did not even use the Force to protect himself. Zhao Jundu's fingertips stopped just short of Song Zining's throat, and the wind of his fingers pierced a red dot on his skin. With just one move forward, he could penetrate Song Zining's neck.

Anger flashed across Zhao Jundu's face, and he said in a deep voice: "I never expected that the dignified Seventh Young Master of the Song Dynasty would actually act rogue."

Song Zining smiled and said: "To each other, doesn't Fourth Young Master Zhao sometimes force others to make things difficult for him? Having said that, I am proud to be able to act like a rogue in front of you, Fourth Young Master."

"You must give this favor to Li Kuanglan."

Song Zining smiled and said calmly, "I didn't know that my favor was so valuable. But why didn't Mr. Zhao give me his own favor?"

"I already gave her one."

Song Zining said "Ah", obviously not expecting it. He put away his frivolous expression and said seriously: "You know how much trouble she is, and you still dare to give her a favor? Of course, you are different from me. Your reputation Innocent, I don’t have such a good reputation, how dare I get into this trouble?”

Zhao Jundu said: "These two favors were originally owed to her by Qianye."

Song Zining finally changed his expression, "Qianye! What did Li Kuanglan want originally? Why did he send you out to help him fight this?"

Zhao Jundu heard some clues, "Do you know how Qianye owes her a favor?"

Song Zining smiled bitterly and said: "Qianye used her bottle of 'Mirror Water' when he was exploring the underground world of Sleep of Behemoths. I didn't know that Li Kuanglan would ask for favors so seriously. She can see There shouldn’t be much on it, right?”

Zhao Jundu frowned and recounted in a few words how he and Li Kuanglan agreed to exchange favors. Song Zining's expression suddenly became a little subtle and he muttered: "It shouldn't matter if it's just a life and death battle..."

Zhao Jundu interrupted him firmly, "No, Qianye must not have anything to do with her Jingtang Li family."

Song Zining and Zhao Jundu looked at each other for a while, and finally sighed and said, "If that's the case, then I agree."

Zhao Jundu nodded and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Song Zining stopped him, "A favor of mine is always worth some money, right? How about giving it away like this without any benefit at all?"

Zhao Jundu didn't even look back and said, "Young Master Seventh, do you want to talk about money?"

Song Zining said angrily: "Why can't we talk about money? I also have to support my family!"

Zhao Jundu kept walking, pretending not to hear.

Song Zining suddenly chuckled, "It seems that this is the end of Qianye's status as the Zhao clan. Instead of living in hiding, why not... give him back to me."

Zhao Jundu suddenly turned around, his eyes cold.

Song Zining seemed not to notice that the coldness in Zhao Jundu's eyes was filled with murderous intent. He opened the folding fan, shook it twice and closed it again. He said proudly: "My little foundation may not be in the eyes of the Fourth Young Master, but it can be thousands of years old." After all, Ye is half a master, which is better than being a vassal and being controlled by others..."

Before he could finish his words, a fierce wind hit his face, and with a muffled bang, Song Zining was punched in the ribs by Zhao Jundu, and he fell out of the tent.

Zhao Jundu was stunned instead. He knew the power of his punches. He had to go out quickly and close in quickly. He could focus his strength. The hit was painful enough, but it was impossible to send him flying away. Even if Song Zining didn't use the force to defend, he wouldn't be able to do it. Will make such a big splash. He frowned and stepped out of the door.

This little movement is either big or small. Passers-by who happened to pass by in the distance looked at him without stopping. But not far from the tent, there were four or five senior officers from the Zhang clan's private army standing there, and they all knew two of them, Major General Zhao Jundu.

The person who helped Song Zining up was Zhang Muyi, who was saying angrily: "Who dares to take action in the middle army!" He turned around to see the person walking out of the torn tent, and couldn't help but be shocked and stopped in shock.

The handsome young major general next to him reacted faster than Zhang Muyi. Before Zhao Jundu had even stepped out of the camp, he took half a step and stood to cover Song Zining and his companions. When he recognized Zhao Jundu, he was startled, nodded, and greeted: "Brother Jundu."

Zhao Jundu nodded and said in return, "Brother Mu Nian."

The man in front of me is one of the leaders of the younger generation of the Zhang family. Zhang Munian, although he does not have the amazing reputation of Bai Aobu and Zhao Jundu, he is also the mainstay of the family.

Zhang Munian looked back at Song Zining, who looked a little embarrassed, and asked in confusion: "Brother Jundu, is there some misunderstanding with Zining?"

Hearing these words, Zhao Jundu immediately understood that he had been plotted by Song Zining.

Zhang Munian is definitely not a person who knows how to meddle in other people's business, let alone those of the two surnames Zhao and Song. However, at this moment, Zhang Munian said such a sentence, clearly indicating that he wanted to mediate, which showed that Song Zining had some weight in front of him. It seems that the seventh young master not only joined Zhang Boqian as rumored, but also won the approval of the younger generation of the Zhang family. Even Zhao Jundu had to admire Song Zining's ability in human relations.

As for what Song Zining was planning today, it is very clear. During the **** battle of the Iron Curtain, Song Zining's military exploits almost all belonged to the Zhao clan. Although there was a pretense of exchange of interests, people were always uneasy about his position. Now that core disciples like Zhang Munian and Zhang Muyi have seen with their own eyes the disagreement between him and the younger leader of the Zhao clan, they can openly expose the previous connection.

It is an open secret among the upper echelons of the empire that Song Zining broke out from the Song Clan. Such a young and strong man with abilities but no affiliation will probably be valued more highly by the Zhang Clan in the future.

Zhao Jundu thought in his heart that Song Zining's favor was really not easy to get. Even if he was not happy about this opportunity to take advantage of the situation, he could only admire it. Zhao Jundu did not answer Zhang Munian's question immediately, but looked at Song Zining.

Song Zining smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a personal matter, it's no big deal."

Zhang Munian turned to Zhao Jundu and said, "In that case, brother Jundu, can you look down on me and ask Zining to give you a gift?"

Zhao Jundu glanced at Song Zining coldly and said, "That's fine, let's clear up everything today."

Song Zining achieved his goal. Hearing the truth in Zhao Jundu's words, his face showed no flaw and he stood with his eyes lowered. Zhang Munian didn't expect Zhao Jundu to be so talkative today, and his expression became more gentle. The two of them were old acquaintances, so they inevitably exchanged a few words.

At this time, someone hurriedly rushed outside the gate of the Central Military Camp. Zhao Jundu and Song Zining turned their heads and looked at each other at the same time. They recognized Qianye's figure and looked at each other.

Song Zining shrugged resignedly and said, "I'll explain it to him." When he saw Qianye appearing, he knew that Zhao Jundu's so-called exchange of favors must be opposed by Qianye. Since Zhao Jundu was already on his side, he would just be a good person and do it to the end. .

Not to mention how Song Zining reported this matter to Qianye, in the next few days, the imperial army was busy cleaning the battlefield and building temporary defenses to prevent Yongye's army from counterattacking. However, a strong man of Qianye's level had nothing to do for several days, just recuperating and waiting for the battlefield to be cleaned and the casualties counted to confirm military achievements.

What makes Qianye a little confused is that it stands to reason that the empire paid a huge price to capture Yongye Camp, and the defense system should be rebuilt on the original site of the camp in order to hold on. However, in the past few days, all Qianye saw were temporary fortifications. It was obvious that the empire had no intention of staying here for a long time.

However, these are the decision-making scope of Zhang Boqian and other important figures. Even Song Zining, who is in the staff department, has never heard the secret. Although Qianye is puzzled, he will not get to the bottom of it. His top priority now is to practice the Dawn Force as soon as possible in order to maintain the balance of the two attribute Forces in his body.

In the void outside the Evernight Continent, a line of blood was like a rainbow in the sky, quickly crossing half of the continent and falling into an ancient castle on the top of the White Mountain.

This is the deepest part of the Kingdom of Darkness. The castle has a history of thousands of years. At that time, the human race did not even have written records. The long years have left an indelible mark on the outer wall of the castle, but it has not deteriorated. On the contrary, as generations of vampires have continued to build it, it has become more and more magnificent.

The main building of the castle is a large stretch of towering buildings, covering the highest peak of Baishan Mountain. It is connected to four auxiliary buildings distributed on the surrounding peaks through floating archways.

Each archway is thousands of meters long, with a bottomless ravine below. It is completely supported by the many floating giant ships above that remain motionless all year round. From a distance, it looks like a miracle.

There is a passage hundreds of meters long on the upper floor of the main building extending outward, ending in a small square. No matter the passage or the square, there is no support from the floating giant ship, just hanging in the air above the bottomless abyss.

There are dozens of lifelike statues standing around the square, and an aerospace boat is slowly approaching from the edge. This square is actually a docking station for an airship, but it's just floating at an altitude of a thousand meters.
