Monarch of Evernight: One-to-one response
bsp;Li Fang finally couldn't help but relent, and said bitterly: "Qianye, don't think that you can do whatever you want in a neutral place. Sooner or later, someone will teach you a lesson."
"Really? I'll wait." Qianye replied indifferently. He has heard too many similar threats and no longer cares about them.
Li Fang puffed his sleeves angrily and turned around to leave. He seemed to be in a hurry when he left, but he was no longer as calm and dignified as when he came back.
After he left, Qianye became serious and asked again: "What does this person do? Why is he here?"
Song Zining also said seriously: "This Li Fang still has some real abilities. Although he is a sinecure in the court, he has always studied ways to help the world and has his own opinions on how to establish a complete military and economic system. This person is a member of the Li family, and he has reached his current official position mostly due to his own ability. This time the Li family entered the neutral land, he also moved into a position and wanted to put it to good use here. "
"But looking at the way he looked just now, it didn't look like he was here to do something."
Song Zining smiled and said: "Qianye, you don't understand this. The more junior officials with little authority, the greater their official authority and the more arrogant they are, for fear that others will look down on them. On the contrary, they are powerful officials who are often approachable. , no airs."
"Okay, but what are the Lis doing here?"
"Because Li Kuanglan is here. The Li family nominally sent some guards here, but actually three hundred people came."
Qianye frowned and said, "Three hundred people, that's a lot. Who are these people?"
"They are all elite soldiers of the Li family, and the ones leading the team are two elders. In another two days, there will be people from the palace coming."
"So many people come to the Neutral Ground? Aren't they afraid of the Blood Throne's backlash?" Qianye's question is not unreasonable. As we all know, the Blood Throne is extremely disgusted with Yongye or the Empire's intervention in the Neutral Ground. That one even has A record of many attempts. With Shattered Time in hand and the advantage of a neutral ground, even the kings and kings are at risk of falling.
This time the empire sent nearly a thousand elite troops into the neutral ground, which can be said to have broken the previous rules. If the Blood Throne takes action, these people may not be able to leave the neutral ground alive.
However, Song Zining was not worried and said calmly: "Don't worry, this matter involves Empress Li. Those old men in the imperial capital are very afraid of death. How can they dare to do such a thing if they are not safe? Now that everyone is here , indicating that they have negotiated terms. Even though those old guys have no other skills, they are very good at negotiating terms. ”
"Why the Li family?" When they were in the misty forest, Qianye had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Li family. Later, it was the Zhao clan who worked behind the scenes to get the Tianfeng Yunyan Pearl back.
Song Zining said matter-of-factly: "Because Kuanglan is here, if they don't come, who else will come?"
The imperial political arena has always been complicated, and it is even more so when it comes to the palace. Song Zining refused to say more. Qianye felt a headache just thinking about it, so he simply put the matter aside and first took care of the mysterious demon young man. Things have been said.
As soon as Song Zining heard this, he knew that the matter was serious. He put away his happy expression and said thoughtfully: "So, the devil has produced another genius who is comparable to the witch? No, he should have existed for a long time, but he hid it very well. It's been unknown. If he comes, what are you going to do?
"Enter the wilderness again and choose the opportunity to fight. The demons are severely restricted in the neutral land. No matter how strong they are, they will always have a way to deal with it."
Song Zining nodded, this is the best way to bring out Qianye's combat power. In the wilderness or misty forest of a neutral land, Qianye's combat power can be greatly improved. Even the Marquis would most likely be killed on the spot if Qianye attacked him first.
But then he remembered something, his face changed drastically, and he said anxiously: "Wait! If that demon descendant came with the vanguard..."
Song Zining immediately ordered someone to fetch a route map of a neutral ground, and drew more than ten lines on it. The more he drew, the more ugly his face became. He stepped back and asked Qianye: "Can your Hall of Heroes sail in the void now?"
"Of course it can. It's just that the outer wall hasn't been built yet, so people with weak combat power may not be able to survive on it for a long time. I'm afraid only half of the existing manpower can do the job."
Song Zining raised his eyebrows and said: "I will give you fifteen more people. This is the limit I can distinguish. But half of them are craftsmen. If we really fight, we must protect them."
"Want to fight in outer space?"
Song Zining nodded, pointed to somewhere on the route map, and said solemnly: "The last batch of engines and ballistas from Ningyuan Heavy Industry are already on the way. Although no one knows about this secret route, and Yongye There are several approaching points on the route from the Demon Continent to the Neutral Land. If the Yongye follow-up troops are already on their way to the Neutral Land, they may bump into our transport fleet at this location in three days. There is also a batch of high-performance alloys in this fleet, which cannot be lost.”
Qianye looked at the route map and said slowly: "You mean, I will drive the Hall of Heroes to meet you?"
Song Zining nodded, "This is the only way. Whether it is this transport fleet or your Hall of Heroes, now is not the time to let those in the Li family know about it. After you receive the transport fleet, go directly in the void After docking and unloading, the craftsmen and crew members who came with the fleet were sent directly to the Hall of Valor. These people are all reliable and have been trained by me for many years. ”
After saying that, Song Zining patted Qianye on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I will give you everything I have now. If you want anything more, you will have nothing."
Until now, Qianye didn’t know Song Zining’s true net worth. At such a young age, the Seventh Young Master can already see the shadow of the word "wealthy as a country". With the true strength of Ningyuan Heavy Industries, it can independently support a low-grade family. If Song Zining was given another two or three years to fully understand the new alloy formula, he would be qualified to be the mainstay of a top-grade family by then.
The people in the Song clan have a really keen sense of smell in this regard, and they are trying every means to get control of Ningyuan Heavy Industry. It's a pity that Song Zian was born at the wrong time. He originally had a perfect opportunity, but he happened to meet Qianye, and Qianye turned the situation around with his own efforts. Otherwise, if Song Zian was allowed to take Song Zining away, I'm afraid there's no telling what would happen.
In the short time since Song Zining arrived in the Neutral Land, he has moved most of Ningyuan Heavy Industry's wealth, and most of the accumulated wealth will eventually be invested in Qianye's Hall of Heroes. The Hall of Valor is an extraordinary floating battleship. It is based on the bones of the Earth Strider, and its control mainly relies on the remaining will of the Earth Strider. Now unless Qianye is killed, no one can take away the Hall of Heroes.
Song Zining is indeed not exaggerating. If you invest your assets in the Hall of Heroes, you will never get them back. Even Qianye himself didn't understand why Song Zining was so interested in the Hall of Heroes.
However, Qianye was still worried and couldn't help but ask: "Can you handle it when I leave?"
Song Zining disagreed and said: "Aren't Kuanglan and Tianqing still here? I can't let them go out and take risks, but if the demon comes to knock on the door, it won't be my responsibility."
Qianye is speechless. Now that he thinks about it, he can only rest assured if he leaves early and comes back early. He simply didn't even return to Nan Qingcheng, but returned to the wilderness. He chose a deserted direction and ran for half a day. When he saw that no one was following him, he jumped up and flew high into the sky.
The huge hull of the Hall of Valor loomed in the clouds, gliding silently. Qianye flew directly into the ship from the opening on the side, and then the huge ship seemed to have come to life. It raised its head to the sky, flew higher and higher, and flew straight into the endless void.
There are dozens of crew members in the Hall of Valor, and most of them are busy pushing an engine to a designated location. After the engine was in place, several craftsmen came over and began inspection and debugging one by one.
About one-third of the people in the Hall of Valor are Gaohu people, and most of them are natural mechanical craftsmen. The other one is Song Zining’s confidant sent from Ningyuan Heavy Industry. There were craftsmen among this group of people, as well as ten powerful and experienced warriors. This group of soldiers can serve as efficient laborers in normal times, and at critical moments they are the core force in protecting the facilities on the ship. In fact, they were on guard against the Gaohu people, and Song Zining instinctively distrusted any outsiders.
Qianye entered the ship, and the crew members respectfully greeted him "Sir" and continued to do their own business. The Hall of Valor is too huge. It needs to be equipped with dozens of power sails and more than a hundred engines of various sizes. The amount of work is huge and piled up like a mountain. For these dozens of people, it may take more than ten years to do it. Not finished.
Qianye clapped his hands, raised his voice, and said: "We are about to enter the void. All people below level five will stop working immediately and enter the cabin to rest. Those above level five will be on standby at their respective posts."
These crew members have long had a division of labor. They are craftsmen in normal times. In wartime, some are responsible for optics, some are responsible for ballistas, and others are responsible for controlling engines and power sails. There are so few people now that we can only start two engines and raise a power sail. As for the ballista placed in the mouth of the ground strider's skull, Qianye could only operate it himself.
Qianye gave the order, and the under-strength crew returned to the partially built crew cabin and closed the door firmly.
When they all returned to the cabin, Qianye controlled the Hall of Heroes to jump up, broke out of the protective layer of the East China Sea land mass, and sailed into the vast void.
At this moment, the Hall of Heroes still looks like the skeleton of a giant beast in the void from a distance, but on the skeleton around the heart, body tissue is spreading and growing, sealing the chest cavity. According to Qingyue and Song Zining, these human bodies are the best ship body materials. The tyranny of the Void Behemoth cannot be compared to those of the empire's warships.
However, the growth of these bodies relies on the energy of the ground strider's heart, and the process is very slow, so it needs to be supplemented by artificially constructed hulls. It's just that the Earth Strider's body is so huge that just building the hull is probably equivalent to several motherships.
As soon as it entered the void, the entire body of the Hall of Valor shone with faint light and flew towards the predetermined location.
