Monarch of Evernight: The fifty-two cauldrons are under fire

bsp;Wei Potian said slowly: "Thank you for your admiration these days. In fact, in terms of family background and appearance, you are more than worthy of me, and I am not a completely ignorant person. But according to the laws of the empire, even if I am For a noble man, there is only one official wife and two ordinary wives around him, and there cannot be more."

The smiles of the three ladies were a little forced. How could they not know? In fact, being an ordinary wife is extremely wronging for them. But in the current situation, how can we not fight?

Girls from high-ranking families come to be rich and live a glorious life, and they also have corresponding responsibilities. Marriage is one of them. It is a task given to them by the family. Take the marriage contract of Bowang Hou Shizi as an example. If you win it, you will enter a new life with new rights and obligations. From then on, the world will be brighter. If you fail to win, you will have to start over.

The idea of ​​two people being in love, willing to commit themselves to a poor family regardless of their birth status, is a plot that only appears in storybooks and operas. Even if they don't do it for themselves, they still have to fight for their family and their future children.

Even if you really meet someone you love so much that you risk everything and are willing to give up everything, you can't just settle for poverty. The high-ranking family will never tolerate such behavior that challenges the patriarchal clan and corrupts the family tradition. Not only will the young ladies be imprisoned in the secluded courtyard, but those poor boys who dare to have secret affairs with them will be held accountable and even hunted down.

This is the price of being born with everything. Rights and obligations are always equal. If you want to break out of this shackles, there is only one way, and that is to be strong enough to break free from the shackles of your origin.

Just when the three ladies were worried, Wei Potian suddenly stopped talking and brought up another topic, "Ah, by the way, I forgot one thing. It's time for Zining to officially start a family. It’s time.”

"Song Qi? Didn't he have a marriage contract with a noble family?" Nangong Ling asked strangely. These high-ranking ladies did not know the conflict behind Wei Potian and Song Zining. Seeing that the two were close to Qianye respectively, they thought that the relationship between the three of them was good.

Wei Potian waved his hand and said casually: "How can that noble woman sit in the seat of Mrs. Song Qi? Sooner or later, she will be dismissed. You may not know that Zi Ning became a blockbuster in the recent ten-year examination of the Song Dynasty. , the ranking of the successor jumped to second place, but don’t forget, he is nine years younger than Song Zicheng, hehe, the future leader is still unknown!”

After the Song clan's major exam ended, they did not publicize the results to the outside world. Although it was not difficult for interested people to get the news, it was indeed the first time for the three noble ladies present to hear the news.

Song Zining's gentry marriage contract is a big problem, but it is not completely impossible to solve. Moreover, even if they themselves are not suitable, they still have biological sisters, close friends in the boudoir, and if they become in-laws, they will all be helpful.

The three noble ladies and their female companions couldn't help but feel agitated in their hearts. On the surface, they remained calm. They only flickered their eyes and quietly revealed a little bit of their thoughts.

With Song Zining's momentum, he is already a popular choice as the successor to the Song clan. Even if he cannot take the position of clan leader, as long as he can live a stable life, he will at least be a great elder. Given time, Song Zining should be able to get a marquis title. If he is lucky enough, or has outstanding martial arts skills and conquers a territory, this title may be hereditary for several generations.

Such a future, even if it is not as secure as Prince Bowang, is still rare among the younger generation of the empire. The three ladies were counting the suitable girls around them one by one, but they couldn't help but secretly have some secret thoughts in their hearts. What if it was them? And how will the family react?

When a group of women get together, don't expect to be able to keep any secrets. Before nightfall, all the noble ladies knew about Song Zining's current situation and value.

On Song Zining's side, he suddenly received many invitations, most of which were direct invitations from his direct descendants, making it difficult to refuse. One or two would be enough, but when the number of invitations exceeded five, Song Zining knew something was wrong.

Wei Potian took Qianye and hid in the war room and laughed happily. The firepower around him was suddenly taken away by less than half, making it much quieter. But Song Zining was held back. He and these young ladies had no chance of participating in Qianye's Western Expedition.

These noble ladies from aristocratic families all have high status, and even the clan girls who come with them are also of high status. Once they sleep in their bed, they must marry them home. Thinking of Song Qi, a pervert who was surrounded by beauties, but could only look at them but not eat them, Wei Potian laughed particularly happily.

Qianye didn't know what happened yet, but he just felt that he often smiled inexplicably tonight, which was very unusual.

When Wei Potian came to Qianye just now, he brought a general with him. He said that he could not go, but he was not worried about Qianye, so he wanted his accompanying guest to join the Western Expedition.

Qianye did not agree on the spot. With one more general, the strength of the team will of course be greatly increased. However, such a general who is regarded as a guest by a family is not so easy to use, and he may not be able to fully obey orders on the battlefield. Besides, that person's original duty was to protect Wei Potian, so how could he suddenly agree to leave the prince's side?

But Qianye soon understood the reason.

The door of the war room was suddenly pushed open. After Song Zining came in, without saying a word, the force gathered a bunch of leaf-shaped thin blades with extremely sharp edges, and swung them all towards Wei Potian. Wei Potian was obviously well prepared, and in an instant he lifted Qianzhong Mountain and blocked all attacks.

The guest general of the Wei family not only did not intervene to stop him, but instead stepped aside with an embarrassed look on his face. Then, with Wei Potian's excited wave, he said goodbye to Qianye and hurriedly left the war room.

Then there was a melee.

Qianye didn’t know the cause and effect until the two of them were tired of fighting. It turns out that Wei Potian made Song Zining unable to join the army. In order to make up for the loss of combat power, he gave his guest to Qianye. I don't know how many benefits Prince Wei secretly promised to the general to agree to fight and keep it secret.

Qianye was so angry that he didn’t even want to have **** with these two guys who were holding each other back. When the eldest daughter of Duke Youguo learned about this, she was very happy. She felt that the chance to settle the world in a battle had come, and she patted her chest. Bao Dalaan: "Don't worry, I'm going to take action, one can stand up to two!"

Qianye's face turned even darker. To say it was unreliable, Miss Yuying was indeed the best. If she really goes to the battlefield, this beauty will definitely not listen to his orders.

On the eve of the Western Expedition, Qianye finally made up his mind that if there was a major event in the future, these three guys would only be allowed to stand in their way, and they would never be allowed to get together.

The scheduled time soon arrived, and a mechanical battalion of Dark Fire set off first, and the Western Expedition began.

Qianye and Zhao Yuying were sitting in the command car, heading out of the city with the large troops, while Wei Potian and Song Zining were dealing with various noble ladies, but their moods were in the same heaven and the other underground.

Song Zining seemed to be quite stimulated by how easily the wild boar treated him in his own way. He used up half a month's worth of rice paper in just two days, writing and painting freely and diligently repairing them. Practice hard. The night before Qianye's departure, he said that he had already glimpsed the meaning of "Deep Twilight" and was about to break through to the sixth intermediate level of "Three Thousand Floating Leaves Art".

When Wei Potian was in a good mood, he felt the swirling Qi of the Force for the first time while practicing boxing. However, the two of them reached the same destination through different paths, and both made progress in their martial arts.

In the command car, Zhao Yuying sat opposite Qianye, peeling fruit with a saber and said casually: "Looks like I still have to deal with that **** earl, but it's not cheap! Let's see. Look at this."

She stretched out her foot and kicked a small black box next to her. The lid of the box automatically popped open, revealing a solid silver bullet the size of a palm and as thick as a fist. The patterns of the Force array on the projectile body are all straight and full of chilling atmosphere.

Qianye was surprised and asked: "What is this?"

Zhao Yuying took a bite of the fruit and said, "A cannonball specially designed for mountaineering, one shot can kill the lowest Dark Earl like a Stuka. Of course, its price matches its power. Yes. With it in hand, we don't have to worry about that old count. But I will be compensated afterwards. After this war is over, I want 20% of the loot. Let me choose first."

"What do you want?"

"Slaves, prisoners of war and civilians are all acceptable, but old people are not required. Demons are the best, werewolves are barely useful, and spider demons are useless."

Qianye frowned and said, "Are you still in the slave business?"

"It's not a slave business, but it's worse than that! It has nothing to do with you, and you'd better not ask. Besides, this can't be considered my business, it's just a favor for a friend."

Qianye pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but I estimate that not many prisoners of war will be captured in this war."

"Civilians are the same." Zhao Yuying said, her casual attitude making people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts.

Qianye was silent for a moment and said: "I am very curious about your past."

For a noble daughter of a hereditary prince to become what she is today, it is certainly not just her tutoring that has gone astray. It may have been a very unpleasant experience.

Zhao Yuying looked at Qianye and said with a smile: "As a child, don't imitate adults and ask questions. You will naturally know when you grow up."

Qianye laughed dumbly. This eldest lady was not even a few years older than him, but she always liked to be old-fashioned. But then again, seeing such a beautiful woman calling herself my mother in such a vicious manner is a bit strange.

This reminded Qianye of Song Zining’s words, “As long as you look good enough, you will look good in anything you do.”

However, Qianye did not intend to let Zhao Yuying take the initiative. This not only involved the distribution of spoils, but also the control of command before the battle. A strong man who doesn't obey orders at all can sometimes cause a lot of trouble.

Qianye took out a small box from his pocket, opened it, revealing three Force bombs inside, and said, "Actually, if Stuka really comes, I won't let him have an easy time."

Zhao Yuying immediately recognized the small marks on the warheads of the three force bombs, and her face changed slightly, "The Song Clan's specially made Silver Refined Sun Bomb?"

"That's right." Qianye closed the lid with a snap.

"This requires at least a level six gun to exert its minimum power, but I don't seem to see you have a level six gun."

"Don't worry, I don't have the habit of wasting."

The two fell silent and practiced quietly. In the current war, it is always good to accumulate a little more.

Zhao Yuying's body is surging with purple-black force, and the aura it exudes is somewhat similar to the purple energy of the West. However, compared with Zhao Jundu's majestic and bright purple energy, which is as bright as heavenly fire, it is much more murderous and bloody. meaning.

Qianye was silently running the Xuan Pian, digesting the essence and blood stored in his body. During the last reconnaissance, he had absorbed enough blood and essence. After returning, he had been busy with various affairs and had not yet practiced and digested it properly.

After the end of the Great Week, a mass of dark force dispersed and was swallowed up by the blood in the body. This time, perhaps because he had real vision, Qianye saw that the dark gold blood had swallowed up nearly half of the dark force, and then the golden light wings seemed to be slightly fuller.

The purple blood swallowed up slightly less dark force. After a moment, many tiny purple rays of light overflowed from the blood and flowed throughout the body along with the blood. Wherever these microscopic lights go, no matter the organs or bones, flesh and blood, there is a slight itching feeling. New power seems to flow out from every drop of blood, making the body stronger.

This is the process of strengthening and transforming the body with purple blood. In contrast, today's dark gold blood seems to be cultivating the original wings with all its strength.

Qianye slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a wisp of black air, and shot a small hole in the car wall.

Zhao Yuying was still closing her eyes to rest, when she suddenly said: "I'm really curious about what kind of skills you practice."

ps: Thanks to the new leader and old friend, the other side of the other side.
