Monarch of Evernight: Twelve prices

bsp;In a courtyard near the peak of Yunshan Mountain, Song Zicheng, the eldest son of the Song Dynasty, was sitting behind a desk, looking at the registration form for the martial arts exam in his hand. Sitting on the right side of the throne is an old man, who is autistic, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Song Zicheng looked at the last line carefully, then raised his head and said with a smile: "I'm bothering you again, Uncle Six, this time. I want to look at this information again and give you a reply tomorrow. In addition, I have prepared some I’ll send someone to your house shortly.”

The elder of the Song Clan waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's such a small thing, what kind of gift should I give you? I've watched you grow up, Zicheng, why should I see you outside. But you can't take this martial arts exam lightly. , the other old guys are also going to take care of it. I heard that Song Zian is very ambitious, and he is determined to knock you out of the top position in one fell swoop."

Song Zicheng's face became a little more solemn, but he did not panic. He said calmly: "I have the upper hand in political discussions, military strategy is only half as good, and as long as martial arts is not too far away, it cannot overturn the overall situation. Uncle Liu also said Please rest assured."

The elder of the tribe stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Zicheng has always been prudent in doing things, so I'm just nagging. Okay, I have to avoid suspicion before the exam and I can't stay with you for too long."

"Sixth uncle, go slowly!" Song Zicheng stood up and personally escorted the elder to the courtyard gate before returning.

Song Zicheng recruited several close confidants and staff and began to study the list of participants for the martial arts exam. The rules of this individual arena competition are elimination systems, and the order of battles has not yet been determined. What they want to discuss now is how to exert a little influence on this order.

Song Zicheng's connections among the elders gave him the ability to fine-tune the order of battles. In other words, in the first one or two rounds, he could choose to avoid a specific person, or let his warriors encounter a certain rookie in advance, so as to Maintain your fighting strength and snipe the powerful opponents behind with all your strength.

It’s just that this adjustment must be acceptable on the surface and cannot be excessive.

At this time, several staff members had read the list. Among the almost all ninth-level warriors, the few eighth-level warriors stood out. The other eighth-level disciples were all disciples of the Song clan who participated in the assessment. As a guest warrior, the only one who was only eighth-level was Qianye.

A staff member pointed to the information and said: "This An Renyi is only level eight, which is just right for our people to face him in the first round."

Another staff member said: "Is this from the Seventh Young Master? That's strange. I heard that the Seventh Young Master has recruited many masters from outside. The three strongest people under his command are known as the Three Tigers of Ningyuan. Only one came this time. Gao Junyi is the boss of the Three Tigers. I have seen that man and he is indeed a good player. Is this level eight An Renyi stronger than the other two tigers?"

Someone else said: "I always feel that something is weird... It seems like someone said that An Renyi is responsible for the gray business under Qi Shao. This kind of person must have special strengths."

Song Zicheng said thoughtfully: "I heard that Lao Er and Xiao Qi had a little friction at the training ground this afternoon?"

The personal attendant who reported this matter to Song Zicheng happened to be in the study at that time. Hearing this, he said: "Yes, that An Renyi was also present at the time. The Seventh Young Master gave him his quota of the heaven-level training room. ”

Several people in the study made sounds of surprise.

Song Zicheng also raised his eyebrows. Conflicts between brothers were nothing new. He only heard a general outline at the time and didn't ask for details at all. Only now did he know that there was such a thing.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out that's the reason. I asked the second brother why he bullied a guest when he had nothing to do. Even for the woman of the Yin family, there is no need to deny Xiao Qi face. It turns out that Xiao Qi values ​​​​that An so much. Renyi, do you want to destroy him? The second person always claims to be straightforward, but he is actually the most thoughtful."

At this moment, a guard hurriedly walked in and whispered in Song Zicheng's ear: "The Seventh Young Master is here and wants to see you."

"Zi Ning? What is he here for?" Song Zicheng was a little surprised.

The relationship between him and Song Zining is not bad, but they are not particularly close. Basically, they don't have much contact. They occasionally cooperate when handling family affairs, but the cooperation is considered pleasant. However, during this sensitive period, Song Zining's visit had many other meanings.

Song Zicheng ordered his guards to take him to the flower hall in the front yard. He reached out and tapped the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "What do you think?"

An aide said hesitantly: "The Seventh Young Master seems to have made a lot of enemies recently, and he has been very unhappy with the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master." If you accept a friend, you will inevitably become his enemy. This aide's intention is obvious It is better to do less than to do more.

The other person sneered: "It sounds like if you don't want to see the seventh young master, the second young master will not want to get the first place in the college entrance examination." Song Zian's thoughts on the position of the first heir are known to everyone. , has always been Song Zicheng's number one enemy.

The staff member argued before: "But the reason why the Second Young Master and the Seventh Young Master were at odds was the Yin family Qiqi, and the Seventh Young Master was not very reasonable in that matter." At this point, the whole room exchanged ambiguous looks, and the staff He added, "Besides, behind Yin Qiqi is Prince Bowang."

After the Tianxuan Spring Hunt, Song Zining's heir ranking dropped two places in a row. The reason why he was punished so severely was not actually Song Zian's fault, but the fact that the Song clan wanted to give Yin Qiqi and Bowang Hou's eldest son Wei Qiyang An explanation.

The person who refuted him laughed even louder, "Yin Qiqi and the second young master are related by marriage, and Yin Qiqi and Prince Bowang are also related by marriage. Even if this hadn't happened, they would not have come to the eldest young master's side. ”

Song Zicheng, who had been listening quietly to everyone's speech, now stretched out his hand to press down, stopped everyone's discussion, and said: "Okay, everyone will discuss the ranking list of the arena competition first, and I will go see the seventh brother. Yin Qiqi and Although Prince Wei has a personal relationship with his second brother, it will not affect the family relationship. As long as I hold this position, it will not be a big problem."

The relationship between the Song clan and the two aristocratic families of Yin and Wei is the position between the two surnamed families, and will not be affected too much by an individual, even if that individual is the head of the family. Otherwise, everyone would not have to fight for the heir at all, just compete with each other's network.

Song Zicheng walked into the flower hall and retreated to the left and right.

Song Zining stood up and said: "Brother, my younger brother realizes that he respects all the brothers and is not disrespectful. But the second brother and the third brother behave like this. They don't even want to leave a place for me to stand!"

Hearing this, Song Zicheng was vaguely sure of Song Zining's intention, so he gently comforted him with a few words, and then listened to Song Zining's statement.

After a moment, Song Zicheng looked solemnly at his seventh brother, who was quite different in age from himself, and said, "Are you saying that you will support me in my inheritance rights and that this big exam can also clear the way for me?"

"Exactly."

Song Zicheng picked up the tea cup, played with it in his hand, and said slowly: "Seventh brother is very confident!"

Song Zining smiled and said: "If I didn't have this ability, how could I dare to come to my eldest brother? Regardless of other things, in this military strategy, as long as I help, even if the second brother and the third brother join forces, it will not be a problem to defeat them. ."

Song Zicheng took a sip of tea slowly to gain time to think. This sip of tea took an extra long time, but he finally finished it. He put down the tea cup and asked casually: "I heard that the third child's caravan suffered heavy losses some time ago?"

"There was a little conflict. Then the third brother was very angry, and he tried to swallow up my people with more and less, but in the end they were all wiped out. From my brother's point of view, the third brother Brother’s people still need to practice hard so that they won’t be embarrassed.”

Neither Song Zicheng nor Song Zining mentioned Song Zian. Both of them knew very well that there was only hostility between Song Zicheng and Song Zian, and there was no possibility of an alliance. But Song Ziqi was different. Now the eldest son of the Song family is actually facing a choice. On the one hand, the third brother has already stepped into the threshold of a warrior, and on the other hand, the seventh brother has just emerged recently.

Song Zicheng lowered his eyes, stared at the steaming tea cup in his hand, and asked: "What does the seventh brother want?"

Song Zining was prepared and said: "The assault floating battleship of Yuancheng Heavy Machinery under my eldest brother is the best in its class. My Ningyuan Heavy Industry has just built several new bases recently, but it is a pity that there are no heavyweight products. I hope that my eldest brother can transfer the technology to me. Besides, my eldest brother doesn’t have many mines in Yongye Continent, and mining and transporting them back to the mainland is quite troublesome. My brother can just use it locally, so why don’t you give me an advantage? ..."

Song Zining came out one by one with conditions, each of which was valuable, including technology, minerals, and even two mature truck production plants.

Every time Song Zicheng heard a condition, his heart would drop. When Song Zining finished speaking, his heart seemed to have not sunk to the bottom yet, but it was not far away from hitting the bottom.

"Seventh brother, your asking price is a bit too high."

Song Zining smiled and said, "Even if you don't talk about the position of the leader, you are the stable first heir, and you are worth more than these things. Besides, younger brother, I am not someone who burns bridges when crossing rivers. I am helping my elder brother reach the top right now. In this big exam, if there are any disputes in family affairs in the future, I will stand on my eldest brother’s side.”

Song Zicheng pondered for a long time, finally made up his mind, stretched out his hand, and shook Song Zining's hand tightly.

When Song Zining was sent out of the flower hall, Song Zicheng's face was already tired, and he smiled bitterly and said: "I have paid enough this time. You guy, you have almost wiped out more than half of my family fortune."

Song Zining smiled and said: "Brother, you are doing big things, why do you care about a little private property? I, the Song family, lack everything except property."

At this moment, Song Zicheng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to a staff member guarding the door: "This ring battle has been rescheduled. Our people must try to avoid the seventh brother's people."

The staff was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "But what about the eighth-level person?"

Song Zicheng waved his hand and said: "Avoid it."

"But, anyway..." The staff just started talking, but the meaning was obvious. An eighth-level warrior came on stage to deliver food anyway, so why not give it to his own people?

Song Zicheng has a temperament for big things, and he doesn't want to care about this small profit. He values ​​Song Zining's feelings more. He frowned and said: "That's it, there is no need to discuss it further."

Song Zining listened and said with a smile: "Brother is wise."

After sending Song Zining away, the eldest son of the Song family didn't know why, but he always felt that his seventh brother's last laugh had no meaning, which made him a little uneasy.

In the "Yunshen Hall" at this time, Qianye asked someone to open the martial arts field in the backyard, and densely packed it with dozens of stainless steel puppets for practice.

This venue is completely enclosed and not very large. After stuffing dozens of dolls into it, it becomes very crowded. It is a bit difficult to swing the sword without touching anything.

Qianye pulled out Dongyue and looked at it carefully.
