Monarch of Evernight: Conditions that cannot be negotiated on the 1st, 2nd and 5th Five-Year Plans

bsp;From the foggy area, Zhao Jundu's figure slowly walked out. He squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was not used to Qin Lu's bright sunshine, then exhaled and glanced at the defenders of the fortress.

It didn't matter what he saw. Everyone in the fortress garrison felt tense, as if they were being held by an invisible hand. They felt indescribably uncomfortable, and people immediately fell down on top of the city. An old general looked pale, held his chest, and murmured: "This pressure must be almost the same as that of the King of Heaven!"

Zhao Jundu's murderous intent has restrained somewhat, but his body is still wrapped in thick green and black force, burning like a raging fire. This force flame is extremely domineering, with dozens of meters surrounding it being a dead zone, and no one can approach it.

Zhao Jundu raised his head, looked at the fortress from afar, and said, "There is an injury on your body, you have to use the force to press it."

An old man with white hair and beard on the main building of the fortress said: "It doesn't matter! Lord Jundu is the pillar of the country, so you should take care of your body."

Zhao Jundu nodded without answering, flew into the sky, and disappeared into the sky in an instant, leaving only a thick black and blue trail in the air.

On the main building of the fortress, a middle-aged general looked at the traces in the sky and whispered: "Shuai Zhang, tell me, this Zhao Jundu...has cultivated the dark force?"

The old man snorted and said: "Don't talk nonsense! He practices the method of refining gold with fire and tries to change his destiny against the will of heaven. This has long been known to everyone."

"But look, this fire-refined gold looks like an evil method. Besides, didn't he, Zhao Clan, say that fire-refined gold himself? Also, what he just did "Pai, it doesn't look like you're suppressing the injury, it's obviously a demonstration!"

The old man's eyes trembled imperceptibly, and he said: "If you keep talking like this carelessly, if it reaches Zhao Clan's ears, I won't be able to protect you."

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Aren't I just going to talk about it in front of you?"

In the imperial capital, the gate of Zhao Mansion was closed tightly, and there was silence in the mansion. Suddenly there was a thunder in the air, and the house became dark. The servants were accustomed to it and went about their business.

Zhao Jundu appeared at the door of the study, pushed the door open, and sat down behind the desk. Immediately, the maid who accompanied me brought refreshments and clean robes, and said, "Sir, the medicinal soup is ready. Do you want to take a shower and change clothes first?"

"That's fine. What happened recently?"

"There is a letter from Yong Lu."

Zhao Jundu was already walking towards the bathroom. After hearing this, he immediately stopped and said, "Bring the letter."

I flew away with him and came back with an envelope. Zhao Jundu opened the envelope, and his face became gloomier the more he looked at it. After reading it, he snorted and said, "Prepare your clothes and armor, I have to go to the military headquarters."

My followers did not dare to disobey, and were about to go down to do something. Suddenly a man walked out of the corner of the corridor and said calmly: "What are you doing at the military headquarters?"

This person is none other than Zhao Xuanji, the Duke of Youguo. Zhao Jundu first bowed and said, "Of course I want to go and see who is plotting against our Zhao family since King Changsheng."

Zhao Xuanji frowned, looking at the black energy lingering around Zhao Jundu's body, and said, "Are you practicing the method of refining gold with fire too much?"

Zhao Jundu said: "My mood is a little dry, but I can still control it."

Zhao Xuanji pointed at the lingering black energy and said, "What is this? Our Zhao Clan Cultivation Technique does not have such a thing."

Zhao Jundu said calmly: "The extreme purple gives rise to blue, so what about the extreme green? Any color that reaches the extreme is black."

"Is there dark force in this?"

"Not only the dark force, but also resentment, murderous intent, and the essence of flesh and blood, all mixed together, and then combined with my green energy, it became this."

Zhao Xuanji looked at him deeply and said slowly: "This is not the right path."

"There is no way to go on the right path."

Zhao Jundu made a pun, and Zhao Xuanji sighed and said, "If you look like this, it's better not to go to the military department."

Zhao Jundu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing an inexplicable smile, and said: "I killed too many dark races, so I ended up like this. What? Does anyone dislike it?"

Zhao Xuanji sighed and said: "You come with me, we, the old and the young, haven't had tea for a long time."

"Never."

Zhao Xuanji shook his head and said helplessly: "Everyone in your Duke Cheng'en's house has the same moral character. No wonder Gaoyi always comes to clean up the mess."

Hearing his mother's name, Zhao Jundu's dark energy disappeared and he followed Zhao Xuanji into the tea room. Zhao Xuanji took out a small wooden box, carefully poured out a few pieces of tea leaves, and then boiled the fire to make the tea, extremely focused.

Zhao Jundu remained silent and waited quietly. Looking at the black aura pulsing around his body, one knew that it was not easy to sit quietly like this.

After a while, Zhao Xuanji finally cooked a cup of tea and handed it over. Zhao Jundu took it and drank it down in one gulp. The black energy on his body suddenly melted away like snow meeting the bright sun.

Zhao Jundu bowed deeply and said thank you.

Zhao Xuanji waved his hand and said: "Although you and I are different in generation, our status is the same now. Besides, our Zhao family does not pay attention to vulgar etiquette, so there is no need to be polite."

As soon as the black energy left, blood began to ooze from Zhao Jundu's robe. He looked down, then pressed a ball of force to stop the bleeding, and said, "Actually, these miscellaneous energies are very lethal."

"Small gains and big harm are not worth it." After saying that, Zhao Xuanji looked solemn and said, "You are going to the military headquarters, but are you going to pay taxes for the export of military supplies?"

"What else can there be?"

"This is also a past example. Otherwise, the price of materials soared during the war, and if all the families secretly transported and sold them, what would be the point?"

Zhao Jundu said: "Of course I understand the truth, but except for Yonglu, how can we transport large quantities of materials now? The Imperial Guard Fleet does not go to so many places, and has to stay on the waterway to Yonglu, for this reason What, do you need me to say it?”

Zhao Xuanji remained calm, "But they always make sense."

"There are many ways to reason." Zhao Jundu sneered.

Zhao Xuanji stroked his beard and said: "The truth has been explained."

"Oh, really? How did you say it?"

Zhao Xuan said slowly: "In a few days, an edict will come down to confer you the title of Duke Rongguo."

Zhao Jundu raised his eyebrows and said, "This title ban is a bit surprising!"

The title of Rong Guogong is a great honor. You can see it just from the word Rong. If you compare it with Zhao Weihuang's title, you will understand.

According to convention, those with the title "Gonggong" can basically be hereditary. As long as the family can maintain the territory, even if the military merit is slightly inferior, there is still room for return. Song Zhongnian, the Duke of Wei State, is an example.

If the title Rong Guogong is truly consistent with its name, it means that the Zhao clan will also be one of the four clans from now on, and the basic structure is the same as that of the Zhang clan. The person sent was only Qingyang King Zhang Boqian.

Although Zhao Jundu was promoted to a divine general, his foundation was damaged and he agreed that the road ahead was over. Under such circumstances, the normal approach for the empire is to create a non-hereditary Duke, or to assume the title of marshal as is the case now, and to lead the legions in battle. When they grow old, their descendants can attack the marquis.

This is the normal treatment for a general with no bright future.

Zhao Jundu is so smart. After thinking about it for a moment, he sneered and said, "So this is what I changed! Is that piece of meat from Yong Lu already so fat?"

Zhao Xuanji sighed and said: "It won't work if we don't change it. The great righteousness and ancestral rules have been moved to the other side, and it is tenable in terms of emotion and reason."

"Whose reason? In the new world, Qianye suppressed the entire Mosar werewolves by one person. Isn't this a great contribution?"

"The Mosar werewolf is right next to Qianye. He has to block him even if he doesn't want to. This is not a negotiable condition."

"By doing this, are they not afraid that Qianye will cut off the supply? If it weren't for his endless supply of sap, how could we possibly have assembled an army comparable to that of the dark race, let alone what we are in today!"

Zhao Xuanji sighed: "Assembling the army is one thing, and you and Zining's command of the battle is also another thing. Even I think that you and Zining are more important."

"I..."

Before Zhao Jundu could finish speaking, Zhao Xuanji shook his head, "No matter what they do, you and Zining will fight for the empire. So this is not a negotiable condition."

Zhao Jundu snorted and said coldly: "They are very accurate in calculating people's hearts! But I don't know if they have calculated that after this battle, can they still have a good death?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Xuanji asked.

"Who are they?"

Zhao Xuanji said: "Before the decision was made, the case was sent to Prince Zhiji's palace. After reading it, he said eight words: It is good for the country and the overall situation comes first."

Zhao Jundu was greatly surprised, "Zhiji King? How could this old man..."

Zhao Xuanji said: "Many people now know that Qianye has a special relationship with the old prince. Perhaps because of this, those people sent the case over and let him decide."

Zhao Jundu was silent for a long time and then said: "Do you think it is possible that this matter is what the old prince meant?"

"It is unreasonable for branches to be strong and trunks to be weak." Zhao Xuanji said meaningfully.

Zhao Jundu's aura slowly dropped and he said: "That's the case, then I won't go to the military headquarters."

After that, he stood up, and Zhao Xuanji asked behind him: "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the new world. If we don't take down the demon fortress, I can't bear to swallow it."

Zhao Xuanji did not stop him, but said: "Forget it, I will send someone to Zhiji Prince's Mansion to ventilate it."

After a while, Zhao Jundu changed his clothes and armor, boarded the floating ship, and headed for the gate of the new world.

At this moment, King Zhiji was drinking tea and reading. When he heard the news reported by his personal entourage, he pondered for a moment and said to himself: "This little guy may have guessed something to be so ruthless. . Anyway, I have been idle for a long time, so I just want to meet my old friends."

He stood up, gave a few instructions, then left the palace and drifted away.

A few days later, a piece of news exploded like thunder throughout the empire.

Zhao Jundu and Song Zining marched in, defeated the demon army in one fell swoop, breached the fortress of Macefield, and completely drove this famous demon clan out of the new world. At the same time, in order to save the defeat, the head of the Macefield family made a bold move and was taken over by the King of Judgment.

The first duel between the two top powers in the world broke out in the new world. As a result, the new world aroused a vicious counterattack, and each of them was injured.

Although King Zhiji and the head of the Macefield family had time to decide the winner in the future, this group of demons was expelled from the new world and was completely defeated.

After this battle, Zhao Jundu became famous in the empire again, and his popularity was unprecedented.
