Monarch of Evernight: Eight Avenues to Simple

bsp;After bidding farewell to Zhao Junhong, Song Zining and Qianye did not return to the main hall. They did not take a car and walked along the road up the mountain. Standing on the mountainside and looking back, the Lanjiang River under the moonlight is sparkling, like the undulating sleeves of a dancer. The clouds and mountains to the water's edge are dotted with lights, presenting a prosperous scene.

Suddenly, a ray of purple fire flashed continuously in the night, approaching at high speed, and even the air became churning, like ripples caused by tiles hitting the water.

Qianye saw Zi Huo and immediately took a step forward to block Song Zining.

Zhao Jundu landed straight on the ground a few steps away, with a look of ice and snow on his perfect face, and said coldly: "Song Qi is just a mere person, how can he be so virtuous as to make you willing to be driven by him?"

Qianye frowned and said slowly: "Sir Young Master Zhao, I don't know what you misunderstood. If Zining and I want to calculate the gains and losses, starting from the first life, I owe him Yes. And you think I will let others control me?"

Song Zining sighed and couldn't help but say: "I heard that according to the rules of the Zhao clan, men must go to the battlefield after they reach adulthood or become successful in cultivation. Even if Qianye is willing to go back with you in the future, can you let him Is this a life-long struggle to protect him or to harm him?"

Hearing the words, Zhao Jundu stood silently for a moment with his eyes lowered. Then he opened his eyes, stared at Qianye, and said: "It will last for one year. If you don't come, I will look for you. In addition, if one year passes, Years later, you will never see that crystal lock piece again."

Qianye took a deep breath, his fingertips trembled slightly, but he made no sound.

Zhao Jundu didn’t wait for Qianye’s answer. He glanced at Song Zining with a cold gaze and said, “Song Zining, there is something you probably don’t know yet. Zhang Boqian is about to challenge King Dingxuan. In one month, the news will spread throughout the world. Empire."

Song Zining was suddenly shocked and his expression changed suddenly.

King Dingxuan is a bloodline of the imperial family and one of the four heavenly kings of the human race. It is precisely with the four kings sitting in command, confronting the dark kings, and checking and balancing each other that the empire can maintain its overall situation.

Now Zhang Boqian actually intends to challenge King Dingxuan. Regardless of victory or defeat, it will be a major event that shakes up the internal structure of the empire. Regardless of success or failure in this battle, as long as Zhang Boqian shows enough combat power to rival King Dingxuan, he can become the fifth Heavenly King. And once Zhang Boqian ascends to the throne of Heavenly King, even if Duke An Guo and his wife can keep the situation under control, the Song clan will definitely not have an easy life.

This news was earth-shattering. Even Song Zining's city was changed by it. For a moment, his heart went blank and he had no idea at all. By the time he came to his senses, Zhao Jundu was already gone.

"...Let's go." Song Zining greeted, but his voice suddenly became very dry.

So Qianye and Song Zining continued walking up the mountain. After a long time, Song Zining broke the awkward silence.

"Qianye, have you ever thought about the future?"

"If there is only one way, then go forward. If there are several ways, then choose one and go forward."

"How to choose?"

"The one that leads to the result."

"What if you can't tell which one you want?"

"The one closest to your feet."

After finishing this almost nonsense conversation, Song Zining suddenly laughed, "All living beings are complicated, but the road is simple. The road has always been there, but I worry too much." Thinking about it now, in fact, Qianye's life was also There are not many choices, so he, who actually always has choices, can't walk?

"Qianye, you said so, now you have two choices in front of you, pick one!" Song Zining's voice became brisk again. Whenever he talks like this, nothing good will happen to Qianye.

Qianye looked up and found that he had reached the gate of "Yunshen Hall". Two identical beautiful girls were smiling and pushing out the door from the side yard. They stood in the corridor and bowed to them. Crows and crows were growing. Her hair fell down on her chest, revealing a section of delicate skin on the back of her neck that was dazzlingly white.

The two girls are more similar than Ah Qi and Ah Jiu, and they have received special training. Their every smile, every move, and even their voices are surprisingly consistent. They are like the same person, just like they saw each other after being drunk. ghosting.

Qianye felt a little throbbing pain in his forehead. Is this guy really planning to share one with each other?

Song Zining said with a bad smile: "I haven't used Sixteen and Seventeen yet, but the female master of Hidden Spring said that the only difference between them is in the bed."

Qianye suddenly had an unpleasant feeling that danger was approaching. Before he could move to the side, a strong push came from behind and knocked him into a pile of warm-scented nephrite. Seeing Song Zining's gesture, the two girls playfully climbed up Qianye's body and hugged him tightly from front to back.

At this moment, in this situation, Song Zining will never allow Qianye to back down.

After a while, the sounds of the battlefield rang out from both the inside and outside of the main room, separated by a curtain.

Sure enough, although sixteen and seventeen even spoke the same way, their wonderful sounds were significantly different at this time. One is like an oriole in an empty valley, gentle and clear, and occasionally its sound reaches into the clouds. The other one is like silk and bamboo, low and meandering, like the water of a spring river lapping at the shore on a moonlit night, with one wave rising after another.

Just when this melee was still going on, on the thousand-mile territory of Younan Province where the Western Continent rebels were entrenched, a majestic fortress stood in the night, and the Force lights in the command room were as bright as day.

Lin Xitang stood in front of the long table with his hands behind his hands, staring at the sand table, and was deep in thought for a long time.

There is an old-looking wooden box placed in the corner of the long table. The workmanship is quite rough, but the wood is very strong. This is one of Lin Xitang's personal belongings. No matter where he goes, he will put it on his desk. Someone once occasionally caught a glimpse of some damaged nameplates inside, which looked very much like military identification tags. Each one had traces of being burned by gunpowder smoke, and many of them were incomplete.

Lin Xitang's expression suddenly changed, he walked over and opened the long window leading to the terrace, and then he soared into the sky, rising straight into the moonlit blue sky, with his silver hair flying in the night.

In the sky hundreds of meters high, a cloud covering a hundred feet in radius was slowly swirling.

In the center of the clouds, there is a person sitting on the ground, with one leg stretched out and the other bent. The natural posture seems as if the body beneath him is not the void, but the real earth. The man raised his head and took a big sip of wine. A little scarlet wine dripped along the sharp outline of his chin. His posture was extremely unruly, and he suddenly threw the wine bottle.

Lin Xitang stood outside the clouds, stretched out his hand to grab the wine bottle flying towards him, took a big sip without hesitation, and then threw the wine bottle back.

The man laughed lowly, and his deep voice was magnetic, "Vampires don't have any other good things, but they have a long history. Five hundred years of fine wine can only be found in them besides the Imperial Palace. ."

Lin Xitang smiled lightly and said: "Congratulations to Commander Zhang for his further martial arts achievements."

Zhang Boqian stood up slowly. This legendary figure, one of the imperial jewels, is majestic in stature and has a resolute appearance. Every line has the meaning of the steep cliffs and dangerous peaks. What is particularly impressive is his pair of phoenix eyes, which are full of energy and look like heaven and earth. The terrible pressure of collapse.

"You've been in this **** place for two years. Isn't it interesting?"

Lin Xitang's eyes were calm and unwavering, "The war was quite difficult. Fortunately, there was some progress in the Evernight War."

Zhang Boqian laughed mockingly, "How difficult can it be for some ants? Give me a month and I will ensure that there will never be one left."

Lin Xitang narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "This is my war zone. If Commander Zhang has any ideas, please submit them to the Imperial Military Department first and then discuss it."

"Why should Lin Shuai be so secretive? You are staying here just to avoid the mess in Weiyang Palace, the reserve..."

Lin Xitang's still eyes suddenly became turbulent, and she interrupted Zhang Boqian sternly, "Zhang Shuai!"

Zhang Boqian's eyes seemed to be filled with lightning flashes, and the swirling clouds around him suddenly expanded, then slowly calmed down, and he said boringly: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. I'm here this time for you. Give me a big gift."

Lin Xitang was slightly startled.

"The Tiansun Grassland of the Song Dynasty in the Maelstrom produces various rare medicines. Aren't you always in great demand? A month later, go and ask for them. Song Zhongnian will definitely give it to you with both hands, and their guarding force will be there soon. It will not be enough to defend the outside area."

Song Zhongnian is the current leader of the Song Clan, and the maelstrom where Tiansun Caochang is located is not adjacent to the Song Clan's territory, so daily defense requires more troops than the mainland.

Lin Xitang frowned and waited quietly. He knew that since Zhang Boqian said this, there must be something more to it.

Zhang Boqian said: "In one month, I will challenge King Dingxuan."

Lin Xitang was silent for a while and said: "Congratulations to Zhang Shuai for breaking through to the realm of the King of Heaven."

Zhang Boqian acted without any scruples, even treating the majestic court as if he were in a deserted place. As long as he decided something, he would do it to the extreme. Such a temperament has created a tendency for him to sacrifice others for me. Even those who are slightly better than Zhang Boqian in cultivation will often be defeated in a life-and-death battle.

So if Zhang Boqian goes to challenge King Dingxuan, he has a high chance of winning.

Thinking of the Song clan, Lin Xitang sighed in his heart. If Zhang Boqian became the fifth king, the Song clan might really move closer to Zhang Boqian's biggest political enemy.

"Why did your Dayan Tianji Jue stop at the realm where the stars and the moon shine together? Since you were able to deduce the period of Jiazi back then, you should know that my path is the right one."

Lin Xitang smiled lightly and said softly: "Our paths are different. To be able to deduce the secrets of heaven, isn't it just to go against heaven? If not, what is the use of such an ability? To be a puppet of heaven?"

Zhang Boqian was suddenly shocked. He had never thought that this former classmate of Huang Quan, the marshal of the empire who was known as the best in the art of heavenly performance in the empire, would actually take such a path.

"Why?!"

"Since I have gained His Majesty's trust, I must devote myself to the empire until death."

"What is your empire?" Zhang Boqian asked slowly.

He waved his sleeves, and the clouds were suddenly torn into pieces, and then quickly stained with a layer of lead dust like ink. The high sky seemed to be spinning, and a huge gloomy vortex was taking shape, pulling Lin Xitang together. Got involved.

Lin Xitang opened his hands, and the dark clouds suddenly brightened for a moment, and the stars flickered, as if an asteroid belt was shuttled down from the top of the world in an instant.

There are stars falling like rain. In the huge whirlpool, Lin Xitang stands upright, as sharp as an unsheathed sword, even if it is broken, it will not bend a little.

Zhang Boqian suddenly took a deep breath, waved his hand, and suddenly the clouds opened and the moon appeared, and the world returned to its original tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened.

His phoenix eyes were full of flying unruly, "I'm waiting to see your way of empire!" He turned around and drifted away in the void.

Lin Xitang watched his figure go away, her clear eyes reflecting the nebula in the sky and earth, everything in the world, but no true intention.
