Monarch of Evernight: Nine cooperates again

bsp;"The Imperial Ministry?" Song Zining thought thoughtfully, and then said: "Please ask them to wait in the living room, I will be there soon."

In the living room, Fang Zhan was sitting upright, with two attendants beside him. But as soon as Song Zining entered the door, his eyes stopped on one of them, paused, and said hello: "General Lan, why do you change your clothes like this?"

Lan Xincheng turned to the other party and said with a smile: "What, I just said that I can't hide it from Qi Shao? You still don't believe it."

Fang Zhan was still a little unconvinced and said: "He has never seen you before, how can he recognize you at a glance?"

Song Zining did not show off, and said with a smile: "There is a method in Tianjishu, which is similar to Force Insight. General Lan did not deliberately disguise it. In this way, with a sixteenth-level Force cultivation, there is still a fragment in the Force. Isn’t the sharp edge his signature?”

Fang Zhan gave a thumbs up and said: "I'm sorry, the Seventh Young Master really has extraordinary eyesight! If the general doesn't use the force, we can't even see the general's cultivation."

"A little trick is nothing. In addition, Song is no longer a member of the Song clan, and the ranking of the Seventh Young Master is no longer used. You two can just call me Zi Ning."

"Mr. Zining, Lan will not beat around the bush. Lan is here firstly to exchange the remaining resources in the hands of General Qianye. Secondly, to report a piece of news and see if Mr. Zining can help."

Song Zining said: "But it doesn't hurt to talk."

"Lan brought a truly cutting-edge floating battleship this time, which was what we agreed with General Qianye last time."

Song Zining was quite surprised, "You really got that thing? As far as I know, there are only three battleships of this type in the Empire, right?"

“There are still six ships in the shipyard, so there will be no shortage in the future. It’s just that right now, it’s a bit difficult to deal with one less ship.”

Song Zining opened the folding fan, shook it a few times, and said: "It's difficult to do without one, but I still took out one. It seems that someone wants the thing in Qianye's hand very much!"

"That's right. So the empire is very sincere this time, and I would like to ask Mr. Zining to put in a few kind words to facilitate this matter."

"Put this aside for now. What is the news you just said?"

Lan Xincheng waved another attendant out, lowered his voice and said: "The empire is preparing to use troops against Fulu in the near future!"

"Fu Lu? Isn't it still frozen there?" Song Zining frowned. Back then, he personally participated in the Battle of Floating Land and experienced a complete process from almost occupation to complete defeat.

The performance of various noble families in the war was different, but the turning point that was recognized was the night Qianye betrayed the empire.

On that sad night, despite the irrefutable proof that Qianye was a vampire, the military seemed to have done nothing wrong. But no one knew before that Qianye was a vampire. On the battlefield, everyone saw him go through life and death.

In recent years, the Empire and the Eternal Night Council have launched several local wars. On that melting pot-like battlefield, Qianye, Zhao Jundu, Song Zining and others have gradually become individuals who can stand alone. Among the younger generation, Qianye is regarded as one of the most promising candidates to break through to the realm of Heavenly King.

Privately, there has been such talk for a long time, that is, if the military department had not been so troubled, perhaps Qianye's identity as a vampire would not have been exposed until he grew old. In that case, what does it matter if Qianye is a vampire or a human?

In addition to the direct impact, Li Fengshui's method of revealing the matter also had a great impact on various powerful families. There is only one reason: the military department's hand has been stretched too far.

The Zhao clan has already made it very clear on the surface that Qianye enjoys the treatment of a direct descendant of the core Zhao family in Yanyun. The person who endorses this is not only Zhao Jundu, who has expressed his stance several times to defend it at all costs, but Zhao Jundu. Duke Youguo and Duke Chengen are the ones who really have the right to speak. After Qianye killed Li Fengshui and fled, the Zhao family's deviation was so obvious that instead of having any objections, all the powerful families expressed their dissatisfaction with the military department.

Secretly investigating geniuses like Qianye, who are the core direct descendants of the family, can be said to have touched the bottom line of the family. If Zhao clan Qianye can be investigated, which other aristocratic family can be spared? Besides, the tactics of the military department are really not good. They actually kidnapped people close to Qianye. With this approach, how could everyone not be in danger? Qianye has a bloodline problem, what if it were someone else? What “evidence” will be found?

The hearing of Zhao Jundu by the military department was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Regardless of his personal combat power, development potential and status in the Zhao clan, just because he was one of the only two legitimate daughters of the late emperor Gaoyi The youngest son of the princess, looking at the various clans, families and independent princes, there are several people who are more noble than him. Even the military headquarters dared to take action against him. Are there any people who dare not take action?

Heirs are the foundation of a clan. Once this incident came out, even those aristocratic families who secretly flirted with the military couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs.

So in the short period of time when the military took over Zhao Jundu's front, the performance of the family's private army plummeted. The Zhao clan was even more demoralized and unable to retreat. The various aristocratic families, intentionally or unintentionally, cut off support and rescue for the legions directly under the military headquarters, and started to make plans to clear the door.

The empire was already weak and could not withstand fighting on its own. The war situation collapsed immediately, and they were beaten to the core defense line of the Zhao clan, only to be resisted by Zhao Jundu and his army who hurriedly came back to clean up the mess.

The ground battle is unfavorable, and the air battle situation is even more critical. When each family encountered a stronger attack, their private warships retreated one after another. In the end, the Imperial Guard Fleet could only hold the front. The private army can retreat, but the imperial army cannot.

After several fierce battles, the Imperial Guard fleet, which received little cooperation, suffered heavy losses. Although Yongye's side suffered greater battle losses, the fleets of the dark race were endless, while the imperial guard fleet was isolated and helpless. After destroying nearly one-third of the battleships, the Imperial Guard fleet finally couldn't hold on anymore and retreated to the sky above the Unfallen City, giving up the entire floating land airspace.

The disastrous defeat in outer space made the entire imperial family furious, and the emperor was even more furious.

But the emperor was furious, and the imperial family was helpless about this situation. The military crossed the line first, but the reason for those small actions at the beginning was actually a conspiracy to reduce the vassal, not to mention the evidence of Qianye's crime was solid. On the other hand, the imperial family does not have direct command over the private armies of the aristocratic families. This is not the first time that each family protects itself. Passively avoiding war and weakening the imperial family's forbidden army are also traditional means for each family to express dissatisfaction.

In the past, to a certain extent, there would be kings or marshal-level figures who would come forward to clean up the situation. However, this time the spark was caused by the Zhao family twins, and even the marshal might not be able to hold back. However, King Zhiji and King Qingyang remained silent, and Lin Xitang was rumored to be suffering from recurring injuries. It is now unknown whether he is in Beifu or in the Imperial Capital. The other marshals did not have Lin Xitang's skill, and no one wanted to bring trouble on themselves.

After all, this has turned into a confusing mess. In the end, the emperor had nowhere to vent his anger and had no choice but to remove the commander of the Praetorian Fleet from his post. However, there are only a few people in the empire who are good at air combat. Duke Li, who commands the Imperial Guard Fleet, is already recognized as one of the best commanders in the two camps. No matter who he replaces, he will not be able to fight better than Duke Li.

Song Zining seemed to have no solution to this situation, so he left the floating land battlefield and went to a neutral place to look for Qianye.

Now that Lan Xincheng said that the empire would use troops against Fulu again, Song Zining's first thought was that it was impossible. But with Lan Xincheng's status and personality, he would not talk nonsense, so Song Zining sat down and thought he might as well listen.

Just as Lan Xincheng was about to speak, there was a knock on the door, and the attendant outside the door said: "Master Qianye is back."

Song Zining stood up and said: "Please come over, Lord Qianye."

Then he said to Lan Xincheng: "Do you mind if Qianye listens together?"

Lan Xincheng said hurriedly: "How could it be? This matter originally required Lord Qianye's help."

After a moment, Qianye pushed the door open and saw the two people in the room. He was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "You guys came too late."

Lan Xincheng and Fang Zhan stood up to greet them. They first explained the intention of the transaction, and then said: "The empire wants to use troops against Fulu, so please help us."

Qianye and Song Zining looked at each other and said, "This matter is a bit difficult to handle. To be honest, I just uprooted the general's stronghold and Anzi in Tingchao City. In this case, Can we still cooperate? ”

Lan Xincheng did not get angry but smiled and said: "They are two different things. The location of the military headquarters in a neutral place is all due to the forces of the Right Prime Minister and his group. General Qianye eradicated them. I think some adults will not blame them. On the contrary, I will be secretly happy. Even the old prince will just ignore it. After all, you are the one who helped him in the most critical way."

"So, I did the right thing?" Qianye said with a hint of sarcasm.

Lan Xincheng was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Of course, under the current situation, the timing is just right. You and the Right Prime Minister have a deep grudge. If you are not killed, I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress the people below. But since it’s a trap, we can’t do it openly, and we can’t do it during a big event. Who dares to do it to you?”

Qianye raised his eyebrows, and next to him, Song Zining's face turned into a half-smile.

It was obviously meaningless to continue talking to Lan Xincheng. After Qianye sat down, he extended his hand to the two of them and gave up his seat, saying: "Let me tell you what is going on first."

"The empire hopes that you and Lord Zining can lead the fleet to attack, defeat the defense line on one side of the Yongye Fleet, detour to the floating land, cooperate with the frontal attack army to attack Huanglong, and drive the dark race out of the floating land in one fell swoop!"

While talking, Lan Xincheng took out a plan and handed it over. The seal of the document bag is an extremely delicate mechanism design, with each gear as thin as a hair.

Song Zining is very familiar with this kind of design. This encryption method is more reliable than ordinary rock core jade books. The mechanical device is also a special seal. The unique material and high technical requirements prevent forgery. The mechanical device is disposable and once locked, , it can no longer be opened and can only be cracked violently, which also prevents strong people from reading the content with super-limited force. Used to deliver written documents, there is almost no possibility of being stolen halfway.

Song Zining stretched out his hand to unscrew the mechanical lock, pulled out the document inside, and read it carefully.

This was a carefully drawn up battle plan, interconnected, exquisite and majestic at the same time. Song Zining couldn't help but hold his breath when he saw it.

Qianye also knew a little about military strategy. Looking at it from the side, he also felt that the arrows representing the assault routes on the map had become heavy and heavy, making him breathless.

Song Zining read it several times and said, "Everyone's handiwork!"

Lan Xincheng said: "It is rare to receive a compliment from Mr. Zining."

Song Zining said sternly: "General Lan is wrong. This is not a compliment, but an admiration! The level of the person who can draw up this plan is definitely higher than mine. Even if it takes ten years, I will not I dare say that if you look at the empire, you can reach the level that this person is today."

Lan Xincheng was slightly surprised and praised: "Mr. Zining really has good eyesight! To be honest, this plan came from Lin Xitang and Lin Shuai."

"Shuai Lin?!" Song Zining and Qianye's expressions changed slightly. The weight of this plan was different from before.

Song Zining and Qianye read the entire plan again. To be honest, when they looked at it before, they had a common thought, that is, although the plan was good, it also required extremely high execution capabilities. Not to mention Song Zining, even Qianye found that several key points were extremely risky and required careful adjustment and negotiation before implementation. But if this plan comes from Lin Xitang, it means that there must be another arrangement or back-up plan.

Even so, Song Zining still looked solemn. There is a specially marked thin red line on the plan. First there is a battle in outer space, then it bypasses the battlefield and goes straight to the base camp of the dark race on the other side of the floating continent. This red line is the march route of Qianye and Song Zining.

Song Zining suddenly raised his head and asked: "How is Marshal Lin's situation now?"
