Monarch of Evernight: Returning at forty-five
bsp;Qianye was silent for a longer time this time.
The report sent by Qianye was followed by a letter to Qiqi, requesting the termination of this commissioned task. Before, he had always thought that this was a game in which a young lady from an aristocratic family was dissatisfied with her marriage and was fighting against her elders. Since the reward is so generous, he doesn't care about being used as a target. Which mission among hunters is without danger?
However, Qianye never thought that the game of aristocratic families could use the entire independent team of the regular army as pawns. If Er Ye and Yu Yingnan hadn't acted as guarantors when he accepted the mission, perhaps Qianye would never have returned to this camp again. He even thought that he might never know who the culprit was, whether it was one person or a group of people.
Qianye doesn't like this kind of game, this kind of game that can use an entire reinforced company of real men as cannon fodder.
But the news Ji Yuanjia brought was completely unexpected by Qianye. Of course he knew the consequences of forcibly recruiting troops and suffering heavy losses. Qiqi should also know it very well, so why did she do this?
Qianye came back from his thoughts and looked at Ji Yuanjia. The latter showed no sign of impatience. The small half-foot sword as bright as autumn water kept circling in his palm, like a light wheel of time.
"When are you leaving?" Qianye asked.
"If you have nothing else to do, pack your things and follow me now!"
That meant setting off overnight. Qianye had no objection. The two of them walked through the school grounds one after the other and headed towards the lit barracks.
At the edge of the school grounds, Qianye paused for a moment. Standing in the open space were more than a dozen large, unfamiliar-looking men. They were all solidly built and had a steady gait. They looked like masters at first glance. These people are not like army soldiers. Just look at the various and unique equipment they wear, they are more like mercenaries.
Qianye suddenly asked: "What will happen if I don't agree to go back with you?"
Ji Yuanjia just smiled.
Qianye took a deep breath and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Lieutenant Colonel Ji, I can't see that you are really perfect." At this moment, he finally understood why Ji Yuanjia wanted to fight him as soon as he came in. Half of Qianye's combat power lies in long-range sniping. If he brought a gun with him, it would undoubtedly become very troublesome. Although Ji Yuanjia can currently suppress him in close combat, with the addition of long-range combat, I'm afraid he won't be able to easily keep him.
Ji Yuanjia smiled gently and remained unmoved, "I just hope to do everything well for Miss Qiqi."
Qianye didn't want to say anything else, so he opened the door to his room. He didn't have many things to pack. Soon after, the group left as quietly as they came.
In Fanyang City, an important town in Qinlu, a land beast galloped through a deserted long street and stopped in front of the gate of a magnificent mansion. This mansion was built entirely in accordance with the ancient style, with red walls, green tiles, and red eaves with flying animals. There is an eye-catching horizontal plaque above the door, with the two characters "Yin Mansion" written on it, and it is clearly signed by the former emperor.
Immediately the knight entered the house through the corner door and handed the entire package of express mail to the steward. A moment later, an urgent letter was placed in the study.
A middle-aged man, accompanied by an old man, was walking slowly along the corridor.
Middle-aged people have a square and upright face, and are not angry or powerful. He stroked the short beard under his chin and said slowly: "Mr. Shuiyun, Qiqi's child is indeed very talented, but she is really lacking in character and behavior. How can people be reassured? The heir examination is such an important matter, But she just treats it as a child's play. The other three's scores are very tight. Look at her again. "
The old man smiled and said: "The third lady just loves to play around. As a young person, it's not a big deal. Since the young lady has been on her own, has anything failed to be done in the end? This time, I think she is confident. , so don’t rush for a moment. Only by doing it lightly can you become a general!”
The middle-aged man snorted and said: "General style? I think she is just messing around. Look at Yin Xu in Yi'an Hall, he is almost 500 points!"
The old man who was called Mr. Shuiyun didn't care: "Five hundred points? It's just more than 10,000 cannon fodder. If it were a fifth- and sixth-level warrior, it would be no more than 100. With this kind of record, a big battle would not be enough. That’s it.”
"They are just a bunch of kids, how can there be a war!"
Mr. Shuiyun sighed: "Tian Xing, don't underestimate the children today. The third young lady chose Yongye Continent, and she obviously had a plan for a long time. It is a chaotic place! Besides, the old man Who else can this Moonlight Flowing Cloud Technique be passed on to, besides Qiqi?"
Yin Tianxing snorted and said, "The position of head of the family cannot be secured by relying on the Force alone!"
Shuiyun caressed his beard and said with a smile: "If you don't have deep force, it might be difficult to convince the public, right?"
The two walked while chatting and entered the study in a blink of an eye.
Yin Tianxing saw the newspaper on the table, opened it and let out a sigh.
He read it twice more before handing it to Mr. Shuiyun and said, "This is really strange!"
Mr. Shuiyun looked at it and was also full of surprise, "In just one month, the third lady has passed the martial arts rankings? It's really unbelievable. Let me see again... Well, there are only ten days before and after a thousand points. It all comes from a division-level battle. The defense point of Tu Castle is close to 500 points. It must be a **** battle! With such a record, only one battalion of the expeditionary force and one reinforced company of the 17th Army were lost? Have you verified the numbers? ”
Yin Tianxing chuckled and said, "This is the casualty statistics within the dark race. How could it be inaccurate?"
Mr. Shuiyun stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "The combat capabilities of the garrison camps of the expeditionary force are countless. The reinforced company under Third Miss is really not simple. It seems that we have recruited talents again this time." He continued. Looking at it, he said with a slight surprise: "The special intelligence score here is more than 100 points? The third lady actually met the princess guard of the Monroe clan! Are there traces of the top of the peaks in the war zone? It's really dangerous, 60 The temporary transfer of the division..."
Yin Tianxing could not hide his lust, "The general of the empire did not walk on the tip of a knife. This is a good thing. Qiqi has experienced it! The 60th Division is nothing, since it has achieved such a record , What else do those people in the military have to say?”
Mr. Shuiyun nodded, and then said with a hint of worry: "Yongye Continent has always been uneasy. This time the situation in Xichang City seems to be a bit chaotic. Since the third lady has scored a thousand points and is the first to complete the martial arts list, Should she be called back?"
"The Xuantian Spring Hunt will start soon, and Qiqi will go there soon."
Mr. Shuiyun thought of something again, "Brother Tianxing, look at Qiqi's engagement..."
"This won't work!" Yin Tianxing's smile faded, and he immediately refused, "My Yin family has been inherited for thousands of years and is co-established with the empire. How can the marriage contract be trivial! Since it was decided to be Qiqi back then, it cannot be changed."
He softened slightly and added: "Besides, the current structure of Jing'an Hall is quite good. Although Old Seventeen is in charge of the military power, there will always be a day when he retires. If Qiqi Yuehua Liuyun Jue can be mastered, he may be able to serve as a master. She is a general, but her temperament is not good at marching and setting up formations. Li Yu is good at strategy and knows no tricks, so she is the best person to assist Qiqi."
Mr. Shuiyun said: "The superior does not need to do everything personally. Just look at the fact that Miss Third's one battle this time is equivalent to the martial arts that other people have achieved after half a year of hard work. It can be seen that she can recognize and employ people. In my opinion, her achievements will not stop at Jing’an Hall.”
Yin Tianxing waved his hand and said: "Even if Qiqi can really become the head of the family in the future, there will be no hindrance. Liyu is not a bad kid. As long as we support his family, are we afraid that he will not do his best for the Yin family?"
Mr. Shuiyun said slowly: "I have heard some different reviews."
Yin Tianxing raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me and listen."
The airship landed outside the Yin Family Courtyard, when the twilight was at its deepest.
Qianye looked at the endless pavilions and pavilions under his feet, covered with sparse flowers and trees, but in front of his eyes appeared the narrow alleys of the earthen castle, with black smoke and collapsed houses. The two scenes overlapped, making him feel like he was in another world.
As soon as we got off the airship, someone came over and whispered a few words to Ji Yuanjia.
Ji Yuanjia turned to Qianye and said: "Miss is in the back garden, I will take you directly there."
Qianye is looking around. He has noticed that the guards in other courtyards have been strengthened. At the corners of passages and other places, he will often see heavily armed men passing by. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, "At this time?"
Ji Yuanjia gave a wry smile and said, "Miss, I have been like this for the past two days, and I couldn't sleep until late at night."
"Is she seriously injured?"
Ji Yuanjia shook his head and said, "You will know it when you meet Miss."
Qianye followed Ji Yuanjia in a hurry and passed through a turning pavilion. Qianye had never been to this area of the courtyard. The surrounding buildings were gradually becoming sparse, the vegetation was becoming more lush, and the paths were twisting and turning. If it were during the day, the scenery would be very beautiful, but at night it seemed a bit lonely.
A moon door covered with wisteria flowers appears in front of you.
Ji Yuanjia stopped and said softly: "Go in by yourself."
Qianye raised his eyes and saw that behind the door was an empty shadow wall. The pale moonlight fell down, as if it had all dispersed into a dense mist, making it impossible to see the scenery inside.
Qianye walked in the door, and a moist warmth hit his face. The mist was still very thick, and seemed to carry a lingering fragrance. Only then did he realize that there was a huge lotus pond in front of him, with a long bridge leading to a waterside pavilion in the middle of the water.
The Gemini Alpha star at night is in the lowest position. It is huge and rests on the slanted eaves. The water surface is the reflection of the full moon. At first glance, it almost covers the entire space. The Tiantian lotus looks like It looks like it grows on the moon.
Qiqi was sitting on the ground in the waterside pavilion. She was wearing a deep, wide-sleeved dress, resting her head on her knees, quietly staring at the water. Under the overwhelming moonlight, her back looked a little desolate and lonely.
Qianye walked slowly behind her and called: "Miss Qiqi."
Qiqi did not look back, she sighed softly and said, "Uncle Li died and fell in front of me. He watched me grow up, and he didn't expect to leave like this."
Qianye listened quietly.
"Uncle Li has long been a warrior-level warrior. If he hadn't stayed in the Yin family, moved to another place, or joined the army, he would have gained both fame and fortune. But he has been following me and taking care of me all these years. Protect me. If it weren't for protecting me, he wouldn't..."
