"Emperor's 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. However, as soon as Song Zining entered, 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 the Seventh Young Master? 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 Tianji Art, which is similar to Force Insight. General Lan did not deliberately pretend. In this way, with a sixteenth-level Force cultivation, there are still sharp edges in the Force.
Isn't it his signature golden needle?"
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 level."
"It's a little trick, but it's not worth mentioning. In addition, Song is no longer a member of the Song clan, and the rank of Seventh Young Master is no longer used. You two can just call me Zi Ning."
"Mr. Zining, Lan will not beat around the bush. The first reason Lan is here is to exchange the remaining resources in the hands of General Qianye. The second is to report a piece of news to 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 is 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. But right now, it is 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 really wants the thing in Qianye's hand!"
"Exactly. 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!"
"Floating Land? Isn't it still frozen there?" Song Zining frowned. Back then, he had personally participated in the Battle of Floating Land and experienced a complete process from almost occupation to complete defeat.
The performance of each noble family 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 that Qianye was a vampire before. 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 sharpened into figures who can stand alone. Among the younger generation, Qianye is even more
He is regarded as one of the most promising candidates to break through to the realm of Heavenly King.
Privately, there have been rumors circulating for a long time, that is, if the military department had not been so troubled, perhaps Qianye's vampire identity would not have been exposed until he was 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 exposing the matter also had a great impact on various powerful families. There is only one reason for this: the military department's hand was stretched too long.
The Zhao family 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 position several times to defend it at all costs, but the Zhao family's real ability.
Duke Youguo and Duke Chengen, who had the right to speak, Qianye fled after killing Li Fengshui. 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.
The secret investigation of geniuses like Qianye, who are the core members of the family, can be said to have touched the bottom line of the family. If Qianye, the Zhao clan, can be investigated, then which other family can be spared? Moreover, the methods of the military department are really not good, and they actually
Kidnapping someone close to Qianye, how could everyone not be in danger if he did this? Qianye had a blood problem, what if it were someone else? What "evidence" would 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, he was the youngest son of Princess Gaoyi, one of the only two legitimate daughters of the late emperor.
, looking at the various clans, noble families and independent princes, there are several people who are more noble than him. Even the military dares to take action against him, is there anyone who dares not to move?
Heirs are the foundation of a clan. When this incident came out, even those aristocratic families who secretly flirted with the military couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs.
Therefore, in the short period of time when the military took over Zhao Jundu's front, the performance of the private armies of the aristocratic families plummeted. The Zhao clan was even more demoralized and unable to retreat. The various aristocratic families intentionally or unintentionally cut off their support and support for the legions directly under the military headquarters.
To rescue, everyone came up with the idea of clearing the snow in front of the door.
The empire was already weak and could not withstand fighting on its own. The war situation collapsed immediately. It was beaten to the core defense line of the Zhao clan, and was only resisted by Zhao Jundu and his army who hurriedly came back to clean up the mess.
The ground battle was unfavorable, and the situation in the air battle was even more critical. When the offensives of each family were slightly stronger, their private warships retreated one after another. In the end, the Imperial Guard Fleet could only stand in front. The private armies could retreat, but the Imperial Guards could not.
.
After several consecutive fierce battles, the Imperial Guard fleet, which received little cooperation, suffered heavy losses. Although the Yongye side suffered greater losses, the fleets of the dark race were endless, while the Imperial Guard fleet was isolated and helpless. In the fold,
After losing nearly one-third of the battleships, the Imperial Guard fleet finally could no longer hold on 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 they were furious, and the imperial family had nothing to do about this situation. The military department was the first to cross the line, but the reason for those small actions at the beginning was to collude with the plan to cut down the vassal, not to mention that the evidence of Qianye's crime was conclusive. On the other hand, the imperial family did not have any personal secrets about the family.
This is not the first time that each family has taken direct command of the army to protect themselves. Passively avoiding war and weakening the imperial imperial 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 sitting in charge who would come forward to clean up the situation. However, this time it was caused by the twin stars of the Zhao clan, and even the marshals were afraid that they would not be able to hold back. However, King Zhiji and King Qingyang remained silent.
, Lin Xitang was rumored to have suffered a recurring injury, and now no one knows whether he is in Beifu or the Imperial Capital. The other marshals do not have Lin Xitang's skill, and no one wants to bring trouble to themselves.
After all, this turned into a mess. In the end, the emperor had nowhere to vent his anger, so he had to remove the commander of the Guards Fleet. However, there were only a few people in the empire who were good at air combat, commanding the Guards Fleet.
Li Guogong is already recognized as one of the best commanders in both camps. No matter who he replaces, he will not be able to perform better than Li Guogong.
In Song Zining's opinion, there was 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, Master Qianye."
Then he said to Lan Xincheng: "Do you mind Qianye listening to it together?"
Lan Xincheng hurriedly said: "How could it be? This matter originally required Lord Qianye's help."
After a while, Qianye pushed the door open and entered the room. He was slightly startled when he saw the two people in the room, and then smiled and said: "You guys came too soon."
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, and I would like to ask the two adults to help."
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. Under such circumstances, we can still cooperate.
?”
Lan Xincheng, however, was not angry but smiled and said: "They are two different things. They are all responsible for the placement of the military headquarters in a neutral place. General Qianye removed them. I think some adults will not blame them, but will secretly
I feel happy. Even the old prince would just ignore it. After all, General, you are the one who helped him in the most critical point."
"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 deep grudges. If you are not killed, I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress the backlash of the people below. But
Since it's a trap, we can't do it openly, nor can we do it during a big event. For example, this is a national event, who dares to attack you?"
Qianye raised his eyebrows, while Song Zining's face turned into a smile.
There was obviously no point in talking to Lan Xincheng anymore. After Qianye sat down, he extended his hand to the two of them and gave up his seat, saying, "Let's talk about what's 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 was an unusually delicate mechanism design, with each gear as thin as a hair.
Song Zining is very familiar with such a 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 cannot be used.
When opened again, it can only be cracked by brute force, and it also prevents strong people from reading the content with super-limited force. It is used to transfer written documents, and there is almost no possibility of being opened halfway.
Song Zining stretched out his hand to unscrew the mechanical lock, took out the documents inside, and read them carefully.
This was a carefully drawn up battle plan that was interconnected, sophisticated and majestic at the same time. Song Zining couldn't help but hold his breath while looking at it.
Qianye also knew a little about military strategy. Looking at it from the side, he also felt that the arrows representing the assault route 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 get a compliment from Mr. Zining."
Song Zining said sternly: "What General Lan said is wrong. I am not praising you, but admiring me! The level of those who can draw up this plan is definitely higher than mine. Even if it takes ten years, I dare not say that he can do it."
To reach the level that this person is today. Looking at the empire, there should be no more than one person like this."
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 reread the entire plan. To be honest, when they read 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
It was discovered that several key nodes were extremely risky and required careful coordination and negotiation before implementation. But if this plan came from Lin Xitang, it means that there must be other arrangements or back-ups.
Even so, Song Zining still looked quite solemn. There was a thin red line specially marked on the plan. First there was a battle in outer space, and then it bypassed the battlefield and went straight to the base camp of the dark race on the other side of the floating continent. This red line
, which is the march route of Qianye and Song Zining.
Song Zining suddenly raised his head and asked, "How is Marshal Lin doing now?"
