At this moment, there was sudden silence all around, and time seemed to have frozen. People's faces were full of surprise, as if their thoughts had stopped, and they could not imagine what was about to happen.
The ancient and elegant patterns on the "Twin Flower" gun body lit up one after another, outlining a beautiful, almost demonic double-petaled flower, with an inner layer as white as frost and an outer layer as scarlet as blood. The muzzle of the gun revealed a hazy light of force, and then a A force bomb slowly flew out and flew towards Lu Shenjiang's forehead, freezing his horrified expression.
A red and white flower bloomed in front of everyone's eyes.
"It's really time to leave this time." Qianye put away his gun, said hello to Ji Yuanjia as if nothing had happened, turned around and left.
Even Ji Yuanjia said in disbelief: "Did you really kill him?"
Qianye said calmly: "He should die twice. I never joke about this kind of thing."
Ji Yuanjia took a deep breath, nodded, and started to walk out with Qianye. He was half a shoulder behind Qianye intentionally or unintentionally, and a small half-foot sword in his right hand made a soft sound, revealing the misty blue color.
When he stepped out of the threshold, Ji Yuanjia turned around and met Ye Mulan's eyes very calmly. The latter stood high on the steps, having returned to his cold and arrogant posture, but his beautiful and flawless face seemed to have a trace of... Ji Yuanjia strode away with a slightly dull mask, but Qianye never looked back.
Watching Qianye and Ji Yuanjia leave, the young people who had just rushed nearby were all stunned. It was not until the off-road vehicle they were riding in completely disappeared from sight that anyone screamed loudly.
Ye Mulan said coldly: "The untouchables dare to openly kill the nobles! I must find justice in this matter!"
All the noble youths responded one after another, but most of them couldn't help but look gloomy. Ji Yuanjia acted unexpectedly tough when he left, assuming a posture of not willing to fight, which actually foreshadowed the outcome of this matter.
This kind of conflict occurs every day in every corner of the city. The strongest and most effective way is to kill the opponent on the spot. Want to go through official procedures to get "justice"? This kind of thing will take several years, and I don't know if it will happen. There are results. In the final analysis, in the eyes of the big shots, there is actually not much difference between nobles, poor families, and civilians, and there are always very few special beings.
On the way back in the car, Ji Yuanjia suddenly said: "I'm sorry."
"Don't say that."
Ji Yuanjia sighed: "No, I still have to say it! I really didn't have the courage at that time." If he hadn't been wary of Ye Mulan and gave in from the beginning, Qianye would not have been forced into the duel. He came prepared, with precise plans for level, technique, and equipment. If Qianye's combat power was not beyond everyone's imagination, it would have been Qianye who was seriously injured or even died in the duel.
Qianye patted his shoulder and smiled: "I have courage because I have nothing. You are different, you still have family."
Ji Yuanjia sighed and said bitterly: "These damn nobles!"
Qianye smiled faintly and said, "That's probably what they are."
Ji Yuanjia remembered something and asked, "What happened to that Marquis?"
"Nothing, it's the Vampire Marquis Ross. I killed one of his descendants and snatched two guns that were said to be the weapons he was famous for in the past. I can't hide this matter, so he will send people to hunt him down. I just didn't expect it. So quickly, it was through the hands of these nobles."
Ji Yuanjia suddenly took a breath of air: "Marquis Ross! Damn it, that's an old monster that has lived for almost a thousand years! But his main territorial power is in the Dark Blood City area, which is still far away from here. So what are you going to do now?
What should I do, find a way to sell those two guns?"
Qianye said leisurely: "No, I'm going to use those guns. I tried them just now and they felt good. Although they are a little older, they are still quite easy to use."
Ji Yuanjia said in shock: "You are crazy! You are openly provoking! Provoking a vampire marquis!"
"I have never been so awake for a moment." Qianye replied.
Ji Yuanjia was very speechless. If Qianye did this on other battlefields, it would be okay. No matter how powerful the Blood Marquis was, he would not dare to rush into the human camp and kill Qianye alone. Besides, this kind of thing is not possible at the level of Marquis Ross.
, it’s just a small thing.
However, this is the Evernight Continent, a place where the human race and the dark race are interpenetrated and entangled. No one can tell how many transactions there are between the expeditionary force and the dark race, and how deep the water is. As long as Marquis Ross sends out enough
If there is a reward, then some people want to cut off Qianye's head, just like what Lu Shenjiang did.
"What are you going to do now?"
"I'm going to go to the front line, get familiar with the 131st Company, and then start fighting against the dark race. Miss Qiqi should be able to get some points in the assessment."
Ji Yuanjia frowned and said: "The wars here are more frequent than in the Rock Territory, and the dark race's combat power is also stronger."
"It is better to face a powerful enemy head-on than to always be on guard against the knife coming from behind."
Ji Yuanjia smiled bitterly and said: "Your idea is still too... naive. It does not mean that you will not be framed if you are on the front line." He paused and said bluntly: "Your level is still not enough.
Gao, if you go to the company-level front line, you will face many powerful dark races, and they will not give you a fair duel. Miss Qiqi originally wanted you to upgrade to level five before going to the front line."
Qianye suddenly laughed and said: "Actually, killing is different from dueling. People who can't win in a fight don't mean that they can't be killed."
Ji Yuanjia thought for a while, exhaled, and said: "Okay, anyway, be careful in everything, do more reconnaissance before taking action, and reserve an escape route. In addition, you'd better contact me before taking large-scale actions. I might be able to
Get you some support."
"Didn't Miss Qiqi only bring one battalion of regular troops this time? Now that you have given me a reinforced company, what else do you have to support me?"
"A battalion of the Seventeenth Legion is just a regular force deployed by the Yin family for assessment. I am responsible for the recruitment of Miss Qiqi's private army. Now there are almost a thousand people, and the training has never stopped. They have a good foundation.
, and with some more coordination training, you can go directly to the battlefield."
Qianye nodded and said: "Okay, I will remember it. If I really need it, I will definitely come to you."
After returning to the Yin Family Courtyard, Qianye began to pack his luggage and equipment. The 131st reinforcement company was stationed in a small town hundreds of kilometers away, and that area was the real frontline against the dark race.
While Qianye was busy in the room, Qiqi walked directly into the bedroom without even giving a briefing. She looked at the equipment that Qianye had sorted out and said, "Are you going to fight so soon?"
"Go there early so you can familiarize yourself with the environment as soon as possible."
Qiqi picked up the pair of vampire short guns and played with them, and said: "I have heard about what happened today. You did a good job, and it suits me very well! The only thing that is not so satisfying is that Ye was not killed.
Mu Lan." She raised her guns and aimed at the vampire in a war painting on the wall, and then said: "This woman is even more annoying than that sinister and cunning guy Song Zining!"
Qianye choked for a moment and began to think about whether Song Zining in Huangquan was related to these four-character comments. Then he realized that he was distracted and immediately said: "Wouldn't killing her bring you trouble?"
Qiqi said nonchalantly: "It will only be a little trouble. In fact, my troubles cannot be more. If you kill her, the Song family will naturally change Song Zining's fiancée. But they need to pursue it for the sake of face."
That’s all.”
Qianye said honestly: "Ye Mulan's secret skills are very useful. Although I won, I may not be able to kill her."
Qiqi glanced at him sideways, obviously annoyed by Qianye's too honest answer, and said: "These two guns are good, give them to me?"
Qianye shook his head and said, "No, I plan to use it myself."
"Tsk tsk! You are openly provoking the Marquis! Although he doesn't bother to deal with you personally, those descendants must kill you!"
"Then let them do it!"
Qiqi put down her guns and said: "You are crazier than I thought. Well, don't die, otherwise where can I find such a beautiful little lover again?"
The next day, Qiqi directly sent her private airship to take Qianye to her destination, and Ji Yuanjia accompanied her.
On the airship, Qianye finally asked a question that he had been wondering about for the past two days: "Why do wealthy families like the Yin family and the Song family marry into noble families?"
"That's it..."
It turns out that in order to attract talents and maintain the vitality of the family bloodline, aristocratic families will designate a group of young people in each generation to marry into noble families. Regardless of whether they are men or women, the result of this marriage is that the nobles will integrate into the noble family. In other words,
Gu Liyu and Ye Mulan will be members of the Yin family and Song family respectively from now on.
Only the most outstanding young people among the gentry will get such an opportunity. Even if they enter the door of a noble family, they will take care of the original family. This is also an opportunity for the gentry to rise and take off. For aristocratic families, it is
It can continuously absorb the most outstanding young people of the noble clan into its own family, maintaining its own status as a whole, and it is also a way to potentially suppress the development of the noble clan.
Yin Qiqi and Song Zining were designated by their families as candidates for marriage with noble families when they were very young. Generally speaking, between the ages of six and eight, this is the age when children of noble families begin to practice the Force. After a series of potential tests and family background,
The blood relationship is determined after screening. The objects used for marriage are naturally those on the edge of the direct line.
It's just that Yin Qiqi and Song Zining are rare exceptions. Not only have their personal abilities become more and more outstanding as adults, but their status in the family has also become increasingly important. That's why Gu Liyu and Ye Mulan attach so much importance to the marriage contract, and they must ensure that the marriage contract is fulfilled no matter what the cost.
.
Qianye suddenly thought of a question. The potential tests of major aristocratic families, especially those at the top, are already quite mature. Why is there such a big deviation? And from childhood to adulthood, there should be many opportunities to correct it. He then asked
When he exited, he saw Ji Yuanjia's expression and understood immediately.
There are probably many people within the Song family and the Yin family who want to see the engagement come true for various purposes. Although Yin Qiqi is extremely dissatisfied with the family's arrangements, she can't get the Yin family to break off the engagement, so she has no choice but to force Gu Liyu to give up on her own initiative.
Yes, but her method is really a bit speechless.
Only then did Qianye understand the ins and outs of the whole thing. But even if he knew it in advance, it would make no difference. When he joined this task, he was destined to offend Gu Liyu to death. But Qianye worked hard to do his best work.
, the results of some things were beyond the expectations of the initiator Yin Qiqi and her staff.
A few hours later, the airship slowly landed in Zhongying Town. This is a small town where thousands of people have settled. They mainly rely on a nearby black stone mine for their livelihood. Most of the residents in the town are people from the mine.
