This session of the Presbyterian Council broke up unhappy, and no results were reached.
Song Zhongnian wanted to increase his own troops to go to Yongye. Of course, no one objected, but it was impossible to dispatch the Song clan's private army. However, everyone knew that most of the Song clan's so-called Iron Curtain troops were recruited on the spot, and these human lives were used
It is possible to accumulate some military exploits, but it is absolutely impossible to break the siege of Heiliu City.
When the elders walked out of the meeting hall in twos and threes, it was already dark.
Song Zhongcheng was surrounded by six or seven elders, all of whom were close friends. He cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to the elders for your help this time, if a big thing is accomplished, your reward will be indispensable."
One of the elders laughed and said: "Brother Zhongcheng's words are exaggerated. You and I have known each other for decades. This little thing is just a trivial matter, so why bother?"
Another elder said: "I would like to congratulate Zian in advance on marrying Miss Xin'er! With such strong help, it is unknown who will be the next leader of the clan!"
The other elders agreed one after another.
Song Zhongcheng stroked his beard and smiled, feeling satisfied and said: "The marriage selection is just around the corner, and preparations have to be made on Zian's side. Everything depends on the efforts of Elder Hu and Brother Zhong Ming."
The two elders whose names were called hurriedly said: "It's a matter of responsibility."
Another elder looked around and saw that the clan leader Song Zhongnian had not yet come out of Shouzhuo Hall, so he smiled and said: "To say that Xiaoqi's talent is indeed amazing, but unfortunately his luck has been bad. I want to see the battle of Guangheiliu.
You can't pass the first level."
Song Zhongcheng smiled and said: "The clan leader actually still can't see the situation clearly. Even if we don't take action, in his own room... is everyone working together? In fact, it doesn't matter if Xiao Qi breaks off the engagement. After the battle with Heiliu,
No matter how you say he is a defeated general, his reputation is not that good after all."
Several elders nodded repeatedly. In fact, the battle of Heiliu was so dangerous that they felt frightened just by looking at the battle report. It was beyond their expectation that Song Zining could endure until now.
At this time, Song Zhongnian also walked out of the meeting hall. There were only three or four elders around him, far behind Song Zhongcheng.
Seeing Song Zhongcheng's proud look, Song Zhongnian snorted loudly and strode out of the garden. At this time, an elder sighed: "It's a pity that Zhongcheng is just short-sighted. He really thought that he could get that marriage by suppressing Zining."
?Song Zian, who can compete with him? Zicheng is not far behind."
Several elders also sighed.
After Song Zicheng secured the first place in the Song clan examination with an absolute advantage, he successfully proposed to marry Princess Rongyang of the clan. Now the engagement has been finalized and the wedding date is almost scheduled. Because of this, Song Zicheng
Only the elders were so straightforward in this matter, not even bothering to throw the Song family's face to the ground and have others trample on it. There was really no time to beat around the bush.
Song Zhongnian said slowly: "It doesn't matter, it's Zining who doesn't have this fate. It's just a pity."
The elders looked at each other, but were speechless. Song Zining has gradually emerged as a prodigy in recent years, and several battles under Heiliu City have pushed his reputation to the top. Regardless of his talent and martial arts, he is the number one among the younger generation of the Song clan. He has even been
Some people began to compare him with geniuses from other wealthy families, which had never happened before.
Such a talented person wanted to establish his own family, which was undoubtedly a great loss to the Song Dynasty. Song Zhongnian finally made up his mind to resolve the gentry marriage contract for Song Zining, and had the intention of letting him marry Duke Wei on behalf of the Song Dynasty. Not only for
Keeping Song Zining is for the future of the Song clan.
It's just that Song Zhongnian didn't expect that the obstacles at the elders' meeting would be unexpectedly large. Even some good people who usually ignored the disputes suddenly came to Song Zhongcheng's side. Considering Song Zhongcheng's strength, he didn't have such great ability.
No matter Song Zhongnian or the elders, they are all superior people. How could they not know why this matter has reached such a state? Song Zian is not the only one who does not want Song Zining to return. If this dragon among men continues
When someone rises within the clan, the person who feels the most threatened is someone else.
Thinking of this, Song Zhongnian looked tired, as if he had aged ten years in an instant. He just waved his hand and walked slowly out of the garden gate.
Suddenly, a strong wind hit us, almost causing the two elders walking on the west side of the road to stagger.
Song Zhongnian looked intently and frowned, "Zhong Xing, what are you doing in such a hurry? Also, what time is it? I didn't come here until the meeting was over..."
The person who came was none other than Song Zhongnian's younger brother Song Zhongxing. He had always had a bad temper and spoke directly. He usually gave his elder brother a bit of face, but now he rolled his eyes and said, "What's the point of participating in such a shabby meeting? Aren't you?"
Nothing found again?”
Song Zhongnian was in a depressed mood when he caught a glimpse of Song Zhongcheng and several elders walking out of the garden. He watched their quarrel as if they were watching a play. He was extremely unhappy at the moment, "Zhong Xing..."
However, Song Zhongxing was impatient to listen to the lesson and interrupted him with a sneer, saying: "Brother, you don't have to worry, the siege of Heiliu City has been lifted."
The path at the gate of Hanbi Garden suddenly became quiet, and even the sound of the wind blowing the leaves could be clearly heard.
However, the bigger thunder was still behind, and Song Zhongxing said with joy and ridicule: "Zi Ning, in the midst of thousands of enemies, attacked the central army and killed the dark general in front of the formation. The dark race was defeated. Haha, I, the Song clan,
The Beacon Fire Spreading Spear, once upon a time, was as famous on the battlefield as Zhang Clan Yunkongzhiyu, and today it has regained its glory in the hands of Zi Ning, don’t you feel happy?”
The expressions on the faces of all the elders present were indescribable. They had all kinds of colors, as if they had opened a dye shop.
After this battle, Song Zining's reputation will definitely be at its peak, enough to be on par with the few geniuses of the younger generation of the powerful family. However, such a person can no longer be relied upon in the future of the Song Dynasty. And the various deeds of the Song Dynasty in avoiding war obviously cannot be concealed.
After going through various noble families and all the calculations, they got such a result. The Song clan will definitely become a laughing stock among the imperial nobles.
But Song Zhongxing continued to throw another big thunder, "Oh, let's get down to business, brother, I'm here to apologize."
Song Zhongnian's heart was full of emotions. Before he could react after hearing this, he heard Song Zhongxing say: "I just went to inspect the prison, and unexpectedly encountered those two little bitches from the Ye family escaping from prison. They accidentally beat someone.
Dead. It seems that this case has to fall on the Ye family. I don’t believe it. The Ye family doesn’t know that these sisters did such a thing!"
Song Zhongnian opened his mouth but did not speak. Behind him, the great elder Song Zhongcheng roared, "Song Zhongxing, you are killing people and silencing them!"
Song Zhongxing sneered: "What? Do the elders think that I should stand and let them kill me? They are just two noble women. Brother, your elbows are turned out too obviously! Looking at this behavior, those who don't know would think that you are the one who died.
My grandson’s wife.”
Song Zhongcheng was so angry that he couldn't speak. He pointed his hand at Song Zhongxing and kept shaking. However, although Song Zhongxing's temper was disgusting, he was one of the best in the clan. Even if Song Zhongcheng really wanted to teach him a lesson, the two of them could only get in trouble.
The battle lasted for a long time, but they were evenly matched.
Song Zhongxing's sarcastic gaze swept across the faces of everyone present one by one. With a sigh, he turned around and walked away.
Night fell again, and Blackstream City ushered in its first quiet night.
It was said that it was quiet, but in fact it was a bit reluctant. Inside and outside the city, lights were brightly lit everywhere. All the soldiers from the dark fire went out to clean the battlefield and collect trophies.
In Black Current City, almost half of the city was in ruins. Although the dark army retreated, the bloody battle was not over. Naturally, we must seize the time to repair the fortifications. Not to mention anything else, the four fortress cannons have been overloaded so far, and three of them have been broken.
This must be fixed as soon as possible.
Qianye and Song Zining stood side by side on the city tower, overlooking the inside and outside of the city, both already feeling a little drunk.
Song Zining sighed: "From the time we met in Huangquan to now, so many years have passed without realizing it."
Qianye also sighed with emotion, feeling that the world has changed forever.
"Qianye, have you ever thought about where to go next?"
Qianye shook his head and said: "It's easy for me to say that I am alone and can come and go as I please. But after this battle, you will be in trouble."
Song Zining didn't take it seriously and said: "Whatever, I'm not afraid of small troubles. If it's a big trouble, I'll leave Nanhua and go to the continent outside the empire to be a consort, and I can be free for the rest of my life."
"Just you? You'll see the devil if you can bear it." Qianye mocked unceremoniously.
From Song Zining's mouth, Qianye learned that Nanhua was actually the princess of Zheng, a small country in the outer continent.
The Zheng State was weak in national power, not even as large as a large county in the empire, and it was considered one of the many vassal states of the empire. In this bloody battle, the Zheng State almost mobilized its entire country in order to receive military merit rewards. This was a rare opportunity to obtain large quantities of imperial armaments.
Nan Hua, on the other hand, had other thoughts and wanted to get to know a young handsome man from the empire, and then he met Song Zining by chance.
Qianye has only one comment about Nanhua: "He is not a kind person when he meets others."
However, the people of Zheng were open-minded, unlike the strict etiquette and hierarchies among the imperial clans. Nanhua didn't care about Song Zining's so-called engagement. In fact, the princess might have preferred that he didn't have such a prominent surname.
Being laughed at by Qianye, Song Zining just smiled and said: "When are you planning to go find Nangong Xiaoniao?"
Qianye suddenly became silent.
Seeing that he had the upper hand, Song Zining didn't feel sorry for himself. He didn't continue to discuss this topic, but asked: "What are you going to do next?"
Qianye said: "I need to rest for a few days to recover from my injuries. Then, I will go and have some fun with the Nangong family." His words and deeds are now a bit domineering without even realizing it.
In the battle with Luther, Qianye suffered hidden wounds all over his body and was in urgent need of rest and recovery. However, when he defeated the Chinese army, he also gained a large amount of vitality essence and blood from the last plunder of life when he defeated the Chinese army. The people who surrounded him at that time were all Luther's personal guards.
A weak person's vitality is instantly overflowing, almost bursting his body. Such a large amount of essence and blood needs to be digested immediately.
Qianye didn't waste any more time, leaving Song Zining, who still had unfinished thoughts, to drink and enjoy the scenery alone at the top of the city. He found a quiet room, told not to disturb anything important, and began to retreat in seclusion.
Although there were many injuries caused by the battle, fortunately they were not too serious. Most of them were caused by the backlash of the force during the violent attack on Luther. The injuries on the body were not a big deal, only the internal organs were in some trouble.
Qianye sat down in the quiet room, slowly activating the blood core. He didn't know many secret techniques, and the one he could use to heal injuries was the Yin family's Rain Transformation Technique. However, with the power he now possesses, the Rain Transformation Technique no matter how fast it is.
The effect is average, it is not as fast as using blood energy to recover directly.
The blood core began to pulsate, slowly increasing its speed, and the dormant blood energy also became active. The injuries wherever it passed were immediately recovered. In just half of the night, those superficial injuries were gone.
At this moment, the night was still dark, Qianye picked up the mysterious chapter of Song's ancient scroll and began to digest the huge vitality of essence and blood in his body.
From this sitting, a day and a night passed in the blink of an eye.
The speed of digestion this time was much faster than before, and all the life essence and blood were turned into the dark force, and then absorbed by the purple and dark gold blood. Unexpectedly, neither the original wings nor the black book were dormant and had no connection with the blood.
Fight for the Dark Force.
When the last bit of the dark force was absorbed by the dark gold blood, a warm current suddenly surged from Qianye's heart, and it spread all over his body in an instant, making him feel indescribably comfortable. He was a little stunned, and quickly looked inside, only to find the blood flowing from the blood core.
I don't know when there were some golden shimmers in my body. Wherever these light spots touched, my body was filled with warmth, and my vitality became more vigorous.
There were only a few golden light spots, and they gradually dimmed and dissipated as the blood flowed for a while. Qianye focused on one of the golden light spots, and his vision continued to expand, becoming detailed in the blink of an eye.
I saw that the golden light spots were not pure. The core seemed to be extremely small particles, surrounded by golden mist, like a burning flame. As the golden flame burned, the particles would gradually shrink until they disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Qianye's heart was slightly shaken, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
