The war here is over, but Qianye has no intention of returning to the Western Continent with the Zhao Clan's army. Black Current and Dark Fire are his foundation, and there is also Night Eye there.
When bidding farewell to Zhao Jundu, Qianyeben was a little worried that he would have to waste some words. Surprisingly, Zhao Jundu, who had always been strong, did not express any objection this time.
Qianye also learned a secret from the Zhao clan from him. Only the children of the Zhao clan who had participated in the great sacrifice ceremony were considered the real core members. They needed to leave a trace of blood on the ancestral hall. If they died outside, the family would be destroyed.
News will be obtained, and when necessary, the family can also find their whereabouts through secret methods.
Hearing this secret, Qianye's heart jumped slightly. He first understood how the Zhao clan found the place where Zhao Weihuang and Ye Ji lived in seclusion. Then he realized another problem. Since the ancestral temple formation can record and trace bloodlines,
Breath, does it have other functions?
Zhao Jundu gave Qianye protection within the clan in the name of being under his command, but at first he did not intend to let him participate in the war in the name of Zhao clan, even though Zhao clan's position on the military merit list was in jeopardy at that time. Thinking about it now, it may not be because of Xiao Xiao.
After seeing Qianye's combat prowess, did Zhao Jundu guess something, or was he worried about something?
Think again about the actions of You Guogong, which may seem ordinary but actually have profound meanings. Whether it is the unabashed appreciation in front of others, or whether he mentioned intentionally or unintentionally in that in-depth conversation that he did not have the right to inherit the clan leader, he does not like too complicated personnel matters.
Qianye could only smile bitterly.
When the imperial fleet left, Qianye put away all his thoughts, turned around, boarded the off-road vehicle, started the engine, and headed all the way to Blackstream City.
The Yongye Continent, which had just ended a war, was quite peaceful. Qianye returned to Heiliu City smoothly without any twists and turns. Although there were still traces of the raging war everywhere inside and outside the city, most of the dilapidated city defenses had been repaired, and the inside of the city was even more incomparable.
It was lively and crowded everywhere. In the city that could originally accommodate 100,000 people, more than 200,000 people were squeezed in.
Since the beginning of the bloody war, Blackstream City, located within the Iron Curtain, has become an important place. A large number of mercenary hunters who went out to fight used this place as the most forward supply base. But in the middle and late stages, after the organized army entered the field, the residents of the wild villages and settlements had to
Flooded into cities to seek refuge.
Blackstream was guarded by Song Zining, and it gained such a great reputation after the Siege and Tuobian Battles. In the later stages, almost no dark race was willing to come and die. As a result, more people hid in Blackstream City, and various trades
Hongshang also regarded this place as a transit point, and the market became more prosperous.
Song Zining didn't know what his considerations were, but he basically accepted everyone who came and put them all into the city as long as they paid taxes. Fortunately, he had made preparations and saved a large amount of food in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to survive the later stages of the bloody battle.
When Qianye drove to the foot of Heiliu City, the city walls were full of busy workers. Not only were they repairing and strengthening the city walls, but they also built two more turrets. Looking at the scale, they could already place fortress cannons.
Blackstream City's original fortress cannons have been specially modified by Nangong Xiaoniao. The artillery fire can cover all sides of the city. With two more fortress cannons, the defense power has been significantly enhanced. If Viscount Luther, the demon from the bloody war, comes to attack now, I'm afraid
Just shooting down the fortress cannons will cause heavy losses for the army.
Qianye drove his car into the city along with the people. The soldiers guarding the city gate were meticulous and stopped him even when they saw the Imperial Regular Legion logo on the car. They didn't let him go until he saw clearly that it was Qianye in the driver's seat.
The streets in Heiliu City were also noisy. Song Zining had attracted dozens of large commercial banks at first, but now he looked up and saw a dazzling array of signboards. The number of new large and small commercial banks was at least several times that of the past. He only walked through one main street.
, I saw six or seven stores being renovated and will be opening soon.
Blackstream City is bustling with activity, but the order is good. You can see patrolling Dark Fire Warriors from time to time. Whether they are unruly mercenary hunters or the children of aristocratic families who always have high standards, they are all the same when meeting the Dark Fire Warriors.
His face was in awe, not daring to conflict at all.
This is all due to Song Zining. This seventh young master suppressed the chaos with an iron fist during the bloody battle. Anyone who dared to stir up trouble, no matter who it was, was basically killed. Even the direct descendants of the Nangong family were killed several times.
In the end, no one dared to risk their own lives to try the Seventh Young Master's methods.
Although the human settlements in the wilderness outside have been basically destroyed, the Black Current at this moment cannot be regarded as a place with only one city. In the bloody battle, the Empire and Yong Ye drew a draw, but the Black Current War Zone was different. In the early stage, Song Zining had no battle.
Unbeatable, he swept across the dark army. In the later period, Qianye penetrated several war zones in the dark kingdom alone. By now, almost no one on the Yongye side was willing to come to the black stream to die.
In the dark kingdom bordering the Black Current War Zone, most of the land of the Earl of Stuka, the Spider Demon, fell under the control of the Dark Fire. Even the castle of the Earl of the Spider Demon was captured, leaving only two or three viscounties.
They were divided in various places. The reason why these small territories can still be preserved is because Dark Fire's troops are already stretched thin and are not enough to digest so much territory, so they have not taken action for the time being.
However, when Qianye saw the recruitment notices everywhere on both sides of the street, he knew that Song Zining's ambitions did not end here. Otherwise, the war was already over, so why bother to expand the army so much? The next battlefield of the empire was on the floating land in the void, with hidden fire.
There was no way to participate. Neither Qianye nor Song Zining had that much money to transport Dark Fire, which was close to three divisions, into the Void Floating Continent.
Blackstream City has turned into a big construction site, but Darkfire's headquarters is still the same, with no changes. Qianye turned around a block and saw Darkfire's rather grand gatehouse from a distance, but did not go there, but directly
Returned home.
Compared with the last time, there have been some changes in details in the small courtyard. The most eye-catching thing is the addition of a big tree. The shade of the tree covers most of the courtyard, making the environment particularly quiet and peaceful.
Ye Tong was sitting in the courtyard reading a book, with a plate of fruit beside her.
Qianye sat down at the table. Ye Tong looked up at him, smiled slightly and said, "You're back?"
"Well, I'm back."
Ye Tong smiled again, "Just come back, I'll go cook."
Qianye said hurriedly: "You'd better forget it, I'll do it!"
Ye Tong glared at him fiercely, snorted, and followed Qian Ye into the kitchen.
This vampire eldest lady has surprisingly no talent in cooking. With exactly the same ingredients and cooking procedures, the food she makes is "different" and no matter how much she practices, it has no effect. Qianye has given up teaching, and as long as she has time
, you must do it yourself.
In the process of putting away the ingredients, Qianye asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Why is there another tree in the yard?"
Ever since Song Zining's Three Thousand Floating Leaves Technique became more and more sophisticated, Qianye had cast a shadow on the leaves, and then on the trees. It always felt like there were pairs of eyes hidden in the lush branches and leaves.
When Qianye asked, Ye Tong said nonchalantly: "The Seventh Young Master of the Song Dynasty sent someone here. He said it can block the sun and purify the air. I asked him to plant it in the yard."
Qianye was immediately shocked, "Did Zining send it?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Qianye felt something bad in his heart and asked, "Have you felt anything inappropriate recently?"
Ye Tong thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "No."
"When you go out, do you feel like you are being watched in secret?"
This time Ye Tong nodded and said, "Yes."
Qianye immediately gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This boy seems to have itchy skin!"
Ye Tong looked confused and asked: "What are you talking about?"
Qianye felt something was wrong and asked carefully: "Who is peeking at you?"
Ye Tong didn't even think about it and said, "Nangong Xiaoniao."
"Ah? Is it her?" This answer was beyond Qianye's expectation.
"Well, she came over and peeked several times, but I ignored her. Then one night, she tried to sneak into my room."
"This" Qianye didn't know what to say. Nangong Xiaoniao was a genius in terms of force arrays and machinery, but he was always a little confused at other times.
"I didn't know what she wanted to do, so I didn't care about her. I just watched quietly. But" at this point, a smile appeared on Ye Tong's face, "but she actually wanted to climb in through the ventilation skylight. That window was also
It was too small, she barely squeezed through halfway and got stuck in the middle."
After hearing this, Qianye inexplicably thought of Nangong Xiaoniao's turbulent chest. With such a figure, it seemed difficult to pass through the skylight.
"Then what?" Qianye asked with interest.
Ye Tong looked at Qianye with a half-smile, and said slowly: "Then of course I have to get her off. Well, it's still a bit difficult, three buttons on my clothes fell off."
Qianye's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong. Why were there only three buttons on this jacket that were missing?
However, Qianye had been through the storm for a long time, and the expression on his face remained unchanged. He said oh and asked again: "What happened next?"
"It was nothing after that. No matter what I asked, she didn't say a word. That little blush made me want to take a bite!"
This is indeed Nangong Xiaoniao's character. Considering the embarrassing situation at that time, it was good that she did not faint immediately.
Qianye originally thought that even if this incident was over, Nangong Xiaoniao wouldn't be able to do anything earth-shattering. With her temperament, if she fell into Ye Tong's hands, she would only be bullied.
As for what Ye Tong did later, whether he let him go or gave him a lesson, Qianye didn't care and didn't intend to know. Nangong Xiaoniao's thoughts about Qianye were known to almost everyone in the upper echelons of Anhuo. This kind of thing,
Of course it is better not to mention it less.
However, Ye Tong did not end the topic, and added: "The window was too small. When I got her down, I accidentally scratched her skin. Speaking of which, the smell of her blood is a bit unusual."
Qianye couldn't help but feel slightly nervous. He touched Ye Tong's black hair and asked, "Are you thirsty recently?"
Nighteye glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I am one of those guys with impure blood? People who have awakened the blood of the ancestors will not be thirsty for blood at all. I will not drink blood except during major ceremonies.
.The blood that has no force power is useless no matter how much you drink, and the taste is not good."
Qianye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he already knew some relevant knowledge from the Blood River inheritance, he was still worried about Ye Tong. Now that he heard her say it himself, he felt a little relieved.
If Ye Tong needs to drink blood, it is not impossible. On the Evernight Continent, there are a large number of bandits who can be killed no matter how many times, as well as a large number of captives on death row, and there are as many slaves as they want.
However, in Qianye's view, compared with humans, those powerful creatures, including various ferocious beasts and werewolf spider demons, can provide a large amount of blood essence and are rich in high-quality force.
It's just that as a highly intelligent race, the Vampire Race, like the Human Race, also has something called belief, which is often rooted in the heart since childhood and has simply become a part of life. Qianye once mentioned it to Ye Tong tactfully.
, you can try to get her some blood from werewolves and spider demons, or powerful alien beasts.
Unexpectedly, Ye Tong reacted so strongly when she heard about werewolf blood that she almost fell out with Qianye. In her opinion, being stained with werewolf blood was like the greatest humiliation. Seeing Ye Tong's reaction, Qianye
Wisely, he kept his mouth shut, and then went to fight in the Imperial Army.
Now that we are reunited, I think that Ye Tong has not absorbed blood essence for a long time. Although she is not thirsty for blood, Qianye is still a little worried. Although the dark races have their own cultivation methods, plundering is still the fastest growing power.
This is especially true for vampires and spider demons. In contrast, demons are similar to humans, and cultivation is more important than predation.
Qianye asked again and again, until he confirmed that Ye Tong would have no problems at least in the near future, and then he felt a little relieved.
At this time Ye Tong said: "That Nangong Xiaoniao is a bit strange, you have to be careful about her."
