Qianye sighed secretly in his heart, this may be the price of war.
After half a day of peace, Guanlan City suddenly fell into chaos at nightfall. Fires were ignited everywhere in the city. The sounds of killing and fighting were heard one after another. The city defense turrets were also firing desperately. However, some fired aimlessly into the air, while others had clear targets.
, they were cleared one by one in a very hierarchical manner, and the turrets blasted an adjacent turret violently, causing it to collapse in a short time.
The streets were full of private soldiers of the family rushing past. Among them, the Xue family had the largest number of troops and were the most eye-catching. These soldiers were murderous and rushed into several family houses. After entering, they killed everyone they saw without mercy. There were even some
A small family that has always been on good terms with the Xue family is not immune.
I don't know when several aerial ships appeared in the night sky. They looked like ordinary cargo ships, but their firepower was incredibly strong. Anywhere on the ground that resisted fiercely would be attacked by the air and would be suppressed in an instant.
The private army swept across.
The fierce fighting lasted all night and gradually stopped at dawn. Sporadic gunshots could still be heard from time to time.
Qianye was standing on an aerostat in the sky, looking down at the burning city. The aerostat was constantly hovering in the sky, vibrating violently from time to time, and dumping cannonballs into the city below.
The artillery fire was extremely accurate. As far as Qianye could see, there was almost no accidental damage. This showed that the gunner who operated the artillery was also a strong man, at least with a warrior-level cultivation.
On the ground, the resistance of each family gradually collapsed. Occasionally, a black shadow would leap out from the battlefield, and would be immediately chased and killed by several people. That was the demon descendant hidden in each family. When the turmoil occurred, it was not there in time.
Escape.
Not many demons were killed, and they were not very strong. A strong man of Aiden's level was never seen before. Qianye and Ji Tianqing had no chance to take action. This is not surprising, as the demons also
Good at hiding and breaking through, the real strong people saw that the situation was not good and fled as early as the war started. The rest are just small fish and shrimps.
However, after this battle, the demonic forces still suffered heavy losses. The vassal families were uprooted, causing them to lose all their minions, ears, and eyes, and it was no longer possible to organize effective actions. Although they still have strong men like Aiden, the empire also has
Qianye made Aiden dare not act rashly.
With this opportunity, Song Zining has the opportunity to calmly plan the battle. Even if the commanding power of this battle is not in his hands, based on Qianye's understanding of Song Zining, the former Seventh Young Master of the Song Dynasty will still do his best without reservation.
.
The price of this opportunity is the burning city of Guanlan and the exterminated families in the city. The hatred tonight may last for hundreds of years.
This is war.
Watching the battlefield silently, Qianye suddenly asked: "How many people did you send?"
Ji Tianqing did not answer but asked: "Did you see it?"
Qianye pointed casually and said: "Aren't those people the Broken-Winged Angels? The technique is too obvious."
"Less than a hundred."
Although less than a hundred people were sent to Guanlan City this time, they were all elites. They were divided into groups of several people, sometimes infiltrating alone, sometimes working together in groups, and working together to capture large targets. Looking at the elites leaping on the ground, Qianye
It seems like I have returned to my rookie career.
From the beginning to the end, Aiden or other powerful demons did not appear, and there was no suspense about the battle. Finally, Ji Tianqing said: "Go back." The aerospace ship slowly turned around and flew towards Nan Qingcheng.
In Nanqing City, the Dark Fire headquarters was not filled with victory and joy, but instead was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
In the conference room, Song Zining sat upright, shaking the folding fan constantly, with a calm demeanor. However, the few cronies behind him were not so relaxed. Some looked very nervous, while others glared. Probably because at this moment in the conference room,
All the accusations in this article were directed at Song Zining.
Yan Ding did not sit down, but stood, with his hand almost pointing to the tip of Song Zining's nose: "Song Zining! You are so arrogant! Who gave you the courage to rob the military warship! This is a grave crime of extermination!"
Song Zining did not answer, but used a folding fan to push away the finger that was close to poking the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "General Yan, calm down."
Yan Ding was so angry that he was shaking all over and said angrily: "Song Zining! Okay, very good! Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to the family?"
"Oh, I'm afraid..."
In addition to Yan Ding and Song Zining, there were two other people in the room. At this moment, some people couldn't help but chuckle.
Everyone knows that even if Song Zining commits the crime of genocide, no one can really take over the Song family. The common practice in the empire is for the Song family to expel Song Zining from the family and thus sever the relationship. This is also a privilege of the family members.
, if it were a noble clan, they would really confiscate their families and exterminate their clans.
Yan Ding obviously knew this, so he was even more furious. If he hadn't been self-aware and knew that he was no match for Song Zining, he would have taken action right now.
However, he could not be scolded or beaten. In front of everyone, Yan Ding felt that he had lost face and couldn't help but said angrily: "You aristocratic families are the cancer of the empire. If we don't uproot you, there will be no hope of reviving the empire!"
As soon as this statement came out, many people's expressions immediately changed. Basically, most of the people present came from aristocratic families, and a few had various connections.
Li Kuanglan was also present, and he was about to have an attack with his sword eyebrows raised. An old man beside him couldn't hold back anymore and said coldly: "We and other families established the country with Taizu. How much blood and sweat have been shed over the past thousands of years, so that we can have the empire we have today.
.Ignorant people, how dare you speak nonsense?"
Another old man also said: "The military department serves the empire and keeps some hawks and dogs. Why are you so arrogant recently and can't figure out your identity?"
Another person said in a gloomy tone: "Is the military planning to exterminate our family? Then after all the members of our family have fallen, who will we get rid of?"
"Do you still need to ask? Whoever is in charge of the military department will be removed."
Yan Ding was furious at first, but he broke into a cold sweat after hearing about it. These family members were very sophisticated and did not mention Yan Ding at all, but they all blamed the military department. If these heart-wrenching words were spread back,
The military boss will definitely be the first to let Yan Ding go, and there is no need for the family members to take action.
At this time, Song Zining said: "I just borrowed a few cargo ships. Why should General Yan be so impatient? Now they are coming back soon. If there is any damage, I will pay it to you. If you have the credit, you Yan
The general’s share!”
Yan Ding was originally in dire straits, but now he finally had a step forward. He snorted heavily and said: "If there is really merit, it is because of your Seventh Young Master's good planning. How can I pretend to take it?"
His face was full of anger, but his feet were very fast. He quickly returned to his seat and sat down. The room was divided into four parties, including Song Zining, Yan Ding, Li Kuanglan and other aristocratic families, as well as the imperial family. These few dozen people represented
The entire power of the Empire was carved into the neutral ground.
At this moment, on the side of the imperial family, an old man with a white face and no beard cleared his throat and said slowly and calmly: "Seven Young Masters' thunderous methods have indeed lived up to King Qingyang's recommendation and trust. Our family admires it. It's just that this battle only made the surroundings quieter, and the lurking demons
The descendant has not been injured. What will happen next?"
Song Zining said without hesitation: "Attack Tingchao City and capture the Maelstrom!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
The old man with a white face and no beard could not hide his surprise and said: "Young master Qi is joking? How can we attack Tingchao City with just the people like us now?"
Song Zining said: "With our current strength, we are indeed slightly inferior to Tingchao City, but it is not impossible for us to fight. As long as we contain Luo Bingfeng, the leader of Tingchao City, concentrate all our military power, attack in the east and attack in the west, avoid the real situation and attack the weak, it will not be difficult to defeat Tingchao City."
When the Chaocheng garrison is defeated, Luo Bingfeng will be unable to sing with his palm alone and will retreat on his own."
The old man frowned and said: "This move is really too risky. We know nothing about Luo Bingfeng, how easy is it to contain such a great master? In addition, according to the seventh young master, the command and dispatch of this battle is also the key, then
And who should direct it?"
Song Zining said calmly: "Of course it's me."
The old man in the imperial family frowned and said nothing, while Yan Ding sneered: "How do I know you won't deliberately let my people die? I have offended your seventh young master to death, right?"
Song Zining ignored him, but looked at Li Kuanglan and asked, "What did Master Kuanglan say?"
Li Kuanglan snorted, expressionless, and said calmly: "This is inappropriate."
Song Zining looked astonished, but he was not pretending. He calmed down and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's just not right!"
Song Zining opened his mouth, stunned, not knowing how to answer. Judging from Li Kuanglan's meaning, it seemed that no matter what Song Zining said, he was going to object. A group of family members, including an elder of the Li family, also
They all looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what Li Kuanglan meant by this move.
"Master Kuanglan, this matter is of great importance. Haven't we already discussed it?" Song Zining said. As soon as he said this, Yan Ding immediately snorted, extremely dissatisfied. The old man in the imperial family was also thoughtful. Obviously,
Song Zining and the aristocratic families headed by the Li family have long had a secret agreement, but they don't know how far the secret agreement covers. In addition, for some reason, it seems that Li Kuanglan does not intend to fulfill the secret agreement.
The elder of the Li family coughed and said: "Sir, what's wrong with you, you might as well tell me. The Seventh Young Master and my Li family have always been on good terms, and they have been very helpful recently. My wife has spoken highly of the Seventh Young Master."
Unexpectedly, Li Kuanglan stood up and loudly said: "It's just not right! If you want to talk, just continue talking, there is no need to look for me again!"
After saying that, he stood up with his sword and left the table.
Song Zining could not hide his astonishment, and the elders of the aristocratic family also looked confused, not understanding what went wrong. The Li family was old enough to have seen big scenes, so they smoothed things over and said: "Young Master Kuanglan has other important matters, please leave for a while, I
Let’s continue the discussion.”
Although Li Kuanglan has the highest status among the Li family in the Neutral Land, he is focused on martial arts and has no interest in other things and is unwilling to care about those trivial matters. Therefore, his presence or absence is just a symbol. The Li family
This elder was the one who did the actual work. So although Li Kuanglan suddenly left the table, everyone was stunned and continued to discuss.
As for why Li Kuanglan suddenly lost his temper, everyone is smart and would not ask no matter how curious they are.
Yan Ding suddenly said angrily: "You guys discuss it slowly, I think it's better for me to take the first step."
Song Zining smiled and said: "General Yan, why should we leave in a hurry? If we win this battle, the credit will be too great, no matter how much we divide it, it will not be less."
Yan Ding looked disdainful, but he couldn't move his feet.
Both the aristocratic family and the imperial family looked indifferent. At this time, everyone knew in their hearts that the battleship in Yan Ding's hands was taken away by Song Zining in some way, and it would never come back. So the battle against Chaocheng
, it doesn’t mean much whether Yan Dingshen participates, it’s just one more level 16 powerhouse. In the upcoming battle, the key is to contain Luo Bingfeng, which is a battle close to the king level. So whether Yan Ding,
It doesn't matter the final outcome.
However, Song Zining was still willing to share the credit with Yan Ding. Some old people nodded secretly, feeling that although the seventh son of the Song clan was young, he was experienced in handling affairs and would have great potential in the future. Unknowingly, their evaluation of Song Zining became higher again.
a bit.
Only those who are truly familiar with Song Zining will know that when Qi Shao smiles, no one knows what he is thinking.
