Chapter 184 The Three-Day Covenant
For the two Maharajas, it was barely acceptable to be treated differently by the Blood Throne. The Eternal Flame of Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is also in charge of the famous spear, and its own strength is above everyone else, even in a neutral place, the Blood Throne will be at a disadvantage. And the Eternal Flame only takes three days, which is easy to meet.
The Eternal Flame is not too demanding, and it is willing to accept some constraints, which is also afraid of the strength of the Blood Throne. He himself was not afraid of the Blood Throne, but now that a large number of demons were operating in the neutral land, both sides really wanted to tear their faces, and even the Eternal Flame would not be able to keep all the people safe.
The Shattered Passage is notoriously deadly, and even if the Eternal Flame is nearby, there is no way to rescue it.
The compromise between the Eternal Flame and the Blood Throne was that the most difficult thing to accept was that Medanzo and Lothar did not know what the Eternal Flame was going to do during the three days. Although the Spider Demon and the Blooddin each have their own troops to enter the Neutral Lands, who has the ability to monitor the Eternal Flame except for the two Lords?
It's too easy for the Demon Spawn to make some small moves behind his back.
The more this happened, the more curious Medanzo and Lothar were as to why the Demon Spawn had to take these two more spots.
With an agreement with the Blood Throne, the fleets of the three clans became one, deep into the Neutral Lands. Both Medanzo and Lothar's ships remained on the outer edge of the neutral land, awaiting the outcome of the operation.
The news of the arrival of the Eternal Night Alliance quickly spread throughout the entire neutral place, and for a while, all the large and small forces were like frightened birds, fully retreating, hiding in the lair and not daring to come out. I don't know where the news came out that the Demon Giant Eternal Flame is in the fleet of the Eternal Night Alliance, and it has penetrated deep into the neutral land.
Hearing this news, all the powerhouses in the entire neutral land were silent, and no one had any extra thoughts. No matter how many restrictions the Demon Descendants have in the Neutral Land, no matter how familiar these strong people are with the Neutral Land, they are by no means the opponent of a Monarch who wields a famous spear. Since that great war hundreds of years ago, there has never been such a place of deep neutrality as the Maharaja of the Eternal Night.
For a while, while shrinking, many people openly scolded and mocked the Blood Throne, and refused to allow the Heavenly King and the Great King to be outside the country, which was the rule set by the Blood Throne, but now that the eternal flame comes, isn't the Blood Throne the same cowardice?
These people have forgotten that when the Eternal Night was about to occupy the entire neutral place, it was the one who was born out of thin air, killed the Eternal Night army in a river of blood, and was forced to retreat, so that there was the later Blood Throne, and there was also the rule that the Great King was not allowed to enter.
Frightened or gloating, the vast fleet of the Eternal Night swept slowly but surely across the neutral land and sailed straight to the East China Sea like a dark cloud that obscured the sky.
The news also spread to Nanqing City, and the heads of all parties in the empire gathered around Song Zining for a while, wanting to ask for a countermeasure. Only at this moment did they truly appreciate Song Zining's indispensability. The future god of the empire is not just a boastful name, it is a genuine praise backed by many past achievements. At this critical moment, even the future god of the army is also the god of the army, which can always give people psychological comfort.
The combat command room was crowded with people, and people with a bit of knowledge tried their best to squeeze in, wanting to hear with their own ears what Song Zining had to do.
It wasn't until ten minutes after the scheduled meeting time that Song Zining was late. He walked through the crowd, came to the conference table, sat down in the main seat without concession, and said: "Now is indeed a critical moment, this young man is the commander of this battle, and he should plan to retreat from the enemy." It's just that before making a suggestion, what good is Ben Shao?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
As the commander of one side, but openly asked for benefits before the war, Song Zining can be regarded as the first in the empire. At that moment, an old man was filled with righteous indignation, and he took the case and rebuked: "How can this be reasonable! The empire has given you great authority and fame, what other benefits do you want? If every soldier is like you, then how can the empire be founded? If you are like this, you are not afraid of disgrace to the ancestors and ancestors of the Song Dynasty?"
Some of the people agreed, some shook their heads, and some people got up and pulled the old man, and said softly: "Don't be impatient, and listen to what Qishao says, it's not too late to discuss." ”
The old man said angrily: "What else do you want to listen to? He is doing something perverse! How can he let such a person steal a high position again?"
Someone's face sank, and he said coldly: "Elder Lu, it doesn't matter if your Lu family is not afraid of death, we still want our lives!
Someone else sneered: "Elder Lu, you don't let Qi Shao speak, what is your intention? But there are many people here who have big families and big careers, and they are all counting on Qi Shao!"
Elder Lu suddenly blocked his chest in one breath, and he was speechless for a while. He flicked the sleeve of his robe hard, and said angrily: "Okay, my Lu family will not participate, and I will go back to the empire!"
But a few people got up and stopped at the door. Elder Lu's face changed and he said, "Elder Chen, what do you mean by this?"
Opposite was an old man with dough, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Besides, if you leave like this, if any secrets are leaked in the future, won't they all be wronged on you, brother?" Therefore, for the sake of all things, why don't Brother Lu stay for a while longer, and then return to the empire together when the war is over?"
Elder Lu's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Is this to put me under house arrest?"
Elder Chen laughed and said, "Everyone is working for the Empire, what are you talking about? Elder Lu really wants to leave, and we will never stop it." It's just that if something happens to the Lu family in the future, it won't be good. ”
The threat of these words could not be more obvious, Elder Lu snorted, sat down in his seat, and never said a word again.
Elder Chen arched his hand to Song Zining and said, "Seven Young Men want benefits, there is a reason for that. It's just that everyone is a little confused in their hearts, whether Qi Shao will talk about it, and why he wants this benefit. Just be reasonable, we want people to come out, ask for money to give money, there is no other thing. ”
Song Zining said with a smile: "Elder Chen is an understanding person, let's put it this way, Ben Shao has broken away from the Song valve, and he has been a little tight recently, and he needs some money, money, and food, I don't know if it's okay?"
Elder Chen didn't think about it, and said, "It turns out that the Seven Young Men are asking for a salary, okay! My Chen family will give 10,000 gold coins first, and the Seven Young will spend it first." ”
Elder Chen's expression was so happy that everyone was surprised. However, after a little thought, everyone understood, and there was a humane at the moment: "My Wei family gave 8,000 gold coins." ”
At this time, Elder Li suddenly said, "I respect the Tang Li clan and give 100,000 gold coins. ”
As soon as these words came out, the conference room fell silent for a while. The Li family is a high-grade family, and has always had the ambition to win the door valve. As the commander of the Li family in a neutral place, Elder Li is also willing to contribute, and it is a large amount of money when he opens his mouth, and the meaning of this is worth thinking carefully.
At this time, Father-in-law Zhang also said: "The funds in the palace are all His Majesty's money, and our family has no right to embezzle." However, in the past few decades, our family has saved some money, which cannot be compared with the Li family, only 50,000, I hope that the seven young people will not be disgusted. ”
The crowd was shocked again. Even Gonggong Zhang of the Imperial Palace said so, although he didn't know what Song Zining was asking for money, but it was already very clear what to do. At the moment, everyone is scrambling to pay for it. Those who had reported the number before also felt that it was a little less, so they hurriedly changed their words and added them. In the blink of an eye, a huge sum of nearly one million was scraped together.
Elder Lu was restless at the moment, he had already seen that he was afraid that he was being used as a pawn to test Song Zining's reaction. As the Li family and the imperial palace successively expressed their positions, the situation has become clear, and the Lu family has obviously been sacrificed and abandoned.
His face turned red and white, and he suddenly got up and said in a loud voice: "My Lu family is weak, but I am also willing to contribute, just 20,000!"
The family was silent for a while, and the conference room was suddenly harmonious.
After the joy, everyone gradually quieted down, and they all looked at Song Zining, waiting for the following. Song Zining was not in a hurry, and turned to Gonggong Zhang and asked, "I don't know when Ben Shao will receive the money?" If the gold coins are not enough, it doesn't matter if you use treasures to offset them. ”
All the families were dumbfounded, but they didn't expect Song Zining to be so shameless. Father-in-law Zhang didn't care, and said with a smile: "No one will bring those burdens on their bodies, so naturally they are treasures." Our family has a superb treasure jade in our hands, which was given by the first emperor. How can it be worth fifty or sixty thousand, and this is paid for seven, how about it?"
Song Zining arched his hand and smiled: "Then how embarrassing?"
Zhang Gonggong said: "If the seventh young man refuses, he will not take our family in his eyes." ”
"Alas, it's deserved, it's deserved!" Song Zining shook his head as he took Baoyu and put it in his arms. Look at that crisp and neat energy, how can you be ashamed of it?
Everyone understands that empty talk will not be successful, and they can't avoid showing cowardice on the spot. So he gritted his teeth and looked for treasures that could be filled, and for a while, Song Zining was full of treasures in front of him, and they were full of dazzling.
Song Zining smiled from ear to ear, those who came did not refuse, accepted them all, and then ordered someone to move to the residence, then sat down, coughed, and opened the folding fan, as if he had the appearance of a future military god.
All the families were more or less bleeding, and they all held their breath to see what they had bought back at a great cost.
The old god Song Zining said in the tunnel: "This time, the alliance of the three clans of Eternal Night, and the Eternal Flame are in charge, it is really powerful, and we naturally can't fight hard, so we have to temporarily avoid the front." ”
At the moment, many people are secretly scolding nonsense in their hearts, do you still need to say this?
However, Song Zining folded the fan and shook it lightly, and said, "However, although the Eternal Night Alliance is powerful, it cannot last. In my opinion, we should first withdraw from Nanqingcheng, retreat 300 kilometers to set camp, and wait for three days. Three days later, the Eternal Flame will depart on its own, and it will not be too late to make a decision at that time. ”
Everyone was shocked, and some people couldn't help but ask, "How can Qi Shao conclude that the Eternal Flame will leave in three days?"
Song Zining said with a smile: "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it must not be revealed." Whether what Ben Shao said was right or wrong will be known in three days. ”
