"The Imperial Army?" Song Zining thought about it, and then said, "Please wait in the living room, I'll be right there."
In the living room, Fang Zhan was sitting upright, with two attendants beside him. However, as soon as Song Zining entered the door, his eyes stopped on one of them, he paused, and greeted him, "General Lan, why do you change into this outfit?"
Lan Xincheng turned to the other party and said with a smile: "What, I said that I can't hide it from Young Master Qi, right? You still don't believe it."
Fang Zhan was still a little unconvinced, and said: "He has never seen you before, how can he recognize you at a glance?"
Song Zining didn't pretend to be a fool, and said with a smile: "There is a method in Tianjishu, which is similar to the insight of the original force. General Lan didn't deliberately pretend. In this way, with the sixteenth level of the original force, there are pieces of sharpness in the original force. Doesn’t it mean his signature golden needle in cotton?”
Fang Zhan gave a thumbs up, and said: "I am convinced, Seventh Young Master really has extraordinary eyesight! Usually, if the general does not use the force, I will not even be able to see the general's cultivation base."
"A little trick is nothing to worry about. In addition, Song is no longer a member of the Song Clan, and the ranking of the Seventh Young Master is no longer used. It is better for the two of you to just call me Zining."
"Mr. Zining, Mr. Lan will not be around the corner. One of the reasons why Mr. Lan came here is to exchange the remaining resources in the hands of General Qianye. The second is to send a message to see if Mr. Zining can help."
Song Zining said, "But it's okay to talk about it."
"Lan has brought a truly cutting-edge floating battleship this time, which is what he agreed with General Qianye last time."
Song Zining was slightly taken aback, "You really got that thing? As far as I know, there are only three battleships of this type in the empire, right?"
"There are still six ships in the shipyard, so there will be no shortage in the future. It's just that it is difficult to lose one at the moment."
Song Zining opened the folding fan, shook it lightly a few times, and said, "It's hard to lose one, but I still took one out. It seems that someone really wants that thing in Qianye's hand!"
"Exactly. So the empire is very sincere this time, and I would like to ask Mr. Zining to say a few words to facilitate this matter."
"Let's put this down first. What's the news you just said?"
Lan Xincheng waved another attendant out, lowered his voice, and said, "The empire is planning to use troops against the floating land in the near future!"
"Fulu? Isn't it still frozen there?" Song Zining frowned. Back then, he had personally participated in the Battle of the Floating Land, and experienced a complete process from almost occupying to fully retreating.
The various powerful families performed differently during the battle, but it was generally recognized that a turning point was the night when Qianye betrayed the empire.
On that sad night, despite Qianye's solid evidence of being a blood clan, the military didn't seem to have done anything wrong. But before that, who knew that Qianye was a blood clan. On the battlefield, everyone saw that he was born and died.
In recent years, the empire and the Eternal Night Council have launched several local wars. On the battlefield like a melting pot, Qianye, Zhao Jundu, Song Zining and others have gradually honed themselves into characters who can stand alone. Among the younger generation, Qianye is regarded as one of the most promising candidates to break through to the Heavenly King Realm.
In private, there have been rumors circulating that if the military department hadn't been troubled, maybe Qianye's blood clan identity would not have been exposed until the old age. In that case, what does it matter if Qianye is a blood race or a human race
In addition to the direct impact, Li Fengshui's method of exposing the incident also greatly touched the big families. There is only one reason, the military's hand is too long.
The Zhao Clan has already made it very clear that Qianye enjoys the treatment of the core direct descendants of the Zhao Clan in Yanyun. For this endorsement, it is not just Zhao Jundu who has repeatedly stated that he will protect him at all costs, but the Zhao Clan who really has Lord Youguo and Lord Cheng'en who have the right to speak. After Qianye killed Li Fengshui and fled, the Zhao faction was so obviously sidelined that not only did the big families have no objections, but they all expressed their dissatisfaction with the military department.
Conducting a secret investigation on the geniuses of the core direct line of the family like Qianye can be said to have touched the bottom line of the aristocratic family. If Zhao Clan Qianye can be investigated, which of the other aristocratic families will be spared? What's more, the method of the military department is really not classy, and they actually kidnapped people close to Qianye. If this method is used, how can everyone not be in danger? Qianye has a problem with his pedigree, what if he were replaced by someone else? What "evidence" will be found
The Military Department's hearing of Zhao Jundu was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Regardless of his personal combat power, development potential and status in the Zhao Clan, he was the youngest son of Princess Gaoyi, one of the only two daughters of the first emperor. Looking at the clans, clans and independent princes, how many people are more noble than him. The military department dared to make a move on him, is there anyone who dare not move
Sons and heirs are the foundation of the clan, once this incident happened, even those aristocratic families who were secretly flirting with the military could not help but feel a chill down their backs.
Therefore, in the short period of time when the military took over Zhao Jundu's front, the performance of the family's private army plummeted. The Zhao faction was even more demoralized, unable to shrink back. On the other hand, the aristocratic families intentionally or unintentionally cut off the support and rescue of the legions directly under the military headquarters, and started their own ideas of sweeping the door.
The empire was inherently weak, so they couldn't stand fighting on their own, and the battle immediately collapsed, and they were beaten to the core defense line of the Zhao Clan, only to be held back by Zhao Jundu who hurried back to clean up the mess led by the army.
While the ground battle is unfavorable, the air battle situation is even more critical. When the aristocratic families encountered a stronger attack, they retreated their private warships one after another, and in the end they could only be led by the emperor's guard fleet. The private army can retreat, but the forbidden army cannot.
After several fierce battles in a row, the Imperial Guard Fleet, which received little cooperation, suffered heavy losses. Although the battle damage of Yong Ye's side was greater, the dark race's fleet continued to flow, while the imperial guard fleet was isolated and helpless. After losing nearly one-third of the warships, the Imperial Guard Fleet finally couldn't hold on, and retreated to the sky above the Unfallable City, giving up the airspace of the entire floating land.
The fiasco in outer space made the entire imperial family furious, and the emperor was even more furious.
But the anger is the anger, and the emperor's family has nothing to do with this situation. The military department crossed the line first, but the reason for those small actions at the beginning was a coincidence with the plan to cut down the feudal clan, not to mention the fact that Qianye's crimes are conclusive. On the other hand, the imperial family did not have direct command over the family's private army, and it was not the first time for each family to protect themselves. Passive avoidance of war and weakening the imperial family's forbidden army were also traditional means for each family to express their dissatisfaction.
In the past, when it reached a certain level, there would be a celestial king or a marshal-level person in charge to take care of the overall situation, but this time the fuse started from the twin stars of the Zhao Clan, and even the marshal would not be able to hold back. However, King Zhiji and King Qingyang remained silent, and Lin Xitang was rumored to have suffered repeated attacks of injuries. Now he does not know that he is in Beifu or in the imperial capital. The rest of the marshals did not have Lin Xitang's skills, and none of them wanted to make fun of themselves.
After all, it turned into a muddled book. In the end, the emperor had nowhere to vent his anger, so he had to dismiss the commander of the Imperial Guard Fleet. But there are only a few people in the empire who are good at air combat. Li Guogong, who commands the imperial guard fleet, is already recognized as one of the best commanders by the two camps. No matter who they change, they will not be better than Li Guogong.
In Song Zining's view, there was no solution to such a situation, so he left the floating land battlefield and went to a neutral place to look for Qianye.
Now that Lan Xincheng said that the empire would use troops against Fulu again, Song Zining's first thought was that it was impossible. But with Lan Xincheng's status and personality, he doesn't know how to talk nonsense, so Song Zining sat down and thought he might as well listen.
Just as Lan Xincheng was about to speak, there was a knock on the door, and the attendant outside said: "Lord Qianye is back."
Song Zining stood up and said, "Master Qianye, please come here."
Then he said to Lan Xin again: "Would you mind listening to Qianye together?"
Lan Xincheng hurriedly said: "How could it be? This matter originally required Lord Qianye's help."
After a while, Qianye pushed the door open and entered. Seeing the two people in the room, he was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "You guys came quickly."
Lan Xincheng and Fang Zhan stood up to greet each other, first stated the intention of the transaction, and then said: "The empire wants to use troops against Fulu, and I ask the two adults to help."
Qianye and Song Zining glanced at each other, and said, "This matter is a bit difficult. To be honest, I just heard that the general's stronghold and Anzi in Chaocheng were uprooted. Under such circumstances, we can still cooperate ?”
Lan Xincheng smiled instead of anger: "Two different things, two different things, the army's settlements in neutral grounds are all from the right-wing forces. General Qianye will pull them out. I think some adults will not blame them, but will secretly I feel happy. Even the old prince will just ignore it. After all, you are the one who helped the old man at the most critical point."
"So, I did the right thing instead?" Qianye sarcastically.
Lan Xincheng was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Of course, under the current situation, the timing is just right. You and the right minister have a deep grudge. If you are not killed, I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress the backlash of the people below. But Since it is a entrapment, you can't do it openly, and you can't do it during a big event. For example, this is a big event for the whole country, who would dare to do it to you?"
Qianye raised his eyebrows, while Song Zining next to him turned into a half-smile.
There was obviously no point in talking with Lan Xincheng any longer. After Qianye sat down, he offered his seat to the two of them and said, "Let's talk about what's going on first."
"The empire hopes that you and Master Zi Ning can lead the fleet to attack, defeat the defense line of the Eternal Night Fleet, and after rounding the floating land side, cooperate with the frontal attacking army to attack Huanglong and drive the dark race out of the floating land in one fell swoop!"
While talking, Lan Xincheng took out a proposal and handed it over. The seal of the file bag is an extremely delicate mechanism design, each gear is as thin as a hair.
Song Zining is very familiar with this kind of design. This kind of encryption method is more reliable than ordinary rock core jade books. The mechanical device is also a special seal. The unique material and high technical requirements prevent forgery, and the mechanical device is one-time. Opening it again can only be cracked violently, and it also prevents strong people from reading the content with beyond-limit force. It is used to deliver written documents, and there is almost no possibility of being stolen halfway.
Song Zining reached out and unscrewed the mechanical lock, took out the document inside, and read it carefully.
This is a carefully drawn-up battle plan, closely linked, delicate and majestic, Song Zining couldn't help but hold his breath when he saw it.
Qianye also knew a thing or two about military strategy. Looking at it from the side, he also felt that the arrows representing the assault route on the map became heavy, making it hard to breathe.
Song Zining read it several times before Fang said, "Everyone's handwriting!"
Lan Xincheng said: "It's rare to be praised by Mr. Zining."
Song Zining said seriously: "General Lan's words are wrong. I am not praising, but admiring! The person who can draw up this plan is definitely above me. Even after ten years, I dare not say that I can Reach the level of this person today. Looking at the empire, there should be no more than one person like this."
Lan Xincheng was slightly startled, and praised: "Mr. Zining really has good eyesight! To be honest, this plan came from Lin Xitang and Lin Shuai."
"Shuai Lin?!" Song Zining and Qianye's expressions changed slightly, the weight of this plan was different from just now.
Song Zining and Qianye reread the entire plan again. To be honest, when they watched it before, they had a common thought, that is, although the plan is good, the requirements for execution are also extremely high. Not to mention Song Zining, even Qianye discovered that several key points are extremely risky, and need to be fine-tuned and negotiated before implementation. But if this plan comes from Lin Xitang, it means that there must be other arrangements or backhands.
Even so, Song Zining still looked serious. There is a thin red line with a special mark on the plan. First, there is a battle in outer space, and then it bypasses the battlefield and goes straight to the base camp of the dark race on the other side of the floating land. This red line is Qianye and Song Zining's marching route.
Song Zining suddenly raised his head and asked, "How is Commander Lin doing now?"
