The final political discussion is very simple. Each person first writes a political strategy for governing the country and the family, and then accepts inquiries from the elders, and finally the elders give a score.
This link is the most transparent. During the inquiry, all the disciples who refer to it can listen in, but it is also the most controversial part. Everyone advocates conservativeness, some advocates radical expansion, and some advocates the golden mean. There are different views and different opinions. If you want to get the approval of most elders, you need considerable strength.
Song Zining was much more relaxed and comfortable. He concocted a political strategy at will, dealt with the inquiries, and ran back to his own courtyard without waiting for the results, ready to enjoy the tenderness. In the past two days, someone gave him two little beauties again, which are said to be rare objects of inner flattery.
However, Qianye didn't want to mess around with Song Zining any more, and was still hurrying to read the classics of martial arts. Now his reading scope has expanded to the basic skills of various melee weapons.
So in the other courtyard of "Yunshentang", Song Zining hugged the two newly acquired beauties, Hu Tian and Hu Di, while Qian Ye was sitting in the study and reading classics, with Shi Qi, who had a relationship with him overnight, beside him. He waited quietly, and changed Qianye to a cup of tea every once in a while.
Qianye suddenly felt that such a moment was indeed a kind of enjoyment, warm and peaceful, where he could concentrate on forging ahead in the way of martial arts without having to think about worldly troubles.
At this time, the study door was pushed open, and Song Zining walked in with a happy face, and smiled as soon as he entered the door: "Your life is not bad either!"
Qianye looked up at him, and said, "You do this every day, aren't you afraid of wasting your cultivation?"
It had been more than ten days since the two of them came to the Song Clan to the end of the final exam. Song Zining hadn't practiced yet. He went out to meet friends almost every day, and when he came back late at night, he often smelled of alcohol and makeup.
Song Zining sat down on a large glazed couch across from the desk, half-lyed on the back, and said after making himself comfortable, "Being rash is also one of the ways. Besides, I only did this when I returned to the clan." , usually very restrained."
Qianye sighed, since the days of Huangquan training camp, the little Song Zining has been unable to read emotions on his face. At that time, his brows were full of the indifference and arrogance of a top student, as well as the hostility that would never allow offense. The students who died at his hands were definitely more than those killed by Qianye.
When they met a few years later, Song Zining had almost turned into a different person, like a child of the most standard aristocratic family, gentle as jade, with a bright temperament, but in fact it was just a mask that showed neither emotions nor anger.
It was only after Qianye came to the Song family this time that he realized how this noble son of a noble family became what he is today. At the end of the martial arts exam, Qianye wanted to talk to Song Zining, but he was not good at words, so he didn't know how to speak.
Qianye put down the jade slip in his hand, glanced at Shi Qi, the girl understood immediately, and obediently exited the study, and carefully closed the door.
Song Zining rested his eyes with half-closed eyes, did not speak, and there was a moment of silence in the study.
"Zining, will you be in trouble next time? Do you have any plans?"
Song Zining didn't open his eyes, and said casually, "After this big exam, my successor ranking may be in the top three. Such a good thing, what trouble will I have?"
"Can Song Zian and his elder be willing to suffer this loss?" Qianye believed that the great elder Song Zhongcheng really wanted to kill him on the spot, and that Mrs. An's subsequent punishment of their entire family would only deepen this hatred. become insoluble.
Song Zining laughed softly, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and also covered all the expressions on his face, and said calmly: "So what if you are not willing, they only have a few bargaining chips. The Yin family, Yin Qiqi has to work hard if she wants to be in the top position." Right. The Marquis Bowang of the Wei family won’t care about such things. As for the wild boar, we’ll wait until he survives the battlefield this time..."
Song Zining's voice stopped suddenly, realizing that he had slipped up.
He put down his hand, looked at Qianye's expression, and said with a smile: "Twenty days ago, the Wei family suffered a big defeat on the front line in the Far East. It is said that Wei Potian was also in the army at that time. Now their battle is very serious. Nervous, it is estimated that when you return to Heiliu City in two days, Wei Bainian will be called back by my family."
Qianye was taken aback. The Far East province where the Wei family was located was a frontier fortress, where they fought against the dark race all the year round.
Among the news that Song Zining revealed, to Qianye, the most important thing was not Wei Potian's safety. It is impossible for the heir of the Wei family to go to the battlefield without protection measures. But when Wei Bainian left, it meant that the expeditionary force would appoint a new division commander.
But with the Wu Zhengnan incident first, regardless of whether the expeditionary army headquarters knew that Qianye had participated in that incident, the relationship between the new division commander and Qianye could not be better just because the dark fire mercenary group and the Wei family were so close. where to go.
However, Qianye was not distracted by Song Zining, and only said, "Even if you think Song Zian is not a threat, what about Song Ziqi? He was the one who wanted to kill you, right?"
Song Zining's lazy posture disappeared at this time, he sat up straight, and said calmly: "Don't worry about me, the ancestors will not let them do too much in the clan, as for going outside, I will still be afraid that they will fail ?”
"why?"
Seeing that Qianye must get an answer this time, Song Zining said indifferently: "Perhaps, it's because I was thrown out to marry a nobleman. Oh, there is also a reason for the evaluation of my talent level."
Qianye couldn't help taking a deep breath. Even if he had guessed something, it was still extremely uncomfortable to hear Song Zining tell the truth in such a nonchalant tone.
Back then, Song Zining's talent evaluation was obviously artificially lowered, and many of the resources that should have been allocated were given to others. This may be an inevitable part of family strife, but when it falls on oneself, it still makes people feel that the law of heaven is unfair.
Although Song Zining smiled, his eyes were cold, "But I have made up my mind, no matter what, I will never fight for the position of the lord. This land is decayed, and it is difficult to build high-rise buildings. Why don't I go out and open up a piece of land by myself?" new frontiers."
Qianye smiled wryly, if Song Zining was so open-minded, he wouldn't be restless these days. "In that case, what else is on your mind?"
Song Zining was stunned for a moment, fell silent, and said after a while: "It's really bad, it seems that you can always see the emotions." He said frankly this time: "I regret it, Qianye, I shouldn't have dragged you in. "
Qianye smiled and said, "I have gained a lot this time."
What he said was definitely not to comfort Song Zining, the heavenly training room, the heavy sword Dongyue, three rounds of silver refining bullets, the equipment of a reinforcement company and the heavy-duty trucks of the entire battalion, this is something that an ordinary mercenary captain can't accumulate in a lifetime. down the wealth. And the one who helped Qianye the most was the Song Clan's collection of books. Many basic martial arts made up for his last shortcoming, and he just waited to gradually integrate them in the future.
Now that he had spoken, Song Zining no longer concealed his emotions, and said, "I still didn't see the situation clearly. Originally, you didn't have to fight to the death in the arena."
"Zining, you're overthinking. There is no difference between life and death on the battlefield or in the arena." Qianye knew that Song Zining didn't take this big exam seriously at first, and he didn't let the death threat from Song Ziqi go. on heart.
In fact, no matter Song Zian or Song Ziqi, Song Zining didn't plan to kill him at first. No matter how good he is at making decisions, he always has a weakness that he is not aware of towards his blood relatives. However, what happened before and after this big exam made Song Zining clearly see a reality, that it is not possible to be at ease without fighting, unless he is willing to be mediocre all his life.
"Qianye."
"Um?"
"Let's go to Yongye together and build a country, a country built according to the ideals in our hearts."
"… good."
At this moment, in the "Lianxin Xiaozhu" where Mrs. An Guogong lives in "Wendao Manor", someone is discussing the two of them.
This small building is called Xiaozhu, but it actually covers a large area, including an artificial lake. A banquet is being held in the main hall. There is only one table in the banquet, and there are only five people at the table, but every guest is very important.
Mrs. An Guogong sat on the main seat, and next to her was a middle-aged man with a white face, long eyebrows and fine eyes, and a graceful air, while Song Zhongnian, the leader of the Song Clan, Elder Lu, and another elder of the Song family were all at the bottom. to accompany. Judging from being able to sit at the table, the identity of this old Lu is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.
Mrs. An Guogong first said: "Prince Rui has worked hard these few days. The poor performance of the juniors made you laugh."
This middle-aged man is indeed Prince Rui of the Empire, and also the nephew of His Majesty. Although he could not be said to be extremely powerful in the court, he was also a figure with extremely high status. Even only a few people in the Song clan knew that there were people from the imperial family watching the ten-year exam.
Prince Rui said with a smile: "The old ancestor is serious. This generation of young disciples have several talents that can be cultivated. As for the lack of experience in fighting, it doesn't matter. In the future, they will be sharpened naturally when they go to the battlefield, so don't worry about it now."
"What does Your Highness think of An Renyi, who is number one in the martial arts exam?" Elder Lu asked.
Prince Rui was also deeply impressed by Qianye who won the first place, and immediately said: "That child's talent is naturally very good, but it's a pity that he hasn't carved it well. His talent is extremely special. At the beginning, he had the 'morning light' The image, but it is not the morning star supported by the sun, it turned into a sky full of flames, and finally condensed into the form of light wings, I really have limited experience, I have never heard of this kind of talent."
Everyone present couldn't help discussing a few words, but no one had an answer. In fact, when Mrs. An Guogong had a head-on confrontation with Zhuyue in Dongyue, she discovered the dark force entangled in the sword's edge. Qianye's Dawn Origin Force is rich and pure, and at the eighth level he can induce the Origin Force of Heaven and Earth, which shows that he is indeed extremely talented.
Prince Rui said with some regret: "But after all, he is not a child of the family, and he missed the time to lay the foundation. If I read correctly, his way of operating the original force is actually Bingjue. A soldier king who has cultivated to the ninth level, physically The hidden dangers are too great. Even if you become a warrior in the future, how far you can go depends on luck."
Bingjue is the fastest success method for the human race, but the biggest hidden danger is the damage to the practitioner's body. A ninth-level soldier king like Qianye has almost reached the end. If you continue to practice, your body will collapse before you are thirty . Even if he changed his skills and repaired his hidden injuries before that, it would almost inevitably damage his foundation and affect his achievements after becoming a warrior.
Prince Rui still had one more sentence, for the sake of the Song Clan's face, he didn't say it.
