Monarch of Evernight

Chapter 457: bottom line

Views:

After accompanying Song Zining into the living room and introducing each other, Qianye was shocked to discover that this old man who had been hanging out for a long time and drank several pots of tea into white water was actually an elder of the Song Clan.

Compared with other aristocratic families, the elders of the Song Clan have much more authority, especially now that Mrs. An Guogong's wife can't retreat and the real power of the lord is insufficient, any member of the Presbyterian Church actually has the influence to control one party's clan affairs.

This elder named Song Qisi was from Mrs. An Guogong's generation. In terms of seniority, he was still higher than the lord Song Zhongnian, and three generations higher than Song Zining. So when seeing him, Song Zining had to respectfully call "Grand Uncle". Even the two nephews and nephews brought by Song Qisi were two generations older than Song Zining, and they were all direct descendants of the same family.

But when Qianye saw the scene in front of him, he felt inexplicably weird, and even couldn't help but want to laugh.

Song Zining was very polite and respectful in person, but in fact, he left this great-uncle here and went to the study to paint landscapes in ink and wash. If Qianye hadn't come back just in time, the old man would have waited to see the progress of the painting, and during the entire waiting period, there was no other entertainment except for a few pots of tea.

This etiquette is a bit interesting.

Qianye roughly guessed what Song Zining was thinking, and didn't say anything, just found a seat and sat down, quietly watching what would happen.

"Zining! It's not that my great-uncle said you. You really did not do it right! How can young people forget their ancestors and be ungrateful?"

Song Qisi was at least over eighty years old. Given his seniority and age, it didn't seem too much to rely on his old age to reprimand Song Zining. However, Qianye, who was on the sidelines, frowned slightly. He could tell that Song Qisi's original force was only at the twelfth or third level. He had lived such a big age and still only had this little strength. Considering the background and resources of the Song Clan, it was really mediocre. extreme.

After all, the Song Clan is one of the Four Clans, and it is also a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. Even if the bloodline strength is not as good as that of the Zhang and Zhao Clans who stand with the country, it is by no means inferior to the general top-ranking families. Talented children like Song Zining have existed from generation to generation. It's just that once you have talent, whether you can grow it is another matter.

After taking the Song Clan's ten-year exam, Qianye had a clear understanding of the Song Clan's disciples. Except for a few people like Song Zining, most of the children of the Song Clan are pampered and pampered, lacking the heart to work hard and strive for progress, but they are chasing fame and wealth. With their secret combat skills and massive resources, their level is still at a reasonable level, but very few of them have real combat power that can exceed their level, and this is actually useless for dignified families.

With Song Qisi's strength, Qianye felt that he could easily take him down, but he really didn't understand why he had the confidence to reprimand Song Zining like this? Is it really relying on the power of the Song clan? Now the Song Clan, what prestige can there be

Qianye's complexion changed, which was immediately noticed by Song Qisi and others. If you can see it, you can see it, and Qianye doesn't feel that he needs to hide it.

But the person standing beside Song Qisi was immediately annoyed, and said angrily: "The elders of the Song Clan are lecturing, there is no place for you mere soldiers to make eyebrows! Slap your mouth!"

Before he finished speaking, the man actually slapped Qianye's face with a real slap!

Not only Qianye was stunned, even Song Zining was stunned. This person is a direct descendant of the family, an eleventh-level general, and is two generations higher than Song Zining in terms of seniority. According to the strict hierarchy within the aristocratic family, it is common for him to scold and beat the juniors and serve as subordinates.

However, this is not the Song Clan.

There was only a slap, and the one who flew out was of course the one who did it, with more than a dozen teeth erupting from his mouth. Qianye's slap was not light! Then he stretched out his hand and pressed it falsely, the man flew halfway, and was suddenly slapped on the floor like a fly by an invisible big hand, a mouthful of blood spewed out immediately, and passed out.

Qianye's hands were pressed in the air, and he was also stunned, as if he couldn't believe his achievements. He turned his head to look at Song Zining, and asked suspiciously: "This... is so weak, is it really the general of your Song Clan?"

Song Zining covered his face with a fan, couldn't bear to look directly, and sighed, "It's not that he's too weak, it's you... alas! It's just a slap in the face, do you need to use your... some trick?"

Only then did Qianye suddenly realize, and said, "Ah! It came in handy."

He has always supported battles by fighting, and spent most of his solid state after promotion in battles. This time, he was no exception after receiving the inheritance of Taixuan Bingjue. Now he has integrated his fighting instincts, and he can attack when he thinks. When he was attacked, he had already slapped him instinctively before he even thought about it.

But Qianye immediately frowned again, he still felt that this person was too weak, to the point where he couldn't bear to look directly at him. Not only is it incomparable with the same level warriors of the Nangong family, but even a decent knight in the dark kingdom may have stronger combat power than him.

Song Qisi and another nephew stayed there. They had never experienced such a scene, they were shocked and angry, and it was hard for them to react. Song Qisi stood up vigorously, and shouted: "Little Huangkou, how dare you act wildly on my Song Clan's head! The old man turned his palms..."

Song Qisi hadn't finished his sentence when a folding fan suddenly opened in front of him, blocking his sight, so all his eyes were a picture of a lady in spring on the fan. Song Qisi's old face suddenly turned red, and he stared at one of the ladies.

This painting of ladies traveling in spring is extremely exquisite, each young girl moves with wind, and her clothes are flying, as if she came to life. That's all. One of the key points is that the girls wear very little clothes, showing a lot of spring color. This is not a spring outing, but rather a bath. The second key point is that one of the girls has a lotus-like face and is so charming that she is exactly the same as a great-great-grandson girl of Song Qisi.

Song Qisi now understood no matter what, this most beloved great-great-granddaughter probably had some unclear relationship with Song Zining. He originally hoped to send her to the imperial palace so that he could find a future, but when he saw this picture, he knew that all his painstaking efforts were in vain.

"You, you..." Song Qisi pointed at Song Zining, too angry to speak.

Song Zining put away the folding fan, pointed at Qianye with a half-smile, and said, "Grand Uncle, I just introduced this Lord Qianye as the deputy head of the Dark Fire Independent Division, but you don't know that he is the black stream The real owner of the city. My business here is nothing more than helping him."

Song Qisi was dubious when he heard the words, his eyes flickered.

The Song Clan didn't know about Song Zining's outside industry before. He knew that his investment in the Heiliu City war zone originated from the Ye Mulan case, and Song Zining's ownership of Heiliu City's rights and interests was the reason he used this reason to openly conflict with the Nangong family. be determined.

Of course, the Song Clan had also inquired about it before they came, and the current commander of the Heiliu City Expeditionary Army dispatch division is the Zhao Clan Zhao Yuying. But in the empire, for the convenience of the general manager, it is very common for a piece of property to be named as a child of a powerful family. Zhao Yuying and the Zhao clan have never appeared in the Heiliu battle from the beginning to the end, so it can be seen that this is an irrelevant detail. .

Of course Song Qisi thought the same way, and there were some clues on his face.

Song Zining glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Grand Uncle, Sir Qianye not long ago beheaded the leader of the Dark Army, the first-class Viscount Luther, who is a demon descendant. Don't take it seriously."

Song Qisi's cheeks twitched, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. He already understood Song Zining's meaning. He even beheaded the first-class viscount of the demon descendant. Isn't it just a few tricks to kill an old man like him? Thinking about it a little deeper, most of the hundreds of millions of warriors in the empire are the children of powerful families, what is the background of this Qianye

Song Qisi had already raised one hand halfway, and was going to "turn the palm" to teach Qianye a lesson, but this palm was turned over, and the lesson was that he never dared.

However, he is also an old man, his face changed, and he shouted to the other person: "What are you still doing, drag your cousin out quickly! After you go back, you will punish him slowly!"

The man was stunned, not daring to disobey, and quickly carried his unconscious cousin out.

When Song Qisi turned his head again, his face was already filled with a bright smile, and he said to Qianye: "Sure enough, a young hero, and our Zining are talented and good friends."

He changed his face so quickly that Qianye was also amazed. The two sat down again and started talking again. This time Song Qisi was a lot more honest, knowing that Song Zining and Qianye had no respect for his identity, so he didn't dare to rely on his elders anymore, and directly explained his intentions.

Song Qisi's trip was not a whim, but indeed represented the Song Clan Presbyterian Church. The resolution of the Council of Elders this time has two main meanings. One is to severely reprimand and reprimand Song Zining for arbitrarily recording the military exploits of the Heiliu War into the name of the Zhao Clan, and punish him accordingly.

Qianye's expression changed again, he heard correctly, the Song Clan Presbyterian Council had indeed taken punitive measures against Song Zining. One is to lower Song Zining's heirs to three, take back all family affairs, deduct one year's salary from the family, and freeze all private property related to Song Zining and the Song Clan, and return it after the punishment period is over.

The deduction of the annual salary can be ignored, and it is not a big deal for the heir to be downgraded, anyway, Song Zining Zhi is not here. But the frozen assets are not a small number, including a mine and two large factories on the territory of the Song clan.

Fortunately, Song Zining's Ningyuan Heavy Industry does not depend much on the Song Clan, and not long ago, it moved a large part of its production base to the Yongye Continent. Otherwise, it seems that it is not only the assets related to the Song Clan, but also on the bright side. Seventy-eight out of ten of his foundation will be withheld.

Qianye looked at his friend's unchanged face, but he clearly felt the heavy haze after that calmness. This former classmate of Huang Quan was never a kind person who was easy to bully, but blood kinship was always bound, even if he was as free and easy as Song Zining, he had to walk so hard.

Song Zining seemed to sense Qianye's gaze, raised his head and smiled at him, then shook his head slightly.

Qianye understood what he meant. The Song Clan's actions had already crossed Song Zining's bottom line, and he was by no means a person waiting to be killed. He just let Song Qisi finish his sentence first and see where the Song Clan's bottom line was.

Song Qisi may have been sitting in a high position for a long time, and he didn't seem to notice the difference in the expressions of the two, and they were still talking freely.

The second meaning of the Song Clan Presbyterian Council is to formally set up the Heiliu War Zone for the Song Clan's bloody battle, and Song Zining will continue to lead the dark fire battle. All meritorious service in the Heiliu War Zone must be recorded in the name of the Song Clan, and must not be handed over to outsiders in private. In addition, the three nearby teams of the Song Clan will also be incorporated. The children of the Song Clan who were originally in charge of the three teams will assist Song Zining and command military affairs.

"Assist?" After listening, Song Zining sneered and asked one more question.
