Ever since the mysterious demon escaped, Qianye knew that he might have encountered real trouble. This demon descendant was extremely talented, his combat skills were not inferior to Zhao Jundu's, and he was obviously born noble. The two one-time secret treasures that were destroyed by Qianye alone were invaluable. At least Qianye has never had such a good thing.
What's worse is that this demon seems to have little combat experience and lacks actual combat experience. But after suffering such a big loss, you will definitely learn from the pain and keep sharpening yourself. It didn't take long before Qianye would appear in front of a brand new opponent.
From this point of view, this guy is even scarier than Aiden. Although Aiden's talent is high, he can see the limit no matter what. And this demon descendant is a rare genius in the world, and his future is limitless.
This time Qianye's sneak attack was successful, but he still couldn't kill him. See you next time on the battlefield, I'm afraid it will be Qianye who will run away.
So as soon as Anwen left, Qianye hesitated a little, but still chased after him. Anwen was injured in many places, and his demonic energy inevitably dissipated, so even though he fled far away, there are still traces to be found.
However, before chasing him far, a line of icy ice suddenly rose from the back of Qianye's neck, and his whole body was instantly chilled!
Qianye immediately stopped and turned around slowly. Although the turn was slow, there was no flaw, and with Dongyue in hand, he could launch a thunderous blow at any time.
Less than 100 meters away, Bai Kongzhao is standing.
Qianye frowned and said, "Why, have you changed your mind, or are you planning to fight me?"
"No, I'm just here to think about something."
"Thinking about something?" Qianye felt that this was an excuse that couldn't be more clumsy, and she didn't even take it seriously to find a slightly plausible excuse.
It just happened to appear at such a critical moment. If it is said that the girl has no plans, no one will believe it.
However, the girl pointed to the distance, and Qianye looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a bonfire burning under a big tree, and a simple cloth tent was set up on the tree, barely able to shelter from the wind and rain. This camp is simple but not crude, and it looks like it is ready to spend the night here. And Qianye's eyesight is sharp, and she can see that the bonfire has been burning for a while, which shows that she didn't do it on a whim.
"Okay, then think about it slowly. Besides, this area has been very uneven recently, maybe you can find a safer place to think about it."
Qianye's expulsion was subtle. At the moment when a large number of demons appeared, he didn't want to have such a variable as Bai Kongzhao around him.
However, the girl didn't seem to understand the meaning of Qianye's words, and said, "I have to think about it for a while. If there is no answer, maybe I will ask you."
"What are you thinking?" Qianye suddenly became curious.
"I'll tell you later." The girl suddenly became wiser.
Qianye shrugged, did not continue to ask, but glanced at her camp, then turned and left. With such a delay, it is impossible to catch up with that demon descendant. In fact, even without the appearance of Bai Kongzhao.
After thinking about it, Qianye decided to go back to Nanqing first and tell Song Zining about the appearance of the young demon. The appearance of Aiden may be a big trouble, and the status of this young demon should still be higher than that of Aiden. Such a person will not be without guards. No matter what, Song Zining must be on guard.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, Nan Qingcheng was already in sight, Qianye suddenly let out a sigh, thinking of a mystery that had always been hanging in his heart: since the day he knew Bai Kongzhao, he didn't seem to have seen her camping. Girls are like ferocious beasts that grow in nature, they can use all natural terrain without leaving any artificial traces. This is also the reason why she is difficult to track down, and it is also because of this that Qianye repeatedly chased and killed her in vain.
When did she start camping too
Qianye laughed at herself, maybe it was just a camp left by some unlucky mercenary, and she happened to use it to deceive herself.
Nanqing City is still as busy as ever. The mercenary camp has basically been built, and a large number of workshops and shops are currently under construction. The original layout of Nanqing City was no longer sufficient to support this scale of development, so that a large area was newly designated in the northwest of the city as a new urban area.
When Qianye left, there was nothing in this area, only dozens of people were surveying and mapping. Only a few days later, the prototype of four turrets has been erected outside the area, and thousands of workers have begun to level the land. In addition to ordinary workers, there are nearly a hundred mercenaries busy day and night on the construction site, which doubles the progress of the project.
Song Zining was holding a stack of thick blueprints in his hand, and was standing on a high place, his eyes wandering between the blueprints in his hand and the distant area, constantly comparing with the scene. He saw Qianye from a distance, and immediately waved.
Qianye quickened his pace and suddenly appeared beside Song Zining. Song Zining pointed to the front and said with a smile, "How about it, you won't recognize it soon, right? From now on, this will be the new urban area of Nanqingcheng."
Looking at the area with a radius of a thousand meters in front of him, Qianye was startled a long time ago, and asked, "What exactly are you going to build that requires such a large place?"
Song Zining laughed, and said proudly: "The airship manufacturing workshop!"
"Can you build an airship?" Qianye was really shocked this time.
"Ningyuan Heavy Industry has been able to build, but it's just the most common models. When I gradually master the usage of new alloys, I can try to build warships."
Even the most common airship is enough to alarm the entire neutral land. Before that, the neutral land could not build a complete airship at all, and key components such as power sails, airship engines, and floating arrays had to be purchased from Eternal Night or the Empire. The two camps also control the size of the neutral land fleet by limiting the amount of supply.
"Wait a minute, you built an airship workshop like this? Will the forces in the neutral land just look at it like this?"
Song Zining closed the blueprint, opened the folding fan, and said with a smile, "What if you don't look at it? I've already let the word out that after this workshop is completed, orders will be open to all forces. Since they can buy it with money Things, why kill them? Even if someone wants to stop us now, other forces will never agree. Even if they want to do something, they have to wait until our workshop is completed. Otherwise, I will ignore it now , they can't get anything."
Qianye frowned, but still felt that this matter was a bit unbelievable, and asked: "Could the empire just let it go?"
Song Zining pointed forward and said, "What I'm building is not an airship workshop, but an airship repair workshop. There are eighty if not a hundred such workshops in the neutral land. How does the empire manage it? "
"You... okay." Qianye was speechless.
"Hmph! You want to hide this little trick of the name? You are a crime of deceiving the emperor!" A majestic and slightly sullen voice sounded from behind the two.
When Qianye turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance, who was not angry and arrogant, walking towards him with big strides. During this section of the road, he walked majesticly and with extraordinary momentum. It looked like he had lived in the court for a long time, and his official steps were perfect.
Such a person would be perfectly normal if he was in the yamen of the supervisory offices at all levels of the empire, but when he appeared in a neutral place, he seemed out of place.
Qianye was born in the military, and the military has never been accustomed to civil servants. Qianye also inevitably got a little bit of habit, so he immediately asked Song Zining, "Where did this guy come from?"
These words did not give the middle-aged man any face, and his square face turned blue with anger. Song Zining covered his mouth with a folding fan, and said with a smile, "Qianye, what you said is a bit wrong. This Mr. Li Fang Li is a dignified fourth-rank official. If he were to be placed somewhere, he would be one province away from being in charge. It’s only two grades away.”
Qianye still knows the basic political system of the empire. If he wants to rule a province, he must be a second-rank. From the fourth rank to the second rank, it seems that there is only a difference of two levels, but it is actually far away from heaven. Not to mention two levels, but one level, no matter how many people die, they will not be able to rise up. What's more, between the second and third ranks, there is still a second rank. Song Zining said that he was two levels behind, which is really polite.
Li Fang originally looked up to the sky and was very satisfied, but Qianye suddenly asked: "What is the position of this Master Li?"
Song Zining said: "Master Li is responsible for compiling history and admonishing the imperial court, which can be said to be about the thousand-year plan of the empire."
Qianye snorted, and said, "In other words, it's an idle position with no power."
This made Li Fang very angry. Pointing at Qianye, he couldn't even speak, "You, you young and ignorant person, what do you know! Use history as a mirror to learn from rise and fall. Think of me, Li Fang …”
Qianye didn't have the patience to listen to the past of this pretentious guy. Seeing how he is now, he didn't have much glory to show off in the past, so Qianye interrupted him directly and asked Song Zining again: "This guy How did it come out?"
Li Fang finally couldn't hold back anymore, and scolded: "Don't think that you can do some outrageous things by hiding in a neutral place. It's fine that I, Li, didn't see these things. Since you let me know today, you must never It is impossible to let it go. When I return to the court, I will, I will... "
When Li Fang said this, he couldn't continue. Qianye was exchanging glances with Song Zining, then looked him up and down, revealing indescribable malice. Li Fang felt chills all over his body, and said in a trembling voice, "You guys, what do you want to do?"
Qianye ignored him, and said to Song Zining: "Tell me, how can this guy who is not even a general be able to return to court?"
Song Zining said seriously: "However, people have guards, as long as the guards are strong enough."
Qianye humbly asked for advice, "Can fourth-rank officials have general-level guards?"
Song Zining said seriously: "In terms of the imperial bureaucracy, it is not a problem for a fourth-rank official to serve as an aide or aide-de-camp to the general. It's just that according to the rules in the army, this position is best to be a general. After all, you have to fight with the general. , When the strength is low, they often die very quickly when they go to the battlefield."
Qianye nodded, "Looks like Lord Li won't need general-level guards anymore. However, Lieutenant General of the Empire is roughly equal in combat power to Earl Yong Ye. Zi Ning, it seems that we have already killed several Earls, right?"
Song Zining said angrily, "That's you, I don't have that kind of skill. Fighting and killing are not suitable for me."
Li Fang's face turned green and pale when he heard it, and finally understood one thing, that is, the two young people in front of him really made it impossible for him to return to the empire.
