In the end, Li Fang couldn't hold back his face and gave in, and said bitterly: "Qianye, don't think that you can do whatever you want in a neutral place. Sooner or later, someone will come to teach you a lesson."
"Really, I'm waiting." Qianye replied indifferently. He has heard too many similar threats, and he has long since ignored them.
Li Fang flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and left, he was rather hasty when he left, and he did not return to the calmness he had when he came back.
After he left, Qianye became serious and asked again: "What exactly does this person do? How did he appear here?"
Song Zining also said sternly: "This Li Fang still has some real skills. Although he is an idler in the court, he usually studies the way of helping the world and has his own views on how to establish a complete military and economic system. This person is The Li family came from a side branch, and today's official position is mostly due to his own real ability. This time the Li family entered the neutral land, he also moved a position, and wants to make a good use of it here."
"But judging from his appearance just now, it doesn't look like he is coming to do something."
Song Zining smiled and said: "Qianye, you don't understand this. The more this kind of petty official with no authority, the greater the official authority, the more airs he has, lest others look down on him. On the contrary, the real power is often approachable and has no airs .”
"Okay, but what is the Li family doing here?"
"Because Li Kuanglan is here. The Li family sent some guards over in name, but actually three hundred people came."
Qianye frowned and said, "Three hundred people, that's a lot. Who are these people?"
"They are all elite fighters from the Li family, and the two elders are leading the team. In another two days, someone from the palace will come over."
"So many people come to the neutral land? Aren't they afraid of the Blood Throne's backlash?" Qianye's question is not unreasonable. As we all know, the Blood Throne is extremely disgusted with Yong Ye or the Empire's intervention in the neutral land. shot record. With Broken Fleeting Years in hand and the advantage of a neutral ground, even the Maharaja and Heavenly King are at risk of falling.
This time the empire sent nearly a thousand elite troops into the neutral ground, which can be said to have broken the previous rules. If the Blood Throne takes action, these people may not be able to leave the neutral ground alive.
But Song Zining was not worried, and said calmly, "Don't worry, this matter involves Empress Li. Those old men in the imperial capital are very afraid of death. If they are not sure, how dare they do such a thing? Now that everyone has come, it means they The terms have been negotiated. Although those old guys have no other skills, they are very good at fighting and negotiating terms."
"Why the Li family?" In the misty forest, Qianye had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Li family, and it was the Zhao Clan who worked behind the scenes to get the Tianfengyun Yanzhu back.
Song Zining took it for granted, "Because the storm is here, if they don't come, who else will come?"
The political arena of the empire has always been complicated, and it is even more so when it involves the palace. Song Zining refused to say more, and Qianye felt a headache just thinking about it. up.
As soon as Song Zining heard it, he knew the seriousness of the matter. He put away his joyful expression and pondered, "So, the devil has produced another genius who is comparable to a witch? No, he should have existed long ago, but he hid it very well, so he never disappeared. It's known. If he comes, it's going to be tricky. What are you going to do?"
"Re-enter the wilderness and choose the opportunity to fight. The demons are severely restricted in the neutral land. No matter how strong they are, they will always have a way to deal with it."
Song Zining nodded, this is the best way to display Qianye's fighting power. In the wilderness of the neutral land or in the foggy forest, Qianye's combat power can be greatly improved. Even the Marquis, if he was attacked by Qianye first, he might be killed on the spot.
But he immediately remembered something, his face changed drastically, and he said anxiously: "Wait! If that demon descendant came with the vanguard..."
Song Zining immediately ordered someone to fetch a route map of the neutral land, and drew more than ten consecutive lines on it, the more he drew, the more ugly his face became. He screened back to the left and right, and asked Qianye: "Can your Hall of Valor be able to sail in the void now?"
"Of course it can. It's just that its outer wall hasn't been built yet, and people with weak combat capabilities may not be able to survive on it for a long time. I'm afraid only half of the existing people can do it."
Song Zining raised his eyebrows and said, "I will give you fifteen more people. This is the limit I can divide. But half of them are craftsmen. If there is a real fight, they must be protected."
"Want to fight in outer space?"
Song Zining nodded, pointed to a certain place on the route map, and said solemnly: "Ningyuan Heavy Industry's last batch of engines and ballista stocks are already on the way. Although no one knows about this secret route, it is related to the Eternal Night Demon Continent. There are several approach points on the route leading to the neutral land. If the follow-up troops of Eternal Night are already on their way to the neutral land, then three days later, it is possible to hit our transport fleet at this position. This ship There is also a batch of high-performance alloys in the team, so there is no room for loss.”
Qianye looked at the route map, and said slowly: "You mean, I will drive the Hall of Valor to meet you?"
Song Zining nodded, "This is the only way. Whether it's this transport fleet or your Hall of Valor, now is not the time to let the people of the Li family know. After you pick up the transport fleet, you can dock and unload the cargo directly in the void. Then let the transport fleet go back the same way. Those craftsmen and crew who came with the fleet will directly let them work in the Hall of Valor. These people are very reliable, and they are the team I have trained for many years."
After finishing speaking, Song Zining patted Qianye's shoulder and said with a smile, "I've given you everything I have now, if you want anything, you won't have anything."
Until now, Qianye didn't know Song Zining's real net worth. At such a young age, Qi Juan can already see the shadow of the word "wealth can rival a country". With the real strength of Ningyuan Heavy Industry, they can independently support a low-grade family. If Song Zining was given another two or three years to thoroughly understand the new alloy formula, he would be qualified to be the mainstay of a high-grade family by then.
People in the Song Clan have a keen sense of smell in this regard, and they must try their best to get the control of Ningyuan Heavy Industry in their hands. It's a pity that Song Zian's life was not at the right time. He had an excellent opportunity, but he happened to meet Qianye, and Qianye turned the situation around with his own efforts. Otherwise, if Song Zian took Song Zining away, I'm afraid I don't know what will happen.
But now that Song Zining has moved most of Ningyuan Heavy Industry's wealth over the short time he has been in the neutral land, most of the accumulation will eventually be invested in Qianye's Hall of Valor. The Hall of Valor is an extraordinary floating battleship. It is based on the skeleton of the ground strider, and its control is mainly carried out by the residual will of the ground strider. Now unless Qianye is killed, no one can take away the Hall of Valor.
Song Zining was not exaggerating. If you invest your assets in the Hall of Valor, you will never get them back. Even Qianye himself didn't understand why Song Zining cared so much about the Hall of Valor.
However, Qianye was still worried, so he couldn't help asking: "I'm leaving, can you stand it?"
Song Zining didn't take it seriously, and said, "Aren't Kuanglan and Tianqing still there? I can't let them go out to take risks, but if the demon descendants come to the door, it's not my responsibility."
Qianye was speechless, thinking about it now, the only way to rest assured is to go back early. He simply didn't even return to Nanqingcheng, he went back to the wilderness, chose a deserted direction and ran for half a day, seeing no one around, Fang jumped up and flew high into the sky.
The huge hull of the Hall of Valor was looming in the clouds, gliding soundlessly. Qianye flew directly into the ship from the opening on the side, and then the giant ship seemed to come to life, raised its head to the sky, flew higher and higher, and flew straight into the endless void.
There are dozens of crew members in the Hall of Valor, and most of them are busy pushing an engine to the designated position at the moment. After the engine was in place, several craftsmen came over to start checking and debugging one by one.
About one-third of the people in the Hall of Valor are Gaohu people, and most of them are born mechanics. The other is Song Zining's confidant sent by Ningyuan Heavy Industry. Among these people were craftsmen and ten strong and experienced fighters. These soldiers can be used as efficient labor at ordinary times, and they are the core force to protect the facilities inside the ship at critical moments. In fact, they were guarding against the Gaohu people, and Song Zining instinctively distrusted any outsiders.
After Qianye entered the ship, the crew members greeted him respectfully with "My lord", and continued to do their own business. The Hall of Valor is really too huge. The power sail alone needs to be equipped with dozens of surfaces, and there are more than a hundred engines, large and small. The amount of work is huge, piled up like a mountain. not finished.
Qianye clapped his hands, raised his voice, and said, "We are about to enter the void, and all people below level 5 stop working immediately and enter the cabin to rest. Those above level 5 go to their respective positions to stand by."
These crew members have long been divided into workers. They are craftsmen at ordinary times. In wartime, some are in charge of lookouts, some are in charge of ballistas, and others are in charge of controlling engines and power sails. Now there are too few people, so only two engines can be started and a power sail can be raised. As for the ballista in the mouth of the ground strider's skull, it can only be operated by Qianye himself.
With Qianye's order, the crew members who are not strong enough will go back to the part of the crew cabins that have already been built, and close the doors firmly.
After they all returned to the cabin, Qianye controlled the Hall of Valor to jump up, rushed out of the protective layer of the East China Sea land mass, and drove into the vast void.
At this moment, the Hall of Valor still looks like the skeleton of a giant void beast from a distance, but on the skeleton around the heart, body tissue is spreading and growing, sealing the chest cavity. According to Qingyue and Song Zining's opinion, these bodies are the best hull materials. The tyranny of the void behemoth is not comparable to those of the warships of the empire.
However, the growth of these bodies relies on the energy of the ground strider's heart, and the process is very slow, so it needs to be supplemented by artificially building hulls. It's just that the ground strider has such a huge body, and the construction of the hull alone is probably equivalent to several motherships.
As soon as it entered the void, the whole body of the Hall of Valor shone with faint light and flew to the predetermined location.
