"Your martial arts skills are not bad either." Empress Li glared at Song Zining, and then said: "That child of the Ji family will surely start to lay the foundation when he is born, and he will devote himself to martial arts in the future. In this aspect, we most likely cannot compare to the old prince. But,

I hope he can live a smarter and calmer life in the future and not do stupid things like his father did in his life."

Song Zining bowed deeply and said: "Since the Queen has entrusted me with this important task, Zining will do her best to live up to her trust!"

"There are still dangers over there in the Black Sun Valley. You must be careful when you go there, and you must come back alive. I don't want to turn into a dead person just after I found a qualified teacher."

Song Zining said seriously: "Don't worry, Madam, if I don't want to die, there are really not many people who can kill me."

Empress Li sighed: "You are better than a fox, and there are really not many people who can trick you. It would be great if Qianye could be half as cunning as you. Okay, I've finished talking, it's time for me to go back."

Song Zining stopped her and said, "Madam, is Qianye... really dead?"

Empress Li's face suddenly turned pale, her breath suddenly weakened, and a wisp of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. She sighed: "I also tried to confirm this, and this is the result."

Song Zining smiled bitterly and said: "I thought I didn't underestimate Ye Tong, but I didn't expect her to be so powerful. Who was her previous life?"

"Her existence must have been before the empire. There is very little information about that era, and we have no way of tracing it."

In the era when the empire was not founded, the dark race seemed to be in a strange state of slow development. The entire society rarely changed significantly for thousands of years. Historical records are incomplete, and the deeds of truly important figures are more like myths and legends than official history.

Until the rise of Taizu and the founding of the empire, the confrontation between the two camps of Yongye and Dawn was officially formed. Many emerging technologies of the human race were applied to the battlefield, and war was used as a medium to flow into Yongye. Suddenly, drastic changes occurred among all races, and countless new technologies

As this emerged, the social form was also affected accordingly.

The split between the new blood clan party and the ancestor sect began at that time. The werewolves internally took the establishment of the peaks as a symbol and formed a confrontation with the ancestor sect. The great wizards of the demons gradually disappeared from the battlefield. The spider demons had almost no changes.

Generally speaking, over the past millennium, the intensity of wars between camps, even on the scale of national wars, has been much smaller than in the past, and it has almost never happened that after a war, no life can survive in several provinces.

Therefore, in the history books of the empire, the era before its establishment is collectively called the Dark Ages. This is not to discredit it, but it is indeed the case. The history of the Evernight camp is like being obscured by a huge black curtain.

Looking at the history of the dark race from the perspective of the empire, there has always been a strange feeling. Those immortal species don't know if their lives are too long, so that their memories are wrong. There are no written records, but the part that is only passed down orally seems a bit strange.

question.

The most serious thing is that the Blood Clan actually forgot about the replacement of an entire clan and the second generation of ancestors. As a result, it is really impossible to verify if the person Nighteye awakened is some big shot in the dark age.

After Empress Li left, Song Zining had no intention of sleeping and began to read the battle report documents until dawn.

Early the next morning, someone came to pick him up and took Song Zining to the airship landing site and back to the Black Sun Valley. In the car, the adjutant next to him quietly handed over an envelope. Song Zining took it and took a look, and saw a seal on the corner of the envelope.

You know the mark of the king by heart.

He opened the envelope, read through the contents of the letter, and then shook it with his hand. The letter and envelope were destroyed at the same time. The adjutant watched silently and made no sound.

After a while, the aerospace ship took off and flew into the distance. Song Zining sat in front of the window, looking at the passing scenery, with a sneer, "You really dare to send people, very good, very good! I really think that the whole world is Wei.

Idiot like a wild boar!"

In the corner of the imperial capital, "Jiangjunfang", a group of small buildings with the same appearance are arranged neatly like military camps.

This place is a military-controlled area, and there are no idlers. The generals who have the right to stay are all rushing to the New World or the war preparation areas on various continents. Not even a soul can be seen in this large block.

A standard military off-road vehicle stopped in front of one of the small buildings. There were only a driver and a passenger in the vehicle. The passenger was wearing a uniform of the Imperial City Garrison, with a field hooded cloak thrown over it.

The passengers got off the car, opened the courtyard door and walked into the small building in a familiar manner, as if they were residents here.

The rooms on the second floor are almost the same as military camp dormitories. They are distributed on both sides of the corridor. Each room is the same size and has almost no furnishings.

The passenger walked into one of the rooms, took off his hooded cloak, and it turned out to be His Majesty the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. There was another person in the room, wearing a robe with wide sleeves, making tea, and it was Zhang Boqian, King of Qingyang.

This small building was the dormitory assigned to Zhang Boqian when he was a general of the country. Later, when he became the commander-in-chief, he was already the Duke of Dan and had his own residence in the imperial capital. He did not change his residence in the military area and it has been preserved to this day.

Emperor Hao didn't hesitate and sat down in front of Zhang Boqian. The latter didn't say anything and concentrated on making tea. Then he poured a cup and pushed it in front of Emperor Hao.

"How is King Zhang's injury?"

"It doesn't matter." With that said, a ball of gray energy popped out of Zhang Boqian's hand and threw it into Emperor Hao's hand.

Emperor Hao took it and looked at it, then released a ray of blue-black force to wrap up the gray energy. He felt it carefully, and after a moment he said: "The rules of the new world are indeed strange."

At this time, the gray energy ball had shrunk by half, but gave people a more solid feeling. Emperor Hao put the energy ball away and asked again: "Did Prince Zhang gain anything from this trip?"

Zhang Boqian said: "It's a vampire again."

"As expected." Emperor Hao briefly explained the contents of Fang Qingkong's previous report, and also mentioned the situation at Tianjiyuan.

Zhang Boqian listened and frowned: "Demon Emperor?"

The traces of the Dark Holy Mountain are difficult to capture in the world of eternal night. In the new world, the rules are alienated and the environment is complex. After a while, they are almost undetectable.

However, Zhang Boqian quickly put the matter aside and asked: "Are we going to be fully prepared for war?"

Emperor Hao said: "Yes, there is also the King of Heaven to adjust the defense. I would like to change defense positions with King Zhang."

"reason?"

"Teacher's 'Blue Bird' is with me, and its maneuverability is no problem. I have summoned Prince Linjiang to the imperial capital, and the 'King's Domain' will be left to him to control."

Zhang Boqian's eyebrows moved, he took a deep look at Emperor Hao and said, "What else?"

"When Taizu launched an uprising in Luoshui, he once said: On the road to dawn, I, the Ji family, will be the pioneer."

Zhang Boqian was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Is it the end?"

Suddenly there was a hint of ridicule in his eyebrows, "You are really a good student taught by Lin Xitang, who likes to seek death."

Emperor Hao said: "In the battle records from thousands of years ago, there were half-dimensional weapons, but now I can't understand them just by imagining them. If I am lucky enough to see them, it will be very worthwhile. Therefore, King Zhang please guard the capital of the empire.

"

Zhang Boqian narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Emperor Hao for a while, and said: "Okay, I agree to change the defense." He took out two official documents that had been folded several times and said: "What happened to these two pieces sent by the military department?

thing?"

Emperor Hao took it, unfolded it and looked at it. He was not surprised.

Zhang Boqian said: "The rumor in the Western Continent, even if there is news about Lin Xitang, it shouldn't spread from there first, right? And the speed of spreading the news is really not slow. It only takes two days from Younan Province to the imperial capital. If the rebels are like this

Efficiency has long been more than just two provinces."

"Now that the Zhao clan has four men and one commander, he is just thinking about the reserve position again."

"What does this have to do with Lin Xitang? When did he interfere in the reserve position?!"

Emperor Hao said calmly: "When the Weiyang Palace was in turmoil over the establishment of the crown prince, the teacher avoided Tianqi and invited himself to go to the Western Continent to quell the rebellion. He also expanded the war zone here. The Zhao family thought that the teacher's move was to suppress them. Later, I made it clear that I would not establish the throne within ten years.

Chu, this matter has been blamed on the teacher again."

Zhang Boqian's eyebrows were gloomy and he said coldly: "I warned him several times not to meddle in such nosy matters!" He suddenly raised his head, stared at Emperor Hao with a sharp look and said: "What happened in the Red Scorpion accident that year, and why?

Afterwards, he refused to enter the imperial capital to see you for half a year."

Emperor Hao still looked indifferent and said: "The child's identity has been exposed in the underworld. Some people think that the teacher adopted him to attack the family and interfere with the reserve. So if there is an accident, there will be a scene where the vampire can be found.

If the Grand Duke's collusion is proven, he will be able to commit a serious crime against the teacher."

"The major general in charge of the documents of the Beifu Army is Zong Shizi. He used the teacher's military order and seal to issue action instructions to the Red Scorpion Army. The teacher only found out about this when I saw the copy of the military department's filing. At that time, the mission was reached

The execution time was very low, and I had no idea what was going on. How could I let him go to the scene just like that? I detained him in Weiyang Palace and let him go after five days."

At this point, Zhang Boqian already knew what happened next, "It was you who erased all public records."

Emperor Hao said: "Yes, once this matter is put on the table, unless someone from Yong Ye's side betrays the truth, all the evidence is ready. I also admire the Zhao family and the Li family. Both families have daughters in the palace.

, but it is rare for them to be like-minded on the matter of framing the teacher. Fortunately, they have secret intentions for each other after all, and there is no lack of their own actions. Otherwise, with the ancestor king watching, I am afraid I will not be able to suppress this matter."

"I executed the major general without questioning or trial. I also summoned the commander of the Red Scorpion Army to speak openly about the matter. He collected all the written documents and sealed everyone's mouths. He himself also transferred to the defense three months later. Copy of the record filed by the military department

Naturally, they would not be returned to them, and some records in the circulation process became isolated evidence and irrelevant. However, there were many factions in the military department, and rumors could not be suppressed. Soon after, rumors spread that the imperial party intended to reduce the vassal.

"

Emperor Hao thought for a moment and showed a gentle expression, "Maybe the teacher has always been a little suspicious of me, right?"

Zhang Boqian was attacking the Heavenly King's Realm at that time, and rarely cared about other things except his own war zone. Only then did he realize that Lin Xitang's difficult governance during the period when he left the imperial capital to be stationed in the war zone was ultimately due to his reserve position.

No wonder some rumors even pulled him out to serve as the banner of the family and oppose Lin Xitang.

He suddenly realized something, frowned and said, "This time you summoned King Linjiang to supervise the country, but you didn't establish a heir apparent?" Zhang Boqian was a son of a wealthy family, and he was crowned prince at birth. He was bothered by such things, but he never cared about them.

Strange, I immediately thought of several possible consequences.

Emperor Hao said slowly: "The so-called imperial family is just a co-owner recommended by the aristocratic family. In the final analysis, the aristocratic family is autonomous. So, isn't it good to let the aristocratic family be autonomous?"

Zhang Boqian was silent for a long time this time, and then said: "You should know that Lin Xitang and I have always had great differences in politics."

Emperor Hao nodded and waited for the next words.

Zhang Boqian said: "But I want to say that if he was still here, he would not do this."

Emperor Hao said nothing.

Zhang Boqian shook his head and said: "That's all, this is His Majesty's housework. You and King Linjiang can just be aware of it."

Emperor Hao said: "Uncle Prince Linjiang will arrive in the capital in two days. Of course I have to explain clearly to him."

Zhang Boqian took out one of the official documents from Emperor Hao's hand, took a pen and wrote a line of words on it, handed it back to Emperor Hao, stood up, and said, "Your Majesty, please help yourself. I'll take my leave first."

Before Emperor Hao could get up, Zhang Boqian's figure disappeared.

Emperor Hao sat there for a while, took a sip of cool tea, and then unfolded the official document and looked at it. Under the request from the military department for the new engraving of Tianxun Palace, it was clearly written: I don’t want to put it in the name of the clan.

, was included in the list of aristocratic families.
