Chapter 23: Guests from afar
The northern border of Wu State, Zhenbeiguan.
Huo Changge squatted on the top of the hill boredly, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, and glared fiercely at Yang Ming on the top of the hill opposite.
That bitch Yang Ming sent himself a WeChat message last night to share the commission for Jingguo to hire him to participate in this war. He was so greedy that his mouth watered.
One yuan stone, one day.
Damn it, the amount of yuan stones he earns in one day is equivalent to what he earns in a month.
Where did Jingguo get so much money? Did it all borrow from Utopia? Is Jingguo's little emperor crazy? If they can't win this battle, the loan interest they owe to Utopia will bring them down.
Huo Changge looked down the mountain and saw that Jingguo's army was "flexing its muscles" at Guanxia again, with densely packed banners, the main battle force's all-white Xuanwu heavy armor, piles of siege equipment, and those in the sky taking turns to show off their power.
Practitioner.
How to fight this battle...
Although the WeChat message he sent to Lu Chuan looked calm, in fact, he had no idea at all.
The sects in the northern border did not listen to the announcement. It was almost noon of the next day, and more than half of the sects had not yet arrived.
Prince Wu Jing actually gathered together with the Northern Army. As soon as they arrived at Zhenbeiguan, the first military order was to take away most of the military rations and supplies in Zhenbeiguan, and also took away the command of the Zhenbei Army.
This kind of defensive force alone is far from enough. The posture put forward by Jingguo is already a battle that will overwhelm the country. Wuguo seems to have sent a lot of troops, but in fact it is not taken seriously at all.
Several super sects in the imperial capital did not send any manpower to support them. The military headquarters only sent out Prince Wu Jing and the Northern Legion after holding a meeting for so long. The corresponding yuan stones, Wu Guo coins, grain, grass, and supplies were all perfunctory.
, how can there be such a war?
Wu Guo is hopeless, everything is in chaos from top to bottom, and Jing Guo is still fighting for power and profit even when they are at home.
But Lao Jiang, a stubborn donkey, insists on guarding Zhenbeiguan. Can you do it?
Huo Changge spit out the grass in his mouth, opened the Time Zero area to the maximum, and skillfully took out his mobile phone to send a WeChat message to Lu Chuan.
"The fight is about to begin. No matter what happens, you and Momo don't leave Beining City. You shouldn't be able to reply to messages during the next few days during the day. Don't worry if you can't contact us. We will definitely get back to you if we see you."
After sending the WeChat message, Huo Changge quickly put the phone back into the storage ring and sighed softly.
The field closed, and a piece of grass swirled in the air, then drifted to the ground.
...
Deep in the dense forest inside Zhenbeiguan.
"The war is about to start. Why are you here, Lao Luo?" Jiang Tao frowned and looked at Luo Dingguo in front of him. When this guy sent him a message, Jiang Tao thought he was hallucinating.
"A few days ago, Emperor Wu sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping that we would send a representative to talk. I ran so fast that I became this unlucky representative." Luo Dingguo looked at Jiang Tao and Li Qian with a smile on his face. These two old friends had not known each other for several years.
Met.
"There is another small task. Xiao Lu was going to give a meeting gift to your new disciple Xiao Lu. Unfortunately, there was a fight between you guys, so I took over the job for him. I stopped by Zhenbeiguan to see you, Lao Jiang.
A stubborn donkey."
"Then you go about your business. We also have things to do, and if you leave for too long, someone will become suspicious." Lao Jiang responded coldly, and Li Qian was so angry that she hit him.
"Lao Luo, don't mind. Lao Jiang is a stubborn donkey who can't speak. We haven't seen our old friends for so many years. We should sit down and drink tea and catch up on old times. It's a pity that there is going to be a war in Beiguan in this town, and we don't even have a cup of tea.
." After Li Qian finished beating Lao Jiang, she greeted Luo Dingguo politely with a smile on her face.
"It's okay, it's okay. Do I still know Lao Jiang's temper? But this battle is not going to be easy for you. Jing Congyun has spent a lot of money this time. If you can't hold on, don't hold on. The organization is also paying attention to this.
If there is a war, I can devote my strength to rescue you at any time."
Lao Jiang didn't like hearing this anymore. He wanted to rescue him before the fight started. He was about to start spraying while holding his neck. Li Qian's eyes were so quick that she quickly blocked his mouth with her hands and said with a smile:
"Thank you very much, Lao Luo, and thank you all for your concern." Li Qian paused and then asked, "Regarding the second generation matter, is there any new research progress in the organization?"
"It's more difficult. The method of forcibly retrieving memories is very harmful to children, and the opinions within the organization are not unified. Lao Zhangxin put forward a conjecture, if children can be placed in a sealed environment full of vitality, is it possible to prevent time travel?
occur."
Li Qian's eyes darkened when she heard that it was just a guess, and it was just a new guess. From guessing to forming an experimental plan, to finally trying the experiment, God knows what the result will be.
"Lao Luo, our new disciple Xiao Lu, he has special abilities..." Li Qian's heart skipped a beat and she wanted to tell Luo Dingguo about Lu Chuan's golden finger.
"Qianqian! That's my secret!" Lao Jiang interrupted what Li Qian was about to say with a sharp shout.
"Jiang Tao! Momo is your daughter too!" Li Qian glared at Lao Jiang without flinching.
"That depends on Xiao Lu's own willingness. He is a very good child. If we tell him carefully, he will definitely be willing to help us."
"Then go back and tell him now!" Li Qian stood on tiptoe before pressing her forehead against Lao Jiang's.
"...Wait until things here are over..."
"Momo will be fifteen soon!"
Jiang Tao responded with silence. The two of them had privately argued about this matter countless times, but Jiang Tao was like a stubborn stone. Every time they argued, the result was silence. The angry Li Qian just wanted to give him a
The big mouth slapped him awake.
Luo Dingguo looked at the two people arguing thoughtfully, Lu Chuan? Li Qian's unfinished words seemed to mean that Lu Chuan's special power could help in this regard?
"Lao Luo, don't make any mistakes. You all have too many ideas, but Lu Chuan is my disciple. When you go to give him something, if he doesn't want to talk to you, don't force him. Otherwise, our friendship for more than ten years will be over.
It's over." Jiang Tao suddenly raised his head and looked at Luo Dingguo with a frown.
"You stubborn donkey, what you say is so unpleasant, who do you think I am?" Luo Dingguo laughed and cursed.
"I will have a good chat with him on behalf of the organization. If he can really help, Utopia is willing to provide him with everything he needs in exchange."
Luo Dingguo's expression became serious, "But I still want to criticize you, Old Jiang. Your attitude of hiding from the organization is wrong. The second generation incident has been the biggest problem for Utopia in recent years. It affects not only Jiang Mo, but also Jiang Mo."
To all our families. With so many compatriots waiting and suffering in pain, we cannot be so selfish."
A gust of wind blew by, causing the leaves to sway. The speaker had gone away, and only Lao Jiang and Li Qian were left in the dense forest.
Lao Jiang looked a little lonely. He knew Luo Dingguo and Utopia. Lu Chuan was in trouble.
"Qianqian, we can talk to Xiao Lu properly... He only believes in us..."
Li Qian hugged him from behind and put her face on his back.
