The veterans under Xun Qi's command were all specially recruited by the Xun family, and the most special veteran among this group of people was Mu Yan. This guy was a real god.
And unlike other immortals, Mu Yan only has the cultivation level of condensing inner energy, and this inner energy condensing cultivation level was obtained by Xu Shu, who was the origin of Guishuang God before the Ganges War some time ago.
In the past, it was just a blank slate without any internal energy.
Therefore, for Xun Qi, a guy who is two meters tall and looks like he is covered in tendons is positioned as a window-dressing valet. Yes, he can't even be considered a bodyguard.
There is no way, he is tall and strong, with a muscular body, very masculine, and he is very good at dressing up in clothes to decorate his appearance. More importantly, this man is mute.
All the respectable people in Peshawar know that Wang Ziqi has an attendant who has followed him for several years, and they all know that this attendant is actually a silver pewter spearhead. After all, he doesn’t even have inner energy, even if he is tall and strong.
, that’s just ordinary people.
You must know that even if you are practicing intensively, at least your body is constantly producing inner energy. When Altay was alive, Wang Ziqi took Muyan to see Altay. Seeing that the attendant was tall and strong, Altay thought he was Wang Ziqi.
The men who were looking for him found out that he had no internal energy when he joined hands with him. Everyone was stunned. There was a saying that it was rare to be strong and healthy but not have internal energy.
The problem is that Mu Yan really has no internal energy, and it is not the kind that has been abolished, but that he cannot practice it.
To be fair, I have fought many times on the battlefield, my will has been tempered, my physical fitness has improved, and my inner energy should have appeared anyway. If it doesn't appear again, I will become a guard, which is about it. If it doesn't work, my talent will be refined.
At the fourth level, it is time to condense the inner energy no matter what.
However, Muyan is in the sixth level of smelting and has no inner energy...
Judging from the information collected so far from Huangfu Song and Han Xin, because smelting is the transformation of one's own will into the collective will and the display of one's own quality in the essence of heaven and earth, each level of smelting will bring about an improvement in quality.
In the absence of internal energy, the upper limit of smelting should be four levels, because no matter how the plan is to strengthen the quality, there are requirements for the foundation. In the absence of internal energy, four levels of smelting is theoretically the limit.
On the other hand, the fifth level of smelting requires the condensation of inner energy, and the sixth level requires the cultivation of Qi to become a gang.
There are definitely people who can break these limits, but not many.
The problem is that reaching the sixth level of smelting without inner energy really doesn't give Han Xin and Huangfu Song any face. They thought that someone could break the fourth level, but they never thought that someone could break the sixth level without inner energy.
This situation can only be described as extraordinary talent.
But it's right to think about it. After all, even the theoretical limit of carbon-based body to reach the peak of Qi is actually quite different.
As a carbon-based life, practicing qi to reach the peak of Gang is actually the limit that is real and unreal. The improvement further is no longer an improvement in physical strength, but the use of energy to control the improvement of energy, relying solely on the body.
Quality, it's hard to make a big difference.
However, people are very different from each other. Some people's peak Qi cultivation is different from that of another group of people. No one would expect Sun Er, the peak physical fitness of Sun Er, to be as good as Er Xiong.
The kind of strong man who can grow to 360 pounds must have the same physical fitness.
Talent smelting is equivalent to building a taller and larger building on the existing foundation, but the foundation determines the upper limit of the building, and some special circumstances determine the scale and level of the building under the same foundation. Although the building and foundation
In the end, they are taken as a whole, but if you really want to study it in depth, there are still certain differences.
This has also led to many outrageous situations, such as Muyan. Muyan is the only solitary evidence found in the entire world so far that human beings can achieve physical fitness by smelting and practicing qi without the need for internal qi.
peak.
Moreover, this peak is the kind where a building is built on top of the foundation of Qi Qi Chenggang.
This is why the Xun family put so much effort into arranging Mu Yan for Xun Qi. Compared with placing a Nei Qi Li body there, people would investigate the background of Nei Qi Li body and placing a strong man without Nei Qi there.
Not as a bodyguard, but as a mere servant, even if it is an investigation, the household registration will not be checked in detail like the internal Qi separation.
What's more important is that compared to the outwardly visible bodyguards with inner energy, once someone takes action, they will definitely be on the lookout. Will anyone specifically target a bodyguard who has no inner energy?
Not at all!
The problem is that a god like Mu Yan can make a sneak attack under the clouds and severely damage the inner air from the body. In this way, it is self-evident which one is safer.
As for the outrageous thing that Muyan used Li He as a weapon when he was in Baloyaka some time ago, with an instant burst of power, and taking advantage of the earth's gravity not paying attention, he used Li He as a weapon to crush and strike with heavy weapons, directly
Helan was severely injured and became famous among the veterans. What does this have to do with my mute valet, Prince Qi, who is stationed in Peshawar?
Things that can be solved by just putting on makeup!
Mu Yan gathered together the six or seven veterans who had never shown their faces to Xun Qi and informed them of the mission. After listening to them, they all understood the danger of this mission and what the core of this mission was.
It's not to send information, but to protect Xun Qi from being discovered.
"This mission is a bit difficult to complete." Jiang Yue frowned.
If he only sent this information, Xun Qi could send it back no matter what. The intelligence organization on the Guishan side, Zhu Helai and those who did not finish it, and there is also Xun Qi, a big spy, who wants to send the information.
There is no difficulty at all. What is really difficult is how to avoid being exposed.
This information is too important. With the ability that Xunqi has shown in Kushan, it is impossible for any problem to arise in any link. That is, it must be submitted to Vesutiva I in a reasonable manner. Once it is submitted to Vesutiva I,
In the entire Kuishang, there cannot be more than five people who know complete information.
In this case, the information was still passed to the Han Dynasty, so there was no need to investigate.
The problem is that this information is very important, and Xun Qi must deliver it to the Han Dynasty as soon as possible.
Not to mention anything else, just collecting the core medicinal materials needed for the secret medicine will take a considerable amount of time.
But from the current point of view, the good thing is that when An Anxi was working on this thing, he probably believed that even if your intelligence organization was very powerful and got the recipe for the secret medicine, you would not be able to come up with the corresponding secret medicine.
Because this thing called saffron, in the third century, 90% of the world's production was in the Yinlang Plateau. Even if you get the prescription, you can't use it without this main ingredient.
After all, the one fighting the empire must be another empire. As long as the Parthian soldiers complete the first wave of strengthening, the existence of the secret medicine will inevitably be exposed. The follow-up question is how long this blockade can last. I hope it can be completely blocked. Look at the Central Plains.
Just think of silk and tea.
How could you not try something so important and profitable without secretly trying it? Not to mention something related to military strength and the rise and fall of a country. As long as you have some ideas, you will try it. And the split among the Seven Nobles of Anxi
It is estimated that it will be available within a few years.
So from the very beginning, the Anxi wise men determined the idea that the core of the secret medicine must be saffron, which they had complete control over the origin and cultivation technology of Anxi.
As the most expensive spice in the world as of the 21st century, saffron, which has undergone desperate research by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and has reached a peak high-yield experimental field level of three kilograms per mu, is a thing that Anshan is absolutely sure to monopolize.
.
Even if the seven nobles habitually hold back, betray the country, etc., this thing can be controlled by Anxi, because this thing is made of expensive spices, expensive dyes, and important herbs, and has extremely wide applicability.
, causing the seven nobles themselves to use it.
There is very little export. If you make such a fuss, there will be even less exports. There are no other channels for the empire to obtain it. Even if the seven nobles want to betray the country, there is no point in exporting less. With the size of the empire, this is not even on the table.
If you can’t get it, you’ll get too much, and you don’t even have it, so sell it as a hammer!
This perfectly limits the outflow of saffron. As for finding other places to plant it, it’s not that the wise men of peace are talking about it, but it really doesn’t exist. At least there is no area that the wise men of peace know about. In this way, this plan is simply perfect.
no.
It's a pity that the wise man An'an didn't expect that in just a hundred years, An'an would come up with seven completely different century-old plans for seven generations. His own plan of reshaping the foundation of the empire with secret methods and secret medicines has stopped and started again.
, I worked on and off for hundreds of years, but at least it was completed before the destruction of the country. There are only six left. The remaining six things were not burned, but are now in the Roman treasury.
Oh, in fact, the plan to rebuild the foundation of the empire with the secret method and secret medicine is now also in the Roman treasury, but the paper-recorded secret medicine was burned before Vologis V broke out. As for the secret method, part of it was destroyed.
.
But again, there are many empires that strengthen the secret technique. The secret technique of Anxi can only be used by ordinary people. What is really powerful is to use it with the secret medicine to turn the explosive secret technique into a permanent enhancement.
own passive effect.
Therefore, without seeing the secret medicine, Rome only verified the effects of these damaged secret techniques, determined their universality, and then used them as examples and ideas to develop low-level strengthening secret techniques that were more suitable for Rome.
, I never thought this thing was so outrageous.
After all, Rome really never thought that Anxi would set them up more than a hundred years ago, nor did they think that there was such a plan to promote secret methods and medicines at the same time. Maybe they thought that it was just too difficult and failed to achieve it.
Although this is done intermittently, it has been done for more than a hundred years.
Even if Anxi is defeated, as an empire that has been working on it for more than a hundred years, let alone Rome has not noticed this idea, even if Rome has noticed this idea, it will take ten or eight years to reproduce it.
OK.
But if Rome knew this idea, they should have it all by now. The Parthian Empire has been destroyed. As long as they know that you have this thing, how can you not find it?
Not to mention that Aldashir still has one in his hand. Even if Aldashir doesn't have it in his hand, all the living people don't have it. Rome can still find it from the dead, and all kinds of evil secrets obtained from the evil god, isn't it?
Used at this time.
As for the cost, this thing is worth the cost!
Unfortunately, without these, Rome did not know about the existence of this thing. Although it knew that Anxi was indeed studying it, it did not see a large army using it when it destroyed the country, so it was naturally a failure.
In the end, even if we find something that can separate inner energy from the body and break through boundaries, it will be meaningless to Rome. Who among the four empires doesn't have such a thing? Who are you looking down on!
To the east of the Zagros Mountains currently occupied by the Han family, there are many places suitable for growing saffron. Although the Han family has shoveled all the saffron to grow food due to the current situation, it is not impossible to plant more saffron if necessary.
Keep planting saffron.
In this way, this thing is actually of great significance to the Han Dynasty.
At least Xun Qi confirmed these things after taking a look at the prescription. Except for saffron, which Chen Xi did not reserve much, Chen Xi basically had reserves of other medicinal materials. As for saffron, they can let Central Asian families grow it. It can be said that this prescription is simply
Tailor-made for the Han Dynasty.
But no matter how customized it is, it will be too difficult to send it back to the Han Dynasty without Xun Qi being exposed.
"We can do this." Yekong breathed out, and the whole body's muscles and skin quickly turned into the appearance of a servant of Vesuthiva I. "The core is how to send it back, and it must be something Kushan can understand.
And send it back in a way that will not raise any suspicion."
"I always feel that your muscle defense, muscle control, and toughness defense training are very strange." You Miao asked as he looked at the almost lifelike night sky with a ghostly look on his face.
"It's just a few talents working together." Yekong waved his hand and said, "I have no problem replacing Vesutiva I's personal attendant."
"I will definitely die in this scene." Mu Yan said helplessly.
Mu Yan must have faked his death. He was going to deliver a message, and everyone knew that he was Xun Qi's personal attendant. It was very appropriate for him to come to deliver this, and he was the "replaced" who died under Vesutiva I.
There will be no suspicion among the old attendants.
After all, he was just a person without inner energy. Oh, he had great luck and broke through the inner energy condensation last year, but he was still a bastard. He was killed by spies planted by the Han army. It was normal and no one would doubt him.
"When the time comes, you can just stab me through the heart. I have the ability to move my organs. When the time comes, I will die directly. You drag me away, throw me into the river, and throw a body-disintegrating weapon on me.
The secret technique will do." Mu Yan said casually to Ye Kong.
"I remember that the secret technique can really melt the body. Although it may be slower, it will really melt." Ye Kong said solemnly.
"It's okay, of course you have to do a complete show. Don't miss this. The other party has been using secret techniques to investigate. Even if there is a method to break the law, it will inevitably leave traces." Mu Yan waved his hand and said.
"Throw it into the river?" Zhang Qian thought for a while and suddenly reacted, "As a chance encounter, you kill me too and throw me into the river, but don't throw that dissolved corpse on me and turn it into a blood evil spirit.
With this secret technique, I can stop my heartbeat and breathing for a long time."
Zhang Qian used to be a Yanzhou veteran who followed Daqu Shuai. He prostituted a gift of endurance from Guan Hai and then smelted it. He could go without eating or drinking for a long time, and he could even stop his heartbeat and breathing for a long time.
Time, and this is a blind spot.
"This may not be discovered." You Miao frowned and said.
"As long as the probability is not low, let's take a gamble, and I have the ability to conduct long-distance reconnaissance, maybe it can be done." Zhang Qian waved his hand and said.
"You can take a gamble and I'll be the bait." Yekong said very freely.
The people present looked at each other and nodded to Ye Kong. There must be a bait for this matter anyway, and Ye Kong's talent structure is indeed very suitable.
"If I get caught in the end and it's about the same time, I will tell them directly how you transported the information." Yekong said with a smile.
It’s not that there is no intelligence network of the Han Dynasty in Guishang, but if there is a time difference in this matter and it is sent to the Han Dynasty within a time that Guishang considers reasonable, all the intelligence networks will not be able to achieve this, and they can only use people.
deliver.
"Then let's do it." Mu Yan looked at the night sky and said.
"I'm going to get something." Yekong stood up and said.
Soon Ye Kong came back again, and then brought a long box and threw it to Zhang Qian, "If I am really finished, please send this thing back to Chang'an and present it to the princess."
"It sounds like I can see the princess." Zhang Qian was startled, but he still took the long box. When he opened it, he found that an arrow was missing, and judging from the traces, it should have been used, but it was well preserved.
"Just thinking about it." Ye Kong said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I'll take the first step."
"What's going on with him?" Zhang Qian looked at Ye Kong, who quickly left and rushed to Motuluo in advance, and looked at Mu Yan very strangely and said.
"I don't know." Mu Yan shook his head. He was not familiar with Ye Kong, so he knew that Ye Kong was from Luoyang. He was a soldier during the turmoil in Luoyang, and later joined the Xiliang Cavalry, and then came to the Ganges River.
, a very strong veteran.
Unlike Mu Yan and Zhang Qian who came back after being discharged from the army, Ye Kong has been on the front line from the Chang'an Rebellion to the Ganges War and has never been discharged from the army.
In April of the ninth year of Yuanfeng, Ye Kong arrived at Motuluo, killed the old valet of Vesuthiva I who had gone out to buy goods from the palace, and then replaced him himself. This old valet had served Vesudeva I for many years. Recently, he
As he was getting older, he was already half-retired, and Vesudeva I seldom asked him to do any more work because he had served him for so many years.
After nature took over, no one noticed Ye Kong for several days without doing anything unnecessary, until the agreed time came and Ye Kong went out to buy things.
At present, Guishuang has moved its capital to Motuluo again. Many things are not perfect yet. Ye Kong goes out to buy things without attracting anyone's attention. Then he kills Mu Yan and Zhang Qian who met and asked in the city according to the plan. Ye Kong kills them both.
The man carried it and threw it into the Ganges River, and then gave Mu Yan the secret technique of melting the corpse. At this time, Zhang Qian's body had been washed away by the water. Looking at the corpse on the Ganges River, the night sky disappeared.
Take action and leave quickly.
About half a day after Ye Kong left, Motuluo realized what had happened, because Xun Qi's inner-qi bodyguards came over to notify Vesutiva I and even meet Mu Yan, but found that Mu Yan disappeared after arriving.
The natural body guard immediately informed Vesutiva I that Mu Yan, who was carrying important information, was missing, and informed Vesutiva I of all the contents that Xun Qi had studied, indicating the importance of this information.
At that time, Vesudeva I exploded, and he directly asked why he sent a servant who was not strong enough, instead of having the inner Qi leave the body to transport it himself. The guard said helplessly because the verification had not been completed at that time. The entire secret method and secret medicine
It takes seven to twelve months to be effective. Even if they use special secret techniques to speed up the effect, it still takes more than ten days to complete.
It had not shown any amazing effects before, so the servant was not sent here specifically to deliver this thing, but to be sent to the secret room for verification.
In fact, he was sent here as a bodyguard just because he was sure that the result was true, so he rushed to inform him. He also informed Muyan to go back with him after the report.
Vesutiva I was quite silent when he heard this. Prince Qi was right. Even he would not believe it before verifying it. After all, their Kushans, among the four great empires, had the ability to engage in occult arts.
Secondly, no one dared to recognize the first one, and it turned out that none of them had it, but An Anxi did. It would be imprudent for Wang Ziqi to just send it over without verifying it.
You know, Wang Ziqi has always been known for being cautious and prudent.
Besides, even if you have doubts, you should send your most trusted attendant to the secret room for verification, and the attendant himself has a guard. It cannot be said to be inappropriate in any case. After they confirm the situation, they will notify Weisu as soon as possible.
In Deva I's life, there was no problem.
"Hurry up and send the palace guards to search for him." Vesudeva I suppressed his anger and said.
The inner guard was very efficient, and it was quickly determined that the matter was done by the old attendant of Vesuthiva I. However, since the attendant lived in the inner palace, he could not use secret techniques to explore the past at will, so he could only report it directly. Wei who received the news
Sudeva I was extremely angry, as if everything was connected.
But it is useless to say this at this time. Now we must get back the lost important information as soon as possible, and we must not let it fall into the hands of the Han Dynasty. Vesudeva I almost said nothing before sending an expert with the level of internal energy separation.
To hunt and kill.
Mu Yan was killed, the information was taken away, the person was thrown into the Ganges River, and a secret technique refined by the blood evil was thrown away. Then when the scene of the night sky fading away from the form of a servant was revealed in the light and shadow of the past, Vesutiva
