Qinglong held his head high and roared again, but this time the dragon's roar did not have the same magical effect as before. It was just that the tune was higher and a bit unpleasant. Even those on the ground could hardly hear it because they were far away. p>
Obviously, the current Qinglong is really like an ordinary machine beast... Although such machine beasts have nothing to do with ordinary beasts.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xun couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the Mo family's craftsmanship in making the blue dragon is superior to that of the Nine Heavens Mystic Girl in making the Demon God of War. After all, the star power contained in that thing is completely uncontrollable, even if it is controlled
They will also be eroded by strange forces."
"Maybe it's because the size difference between the two is too big?"
The Qinglong is naturally not small in size. When wielded dually, it can effectively block out the sun at low altitudes. However, compared to the Demon God of War, it can only be said to be dwarfed by its size.
After sighing with emotion, Gu Xun stopped observing. His level of mechanism skills and understanding of the stars' special powers were only half-baked, and he couldn't tell much more.
If you want to know more, you can only test it directly.
At the same time, Qinglong also plans to attack Gu Xun, but now it cannot use the power of the stars and only has some physical attack capabilities.
What is used now is the most direct and effective skill - collision!
With a flutter of its wings, its huge body set off a storm in the air, mixed with the roaring sound of the wind, which was about to drown the tiny Gu Xun.
Gu Xun ignored the huge beast charging towards him, and calmly raised his right hand, holding it in the air, and a flaming long sword composed of the fire of true energy appeared naturally with his movements.
Then Gu Xun waved his hand and threw the flowing fire sword condensed with true energy directly towards Qinglong.
Boom!
The Flowing Fire Sword, which was only more than three feet long, expanded and exploded instantly after being released, scattering into sparks all over the sky and smashing towards Qinglong.
The burning temperature of Gu Xun's true energy fire is far higher than that of ordinary flames. Even if the material used to construct the blue dragon is extraordinary, it will spread and burn immediately after being contaminated.
This beast of a machine felt the pain of the burning fire as if it were a real life. It rolled over in the sky and roared continuously.
People on the ground couldn't hear the blue dragon's 'wailing', but they could clearly see the firelight all over the sky, which was so big and red that it was even more brilliant than the fire clouds at dusk.
However, the flaming beauty that made them wonder and speculate did not last long, and soon dissipated.
Because the fire of Gu Xun's true energy could not rage on Qinglong's body for long.
As he was facing a fatal threat, Qinglong's dark eyes began to emit red light, which became more and more intense.
Along with another dragon roar, invisible sound waves spread, and the fire of true energy that was originally like gangrene on the bones suddenly seemed to turn into a rootless fire. After a few breaths, it dispersed with the wind and was completely extinguished. As Gu Xun watched, the star power in Qinglong's body emerged again. However, it was probably limited by some operation of the Mo family. The burst of star power was very restrained. It only surfaced a thin layer, which was enough to dissipate it.
Gu Xun’s true energy fire.
Immediately afterwards, after the crisis was resolved, these stellar powers immediately fell silent again.
It seems that Qinglong's condition is very stable.
After Gu Xun rubbed the palm of his right hand a few times, he didn't take action again. He left Qinglong who still wanted to cause trouble for him and fell straight to the ground.
If nothing unexpected happens, Qinglong will not be able to suffer a more powerful attack than the one he just struck.
Since it can continue to remain stable now, the probability of problems is indeed low, so there is no need to continue testing.
Otherwise, if one accidentally breaks it with too much force or loses control, the gain will outweigh the loss.
The Mo family has not yet perished, so keeping the Qinglong as a killer weapon in their hands will do more good than harm to Gu Xun's plan.
After losing its target, Qinglong, who was not a living creature after all, immediately flew away from here according to the original route as if nothing had happened.
………………
Xianyang, the imperial capital, Zhangtai Palace and Shuyi Palace.
In recent days, as Ying Zheng's headaches have become increasingly serious, he has been forced to reduce the frequency of Umrah meetings to once every two or three days.
However, I didn’t have much time to rest, I just stayed in the study room of Shuyi Hall for longer.
At this time, he was reviewing the memorial.
If a person wants to take care of the affairs of dozens of counties in the world, there is no such thing as Yingzheng's government affairs. As long as he wants to, there will be memorials to approve.
At this time, a chamberlain walked quickly from outside the palace, holding two letters in his hand - this kind of thing is usually handled by Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, but now that he has left Xianyang, naturally it can only be done by someone else.
Temporary.
The chamberlain took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground, held up the letter in his hands, and said in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty, there is a military report from the South, which was submitted by the Imperial Advisor."
Ying Zheng raised his head, put down what he was holding, and said in a deep voice, "Speak!"
The chamberlain's posture did not change when he heard this, and he answered, "The rebellious headquarters of the Mohist family has been attacked by Han Xin and Zhongli Mei. The leader of the Mohist family, Dan Fu, who was also the former crown prince of Yan, was executed. No bones were left. The rebels suffered heavy losses. The remnant army has now moved to
Flee eastward."
After finishing the list of results, after receiving Ying Zheng's signal, the chamberlain dared to stand up, stepped forward and handed both letters to Ying Zheng, then stood aside with his head bowed and waited.
This so-called military report is actually not formal, otherwise it would not be a simple letter.
This is the information that Gu Xun sent back to Xianyang expeditiously through the Luowang channel.
What the chamberlain said was a condensed version of the content of the letter, but the original content was not much. Ying Zheng scanned it briefly and read it quickly.
The content is just that sentence, just mixed with some details and nonsense.
Putting the letter aside casually, Ying Zheng snorted coldly, "Ha! Yan Dan... I didn't expect that he would survive to this day and become a giant of the Mo family."
Speaking of this old friend who was also the mastermind who intended to assassinate him, Ying Zheng felt very calm, even though the other party had deceived him for many years by pretending to die.
After all, the identity gap between the two parties is now as big as clouds and mud, and even if Yan Dan lingers on for a few more years, wouldn't he still be dead now?
This information was passed back by Gu Xun, and Ying Zheng was convinced that Yan Dan was definitely dead this time.
After spending one more sentence on Yan Dan, Ying Zheng picked up the second letter and browsed it.
This letter was not written by Gu Xun, but the detailed information of the Battle of Guancheng compiled by Luowang, and the content is far greater than the previous one.
The military report sent by Gu Xun only reported the merits of Han and Xin, and it was obvious that they were here to take credit.
As for more details, such as the specific losses of the Mohist family, the amount of damage to the empire, whether there are any additional gains, etc., they have not been said.
If Ying Zheng wants to have a more comprehensive understanding of this, the intelligence compiled by Luowang is indispensable.
After a while, Ying Zheng put down the second letter and had a more detailed and practical understanding of the results of the Battle of Guancheng.
To be honest, this battle was not very beautiful.
The empire suffered hundreds of casualties, while the Mohist disciples suffered only a few hundred casualties. It was basically a one-to-one ratio, not much of an advantage.
He also let go of the big fish of the Anti-Qin Alliance - although Ying Zheng did not count the Laoshizi Alliance as the target of this battle at all.
The most important thing is that Tianming didn’t catch him!
However, Ying Zheng did not become angry because of this, because the most basic goal was indeed achieved - the rebellious headquarters of the Mohist family, the so-called "paradise in the world" that Ying Zheng disliked, completely disappeared from the world, and its leader, the Mohist giant, also died. In this battle, both the casualties and the time and materials consumed by the empire were far lower than expected.
From the perspective of fighting against rebels, it has been done perfectly.
As for how many Mohist disciples were killed or injured, and whether the anti-Qin alliance was damaged, Ying Zheng didn't care at all. He was only dissatisfied with not catching Tian Ming.
But the problem is that this is the responsibility of the killers of Luo Wang and Ni Liusha - mainly the latter, and has nothing to do with Han Xin.
Ying Zheng will not go to Liusha for this matter, let alone anger Han and Xin, so his mood is quite stable, or to be more precise, he is even preferable.
The removal of the unsightly government city and the complete elimination of Yan Dan, which he hated, made Ying Zheng feel a little happier.
………………
To the east of Guancheng City, heading towards the land of Qilu, several carriages were galloping on a deserted road close to each other. Most of the drivers were wearing the clothes of Mohist disciples.
Needless to say, the people sitting in this motorcade are naturally the Mohists who escaped from the city, or to be precise, they are important figures of the Mohists.
After the Battle of Guancheng City, the Mo family was completely labeled as rebels. All the senior officials were on the wanted list, and even ordinary disciples were unable to move freely in the town.
Since there were too many people, the target would be too great, so Gao Jianli and the others ordered all the disciples to spread out and hide themselves, but secretly summoned some elites to go to their next destination.
Of course, we also spread out, go alone, and then reunite at the destination.
And these high-level officials accompanied them with a very small number of disciples and acted collectively.
With their strength, they don’t need to deliberately hide when they are on the road, as long as they don’t be too ostentatious, so it doesn’t matter if there are more people.
In one of the carriages, Tianming, Shaoyu, and Xiaoling were sitting together.
The Xiang family had separated from the Mo family at this time, and only Shao Yu continued to stay with Tianming and the others.
Feeling the bumps coming from the carriage, Tianming said in a bored yet sad tone:
"Alas...Is the Government City really gone?"
He has been in a coma since receiving Yan Dan's teachings. He just woke up yesterday and knows nothing about the collapse of the government city.
Shao Yu put his arms on the back of his head, leaned against the wall of the carriage, and lazily replied, "No! It's all gone!"
For Shao Yu, who had experienced the destruction of his family and country, the death of his close relatives in battle, and had been hiding for many years, the destruction of the government city only made him sigh for two days, and then he looked away.
At least... not many people died, and it was much better than what his family had experienced in other home countries.
Tianming lowered his head, feeling a little depressed, and muttered:
"Is this so..."
Although Tianming has been wandering around since he was a child, and his temperament has been tempered to be quite tough, he still has a hard time letting go of the destruction of the machine city.
Unlike Shaoyu, who first had something and then lost it, Tianming never had a normal life in the past. It was not until recently that he truly had friends and relatives, and then he successively obtained similar friends and relatives in Jinghu Medical Village and Guancheng City.
A peaceful life at home.
But in the blink of an eye, everything was gone and turned into a passing cloud.
He once again embarked on a wandering journey, lost Qianlong, his uncle was seriously injured, and even Yuanhong was broken...
Everything happened so fast that Tianming couldn't adapt for a while.
Seeing this, Shaoyu reached out and patted Tianming's shoulder to comfort him.
Tianming raised his head, looked at his two friends who were both emotionally stable, hesitated for a moment and then asked Shaoyu:
"Shaoyu, are you feeling...sad?"
"Well..." Shaoyu sighed softly, with a wry smile on his face, and spread his hands before replying, "It's so sad!"
"But I'm... used to it, so my reaction is naturally not as big as yours."
"Are you used to...?" After receiving this answer, Tianming mumbled to himself again, then turned to look at Xiaoling, "Brother Dao, what about you?"
Xiaoling opened her eyes, smiled at Tianming, and answered the question, "Although I am a little different from my brothers and sisters, I am a disciple of Tianzong after all!"
"Huh?" Tianming was stunned for a moment, not knowing what this answer meant.
Shaoyu understood it as soon as he heard it, nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed!"
"It's always easy to overlook your status as a master of Tianzong, Brother Ling. This change is really difficult for you."
Xiao Ling smiled again and said nothing, but his eyes flickered.
Everyone in the Tianzong sect is aloof from the world, so naturally they will not be easily distracted by changes in personnel matters.
However, Xiao Ling is not a serious Tianzong disciple after all. He can't let go of his sister, and he can't bear to see the death of his master Chi Songzi. He is far from peace and quiet.
It's just that his relationship with the Mohist family is really average. At most, he has the most basic sympathy for the Mohist family's experience. As for any sentimentality or lamentation, it is impossible.
When Tianming heard Shaoyu's explanation-like words, he nodded unconsciously. He seemed to understand Xiaoling's meaning, but he didn't seem to be very clear.
Shao Yu saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, so he slapped Tian Ming on the shoulder vigorously, giving him a jolt, and then spoke before Tian Ming got angry:
"Boy, do you know where we are going next?"
Tian Ming was obviously also interested in this, so he ignored the blow just now and asked, "Where are you going?"
Tianming, who just woke up yesterday and still hasn’t fully understood what happened on the day when the city was destroyed, certainly knows nothing about their current destination.
Seeing Tianming's enthusiasm, Shao Yu smiled proudly, and then replied, "It's Songhai City!"
"Sanghai...where is it?" an illiterate person who knew the number of cities could count them on one hand asked in confusion.
Xiao Ling interrupted and replied, "Songhai is a seaside city in the land of Qilu. It has strong trade and is quite prosperous."
"Qilu..." This time there was a word that Tianming understood. After thinking about it for a while, his face fell a little, "Qilu, isn't that the place my uncle and I passed before coming here!"
"But, that place is far away from the Gamble City, right?"
"What are you doing there?"
Even if you want to run away and find a new place to stay, you should choose a place that is not far or near - it is too risky to be close, and it is too dangerous to be far away, so it is not suitable.
