Watching Wu Dong's tall figure leave, Shang Xiuxun, the owner of Pegasus Ranch, was confused for a while.
Wu Dong's previous questions were like thunder exploding in his heart.
Isn't it okay to raise cattle, sheep, draft horses, and a small number of war horses on a large scale in pastures? If you have to raise war horses on a large scale, it will attract people's covetousness.
The people at Pegasus Ranch are not willing to give in. Do they want to become one of the financial backers of any princely force?
I'm afraid that Pegasus Ranch doesn't have the strength.
After saying this, Wu Dong stopped talking nonsense, greeted Lu Miaozi, placed an order for 10,000 cattle and draft horses, and then Shi Shiran left the manor's living room.
Shang Xiuxun was still in the mood to talk, so he could only show an apologetic smile to his uncle and nephew from the Song family, and was received by the other senior officials of Pegasus Ranch.
"Wu Dong, the second boss of Wagang, is on to something!"
After leaving the manor's living room and arriving at the temporary location arranged by Pegasus Ranch, Song Zhi couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "If Pegasus Ranch wants to continue to exist in the future, the number of war horses must be greatly reduced!"
"Then in the south, aren't there even fewer sources of war horses?"
Song Shidao said in confusion: "This is not good for our Song family, right?"
"The boat is in the south and the horse is in the north. If you want to defend the territory in the south, you must work hard on the boat!"
Song Zhi said with a smile: "Whether you have extra war horse resources is actually not that critical!"
"Second uncle, the second in charge of the Wagang Army is very arrogant!"
Song Shidao frowned and said, "It seems that you don't care about the name of our Song clan at all?"
"Humph, it's just a clown who suddenly emerged!"
Song Zhi said disdainfully: "I don't have enough foundation, I don't know when I will fall!"
The strength of the Wagang Army is similar to that of the rebel armies in other places, but it is because of its superior geographical location that it has become the focus of everyone's attention.
Up to now, we have only conquered a small area in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and there is still a long way to go before we can truly become bigger and stronger.
Due to their insufficient foundation, the Wagang Army cannot win but cannot be defeated. Once defeated, it is estimated that their morale will be greatly reduced, and they may even be unable to recover.
Of course Song Shidao didn't know, there were so many twists and turns in it.
He asked curiously: "By the way, second uncle, why did the second head of the Wagang Army suddenly appear in the Jianghuai area? This place is not close to the Wagang Army's home base!"
"I also have doubts!"
Song Zhi nodded happily and said in a deep voice: "As soon as we leave Pegasus Ranch, let the people from the family investigate!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but add: "The recent turmoil in the world is not very peaceful. You should be more careful in your actions in the future and don't be blindly impulsive!"
He was referring to the fact that when he first met Wu Dong, his nephew Song Shidao showed obvious hostility towards Wu Dong because of Shang Xiuxun, which was very bad.
It's not that you can't be sympathetic, but you can't show your attitude at will in front of a master who doesn't know your strength. This is a very dangerous thing.
If he met someone with a perverse temperament, he would immediately kill someone. Even Song Zhi was not sure that he could save his nephew's life from Wu Dong.
But obviously, Song Shidao did not understand this, but nodded to express his understanding.
As for what he understood but didn't say, Song Zhi naturally wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
It can only be said that the environment in the south was too friendly to Song Shidao. Before he was severely beaten by society, it would be difficult to change his aura of a young master.
Throughout the story of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Song Shidao's performance can definitely be called a humble gentleman.
The only mistake he ever made was falling in love with the Goguryeo female swordsman Fu Junzhuo.
This one mistake of his covered up all his good qualities.
If Song Que, the Heavenly Blade, hadn't been unaware, he might have had to clean up the door himself as soon as possible.
Are you kidding me? The Lingnan Song Clan has always regarded themselves as maintaining the unification of the Han Dynasty. It has even become the label of the Lingnan Song Clan, and it is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
As a result, Song Shidao, the successor, actually played this trick, which was simply shaking the foundation of the Song clan.
In other words, Fu Junzhuo died early, otherwise there would have been a big mess.
Song Shidao can choose to fall in love freely, but the prerequisite is that he voluntarily gives up the inheritance rights of the Song clan, or even takes the initiative to be expelled from the Song clan's family tree.
It is estimated that he does not have such courage, and most likely he will not be crazy enough to risk everything for love.
On the other side, Wu Dong, led by Lu Miaozi, came to this man's hermitage.
Wu Dong didn't bother to pay much attention to the environment and so on. He just asked Lu Miaozi to pack his bags as soon as possible so that they could set off as soon as possible.
Lu Miaozi didn't have much to say. While he politely entertained Wu Dong, he cautiously inquired about the specific reason why Wu Dong invited him.
"Didn't I say that I need your ability in miscellaneous studies to help develop something!"
Wu Dong chuckled and said: "You will know when we get to the place. I plan to imitate the First Emperor and build Chidao in the site to communicate!"
"Chi Dao?"
Lu Miaozi was taken aback and shook his head: "This is a big project!"
The implication is naturally very obvious, that is, with the strength of Wu Dong's Wagang Army, it is a joke to want to build Chidao.
Chidao is definitely a miraculous project during the First Emperor's period and is known as the ancient version of a highway.
With Chi Dao, the Qin Empire's control over local areas was not as tight as usual.
It is said that it takes ten days to reach the southernmost place from Xianyang via Chidao.
This speed is not much different from the slow green train.
Of course, this was definitely a huge project. It was completely abandoned as soon as the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. This was also because the two Han Dynasties could not afford to maintain it. Of course, there was also the idea of eliminating the traces of the Qin Dynasty.
As the most outstanding master of miscellaneous studies in the current era, Lu Miaozi has naturally seen the Chidao ruins in person and knows the effort required to build that thing.
"Don't worry!"
Wu Dong laughed and said leisurely: "To tell you the truth, a certain subordinate has 20,000 warriors comparable to those in the martial arts world, and the number is still increasing!"
"These warriors serve as the main labor force in building Chidao, are they enough?"
"Really?"
"Don't doubt it. Mr. Lu will understand it when we get to X's lair!"
"What do you want me to do?"
"Plan the construction direction and specifications of the track, and also study the mechanisms for walking on the track!"
"Don't you need a pack horse?"
"Of course we have to use pack horses in the beginning, but as the distance of the horse road increases, we have to use simple mechanisms, mechanisms that can generate power independently!"
"There are some records about this thing in ancient books, but it seems to use wind, water and underground heat. It's not easy for Chidao to use such a mechanism!"
"You really didn't find the wrong person!"
Wu Dong laughed and said with appreciation: "Mr. Lu is indeed a master of miscellaneous studies. I will have to ask Mr. Lu for help when the time comes!"
"no problem!"
Lu Miaozi hesitated, but finally said: "It's just that Lu provoked the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan when he was young. I'm afraid she won't let it go easily after hearing the news about Lu!"
"Can you tell me the specific reason?"
"This is related to the highest secret of the Demon Sect. You'd better not know about it!"
"The evil emperor's relics?"
"How did you know this?"
Lu Miaozi was shocked, and her face, which was not healthy at all, instantly turned pale.
If he hadn't known that he couldn't defeat Wu Dong, he would have killed him immediately.
The matter of the Evil Emperor's relics is definitely the top secret of the Demon Sect. Once it is leaked, the entire Demon Sect will pursue it frantically.
A single Yin Queen, Zhu Yuyan, could make him unlucky for almost decades. If all the power of the Demon Sect were to gather together, it would be scary to think about it.
"Tsk, Mr. Lu, there is no need to be so panicked!"
Wu Dong said with a smile: "He is like honey and I am like arsenic. I have no interest in the evil emperor's relics at all, and I will not talk about it casually!"
Seeing Lu Miaozi's disbelief, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It is said that the Evil Emperor's relics can contain Yuan Jing, which inevitably contains the spiritual imprint of those Evil Emperors during his lifetime!"
"If you just want to reach the master level, or the ordinary grand master level, there is no problem in borrowing the essence inside, and you can even create top masters in batches!"
"But if you want to enter the realm of the Supreme Grand Master, or even the realm of Shattered Void, it is just a dream!"
"That thing, I guess, was probably used by powerful people in recent times to store their own true energy and mana, rather than being a container for the remaining souls and essence!"
What he said was natural and well-founded.
Lu Miaozi was dumbfounded and asked subconsciously: "Your Excellency, how do you know so much?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew that he was a little bit too lazy, so he hurriedly said, "Haha, I am just a little too curious, please forgive me!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Wu Dong said calmly: "When you have the strength, you can naturally make guesses!"
Having said this, he shook his head and said: "Compared to the Evil Emperor's relics, I am more interested in the Jade Seal of the Kingdom!"
"It is said that the national jade seal also has some strange features. It has been infused with the fate of many dynasties respected by the people, and it has incredible power!"
Lu Miaozi's eyes widened, and he shook his head and said: "The imperial seal has been lost a long time ago!"
"Who said that?"
Wu Dong sneered and said: "It sounds like bad luck. According to the news I know, it is said that the national jade seal fell into the hands of a group of nuns!"
"The sacred weapon of the country, represented by the dignified Huaxia Zhengshuo, fell into the hands of Hu Jiao. I feel really unhappy!"
Cihang Jingzhai?
For some reason, after Lu Miaozi heard Wu Dong's words, he immediately thought of this sect, but he was just not sure.
In my heart, I was very sad and sighed. If what Wu Dong said was true, things would be very serious.
Of course, he didn't quite believe Wu Dong's words, as he was too trusting.
Damn it, even the Evil Emperor's relics are looked down upon. How high is your cultivation level? Is it possible that you are better than the original Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian?
I kept complaining in my heart, and my worries about Queen Zhu Yuyan slowly dissipated. Sometimes big words can be very inspiring...
