Once the Yunzhou Governor's Office is operating at full capacity, the efficiency is quite terrifying.
In fact, in order to clear out the turtle bandits, Yunzhou has been operating at full capacity for several months. The army, the district inspection department and other yamen are operating at full capacity. Even the teaching camp has been emptied. However, under the strict order of Marquis Gao Yuan, it can still be crowded. He used some manpower to form a new team for Tang Zhao to complete his mission.
Tang Zhao originally thought that his plan to face the sword was simple and straightforward, requiring luck and courage at most.
He first activated the formation to try to communicate. If he could be teleported, he would discuss with Jianzhi face to face how to evacuate from Yunzhou. If the formation failed, he would dive down from the river and visit Jianzhi. The most difficult thing is to go into the water to ask for a visit. It's just a matter of tone. But once this proposal is actually implemented as a serious matter, it is not that simple.
That is a major matter that concerns the people of a state, and may even be the only life-saving straw in the future. How can it be solved by just jumping over it?
For example, for the communication and summoning formation, Tang Zhao only confirmed the efficacy of the formation based on Bai Ni's text reference and his understanding of the runic formation, and basically recognized it as "inseparable." I think it should work", but if we really dig into it, it's not enough.
Now this formation is being studied by Xue Xianyun and his disciples. Not only must it thoroughly confirm its efficacy and principles, but also strive to trace the location and method of its connection. It is best to directly lock the coordinates on the opposite side. If it can be based on It would be better to change the principle, omit the step of getting a response from the other party, forcefully send more people there, or establish a more direct and open dialogue channel.
In order to study this rare high-level talisman formation, Xue Xianyun not only came to Zhongtian Mansion from Zhuoyu Villa, but also brought other true disciples including Jiang Shenyi. Except for Xue Yeyu who became a swordsman and was traveling around, Zhu Ying still Without leaving home, all the other disciples came to Zhongtian Mansion and worked overtime in the Zhujian Pavilion, suddenly sharing most of Tang Zhao's research work.
It wasn't until Xue Xianyun started targeted research that Tang Zhao realized that he was too inflated. It was indeed rare to become a swordsman at such a young age. It was just a flutter. Did he think he was something big in the Fu Shi Dao? character?
Winning the perfect score in the Talisman Society is great, but at most it can be regarded as winning a rookie award on his debut, right? The master has been immersed in Talisman for decades and is a Lifetime Achievement Award-level figure. At most, he has wasted a little on making swords. Yes, but Fu Shi's profession is much deeper than his own.
Even if they haven't learned advanced talismans involving time, and they all need to ask for advice, it's because Xue Xianyun has a wide network of contacts. After being in the talisman sword master world for many years, he not only made enemies with people, but also made friends. !
Now that his glasses were broken and he could no longer provide research plug-ins, Tang Zhao really didn't have much advantage, so he simply trusted Xue Xianyun and waited for the No. 1 Talisman Sword Master in Yunzhou to figure out the formation.
In addition, research in other aspects is also being carried out intensively.
Needless to say, Dongjun’s research on the Golden Crow Sword is related to the character and ability of the unknown sword, as well as how to establish contact with it safely and efficiently. Zhang Rong personally presided over it, excerpting information from various classics, and covering all aspects. When conducting research, you must be thorough.
Even Baini's information was being studied. Someone stared at each word of the few words left by Baini in Tang Zhao's hands. The symbols on Baini's coffin board were even unclear to Tang Zhao. He also copied the words and analyzed them one by one. The efficiency was much higher than if Tang Zhao worked alone.
Therefore, Tang Zhao changed from the main researcher in the camp to half a student and an audience. When everyone came up with some research results, he rushed over to study, and maybe combined the existing information and progress to put forward some directions for the scholars to do. Reference, but mainly for learning.
The content is being studied here, and the materials are being prepared over there.
Especially after Gao Yuanhou observed the movements underground, he already believed that material preparations were more important.
Tang Zhao had previously speculated that the Tongyang River water was very warm in Yunzhou, but the temperature was the highest in Zhongtian Mansion, especially in the section outside the city gate. The river water had an extremely high temperature and was full of the power of the sun. Perhaps that is The closest entrance to the Golden Crow Sword. Later, Marquis Gao Yuan's observation proved this. So they just didn't want to go into the water. The water had to be near Zhongtian Mansion.
And this operation is highly top-secret and must not be leaked. As long as it is leaked even a little bit, not to mention Caiyungui coming down from the front to look for trouble, the unrest in people's hearts caused by the news of the catastrophe is enough to explode Yunzhou. But Zhongtian Mansion With so many people coming and going, it is extremely difficult to keep secrets in any corner of the city.
Therefore, their team needs a base that is close to Zhongtian Mansion, is convenient for setting up formations, has easy access to water, and can be kept secret.
Fortunately, there is a ready-made one right in front of us - the training camp of the District Procuratorate.
The training camp of the District Inspectorate is close to Zhongtian Mansion, but it is hidden on the side of Hezhou, surrounded by dense forests and mountains. It used to be independent from the outside world, and not many people knew about it. It has a high-walled fortress, hoards supplies, and only provides closed training for young people. Used. At this time, the previous class of students had graduated and the new class had not yet been recruited, so it happened to be vacant. It couldn't be better.
Therefore, Tang Zhao returned to the training camp again after two months, and this time he was already the commander-in-chief of the camp.
Although almost all the teams have been changed, even the names have been changed.
This place is now codenamed "Chaoyang Camp".
In the Chaoyang camp, there are gathered Yunzhou's strongest Talisman talents and historical talents. They are piled with supplies, ancient books, precious materials related to the sun, treasures that can protect water and fire, and gifts that the Golden Crow Sword may only like. .There are also personnel transferred from various places who may be of use.
All these manpower and material resources were managed by Tang Zhao, which made Tang Zhao's head as big as a bucket.
Tang Zhao may not have management talents, but he really has no management experience. In the past, given his age and status, he was mostly in the position of being managed. At most, he served as a teaching teacher, and that was mainly teaching. How could he have managed such a A big deal?
For such a large and important project, there are nearly a hundred people in the training camp alone. The number of people involved is several times more, and the material throughput is also staggering. It is very energy-consuming just to arrange the daily activities of the personnel to ensure that no trouble occurs.
He felt that he was not good at this and was too busy to do anything. He really didn't have the energy, so he might as well choose another wise man. He could just concentrate on preparing to get close to the sword.
But Marquis Gao Yuan refused, saying: "The core of this matter is you, and you can only be the leader. The time is so tight. If the person in charge is divided into two people, wouldn't it be a mistake if something goes wrong during the running-in? As for no, it can be done. Learn. You don’t want to learn when you are just a teenager? Do you think there are any swordsmen who don’t lead a team? A person’s character, wisdom, and talent may be different, but as long as you are strong, there will be people who will rely on you, and you will have many people under you. Once you become a leader, you will naturally become a leader, shouldering the responsibility of leading everyone. You cannot push him away. When a swordsman goes to the front line, he must lead a team to fight independently. I think you have this potential, and you must learn it sooner or later. From this time on Let’s start learning.”
Fortunately, Marquis Gao Yuan did not just rush to the shelves, but also assigned him a deputy, Dong Xingyu from the training camp, who was his partner when he was doing teachings. The two got along well at the time, and Dong Xingyu also supported himself independently when the mountain leader was away.
The management skills of the training camp for several months helped Tang Zhao keep an eye on the trivial matters at the base.
Although Tang Zhao is a swordsman, he is not experienced enough to learn humbly. He should listen to Dong Xingyu's advice on matters. If it doesn't work, he can also ask Zhang Rong, who is in charge of data research in the temporary camp.
Maintained orderly.
It would be great if everything in this world could be done well if you study hard and work hard.
But in fact, it wasn't. When the base here was on track, troubles over there came one by one.
First of all, no good news came from the outside world regarding the encirclement and suppression of the turtle bandits.
Although everyone in Yunzhou has tightened the net tighter and tighter, almost to the point of airtightness, no big fish have been caught, only some insignificant shrimps. It seems that the power of the turtle bandits has been completely eradicated.
Yunzhou.
But who can prove that the turtle bandits have died down and given up their plans?
What if they still have deep-seated forces secretly planning the conspiracy? What if the formation that Zhou Chengzhi mastered is wrong, and the real formation has actually been arranged silently? What if they are just waiting for them to relax their vigilance?
, what if you immediately counterattack once you relax?
The consequences of this incident were so serious that no one could say the word "give up".
But how long can it last if the net is tightened all the time?
Marquis Gao Yuan's subordinates are already extremely loyal and capable, and they can still persevere, but the funds will not last long. As the saying goes, food and grass must be sent before the soldiers and horses are mobilized. The manpower and material resources mobilized this time are not inferior to a war, and the daily price of food and grass supplies is high.
No matter how rich Yunzhou is, it will not be able to sustain the spending. What's more, Yunzhou is only considered relatively good among the northern states and counties, and its savings are not strong.
Although Tang Zhao stayed behind closed doors in the base, he clearly felt that the pressure had been transmitted in. After more than a month, this pressure has shrouded everyone in the base. Although Gao Yuanhou has not sent anyone to urge him, but
The outside world is mobilizing resources and transmitting information more and more frequently, and it is obvious that it cannot help but tighten up.
Yunzhou doesn't want to end in vain and wants a result. Can Chaoyang Base provide the result?
Tang Zhao speeded up the summary of research, and after receiving another batch of precious gifts from the outside world for the "Golden Crow Sword", he was ready to start trying the first teleportation.
At this time, he had invited Xiang Yangzi over from Bai Yujing, who was also the only teammate he prepared for this summons. Everyone else stayed away.
Xiang Yangzi was very excited to know that he could go to the current Golden Crow Sword. He was accompanied by the two swordsmen Bai Yujing into the base. After seeing Xiang Yangzi off, the two swordsmen did not return to Yunshang, but joined Yunzhou's operation.
To show the sincerity of alliance.
When Xiang Yangzi came, he also brought the Qianqiu Tower. Because there is a complete original formation on the top floor of the Qianqiu Tower. Although Tang Zhao can already use the sword elephant to copy the formation, to be sure, it is better to move the original version.
On February 12, the birthday of the previous Lord Dongjun Juqing, Tang Zhao opened the teleportation array and made his first call.
