The secret room was opened, and Master Ziyun and the three of them were practicing.
A faint layer of purple appeared faintly all over Master Ziyun's body. This was Master Ziyun's unique skill - Zixiao Secret Technique.
Seeing this, the Ghost Shadow Technique inspired Zixiao's secret technique, and Master Ziyun's cultivation level improved again.81Zw.????m
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi's hair and eyebrows were covered with frost, and their faces were also covered in white frost, making them look like sculptures.
Under her body covered with white frost, the empress saw that Di Luoxi's hands were slowly thawing.
The Hundred Birds Chao Feng Jue cultivates the true energy of the fire phoenix. If you practice it to the extreme, you can activate the fire phoenix.
The empress wanted to wake them up, but it seemed that they had reached a critical moment.
The empress exited the secret room and closed the stone door again.
"Go and prepare. We'll leave the day after tomorrow."
Yingfeng had just returned, and the Empress ordered that the carriages and horses be prepared immediately.
Long Chen came out of Fengming Palace, exited the South City Gate, and soon arrived at the South Camp of the Long Family Army.
At the gate of the camp, Wu Jian was talking to two people, Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai.
After the two people left Prince Wu's Mansion, they found an inn to stay, and then went to Nanda Camp to take a peek.
They wanted to see what the Long Family Army was like, but were discovered by patrolling soldiers. Wu Jian came out to check and found that it was the two of them.
Long Chen rode his horse over, and Wu Jian immediately shouted: "Young General!"
Seeing Long Chen, Hu Feiyang and Hu Feiyang looked ashamed and embarrassed to raise their heads.
"How come the old general has time to come to our Long Family Army camp? Since he is here, let's go in and take a look."
Long Chen entered the camp with a smile, and Wu Jian smiled and said: "Both generals are here, come in and take a look."
Hu Feiyang said: "Let's go and take a look, Long Chen is still a junior, why are you embarrassed?"
Qiu Kuohai felt the same way. He was an elder after all, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Following Wu Jian into the military camp, the Long family army was training.
Wearing cyan armor, holding a weapon made of sacred wood in his hand, the arrows of the crossbow were replaced with demon-suppressing stones, and Han Ziping was commanding.
The 200,000 Long family troops changed their formations in an orderly manner as the flags changed.
Qiu Kuohai whispered: "Stronger than Long Ye's troops."
Hu Feiyang nodded slightly. They had seen the Long Family Army before, and the 200,000 Long Family Army in front of them was stronger than the previous one.
While the two were watching outside, Long Chen and Wu Jian entered the meeting hall.
Han Ziping, Tang Heizi, Ye Chang, Gan Zhen and other generals came in quickly, followed by Meng Yidao and Zhuang Ling'er, and finally Mei Yu, Hu Qiaotong, Yue Sisi and others.
At the beginning, he recruited nine people in Linhu City. Meng Yidao and Zhuang Ling'er were the most loyal. They became generals in the military camp. The armors they wore also belonged to the Long family army.
The other seven people arranged a house in the capital city and usually practiced by themselves. Long Chen didn't care much about them.
Long Chen sat down and said: "Everyone, please sit down."
Everyone sat down and Long Chen said: "We will start the day after tomorrow and march into Yanmen Pass. I know everyone is very tired, but there is nothing we can do. The ghost invasion is imminent and we have no choice."
"You have to make peace with the soldiers and let them know that this battle is related to the safety of everyone in the Central Plains, including their families."
"If a soldier needs anything, tell me everything and I will try my best to meet it."
Pre-war propaganda and mobilization are very important. If soldiers are mentally prepared and willing to follow their generals in fighting, they can win.
If the soldiers do not know what the general is going to do, or are passive and lazy in fighting, the war will definitely be lost.
Wu Jian said: "Brothers have seen ghost fetuses and all know how powerful the ghost clan is. Winter clothes have been issued and weapons are sufficient, but boots don't seem to be enough."
Yanmenguan is too cold in winter, and ordinary shoes don't warm your feet at all. This is a big problem.
Long Chen asked: "How much is left?"
Han Ziping said: "There are still more than 30,000 pairs left, and many brothers' boots are rotten."
Without their legs and feet, soldiers can't fight, especially in the ice and snow in the north.
Long Chen said: "First go to the city to make urgent purchases, and then use cotton shoes to prop it up."
"Boots need leather. We may not have many capitals, but Yanmen Pass has many..."
Long Chen asked Tu Zhi to lead the barbarians to retreat to the south of Yanmen Pass. They had a lot of leather, so just buy it from them when the time comes.
With leather, you also need a shoemaker...
Zhuang Ling'er guessed Long Chen's thoughts and said: "Sir, although Yanmen Pass can buy leather from the barbarians, there are no shoemakers to make shoes. I'm afraid..."
Long Chen thought for a while and said: "I will tell the Holy One to urgently recruit a hundred shoemakers to accompany the army on the expedition."
Wu Jian said: "I'm afraid one hundred shoemakers are not enough. We need at least 30,000 pairs."
The current gap is 30,000 pairs. After the war begins, the boots will be damaged and need to be replaced, requiring more quantities.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have a solution."
As long as there are shoemakers, we can copy the assembly line production method, recruit local people, and each person will do a link, and the boots will be enough.
Long Chen said there is a way, then there must be a way, and no one will say anything else.
"Besides boots, are you missing anything else?"
Wu Jian thought for a while and said: "Everything else is lacking, we are all preparing."
Long Chen nodded and said: "Okay, that's it, we'll set off the day after tomorrow."
"The soldiers recruited by Nanliang will not move for the time being. Let them continue training in the military camp."
"Tell Luo Qiwei not to take it lightly and watch them closely."
The soldiers of Nanliang were training in the military camp in the north, and Luo Qiwei's Beida camp was watching.
Long Chen still didn't trust these soldiers, so he asked Luo Qiwei to keep an eye on them.
Wu Jian nodded, these people can only be used by Long Chen after they subdue Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai.
"That's it, I'm leaving first."
Long Chen stood up and sent the generals out the door.
Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai were watching the artillery firing artillery shells.
The cannon was fired and a stone slab was shattered into pieces. The two of them were shocked to see it.
"Have you finished reading? I'm going back, let's go together."
Long Chen mounted his horse, and Hu Feiyang reluctantly left the military camp.
Walking on the road, Hu Feiyang asked: "They said you invented that thing, how did you come up with it? I remember that the Long Family Army did not have this thing."
Hu Feiyang knew very well that the equipment used by the Long family's army in Longye was very good, but they did not have gunpowder.
How on earth did Long Chen come up with such a powerful thing?
Long Chen smiled and said: "The gods gave me a dream, and you will be able to do it when you wake up. You can also try it."
Qiu Kuohai was speechless and said: "Long Chen, we are your elders after all, can you tell the truth?"
Long Chen said: "That's the truth. Gods entrusted me with dreams. Otherwise, where did it come from? Did you teach me? Or did Li Chengdao teach me?"
Gunpowder transcends eras and cannot be explained.
Hu Feiyang did not continue to dwell on the gunpowder issue and asked: "When will we set off?"
Long Chen said: "The day after tomorrow, get ready and gather at the north gate."
After entering the city, Long Chen went to Miaoyin's house, while Hu Feiyang and the two returned to the inn to stay.
...
Northern border, snowy mountains.
The cold wind howled outside, and the heavy snow finally fell, and the entire snow-capped mountains were covered in white.
The ghost child sat on the crystal seat, slowly opened his eyes, and said, "It's time, let's go."
Li Chengdao stood up slowly and asked, "Where is the Holy Son going?"
