Before and after the Spring Festival, Dongcheng Wudi flew around the war zones in Central Continent almost every day, representing the parliament, cabinet and military department to visit the soldiers and officers who still stayed at their posts during the New Year.
Bai Qingqian was also busy with official duties in Liaodong.
The couple who had originally made an appointment with Li Tianlan to go to the desert to celebrate the New Year with him could only put down the matter temporarily and instead celebrated the Lantern Festival together.
This year, as Dongcheng Qiuchi and Zou Yuanshan stepped into high positions one after another, work became even busier. Dongcheng Ru was in a coma again. The Dongcheng family was extremely deserted. The relationship between the old man Dongcheng Hanguang and his brother Dongcheng Hanjian was not harmonious.
Although it's not far away, I'm too lazy to spend the New Year together, so I just came to Bai's house in Youzhou.
During such a sensitive period, Dongcheng Hanguang, the former standing minister of the Central Continent Military Department, spent the New Year at the Bai family, which naturally aroused countless speculations. Countless people believed that this was the voice of the wealthy group's strong integration within the group to prepare for an increasingly severe situation.
, Therefore, the senior officials of the Prince Group and the academic group have met several times in private to discuss countermeasures. Although Dongcheng Hanguang has retired for several years, his status as a veteran of Zhongzhou has not changed at all, not to mention within the wealthy group, even in the other five major groups.
The group has Dongcheng Hanguang's old subordinates, and most of them are now in high positions or have just retired. Such an old man has an extremely huge influence. Every possible targeted action of his is enough to make everyone
They are all facing a formidable enemy.
These high-ranking officials seemed to have never thought that Dongcheng Hanguang came to Youzhou just because of the loneliness of an old man in his later years.
His son and daughter-in-law are not here, his grandson and grandson-in-law are not here, his godson is not here, and his grandson is not here. In previous years, his old friend who would come to drink some wine and play chess with him every Spring Festival also left with the rain in Lin'an a few months ago. He died.
Death, busyness, imprisonment, coma, this year has been extremely tortuous for Dongcheng Hanguang. Under the depression in his heart, this old man who once dominated the highest stage in Central Continent almost fell into a coma in the shortest time.
He has become much older, and it seems that only when he comes to Youzhou and faces Bai Zhanfang, an old friend who should have retired long ago but is still strong, can he feel calmer.
The fourteenth day of the first lunar month.
afternoon.
Dongcheng Hanguang and Bai Zhanfang were sitting in the pavilion of the manor, silently looking at the chessboard in front of them, lost in thought.
"Wudi can't come?"
Bai Zhanfang asked softly while playing with the chess pieces in his hand.
"Well, he said he was a little busy and had something to do. He just came out of the Eastern War Zone and is going back to the Central Plains. Qing Qian is already waiting for him there."
Dongcheng Hanguang's tone was a little low: "Today's dinner is just us two old guys again."
"What are they doing back to the Central Plains at this time?"
Bai Zhanfang shook his head, a little helpless. Dongcheng Hanguang made it clear that Bai Qingqian was waiting for him in the Central Plains. This meant that Dongcheng Wudi would not come back, and Bai Qingqian would not come back either.
Dongcheng's cold eyes flashed, and he said thoughtfully: "Wudi is going to Hangu Pass..."
"Hangu Pass?"
The surprise in Bai Zhanfang's eyes flashed away. As the largest military-industrial family in Central Continent, Dongcheng Wudi has a classified weapons research institute near Hangu Pass. Bai Zhanfang is very aware of this, and now domestic individual weapons and
Dongcheng Wuwu, a leader in the field of metal alloys, stayed in that weapons research institute almost all year round. The fallen stars that Li Tianlan once used were also made by Dongcheng Wuwu.
"In that case, Wuyi has made a new discovery? But there is something wrong. Qingqian will not follow this matter."
"So this new discovery probably has nothing to do with Middle-earth."
Dongcheng Hanguang squinted his eyes, remembering about half a year ago.
At that time, Li Tianlan was imprisoned in the desert prison, but Dongcheng Wudi took out the Xuanyuan Sword from the prison and handed it to Qin Weibai.
At that time, Qin Weibai had not yet gone abroad. She went directly from Youzhou to the Central Plains, begging to see Dongcheng Hanguang, and asked Dongcheng Hanguang to make an appointment with Dongcheng Wuwu.
Qin Weibai brought several boxes with her that day. Dongcheng Hanguang didn't know what she said to Dongcheng Wuwu, but when she said goodbye and left, the boxes in her hand disappeared.
After that, Dongcheng Wuwu went directly to the military research institute near Hangu Pass, and there was no news from him until now.
He thought silently, picked up a chess piece, and said slowly: "It should be a good thing."
Bai Zhanfang thought for a moment, nodded seriously, and put down the chess piece in his hand: "I won."
Dongcheng Hanguang lowered his head and glanced.
The densely packed chessboard has interlaced black and white, which has long turned into an extremely complex pattern.
As the white square moves, the five white characters on the chessboard have been connected diagonally into a line.
"Good move."
Dongcheng Hanguang thought solemnly for a long time before nodding: "Let's start again."
...
When the plane landed at the secret research institute near Hangu Pass, night had fallen. A black car with a local license plate was parked next to the helicopter. Bai Qingqian stood in front of the car and looked at Dongcheng Wudi who walked out of the cabin with a smile.
, eyes gentle and quiet.
"The Eastern War Zone has been delaying for a long time, so it's too late."
Dongcheng Wudi shook his wife's hand. Her palm was a little cold in the cold weather.
"It's okay, I just arrived not long ago."
Bai Qingqian said softly: "What did eldest brother ask us to do? He just said that there is something very important about Tianlan."
"It should be about Xuanyuan Sword."
Dongcheng Wudi didn't waste any time and led Bai Qingqian towards the gate of the base: "A few months ago, I gave the Xuanyuan Sword to Qin Weibai, and Qin Weibai gave it to the eldest brother. Today, the eldest brother called us over. What's the matter?
Has the result been achieved?"
"Why should you give Xuanyuan Sword to eldest brother?"
Bai Qingqian was a little curious.
"have no idea."
Dongcheng Wudi shook his head: "Since then, the eldest brother has been staying here and cut off contact with the outside world. It was not until a few hours ago that he contacted me for the first time."
Under the cover of night, in front of the seemingly shabby little villa, a thin figure was standing there. When he saw Dongcheng Wudi and his wife coming, he took a step forward, nodded, and said dullly: "Wudi, Qingqian,
coming."
"Brother."
Dongcheng Wudi nodded, his eyes a little strange: "Why did you end up like this?"
Dongcheng Wuwu chuckled. In fact, although the relationship between Dongcheng Hanguang and Dongcheng Hanjian was tense, there were not many conflicts of interest. Although they looked down on Dongcheng Hanguang, Dongcheng Hanjian was extremely good at Dongcheng Wudi, so the two old men fell in love with each other.
The relationship between the two generations is also very strong, and there is nothing strange about it.
"Hey..."
Dongcheng Wuwu smiled, feeling a little proud. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight in the past few months. He originally looked like a rigorous and serious scholar. He was now dirty all over his body. His beard seemed to have not been shaved for a long time. It looked like
He was a little sloppy, but an unprecedented look gathered in his eyes, making his whole mood look extremely exciting.
"follow me."
Dongcheng Wudi directly grabbed Dongcheng Wudi's arm and dragged him in. As he walked, he said, "I'm going to show you something incredible."
Dongcheng Wudi was helplessly pulled away. Dongcheng Wudi's speed became faster and faster. In desperation, Dongcheng Wudi simply stretched out his hand to pick up Bai Qingqian's still light body and hugged him in his arms. Bai Qingqian's face turned red and she lightly
He gave Dongcheng Wudi a light hammer, but didn't refute anything.
Dongcheng Wudi giggled, his eyes a little dazed.
Dongcheng Wudi didn't notice the abnormality behind him at all. He pulled the two of them into the elevator excitedly. It seemed that he was too excited and entered the wrong password twice in a row. Dongcheng Wudi was shocked. This secret
The research base can be said to be one of the most important bases of the Dongcheng family. The security measures are extremely strict. Once the password is entered incorrectly for the third time, the elevator will self-destruct and the entire base will explode. He does not want such an important base to be destroyed in Dongcheng Endless
of excitement.
He entered the password quickly, then looked at Dongcheng Wufen who was so happy and unconscious, and said helplessly: "Which floor is it?"
"Second basement floor."
Dongcheng Wudi smiled and spoke.
Dongcheng Wudi pressed the button, and as the elevator descended, he said helplessly: "What discovery can make you so excited?"
Dongcheng Wuwu rubbed his hands and became more and more interested: "I successfully dismantled the vicious soldiers and recorded most of the data."
"Violent soldiers?!"
Dongcheng Wudi was startled: "Which one?"
"Not a handful."
Dongcheng Wuwu shook his head: "The falling blue water, the falling stars, the twilight of the gods, the divine light of the void."
He stretched out four fingers and smiled proudly: "I dismantled four vicious weapons!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Dongcheng Wudi seemed to choke on his saliva, coughed violently, and his face turned red: "Four vicious weapons?!"
"Yes, four."
"Demolished?!"
"Tear it down."
"When can it be restored?"
"Why restore? It's all been dismantled. It can't be restored. The disassembly was very thorough."
"...."
The elevator stopped.
Dongcheng Wudi, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, stood in the elevator, staring blankly at Dongcheng Wubi, whose face was glowing red.
"so..."
The elevator door opens and closes.
Dongcheng Wudi didn't dare to move for a while. He looked at Dongcheng Wudi and said with some expectation: "So, brother, after analyzing the data of the fierce soldiers, can you make batches of the fierce soldiers?"
"That can't be done."
Dongcheng Wuwu shook his head honestly: "The fierce weapon is a very special energy source, and there is no way to copy it. However, after recording most of the data, I can improve some of the existing firearms, such as Sky Strike.
The power of the Sky Strike before it is very high, it can directly hit the target within a distance of 300 meters, and can even kill Thunder Realm masters."
"What about after improvement? Can it threaten the invincible masters?"
Dongcheng Wudi asked urgently.
Dongcheng Wudi looked at him as if he were an idiot and shook his head: "How is that possible?"
He smiled and felt a little proud: "However, the improved Sky Strike's limit distance has been increased. It can be increased by tens of meters. If it hits the target within 350 meters, it can still kill Thunder Realm masters."
"..."
silence.
Dongcheng Wudi waited patiently for a while.
But Dongcheng Wutang has finished talking.
It's really all said and done.
"Just adding some distance?"
Dongcheng Wudi asked in disbelief.
"Although the distance has increased by dozens of meters, it is still important, okay?"
Dongcheng Wuwu was a little dissatisfied.
Dongcheng Wudi was shaken in his heart. Of course he knew that the distance of these tens of meters was very important, especially when shooting at Thunder Realm masters. The distance of these tens of meters could almost be said to be the line between life and death.
But four ferocious weapons!
Dongcheng Wudi dismantled four priceless weapons just to add a little distance to a standard equipment?
"You...you're a loser!!! Our four fierce soldiers!!!"
The blue sky falls on the yellow spring, and the falling stars.
Ragnarok, the divine light of the void.
Two came from Li Tianlan and Samsara Palace, and two were the trophies of Samsara Palace in Eastern Europe.
Four fierce soldiers...
"Where are the four more ferocious weapons?"
Dongcheng Wuwu shook his head and said seriously: "There are no more. To be precise, there will no longer be these four ferocious weapons in the dark world from now on."
Dongcheng Wudi's body was trembling. At this moment, he really wanted to kneel down: "Those four ferocious weapons... no, they are the pile of parts that you dismantled. Where are they now?"
Dongcheng Wuwu glanced at him, remained slightly silent, and then said: "I was eaten."
"..."
"I%￥￥......"
Dongcheng Wudi's expression was distorted, and all his movements seemed to be frozen for a moment.
Dongcheng's endless voice continued to sound as the elevator opened and closed: "They were all eaten by Xuanyuan Sword."
