The cold wind in the north is getting stronger and stronger, the sky is filled with dark clouds, and the dark snow clouds make people breathless.
The cold wind and storm mean that the ghost tribe may invade at any time, and the decisive battle between the human race and the ghost tribe is coming.
Everyone in Yanmen Pass knows that this battle is a decisive battle between humans and ghosts. If you win, you will go home and hug your wife. If you lose, you will die.
There is a huge stone weighing on everyone's heart.
Wu Jian is stepping up his training of elite troops. He lost more than 10,000 people in the Yuncheng defense battle. He must seize the time to train his troops. .??.
According to the information sent back by Feng He, the strength of the ghost clan is around 100,000. If Yanmen Pass wants to withstand it, it must have a considerable number of troops.
Zhang Qian passed by the military camp, looked at the elite soldiers being trained, and walked quickly towards the empress' room.
When they arrived at the door, the shadow guard reported that Zhang Qian walked into the room.
"The last general, Zhang Qian, pays homage to His Majesty."
Zhang Qian wore armor and bowed her hands to the empress.
The empress was reading the memorials. Emperor Yuwei sent a batch of new memorials from the capital. They were related to world affairs and the empress' approval was required.
"sit down."
The empress raised her head and pointed to the chair next to her. Zhang Qian sat down and the shadow guard poured a cup of tea.
Zhang Qian thanked her and was sitting upright on her chair without drinking tea, waiting for the empress to review the memorial.
Sometimes, some things are etiquette but not real.
Just like this cup of tea, the shadow guard poured the tea to give Zhang Qian face and explain the empress's attitude.
But Zhang Qian can't drink. It would be rude to drink.
After reviewing the memorial, the empress put down her ink pen and rubbed her sore eyebrows. The shadow guard immediately poured a cup of tea.
The empress took a sip of tea and said, "How has your military training been recently?"
Zhang Qian replied truthfully: "Fortunately, everything is normal, but the time is not long enough and the warrior's cultivation level is not high enough."
Military training does not happen overnight. If we follow the normal rhythm, it will take at least two years.
But the war is imminent, Zhang Qian doesn't have so much time, and neither does the empress. "There is nothing we can do, we are just weaker than the ghost clan."
The empress sighed slightly, the human race was inherently inferior to the ghost race, and this could not be changed.
"But fortunately, there are no more dead soldiers of the Martial Saint, and the most powerful enemy has been eliminated."
"The people who were captured had less time to train than we did."
"As for the soldiers of the ghost clan, most of them have never fought in a battle. Although their cultivation is high, their battle experience is not as good as ours."
The empress felt that the gap between the human race and the ghost race was not as big as imagined. In this battle in winter, they should be evenly matched, and the human race could even have the upper hand.
Zhang Qian said: "Thanks to the Holy Master for destroying the veterans of the Martial Saint in Yuncheng."
The empress smiled and said: "Stop flattering me, I destroyed everything because Long Chen arrived in time."
Zhang Qian smiled and did not continue to flatter.
As everyone knows, the Empress could not kill Wu Sheng at that time. Fortunately, Long Chen arrived in time, otherwise Yuncheng would not be protected.
Of course, the empress is the emperor and the highest authority, so Zhang Qian must flatter the empress.
This is the way to behave as a subordinate. Everyone can hear your words of flattery, but you still have to say them.
If you don't say it, you are out of line and disrespectful of your superiors.
"There is an errand that requires you to go personally."
The empress returned to the topic, and Zhang Qian immediately stood up and bowed: "Please give me your edict."
The empress didn't say anything, Zhang Qian had already taken the call.
The mission of the empress is the imperial decree. No matter what happens, Zhang Qian must obey the decree, so Zhang Qian doesn't ask anything.
"Take this, take it to Yuncheng, and hand it over to Long Chen."
The empress took out an inconspicuous object from the side and wrapped it with ordinary linen. Inside was the ghost clan's holy sword Storm Sword.
Zhang Qian looked at the linen in the Empress' hand with confusion. The Empress said
Said: "This is the Holy Sword of the Ghost Clan. Long Chen wants to use it. I can't trust the others, so you should go there."
The Storm Sword is no small matter. There is a long way from Yanmen Pass to Yuncheng. The person delivering the sword must have sufficient cultivation and the most important thing is loyalty. He must be absolutely loyal and reliable.
Therefore, the empress chose Zhang Qian.
"The final general's decree."
When the empress mentioned the Storm Sword, Zhang Qian immediately understood the importance of the matter.
"You are leaving right away, don't delay, and be careful on the road."
The empress handed the linen bag to Zhang Qian, who took it and left the room.
After finding two good horses, Zhang Qian quietly rode away from Yanmen Pass without telling anyone.
.
Linglong Pavilion.
After two days of rest, several female workers had eaten and drank enough and entered the forging room wearing thin coarse clothes.
Gongsun Linglong read the Empress' letter again, and it clearly stated how to recreate the Phoenix Wing Boring.
Closing her eyes, Gongsun Linglong went through it carefully in her mind to make sure she was familiar with it.
After carefully collecting the letter and putting it in a cabinet aside, Gongsun Linglong drank half a bottle of water.
Pick up the phoenix wing boring machine, take out the machete, and prepare all the materials.
Gongsun Linglong shouted: "Fire, fire!"
Several female workers immediately lit a blazing fire, and the temperature in the forging room instantly increased.
The blast furnace made a whining sound, and the fireworks slowly burned into blue, and finally turned into a dazzling white.
Gongsun Linglong picked up the phoenix-wing boring machine and put it into the furnace.
Seeing the Phoenix Wing Boring turning into liquid, Gongsun Linglong felt very nervous.
The phoenix-wing boring machine handed down from Taizu of Great Zhou Dynasty was melted by her own hands.
She didn't know if she could forge a new Phoenix Wing Boring. If she failed, she would never be able to see the Empress again.
No, I will definitely succeed!
Gongsun Linglong secretly encouraged herself, grabbed the black moon, carefully put it into the furnace, and watched the black moon being melted.
< br> Gongsun Linglong took out the mold and prepared to pour out the melted liquid.
The forging process will be very long and will last for more than ten days, if it goes well.
Gongsun Linglong was fully focused, and the female workers in the forge were also very focused.
The forging of this weapon is related to the overall situation of the war.
.
While Gongsun Linglong was concentrating on rebuilding the phoenix-wing boring machine in Linglong Pavilion, Zhang Qian had just arrived in Yuncheng.
Outside the north city is the newly established military camp. Zhang Qian entered from the east gate.
Zhang Qian dismounted at the General's Mansion. Long Chen heard that Zhang Qian was here and came out of the room happily.
"It was freezing cold when I went to bed last night, and you are here today. It's so heartwarming."
Long Chen walked forward with a smile and hugged Zhang Qian, feeling the warmth in his arms.
Zhang Qian saw people around and whispered: "Be careful, there are people around."
Long Chen smiled and pulled Zhang Qian into the house and closed the door. Long Chen couldn't wait to hug Zhang Qian and play with her.
"Why are you so anxious? Jiali and Tingting are both here, and there's not enough for you to play with."
Zhang Qian put down her things, took off her coat, and patted the dust on her body.
Long Chen smiled and said: "The two of them are not as old as you, and the two of them combined are not as good as you."
Neither Dugu Jiali nor Bai Tingting are ambitious women, and Zhang Qian is the equal of all four of them.
"If you can, tell them in front of them and see if they don't eat you."
Zhang Qian laughed and cursed.
Bai Tingting has a fierce personality. If Bai Tingting hears this, she will definitely punish Long Chen.
Long Chen smiled and said: "They are training troops outside the city, so you can't hear them."
"You have come a long way, and I will take care of you."
After untying his outer clothes, Long Chen held it down with a smile.
Zhang Qian smiled and scolded: "How can you take the wind and wash away the dust? The Holy One sent me here for business."
Long Chen smiled and said: "This is my business, let's talk about other things."
