The eastern coastal area of the empire, Langya Palace.
The construction site of this palace, which was built for His Majesty the Emperor's third eastern tour, is in full swing.
The black armored man overseeing the work held a long whip in his hand, and his ferocious eyes kept scanning the scene back and forth.
The civilian workers who were working hard on the construction site were all wearing brown or dark brown clothes. The black color after dried blood stained the clothes and was covered with mud, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
If anyone slacks off even a little bit, the supervisor will whip him to pieces.
There are also mechanical beasts used in construction at the site. They are a group of technicians in special uniforms and are affiliated with the imperial master craftsman Shi Gongshu Chou.
Not far from this construction site, there is a military camp.
"Mr. Songlong, what on earth is the empire building? The patrols nearby are so strict that even people like Gong Shuqiu came to preside over it in person."
In the darkness of the jungle, someone was lurking inside, taking a peek at the military camp with a somewhat eerie color scheme.
This man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is wearing a thick cloth, and has a sword at his waist. He is clearly none other than Zhuan Sunxun.
The Zhang sect of Confucianism has some ideological ideas similar to those of Mohism. Most of its disciples are swordsmen and knights. They are also a staunch anti-Qin sect in Confucianism.
With the defeat of the Three Kingdoms Alliance and the return of the world to the empire, Zi Zhang's sect has been destroyed by the Qin army, most of his disciples have lost their lives, and the entire sect's residence has been completely burned by a fire.
The works and classics collected by the most important sect were also destroyed in the fire. The only consolation is that due to the influence of Lu Yan's invention of papermaking and printing, most of the mainstream classics of the Zizhang sect have copies in this world, and they are not completely
Cut off the inheritance.
Now this man, whom Zhuan Sunxun calls "Mr. Songlong", looks quite old. His hair, eyebrows and long beard are all grey-white, and he has a pair of sharp red and phoenix eyes, but he has a calm demeanor.
He is Xiaoyaozi.
However, Xiaoyaozi does not currently exist in this world. The head of the Taoist sect is Chuan Xuzi, who holds the famous sword Xueji and ranks sixth in Fengbeard's sword manual.
Xiaoyaozi uses the identity that Lu Yan carefully set up for him twenty years ago - Songlong, the hero of Guanzhong.
This was a figure who was active thirty or forty years ago, and was also a famous swordsman. He was generous and loyal, and helped those in need. Then he suddenly disappeared (that is, he died).
Lu Yan created the second half of Songlong's life. His disappearance was the result of some realization, and he went into seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests. When he came out of the mountains again, he was already a master of both Taoism and Swordsmanship.
Songlong's identity was that he was once Lu Yan's subordinate, and he was a Guanzhong hero, so there was no doubt that he was from Qin.
But now he is also a very respected elder and hero in the world. It is not a black mark that he took refuge with Lu Yan.
Ten years ago, Lu Yan was notorious in the Three Kingdoms Alliance. He forgot his ancestors, killed his senior brothers, designed wars, and helped the evildoers...
Ten years later, if Lu Yanzi were still alive, how could he tolerate such tyrannical rule by the empire! The world belongs to the people of the world. The empire that has clearly been unified should bring peace and recuperation to the people!
I wonder why this change occurred?
Because the people really miss Lu Yan, bringing Lu Yanzi up will not only accuse the empire of injustice, but also win over the people.
Therefore, whether they were nobles who were intent on overthrowing the empire and seeking to restore their motherland, or benevolent and righteous people who had truly learned something from the painful historical process, they all "recognized" Lu Yan.
"The overbearing mechanism technique is an important help for the empire to unify the world. Gong Shuqiu was named the imperial master craftsman because of his meritorious service. His status is extraordinary. Moreover, he is old, and many things in the mechanism technique were done by his son Gong Shuyi.
Take it over. The building here is personally presided over by You Gongshu Qiu. It is definitely a major secret of the empire. And this military camp..."
Songlong smoothed his gray beard, looked at the gloomy military camp with phoenix eyes, then turned to Zhuan Sunxun and said: "Brother Zidan, you and I can only make guesses based on the outside looking in like this. Why don't we wait for the night, and we
Let’s find out what’s going on.”
"Hmm~" Zhuan Sunxun glanced at the sentry in front of the military camp gate, narrowed his eyes, and nodded, "That's right. In this case, let's observe the patrol pattern of the Qin army again. When night falls, we will lurk into a
Exploring.”
"Can."
After a brief discussion, the two went into hiding.
Soon, night fell. Songlong and Zhuan Sunxun looked at each other and disappeared from the place.
"Brother Zidan, from now on, I will use the secret technique of sound transmission to talk to you. This technique is a secret technique of Taoism, which directly communicates with the spiritual consciousness. There is no possibility of being eavesdropped by an expert like the condensation of internal force."
"This is the secret technique of sound transmission by nature. It's really magical."
Zhuan Sunxun sneaked forward and looked at Songlong in amazement.
"The effective range of this technique is only three feet, so you and I should try to keep a good distance. Unless necessary, don't be separated by more than three feet."
"Understood."
Songlong is a master at the pinnacle of Dacheng. His sword may not be as pure and powerful as Gai Nie's, but he is a master of Taoism and Sword. Not only is he a good hand in direct combat, but his support position is also rare in the world.
As he was sneaking, he was holding a red single-edged sword and holding a seal in his hand, "All transformations are without breath."
In silence, within three feet of Songlong, the two people's footsteps, breathing, and atmosphere were all perfectly integrated into nature.
They easily passed through the military camp gate and sneaked inside.
…
The scene inside the military camp was a bit beyond the two people's expectations. It was not as solemn as they imagined, but instead looked like a summer resort for vacation.
Zhuan Sunxun patrolled around vigilantly, temporarily released his hand holding the sword, and said doubtfully: "After the cherry blossoms rain, the spring waves are full. From the outside, this military camp looks eerie, but it is so beautiful inside. What exactly is here?"
What is it used for?"
"Huh?" Songlong stopped and looked around at the pink flower balls and the hot spring pool with the smoke floating in the air. Suddenly his white eyebrows twitched, "Brother Zidan, be careful, there is a Yin Yang family's magic circle here."
"Yin Yang family, why are they here?"
Before the two of them had time to communicate more, their expressions changed at the same time.
Footsteps!
"Brother Zidan, you and I step aside. With the Wanhua Wuxi I can use, people coming may not be able to detect our presence."
"Um."
…
Phew~
The wooden door was pushed open and a man walked in.
He is dressed in a mysterious suit with gold embroidery and a three-legged golden crow. The bright red girdle looks like a burning flame, just like the moon god and star soul protector of the Yin Yang family. There is also a high ring decoration on the back of the clothes, which looks like a sun.
He is Dongjun of the Yin Yang family.
And a woman who came in behind Dongjun had blood-red high heels, long black legs and plump buttocks, and a slim waist as she walked.
She flicked a strand of bangs that was hanging down, and her usually stern eyebrows were now slightly furrowed, her charming eyes were like silk, and she wrapped them around Dongjun's waist with just one brush.
"Lord Dongjun, you are so ridiculous here. If Lord Donghuang finds out, I'm afraid..."
"Hehehe, then, will he know? Come here!"
"Uh huh~"
Dongjun grabbed one of the woman's hands and pulled her into his arms. He sniffed the woman's hand with his nose. It was slender and bright red as blood.
"Beauty, I really can't put it down with these hands of yours~ Hahaha~"
While he was sucking the woman's fragrance, he suddenly picked her up and started walking towards the hot spring with a big smile.
At this moment, Songlong, who was hiding nearby, saw Dongjun's face clearly and was instantly shocked, "Lu Zi?! This is impossible!"
