Situ Haitang spoke in great detail, and Xu Que listened very carefully.
He was very interested in the empress's past.
Back then, Queen Bing Ning was very ambitious and wanted to usurp the throne to seize Shui Yuan Kingdom, but she was inadvertently noticed by the late Emperor of Shui Yuan Kingdom.
The matter was exposed, so Queen Bing Ning was defeated, and she joined forces with her comrades to severely damage the former Emperor of Shui Yuan Kingdom!
At that time, the empress had also returned from studying in Tianxiang Valley. When she saw the battle to usurp the throne in the palace, she took action against Queen Bing Ning!
It is said that everyone involved in the incident was dead at the time, and no one knows how the battle was fought.
The final result was that the empress was injured, and Queen Bing Ning was also severely injured, and ran away in anger without a trace!
But at that time, the former emperor of Shuiyuan Kingdom had also had his body's vitality cut off. Before his death, he summoned various ministers, inherited the throne to the empress, and then passed away.
Unexpectedly, only fifty years later, Queen Bing Ning trained a group of ice-armored troops from overseas, and seemed to have received the support of some major overseas forces, returning with a strong force.
It happened that the empress was not in Shuiyuan Kingdom at that time and went to retreat in Huo Yuan Kingdom, so Queen Bingning took advantage of the situation and captured several cities in succession, bought people's hearts, and united many generals to rebel.
Therefore, in just a few dozen days, almost half of the Shuiyuan Kingdom was invaded. When the empress returned, it would be difficult to turn the tide and the only option was to lead the army in battle.
…
When Xu Que heard this, he was filled with doubts.
Whether it is the empress or the Bing Ning Queen, this matter is not simple.
At least as far as he knew, when the empress returned from Tianxiang Valley, her level of strength seemed to be only at the Nascent Soul stage, but she was able to single-handedly help the late Emperor defeat the Bing Ning Queen who had returned to the Infant Transformation stage!
This is definitely not easy!
And Queen Bing Ning was also surprised that she wanted to usurp the throne, and that was all. After the failure, she could escape overseas, train the Ice Armor Army and come back for revenge. In just a few dozen days, she almost captured the entire Shuiyuan Kingdom.
This kind of efficiency is really too fast.
Obviously there were other forces involved in this, providing Queen Bing Ning with huge resources, otherwise she would not have had such strength, let alone the ability to bribe other generals.
"Another royal family with deep water!"
Xu Que shook his head and said.
Situ Haitang was startled: "Young Master Zhuge, why is the water so deep? Does it mean the water aura of our Shui Yuan Kingdom?"
"It's nothing. By the way, you haven't said yet how the Water Queen was imprisoned on Dushan Mountain? With her strength, it shouldn't be possible for such a thing to happen, right?" Xu Que asked again.
He knew the strength of the empress very well. She was enough to compete with the old murderer at the eighth level of the infant transformation stage. There was no reason for her to be imprisoned so easily. There must have been some accident.
As expected, Situ Haitang's face became solemn again, and he said in a deep voice: "After His Royal Highness the Water Emperor returned to China, he came to Snow City and went to the Snow Mountain Holy Land. It seemed that there was a secret that could turn defeat into victory. But I didn't expect Queen Bing Ning to receive the news.
Brought 50,000 ice armor troops to the Holy Land of Snow Mountain!"
"Fifty thousand ice-armor troops plus an ice-condensed queen? Does this imprison the water emperor?" Xu Que was stunned.
This is absolutely impossible, even if the Water Emperor cannot be defeated, he can definitely escape!
"I have no idea!"
Situ Haitang shook his head, "After Queen Bingning went up, she was the only one who came down the mountain alone, claiming that the Water Emperor had been forever banned in the Holy Land and asked us to surrender. I didn't believe it at first, but before His Highness the Water Emperor went up the mountain, he
She asked me to wait for her for ten days, and now twenty days have passed, but there has been no news!"
Xu Que frowned slightly: "Have you ever gone up the mountain to confirm?"
"I've been there, but I can't get to the Holy Land! There is a canyon abyss on the snow-capped mountains, which is so vast that it separates the Holy Land. There is also an ancient restriction in the Holy Land that can imprison everyone's true energy!"
Situ Haitang shook his head and said: "At first there was an iron cable bridge that could lead to the Holy Land, but when I went up the mountain to take a look, the iron cable bridge had been cut off. With the true energy imprisoned, it was impossible to cross! And there were tens of thousands of ice armor troops stationed there.
A city wall has been built outside the Holy Land, and the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is impossible to build another chain bridge!"
"Then you can fly there!" Xu Que said without thinking.
Situ Haitang was stunned for a moment and said with a bitter look on his face: "Young Master Zhuge, I just said that the restrictions in the Holy Land are very strong. Once you go up the mountain, your true energy will be completely restricted and it will be impossible to fly!"
"Who said you can't fly without true energy? Wait a minute, I'll take a look at my collection first!" Xu Que immediately called up the system and entered the mall interface.
Without true energy, there are many ways to fly!
Not to mention Iron Man and Transformers, just get a few helicopters and you can do it!
But as Situ Haitang said, the mountain opposite is heavily guarded, and a city wall has been specially built for defense. If we use a helicopter, the movement will definitely be too loud, and it will be noticed after just one flight!
Moreover, it would be very difficult for planes to transport thousands of soldiers and horses to Snow City.
It can only be exchanged for dozens of planes, which costs a lot of money. Moreover, with Xu Que's current pretentiousness, it is impossible to rent dozens of planes at once.
"Young Master Zhuge, do you really have any solution?" At this time, Situ Haitang saw Xu Que sitting in a chair in a daze and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Xu Que was suddenly startled, and an idea flashed in his mind, Zhuge Liang?
Haha, I almost forgot Zhuge Liang’s artifact!
"Miss Situ, of course I have a solution! Have you heard of the Kongming Lantern? Have you heard of paragliding?" Xu Quemei said with a wide smile.
When Zhuge Liang is mentioned, the Kongming Lantern naturally comes to mind, and Xu Que also draws inferences and thinks of paragliding.
If you want to make these things, the cost is very low, they are also suitable for multiple people to use, and they can also have unexpected effects!
However, Situ Haitang was confused after hearing this and had no idea what Xu Que was talking about.
Xu Que directly searched for the design drawings of the Kongming Lantern and the paraglider from the system mall, slapped it on the table, and said confidently: "Come on, come on, I have a drawing here, you arrange some craftsmen with better skills.
Make these things, the more the better, preferably thousands, if you don’t have enough materials, come and get them from me!”
Situ Haitang picked up the drawing and looked at it, and was immediately shocked: "Young Master Zhuge, are you saying these things... can fly?"
"That's right, when the time comes, thousands of our Snow City troops will descend from the sky and scare those ice-armored troops to death!" The more Xu Que thought about it, the more he looked forward to it.
But Situ Haitang was even more confused, staring blankly at the things on the drawing, a strange-shaped lantern, and a large triangular kite.
Can you fly with these things? How is this possible?
She still couldn't believe it, after all, it was such nonsense.
"Don't worry, believe me, these are the inventions of our Zhatian Gang and have thousands of years of history and culture!"
Xu Que patted his chest and promised firmly.
But Situ Haitang still had doubts and concerns on his face.
Xu Que was so persuasive that he almost wanted to put his hand on Situ Haitang's chest to reassure him. Fortunately, Situ Haitang nodded in time, causing Xu Que to miss an evil opportunity!
"But... Young Master Zhuge, even if we successfully cross the canyon, the opponent has tens of thousands of troops and we only have a few thousand. How can we win?" At this time, Situ Haitang asked again.
After all, after entering the Holy Land, the true energy was imprisoned, and Xu Que's powerful spells were unable to be used. Everyone could only rely on martial arts to fight, and it was difficult to defeat more than one!
Moreover, this consumes a lot of physical strength. No matter how you look at it from here in Xuecheng, it looks like you are going to die.
"What is the most important thing in a war? In addition to fierce generals, the first is to have strong soldiers and horses, so that one can fight ten, and the second is to have a very smart strategist who can make every plan!"
Xu Que was very indifferent and said with a confident smile: "Now that we have a military advisor, I can also solve the problem of strong soldiers and horses, so we will definitely win!"
"Military advisor? Are you talking about my second uncle?"
"No, give me Zhuge Liang a face. Let me take the position of military advisor!"
