Emperor Chu turned on the system rewards and found that apart from the usefulness of obtaining the Lei Yan Heritage Card, the other rewards were useless, but Emperor Chu was not disappointed at all.
After all, not long ago, the system had just rewarded Silver-faced Wei Tuo Qin Yong, the Heavenly Punishment Divine Army, the Black Crow Death Soldier, and a godhead. After such a generous reward, Emperor Chu knew that the system would not be able to have another huge reward in a short time.
award.
After exiting the system, Emperor Chu walked outside the imperial study, opened the palace door, and looked at the cold mountains in the distance. The white snow was still covered, and the biting cold wind made people wake up instantly.
The threat of Lei Yan leading an army of 50,000 has disappeared, and there is no more fighting in Chu State. Now Emperor Chu is only worried about the Qin army confronting Yue Fei's army in Xuantian Empire. They are the biggest hidden danger.
With the heavy snowfall, the speed of news transmission was slow. There was no news from Yue Fei and Ran Min. Emperor Chu could not help but feel more worried.
At this moment.
Xiao Guizi appeared on the side of the corridor, moved to the wind, and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Ming has sent news that the Northern Song Dynasty Empire refused to surrender to Wu Chu. This is the news from the Duke of Ming."
Hear the sound.
Emperor Chu turned sideways and took the memorial from Xiao Guizi's hand, spread it out and browsed it, raised his hand and held the memorial tightly in his hand, with an angry look on his face.
"I don't know how to praise!"
If it hadn't been for the heavy snow to seal the mountains, how could Emperor Chu have allowed the Northern Song Dynasty to show off its power like this? Since he was enjoying the protection of Chu State, he didn't want to surrender, so he had to pay something.
"Xiao Guizi, send an order to Duke Ming to stay in Shunming City and pay attention to the situation of the Northern Song Dynasty Empire at all times. When I am free, my Chu cavalry will definitely appear on the land of the Northern Song Dynasty Empire."
Xiao Guizi took the order and went down to deliver the order. Emperor Chu narrowed his eyes slightly and secretly thought in his heart that the four kingdoms of Wuling, Tubo, Northern Song Dynasty and Ancient Rome must be resolved in the shortest possible time. If the four kingdoms are not destroyed, they will eventually become a serious problem.
Think about this.
The Emperor of Chu turned around and returned to his imperial study, where he began to study the methods of conquering the Four Kingdoms, as well as the marching route and the configuration of generals.
Unknowingly, three days passed in a flash. Today was the day when Li Jing, King Behemoth and the others returned to the Beast Emperor City. At the same time, a snowstorm came again. The world was dark and dark, with goose feathers and heavy snow flying. Outside the Beast Emperor City, a huge black army appeared.
.
Three hours later.
Li Jing, King Behemoth, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and Sun Jian arrived at the palace and came to report the battle situation to Emperor Chu. The five people appeared outside the imperial study, their armors covered with a thick layer of snow. It was obvious that they had entered the Beast King.
After entering the city, he entered the palace without any hesitation to report.
When Emperor Chu saw the five people appearing, he ordered his servants to clear away the snow on their bodies. At the same time, he asked the servants to send orders to the royal kitchen to prepare a hot pot banquet in the side hall. Firstly, it was for the five people to get rid of the cold. It was considered that the Emperor of Chu was taking the wind and washing away the dust for them.
Come, the Emperor of Chu would like to listen to the opinions of the generals and discuss with them how to attack the four kingdoms of Wuling, Northern Song Dynasty, Tubo, and Ancient Rome.
The five people followed Emperor Chu to the side hall next to the imperial study. The charcoal fire in the stove was boiling, and the hot air drove away the coldness on the five people. Emperor Chu raised his hand to signal them to sit down.
Time flew by, and when the five people left the side hall, it was already nightfall. The wind was cold, ghosts were howling, snowflakes were lingering in the sky, and the ground was covered with snow outside the palace corridor.
The five people left the palace under the leadership of the chamberlain. At this time, Emperor Chu got up and headed to Fengming Palace. The plan for the battle with the generals tonight has been initially formed. In addition, he defeated Lei Yan with 50,000 soldiers and horses. He was in a happy mood and drank more.
After a few drinks, but now a little tipsy, Xiao Guizi supported Emperor Chu and walked towards Fengming Hall.
.............
Heavy snow has been falling for more than a month, and the long-lost sunshine has only been seen in recent days. After early morning, two chariots appeared outside the palace wall.
The visitors were none other than Shen Kuo and Zhang Heng. They were in a hurry and obviously had something important to report to Emperor Chu.
at this time.
Inside the royal study.
Shen Wansan was reporting to Emperor Chu about the Lingshi Mine in Ziyun City. Emperor Chu received Xiao Guizi's report and ordered Shen Kuo and Zhang Heng to enter the palace first.
A little while.
When Mr. Shen came out of the imperial study, Zhang Heng and Shen Kuo stepped forward and saluted with their fists: "You two beloved ministers, you don't need to be polite. I don't know why you came here?"
Emperor Chu appeared to ask, and Shen Kuo and Zhang Heng came at the same time. His first reaction was whether something had happened in the Academy of Sciences.
"Your Majesty, I have discovered today that there will be huge geographical changes in the near future. For the safety of our Chu people, Your Majesty should order early preparations so that our Chu people can survive this natural disaster safely."
"Big geographic change?"
Emperor Chu frowned, feeling horrified in his heart, and murmured to himself: "Could it be that the huge geographical changes Zhang Heng mentioned were earthquakes, or could there be treasures emerging from the ground?"
"Zhang Aiqing, why did you say this? Is there any precise basis for it?"
"Your Majesty, I have been studying topography and astronomy. In recent days, the seismometer has frequently experienced weak vibrations."
"So, Wei Chen can be sure that huge geographical changes will definitely occur in the near future."
Zhang Heng's expression was firm, a sonorous sound sounded, and an iron lump the size of a fist appeared in his sleeves. He held it tightly with both hands and handed it to Emperor Chu.
"Seismometer?"
Emperor Chu's figure suddenly rose up and moved forward. Zhang Heng was seen holding something like an iron tripod tightly in his palms. It was obvious that it was a seismometer.
The seismometer is made of fine copper, with a diameter of eight feet, a protruding top cover, shaped like a wine bottle, and decorated with images of turtles, birds and beasts in seal script. There is a large pillar in the middle, with eight channels running beside it, to install the engine.
It has eight directions, and in each direction there is a dragon with copper beads in its mouth, and under each dragon there is a toad corresponding to it. If an earthquake occurs in any direction, the copper beads contained in the dragon's mouth in that direction will fall down. From the toad's mouth, the direction of the earthquake can be measured. After testing, it is consistent with the set system.
"Your Majesty, the seismometer can clearly sense the weak changes in the ground. Today, the frequency of vibrations in the southeast is getting stronger and stronger."
Hear the sound.
Emperor Chu wondered whether there was really going to be an earthquake. As Zhang Heng said, no matter how strong the earthquake was, measures to avoid earthquakes must be taken in advance.
Earthquakes are geographical changes without warning. Since Zhang Heng has proposed it, Emperor Chu must have taken it very seriously. He would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist. Once an earthquake breaks out, Emperor Chu will be fully aware of the harm it will cause.
"Zhang Aiqing is sure that the huge geographical change is in the southeast. Could it be that there is treasure hidden underground?"
"Your Majesty, I am sure that it is absolutely accurate, but whether it is the birth of a treasure or a natural disaster, I am not sure yet."
Zhang Heng only knew about geographical changes, but did not know the dangers. Earthquakes often cause serious casualties, can cause fires, floods, toxic gas leaks, spread of bacteria and radioactive materials, and can also cause secondary disasters such as tsunamis, landslides, collapses, and ground fissures.
Emperor Chu can now confirm that there must be underground shaking in the southeast direction, but whether it is a real earthquake or whether there is treasure hidden under the ground, after all, there has never been an earthquake in the War Continent.
Generally, when earth-shaking or devastating changes occur, people will think that a treasure has been born, and will never associate this situation with earthquakes. (To be continued)
