After Zhang Hao heard Hu Yinglan's words, he was stunned for a while. Then he slowly came to his senses, "Blow up the Jiuyang Sect? That... Sister Hu, although I have never seen the mountain gate of the Jiuyang Sect with my own eyes, we
Let’s not talk about how big the Jiuyang Sect’s mountain gate is.
Let’s just talk about the great elder of Jiuyang Sect. It is said that he is a master in the divine transformation stage.
If we blow up the Jiuyang Sect, I'm afraid the Zhang family won't survive the next day!"
Hu Yinglan looked at Zhang Hao without saying anything, but her eyes were very firm: I'm not kidding you.
But Zhang Hao also looked at Hu Yinglan and said nothing. Blow up the Jiuyang Sect? This is unrealistic. This is not something that can be decided by patting the head. The Jiuyang Sect is not Xinglintang, this is an existence older than the Kingdom of Qixia.
, is not a soft persimmon.
After looking at each other for a long time, Hu Yinglan snorted coldly again: "Coward."
Zhang Hao shook his head: "This is not a coward, but out of a rational consideration. Inside and even around the Jiuyang Sect, there must be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!
I believe that Jiuyang Sect should be isolated and besieged now.
Although Jiuyang Sect is powerful, it still needs to communicate with the outside world. If we encircle and fail to attack, Jiuyang Sect will gradually decline. If Jiuyang Sect takes the initiative to attack, we will be on the periphery and Jiuyang Sect will not have an advantage.
If so, eliminate them.
Once the Jiuyang Sect's active forces are almost wiped out, it's time for our general attack.
In fact, the most important thing is that we need time now. The Zhang family needs time to develop, and the Kingdom of Qixia also needs time to breathe."
Hu Yinglan looked at Zhang Hao again for a long time, and snorted coldly, "That sounds reasonable. How about you and I go see the regent?"
Zhang Hao thought for a while and nodded. "That's fine. I happen to have a lot of things that I need to discuss with the princess... ahem, the regent. It just so happens that I have three talents here to introduce to the regent."
"Who?" Hu Yinglan was very vigilant. Now that the princess has just taken over as regent, the country of Qixia is in chaos and cannot withstand any more troubles.
Zhang Hao smiled: "Don't worry, he must be a useful person. Are you still worried that I will be detrimental to the regent?"
Hu Yinglan looked at Zhang Hao for a while, suddenly thought of something, and smiled mysteriously. "Okay, you can bring people there. But I have already said that the people you bring are not allowed to get close to the regent. And if something goes wrong,
You’re the only one asking!”
"Of course."
Zhang Hao agreed wholeheartedly and took Xu Jie, Yan Qing, Zheng You and Hu Yinglan to the imperial capital.
Before leaving, Zhang Hao looked back at his door, and suddenly felt a little emotional - in fact, I just want to develop quietly, practice some cultivation, and achieve immortality, but I can't always calm down.
Hu Yinglan took out the talisman of the wind escape technique, and a breeze swept Zhang Hao and others away quickly; every time they advanced a certain distance, Hu Yinglan replenished the talisman of the wind escape technique, and the flying speed was as fast as lightning.
In just ten minutes, Zhang Hao saw Ninghe County passing by. Then he walked around and watched the flowers, but also appreciated the joy of harvest in the vast farmland. Unknowingly, it was the autumn harvest season.
After more than two hours of lightning speed, a magnificent city appeared in front of Zhang Hao. Three large characters "Guangling City" hung high at the city gate, and three small characters below: West City Gate.
Compared with what Zhang Hao saw in Yunhaiguan, the capital of the Kingdom of Jinyang, and Jingshan City in the Kingdom of Jinyang, it was still slightly lacking. But the thick green and black color gave Guangling City a heavy and domineering appearance.
This is a city wall made of black rocks. It is almost fifteen feet high, which is about fifty meters. Such a majestic city wall is like a green dragon, stretching across the field of vision, and is much higher than several surrounding hills.
few.
The city wall is covered with traces of time and covered with mottled moss, roses, ivy and other vines. However, these plants can only climb to a height of twenty or thirty meters.
There were faint waves of formation emerging on the surface of the city wall, and a hazy light almost enveloped the entire city.
"Ahead is the imperial capital, Guangling City." Hu Yinglan pointed to the front, quite proudly - country bumpkins, you must be shocked.
Zheng You didn't want to see it, but he said a little disappointed: "This city is not big... ugh..."
Xu Jie covered Zheng You's mouth and said with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, my friend just talks nonsense, don't mind."
Several black lines appeared on Hu Yinglan's head. She stopped introducing Guangling City and led everyone forward. After entering the imperial capital, they walked forward for about six or seven miles along the road paved with bluestone slabs. Everyone again
Stopped under a magnificent city wall.
Compared with the outer city, the inner city is much shorter, but the formations on the city wall are denser, and the ripples of the formations faintly shimmer with metallic luster. The soldiers already patrolling the gates on the city wall are at least in the foundation construction period.
"The people here are all imperial guards." Hu Yinglan explained coldly and took the lead to walk forward. Immediately, someone came out to check Hu Yinglan's identity and so on.
After a lot of effort, Zhang Hao finally entered the inner city. The last time he went to the Kingdom of Jinyang, Zhang Hao failed to enter the inner city, which is the palace. This time, Zhang Hao finally saw what the palace of this world looks like.
Behind the city wall, there are row upon row of rough and magnificent buildings. There is no luxury as imagined, but more simplicity; but there is an indescribable domineeringness in the simplicity.
All the buildings are sharp-edged and unyielding, with almost no soft elements visible. The foundations are made of blue-black rocks, and although the doorposts and beams are vermilion, most of the carvings on them look like fierce tigers and wild dragons.
On the raised eaves, there is a roaring chiki. The legendary nine sons of the dragon are shaped like a wolf howling at the moon.
The roof of the palace building is not made of golden glazed tiles, but a thick, almost blue-black deep sea color.
There were guards in black armor all around, their weapons were either long swords or spears, and the blades of the weapons shone with cold light.
Being in such a palace, Zhang Hao suddenly felt an indescribable fighting spirit in his heart. Zhang Hao vaguely understood why the princess had such a strong character.
But Zhang Hao was also curious, how could a person like the prince be created in such an environment?
Zhang Hao doesn't know about the coup in the palace yet, but at least he knows: the former prince was a piece of mud that couldn't stand up to the wall! He died... it's good!
Zhang Hao observed as he walked, but he became more and more amazed.
It is rough and majestic, thick and domineering, but it is simple but contains a fighting spirit. This is not like a royal palace, but more like a general's mansion. Thinking of the environment of Qixia Country, Zhang Hao had to nod in admiration.
After a series of chaos, and under the sudden attack of the Kingdom of Jinyang, the Kingdom of Qixia still persisted and maintained sufficient combat effectiveness. This is no accident.
A country that can abandon luxury and enjoyment, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be ready for anything at all times will be difficult to defeat easily.
Zhang Hao felt that today was the right day. Seeing such a palace, Zhang Hao suddenly felt an indescribable confidence in his heart: The country of Qixia will definitely defeat the country of Jinyang!
Hu Yinglan did not lead Zhang Hao to the meeting hall. At this time, the super meeting had already ended and it was almost noon. A female guard came over and explained to Hu Yinglan, and Hu Yinglan took Zhang Hao and others to the palace.
Go to the east side.
After walking for a while, we came to a beautiful imperial garden. On the rockery in the center of the imperial garden, there was a simple and fresh pavilion, and a domineering figure was sitting in the pavilion.
Zhang Hao's eyes widened in shock. The figure in the pavilion was clearly Princess Liu Xinyu. But at this time, she was wearing a black uniform and was discussing something with the prime minister and other major officials standing on both sides.
The black robe is very thick, and the faint golden thread outlines a looming phoenix. The splendor reveals a domineering power that cannot be described in words. Liu Xinyu's temperament has undergone an indescribable sublimation under this phoenix pattern robe.
.
Seeing Liu Xinyu like this, Zhang Hao suddenly had a strange thought in his mind: This dress fits very well! It seems that Liu Xinyu was born to wear such clothes.
Hu Yinglan asked Zhang Hao and others to wait at the entrance of the Royal Garden, and she walked over quickly to report. Liu Xinyu raised her head, looked at Zhang Hao and others, nodded, and Hu Yinglan walked back quickly and invited Zhang Hao and the others to come over.
Walking through the path covered with petals, passing by the rough stone bridge without any carvings, startling a few birds, stepping firmly onto the rockery and entering the pavilion, Zhang Hao once again saw Liu Xinyu up close.
Zhang Hao took Xu Jie and three others to meet the regent.
Liu Xinyu slowly raised her head and swept away. At this time, Liu Xinyu's face had an indescribable indifference. Finally, she stared at Zhang Hao for a while, with a faint smile on her face, and slowly said: "This time I am happy."
A great victory in Changjun. I am very grateful to the Zhang family for their efforts. I am also very grateful to the Zhang family for their support to the country in the past few months.
I heard that artillery played an important role in the victory of Xingchang County. I wonder if you can explain the artillery?"
Several officials around him also looked at Zhang Hao curiously.
Zhang Hao was already prepared. He immediately took out two kinds of gunpowder from the storage ring and took out a small iron pipe to demonstrate on the spot. As for the cannonballs... just use firecrackers.
Finally, Liu Xinyu personally took two firecrackers and held them in the palm of her hand to test. One was made of ordinary black powder, and the other was made of high-grade explosives after spiritualization.
Ordinary firecrackers exploded in Liu Xinyu's hands. Liu Xinyu shook her head slightly and opened her palms.
This is the first time Zhang Hao has seen Liu Xinyu's palms. They are not as tender as ordinary girls. There are faint, dark yellow calluses on her palms. Although they are very light.
As for the traces of the gunpowder explosion, only a faint gray-white trace was left.
Then Liu Xinyu lit firecrackers made of high-grade explosives, but with a loud bang, two balls of flame spurted out from Liu Xinyu's fist. When she opened her palm, a wound appeared on her palm. She didn't use her true energy to protect her palm.
Zhang Hao was frightened when he saw her - such a woman would put countless men to shame!
Liu Xinyu took the gauze towel and wiped her palms, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes. This is only two grams of explosives, made of paper shells. A few kilograms of explosives, plus a steel shell, are enough to bring Jindan Qi."
Come with lethal force.
Zhang Hao, how many artillery pieces and artillery shells can the Zhang family mobilize in ten days? Counting those from Xingchang County."
Zhang Hao was confused, why did he ask this? But after thinking about it, he gave the answer: "It is expected that there will be 25 to 30 artillery pieces, and the number of artillery shells will reach about 2,000."
Liu Xinyu asked again: "What if we don't make cannonballs, but firecrackers like this, just very big ones, weighing 100 kilograms, without considering any precise production, how many can we make in ten days?"
"This?" Zhang Hao looked blank. Isn't this a bomb? But after thinking about it, he still said: "This one has almost no technical content. In ten days, we should be able to make more than a thousand."
Liu Xinyu nodded. She took out some gunpowder and observed it for a while, then said, "This gunpowder should be easy to imitate, right?"
Zhang Hao's face became serious: "If my prediction is correct, the Kingdom of Jinyang has probably imitated gunpowder. They may not be able to make artillery, but if they make bombs like firecrackers, there will still be no problem."
Prime Minister Ouyang Si finally spoke: "If this is true, the Kingdom of Danyang is in danger. The Kingdom of Jinyang will definitely use explosives to deal with the Kingdom of Danyang, and with the current situation of the Kingdom of Danyang, there is no way to stop the explosives.
I'm afraid that the country of Danyang will be destroyed soon.
And once the Kingdom of Danyang is destroyed, the next target of the Kingdom of Jinyang will definitely be us!"
Liu Xinyu's complexion also changed. She pondered for a while and said slowly: "This time of peace talks and prisoner exchange... we have to make some changes."
