(Update challenge starts tomorrow. 15,000 words a day. I’m adjusting my mentality these days and sorting out the outline for the rest.)
In the Kingdom of Qixia, Anling County, and the Mu family, Zhang Hao was extremely troubled, but he was extremely helpless. The surrounding guards and others hid far away.
Mu Yingying walked past Zhang Hao again and again, and the tea in front of Zhang Hao was changed again and again.
"Yingying..."
"Master Zhang, please use tea. I picked this myself. Every morning I go to the top of the mountain to collect the spiritual tea that is the first to be bathed in the sun. I select the most perfect tip and can collect 5 to 8 grams every day. Over the past few months, I have
A total of 513 grams were collected.
Try it...does it taste good?"
Zhang Hao looked at the girl in front of him, looking at her pale face, and wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a word.
Mu Yingying looked into Zhang Hao's eyes, then slowly lowered her head and turned around; her figure seemed to be floating, as if she had lost her soul.
Zhang Hao's heart felt sour, and he suddenly stepped forward and hugged the weak body.
"Let go, let me go!" Mu Yingying struggled and screamed, but with the strength of her Qi refining period, she struggled more than Zhang Hao. A few months later, Mu Yingying's cultivation level has not improved at all.
Progress, even some slippage.
Zhang Hao hugged the girl hard and said softly: "Give me some time, okay?"
Zhang Hao once thought that the two were separated and Mu Yingying would soon forget him. In Zhang Hao's view, she was a cheerful girl. But now he found that he was wrong. Seeing Mu Yingying again, Zhang Hao also
Shocked.
She was thin and in a daze. Only then did Zhang Hao understand the way Mu Pengcheng and Mu Mingchen looked at him.
Mu Yingying lay in Zhang Hao's arms, crying loudly and hoarse. Finally, she sobbed lightly and fell asleep in Zhang Hao's arms.
Mu Pengcheng's figure slowly appeared. He looked at Zhang Hao with a complex expression and said slowly: "Yingying has been picking tea since she came back from Dutian Liehuo Array last time. After the news that you were getting engaged a few days ago,
She just...is like this.
Zhang Hao, I...you...hey, if you can, give Yingying a title. Even if she is a concubine...we will...accept her. Just don't make her sad."
After Mu Pengcheng finished speaking, he quickly turned around and strode away. Zhang Hao hugged Mu Yingying and sent a message to the shrinking maid at the door: "Lead the way."
The maid stared at Zhang Hao for a while with a look that looked bad, and then led the way to Mu Yingying's boudoir. But when she got to the door, she blocked the door to prevent Zhang Hao from entering, as if to guard against thieves. Finally, she clumsily
Will help Mu Yingying into the house.
Zhang Hao thought for a moment, then suddenly took off the jade pendant from his waist, "Put this on her bedside."
This jade pendant was given to Zhang Hao by Wu Fanghai (Chapter 128). It is one inch in size, clear green, and has the words "A gentleman is like jade" written on it. This jade pendant is actually a small 'stand-in puppet', which can be used as a substitute at critical moments.
The body withstands fatal attacks.
The door was quickly closed, and the maid looked at Zhang Hao with a very wary look. Zhang Hao was not in the mood to care about this. He walked back to the hall with heavy steps. This was the 'command headquarters' of the Anling County battlefield.
But before Zhang Hao could step into the hall, someone rushed towards him. It was Mu Mingchen. "Zhang Hao, something bad has happened!"
"What happened? Lost the battle?" Zhang Hao was shocked. Mu Mingchen was usually very calm, but this was the first time he saw Mu Mingchen so flustered.
Mu Mingchen's tone was urgent: "The Transformation God has taken action!"
With that said, he briefly explained the information coming from the front line. Zhang Hao's face turned gloomy instantly. This was worse than the result of defeat.
Mu Mingchen gritted his teeth and said: "From now on, we will only be beaten! As long as their transformation stage stops there, we will be half defeated. Even if we occasionally win, we will not be able to pursue them!"
Zhang Hao didn't speak. He stood at the door of the hall and watched everyone coming. Everyone walked into the hall silently, but no one spoke. There were many people coming, and many people from Dayang Group were already here.
The atmosphere is so dull that it makes people go crazy.
After a while, Mu Bingbing, the head of the Mu family, snorted angrily, slapped the table and shouted: "It's too much to bully others!"
Zhang Hao has a black streak on his head, what are you looking at me for?
Next to him, Bai Yutang said leisurely: "The God Transformation Stage is not immortal. Jiuyang Sect has previously studied how to kill the God Transformation Stage.
We have improved the Trapped Immortal Formation, Dutian Fierce Formation, Demon Refining Formation, Zhoutian Formation, some sealing formations, etc. We have gathered the characteristics and advantages of many formations and tried to build a 'Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation'.
The complete Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation can prohibit all means of cultivation, forming a space that completely isolates spiritual energy.
Without spiritual energy, no matter how powerful the God Transformation stage is, it will not be so scary. At least he can no longer use the spiritual energy from the outside world to form powerful offensive magical powers."
Bai Ye was overjoyed: "Where is this formation?"
"Um...this formation was sealed decades ago. Because there were errors during the research process."
Everyone: "..."
Are you fucking kidding me?
But Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly brightened: "I wonder what mistakes were made in the research?"
"I don't know!" Bai Yutang shook his head slightly, "I have participated in research, and I only know that there is no problem in the operation of the formation at the beginning. But halfway through the operation, when the spiritual energy in the formation completely disappears, the formation will suddenly collapse.
.
We changed the formation repeatedly, but could not solve this problem. In the end, we had to seal the formation."
Zhang Hao's eyes flickered: "This formation...maybe there is nothing wrong with it!"
"Ah?" Bai Yutang looked at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao took a deep breath, "I am just making a common guess for the time being. More needs to be verified on the spot. I need to return to Ninghe County to inquire about relevant information.
However, it is not yet certain how the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Sealing Formation will be; and even if the formation is indeed feasible, it is not an easy matter to ambush the God Transformation Stage.
Now let's talk about the current war first. The most urgent task is to plan the lower front.
I have a suggestion, that is... to have a war of attrition. Use our artillery shells to consume the enemy's soldiers to buy time.
Also, Bai Ye, do you have any news about the gods in Yeyue Tower, the kind of people who are free and willing to accept employment?"
Bai Ye smiled: "This really exists. For example, there is it in the Kingdom of Shaoze. Many forces in the Kingdom of Shaoze need a large amount of black iron, spiritual stones, etc., and they may be able to accept our employment. But what is the price... Mr. Zhang?
But be mentally prepared!”
Zhang Hao smiled bitterly: "At this time, we don't have to worry about the price issue. It would be good to hire someone."
Next to him, Mu Pengcheng said in a low voice: "We still need to hire others. Didn't we say that we want to fight a war between the industrial and commercial classes?"
Zhang Hao shook his head slightly: "Wealth itself is also one of the most important representatives of the industrial and commercial class! It is also one of our strengths. As the saying goes, money can make the world go round!"
Bai Ye most agrees: "Yes, wealth is also part of our ability! At least we still have enough wealth to hire masters in the transformation stage, while others can't even pay for the hire!"
Moreover, the country of Shaoze is now divided and lacks war supplies, but it has also promoted the popularity of mercenaries. As long as you are willing to spend money, you might be able to win over a Nascent Soul stage army!"
With Bai Ye's statement, everyone agreed. Indeed, wealth is also a part of ability. Then Bai Ye set off in person, preparing to go to the Kingdom of Shaoze in the east.
Bai Ye will start from the north, go around the Kingdom of Zhongshan and the Kingdom of Taihua, and then enter the Kingdom of Shaoze.
When Bai Ye left, he took away many dark iron samples and even steel samples. There were also art albums.
After Bai Ye left, the meeting ended, but everyone started to get busy. Zhang Hao immediately set off to return to Ninghe County. At the same time, he also got in touch through the communication method left by Liu Dingshan. If he wanted to study this heaven-sealing and earth-sealing formation, he also
Liu Dingshan must help.
Before leaving, Zhang Hao visited Mu Yingying, but she was still sleeping.
…………
The front line includes not only Dugu Junjie's side, but also Wu Fanghai's side and Xingchang County's side. The defense of the entire Qixia Kingdom has been completely changed.
Faced with the "sudden enlightenment" of the Kingdom of Jinyang's war method, everyone had to make changes. Zhang Hao's proposal, which was to use artillery to consume the enemy's troops and gain time, was temporarily approved. Other than that,
There is no good way.
At a distance of more than three kilometers, Qixia Kingdom's artillery roared, and Jinyang Kingdom could only defend itself for a while.
A weird war of attrition began. On the one hand, explosives were consumed, on the other hand, spiritual stones, and even soldiers were consumed. Both sides entered a cruel stage of attrition.
For the country of Qixia, now it is not about winning, but about buying time.
