HCB Chapter 1142 Luckily I evolved early
Chapter 1142 Luckily I evolved early
During the first half of the night, the monsters all went out to hunt for food.
They didn't return until late at night. Liang Chongyue made a point of observing them, and the monsters' reactions were indeed a bit strange when they first came back.
They even searched the nest thoroughly.
In the end, they simply covered the freshly produced feces with twigs and never looked for it again.
When Liang Chongyue saw this scene, it was because both sides were sharing the screen at the same time.
The system also saw it and couldn't help but sigh.
"Luckily I evolved early, otherwise I would be sleeping on poop and being seen by others."
Liang Chongyue ignored the system's old, tired tropes.
They were only busy with their own affairs.
They worked until dawn, but Liang Chongyue and the system had only buried less than a third of the soil each.
If it weren't for the need to blast mountains to clear a road, this amount of explosives would have been enough to take out 90% of the monsters.
"Being an emperor is really difficult. If I had known, I should have chosen a fantasy world for the host. Blowing up mountains would be just a matter of a snap of the fingers."
The system got tired of working and started to complain about the world.
Liang Chongyue listened silently, neither interrupting nor stopping.
Several more hours passed.
When Yunling whispered her probing questions from outside, Liang Chongyue casually replied before continuing to plant the explosives.
He didn't leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation all day.
When I get hungry, I eat some convenient food from the store to satisfy my hunger.
To avoid inconvenience, I didn't even drink a drop of water.
Working with the system for two days and two nights, they finally managed to plant all the explosives.
The system collapsed in the cave, unwilling to even lift a finger.
Liang Chongyue was also tired.
Fortunately, this screen won't harm her eyes; she could go blind from looking at it.
In order to blast the mountain, most of these explosives were buried at the top of the nest.
Bats are commonly seen at the top of these nests.
To ensure that the explosives would not be affected by the bats, Liang Chongyue would have to work with the system to dig through mountains and stuff the explosives in if necessary.
The whole process was exhausting and arduous.
"Host, I want to eat!!!"
The system's tone was firm, but its voice was weak.
During the two days that Liang Chongyue confined herself to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she could hear the voices of palace servants from her mother's side coming to inquire from time to time.
Liang Chongyue had Yunling help her deal with everything.
Now that she was finally out of seclusion, Liang Chongyue got out of bed for the first time in two days to tidy herself up.
The first thing he did was to personally visit his mother at Cining Palace and even ordered a table full of delicious food for the system in the small kitchen.
Xiang Huayue understood His Majesty's intentions; she was simply worried.
Even after seeing that His Majesty was unharmed, her heart remained uneasy.
In the Cining Palace, after Liang Chongyue had her meal, her mother pulled her hand and sat her on the Luohan bed.
He met his mother's worried eyes.
"Now that the border is safe and the court is peaceful, I don't know what Your Majesty is busy with, but Your Majesty should take better care of your health."
Xiang Huayue looked at His Majesty's increasingly thin face and touched it with heartache.
"I understand. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll be able to get some rest."
If it weren't for the sheer number of these monsters, Liang Chongyue worried that simply sending troops might allow some to escape.
She had calculated it after discovering the monsters.
Back then, that small country in the Western Regions only captured about twenty monsters.
More than half of them died intermittently afterwards.
In such a short time, there have been so many monsters; just looking at the panel, there are at least two hundred of them.
There aren't many small monsters among them.
This demonstrates just how fast these monsters reproduce and how short their growth cycle is.
If we cannot wipe them out in one fell swoop this time, there will be endless troubles in the future.
Otherwise, Liang Chongyue wouldn't have needed to go to such great lengths.
After leaving his mother's place, Liang Chongyue began preparing for his departure.
I was originally planning to catch up on the progress of the memorials submitted these past few days.
After seeing the baskets that Ping An had brought in, Liang Chongyue promptly outsourced the task.
He then held a brief meeting with several ministers, the gist of which was...
"Stop submitting any memorials for the next month. You will report directly to me upon my return."
Even if this meant missing out on some important things, Liang Chongyue couldn't care less.
Otherwise, by the time she returns, the backlog of memorials might bury her alive.
In addition, she had a backup plan.
The emperor was permitted to oversee the state together with the six ministers.
The future of the Great Xia Dynasty is bright, and Li Yu'an is the father figure on the bright jade tablet.
With this relationship in place, Liang Chongyue could leave with peace of mind while Li Yu'an oversaw the country.
During the day, Liang Chongyue took a nap and only felt better by sunset.
He addressed Fei He, who had rushed over:
"This matter is dangerous. I want you to stay in the capital and keep an eye on these people for me."
Fei He also knew that this matter was dangerous, and what he wanted to do was to follow His Majesty.
However, it is understood that the Crown Princess is not in the capital after His Majesty's departure.
Only when he is here can His Majesty feel at ease.
"Yes, I understand.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, nothing will happen in the capital."
With his words, Liang Chongyue felt relieved.
"Move all the secret guards from Qingyu Pavilion here to guard the capital together with the Yunzhou garrison."
After Fei He left, Liang Chongyue had a good sleep and was fully refreshed.
The next morning, he led the soldiers of the main camp in the suburbs of Beijing on an expedition.
We rushed along the way, and finally arrived at the mountain range after 5 days.
He gave advance instructions that the local residents were not allowed to go up the mountain for a month.
Then Liang Chongyue began to arrange his troops, having his soldiers surround the entire mountain range.
The soldiers arrived weary from their journey, and their scent would surely attract the attention of these monsters.
Before setting off, Liang Chongyue had already tested the monster's extremely keen sense of smell.
But now that she's here, she's determined not to let this little thing affect all the hard work she's put into these past few days.
The soldiers set up camp on the edge of the mountain.
Liang Chongyue sat in the commander's tent, constantly monitoring the monsters' movements through the control panel.
There was no rush to bring the system back.
It's more convenient to do things outside the system.
As long as we don't come back now, no one will know where the system is.
If any problems arise, the system can fix them immediately.
Watching the monsters on the panel sniffing around, feeling the unfamiliar scent brought by the wind.
Liang Chongyue was waiting for an opportunity, and when the time came, she began blasting the mountain.
Now she just had to wait and see how the monsters reacted. If they reacted violently, she would have to act sooner rather than later.
On their way here, the soldiers learned of their destination.
He felt more caution than fear towards the monster he had never seen before.
The Great Xia Dynasty is now at peace, and military officers can only advance through combat.
Such an opportunity, though dangerous, is unlikely to come again.
Xiang Zheng followed along, constantly thinking about how to use those explosives.
But His Majesty showed no sign of worry.
Even when she mentioned it to His Majesty, he only told her to rest assured.
Looking at the somewhat restless monsters on the panel, Liang Chongyue knew that the best time to blast the mountain was before dawn, based on their habits.
The monsters were all fast asleep at that time.
