HCB Chapter 911 Senior Brother, you are mistaken!
Chapter 911 Senior Brother, you are mistaken!
"Brother-in-law! I'm here!"
Zhou Dapeng ran over excitedly, and you could feel his heartfelt joy from a distance!
Jia Daoshi smiled and said, "I saw you were resting the whole time. How are you feeling now?"
“Great! I feel full of energy!” Zhou Dapeng said earnestly.
Jia Daoshi: "Didn't I tell you before that I wanted you to do something for me?"
“I remember, brother-in-law, just say it!” Zhou Dapeng snapped to attention and stood up straight!
At the same time, his gaze toward Jia Daoshi became fiery. He loved to work; he disliked being idle!
As long as I do something, my brother-in-law will teach me the skills to command the wind and rain!
Just imagine that scene, it would be incredibly cool!
If one could master the ability to summon wind and rain, and to command thunder, then one would be like a god!
"Brother-in-law, hurry up and tell me!" Zhou Dapeng urged.
Jia Daoshi pointed to the battlefield below the city wall of Sifang City, where corpses were piled up layer upon layer, densely packed, a shocking sight!
"The battlefield? What happened?"
Zhou Dapeng was somewhat puzzled.
"Your task is to lead the Dragon Army to clean up this battlefield and collect all the weapons scattered on the ground."
Jia Daoshi laughed and said, "Actually, this matter is very simple. It's just cleaning up the battlefield. It's just that we killed quite a few people, so it takes a lot of time and effort."
As for Jia Daoshi's special instruction to pack the weapons away separately, it was because he discovered that the weapons of the Longwu Army were different from those of the Dajing Dynasty. These weapons were tough and could absorb human blood, turning themselves red.
The purer the texture, the better the blood-absorbing effect should be, and the greater the toughness should be.
This is a very rare metal that can be used to make mechanical beasts!
"Um...do we have to collect them all?"
Zhou Dapeng glanced at the corpses on the battlefield, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead. The scene from the cliff city flashed through his mind.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, the soldiers in charge lay in bed for seven days and seven nights, and their hands and feet were still shaking!
"Yes, we want them all! Not a single one left!"
Jia Daoshi nodded, looking serious. It wasn't intentional on his part; the main problem was that these metals seemed to absorb a lot of things, including blood and the poisonous fog that had been scattered on the battlefield. If this were to spread and ordinary people picked it up, they definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it and would be poisoned to death!
That's why only people with certain skills can clean up such battlefields; ordinary soldiers can easily be poisoned if they're not careful.
The Dragon Army is full of martial arts masters, each with considerable skill. Only by having them do this task can we be absolutely certain of success!
"What? Are you having trouble?"
Seeing the troubled look on Zhou Dapeng's face, Jia Daoshi said with a smile.
"No problem! What problem could there be!"
Zhou Dapeng took a deep breath, patted his chest, and said that if he didn't want to experience being a god for once, he really wouldn't want to do this kind of hard labor.
However, he had no choice in the matter. When the Empress issued a decree, he would have to go whether he wanted to or not!
It's better to be decisive now and leave a good impression!
Perhaps I'll be able to learn more techniques in the future.
"Okay! I trust you to handle things. Later, your brother-in-law will teach you how to summon lightning. It'll be absolutely awesome!"
Jia Daoshi patted Zhou Dapeng on the shoulder, his face full of encouragement.
"Okay! Don't worry, brother-in-law!"
Upon hearing that it could also summon thunder, Zhou Dapeng immediately perked up!
Jia Daoshi chuckled. He truly trusted Zhou Dapeng's abilities. If he didn't know how to make good use of such a powerful guy, it would be a complete waste!
After settling things on the battlefield, Jia Daoshi returned to the city lord's mansion with his wives, ready to get some rest.
However, before he could even reach the city lord's mansion, Jia Miao appeared beside him and brought Jia Daoshi some news.
Upon hearing the news brought back by Jia Miao, Jia Daoshi couldn't help but smile.
……
"Senior Brother Meng, are there really masters in the martial arts world who can create god-level mechanical beasts? Wouldn't using such mechanical beasts on the battlefield make us invincible?"
Across from Sifang City, in Yuecheng, inside a tavern.
Because of the heavy snowfall, a roaring charcoal fire was lit inside the tavern, raising the temperature considerably. A stunningly beautiful young woman sat by the window, watching the bustling scene in Moon City as she casually remarked.
Beside the woman stood a figure completely shrouded in a black cloak, but this figure remained motionless, like a statue.
After listening to the woman's words, a young man sitting opposite her picked up his wine glass and took a small sip.
This young man was none other than Meng Chaoge, the right prime minister's prized student who had fled the capital.
Meng Chaoge had clearly dressed up deliberately today, looking quite flamboyant.
As for why I dressed up? Of course, it's for the girl in front of me!
This young girl is none other than Jiangnan Chunxin, the future successor of Taxuelou!
Jiangnan Chunxin can be said to be the most outstanding disciple of Taxuelou in all these years!
"Junior sister is right. Back then, Yun Gu Lei Feng suffered a great loss because of these mechanical beasts!"
Meng Chaoge casually flicked her white paper folding fan, fanning herself as she spoke with a smile.
On this freezing cold day, everyone else is warming themselves by the fire, but he's the only one fanning himself with a fan, not for any other reason than to show off.
Moreover, Meng Chaoge's gaze towards Jiang Nanchunxin was fiery, and the occasional glances he gave Jiang Nanchunxin concealed a subtle filth deep within, though he hid it well, and Jiang Nanchunxin didn't look at him much, so he didn't notice.
Yun Gu and Lei Feng both suffered greatly from these mechanical beasts.
Jiang Nanchun was taken aback, then a smile appeared on his lips: "In that case, this person truly deserves the title of master. Although Yun Gu Lei Feng's strength has plummeted and its power has been greatly reduced, its foundation is still there. It is not something that ordinary mechanical beasts can contend with!"
"Junior sister is right, this person is indeed quite capable."
Meng Chaoge nodded slightly: "However, compared with the puppetry of Taxuelou, mechanical arts are ultimately just minor skills, crude and shoddy, unworthy of being presented in a refined setting!"
“Senior brother, you are mistaken! There are many extraordinary people in the martial world. The domineering mechanical arts of the Kumu Sect are no small matter. Although the puppetry of my Taxue Tower is powerful, we dare not underestimate the heroes of the world!” Jiang Nanchunxin shook his head with a humble expression. “I came here this time to see the real domineering mechanical arts and see if they can help improve my puppetry skills.”
