Chapter 499: Old Things
Chen Hai and the others rushed back to Jin Jiaoyuan, at this time Zhao Chengjiao was still unconscious, and the middle-aged beauty and the young man in the brocade robe and Yan Ran Palace were guarding the unconscious Zhao Chengjiao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It may also be that they were frightened and have no ideas, or they may not trust Chen Hai very much, the middle-aged beauty and the young man in the brocade robe saw Chen Hai coming, and they just thanked him briefly, but they had no intention of saying anything to Chen Hai.
Back in Yandang City, Chen Hai considered that the identity of the middle-aged beauty and the young man in the brocade robe was not simple, so he directly sent them to a courtyard on Huxin Island to live temporarily.
The island in the middle of the lake is Chen Hai's daily cultivation place in Yandang City, and it is heavily guarded, but in order to prevent the British king from saying that the Seven Lords have not given up, it is possible to continue to send assassins, Chen Hai asked Granny Crane to guard the island, and sent another 2,000 elite guards to strengthen the guard.
Once it can be confirmed that this brocade-robed young man is the emperor, then Chen Hai is undoubtedly equivalent to holding a trump card in this complicated situation, but in front of Wen Boyuan, Zhao Zhong, Zhao Chengjiao and others, he can't be too eager, so Chen Hai plans to wait for Zhao Chengjiao and Fang Xiyan's injuries to be settled.
At the same time, Chen Hai also arranged Zhao Chengjiao, Fang Xiyan and Yanran Palace Sword Attendants in the courtyard of Huxin Island, together with middle-aged beauties and brocade-robed youths, indicating that he had no ambition to control the emperor alone.
When Zhao Chengjiao's affairs were properly arranged, Chen Hai had to dive to the place of cultivation to entertain the four demons.
The identities of the four demons are still top secret, and the banquet is only accompanied by a very small number of people such as Huang Shuang, Zhou Jingyuan, Su Yuan, Sun Gan, Wu Meng, and Qi Hanjiang.
I don't know if the four demons have something wrong with the cultivation and transformation chapter, although they can all transform into human bodies, but their appearance is a little bitter and ugly, not to mention handsome and healthy, and I don't know if they don't want to be a little white face, or if they have other strange aesthetics.
The ape demon has a huge body, a head taller than Chen Hai, with thick hair on his hands and feet, and a thick beard on his face, like weeds; the cunning demon has a long and narrow face, which can really be said to be a standard horse face; the tiger demon and the wolf demon have a red face and a green face, and they are also rough and ugly.
Chen Hai said to the four demons: "The four demon venerables have cultivated their human bodies, if they are willing to stay in the Longxiang camp to serve, they will also have the opportunity to pay homage to the prime minister and be named the marquis in the future, but before that, the demon venerable should also have a formal title, which is convenient for showing up, and it is also convenient for the disciples of the Hengshan military and civilian and the Tianji Academy to worship and recite every day." ”
"We have become human beings, and we are also coarse people, whatever name we take, we all listen to you, Brother Chen. The demon ape said in an urn voice.
"Don't be big or small, when you go to Yandang City, you have to keep the rules and call Chen Hou or the lord. Cang Yu snorted dissatisfiedly, knowing that the four demons usually do not abide by restraints, and if they don't set up the rules first at this time, they will inevitably become even more lawless in the future.
Chen Hai didn't pay attention to these things, he groaned for a while, and said: "In my opinion, the Ape Demon Venerable will be called Yuan Tianyue in the future, the Tiger Demon Venerable will be called Hu Tianling in the future, the Wolf Demon Venerable will be called Lang Tianjiang in the future, and the Cunning Demon Venerable will be called Ma Tianhe in the future-The Taoist Monastery is still a big taboo in Yanzhou, and someone must ask about your identity, so they will say that it is the Mountain Protector Venerable of the Tianji Academy......
"Okay, listen to your lord. The demon ape drank wine and ate meat, and promised very well, and his mind had already flown out of the Governor's Mansion, thinking of pulling Qi Hanjiang out and leading the four of them to the world of human flowers and flowers, and enjoy it happily.
Chen Hai could see that the thoughts of the four demons were not here, so he let Qi Hanjiang be responsible for receiving the four demons, and also asked Qi Hanjiang to be careful that the identities of the four demons could not be easily exposed.
The banquet was very grand, but Cang Yi was present, and the four demons were very uncomfortable, so they couldn't wait to urge Qi Hanjiang to lead them out to have a good time, Zhou Jingyuan and Wu Meng said goodbye and went back to Yandang City first.
Before he could get out of the courtyard, Chen Hai heard the demon ape in the courtyard and asked Qi Hanjiang in a small voice: "I heard that there is a Qinglou brothel in the Terran city, and there are beautiful women of the Terran who will strip naked and serve us to drink and eat, this sounds very interesting, let's go there......"
"This is more fun than drinking and eating, but there are some things, Sizun must not let go too much, you must know that the women of the human race may not be able to withstand hundreds of pounds of heavy objects, in case of human life, I am afraid that there will be no way to go out and be happy in the future." Qi Hanjiang said.
"We can save it, and you will bring us there. The demon ape urged.
Chen Li was full of black lines, but he couldn't call Qi Hanjiang and them back at this time, so he could only pretend not to know and let them do whatever they wanted.
Arranged for Cang Yi to go to the side courtyard to cultivate, Chen Hai also returned to the backyard, in addition to always paying attention to Zhao Chengjiao's movements, he also looked at the latest research results sent by the Tianji Academy.
Although the output of quenched gold iron looks terrifying, it still seems a drop in the bucket in the face of the blood demon puppets based on tens of millions.
Chen Hai asked Zhao Ruhui to start from the structure very early, not only to ensure the penetration of heavy crossbow shells and other performance, but also to further control the amount of quenched iron.
Zhao Ruhui and the others have also researched several kinds of heavy ballista, but there is no Rakshasa Blood Demon to refer to in the past, so several heavy ballista ballista with different structures and different proportions of quenched iron and fine wrought iron materials, no one can give an agreement.
At this time, there are blood demon puppets that can be used for experiments, and after more than half a year of military exercises, there is specific data.
Taken together, a kind of heavy ballista with quenched iron forging the bullet edge and core, and the main body is cast with fine wrought iron, with excellent performance, and the consumption of each heavy ballista on quenched iron is reduced to less than one catty.
This step-by-step improvement may not seem big, but the significance is really significant.
However, the lethality of the heavy crossbow is mainly limited to the martial arts and guard-level blood demons, and the damage to the martial school-level Rakshasa blood demons is very limited.
However, the martial school-level Blood Demon's attack power and speed are incredibly high, and he will never easily let the heavy crossbow shoot for a dozen breaths without knowing how to dodge.
As for the generals and martial marquis-level trolls, Chen Hai only sighed, thinking that this still requires the strong men of the Jinyan Prefecture to work together to carry it.
However, quenched iron, although it is far from the world's top refining material, is the only casting material that can be mass-produced, and using other top materials to cast heavy arrows, there is no way to further improve the firing speed, and it is unlikely to pose a threat to generals and martial marquis-level trolls.
When Chen Hai was thinking hard, his consciousness suddenly moved, and there was movement in the lakeside courtyard.
Chen Hai put down the Heavenly Scroll in his hand, placed a ban in the study, and prevented people from entering and leaving at will, and then his body was like a ghost, rushing towards the courtyard where Zhao Chengjiao and them were temporarily staying.
Zhao Chengjiao was in a side room in the lakeside courtyard at this time, holding on to the edge of the bed and coughing violently, gulping out of blood.
Chen Hai walked in, asked many sword attendants to step aside first, took out a cyan elixir from his arms, and put it into Zhao Chengjiao's mouth, destroying the pure yang true yuan and helping Zhao Chengjiao heal his injuries.
After a while, Zhao Chengjiao's red face slowly eased, and he asked eagerly: "Chen Hou, has the emperor ever been safe?"
When Chen Hai arrived, he had run out of oil, and when he saw Chen Hai, he fainted, and he didn't know what happened after that, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to ask about the emperor's safety.
Chen Hai said: "Lord Zhao doesn't need to worry, the emperor has been picked up safely, but he has been frightened and tired, and he has already rested." ”
Hearing Chen Hai say this, Zhao Chengjiao struggled and had to get up and go to the emperor in person to feel at ease.
Chen Hai hurriedly held him down and said, "Lord Zhao, you have been fighting fiercely for more than a day, although the spiritual veins have not been completely broken, but the injury is definitely not light, you can't rest at ease at this time, I'm afraid it will hinder your cultivation." ”
Zhao Chengjiao's weak struggle couldn't withstand Chen Hai in the end, so he had to say intermittently: "Our family thanks Chen Hou for his concern, and Chen Hou doesn't need to say words of comfort to me, in fact, not only am I all guilty, but this time I am afraid that even Dao Dan will be difficult to protect." Right now, you and I are all in the same vein as Yanran Palace, and our lives are tied to the emperor, how can I rest assured if I don't see the emperor's safety with my own eyes?"
When Chen Hai heard Zhao Chengjiao say this, he sneered in his heart, thinking that your life is tied to the emperor of unknown origin, but you obviously have to pass through the jurisdiction of the Longxiang camp, but you don't know that you will be here, speaking of which, he is wary of him and the Longxiang camp, and has no trust, otherwise where will it cause death?
However, seeing that Zhao Chengjiao was too insistent, Chen Hai helped him up and went to see the sleeping emperor in the courtyard next door.
The two of them went out of the room, bypassing the two flower beds, and an ancient wooden house made of logs appeared in front of them, and Granny Crane and the twelve Yanran Palace swordsmen were always guarding the courtyard to ensure that there was no accident here.
Zhao Chengjiao struggled to step up the steps and walked in with Chen Hai.
In addition to the small hall in the middle, the wooden house is divided into two wings, east and west, although simple, but elegant.
As soon as I entered the door, there were a few quaint chairs in the small hall, and when I opened the bead curtain in the east wing, I saw a young man in a brocade robe lying on the bed, sleeping sweetly.
Zhao Chengjiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the anxious look on his face also went.
The two gently returned to the hall and sat on the chair, Zhao Chengjiao was seriously injured, and he was a little tired as soon as he moved lightly, so he sat on the chair and tried his best to regulate his breathing, and never dared to gasp.
Chen Hai wanted to make tea, but was stopped by Zhao Chengjiao, pointing to the next door, meaning not to disturb the emperor's rest.
Although Chen Hai had met Zhao Chengjiao once or twice before, he also knew that this person had always been arrogant - of course, he was really good at cultivating, otherwise it would be impossible to lead the sword attendants of Yanran Palace to last for a day under the siege of three Dao Dan and so many black armor elites.
Seeing Zhao Chengjiao's cautious appearance at this time, Chen Hai guessed that he probably didn't want to upset this so-called emperor, thinking that Zhao Chengjiao was like this, and the situation in Yanjing should not be optimistic.
After a while, Zhao Chengjiao finally adjusted his breathing and said softly: "Chen Hou, I hope you can arrange it and let us enter Beijing as soon as possible." The holy days are numbered, and if something goes wrong in the middle, I am afraid that we will all die without a place to bury. ”
Chen Hai was about to agree, when he suddenly noticed that the breath coming from the west wing was different, but he didn't expect that the middle-aged beauty was not completely uncultivated, and he could still hear them whispering here.
Chen Hai pondered for a moment, raised his voice a little and said: "Don't say that Lord Zhao, you are seriously injured now, it is not suitable to travel long distances, the emperor and the imperial concubine Jin Yu have been disturbed in the past few days, and they have to rest for a few days anyway, and wait for me to make arrangements here to ensure that no assassin dares to come to the door to find death, and then it is safer to go on the road." ”
Zhao Chengjiao's cultivation was completely lost at this time, so he naturally didn't know what Chen Hai's idea was, but Chen Hai clearly felt that the breath of the West Wing Room was even, and he smiled secretly in his heart, and then asked: "Lord Zhao, it's just the emperor and the imperial concubine, what is going on, why have you never heard of it before?"
"Back then, the Holy Emperor drove the expedition in person, and did not bring a concubine, there was a woman from a small sect under the Taiwei Sect, who was responsible for taking care of the Holy Lord's daily life, and I don't know what means were used to envelop the Sacred Heart, and the bead fetus was secretly knotted in front of the battle. At that time, the saint only thought about sweeping Jin Qiang, so he took him back to the palace and became a concubine, but he didn't expect that such a big change would happen in the Western Expedition, so he never took care of the imperial concubine...... "Zhao Chengjiao said.
Chen Hai smiled in his heart, he was not a three-year-old child, how could he fully believe Zhao Chengjiao's words.
It is reasonable to say that it is impossible to take care of it for a while, but more than 20 years have passed since the setback of the Western Expedition, and it has been several years since the emperor returned to power, how can he not take care of it?
In the final analysis, it was most likely that Wen Boyuan deliberately concealed the matter of the emperor and the imperial concubine, so that at a critical time, they could have hole cards to balance the British king and the lords of Jingjun......
