Chapter Twenty-Three: Follow Me
Alone in the west building without a word, the moon is like a hook, the lonely Wutong deep courtyard locks the Qingqiu, the cut is constant, the reason is still messy, it is sorrowful, don't be a taste in the heart.
This is a song "Seeing Huan" by Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty in Duan Chong's previous life, and at this moment, Duan Chong thought of Xiao Beiping, and he couldn't help but think of Li Houzhu, the king of the dead country, who was also a dead country, compared to the feelings of the two kings, but Duan Chong didn't know how many cold words and pressure he would face after Xiao Beiping went north, there is no doubt that after arriving in Beiliang, Xiao Beiping, the king, will face more terrible pressure than the death of the country. It is a constraint on the military power is very likely to be seized by Emperor Wu of Liang, it is to bear the infamy of the world and endure humiliation, it is to preserve the last hope of recovery of Southern Liang by unscrupulous means, at this time, Xiao Beiping's shoulders, I don't know how many things to shoulder, Duan Zhong can imagine how much pain and struggle this young king has in his heart, above history, there are many stories of the king of the dead country killing himself, and Xiao Beiping chose to live strongly, perhaps in the eyes of others, Xiao Beiping is a cowardly and incompetent performance, But in Duan Zhong's view, being able to survive is the greatest courage.
Maybe in Beiliang, there is another person who can take care of Xiao Beiping's state of mind, and this person is undoubtedly Xiao Zhengrong, both of whom followed Duan Zhong in Dali for two years when they were young. Although he has always looked down on each other, but invisibly he has established a very deep relationship, Duan Chong does not expect this Xiao Beiping or Xiao Zhengrong not to resent himself, because Duan Chong knows that whether it is Xiao Beiping or Xiao Zhengrong, or Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao He is Wang Haitang Wang Empress, they may be able to guess that this cannon is Duan Chong's masterpiece, after all, a long time ago, Duan Chong had already passed away with a bomb, so Duan Chong believed that at this time, no matter who it was, he would hate himself so much...... Itchy teeth.
At the same time, the whole world will be looking for a way to crack the terrifying weapon of the cannon, but in Duan Zhong's view, if there is no other thermal weapon in this world, this cannon will still be ...... Invincible existence, unless there will be a grandmaster-level martial arts master in Daliang to destroy all these nearly a thousand cannons, but unfortunately, Xiao Ran, the only pseudo-grandmaster-level master in Daliang...... has fallen under Duan Chong's artillery fire, as for Dali's Duan Zheng...... Will you come out to slap Dali's mouth, as for the great master of Dongyi...... As long as Dongyi is safe and sound, why does the Great Grandmaster of Dongyi care about the life and death of Daliang? No doubt...... The future of this northern beam is still worrying.
At present, Duanzhuang's army has been stationed in the hinterland of Nanliang and the fertile land south of the Yangtze River, constantly replenishing its troops and constantly subduing the people's hearts. Although this is not a matter of one or two days, it has already achieved a lot of results, and with Jiangnan, it means that Duan Zhuang can have more troops, more silver to arm his soldiers, more skilled craftsmen to cast cannons, and more raw materials to make bombs...... This is a big pit, when one day this big pit is filled, then it means that the gas of the North Liang has entered, Duan Zhuang will take tens of thousands of troops, tens of thousands of artillery pieces and countless ammunition to cross the river to the north, and go directly to crush all the resistance forces, this is a conceivable ending, and how long will it take for such a deadline to arrive, Duan Zhong touched his nose and calculated, five years, no, it will be shorter, three years, three years will be enough, when the time comes, the entire Central Plains is the world of Dali, Daliang no longer exists, the Huns, The Tubo capital bowed its head to the vassals, and Dali, which was originally in a corner of the frontier, dominated the entire continent, what a beautiful and great cause, and the root of all this cause was only brought by Duan Zhong from the previous world...... Knowledge of firearms.
Duan Zhong let out a long sigh, countless letters were scattered messily all over the ground under his feet, at this time, Duan Zhong didn't know what he should do? It seems that he can't do anything, he can't stop anything, since he can't go against his brother, it is impossible to help Xiao Beiping and Xiao Zhengrong, so Duan Chong's only decision at the moment is to let Ji Wuchang go out of the valley and go to Jiangnan to make money, this Jiangnan is calm, and it is his brother Duan Zhuang who is in control, Duan Chong sent Ji Wuchang out Even if he takes over the entire Jiangnan shopping mall, it is no problem, so Duan Chong can even predict that in a few years, there will be another "Wei Zhigao" master, it's just that this "Wei Zhigao" master is ...... Own.
Duan Chong drank the cup of Longjing tea in his hand, but he was a little depressed, the pale reality in front of him was really helpless, and many things in his plan seemed to have not developed according to his preset track, just when Duan Chong was lamenting, Jiang Mingchen walked in and said in Duan Chong's ear: "Little master, Cui Rixing and Tie Dan have been safely picked up, and there has been no mistake!" Duan Chongyan nodded when he heard this, he wanted to say that he was going to meet these two geniuses, but he waved his hand again: "The journey is tiring, so let's arrange for them to rest first!" It's late at night, and it's not good to meet now! Jiang Mingchen nodded and left when he heard this.
And Duan Zhong let out a long sigh, and after speaking, he found that he had been sitting in this hall for a whole day, from morning to late at night, during which Princess Suoyali, Su'er and Liao Jiajia all came to visit Duan Chong, talked to Duan Chong, and sent some food, but now they have all slept, Duan Zhong got up and walked to the bedroom, Su'er, Liao Jiajia and Princess Suo'ali's door were not closed, even the door of Miss Su Mei's room also left a crack, Duan Chong suddenly smiled dumbly after looking at it, these four girls, I'm afraid that tonight is all about hope, hoping that Duan Zhong can enter his room! A woman is actually an animal that is easy to satisfy, but Duan Zhong is even an animal that is easy to satisfy...... Not satisfied, of course, this is not physiological, physiologically...... Duan Zhong is famous...... Seven times in one night, this kind of unsatisfying is psychologically, Duan Chong needs to take into account too many things, it is difficult to take into account the feelings of each girl, and even if he doesn't have enough time to accompany them, Duan Chong is naturally extremely guilty, but he is very helpless.
Duan Chong carefully closed the doors of the four girls' rooms very lightly, and then walked into an empty bedroom...... Be still.
Sitting down on the bed, Duan Chong squinted his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate, gathering all the information, but at this moment, Duan Chong suddenly felt a breeze blowing around him, and was taken aback, and hurriedly opened his eyes, but found that there was already a person sitting on the board of the boat next to him, Duan Chong was shocked, with Duan Chong's current cultivation, there was still someone who could appear beside him unconsciously, what was going on.
However, by the time Duan Chong Fangfu saw who this person was, Duan Zheng's voice had already reached Duan Chong's ears: "You...... Breakthrough! ”
Duan Zhong was slightly stunned, but nodded: "It seems to be...... Such! ”
Duan Zheng's voice was a little ethereal: "Are you wondering why you broke through, or didn't find any traces of my arrival!" ”
Duan nodded his head: "Yes......"
Duan Zhengzheng said quietly: "Because...... You don't really have a breakthrough! ”
Duan Zhong was stunned: "What do you mean!" ”
Duan Zhengzheng got up quietly: "Follow me!" After saying that, he flashed out of the house, Duan Chong naturally didn't dare to be sloppy, and hurriedly followed, Duan Zhengjing floated all the way, but jumped directly out of the valley from the top of the mountain, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, a sword light flashed, leveling a dense forest, but Duan Zhengzheng was standing on the flat ground, and the sword pointed at Duan Chong and said: "Make a move!" ”
Duan Zhong was stunned, but he didn't hesitate, he directly pulled out the sword on his waist and swung it towards Duan Zhengzheng, this is not a fancy move, because a grandmaster-level martial arts master does not need any moves and swordsmanship, just rely on his own strength, it is enough to split the opponent into powder.
But with a slight wave of the sword in Duan Zhengzheng's hand, Duan Chong's sword had already swung away, and then there was a crisp sound of "clang", Duan Chong's sword was actually cut in two, and the next moment, Duan Zhengzheng's sword was already on Duan Chong's neck.
Suddenly, Duan Zhong let out a cold sweat, he didn't expect that even if his cultivation was so improved, he wouldn't be able to catch Duan Zheng's two moves, and he suddenly looked dumbfounded.
Duan Zhengjing's cold voice floated over: "Your current cultivation is only one level higher than Xiao Ran, and you are just a pseudo-grandmaster-level master!" ”
Duan Zhong was taken aback: "How to divide this!" ”
Duan Zhengzheng said lightly: "If you can fight to a draw with me, you will be a grandmaster-level master!" ”
Duan Chongyan sighed when he heard this, but he suddenly laughed again: "To have the current cultivation, I am already enough to steal fun, and I am not a person who pursues the peak of martial arts, naturally I don't need such a high level of cultivation, just now, it is enough for me to look at the world!" ”
Duan Zhengjing let out a long sigh and said, "Let me ask you, is the reason why your cultivation broke through because you used the Emperor's Sword to get it!" ”
Duan nodded and said, "Yes...... What's the problem! ”
Duan Zhengjing let out a long sigh: "The reason why I don't let you practice the Emperor's Sword is because there are great drawbacks in this swordsmanship, when a peak martial arts master uses the Emperor's Sword, there will be a certain possibility that a person's cultivation will continue to improve, until he reaches the realm of a grandmaster-level master, but this improvement has a price!" ”
Duan Chong was stunned when he heard this: "What price!" ”
"Life!" Duan Zhengcheng's face was solemn: "The faster your cultivation improves, the faster you will die, have you noticed that your current cultivation is much higher than when you first entered the grandmaster-level master!" ”
Duan thought about it for a while, but nodded: "Yes!" ”
Duan Zhengjing continued: "When your cultivation is improved to the point where you can fight with me to a draw, it will be your death date!" ”
Duan Chong's body was shocked: "How long do I have to live!" ”
Duan Zhengjing sighed: "According to your current speed, at most...... One year! ”
Duan Chong's body shook again: "There is a solution!" ”
Duan Zhengzheng sighed: "Follow me!" ”
"Where to go!"
"Cangshan!"
