Chapter 407: Triumph
Without interference, Tianyou quickly used ropes to move everyone to the unaffected section of the bridge ahead, and then recovered the rock plugs and ropes one by one to prepare for the transfer.
Huge Hai took Tianyou's homemade rock plug and looked at it for a long time, so that other people who were not interested in it couldn't help but look at it twice, and finally Wang Wu found the clue, came over to pass the rock plug and put it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly for a while, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Tianyou with wide eyes in surprise.
"This ...... Who made this?"
Tianyou easily took back the rock plug and put it in the worry-free bag and replied: "I did it myself." ”
Looking at the empty hands, Wang Wu also knew that Tianyou didn't want others to study him, but after thinking about it, he still asked, "I don't know if Tianyou has the meaning of passing it on to my court?"
"It's just a small object, I'm afraid that even if you contribute it, no one cares. ”
Tianyou replied that Wang Wu paused again, and finally gave up stupidly and continued to ask. Obviously, Tianyou just doesn't want to share it, and he is not a dignitary, so it doesn't make sense to worry about this. First, it is not the direction he is responsible for, and secondly, he is not qualified to negotiate terms with Tianyou, and the third will offend people, so he has no choice but to give up.
As if seeing Wang Wu's silence, Tianyou thought about it and explained: "The artifact has never been valued by those high-ranking officials in the court, and this thing has a single purpose, and few people care about it, even if I take the initiative to offer it, it will be praised at most." Brother Wang, do you think that my current identity lacks those two words of praise?"
Wang Wu was also stunned. Tianyou said it politely, but he knew that the real situation might not be as good as what Tianyou said.
Tianyou's rock plug uses a mechanical structure, that is, a tensile expansion structure made of asymmetrical eccentric wheels, which is simply tighter and tighter. The benefits of this rock plug are naturally many, but the disadvantage is that it is not easy to manufacture. Moreover, this thing is afraid that it is not useful to the people of Qin State, but it is very useful in the army. Therefore, this one can only be counted as an ordnance in the end.
In the official system of the Qin State, the construction of ordnance has always been the responsibility of the arsenal, but the arsenal is a civilian official, and he knows what the swords, guns, swords, and halberds are for, but it is quite laborious to explain the usefulness and benefits of this rock plug. Besides, people may not be patient enough to listen to you. Therefore, if it is handed in, in the end, it is two things to say whether people will accept it or not, not to mention that there is any reward. As for handing it over directly to higher-level officials...... People are not in charge of this, and they go to tell others for such a small thing, and the benefits are not enough to owe favors. Thinking about it like this, Wang Wu completely gave up this aspect of his thoughts. Originally, I wanted to make some more credit with this thing, but I didn't expect to think too much about it.
A few people have arrived at the Huaiyang ferry while talking, there may have been ambushes here before, but now there is no one left, I think I know that I missed in front of me, and I can't stop it here, so I left in advance. However, the group left and took the boat with them, which made it difficult for them to be blessed. Fortunately, two big ships soon drove on the opposite side, with the Qin army logo on them, and there were even more armor soldiers, obviously knowing that Huaiyangdu was ambushed by people to find a place.
There was a slight misunderstanding when the two sides met, but fortunately, there was token recognition, and the misunderstanding was quickly resolved. The warships left a lot of soldiers and sent them to the other side first, and then loaded more sergeants and some craftsmen to Huaiyangdu. Even if the transportation capacity is very low, Huaiyangdu is already an important channel for the Qin State to communicate with the neutral zone, and now that it is destroyed, the Qin State naturally attaches great importance to it.
Let's say that on Tianyou's side, a group of people stepped on the land of Qin, and immediately felt that the whole person became much lighter. Although during the National Games, monks from other countries may still invade and snatch the gold bricks, but after all, this is the territory of the Qin State, and it is also its own home field, so it has an advantage.
After the group successfully arrived in Fengxiang Town, the sergeant escorted was replaced by a sergeant who specialized in participating in the national sports mission. These people obviously have some cultivation foundation, although they can't be compared with genuine monks, they can be regarded as the elite of the elite.
Since the two sides successfully converged, Tianyou no longer followed the team, and asked Zhao Lingyun and the two senior brothers to escort the gold bricks to the royal city to be stored in the Taimiao first, and he took Qi Xiaomei and Hu Qingxuan to Qingyuan Mountain together. According to the agreement, the tiger girl should still be waiting in the mountains to meet him at this moment.
Tianyou, who left the team, entered Qingyuan Mountain with a familiar car, and took Hu Qingxuan and Qi Xiaomei all the way over the mountains and mountains, and soon entered the Valley of the Hundred Beasts.
Tianyou stretched out his arms to show Hu Qingxuan the valley behind him. "How's it going to be here?"
"Surrounded by mountains, strange beasts are rampant. For the human race, it is a dangerous place and a Jedi, but it is a good place for my demon race. Did the benefactor come here often?" No need for Tianyou to explain, looking at his familiar appearance, Hu Qingxuan probably knew that Tianyou was not here for the first time.
"It's all said that it's okay to just call me by my name. After speaking, Tianyou looked around again and said, "It can be said that this is where I grew up." ”
"Then it's no wonder. Hu Qingxuan suddenly hid his face and chuckled when he said this, and only after arousing Tianyou's curious eyes did he explain: "I suddenly thought of En...... God bless Gongzi, you jump up and down on the Huaiyang Ancient Road, like a smart ape, it turns out that the origin is here. ”
Poof......
Hu Qingxuan's words amused Qi Xiaomei, and she was afraid that Tianyou would be angry and quickly covered her mouth. Tianyou didn't care. "You're not the first to say that about me. As he spoke, he suddenly changed his words and asked, "It was also a good time to save you from the predicament before, but you are a demon clan after all, and you should not be trapped in the cage chain." I've been busy running around before, and I don't have time to arrange a place for you. The world here is beautiful, and it is isolated from the world, you ......"
"Engong wants to drive me away?" When Hu Qingxuan spoke, a layer of water vapor instantly filled his eyes, which was called a pitiful one, and Tianyou felt as if he had committed some heinous crime as long as he nodded.
"Huh...... I just think it's a righteous move to save you, but it doesn't seem appropriate to take you with me. After all, you are a demon clan, and I am a child of the fairy sect. Slaying demons and destroying demons is my generation's style. The previous senior brothers didn't take any action against you just because they misunderstood that you were my demon pet, so they regarded it as normal. But I'm saving you, not kidnapping, I can't really lock you around as a demon pet, right?"
The views of the people of the Shenzhou Continent on the demon clan are actually very simple. An ownerless monster is equivalent to a wolf, and a master is a dog.
Wolves and dogs are originally one kind of existence, but because they are artificially raised, wolves become dogs. In the streets and alleys, some people are wandering around with their dogs, and passers-by will not react much when they see that even if they don't like dogs, they will at most go around and will not react much. But if a wolf walks through the downtown area, the consequences can be imagined.
The same thing. If Hu Qingxuan is an ownerless demon, then he will not be allowed in the world, but if he is a demon pet, then there are no taboos. But the problem is that Tianyou saved Hu Qingxuan at the beginning was just a hand, in his opinion, this is a good deed, but if he thinks that Hu Qingxuan is his demon pet, it will become a robbery, and the nature is completely different.
Speaking of which, Tianyou's cognition of the demon pets around him was significantly different from the people of the Shenzhou Continent from the beginning. Moon Shadow and Mock Wind first met him in the form of eggs, and although they grew up very quickly, it seemed to Tianyou that they had adopted two orphans. As for the tiger girl, it was because she was greedy for the prosperity of the world and took the initiative to help. Although Tianyou has a bottom line, he is not pedantic, and he will not be rejected if he has such a strong combat force as a tiger girl.
In other words, in Tianyou's heart, he has never treated demon pets as pets or livestock, at most he regards them as children and subordinates. Even more often, they are still positioned more as companions or family members in Tianyou's heart.
Maybe it's because of this that he can have so many demon pets to follow. It is also because of this that he was able to establish a soul contract with the demon pet early. It's not that he's so talented that he can force a contract with a low level of cultivation, but because his demon pet never thought of rebelling against that contract.
Two people who don't want to be separated, even if they only use a piece of paper tape, can easily connect them, and two people who don't want to get close, if you tie them together with an iron cable, they will try their best to break the iron cable and escape.
Therefore, no matter how low Tianyou's cultivation is, the soul contract between him and the demon pet is indestructible. It's not that it can't be destroyed, it's that neither side wants to destroy.
In any case, Tianyou's attitude has become a magnet-like existence for the demon clan, because in his place, the demon clan can see respect, and following Tianyou does have all kinds of benefits. Not to mention anything else, at least it is a great benefit to be able to walk in the world openly. It is necessary to know that Hongchen trains the heart, and what the demon clan lacks most is the heart. After all, monsters are inherently weaker than humans in terms of mind, and even if they become demons, they are also shortcomings in this aspect. Not to mention the other benefits that can come with having a host. At the very least, when fighting against the Heavenly Tribulation, being able to help multiple foils is also a great advantage that wild monsters can't ask for.
Of course, the demon clan advocates freedom, and no monster will be willing to be a dog. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for other monks to want a demon pet, and they have to cultivate it from an early age or forcibly establish a soul contract to suppress the demon nature in the demon object in order to be able to imprison it by their side, but Tianyou only needs to be familiar with each other with the demon clan, after all, people accept slaves who are killed and killed, but he only collects buddies. Besides, even if it is a buddy, Tianyou is also the kind of patriarchal existence, which is naturally quite popular.
Tianyou may also vaguely know why he likes monsters so much, so he can't forcibly recruit demon pets. For Hu Qingxuan, asking her wishes is a checkpoint, and it is something that must be done. If it fails, then be a friend of the demon clan. If you succeed, you will strengthen your strength, in short, just go with the flow.
Listening to Tianyou's frank answer, Hu Qingxuan suddenly smiled. She smiled very gently, which was very different from usual, a little less gaudy and a little more warm.
"Don't you know?"
"What should I know?"
"I'm a vixen. ”
Tianyou blinked and looked at Hu Qingxuan, but he was thinking about the meaning of Hu Qingxuan's words repeatedly, but he couldn't understand it after thinking about it for a long time, and finally Hu Qingxuan himself explained the reason.
Just like the diverse personalities of people, the habits of monsters are also varied, and the characteristics of fox spirits are that they like to move and not like to be quiet, and they especially like the prosperity of the world. If a fox is allowed to practice in the mountains for a thousand years, it is simply a kind of torture. Therefore, although the fox clan has excellent qualifications and cultivates much faster than ordinary monsters, it is difficult for them to get ahead. It's all because of this character. I can't calm down in the mountains to cultivate, and if I am born, I will face all kinds of dangers, so there are very few people who can walk on the avenue in the end.
But even so, the character of the fox spirits still makes them one of the famous monsters that the people talk about, after all, this group is so fond of wandering in the world that it will inevitably leave many stories behind. In addition, the men and women incarnated by the fox clan are all in good shape, just like those idol stars on the earth, which are easy to attract attention, so their deeds will be widely circulated among the people.
Hearing what Hu Qingxuan meant, Tianyou will no longer be entangled in the future mode of getting along. Hu Qingxuan likes the prosperity of the world, God bless needs helpers, and the mutually beneficial relationship between everyone is naturally easy to stabilize and last.
After clarifying everyone's relationship with Hu Qingxuan, the three of them began to look for Hu Niu's whereabouts, but before they could find any clues, Hu Niu found them first.
"You're finally here. As soon as the tiger girl in human form saw everyone, she rushed over, and she was impatient to wait in this mountain. Originally, he devoted himself to Tianyou in order to be in the world above board, but she was sent back to Qingyuan Mountain after a few days, but she was in a hurry.
Tianyou smiled and wanted to appease the tiger girl, but she didn't expect this girl to come up with a warm bear hug, and she almost didn't break Tianyou. Fortunately, the tiger girl quickly put him down, raised her hand and went to hug the little sister again, Tianyou took the opportunity to quickly pull away from her, lest she be excited for a while.
Finally, when the tiger girl was excited, Tianyou found an opportunity to ask a few words about the situation on her side.
After the separation, the tiger girl ran back to Qingyuan Mountain with more than a hundred gold bricks, and there were patrolling teams along the way, but she was a tiger demon, and her ability to hide and hide was extremely strong, and the patrolling monks were bypassed by her. It can be said that it was quite smooth to return to Qingyuan Mountain.
Tianyou listened to Hu Niu's introduction to her situation, and briefly told her what happened to her people. Hu Niu is a violent temper, and she is so angry when she listens to what Xiao Bi and them do. It's a pity that people aren't here, and she can't find a place to vent her anger.
After chatting for a few more words, Tianyou began to ask about the situation of BRICS. They have been separated for so many days, and the tiger girl is not stupid, how can she carry it all the time? It was more than a hundred gold bricks, which together weighed six or seven tons. Even if the tiger girl moves with great strength, it is impossible to hang on her body all the time, right?
"I've hidden the bricks in a cave, I'm going to get them now. ”
"Let's go together, and then let's go to the royal city together to meet the others. By the way, by the way, I would like to introduce you to a companion. ”
With Tianyou's voice, a dark shadow suddenly separated from Tianyou's body, and then condensed into a peerless beauty standing beside him.
The surrounding demons looked at it and reacted differently. The tiger girl was curious, Qi Xiaomei didn't react much because she knew in advance, and Hu Qingxuan was the strangest, because she was busy comparing herself with the appearance of the black-clothed beauty in front of her.
"This is Moon Shadow, my symbiotic pet, some of you have already seen it, and some of you don't know it yet, so it's time to get acquainted with it. Ah yes, there's one more buddy here. Tianyou said and threw Duobao out again.
"Jubao Golden Toad?" Hu Qingxuan actually knew Duobao, or rather knew his race. "I thought that your race had long been extinct, but I didn't expect that there were still remnants left in the world. ”
Everyone or demons walked around Tianyou and chatted with each other about their own affairs, but they quickly became acquainted.
It's strange to say. In the case of wild encounters, most of the monsters will guard each other and weigh the strength of both sides, and the weaker ones will immediately turn around and run away, and if the difference in strength is not large, most of them will be careful to separate from each other. However, if it is a monster with a master, it is easy to mingle after meeting. This may be because the mind of a monster is much simpler than that of a human. In the wild, in order to survive, everyone has to be wary of all powerful existences. And once the Lord is recognized, there is no threat to each other, and it is easier for simple-minded monsters to become friends with each other, and they are much more sincere than humans.
The cave that the tiger girl found was not far away, and soon Tianyou and his party took the gold bricks and began to march out of the mountain. At the same time, there was a noisy and lively scene outside King Qin's city at this time.
The gate of the royal city was opened, and the king of Qin personally stood outside the city gate in a black tiger chariot dragged by eight war horses, accompanied by nearly 100 officials and a large number of soldiers and horses on both sides. Farther away, hundreds of people gathered on both sides of the road, their faces filled with excitement, excitement, and fanaticism, looking at the end of the road like the King of Qin. There, a blurry group of figures was becoming clearer.
Xiao Bihe rode on the tall spirit horse in high spirits, behind him was Wei Dahu, the helper he had recruited, and his henchmen arranged by his uncle, and behind him were a group of monks and soldiers whose clothes and armor were full of scars. These are obviously young monks who participated in the national sports mission, and if they can let King Qin go out of the city to greet him, it means that they must have made a miraculous achievement, otherwise there is absolutely no need for King Qin to come out to greet him in person.
In this way, the team of men and horses trotted all the way to a place a hundred steps away in front of King Qin's carriage, and then all dismounted and stopped. Xiao Bihe took Wei Dahu behind him and his entourage to step forward, saluted the King of Qin from afar through the guards of the Yulin Army, and then sang loudly: "Xiao Bihe, a monk under the eldest prince Yinghai, coerces his subordinates to salute the king." ”
King Qin, who was originally sitting on the carriage, stood up from his seat, stretched out his hand, and the Yulin Army in front of him immediately retreated to both sides with neat steps, making way for a passage. A chamberlain stepped forward and unfolded a volume of the list and began to read it aloud, the content was very long, but the meaning was very simple, and it was actually summed up in two sentences: "You have done well, this king knows." There will be a reward after that, and you have to keep up the good work. ”
After reading the holy decree, King Qin raised his hand again, and the interior immediately shouted: "Offer gold bricks." ”
Xiao Bihe turned around and took the two gold bricks from his personal hands, and then walked towards the frame of King Qin's car with both hands.
Of course, King Qin wouldn't go to pick up the gold bricks, he just stood in the car, looked down, and then nodded with a smile. Immediately next to him, Yu Linjun stepped forward carrying a tray, Xiao Bihe put the gold bricks on the tray, and then saluted King Qin again, and then turned around and walked back five steps away. Wei Dahu and the others who followed Xiao Bi and behind him also began to step forward one after another at this time, each holding one or two gold bricks in their hands, and then went to the King of Qin to salute and put the gold bricks in the tray. However, a tray can only hold a few gold bricks and have to be replaced, after all, the gold bricks are too heavy, and the guards of the Yulin Army can't lift them if they put too much.
The pallets filled with gold bricks were placed on the chariot of the King of Qin. This car is also specially made, the carrying capacity is amazing, and the eight war horses in front of it are all spirit horses, which is enough to pull tons of gold bricks.
King Qin stood on the car, watching the gold bricks under his feet pile up more and more, and his expression became more and more brilliant.
It is not that there have not been so many gold bricks in the history of the Qin State, but they are all the total achievements in the national sports mission, and they have only happened once or twice. However, this time, Xiao Bi and their team alone brought back 143 gold bricks, which was unprecedented, and it was no wonder that King Qin would go out of the city to greet them. If every national sports team can bring back more than 100 gold bricks in the future, he would rather come out to greet them every time. Even if it is in the wind and snow, I am happy.
The 143 gold bricks were quickly all offered, and this time the king of Qin himself spoke a word of encouragement, and then the convoy turned around and began to return to the royal city. Xiao Bi and their team followed King Qin's chariots and horses all the way, and they were all very proud.
Although for the sake of these gold bricks, they lost 83 young monks, more than 50 wounded, and more than 1,000 elite soldiers. But, in their opinion, it's all worth it. If people are gone, they can be reborn, and they will be made up in a few years. But the BRICS is a real credit, and they don't care about the benefits of the country and the people, and it is also a real benefit for themselves.
Looking at the welcoming people on both sides of the road, Xiao Bihe's head couldn't help but raise a little more. This high-spirited feeling simply made him feel cool to the bone. After all, no matter how good his family background is, ordinary people will respect him and fear him at most, and they will never welcome him so sincerely. Only now can he enjoy such a welcome.
Occasionally, in the crowd on the side of the road, he saw those who were the same as himself, and Xiao Bihe was even happier in his heart. People are still in the team, and they have already begun to plan to go back and call those fox friends and dog friends to celebrate, just to show off their great achievements.
However, when he was thinking about how to show off, Xiao Bihe shivered unexpectedly. Although he was a little embarrassed, Xiao Bihe was a monk after all, and he felt extremely spiritual. Looking at the coldness, I actually saw the five sisters of the Bai family standing on the second floor of the restaurant next to me. The cold feeling actually came from Bai Bingyu's eyes.
Among the younger generation of the powerful families of the Qin State, the prestige of the five sisters of the Bai family is the existence of sweeping the Eight Desolations and Liuhe. Not only because they have a father who is a king of ten thousand, but also because they themselves are five roses with thorns.
Although the folk customs of the Qin State are open, the young ladies of the big families still know the rules better, and they are all very ladylike. However, the five sisters of the Bai family have been in the military since they were children, and they are said to be girls, who are wilder than boys. And once one of these five sisters is bullied, the five of them will go together. As a result, almost one of the powerful children in this group of royal cities is counted as one, and they have all been beaten by these five little witches since they were children. As a result, when I grew up, I found that people's cultivation qualifications still crushed everyone, which made everyone lose their temper completely.
As soon as Xiao Bihe saw Bai Bingyu's expression just now, he subconsciously shrank his neck and wanted to dodge, but he quickly reacted again. Lao Tzu is injured in meritorious service, and he followed the king to cross the horse and parade the streets, no matter how powerful you are, how powerful can you be better than the king?
Thinking of the reward he might receive, Xiao Bihe immediately regained his complacency, and actually stared at Bai Bingyu and went back. However, Bai Bingyu didn't say anything, just sent Xiao Bihe out of sight with a cold gaze.
After the team marched outside the royal city, it divided into several groups, and the hundred officials followed the king into the palace city, while Xiao Bi and them dispersed. A feast will be held for them, but not now, but five days from now. At present, there are still 3 days before the end of the national sports mission, although there will basically be no major changes, but after all, the national sports mission is not completely over, and everyone does not dare to be distracted.
Xiao Bihe and the others, who came back early, had to maintain the safety of the royal city after a brief rest, and after King Qin's carriage entered the palace city, he was sent directly to the Taimiao. All the gold bricks had to be sealed and put into the treasury, and the king of Qin took the hundred officials into the main hall and began to discuss the issue of rewards.
As soon as King Qin sat down on the throne, an official below came out to report: "King, this time Xiao Bihe brought back 143 gold bricks, which is a great merit for several days, and he should be rewarded." ”
This person is a talker, and King Qin didn't talk in his seat. As the king of Qin, his responsibility is to make decisions, and the process of deliberation is the work of the ministers.
Sure enough, as soon as the conversation began, someone immediately came out to reunite. King Qin only nodded at this time and said: "This kind of merit should be rewarded, but it is only how to reward it, and please express your opinions." ”
King Qin is setting the tone, telling the ministers that there must be a reward, so you can give an opinion.
The officials below immediately understood when they heard this, but for a while, no one came out of the class to make a report, but only discussed with the people next to them in a whisper. King Qin didn't care about them, just sat on it and waited. Soon, the voice of deliberation gradually faded down, and an official came out to make a report. "King Qiqi. There are precedents for the reward and punishment methods in the national sports tasks in previous years, so it is better to keep it as usual?"
This person is also a petty official, and he is just starting at this time.
As soon as the man finished speaking, another man came out of the ranks. "King Qiqi, the minister feels that it is inappropriate. In previous years, the seals and deletions were all made according to ordinary merits, but this time, Xiao Bi and the people and horses he coerced sent back a huge amount of gold bricks, which is a monstrous achievement, how can it be determined according to the usual practice? Doesn't this chill the hearts of young talents?"
"What does Lord Chen mean?" The official who played the newspaper before looked at the person behind him and asked rhetorically, but King Qin sat upright and did not move. These two people are just the tongues sent by the two groups of forces, and every time there is a conflict of interests in the court, he has seen a lot of this meeting, and he is already familiar with the routine. Anyway, he just needs to watch them fight, and only after they have fought for their strengths and weaknesses will he need him, the king, to make the decision.
