Chapter 215: The Four Guards of the Gods (Part I)
Chen Sheng nodded and said, "I see." However, although the price is a little expensive, it can ensure the endurance of the machine, which is also worth the money. Hearing you say that, I'd like to open a gnaku, too. Brother Shui, how can I open it? β
Shui Chuanshi shrugged and said, "Actually, it's easy. After returning to the Divine Domain, you can go to the industrial zone to apply. However, Gnaku itself is also hierarchical. The most basic Gnarku only requires 500 Universal Points and 1 D-rank Elemental Gem. After that, the cost doubles for each upgrade. Generally speaking, the higher the level of the Gnaku, the larger the volume and the stronger the repair function. β
Chen Shengdao: "The recruitment price is the same as that of the servant. In this way, in fact, the machinery in Gnaku can also be regarded as an alternative servant. β
"Exactly. Chen Jun, you must know that not everyone has the opportunity to contact the characters of the task shijie, and then make the relationship good enough to recruit the other party as a servant. But as long as there are universal points and elemental gems, anyone can open a ganakul. Tools of war, such as helicopters and tanks, can directly increase their combat effectiveness after being bought, and they do not have to worry about the servants being injured or even killed in battle. For many members of the Divine Domain, it will be more convenient and practical than recruiting followers. β
Pu Guanshui interjected next to him: "That's a good point. Moreover, this is only a tool of war in reality. If you can enter some special shijie that is mainly enhanced by mechanical props, such as the shijie of "Mobile Suit Gundam", then how much can the combat power of us members of the god domain be increased by obtaining a Gundam or Zaku, I believe that I don't need to say more, everyone understands, right? β
Shui Chuanshi smiled bitterly: "The increase in combat power will be very large. However, in case it is damaged in battle, the cost of repairing it is ...... Hehe~ It's okay to say like my car. But mobile suits like Gundam aren't really rich people, so who can afford to play them. β
Chen Sheng smiled and said, "So it's better to be like Chen." Those who practice martial arts have a body like a treasure trove. All supernatural powers, all self-sufficient, do not ask for anything else. Cultivating to the extreme, how can those external objects be compared? β
Pu Guanshui smiled: "This is the difference in the path chosen by each other." In fact, no matter what road you take, you will get to Zuihou on the same path, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. It's up to us to keep it all in the matter. Brother Shui, you're right? β
The water pierced the stone haha smiled and nodded yes.
While speaking, the gate of Cheongju Castle has arrived. But I saw that the city gate was closed, and there were dozens of heavily armed ashigaru people on the wall, walking back and forth to patrol. The guards were heavily guarded and the atmosphere was tense. At first glance, seeing outsiders approaching, these dozens of ashigaru didn't see who it was, and they were already busy stretching their bows and arrows, and even took out their arquebuses to aim. The samurai at the head shouted, "Who? biedongγ Get any closer, and we're going to attack! β
Princess Ashi looked up, immediately recognized the appearance of the warrior, and shouted, "Brother Hengxing, it's me." I'm Ah Shi. β
The samurai at the head of the castle was none other than Ikeda Tsuneko. His mother was Oda Nobunaga's nurse, and later married Oda Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobuhide, as a concubine. Therefore, Ikeda Hengxing and Oda Nobunaga have been like brothers since childhood, and they are extremely trusted and reused. After Oda Nobunaga's biological brother Nobuyuki was killed in a rebellion two years ago, his wife was also remarried to Ikeda Tsuneko. That's why Princess Ashi also called him her brother.
When Ikeda heard Princess Ashi's call, he was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed. shouted: "Princess Ashi, have you come back safely?" Great, great. Ah, this is Mr. Chen, right? Unexpectedly, you really rescued Princess Ashi from the hands of the Thousand Demon Slayer King. Alas~ If we had known this, we should have left you behind. Right now...... Alas~"
However, after only saying two sentences, he sighed three times in a row. Ikeda Hengxing's demeanor is different, and it is very strange. Chen Sheng frowned and raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter, is something happening in the city?" β
Ikeda was about to speak, when he suddenly woke up and swallowed back the words that had already rushed to his throat. Qiang smiled: "No, it's nothing. Princess Ashi, you must be very happy to be able to come back. Come in, and I'll take you to the lord. Then he urged the ashigaru streak beside him: "Open the door." Hurry up and open the door to welcome Princess Ashi into the city. β
Moments later, the gates opened. Ikeda Hengxing came out and led Princess Aichi into the city. When the helicopter of the Desert Eagle Regiment fell the day before yesterday, Oda Nobunaga took people to check the movement, and Ikeda Hengxing was among them, so he recognized Chen Sheng. But Pu Guanshui, Su Ziling, Shui Chuanshi, Date Chenren, Bai Sunshine and other five people, he met for the first time, and he had to ask about the origin. Chen Sheng replied a few words at random according to the words he had discussed with Pu Guanshui before. Ikeda didn't dig deeper.
Seeing that Ikeda Hengxing was sullen, Princess Ashi couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Hengxing, why are you unhappy?" Isn't the war going well? "The reason why the Tenjin Sect took action to capture himself was because he was commissioned by Imagawa Yoshimoto. And the great prince, known as the "No. 1 strong bow in Tokaido", has already raised an army to the west and is about to attack the Oda family. In this section, Princess Ashi had already heard Su Ziling talk about it on the road.
"War?" Ikeda sighed, "How will this battle be fought?" There are 30,000 horses in Imagawa, and we are only 2,000, and we will lose if we fight or not, and there was news just now, I heard that the two cities of Marone and Washizu have been captured. The current Cheongju Castle is like a woman who has stripped naked...... Cough...... The princess forgives her sins, Hengxing is in a hurry, and her speech is not very elegant. β
Ah Shi's face was red, and he took a sip lightly, but his heart gradually sank, and he said secretly, is Owari really going to die? He asked again, "What did the eldest brother say?" β
Ikeda sighed, "My lord...... Alas~" stood still, turned around and said, "Mr. Chen, of course we are very grateful for your rescue of Princess Ashi." I'm sure you're tired too. Why don't I let someone take you to rest first? β
Pu Guanshui preemptively said: "Actually, we are not very tired, so we don't need to rest." Lord Oda once promised us to save Princess Aichi and give us the things that had been agreed upon in advance as reward. If we could, we would like to get our hands on something like this right away. β
Ikeda hesitated, "Well...... Originally, you deserved to be rewarded for such great achievements. But ...... "How to speak next" is suddenly difficult to put into words. It's just that what happened in the city is too serious for anyone else to know. Otherwise, the situation will be even worse, and the Oda family's already bad enough situation will inevitably become even worse, and it will really be over.
In this dilemma, all of a sudden, I heard a cough coming from the side. Everyone subconsciously followed the prestige, but saw a scribe wearing Tang costume and Hanfu standing at the corner of the corridor not far away. It was Oda Nobunaga's staff, the lord of the Nishijo Fire Department, who was not empty. He stepped closer and said lightly, "Oh, Princess Ashi is back." Being able to escape with her life under the hands of the Heavenly God Sect, the little princess is not a small blessing. After a pause, he wanted to "look" at where Chen Sheng was, and said, "Brother Chen, your ability is greater." It's a pity that it was used in the wrong place. β
Chen Sheng heard that there seemed to be something strange in the other party's words, and asked in a condensed voice, "What happened?" β
Ning Bukong sighed and said, "That's it." At this time, perhaps only Brother Chen is our only turning point. Brother Chen, you and Princess Ashi come with me. I'll take you to Lord Oda. However, the others bothered them to stay a little longer. β
Ikeda Hengxing was in a hurry and shouted, "Mr. Ning, you want outsiders to go to see the lord of the country?" Such...... Not right, right? β
Ning Bukong said lightly: "What is the responsibility, Ning Mou will bear it." I couldn't help but say, I turned around and walked away. Chen Sheng gestured to Pu Guanshui and motioned for him to wait here. Immediately set off with Princess Ashi to keep up. Ikeda Hengxing couldn't, so he sighed and led Pu Guanshui and the others to sit down in the next room, and sent someone to bring tea and snacks.
Although Ning Bukong was blind, he did not hesitate to turn around in the corridors of the city, so he walked very fast. Chen Sheng naturally wouldn't be thrown away, but Princess Ashi had to lift her skirt and trot to keep up. As she walked, she asked hesitantly, "Mr. Ning, Lu gradually he...... How's it going? Big brother didn't embarrass him, right? β
Ning Bukong slowed down and said lightly: "Princess Ashi don't worry." The person who killed you was the Heavenly God Sect, not my stupid nephew. This verse is clear to everyone. Lord Oda is so wise, how can he wronged a good person. But Princess Ashi, why do you want to have a private tryst with Ning's stupid nephew? Don't...... Do you really like him?
Princess Ashi's face was flushed, and she didn't know if it was caused by running in a hurry or because of shyness. She bowed her head and said, "What...... How can there be such a thing. Mr. Ning, please don't be cranky. β
Ning Bukong snorted coldly: "There is no best. Princess Ashi, after all, you are the younger sister of the lord of Oda, and you have a noble status. Ning's stupid nephew has a lowly status and no ability, how can he be worthy of you, princess? Reluctantly, it may not be a good thing for you, the princess, or Ning's stupid nephew. β
Although Princess Ashi likes Lu Yan, she also knows that the gap between their identities is too big. It is almost impossible for me to marry him. But it's one thing to know, and it's another thing to hear someone say it openly. In an instant, the little princess couldn't help but feel sad and stopped talking.
Ning Bukong has no time to pay attention to the little daughter's family. He led the two into the castle tower of Cheongju Castle. But I saw that the guards here were even more tight. Inside and out, almost all soldiers. Everyone has knives and guns in their hands, and their whole bodies are draped. Even if it is said that Imagawa Yoshimoto is about to call, after all, it is still far from Cheongju City. Isn't it too much of an exaggeration to have such a battle at this moment?
