Chapter 31: The Archmage's Choice (Follow-up!) )

Taisun Mansion, Stargazing Tower.

Zhu Xiongying sometimes looked at the stars in the sky, and sometimes bowed his head and drew something.

There are two drawings, one of which looks like a weapon drawing.

Its mechanical shape is stagnant, the head of the machine is sharp like the head of the gun, the end of the machine has several layers of multi-bladed appendages, which are dense and hard-formed, the longest of the appendages is 60 cm, the shortest is 25 cm, the rod is 5 meters long, and the head and rod are made of iron.

This thing is called the wolf whi, and it is a sharp weapon made by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in later generations.

In addition, Zhu Xiongying also drew a military formation map based on his memory.

A team of ten people, a team leader, a knife hand, a wolf hand, a pikeman, and a boring palladium hand.

Named, Mandarin Duck Array.

After doing this, Zhu Xiongying stood up and stretched a big lazy waist, and walked to the stargazing platform, where the night wind was howling.

I have to say that as soon as spring arrives, the weather immediately warms up.

At least you don't need to cover the quilt when exercising, covering the quilt really affects the performance.

The stargazing platform is a three-meter-square balcony that extends from the floor.

From here, you can overlook most of the Ming capital, the huge Yingtianfu Wanjia lights have been extinguished for most of the time, in this era, there are too few entertainment activities, and when it gets dark, there are basically only villains left.

And if you don't have an object, you can only.

"Huh?"

Zhu Xiongying looked at a place in the north of the inner city, and with a vague impression, that mansion should be the mansion of the Duke of Wei.

From the desk next to him, Zhu Xiongying picked up an inch-long round bamboo, which was Zhu Xiongying's self-made telescope, with a rough structure and a very limited viewing distance.

After all, there was no telescope in this era, and Zhu Xiongying was also idle and used a simple principle to make a backup.

With his left eye closed and his right eye resting on the bamboo tube, Zhu Xiongying saw the gate of the Duke of Wei's mansion, where a woman walked in the front, a woman followed by her side, and then three or four family members.

Don't sleep at night, leading the girl and the family around?

This is not like Xu Miaojin's style.

Women in the Ming Dynasty were still very conservative, especially the famous ladies, who usually did not go out of the door, let alone enter the night.

"Xiaobao."

A shout.

The eunuch Xiaobao, who was waiting at the top of the stairs, hurriedly ran out.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

"Find out what happened to the Duke of Wei today."

Zhu Xiongying put down the bamboo tube and added.

"Don't let anyone know."

Xiaobao nodded again and again.

After Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, he picked up the bamboo tube again and looked at it, Xu Miaojin had already entered the mansion and returned to the boudoir of the small courtyard, and he couldn't see it.

Then he didn't look at it, but continued to watch the stars seriously.

The main observation target is the north, and in addition to the Sirius, there are several stars that shimmer reddish, counting them, exactly nine.

Corresponding to today's northern 'Qin, Jin, Yan, Dai, Su, Liao, Qing, Ning, Gu' nine kings.

I have to say that the butterfly effect does change a lot of things, and Zhu Xiongying vaguely remembers that not all of the nine kings in the original historical trajectory want to compete for the emperor.

But now it seems that I am afraid that I have all moved that crooked mind.

Time, little by little, passes.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

When the fourth hour came, it was exactly four o'clock in the morning.

'Task 1: Completion'

'Mission 2: Beyond the Revenant, 24 hours limited'

'Task 2 Addendum: ......'

Cultivating immortals, cultivating merit is also one of them.

However, Zhu Xiongying was already sleepy with upper eyelids and lower eyelids fighting, for this task two, he didn't look carefully at all, and when he heard 'completed', he fell asleep directly.

Following.

The wind is high and crisp, and the sky is cloudless.

A tea pavilion ten miles outside Yingtian City.

Early in the morning, there were two people waiting in this tea pavilion, Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu.

A short time later, a group of soldiers came in a carriage.

"Stop."

When passing by the tea pavilion, Yang Rong's voice came from inside the carriage.

When he saw Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu who came to see him off, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly got out of the car and stepped forward to salute.

The three of them sat opposite each other in the tea pavilion, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Two years ago, the three of them entered the capital together, and two years later, they all had different identities and were about to enter the highlight moment of their lives.

"During the time I left Beijing, His Highness will have to trouble the two of you."

Yang Rong arched his hand towards the two.

He left Beijing and went to Shandong, of course, there was no way to approve the excerpts, so he could only rely on Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu.

"Mian Ren, I am a few years older than you, I have a few words to tell you, you are too radical, although there is an order from His Royal Highness, but after all, Shandong has the three envoys of Shandong in charge, after you go, you must pay tribute to the three envoys, especially the commanders of Shandong, if you want to use troops, you must not be able to bypass him."

Yang Shiqi said.

Yang Rong was silent for a moment and nodded solemnly.

After a cup of tea.

The three of them stood up and saluted.

"Take care."

Yang Rong turned around and wanted to go back to the carriage.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the three of them subconsciously looked over, only to see a mighty general galloping on a white horse, and the three of them were all stunned, they naturally knew the person who came, and the guard general Chang Tianci beside His Royal Highness Taisun.

They all looked upright and stood respectfully in place and waited.

"His Royal Highness the Taisun commanded."

Chang Tianci stopped and said loudly.

Yang Rong immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Two drawings of Gu Yuqing, I hope that Qing will make good use of them to destroy the thieves."

After Chang Tianci finished speaking, he took out two pairs of long wooden boxes from the horse bag and handed them to Yang Rong.

Yang Rong held it up with both hands and took it from Chang Tianci's hand.

But I have doubts in my heart, drawings?

What is it for?

Whatever, take it first.

"The ministers should pacify the Japanese and live up to His Highness's kindness!"

………………

Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple.

The Shangbao Division of Honglu Temple, the Jiaofang Division of the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of Guanglu Temple are all arranged in an orderly manner.

When everything is arranged.

When the auspicious time comes, the ceremonial department has drum music.

Lao Zhu was dressed in an imperial robe, and slowly walked out in the awe-inspiring gaze of the officials outside the hall and entered the Fengtian Palace.

All the officials hung their heads, and they didn't dare to look at the emperor.

But Zhu Xiongying, who was drooping because of serious lack of sleep, saw that something was wrong, Lao Zhu's left foot was obviously not smooth, and his left hand had always remained low.

Stroke.

The corner of Zhu Xiongying's eyes swept the crowd behind him, and the envoys of the kings, although they lowered their heads, their eyes were all staring at Lao Zhu's back, one by one thoughtfully.

Zhu Xiongying glanced at these people indifferently, then turned around and followed Lao Zhu into the hall.

Ah Biao was supposed to attend, but it is said that after seeing Zhu Xiongying yesterday, he vomited blood three times at night, and his body really did not allow it.

Then the clan king followed behind Zhu Xiongying, among which Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Yunwen's eyes fell on Zhu Xiongying's body, and they couldn't wait to knife Zhu Xiongying on the spot.

For these two people.

From beginning to end, Zhu Xiongying didn't take a look.

He still has nine mantras left, and it takes a minute for the werewolf to blow himself up.

Zhu Xiongying is just deciding, whether to lock up Zhu Shangbing and watch later, or simply kill him directly.
