Chapter 123: The Giant's Plain
Summer in the Giant's Plains is neither too hot nor too humid, making it an extremely pleasant place to live. After the arrival of Ba Niu, it became a fertile field, and more than 90% of the land was developed and planted with crops. It's the season for growing grains, and the green fields look very pleasant. However, it would soon become a battlefield, with 600,000 troops encamped less than forty miles away, and a great war was imminent.
Unlike the tension here, the rear of the Kangle people is still a peaceful scene. The war is far away from the people here, and it is only when there are soldiers who have participated in the war at home that they feel its existence even more. However, this is still the hottest topic right now.
"The people of the Akiyama Peninsula have no way out, and it is said that they have been surrounded to a place called Mt. Yama." A man said in the tavern.
This kind of topic has never been cold, and as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately continued: "It's not a mountain, but Tianzhu Peak, Chang Peak Peak, and a few other peaks called." It is said to be on top of five mountain peaks. As far as I know, it's not that they retreated there after the defeat, as if they were there at the beginning, trying to hold on and dragging us to death in this way."
"Then they are delusional", and immediately another person continued: "Our army, although it cannot be said that it is invincible in the world, but it is more than enough to deal with these rogues, and the latest news I have received is that they have wandered to a plain."
"Giant Plains," said another person who thought he knew a lot, "that plain is said to have been developed by the original Giants, and then deserted. Now the man named Li Jiuyuan has developed him from the beginning."
Once someone starts this kind of topic, it will develop in the direction of absurdity, they talk about the three emperors and the five emperors to the civil and military Chengkang, from the civil and military Chengkang to the Qin Emperor and the Han Wu, in short, all irrelevant things have been discussed lively, and the final conclusion is nothing more than how they will finally win, what is the final result of the enemy, etc.
The people of Kangle care about the war, but they are just a drop in the water, but the people in the other two aspects are really concerned. One is Lu Xinghe, who is now stationed at the highest peak of the Kangle Dynasty. Another person who cares is the great monk.
"What's the actual situation"? He turned his back to the visitor, looked at the Buddha statue, and asked expressionlessly. No one could see his expression at the moment, and no one could guess the change in his heart.
"Li Jiuyuan is likely to have a decisive battle with Chu Yuxing in the Giant Plain." The person who came was also masked in black veil, but it sounded like a woman's voice.
"So he has the confidence to win"? He knows better than anyone about Ba Niu, and he will never take risks easily without absolute certainty.
The masked man did not answer, she could not answer, and she could not answer, but the great monk answered himself: "Of course he has the confidence of victory, otherwise, how could he swim from the most advantageous place to the most unfavorable place for himself"?
The masked man still hadn't spoken, and she just had to listen now. The Great Monk pondered for a moment before continuing, "Our plan still has to be carried out. Even if Li Jiuyuan wins, it will still be carried out."
The masked man looked at him in surprise, and although he still didn't speak, the doubts were already obvious. She couldn't believe that this person could be cruel to such an extent. But what happened next made him completely convinced.
"Destroy with all men." He let out a long sigh and said meaningfully, "For us, these people don't matter anymore." The masked man hesitated for a long time before saying yes, she wanted to ask some more questions, but finally didn't.
After this person retreated, the great monk sat on the futon again, facing the majestic Buddha, as if he was repenting and provoking. And when the news of the masked man reached Shi Haotian, he was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "I am from Dongduo, and the great monk is also from Dongduo. The original reason for the cooperation between the two of us was also for this. He wants to destroy the people of Kangle now, of course I will not object, but it is absolutely impossible to sacrifice the only hope of the Dondorians while destroying the people of Kangle. So, his opinion, I choose not to obey".
The masked man was also silent for a long time, and then said, "Maybe he thinks he is the hope of the Dondorites, so he doesn't hesitate to destroy what we think is hope." In your opinion, which one are we trying to keep?"
"I only believe in Li Jiuyuan"! Shi Haotian said categorically: "As for the great monk, his ideal ingredients are far higher than reality. In reality, his conjectures are basically difficult to realize. The most important point is that Li Jiuyuan already has his own sphere of influence, although he is still only huddled in the Akiyama Peninsula, but compared to the great monks who rely entirely on imagination, they are still more trustworthy."
"You mean, keep the status quo"? Although the masked man spoke with doubts in her tone, there was no doubt in her heart at all. She also agreed with Shi Haotian's approach, for them, it was too cruel to use the ultimate weapon to destroy the Autumn Mountain Peninsula.
"But now, I'm afraid I can't help you"! Behind them was Shu Weitong. He was an engineer hired by the Recreation People to be responsible for the construction of the entire launch platform. At the same time, he is also the most important member of the secret organization of the Great Monk. Before that, he had never disclosed his identity, so Shangshi Haotian and the others had not guarded against him. But now that he has stood up, the meaning is naturally completely different.
"You mean, it's up to you now"? Although Shi Haotian is nearly 100 years old, his thinking is extremely sharp. As soon as Shu Mo appeared, he immediately understood his intentions. But he had long expected that the great monk would have a backhand, so he also kept a backhand for himself.
"The last link of the launch platform is not yet complete, and we must do this link well before it is possible to launch the ultimate weapon." Shi Haotian continued.
"So you have to get this done first." Shu Motong stared at Shi Haotian deadly, and said with a threatening voice: "Now only, know the method of this completion."
"What if I don't want to"? Shi Haotian has lived long enough and is not worried about death threats. However, the great monk seems to have anticipated this a long time ago. Shu Motong smiled slightly, slowly handed a drawing in front of him, and said sarcastically: "Then, we only have to finish it ourselves."
Shi Haotian took the drawing, glanced at it hastily, and couldn't help but be surprised: what was drawn on the drawing was this final step, which was almost exactly the same. The most important thing is that the signature at the bottom is Li Youlan, the signature of the great monk. He had already guessed the final steps from the progress of the project, and it had to be said that he was indeed a genius, a cruel and ruthless genius.
Faced with this situation, Shi Haotian also had to give in. He let out a long sigh, and then said, "It seems that your master is only using me to build him a foundation, but I mistakenly think that he wants me to build him a tall building. But since that's already the case, then I'll do the rest. The old man is 100 years old, and it can be regarded as a blessing to be able to do such a super project. Since it started with me, let me finish it"! He handed Shu Motong another drawing, which was more detailed and different from the one of the great monks.
After Shu Motong took the drawings, he was overjoyed. He immediately respectfully apologized to Shi Haotian: "The master has to do this for the sake of righteousness, and I hope that the old man Haihan will do it."
Shi Haotian smiled and waved his hand: "Your righteousness has no meaning to me, but if he can really revitalize Dong Duo, it can be regarded as my hard work has not been in vain." After all, we are all Dongduo people, and there are not many Dongduo people now."
Although Shu Motong heard his voice, he just smiled, and then retired, for him, the next few months are the most critical moment.
"Is there no room for salvation anymore"? The masked man said with a sad look on his face and a trembling tone.
"That's all we can do, and the rest is left to fate"! Shi Haotian shook his head helplessly, for him, this result was more painful than anyone else, and he was more entangled than anyone else.
