Chapter 72: Uprising, Riot

Zhengde Street is far away from Professor Wang's house, and it will take more time to walk there. The point is not knowing what dangers you will encounter, and it is not worth wasting your energy while rushing.

Ms. Li returned to her carriage and lifted the seat under the carriage, under which was a football-sized instrument with antennas inserted into the semicircular casing, which Xiang Yong felt resembled a primitive radio.

She fiddled with the instrument for a while, and soon a low, distorted man's voice came from the instrument: "This is the switchboard of the Nanjing City Police Headquarters. The caller is asked to identify themselves immediately. ”

"I'm Senior Inspector Li Xiumei. ”

"Hello. Which extension do you need me to transfer to?"

"No need to transfer, you can help me inform the logistics office and send a medium-sized carriage to Professor Wang Jianlong's house. ”

"Roger. Let's get started. ”

"End of this call. ”

Li Xiumei stuffed the intercom device back under her seat: "Now let's wait." ”

Fan Xiaoyue and the others were full of curiosity about this original telephone and wanted to take a few more looks, but they didn't have the chance.

Xiang Yong and Li Xiumei chatted. "How's the steam cart going?"

"You Jianghu people are also interested in this?" Li Xiumei was a little surprised.

"It's just that I'm more interested in it. ”

Li Xiumei thought for a while and sorted out the wording: "That's it, it's slow, the battery life is poor, and the noise is very loud." I heard that some people are developing small vehicles powered by magic crystals, but magic crystals are important strategic resources, and this kind of transportation is destined to be impossible to achieve civilian use, only military, and at most government procurement of a batch. ”

Hearing the word "magic crystal", Xiang Yong took a deep breath.

He had been to many worlds in his previous life, and he knew that some worlds just called the spirit stone "magic crystal", because the spirit stone was indeed a powerful, versatile, and magical crystal.

He looked down at Li Xiumei's thin waist, and the two short-barreled muskets on her waist were still quite beautiful. He asked tentatively, "Then has anyone ever thought of inventing a magic crystal firearm?"

Li Xiumei burst out laughing: "It seems that you have really been practicing hard in the deep mountains and old forests for too long. The magic crystal rifle has been on the market for a long time, and a few years ago, there was a grandmaster, 'Immovable King Kong' Lei Yang, who died from a platoon of guns. ”

Xiang Yong pretended to be shocked and incredulous, "Fudo King Kong? I've heard of this senior. ”

"He is a master of the upper generation who is as famous as your master, 'Venerable Beihe'," Li Xiumei said lightly, "Ignoring the laws of the empire, setting up a private torture hall, disregarding human life, and having blood on his hands." The Empire sent a mobile team to capture him, but he dared to resist stubbornly, so he was shot dead by a platoon. ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Xiang Yong deeply: "I hope you understand that the times have changed, and the rule of law, peace, and development are the themes of today's society. I don't want to sign the order to shoot you with my own hands one day. ”

Xiang Yong smiled slightly: "As soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, you can't help yourself." ”

Li Xiumei repeated this sentence, her eyes dimmed, and a faint wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

About thirty minutes later, an elongated carriage slowly drove in, about the same width as Li Xiumei's carriage, but more than twice as long.

Xiang Yong and others boarded the bus, and there were two rows of seats placed opposite each other, and each row of seats could accommodate 4 or 5 people.

Li Xiumei said a few words to her coachman with two beautiful beards, and followed into the carriage.

She naturally sat on the same side as Xiang Yong, and seeing this, Fan Xiaoyue and the others consciously sat on the other side.

The carriage started and slowly accelerated, and Li Xiumei began to check her weapon, trying to pull out the scimitar to see if it was easy, removing and disassembling the musket, and checking the lead bullet and gunpowder.

If it were an ordinary person who used a musket against the Tsukiji monks, it would be almost impossible to succeed.

Because the reaction speed is not so fast.

By the time you're finally on target, the Tsukiji Monk will already be rushing in front of you to deliver the fatal blow.

However, if it is in the hands of a monk above the late stage of the opening of the vein, the musket can still play some role, and the monk of the late stage of the opening of the pulse can barely keep up with the movements of the foundation building monk.

But at most, it can deal with the monks of the Great Perfection of the Foundation, and when they meet the monks of the Warm Cultivation Realm, unless they play with a row of guns and shoot them, it is difficult for the firearms to play any role.

"Do you want this?" Li Xiumei carried two short-barreled muskets, and she handed one over.

Xiang Yong smiled and refused: "I believe in my sword more." ”

"Jianghu people," Li Xiumei muttered, "You can't keep up with the times, and sooner or later you will be eliminated." ”

"Forgive me for taking the liberty," Xiang Yong's eyes narrowed slightly, "You have always expressed your dissatisfaction with the Jianghu people. But what I feel is, in fact, you also admire and even envy the Jianghu people in your heart? Do you think that the Jianghu people are free, free, and uninhibited, and this kind of life has a fatal attraction to you who have followed the rules since childhood?"

"No, don't talk nonsense, I didn't!" Li Xiumei's body stiffened for a moment, and then vehemently denied Sanlian.

Xiang Yong smiled and didn't speak again. He has confirmed his feelings, and this is enough, there is no need to get to the bottom of this person who met in Pingshui.

After a while, Li Xiumei's mood eased up, and her action of checking weapons and equipment also stopped.

The carriage was relatively dull, and Xiang Yong knew very well that Fan Xiaoyue and the others were waiting to see their jokes, and they thought that they would be entangled with this beautiful female policeman.

They don't understand the mentality of a monk who has been to the realm of saints.

"I heard that there were uprisings in Ibaraki and Van Castle?" Xiang Yong said suddenly.

"You're wrong, it's not an uprising, it's a riot," Li Xiumei glanced at Xiang Yong vigilantly, and said deliberately lightly, "It's just a disease of scabies, not enough to worry about." A farce created by a few people in the countryside, the empire was soon able to put down the riot. ”

Xiang Yong glanced at Li Xiumei deeply, and a faint smile appeared.

Li Xiumei wasn't sure what Xiang Yong's smile meant, so she didn't continue.

Xiang Yong also quickly changed the topic.

The revolt certainly failed to overthrow the empire.

Because the Dashun Empire can still enjoy more than a thousand years of national glory.

It wasn't until the next revival of the aura that the agents supported by the Heavenly Sect replaced the disobedient royal family of the Dashun Empire, ruled the world, and began to explore the surrounding star fields, expanding the territory of the new empire to millions of star systems in just two thousand years.

Even so, the new empire is a drop in the ocean compared to the river systems with hundreds of billions of star systems.

Due to the distance between the world and the front lines of the eternal war, this river system became an important logistics base and was overexploited.

One by one, the stars were refined into secondary immortal weapons and quasi-immortal weapons, and batches of golden pills and divine spirit cultivators that were spawned were sent to the frontline battlefield as cannon fodder, and even the Void Immortal Master and the Saints of the Hedao Realm were reduced to high-level cannon fodder, fighting and dying on the front line.

3,000 years later, Xiang Yong, as a monk of the Earth Cultivation Civilization who was forcibly recruited by Zhu Tianzong, came to the Xuanyu World to meet with the monks here and prepare to go to the front line together, and by chance discovered the cave of the predecessor of the Merge Dao Realm, and experienced an exploration with plenty of oil and water.
