Chapter 584: Kunlun (II)
Compared with Chen Ao's dullness, Cao Yi was very excited. He took Chen Ao up the stone steps of the mountain road, pointing out the scenery everywhere as he went, and introduced it to Chen Ao.
He stepped on the stone steps under his feet and said, "This was originally a barren mountain. I built every step of the way!"
He pointed to the huge tower in front of him, and a sharp metal column was erected on the top of the tower, like a lightning rod, and said, "That is the lightning channeling device." Sang Lun has already calculated that there will be thunder in the next few days. Then our plan will be done!"
"It's your plan, not mine!" Chen Ao said coldly.
Cao Yi smiled and said, "Chen Ao, don't tell me, you don't want to go back." Hmph, what's so good here? Even if I do it and get the emperor's favor, what can I do? There is no red wine and champagne, no yachts and luxury cars, and even beef is not very good. Do you think you can live like this?"
Chen Ao said coldly: "For people like you who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, of course you can't get by." ”
Cao Yi smiled: "Yes, you are right. Life is too short, why don't you enjoy it? Chen Ao, I'll tell you, I'm just here to go back and enjoy it. I've checked the map, and it's off the beaten track in the heart of the Kunlun Mountains. Even in the next thousand years, no one will come. I hid my treasure here, and as soon as I came back to the future, I would be a billionaire immediately. When the time comes, I won't have to mix in the underworld anymore. Hahaha......"
Cao Yi began to depict a better life in the future, but Chen Ao was a little dismissive. He didn't believe that with those two magic sticks, he could do things that modern science couldn't.
Cao Yi looked at his expression and said with a smile: "Don't believe it. After this trip, I can be regarded as having a long experience. Ancient people are not necessarily as smart as modern people. Look at the pyramids of ancient Egypt, how many secrets in them can't be explained by modern people? So, it's not a strange thing that these two wise men can travel through time and space now!"
Chen Ao snorted coldly, just thinking about how to rescue Liang Xiaoya and Yun Lu in his heart, and no longer paid attention to Cao Yi's self-congratulation. Walking to the top of the mountain, I saw that this place had been carved out into a huge construction site. The entire summit of the hill was flattened to become a huge square.
There are several large stone houses in the square, which appear to have been inhabited by craftsmen and guards. In the middle of the square stands the huge tower, towering into the sky. There are also some useless stones piled up in the corner. Chen Ao finally knew why Cao Yi wanted to do everything possible to curry favor with Zhao Heng in the first place. If it weren't for the emperor's support, no one would have the financial resources to build it! That is, after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, Cao Yi, as a key figure in the peace talks, was stained with Chen Ao's light and won Zhao Heng's trust, and only then was he able to start this huge project.
Cao Yi sighed and said, "Chen Ao, if you hadn't facilitated the Yuanyuan Alliance, this feat would not have been able to succeed so quickly. So, I want to thank you!"
Chen Ao snorted coldly and said, "You want to kill me in Persia and arrest my wife, that's how you thank you?"
Cao Yi was not angry, waved his hand at his hand, and said, "Dinner will be good for a while." Your ladies and subordinates are also tired from the journey, so it is better to go and rest first. I have prepared the room for them. ”
Chen Ao raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Cao Yi, what the hell are you going to do?"
Cao Yi smiled: "Don't be so nervous. As long as you, the ladies with strong martial arts, don't act rashly, I naturally won't embarrass them. ”
Chen Ao gritted his teeth, watching Zhao Ling and the others being "invited" to the stone house on the side by those who were carrying crossbows, and the hatred for Cao Yi in his heart was even stronger.
Cao Yi didn't notice anything, and said to Chen Ao with a smile: "I'll show you my feats!"
As he spoke, he led Chen Ao towards the tower. Chen Ao was also very curious about it, and followed him into the tower and followed the stairs to the top of the tower.
Samlun and Habal also took a few people to work inside, and they didn't lift their heads. Chen Ao saw that the lightning pillar outside extended from the top of the tower to here. After a pile of twisted copper pipes, it was linked to two iron chairs.
Chen Ao was dumbfounded and exclaimed, "Cao Yi, you don't want Lei to chop you to death, do you?"
Cao Yi smiled: "Don't worry. The two wise men have tried it many times, and it is absolutely safe. I can't say some of the ways in this, but I can do it anyway!"
Chen Ao knew that Cao Yi had no culture and was deeply suspicious of this matter. Cao Yi took Chen Ao to the window, looking down on the entire mountaintop, and suddenly had a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance. At this time, night is approaching, standing on the top of the tower, I can't help but feel a little desolate.
Chen Ao casually lifted a torch on the wall and drew a few circles in front of the window. Cao Yi only thought that he wanted to see the scenery clearly by light, and he didn't care.
He pointed to the mountains and said, "Chen Ao, in fact, I don't have any hatred for you anymore. Although this experience is really a little weird, it is not in vain. ”
Chen Ao was silent. He was at first resentful of this wonderful journey, but now he had no resentment. Not only because of the fact that he gained a financial status here, but also because he met many friends and life partners. Now it seems that his life is very complete.
Cao Yi said again: "Do you know why I prepared two chairs? I just want you to go back with me." This wonderful story started with the two of us, and it should end with the two of us. Chen Ao, don't you still miss those girls? Let me tell you, as long as you have money, what kind of women can't be found? Hey, what kind of people are you looking for? Xuanning, Liang Xiaoya, Xiao Shuixian, a group of country girls. Zhao Ling, Long Qingping, some rivers and lakes are reckless. The only normal Yunlu was born in Qinglou and was favored by the emperor. Hehe, don't worry, when we go back, I'll definitely share a little of those treasures with you. Where there is no grass at the end of the world, men should be more free and easy!"
Chen Ao still didn't speak. He is essentially a person who values affection and righteousness, how can he be so "free and easy" as Cao Yi?
Chen Ao's interest was not high, which made Cao Yi feel very bored. After staying for a while, the two went down the tower. Cao Yi really didn't break his promise, and when he was picking up the wind and washing the dust for Chen Ao, Fang Yunlu and Liang Xiaoya met with him. In this way, the family was finally reunited, although all this was under the watchful eye of the crossbow-wielding guards.
After dinner, Cao Yi personally led Chen Ao's family to the stone house where they lived. Chen Ao walked at the end, and Cao Yi smiled: "Here, no one will come to disturb you." Take care of it, there's not much time left. Haha......"
Chen Ao said in a deep voice: "Cao Yi, what if I don't want to go back?"
Cao Yi's face sank, his eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he said, "Hey, Chen Ao, why should you and I be patient with you?" Hmph, the two wise men said that since we came together, we must also go together. Otherwise, errors and accidents will inevitably occur. So, you'd better be honest with me. Otherwise, I won't be able to leave, and you and your wives won't want to live!"
