I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

Xiang Liang reported the results of their reconnaissance.To put it simply, using drones for intelligence collection in this era is simply reducing dimensionality to the point where it is purely disrespectful of martial arts - there is no need for the operator to conduct secondary identification, and the artificial intelligence on board the drone only scans once , easily pierced through the enemy's pitiful concealment facilities, and even judged the opponent's basic attack intention.

"The signs are very clear." Xiang Liangliang showed the high-definition photo sent by the drone, and pointed to the ferry boat covered by weeds on the bank: "The other party is preparing to forcibly cross the river, and a large number of boats have been recruited for this. In addition, the scanning equipment also found residues of kerosene and candles on the grass. If analyzed reasonably, it should be preparing for a night battle—taking advantage of the cover of night, quickly crossing the river to attack the occupied point, a typical assault tactic.”

Mu Chen nodded.He didn't know anything about it, and of course he could only trust the opinions of professionals completely.He thought for a while, and only asked one question:

"Can you confirm the enemy general?"

"Not for the time being." Xiang Liang shook his head: "The drone has tried laser eavesdropping, but the opponent's outpost scouts are quite cautious and have not collected any useful information. However, judging from the speed of mobilization and the order of the march, this is a A fairly elite ancient army."

Wang Zhi who was standing on the side nodded slightly, indicating that this judgment has been professionally certified.

Mu Chen pondered for a moment, and finally smiled.

"But it doesn't matter, does it?" He said calmly: "No matter who the opponent is, our mission is completely certain - we must quickly, accurately and completely eliminate the threat, guarantee our hard-won peace, and obtain it An easy order."

After expressing his attitude, Mu Chen slowly straightened his back, and made the final decision word by word:

"—Then, let's do it! Destroy them and win the victory for Jiangling City!"

Xiang Liang put his feet together and gave a very standard military salute:

"Yes!"

·

Although the opening ceremony was decent, but when it came time to actually do it, it returned to the true nature of the grass-roots team of the Crossing Group - the whole command process did not have the nervous excitement that Mu Chen imagined. In fact, everyone After dinner, clean up the dining table and bring in two laptops to establish a battlefield headquarters.

—Of course, this approach is absolutely reasonable.After all, it is impossible to engage in any head-on confrontation with their numbers, so the idea of ​​the whole war is to rely on the decapitation tactics of drones and precision-guided weapons.The operation of this kind of equipment has been completely electronic. Two laptops plus a signal strengthening base station can fully meet the needs... Anyway, it has not been operated on the mobile phone yet!

Even so, Mu Chen stared at the undulating black background on the screen, still feeling a little disillusioned.

Everyone watched the screen for twenty minutes, and finally there was movement in the dark background shrouded in night—the infrared detection bar on the screen jumped suddenly, showing that a large number of heat sources were gathering towards the ferry on the north bank.

Xiang Liang glanced at the data and quickly made a judgment: "The number of people is more than [-], and they also carry a lot of metal... It seems that this is the vanguard force - adjust the shooting position of the drone, and I will see the situation."

Commands spread across the radio at the speed of light.Only a few seconds later, the dark drone hovering over the north bank quietly turned and flew towards the direction where the heat source was most concentrated.In the gentle sound of the engine like a breeze, its smooth belly protrudes slowly, and a small cylinder sticks out-this is a special high-definition night vision lens for military use, which is enough to explore all the details in dark light.

Under such details, the concealment of the ancient army is too ridiculous... The drone flew past the prostrate sentries in the grass, and hovered on a towering willow tree with branches and leaves fluttering.Several people were standing or sitting under the willow tree, surrounded by dozens of guards.It is difficult to distinguish the details under the cover of leaves, but the armor on his body is shining, which directly reveals his identity.

"Senior officers." Wang Zhi whispered: "Judging from the size and formation of the army, these people are likely to be the chief generals."

"...very good." Nodding to the bright spot, his expression was rare and dignified - they have repeatedly deduced this morning, and this wave is regarded as the biggest uncertainty point in the whole process: "Descent the height, increase the resolution, confirm the details .”

Duan Ke tapped the keyboard, and after a light beep, the image on the screen quickly enlarged, locking on several senior generals under the willow tree.Under the dual effects of the auxiliary lens and the AI ​​​​image enhancement algorithm, they have been able to fully identify the most subtle traces - from the armor pattern, the shape of the weapon, and...

"...Hey." Liu Heng hissed lightly: "The man in the lead - he is quite handsome."

What he said was too euphemistic.Among the crowd, a tall and straight young general was faintly occupying the dominant position. He happened to look up just now, revealing that face with sword eyebrows, starry eyes and deep contours.The drone's high-definition camera took pictures of every inch of detail, but under such an all-round sweep with no dead ends, the boy is still so graceful and flawless, it looks like a high-P video after a beautification .

Mu Chen was silent for a while, and finally snorted: "So what about being handsome? What does being handsome mean?"

Even so, he knew it clearly in his heart: with the systematic urgency, he would never waste such a ridiculously perfect face on a passer-by.Judging from the various details tonight, [-]% of this is the original hero who is sick and protective of the dark wind as predicted by the system.

——Before the crossing, the rules of the system have been set: unless Mu Chen is in great danger, he will be punished if he kills the male protagonist and supporting actor at will...

Muchen's heart lingered with anger, but after much deliberation, he still couldn't break the rules:

"—Continue to confirm. Prepare the missile first. If it is not the male lead, we will launch it directly and blow him up..."

Duan Ke nodded, raised his hand and turned on the drone's eavesdropping unit.

The drone thousands of meters away quickly executed the order—the interface placed at the tail of the aircraft slowly popped out, projecting an invisible high-frequency laser beam.This laser beam was reflected by the general's smooth armor, and at the same time, what it brought back was the frequency of sound waves vibrating the metal.These frequencies are enhanced by AI filtering, translating into an extremely clear sound.

But the eavesdropping did not yield any intelligence: these senior military officers seemed to be arguing about the arrangements for crossing the river, but there was only one topic in the quarrel.The young general at the head insisted on taking the lead and leading the vanguard to cross the river, but the veterans beside him were trying to persuade him, trying to suppress the restlessness of the general.

Xiang Liang clicked his tongue and said thoughtfully, "This kid is quite courageous."

Mu Chen frowned: "What?"

"Sneak attack by elite soldiers is a one-shot deal. The morale of the soldiers is the key." Xiang Liang's tone was a little appreciative: "The lord will go out in person, which is the most inspiring. But the vanguard crossing the river is indeed dangerous. , this kid is only sixteen or seventeen years old, it is quite rare to have such courage."

Mu Chen snorted, but didn't speak.Since he dealt with the system, this artificial intelligence is cheap, but it is indeed open and frank without telling a lie.Whether it is Yi Cheng or the highly suspicious male protagonist on the screen, there are indeed shadows of the so-called "famous generals" and "war gods".

But after realizing this, he became even more depressed.

The on-screen feud continued.But the young general obviously has made up his mind and cannot be shaken.Finally, a brawny man in the crowd got excited after arguing, stepped forward suddenly, and blurted out:

"My son! The son of a thousand gold still can't sit in the hall, how can the son's precious body-"

Before he could finish his sentence, the crown prince raised his hand and whipped the whip, causing the strong man to stagger: "There is only the chief general in the army, so where is the crown prince? Are you taking my words as a deaf ear?"

The strong man's words were cut off at the middle, but the information revealed was completely enough - in the outline of the system, the sick and delicate male protagonist Gao Duo who used soldiers like a god was the heir of King Qi of the Northern Dynasty!

There was a moment of silence at the dining table, and everyone turned their heads to look at Mu Chen.Mu Chen hesitated for a moment, finally sighed, and made the final decision:

"... Cancel the missile/bomb and implement Plan B instead."

For some reason, there seemed to be a hint of regret in his tone.

·

Gao Duo, who was on the north bank, was so angry that he raised his horsewhip and whipped his servants screaming. He didn't know that his life was in danger because of the servant's slip of the tongue... He whipped a few times fiercely, and it was easy. After venting the anger of being repeatedly hindered by his father's subordinates, he let go of the whip and let out a little breath.Gao Duo looked around, and was about to forcefully issue an order relying on the authority of the general, when he suddenly frowned his thick black eyebrows.

"what sound?"

The guards next to him were terrified, they turned around and surrounded the prince.However, when everyone looked around, they could only see the gentle night wind around them, without any abnormality.

But Gao Duo's eyebrows frowned even tighter.

"It's not here...not on the ground." He said slowly, "Is it in—the sky?"

Everyone looked up one after another, but there were only willow leaves above their heads, their branches fluttering in the wind.

Gao Duo also looked up.He found nothing but willow leaves and Night Breeze, but the tiny buzzing sound in his ears became more and more clear... He listened carefully for a while, but he still couldn't tell where it came from.A year ago, his father had given him an extremely handsome Haidongqing. When it flapped its wings, its sound was similar to this difference, but it never had such a smooth, monotonous, and weird frequency.

Gao Duo pondered for a moment, and was about to ask a bodyguard to go up the tree to investigate.However, just as he opened his mouth, he smelled a fresh, soft, extremely sweet scent.

This taste was so refreshing that Gao Duo felt so enlightened and refreshed, he couldn't help taking a few more deep breaths.The fragrance disappeared in an instant, Gao Duo was happy and light, and suddenly remembered a small thing:

...how come there is a fragrance here?

—that was the last thought that passed through his still sober mind.

There was a burst of cheers from the long table in the restaurant, and the onlookers were all smiling, and some even raised their Coke cans—the whole war was rehearsed earlier, and how to capture the male protagonist alive was the most troublesome part.Although they have obtained the most effective powerful anesthetic in modern times, it is still difficult to avoid accidents in practice.Now that it can be won so smoothly in one go, most of the goals of this operation have been completed.

"—can't relax yet, can't relax yet!" Xiang Liang clapped his hands to attract attention: "Now we have to clean up the remaining soldiers and try to deal with the enemy's vital forces—"

He clicked to enlarge the screen.Judging from the video, the army led by the hero Gao Duo is indeed elite.After a very short period of panic, the surrounding sentries had already reacted, quickly got up and pulled out their weapons, and rushed towards the unconscious general under the willow tree—then looked around for a moment under the tree, and immediately fell limply to the ground.The special anesthetic was so potent that even if it was diluted dozens of times by Night Breeze, it could overwhelm a hippopotamus in half a minute.

Seeing that several fell down inexplicably in front of them, the sentinel who rushed from behind finally hesitated, slowed down and drew his sword to look around.But looking around, there is only a dark night, and there is no trace of attack.When he was hesitating and hesitating, he only heard crackling and explosions from above, and countless fire rains fell like meteors!

These battle-tested veterans had no time to react—at first they thought it was the rockets fired by the ambush soldiers, but soon the screams and the explosion rang out together—the people who rushed to the front suddenly stopped, and then seemed to be The fallen wheat fell to the ground.To be more precise, only part of their bodies fell to the ground, and some unreliable parts of their bodies had already swirled out with the rain of fire, splashing blood rain all over the sky.

This army is the elite selected by King Qi for Aizi, and everyone in the army is armed with armor.But these pre-industrial metal objects are no stronger than paper when it comes to high-caliber ammunition for military drones.

The rain of fire sprayed from the sky moved together with the rain of blood, weaving an extremely hideous web of death, shattering all resistance from arrows to flying stones.until now.The veterans, whose feet were numb from the shock of the vision, realized that they all turned around and fled after shouting—they were used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, but they had seen people killed with swords and killed with swords. Many people have seen people killed with a hammer, but they have never seen the way of death when the body is torn apart by the rain of fire from the sky!

This is not the means of mortals, this is an evil god, this is a monster, this is the demon who lives in Abi Hell as mentioned in the scriptures!

Swords can kill mortals, how can they deal with monsters?

The screams of the soldiers were unbelievably shrill, and they only wished they had lost two legs when they ran wildly.However, they ran less than a hundred paces, and the sound of engines buzzed in front of each other—then the weapon clicked, and hundreds of twisted fire snakes were sprayed down!

There may be more than one drone controlling the situation throughout the war.The ones hovering above the willow trees were just advance reconnaissance, and the ones that caught up later were the real killers armed to the teeth!

This time there is no scene of falling down and screaming.The soldiers rushing to the front had no time to react, and were already attacked by fire snakes head-on.Then there was an explosion, and there were only flesh and bones scattered in the air—the reconnaissance drone was only equipped with ammunition of about 10mm in order to control the weight; the armed drone was purely for killing, but it was equipped with a 30mm cannon.It is basically impossible to keep anything complete after being wiped by this kind of thing...

Then the second cry broke out immediately.But the soldiers were already dizzy and their legs were weak, so they could only lean on each other trembling.These people looked in horror at the fierce fire nets everywhere around them, as well as the cracked turf and soil in the explosion, and they didn't have the courage to run any more.

At this point, the drone's encirclement net has been woven.The spewing flames poured down, driving and dividing the hundreds of remnants from all directions, and trapped them in the wild grass.Then the reconnaissance drone on the willow circled down and began to play the recording prepared in advance:

"Drop the sword, surrender and not die! Throw down the sword, surrender and not die!"

This loud shout disintegrated the soldiers' line of defense, and gradually some people dropped their swords and raised their hands tremblingly into the air.But the ones chosen by the King of Qi were elite after all, and some soldiers were full of blood. They couldn't help but bend their bows and set up arrows, trying to shoot down this weird evildoer in the air——

Then he burst into a bloody mist with a bang, splashing all over the people next to him.

This explosion became the last straw, and the soldiers who were still stagnant gave up their feet and finally fell to their knees.

When throwing away their weapons, the minds of these veterans who were licking blood from their knives went blank, and only one thought lingered:

This is, this is God showing his power——

·

The drone's AI scanned the field and confirmed that there were no soldiers with weapons.Then it landed slowly, spraying out all the remaining anesthetics—these doses were not enough to anesthetize the hundreds of people in the field, but they could reduce their mobility, making it easier for the traversers to take over the captives.

Seeing the signal on the screen that the injection of the anesthetic was completed, everyone in front of the screen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's over." Wang Zhi murmured, "Is it?"

"...almost." Xiang Liang said: "After the drone patrols around and confirms that there are no enemy troops on the north bank, our action team can set off."

Considering the need to receive prisoners during the war, Xiang Liang specially selected fifty militiamen and five or six large ships, and when the battlefield on the north bank was completely under control, he sent people across the river to transfer the prisoners.

"It won't take long." Mu Chen raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "It's [-]:[-]. If you count from the time the drone took off, this war has been fought for about two hours... It's okay, okay, I thought I was going to stay up all night. If you have nothing else to do, you can go to wash and sleep now. There is still work to be done tomorrow."

After this sentence was finished, the restaurant fell into a brief silence. Everyone looked at each other, but no one moved.This weird atmosphere is very secretive, but everyone knows it well - this war is fought too fast, it is too unreal... Besides, all the people present are pampered modern people after all, although the surveillance pictures just now have done their best. Bloody scenes are avoided, but just the mournful wailing is also palpitating.

"...Everyone doesn't need to have any burden." After a moment of silence, Xiang Liang broke the silence: "I asked Yi Cheng, five or six years ago, the Northern Dynasty also crossed the South River and invaded, and everything it passed was broken. He said that he once I saw the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty throwing babies in the air and shooting arrows for fun...every shot we fire here can save thousands of people. Daxing doesn't care about the details, so don't take it too seriously."

The hall was silent for a while, and finally Liu Ming spoke.

"Actually... I also know this truth, and I don't feel any pressure." He was a little embarrassed: "That's right, it's just that these screams are really scary, and there are blood and flesh flying...Only me For me, it’s like watching a horror movie, I know it’s nothing, but I’m really scared.”

When he said these words, several people around nodded, obviously feeling sorry for him.

Mu Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that he was also scared out of his wits by the rebellious soldiers when he first traveled through time, but he gradually became numb afterward.As soon as he thought of this, he immediately spoke:

"In this case, do you need to have a call with Hyundai and talk to a psychiatrist?"

Liu Ming quickly shook his head: "——That's unnecessary. I know how to debug it myself. That's right, I just have lingering fears for a while, and I'm afraid I can't sleep well..."

Mu Chen frowned, before he could speak, Liu Ming had already picked up the words:

"Of course, it's just a little emotion, and there's no need for intervention like drugs. That's right, that's what I think... Can we all sleep together tonight?"

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw several consultants nodded!

·

After all, they were just watching the fire from the other side. Although everyone suffered a lot of shocks, no one appeared on the battlefield.But when Mu Chen reviewed the report after the war, he felt that he was about to be ptsd by the system!

Simply put, fire cannot be contained in paper.Gao Duo was taken back to Jiangling City and held alone. It didn't take long for him to know that he was captured by King Hengyang.Then a red light flashed before Mu Chen's eyes, and the system appeared out of thin air, and reminded Mu Chen in a despicable tone that the hero's favorability for him had reached -99.The system also provided a detailed introduction, telling him that the favorability of -99 is because only -99 can be measured, and the actual favorability can be guessed by yourself.

Then Mu Chen poured a cup of boiling water on it on the spot.

A few days later, Mu Chen knew exactly how much the male protagonist liked him. According to the practice of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, noble children like Gao Duo were given special treatment even if they were captured, and Mu Chen had to personally interrogate him.But since the male protagonist was tied up by Wuhuada, he looked up and saw King Hengyang in the hall, so he opened his mouth and drool, which almost didn't splash on Mu Chen's feet.

But Mu Chen wasn't very angry - in fact, before he had time to react, Dr. Shu Baishu had already rushed forward and dealt with such a shameful act of flouting the epidemic prevention regulations cleanly.Dr. Shu put on his gloves and volleyed a big pussy pocket, slapping the male lead's head to the left, half of his fair face was swollen instantly.

Then the male lead struggled and turned his head, two streams of blood slid down under the straight bridge of his nose, quite beautiful like white snow and red plums.

Mu Chen was taken aback for a moment: "Is he... all right?"

"Oh, it's okay." Shu Bai took off his gloves and said calmly, "A friend of mine who is a dentist taught me this. Slap a few nerve-rich acupuncture points on the face. The effect is similar to pulling teeth, but not Get in the way of talking."

Mu Chen shivered, feeling a little sympathy in his heart.

Dr. Shu's guarantee is really reliable.The male lead wobbled for half a minute, then quickly regained his energy.This time he didn't dare to spit casually, but changed to another way of dumping garbage - Gao Duo opened his mouth, and spewed out long-winded obscenities. He scolded him for his hermaphrodite appearance, and then scolded him from his intersex appearance to his meanness, shamelessness, lowliness and filthiness. He even used poisonous things to plot against him.

This time, Mu Chen felt nothing.He has been on the Internet for many years, what kind of eccentric Zaan meme has he never seen?Just relying on the poor swearword vocabulary of the ancients, he couldn't break his defense at all.Even Mu Chen made a careful distinction, and wanted to applaud the eighteen generations of ancestors who scolded the emperor of the Southern Dynasty—you said that you can give birth to a precious prince based on Liu Ziye, how virtuous the ancestors must be!

After Gao Duo scolded for seven or eight minutes and stopped to catch his breath, Mu Chen finally knocked on a few cases, mentioning a point that the male protagonist has repeatedly struggled with:

"You think I'm poisoning you?"

"Zhuzi, you bastard! Slave!" Gao Duo's anger was surging, and veins appeared on his fair and transparent skin: "You used despicable tricks to kidnap Grandpa and me, don't you dare to admit it?! Cunning villain, dogs will not eat!"

"I didn't say I didn't recognize it." Mu Chen interrupted him: "If that's the case, then I'll show my cards right away. It's true that I drugged you and brought you here. How about it?"

There was a moment of silence in the lobby.Gao Duo opened his mouth wide, as if he didn't believe that there were such shameless people in the world.Seeing Gao Duo trembling and yelling, Mu Chen waved his hand casually, and Xiang Liang stepped forward immediately, stretched out his hand and squeezed it lightly, dislocating the male lead's jaw with a click.

"Take it down." Mu Chen yawned, "Don't mistreat the prisoner, we're still waiting for him to report the news."

·

Even so, the traversers did not dig out any news from the captives - under modern interrogation methods, these people certainly know everything, but judging from the results of the comprehensive analysis, they are just for the king of Qi. The elite soldiers specially formed to temper Aiko did not participate in the specific deployment of the entire North-South Battle, and they could master very little.

This kind of result gave the crossing team an unexpected challenge—according to the system prompts, their attack on the male protagonist was just a small twist in the main plot, and the large-scale battle between the North and the South is still in full swing. It will change because of the disappearance of a noble son.However, a war of this scale has a wide impact. If they are involved in it accidentally, their one-month achievements may be completely destroyed.

Xiang Liang made a conclusion on this at the military meeting: the most urgent task is to figure out the deployment of the Northern Dynasty army.

This serious statement created considerable pressure, but the traversers were helpless.The places where the troops were mobilized in the Northern Dynasties covered too many places, and it was difficult for drones to conduct a complete reconnaissance; modern people are incompatible with the Middle Ages, and it is unrealistic to rely on manpower to collect them.But if you sit in the fog of war and know nothing, the risks are completely uncontrollable.

After thinking about it, Mu Chen finally gritted his teeth and bowed his head. He took out fifteen points and replaced the key clues with the system. According to the strange rules of the system, for the sake of so-called "drama", it cannot provide information to the host; it can only guide the plot. The trend and the development of the plot indirectly allow the host to obtain information.

Three days later, the key clue that indirectly provided intelligence finally came to the door.

After Gao Duo's army was wiped out, the control of Jiangling City has been slightly relaxed, but there are still checks on entry and exit.At two o'clock on the same day, the guards guarding the city gate stopped a well-dressed boy.The young man was holding a famous card in his hand, and kept saying that his master was going to meet the King of Hengyang, and he would inform him on his behalf.

After a cup of tea, this famous card was in Mu Chen's hand.After unfolding it, he roughly scanned it, and immediately fixed his eyes on the inscription of the famous assassin:

"The villain Guo Zhao asks the King of Hengyang about his daily life again"

Mu Chen squinted his eyes, then handed the famous stab to Xiang Liang.

"Here comes the clue." He tapped on the desktop: "According to the system's introduction, this man named Guo Zhao is a giant businessman traveling from north to south, and has intersected with dignitaries on both sides. There must be news about him."

Xiang Liang took the name badge and pondered for a while: "Who is this?"

"Not sure." Mu Chen shook his head slightly: "But judging from the system's introduction, this person is quite...ambitious."

At the seventh quarter of the hour, King Chui'en of Hengyang issued an order, ordering Guo Zhao to pay homage to the government office in Jiangling.The young servant in Tsing Yi Wei Wei took the order and went away. After a while, there was a sound of wheels on the wheels, and more than ten carriages lined up from outside the city, and the river meandered into the city gate.The knights on both sides were covered in leather armor, and the big tall horses were majestic and fit, and they walked in unison. The people on both sides were amazed and couldn't help but look around.

In just a cup of tea, the mighty motorcade had already stopped at the main entrance of the government office.Then the curtain on the cart in the middle was lifted, and a tall and thin man got off the carriage and walked quickly into the gate of the government office.

Although there was such a battle outside, as soon as the man entered the hall, he immediately kowtowed and kowtowed to the ground, respectfully performed the grand ceremony of meeting the clan, and then wished Hengyang Wang Antai.

Mu Chen leaned behind a few desks, just nodded casually, then stood up holding Xiang Liang's hand, and turned straight to the screen behind him.

In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the separation between scholars and commoners was like clouds and mud, and Qingliu was ashamed to know the facts.No matter how long-sleeved and good at dancing Guo Zhao is, he is a rich man in the world, but in front of the King of Hengyang, he is just a turd who can't stand on the stage.Mu Chen's willingness to take the time to meet with her was already an unexpected reward.

Therefore, before the meeting, Wang Zhi had repeatedly urged him to show the most arrogant and rude attitude.If I say a few more words, I am afraid that Guo Zhao himself will be suspicious and panic-given his status, being able to connect with the officials of the royal family is considered a high climb.

However, the whole scene still required Mu Chen to follow up at any time, so the advisory group dispatched urgently and replaced the screen in the lobby with a decorated one-way glass.

Sure enough, Guo Zhao got up from the ground, lowered his head with his arms crossed, and saluted the few consultants left in the hall.

After a while, Wang Zhi, who was in charge of reviewing the matter, finally spoke:

"Guo Langjun, you have traveled thousands of miles to Jiangling, and you keep saying that you want to see His Highness, what do you want?"

Wang Zhi's current status is the chief history of the palace, and his status is higher than that of Guo Zhao, so he adjusted his tone to be quite arrogant.

Guo Zhao bowed his head and bowed, his posture was extremely respectful, but when he opened his mouth, he said something amazing:

"Under the order of the King of Qi in the Northern Dynasty, I went to Xiangcheng to deliver news to the son, but unexpectedly, after several days of searching, there was no trace of the son of the King of Qi. Therefore, I will pay my respects to the palace of Hengyang after death, and ask the king for a little convenience."

There was a moment of silence in the lobby.In the end it was Wang Zhi who spoke: "Since you are the heir of the Northern Dynasty, what does it have to do with the Hengyang Palace? If you are full of nonsense and deceitful words, do you really think that His Highness does not have a knife to kill people?"

His words were sharp and ruthless, but his focus was on "false words and deceit", Guo Zhao naturally understood it as soon as he heard it.He raised his head and smiled humbly, but slapped his hands twice.A moment later, a khaki puppy dashed into the lobby, wagging its tail at Guo Zhao's feet.

"Your Majesty, please." Guo Zhao crossed his hands and said, "This is a spirit dog that is under training. It is best at distinguishing all kinds of smells. Before the prince took the order to go out this time, Princess Qi asked for a carved dipterocarp. I told my son to keep it close to me. The fragrance of dipterocarp is unique and lasts for a long time. I took this spirit dog and searched on both sides of the river for several days, and finally found Jiangling City..."

Wang Zhi couldn't help being stunned for a moment.Because of the moral principles of modern people, they only confiscated weapons after capturing prisoners, and did not search personal belongings.Unexpectedly, such a little negligence would be followed by others.He glanced at the yellow dog spinning around, but his tone changed sharply:

"Mr. Guo Lang is full of ingenuity. But the north and the south are feuds, and the two countries will do everything they can to fight each other. Since your highness is a vassal, it is natural to arrest the son of the northern dynasty. If you ask me this question, do you want to be a soldier of the north?" Do you open your eyes?"

This sentence was almost a question, and the heavily armed soldiers on both sides immediately understood and raised their armor as a deterrent.

Guo Zhao didn't move, just bowed his hands solemnly, and said in a calm tone:

"My lord. The two countries gathered their troops for a decisive battle, and all the nine states in the world would be alarmed. What a big event this is. How dare Guo, a contemptible and vulgar person, dare to say it? It's just that the son of King Qi is young and ignorant, but he is just an ordinary nobleman. It’s just a child. Even if captured, it will not honor His Highness’s prestige. Moreover, King Qi has a powerful army and is well versed in warfare. He has been invincible for decades, if he pities his beloved son and sends troops in a fit of anger, I’m afraid Jiangnan will bleed and drift away.”

He said he bowed down again, with a sincere tone: "If Your Highness can open the net to three sides, pity Qi Wangfei's mourning and licking the calf, and King Siyu's best wishes for turning hostility into jade silk, Guo Mou is willing to follow the example of dogs and horses, and cross the river north to lobby Qi Wang , must order the northern army to restrain the troops, and march southward, without infringing on Jiangling at all."

Having said that, he paused and added more chips:

"Guo has traveled around the world and has a lot of treasures. If His Royal Highness is willing to show great kindness, the villain is willing to offer three rare treasures for the redemption of the son."

As soon as he said a word, the hall was silent for a moment.Wang Zhi squinted his eyes slightly, thinking that this guy surnamed Guo really had the ability to blend in and deal with people with long sleeves and dancing. In just a few words, he threatened and lured him with emotion, as if he had the demeanor of a political strategist in the Warring States Period.If the person sitting in the hall is really the original Hengyang King, I am afraid that he will be forced to hand over the hostage.After all, the north is strong and the south is weak, so it is really impossible to compete with King Qi.

But no one in the hall took this set.Wang Zhi looked back at the screen and sneered decisively:

"Guo Langjun really has a talent for doing business. This ability to avoid the important and ignore the important, buy low and sell high, I am afraid that even Tao Zhugong will be stunned. The king of Qi respects orders and transfers power to others. The only seedling he loves in every possible way is talented Is it just an ordinary nobleman? When Lu Buwei saw Zichu, he immediately knew that there are rare goods to live in. Being able to become the lord of the country, the benefits are immeasurable. Is it too stingy to only pay for three playthings?"

Guo Zhao put on his clothes and looked solemn, and said respectfully: "Then how much compensation does the Lord Fu want?"

Wang Zhi said indifferently: "Since I can travel between the two sides of the strait and lobby the king of Qi, I must know the movements of the Northern Army. We are guarding Jiangling alone, and I feel really uneasy. I want to inquire about the transfer of the Northern Army. On the one hand, I will make some preparations. What do you think?" "

Guo Zhao's face moved slightly, but there was obvious hesitation in his eyes.He hesitated for a moment, but finally he handed it over: "I'm afraid..."

"Mr. Guo doesn't take the salary from the north, why should he be loyal to them?" Wang Zhi spoke first, and cut off his words directly: "Furthermore, it's only natural for businessmen to seek profits, so why not sell news? How can we know what Mr. Guo leaked? We are short of troops, we only want to protect ourselves, and we will never reveal any trace of Mr. Guo."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up, a half-smile, with a slightly mocking tone:

"—Besides, is it true that Mr. Guo has been in business for decades, and he is really so honest, and has never encountered such a thing?"

This sentence hits the point, but Guo Zhao bowed his head in silence, but still did not say a word.As if not convinced.

Behind the screen, Mu Chen and Xiang Liang looked at each other, and finally decided to implement the backup plan they had just drawn up.Mu Chen coughed slightly, raised her hand and knocked on the screen.In the hall, Guo Zhao was shocked all over, and quickly bowed down again.

"Guo Qing." Mu Chen's voice was gentle and soft, as if he just said casually and lazily: "I also know your difficulties. I don't like to force things by nature. If Guo Qing really doesn't want to, why not change the conditions?"

Guo Zhao prostrated and kowtowed, throwing his body to the ground: "Please show me your Highness."

Mu Chen tapped the screen, and continued to put on the tone of just waking up from a nap:

"It's nothing. I was bored just now, and I was quite curious when I heard Guo Qing said that I have several treasures in my hand, so I suddenly thought, I wanted to compare the treasures with Guo Qing, and bet on the prize. What does Guo Qing think?"

Guo Zhao seemed taken aback: "Sai, Saibao?"

"That's right." The King of Hengyang said lightly, "Just like the allusion of Shi Chong and Wang Kai, we each produced three treasures and competed with each other. Among the three rounds, if the widow wins one round, I will ask Guo Qing to name a northern army." Conversely, if the widow loses one game, let Guo Qing meet the captive; if he loses two games, he will allow Guo Qing to pass things on; I will let the captives report that they are safe. How about it?"

Guo Zhao got stuck again.But this time, Mu Chen looked carefully through the glass, and saw the struggle on Guo Zhao's face clearly.The information provided by the system is indeed accurate. This Guo Zhao is very ambitious and gambler, and he can't extricate himself when he hears about the game.Besides, a giant businessman like him is going to make friends with all kinds of dignitaries. Even if he wins this time, he can get on the line of King Hengyang.

Sure enough, Guo Zhao kowtowed again:

"The villain obeys the order."

"...That's good." Mu Chen lay down and said, "It's not easy to prepare in a hurry, so come back to Doubao in two hours. Guo Qing, go down and rest first."

When Guo Zhao retreated and disappeared at the gate, Mu Chen finally jumped up from the recliner and pushed the screen away:

"Get ready to contact Hyundai immediately, hurry up!"

·

Guo Zhao visited the government office for the second time, and the battle was even more astonishing.This time around him were no longer strong guards, but a total of six beauties, three from the left and three from the right. When they moved, they were weak and graceful, and everyone was stunned.These six beauties sent Guo Zhao to the lobby like stars and moons, and then knelt down together, forming a row in front of the steps.

Wang Zhi, who presided over the fight, was slightly stunned: "...Guo Langjun, what are you doing?"

Guo Zhao hurriedly saluted: "My lord, these are some of my maidservants. In the past, Shi Chongji's concubine had no trace of her fragrance and body, and she could never get it again in future generations. I have worked hard for a long time and pondered over and over again, and finally practiced it. There are so many people who can see past."

Wang Zhi blinked, and finally remembered the allusion of Taxiang Wuhen——Shi Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty loved beautiful women who were thin and light, so he sprinkled incense powder on the ivory bed, and if there was no trace after stepping on it, he could get a hundred pearls.He glanced over, and sure enough, he saw that the beauty under the steps was trembling, her face was blue and her wrists and ankles were so thin that her bones protruded, as if she was malnourished after a severe diet.

Wang Zhi withdrew his gaze, disgusted and bored in his heart, but he had already guessed Guo Zhao's intentions - Mu Chen just mentioned Shi Chong casually in the morning, and now he can find a beauty who looks like Shi Chongji's concubine. This kind of flattery is unparalleled.It's a pity that the horse's ass was patted on the horse's leg. I am afraid that no one present still has a good impression of him.

"Shi Chong died unexpectedly, so there is no need for Mr. Guo Lang to compare himself." He said lightly: "The time has come. According to the agreement between the two parties, there are three rounds of treasure fighting, the order is silk, satin, wool, jade, and jewelry. The master and the guest can do as they please." , please Guo Langjun show the treasure first."

Guo Zhao's face froze for a moment, and then he smiled again.He clapped his hands, and the prostrate beauty immediately stood up and respectfully presented a gold box studded with precious stones.Guo Zhao pressed the jewel to open the mechanism, and took out a snow-white... shawl from the box?

Everyone present (including Mu Chen behind the screen) was a little surprised, but no matter how they looked up, they could only see that the shawl was soft, delicate, and clean in color. Good material is good material, but it is not a treasure anyway... Is Guo Zhao planning to vote directly?

But the beauty holding the gold box stepped back carefully, and behind her came a maid holding a lupine.The maid waved her fan vigorously, and the shawl flew up, hunting and flying in the air!

After the maid slapped her hands a few times, she lowered her hands to stop the wind. The scarf was still fluttering in the air, and it slowly fell down after a while.

Guo Zhao smiled, stacked the scarf Zhen and put it back into the gold box.He crossed his hands and saluted: "This is a treasure bought in Bashu area. It is soft and light like nothing. It can be passed through a ring in a bunch. Although it is very light and thin, it is unparalleled in warmth. I once wrapped a shawl in my shawl. After a few days, the chicken hatched a chick by itself."

Behind the screen, Liu Ming suddenly groaned and grabbed Xiang Liang's arm: "This is fucking Shahtoosh! It's made of Tibetan antelope cashmere!"

Mu Chen was stunned.He doesn't understand Shahtoosh, but he can clearly understand Tibetan antelope cashmere.With the transportation capacity of the Middle Ages, it is indeed a rare treasure to transport such a thing from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!

The consultants in the hall also heard Liu Ming's low cry through earphones.Wang Zhi was taken aback for a moment, but after all his expression remained unchanged, he raised his hand and asked the soldiers to bring the treasures from the Hengyang Palace.

It's just that this treasure is not as decent as a beauty escort.Wang Zhi directly opened the iron box he sent, and took out a light and fluttering silk dress with a half-opened and half-closed Han Ou flower on the skirt.Guo Zhao looked up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth immediately.

"The weaving is exquisite, and the colors are so bright." He said softly, "This is indeed excellent silk."

But it's just excellent silk, how can it be considered a treasure?

Wang Zhi snorted, raised his head and picked up the candle he had prepared earlier.He flicked up the candle flame, leaned close to the skirt and shook it slightly.

After a while, the color on the long skirt changed quietly, and the half-opened lotus was undulating like water, gradually spitting out pink petals.In just half a minute, the half-opened lotus has fully bloomed and turned into a slim, thick and pleasant lotus.

If you sniff carefully, there seems to be a hint of lotus fragrance in the air.

Wang Zhi finally showed a smile:

"Nowadays, the rules of the wealthy family, the clothes must be in line with the seasons, and they have to be changed several times a day. Our Highness thought it was too cumbersome, so we searched carefully and found this dress..."

He glanced around, but saw Guo Zhao was dumbfounded, a bowl of tea had already been buckled on his body, dripping water all over his body.It wasn't until after a few breaths that Guo Zhao seemed to wake up from a dream, and said in a low voice:

"Here, how is this woven?"

Wang Zhi's smile deepened, but he didn't speak at all.Of course, he couldn't actually explain it—it was a treasure sent by the Chinese Academy of Sciences after Mu Chen exchanged his points for an emergency exchange with Hyundai.According to them, this silk is a great achievement of genetic engineering. Silk naturally has special protein groups that can change color and volatilize at different temperatures, so it can have such an effect...

This kind of dimensionality reduction attack really doesn't talk about martial ethics, so Wang Zhi decided to laugh it off.

Guo Zhao was stunned for a long time, but in the end he still conceded the bet.

"His Majesty's rare treasures are unparalleled in the world. I am eye-opening." He was silent for a moment, and then said with difficulty: "The northern soldiers are now stationed in Jiangxia, ready to go. Within a month, they will make a large-scale march."

After finishing speaking, he opened the box, took the Tibetan antelope shawl, stretched out his hand and tore it in two:

"Since it is not unparalleled in the world, there is no need to show your eyes."

Wang Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, but his tone remained flat: "Then let's start the next round."

Guo Zhao waved his hand and asked the beauty to send the next gold box.

This time, it was a piece of exquisite and translucent jade. Under the sunlight, the jade was shiny and lustrous, but there was a swaying red in the middle.

Liu Heng, who was standing on the side, took a glance and blurted out: "Blood jade?"

Guo Zhao nodded: "Your Majesty is very knowledgeable. This is a piece of blood jade that I paid a lot of money. Every night when the moon rises, there will be a slight red light. According to the method of taking food in the prescription, it can be extended for a long time if worn for a long time. Yan..."

Liu Heng smiled, but did not speak.This blood jade is precious, but it can glow at night, probably because it contains some radioactive minerals, fortunately he dared to wear it for a long time.

Wang Zhi clapped his hands again and summoned the second wooden box.The inside of the box is filled with silk, but inside is a plain sapphire deep plate.Having learned the lesson from last time, Guo Zhao held his breath and watched Wang Zhi put the sapphire plate on the table, slowly poured a bowl of hot water, and then stretched out his hand to gently rub the edge.

In an instant, countless water droplets in the plate leaped up, jumped and danced in the air and collided with each other, and then fell down like raindrops.The falling raindrops knocked and rolled down the edge of the jade plate, playing a series of melodies.

Even if Guo Zhao was prepared in his heart, he was terrified to see such a strange thing.He suddenly stood up and looked carefully, but he saw that the sapphire plate was as thin as a paper embryo, and the jade was integrated into one piece, so it was absolutely impossible to hide any mechanism.Guo Zhao stared at it for a long time, but finally knelt down slowly and let out a long sigh.

"...The ingenious workmanship is as good as this." He said in a hoarse voice, "I am convinced."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and the priceless blood jade fell to the ground, smashing into pieces with a bang.

When the beauty delivered the third gold box, Guo Zhao said slowly, "The Northern Army has been planning for a long time, intending to attack Jiankang from Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Your Highness, please make your own plans."

Wang Zhi frowned: Yuzhou is not far from Jiangling, and the southward movement of the army will inevitably affect them. It is indeed necessary to "make plans early".

After Guo Zhao said this, he shook his head and sighed, as if he felt that he was about to fail miserably, and his mind was hard to calm down after all.Even so, he still pulled himself together and opened the third gold box. The inside of the box was slightly fluorescent, but it was a pearl the size of a pigeon egg, and there was some dirty wood under it.Pearls of this size are indeed precious, but they are inferior to the previous two, so naturally there is no chance of winning.Wang Zhi groaned, and was about to call someone to deliver the jewels, when suddenly his eyes focused:

"What's under it?"

Guo Zhao smiled: "My lord, these pearls are picked in the extremely cold deep sea. If there is no nourishment from damp things, they will gradually dry out and become worthless. I found some pearls from ancient tombs. Wood, maintain it..."

Wang Zhi's eyes flashed: Don't look at what this kid said so lightly, he probably did the vile business of digging graves.But that's not the point... He carefully looked at the few knots of rotten wood under the pearl, and said slowly, "I wonder if I can take a look?"

Guo Zhao was a little startled, but immediately ordered someone to bring the gold box over.Wang Zhi picked it up carefully, but when he glanced up, he felt blood rushing to his head.

"Tai - Tai Shigong." He murmured, "This, the writing on it -"

On the rotten and blackened slender wooden strip, there are clearly four words "Taishi Gongyue"!

Guo Zhao became more and more astonished, but he couldn't help feeling proud—how could he use ordinary rotten wood to preserve pearls?The wood in this box is also very expensive, but only those who are proficient in literature and history can recognize it.

This is an extremely cryptic display.Now Wang Changshi of Hengyang actually saw through it at a glance, and he was quite happy: "Your Majesty has good eyesight. When the five Hus went south to the Guanzhong, it was broken, and the ancient tombs of Chang'an were all stolen. This is the bamboo tube dug out from the tomb of Marquis Ping of the Han Dynasty. It is "Tai Shi Gong Shu."

Wang Zhi closed his eyes, almost thinking that he was about to faint.But he actually held on, but his voice was hoarse:

"Yang Wei, Marquis of Anping, married the only daughter of Ma Qian from the Taishi Company." He hissed, "So this is, this is—"

"Your Majesty's expectation is good." Guo Zhao said with a smile: "I also asked someone to look at it, and they said that ninety-nine percent of the traces on the bamboo tube were Sima Qian's own handwriting. Alas, it's a pity that there are too many tubes. That's all it takes..."

After saying a word, the hall fell into a strange silence.Wang Zhi stared down at the gold box, while Liu Heng stared up at the screen.Even the soldiers on both sides stood up straight, without moving their eyes at all.

Guo Zhao smiled for a while, and the expression on his face finally became stiff.He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything weird... After such a moment of silence, finally there was a light knock behind the screen.

"You won." King Hengyang said coldly.

·

When Guo Zhao took the gold box and left the hall with a confused face, Wang Zhicai let out a long breath, turned around and rushed into the screen.

Before Mu Chen could react, Dr. Wang, a gentleman of history, had already started to ask:

"When do we start?"
