Chapter 206: The Artifact that Governs the Country! Wang's Cannon

…

At the same time as Wang Yingxuan and Zhao Tingjian were talking.

In the sky, another startling rainbow suddenly arrived.

The speed of that startling rainbow was slower than that of Wang Yingxuan, and it also lacked the hint of forge ahead to directly attack Huanglong.

But it is like an invincible horse, with a long flaming tail like a big broom trailing behind it. From a distance, it is extremely windy and spectacular.

Even though Wang Yingxuan had made a brilliant appearance before, this drill was enough to shock everyone.

After she slowed down, everyone could clearly see the figure in training.

It was a young woman with a slightly baby-fat face. She was dressed in a lavender outfit and looked cute and charming.

And under her feet, there was a huge Yanyue Sword.

The Yanyue Sword was cold and heavy, with a deep blue-black color on the blade, and gorgeous gilt patterns on the back of the blade. At first glance, it looked like a golden-armored war god who dominated the battlefield, with an air of invincibility. Domineering in the world.

"This, this, this..." Zhao Tingjian was stunned.

Is this another semi-immortal weapon?

What kind of family do these two belong to?

Isn't it a bit too arrogant to go home to visit relatives and come back with half-immortal weapons?

However, Wang Lizi was not interested in the meeting. After reporting directly to Old Zhaotou, he stepped on the Yanyue Sword and went straight to the tenth battle group to which he belonged.

Only the 10th Regiment, which is responsible for the logistics supply of the entire group army and is commonly known as the "Head Army", is where she feels most at ease.

There is the magic pig she worked so hard to catch and raise, as well as the big mouse and Lan Wan'er waiting for her~

The Tenth Chapter has never had to go to the battlefield to confront the enemy head-on. Naturally, one can participate in combat meetings or not.

"Old Zhaotou, don't look away." Wang Yingxuan put her hands behind her back and said in an old-fashioned way, "While the various group leaders haven't arrived yet, let's hold an internal high-level meeting to unify our thoughts."

Zhao Tingjian raised his white eyebrows. Just when he was about to get angry out of habit, he thought of something again. Instead, he smiled, rubbed his hands with a shy face and said, "Yingxuan, why don't we talk about the gift first."

It is said that in the Shenwu Dynasty, the boss of a group army was called the army commander. At that time, every legion commander with some qualifications could have a semi-immortal weapon.

But now that resources are scarce, how can it be as glorious as the Shenwu period?

Most of the marshals of the group army can only have a Taoist weapon to support the scene. As for the semi-immortal weapon, how much meritorious deeds must be done to redeem it from the military treasure house?

"Look at how anxious you are, isn't it just a semi-immortal weapon?" Wang Yingxuan touched the storage ring, took out a long sword full of fairy spirit, threw it to Zhao Tingjian and said, "Well, I will lend you this sword first. If you use it, remember to return it to me after you retire."

It was a very elegant long sword.

The sword body is as white as jade, and the whole body is exuding a gleaming white light, which is as refreshing as the bright moonlight.

On the hilt of the sword, there were even thin lines of silver radiance, forming a complex and mysterious inscription, which seemed to be able to influence the law.

"What a sword! What a sword~"

Zhao Tingjian took it as if he had found a treasure, and excitedly picked up the crystal-like jade sword.

However, as he rubbed it, he suddenly looked more and more familiar with the sword: "Hey, isn't this the mountain-suppressing semi-immortal weapon [Yueyue Sword] in the military treasure house of our Immortal No. 2 base?"

The so-called "mountain-suppressing" treasures in the treasure house are naturally the kind of top-quality treasures that are used to highlight the heritage of the Immortal Dynasty and whet people's appetites.

Generally speaking, they all have two distinct characteristics. First, they are naturally extremely powerful and extremely rare. Second, they require extremely high merit points for redemption.

Just like those super rewards in the officer training academy, in most cases, they are just pies to motivate soldiers to work hard.

"Yes, I saw that she had been lying in the treasure house for too long, so I redeemed her and lent it to you. Anyway, my family has equipped me with the semi-immortal weapon 'Chasing the Sun'." Wang Yingxuan said, "But I also have my glass here. Aunt Ci gave half of the credit, and she also contributed half of the military merit points.”

She originally wanted to exchange her massive military achievements for a semi-immortal weapon, but unexpectedly, the only semi-immortal weapon in the treasure house of Naixian No. 2 base was this [Moon-Inviting Sword].

Listen! What does this sound like?

Zhao Tingjian was inevitably a little sour in his heart.

Give me a semi-immortal weapon at home! ! Why doesn't he have a family like this? The world of rich people is really exciting.

"It is true that the Moon-Yearing Sword is a semi-immortal weapon, and I am also good at swordsmanship." Zhao Tingjian said with a slight regret, "It's just that she seems to be more suitable for women to use, and she looks so good."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want it. I can lend it to...well, Yan...no, Liao Yingjun." Wang Yingxuan looked around, and then she realized that her "little brothers" from the seventh battle group were also there.

Liao Yingjun, the deputy of the 7th Chapter, suddenly became excited and hurriedly stepped forward. He stretched out his hand to take the Half-Immortal Sword from Zhao Tingjian: "Thank you, Boss Yingxuan, for the reward."

"roll!"

Zhao Tingjian slapped Liao Yingjun away, then hugged Yao Yuejian tightly and said firmly: "Who said I don't want it anymore? Yes, of course I want it."

Although it is only a temporary loan and somewhat feminine, it is a semi-immortal weapon after all. After passing this village, where can he get another semi-immortal weapon?

"Let's go and have a high-level meeting." Zhao Tingjian looked like he was afraid that Wang Yingxuan would regret it, so he took her to the meeting, preparing to satisfy the little girl's desire to be all-powerful.

Young people, after getting a baby, will inevitably feel that they are invincible, full of self-confidence, and want to do something to prove themselves, he can understand.

However.

The high-level meeting had just started tea time, and veins appeared on his forehead.

After another cup of tea, he couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the table and roared: "No, I firmly disagree with your strategic plan! Why should I withstand the joint attack of the two demon kings? Do you think I am the reincarnation of the God of War? ?!"

"Old Zhaotou, you have to be a little enterprising as a person, otherwise what's the difference with salted fish?" Wang Yingxuan also slapped the table and yelled back, "Aren't they just two demon kings? How can we achieve great achievements if we don't take some risks? ?”

"Bah! I will retire in two hundred years. I still want to wait for retirement quietly~ I am already this old, with old arms and legs, how can I stand the torment, and still risk it? In danger?"

"If you don't want to make progress, then return the semi-immortal weapon to me..."

"I won't return it... Yingxuan, please listen to my advice and be careful when sailing the ten-thousand-year-old ship."

"How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain?"

One old man and one young man just slapped each other on the table at a high-level meeting, and no one was willing to give in.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became tense.

When the chapter leaders who came after hearing the news saw this posture, they immediately fell silent. For a moment, a vague idea came to their minds, why did it feel like our Xian No. 2 Eastern Front Defense Area Group Army was about to change.

And at the same time.

Wang Lizi also arrived at his tenth battle group. Big Mouse and Lan Wan'er, who had reunited after a long separation, were very happy and circled around Wang Lizi.

Wang Lizi did not treat them badly and brought them many family specialties.

Afterwards, Wang Lizi started what he had not finished before leaving, which was to lead the 10th Chapter to conduct "training" again, and organized multiple hunting teams to start catching edible monsters everywhere and expand the monster garden. The scale of breeding within and the types of monsters to be raised.

For a time, her food career was in full swing, and it was so lively.

…

And just when Li Ci and Yingxuan returned to the legion to start major construction.

Dongqian's "Operation Spring Thunder" is also being intensively prepared.

To the north of Guilong City and to the east of Lingyun Holy Land, a huge canal is traversing this fertile land like an ancient dragon.

In the canal, the vast water flows continuously and the vast water nourishes tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people along the coast.

This canal is one of the grand canal projects in the Daqian Centenary Project Plan, called the "Western Grand Canal".

The Grand Canal starts from the West Sea and winds its way through Dala County. There is another branch, the "Guilong Canal", which goes southward, passing through Lingyun Holy Land and finally reaching Guilong City, connecting the entire northwest region together.

With the completion of the canal, it not only solved the water source problem in the Dala Desert, but also solved the problem of transporting large quantities of goods.

This is a major project that truly benefits the country and the people.

The construction of this Grand Canal took a full fifty years.

After it was officially put into operation, it took several decades to develop, and now a rich economic belt with the canal as its core has been formed. The economy of Dara County has also taken off due to this.

The large ships that travel through the Guilong Canal every day, busy transporting various supplies, are witnesses to all this.

The huge amount of money and manpower invested in this project has already recovered its cost. The aristocratic family that had received shares in Baiyun Tower was now making a lot of money. They only regretted that they had not been cruel enough to receive more shares.

Those who were timid at the time and waited and saw no end are now regretting it endlessly and wishing they could rush back and slap themselves hard in the face. With that initial hesitation, what I missed was more than just a house or a village? What was missed was clearly the golden and white mountains of gold and silver!

Di Zian also tasted the benefits of the construction of this large project and began to invest crazily in expanding the canal. Nowadays, all counties within Daqian have been gradually connected by canals, making the transportation of bulk goods easier and cheaper.

These canals are like blood vessels throughout the land of Daqian. Today, they have become one of the lifelines of Daqian's economy.

now.

On the vast Guilong Canal, transport ships with flags of various chambers of commerce were shuttled back and forth. The flow was endless, making it a lively and busy scene.

Among the countless transport ships coming and going, a group of large transport ships was mixed in.

At the bow of one of the large transport ships, a young man with a calm and extraordinary temperament was conducting a routine inspection with a group of family guards, observing the route conditions with his clairvoyance.

Their trip was to escort a batch of "important supplies."

This is a large transport ship with a huge hull and extremely strong carrying capacity, but the volume of the cargo does not look large.

However, the hull of the ship has a deep draft, and the materials transported are obviously very heavy. Behind them, there was also a series of transport ships, tightly covered with tarpaulins, obviously all important supplies.

"Fourth Young Master," said the boss of the ship owner who was responsible for driving this transport ship, "The water in the front section is called Huilong Bay, and the water is a little tight. But this is not the most troublesome..."

"Shipowner, if you have anything to say, just say it clearly." The calm young man said calmly.

The cargo being escorted this time was very large, including a batch of "national artifacts" that were extremely heavy. Wang's own fleet had very limited experience in inland waterway transportation. This time, she chose to cooperate with an old shipowner who was used to canal transportation. .

Of course, this is also related to the Wang family's unwillingness to vigorously develop the river transportation industry. After all, many aristocratic families now rely on this to make a living. The Wang family has developed to this point, and the model of making money has already undergone great changes, and it is no longer willing to "compete with the people for profit."

Rather than making money from transportation, it is more important to develop the economic chain along the canal as quickly as possible. Only by allowing the middle- and lower-class families to make money from the canal and the industrial chain being developed and improved can the Wang family and Daqian, as the source and superstructure, reap more dividends.

Therefore, in some basic industries, Wang will make concessions as much as possible.

"The place we passed by Huilong Bay was originally a turbulent inlet, and we need some experience to survive it safely." The old boss said, "Over the years, a group of 'experienced' boatmen have appeared, charging escort fees in the name of escort. If you don’t give it, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get through Longwan this time.”

The calm young man raised his eyebrows: "Water bandit road tyrant? These days, there are still people who dare to set up cards to collect fees in the canal?"

"Fourth Young Master, you don't know something. There is an imperial village near Huilong Bay, and the person in charge is...sigh~" the old leader said helplessly, "So I advise Young Master not to be arrogant. After giving the money, let's get the goods to the destination in a down-to-earth manner. destination."

The boss just finished speaking.

Not far away, in the backwater bay, several speedboats suddenly arrived at speed.

These ships are much smaller than transport ships, but their hulls are well-proportioned and slender. They are incredibly fast when shuttling through the canal, and are extremely flexible when turning around.

On each speedboat, there were five or six sturdy men with a calm aura standing on them.

Several ships formed a fleet and galloped over in a menacing manner. The sharp-edged power immediately caused the captain and other crew members on the ship to suddenly change their expressions, and many of the crew members turned pale at once.

"The water on the road ahead to Huilong Bay is dangerous. Please pay three, no, five hundred gold for each large ship. Our brothers will protect you."

But in the blink of an eye, the clipper had already arrived in front of the cargo ship. The burly man at the head was not polite and directly asked for money.

This group of more than ten large transport ships would be drained of six to seven thousand gold in one go.

The calm young man's face darkened: "So what if I don't give it?"

"If you don't give it, don't blame the turbulent waterway. If something happens, don't blame our brothers~" The burly man at the head laughed loudly when he heard the words, but the meaning of his words made people's hair stand on end.

A series of laughter also erupted on those fast boats, as if the young people had asked some funny questions.

The calm young man's face became even darker, but he didn't say any more nonsense. He waved his hand and ordered: "Take them all."

"Yes, Fourth Young Master."

As soon as the words fell, a family guard stood up behind the young man and shot toward the clippers.

His movement was as light as catkins and as agile as water waves, but in the blink of an eye, he was already above the speedboat.

"You blind guys, you dare to pay for our goods." The guard had a joking smile on his face, and as he spoke, he slapped him with one hand.

In an instant.

The vast and majestic pressure of the Heavenly Realm burst out from him.

The surging profound energy turned into a giant palm that covered the sky and struck down. It was as powerful as the mighty Yangtze River, a huge river. With just one palm, it directly smashed a speedboat into pieces.

The force of the palm wind continued, and a huge depression exploded on the water with a "bang" sound.

"Heavenly Realm?"

The water bandits were a little surprised, but they didn't seem too panicked.

The leader of the water bandits was directly angered by this move. He sneered and said angrily: "How brave! Do you know who is behind us? I'll scare you to death if I tell you."

"Oh, I want to hear, who is behind you?" the voice of a calm young man also sounded.

"My master is a relative of the emperor [Prince Jiajun]. He is an elder relative of the current emperor's son An, and he has the ability to serve as a dragon." The leader of the water bandits spoke proudly.

It's not like I haven't kicked the iron plate on weekdays, but as soon as the name of Prince Jia is mentioned, who dares to stroke his dragon beard?

The calm young man had also heard of Prince Jiajun, and he was indeed an elder relative of Emperor Zi'an. As for the power of following the dragon... this was a bit ridiculous.

He is just a person who beats the drum and shouts for support, but he actually dares to say that he has the "success of following the dragon"?

"The world has only been peaceful for a few years? The situation on the battlefield outside the territory is even more urgent." The calm young man's voice was cold, with deep anger in his tone, "Prince Jiajun is a royal relative, but he has taken up the job of a bandit and a road bully. , You really are shameless! Get them all!"

Nowadays, the Guilong Canal is becoming more and more prosperous, and among them there must be ships that Prince Jia does not dare to collect money from. However, just from the merchant ships coming and going, the toll collected every day is probably no less than tens of thousands of gold.

This year is tens of millions of dry gold, which is a huge sum of money for most families.

Following his order, several other Tianren realm generals immediately jumped into the air, and joined forces with the previous general's guards to easily capture all the water bandits.

No matter how much these water bandits shouted or threatened, it was of no avail.

Upon seeing this, the boss and crew members on the ship were so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out.

They did know that the young master on the ship, who was called the "Fourth Young Master", was very powerful, and the family guards around him seemed to be quite strong, but how could the emperor's relatives be so easy to offend?

Knowing the background of these water bandits, how could this young man dare to act like this?

"Wang Xiaohu, go and interrogate him." The calm young man ordered again.

"Yes, Fourth Young Master."

General Wang Xiaohu thought that he and his men dragged a group of water bandits down for interrogation.

These water bandits were not determined people to begin with, and within a few moments, they were all recruited.

It turned out that they were indeed instructed by Wu Yong, the steward of the Jiajun Prince's Palace, to block boats on the canal and collect "protection fees."

The calm young man frowned slightly and said to a middle-aged and ordinary-looking man behind him: "Uncle Zongjiu, I would like to trouble you and Wang Xiaohu and the others to go to Jiajun Prince's Mansion to capture the housekeeper Wu Yong. . Anyone who dares to stop us will be arrested."

"Yes, Fourth Young Master." Wang Zongjiu accepted the order and left.

Wang made a lot of gains in the officer training academy this time. In addition to four Lingxu realm puppets, he also obtained a large number of supernatural realm puppets.

The combat effectiveness of the supernatural realm puppets also ranges from high to low. Among them, the nine most powerful ones are named [Wang Zongyi] to [Wang Zongjiu] according to the generation of the word "Zong", while the weaker ones are named from [Royal Family One] to [Royal Family Nine], and several others named [Wang An Yi] to [Wang An Six].

Some of the main talkers or important managers in the Wang family's industry will be assigned some puppet guards.

The quality of the puppets produced by the Shenwu Dynasty has always been excellent.

Wang Zongjiu's fighting ability is relatively powerful even compared to monks in the magical realm. Let alone a mere county king, even a prince will probably not be able to defeat him.

It doesn't take half a day's work.

Wu Yong, the steward of Prince Jiajun's palace, was arrested, and those who dared to obstruct and resist were also arrested.

Fortunately, Prince Jiajun was smart enough to know that he had hit a brick wall, so he immediately ran to the canal fleet to apologize in person, regardless of his face: "I wonder which Prince of the Wang family Wu has offended? I hope you have a lot of them. Let Wu go this time~~"

As he said that, he also sent someone to deliver a whole box of purple gold tickets.

"I am Wang Guangchao, the fourth eldest son of the Wang family, and my father Wang Zongchang." Wang Guangchao's voice spread far away, "I was entrusted by the family to transport a batch of strategic materials to Lingyun Holy Land, but I didn't want to encounter this person. Wait for something bad to happen.”

Royal Chaonai is the backbone of the family, and he is in charge of the production of Wang's new armor this time.

He is only a hundred, sixty or seventy years old now, but he is already in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, and is the fourth planned cultivation sequence in the family.

There are not many people in the Wang family's "Shou" and "Zong" generations, but the family business is getting bigger and bigger. Under this circumstance, people like him who are relatively high in the "Shi" generation have now become the backbone of Wang's industry, and quite a few of them already hold great power.

Even within the Wang family, the status of the royal family is extremely high.

King Jiajun was even more chilled in his heart, and he instantly realized that this time he had really kicked a big iron plate.

This is the fourth son of the Wang family! As far as he knew, the current Wang Guangzhao in the court, who was known as the "Little Pavilion Elder", was the third eldest son of the Wang family!

There is not much age difference between the two, and they grew up together, so they must have a good relationship.

King Jiajun gritted his teeth and continued to lower his posture and beg for mercy: "Please, Fourth Young Master, for the sake of Princess Yiluo, give me a thin plate."

"For your face, you'd better go to His Highness Di Zian to ask for it. I can't afford it." Wang Guangchao sneered, "Wang Xiaohu, collect the criminals and their confessions and send them to Guilong City for His Highness to decide personally."

"Yes, Fourth Young Master."

Wang Xiaohu immediately accepted the order and left. Before leaving, he glared at Prince Jia coldly, feeling quite disdainful in his heart.

As an old man among the royal family, to do such a thing is simply an embarrassment to the royal family.

When Prince Jia saw this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his expression was extremely depressed, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.

He knew that he was finished now~

It would be better if this matter was not brought to light, but once it was brought to light, Di Zian would never let him go. Not only is he finished, but even his whole family will be implicated.

Next to them, the boss of the ship owner and the crew, who had watched the entire incident unfold, were shocked and felt as if they were in a dream.

Who would have thought that the water bandit Roadhog who had been running rampant in the canal for many years would be punished so easily? Is this still the extremely arrogant water bandit Roadhog in their minds?

For a moment, their eyes looked at Wang Chao with awe.

After dealing with this episode, Royal Chao continued to lead the fleet.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. The fleet sailed in a low-key manner and quickly arrived at its destination.

It was a small, remote port. In the port, there were already experts from the Holy Land leading troops to support them. They unloaded the goods from the big ship, transported them by water to land, and headed all the way to the mountains.

It took a long time for them to finally reach the gap in the boundary defended by Da Gan.

It is this ferocious gap in the realm, and I don’t know how many great troops have been buried in it, and I don’t know how many heroes have died for it.

In the realm fortress, Commander-in-Chief Wang Liyao personally came out to greet them: "Shi Chao, you have worked hard this time to escort these treasures all the way."

"Third aunt." Wang Guangchao returned the favor hurriedly, "It's just a trivial matter, how can it be hard? But you have shouldered too much weight on your shoulders. You are really a role model for our descendants."

"You and I just have different divisions of labor. Let's not chat for now. I'll confirm the cargo list first. If there are no problems, I will hand it over to you first." Wang Liyao was in a good mood when she saw her nephew. "Now that the handover is over, Third Aunt will invite you again." eat delicious food."

After the pleasantries, the two parties began the formal handover.

Wang Guangchao introduced: "This batch of treasures, in terms of high-end armor, is the newly produced [Heaven Realm Mysterious Armor], with a total of 1,200 pieces, and [Purple Mansion Realm Mysterious Armor] ninety-five pieces."

"In addition, it is the [Simple New Black Armor] produced based on the actual situation of our Daqian. This batch totals 100,000 sets, 100,000 sets of new hand-held shotguns, and corresponding ammunition. The follow-up production is still being stepped up, and it is expected to be one year later. I can send you another batch.”

Compared to the Heavenly Realm armor, Wang Liyao is obviously more concerned about the simple new mysterious armor and hand-held shotgun. Daqian is different from the Immortal Dynasty and the Demon Dynasty. Even in the army on the battlefield outside the territory, there are a large number of Qi Refining Realm monks.

In a real battle situation, it often takes more than ten or twenty Qi-training realm soldiers to form a battle formation to barely defeat an ordinary extraterrestrial demon. After a fierce battle, the damage ratio is often more than ten to one.

To put it bluntly, Daqian's defense for thousands of years was built entirely on human lives.

After checking the simple new black armor and handheld shotguns, Wang Liyao breathed a long sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, with this batch of armors and shotguns, the casualty rate of our Qi Refining Realm soldiers will be greatly reduced. , the enemy-killing efficiency will also be greatly improved.”

After previous tests, soldiers in the Qi Refining Realm who wear this simple new type of black armor made of black iron and crocodile skin will not be easily killed by one blow and can take many more hits.

This is a qualitative transformation.

The only small problem is that this simple black armor is also expensive to make, costing almost tens of thousands of gold.

In the past, Daqian could not afford the equipment.

How much is the pension for a Qi Refining Realm soldier?

When you are poor, life is really worthless.

"Third Aunt, you'd better take a look at the ten [National Artifacts] I brought this time." The royal family opened a large oilcloth as if they were offering a treasure, and a huge cannon was immediately revealed in front of Wang Liyao.

Its barrel is dark and thick, with a caliber of nearly three feet, and a muzzle length of four to five feet. The black muzzle exudes a strong pressure, making people tremble with fear at the first sight. .

"Fourth Grandpa personally named it [Wang's Giant Cannon]. The barrel is made of dark iron and high-grade spiritual alloy. The key parts are also made of higher-end alloys. The base counterweight is forged by Wang himself. Made of steel alloy, the total weight of a single giant cannon, including the base, reaches hundreds of thousands of kilograms!"

"The most important thing is its cost. The cost of each door reaches 100 million immortal crystals! It's not dry gold, it's immortal crystals!"

One hundred million immortal crystals is equivalent to approximately ten billion dry gold.

If Di Zian saw these tens of billions, he would probably faint from excitement.

But the Wang family built ten gates quietly.

Although this also makes Wang's cash flow become stretched, but so what?

As the saying goes, "Truth only exists within the range of a cannon." Without strength, you can only be at the mercy of others. As long as the money is spent on increasing strength, it is not a waste.

This time, these ten Wang's giant cannons are one of the keys to "Operation Spring Thunder".

The royal family was so excited that they really wanted to witness the majestic scene of Wang's cannon dominating the battlefield.

…
