Chapter 721 Don’t Lie to Me

"Boom!"

The earth-shaking roar spread over dozens of miles.

The shock was earth-shattering, with thick smoke and dust everywhere.

The countless masters and elite soldiers of the rebels chasing behind were buried in the valley.

At the same time, as the valley was buried by the explosion, the only passage was also buried, blocking the pursuers behind. By the time the remaining rebels took a detour, Li Beifeng and others had already disappeared without a trace.

Several carriages galloped past on the desolate official road.

After getting rid of the pursuers, Li Beifeng quickly headed north along the original planned route.

When the rebels caught up again, it was too late!

The Chaoyang County army led by Chen Yannan appeared at the border of the two armies, and then quickly intertwined, and a large-scale battle broke out.

The rebels may never have dreamed that they would encounter the imperial army on their territory. They were caught off guard and fled in a panic, suffering heavy losses.

By the time the rebels came to their senses and sent troops to support them, the imperial army had already been waiting for a long time.

A chaotic battle broke out, extending the war line even longer!

When the chaotic battle broke out, the carriages of Li Beifeng and others had quietly appeared behind the war and headed north!

The plan was successful!

…

In the territory of Nanzhou.

On the official road leading to Beizhou, in a small town.

The town was desolate!

The war was about to spread here, and most of the residents in the town had moved north with their families to escape.

The only inn in the town was now booked.

Several carriages and several elite horses were parked outside the inn!

In the backyard of the inn.

In the lobby, more than a dozen figures appeared.

These dozen figures were either injured or some were so seriously injured that they could hardly stand.

The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, and the breath of surviving the disaster filled the lobby.

In front of the crowd, Zhao Ying, dressed in white, looked at the remaining dozen people in front of him, and his heart sank.

Escape from death!

This battle was extremely dangerous and suffered heavy losses!

When leaving the capital, Zhao Ying drew more than 30 top masters from the Qintian Division.

These more than 30 people are almost all the backbone elites of the Qintian Division. Among these people, the weakest can also be ranked among the top in the world.

Any one of them is a top-level master in the world.

These thirty-something people followed Zhao Ying, starting all the way from the capital, and finally gathered in Chaoyang County, Nanzhou.

Then, countless masters were drawn from the Nanzhou Qintian Division branch, and nearly a hundred people sneaked into the rebel territory of Prince Zhaonan.

In order to protect Zhao Ying and others from retreating, these nearly a hundred masters hid everywhere along the way, blocking countless masters and blocking thousands of troops!

They fought ten to one, and cut a bloody path to escort Zhao Ying, Li Beifeng and others to escape safely.

But at the same time, they also paid a heavy price!

There were nearly a hundred masters of the Qintian Division, but now there are only less than twenty people in front of them.

And everyone was seriously injured, which was horrible to see.

Even the most powerful masters would find it difficult to escape when facing the masters of the sky and earth net and the encirclement of well-trained soldiers and horses.

It was extremely difficult to escape and save one's life.

"Princess, Wang Protector... died!"

A sad voice came from the hall.

The four protectors of the Qintian Division at the beginning were all top-level masters in the world today. But two of them have died this year.

Now the countless elite masters drawn from the capital have also suffered heavy casualties. This is tantamount to a heavy blow to the Qintian Division.

At present, facing the sacrifice of their former comrades-in-arms, the hearts of the survivors are extremely heavy.

This time, they paid too terrible a price!

Even though they had been prepared for it, such a tragic result still made many people dazed.

"Their sacrifice will not be meaningless!"

Zhao Yingqing looked cold, swept his eyes across the crowd, and said in a loud voice: "This time, you all saved Dazhao, you will be Dazhao's heroes, I Dazhao will remember your kindness, will never treat you unfairly, and will not let my colleagues' blood flow in vain!"

"Those who sacrificed, this palace and Dazhao will not forget their kindness. After returning to Beijing, this palace will bury them and arrange to take care of their wives and daughters..."

This time, in order to capture Prince Zhaonan, so many people were sacrificed! More than half of the Qintiansi masters were killed or injured, and they were almost broken.

It is not so easy to train so many first-class masters?

As expected, Qintiansi will probably be in a slump for a long time to come!

But the most important thing at the moment is to appease the remaining people and settle them down.

"I will arrange for someone to pick you up and take you to recuperate. When you are well, you can return to Beijing. I will welcome you in Beijing..."

"..."

Third floor.

Attic room.

Li Beifeng leaned against the balcony, glanced at the scenery outside, retracted his gaze, and looked back into the lobby.

Zhao Ying, dressed in white, could be seen standing there. She was dressed in white and had a beautiful and cold temperament.

He seemed to see the arrogant, proud and confident eldest princess.

In a trance, Li Beifeng sensed a trace of the emperor's aura from her!

Perhaps, she could really become a qualified empress?

Li Beifeng thought to himself.

Now, the plan is finally settled.

They sacrificed so much, and despite the danger of almost death, they finally captured Prince Zhaonan.

Now, the situation has been decided!

The Jiangnan rebels have lost the backbone of Prince Zhaonan and will surely be defeated soon. Once Prince Zhaonan is escorted back to the capital, Jozhao's rebel crisis will soon be resolved.

Even your rebel leader has been arrested, why are you still rebelling?

At the same time, Zhao Ying will definitely have a high prestige in the hearts of people all over the world if she has accomplished such a feat!

Is it only natural for him to ascend the throne and take control of Jokhang at this time?

only……

Li Beifeng squinted his eyes slightly as if he thought of something.

"What are you thinking about?"

At this moment, a meaningful figure came from the side.

Li Beifeng looked sideways, and Zhou Qiuning appeared beside him at some point. She was dressed in a red robe, with snow velvet wrapped around her neck, which matched her skin and made her look particularly handsome.

She glanced at the lobby and then at Li Beifeng, seemingly bored.

"I'm thinking, should the world be at peace?"

Li Beifeng spoke slowly.

"Peace in the world?"

Zhou Qiuning glanced at him: "Why do you say that?"

"Now that Prince Zhaonan has fallen into our hands, the overall situation has been decided!"

Li Beifeng took a deep breath: "I'm afraid it won't be long before the world is at peace, right?"

This rebellion lasted for more than half a year!

It's not long, it's not long, it's not short. It's just that in these days, countless people have been displaced and their families have been destroyed.

The economic losses of Dazhao are even more serious. Once these problems cannot be solved after the war, Dazhao will collapse and completely decline.

"I don't think so!"

Zhou Qiuning raised the corner of her mouth slightly and glanced at him: "In my opinion, the troubled times have just begun!"

"Why?"

"We haven't sent Prince Zhaonan back to the capital yet. It's hard to tell... They won't give up. It won't be safe on the way back to the capital!"

"Furthermore, even if Prince Zhaonan is sent back to the capital and the rebels are defeated, it is not that simple to completely pacify the rebels... Even after all the hidden dangers of the rebels are truly resolved, then you and Dazhao will What about Northern Qi’s grievances?”

Zhou Qiuning smiled half-heartedly, and glanced at Zhao Ying in the lobby, "The relationship between you two has become much more harmonious, but have you thought about how to resolve the grievances between the two of you?"

Li Beifeng looked calmly and did not answer her question.

Zhou Qiuning seemed to see something on Li Beifeng's face, and was startled: "Did you guys reach some kind of agreement?"

"So be it!"

Li Beifeng nodded without explaining much.

"Tsk tsk!"

Zhou Qiuning couldn't help but sigh: "Let me just say, that woman's mouth is a liar. She says she doesn't want it, but her body is still quite honest."

"What about you?"

Li Beifeng suddenly glanced at her and asked, "Aren't you the same?"

"I?"

Zhou Qiuning was startled, as if he didn't expect Li Beifeng to ask back. He blinked for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, and a smile slightly raised from the corner of his mouth.

"If I were honest, would you dare?!"

Facing Zhou Qiuning's burning gaze, Li Beifeng no longer flinched as before.

He looked calmly into Zhou Qiuning's eyes and said lightly: "Why don't you dare?!"

His reaction was beyond Zhou Qiuning's expectation, and a look of panic flashed across her eyes.

Then, she turned her head and snorted: "Sure enough, men are all the same... looking at what's in the bowl and eating what's in the pot?"

"Each other!"

Li Beifeng responded lightly.

He has now seen through this woman's thoughts, so it is no longer so easy for her to tease Li Beifeng again.

Perhaps it was because of his narrow escape this time that Li Beifeng felt a little more at ease. If Zhou Qiuning hadn't appeared to save him and Ying'er this time, I'm afraid something big would have happened before Li Beifeng's plan was laid out!

She saved herself again!

"Right!"

At this moment, Zhou Qiuning seemed to have thought of something and turned to stare at Li Beifeng: "That day... what was it that blew up the entire valley?"

"science and technology!"

Li Beifeng said calmly.

"What is technology?"

Zhou Qiuning stared at Li Beifeng, and the shocking scene he witnessed that day came to mind.

The entire valley collapsed almost in the blink of an eye, and the shocking power could be felt for dozens of miles!

What is that? !

Even though Zhou Qiuning is well-informed, she has never seen such a shock!

Ordinary masters can easily break rocks. If their internal strength is strong to a certain extent, they can indeed cause great damage. Masters like Zhao Ying and Li Suyi can destroy objects several meters in radius with one sword.

But when it comes to the strength that can make the valley collapse in an instant, let alone them, even if the world's top master comes, it is absolutely impossible!

Even if someone who has stood at the top of the world for hundreds of years has taken that legendary step and is rumored to have become a semi-immortal, it is absolutely impossible!

That……

How did he do it? !

In the past few days, she had asked about it along the way, but Li Beifeng simply explained it as the power of technology?

Who is technology?

Where does the power come from?

"Technology refers to things that should naturally appear when human civilization develops to a certain level..."

Li Beifeng said perfunctorily: "About the time from now, and then push it back tens or even hundreds of years, it should be almost there..."

There is no such thing as gunpowder in this world!

Of course, although there is no gunpowder, things like fireworks and firecrackers still exist.

It's just that in this era, no one seems to have discovered that these ordinary fireworks can be used for other purposes.

Even if there is, there is indeed no one who can actually get gunpowder out now!

But now, Li Beifeng has made this thing available in advance!

At first, Li Beifeng didn't want to play with this thing at all. After all, this thing was too dangerous and the risk factor was too high!

Once gunpowder comes out, it will even change the world and the world!

In this era of cold weapons, the emergence of gunpowder is enough to become a dimensionality reduction strike. It can easily change the situation of the war and even change the history of the world!

Once gunpowder appears in the arena, it is enough to cause chaos and reshuffle the arena!

What kind of top-notch master? A top-notch expert? !

No matter how powerful you are, everyone is equal under gunpowder.

What are the eight sects of Jianghu?

Once you have gunpowder, you can easily wipe out your descendants!

The horror of gunpowder is enough to make an ordinary person who doesn't know any martial arts, to a certain extent, equal to you, the best living being in the world!

Therefore, Li Beifeng never thought of taking this thing out. Until the war broke out and the Northern Qi Dynasty was restored. For the sake of world peace, Li Beifeng had no choice. While still in Sunset City, in order to protect himself, he finally decided to find out the gunpowder formula.

It was precisely because of the blessing of gunpowder that he survived the raid in Sunset City.

Now after arriving in Nanzhou, Li Beifeng once again took out the gunpowder for this plan.

Lin Ning and others, who had been lying in ambush in the valley for a long time, killed countless pursuers behind them in the valley in an instant.

But at the same time, this also attracted Zhou Qiuning's attention.

This kind of killer weapon has never been seen before!

Once it appears in the world, it is self-evident what the consequences will be.

Just when Zhou Qiuning was still about to ask something, Leng Buding glanced down the hall and saw everyone dispersed, and a man dressed in white approached.

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it, but..."

Zhou Qiuning glanced at him meaningfully: "I am only slightly interested in this, but she is not necessarily..."

While talking, Zhao Ying came closer.

Zhou Qiuning looked at the two of them meaningfully, turned around and left calmly.

Li Beifeng turned around and saw Zhao Ying approaching.

"Has it been dealt with?!"

"Um."

"This time, the losses were a bit heavy!"

Li Beifeng sighed: "But fortunately, the plan succeeded after all!"

Successfully capturing Prince Zhaonan, while Zhao Ying and her baby in her belly were safe and sound, was the best result for Li Beifeng.

Zhao Ying raised her eyes slightly and stared at Li Beifeng.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

Li Beifeng was a little strange.

"What's that?"

Zhao Ying asked suddenly and abruptly.

A cold tone and a focused gaze.

Li Beifeng was startled, and quickly understood what she was asking, and sighed softly.

"Technological..."

He was about to repeat his explanation when he saw Zhao Ying's eyes were slightly unkind.

"Don't lie to me!"

"..."
