Chapter 522 Golden Armor Bronze Guard
During the preparation period, Mirror asked him:
"Are you still going to get involved in this case?"
"The more Fushan refuses to completely hand it over to Lingxu City, that must be the intention of the monarch." He Lingchuan shrugged, "The investigation has reached this point, I have to get the book."
"Why does Chiyan State hold on to this case?"
"Even if you ask Fu Shanyue, he won't tell the truth." Give an explanation to the victims of demons in this country? Hey, just listen.
At this moment, a guard knocked on the door and handed He Lingchuan a letter, saying that it was inserted under the door of the old guest room, so the clerk of the old inn sent it over.
There have been too many letters and gift orders sent to He Lingchuan by the old inn clerk in the past few days. After all, he had just done such a spectacular thing in Baishaguan.
His name, He Xiao, was written on the envelope, and the seal was intact.
He Lingchuan opened the letter and saw a familiar font on it:
Congratulations to the special envoy for surviving from the Dutch Palace.
You have some ability, and I have a love for talents, so I will give you a suggestion:
Get away in time before the case is closed, and don't serve as gunmen for the Fushan family and his son again.
There are gaps in Chiyan and Lingxu City. In the past seven years, Lingxu City has sent Chiyan troops out to fight four times. Chiyan has suffered heavy casualties and heavy burdens. That’s why Chiyan State has to strictly investigate the messenger case. Once something is found out...
Don't think that the prince can protect you.
If Lingxu City is dissatisfied, you may be the first unlucky person.
Signed, not famous.
He Lingchuan knew as soon as he saw the handwriting that it was Mai Xuewen's handwriting.
After this guy swallowed Zhongsun Mou, he didn't rush to escape. He even slipped back to the inn and left a note for him. He was so unhurried and bold.
The mirror also saw it: "The person named Mai has a loud tone, which is really annoying. But what he said is right. We are foreigners and we don't know the inside story of Bejia. Don't work hard for the Chiyan Kingdom, only to be backhanded by Fu Shanyue sold."
After all, Lingxu City and Chiyan Kingdom have a superior-subordinate relationship. No matter how the two sides play the game in the end, the dissatisfaction of the superior usually requires the subordinate to pay a price before it can be dissipated.
Who will pay that price?
He Lingchuan shook his head: "Do you think we can retreat bravely now?"
"Ah, is it too late?"
"It's too late." He Lingchuan lit a fire and burned the letter to ashes. "From the moment I tracked down Cen Boqing, the matter became unsolvable. The water has become muddy."
"Zhongsun Mou is 90% dead, and Cen Boqing is trapped in his own mansion again. Lingxu City, Da Sinong, and the Zhongsun family will all pay attention to how this case was investigated and who investigated it. Oh, maybe now There is a force like Tongxinwei." He Lingchuan said slowly, "Even if I want to let go, I can't avoid it."
"Then, what should we do?" Jing Jing felt bad after hearing this. What kind of behemoths are the masters facing? The father and son of the Chiyan Kingdom behind him didn't know whether they were reliable or not, but they had no foundation in the Bejia Kingdom.
This, this, this, isn't this an egg hitting a rock?
But why is the master so calm?
"If the Lord of Chiyan gives in and throws the case back to Lingxu City, we will be in danger." He Lingchuan smiled, he had thought about these issues before killing Zhongsun Mou, "They will ignore the case, it is very likely Don’t care about me and ignore how Lingxu City deals with me.”
"On the contrary, it is good for me that Chi Yanguo is so determined. In fact, I have repeatedly tested Fu Shanyue several times in my replies. As long as he shows a trace of hesitation, I will leave without hesitation." He said every word. , "Actually, the way to protect yourself is very simple, that is to expose this case to the sun. The more open the better, the more transparent the better!"
In the game between these parties, only openness, fairness, and transparency can prevent others from finding reasons to express their anger.
Jing Jing couldn't help but mutter: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have helped Fu Shan Yue investigate the case."
"How do you know how deep the water is without stepping in?" He Lingchuan hated people who used hindsight. "Besides, I'm probably already in the warehouse."
"What?" Jing Jing didn't understand, "What warehouse?"
However, He Lingchuan refused to say anything and said, "Let's go and build a bronze guard."
He jumped out of this muddy water on his own without any regrets.
He took out the golden armor and bronze guard formula given by Li Qingge.
Compared with the Golden Armor and Bronze Guard formula that he exchanged for military service, Li Qingge's formula uses more streamlined materials and the performance of the finished product has also been improved. After all, more than a hundred years have passed, and there should be improvements in craftsmanship and procedures.
The most important thing is that the new formula also thoughtfully adds a lot of precautions when refining, which is very suitable for him, a dabbler in casting.
Of course, now this formula can be handed over to the caster of Chiyan Palace to execute, and he can just watch by himself.
…
Cen Mansion.
"What, everyone ran away?" Cen Boqing was so angry that he slapped the table after receiving the report from the guard.
With a click, the dining table cracked in half, and the food and drinks fell all over the floor.
He couldn't have eaten it anyway. But when he heard the news that the private house Wu Kai rented was empty, he was still furious.
It turned out that Wu Kai had been ready to escape long ago, not only by himself, but also by taking his family with him.
In the afternoon, Lu Dutong led troops to surround Cen's mansion. Logically speaking, Wu Kai should be the one to coordinate the chariots and horses. As a result, Wu Kai took orders from him and disappeared!
In such a big Cen mansion, everyone searched the house inside and out, and found that the person was missing!
How can you lose such a big living person? No matter how reluctant Cen Boqing was, he could only think that Wu Kai had abandoned his master and fled.
This is really intolerable.
Wu Kai's family of three fled, and Cen Boqing was given a warning:
This is the witness in the case of killing the demon and taking the pearl. It is the breakthrough point of the opponent and the biggest hidden danger around him!
Why didn't he deal with it all the time?
How foolish!
Although Wu Kai is on the run, this is the territory of Fushan Yue. Who can guarantee that he can escape from Chiyan Kingdom smoothly and will never be caught?
Once Wu Kai is caught, then...
Cen Boqing turned and walked out, through the garden and the corridor, until he reached Cheng Yu's residence.
There was a guard still guarding here.
He went in and frowned:
Cheng Yu still had his eyes closed and was sleeping soundly, but his complexion was much better than the day he was injured.
"Didn't he wake up in the middle?"
The guard pointed to the transparent bottle on the table and said, "No. Mr. Cheng said that unless the lantern in the bottle is extinguished, don't uncork it."
Snow was still falling in the bottle, but the momentum had decreased, with only occasional scattered snowflakes falling. Occasionally, a figure flashed in the cabin.
How many days has it been? Cen Boqing said angrily: "Pull it out!"
"Ah, pull it out now?"
The guard was about to touch the bottle, but Cen Boqing regretted it: "Wait, wait!"
"Sir?"
"Let's talk about it after tonight." Cen Boqing was thinking that Cheng Yu had a bad temper. If he woke him up rashly, his recuperation would be interrupted. Would he still be willing to help him?
Wu Kai was meticulous and careful, and this escape was planned in advance. Fu Shanyue might not be able to catch him so quickly.
Seeing that there was almost no snow in the snow-covered bottle, Cheng Yu should wake up, right?
Tomorrow, try again tomorrow. Cen Boqing sighed and walked out with his hands behind his back.
...
In the evening, He Lingchuan walked back to the inn excitedly.
The inn had been booked by the prince, and there was no one except the guards and servants. Fu Shanyue sat on a recliner in the yard to enjoy the cool air. He Lingchuan saw that he was a little unhappy: "What's wrong?"
"We have sent out several groups of troops, searched the whole city twice, and went out of the city to chase, but we still haven't caught Wu Kai's daughter-in-law and grandson." Fu Shanyue put his hands behind his neck, "This guy is really cunning. Well, how is your golden armor guard?"
"As expected of a palace caster, it is much better than upgrading it myself." He made this golden armor bronze man in the Hanhe Army. At that time, the conditions were not good, and he made do with everything. He even borrowed the medicine furnace of Monkey Lingguang. Who would have thought that now he doesn't have to do it himself, and there are master craftsmen from the Chiyan Kingdom who come to Baisha to upgrade him.
You may not be able to hire them even if you have money, so power is really a good thing.
The upgrade process of the golden armor guard itself is not difficult, but it is also a home-cooked braised tofu. It is difficult for ordinary people to make it as good as the one made by the chef in the restaurant.
Every profession has its own specialty.
The height of the released golden armored guards remained the same, but the whole body was covered with purple gold copper armor, and a layer of fish scale soft armor was lined inside, double protection and double safety. He Lingchuan tried it with various weapons, and ordinary swords and guns could not even leave marks on the armor. The fire system magic power only left a black mark. If the Broken Army attribute of the Fu Sheng Knife was not activated, it would take a full six knives to cut through the outer copper armor.
In addition, the joints of the copper guards, such as the knees, elbows, and ankles, were optimized to better conform to the laws of human movement, making He Lingchuan more flexible in controlling the movements.
The foundry worker complained while working, wondering who made the primary copper man so ugly, bad, and clumsy, causing his workload to at least triple.
He Lingchuan was touching his nose and didn't say anything beside him.
As expected of a court foundry worker, he not only helped him repair many old injuries on the copper man that were difficult to heal by himself, but also re-debugged it, and engraved a lot of light body and wind spirit formations on the copper man, making it move faster, attack more accurately, and have a better sense of control.
To put it inappropriately, if the attack and defense capabilities of the golden-armored bronze man made by He Lingchuan are three, the upgraded golden-armored guard is seven.
He Lingchuan played with it for half an afternoon, and then sadly discovered its biggest weakness:
It consumes too much energy.
When it was still a golden-armored bronze man, half a piece of light green black crystal could allow it to work for two hours. If it encountered a fast-paced fierce battle, it would at least take half an hour.
After upgrading to a bronze guard, its appearance is majestic, and its attack and defense have increased a lot, but it costs money to move. A piece of dark green black crystal the size of an egg is not enough to support its activities for an hour.
If it is a fierce battle, haha, a quarter of an hour at most.
At most.
It depends on the rhythm of the battle. If it blocks a few big attacks for the master, it may run out of power. No, it has no energy.
He Lingchuan touched his not-so-full wallet and felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
This is still just a bronze guard. He just accidentally asked about the cost of upgrading to a golden-armored general.
Not counting the labor cost, the price of materials alone is about fifteen times that of upgrading the bronze guard!
