Chapter 772 Battle of Luoyang (Part 1)
"Hmm." Seeing Shen Luoyan facing his attack without any intention of dodging, the old man's face changed. The stick that was originally attacking Shen Luoyan's head immediately retracted its force and changed direction to hit Shen Luoyan's left shoulder. Shen Luoyan was specifically designated by Li Mi to be captured alive. If he died in his hands, Li Mi would have a hard time explaining it.
But at this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared on Shen Luoyan's body, and then his figure immediately rushed towards the old man with the stick. This sudden change made the old man strengthen the strength of the stick in his hand, and then he heard a loud bang. The old man immediately found that the stick in his hand seemed to hit something indestructible. The recoil force from the stick made the old man take a step back involuntarily.
But at this moment, a sharp sword energy suddenly appeared in the old man's sight. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his left eye, and then he knew nothing.
"Old Mei."
This sudden change made all the people surrounding Shen Luoyan stunned. After a moment, one of the people who woke up shouted.
This old man is not an unknown person, but a famous old master of the Nanhai School, Mei Tian, who once survived the fight with the Song clan. As a result, he accidentally capsized in the gutter here with Shen Luoyan.
"Stop her."
The people around were stunned, but Shen Luoyan was not stunned. His figure immediately turned into a golden light and rushed towards Wang Bodang in front. Wang Bodang looked at the fallen Mei Tian and immediately retreated in panic. At the same time, he ordered the four guards around him to stop Shen Luoyan.
In terms of martial arts, Wang Bodang is actually the same as Shen Luoyan. Shen Luoyan's martial arts and swordsmanship are listed in the list of extraordinary skills, and his soft spear is the same. Under normal circumstances, if the two fight, it is difficult to tell the winner in a short time.
However, because Mei Tian was in the middle of the situation, he didn't understand what was going on until he died, but Wang Bodang saw it clearly. After Mei Tian's stick hit the golden light on Shen Luoyan, it bounced back immediately.
Although Wang Bodang didn't know what the golden light on Shen Luoyan was, he would not put himself in danger as he was concerned about his own life.
Dangdangdang.
Shen Luoyan rushed towards Wang Bodang, looking at the four guards of Wang Bodang who were blocking her and Wang Bodang, and had no intention of dodging. She let their weapons fall on the golden light on her body, knocked the four people away directly, and continued to rush towards Wang Bodang.
Wang Bodang looked at Shen Luoyan, who had knocked away his guards and had an expressionless face, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold, but at this time there was no way to retreat. At this extremely critical moment, Wang Bodang calmed down instead, holding the special fine steel soft spear with both hands, and stabbed Shen Luoyan who was rushing forward in the chest.
Although Wang Bodang was not a good man, he had been through many battles and had some vision. From what he had seen before, he had roughly deduced the characteristics of the golden light around Shen Luoyan. It happened that he was using a soft spear. As long as he made good use of the characteristics of the soft spear, he could completely avoid Shen Luoyan's attack and then deal with Shen Luoyan.
However, although Wang Bodang's idea was very good, it was a pity that Shen Luoyan seemed to see through it. Just when his soft spear was about to pierce the golden light on Shen Luoyan's body, Shen Luoyan's speed seemed to suddenly become faster, and he avoided Wang Bodang's soft spear by a millimeter.
"Wait, uh."
Seeing Shen Luoyan avoid his soft spear, Wang Bodang was scared and wanted to say something, but unfortunately, before he could spit out a word, Shen Luoyan's dagger had pierced his neck.
The severe pain in his neck made Wang Bodang let go of the soft spear in his hand at the first time. He covered his neck with both hands, his eyes were full of fear, and he looked at Shen Luoyan and wanted to say something, but probably because his neck was pierced, he didn't say a word.
A sword pierced Wang Bodang's neck, Shen Luoyan drew out the short sword, and did not even look at Wang Bodang, but used his body skills to flee towards the nearest west city gate.
"Shen Luoyan."
When Shen Luoyan just used his body skills, the head of the Nanhai School, Mei Xun, rushed over with a roar. If someone else from the Nanhai School died, Mei Xun might not be so angry, but Mei Tian, the Qimei Gun, was his grandfather. At this time, Mei Xun had forgotten Li Mi's order in his heart and wanted to kill Shen Luoyan directly to avenge his grandfather.
But unfortunately, although Mei Xun's martial arts were much stronger than Shen Luoyan, he was far behind Shen Luoyan in speed. When he roared, Shen Luoyan had already rushed out of the street.
Now Shen Luoyan has used the magic talisman. In terms of speed, let alone Mei Xun, even the master who is good at speed will find it difficult to catch up with her in a short time.
"Shen Luoyan." Shen Luoyan really exploded suddenly, making Li Mi's face gloomy in an instant. The next moment, he immediately picked up a large bow on the side, drew the bow and put the arrow, and the arrow pierced through the powerful true energy, leaving a long trace in the air like a meteor.
Bang.
The arrow hit the golden light on Shen Luoyan's body and exploded into pieces in an instant. However, what shocked Li Mi was that this arrow carrying his whole body's true energy did not cause any harm to Shen Luoyan.
"Mr. Mi, from today on, we are no longer friends."
After leaving this sentence, Shen Luoyan rushed out directly from the west gate. Li Mi was probably too conceited and thought that Shen Luoyan would never escape. When he took action, he did not even close the gate.
"Chao Lao, what is that?" Although Shen Luoyan's escape was far beyond Li Mi's expectations, he was a great hero after all, so he quickly regained his composure and asked Chao Gongcuo beside him about the situation just now.
"I don't know either. It may be some secret method. It shouldn't last long. She is your military advisor. Don't you know?" Chao Gongcuo is a master of the older generation. Although he has never seen the talisman, he still guessed part of the truth.
"Humph."
Chao Gongcuo's words made Li Mi's expression, which had just recovered his calmness, gloomy again. Li Mi didn't like Shen Luoyan very much, especially when he heard about Shen Luoyan's strategizing outside. That is, when Li Mi first entered Wagangzhai, he reused Shen Luoyan in order to win over the hearts of the people and win over Xu Shiji.
After becoming rich, he began to show his true colors and began to marginalize Shen Luoyan. He either ignored Shen Luoyan's proposals or deliberately adopted the opposite strategy, as if trying to prove that he was better than Shen Luoyan.
If he was willing to listen to Shen Luoyan's strategy, he would not have ended up so miserable in the original book. Whether it was the strategy of attacking Luoyang or joining the Li family, Li Mi did not listen to Shen Luoyan, but this is normal. Not to mention this era, even in modern society, if a woman is too strong, many men will be unhappy, let alone this era.
Let alone Li Mi, most of Li Mi's subordinates have almost the same idea.
"Lu Lao, I'll trouble you with the training of the mechanical beasts next. And Xiaozhong, you will be in charge of the mechanical beast team for the time being. Wait until Ziling comes back and see if he is interested."
After arriving in Luoyang, Shen Fei used his free time to use the surgery fruit to make a lot of mechanical beasts. After all, a war is about to happen, and it is definitely too late to expect to cultivate a group of mechanical masters to make mechanical beasts.
When Shen Fei couldn't find anyone for a while, he thought of Shuanglong.
"This is simply a weapon of war."
Kou Zhong looked at the majestic mechanical white tiger and the earth-breaking Saburo, and immediately rushed over with his eyes shining. Zhu Yuyan, Qianqian, Xu Xingzhi, You Chuhong, Sha Tiannan and others looked at the rows of mechanical beasts with shock.
Mechanical white tiger, earth-breaking Saburo, mechanical Suzaku, mechanical bat, and mechanical black tortoise, except for the mechanical blue dragon, Shen Fei made a lot of others.
This time, Shen Fei also brought a lot of people from Luoyang noble families who came to him. There is no way to keep the mechanical beasts secret. After all, they are going to the battlefield. In this case, it is better to show them directly, let people know his strength and enhance their confidence.
Among these people, some know some of Shen Fei's true strength, but some still know nothing.
"Old Sha, take a look at what weapons can be equipped on these mechanical beasts. Of course, firearms are the best." Sha Tiannan is the head of the Sha family and an expert with considerable attainments in firearms.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will do my best." If Sha Tiannan had doubts about whether Shen Fei could unify the world before, then after seeing these mechanical beasts, all doubts immediately dissipated.
"This thing is in the sky. If something goes wrong, it will be finished." After knowing the function of the mechanical Suzaku, Kou Zhong asked immediately.
"Don't worry, unless it is completely destroyed directly, even if something goes wrong, it can be slowly brought down with the help of wind power, and there are also precautions."
Strictly speaking, the safety of the mechanical Suzaku is higher than that of modern aircraft. First, it does not fly as high as an airplane, and second, the wings on both sides of the mechanical Suzaku are completely made of bird feathers. There are hundreds of parts. As long as half of the wings are not lost at once, the wind in the air can be used to cushion the landing.
While Shen Fei introduced the situation of the Mechanical Suzaku to Kou Zhong, Qian Qian and others, he took out several black umbrellas from the Mechanical Suzaku. These umbrellas were specially made and very strong. They could completely bear the weight of a person. With the help of this umbrella, if you have a certain strength, you can float down from the sky safely.
After all, the Mechanical Suzaku is not a passenger plane, but a military mechanical beast for reconnaissance or attack from the air.
"Do you want to learn how to drive it?"
"Of course."
This is flying, Kou Zhong is naturally very interested, and Qian Qian is also very interested, so Shen Fei personally drove the Mechanical Suzaku and took the two of them to fly. What kind of teaching is faster than actual combat?
"This is simply a reconnaissance artifact, Brother Shen, it belongs to me."
Above Mangshan, after Kou Zhong discovered the function of the small single-tube retractable telescope, he took it for himself as soon as possible. Telescopes had not yet appeared in this era.
Although the eyesight of masters is much better than that of ordinary people, it is still far worse than telescopes.
"Take it." Shen Fei naturally didn't care about a mere telescope.
"Miss Qingxuan, I'll trouble you with the things here for the time being."
In the workshop of Datang Daily, Shen Fei explained every step in detail to Shi Qingxuan. The establishment of a medical school is not a matter of one day or one night. Before that, Shen Fei found a job for Shi Qingxuan. It happened that all the people in Datang Daily's workshop were palace maids.
Shen Fei did not want to use eunuchs, and the palace maids in the palace were also not needed. However, it was too cruel to drive them away, especially those who were older. Therefore, those who were willing to go home were all given severance pay and left.
The rest who were unwilling, or more accurately, had no way to leave, were also arranged with corresponding work.
Shi Qingxuan had no interest in such things, but after knowing what Shen Fei did in Luoyang, such as wanting to abolish the profession of eunuchs and not wanting three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, she agreed.
It happened that there was room for Shi Qingxuan to play in Datang Daily, that is, to publish some medical knowledge on it. Of course, this was not free, but there was a corresponding fee. Even if Shi Qingxuan did not want it, Shen Fei had to give it. This was the rule.
Shen Fei even started to solicit articles, but unfortunately, although it was not that no one submitted articles, no one was to his liking.
"You are back, you have worked hard."
"I am you, what is hard work, well, I will not tell you the details, check it out yourself."
Duan Lang said, putting the Fire Scale Sword and two space rings in his hand aside, and then immediately made a seal and disappeared. The next moment, Shen Fei's mind immediately flooded with Duan Lang's experience during this period.
"Although Jie Hui is a lick dog, he is still very courageous. But in this way, the tax issues can be made public in the newspaper."
While checking Duan Lang's experience, Shen Fei picked up the wealth stored in the two space rings, which was enough for him to carry out the next plan. Thinking of this, Shen Fei immediately made a seal, and a wooden shadow clone appeared from his body.
"The Great Ming Master? That's easy. If Bi Xuan attacks me, can I kill him?"
"Then kill him. By the way, don't forget about the Xiang family."
"Don't worry, this time we will definitely kill the Xiang family."
"Today's big news, the grudges between Song Que, Fan Qinghui and Jie Hui."
The rare big news made today's Tang Daily sell out. The content said that Fan Qinghui and Jie Hui had been plotting against Song Que decades ago, which made countless people gasp. Especially after seeing Jie Hui's plan, many people found that it was not impossible to kill the Grand Master under the right conditions.
"This Fan Qinghui is really amazing. Didn't it just come out a while ago that the bald donkey dared to compete with the poor Taoist for the nun? Now even Jie Hui and Song Que are related to her. How many people do you think she is related to?" Someone in a restaurant in Luoyang said with lingering thoughts. From his appearance, he seemed to want to get involved.
"Keep your voice down, Jingnian Zen Temple is just outside Luoyang. If they hear you, you're done." Someone in the restaurant whispered.
"What are you afraid of? They dared to do it, but I dare not say anything. If you have the guts, just kill me. They are a bunch of traitors. I will be afraid of them."
"That's right. Didn't you see what's said above? The reason why the taxes on the people of the world are so heavy is because those bald donkeys occupy a lot of land but never pay taxes."
