Chapter 31 The Archmage’s Choice (please read it!)

Taisun Mansion, Star Observation Tower.

Zhu Xiongying sometimes looked at the stars in the sky, sometimes bent down and drew something.

There are two blueprints, one of which looks like a weapon blueprint.

The shape of the machine is sluggish and heavy. The head of the machine is as sharp as a spear head. There are several layers of multi-blade-shaped appendages at the end of the machine, which are like densely knotted branches. The longest appendage is 60 cm and the shortest is 25 cm. The length of the shaft is 5 meters, and the head and shaft are evenly spaced.

Made of iron.

This thing is called the Langzhen, and it was a weapon for destroying the Japanese created by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in later generations.

In addition, Zhu Xiongying also drew a military formation diagram based on memory.

A team of ten, consisting of a squad leader, a knife player, a wolf spear player, a long gunner, and a boring and palladium player.

It's called the Yuanyang Formation.

After doing this, Zhu Xiongying stood up, stretched out, and walked to the observatory, where the night wind howled.

I have to say that as soon as spring comes, the weather gets warm immediately.

At least you don't need to cover yourself with a quilt when exercising. Covering yourself with a quilt really affects your performance.

The observatory is a three-meter-wide balcony extending from the floor.

At a glance from here, one can overlook most of the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Most of the lights in the huge Yingtian Mansion have been extinguished. In this era, there are too few entertainment activities. When it gets dark, the only thing left is to make little people.

And those who don’t have a partner can only play with themselves.

"Um?"

Zhu Xiongying looked at a place to the north of the inner city. Based on his vague impression, that mansion should be the Duke of Wei's mansion.

From the table next to him, Zhu Xiongying picked up an inch-long round bamboo. This was Zhu Xiongying's homemade telescope. The structure was rough and the viewing distance was very limited.

After all, there was no telescope in this era, so Zhu Xiongying had nothing to do and used simple principles to make a backup.

With his left eye closed and his right eye staring at the bamboo tube, Zhu Xiongying saw a woman walking in front of the gate of Wei Guogong's mansion, another woman following behind, and three or four servants following behind.

Stay up late at night and lead the girl and servants around?

This is not like Xu Miaojin's style.

Women in the Ming Dynasty were still very conservative, especially ladies from well-known families. They usually stayed close to home, let alone at night.

"Xiaobao."

Shout out.

Eunuch Xiaobao, who was waiting at the entrance of the stairs, ran out quickly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

"Check what happened in the Duke of Wei's mansion today."

Zhu Xiongying put down the bamboo tube and added.

"Don't let anyone know."

Xiaobao nodded repeatedly.

After Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, he picked up the bamboo tube and took a look. Xu Miaojin had already entered the house and returned to the boudoir in the small courtyard, out of sight.

Then he stopped looking and continued to watch the stars seriously.

The main observation target is to the north. In addition to the Sirius star, there are also several stars shining with a faint red light. Count them, there are exactly nine.

Corresponding to the nine great fortress kings of the current northern border of Qin, Jin, Yan, Dai, Su, Liao, Qing, Ning, and Gu.

It has to be said that the butterfly effect did change a lot of things. Zhu Xiongying vaguely remembered that not all the nine kings in the original historical trajectory wanted to compete for the emperor.

But now it seems that I am afraid that they all have their own evil thoughts.

Time passes little by little.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

When the fourth hour arrives, it happens to be the fourth quarter of Yinshi, which is four o'clock in the morning.

‘Task 1: Completed’

‘Task 2: Save the dead souls, limited to 24 hours’

'Task 2 supplement:...'

Cultivation of immortality is one of them, and cultivating merit is also one of them.

However, Zhu Xiongying was so sleepy that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting. He didn't look at task two carefully at all. The moment he heard "completed", he fell directly onto the bed and fell asleep.

The next day.

The wind is high and the air is crisp, and there are no clouds in the sky.

A tea pavilion ten miles outside Yingtian City.

Early in the morning, there were two people waiting in the tea pavilion, Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu.

Not long after, a group of soldiers came with a carriage.

"stop."

When passing by the tea pavilion, Yang Rong's voice came from the carriage.

When he saw Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu coming to see him off, his face was overjoyed and he quickly got out of the car and came forward to salute.

The three of them sat opposite each other in the tea pavilion, all of them couldn't help but sigh.

Two years ago, the three of them entered the capital together. Two years later, they all have different identities and are about to enter the highlight moment of their lives.

"While I'm away from Beijing, Your Highness will have to trouble you two."

Yang Rong bowed his hands towards the two of them.

When he left Beijing for Shandong, of course he had no way of approving the papers, so he had to rely on Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu.

"Mianren, I am a few years older than you. I have a few words to remind you that you are acting too radically. Although there is an order from the Highness to kill you, after all, there are three envoys from Shandong in charge of Shandong. After you leave, you must be right.

The three envoys are respectful, especially the Shandong Commander-in-Chief. If you want to use troops, you will definitely not be able to bypass him."

Yang Shiqi said.

Yang Rong was silent for a moment and nodded solemnly.

After a cup of tea.

The three of them stood up and bowed to each other.

"Take care of yourself."

Yang Rong turned around and went back to the carriage.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. The three of them subconsciously looked around and saw a mighty general galloping towards him on a white horse. The three of them were stunned. Naturally, they knew the person who was coming. Chang Tianci, the guard general beside His Highness Taisun.

They all had straight expressions and stood respectfully waiting.

"His Royal Highness Taisun's Oral Order."

Chang Tianci reined in his horse, stopped, and said loudly.

Yang Rong immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Gu Yuqing has two drawings. I hope you can make good use of them to destroy the bandits."

After Chang Tianci finished speaking, he took out two long wooden boxes from his horse bag and handed them to Yang Rong.

Yang Rong held it up with both hands and took it from Chang Tianci.

But I have doubts in my heart, drawings?

What is it used for?

No matter what, just take it first and then talk about it.

"I am determined to pacify the Japanese pirates and live up to His Highness's kindness!"

………………

Forbidden City, Fengtian Palace.

The Shangbao Department of Honglu Temple, the Jiaofang Department of the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of Guanglu Temple, etc., are all making arrangements in an orderly manner.

Wait until everything is arranged.

When the auspicious time comes, the ceremonial department plays drums.

Lao Zhu, dressed in royal robes, slowly walked out under the awed eyes of officials outside the palace and entered the Fengtian Palace.

All the officials bowed their heads and did not dare to look at the emperor.

But Zhu Xiongying, whose eyes were drooping due to severe lack of sleep, could tell something was wrong. Lao Zhu's left foot was obviously not smooth, and his left hand was always hanging down.

Had a stroke.

Zhu Xiongying glanced at the crowd behind him from the corner of his eye. Although the envoys of the kings had their heads lowered, their eyes were fixed on Lao Zhu's back, each one thoughtfully.

Zhu Xiongying glanced at these people indifferently, then turned around and followed Lao Zhu into the palace.

Ah Ben was originally going to attend, but it was said that after seeing Zhu Xiongying yesterday, he vomited three buckets of blood that night, and his body really didn't allow it.

Then the royal family members followed Zhu Xiongying. Among them, Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Yunwen fixed their eyes on Zhu Xiongying, wishing they could kill Zhu Xiongying on the spot.

For these two people.

From beginning to end, Zhu Xiongying didn't even look at it.

He still had nine of his mantra powders left, so it would only take a few minutes for the werewolf to self-destruct.

Zhu Xiongying was just deciding whether to lock Zhu Shangbing up and wait and see, or simply kill him directly.
