Chapter 184 Dragonblood Warrior, Fearless of Death
Guo Kai was very happy now. In addition to the box of treasures given to him by Gongsun Ce, King Qian of Zhao also rewarded him with some treasures because of his efficient work.
Guo Kai was alone, pulling two heavy boxes of jewels, slowly heading towards his treasure house.
In the night, his figure looked very embarrassed, but the excitement and caution in his eyes could not be concealed.
After all, he was a civil official who had never practiced martial arts, so his physical strength was very poor.
Dragging two boxes of treasures was a little difficult for him, but he would not stop to rest, because every treasure was as precious to him as his hard work.
The reason why Guo Kai did not ask his servants for help was because he did not trust them.
In this chaotic world, he is well aware of the greed and cunning of human nature.
He was worried that his servants would embezzle the treasure or announce to others that he owned a treasure trove, thus causing unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, whenever Guo Kai obtained any treasure and wanted to put it into the treasure house, he would do it personally to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Guo Kai walked through the long corridor and finally arrived at the door of the underground treasure house.
He took a deep breath and opened the heavy iron door with trembling hands.
Behind the door was a deep staircase that led directly underground. Guo Kai walked down the stairs carefully, every step he took seemed like he was stepping on a knife edge, for fear of disturbing something.
When he came to the underground of the treasure house, the scene before him made him feel extremely satisfied.
The entire secret room was filled with boxes of all sizes, and each box was filled with priceless treasures.
In the dim candlelight in the basement, the treasures in the boxes sparkled brightly.
Guo Kai looked at these treasures greedily, with excitement flashing in his eyes.
He seemed to smell the scent of money, and that smell made him feel extremely intoxicated.
He reached out and gently stroked the boxes beside him, feeling the sense of security they brought.
After Guo Kai reclassified the treasures according to their value and the size of the wooden boxes, he prepared to leave the underground secret room.
However, just as Guo Kai was about to leave the underground secret room, something strange happened.
All the boxes suddenly floated up, as if a mysterious force was controlling them.
These boxes floated upward along the entrance of the underground secret room and were about to escape from the secret room.
Guo Kai was horrified when he saw this. He roared and pounced on a box, trying to use his strength to stop them from flying away.
However, the force on the box was extremely strong, as if a huge force was pushing him.
Guo Kai was bounced several meters away and fell heavily to the ground.
He struggled to stand up, his eyes full of unwillingness.
He lunged at the boxes again but was mercilessly bounced away each time.
Watching the boxes moving further and further away, Guo Kaixin felt as if a knife was cutting his heart, but he was powerless to do anything.
"No! My treasure! My everything!"
Guo Kai roared at the top of his lungs, but his voice echoed in the empty secret room and sounded extremely desolate.
Guo Kai sat on the ground, panting, watching the boxes move farther and farther away until they disappeared from his sight.
He felt a deep despair and helplessness, as if the whole world had abandoned him.
Guo Kai did not notice that before Gongsun Ce left with the box of treasures he had given him, Po Tu Qilang fell out of the box.
After Po Tu Qillang left the wooden box, he quietly left Guo Kai's residence and approached the gate of Handan city.
Guo Kai didn't know how he walked out of the secret room or how he returned to the room.
He only knew that he had lost everything and everything was in vain.
At this time, high in the sky, Gongsun Ce looked at the wooden boxes in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, "Wow! Guo Kai is so greedy."
He thought those county magistrates were greedy enough, but he didn't expect that Guo Kai was greedier than all of them combined.
The equipment in those county governor's mansions was basically one or two boxes of rare treasures, a small amount of gold, and a pile of Qi's knife coins.
The value of a currency is not only linked to the country's economic situation, but also to national strength.
Therefore, the currency with the highest value at present is the Qin Banliang and Qi’s Daobi.
However, there was no currency at all in Guo Kai's boxes. Instead, they were filled with pearls, gems, agates... and other precious items.
Xue Ji looked at the open wooden boxes in front of her and was also a little surprised, "Is General Gongsun robbing the national treasury?"
Gongsun Ce waved his hand to disperse some of the fog that blocked the view below, and then Xue Ji saw Guo Kai's mansion below.
"Worms!"
The Snow Girl cursed angrily, saying that there was a drought in the village when she was a child, so the village decided to sacrifice a young girl to quell the disaster.
The village chief had originally chosen a candidate, but the other party's family was quite wealthy, so after taking the money, the village chief changed the candidate to the Snow Girl.
The villagers were ignorant. In their eyes, being born with white hair was a bad omen, so the Snow Girl was sacrificed by the villagers, but she luckily escaped death.
“There are three kinds of officials: the first kind is honest and incorruptible, never accepting bribes and always serving the people.
Second, although accepting bribes and doing things for the people is not advisable, it is at least doing something.
Third, accepting bribes, doing nothing, stirring up trouble, and doing whatever they want. This kind of person deserves to be killed, but is also the hardest to kill. "Gongsun Ce's calm words fell into Xue Nu's ears, making Xue Nu a little silent. Although she was young, she had a lot of experience and had experienced many vicissitudes and suffered a lot.
Gongsun Ce shook his head, rode the breeze, and returned to Wu'an City.
Seven days later, the State of Zhao sent one hundred horses, one hundred sheep and one thousand Huns to Wu'an, and Wang Jian readily sent Zhao Cong back to Handan.
The one hundred horses sent by Zhao State were strong and would undoubtedly be used as military horses, but Wang Jian could not make the decision on what to do with the one hundred sheep.
Wang Jian was about to ask Gongsun Ce for his opinion, but found that Gongsun Ce was checking the status of the male and female sheep in the flock.
"So conscientious? Half male and half female?"
After Gongsun Ce finished checking, he found that the one hundred sheep in front of him were actually half male and half female.
Half-male and half-female lambs are more conducive to the reproduction of lambs and are more sustainable.
Wang Jian walked to Gongsun Ce's side and heard Gongsun Ce's murmurs. He felt that the gift he gave to Guo Kai was not wrong.
"Captain, what should we do with these sheep and the one thousand Huns?"
Hearing Wang Jian's question, Gongsun Ce replied calmly, "Kill ten sheep and distribute them. I'll deal with the group of Xiongnu. By the way, have you distributed the canned venison? How do you think it is?"
Wang Jian recalled the group of soldiers who praised the canned venison and nodded, "The army has given very good reviews for the canned venison, but they think the quantity is too small."
Gongsun Ce chuckled, "Tell them to eat sparingly, deer are hard to hunt, but new canned food will be delivered soon.
A new batch of canned goods as a reward for the conquest of Handan. Let them prepare, we will soon begin the attack on Handan."
"promise!"
Gongsun Ce's words made Wang Jian smell a hint of blood. As a veteran of many battles, he realized that Handan was about to fall.
Gongsun Ce walked towards the camp where the one thousand Huns were located. It was called a camp, but it was actually more like a sheep pen.
Gongsun Ce walked into the camp and looked directly at the thousands of captured Huns in front of him.
These Huns all looked strong and healthy, but days of imprisonment and hunger had made them look pale and thin, but there was still ferocity in their eyes.
Gongsun Ce looked at them quietly, and then began to recite the dragon text.
Word Spirit Hypnosis
"You are all my servants, Gongsun Ce. You should fight for me through life and death."
"Yes, see you, Master."
Gongsun Ce is about to break through to the Grandmaster level, and his bloodline is getting closer to super S-level under the effect of the blood burst, which is the level of Shadow Emperor. Although the Word Spirit·Hypnosis ranks high on the Word Spirit Table, its power at this time is no longer what it used to be.
Gongsun Ce just made a slight move and changed the will of thousands of Huns in front of him.
Gongsun Ce slowly took out an exquisite medicine bottle from his waist. He gently opened the cap, shook his wrist lightly, and then a few drops of potion No. 4 spilled out.
The next moment, Gongsun Ce controlled the breeze to hold up a few drops of medicine, and then he snapped his fingers.
A few drops of medicine were scattered and fed into the mouths of thousands of Huns one by one.
Before long, thousands of Huns began to undergo changes. Their skin began to turn bluish-gray and tinged with metallic color.
Their muscles, which had sagged slightly from hunger and dehydration, began to swell.
Their eyes gradually became bloodshot, revealing an unprecedented brutality and ferocity.
Their bodies seemed to be filled with endless power, making them want to roar, roar, and swing their fists and feet.
"Roar!"
Gongsun Ce observed all this quietly. This group of Huns adapted well to potion No. 4 and completed the transformation quickly.
Although the amount of medicine used by Gongsun Ce was a little small, it resulted in this group of Huns being unable to achieve an astonishing level of defense and recovery.
But with Gongsun Ce's hypnosis, it was enough to make them charge forward fearlessly and become invincible.
Seven days later, outside Handan city.
The roar of the war drums was like thunder in the sky, and the sound of the horns was like the roar of dragons and tigers.
Wang Jian led an army of 100,000 and swept towards Handan City like a storm.
Leading this large army was a group of Hun soldiers with gray skin as the vanguard.
They were the dragon blood warriors transformed by Gongsun Ce, but the dosage was less, so Gongsun Ce was not sure how long they could be used.
Li Mu looked at the Qin army rolling in, and with his right hand tightly grasped the Zhenyue Sword, he suddenly drew it out, "Get ready!"
Just as the Hun version of the dragon blood warrior approached the city wall, the Zhenyue Sword suddenly fell.
Suddenly, arrows rained down towards the dragon blood warrior.
"Puff!"
Because the walls of Handan were so high, the falling arrows carried powerful kinetic energy. In addition, these dragon blood warriors were not completely transformed and were not wearing any armor at all.
So their bodies were pierced by the Zhao army's arrows. Although they were pierced by the arrows, these fatal wounds were not enough to kill them.
The injuries on their bodies would soon recover to the point where their movements would not be affected. There was no consciousness in their eyes, only the desire to fight.
Li Mu frowned because he discovered that these Huns were the Huns captives that King Zhao Qian sent out in exchange for Zhao Cong.
He boasted of his extraordinary memory, so it was impossible for him to make a mistake. However, it had only been a short time since this group of Huns were sent to the Qin army camp. How could such a big change have occurred?
Li Mu was puzzled.
