Chapter 265: Even if you try to take advantage of others, you will end up bald someday

Then, the rain began to pour down. The drizzle gradually turned into a heavy downpour, hitting the roof with a crackling sound.

The rain nourishes the earth, the dry rivers begin to flow, and the withered crops come back to life.

The farmers cheered, knowing that the spring rain would bring them hope of a good harvest.

After confirming that Xianyang City had resolved its water shortage, Gongsun Ce, incarnated as a blue dragon, left Xianyang City with rain clouds and began to rain within the Qin territory.

He flew over farmland, spreading rain clouds to every place that needed rain.

Whether it is mountains or plains, whether it is rivers or lakes, they are all full of vitality under the nourishment of this spring rain.

Farmers came out of their homes one after another. They looked at the fields soaked by the rain, their hearts filled with gratitude.

They knew that it was Gongsun Ce, the incarnation of the Azure Dragon, who brought them the spring rain and was the god in their hearts.

Soon, the entire Qin territory was shrouded in rain.

This spring rain not only relieved the drought, but also gave people hope and vitality.

Because Gongsun Ce appeared in the form of a blue dragon, under the influence of a large amount of legendary power, his blue dragon form actually possessed the ability to control the clouds and rain.

Gongsun Ce touched his chin, his dragon whiskers flying wildly. This situation made him sure that there was no problem in taking Ying Zheng as the carrier of the concept of the Ancestral Dragon.

Unification of the six kingdoms → Fengshan at Mount Tai → Spreading the legend of Zulong → Putting the identity of Zulong on Ying Zheng → The concept of Zulong took shape → Harvest
This is roughly the process, but it will probably take a long time for the concept of the Ancestral Dragon to take shape in Ying Zheng, so Ying Zheng cannot die for the time being.

Gongsun Ce could extract concepts from a living person, but the concept of Ancestral Dragon on the dead Ying Zheng would be dispersed. Gongsun Ce would then have to find a way to gather the scattered concept of Ancestral Dragon back, which was time-consuming and laborious.

Moreover, Gongsun Ce originally just wanted Ying Zheng to retire and Fusu to take the throne.

Now it seems that the only way is to find a way to cultivate luck and extend Ying Zheng's life.

Fusu can be the crown prince for a few hundred years. If that doesn't work out, it's also possible to let Fusu remain the crown prince forever.

When Gongsun Ce thought of this, he swung his dragon tail and returned to the Taiwei Mansion.

The drought within the Qin territory was alleviated, but the drought in other areas became more serious.

The source of this drought is that Nüba, representing the origin of drought, has returned to the Qin world, so the drought will cover the entire world.

The grassland in April should be covered with green grass and wild flowers, and it should be a place where countless creatures live and reproduce.

However, this year the sky is exceptionally clear, without a single cloud in the sky, and no clouds in the sky means drought.

The wind on the grassland became wild and violent, whistling across the ground, stirring up gusts of sand and yellow grass leaves.

The originally green grass has now turned yellow.

The wild flowers that once swayed in the wind have now withered, leaving only dry branches and leaves trembling in the wind.

On this withered grassland, the most eye-catching things are the lakes and rivers that have lost their water sources.

The once sparkling water surface has now dried up, revealing the cracked riverbed and muddy mudflats.

The fish that once played in the water have now disappeared, leaving only dead silence.

The animals and plants that depend on water for survival also suffered devastating consequences in this disaster.

There are all kinds of animals living on this grassland.

However, in days when there is a lack of rain, they also have to face the cruel reality.

The wild horses and antelopes that once ran wild on the grassland are now skinny and staggering.

They had to leave this once familiar land and migrate to the snow-capped mountains and the south to find a new place to live.

Snow-capped mountains are the source of the river, so places near the mountains naturally don’t have to worry about water problems.

The reason for moving south was that the Qin territory received rainfall from Gongsun Ce's Longgong and had no shortage of water.

Those animals that cannot migrate can only linger on this withered grassland, waiting for death to come.

There is also a group of herders on this grassland. They have lived here for generations, relying on this land and these animals for their survival.

However, in the days when there is a lack of rain, they also have to face the difficulties of life.

Their livestock died in large numbers due to lack of food and water, and their homes were devastated by the drought.

Therefore, this group of herdsmen decided to go south to plunder.

This group of herdsmen could have many names, Xiongnu, Donghu...

However, in the previous two years, Li Mu, who was guarding Yanmen Pass, plundered the cattle and sheep of the Huns and abducted a large number of Huns to participate in the construction of the Qin Dynasty.

Otherwise, Gongsun Ce’s Confucian palace would not have had its general structure so quickly and would not have been completed.

To put it bluntly, in addition to materials, the more critical thing for ancient architecture is sufficient manpower.

Li Mu initially threw the 60,000 Huns he captured into the construction team of the temporary palace, but it was just a waste of time.

Therefore, Li Mu went out to plunder several times. Although he did not find the Xiongnu royal court, he caused many herdsmen on the outskirts of the grassland to migrate inward.

It can be said that the herdsmen who can survive on the grassland are basically very tough, because those who are not tough enough have died in the winter when there is no food.

However, this time the Huns' southward raid would be a battle that would completely break the backbone of Gongsun Ce.

Because there will be a large number of young people who have just reached adulthood or are even close to adulthood among the Hun army.

The only Huns left on the grassland were the elderly, the weak, women and children. Once this group of Huns were captured, they would not be able to form a decent army for a long time.

Gongsun Ce could then allow Li Mu to search the grasslands at will, capture the old, weak, women and children of the Huns, educate the children, and uproot the roots of Hun civilization.

There will no longer be any Huns on the grassland. There will only be a grassland belonging to the Qin State and a nation belonging to the Qin State.

Before the ability to mass-produce means of transportation, cows and horses were the best means of transportation, and cows and sheep were the best sources of food.

Gongsun Ce initially had the idea of ​​making horseshoes to reduce the loss of horses.

However, after Gongsun Ce obtained the cultivation system of the talisman master in the Ever Night world, and as the power of heaven and earth in the Qin world gradually became stronger, Gongsun Ce changed his mind.

That is to let Qin follow the path of rune technology, that is, to follow the technological path unique to Qin.

The talismans in the Ever Night world can be said to be all-encompassing, and at the same time can replace most creatures such as electrical wires.

However, the technological development in Ever Night is very confusing. After thousands of years of development, the technology is finally as advanced as that of the Tang Dynasty.

This is very similar to Naruto. Chakra and telekinesis are both good at developing technology, but no one has thought of using them to develop technology.

However, Naruto at least has home appliances, but Ever Night does not.

It can be said that all you need is a power furnace that imitates the Soldier Demon God, using true Qi and the power of heaven and earth as energy sources, plus runes as energy conductors. What kind of means of transportation, weapons, and armor can't be made?
The problem is that it is very difficult to become a talisman master. Not many people have the qualifications to practice, and even fewer have the qualifications to become a talisman master.

Unless one becomes a divine talisman master, that is, reaches the realm of knowing destiny, the fighting power of a talisman master is somewhat weak.

However, the mind masters and sword masters can possess strong combat capabilities in the Dongxuan realm.

In this comparison, most people would not choose to become a talisman master unless they have an extremely high talent as a talisman master or have a powerful force behind them.

Practitioners are high above everyone else, and talisman masters are rare in the world. In other words, talisman masters do not need to increase their own value by climbing the technology tree.

Ordinary talisman masters aspire to become divine talisman masters, which is a vicious cycle.

So Gongsun Ce decided to make some simple attempts, such as making Doraemon's air gun. The principle of this thing is somewhat similar to the Word Spirit Yin Lei, so it is easier for Gongsun Ce to get started.

Just as Li Mu and Meng Tian were deploying their troops outside the grassland, Gongsun Ce had already successfully made a simplified version of the air pistol.

In the secret room, Gongsun Ce first took out three pieces of metal: a piece of bronze, a piece of white eye, and a piece of tin.

He placed the three pieces of metal on the flame created on the palm of his right hand and slowly melted them. The golden flames reflected on his face, illuminating his focused and determined expression.

As the metal melted, Gongsun Ce began to prepare the talisman.

He wrote four magic symbols on it in the air: "Pressure", "Condensation", "Release" and "Accuracy".

Gongsun Ce threw the four talismans into the molten metal liquid one by one.

As the talisman was driven into the liquid metal, the liquid metal began to surge and emit a dazzling light.

Gongsun Ce used the power of his soul to guide the metallic liquid to absorb the talisman.

Gongsun Ce poured the liquid metal into the mold that had been prepared long ago.

He made the mold himself, shaped like a small gun barrel.

As the molten metal cools and solidifies, a new finger sleeve gradually takes shape.

This finger sleeve can be worn on the index finger of Gongsun Ce's right hand.

Gongsun Ce put the fingertip on the index finger of his right hand and rubbed it gently.

He felt the power of the talisman perfectly engraved on the finger sleeve.

He smiled slightly, made an eight shape with his right index finger and thumb, and aimed at the target that had been prepared in front of him.

"Biu!" Gongsun Ce said softly, and saw an invisible force shot out from the finger gloves and instantly hit the target ten meters away.

A shallow dent was left on the target, and the surrounding wood cracked from the strong impact.

When Gongsun Ce saw this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the little thing he had just created could barely be considered to have opened the door to rune technology.

Although it was just a simple experiment, it was enough to prove its power.

If this blow really hits a person, there will definitely be a small hole on the person's body.

The power of an air gun is no less than that of a small musket. Although it is not as good as more advanced thermal weapons, there is still room for improvement of air guns.

Gongsun Ce sensed the true energy needed for the air gun to fire an air bullet.

Not much. Even if a warrior is at a third-rate level, his true energy is enough to use an air gun to fire more than a dozen air bullets.

An air bomb of this power is enough to kill a second-rate warrior, and even a first-rate warrior may be seriously injured if he fails to dodge in time.

Only martial artists who have practiced hard skills can ignore the lethality of air bombs at a first-rate level.

In other words, this thing is a low-profile version of the Word Spirit Yin Thunder, and it consumes less power.

In this way, rune technology has great potential, but Gongsun Ce is still thinking about the next level of transportation.

The mecha model machine that Gongshu Chou had made before was pretty good, except that it moved a little slowly.

After thinking for a moment, Gongsun Ce began to study the means of transportation.

With the magic talisman, it is not difficult to develop a means of transportation similar to an electric car. The difficulty lies in the continuous power supply and braking issues. Telekinesis can control the flying sword. In other words, the flying sword is placed in a shell, and then wheels are placed under the shell, so that it can move.

But the problem is, how can it stop directly, and how can we ensure that people will not be thrown out after it stops directly.

Gongsun Ce activated the Word Spirit·Evolution and began to calculate.

When thinking about the specific talisman module, Gongsun Ce couldn't help but think of the image of Ying Zheng wearing a dragon robe and riding an electric bike.

It's very itchy, and Gongsun Ce finds it very fun.

Gongsun Ce was doing two things at once, deducing the rune module of the rune car and fixing the rune on the seal.

Then Gongsun Ce threw the seal containing the power of the talisman and the model of the air gun into Gong Shu's forge.

The seal and the model machine turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the secret room of the Taiwei Mansion. Not long after, they appeared in front of Gongshu Chou and Master Ban, with instructions attached.

The two "giant pandas" looked at what suddenly appeared in front of them and felt tired.

After working overtime without sleep for this period of time, the two have produced another three Twelve Golden Men.

However, this also made the two of them have frighteningly heavy dark circles under their eyes.

For the two of them, being able to continuously improve their own attainments in mechanical engineering is the top priority.

Therefore, the two of them are both happy and sad, and at the same time, the conflicts between them have been eliminated as their cooperation deepens.

The two of them could be said to have a mutual admiration for each other, so when they saw the new things that Gongsun Ce sent them, they temporarily put down the work of assembling the twelve golden men.

The power in the talisman seal made by Gongsun Ce is not infinite. After the energy is exhausted, the talisman seal needs some time to recharge.

Otherwise, the two would have probably died suddenly instead of having dark circles under their eyes.

"Change the taste?" Master Ban asked Gongshu Dao.

"Then let's change the taste, old man." Gongshu Chou replied with a smile.

Before Li Mu and Meng Tian officially faced off against the Hun army, a batch of air guns were delivered to them.

After Li Mu and Meng Tian tested the power of the air gun, they were both a little frightened.

Although everyone below the Grandmaster is an ant, there are differences in the size of ants.

If a third-rate person can beat a second-rate person, he is already a genius; if a third-rate person can injure a first-rate person, he can be called a genius.

This is also the reason why Xiao Meng caused a sensation after defeating the six elders of Tianzong.

No matter whether the six elders used their true qi or not, no matter what realm Xiao Meng was at.

It was shocking that Xiao Meng, who had just entered the mountains, could defeat the master.

At the same time, this is also a way to create momentum, to create a phenomenon where Tianzong is prosperous and peerless geniuses come uninvited.

Li Mu looked at the dozens of air guns in his hands and decided to take a risk.

The marching styles of Li Mu and Wang Jian are somewhat similar, both of them are steady and cautious, but Li Mu is more adventurous than Wang Jian.

Therefore, even if Li Mu had the upper hand against the Huns, he would not take the initiative to send troops unless he was absolutely sure of defeating all the invading Huns.

Instead, they would consume a wave first and then pursue. As for how to consume, it would naturally be to fire thousands of arrows at once.

Ten thousand arrows fired at the same time kill their fighting spirit, and thousands of troops and horses destroy their life force.

This is a defensive routine, old-fashioned, but very useful.

The soldiers of the seven nations also had shieldmen, while the Huns could only rely on luck to hold on.

After all, the range of a bow and arrow is limited. As long as you are lucky enough, you may not be hit by the arrow when you reach the bottom of the city wall.

In addition to the Zhao army under his command, Li Mu also has some dragon blood warriors under his command. These people are fearless and brave. If someone rides a dragon blood warrior equipped with an air gun to charge.

There is a high probability that a large number of Huns’ lives can be harvested.

There are dozens of air guns, and a third-rate one can fire more than a dozen air bullets.

Dozens multiplied by a dozen will result in at least two or three hundred casualties. If you are lucky, nearly a thousand casualties will not be a problem.

Moreover, Li Mu has many soldiers who possess true Qi, which means that even if the person using the air gun runs out of true Qi, someone else can continue to use the air gun to kill the enemy.

Hundreds or even thousands of people died in just one charge, and the morale of any iron army would be shaken.

What's more, the Hun army had no morale at all. How could a group of people who survived by looting the people have any military discipline?
Meng Tian had the same idea, but he thought he should shoot from behind.

Half a month later, the Hun army took the lead in capturing Meng Tian's location.

Seeing the Hun army coming in full force, Meng Tian was not afraid at all, and his golden fire cavalry was extremely aggressive.

Thousands of golden fire cavalrymen wearing golden and red armor followed Meng Tian in charging towards the 10,000-strong Hun army.

Meng Tian glanced at the guard beside him who was quietly hiding the air gun under the reins, and grinned.

"Kill all the Huns!"

Following Meng Tian's order, the horses of the Golden Fire Cavalry accelerated and rushed towards the Hun army.

The horses' hooves thundered, the dust flew, and they were like a flash of golden red lightning, breaking the tranquility of the battlefield.

However, beside Meng Tian, ​​a group of guards quietly raised their air guns.

The guards were well-trained; their movements were subtle and swift, as if they were blending into the air.

Just as Meng Tian was about to rush in front of the Xiongnu cavalry, his bodyguards quietly pulled the trigger.

A slight sound of breaking through the air was heard, and one air bomb after another hit the throat of the Hun cavalry accurately like a ghost.

Although these air bombs were silent, their power was extremely amazing. They instantly pierced the throats of the Hun cavalry, causing clouds of blood mist.

Because the guards' movements were extremely covert, the Hun cavalry did not even notice how their comrades fell.

They could only see a cloud of blood mist suddenly burst out from their companion's throat, and then he lost his life.

This fear of the unknown quickly spread among the Hun army, and they began to panic, not knowing what would happen next.

"Magic! This must be magic!" someone among the Hun cavalry shouted in horror.

They could not accept this silent way of death and could only attribute this horror to mysterious sorcery.

"What happened?"

"Ah Lang, why did you die?"

"do not want!"

"I don't want to die in obscurity!" Waves of terrified roars erupted from the Hun army, and they began to flee in all directions, trying to escape this terrible place.

There were too many young men and women who had just reached adulthood or were still minors among this group of Xiongnu cavalry, and they simply could not accept what was happening before their eyes.

However, Meng Tian did not give them this opportunity.

He drew his sword and shouted: "The Xiongnu invaded our borders, and they should be punished by heaven! I salute the Emperor! Wind!"

As his shout fell, a strong wind suddenly came from all directions, blowing the dust on the battlefield all over the sky.

"Praise to the Emperor, strong wind!" Thousands of golden fire cavalry shouted in unison.

The Golden Fire Cavalry was like a hurricane, dispersing the tens of thousands of Hun troops.

After the battle, countless corpses and broken limbs were left on the battlefield.

Tens of thousands of Hun cavalry were killed or captured.

Meng Tian stood on the battlefield, looking at the scene in front of him, feeling quite satisfied. His sneak attack tactics were a great success.

There were about two to three thousand Huns captured, and the rest died under the iron hooves of the Golden Fire Cavalry.

With great military achievements, Meng Tian rode his horse and whipped the golden fire cavalry back to the interior of the country.

"Brothers! Great victory! I must take credit for you! Lordship, land, and riches are within reach! Alas!"

Young generals are more flamboyant than experienced and steady generals.

This may also be the reason why both Ying Zheng and Liu Che liked young generals.

“Such a strong power of faith?” Gongsun Ce, who was researching means of transportation in the Taiwei Mansion at the moment, was a little confused.

Gongsun Ce felt that he had not done anything, so where did such a strong power of faith come from?

However, Gongsun Ce did not waste it. Instead, he directed the power of faith towards the statue of the imperial Confucian in the Confucian palace.

With the continuous blessing of the power of faith, the ten-meter-tall statue became more lively. At the same time, Gongsun Ce felt that there was a stronger connection between him and the statue.

Gongsun Ce's spiritual power was released to cover the entire Jiuzhou, and then spread outward.

Then Gongsun Ce saw Meng Tian’s pre-war propaganda. Gongsun Ce smiled and shook his head, saying that Meng Tian was quite a good person.

It was because he was too murderous that he only captured two or three thousand people out of tens of thousands of Huns, which was too few.

However, when Gongsun Ce saw a group of Hun teenagers, he felt that Meng Tian was right.

Making them do hard labor is too inefficient and also wastes food.

As the saying goes, a young boy will eat his father into poverty. It is better for the adult Hun men to do hard labor. They eat less and work more, and they are born with the holy bodies of cattle and horses.

Gongsun Ce then turned his gaze in the direction of Li Mu, who was making final arrangements at this time.

Li Mu kept in mind Gongsun Ce's order - to capture Huns and use them as hard labor.

But when Gongsun Ce saw that the Huns attacking Yanmen Pass were also mostly young men, Gongsun Ce shook his head.

The Xiongnu sheep is about to be plucked bald. Once a nation's men on the battlefield are all young, it proves that they are no longer able to produce enough adult men.

"Li Mu." Gongsun Ce's voice soon sounded in Li Mu's ears.

"General Gongsun, what do you want me to do for you?" Li Mu bowed towards Xianyang.

"Most of the invading Xiongnu are young men, and it is not appropriate to use them as forced labor. We should kill as many as we can.

After killing all the Huns in this wave, I will ask Bingzhu and Xiang Yu to come. They will help you find the Huns' grassland royal court.

After finding the Xiongnu royal court, we will directly wipe out the Xiongnu and bring back the cattle, sheep and horses. We will kill the Xiongnu Chanyu who should be killed. If the soldiers like Xiongnu women, we will tell them not to force them. "

"Yes! I obey your command." Li Mu saluted with his fists clasped.
