Chapter 676

In the royal palace study, the King of Zhao was painting a landscape painting.

This was a masterpiece one zhang long and three chi high, but at this moment there were only a few mountain peaks on it. The King of Zhao drew a stroke to the east and a stroke to the west, as if scribbling, but the whole landscape was in his heart.

Li Chengfeng stood by and told the whole process of the war one by one.

The King of Zhao did not interrupt throughout the whole process until he finished speaking, and then said: "Wei Yuan mobilized a total of eighty thousand people?"

"Yes." Li Chengfeng's face did not change and his heart did not jump.

But he did not say that if looked at from the Body Forging cultivation, the true elites were the three thousand holding flying sword guns in the front army, the one thousand in the five thousand artillery team, and the five thousand cavalry led by Wei Yuan himself, totaling nine thousand people. Among the rest, fifty thousand were pure civilians, only forged to the Tendon-Muscle Realm.

The King of Zhao finally raised his head and looked at him, saying: "Fifty thousand against eighty thousand, it's normal to lose. Wei Yuan defeated the Kingdom of Rain's millions of troops with weakness against strength; how can it be compared with your small trouble? Do you know now that there are many heroes in the world, and the foundation is not so easy?"

Although he was almost fifty, Li Chengfeng still looked very obedient and said: "Father's teaching is correct."

"Besides those two conditions, what else did Wei Yuan want?"

"Child dared to let Wei Yuan draw once from the 'Phoenix Fire Xiangong Painting' by giving up my own quota."

"Did you draw anything?"

"Child didn't see it very clearly; it should be a handful of moss with soil."

The King of Zhao said: "Where is the painting?"

Li Chengfeng offered the immortal painting. The King of Zhao opened it and took a look, then ordered people to send the immortal painting into the ancestral land treasury to nourish and wait for the next opening.

Subsequently, he said: "Wild things should have no value. Even if he drew a Master Yu Jing spiritual treasure, compared with a Bishui domain, it is far inferior. You handled this matter with wit and handled it very well."

Li Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and broke into a sweat instantly.

The King of Zhao glanced at him and said: "What are you feeling guilty about?"

"Child originally felt guilty that the immortal treasure passed down by the ancestors was desecrated by outsiders, and was afraid of your blame."

The King of Zhao hummed and said: "Who taught you these messy principles? Less mixing with those sour scholars in the future! Hum, desecration? Over the past few hundred years, at least two hundred people of my Zhao family have touched this treasure. How many of them have become talented?"

"Such unfilial descendants are the true desecration. You can use this treasure to preserve the Bishui domain, which is actually not bad."

Li Chengfeng never expected to be praised. In addition to surprise, he knew that he had entered his father's eyes. The only regret was that the King of Zhao himself had high cultivation and even had the possibility of Master Yu Jing. Before he was a hundred years old, he didn't have to think about the throne.

Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng made up his mind that he must not let his father know what Wei Yuan had drawn away.

At this time, he was already recalling in his heart that at the moment Wei Yuan drew it out, phoenix fire was blowing in his face, and most people should not have seen clearly what was drawn out, but some people had different expressions.

Li Chengfeng remembered those three people and prepared to deal with them secretly as soon as he went back, and must not leave any future trouble.

The King of Zhao said again: "My tens of thousands of Great Zhao soldiers cannot stay in a foreign country for too long, otherwise it is easy to chill the hearts of the soldiers. Tens of thousands of catties of silk is not a big deal, you go and handle it in a while. You can use those flying boats for a few more days."

Li Chengfeng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Father!"

The King of Zhao said: "Is there anything else to say?"

"There is one more thing. Child has already recorded the shape, power, formation method, and usage procedures of the weapons used by Wei Yuan this time, and bound them into a book, all on this. Child feels that this thing called a cannon is a war artifact. We need to catch up quickly."

A smile finally appeared on the King of Zhao's face, saying: "It's very good that you can think of this layer. I originally thought that if you couldn't hold the Bishui domain this time, I would let you sit in the position of Minister of Works for a few years after you came back to get familiar with the foundation of the country's operation."

"Now that the domain is still there, you are still the Lord of the Domain. The mineral resources in Gefeng Commandery at the border are rich, and you are also in charge of it. I will give you another quota and equipment for one hundred thousand new troops. You should practice your troops well; it won't be long before we have another battle with Wei Yuan."

"Thank you, Father!"

Azure Void.

Wei Yuan returned in great victory and ordered people to draw a camp next to the Guest-Welcoming Town to place all the Zhao army soldiers. Wei Yuan only gave military tents and building materials, and the Zhao army had to repair the camp themselves.

These Zhao troops were indeed elites. In half a day, they repaired a camp, with strict layout, all kinds of settings, and only sentries, without defense.

Wei Yuan nodded secretly after seeing it, and seeing that these Zhao troops were sensible, he didn't doubt it.

In this battle, there were fifty thousand Zhao army elites, ten thousand died on the spot, thirty thousand were injured, and only ten thousand were intact. And all of these ten thousand people had their armor and military weapons confiscated, and they had no power to fight back in front of the heavy armored soldiers.

Wei Yuan ordered people to send food, and more than a dozen beautiful female disciples from the medical center brought hundreds of apprentices to treat the wounded.

There was actually meat in the food, which was fine. These beautiful doctors in white clothes made the Zhao army soldiers look silly. It turned out that the Azure Void could have such treatment after being injured, no wonder everyone fought to the death on the battlefield.

At this time, Wei Yuan called the Taichu Palace cultivators to identify the properties of that piece of Phoenix Blood Longevity Moss. He only looked at it with the Qi-gazing technique at that time and only knew it was an immortal object. For the specifics, he had to be carefully identified by someone proficient.

As soon as Xu Henshui saw this moss, his face turned green instantly. He carefully leaned over and smelled it lightly, then closed his eyes, and his beautiful little face swayed from green to red, like a drunkard.

Yu Zhizhuo's golden essence bird only dared to look from afar, and letting it get closer was a burst of mourning. Fire overcomes gold, and the divine phoenix is the head of all birds, naturally overcoming the golden essence bird.

However, overcoming is overcoming, and the bird was even more sensitive because of it, grasping the properties of things more accurately.

The Taichu Palace cultivators were all focused. This kind of immortal spiritual Qi derived from top-level divine beasts, even if just felt, was of great help to understanding the heavenly Dao.

Xu Henshui swayed for a long time and suddenly shouted: "I know, this is the main medicine in that ancient prescription!"

"Which ancient prescription?"

"Kunyuan Longevity Pill!"

Wei Yuan felt that the name was familiar. After searching his memory, he remembered that there was indeed such an ancient prescription. He understood its last true meaning inheritance and recorded it in the earthly paradise. One of the three main medicines, in terms of appearance, was such a piece of moss.

The moss in the ancient prescription is longevity meaning, and Phoenix Blood Moss is inclined to immortality meaning. The root meaning of the two is the same, with slight differences in subtle places. But it can indeed be used as the main medicine in the immortal prescription.

Wei Yuan originally thought that the medicinal materials in this ancient prescription were all extinct, so he didn't care much. He didn't expect to get a main medicine today. Speaking of which, the Phoenix Fire Xiangong should also be an ancient place, and it has been broken for I don't know how long. Only in such a place is it possible to find extinct things.

After determining the use of Phoenix Blood Longevity Moss, it was also time for the Yuan Consort to return to the Jin capital.

The next day was the day the Yuan Consort set off to return to the capital, so Wei Yuan went to her room to visit a day early.

"Can you not go?" Wei Yuan tried to make a final effort.

The Yuan Consort sighed: "After all, it was a decree issued by the King. Putting other things aside, if I don't go back, you will have to rebel immediately. It's not the time yet."

Wei Yuan nodded, and then he realized it was wrong. What was he nodding for?

The Yuan Consort covered her mouth and smiled lightly, saying: "You don't have to worry too much about me. Before I came, didn't I live the same way? The Crown Prince has some means, but I am not easy to provoke either. When the Crown Prince's mother was still there, she couldn't fight me. Now that only he is left, I still have the power to protect myself."

"What if he uses force......" Wei Yuan was still worried.

The Yuan Consort rolled her eyes at him, "Do you think everyone is the same as you?"

Wei Yuan felt a bit aggrieved. When did he use force?

The Yuan Consort smiled: "Alright, let's not talk about these unhappy things. The stronger you are outside, the safer I will be in the palace. I heard that you defeated Li Chengfeng; tell me in detail?"

Wei Yuan told the whole process of the battle without reservation.

The Yuan Consort listened quietly and said: "In your opinion, what is the combat power of Li Chengfeng's new army?"

Wei Yuan said: "Two thousand Body Forging, three thousand Jade Bone, well-trained, strict military discipline, even the Great Tang Nine Armies are just like this. Besides the Long Xiang and Long Wei armies, the Azure Void can only compare with ten thousand people, and the total number is about the same.

Li Chengfeng lost because he didn't know the tactics of artillery at all. He lined up in a dense formation in an open area, and as a result, he was defeated by my round of artillery fire. If both sides only used bows, crossbows, knives, and arrows, then I would have to bring twenty thousand people to surround and kill from all sides to be sure of victory."

The Yuan Consort said: "As you said, this unit can defeat the Northern Border Iron Cavalry of Yue Jinshan in a head-on confrontation. The new army trained by the Prince of Ying can also be considered elite, I'm afraid it would lose even if it were four against one."

Wei Yuan was stunned: "Li Chengfeng is so strong?"

"If he wasn't strong, would the King of Zhao give him one hundred thousand elites and give him the Bishui boundary stone?"

Wei Yuan thought carefully and found that this unit placed on the battlefield could also defeat three or four hundred thousand ordinary troops. Thinking about it this way......

Wei Yuan was a bit surprised: "So I'm also quite strong?"

The Yuan Consort rolled her eyes at him and said: "What do you think, Military Governor! If you weren't so strong, would I run to your territory to avoid disaster?"

Wei Yuan suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "I'm so strong, why am I still being bullied?"

"Who bullied you?"

Wei Yuan said that when he took the Yuan Consort back to the Azure Void, he sent other people to catch the assassins who were still alive.

As a result, they were intercepted by an army on the way. The general of that army was extremely overbearing and took out the handwritten decree of the Left Minister, which also had the joint signature of the Right Minister and several cabinet elders, and forcibly took away all the assassins.

At that time, Wei Yuan was not careful enough and didn't have his clothes on him, so the army he sent was the Azure Void army, and he could only hand over the assassins. Otherwise, Wei Yuan felt that he would have rebelled immediately.

Now that he realized his true strength, Wei Yuan finally came to his senses. Since he was so strong, why was he still being bullied? Shouldn't it be him bullying others?

Wei Yuan asked himself in his heart, after having strength, would he bully others?

He would.

Wei Yuan never lied to himself.

So Wei Yuan said to the Yuan Consort: "Don't rush to set off tomorrow; I want to arrange it properly."
