After receiving the imperial edict from Emperor Xuan, Fu Xiaoguan excitedly went to the City Defense Department.
A treasure that is rich enough to rival a country!
The money for building the Wofeng Road has been completely solved!
Originally, he was thinking of setting up a road and bridge joint-stock company, raising money by issuing stocks, and then building toll booths - this move was a bit despicable, but he, Fu Xiaoguan, had no other choice.
If you really levy charges, it will damage the reputation of Wofengdao. Businessmen are not stupid. If you levy charges, who will dare to invest in Wofengdao?
But it’s different at a toll station. The amount of money paid each time is not much, like a blunt knife cutting flesh, so they don’t feel anything.
At that time, we can do some publicity: loan money to build roads, collect fees to pay back the money... This is reasonable, and those businessmen will not have any complaints.
So how did these ancient people fight against modern people in their previous lives?
There are too many clichés. If they traveled to the modern era, they probably wouldn't survive more than two episodes.
Thinking so happily, Xu Xinyan drove a carriage to the City Defense Department.
The Jinling City Defense Department dispatched a full 10,000 guards, who surrounded the forgotten Confucius Temple in front of the shocked gazes of many people.
"What on earth is this for?" Huo Huaijin was confused.
Fu Xiaoguan patted his shoulder and said, "You'll know in ten days at most. Let's go."
"I can't drink today. I have a lot of official business to attend to."
"Then I have to go back to the palace and check on the examination papers at the Imperial College!"
…
…
At the northern foot of Minshan Mountain, beneath the cloud peaks.
The dense sound of gunfire echoed in the valley, and all the birds that were returning home at dusk left their nests.
Amidst the shouts and roars, Su Mo led the Third Divine Sword Brigade and rushed into the Moon Worshiping Cult's main temple hidden there with his guns in his hands.
This is a one-sided massacre!
The former Black Guards, now the Expeditionary Force, watched in shock as the Excalibur Army shot down those high-ranking figures.
They held swords in their hands, flying in the sky with their eyes wide open, and then they screamed "Ah...!" and fell from the sky continuously with a "Puff...!"
"Don't just stand there, General Su said we're going to harvest heads!"
The soldiers of the expeditionary force suddenly came to their senses and excitedly cut off the heads of the bandits with their knives.
The valley is stained with blood, gurgling!
The battle lasted from 12:00 to 11:00. When the night fell, peace returned to the land beneath the clouds.
Su Jue and Su Mo stood in the hall of the Moon Worship Sect's main temple, looked at each other, and grinned.
"Master said that after this thing appears, martial arts will no longer be important, and even the martial arts world may cease to exist. It's true!" Su Jue said with great emotion.
"Junior Brother's invention of this flintlock rifle is not sure whether it will be a blessing or a curse for the people of the world."
"A gun is a weapon, and it depends on the person holding it. So even if there's a disaster, it's not the gun's fault."
Su Mo bowed and said, "Big Brother, what you said makes sense."
Su Jue looked around and suddenly asked, "Have you seen Miao Xiaoxiao's body?"
"I haven't found her yet. My junior brother said there's a little girl named Yu Yixi... We have to look for her carefully."
Just when the two brothers were searching everywhere, someone from the Divine Sword Army came to report that a secret room was found in the back mountain!
Su Jue and Su Mo flew over and found that the door of the secret room had been opened.
The two of them lit a torch and walked in.
A ladder paved with bluestone slabs led all the way down. On the walls on both sides were hung many oil lamps, with the oil inside half burned.
They lit the oil lamps one by one, and after walking for half an incense stick, they arrived in front of a stone door.
Su Mo originally thought that there was some mechanism behind this stone door, but he didn't expect that when he pushed it with his hand, the stone door opened so easily!
The two walked into the secret room and looked around cautiously.
This secret room is ten feet square, with a long white jade table in the middle, but only one chair.
The secret room is surrounded by bookshelves, on which many books are neatly placed.
They lit the oil lamps between the bookshelves, and the secret room suddenly became bright.
Then they saw a white jade box on the long white jade table.
Su Jue carefully used a wooden sword to open the box. There was no mechanism or trap, but an old booklet inside.
Su Jue stuck the torch into the wall, looked at the booklet carefully, and reached out to take it out.
"The Sixth Generation of the Moon-by-Moon List"!
He frowned slightly and opened the title page, where there was a single line of words: The world has changed for two hundred years, but the heart of the moon chaser remains unchanged.
He turned another page: The list of the sixth generation of Cemen!
Below that is the name of a column.
He was startled, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt cold all over.
His eyes seemed to be nailed to the page, unable to move at all!
"What's wrong?" Su Mo asked.
Su Jue swallowed his saliva and said, "This must be fake!"
"What's fake?"
“…Take a look.”
Su Mo took the booklet and his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
"...This, this is not it. Senior Brother, can you verify whether the handwriting on this page is new?"
Su Jue took it again and read it carefully over and over again for half an hour. He raised his head and let out a long sigh, "It's true!"
"What should we do then?"
"My mind is a little confused. Yes, I have to go back and find my junior brother to see if he has any ideas."
"good."
"Eighth Junior Brother, I'll leave the matters here to you. I'll rush back to Jinling!"
"...If...we..."
"Don't make it public! Wait for my news."
Su Jue quickly left the secret room with the booklet in his pocket. Su Mo sat down on the stool and looked at the torch blankly. He suddenly felt that everything that had happened before seemed unreal.
What is wrong with this world?
Why did it become like this?
How could he be the grand elder of Cemen?
What now?
The most important thing now is to preserve this army, reorganize the expeditionary force, and occupy the gold mine first.
Su Mo made up his mind, took a torch and walked out of the secret room, and issued an order: "Seal this place up. No one is allowed to enter without my order!"
He walked towards the hall, and just then a special forces soldier brought in a little girl.
The little girl was very pretty, but the fear in her big eyes as she looked at Su Mo was unconcealable.
"You...are here to kill me?"
Su Mo suppressed his worries and smiled, "No, we are here to save you."
The little girl shook her head and said, "Grandma said you are bad people!"
"What's your mother-in-law's name?" Su Mo squatted down and asked gently.
"Call me Miao Xiaoxiao."
"Where is she?"
"Three days ago, a few people came and killed my mother-in-law. I was hiding in the closet and saw it with my own eyes through the crack."
Su Mo frowned, "Did you see clearly what kind of person he is?"
"It was also at night. There were four people, one of whom was fat and round. It was my mother-in-law he killed."
Su Mo was startled and rushed out of the door, but there was no sign of his senior brother.
