The devil is coming

Chapter 419
When the stars fall, this is a sign of great evil;
But now, it is not the time to think about where the "sign" should be, because it is falling.
Perhaps, after it fell, someone from the Qin Tianjian would come to tell Emperor Yan about the meteor falling from the eastern border of the country. Then, the ministers began to take advantage of this celestial phenomenon.
But that's a story later, because now the sword master feels that he may be the one who is going to be smashed to death.
Fan Li walked out of the kitchen with five or six steamed buns in his hand. He raised his head while nibbling on the steamed buns, and then he was stunned.
"My biological mother."
The blind man was reviewing documents in the house, and Siniang accompanied the master to Fengxin City, and all the mundane affairs in Xueguan fell on his head.
However, because he was in the house and the distance of mental detection was limited, he did not sense the change in the sky. When he sensed it later, it was already too late to react.
at this time,
Inside and outside Xueguan, most of the soldiers and civilians have already entered into their dreams. Even those who have not slept, there are only a few who raise their heads at this moment.
The young marquis and Mowan in the small courtyard of the Earl's Mansion looked up.
The sword master also looked up,
There are other eyes that are also amazed at the vision in the sky.
Ninety-nine percent of the people could only watch, but had no time to do anything.
Magic Pill was a little better. He used his own stones to hold back the young Marquis, but he did not dare to move without authorization, because when the star fell, its power was like a rainbow, which was not like the fireball thrown by the trebuchet during the siege. , when it is in the sky, you can probably guess where it fell.
The sword master slightly closed his palms,
Long Yuan flew out of the woodshed and instantly cut off the small ax that had been used by the sword master to chop wood. He was obviously very angry. As a famous sword in the world, it was used to kill pigs before, and now it wants to fight with him. A broken ax competing for favor.
But these are small details, and the Juggernaut can't care about them now.
now,
What he was thinking was,
Lose, lose,
I used to think that Zheng Fan arranged his home next to the Earl's Mansion, partly to please himself and partly to let himself help take care of the Earl's Mansion.
but now,
The sword master suddenly felt,
Then did Zheng Fan really do too many things because of his own misfortune? Did he have a premonition that God might stone him to death?
That's why they deliberately tied the two families together?
If the falling star was going to hit the Earl's Mansion, then his little family would certainly not be spared.
Therefore,
He has no choice now.
He hates this feeling of being bound.
Even he knows
Zheng Fan could not have predicted that one day the stars would fall and smash into his home.
sword,
Right next to you,
The sword master was silently concentrating,
In fact, he understands,
If it were me in my heyday, it would be possible to fend off the flaming thing, but I probably don't have this ability now.
And, no matter what, he probably wouldn't survive.
This is the power of heaven and earth, so terrifying.
Furthermore,
If the being in the house next door who exudes a gloomy aura from time to time does not sleep forever, with his help, the chance of winning may be greater. At the very least, the trajectory of the falling star can be slightly deviated.
Just don't hit the Earl's Mansion.
As for whether there will be civilian casualties, it doesn't matter.
Although there is the word "holy" in the name of the Sword Master, it actually has nothing to do with true compassion and mercy. He can take action when it's time to take action.
Just some emotion,
I was able to lead a pig a while ago.
He took away a pig's head from Mr. Hirano,
Today,
But you may have to vomit it back again and again.
loss,
What a loss.
but,
Things are impermanent,
The falling stars in the sky were so fast that these thoughts of the sword master only flashed by for a moment. At the same time, because of its unpredictable nature, it directly gave people a feeling of "resigning to fate" in the true sense. .
Life,
not bad.
Uncle Hirano's life is pretty good.
Although he is not at home now, if the Earl's Mansion is destroyed by a falling star and the young Marquis dies inside, then...
Xue Customs' life is not bad either.
Because the angle of the falling star is slightly tilted, when it is very high in the sky, it does seem like it is going to hit you on the head, but when it is falling rapidly, a little angle can magnify a long distance. .
"boom!"
The falling star finally landed at a location two miles away from the northern city wall of Xueguan, but it also made a huge noise.
The sword master breathed a long sigh of relief,
sat down,
The previous scene,
Even the sword master broke out in a cold sweat.
Sometimes, one's own life and death can be indifferent, but once it involves someone you care about, the burden becomes very heavy.
Reach out and pick up Long Yuan beside you,
Place a piece of firewood on the pier,
Lift up the dragon abyss,
"Pull" sound,
Disconnect.
After chopping several more pieces of firewood, the sword master finally regained his composure.
At the same time, the loud noise attracted great attention. The north gate of Xuehaiguan opened wide and groups of cavalry galloped out.
Liang Cheng was the first to arrive at the location of the falling star, where white smoke was still rising. Liang Cheng immediately ordered his men to spread out and take charge of vigilance. At the same time, he sent someone to inform the Hailan Department closest to here, telling them not to panic.
As soon as these orders were given, Liang Cheng saw Fan Li running towards him carrying the blind man on his back.
"Is this a meteorite?" the blind man asked.
Liang Cheng nodded and said, "Right ahead."
"Okay, let's go and have a look." The blind man said.
"There could be radiation."
"Tsk..." The blind man hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "You two go up and have a look."
Liang Cheng is a zombie, and Fan Li also has the blood of a barbarian god. These two are not afraid of the effects of radiation. A few strong doses of radiation from time to time may even stimulate bloodline changes and improvements.
The blind man is different. His body is already weak. If something goes wrong under the strong radiation, he will really have to lie in a hospital bed for the rest of his life.
Liang Cheng and Fan Li dismounted and walked to the spot where the meteorite landed. At the moment, the white smoke has not completely dissipated. The crater is actually not big, only half the area of ​​a basketball court, and there are burnt marks all around.
Moreover, it is true that the crater is so big, but the real meteorite is actually smaller.
Fan Li jumped down first. He had rough skin and thick flesh that could withstand being burned, but when he walked to the side of the meteorite, he didn't dare to reach out and touch it now.
Liang Cheng stood aside and observed carefully.
Here, the blind man secretly groped for a distance, and said through the spiritual chain:
"I said, do you see what it is?"
"Have you never seen a meteorite?" Liang Cheng asked, "If you want to see it, use your mental power to see it yourself."
"Do you really think my spiritual power is all-pervasive?"
"It's either iron, stone, or stone iron. These are the only types of meteorites."
"It can't be so ordinary, right?"
"What do you want? Ice black iron?"
"It's not impossible."
"You have too much imagination."
"Are you a zombie here telling me that I have a rich imagination?"
"Ask someone to bring some water and ask Ali to pour it on. Let's transport it back as soon as possible to avoid spreading the matter too widely during the day and causing bad impact."
In this era, meteorites and other things are often a very bad omen. Even though the demon kings believe in science, the people and soldiers at the bottom are not of such high quality.
"Let Ali water it and cool it down first, then I'll check to see if the radiation is high. If there's no problem, we'll transport it back as soon as possible."
Soon, soldiers brought buckets of water, and Fan Li carried the bucket by himself and poured it on the meteorite one after another to cool it down without letting anyone else get close.
After a few times, the temperature of the meteorite did come down. Fan Li tried to touch it with his hand and responded:
"It's not hot."
The blind man then came up and said to himself:
"It seems the radiation is not high."
Liang Cheng was a little surprised and said: "The detection is so fast?"
"If the radiation is too high, Ali will transform into the Hulk."
"It's not funny to make a joke like this at this time."
"Let's liven up the atmosphere." The blind man said, taking out another orange and jumping into the crater while eating it;
After careful observation,
The blind man said:
"On the outside, it looks like silicate. Let's take it back and try to cut it to see if there is anything good inside.
Come on, Ali, take it home. "
……
Uncle Zheng returned to Xue Customs at noon the next day. Because there was no carriage from the princess to be a burden on the way back, and the military order issued by the Marquis of Jingnan required him to go back and start preparations quickly, so everyone rushed back non-stop, at a natural speed. It's fast.
After returning to the mansion,
Zheng Fan just learned the news about the meteorite falling last night.
He was immediately surprised and said:
"what?"
……
Uncle Zheng couldn't help but be surprised. Although the crater was two miles away from the North City Wall, the total distance was only 1000 meters. At the same time, his Pingye County Mansion was extremely close to the North City Wall.
In other words, if the butterfly wings of the meteorite flap just a little bit more, it is very likely that my home will be lost.
This really scares people to the point of breaking into a cold sweat.
The meteorite was transported back by Fan Li and placed in the dungeon.
There are three secret rooms underground, and each secret room is actually large enough. Half of the reasons why it took so long to build the Hirano House were because of this.
at the moment,
Lying in the secret room on the easternmost side is the sleeping Shatuo Que Stone, with the Savage King in the middle, and now the meteorite is placed on the westernmost side.
Therefore, the Savage King is indeed pitiful, with two neighbors, one is a zombie and the other is highly radioactive;
Zheng Fan came to the secret room and looked at the round and edgeless meteorite.
"So, has it been cut?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Not yet, waiting for Xue San to do it." The blind man said.
Xue San also excitedly stepped forward to touch it and said: "It doesn't matter whether it is cut or not. It should be just a lump made of stone and iron."
said,
Xue San joked again:
"Unless you carve words on it, it won't matter if it's big or small, King Zheng Fan."
"Three children."
"Lord."
"Can you cut it open today?"
"Sure, no problem. I'll pack it up overnight today. Although it's unlikely that there will be any surprises, I quite enjoy the process. I'll gather the group of people I trained tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow. The Lord has found a way for you.”
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Lord, look at what you said."
Zheng Fan and the blind man walked out of the basement side by side. After reaching the top, Zheng Fan patted his clothes. He had just come back and hadn't had time to take a shower. He was a little sticky from the dust.
The blind man said, "My lord, this order from Marquis Jingnan is quite difficult. However, the difficulty is on the one hand, and at the same time, it is clear that Marquis Jingnan values ​​and cultivates you, my lord." "
"Actually, I don't really want to take risks anymore. It's good to slowly grow and develop."
"This is just what the Lord is thinking right now. As the saying goes, when the Lord leads his army into the Chu Kingdom, he will feel extremely excited.
Just like when my lord, you only led [-] barbarian cavalry and went directly to Qian Country without even saying hello. "
"maybe."
Blind people are best at reading people's hearts. Zheng Fan did not directly refute it, because most of the time, people's eyes will not look at themselves.
"We have to prepare things this time." Zheng Fan warned.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We only send 1000 troops. Even if we add Xue San's hundreds of troops, there will be no pressure on our logistics at all."
The scale of this troop dispatch is indeed much lower than previously expected.
The logistical pressure of sending 1000 troops is not only fifteen times that of sending 5000 troops. At the same time, these 1000 people also bring enough food and military supplies first, without the need for subsequent replenishment.
If a small group of troops penetrates deep into the enemy's territory, they will definitely be out of food supply. There is no need to say.
"Xue San said, this time you should stay and look after the house."
"Don't worry, Lord, I will definitely protect my home."
"Ah."
"By the way, Lord, do you need to file a memorial about this meteor?"
"Let's send one to Fengxin City." Zheng Fan said.
It is up to Marquis Jingnan to decide whether to send it to the court or not.
After all, meteorites are very mysterious in the eyes of people of this era, and often carry a great meaning of natural warning, but who told Uncle Zheng to be born under the red flag.
"Yes, I understand. However, I feel that the Lord should be more careful."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"In this original world, meteorites were just meteorites. It is estimated that tens of thousands of tons of meteorites fall on the earth every year, but most of them are lost in the atmosphere."
"what happened?"
"But in this world, I always feel that you cannot trust science at all. Not to mention the magic of warriors and swordsmen in this world, even the place where you live now, my lord, and the people who live with you, my lord, you don't You should trust science too much.”
"Blind man, what do you mean?"
"My subordinates always feel that something might be going on."
……
Yanjing, Imperial Study Room.
The prince and Ji Chengjue sat face to face.
The prince had just given birth to a filial piety, and he had obviously lost weight due to vicissitudes of life.
On the other hand, Ji Chengjue, who is sitting opposite him, must have had a very happy life after his wedding, and he has gained a lot of weight.
The prince's period of filial piety will not be as long as that of officials. Even if some officials' parents have died, if their positions are very important and the court cannot lack them, they will be selected by His Majesty at his discretion to avoid his worries.
After all, the king is the father, the emperor is before the parents, and the emperor has the emperor's will. If you don't go to Dingyou, you will have legal basis.
Of course, most officials don't want Ding You. After all, the position of the imperial court is like a carrot and a pit. It's hard for him to climb to this position. Ding You will go back in three years. When he wants to be an official again, will you be there? This location is hard to say.
This is true even for officials, let alone a prince who is a native of the country.
If the prince were really asked to observe mourning for three years, wouldn't it mean that the country's foundation would be destroyed?
However, although you have paid filial piety and can go out to do things, there are still many rules that need to be followed in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is only in the past few generations that the country of Yan has stabilized, and there are more rules. In the past, there were not so many. Be particular about it.
It's just that Gan Ren was always ridiculed because he didn't understand etiquette. Although he shouted that Gan Ren was a loser and often used swords to teach Gan Ren, he still said that he was upright and began to slowly establish etiquette and rules. .
The prince seemed to have finally lost interest in playing the role of "brothers, friends and brothers".
Ji Chengjue was also happy to be quiet.
On the day of his wedding, he had actually announced straight to the point that he would join in the fight for the heir, and his side was in the limelight as all the trump cards were revealed. On the other hand, on the side of the prince, first the queen was gone, and then the princess left the capital. Looking at this marriage, I almost gave up;
the most important is,
The queen has passed away for so long,
Marquis Jingnan didn't even send any information about the queen.
There are some military information, but it stands to reason that when a sister dies, the younger brother should go to the capital to pay his respects. Of course, the position of Marquis of Jingnan is definitely inseparable from him, and the overall situation of the Jin State and the Chu people are also inseparable. Therefore, His Majesty and the imperial court will definitely first issue an order to appease him, and then persuade him to give up his plan to enter Beijing for the sake of the country's overall interests.
This is a process, but Marquis Jingnan seems to have completely avoided this matter, unwilling to even go through the process.
Although, everyone can understand whether it is in the court or in the market. After all, he committed suicide without blinking an eye, but now he is shouting to come back because of the death of a sister. Who is complaining?Is this necessary?
But the problem is that the current prince is in urgent need of foreign aid to help him maintain his position in the East Palace. Therefore, Marquis Jingnan's ignorance is almost a kind of disregard for the prince's status.
Ji Chengjue yawned, holding in his hand the tariff list of the caravans that had come from Beifeng County in the past few months.There is also a list of caravans traveling to Qian Country, but this cannot be disclosed publicly. It can only be shown to Zhao Jiulang and his father, because there is friction between the two sides on the border. As a result, the caravan business can continue to be done. , it doesn’t sound good to speak out.
The two princes just sat there, tea, and no one moved.
Sit, sit, sit
Ji Chengjue couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. When he came here earlier, Wei Zhonghe said that his father was taking a nap and asked him to wait a little longer, so he could just wait. But it had been almost an hour and his father hadn't woken up yet?
Forget it, the father is not awake, Wei Zhonghe is also missing, and the two princes are waiting in the side hall of the imperial study. Why, you, the chief chamberlain, just let it go?
Furthermore,
For as long as I can remember, my father has never had the habit of taking a nap. Putting aside the cold side of being a father, when it comes to being an emperor, it can be said that he spends all day and night thinking about everything.
Thinking of this,
Ji Chengjue stood up and said to a young eunuch standing next to him:
"I'll tell Eunuch Wei later that there are still some things that need to be dealt with in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I will come to pay my respects when my father wakes up."
"Yes, Your Highness, this servant knows."
Just when Ji Chengjue took steps to walk out,
Wei Zhonghe's voice sounded:
"Your Majesty is driving..."
Ji Chengjue's feet staggered.
Gently make a shape with your mouth:
Book?Ben?fool?run fast?
"To!"
Ugh!
