Liu Mingzhi knew that the Queen just felt a little unbalanced suddenly. He licked and apologized a few times and handed the lantern to Qi Yun, indicating that she should follow him to provide him with light, but not to get close to the wooden boxes containing the cannonballs. Then he slowly walked towards the artillery and other firearms.
Qi Yun kept her husband's instructions in mind and held the lantern from time to time to change positions to illuminate Liu Mingzhi, but never took a step forward.
It's not like Qi Yun has never seen the power of a cannonball explosion. If she accidentally ignites the gunpowder in the cave, let alone her husband and other third-level masters who use internal energy to protect their bodies, even masters in the innate realm have true energy. The Qi Protector may also end up with no bones left.
The Queen had no intention of meeting Liu Mingzhi. She followed every step Liu Mingzhi took, and accompanied Liu Mingzhi to observe the weapons in the cave.
"Heartless, what are you looking at? Aren't these artillery pieces the same?"
"Check to see if there are any signs of moisture. These things cannot be careless. If there is any oversight, it will be your brothers who are accidentally injured."
The Queen nodded as if she understood. Looking at the barrel of the cannon in front of her that was slightly wider than the one Liu Mingzhi gave her, she curled her lips and continued walking behind Young Master Liu.
"When do you plan to transport it out?"
"Ship it out? Why transport it out?"
The Queen stared blankly at Young Master Liu, who also looked slightly stunned: "Of course they are used to attack the city. Don't tell me that you don't plan to use these siege weapons when you raise your troops?
If not, why would you cast them? "
Only then did Liu Mingzhi react, sighing and shaking his head: "These artillery pieces were cast to prepare for looking to the West, not to bombard our own people.
But nothing is certain, and it might come in handy.
However, it is better not to use these artillery pieces until it is absolutely necessary.
Besides, as far as the current situation is concerned, these artillery are not needed at all when raising troops to the capital. The artillery carried by the Sixth Guards Army and some ordinary artillery in the treasury are enough to capture the capital. "
The Queen's bright eyes became a little sad, and she withdrew her gaze and looked a little downcast.
"You're still thinking about old friendships, right?"
"Is Liu Mingzhi still Liu Mingzhi who doesn't care about any affection?
Besides, it's not just because I miss my old relationship, but because I really don't have any use for these things for the time being.
The imperial court does not have many soldiers and horses left, and the cost of using these artillery is too high.
I have my own plans, so don't worry about it for me. "
The Queen pursed her lips a few times, wanting to say something, but finally fell silent.
Within two sticks of incense, Liu Mingzhi checked all the firearms before putting his heart in his stomach.
"To put it bluntly, Yun'er, it's okay. Let's go back."
The Queen reluctantly glanced at the cannon bodies in the cave that were shining with cold light, and silently followed Liu Mingzhi towards the outside of the cave.
"Master, is it okay? We will check it regularly."
"Well done, thank you for your hard work."
"It's my duty as a subordinate."
Liu Mingzhi walked up to the leader of the five and whispered a few instructions, returned the lantern, and then motioned for them to continue to stick to their posts. He held the two beauties by their wrists and walked towards the way they came from.
The Queen looked at the surrounding environment from time to time, as if she wanted to write down the route.
Young Master Liu noticed the Queen's behavior and raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, but it was not clear.
If he dares to bring the queen here, he won't be afraid of her making some small moves.
I had walked to this place ten times before I finally determined it. If it was so easy for others to follow, wouldn’t it be a waste of all my hard work?
He knew that the Queen was jealous of these artillery pieces, but the time had not come yet.
When the time comes, the Queen will give her a dozen of them without hesitation, so that the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom can use the artillery as it should.
After a few sticks of incense, the Queen sighed helplessly and raised her hand to rub her forehead.
I was so dizzy again that I had no memory of the route I had memorized just now.
It seems as if every tree is the same and every position is its original position.
Liu Mingzhi gave Liu Mingzhi a resentful look. He really didn't know how this heartless person could remember the route clearly.
At about the same time, the three people quietly left the city and entered the city quietly without disturbing anyone except a few soldiers guarding the city gate.
Liu Mingzhi was preparing measures to raise troops, and the Six Guards of the New Army were still on their way back to the city.
Compared with them, Yunyang and a group of Northern Expedition generals had completely different moods. It was no exaggeration to say that they looked gloomy.
Five days.
It had been five days since the order to withdraw troops was passed down. Under the harassment of the cavalry of the two countries, hundreds of thousands of troops retreated less than a hundred miles in five days.
At this rate of evacuation, I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold for a long time after the teacher returns.
The dynasty has already changed.
Yunyang was restless and discussing with the generals whether to select a group of elite soldiers who would dare to die to temporarily block the attacks of the troops of Jin and Tu for a period of time. The matter was not clear yet.
The arrival of Zhonglang General Tu Sheng almost made Yunyang faint without a breath.
Yunyang had also pinned its hope on the 100,000 elite soldiers stationed in various cities of the Jin Kingdom to rush back to Yingzhou in northern Xinjiang ahead of itself to prevent the rebellion of the Six Guards of the New Army.
Unexpectedly, five days later, instead of rushing back to northern Xinjiang, they came to the Turkic grassland to join forces.
Looking at Tu Sheng standing in front of him, trembling and confused, Yunyang stroked his chest and gasped softly.
"You said you received my commander's order to mobilize troops to leave the Kingdom of Jin and come to the grassland to join forces?"
Tu Sheng nodded hurriedly: "Reporting to the commander, the general has received your order, so he led more than 30,000 troops under his command to join forces.
Not only did the general receive it, but several other brothers also received it.
Otherwise, how could the general and other brothers dare to deploy troops privately and leave the station without permission? "
"Where's Shuai Ling?"
Tu Sheng hurriedly took out a command order from his wristband and handed it to Yunyang: "Commander, please take a look at it!"
Yunyang took the commander's order and looked through it a few times. The heavy commander's order was photographed on the simple table and he sighed heavily.
Shuai Ling is indeed Shuai Ling.
However, this commanding order is not his own commanding order.
Everyone in the world knows the appearance of the commander-in-chief clearly, and the person who dares to send someone to pretend to deliver the commander-in-chief knows who he is without having to guess.
Who else but Wang Liu Mingzhi, who has also been in charge of the command?
Yunyang, who had previously been doubting whether Liu Mingzhi was going to rebel when he sent troops back privately, became extremely convinced when he saw Tu Sheng's arrival.
King Bingjian is definitely going to rebel.
Otherwise, he would have no reason to falsely pass on his command, and a few months ago he would transfer troops stationed in the Kingdom of Jin, which was only five or six days away from northern Xinjiang.
The rumors about the death of Wang Jianxian are probably full of water.
Now whether King Bingjian is still alive, only King Bingjian and a few people close to him know the real situation. It is estimated that even the court is kept in the dark.
"well!
It's over, it's really over. "
A group of generals looked at Yunyang who was sighing, with equally gloomy expressions.
For five days, the two sides seemed to be locked in a quarrel, but in fact it was just a small fight.
Hundreds of thousands of people charged, and the total number of soldiers and horses lost in five days was only a thousand soldiers and horses at best.
Now there is no need to carefully guess the enemy's true intentions.
