Please, marry a white snake wife. It’s super cool.

Chapter 174: Brother, I failed today!

Lu Yuan rode a modified bicycle and headed north with Su Liyan and a dozen guards.

With the energy provided by the spirit stone, this modified bicycle no longer needs to be propelled by human power.

Can this still be called a bicycle?

Now it’s a simple version of a motorcycle.

On weekdays, Lu Yuan still likes riding horses and doesn't like riding bicycles.

The speed of a horse is almost the same as that of a bicycle.

The reason why bicycles are so popular among the public is because there are not so many horses.

Most of the horses were requisitioned by the court, and a few horses were in the hands of wealthy families.

The horse still has a baby, and the pony cannot be ridden.

Some horses are stubborn and difficult to tame.

Therefore, the price of a horse is much higher than that of a bicycle.

Bicycles are products of technology. As production efficiency improves, their prices will become more and more affordable.

Ordinary people, except walking on legs, could not have a horse of their own.

Now that Lu Yuan's factory can produce bicycles, who among ordinary people would not be curious about this thing.

After buying it home, it is equivalent to buying a bicycle. There is no need to feed or shovel poop...

If a neighbor has a bicycle, it is no less important than people today owning a luxury car.

Those who are celebrating the holidays would not be more dignified than riding a bicycle.

Such a large property as the Zhao Mansion has its own stables and grooms who are responsible for feeding the horses.

Every time Lu Yuan goes out, he always chooses to ride a horse.

It won't work this time. Gu Gaoxu's situation is more critical.

If Lu Yuan were riding a horse, he would gallop day and night.

The horse started to run, bumping up and down.

After sitting for a long time, even with the best saddle, if you ride for a long time, your buttocks will probably be worn out.

Even if a human can bear the distance of 11,000 steps, a horse cannot bear the distance of 800 to 900 steps.

Horses are different from cows in that they are efficient but have poor endurance.

Considering the actual situation, Lu Yuan was forced to modify and upgrade the bicycle and add a spirit stone energy drive device to the bicycle.

In this way, Lu Yuan could rush there in two days.

In less than half a day, Lu Yuan and the dozen or so people riding on their bicycles had already left the fifty or sixty horse-riding cronies behind them far away.

Behind them was Gu Ziyue and four personal guards galloping on horseback, following the large army secretly.

Gu Ziyue was such a smart girl, so she could naturally guess everything. She probably knew what Lu Yuan was going to do.

Even though Gu Ziyue is young, she also has a lot of courage and courage, which is even better than her father's.

Su Liyan and Lu Yuan rode side by side. Lu Yuan explained the ins and outs in detail, and did not forget to complain about Gu Gaoxu.

The common people on the official road stopped to watch when they saw the car that Lu Yuan and others were riding.

Like a bicycle but not like a bicycle.

"Is this kind of bicycle produced again in the Zhaofu factory in Taining City?" The old man carrying a bundle of dry firewood asked the young man beside him.

The young man held a hoe in one hand and patted the soil on his body with a coarse cloth with the other hand. He said, "Maybe. When I make enough money, I will also buy a bicycle to build up my appearance."

In just a few words, Lu Yuan and others disappeared from their sight.

Emperor Taizu roared angrily and wrote down the information handed over by the Jin Yiwei on the document.

"Damn it, our bastard grandson is so arrogant that he dares to lead his troops in." Emperor Taizu swore a few curse words.

The Jin Yiwei below was so frightened that he trembled and did not dare to say a word.

Emperor Taizu looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Jin Yiwei and said, "Where is the commander?"

"Back to the Emperor, your Majesty is too busy with official duties to meet the Emperor." Jin Yiwei spoke with a slight tremor.

Emperor Taizu's pressure made him feel a little difficult to breathe.

"Hehe, this guy is quite naughty. If I send you here this time, you should go back first." Emperor Taizu snorted coldly.

The Jin Yiwei responded and retreated.

After leaving the imperial study room, I took off my Feiyu suit and felt that my back was soaked with sweat.

Emperor Taizu summoned the eunuch beside him: "I have given you a verbal order to order the Minister of War to come here to see me immediately, immediately, immediately."

After receiving the order, the eunuch hurriedly ran out.

Emperor Taizu picked up the information on the slip and read it again.

Although Gu Gaoxu was frivolous in words and deeds and did not like to learn, he was already a leader among his grandchildren in terms of military and martial arts.

After receiving the emperor's oral instructions, the Minister of War hurriedly walked into the imperial study.

With a plop, he knelt down on the ground and performed the ritual of kneeling.

Although Emperor Taizu canceled the etiquette of kneeling and worshiping, his subjects still had to kneel and worship when they saw the emperor.

Emperor Taizu asked the Minister of War to stand up and reply.

"How are you preparing for what I asked you to do a few days ago?"

The Minister of War said: "Back to the emperor, the Ministry of War has notified several vassal kings such as King Jin, King Ning, and King Qi the day before yesterday to send troops to meet King Yan."

The Minister of War paused for a moment and continued: "The Celestial Palace and the Leshen Temple will send great masters to assist King Yan, and they will surely capture the Eternal Poisonous Scorpion."

The name Tianchao Palace was given by Emperor Taizu in an edict. Royal families and nobles often chose Tianchao Palace to burn incense and pray for blessings.

The Celestial Masters and Great Celestial Masters in the Celestial Palace are all outstanding.

Leshen Temple and Tianchao Palace are both the highest-level royal Taoist temples in the Shenling Empire.

Tianchao Palace and Leshen Temple are enshrined by the imperial court with incense all year round.

This time, Emperor Taizu specially ordered Tianchao Palace and Leshen Temple to support King Yan, which was something the Minister of War had never thought of before.

When Emperor Taizu heard this, he said, "Tell them, I will give them a heavy reward for assisting King Yan in destroying the Eternal Poisonous Scorpion."

"Also, Gu Gaoxu's grandson must be captured alive by me!" Emperor Taizu added, his face full of anger.

The last time Gu Gaoxu came to the imperial capital, he invented the corn peeling machine.

Emperor Taizu turned a blind eye and did not expose Gu Gaoxu.

Gu Gaoxu's nature, being naughty and frivolous since he was a child, can be said to be inherited from his roots.

Emperor Taizu was not a very economical person when he was a child. He secretly slaughtered the landlord's calf and ate its meat.

Every time Gu Gaoxu came to the imperial capital, Emperor Taizu would be so angry that he would arrest him and beat him up.

To fight is to kiss, to scold is to love.

Born in an emperor's family, I can't help myself.

There is another reason. Emperor Taizu knew that Gu Gaoxu and Lu Yuan had a close relationship, so naturally he was not willing to abandon Lu Yuan, a big fish.

With Emperor Taizu's vicious eyes, he could tell that Lu Yuan was not an ordinary person, and he had too many secrets to discover.

When Gu Ziyue secretly left the gate of the imperial city, Emperor Taizu had already received the news, but let Gu Ziyue go to find her nephew Gu Gaoxu.

If not for Emperor Taizu's acquiescence, Gu Ziyue would have been captured and taken back to the imperial capital.

Emperor Taizu was alone in the royal study, holding his forehead with his palms, shaking his head, and secretly cursed: "No one can worry!"

With the help of his improved bicycle, Lu Yuan got closer and closer to the northern battlefield as time went by.

On both sides of the official road, the number of people gradually became sparse, and there were even more wild people. Especially at night, the traffic was wandering, making Lu Yuan and others restless while traveling and sleeping.

You can hear people wandering in the woods on both sides of the official road, and from time to time, there are a few owls hooting.

This place is getting closer and closer to the border of the Shenling Empire.

Looking at these scenes, Lu Yuan could not help but sigh to his wife: "The prosperous empire also has areas that cannot be taken care of."

"Yes, brother! As we get closer to the orcs, we won't see many people on the road." Su Liyan followed Lu Yuan closely.

Lu Yuan and others continued to rush for several hours without even drinking water.

Lu Yuan is really a good friend to Gu Gaoxu.

"Young nephew, take the middle of the three forks ahead." A confidant held a map in his arms, which was given by Lu Yuan.

Every once in a while he would give directions to his nephew.

When Lu Yuan traveled back in time, he found a huge map on the wall of his simple home.

At that time, Lu Yuan recognized the territory of the Ming Empire.

Moreover, judging from the appearance of this territory, it should be a map from the Hongwu period.

Lu Yuan learned through his own memory that the map was left by his great-grandfather and hung on the wall.

Lu Yuan's great-grandfather was the county magistrate of the former dynasty, so he got the map from somewhere.

Lu Yuan took the map off the wall of his hometown and kept it in the system without ever taking it out.

Lu Yuan, who had just traveled through time, thought it was the map of the current dynasty.

Lu Yuan also became the magistrate of Taining City and compared the map of Taining City with the map hanging on the wall of his hometown.

The scaling ratios of the two maps were different. Lu Yuan could vaguely compare the results of several main roads on the Taining City map with the map of the entire country.

Only then was it confirmed that the territory of the previous dynasty was almost the same as that of the Shenling Empire.

Fortunately, over the years, the current transportation roads and urban fortresses are not much different from those of the previous dynasty.

Lu Yuan gave the map to his confidant, who was responsible for guiding Lu Yuan and others.

Although it is an old map, it is better than nothing.

Lu Yuan's cronies would also ask for information from people they met along the way to avoid going the wrong way.

At the fork in the road, Lu Yuan got off the car and let everyone take a break.

Lu Yuan took a set of gold soft armor from the car and handed it to his wife, saying, "Put this on, I won't let you get hurt at all."

After Su Liyan took it, she nodded, found a sheltered place, and put the soft armor under her coat.

Lu Yuan said to his cronies: "Did everyone wear the armor distributed last time?"

The confidants responded that they were fully prepared for this trip.

The armor is made from the skin of a long snake, and is currently only given to close associates.

There are more than a hundred sets, which Lu Yuan placed in the system space.

Lu Yuan's cronies left marks along the way to guide those who came from behind on horseback.

……

In less than two days, Lu Yuan and others saw the melee between King Yan's army and the orcs, and the two sides entered a fierce battle.

"Young nephew, there are a large number of orcs guarding the front. I'm afraid we won't be able to rush in." A close aide returned from gathering information from the front and reported to Lu Yuan.

King Yan's dozens of cannons failed to open a passage, and even Lu Yuan with more than a dozen personal guards could not open it.

"Brother, there is a very powerful Da Xingzi there. We may not be able to force it." Su Liyan could feel the battle ahead.

The Eternal Poisonous Scorpion is scarred and scarred, but it is still stubbornly resisting.

"Let's abandon the car and climb over the mountain in front of us." Lu Yuan spat, feeling that there was a fishy smell in the air, as if some impurities floated into his mouth when he spoke just now.

The cronies know that although the mountain can be climbed, they may not be able to get out even if they go in.

Lu Yuan took out his mobile phone and called Gu Gaoxu, but he still didn't get through.

Maybe the signal down the mountain is not good.

In this case, Lu Yuan decided to find another way and go over the mountain.

The last time we communicated on the phone, Gu Gaoxu took hundreds of people and hid in the ravine.

As long as he climbed to the top of the mountain, these mountains were connected, and as long as Gu Gaoxu was at war with the orcs, Lu Yuan would be able to find him.

At this time, what I was most afraid of was that Gu Gaoxu didn't persist until Lu Yuan arrived.

Lu Yuan encouraged everyone and promised that he would take the lead and would never leave them alone.

Lu Yuan's cronies were still trusted by his cronies, and they expressed their intention to follow their nephew to the death.

Under Lu Yuan's command, a team of more than a dozen people sneaked into the woods and set off towards the top of the mountain.

King Yan in the camp also sent some people to try to bypass the awkward situation in front of him to find Gu Gaoxu, a bastard.

However, the people sent out lost contact as if they had disappeared from the world.

On the way up the mountain, we also met some orcs.

Lu Yuan took the lead, approaching quietly with a dagger forged by a long snake, and sealed their throats with a knife to kill them.

Lu Yuan has martial arts skills and can deal with a few stragglers with ease.

When Lu Yuan and others were about to climb to the top of the mountain, with Su Liyan's hearing, they could already hear the sound of gunfire in the ravine.

"Brother, I seem to have heard Gu Gaoxu fighting against the orcs." Su Liyan followed Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan and others stopped and listened carefully. All Lu Yuan heard were shouts of killing from the other side of Shan Aokou.

Lu Yuan crawled on the ground and listened, hearing some sounds from the rocks.

Only then did Lu Yuan confirm that it was Gu Gaoxu who was at war with the orcs.

The henchmen heard nothing.

Under Lu Yuan's urging, he quickly ran to the top of the mountain.

Lu Yuan looked at some firelight in the distance, which was where Gu Gaoxu was.

Lu Yuan immediately arranged for his cronies to look for thick wooden sticks nearby. There were many trees on the mountain, and there were plenty of such things.

Lu Yuan avoided everyone and took out some canvas, metal wire and other materials from the system.

After everyone found the materials, apart from a few people who were responsible for guarding, the others followed Lu Yuan in a decent manner and made up a wooden frame.

Even Su Liyan was at the side, helping to pass things and hold hands.

More than a dozen paragliders, both large and small, are displayed on the ground.

Since Lu Yuan can lead everyone to create it, he naturally knows what this kind of thing is and how to use it.

There is a control rope on the left and right sides of the paraglider, which is used to control the direction.

Time was tight, so Lu Yuan could only simply teach the gliding skills.

It doesn't sound difficult. The specific operation depends on each person's reaction and whether they can overcome the psychological barrier of fear of heights.

Under Lu Yuan's command, all the cronies put on paragliders, and no one was a coward.

The cronies made a run-up and Lu Yuan created a storm behind them.

Lu Yuan's cronies all flew into the sky and glided towards Gu Gaoxu's location.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were the last to set off, behind everyone.

Gu Gaoxu looked at the dozen or so black spots that appeared in the sky, swooping towards where he was, and said: "Woman, is this a group of flying beasts? Brother, I fell into trouble today!"
