Origin

Hearing Wang Xinran's words, Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, "It's expected. The Gods are arrogant and arrogant. They suffered such a big setback today. They will definitely not let it go."

Wang Xinran said, "Yes, although this battle has demonstrated your courage and determination, it has also exposed your style of dealing with things and your philosophy of governance. Your hawkish style is undoubtedly revealed. Everyone knows that you will not bow down and accept compromises." , the Five Paths may have despised you before, but not now, they will regard you as their number one enemy and will use any means to get rid of you."

"I've thought about this too." Wu Zhongyuan said, any organization or team has a core figure. At this time, he is the core figure of the human race. Everyone obeys his orders. His decisions directly affect the fate of the human race. To the four gods, ghosts and demons, humans are like enslaved sheep. They will not kill all the sheep, but they will get rid of the leader who does not allow them to gather wool and milk the sheep.

"Your martial arts skills are so high now, it's unlikely that they will attack you openly, but it's easy to hide with open guns, but hard to prevent hidden arrows. In the future, you have to guard against possible assassinations at any time," Wang Xinran said sternly, "Security work must also be strengthened, we must To keep you safe.”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. Everything has its pros and cons. - During the period before the five seals disappeared, the human race took the initiative and had certain advantages. The disadvantage was that the enemy was in the dark and we were clear, and we could be attacked and attacked by unpredictable attacks at any time. disturb.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was not in a good mood, Wang Xinran knew that he was grieving for the fallen warriors, so he comforted him, "One general's achievements lead to thousands of bones being withered. People always die in wars. You will encounter similar things in the future. If you want to stand still, There is always a price to pay for life.”

"I can bear some prices, but I can't bear some prices." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

"What do you mean?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.

Even though Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, Wang Xinran guessed what he was thinking, and even guessed why he didn't answer, "They and I may also die in battle, and you have to be mentally prepared for this in advance. The war is so dangerous, your There are so many women, I’m afraid it will be difficult for them all to accompany you to the end.”

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and glanced at Wang Xinran, but still didn't answer.

Wang Xinran added, "Now that I've mentioned this, I have to remind you that not only may they assassinate you, they may also attack a few of us and use us as bait to force you to act irrationally."

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and asked.

"That's the literal meaning," Wang Xinran said, "You are too attentive to women. They are not fools.

It's impossible not to see this, and sooner or later they will take advantage of it. "

Wu Zhongyuan did not refute Wang Xinran's statement. As Wang Xinran said, he was very attentive to his women. He gave the invisibility cloak and the Celestial Silkworm Golden Armor to Wang Xinran, the King of Eagles to Wu Di, and the Yang soul-fixing stone to Wang Xinran. Jiang Nan, never underestimate your opponent's mind. When they find out that he attaches great importance to the personal relationship between his children, they may take advantage of him. Emphasizing affection is a good thing, but sometimes emphasizing affection is also a flaw and weakness.

When the two returned to Youxiong, the wizards and warriors who had returned earlier had handed over the bodies of the fallen warriors to their families. The square was filled with mournful sounds, and the entire Youxiong was filled with a heavy and depressing atmosphere. Ordinary people did not. There are so many passionate people, and what they hope most is that there will never be a war. They only know that they have lost their loved ones, and they do not understand the situation faced by the king and the pressure he is under.

Everyone is waiting for Wu Zhongyuan to come back for a meeting. Our side suffered heavy losses in this battle. A large number of people in charge of the city were lost and needed to be replaced. Furthermore, the families of those who died in battle also need to be compensated, and those who participated in the previous war should also be rewarded.

As long as you live, you will inevitably encounter various difficulties and troubles. When there are difficulties and troubles, it is useless to be anxious. The correct approach is to sort out the clues and solve them as soon as possible.

At the suggestion of the old blind man, Wu Zhongyuan issued three imperial edicts. First, the vacancies in the Bear clan were temporarily filled by deputies. The vacancies in the Ox clan were selected and appointed by Prince Jiang Tao and King Yong Jiang Zhen. The vacancies in the Bird clan were appointed by themselves. The replacement will be selected by Prince Le Thai.

Both, all warriors and wizards who participated in this battle were given bronze caps and thorny python cloaks to encourage bravery and show their honor.

Third, the family members of all fallen wizards and warriors will retain their homes, and their support and treatment will be the same as when the deceased was alive.

Ordinary tribesmen would not know how difficult it was to win this victory. They only knew that many people died on their side. Wu Zhongyuan rejected the proposal of the Ministry of Rites to hold a celebration. In the afternoon, at the end of the afternoon, they agreed to withdraw from the court and everyone returned to their own places.

Wu Zhongyuan was also very tired, so he handed over the trivial matters of the aftermath to the old blind man and others for discussion. After returning to the harem, since Wang Xinran had not yet had time to enter the middle palace, he went to the East Palace to talk to Wu Di.

Wu Di stopped participating in government affairs after taking over the East Palace, but Wu Di was very good at government affairs, and he also wanted to hear Wu Di's views on this battle.

Unlike Wang Xinran, Wu Di was more careful when talking to him. Wu Di was very satisfied with the result of this battle, and he also praised Wang Xinran in his words. Wu Di's move was not flattery. To be fair, if this battle had Without Wang Xinran's participation, our entire army would probably be annihilated.

"Your Majesty, don't be too sad. They deserved their death. No matter how much the price is, we must get these four protective fragrances. If we fail, there will be endless troubles." Wu Di comforted softly.

"Those people are just the vanguards of the Gods. They have lost half of the purple energy masters of the human race in just one battle. The five seals will disappear by the end of this year. What will we do to stop and resist them?" Wu Zhongyuan lay on the warm bed, closed his eyes and sighed.

Wu Di thought for a while and said, "The lack of purple spirit wizards and warriors is really detrimental to us. Fortunately, we still have time. The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. If we can find another magical spiritual object like the nine-leaf green lotus, It can be promoted quickly and gain additional benefits. Furthermore, the firearms used by the Zhonggong are extremely powerful. At this time, the Zhou Rao Kingdom has already moved its entire clan to the north. The people of the Zhou Rao Kingdom are ingenious, so we can let them imitate the firearms used by the Zhonggong and cast them in large quantities."

"Spiritual objects may be found, but they really can't make that kind of firearm." Wu Zhongyuan said casually. Wang Xinran used a high-precision sniper rifle. It was impossible to make such a precise one with the metallurgical level at this time. As for parts and components, no matter how ingenious the Zhou Rao people are, they can only make blunderbuss, not standard guns. Not to mention other things, they can't make rifling, and they can't make propellant.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be too anxious. There will always be a way." Wu Di brought the sugar water and stepped forward to deliver it.

As soon as Wu Zhongyuan took over the bowl, someone came from outside to report that a large number of birds had flown in from the south and were already hundreds of miles away.

Wu Zhongyuan frowned when he heard the sound, put down his bowl and went out to take a look. Sure enough, a large number of birds were flying from the south. These birds were very familiar to him. They were mostly birds such as ibises and cranes. If he looked carefully, he saw that each bird was carrying a load on its back. There were two birds with people sitting on them. He also knew these two people. They were from Yanyun Mountain.

After confirming the identity of the visitor, Wu Zhongyuan guessed the purpose of the visitor. Wan Shanhong had previously promised to support him with 200,000 kilograms of copper and iron. Since the winter was too cold, it was not suitable for birds that were afraid of the cold to transport it northward, so they agreed to send it after the beginning of spring. .

Wu Zhongyuan did not stay in the harem anymore. He left the palace and came to the square to meet and talk with the two men who were transporting copper and iron. This time the two men delivered two thousand kilograms of fine iron. The so-called fine iron was what later generations called wrought iron. Pig iron is tougher and harder. At this time, it is a high-quality metal second only to dark iron and can be used to make various things including weapons.

The ordinary copper and iron were transported by horse teams and had already set off northward earlier today.

Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Zhongyuan spoke not only to complete the etiquette, but also to inquire about Wan Shanhong. Previously, Wan Shanhong had been looking for a quiet place suitable for deducing the Xuanwen on the Jin Jian. He pointed out the Yanyun Island in the Arctic Ice Land to Wan Shanhong. .

This time the two came to transport copper and iron because Wan Shanhong had told them years ago. They had not seen Wan Shanhong recently. This shows that Wan Shanhong probably went to Yanyun Island and stayed there. .

As the saying goes, what comes back is disrespectful. Wu Zhongyuan did not let these birds fly back empty, but rewarded them with some beautiful pearls and jade as a return gift.

After seeing off the two people from Yanyun Mountain, Wu Zhongyuan ordered people to go to Goat Valley to pick up the convoy transporting copper and iron. At this time, the metallurgical level was very low and the metal was hard to come by, so no mistakes could be made. Furthermore, there is no need to transport the copper and iron to Youxiong. He had discussed with Li Tai before building a large arsenal in the area between the Bird Tribe and the Bear Tribe. The copper and iron could be sent there directly. .

Just as he was about to return to the palace, the old blind man and Wu Rong stopped him. Wu Rong was currently the Assistant to the Household Department and was in charge of farming. They stopped him to ask for instructions on how to plant hundred-day rice and purple potato.

What the two asked for instructions was not the specific planting method, but the area and scope of cultivation. The human race only had one year to recuperate, so they had to stock up on a large amount of rice this year. In addition to the millet they had planted before, hundred-day rice and purple potato were also rice. main source.

Since these two things are rare, the two people's idea is to plant them intensively and send people to guard them closely to prevent the Bainian rice and purple potato from being obtained or destroyed by others.

After Wu Zhongyuan pondered for a while, he rejected the two people's ideas. There was no need to plant in a centralized manner. Planting could be scattered, and there was no need to send people to guard it. There was no need to worry about the seeds leaking out. As a human being, you should not be indifferent to others' kindness. It is truly good to be kind to everyone.

In addition, the reason why he does not want to concentrate on planting is because he is worried about being destroyed by the enemy. If the harvest season comes, Wu Dao comes and sets a fire, which will burn a large area. Relatively scattered planting can avoid this situation, even if Part of it was destroyed, but there were other farmlands that could be harvested.

Returning to the harem, he happened to meet Wang Xinran and Jiang Nan talking under the pavilion, so he went over to say hello to them, and then intentionally or unintentionally mentioned some details about the inspection of the bloodlines of the three clans that day. The reason why he mentioned this was because In order to dispel Jiang Nan's doubts, he knew that Jiang Zheng was killed by Zhao Ying with a sniper rifle that day. He was worried that Jiang Nan would suspect that Wang Xinran was the one who killed Jiang Zheng when he saw the wounds of the protoss warriors who were shot. The murderer, fortunately Wang Xinran was standing behind him when the bloodline of the three clans was tested, so there was evidence of alibi.

Jiang Nan may not have suspected Wang Xinran at all, but regardless of whether Jiang Nan suspected it or not, it must be said that misunderstandings that can be avoided must be avoided as much as possible.

After chatting for a while, Wu Zhongyuan returned to the East Palace.

Seeing him coming back, Wu Di heated up the sugar water that he had not had time to eat before delivering it to him.

Wu Zhongyuan took it and was about to eat it when someone came from outside to report, "Your Majesty, there is someone outside the palace asking to see..."
