Murong Shame didn't want to go to see it at first, but then he thought that the Emperor of Eastern Chu specially sent envoys to introduce these foreigners from Ross Principality seriously, so he should take a look. Since these days, Murong Shame and the Eastern Chu royal family have been in close contact, and the two emperors have many common topics.
Eastern Chu was robbed of more than half of its land by the Sui Dynasty, and Nanyan was lingering under the pressure of the Sui Dynasty.
Now, Tai Sui is sick and has fallen ill. Eastern Chu and Nanyan, the two countries that could only smile and bow in the face of the Sui Dynasty, began to sharpen their swords. Of course, even so, they still had no way to make up for the sick Tai Sui. Maybe they could bite off a piece of meat from Da Sui's body with all their strength, but biting this piece of meat would also knock out their teeth.
Besides, their hatred for Sui cannot be resolved with just one bite.
So Murong Hui believed that the Emperor of Eastern Chu would not deceive himself, because only the alliance of their two countries could get back some face from Da Sui. Especially Nan Yan, needless to say the huge and powerful Sui Empire back then, Fang Jie's Black Banner Army was enough to put him under enough pressure to level the business road.
If he hadn't sent troops to invade Pingshang Dao before, he wouldn't have to be on pins and needles now. But at that time, the opportunity was so good that he firmly believed that no one would give up. Luo Yao led his troops away from Pingshang Dao, and joined forces with the He people, with the strength of Luo Qiu's troops, he would definitely not be able to stop him.
There is no doubt that his decision was not wrong.
It's just that he was unlucky, the man named Fang Jie appeared in Pingshangdao inexplicably with a powerful army. First he defeated his army, then massacred hundreds of thousands of He people, and took Ping Shangdao back abruptly by means of bloody killings. Not only that, but also planned to trap and kill dozens of chieftains of the He people in Baishui City, including King Tuhunduobie, so that the internal chaos of the He people is now so difficult to deal with.
In order to compete for the position and territory of the chieftain, the He people are now killing each other to an appalling level.
The He people have always been a disunited nation, and there has never been any trust among the tribes. Now that so many chieftains have died, the remaining chieftains are all busy expanding their territory. Murong shame couldn't help admiring that Fang Jie's move was so beautiful, even he couldn't do it better.
Having lost the powerful ally of the He people, Murong Shame knew that the Sui people's revenge would definitely come. On the one hand, he sent people to block the border and closed all the city gates to prevent anyone from entering or leaving. On the one hand, they began to send people to communicate frequently with Eastern Chu, trying to get support from Eastern Chu.
The emperor of Eastern Chu hit it off with him. Eastern Chu needed Nanyan to exist. As long as Nanyan was not destroyed, part of the Sui army's strength would be restrained in the southwest of Great Sui. For Dong Chu, this is a good thing. Besides, Dongchu's support to Nanyan was not given for nothing. Murong shame paid a big price for the Eastern Chu Emperor to agree to form an alliance.
But what Murong shame didn't expect was that the so-called support of the Eastern Chu Emperor was actually just sending a few high-spirited so-called nobles of the Ross Kingdom, and a team of no more than 500 people. Murong Shame didn't think that such an army could defeat Fang Jie's terrifying cavalry. Of course, there are still some people who came secretly, and only Murong Shame and a few of his confidants know about it, because these people are related to the secrets of Eastern Chu.
But now that he came, he was also curious about what powerful things these self-confident foreigners brought.
Murong shame left the dragon chair and walked down the pedestal slowly.
The Russian man who claimed to be Boskov smiled, turned and walked out. This rude move made Murong shame a little annoyed, the impolite Ross actually walked in front of him. In Nanyan, no one dares to do this. Even the patriarchs of those families in the south have always maintained enough respect for him on the surface.
Murong shame went out of the Weiran Hall patiently, and stood at the entrance of the hall, waiting for Boskov to show the gift he brought.
Wearing tights and riding boots, Boskov walked to the square in front of the main hall, first adjusted his bow tie, and then asked someone to turn around a thing pulled behind the carriage at the door. Lift off the red cloth covering it. A dark object appeared in front of Murong shame, it looked huge, like a sculpture with a weird shape.
But Murong Sha could tell that this thing should be made of iron.
Beside this thing, there is also a huge wooden box, which contains black iron balls about the size of coconuts, and the iron balls are separated by straw and cotton cloth, making it seem that these things are very precious.
"I know that there are many mages in the Central Plains."
Boskov said: "In our Principality of Ross, there are also many mages with amazing talents. They are respected and wealthy. Because they have an ability beyond imagination in their hands, it is frightening. In the Principality of Ross , The status of mages is even higher than that of nobles. However, even those mages dare not be presumptuous in front of me."
"This is the power of technology, which makes people's power smaller."
Boskov said: "This thing is called artillery."
He stroked the black cannon, and said with some emotion: "Sooner or later, the power of science and technology will be so powerful that all human beings can't catch up. In the face of technology, no matter how powerful an individual is, he can only dig a noble head. Of course, now It's not that time yet. But... in my opinion, it's not far away."
"A country can use more and more scientific and technological power, and then it can get rid of the shackles of relying on manpower before. I know that the Central Plains is a powerful empire, but it is too backward. No matter how powerful their army is, they are just wielding sabers. Your Majesty, what you see is a murder weapon specially made for war."

…
The light rain is still falling, and it seems that the gray sky is very low. When you look up at the sky, you will feel the pressure of being overlooked by something. The raindrops were small but dense, and when they fell on the ground at first, they quickly disappeared into the ground. But two hours later, the ground began to be filled with rainwater.
Fang Jie looked at the rain outside in a daze, and he always had a bad premonition in his heart.
This premonition didn't come just now, but it already existed in Yongzhou. That's why he left Yongzhou first, planning to visit Nanyan's border town in person. Since Luo Yao's death, in fact, this anxiety has always existed in Fang Xie's heart. Fang Jie thought it was the pressure brought by the black shadow that had swallowed Luo Yaoxiu's base and soul, but after thinking about it carefully, the anxiety seemed to be more than just because of this.
Thinking of that black shadow, Fang Xie couldn't help frowning.
After so many days, Fang Xie was able to confirm that the black shadow was definitely not an illusion. Fang Xie can still clearly remember that look even now when he closes his eyes. Fang Jie always felt that he had seen such a look before, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find any fragments related to this look from his memory.
Quite simply, Fang Jie first used the method of elimination.
From the people he knew or heard about, he searched for the one that matched the black shadow that day.
First of all, King Dalun Ming is impossible, and neither is Yang Qi.
Fang Jie watched these two die together. On that day, under that majestic momentum, King Dalunming and Yang Qi walked to the end of their lives together. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Fang Xie would have suspected that the black shadow was King Dalun Ming. Because he can easily unlock Luo Yao's Vajra Realm, easily devour Luo Yao's cultivation base, and even take away Luo Yao's soul. Only the Great Wheel Ming King can do this, because the two of them are one. people.
Then Fang Xie's first thought was Da Zizai. Although Fang Jie had never met this person, Fang Xie knew that Da Zizai should definitely not be a guy who was easily killed. How could a person who dared to attack King Dalun easily admit defeat? Fang Jie heard rumors about Da Zi Zai from others more than once, and in any of the rumors, Da Zi Zai was portrayed as an absolute genius and a strong practitioner.
Among the Buddhist sects, he has no rivals except King Dalunming.
Some people even say that Da Zizai in Dalun Temple is completely qualified to challenge Dalun Mingwang. But later, Fang Jie also knew that because the method of Dalunming cultivation was controlled by Dalun Mingwang, he couldn't fight Dalun Mingwang at all. However, if this relationship is put aside, will Da Zizai's cultivation level be comparable to that of Dalun Mingwang, who has only half of his cultivation level left
Xiang Qingniu once said that he was helpless in front of Da Zizai. He said that he saw King Dalun Ming kill Da Zizai, but Fang Jie always felt that things were not that simple. Da Zizai can calculate everything, why can't he calculate Dalun Mingwang and finally kill him
A wise man would not make such a low-level mistake.
Fang Jie suspected that the black shadow, even Da Zizai, had turned into a disgusting thing like King Dalun Ming, a mass of souls floating around, waiting for an opportunity to strike at any time. But if this is the case, shouldn't he be the second target of Da Zi Zai? After devouring Luo Yao's cultivation, Da Zizai is fully capable of killing himself, but until now, that black shadow still hasn't appeared again.
So Fang Jie felt that it would not be a great freedom.
Of course, Fang Jie also thought of Zhang Yiyang, who happened to be in Wudang Mountain in Yongzhou just after Luo Yao died. According to his cultivation, Zhang Yiyang, who had already reached the sky, would be able to break through the Vajra Realm arranged by Luo Yao, who was already dying. , shouldn't be a problem. But Xiang Qingniu had never heard of it before, and Daozong also had such a practice method of devouring. This seems to be the secret of Buddhism, unless Zhang Yiyang has also realized this method.
If so, then obviously not a good thing.
Because Zhang Yiyang is old enough, it is time for him to need a substitute.
But Zhang Yiyang also didn't kill Fang Jie. If it was him, Zhang Yiyang had many chances to take Fang Jie away when he was in Yongzhou, and then seized his soul.
If it wasn't Zhang Yiyang, who else could it be
Fang Jie knew that there were some old monsters in Tonggu Academy, but those old monsters were killed when the old dean Wan Xingchen went south. If they understand Buddhism, they won't be so old.
Who could it be
…
…
While Fang Jie was meditating, something happened. The Nanyan Emperor Murong Hui was frightened by the loud noise outside the Weiran Hall, and his face changed. It seemed that something happened earlier than Fang Xie expected.
Outside the town, dozens of black figures loomed in the rain. A hundred meters away from the dark post set up by the Xiaoqi School, all these shadows stopped. The leader made a few gestures, and the shadows dispersed immediately. Strangely, they were able to melt into the rain curtain, as if they had become transparent people.
And the secret whistle of the Xiaoqi School was completely unaware.
