Chapter 256: There is no room for guests in the white cloud sky

The plane was in the sky, and the little boy was a little restless, not because he was afraid, but because he was actually a little over-excited. The assistant sat across from him and looked at this little bumpkin with disdain. Li Muye sat down next to her and closed his eyes to rest. Xu Jiwei on the side reminded Zhang Fenglai from time to time not to affect others by talking nonsense.

"Uncle Li, is Moscow as big as Xi'an?" Zhang Fenglai's excitement was beyond Xu Jiwei's ability to suppress.

"You little fool." The assistant rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Why don't you ask your Uncle Li if a sparrow is as big as an eagle?"

Zhang Fenglai said: "Don't think that you can look down on people just because you have read a few more books. I have studied geography and know that Moscow is the capital of Russia and must be bigger than Xi'an."

"Then it depends on the comparison." Li Muye said: "Compared to history, of course Xi'an is better than it is. When comparing the size, the urban area of Xi'an is about four times that of the central area of Moscow, but the area under the city's jurisdiction is even smaller. It was a lot, and the population was nearly double that of Moscow. Nine hundred years ago, Moscow was only the size of a small town, while Xi'an was the most powerful city in the world at that time."

Xiaofen said with a mocking tone: "Do you understand?"

"Uncle Li, you are so amazing." Zhang Fenglai looked at Li Muye with admiring eyes and said, "Not only is he well versed in the affairs of the world, but he is also so knowledgeable in geography and humanities. No wonder my grandpa asked me to worship you as my master and follow you from now on. You conquer the world together."

"Remember, you are my nephew. From now on, you are not allowed to talk about whether you are the master or not." Li Muye opened his eyes and looked at him, saying: "I don't need your loyalty, as long as you treat me as your uncle, think about it Your father, this life is actually very short. As your uncle, I hope you can live a good life for yourself."

"I understand." Zhang Fenglai nodded solemnly and said, "According to what my mother said, I will treat you like my biological father from now on."

Xiaofen said: "Little brat, if you treat him as your biological father, then I will be your stepmother."

Zhang Fenglai suddenly made a serious face and said: "Old woman, you are so anxious to be a mother, why don't you give birth to one by yourself?"

Xu Jiwei's face darkened, he hit the kid on the head and said, "Don't talk to Assistant Xiaofen like that, she is the God of Wealth of our group."

Zhang Fenglai stuck out his tongue and said, "Then I'll call her grandma."

Xiaofen smiled, pinched the man next to her, and said proudly: "This is good, I have all sons and grandsons all at once."

Li Muye knew that she had always wanted to have a child, but he had always taken measures to prevent her from getting pregnant. Xiaofen felt a little bit resentful about this matter. Although she likes to quarrel with the little evil, it's not because she hates the child. In fact, it's quite the opposite. She just has a bit of maternal nature and is not good at expressing it appropriately.

Then he thought of Bai Wugou and Yang Qiansui. The conditions for them to agree to Xiao Evil's departure were quite harsh. If the conditions were favorable, Li Muye would really rather give them Gigabytes. It's a pity that these two people are so determined that money and goods will be paid. If they give money, they will never allow an extension of time. But if you agree to help find the three strange objects, you can take them away on the spot.

These three rare objects are: three-legged golden toad, black tiger skin and ambergris coral. If you find one, you have fulfilled your promise.

The first one is not easy to find. There is an old saying in the past that three-legged toads are hard to find, while two-legged toads are everywhere. Taoism has a clear summary of the three-legged golden toad: a toad with three legs is called a toad. According to folklore, it can spit money out of its mouth, which is a thing that brings wealth. In fact, this thing has a keen ability to detect gold.

The second one is the black tiger. Bai Wuguo said that this object is only harder to find than the three-legged golden toad. It is said in the explanation of Chinese characters that Lin is a black tiger. The Jiajing edition of the Qing Dynasty's Erya Shi beast records are more specific. There are two kinds of lin beasts, one of which is the black tiger. It rides the wind through the mountains, roars in the spring forest, and feeds on tigers. This means that black tigers can fly through the tree crowns like leopards and like to eat tigers as food. The Japanese insect master calls the black tiger a divine insect, the king of insects among the kings of insects, even rarer than the scorpion.

Li Bai wrote in the Great Hunting Fu: The osprey is used to look at the zodiac, and the fire is powerful and the enemy is smoke. This 甝 refers to the female black tiger, which is all white and has a ferocious nature.

As for the third strange object, ambergris, Li Muye had never heard of it. Yang Qiansui explained that this object had an extraordinary origin and only grew on the lower body of a giant sea beast. At that time, Li Muye thought that the giant beast he was talking about was the sperm whale, but Yang Qiansui denied this statement. He said that although the giant beast was a whale and had a similar appearance to a sperm whale, it was not the same thing as a sperm whale. This beast is all white, its size is twice that of an ordinary male adult sperm whale, and its lifespan is almost infinite.

In the Han Dynasty, fishermen caught some off-white, fragrant waxy drifts in the sea. This was the finished ambergris that had been naturally modified for many years. It ranges from a few kilograms to dozens of kilograms. It has a strong fishy smell, but it can emit a long-lasting aroma after drying. When lit, it is full of fragrance, which is more fragrant than musk.

Some local officials purchased the treasures and presented them to the emperor as treasures, which were used as spices or medicines in the palace. At that time, no one knew what kind of treasure it was. They consulted the "chemists" and alchemists in the palace. They believed that it was the saliva of the "dragon" in the sea when it was sleeping. It dripped into the sea water and solidified. Over time, it became "Ambergris". Some people also say that in the Yin, Shang and Zhou dynasties, people had mixed ambergris, musk and plant spices to make sachets and hung them on the bedside or on the body.

Yang Qiansui said that in Chapter 33 of the Huainan Ziwai, it is recorded that this strange beast is the king of sea beasts. It has been preying on another multi-armed giant beast in the deep sea for many years. This beast has a beak-like mouth, which cannot be digested by this giant beast. , remaining in the stomach and gradually forming a thick, dark-colored lumpy substance. Over time, it will be excreted by the beast and adhere to the surface of the body, with coral polyps attached to it, gradually forming a special jade-like shape. Coral is called ambergris.

Li Muye asked him at that time, this thing is so rare, why are you looking for it? Can you become an immortal if you eat it

Yang Qiansui replied that this product cannot be taken directly. Anyone who takes it by mistake will become insane and crazy like a demon and will definitely die. Therefore, it can only be used as aromatherapy. Long-term absorption can improve physical fitness, remove evil spirits, and prolong life. It can also make people feel better. Youth remains. Even if the war breaks out, the corpse can be preserved for thousands of years.

Li Muye said that these three things are extremely difficult to find. Aren't you afraid that I will default on my debt and ask Liu Bei to borrow money from Jingzhou? Yang Qiansui said that the person who wanted this thing was Bai Wuxia, the master of Baiyuntang. Baiyuntang has never been afraid of debts.

In Agent City, a fierce real-force confrontation is underway, with two hundred Tire Gang members and fifty Mink Bear mercenaries on both sides. The venue is a simulated town, and there is only one confrontation content: destroy the opponent by any means necessary!

At this moment, the confrontation was coming to an end, and Diana was very unhappy, her face looking as ugly as possible.

The number displayed on the life detection instrument marked a battle loss ratio of 45 to 1. In other words, it takes 45 well-trained Tire Gang members to kill one Mink Bear mercenary member. The disparity made her angry.

Li Muye was sitting under the eaves, holding a bottle of cold beer in his hand, and was also paying attention to the outcome of this confrontation.

The overall situation has been decided. Xu Jiwei withdrew from his command position early. At this moment, he was holding a record book and reporting: "Ten minutes after the confrontation started, sniper Zhang Fenglai broke away from the battle order and sneaked into the central area of the confrontation alone. The current life monitoring equipment shows that he is still alive." With full survival status, a total of eighteen enemies were killed."

"Only eighteen?"

"They are all the opponent's snipers and heavy firepower shooters." Xu Jiwei said solemnly: "If he hadn't completely annihilated the opponent's hidden strike force alone, we wouldn't have such a beautiful battle loss ratio data."

"Do you think this battle loss ratio is something to be proud of?" Li Muye's face was as dark as water.

"I think it's really not bad." Xu Jiwei looked at Li Muye's gloomy face and chuckled: "Even if we send the strongest combat unit of the Heavenly Soldiers, it will be nothing more than this. War is based on objective laws, and bullets don't have eyes. , there will be no particularly ideal results.”

"Then how come the little bastard managed to go deep alone for so long without getting hurt?" Li Muye said: "The young men we brought out from Taisu Village should have received formal training longer than him. Doesn't this violate what you said? objective laws? Since some people can do it, why can't they do it? Now it's training. When it comes to actual combat, death is death. You have seen enough life and death. You should know why I want to be in each of them. It cost so much."

Xu Jiwei nodded and said: "I understand what the boss means. I will increase my training intensity when I get down."

"Increasing efforts must also pay attention to science, and pay more attention to cooperation with laboratories. The equipment that monitors vital signs and endocrine conditions mentioned earlier should be used by everyone. The higher the cost, the higher the cost." Li Muye warned: "All drugs approved for use to restore fatigue and enhance muscle strength and agility must be tested on living people and have mature technology and stable performance. In addition, the training volume of the little brat can be increased three times. Personal heroism is worthy of appreciation. , but the problems of being unorganized and undisciplined cannot be tolerated.”

Xu Jiwei responded with a yes and said: "Miss Anna is here, you guys can chat." After that, he turned around and left.

Li Muye tilted his neck to drink. Halfway through, Diana snatched the bottle away from him. Watching her drink most of the remaining bottle of beer in one go, he said with an apologetic smile: "This is the difference in tactical execution ability. After all, the commander next to me was once the top master."

"The main reason is that your sniper is too powerful." Diana disagreed and said angrily: "I personally formulated today's tactics, otherwise, these bastards will have their heads shaved by Xu Jiwei!" She sighed softly, and then Said: "Although I don't want to admit it, I must accept this reality. In addition to courage, war requires more brains. In this regard, the Russians drink too much strong alcohol. These bastards from the Tire Gang are better at discipline than your mercenary members." There’s a huge difference in performance and execution.”

"Whatever is yours and mine belongs to us." Li Muye smiled and said, "There is no need to distinguish between us so clearly."

Diana said: "People and feelings can belong to you without reservation, but the rights and lives of Russia's daughters belong to Russia."

This was one of the reasons why Li Muye left Moscow in the first place. Two pure and independent people can love each other, but it is difficult for two people who represent different interest groups to get along completely and completely. When there is a conflict between the two, there will be no second suitable solution except maintaining a safe distance.

"Am I not Russia's closest partner?" Li Muye said with a slight sigh.

"Of course you are." Diana said: "And I hope it will always be the case." She paused for a moment, and then said: "The person you are looking for has appeared. My people detected that they moved in last night. The leader of the Central Hotel is a short old Chinese man, and there is a 90% chance that he is Huo Sen." (End of Chapter)
