"Very good... Then, tell me, how do you refine the Sky Blood Puppet?"
Seeing this, Chu Tianxiao nodded and said.
"Yes, young master. According to the ancient records, the Sky Blood Puppet is a very evil thing. In order to make it, in addition to the Longquan Cauldron, you also need the 'Barbarian Demon Gold Nugget'... It is said that it is a demon thing, very rare, and I have only seen it in the catalog..."
"Hmm? Barbarian Gold Nugget? Sounds like the name of a block of metal?"
"Yes, young master, it does look like this..."
"Then take a look and see if this is it." Chu Tianxiao said, taking out an object, "On the night of the Forbidden City, the demons attacked. I picked up this object when I broke into the building, but I didn't know what it was used for. Could it be..."
Before Chu Tianxiao finished speaking, Bai Lao was already shocked. He quickly took the item and looked at it carefully. After a moment, he took a breath and bowed down, saying, "This is God's help for the young master to achieve an unprecedented achievement!"
"Oh, looking at your reaction, it seems to be true? That's perfect. Do you need anything else?"
"Well... the most important ones are these two. There are also some others, but they should not be difficult to obtain. They are as follows..." Old Bai slowly said the names of several materials. Chu Tianxiao wrote them down and nodded, "They are not rare. It just so happens that there are too many treasures in the secret realm that are damaged and cannot be taken out. I will give them to you to 'burn firewood'. Be sure to sacrifice the 'Heavenly Blood Puppet' as soon as possible!"
"This can be considered as a benefit of following me. Well, a body of a 'Heavenly Blood Puppet' should be no less than that of a genius master..."
After saying this, Old Bai raised his head and said gratefully, "Thank you, young master, for your help! I will definitely do my best to forge it and integrate it into the Sky Blood Puppet! This is the long-cherished wish of me and many of my old friends. If I don't succeed, I will die!"
After expressing his loyalty, Bai Lao paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If the Heavenly Blood Puppet is completed, the Loser Army will have to face the third problem, which is what I just mentioned..."
"I understand what you mean... but that's nothing to worry about."
Hearing this, Bai Lao thought Chu Tianxiao didn't take 'the crisis' seriously, and immediately became anxious - he was already a grasshopper tied to a rope with Chu Tianxiao, and hurriedly said: "Young Master, don't be careless! A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind! Once your defeated army is fully exposed, it will surely attract countless covetous people! Emperor Zhou, it is even more impossible for such a strong army to be controlled by you, the young master, instead of being tied up at that time, it is better to..."
After a pause, he said, "Young Master, I dare to ask you again, is your ambition really just..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Tianxiao waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "That's not my ambition."
Hearing this, Old Bai lowered his head and sighed, "Even if you are innocent, do others really think so? Things like this are not uncommon."
"At that time, will you obediently hand over the military power? Hand over the loser army you built to others?"
After saying this, Chu Tianxiao immediately shook his head: "Of course not! Once the Loser's Army is established, there can only be one commander, Chu the Loser, from beginning to end! Otherwise, what is the Loser's Army called?"
"That's it!" Bai Lao hurriedly hit the pole, "In the final analysis, the army you want to create is too... shocking. So, if you don't want to hand over the military power, you must change your ambitions!"
This was already very explicit, but Chu Tianxiao was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Indeed, your considerations are reasonable, which shows that you are truly surrendering, but this third problem... There is really no need to worry too much."
"As long as His Majesty is in power, he will never take back my military power."
Hearing this, Bai Lao frowned and asked, "Why are you so sure, young master?"
After he said this, Chu Tianxiao was silent for a long time before he spoke.
"Because... Mei'er."
After saying this, Chu Tianxiao began to pace slowly, looking towards the horizon, and continued leisurely: "Now that I think about it, Your Majesty said that day that you would grant me the marriage. On the one hand, you were a parent, but on the other hand, you hoped that I would refuse, so that I would feel guilty, and thus... Oh, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you really caught my weakness quite accurately."
"Everyone in Zhou thought that if I married Princess Tianmei, I would be a safe 'family member', but your vision went far beyond that... This move really impressed Tianxiao."
"It's not that I can't ask for it, it's that I can't give it up..."
"Fortunately... Although I have never had any romantic feelings for this naughty girl, I have never thought of embarrassing her. So, Your Majesty, although your move is brilliant, it actually hits the target. So, are we even?"
After mumbling these words, Old Bai frowned for a long time before he vaguely figured out the key. However, the more he figured it out, the more confused he became, and his tone was full of doubt.
"... Entrusting the family and country with important matters based on tacit understanding and trust, is this... too impulsive?"
Mr. Bai really can't feel at ease.
In his opinion, Chu Tianxiao's current idea is very dangerous. You know, if it is really constructed according to his idea - all arms, all weapons, all equipment, ignoring the weather and terrain - then the defeated army... will be a terrible force. The Seven Tigers Army of the Great Zhao and the Six Strong Armies of the Great Qin will only be three words in front of it - not good enough!
According to Bai Lao's estimation, if the Loser Army could really achieve "100% success", then there would be only a few armies in the world that could compete with it! And there would probably be only two armies that could threaten it with destruction - one is the hidden trump card Shaodi Army under the Great Zhao Dynasty, and the other is the world's recognized strongest army, the Luxian Army directly under the command of the Great Zhou General Ying Luxian!
In addition, if the rest of the armies meet the defeated army on the battlefield, as long as the number difference is not ten times as great, the defeated army will not be afraid. They can be slaughtered and annihilated when advancing, or swept away and defeated when retreating!
What such power means to a dynasty is self-evident. However, Chu Tianxiao seemed to deliberately "avoid" this question. What he said was almost entirely based on an idea that seemed extremely "naive" in the political arena. How could this reassure the "old grandfather" who was used to the hardships and evil hearts of people
"Alright, I've met His Majesty. As far as I know, he is different from any emperor so far. It can even be said that they are completely different people. It's better for you to be cautious, but there is really no need to get entangled in this matter."
"But… "
"No buts. I'll just say one thing - Dad believes in His Majesty and has been friends with him for decades, so I believe in him too." Chu Tianxiao looked at Old Bai deeply, "After being in the stinking ditch for so long, you will not believe that there is a bright and sunny world. I don't care if you were full of conspiracy theories in the past, but now that you have surrendered to me, why don't you make less trouble and be less suspicious? Wouldn't it be better to do more things with your time?"
