Chapter 191: Be yourself
Xia Wujiang was sitting in the city lord's palace in Longchuan City, swiping his fingers quickly on his mobile phone to keep in touch with Jing Congyun and others who were far away in the imperial capital.
Through his mobile phone, he learned that although Zhao Wuya was killed, he was resurrected in his cave. In this way, although three extraordinary people were apparently killed today, excluding the resurrected Zhao Wuya and those who were not his own.
In fact, only one person died in Yunfan.
Of course, this is just a comfort to the heart. The death of three extraordinary people sounds like a great defeat. If it were the death of one extraordinary person, it can be said that in war, there will inevitably be casualties.
The door to Xia Wujiang's room was open, and subordinates and generals were constantly coming in and out, placing documents that he needed to review on his desk.
It started to rain lightly outside the window. Under the fine autumn rain, the newly conquered Longchuan City seemed to be showing some signs of restlessness.
Not long after the war started, Jing's army withdrew back to Longchuan City. Their casualties could be seen by anyone who cared. Many people must have heard the shouts of "Long Live His Majesty Emperor Tianwu" outside the city during the day.
The unrest among the aborigines in the city is not enough to worry about. What is at stake is the military morale and the already wavering sect power.
Xia Wujiang put away his cell phone, picked up the information on his desk, and frowned after taking a look at it. Among the 40,000-strong Elephant Turtle Army, more than 40% of the people were killed or injured and lost the ability to fight today.
.
The other army with the heaviest casualties was the most elite Longxiang Army under his command. Even two generals in the Shen Tong realm were killed, not to mention their soldiers. They were trying their best to stop Emperor Tianwu's wanton killing today.
.
Xia Wujiang glanced at the rain outside the window. Through the fine rain curtain, he could see soldiers standing guard under every light. Looking further away, he could also see people repairing formations by the city wall, preparing
Prepare for tomorrow's war.
He has never been a person who likes to sigh, so he couldn't help but sigh at this moment. He stretched out his hands to cover his face. After removing his hands, his face returned to the calmness of a mountain.
Xia Wujiang stood up and walked downstairs. There was a relatively spacious living room in the main palace of Longchuan City. It was now converted into Jingjun's frontline headquarters. Xia Wujiang opened the door of the living room. The subordinates in the room
They all stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to him.
"Xia Shuai, the Peregrine Falcon Division discovered the movements of the Feng Division of the Guards Corps in the north of Longchuan City. We..."
Xia Wujiang stretched out a palm to stop this subordinate from reporting military information to him. He walked to the main seat in the living room and turned to face his subordinates.
"We performed very well today. If I remember correctly, our Jing Army should be the first army in history to challenge Emperor Tianwu head-on." Xia Wujiang showed a smile on his face and nodded approvingly to his subordinates.
"You may be like me before, guessing whether today's Emperor Tianwu is true or false, but no matter whether he is true or false, so what?
If he is true, it means that this Tianwu Emperor is not that mysterious. He wants to destroy a city and a country. The Longxiang Army alone is enough to stop him, but that's it.
If he is fake, then there is nothing to be afraid of. All super powerful power has its price. Otherwise, Wu Guo would have used such a trump card long ago, so why wait until today?"
The generals in the reception room put down the things in their hands and looked at the commander-in-chief. Inspired by his words, they unconsciously straightened their backs.
"Hundreds of years have passed since Emperor Tianwu dominated the world. He could dominate the world at that time, but hundreds of years later, he will be stopped by us even if he is countless times more powerful than he was then.
Don’t you know it yet? It’s our time now!”
Xia Wujiang's face was as flat as a lake and his chest was filled with thunder. The words from his mouth echoed passionately in the living room. His eyes swept over the people in the room and looked at them one by one, his eyes conveying his confidence.
and belief.
He did not mention the losses suffered by the Jing Army today under the fierce attack of the opponent, the death of three extraordinary men, the casualties of the elite main battle force, the destruction of the formation, and the fact that the enemy troops successfully crossed the Burial Dragon River.
"Li Shi, treat the injured officers and soldiers with the best medicine. If you are short of supplies, come to me at any time. There are several medical clinics in the city. In extraordinary times..."
"Qingyue, you have a very heavy task tomorrow. I don't know how much Longchuan City's defense formation can be repaired. You need to work harder..."
"Qingcheng, the Peregrine Division's investigation scope needs to be further extended. Your Majesty has received the news and will bring people to support soon. We must ensure that we are not cut off from Zhenbeiguan..."
Order after order was issued accurately from Xia Wujiang's mouth, and people in the conference room kept nodding in agreement and bowing out of the room.
After more than an hour, Xia Wujiang was finally the only one left in the room. He sat alone on the main seat in a daze for a while, then stood up and walked slowly to the window.
The rain is getting heavier.
...
Just as the war between Wu Kingdom and Jing Kingdom became more and more intense, Lu Chuan's home welcomed two new guests.
The efficiency of the Chamber of Commerce was much higher than he imagined. Not long ago, he had just made friends with Zheng Zeyu and Li Huaijin from the Ministry of Commerce and told them that he wanted to purchase civet cubs. In less than a week, Zheng Zeyu asked others to
The civet cub was delivered to him.
The civet cubs are not big, only about the size of Lu Chuan's hand. According to Zheng Zeyu, the two kittens should be two or three months old, one male and one female.
Both kittens looked a little afraid of strangers. They could sense that Lu Chuan was a "great monk" in the spiritual realm. They shivered in the incubator that was delivered to them and looked at Lu Chuan nervously.
Lu Chuan talked to the two kittens for a long time but got no response. If he wanted to communicate with them, he could either ask Dan Chengyuan for some talismans that could communicate with living creatures, or he could only ask for foreign help and ask Boss Thirty to come to his door.
a translation.
If you can talk by yourself, you don't need to bother with translation. Lu Chuan first contacted Dan Chengyuan and asked him about the talisman.
Dan Chengyuan also quickly replied to Lu Chuan's message. He was also helping with the investment conference in Dingxicheng recently. If Lu Chuan is not in a hurry, he will not be back until next week at the earliest.
So Lu Chuan could only make up his mind about Thirty. During this time, Huo Changge happened to go to Dingxi City. Lu Chuan was the only one at home. Lu Chuan used the right to use the recliner to seduce Thirty to come and stay for a while.
day.
Thirty responded to Lu Chuan very stylishly with a "cat nods" emoticon, and then followed it with a "coming soon" emoticon.
As a result, within two minutes, there was a knock on the door. Lu Chuan was a little surprised. How could he come from Zhang Sanwen's neighborhood so quickly? So he closed his eyes and used his spiritual vision to see that it was Jiang Mo.
"What's wrong? Aunt Li said today that you are about to take the midterm exam, and you have been studying hard for the exam recently." Lu Chuan went over and opened the door.
"Boss Thirty told me on WeChat that you bought two kittens!" Jiang Mo stood at the door and talked while peeking into the room. The incubator with the two kittens was placed on the table. Jiang Mo saw it at a glance.
.
Damn, you should be a human being at thirty, are you such a gossip? What good will it do to you to tell Jiang Mo in advance?
"Ang, your birthday is coming soon, isn't it? I'm going to give you a birthday gift, but I didn't expect it to be delivered so soon." Lu Chuan looked at Jiang Mo, whose eyes were shining, and turned sideways to let her into the house.
Jiang Mo didn't expect these two kittens to be gifts to her, and he didn't tell her in the news about Thirty. The little girl had an expression of surprise on her face, and then she felt a little embarrassed.
"Thank you, Lao Lu, I like this gift so much~"
"Thank you early. I'll thank you again when it's your birthday. I'll keep you here for the next two days. I'll give it to you when it's your birthday. It needs to be a ritual." Lu Chuan said with a smile, leaving a crack in the door. After thirty,
It will come soon, so there is no need to open the door again.
Of course Jiang Mo didn't care. She had to go to school during the day anyway, so she kept them at Lu Chuan's house or at her own house, which was just a few steps away from the corridor. Her attention was completely attracted by the two kittens, and her face was almost touching them.
On the wall of the thermostat.
She had never seen a civet cub before, and it was much smaller than she expected. This was the first time Zheng Zeyu helped Lu Chuan. He carefully selected the kittens. Both kittens were pure white in color, with no trace of variegation.
No, the round little head is really cute.
The two kittens were obviously even more frightened. Another big monk from the spiritual realm came, and this person wanted to reach out and touch them. It was too scary.
Jiang Mo's finger gently touched the cat's little head. The cat shrank its head. Jiang Mo also retracted his finger, with a look of surprise on his face, and then he laughed again.
Ever since the news of Jingguo's destruction of Wuguo's Northern Army came, Lu Chuan hadn't seen her smile so easily and naturally for several days.
"Can I feed them something to eat?" Jiang Mo pointed to a bag of finely chopped spirit grains placed next to the incubator and turned his head to look at Lu Chuan.
"Linggu was sent by the person who helped buy the cat. It should be edible. But it's best to wait for Boss Thirty. I've never raised one before."
What Lu Chuan was thinking was that since civets are ordinary spiritual beasts, they shouldn't be that delicate. They can't even eat this specially prepared spiritual grain. Wouldn't they have starved to death if left in the wild?
After the two of them played with the kitten in the room for a while, Thirty finally came to the door with the step of not recognizing any relatives. As soon as it entered the door, Lu Chuan, who was very courageous, glared at it. Thirty glared at it and went back, and Lu Chuan showed his heart.
A warm, kind and hospitable smile.
Thirty didn't understand Lu Chuan and Jiang Mo's cautious attitude towards the two kittens. Civet cats are spiritual beasts that can survive in the wild, so how can they be so valuable?
However, it recalled that it met Zhang Sanwen when it was a child, and Zhang Sanwen also treated it and Danian with such caution. It was clear that Zhang Sanwen was not very powerful at that time, but he still had to support them as a burden.
Oh, stupid humans.
The two kittens saw the thirty-year-old "senior of the same kind" as if they were seeing relatives. Senior, are you here to save us? These hateful humans have imprisoned us in this warm box and given us every day.
Feed delicious food!
In the end, with their expectant eyes, Thirty grabbed them out of the incubator and threw them one at a time towards Lu Chuan and Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo exclaimed and caught the kitten. Lu Chuan almost reacted and dodged to avoid the flying cat, but he still stopped himself and caught the kitten.
Thirty rolled his eyes speechlessly, stretched out his paws to grab a handful of spiritual grain and put it in the pet bowl. He asked the two cats to jump over and eat. At the same time, he gave the two kittens a "lecture" on how to interact with humans.
The experience of friendly cats.
Jiang Mo stayed at Lu Chuan's house for more than an hour before reluctantly going home to catch up on his missed homework. At thirty, he finally got the recliner he had longed for, and told Zhang Sanwen on his cell phone that he would not be going home today.
.
And during this hour, the two kittens also got their new names, Ping Ping and An An, under Thirty's disgusted eyes.
...
October 27th was a Friday. Lu Chuan handed over the two kittens to the 30th escrow and then went to work in the Science Department.
"Why did you abduct Thirty and stay home all night?" Zhang Sanwen asked as soon as he saw Lu Chuan. Last night, Thirty said he was going to play with Lu Chuan, but he didn't come back after going.
On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, we were all making trouble at home.
"Didn't I just buy two kittens, so I asked Boss Thirty to come over and give me some advice?" Lu Chuan felt a little embarrassed. Thirty didn't stay home all night, he would stay home for many, many nights.
Zhang Sanwen looked at Lu Chuan deeply, as if looking at an animal. Lu Chuan asked him about buying a cat, and he also knew that he wanted to give it to Jiang Mo as a birthday present.
"It will be very lively in Dingxicheng tomorrow, don't you want to go and take a look?"
Zhang Sanwen was not the first person to ask him. The two biggest news points in Utopia recently are the Jingwu War and the Dingxicheng Investment Promotion Conference. The former is too far away from Utopia, while the latter is something that many people are personally experiencing.
attended.
It's not that Lu Chuan didn't want to go, he just felt that the investment conference had nothing to do with him. Others who went to Dingxicheng to help were mostly to maintain order. He was a novice at the Spiritual Realm and had a troublesome physique. If he went there, he might cause trouble.
"Actually, I don't know what to do. I feel like there's nothing I can do to help, and it has nothing to do with our Science Department." Lu Chuan said truthfully.
"If you have no other arrangements, just go with me. Don't be so impatient at a young age. Go out and see more, meet new people, and be exposed to new things. It will be very helpful to you."
Zhang Sanwen said with a smile, "I feel like it has nothing to do with you now. After I go there and participate, maybe it will."
Lu Chuan nodded. Zhang Sanwen's point of view has always been this. It was the same last time he went to Wu State for a mission, and this time he went to Dingxi City. He hoped that Lu Chuan could see more of the world and participate in various things in Utopia.
Chapter completed!
