499: I'll make you so angry!
Xu Chuanzhong's words shocked the four of them greatly because it was completely beyond their imagination; if it hadn't been told by Xu Chuanzhong himself, they certainly wouldn't have believed it if someone else had said it.
"Wait, that's not right!" Geng Nanfeng suddenly thought of a problem and shouted.
"What's not right?" Qi Xuming asked from the side.
Geng Nanfeng took a deep breath and said to Xu Chuanzhong, "Brother Xu, you said you saw it with your own eyes? But you are currently in Southern Yue City, and there is quite a distance to Linhai City. How can you see the war situation there with your own eyes? Do you have clairvoyance? Or are you saying you ran here after seeing it with your own eyes there?"
"That makes sense!" Qi Xuming realized and nodded involuntarily.
Looking at the suspicious gazes cast by the two, Xu Chuanzhong hesitated slightly on his face and snorted, "That's right! So what if I have clairvoyance? The facts are the facts anyway. You should get lost quickly; there's no need for you to come here and join in the excitement!"
"Oh?" Geng Nanfeng and Qi Xuming looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter at the same time!
Xu Chuanzhong was stunned and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
Geng Nanfeng laughed, "Brother Xu, you are in such a hurry to make us leave, could it be that you have some motive?"
"Motive? What motive could I have? The war situation at Shanhai Pass and Linhai City is very urgent. Why aren't you going to support them, but instead came to Southern Yue City? Isn't this a waste of time?" Xu Chuanzhong said.
"What does the urgent war situation in those two cities have to do with us? There are so many pillars of the nation holding the line there; our two old bones won't go meddling. On the contrary, this Southern Yue City is nice, with green mountains and clear waters, and a gentle mysterious breeze. I heard there is also a Yan Yu Stage here, and the scenery is particularly charming. We were just thinking of going to take a look!" Geng Nanfeng stroked his beard and said leisurely.
"You?! This is simply unreasonable! In this time of national crisis, you actually still have the mood to go sightseeing?! Where is your integrity? Where are your ambitions? Where is your sense of responsibility? Where have they all gone?!" Xu Chuanzhong shouted sternly.
"Yo, Brother Xu, don't try to use moral kidnapping to deal with us. You have the nerve to lecture us, why don't you talk about yourself? Why aren't you going to support Shanhai Pass and Linhai City yourself? Aren't you running to Southern Yue City just like us?!" Geng Nanfeng teased.
"You..." Xu Chuanzhong was speechless for a moment, his face turning blue with stifled anger, and he glared fiercely at the two.
Geng Nanfeng continued, "Moreover, you just told us about the miraculous features of Long Yuan's qilin war chariot. Our interest is now greatly piqued, and it is impossible for us to leave without finding Long Yuan to understand it clearly! The more you don't let us go, the more we will go. Piss you off!!!"
"Let's go!" Qi Xuming shouted decisively, and the flying boat turned, flying off into the distance!
"Where are you going?!" Xu Chuanzhong shouted anxiously.
"Haha, of course, it's to Southern Yue City!" Qi Xuming laughed.
"Bastard! I will absolutely not let you enter the city!" Xu Chuanzhong roared anxiously and flew to catch up...
He was so anxious naturally because he thought of a problem: these two old geezers would never go out easily, and even less likely would they go out together so ostentatiously, even bringing a stunningly beautiful young girl from their respective clans to follow by their side. Thinking that their purpose for coming here must be to find Long Yuan, it could be said that the intentions of these two old geezers were known to everyone!
He was truly full of regret in his heart. Just now, in a moment of being loose-lipped, he had actually blurted out the miraculous features of the qilin war chariot, which resulted in them being even more determined to see Long Yuan. And once they saw Long Yuan, they would be even less likely to leave, which was extremely disadvantageous for him to complete his Family mission!
What he didn't know, however, was that Qi Xuming and Geng Nanfeng had actually long since established a relationship with Long Yuan, and had even been paying attention to Long Yuan back when he was in Fengyang. This time, they had come specifically to support Nanyue Base. In fact, the two of them were just the first to arrive, and a large number of clan disciples were following behind them. Therefore, no matter what he said, those two would still see Long Yuan.
This scene of theirs naturally fell into the eyes of Long Yuan. Long Yuan just smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart, but his gaze was fixed on two light screens, watching carefully. One was the situation in the Ming court at this moment, and the other was the situation at Shanhai Pass...
Although the attack of the Sea Race had been repelled at Shanhai Pass, it was only temporary. In reality, the giant god cannon had only taken advantage of the Sea Race being unprepared to injure a portion of the Sea Race experts, and Nian Kuo just happened to be injured, so he hurriedly retreated in a panic. But once he came to his senses, he would understand that the Ming giant god cannon was not as terrifying as imagined; not only did it miss over a dozen experts, but it was also only able to hit them because of its suddenness. If they could detect it when being locked on and dodge in time, there would be no issue.
Now, most of the high-end combat power of the Sea Race was still preserved, and there were over ten medium-sized Sea Race forces replenishing behind, including dozens of high-end combatants. Such a force was extremely terrifying. Not only did they not want to retreat, but they were also plotting to continue the attack, at least to avenge this deep blood feud!
Now this group of high-end combat power was gathered on an island, plotting secretly. Although they were using the language of the Sea Race, with the omniscient and holographic capabilities of the Heavenly Eye, Long Yuan was still able to understand what they were discussing. Hearing their plans, Long Yuan couldn't help but look at the Sea Race with new eyes. If it weren't for him, Shanhai Pass would surely have fallen without a doubt!
"Fortunately, I let Qian Xiaosen lead the team over, otherwise this hurdle would be hard for Xu Yanran to pass..." Long Yuan thought secretly to himself, while transmitting the information he obtained to Xu Yanran and Master Qing Yuan via mobile phone. Now, these two were basically relying on Long Yuan's information to command this war.
On the other side, in the Ming court, there was a different atmosphere at this moment. The Emperor Ming sat high on the dragon throne, his expression flickering in the light of the pearls. Below the steps, Prince Rui, Prince Ding, Prince Lu, Prince Gong, and several other princes, as well as the six grand secretaries of the cabinet and a large number of civil and military officials were all gathered here. The atmosphere appeared somewhat heavy and murderous!
The war had broken out, and the country was in danger. Everyone's heart was hanging in mid-air; no one dared to show even a hint of relaxation at this time, and in such a heavy atmosphere, no one would have such thoughts.
However...
There were a few people whose moods were different, and that was the four powerful princes participating in the struggle for the succession!
In their view, the outbreak of a war of national crisis level should have been a good time for them to show their Divine Might and make contributions. If they could slaughter in all directions in such a great battle and establish their own absolute authority, then inheriting the throne and ascending to the throne would be a matter of course. However, what they didn't expect was that they were actually all grounded here!!!
The Emperor Ming not only did not let them go to the front line to charge and kill, but also bound them in the court. This made them very puzzled and also felt extremely stifled. They couldn't figure it out; they really couldn't figure it out. Could it be that without relying on famous swords of the Ming Dynasty like themselves to charge and fight, just relying on those old, weak, sick, and disabled people outside could repel the Sea Race?
Had he been a carpenter for too long that even his brain had been ruined?
