Chapter 439 Authorization (seeking a monthly ticket)(1/8)
"Kick him away, just drive him away. I don't like him. There is no need to discuss this matter. How can I not drive him away? I want his life!"
As for the cultivation tower, what's the problem? It's only ten days before the competition. What can he achieve through cultivation?
Is the cultivation tower better than the holy realm? Bullshit." Gao Gang slapped the table and cursed angrily.
"I also heard that Qiu Bai may have reached Consummation." Bu Qingyun said.
"Impossible! How could Qiu Bai have just entered the early stage of becoming a great martial artist? How could he suddenly reach the state of perfection? Unless he took the elixir, he would still be almost there." Gao Gang snorted.
"Even if it hasn't reached Consummation, it's probably in the middle to late stages. It's all Tang Wen's fault." Qiu Jin snorted.
"That's fine, that kid will definitely participate in the Sixth Academy Competition. When the time comes, I'll just find a way to cripple him." Gao Gang snorted.
"These days we have to increase our efforts to train Dongmen Xiao. Once Dongmen Xiao reaches the realm of a great martial artist, when Tang Wen encounters him, he will have to decide whether he will live or die," Qiu San said.
"If we really can't open the 'ancestral library', we can directly instill skills into Dongmen Xiao and use the skills left by our ancestors to help Dongmen Xiao cross the great realm." Gao Gang said.
"Another battle was defeated. I gave you food and drink, but once you went to the battlefield, you all turned into cowards and cowards! No one can worry about it for me. Do you think you are naive and want to destroy Chu?" The imperial study room has just received the battle report from the front line. Chu Bei
Li Lian smashed several antique bottles.
The eunuchs and maids accompanying him did not dare to express their anger, and Chu Yang, the thirteenth emperor's uncle, also stood beside him with a gloomy look on his face.
"Your Majesty, Great Qin's war power is too strong. It's not that the soldiers at the front are not working hard. But they are so powerful that there is nothing they can do." Prime Minister Luo Pu said.
"Go, go, go!" Chu Beili waved his sleeves to chase them away.
All the ministers were so frightened that they fled away quickly, leaving only the Thirteenth Emperor's uncle to accompany them.
"Father, I have something to report." At this time, Chu Luoxiang's voice came from outside the door.
"Why are you causing trouble if you don't practice hard? I'm annoyed. Luo Xiang, if your practice hadn't stopped before, would your father still be so worried now?" Chu Beili snorted.
"Father, do you remember Tang Wen?" Chu Luoxiang said.
"It's him again? He has no ability, he keeps asking for promotion, and the emperor is still not satisfied even after giving him a first-class title?" Chu Beili said.
"Father, this man is very capable, and he is the one who forced the Sun Kingdom to seek peace," Chu Luoxiang said.
"So what? The Sun Kingdom's defense is incomparable to that of the Qin Kingdom." Chu Beili said.
"Father, please look at this." Chu Luoxiang took out an AK gun.
"What are you doing with a firearm? It's useless. It can be used against ordinary soldiers, but it can't be used against experts." Chu Beili glanced at it, not bothering to look at it.
"It's different, Father." Chu Luoxiang said.
"Why is it different? It's just that the shape is a little strange." Chu Beili said.
"This is from the West, and it is much more powerful than our firearms. Our muskets can only hit forty or fifty meters, but these Western firearms can hit the target from two miles away.
There is also a aiming hole on it, which is very accurate. If it is locked, it is basically impossible to survive.
Father, if you think about it, if the enemy army rushes forward, even their guns and swords will not be able to reach us.
When our firearms are fired, we can kill a large number of them from a mile away.
Although he can't deal with the masters, if he can eliminate a large number of ordinary soldiers, he can also turn the tide of the battle." Chu Luoxiang said.
"How is it possible to hit one mile away?" Chu Yang looked unbelieving.
"It's true. If Father doesn't believe it, let's go to the training ground and try the firearms now. Moreover, the Tang family's firearms are not just this one, they also have machine guns and grenades, which are more powerful than this." Chu Luoxiang said.
"Let's go!" Chu Beili was tempted, and soon he ran towards the training ground.
Bang bang bang...
Seeing that the tree a mile away was riddled with holes, Chu Beili looked shocked.
"There is also this machine gun, which is more powerful." There was a rattling sound, and the trees were smashed into pieces.
Chu Luoxiang threw another grenade, and with a booming explosion, a big hole was blown out of the ground.
"This is how the Tang family used tens of thousands of soldiers to kill hundreds of thousands of the Sun Kingdom's army, forcing them to sue for peace." After the fight, Chu Luoxiang said with a proud face.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chu Beili said.
"I thought the eldest brother would say that because he forced Tang Wen to ask for firearms, but Tang Wen didn't give them to him," Chu Luoxiang said.
"You mean he asked Tang Wen for firearms in private?" Upon hearing this, Chu Beili's face darkened.
"Yes, the Tang family opened a shopping mall, and the eldest brother asked Chu Ping to lead the Imperial Forest Army to demolish it and use this as an excuse to demand 10,000 firearms." Chu Luoxiang said.
"It is rumored that Tang Wen has entered the palace, I will see him now." Chu Beili said.
"This man has a big business, father. Not only does he have firearms, but he also has elixirs, swords and weapons, and even treasures such as space bags and big red fruits.
The toilet has been moved next to the bedroom, and there are also shocking things such as electric lights.
Last year, when I was granted the title of Marquis, the biggest result was of course the great defeat of the Sun Kingdom bandit army.
However, in just over two years, he has donated tens of millions of taels of silver to the court.
There are also tents, firearms, etc. How about the Shen family, known as the richest man in Chu, but they have not donated so much silver and materials." Chu Luoxiang said.
"The donations alone are tens of millions, so the Tang family is quite wealthy." Chu Yang was also surprised.
"More than two years ago, he was only a third-class baron. Taking advantage of the war in the northwest, he donated money in exchange for military merit, and step by step he was promoted to a first-class baron. This was all his hard work.
The Tang family has declined. In the end, even the ancestral home was sold, and it was all up to him to build such a big situation from a desert island owner by himself.
Although this man was rich in wealth, he was kind to people and did not put on airs. He was even more loyal to the court. He gave people money, money and food.
Regarding firearms, in fact, the Blood Killing Hall and the Secret Agent Mansion have already received a batch of donations, but only a few hundred guns.
These firearms and supplies were transported from the distant Western Ocean. The journey was long, coupled with pirates and bad weather along the way, so the cost was very high.
Father, don't talk about anything else, I have secretly calculated that Tang Wenguang has paid 100 million taels in taxes over the past two years." Chu Luoxiang said.
"If you pay 100 million in taxes alone, then the Tang family will be worth at least a billion..." Zhao Yang became even more nervous.
"More than that, he has probably invested tens of billions of taels just in the construction of several islands in the south." Chu Luoxiang shook his head.
"Based on these, the Tang family can definitely join the ranks of the top ten wealthiest families in Chu." Zhao Yang said.
"Father, this person has been influenced by Western etiquette and is very disgusted with kneeling.
Therefore, I hope that my father can spare him the need to bow down.
This person can be called a sharp weapon for the country, so you must keep it in your hands. Give him grace and let others enjoy it.
Only in this way can he be devoted to protecting my great Chu." Chu Luoxiang said.
Tang Wen was sleeping in the mall, but he was woken up by Mei Zhenhong, saying that Qiu Yuan had something to do with him.
When I came to the living room, I found that Qiu Bai had been waiting for him for a long time, and there was a middle-aged eunuch sitting next to him.
"Master Hou, this is Eunuch Li Jing from the palace, here to convey the order." Seeing Tang Wen come out, Qiu Bai quickly stood up and introduced.
"Tang Wen received the order... The Marquis of Zhenhai has made indispensable contributions in defeating the thieves of the Kingdom of the Sun. I give you a special gift not to kneel before you.
It is the privilege not to kneel when meeting the emperor, empress dowager, queen, concubines, princes, uncles, princes, princes, etc.
The special reward is a free kneeling card..." Li Jing herself looked shocked as she read it.
You know, court etiquette is very particular.
Don't say that you, a marquis, don't have to kneel down. When meeting the emperor, even the prince has to kneel down in formal occasions.
Tang Wen also looked dazed and didn't know what was going on?
Although she was puzzled, she followed Li Jing to the palace.
This was the first time that Tang Wen entered the imperial palace after arriving in the capital. There was nothing unusual about the imperial palace of Chu State, except that it was larger, taller and more luxurious than the Forbidden City.
The city wall alone is thirty or forty meters high, and is entirely made of boulders weighing hundreds of thousands of kilograms.
A dozen of them are piled in a row, and special resin is used to bond them in the middle to make them solid. The walls are about a hundred meters thick.
Such a huge stone is difficult to blast away even with modern cannons and howitzers.
If the enemy army attacks the capital and the palace, the palace will be able to hold on for several years just by relying on this strong fortress.
The scope of the palace is not small, it is more than ten miles long from east to west, and seven or eight miles long from north to south. It also surrounds several hills.
There is even a river flowing through the palace.
The moat outside is over a hundred meters wide, making it quite difficult to cross.
Of course, for those strong men who are as strong as martial arts disciples, martial arts masters, and great martial arts masters, the city wall can no longer stop them.
Because the height of one jump can reach a hundred meters, which has already exceeded the height of the city wall.
There are many fortresses on the upper floors of the palace, with red cannons mounted inside.
After entering the palace and passing through many palaces and buildings, Tang Wenzheng admired the ancient buildings.
"Boy, why did you come to the palace?" A familiar voice came from the front. Tang Wen raised his eyes and saw that they were enemies on a narrow road. It was that old guy Zhou Kuohai.
Next to Zhou Kuohai stood a beautiful woman, several palace maids, and several guards.
The woman was dressed in a snow-white white house, her skin was as smooth as goat's milk, and she looked like a beauty. Judging from her appearance, she looked like a royal concubine in the palace.
Tang Wen ignored him and went straight to his own way.
