Chapter 660: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, but Haotian Is Behind? [Seeking Monthly Votes]
Yuyi Xian didn't notice Jiang Ziya's eyes and was busy arranging his sweater and hat:
"How can I, a mere Daluo, know the limits of His Royal Highness the Holy Son... I can only say that if you think he can do it, then you can come. If you think he can't, then you can't come. In short, Tathagata!"
The hooded sweatshirt this guy was wearing was a gift from Li Yu, and he usually took good care of it. If he hadn't come to show off to Jiang Ziya today, he wouldn't have been willing to wear it.
Jiang Ziya's eyes gradually became normal, and while walking into the city, he talked about the changes in Chaoge.
Everyone inside and outside Chaoge was prepared. Although Jiang Ziya was nothing, the list of gods he brought was a powerful tool for everyone to escape from the shackles.
The people on the list say they can be gods, but in fact they are puppets of heaven and have no freedom at all.
This is why Yuanshi Tianzun tried his best to prevent his disciples from being listed.
Now that the opportunity to make a new choice is right in front of them, all the Jie Jiao Immortals are very excited. Even Yun Xiao has returned from the Three Kingdoms World, fearing that something unexpected will happen before Jiang Ziya enters the city.
Taoist Duobao asked Our Lady of Golden Spirit:
"Has the list been drawn up?"
Our Lady of Golden Spirit nodded:
"All the disciples of our sect who have experience of cannibalism and killing have already made a list. Once the Conferred God Platform is repaired, in addition to killing the gods of Chan Cult, we will also clean up the scum of our sect according to the list. No matter Once the list of gods is filled up, we can’t take it lightly.”
The leader of Tongtian Cult has no threshold for accepting disciples, just call him "Master". As a result, there are millions of disciples, good and bad. Not only are there murderers and robbers, but there are even demons that feed on humans.
Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to become a god, we must catch all these disciples of the Jie Cult to prevent them from harming the human world again.
After getting rid of these people, Jie Jiao can change his fate of being riddled with karma and having no luck.
Qiong Xiao flew over with a bag of crushed ice and got in front of Yun Xiao:
"Sister, try the snacks sent by your brother-in-law. They are ice cold and super delicious... When will you go to the real world to marry your brother-in-law? We are still waiting to eat the wedding candies."
Yunxiao tidied Qiongxiao's hairpins lovingly and said:
"We are at a critical moment here, how can I walk away? Besides, going to the real world is not that simple. We can just wait for the good news. Don't rush Mr., lest it mess up his plan."
Bixiao flew over, took off the headphones on his head, and said coolly:
"We are going to be husband and wife, do you still call me sir?"
Turtle Spirit Holy Mother compares gossip:
"Husbands and wives also call each other "Sir" and "Mrs." We watched the movie "Love in the Rain" a few days ago. Isn't there such a title?"
Empress Shiji said:
"It's not like ancient times. I still think it's better to call someone husband or something like that. The word sir sounds like an elder in the school, so it's not suitable to be used to define the relationship between husband and wife."
Han Zhixian joined the discussion:
"Besides husband, are there any other titles among the people?"
Qiong Xiao often attends people's weddings and knows this better:
"There are also husbands, husbands, husbands, husbands...all kinds of things, everything is included."
A group of congenital singles were chatting enthusiastically about this topic, which made Yunxiao feel dizzy for a while. He always felt that it was time to find some work for them. If they continue to be so short-term, they are almost turning into talkative aunts.
In the real world, Li Yu hangs the bamboo shoots that need to be dried on the bamboo curtain in the courtyard. After they are completely dry, they can be stored for a long time. If you want to eat them, grab some and soak them again. Whether you make soup or stew, they are very delicious. .
After finishing these things, Li Yu started making fresh bamboo shoots.
Braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, bacon with bamboo shoots, stir-fried shredded bamboo shoots, braised spring bamboo shoots with bacon trotters, sliced bamboo shoots in sauce... There are all kinds of delicacies made from fresh bamboo shoots. Mu Guiying stood aside and prepared them carefully.
Her knife skills have surpassed Li Yu's. Whether she shreds or slices, she can achieve uniform thickness and consistent size, which directly improves the appearance of the food.
"Husband, if you stay busy for a while longer, you will be free when Sister Yunxiao comes over. Then we will cook, and you won't need to cook."
Li Yu asked with a smile:
"What? Are you two planning to take away my right to cook?"
The Queen is a rare virtuous person:
"You are a man, why can you be asked to cook all the time? It makes us seem very inconsiderate and disrespectful to our husbands. Moreover, others will accuse you of knowing how to cook and not being motivated."
Li Yu said:
“It’s not good to be addicted to cooking if you don’t have a penny or a girlfriend. But now I have nearly nine figures in cash in my bank account, hundreds of kilograms of gold in my vault, and four perfect wives. …This is not about being unmotivated, it’s about knowing how to enjoy life.”
I have already given birth to four wives through hard work, and if I am asked to work hard, do I have to have a family crisis to be satisfied?
Soon, a table of bamboo shoot-related dishes was ready. Li Yu took a photo and sent it to Professor Zhou:
"Lu Bu sent a cart of bamboo shoots. This is what I cooked today. I'll make another meal when you come back. I'll try to satisfy you."
Zhou Ruotong really likes to eat waxed pig's feet and braised bamboo shoots. When he saw the photo, he was instantly greedy:
"How about making me a pot the day after tomorrow? Will there be fresh bamboo shoots then?"
"There are some. Lu Bu has asked Lao Zhang to help preserve them. The bamboo shoots preserved with divine power will look the same as the ones dug out now, even if they are taken ten years later."
After sending the message, Li Yu took a bowl of soup and tasted it. The strong aroma of the cured pig's feet combined with the bamboo shoots was so refreshing that it was no wonder that Professor Zhou fell in love with this soup at first sight. It was indeed delicious.
Zhou Ruotong was still busy at the moment and didn't bother to chat. He made an appointment to have a video call in the evening and stopped replying to messages.
Li Yu took another sip of hot soup. In this cold autumn, he suddenly ate ingredients that were only available in spring, and the bleak feeling of autumn was instantly wiped away.
Mu Guiying said while eating:
"Xiao Feixue plans to stay in Dingbeicheng. I will go back after allocating the supplies. First, I will take Yang Jiye to the Yang family and bring the entire Yang family to our camp."
Now that Yuzhou City God has been canonized, Lao Yang must be allowed to play his role.
The biggest effect was to take away the generals of the Yang family who were repeatedly suspected by the Song Dynasty court, and let the emperor play hard-to-get.
To help the emperor fight a war, he actually had to ask his grandfather and grandma to say a lot of good things, make a lot of oaths, and even prepare his own food and grass. After the war, he had to be made things difficult by the emperor in every possible way.
It is difficult for people without a masochistic character to work under such an emperor.
Mu Guiying has already thought about it. If the Yang family surrenders, Yang Yanzhao will be stationed in Dingbeicheng. If such a fortified city with rich supplies cannot be defended, then the Yang family will really be unable to hold up the wall.
Li Yu asked:
"Aren't you going to let the Yang family participate in the fight against Xixia and Liao?"
"No, just me and Xiao Feiyang, Xiao Feixue. Do you think I should bring Deng Chanyu over? Two days ago, Xiao Feixue and I listened to the audio version of "The Romance of the Gods" and heard that she was raped by Tu Xingsun. Zhang Hui, we were so angry that we smashed the karaoke machine to pieces, this is all feudal dregs. "
What happened to Deng Chanyu was indeed tragic. She was so beautiful and had high martial arts skills. After being captured by the Xiqi generals, she was tied up and thrown to Tu Xingsun, who raped her.
After losing her virginity, Deng Chanyu no longer resisted, but instead came up with the idea of marrying a chicken, a chicken, a dog, and a dog. She willingly became the wife of Tu Xingsun, and even used tricks to persuade her father, Deng Jiugong, to surrender... This kind of personality is no longer a collapse. Okay, this is a collapse of heaven, but plots like this are very common in classical novels.
Hu Sanniang's whole family was killed, but she didn't care, and instead happily married Wang Ying. When Wang Ying molested Qiong Ying and was scolded, she was so angry that she wanted to kill Qiong Ying.
The same was true for Mu Guiying. All the young and old in the village were killed, but she still insisted on marrying Yang Zongbao regardless of the past grievances.
Hu Sanniang's fate has changed, and Mu Guiying has been promoted to the rank of Queen. If there is a chance later, she has to change Deng Chanyu's fate.
Li Yu took a bite of fried bamboo shoots and bacon and asked:
"Is it okay for Zhao Xue to stay in Dingbeicheng?"
"Don't worry, husband, there are tens of thousands of soldiers, and with the company of a bunch of canonized gods, Xiao Feixue can also go to the Wa Palace to have a meal with her master. It's very comfortable. She is also planning to take time to spend time with General Zilong in the Wa Palace. Let’s meet and show off our achievements.”
They were also attacking the Liao Kingdom. Zhao Yun was still in the preparation stage and had not set off, while Mu Guiying and Zhao Xue had already reached the vicinity of the Holy Mountain on the grassland and built a capital-level city.
When Zhao Yun heard this result, he was afraid that he would be so excited that he immediately sent troops.
While he was eating, Lu Bu came back from collecting supplies. When he saw a table of dishes, he quickly washed his hands and started eating. While eating the rice, he said that the chain saw was very useful:
"It feels like this thing can not only cut wood, but it should also be able to cut people with it."
Li Yu said:
"That's right. In zombie movies, no pistol, submachine gun, or assault rifle can be used. The main character's powerful weapon is basically a chain saw of various shapes."
When Mu Guiying heard that the chain saw was so easy to use, she became excited:
"Then can we equip some?"
Li Yu nodded:
"After dinner later, I will buy some high-power chain saws directly from the wholesale website, and the chains will be replaced with alloy models... You go back and see what else is missing in Dingbeicheng, and I will buy them all later."
Mu Guiying could laugh and joke about other things, but when it came to business, she was not sloppy at all. She filled a bowl of rice, covered the rice with some vegetables, and left with it, ready to eat and handle official duties.
By the time she returned, Li Yu had already finished his meal and was sitting in front of the computer downloading zombie movies for Lu Bu, especially those with chainsaw scenes. Lu Bu was going to play it for the entire army and then select ten warriors to act as chainsaws. The saw hand is specially responsible for attacking difficulties.
Li Yu bought some high-horsepower chain saws from a wholesale website, and also ordered some replaceable chains from the manufacturer to prevent them from being damaged beyond repair.
Mu Guiying took out a piece of paper, which was filled with the supplies Dingbeicheng needed.
Li Yu took it in his hand and looked at it:
"Solar power generation panels, ten cars; small coal stove with water tank, starting at 200;"
"Five excavators, five forklifts, ten tractors, one tanker of diesel and one tanker of gasoline."
Everything is densely packed, even disaster relief tents require hundreds of them.
Li Yu started to place an order according to this list. As for the excavator and forklift, he could just go to the agricultural machinery market in the western suburbs tomorrow to buy it.
As for the solar power panels, they can be shipped to the factory later.
Gu Ying's factory has a huge warehouse, which is specially used to pile up finished solar panels. There is a space-time gate in the warehouse, and administrators from all worlds can transport solar panels.
In order to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, Li Yu also ordered the factory that the entire warehouse could only store goods during the day, and no one was allowed to enter or exit at night.
Dundun's pendants are hung on all the doors and windows of the warehouse, and Dundun's large-scale spray-painted photos are posted inside to create a sense of security.
Seeing Lü Bu downloading movies, Mu Guiying also came over and copied all the movies and TV series saved on the computer to her mobile hard drive, leaving them for Zhao Xue to use to entertain her.
Of course, it was said to entertain Zhao Xue, but it was likely that the soldiers would watch it together through a large outdoor projection.
Li Yu asked:
"Are there still many tribes around Dingbei City?"
"There were quite a lot before, and now the nearest one is a hundred miles away. There are already several thousand people in the city, basically Han slaves captured by the grassland people, and a few grassland people who have completely returned. I asked the soldiers in the army to treat them equally. They cannot bully them, but they cannot flatter them either. Just treat them as our own people."
Seeing some peanut candies on the table, Lü Bu tore one open and put it in his mouth:
"Brother, after taking Yizhou, do you think I should go down the river directly to find trouble with Liu Biao, or pacify the southern barbarians first? Zhang Song read the original book, and he said that the southern part of Yizhou The counties in the province have never been stable. We should take this opportunity to pacify them in one fell swoop, so as not to disturb the city and affect the people's livelihood. "
Li Yu thought for a while and said:
"We can divide the troops into two groups, one group will go out of Sichuan by water, and the other group will go to pacify the southern barbarians... As long as one group of troops enters the heartland of Jingzhou, the Jingzhou gentry will naturally make a wise choice. "
At this point, Li Yu asked:
"What does Mr. Wenhe say?"
"It's the same as what you said. You two are really super strategists. You even have the same ideas. "
Li Yu: "..."
I understand that you flatter me, but it makes me feel guilty.
The battle of Yizhou should end quickly, so that the B&B will have a real super strategist in charge, instead of a half-baked cobbler like me.
After praising Li Yu, Lu Bu flattered Mu Guiying:
"Sister, have you captured many sheep?"
"A lot. There are several times more sheep in the city than people. There are also sheep on the grassland outside the city. We are going to slaughter some of them and make them into dried meat for storage... Junior brother, what's wrong with your big eyes of the Hope Project? Do you have any ideas?"
Lu Bu sighed slightly with melancholy:
"Zhang Song said that he had a poor family since he was a child and had never eaten mutton. Hand-pulled mutton was unheard of. As the commander, I feel very sad. I always feel that I am wrong. I can't afford to be a brother to you."
Mu Guiying said speechlessly:
"Just tell me the number you want, and you can skip the sentimental part."
Lu Bu immediately changed his face:
"Get us two or three hundred sheep. It's been cold lately, so I'll make some sheep soup for everyone to warm up. I won't say anything extra. If I come across something good in Yizhou tomorrow, I'll prepare some for my senior sister."
Mu Guiying directly promised 500 sheep, but not for free. When they take Chengdu, half of Liu Yan's gold will be shipped to the B&B.
Speaking of gold, Lu Bu asked Li Yu:
"Brother, can you get a few coin-making equipment? The Han Dynasty needs a unified currency. Otherwise, moving copper coins will tire people to death. The size of gold also needs to be weighed. It is best to make gold, silver and copper coins of uniform specifications, exquisite and difficult to imitate, and then gradually replace the circulating copper and gold."
Li Yu thought this idea was good:
"Okay, I will ask someone tomorrow on the grounds of minting game coins. If suitable coins can be made and prices can be balanced, the economy of the Han Dynasty will usher in a period of rapid development."
The ancient currency system has always been very chaotic. For example, the five-zhu coins of the Han Dynasty were still in circulation until the Tang Dynasty. When officials issued salaries, they should normally issue coins, but because there was too little money, half of it was converted into cloth, grain, salt, salt permits, and even spices. The fluctuations in prices were like a roller coaster.
In good years, the price of grain was so low that it was given away for free, while in bad years, the price of grain was equal to gold. Ordinary people had to sell their children to exchange for a little grain.
After downloading the video, Lu Bu hurried back.
Mu Guiying also returned to the world in the book and asked Zhang Daoling to help Lu Bu transfer 500 grassland sheep.
At the same time, in Chaoge City.
Jiang Ziya walked for most of the day and finally walked into the city gate.
What he saw and heard along the way was beyond his expectations. He remembered that when he went up the mountain forty years ago, Chaoge was still starving and the people were living in misery. The area near the city gate was full of refugees who sold their children.
Now, there are newly built roads and abundant harvests of grain. The refugees who used to be crowded have disappeared. Everyone he saw on the road has a rosy face and full of energy, without the miserable and dry appearance of the past.
Arriving at the gate of the Wahuang Temple, Jiang Ziya saw the Jiejiao immortals waiting here and bowed:
"Jiang Shang of the Chanjiao, meet all the brothers and sisters. I came to Chaoge today to build the Fengshen Platform on the orders of the master to complete the heavenly way. I hope you can cooperate."
Zhao Gongming asked:
"How long will it take to build the Fengshen Platform?"
"It will take 49 days to complete the layout of the base alone. Before construction begins, it is necessary to use geomancy to match the number of heavenly derivatives. The whole project will take several years. Even if it is accelerated, it will take more than a year."
So long?
Zhao Gongming's plan for a quick victory was ruined.
On Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun, who was practicing, opened his eyes, looked in the direction of Chaoge in surprise, calculated with his fingers, looked up at the sky, sighed, and returned to his calm state again.
In the Wa Palace, the Queen also said to herself:
"Haotian, do you want to be the yellow bird?"
She sent a divine thought to the Golden Spirit Mother and Yunxiao, asking them to follow Jiang Ziya.
Zhen Yuanzi came to the Wa Palace and asked the Queen:
"May I ask, Madam, is Jiang Ziya being controlled?"
"Not likely. His soul seems to have been fused with a restriction. If it is forcibly destroyed, he will die... Let's continue to observe. Before the Conferred God Platform is built, we cannot act rashly."
Zhen Yuanzi asked again:
"What if we fail in the end?"
The Madam said:
"Don't worry. If this happens, I will fight with Haotian. After you clean up the mess, remember to take good care of my son... He has been spoiled since he was a child and has never suffered any grievances. If he encounters any danger, please help him."
"Yes, sir!"

Today is the only update, brothers. There is a water lantern festival in the park near my home. I went to see it at night and took a boat to tour it. Unfortunately, several water lanterns were broken and the music fountain was out of order. My feelings were wasted. If you are interested, you can search [Wugang 20th Water Lantern Festival] to have a look.
