When Zhang Yu returns to the station, knew that this time a person who goes to attack Frost Continent also came back, he then took up to report to look, seeing military was this good merit altogether set out 300 fighting flying boat. 张御回到驻地中时,得知这次前往突袭霜洲的人也是回来了,他便拿起呈报看了一下,见军府为此次行功一共是出动了三百来艘斗战飞舟。 this time Cao Du prepared the means that adopts his previous time to make, namely first arranges profound weapon near Frost Continent, then conducts the short-range surprise attack. 这一次曹度本是准备采取他上次所做的办法,亦即是在霜洲附近先备好玄兵,而后再进行近程突袭。 Afterward through the probe and observation, discovered that this law is uses very much difficultly again. 只是后来通过试探和观察,发现此法已是很难再用了。 After Frost Continent eats has owed one time greatly, quickly infers the way that cultivators used other day, therefore did not hesitate the manpower to emit patrol squad beyond several thousand li (0.5 km) and arranged many creation, and built massive fortresses and counterforts in the state. 霜洲吃过一次大亏后,也是很快推断出了上回众修所用的方式,所以不惜人力在数千里外放出了巡逻队和安排了更多的造物,并且在州内又重新修筑了大量的堡垒和护壁。 Under such arrangement, any surprise attack may turn into the storm. 在这样的布置下,任何突袭都有可能会变成强攻。 Cao Du taking this into consideration, made a decision, changes into flying boat controller completely has nothing mental created person, then starts to launch the fast surprise attack beyond ten thousand li (0.5 km). 曹度有鉴于此,做了一个决定,就是将飞舟的驾驭者全部换成无有心智的造物人,而后在万里之外就开始发动快速突袭。 More than 300 flying boat, finally only then less than 100 rushed to Mi State, other were not in the halfway explode are shot down ahead of time, but these flying boat brought the profound weapon bang to fall in Frost Continent finally completely. 三百多艘飞舟,最后只有不到一百艘冲到了密州境内,其余不是半途之中自行爆裂就是被提前击落了,而这些飞舟最后全部带着玄兵轰落在了霜洲之中。 However Cao Du has not let the plan that they come back from the beginning, and he thinks that this loss is acceptable. 不过曹度从一开始就没有让他们回来的打算,并且他认为这个损失是可以接受的。 Like this after Frost Continent attacks, inevitably to it will be conducting to build various fortifications to have the influence, and must put out more manpower and resources the protection next surprise attack. 霜洲遭受这样的进攻后,势必会对其正在进行修筑各种工事造成影响,并且还要拿出更多的人力物力来防备下一次突袭。 But the Azure Sun two government offices after compelling to draw back Taibo Gods and Monsters, the commodities in various aspects are abundant, there is this energy to come and Frost Continent puts together the consumption. 而青阳两府在迫退泰博神怪后,各方面的物资可谓充沛,也有这个底气来和霜洲拼消耗。 This time attacked a cultivator side also to leave vigorously, was as a result of their maintenances and direction, made the fleet avoid losing, the goal of attacks was also very accurate, Cao Du also sent many thank-you gifts for this reason. 此次突袭修士一方也是出了大力,正是由于他们的维护和指引,才使得舰队避免了更多损失,所攻击的目标也十分准确,曹度为此还送来了不少谢礼。 However this time, continuously in the front was responsible for spying on Frost Continent real and unreal Cao Fangding is also follows to come back together, at this moment is waiting in the station. 不过这一次,一直在前方负责窥探霜洲虚实的曹方定也是跟着一起回来了,此刻正等候在驻地之中。 Zhang Yu knows that his certainly has the matter, otherwise was insufficient this time to rotate, therefore after looking at report, assigns/life the person to ask him to come immediately. 张御知道他定然是有事,不然不至于这个时候回转,于是在看完报书之后,就立刻命人去请他过来。 Cao Fangding quick arrival, when salutes upon meeting after him, said: „Profound Corrector previously made Cao pay attention to Frost Continent Manufacturing Institution and other places, because Frost Continent has guarded strictly, I cannot find, but this time attacks Frost Continent, I actually while sought for several suspicious places randomly.” 曹方定很快到来,在与他见礼之后,道:“玄正先前让曹某留意霜洲制院等地,由于霜洲一直防备严密,我始终没能找到,但这一次突袭霜洲,我却是趁乱找寻到了几处可疑之地。” During the speeches, he puts out a jade board, to a front big wall photo, the map that he outlines is appearing immediately above, above somewhat part used the scarlet pen to trace to encircle. 说话之间,他拿出一块玉板,对着前方的大壁一照,他所勾勒的地图就立刻在上面显现出来,上面有几分部分用了赤笔描圈了出来。 Zhang Yu arrives at the front, carefully looked, also sweeps toward the close by the vision, is pointing at the say/way: „Does here have one is not in the state?” 张御走到前方,仔细看了下,又把目光往旁处一扫,指着道:“这里有一处并不在州内？” Cao Fangding said: „Yes, Cao also tries there to search, but the interior buries deeply, and there is protection layer upon layer, visualization picture is also hard to be thorough, therefore is that side, even if not Manufacturing Institution, is still the extremely important boundary.” 曹方定道:“是的,曹某也试着去那里探过,但是内部埋藏较深,且有层层护御,观想图也难以深入,故是那边就算不是制院,也是极为重要的地界。” Zhang Yu nodded, said: „fellow daoist Cao was laborious, these news that you have are very useful.” 张御点了点头,道:“曹道友辛苦了,你带回来的这几个消息十分有用。” Had these goals, gets down when attacking Frost Continent, he can look for these boundary directly, but does not need to look around again. 有了这些目标,下来在攻打霜洲之时,他就可以直接找上这几处地界,而不必再去四处搜寻了。 He also said: „military launches the offensive, approximately also in five in June about, from that time, feared not long also wants an exhausted fellow daoist Cao period of time.” 他又道:“军府发动攻势,大约也就在五六月份左右,距离那时也没有多久了,下来恐还要劳烦曹道友一段时日。” Cao Fangding cups the hands and says: „This, when devotes life.” 曹方定拱手道:“此当效命。” Zhang Yu after Cao Fangding draws back, then entered inner room sitting in meditation, after breathing the moment, then took Song of Cicadas Sword, before long, above the sword blade glittered glistening luminous. 张御在曹方定退下去之后,便入了内室定坐,呼吸吐纳一刻之后,便将蝉鸣剑拿了起来,不一会儿,剑刃之上闪烁起了莹莹光亮。 Since these date and time, he besides searching for source energy and has strengthened cultivation above divine ability, he is also strengthening sword might dedicated. 这些时日以来,他除了搜寻源能和加强神通之上的修行外,他也是在专注加强剑器的威能。 And one, is to make flying sword also be possible to strike outside the thousand li (500 km), actually now he can achieve this point, but sword is not visualization picture, is to one far, might that above attaches will weaken inevitably, revolves rapidly is also less in the vicinity like that fast. 其中一个,就是让飞剑亦可远击千里之外,其实现在他就可以做到这一点,但是剑器并非是观想图,可是相距一远,上面所附着的威能势必会有所减弱,飞转起来也不及在近处那般迅捷。 Therefore is he is trying to overcome this shortcoming now, but this probably needs a long-time process. 故是他现在就在试图克服这一缺点,不过这可能需要一个长久过程。 He closed up several days later, then has pass/test to come, at this time had disciple your letter saying: „Profound Corrector, that side the Heavenly Secrets Institution station sent a thing, said that gives Profound Corrector, disciple has been placed in the Profound Corrector case.” 他闭关数日之后,便出得关来,这时有弟子来禀道:“玄正,天机院驻地那边送来了一件东西,说是交给玄正的,弟子已经摆在了玄正案上。” Zhang Yu comes before table, looked at a above letter/believes placard signature, discovered that originally is elderly Ying sends, under is one looks at the modeling plain wooden chest. 张御来至案台之前,看了一下上方的信帖署名,发现原来是英老送来的,下方则是一只看去造型古朴的木匣。 As soon as he flicks the sleeve, then hit the casing cover, inside flashes through bright qi immediately, later a half the height of a person little thing jumps, seeing him is not afraid, squats stares greatly eye looks at there he. 他一拂袖,便将匣盖打了开来,里面顿时闪过一道光气,随后一个半人高的小东西蹦跳出来,看见了他也不害怕,蹲在那里瞪大着眼睛看着他。 This little thing appearance like the pika, is only the ear is short, and whole body comprised of one group of close white fog light, naturally looks like one group of white cilias in the average person eyes. 这小东西模样如同鼠兔,只是耳朵短小,且浑身是由一团细密的白色雾光组成的,当然在普通人眼里就像是一团白色的茸毛。 „old spirit?” “旧灵？” Zhang Yu looked at one, the origin of apparent this thing. 张御看了一眼,便知这东西的来历了。 old spirit is one type likes sending to hide spirituality creature in ancient item, it not only can maintain the antiques the completeness, and has the natural sensitivity regarding some ancient thing. Sometimes will also be brought to seek for the preciousness of some hidden place, he had seen similar life under Extended Stage Academy before. 旧灵是一种喜欢寄藏在古老物品中的灵性生灵,它不但能够维护古物的完好,且对于一些古老东西有着天然的敏感。有时候还会被人拿来找寻一些隐秘之地的珍奇,他之前在延台学宫下方就见过类似的这生灵。 elderly Ying gives him this thing, obviously also heard he likes the antiques the reputation, therefore expressed who this time saved a life with this. 英老把这个东西送给他,显然也是听说了他喜好古物的名声,所以用此来表达此回救命的恩谢。 He puts out a hand, puts on the old spirit head, instantly the intention communicated, and gave it one „Lord of Treasure” given name. 他伸手出去,在旧灵脑袋上一放,霎时心意沟通了起来,并赋予了它一个“宝君”的名号。 old spirit he bestowed the name, the eye winked winking, the look became nimble and resourceful several points suddenly. 旧灵得他赐名,眼睛眨了眨,眼神忽然变得灵动了几分。 Zhang Yu nodded, puts out a hand to stroke, this old spirit melted the light to return to the box case together. 张御点了点头,伸手一拂,这旧灵又化一道光回到了匣子之中。 This old spirit wisdom is similar to a young child, when the average person communicates generally, can only use the most basic hand signal gesture. 这旧灵的智慧就如同一个小儿,在普通人一般沟通的时候,只能用最基本的手势比划。 But his here, can actually exchange with it with Heart Light directly, and can also try to expand its strength and wisdom, after being certain extent, he then can let out to make it seek for the antiques, but does not need to arrest in the body leans. 而在他这里,却是能直接用心光与之交流,并且还能设法壮大其力量和智慧,在达到一定程度之后,他便可以放出去让其自行寻找古物,而不必去拘在身侧了。 In dense state capital above platform, the tall hat old man stands above high place platform, looks at these destroyed construction during this attack, although he back is still straight, the spirit is still full, may the year ago, the figure was actually thin many. 密州城内观台之上,高冠老者站在高处观台之上,正看着那些在这次袭击之中被破坏的建筑,他虽然背脊依然笔挺,精神依然十足,可比年前,身形却是瘦削了不少。 His trusted subordinate aide walked, bows saying: „Prime Minister, this loss has taken inventory, Prime Minister expects, completed the protection early, damage was less than other day 1/3.” 他的一名亲信侍从走了过来,躬身道:“相国,这次损失已然清点出来了,还是相国还是料得准,早早做好了防备,损折不及上回三分之一。” tall hat old man looks at these broken boundary, sinking sound said: „Is this what good deed?” 高冠老者看着那些残破的地界,沉声道:“这难道还是什么好事么？” The trusted subordinate aide does not know that should say anything, can only lower the head not to say. 亲信侍从不知道该说什么,只能垂首不言。 The tall hat old man sighed: „ That side Azure Sun does not want to make us have the opportunity of respite, they before initiating attack officially, will not only do such a time, your side must pay attention to the outside the trend. „ 高冠老者叹道:“青阳那边是不想让我们有喘息的机会啊,他们在发起正式进攻之前,绝不会只做这么一次,你那边一定要留意外间的动向。“ The trusted subordinate aide bows saying: „Subordinate is paying attention momentarily.” 亲信侍从躬身道:“属下随时留意着。” The tall hat old man said: „Also, can you once investigate thoroughly? Why this time Azure Sun uses several hundred flying boat, beforehand that side Azure Sun has no information transmit unexpectedly?” 高冠老者道:“还有,你可曾查清楚了么？为什么这一次青阳动用数百艘飞舟,事先青阳那边居然没有任何消息传递过来？” The trusted subordinate aide replied: „flying boat that Prime Minister, Cao Du this person very caution and care, selects moves from the rear different place, moreover this time also many cultivator accompany, the surveillance is strict, beforehand cannot give any message.” 亲信侍从回答道:“相国,曹度这个人十分谨慎小心,所选用的飞舟都是从后方不同地方调上来的,而且这次还有许多修士随行,监视严密,事先根本传递不出任何消息。” The tall hat old man thinks, shakes the head saying: „It is not this reason, how again is difficult, such big action, always has the traces.” 高冠老者想了想,摇头道:“不是这个缘故,再是如何困难,这么大的行动,总有蛛丝马迹的。” Trusted subordinate aide one startled, said: „Prime Minister was says......” 亲信侍从一惊,道:“相国是说……” tall hat old man cold sound said: „It seems like certain people noticed that our potential fades, has wanted to give up us.” 高冠老者冷声道:“看来某些人看到我们势衰,已是想放弃我们了。” He snort/hum, said: „ Goes to call Chen Shao. „ 他哼了一声,道:“去把陈绍唤来。“ The trusted subordinate aide said: „Subordinate this goes.” 亲信侍从道:“属下这就去。” For a long time later, a person who wears daoist garments walked, his cups the hands politely, said: „Does Prime Minister seek me?” 许久之后,一名身披道服的人走了过来,他拱手一礼,道:“相国寻我？” The tall hat old man said: „Daoist Chen, your hand/subordinate these cultivator, approximately how many people available?” 高冠老者道:“陈道长,你那手下那些修士,大约多少人可用？” Chen Shao said: „At present receives our binding completely, middle position cultivator has more than 50 people, the low position cultivator more than 300 people.” 陈绍道:“目前完全受我们制束的,中位修士有五十余人,低位修士三百余人。” The tall hat old man said: „I expect Azure Sun to also be able to attack us, here then needed you to strive.” 高冠老者道:“我料青阳必还会来攻打我们,这里便需你出力了。” Frost Continent was to have cultivator in the past, besides with cultivator that their same Nightmare Demon infected, others were all used the special method to transform by them. 霜洲以往同样是存在修士的,除了与他们一样魇魔感染的修士之外,其余人俱被他们用特殊手段改造了。 Because such cultivator mental is damaged, unavoidably is stiff, does not know flexible, in addition Frost Continent is primarily armored soldier after all, therefore is the ordinary day no one uses them. 只是这样的修士因为心智受损,难免过于呆板,不知变通,再加上霜洲毕竟以甲士为主,故是平日没什么人去使用他们。 Previously Zhang Yu led more than hundred cultivator to attack Mi State, this also made them be inspired, once considered with carrying profound weapon cultivator attacks Square Stage station. 先前张御率领百余修士突袭密州,这也让他们得到了启发,也曾试想过用携带玄兵的修士突袭方台驻地。 Could not cope with cultivator with this method, even Square Stage station was rumbled, turned the head to come back to stand again. 只是用这种方法是对付不了修士的,就算方台驻地被轰去了,转头又可以回来重立。 Moreover afterward Zhang Yu destroyed the Frost Continent sentry post wantonly, sets up the sentry post outside broadly, over time guards is also getting more and more strict, even if they want to do this not possibly, this plan still reached a deadlock. 而且后来张御大肆破坏霜洲哨点,又在外广设岗哨,随着时间推移防备也越来越严密,就算他们想这样做都没可能,这个计划也就搁浅了。 But this time Cao Du after Frost Continent launches the attack again, Frost Continent then decided that if the opposite party comes again, that then guards to intercept these fighting flying boat using cultivator in the halfway. 而这一次曹度对霜洲再度发动攻击后,霜洲这边便决定,若是对方再来,那便利用修士于半途之中去防备截击那些斗战飞舟。 Chen Shao said: „Prime Minister, since told, I naturally comply, but I must say one, by the Azure Sun background, we succeeded even one time still uselessly, when the next time, Profound Mansion there must increase the manpower, wants to do that on no too big opportunity again, Prime Minister think the escape route to early well.” 陈绍道:“相国既然吩咐了,那我自然照做,可我也需说一句,以青阳的底蕴,就算我们成功了一次也没什么用,等到下一次,玄府那里必会增加人手,再想这么做就没什么太大机会了,相国还是早早想好退路为好。” The tall hat old man said: „Does everything possible.” 高冠老者道:“尽力而为吧。” Chen Shao said: „Good, if no its matter, asked to be excused below.” 陈绍道:“好,那若无它事,在下就告退了。” After the tall hat old man and others he departed, then got down platform, arrived at Frost Continent central territory through special secret passage, and arrived at the underground cavern situated in hundred li (0.5 km) deep place again. 高冠老者等他离去之后,便下了观台,通过一条特殊的密道一路来到了霜洲中域,并再次来到了位于百里深处的地下洞窟之内。 He is stepping on the broken slate above lava carefully, before arriving at huge gloomy blue crystal jade, is bowing to that big person's shadow does obeisance, said: „Pays a visit Country Head.” 他小心踩着在熔岩之上的破碎板岩,走到了把枚巨大的幽蓝色晶玉之前,对着里面那高大人影躬身一拜,道:“拜见正国。” The person's shadow in crystal jade wakes, said: „ What matter does my minister have? „ 晶玉之中的人影醒了过来,道:“家相有什么事么？“ The tall hat old man said: „reporting Country Head, Azure Sun Military had been stationed hundreds of thousands of armies in the wilderness, couple days ago sent flying boat to attack Mi State again, according to this sound, at most from one to two months, Azure Sun attacks us inevitably, and this time also has certainly cultivator accompanying, the military force in hand depending on us, cannot block purely at present in any event, therefore is......” 高冠老者道:“启禀正国,青阳军府已经在在荒原屯驻了数十万大军,前几天又派飞舟再次突袭了密州,按此动静来看,至多一至两月,青阳必然来攻打我们,并且这一次一定还有修士随行,纯凭我们目前手中的军力,是无论如何挡不住的,故是……” He deeply bows with hands clasped, said: „This time I fear we must carry out the final plan.” 他深深一揖,道:“这次我们恐需做好最后的打算了。” That person's shadow silent moment, said: „I have known, my minister presses that to discuss the arrangement.” 那人影沉默片刻,道:“我已知晓,家相就按那计议下去安排吧。” The tall hat old man bows with hands clasped again, has not said a word again, bowed to draw back, but in that crystal jade big person's shadow gaze he has departed, once again was just now quiet. 高冠老者再是一揖,未再言语,就躬身退了下去,而那晶玉中高大人影一直目注他离去,方才又一次沉寂下去。 ...... …… ...... ……
