As the commander of the Imperial Army, Li Junxian was basically Li Shiming's messenger and spokesperson. Thus, when he urgently gathered everyone, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and the other generals did not dare to delay and hurried over.
As soon as they entered, they saw Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and the others with solemn expressions. Even Zhangsun Wuji, who was usually the most steady, was now pale. Qin Qiong and the others immediately realized that this matter was very serious.
Seeing everyone's ugly expressions, the impatient Cheng Yaojin immediately asked,"What exactly happened? Why do all of you look so awful?”
Wei Zheng, who was still emotionally stable, glared at Du Ruhui and stood up. He said with a frown,"The Empress and Concubine Yang were kidnapped by the bandits of Mount Qing Liang.”
"Hey!"
The hot-tempered Cheng Yaojin's face instantly turned red as he shouted angrily,""What a bold bandit, he even dared to abduct the Empress and Noble Consort.”
Unlike Cheng Yaojin's impulsiveness, Duke Wei Li Jing realized that something was wrong.
"State Duke Lu, Lord Wei hasn't finished speaking, what are you so anxious about?”
He calmed down and signaled Wei Zheng to continue.
Demoness Cheng was obviously a smart person to be able to climb to the position of Duke Lu. He immediately shut up.
However, Wei Zheng didn't continue to speak. Instead, it was Li Junxian who stood up.
"After learning that the Empress and Noble Consort Yang had been captured by the bandits, His Majesty personally led five thousand elite soldiers to Mount Qing Liang overnight."
After hearing Li Junxian's words, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and the other generals 'expressions became extremely heavy.
As generals, they were even more aware of the extent of a person's martial strength to be able to serve as the vanguard officer of the three armies.
One had to know that even Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong, and the others had been Vanguard Officials many times.
When the bandit leader was able to instantly take out an Imperial Army soldier with the strength of a Vanguard Official and a dozen elite soldiers, he only had one thought in his mind.
Just how powerful was this person?
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and the others looked at each other. They could see the shock in each other's eyes. Because, even they could not achieve such a degree when facing such battle prowess.
"Mount Qing Liang is a steep mountain. The stronghold must be built in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the bandits are familiar with the terrain. His Majesty has been marching for a night, and with the high combat strength of the bandit leader, His Majesty has probably fallen into the hands of the bandits.”
As the commander of the three armies, Li Jing clearly analyzed the results.
Li Junxian nodded." That's what I thought as well. That's why I urgently called you here to discuss how to rescue His Majesty, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine."”
" What are we discussing?" Cheng Yaojin shouted." Send the army to save His Majesty."”
Everyone nodded. Indeed, this was the only way now.
"But this matter cannot be made public. It must be kept a secret." Fang Xuanling continued.”
Zhangsun Wuji looked at everyone's determined and confident faces. He immediately felt more confident and his pale face recovered a little.
Without alerting anyone, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, and Qin Qiong led thirty thousand elite soldiers and rushed towards Mount Qingliang.
Each of them was given three horses. If one died of exhaustion, they would be replaced with another. This was an extreme luxury for the Great Tang, which was in dire need of war horses.
However, in order to save the three imprisoned emperors, it was worth it no matter how extravagant it was.
As for that audacious village?
He had to slaughter them all.
At this time, Jiang Tian did not know that because he had captured Li Er, an army of 30,000 people was heading towards his village.
However, even if he knew, he had nothing to fear.
He held the strange cylinder in his hand, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
"With this thing, the defensive capabilities of the stronghold will be greatly improved. If we get a small one and let Xiao Dao and the others carry it with them, it will definitely be upgraded to a higher level in battle.”
As Jiang Tian spoke, he put some steel needles into something that looked like a magazine, then attached it to the strange cylinder. Finally, he installed something that looked like a handle on the side.
He aimed at the wooden human-shaped target in the workshop and pulled the trigger.
Chi ~
Chi ~
Chi ~
Steel needles about a centimeter in diameter shot out from the cylinder, piercing through the wooden human-shaped target.
A buzzing sound could be heard in the quiet air. It was the sound of the steel needle passing through the target and piercing into the wall. The tail of the needle trembled.
"The combination of modern and ancient times, coupled with Gongshu Ban's overbearing mechanism technique, the power is indeed extraordinary.”Jiang Tian looked at the target that had been pierced through and smiled.
The prototype of this weapon was a combination of the Tang Sect's hidden weapon, the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle, the modern pistol, and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.
As long as ten to twenty of these new weapons were placed at the pass and sufficient steel needles were prepared, it could be said that ten thousand people could not open it.
If he could modify it to be lighter and carry it with him, even his ordinary underlings would be able to fight against ten or even more.
Oh ~
Jiang Tian stretched and left the workshop, satisfied.
