Chapter 259: Joining forces
Bai Shi nodded and groaned, "Brother Huang is right. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoIf the three of us join forces, we can also fight with the Iron Sword Gate, if we fight separately, this auction can basically only be a spectator, and the Iron Sword Gate will be cheap for nothing. β
Li Tai snorted and said, "This Golden Ding Gate and the Iron Sword Gate have dominated the Great Wilderness for hundreds of years, and they have overwhelmed our and other large and small families. Naturally, this auction will have to join forces, and there should be a lot of help in the future. I can't say that one day there will be a crisis in the Iron Sword Gate and the Jinding Gate, and a few of us can take the opportunity to rise, and the position of the overlord of the Great Wilderness can be replaced. β
No matter what Tiejianmen said, he was still one of the current overlords of the Great Wilderness, but this Li Tai spoke unceremoniously, without the slightest concealment, although Huang Mei and Bai Shi had the same thoughts, they would not say it like Li Tai, and they just responded with a smile for a while, and did not say much.
Seeing Li Tai's disdainful gaze, Huang Mei coughed dryly and redirected the topic to the auction: "Since Brother Bai and Brother Li have no objections, the three of us will join forces in this auction!"
Bai Shi nodded and said: "However, compared to Brother Huang and Brother Li's family, my Bai family is quite weak in terms of financial resources, and all of them look to Brother Huang and Brother Li Haihan in terms of money, and the two families have more, and my Bai family has more efforts to make up for it." β
As soon as they heard this, Huang Mei and Li Tai's faces were a little unsightly. However, the two also knew that the Bai family's financial strength was indeed the weakest among the major families, and they did not immediately veto it.
After a slight pause, Huang Mei spoke: "The White Brother family can contribute less money, but if it is a treasure auctioned with money, it must be distributed according to the proportion of money. β
Li Tai immediately said: "I agree with what Brother Huang said!"
Bai Shi was stunned, and he had already scolded in his heart that the two of them were iron roosters who did not give up. But after thinking about it repeatedly, the family's finances were indeed overwhelmed, so Bai Shi had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Then do as Brother Huang said." β
When the Supreme Elders of the Huang, Bai, and Li families were quietly discussing joining forces, before they knew it, a majestic city had faintly appeared in front of the teamβthe Blue Blood City had arrived!
In the team, I don't know who shouted, and for a while, many people stood up one after another, stretching their necks to look at the Blue Blood City. At this time, Zou Dui and Ziyu also stood on the back of the giant armored beast and looked out.
Raising his right palm and blocking the sunlight with his sleeve, Zou Dui saw that among the thin clouds of mist, a turquoise majestic city stood between the hills and mountains, like a pair of pincers firmly locking a natural giant "gap" between the mountains. This majestic city is wide on the left and narrow on the right, and the terrain is extremely steep, and there is quite a momentum that is not open to the public.
The walls of Xiongcheng are glowing with pale cyan jade, and anyone with a little eyesight can see at a glance that this Xiongcheng is completely made of "green jade corrugator". This is only the case in a few cities such as the imperial capital, and if it is a border area, this is definitely the only one!
The most striking thing about Xiongcheng is a statue of a figure standing in the center of the city wall.
The statue is also made of green jade corundum, much taller than the tallest building in the city. From a distance, you can clearly see that the statue is lifelike, depicting a general in armor, pointing out a long sword in front of him, with a hoarse expression on his face, and his open mouth as if he was roaring in anger.
This statue didn't need to be introduced by others, and Zou Dui recognized it as the statue of the famous general Yue Wu. Yue Wu was a famous anti-Nanban general in the history of the Great Qian, who fought against the Nanban in southern Xinjiang all his life, repelled the invasion of the Nanban many times, and ensured that the Great Qian did not lose a single water or land.
This Blue Blood City was built by Yue Wu himself. It was built as a military fortress, much smaller and more rudimentary. However, under the command of Yue Wu, this military fortress played a powerful defensive function and repeatedly performed miraculous feats in resisting the invasion of the Southern Barbarians.
Later, Yue Wu passed away, and in order to commend Yue Wu's meritorious deeds, Daqian expanded this military fortress with green jade and strong stone, and also carved the statue of Yue Wu, which eventually became the current blue blood city.
Blue Blood City has always been a famous frontier city in Daqian, before coming, Zou Dui had heard a lot of stories about Blue Blood City, and was very interested in going to Blue Blood City to see it in person. Yue Wu is also a figure that Zou Dui admires more, and the name of Blue Blood City comes directly from the famous sentence written by Yue Wu: "I will turn Danqing with my blood, and I will not return it if I don't break the Nanban vow." β
Yue Wu has cultivated martial arts all his life, but he has not achieved much. By accepted standards, Yue Wu is an undisputed scrap. But what is admirable is that Yue Wu spent his life to realize the heroic verses he wrote, built an incomparably solid blue blood city, and ensured the safety of the southern frontier of Daqian.
Now that Yue Wu is gone, the Blue Blood City has changed. The only thing that remains unchanged is that this Xiongcheng still plays a role in blocking the footsteps of Nanban, and for many years, Nanban has not had any way to cross this Xiongguan.
This is where Zou Dui admires Yue Wu. Whether in the past life or in the present life, there has always been no shortage of geniuses and extremely intelligent people in this world, but in the end, there are very few people who can follow their own will, never wavering and perseverance.
As the large convoy approached the Blue Blood City in a chaotic manner, the guards of the Blue Blood City naturally discovered this situation, and suddenly a sharp whistle sounded.
The head of the city immediately acted in a nervous and orderly manner, and rows of soldiers rushed to the head of the city, showing their swords and guns, and the hidden windows on the city wall were opened, revealing a swarthy giant crossbow, and the huge arrows on the crossbow had been wound and ready to be fired.
Although they were far away, the martial arts powerhouses of the Great Wilderness, such as Purple Mad and Huang Mei, couldn't help but feel cold and extremely afraid when they saw the swarthy giant crossbow on the wall of the Blue Blood City.
This black giant crossbow is called the "Hundred Bull Crossbow", which is known as a crossbow with the power of "Hundred Bulls", the power is extremely terrifying, the range is more than 1,000 zhang, and it has a fatal lethality for Wu Xiu.
The power of the Bainiu crossbow has already been proven countless times in actual combat, and under one crossbow, Zi Mad and other nine-stage martial arts cultivators will be crushed to the skin. At this time, if these hundred bull crossbows were launched on the Blue Blood City, there would be no need for ten thousand arrows to be fired, only dozens of hundred bull crossbows would be fired in a salvo, and none of the martial arts powerhouses of the Great Wilderness such as Purple Mania would be spared.
The Blue Blood City showed a hundred bull crossbows, and these martial arts powerhouses in the Great Wilderness were naturally extremely jealous, and they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on their bodies when they were high-profile and unscrupulous on weekdays. And the beast trainers who controlled the beasts reacted very quickly, and immediately controlled the beasts to stop, stopping nearly a hundred zhang away from the Blue Blood City, not daring to take half a step beyond the thunder pool.
