Chapter 153: Disappearing Out of Thin Air
The development of things was beyond everyone's expectations. The progress of the puppet army was unusually smooth, and in the end, it developed into an incident of land grabbing between the two sides, and the lawsuit went to Qin Ning.
In the face of such a situation, Qin Ning was really a little crying and laughing, Lu Ling and Xirong were generous, but the generals under them didn't do it, in their eyes, there was fat everywhere, and when they grabbed it, it was money and women in their hands, can they not work hard?
Qin Ning was a little annoyed with the lawsuit, so he asked Lu Ling and Xirong Zhan to negotiate and settle it, and if there were any objections, let Mu Xiongtian participate and help break the lawsuit.
Mu Xiongtian is a good hand at fighting, but when it comes to breaking lawsuits, he can't do it. Faced with the accusation that everyone felt justified, Mu Xiongtian's head was big. In the end, the general could only learn Qiu Wenhe to balance, disassemble the interests, and let them choose for themselves.
The lawsuit is in the hands of someone, but there has been a lot of chaos in various places. The troops of the original Yelan King and the Second Prince are more or less disciplined, but the troops of the newly surrendered King Zhenyuan and the King of the South are a little unreasonable, not to mention leading the way for the puppet army, and they also burn and loot, smearing the image of the Qin army.
For this reason, Qin Ning specially reprimanded Lu Ling and Xirong Zhan, and instructed them to behead those who violated military discipline under the banner of the Qin army, and would not tolerate them.
◎∠Despite the constant riots, under Qin Ning's strict and high-pressure situation, the riots were constantly stopped, and the Abyss Empire was gradually included in the jurisdiction of the Qin army in the turmoil and suppression.
Qin Ning still has deep compassion for human life. But in the long run, this kind of small riot is exactly what the Qin army wants to see. Because small riots will make people panic, as long as there is a puppet army under the command of the Xijon War. It is absolutely impossible to threaten the Qin army.
Besides, even if Qin Ning had the heart to take care of it. But there is also a sense of powerlessness beyond the reach of the whip. All the territories should be like the security in the Blue Star Empire, and the troops required are in the order of millions. The Qin army couldn't draw up so many troops no matter what, so they simply opened their eyes and closed their eyes and let Xirong Zhan and Lu Ling toss.
The matter of the Abyss Empire is just the last step, as long as the two nominal leaders of the second prince of Yelan King are killed, the Abyss Empire will no longer be able to raise a big storm.
Qin Ning didn't need to think about anything more, his eyes focused on the Tianyao City that Xi Rong Po had said.
Regarding the Tianyao City, Xirong Zhan and Xirong Po had all heard of it, and they only knew that the Tianyao City was built by Kong Sanye with several leaders of the Yelan King and the 400,000 troops they carried with them.
These chieftains and their 400,000 troops. It was not taken seriously by Qin Ning, but Qin Ning was very jealous that Kong Sanye and the others would be able to make full use of these people.
In the battle of Lingtu City, Kong Sanye's warrior brilliance super magic weapon made the Qin army sacrifice hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If Kong Sanye had other means to arm these, he really didn't dare to underestimate this force.
The Xirong War Brothers generally knew the location of Tianyao City, which was the location near the seaside in the extreme west of the Abyss Empire. Exactly where it is still unknown.
Qin Ning scattered countless investigators in the direction of the west, but these investigators reported the situation. But it made Qin Ning feel puzzled.
All the investigators reported almost the same result, and found no large structures in the direction of the sea to the west, and not only that. Not even a single normal military officer saw it.
Some investigators have already gone to the beach and made a roundabout investigation in a large circle, but they still found nothing. Kong Sanye still has an army of 400,000. It was as if they had vanished out of thin air, and there was no sign of them in the area.
This is the case. made Qin Ning extremely vigilant. It's never the visible enemy that is terrifying, but the hidden enemy that can bite you at any time.
Qin Ning ordered all the investigators to withdraw. Qin Ning himself took twenty members of the Half-Step Yuanying Brigade to personally reconnoiter that area.
In the far west of the Abyss Empire, there is a dilapidated city called Xichen Town. No matter how you look at this name, it doesn't match the name of the place.
Let's say it's a town, and the western town is under its jurisdiction for hundreds of miles. But the area is so large, but the population is less than 10,000. With the 5,000 people in the garrison, there are less than 20,000 here, which is really the size of a small town.
After passing through the western town, it is a vast and wild land. Qin Ning had been to this place before, although he was flying in the air to go to Sword Peak, but this place still gave Qin Ning a deep impression.
In people's usual impression, a wild place should be lush with vegetation and monsters, or a thousand miles of red land, with no life.
But this place is different from other places, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it has the same atmosphere as a paradise. It's just that this place is too far away from the interior of the Abyss Empire, and there are no necessary supplies for human habitation, so this place has always been desolate.
Walking all the way west from Xichen Town, where there is something, Qin Ning basically has a spectrum in his heart. Although Qin Ning doesn't have the ability to memorize, he can basically remember a rough idea of the places he has walked through.
Walking towards the sea little by little, there was nothing special on the way that could attract Qin Ning's attention. That is, nothing has happened here, no large-scale changes have been made.
There is not even a trace of a large crowd passing by!
This is strange, Kong Sanye and five people, but passing by here with an army of 400,000 people, even if there are no buildings, there should always be some traces of so many people passing here, right? You know, 400,000 people, stepping all the way, it will form an extremely hard road.
Now, all the vegetation is still the same, as if no one has passed by at all. With so many people, could it be that the world has evaporated? Otherwise, the scene here would not match the information we know.
After more than 200 miles of travel, Qin Ning had already seen the beach, but he found nothing.
Qin Ning stopped, carefully observed his surroundings, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Could it be that the information of the Xirong Zhan brothers was wrong? It shouldn't be, but they heard the news with their own ears around Kong Sanye, and there is no doubt about this. Even if their brother is cheating, they should lead people into a trap, not to such a place where there is nothing, right?
Could it be that Kong Sanye is suspicious of the formation? Deliberately said such unreliable news, knowing that the Xirong Zhan brothers would inevitably surrender, to mislead the Qin army's sight?
Since Kong Sanye has taken several leaders of Yelan King, that is to say, Kong Sanye still has hole cards to turn the tables, and he will definitely not use lies to fool the leaders of Yelan King.
If it is found to be a lie, then these people's trust in Kong Sanye will inevitably plummet to the freezing point, which is a big taboo for Kong Sanye.
Thinking about it this way, Kong Sanye's people should be nearby, but why can't they be detected?
Could it be a hidden formation? Qin Ning couldn't help but frown when he thought of this. With the background of Kong Sanye, it is not impossible to do so. But Qin Ning is a master of formations, even if Kong Sanye lays out a formation that Qin Ning can't crack, Qin Ning can't break it, but it doesn't mean that Qin Ning can't find it.
With the mentality of trying it out, Qin Ning took twenty members of the half-step Yuanying Brigade to and fro along this area a few times, and in the process, Qin Ning released his divine sense, hoping to find a little clue through the exploration of his divine sense, but after going around several times, he still didn't find anything!
Qin Ning gritted his teeth, took out a medicine bottle from the storage ring, and poured out some silver-white powdery substance from it.
This is Qin Ning's heart and liver treasure, this alchemy product is named by Qin Ning as the development powder, it itself is based on the powder of the ancient formation cornerstone in the Tianya Great Array as the main raw material, plus the special alchemy material is refined, the development powder has an extremely special function, that is, it can automatically explore all the formation cornerstones at the same time as it is sprinkled.
In other words, all formations will be hidden under the developer powder!
When refining the developer powder, Qin Ning spent a lot of hard work, not to mention, the formation cornerstone of the Tianya Great Array at hand could not be destroyed too much, otherwise the Tianya Great Array would no longer be able to be put out. Therefore, Qin Ning is very expensive for these developing powders, and he has always been reluctant to use them, because they are gone.
Today, Qin Ning had to take out this developer powder to detect if there were any undetected special formations laid by masters around him.
The developer powder was poured into Qin Ning's hands, looking at these precious powders, Qin Ning was ruthless, his hand was raised in the air, and the developer powder suddenly dissipated in mid-air.
The particles of these developing powders are so small that they are stirred up by the air in the air and disappear immediately.
The members of the half-step Yuanying Brigade looked at each other, and they really didn't know what Qin Ning wanted to do.
After a long time, the members of the half-step Yuanying Brigade saw Qin Ning's eyes staring around, and the team leader couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" If there is something to do, you can completely explain it to us." ”
Qin Ning's eyes widened violently, and his fingers made a silent movement on the side of his mouth. Immediately after, Qin Ning cautiously tiptoed in one direction.
This move made the players even more confused. In their eyes, there was nothing around at all, so why would His Majesty the Emperor be so cautious?
To the surprise of the team members even more, Qin Ning suddenly squatted down, and then lay on the ground, staring at a small grass in front of him without blinking.
The team members surrounded one after another, and after being on guard around Qin Ning, the team leader also stared at the grass that Qin Ning was looking at.
After looking at it for a long time, I didn't find anything abnormal about this little grass, but when I looked at Qin Ning, I was excited!
Qin Ning quietly took out a rope from the storage ring, pulled it gently, pulled off a section of the rope, and then carefully marked the grass, and then instructed the members of the half-step Yuanying Brigade not to touch the grass that had been marked.
Then Qin Ning stood up, silently calculated the direction, and walked in the other direction. (To be continued......)
