Chapter 193 Zhao Min’s Principles, Red Alert Base!
"Mr. Ni!"
"Lord Zhao!"
"Mr. Ni is too polite. Just call me Minmin. Mr. Ni looks so happy. Does it seem like something good has happened to him?"
"No, no, I just had a good rest last night. Speaking of which, Lord Zhao is in charge of the Great Qin Demon Suppression Division and is very busy. How did you find time to come to Taiyuan in person today? "
"Your Majesty attaches great importance to the matter of the Mechanical Legion and specially sent me to help. To be honest, I also brought two golden men this time."
The time was the next morning.
As soon as Ni Kun got up early in the morning, Zhao Min went to visit him. It turned out that she was ordered by the Qin Emperor to come and help in the battle with two golden men.
"One of the Twelve Golden Men can move again?" Ni Kun said with a smile, "This is a very good thing."
Zhao Min smiled slightly:
"Thanks to the Mountain God Seal that Master Ni exchanged with our emperor, three of the Twelve Golden Men are now able to move. One will be left in Chang'an, and the remaining two will be given to me by Your Majesty to bring to Taiyuan."
Ni Kun sighed: "It seems that His Majesty the First Emperor really trusts Governor Zhao."
Zhao Min said modestly:
"No, it's just that the mechanical army is quite threatening and almost provoked the Li family to go to war with the Qin Dynasty. Its soldiers are indestructible and powerful. Once they form a large scale, they will also be a big trouble for our Qin Dynasty. His Majesty the First Emperor attaches great importance to them."
As he was speaking, Li Xiuning came over with a teacup and served tea to Zhao Min.
Zhao Min quickly stood up and thanked him.
A glance at Li Xiuning's collar revealed that she was wearing a white long skirt of a peculiar style, revealing her shoulders, arms, and delicate collarbones. The hem of the long skirt was slit all the way to her legs. When she walked, her entire right leg, from her plump and round thigh to her slender and straight white calf, as well as her round and soft ankle and her crystal-clear and delicate instep, was all exposed.
Zhao Min's eyes suddenly became a little strange.
This was the legitimate daughter of the Li family, the legitimate sister of Li Shimin, the Prince of Liaodong. During the six months of negotiations in Chang'an, the Emperor of Qin valued her talents very much. After learning the truth about Li Yuan's murder, the Emperor of Qin even wanted to adopt her as his adopted daughter.
As a knowledgeable time traveler from the future, Zhao Min is more aware of Li Xiuning's extraordinaryness.
This was a remarkable woman who was both talented in literature and martial arts. She was also the only woman in history who was buried with military honors after her death.
Zhao Min has always had great ambitions and has wanted to make a career since she was a child. Her idol is Li Xiuning.
But what is the situation now?
It would have been fine if Li Xiuning personally served her tea. After all, she, Zhao Min, was now the special envoy of the Qin Emperor and represented the majesty of the First Emperor. She was worthy of this courtesy from Li Xiuning.
But her outfit is too...
Even if this was a private occasion and there was no one else here except Zhao Min, she could still dress like this in front of Ni Kun...
"So Li Xiuning has also fallen? Master Ni... is such a scary man!"
Zhao Min was secretly amazed in her heart, but she quickly adjusted her facial expressions and acted as if nothing had happened. She took the tea brought by Li Xiuning, said thank you, and then sat down again.
Li Xiuning walked gracefully to Ni Kun's side, and without sitting down, she stood beside him with lowered head, as if ready to accept his orders at any time.
Seeing this, Zhao Min admired Ni Kun even more.
Her impression of Ni Kun was quite mixed.
When they first met, Zhao Min was very displeased to see that Ni Kun was surrounded by beautiful women, just like Ouyang Ke.
However, after fighting side by side twice, and witnessing the two battles of beheading Xu Fu in Huashan and punishing Black Mountain in the underworld, and learning that Ni Kun had quietly destroyed the Japanese army in Liaodong and defeated the army of white walkers in the grassland, and did not publicize it afterwards, Zhao Min's impression of Ni Kun suddenly took a 180-degree turn.
For a hero who is so righteous, so eager to do good, yet so indifferent to fame and fortune, and who never boasts about his great achievements in saving the world, isn't it harmless for him to be a little romantic?
So when Zhao Min saw that Li Xiuning was also eaten by Ni Kun, she felt only admiration and no longer had any contempt.
There are even some subtle emotions in my heart.
Of course, it’s not an emotion like jealousy.
Although her impression of Ni Kun changed greatly, and she even instinctively regarded Ni Kun as the safest pillar and supporter when she was in danger in the underworld, she wanted to do something big that would go down in history.
I don’t want to follow Ni Kun obediently and be a little woman.
However, after meeting such an outstanding man like Ni Kun, Zhao Min felt that her marriage might be in trouble.
There is no way. Among men of the same age, it is really difficult to find a heroic figure like Ni Kun.
His Majesty the First Emperor was certainly also a god-like man.
However, because His Majesty the First Emperor was too "divine", with too much divinity and too little humanity, he gave people the impression that he could be respected, feared, obeyed, and worshipped, but not approached.
Unlike Ni Kun, who was like a god descending from heaven during the war and was impossible to look at directly.
He is usually gentle and amiable, and has many hobbies that are very humane, even small shortcomings.
There is absolutely no such indifference as that of the Qin Emperor, who was like the sun hanging high in the sky, illuminating all things, yet treating everyone equally and being unapproachable.
In short, Zhao Min now has a very good impression of Ni Kun.
But in this way, she felt that if she wanted to get married in the future, she would unconsciously compare her partner with Ni Kun, and the result would definitely be that she would suffer from the comparison.
Zhao Min had these little emotions churning in her heart, and she felt a little sad for some reason - I, Zhao Min, am afraid that I will never be able to find a husband that satisfies my ideal in this lifetime.
Fortunately, she is now highly valued by the Emperor Qin and is about to do something big, and has not yet become love-brained.
If you can't find a suitable husband, then don't get married. As a woman, you don't have to get married.
If you want a child, there is a way. If you have the chance, you can sneak into Ni Kun's room at night and rob some seeds.
Children of the grassland, there is no problem with this operation!
Didn’t Genghis Khan say that?
The greatest joy in life is to defeat the enemy, chase the enemy, take away what he has, to see his closest relatives crying, to ride his horse, and to marry his wife and daughter.
Zhao Min did not dare to compare herself to Genghis Khan, nor was she as cruel as him, but since she was once a Mongolian princess, isn't it the tradition of the Mongol Empire to grab whatever she likes or wants?
As for whether she could get it, Zhao Min felt she had a good chance of success.
Ni Kun is very strong, and you will definitely not be able to defeat him by force.
But isn't he a romantic?
In terms of appearance, skin and figure, I, Zhao Min, am in no way inferior to the concubines around him.
Just as Zhao Min was having a mess of confusing thoughts, she suddenly heard someone calling her:
"Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao?"
"ah?"
Zhao Min blinked, and suddenly came back to her senses. She looked up and saw Ni Kun looking at her with a smile: "What are you thinking about, Lord Zhao? Why are you so absent-minded?"
What am I thinking about? Of course I'm thinking about how to rob you...
Zhao Min muttered to herself, her ears felt slightly hot, and two blushes quietly appeared on her pretty face, which was as soft as snow.
Although the children of the grassland are heroic and generous, and it is in line with tradition to grab whatever they like, Zhao Min is still a little shy to make such an idea in private in front of the target.
She lowered her head and took a sip of tea to hide her embarrassment. Soon she acted as if nothing had happened and said seriously:
"Sorry, I just suddenly remembered something important about the future... Master Ni called me, what do you want to say?"
Ni Kun said with a smile:
“As I said earlier, I have figured out the location of the Mechanical Corps headquarters and we can set off at any time.
"But it's a little far away. It's located north of Yudujin Mountain, in the former Tiele territory. It's a full ten thousand miles away from Taiyuan.
"It is the middle of winter, the north wind is blowing across the grassland, the snow is piled up several feet, and the environment is extremely harsh. I am afraid that Governor Zhao's body, worth thousands of gold, cannot withstand the ravages of the wind and snow."
"Mr. Ni, are you looking down on me? I have been to the underworld where ghosts and gods reside, let alone the Mobei in the human world?" Zhao Min snorted and said solemnly: "I am carrying the emperor's order. Let alone the snowy plains of the north, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will never be afraid of difficulties."
"Master Zhao is very magnanimous!" Ni Kun praised, "Then please wait outside for a while while I prepare. We will set off north in an hour."
"Okay!" Zhao Min stood up and bowed to Ni Kun: "I will go out and wait first."
After seeing Zhao Min off, Ni Kun said to Li Xiuning:
"To the grassland, not only will we have to travel thousands of miles north, but we will also have to fight a great battle. You will stay in Taiyuan and help your second brother deal with military and political affairs, and prepare for the handover ."
Li Xiuning was enjoying the sweetness of her love for Ni Kun and was inseparable from him. She felt reluctant to part with him.
But she finally had a general idea and knew that this trip to Mobei was not for fun.
With her limited martial arts skills, she would only be a burden if she went to the snowy prairie.
He nodded obediently and said, "I will follow your instructions and stay in Taiyuan to assist my second brother."
Seeing how well-behaved she was, Ni Kun smiled and held her little hand, then brought her to his lap. He reached his big hand into the slit of her skirt, held her round ankle, gently pinched it, and then moved up along her slender, straight, silky and tender calf, and said with a smile:
"You are so well-behaved. I have to give you a little reward before you leave..."
Lei's modified version of the Demonic Bliss was unleashed, and within just a few minutes, Li Xiuning's army was completely defeated .
He carried Li Xiuning into the embroidery pavilion, put her on the couch, helped her change into dry pajamas, covered her with a quilt, and let her have a good rest. Ni Kun also changed his clothes, and then gathered people and prepared to go.
A few days later.
grassland.
A majestic black horse with its four hooves on fire was galloping away.
Several feet of snow did not pose any obstacle to it, and it could easily run at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour.
Two long ropes were tied to the horse's back, pulling a sled.
Zhao Min, Tsunade, Zhu Yuyan and Dongfang Bai were sitting on the sled.
On the left and right sides of the sled, two bronze golden men, whose clothes, armor and hair accessories resembled those of the Qin Terracotta Warriors, were taking big strides and running on foot along with the sled.
The twelve golden men are made entirely of bronze. Although they are not of average size, the smallest one is three feet tall and weighs more than thirty tons in its original form. The largest one is five feet tall and weighs more than eighty-seven tons.
But at this time, the two golden men changed into the size of ordinary people, and when they were running, their steps did not seem heavy at all, nor was there any sense of heavy vibration.
Even if they don't leave no footprints in the snow, when running on the snow several feet thick, they will only leave shallow footprints about an inch deep, giving people a feeling of being "as light as a swallow".
Ni Kun did not ride the nightmare horse or the sleigh.
He is riding Xiaoqing now.
Xiaoqing transformed into a ten-foot-long green-scaled snake and swam quickly on the snow, leaving behind a huge snake trail.
Ni Kun sat cross-legged on Xiao Qing's head. Even though the north wind was blowing on his face like a knife, he did not feel cold at all and looked relaxed and contented.
On this trip to eradicate the legion's base, Ni Kun only brought Tsunade, Xiaoqing, Zhu Yuyan, and Dongfang Bai who were capable of destroying the legion's robots.
Zhao Min didn't bring any guards with her, only two powerful golden men.
The sled was moving at an extremely fast speed, and the north wind was blowing like a knife. However, Tsunade, Dongfang Bai, and Zhu Yuyan were very powerful, but they acted as if nothing had happened.
However, Zhao Min's skills were not very strong. Even though Zhu Yuyan was blocking the wind in front of her and she was wearing a thick sable fur coat, her face was still frozen pale and she curled up and shivered.
At the same time, he was very envious of Zhu Yuyan, Dongfang Bai and Tsunade: in this Mobei grassland where the north wind was as sharp as a knife, the three of them were dressed so thinly, but they could act as if nothing had happened.
Especially Tsunade, who was wearing only a thin elastic vest on her upper body, which didn't seem to be able to keep out the cold at all. But her shoulders and arms were as white and tender as milk, and there was no sign of redness from the cold.
Such a powerful ability to resist the cold and such a broad mind that looked down upon all other women made Zhao Min feel ashamed of herself.
I made up my mind that I must work hard on my career and not fall behind in my abilities. I will have to spend more time practicing every day in the future.
Tsunade, who was sitting opposite Zhao Min, saw that she was very cold. Thinking of their friendship in the underworld, she raised her hand, held her hand, and said with a smile:
"Come, let me warm you up."
A stream of warm current flowed into Zhao Min's body, instantly dispelling the coldness from her body and making her warm from the inside out, as if she had immersed herself in a hot spring.
Zhao Min was so comfortable that she almost moaned. She looked at Tsunade with gratitude and said thank you softly.
By dusk, they still had a day's journey to their destination, so Ni Kun did not continue his journey overnight. Instead, he set up camp and rested in the leeward side of a hill.
There are two golden men on duty at night who do not need to rest, so Ni Kun and others can rest assured.
Considering that the tent was thin and there was no fire, Zhao Min might not be able to withstand the cold, Ni Kun asked Tsunade to live in the same tent with her. Tsunade readily agreed, and that night she used her warm heart to help Zhao Min keep out the cold.
When sleeping at night, Zhao Min, who was held in Tsunade's arms and felt the beauty of her breasts personally, couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch them twice. She secretly felt that Ni Kun was so lucky that he could even get such a wonderful woman.
With Tsunade as a heater, Zhao Min quickly fell into a sound sleep without feeling the cold at all.
In the middle of the night, she was suddenly awakened by a strange noise. She couldn't help but hold Tsunade's waist and shake her awake:
"Tsunade, listen, there seems to be some movement outside."
Tsunade smacked her lips twice, hugged Zhao Min tightly into her arms, and said in a daze:
"It's a normal noise, don't panic... Once you get used to it, it will be fine..."
As he was talking, he fell into a deep sleep again.
Zhao Min was worried and tried hard to concentrate her ears, blocking out the influence of the howling north wind outside the tent. She finally heard the unusual noise and her face turned red.
Because that was clearly the sound of a woman crying in extreme joy, and it came from Ni Kun's tent.
Zhao Min spat inwardly, covered her ears with the quilt, and pressed her red cheeks against Tsunade's chest, thinking that Master Ni was in a really good mood. He actually had the mind to do that at this time and in this place.
But then again, the place we are in right now is exactly "Hu Tian Hu Di"...
The next day, at dawn, Ni Kun came out of the tent in high spirits and stretched himself. Seeing Zhao Min yawning from the opposite tent, he greeted her with a smile:
"There is still an hour before departure. Why don't you rest a little longer, Lord Zhao?"
Zhao Min rolled her eyes at Ni Kun in annoyance, thinking to herself, you guys made so much noise last night that I couldn't fall asleep. I finally managed to fall asleep, but I had all these messed up dreams... How can I continue sleeping in this snowy weather with my clothes all wet?
When she was thinking hard, she saw Zhu Yuyan, Dongfang Bai and Xiaoqing coming out of the tent one after another and greeted her as if nothing had happened.
Thinking of the noise she heard last night, Zhao Min began to have all sorts of messy thoughts in her mind. Her cheeks felt a little hot as she greeted them and lowered her head back into the tent.
After breakfast and packing up the tent, the group continued on their journey.
This time, Ni Kun rode Nightmare, while Xiaoqing followed Zhao Min and others on the sled.
The Nightmare Horse was extremely powerful. Even with one more person on its back and one on the sled, it had no effect on its speed. It was still galloping across the snowfield at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
After a fast ride one day, they arrived at a rugged mountain range at dusk.
Ni Kun dismounted, put away Nightmare and the sled, and led everyone to the top of a mountain over a hundred feet high. Looking down from the vantage point, he saw a large area of neatly planned factory-like buildings that were square like a chessboard not far from the bottom of the mountain.
Hundreds of vehicles of various types were going in and out of the building complex, and there were also thousands of ordinary metal skeleton-type robots, armed with various types of firearms, patrolling and guarding the building complex.
This metal skeleton-type robot has no liquid metal attached to its frame and looks like a cannon fodder model.
There are also quite a few R9 robots that are made of liquid metal and can be transformed. A careful count reveals that there are no less than a hundred of them.
In the middle of the factory building, there was a depression in the shape of a crater. In the middle of the depression was a huge, futuristic all-metal building.
The area around that building was particularly heavily guarded. Not only were there hundreds of R9-type legion robots carrying heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and other heavy firepower on duty, but there were also various machine gun bunkers and small artillery positions all around.
Ni Kun even saw several magnetic storm coils.
"Oh my god, this isn't just a simple Legion machine! There are actually quite a few Red Alert Soviet military facilities inside... It seems like An Wuji has installed the Legion's main brain into the Red Alert base computer..."
The huge all-metal building in the depression resembles the Red Alert Soviet base.
The surrounding defense facilities such as magnetic storm coils and sentry guns are also highly similar to the Soviet defense facilities in Red Alert 2.
Among those vehicles, there were also Soviet armed mining trucks, Rhino tanks, anti-aircraft artillery vehicles, and even several huge and majestic double-turret Apocalypse tanks.
Except for the absence of human soldiers, all facilities and vehicles are either operated automatically or driven by robots. At first glance, this is simply a real Red Alert base.
If he had just arrived and didn't know the truth about the world or the crisis that was happening in the world, and if he had discovered such a Red Alert base, Ni Kun would have found a way to capture them no matter what, and then play a game of technological crushing and domination of the world.
But now, as he has a better understanding of the truth of the world and is aware of the crisis facing the world, Ni Kun has long lost all interest in worldly hegemony.
And although the Red Alert base and the Legion robots are good and powerful, their upper limit is just that.
Once the iron torrent of the Legion's machinery is formed, it can certainly overwhelm any secular country. Even a technological society at the level of the 21st century cannot withstand the impact of the formed iron torrent, but in this world...
This torrent of steel was nothing more than a chess piece casually dropped by An Wuji.
Even if they are captured and developed to the limit, they will be useless when the crisis of world destruction comes.
"Unless it is cosmic-level black technology, this surface-level technology base is really like a chicken rib."
Ni Kun sighed in his heart and said to Zhao Min:
"Lord Zhao, this is the legion base. How are you going to deal with it?"
Zhao Min did not hesitate:
"Your Majesty means that if we can capture them, we should do so. The mechanical puppets of the army are also very useful as laborers for building roads, cities and crops. If we cannot capture them, we must destroy them completely."
Ni Kunwei nodded:
"This base was built by An Wuji, so there must be some backup measures to prevent it from being taken away. It may not be easy to capture it. But it doesn't hurt to give it a try first. Lord Governor Zhao, do you want to do it or should I?"
He wanted to see what the Jin people were capable of, but he was not in a hurry to take action.
Zhao Min smiled sweetly:
"It's not good to trouble you, Master Ni. Since we brought two golden men today, let them take action first."
As he spoke, he took out the Qin Emperor's Dragon Talisman and released two golden lights, which brushed over the two golden men. The two golden men suddenly flashed with golden light and suddenly expanded. In the blink of an eye, they turned into two huge golden men, one three feet and five feet high and the other three feet and seven feet high.
As soon as the two golden men appeared, the tremendous high-energy reaction was immediately detected by the legion base. Dozens of tanks drove out of the barracks and drove towards this side with great momentum.
There were also hundreds of huge gun barrels raised in the base, aiming at the top of the mountain.
Boom boom boom!
In just a dozen seconds, the hundreds of huge cannons opened fire. The heavy shells, with a huge whistling sound like a train passing through a tunnel, hit the hill where Ni Kun and others were with great precision.
