Chapter 314, The Man in the Painting(1/2)
Chu Zhi.
She broke the defense again.
After fainting by Mu Changqing once, under Yue Ji's bewitching, he once again mustered up the courage to come and ease his relationship with Mu Changqing.
Who would have thought that Mu Changqing didn't like her very much, so he replied indifferently and turned around and left without even a chance to speak to her.
With quick eyes and hands, Yue Ji said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? It's all because Yue'er shouldn't have encouraged Your Majesty to come here~"
"I'm fine."
Waving his hand and taking a deep breath, Chu Zhi slowly suppressed a hint of panic in his heart, and then glanced at the fresh clothes that looked back with a tea-like smile in the tea. Chu Zhi's phoenix eyes gradually narrowed together.
Judging from the three-day raids of the tribes outside the territory, today is another day to attack the natural chasm. The three armies have been rectified and are ready to be in front of the natural chasm.
Logically speaking, if the clans outside the territory know that the huge formation in the chasm today cannot be unaware of it. If they know that the Central Plains have gathered 500,000 troops and still come to attack with force, then this means that the other party is fearless and does not take the 500,000 troops of the Three Kingdoms seriously.
This is also Mu Changqing's only concern at present.
Another point is that the other party can easily step over the swamp that erodes people and come and go freely. If the three armies cannot solve the problem of the swamp, they may have to shrink into the punishment of heaven. The other party will come whenever they want and leave whenever they want. The Central Plains has always been in a passive situation and cannot pose a practical threat to the other party.
But this is not a good idea. The daily rations for the 500,000 army is not a small amount. Even with the entire Central Plains as a backing, it is not a solution to stay here. The most important thing is that the people in the Central Plains are now focusing on this place, and people are in panic, and the front line cannot make practical progress, which can easily cause people to be disintegrated.
So in Mu Changqing's view, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the swamp, otherwise when will passive defense be the end?
The opponent can easily cross the swamp, which means that the initiative will always be in the other party's hands, and it will not let the army be consumed here all the time?
Now that my mind is frozen, I dare not relax at all.
After all, if there is a slight slackness and the outside world suddenly makes a large invasion, the situation will not be optimistic.
This issue was not only considered by Mu Changqing. The generals of all countries present were all experienced and experienced wars. Those with a little vision understood the interests of it, so it was a good starting point to defeat the chariots of the outside world.
Since the chariot can be on the ground on the swamp, if it can capture the opponent's chariot, it will never be impossible to find a solution to the swamp.
At that time, the swamp bonds that span between the two tribes will no longer become a threat, and even the tribes outside the territory will have to be wary of the soldiers from the Central Plains entering their nests.
"Why did you find any clues in the county?"
Standing on the edge of the swamp, Zhao Junjie looked at Mu Changqing and said seriously.
After bent down and carefully observing the boundless swamp in front of him, Mu Changqing was focused.
This Baili swamp is no different from what he imagined, because the surface of the ground is too wet or thin layer of water all year round, and it mainly grows on it, with dense vines and bushes, covered with shallow grass. If the weight of the object is too light, it can float on it, but once the weight reaches a certain level, it will gradually sink into the mud.
Mu Changqing's experiments several times were the same result. Why is the swamp terrifying? What's the terrifying thing is that once it falls into the swamp, the strong squeeze force is because the silt condenses, once it falls into it, it will be caught by a huge adsorption force. If it doesn't move, it will be fine, but once external forces join, it will sink deeper and deeper.
Patting the grass clippings on his body, Mu Changqing stood up.
He looked at Zhao Junjie, who was solemn on the side and said with a smile.
"General Zhao doesn't need to worry. Although this swamp swallows everything, it's not impossible to step into it."
What?
Zhao Junjie was shocked when she heard this. She had been thinking about the swamp for the past few days. She naturally knew that the swamp area spanned between the two tribes was the key factor in breaking through the battlefield. However, she still had no good way to break the deadlock after thinking for a few days. Now Mu Changqing came here and observed it for a moment before she could break it. Zhao Junjie was naturally shocked.
However, when Zhao Junjie thought about the endless methods of the celestial beings in front of him, he felt that it was not surprising.
"Young Master, don't keep it aside."
With a charming smile, Qingqi walked up, gently wiped the sticky mud on Mu Changqing's body with a handkerchief, and then chuckled.
Slightly turning his head, Zhao Junjie instinctively disgusted with the woman in front of her.
After all, Yan Yun has had many years of feud, and Zhao Junjie has been fighting against Yun Kingdom on the front line, so naturally it is impossible to have any favors to Xianyi, the Queen of Yun Kingdom.
However, Xianyi's approach to protecting Mu Changqing made Zhao Junjie unable to find any fault, so she could only make a symbolic choice.
After a pause, Shen Mu Changqing spoke.
"You should know that the wild crane can stand firmly on the swamp, right?"
"This is natural, but the wild crane is extremely light in weight and can stay on the swamp, but the manpower is different. The young master just experimented several times, and once the weight is too heavy, he will still fall into the swamp."
He frowned and replied, Zhao Junjie didn't understand the meaning of Mu Changqing's words.
"It is a little lightweight. The most important reason why crane waders can stay safely on the swamp is that their feet, cranes have slender feet, small back toes, higher than the front three toes, and half webbed between the three toes. These structures are conducive to increasing the contact surface between the feet and the silt, thereby increasing buoyancy to support the body."
Seeing the two women in Qingyi looking confused, Mu Changqing shook his head and waved to a soldier in the South Camp not far away.
The young general ran over.
"What are the instructions of the county guard?"
"Go and find a larger piece of wood."
The young general left when he heard the sound, and soon returned with a huge wooden board.
Throwing the wooden board over the swamp in front of him, Mu Changqing explained again.
"The wooden board has too large contact surface with the swamp, which divides the stress point and increases its buoyancy accordingly."
As he said that, Mu Changqing bent down and moved the stones beside him to the wooden board. With the addition of gravity, the wooden board still stayed steadily on the swamp.
Seeing this, the two women in Qingyi looked a little shocked. Just a small stone just now, they quickly fell into the mud. Now, with the addition of a wooden board, it can withstand such a large weight.
Then the two women thought about Mu Changqing's words about the force point and buoyancy, and gradually they had some enlightenment in their hearts.
In fact, it is not difficult to figure out the principles, but people of this era are all terrifying in nature and terrifying existences like swamps. If it weren't for the attack of the outside world's tribes, the swamps were unavoidable across the two sides, and people would still be unable to avoid this swamp.
It's just that I can't retreat and I can only think about how to conquer this natural terrifying existence.
Back in the army, Mu Changqing sat quietly in the main tent. Although Cheng Yue said that the foreign chariots from other regions would come to attack the heavenly chasm today, Mu Changqing was not sure, and now he could only wait.
While pondering, a figure slowly walked into the tent. Mu Changqing looked up and saw Chu Wanling walking towards him with a calm expression on his face.
"What's the matter?"
He asked casually, Mu Changqing's eyes were calm, and then pointed to the stool beside her to signal her to sit down.
Chu Zhi was stunned for a moment and didn't say much, and sat down aside.
"Does Miss Chu care about the affairs of the tribes outside the territory?"
After making a cup of tea and pushing it to Chu Zhi's side, Mu Changqing spoke.
Looking at the peaceful gaze of the person in front of him, Chu Zhi felt a little uncomfortable.
Even if he treats himself coldly, it is his official look that makes Chu Zhi feel very uncomfortable.
"Are you still angry with me?"
He pursed his lips and sighed softly, Chu Zhi's eyes were filled with a hint of grievance and confusion.
Before coming, Chu Zhi had already thought about explaining to Mu Changqing today. As the emperor of a country, she was naturally not the pretentious nature of her young daughter. It was just that her arrogant personality made her dare not reveal her feelings about Mu Changqing, but now the appearance of her fresh clothes made her feel full of crisis.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Zhi still felt that he should ease his relationship with Mu Changqing.
He said it well, "A beautiful lady is a gentleman, and it is not wrong for him to like himself. Even if he doesn't accept him, he should not be so arrogant."
What's more, if there were no him, there would be no Dayan today.
The importance of Mu Changqing is naturally self-evident to Dayan.
"Angry? Why is Mu angry?"
"It's just that the fallen flowers are intentionally flowing water without mercy. Does Miss Chu think that Mu must be a must?"
"There is nothing in this world, but there are only beauty. It should be no problem to find a few beauties under Mu's conditions, right?"
With a chuckling, Mu Changqing slowly turned the teacup in his hand, staring at the woman with a complicated face in front of him with a smile.
Looking at the cynical smile on Mu Changqing's lips, Chu Zhi's eyebrows were entangled again.
Above her unparalleled face, she was both upset and self-blame. The strong and exciting scenes in the past few days made her... feel like wild grass is growing wildly in her heart, and she feels powerless all over her body.
Beitie bit his lip, Chu Zhi moved his seat slightly, took a deep breath, and did not dare to think about it anymore, Youyou sighed and murmured: "Actually, late spirit..."
Just now, a loud drum sounded outside the tent.
Mu Changqing suddenly stood up when he heard the sound.
Here comes!
Then he raised his foot and walked out of the tent. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered that there was someone here, so he turned around and asked.
"What did Miss Chu say just now?"
"It's nothing, the important thing is the young master."
Watching Mu Changqing strode out of the tent, Chu Zhi sat on the stool as if he was exhausted.
I was originally going to show my heart to him while there was no one around, but the sudden drum beat made her courage fade away like a tide.
Could it be that God punished me?
—————————
Above the boundless swamp, hundreds of steel chariots slowly drove towards the heavenly chasm.
Outside the natural barrier, the armies of various countries are on high alert.
Xiahoumu glanced at Mu Changqing who had just arrived in front of the formation and said arrogantly.
"When I was in Chang'an County, why not compete with me?"
"Surprise."
Mu Changqing was too lazy to pay attention to him when he gave him a beautiful Chinese sentence. Such a brainless person could become the head coach of the Xia Kingdom. I really don’t know how Xia Kingdom survived safely and was not annexed by other countries.
"County Hou~"
At this time, Zhao Junjie also walked to Mu Changqing's side, looking at the domineering foreign chariot, who was solemn in his expression.
"No hurry, let's take a look first."
