Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

It was like a flash of light.    

In fact, the flow of time was not that fast.    

It was just that people's memories were always very short.    

Ten days passed by day by day, time passed, and every second passed. People would do things every second, breathe, think, work and comprehend...    

However, when they looked back, they only remembered a few of them, or even just one or two things.    

Then they calculated the time.    

He could only sigh. Time passed too quickly.    

But it might not be the only thing.    

In Xiao Yun's past life, there were always missions chasing after him. If he did not complete them within the time limit, it would be a huge problem.    

There would always be some trivial matters chasing after him, and there would always be a time node.    

And then there would always be contradictions.    

Pursuing and waiting, contradictions coexisted.    

It was like a mission that required him to complete all his plans within a limited period of time.    

However, he often needed to wait until the next day to study the other party's movement patterns.    

Pursue, and wait.    

It was like the main theme of time.    

However, in reality, time had never changed. That was just the main theme of life.    

These were all within Xiao Yun's expectations.    

But there was only one thing that exceeded his expectations.    

The arrival of death was always so sudden. He had made ample preparations for every mission, whether it was for practical or psychological preparation.    

However, when it came, it was so abrupt. Then... he could not accept it.    

So when he vaguely had a second life... he cherished this opportunity too much.    

So every minute, every second, he didn't want to waste it.    

He always wanted every second of his life to be incomparably wonderful, to be valuable, to live up to the miracles of this life.    

Only he himself understood this kind of thing.    

Leng Yueling also did not understand.    

This person was clearly used to seeing life and death. He was terrifyingly indifferent towards time and life.    

Even her gentleness made Xiao Yun unable to help but wonder if that was a kind of giving up life without any desire or desire.    

Perhaps...    

Her heart had already died the moment she was captured.    

Or perhaps she had died the moment she left the northern battlefield.    

Gentle, but cold.    

He was like a piece of soft ice.    

And such a person, at this moment, was most worried about himself.    

This made Xiao Yun suddenly feel a sense of pressure.    

Ten days passed just like that. Leng Yueling had been living in the small building all this time. She read every report regarding the Gold Hidden Pavilion over and over again.    

She might have felt that she had become numb to death.    

But in fact, when she saw the clear red circle of cinnabar on the name, she could not help but be moved.    

Nothing seemed to have changed about what happened outside the Xiao family.    

It was as if the biggest disturbance in the entire Qin Country was the change of the manager of Gold Hidden Pavilion.    

There were also those tragic cases that were equivalent to the destruction of the entire ___.    

Everything else was calm and peaceful.    

However, after listening to the relaxed reports of the servants, Xiao Yun's heart kept sinking.    

The person who kept warning him to be happy could not be happy no matter what.    

A storm was brewing?    

It didn't seem like it.    

It was more like the calm before the storm.    

Xiao Yun raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun was shining brightly.    

He still felt that there was a dark cloud there.    

The dark cloud covered the sky, and it kept pressing down on his heart, making him feel uncomfortable.    

Sighing, he asked, "Is there any movement from the Moonlight Tavern?"    

The subordinate thought for a while and then said, "Young Master, there is nothing different from usual. There are always people coming out to buy some daily necessities."    

"Is there a lot of them?"    

"Not much, enough for a hundred people to use"    

"Hm, are there iron weapons inside?"    

"Oh..."    

The subordinate thought carefully for a while and said, "A few kitchen knives, a few hoes, and the rest of the spades. They are all ordinary civilian items."    

Xiao Yun frowned.    

After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Go down. We still have to monitor the building. No matter what Prime Minister Qiu says, we have to keep an eye on them!"    

"Yes!"    

Seeing his subordinates leave, Xiao Yun scratched his head hard.    

He had quite a number of subordinates, but there were a few who were more capable than those who were more careful.    

Furthermore, the recent situation was a little too strange. Even some of the people who wanted to assassinate Xiao Yun had disappeared.    

The world was peaceful.    

He had even discussed this matter with Prime Minister Qiu last time.    

If Moonlight Tavern wanted to make a move, they would take advantage of a month's time when Xiao Huai'en returned to the Imperial Court.    

Because when that time came, it would definitely be very lively, and bustling and chaotic would often be a synonym.    

When the time came, they would take advantage of the chaos to make a move...    

Furthermore, only at that time would His Majesty open the palace gates, and even say that he would personally come out to enjoy with the people.    

In any case, the one with the surname Ji is determined to cause trouble at that time.    

In his opinion, this was a celebration that belonged to him alone. He was the one that everyone in the world congratulated.    

However, according to Prime Minister Qiu's intention, he was going to prepare everything and wait for the Moonlight Tavern to take action. Then, he would capture all of them in one fell swoop!    

At that time, Gua couldn't help but ask, why didn't he just capture all the people of Moonlight Tavern? Wouldn't that mean that there wouldn't be so many problems?    

It made Xiao Yun feel very awkward.    

Moonlight Tavern was on the surface. Anything that was on the surface was purposely let out by them for them to see.    

If they thought that there were only a few of them, that would be too naive.    

Most of the people were hiding in every corner of the capital.    

Putting everything aside, Xiao Yun had found a few famous people on the streets, but two of them were from the other party!    

This kind of permeability was terrifying, but it was also unresolvable.    

There were actually only two things that could be done.    

The first was to capture. According to various clues, as long as one was caught, they would be severely tortured and used to find even more people. Then, they would continue to do the same until everyone was caught!    

The other method was to take advantage of the situation to catch all of them in one fell swoop.    

The first method was currently being carried out by Prime Minister Qiu, but it did not go smoothly. It was not easy for someone to report that three or four of them had been arrested. In the end, before they could be dragged into the prison, they were already dead.    

Therefore, he pinned all his hopes on the celebration that would be held one month later.    

In fact, Xiao Yun felt that instead of being detained everywhere, it was better to catch the people of Moonlight Tavern in one go and let them come out and cause trouble. They just needed to torture and interrogate them.    

However, he would not take the initiative to say that. After all, the blame was too big. At that time, all the tragedies that happened in the capital would be counted on him. Even if the case was solved, he would offend all the property owners.    

More importantly, who could guarantee that the Moonlight Tavern was just a pretense? And the possibility was extremely high!    

Those were just some people in the martial arts world. They came here because of the affection of the shadow, but in the end, they didn't even know what the shadow wanted to do. On the contrary, if they rashly made a move on them, they would offend the entire martial arts world!    

Xiao Yun could only sigh helplessly.    

People always said that they would make a move after plotting.    

But in fact, many things had already been thought through, and he could not even move!    

For example, right now.    

All sorts of complicated factors were intertwined together like a spider web. It was simply impossible to cut them down quickly.    

What could he do?    

He could only bet everything on this final battle!    

The other side would definitely make a move.    

It was not easy for him to guess the exact time and location.    

Then I will do my best to set up the ambush perfectly!    

Just a few days ago, Prime Minister Qiu and Xiao Yun jointly requested for forty thousand elite soldiers under Yang Shuo's command.    

Because if he wanted to guard the streets of the capital, ambush all the hidden forces, prepare the bow and crossbow, the saber soldiers, and trap, no matter what, he would need this number. If there were any fewer, he would not be able to do it perfectly.    

But this number could not be too much.    

His Majesty was afraid of these armies.    

Even the Imperial Guards didn't have the right to enter the Imperial Palace as they pleased.    

The city guards near the Imperial Palace were the direct descendants of the Imperial Family.    

"The number of the Imperial Guards is never enough to charge into the Imperial Palace, and the number of city guards is not enough to take down the capital."    

Prime Minister Qiu had made his words very clear at that time.    

It was so straightforward that it was scary.    

Xiao Yun could only sigh at that time and then discuss with Prime Minister Qiu where to transfer troops.    

They could not transfer troops from the border, nor could they transfer troops from the city guards. The best choice was naturally the four town chiefs.    

More importantly, these troops must be elite enough. They had to put a ban on them, and they had to have sufficient combat strength. At least, they had been on the battlefield before. They had to kill without blinking, because when faced with chaos, they had to hesitate for a moment. This meant that even more people would die.
