If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 98 Mrs. Huo (Added for the leader "Book Friend 160322003002867")
The Shu knights cleared the way for the Fire Crow Army, escorting Marquis Lieyang all the way from west to east, across Tianmen Town.

The pedestrians on the roadside did not receive any special requests from the "Shangguan", and they still prostrated themselves in the direction of Marquis Lieyang. Some shouted "Shangbang Junhou, have a safe journey", some cried bitterly and shouted "Shangbang, please don't leave us", some shouted "Shangbang Xianjiang, please bless my son to cultivate internal energy and pass the military examination" or "Xianjiang, bless me, please make a fortune this year and marry Miss Jinlian from Hongxiufang as my wife", and some young women shouted "Shangbang General, look back at me, look back at me".
No matter what he shouted, his tone and expression were enthusiastic and sincere.

"Aunt Liu, don't leave in a hurry. I haven't seen a drag race before. Let's go and take a look."

Xiaoyu now finally understood how the "Qin Iron Cavalry" crossed the Quicksand River.

It is not a "Xianfa Ship" but a "Xianfa Plane".

"I have already made an appointment with Mrs. Huo."

In fact, Aunt Liu was also a little hesitant.

Marquis Lieyang left the West and returned to Daqin. It was a huge event, so of course she was very concerned.

"Alas, if Madam Huo knew that you met Marquis Lieyang on the way, she would definitely understand. Maybe Madam Huo herself was also looking at Marquis Lieyang in the crowd."

Xiaoyu is not talking nonsense.

Because of the incident in which the Thousand Hands stole the Second Divination of the Holy Sect, there were many soldiers patrolling the streets but few ordinary people.

But when the news of the appearance of the Fire Crow Army spread, many people opened their doors and walked out of their homes or shops.

Those who were close to the Fire Crow Army knelt down and saluted Marquis Lieyang; those who were too far away stood on tiptoe to watch.

"Actually, there's nothing to see. Kunlun Racing is just a larger version of Zhou Raoguo Racing."

Aunt Liu finally compromised and did not allow Xiaoyu to go forward alone, but instead allowed a large number of people to watch from behind.

After leaving the East City Gate and walking eastward along the main road for about four or five miles, a wide area suddenly opened up in front of us.

There are no buildings within a hundred feet radius, only gray-black stone strips neatly laid on the ground, forming a huge open-air platform.

The open-air platform connects to the east gate of Tianmen Town to the west, and there are wide but winding roads to the north and south. To the east is a rugged mountain range. From a distance, you can still hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks below the mountains.

Daqin's "Kunlun Racing Car" has now landed on the platform.

Because the four windmill-like wheels are made of soft feathers and cannot support the ground, a slender support column extends downward from the front, back, left and right of the racing car.

The support column is only as thick as a little finger, but there is a base as big as a plate at the bottom, which can stop the racing car steadily.

A "dock worker" took the initiative to push a six-wheeled inclined ladder towards the racing car. Marquis Lieyang stepped on the wooden ladder and was the first to board the racing car.

The number of Fire Crow Army soldiers has been reduced to less than a hundred. In addition to the "Great Qin Giant", there are only about a dozen Western generals.

Well, they are all generals, because the armor they wear is luxurious and solid.

They are all taking off their armor while racing.

Not only the Western generals were taking off their clothes, but the Qin soldiers were also working hard to lighten their burdens.

Almost all the outer armor was taken off, and only a dozen officers were left wearing inner armor and chain mail.

The only weapons left were swords and knives. The steel spears, which were as thick as a cup mouth and two meters long and used by the five-meter-long giants, were thrown aside.

"Hey, what are the talismans they put on their bodies for?"

Xiao Yu had sharp eyes and could see from two or three hundred steps away that after taking off the armor, Cai Sima took out a stack of talismans from a yellow cloth bag and stuck them on the chests and backs of the soldiers one by one. When he encountered a five-foot-tall Qin giant, he even stuck a yellow talisman on his arm and thigh.

"It should be the 'divine armor'. In order to reduce the burden on the racing car, they took off the armor, but Marquis Lieyang certainly does not want the Fire Crow Army's combat power and defense to be weakened." Aunt Liu whispered.

"What magic weapon and armor?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.

Aunt Liu said, "Didn't you meet Yumian Wenqu Dou Yilin at Feixian Ferry?
Didn’t he use his magic tricks of turning beans into soldiers and cutting paper into gods?

Although the 'heavenly soldiers and generals' were transformed from beans, they were all tall and mighty, wearing golden helmets and silver armor. They looked majestic, and in battle they were extremely powerful and invulnerable to swords and spears.

The golden helmets and silver armor worn by the bean soldiers are a kind of magic armor.

The 'divine weapon armor' that Marquis Lieyang prepared for the Fire Crow Army might have been drawn by a Qin immortal, so it must be even more powerful."

"Infinite strength and invulnerability are just the basics." Aunt Liu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she lowered her voice and said, "The purpose of sticking the talisman armor is to defend against aerial enemies, so the talisman armor can definitely allow the Fire Crow Army soldiers to float in the air for a short period of time, and even have the magical effects of water escape and earth escape."

"So strong?"

Xiaoyu was a little shocked. If the regular army of the Qin Dynasty had such a configuration, how strong would the real heavenly soldiers and generals be?

How powerful could a demon king be who could devour a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers at will?
And Wukong
The Fire Crow Army was very efficient and enforced discipline. Xiao Yu and Aunt Liu whispered a few words while they had already put on their talismanic armor and boarded the speeding cars.

"I respectfully send off Lord Lieyang Hou, the immortal general of our country, and the generals of the Fire Crow Army."

In addition to the civil and military officials of Tianmen Town and Yingxiang Prefecture, the double-gun general Chen Taiping also came in person to see off the Fire Crow Army.

As he shouted, everyone, including the ordinary people who were kneeling and watching in the back, shouted in unison.

With the blessings of the officials and people of Shu, six racing cars began to slowly rise into the air.

The feather windmill slowly turned, carrying the racing car into the sky.

At this time, you can still see each feather on the feather wheel clearly.

But then, the feather wheel began to accelerate, and the colorful feathers could no longer be seen. Only a ball of green light could be seen, a ball of green light compressed and condensed by countless strong winds.

There were four balls of green light under a speeding car. The green light balls became bigger and bigger, and finally, "BOOM!"

Like a bolt of thunder in a dry sky, six speeding cars disappeared from everyone's sight at the same time. Their speed was too fast to be tracked, and only a few blue dotted lines were left in the sky.

The blue dotted line also quickly dispersed and turned into a hurricane that disturbed the white clouds in the sky, blowing the officials and civilians below so hard that their eyes became blurred and their clothes fluttered.

Xiaoyu looked up at the direction the speeding car was leaving, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"There's no one here, what are you looking at?"

Aunt Liu pulled her back into the carriage and continued driving towards Mrs. Huo's house.

"Is that hundred-meter-square platform outside the East City Gate specially prepared for racing? Is racing a common thing?" Xiao Yu asked.

Aunt Liu shook her head and said, "I have only seen speeding cars twice in my life. The first time was when Marquis Lieyang came, and the second time was today. But you can often see speeding cars from Zhou Raoguo."

"What's the difference between Zhou Raoguo's car racing and drag racing?" Xiao Yu asked again.

"The flying car is smaller and slower." Aunt Liu hesitated and said, "I don't know much about flying cars, and I don't know if it has other functions.

Speed ​​racing should be an imitation of drag racing.

According to ancient records, Emperor Xuanyuan of ancient times liked to travel around in a racing car. He also wrote a book "Records of Mountains and Seas of All Nations" and drew a "Geomancy Map of All Nations in the World".

"Zhou Rao State" appears in both Shanhaizhi and Wanguo Fengshutu.

It must be that when Zhou Raoguo received Emperor Xuanyuan, he saw that the flying car was swift and gorgeous, so he secretly drew a structural diagram, and then waited until Emperor Xuanyuan left before quietly copying the flying car.

As you just saw, a drag race can squeeze dozens of people in, but a speeding car can only carry two or three people. "

"Why didn't I see any flying cars today?" Xiaoyu said regretfully.

"Don't you know what happened the night before? The Thousand-Handed Thief Saint fled to Tianmen Town, most likely intending to flee to the West on a flying car. How could General Chen let him do as he wished?" Aunt Liu said.

Xiao Yu was puzzled and asked, "Since the flying car can fly, why must it come to Tianmen Town Pier?"

"Just being able to fly is enough? Fairies can fly better than flying cars."

Seeing that Xiaoyu wanted to continue asking, Aunt Liu waved her hand impatiently and said, "We'll be at Mrs. Huo's house soon, don't ask any more questions!
Maybe everything feels new to you today.

But once you stay in Tianmen Town for a while, all your questions will become common sense."

"If you let me speak out my doubts, won't they immediately become common sense?" Xiaoyu said.

Aunt Liu closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, and no one bothered to pay attention to her.

Mrs. Huo's house is very grand, with a tall and wide vermilion lacquered gate, and white jade Pixiu guarding on both sides.

There is also a plaque with gold characters on a black background on the door, with the words "Built by Imperial Order for the General Pingnan's Mansion" inscribed on it.

However, Aunt Liu was unable to enter through the main gate. Not to mention opening the main gate, even the corner door on the side was not opened.

The carriage passed through the main gate, went around to the alley behind, and entered through the back door.

Xiaoyu's heart was bubbling with questions.

But Aunt Liu looked solemn, and with a maid from the Huo family leading the way, she couldn't speak.

In fact, before entering the Huo Mansion, Aunt Liu had specifically told her not to speak, not to look up or around, but to listen quietly and watch out of the corner of her eyes.

In short, at this time Xiaoyu was the little maid beside Aunt Liu.

Although she entered the mansion through the back door, Mrs. Huo did not deliberately take advantage of Aunt Liu.

When the old woman led Xiaoyu and Aunt Liu to the martial arts arena in the backyard, Mrs. Huo was already standing there in tight clothes, holding the hilt of her sword in reverse, waiting for them.

Mrs. Huo and Aunt Liu are about the same age, in their early forties. Mrs. Huo's temperament and dress are dignified and noble, and she looks like she is in her early forties; Aunt Liu, however, wears makeup and wears pink clothes, intentionally trying to look younger, and she looks to be in her thirties.

In terms of appearance alone, the two are equally matched.

But in comparison of their demeanor and temperament, Aunt Liu is just a coquettish slut in the world of pleasure, while Madam Huo has a kind of magnificent and noble air, and at first glance she looks like a general's wife who comes from a noble family.

In addition to Mrs. Huo herself, there were four or five young ladies and seven or eight maids under the eaves.

They were even more honest than Xiaoyu. They stood there quietly, not moving or whispering.

“Jin Tong~~~” Aunt Liu wanted to say a few more words, but Madam Huo threw the sword in her hand over and said lightly: “Xiao San, you really didn’t lie. Seeing you now is like seeing a bunch of rhododendrons.

This is a sign of Shen Yun’s externalization. Very good. I am looking forward to it. Let’s get started.”

"Liu San" is also straightforward.

She deliberately changed into a short top with narrow sleeves and no hem today, which was very simple and capable.

He took the sword and performed a set of "Blooming Flowers" with a "Shua Shua Shua", covering the martial arts field with a layer of gorgeous red rhododendrons.

"Wow, it's really rhododendron, and it's the sword spirit!" This time, the maids and young ladies under the eaves couldn't remain calm.

Mrs. Huo's expression was also very complicated, with appreciation, admiration and emotion, mixed with a little bit of jealousy, sadness and bitterness.

"how?"

After performing a set of "Blooming Flowers", Aunt Liu looked at Mrs. Huo with pride and anticipation.

At this moment, she looked even more radiant, as if she had really turned into a bunch of rhododendrons bathed in morning dew and the scorching sun.

"I didn't expect that you gained nothing when you were young, but became enlightened in your old age. It's really a miracle. It must be the blessing of God and Buddha." Mrs. Huo said with emotion.

Aunt Liu said, "If you had told me the secret of practicing the Nine Flower Sword earlier, I would have mastered it twenty years ago."

"The trick." Mrs. Huo's eyes flashed, and she smiled and said, "The trick is what you figure out yourself, it's useless if someone else tells you.

Look at my five daughters. They have been practicing martial arts since childhood. The oldest ones are already married. But which one of them has mastered the Nine Flower Sword?

If there is a trick that is common to everyone, why should I keep it secret from them?"

——You definitely have the secret, and the trick must be effective, but your daughter is stupid and has no talent.

Aunt Liu sneered in her heart, but did not embarrass Madam Huo openly.

She nodded and said, "I have already demonstrated 'Blooming Flowers', now it's your turn, Jin Tong."

"Well, we haven't practiced against each other for a long time. Let me see today what kind of miraculous effect the combination of Hun Yuan Wu Liang and Fan Hua Si Jin can produce."

Mrs. Huo went to the weapon rack and picked out a sword with a cold glow. She leaped up and came in front of Aunt Liu.
