Chapter 523 Battle Fortress (Part )
Chapter 523 Battle Fortress (Part )
Xie Changan pondered for a moment, "There is one more question."
"To what extent can the city spirit control the movement of this city?"
"Yes, this is very important!"
The movement range of Tianji City determines its combat range.
If it can only move within the Black Wind Mouth area, there is no need for modification.
Jiang Li scratched his head and glared at Xie Changan again, "It's all your fault!"
Xie Changan laughed, "Why do you blame me?"
"They say a woman becomes stupid for three years after pregnancy. I've become stupider. Who else should I blame but you?" Jiang Li snorted.
Xie Changan put his arms around her waist with a doting look in his eyes.
"Who said you're stupid? My little raccoon is incredibly clever and resourceful. He's the first one to come up with something as powerful as the War Fortress. He's unparalleled."
Jiang Li felt sweet in her heart, "I'll ask Xiao Ling right away."
She called out to Cheng Ling in her heart: "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, come here."
Soon, the voice of the city spirit rang out.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
"Xiao Ling, how far can our Tianji City move?"
Cheng Ling said, "I don't know. Master, no, the previous master told me to stay in the Black Wind Mouth area and not go far. I haven't been to other places yet."
Jiang Li suddenly realized.
Cheng Ling has been staying at Heifengkou. It turns out that it was Nan Yonghe's order.
Jiang Li and Xie Changan looked at each other.
From this we can see that Cheng Ling is likely unable to leave the Taklamakan Desert!
Otherwise, Nan Yonghe controls the city and can go wherever he wants, right?
Why go all the way back to southern Xinjiang to kidnap her?
When Xie Changan thought of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and was filled with fear.
When Jiang Li disappeared, if it weren't for his blood and energy attacking his heart, loosening the seal and letting Master Chonghua show up, I'm afraid she would have been taken away by Nan Yonghe!
As long as they reach the Western Regions, and Nan Yonghe hides her in this city, how can he find her?
Jiang Li held his hand soothingly: "Don't worry, Jing Ling won't let him succeed."
Xie Changan sneered slightly. That was right. The Mirror Spirit naturally couldn't let Master Chonghua fail in his training.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Now that I have the Dragon Palace, I don't need Tianji City to go anywhere. As long as I can move freely in this desert, I can be used as a powerful weapon to intimidate the Western Regions."
Xie Changan nodded: "You are right."
Jiang Li then said to Cheng Ling: "Xiao Ling, now you can wander around and go wherever you want."
She wanted to test the city spirit's range of activity. Could it only move in the Taklamakan Desert?
Cheng Ling was overjoyed when she heard this: "Really? Xiao Ling can go wherever she wants?"
Jiang Li nodded and smiled, "Yes. You can't be discovered by anyone, and you can't go to other cities to avoid causing unrest."
"Okay, okay, Xiao Ling knows!"
The city spirit did what he said and began to control the movement of Tianji City.
The people in the city were completely unaware, but Jiang Li had a master-servant contract with the city spirit, so he could naturally "see" the situation outside the city through her.
It's a strange feeling to watch the desert moving rapidly under your feet from the perspective of a city.
"Xiao Ling, let's go west."
Xiaoying reported that the Western Expedition Army encountered stubborn resistance from the remnants of Turpan in the west, and these remnants had the secret support of the Dzungar Khanate.
If Tianji City can reach the border between the two countries, it can be used to intimidate the Dzungar Khanate.
"Okay!" The city spirit then took control of Tianji City and moved westward.
"Dad, mother!"
Xie Buli and Xie Buqi came running in, Hui Chunteng following closely behind them like an old hen protecting her calves.
The two little ones’ faces turned red from playing, like two little red apples.
Jiang Li opened her arms, and Xie Buli and Xie Buqi threw themselves into her arms and acted coquettishly.
"Mom, when are we going to see the desert?"
Jiang Li kissed their cheeks and said with a smile, "Be careful first. Mother will ask Xiao Ling to find a safe place, and then we can go out."
"it is good--"
Xie Buli and Xie Buqi were also hungry. When they saw the pastries on the table, their eyes lit up. They were all their favorites!
"Wash your hands first." Xie Changan said.
The two babies obediently followed Huichunting's guidance, washed their hands and faces, and then dried them with handkerchiefs.
Xie Changan smiled and said, "Master Chang taught you well."
The rules are learned very well.
Jiang Li also smiled and said, "I must thank Master Chang after returning to the capital."
Cheng Ling found a safe area without quicksand. Xie Changan took a few personal soldiers and took the twins out of the city to play.
When Xie Buli and Xie Buqi saw the boundless desert for the first time, their eyes widened.
"Wow, so much sand!"
The personal guards played with the two young masters, digging sand pits, building castles, and even making two skateboards. The twins, a boy and a girl, sat on the skateboards and slid down the high sand dunes, their clear and childish laughter echoing in the empty desert.
Cheng Ling was also very happy. She had been wandering alone in Heifengkou for three years, and finally her master came. She also had two more little masters and friends such as Baixian!
She will no longer be alone in the days to come.
Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.
A full moon shines on the vast desert, which is filled with endless yellow sand and is lonely and deserted.
There was jubilation in Tianji City.
The full moon is reflected on Tianhu Lake, which is a picturesque sight. Cheng Ling also put many lanterns into the lake. The moonlight is bright and the lights are dazzling, just like a fairyland.
When Jiang Li and Xie Chang'an returned to the capital to pick up Xie Buli and Xie Buqi, they brought a lot of food and mooncakes with various fillings. Every personal soldier, including Qi Yong and Bai Xian's team, received a holiday gift.
Everyone celebrated the festival with great enthusiasm.
Jiang Li's family of four, as well as Hui Chun Teng, set up a banquet in the villa on the island in the middle of the lake, one to celebrate the festival, and the other to celebrate Xie Changan's birthday.
Before leaving Beijing, Xie Buli and Xie Buqi specifically asked Master Chang to teach them how to write the character "Shou".
Two little people, each holding a small brush, wrote a crooked "Shou" character on the paper stroke by stroke.
"Happy birthday, Daddy, may you live as long as the Southern Mountains!"
Xie Buli wished Xie Changan a happy birthday in a baby voice.
"And blessings as vast as the East Sea!"
Xie Buqi noticed that his sister had missed a sentence and quickly added.
Xie Changan smiled happily and took the two ugly "Shou" characters. His heart felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey.
He took out two big red envelopes and handed one to each of his two darlings.
"Thank you for never leaving me. Daddy likes your gifts very much."
Jiang Li looked at the father and his two sons with a smile, gently stroking her slightly bulging belly, feeling indescribably satisfied and peaceful in her heart.
Tianji City continued to move westward.
Jiang Li was pleasantly surprised to find that Tianji City had quietly crossed the Taklamakan Desert and entered the Tarim Basin!
Only when he reached the edge of the basin and saw the snow-capped peaks of the Tianshan Mountains did Cheng Ling stop moving.
"Master, this is the best we can do."
Jiang Li and Xie Changan were both very happy, as they were almost at the border!
The Tianshan Mountains, which are covered with snow all year round, blocked the invasion of the Dzungar Khanate, but small groups of troops still crossed the Tianshan Mountains and came to the border city of Kucha to rob.
The city of Kucha is located on the northern edge of the Tarim Basin. It is an important transportation route connecting the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and the interior of the Tarim Basin. Now the Western Expedition Army is in Kucha City, confronting the remnants of Turpan.
