Chapter 79 The rats of Mongolia are spying...
On the other side, in ancient times,
The border between the Central Plains and the Mongol Empire—
The massive and sturdy body of the drilling rig was slowly assembled like a steel giant, thanks to the coordinated efforts of several drillers.
It stands tall on that barren land like a lonely guardian, its straight posture forming a stark contrast with the desolate surroundings.
It stood out starkly from the soldiers' tents set up not far away...
At that moment, with a deafening roar from the diesel generator set, the well drilling operation officially began, as if opening a door to an unknown world.
The tremendous sound seemed to proclaim the power of a new era, breaking the long-standing silence of this land.
The soldiers, who were resting inside their tents, were awakened by the sudden loud noise.
Like startled deer, they all rushed out, their eyes filled with fear and confusion, looking around at everything in their surroundings.
The soldiers had never seen such a bizarre and shocking scene, and their hearts were filled with fear and unease about the unknown.
!!!
Damn it! ! !
He Qiang was even more flustered. He didn't even have time to fasten his belt. One hand was tightly gripping the loose pants at his waist, while the other hand was tightly gripping the large knife that had been with him for many years.
His eyes gleamed with alertness as he asked loudly:
"What's going on, Sixth Prince? Is it an invasion from the Mongol Kingdom? Is our border facing a crisis?"
He Qiang's voice revealed a hint of tension and worry, as if he were ready to jump into battle at any moment.
Seeing this, Pei Yunjing quickly pointed to the drilling rig that was running smoothly and reassured him:
"General He, it's alright. My Goddess Grandfather mentioned that such noises always occur when digging a well."
This is an important project we undertook to find water and improve our lives, not an invasion by foreign enemies.
As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily fell on the roaring drilling rig, his eyes revealing undisguised amazement and emotion.
Pei Yunjing could hardly believe that the future was only a few hundred years away;
Not only did such handy firearms appear, but they also possessed such advanced mechanical equipment, which could change the fate of this land.
That world must be very peaceful, and the country will be able to better protect every citizen, so that they will no longer suffer from hunger and harm, and can live a happy and stable life.
only……
The ruins of Guangling Kingdom are becoming increasingly apparent, like a candle flickering in the wind, seemingly on the verge of being extinguished at any moment.
Even the once glorious Central Plains City, which had weathered countless storms, now relies on the all-out help of Nian Nian and others to survive to this day.
This sight stirred a strong sense of mockery in Pei Yunjing's heart.
Oh!!
But what exactly caused Guangling to eventually perish?
Just as he was lost in thought, his gaze gradually focused on Old Master Fu, who was busy supervising the construction.
Pei Yunjing could no longer suppress his curiosity and doubts, and strode forward as fast as the wind.
But before he could fully open his mouth, Old Master Fu waved his hands incessantly, as if shooing away an annoying fly, and shouted loudly:
"Hey kid, get out of here and stop causing trouble! I'm swamped with work right now, I don't have time to deal with you!"
Having said that, he ruthlessly shifted his attention to Little Eight, who was intently building sandcastles nearby, and beckoned to him with a kind smile, calling out:
"Xiao Ba, come here and play with him!"
Immediately, Old Master Fu pointed his finger directly at Pei Yunjing.
At this moment, he was completely absorbed in the supervising work at hand, and he was extremely busy.
Where would I find the extra thoughts and free time to waste precious time with this kid?
Meanwhile, Pei Nanxing witnessed Pei Yunjing's humiliation at being treated so poorly by Old Master Fu.
The corners of his otherwise unremarkable mouth slowly curved upwards into a barely perceptible smile, and he softly called out:
"Missing Grandpa..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Old Master Fu, as if forced into a corner, bluntly retorted:
"Go, go, go go and go play with Xiao Ba too..."
After saying that, he walked straight toward Li Qiang without turning his head and asked eagerly how long it would take to get water.
At this moment, the two people who had been resolutely rejected by Grandpa Fu looked disappointed and helpless, their eyes fixed on Xiao Ba, who was slowly flying towards them.
Xiao Ba, with his unique and childlike mechanical voice, asked in a clear and melodious tone:
"What fun games do you guys want to play?"
It couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Humans are really strange! They're already so old and have such a high status!"
They actually need me, the grandpa, to keep them company?!
Upon hearing Xiao Ba's teasing words, Pei Yun Jing frowned slightly, then waved his hand helplessly.
A sudden flash of inspiration struck him. He remembered that Xiao Ba was so intelligent that he must know a lot about the events of the Guangling period.
So he quickly reached out and carefully hugged Xiao Ba, then took a few steps back;
I tried to get away from the noise and commotion of the drilling rig, as if that would help me clear my mind.
Then, he solemnly said to Xiao Ba:
"Little Eight, do you know the real reason for the downfall of the Guangling Kingdom?"
!!!
Was the Kingdom of Guangling destroyed?
Upon hearing this question, Pei Nanxing's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he leaned closer to Pei Yunjing with great interest.
He couldn't believe that Guangling would end up destroyed; this was something that would have been unimaginable in the past.
But upon closer examination, it's not entirely impossible.
Pei Nanxin inwardly scoffed, thinking that Pei Chuan had only ever thought about consolidating his throne by winning over ministers.
They completely forgot the extent of corruption both inside and outside Guangling, where treacherous officials were being elevated to high positions, while loyal ministers and military generals were being treated drastically differently…
Even the seemingly legitimate Crown Prince Pei Huai-ren is a true hypocrite, outwardly virtuous but inwardly cunning and treacherous...
………………
Meanwhile, within the Mongolian border...
Several men in black crouched at the edge of the ditch, peeking out like rats in a sewer, watching Pei Yunjing and his group's every move.
One of them spoke up to remind him:
"General Aruhan, look! That enormous thing is truly astonishing!"
The deafening roar it emitted seemed to shatter the heavens; the sound rolled in like muffled thunder exploding in one's ears, causing a sharp pain in the eardrums...
