Chapter 77: If I say one more word, I'll give myself away...
After a long journey, Mr. Fu and his entourage finally arrived at the remarkable border.
Looking into the distance, one can see a lush and verdant landscape on the Mongolian side, with abundant vegetation resembling a green ocean, swaying gracefully in the wind.
In contrast, the Central Plains presented a completely different scene, with yellow sand swirling everywhere, resembling an endless desert, giving people a desolate and bleak feeling.
Just then, the carriage, which had been moving smoothly forward, suddenly came to a screeching halt.
Pei Yunjing, on horseback, solemnly gave the order, instructing the soldiers to carefully and slowly place the phoenix bronze mirror on the ground.
On the other side of the bronze mirror, Niannian rested her chin on her chubby little hands, blinked her big eyes, and watched the busy scene with great curiosity.
Oops...
I never expected Brother Yun Jing to be so impressive!
……
Before long, several trucks fully loaded with goods came to a steady stop on this barren land.
Grandpa Fu nimbly jumped down from the driver's seat, his agile figure showing no signs of old age.
Immediately afterwards, the well-trained bodyguards quickly got out of the car, surrounded him, and followed Mr. Fu's instructions, opening the truck doors one by one in unison.
With a crisp "click," the heavy carriage doors slowly swung open to the sides, and a gust of dry, hot air, carrying sand and dust, rushed in.
Li Qiang and the others inside the carriage couldn't help but purse their lips, somewhat caught off guard; after they had adjusted, they walked out of the carriage in an orderly manner under the guidance of the bodyguards.
After exiting the carriage, the bodyguards gently pulled off Li Qiang and the others' blindfolds and carefully removed the earplugs from their ears.
Having regained their sight and voice, Li Qiang and his group stared wide-eyed at the completely unfamiliar environment before them, their hearts filled with amazement and emotion.
He couldn't help but turn to look at Old Master Fu beside him and murmured, "Mr. Fu, you've arrived so quickly?"
As he spoke, he kept turning his head to look around.
At this moment, the scene unfolding before Li Qiang and the others truly shocked them.
Those silver-armored soldiers, dressed in ancient costumes and wielding various weapons, all had serious expressions and looked imposing.
The surrounding ancient tents and the magnificent sight of flags fluttering along the border gave them a fleeting illusion of traveling back to ancient times.
Tut tut...
I never expected Boss Fu to be so generous. If I hadn't known beforehand, I probably would have thought I was on an ancient battlefield!
"We've arrived... You may begin!" Old Master Fu waved his hand, indicating...
The first "whoosh" sound...
At that moment, Hachi flew overhead and landed next to the flag on the border.
It pondered the blue marker on the map from back then...
Finally, it stopped in front of the fifth flag that was closest to Grandpa Fu.
The wires above Xiao Ba's head retracted swiftly like a snake, and then the robotic arm slowly extended.
With a precise and firm grip, he gently pulled the flag off the ground.
In a slightly stiff but excited voice, it shouted, "Grandpa Master, according to my detection, there is groundwater below this spot!"
Before the words were even finished, the robotic arm had already started gesturing impatiently, as if it wanted to dig it up itself.
However, due to the long period of drought, the ground had become as hard as iron and hardened together, making it futile for the robotic arms to try their best.
Grandpa Fu nodded slightly in approval, then turned to Li Qiang and solemnly instructed him:
"Just dig according to the robot's instructions!" He raised his hand and pointed in that direction.
Li Qiang was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected Boss Fu's robot to be so powerful. It could even detect groundwater?
Meanwhile, he wondered to himself: Should we start digging now? But we haven't even seen any photography equipment yet!
Wasn't it supposed to be a filming session?
Filled with doubt, he couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Fu, didn't you say this was a film set? But I can't find any cameras anywhere."
After saying that, Li Qiang carefully circled the truck, trying to find the hidden equipment.
Just then, he inadvertently made eye contact with Pei Yunjing.
In that instant, he couldn't help but gasp!
hiss! ! !
That look in his eyes...
Wow, that's fierce!
Are all child actors this professional these days?
Li Qiang suddenly had an idea to tease Pei Yunjing, so he opened his mouth to ask him what role he was playing.
But just as the words were about to come out, he suddenly remembered Boss Fu's instructions and had to swallow them back down.
At that moment, a gentle breeze slowly swept by;
Pei Yunjing's high-tied black ponytail swayed gracefully in the wind.
His cold, stern face remained expressionless, but his deep, pool-like eyes quickly scanned his surroundings.
He clasped his hands in thanks to Li Qiang and the others, his voice steady and powerful:
"Thank you all! If we can successfully solve the water shortage problem in the Central Plains this time, you will all be credited with the greatest contribution!"
He couldn't help but feel a spark of hope—the day when the Central Plains would have water was surely drawing ever closer.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Fu quickly pulled Li Qiang and his group away, saying, "Go away, ignore him, he's too into character! Hurry up! Let's go dig the well!"
"Weren't you talking about a camera? Let me tell you, that round robot is the camera!"
As he spoke, he urged Li Qiang toward the direction Xiao Ba had indicated, afraid that if Pei Yunjing said another word, he would give himself away!
Old Master Fu dared not even think about how he would explain himself in the end!
At that moment, the big eyes on Xiao Ba's screen that was Q'd instantly turned into a pair of question marks!
？-?？
This robot has no idea that I'm working part-time as a webcam operator!
……
Pei Nanxing, who was standing not far away, silently watched everything that was happening before his eyes.
Suddenly, his sharp gaze caught sight of a dark shadow flashing past like a ghost in the distance within the territory of Mongolia, disappearing instantly into the undulating hills.
His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of wariness;
His keen intuition, honed through years of battlefield experience, told him that the Mongol Empire was likely about to make a major move.
Thinking of this, Pei Nanxing dared not be careless in the slightest and gently waved his hand.
A majestic general clad in silver armor strode forward and bowed to listen to Pei Nanxing's instructions.
Pei Nanxing lowered his voice and said in a serious tone:
"Keep a close eye on everything that Mongolia does, and in particular, protect the safety of the goddess's grandfather."
