Chapter 928: The Two Treasures
Chapter 928: The Two Treasures
September 25, 2017
As Lu HaiKong appraised the treasures, the Tiger Pass was already bustling with activity.
The system prompt indicated that these treasures were not Lu HaiKong's exclusive property, as the alien lords could also receive them.
After the conclusion of the [Battle for Dong's] task, everyone received the task rewards.
Being a large-scale plot task, it might even be the final plot task, and the system was quite generous with the task rewards.
Although Lu HaiKong would undoubtedly claim the main reward, the alien lords also had significant gains. The system showered them with legendary treasure chests and mythical treasure chests, causing even the most powerful and domineering individuals to crack a smile.
However, the task rewards were not the true focus; the real prize, in the eyes of the alien lords, lay in the city of Luoyang.
As the political and cultural center of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang boasted a population of several million, and it was particularly rich in technical talents and abundant resources. For the alien lords, these were the true treasures they sought.
Despite Luoyang experiencing the Demon Array, Blood Array, and the bloodbath of the Xi Liang Iron Cavalry, it remained largely intact due to Lu HaiKong's influence.
Moreover, all smokers would have quit by now.
Indeed, Li Ru had prepared, but no one anticipated Lu HaiKong's formidable approach, which directly led to the fall of Tiger Pass, followed by the march on Luoyang.
The swift fall of Tiger Pass had a significant impact, directly causing Li Ru's preparations to be inadequate. If Tiger Pass had fallen a bit later, Li Ru's preparations would have been more thorough.
In that scenario, even if Dong Zhuo's altered fate was sealed with failure, their evacuation preparations would have been far more comprehensive, ensuring they could take away a substantial portion of Luoyang's resources, preventing the entire city's wealth from becoming Lu HaiKong's and the alien lords' benefits.
At this moment, Lu HaiKong's army, if no unexpected events occurred, should have already started reaping those benefits, and the alien lords, upon receiving the system prompt, also led their armies toward Luoyang.
Everyone was now eagerly anticipating the division of Luoyang's treasures, and this situation was the most likely to produce conflicts.
If no unexpected events occurred, Luoyang, freshly bathed in a round of cleansing, would soon face greater chaos.
Regarding the impending situation, Lu HaiKong had it all figured out, but he wasn't too concerned at this moment. He was more curious about the attributes of the national treasure he had obtained.
The first divine soldier stone's attributes pleased Lu HaiKong, and he eagerly anticipated the attributes of the next two. Were they more astonishing than the divine soldier stone, or were they the kind that left him questioning? With this expectation, Lu HaiKong casually appraised the attributes of the next two national treasures.
Li Guang She Shi Hu (Mythical)
(Treasure) (Calligraphy and Painting) (Military)
Description: A calligraphy and painting from the Master's Hand, containing profound artistic expression and conveying an incredible message.
Effect 1: Can be used as an item, capable of triggering Li Guang's One-Shot Tiger (Cooldown: One month)
Effect 2: Place it in the military camp, allowing soldiers to significantly improve their archery skills and possibly even comprehend special arrow techniques.
To be honest, when Lu HaiKong saw the attributes of the [Li Guang She Shi Hu], he was slightly disappointed, despite it having two effects. However, Lu HaiKong wasn't particularly excited about the first effect.
After all, Lu HaiKong had encountered formidable opponents during this period, and his own unleashed power was also a hundred-fold existence.
Although Li Guang was historically renowned, Lu HaiKong didn't believe his one-shot tiger could surpass a hundred-fold existence. However, the second attribute was quite interesting.
"The second attribute is quite suitable for Black Wind. After returning, I'll send this item to Black Wind."
If Lu HaiKong's army, the one with the deepest archery skills, wasn't the [Breaking Wind Archers], nor was it his elite soldier type of divine archers. Instead, it was the Black Wind Legion.
Although the Black Wind Legion was cavalry, they initially followed the path of light cavalry, and while they had decent close combat abilities, their primary focus had always been archery.
Especially after initially learning Lu HaiKong's simplified version of the [Moonlight Arrow Technique], their archery skills became even more astonishing.
However, Lu HaiKong was still somewhat dissatisfied with the Black Wind's current archery skills. He wanted to transform the Black Wind Legion into an elite force that even the most powerful warlords would dread facing their arrow rain. In this situation, Lu HaiKong hoped the [Li Guang She Shi Hu] could provide some assistance to the Black Wind Legion.
But for now, the attributes of this national treasure remained unknown, and its value would depend entirely on its effects.

Lu HaiKong, with a glint of anticipation, carefully examined the final national treasure—a replica of the legendary treasure, the [Jubao Pen (Mythical)].
[Jubao Pen (Shenmi)]
Description: A replica of the mythical treasure, the Jubao Pen, possesses unimaginable abilities.
Effect 1: It has the power to suppress and regulate one's luck (passive).
Effect 2: It can enhance the level of plants placed within the pen, requiring a certain amount of money, with the enhancement level determined by the amount of money spent, up to a maximum of [Pseudo-Mythical].
After a quick glance, Lu HaiKong put the item away.
Although this item has the effect of suppressing and regulating luck, its greatest power seems to be the latter, which would be of little use to Lu HaiKong, but it could be given to Hua Tuo.
Believing that with this item, Hua Tuo's help would be significant.
Currently, Hua Tuo is a red person in front of Lu HaiKong, after all, he is the person Lu HaiKong can extend his life through talent. Lu HaiKong subconsciously wants to send something to him.
After appraising all the national treasures, Lu HaiKong headed towards the [Shangwu Temple], with one intention being to find the Third Princess, and another being to receive some benefits.
The Shangwu Temple is one of the three major architectural systems in the palace, and although the treasures within may not be as valuable as those in the [Treasure Pavilion] and [Divine Weapon Pavilion], they are still not to be underestimated.
In the 16th book, 9th chapter, there is a mistake-free version!
Not only are there various secret manuals, but also a large number of military strategy books. If Lu HaiKong could empty the Shangwu Temple, it would be a considerable harvest, but the system won't give Lu HaiKong such a big opportunity.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu HaiKong entered the Shangwu Temple, the system prompt sounded.
Compared to the Treasure Pavilion, the system was much more generous this time, allowing Lu HaiKong to take away any fifty books, and this time, the system bled a lot.
As Lu HaiKong entered the Shangwu Temple, his legion began to move in Luoyang.
Lu HaiKong's soldiers were clearly well-planned, and as soon as they entered Luoyang City, their goal was straightforward—to head straight to the royal workshop in Luoyang City.
His people had a base in Luoyang, and they were well-informed about the city's situation. So, they were clear about the location of the best workshop in Luoyang.
The [Tiexue] and [Huangjin] legions, under Lu HaiKong's intelligence personnel's guidance, rushed to this side.
Before the Tiexue and Huangjin Legions arrived, Lu HaiKong's people had already started working with the workshop's technicians, and although they didn't have much time due to the urgency, their work wasn't perfect, but at least they made the technicians aware that Lu HaiKong's army was coming.
Lu HaiKong had always maintained his image in Luoyang, and although his image among the upper echelons of Luoyang might not be good, he was still well-regarded by the lower-class people.
For these technicians who had experienced the magic array and the baptism of the Xiliang Cavalry, Lu HaiKong's soldiers were like saviors.
However, when Lu HaiKong's people heard that they were to be taken to Bingzhou, these technicians couldn't help but have some opinions.
After all, although they had endured many hardships before, many of them had lived in Luoyang for most of their lives, and their families and businesses were here. At this time, Lu HaiKong wanted to peacefully take them to Bingzhou, which was quite difficult.
Fortunately, Lu HaiKong's soldiers had never thought of peacefully taking these people away. If persuasion didn't work, they would directly take them by force.
As per Lu HaiKong's prior instructions, regardless of their skills, all skilled technicians were to be taken away.
Facing the Tiexue and Huangjin Legions, these two terrifying armies, the technicians couldn't resist, and it took three to four hours for the two legions, with the help of intelligence personnel, to gather all the skilled technicians and prepare to leave.
However, unfortunately, just as they gathered the technicians and prepared to leave, the alien lord's people had already arrived.
This world had never lacked smart people, and Lu HaiKong wasn't the only clever one. As Lu HaiKong watched the technicians, many of the alien lord's people were also watching them.
Who wouldn't want to take a bite of such a big cake?
So, as soon as these people entered Luoyang, they directly rushed to this side.
Although the Tiexue and Huangjin Legions hurried as fast as they could, they were still a step too late and were directly blocked by them.
Among the alien lord's people, Wei Jun, one of the earlier arrivals, looked at Lu HaiKong's two terrifying cavalry legions and the technicians, a cold smile appearing on his lips: "Lu HaiKong, your eating manners are really not good, huh!"
