In the evening, in a courtyard of the Reception Courtyard of Xuantian Peak …
The two moons were hanging high in the sky. All the mountain peaks of Xuantian 18 Mountain Peaks were bathing in the tranquil moonlight. The night wind was blowing over Xuantian Peak, causing the pines to sway.
This courtyard had the best scenery in the Reception Courtyard. It was Lu Zhongming, Lin Huanxi and their disciples who lived here.
After walking around in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and having supper in Xuantian City, they returned to Xuantian Peak. Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi then returned to their courtyard. When Lin Huanxi was guiding some disciples, Lu Zhongming came to the viewing pavilion of the courtyard and stood there silently, watching the scenery of Xuantian 18 Mountain Peaks.
Not knowing when, Lin Huanxi had appeared behind Lu Zhongming and gently put a cloak on Lu Zhongming's back.
As a knight, of course, Zhang Tie was not afraid of such coldness. However, the couple loved each other very much. They had been together before promoting to knights. Therefore, many living habits and details remained unchanged for dozens of years.
When his beloved wife arrived, Lu Zhongming pressed Lin Huanxi's hand as he turned around and revealed a smile, "I thought you've gone to bed!"
"I found you couldn't fall asleep and had something on your mind today. Therefore, I came here to take a look!" Lin Huanxi replied with a tender smile.
"You know what I'm thinking about?"
"We've been married for dozens of years. After coming back from Xuantian City, I've realized that you have something on your mind!"
Lu Zhongming's eye light flickered as he asked, "What do you think I'm thinking about?"
Lin Huanxi didn't answer him as she just pointed at Immortalspring Peak in the distance, "I like that place. What do you think?"
Lu Zhongming became stunned for a second before bursting out into laughter, "Honey, you really know what I'm thinking about. I thought you wouldn't agree!"
Lin Huanxi let out a sigh, "As the chaotic situation in Taixia Country gradually becomes obvious, although you and I are knights, we're just like duckweeds in such a chaotic world. Although Guzhou Province is good, Minling Swordsmanship Sect's foundation is too shallow. It's a perilous world. This holy war might be a catastrophe for humans. If there's an accident, an earth knight could exterminate us and Minling Swordsmanship Sect overnight. In such a world, even knights have to cooperate with each other for survival. Zhang Tie had saved my life in the Earth-elements Realm. This person values comradeship more than life and death. Although he has profound secret skills and abilities, he's modest and not ambitious. He's our benefactor and good friend. Although 15 of the 18 Xuantian mountain peaks are still vacant, when Fiery Oil is released, Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory will definitely attract the attention of the world. By then, the 18 Xuantian mountain peaks will soon have their own owners. Zhang Tie is thirsty for talents and has already started to recruit clan warriors. Now that you and I have such a good chance, why would we miss it? "
"Honey, you really know me best!" Lu Zhongming also let out a deep sigh as he looked up at the sky, "Previously, I didn't make up my mind; however, I've seen that Zhang Tie is straightforward. He could even hand over the industry of Fiery Oil which could produce 100 million gold coins a year to us so that we could benefit from it in Zhongbei Military Region. He's a real hero. No wonder he could convince Mountain Lifting Hermit who was always alone in the Earth-elements Realm. Although he has a lot of wives and concubines, he could win the favor of the princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Additionally, given the current situation, 3 of the top 7 sects in Taixia Country are on good terms with him. It's also a matter that Zhang Tie would like to unite with Lord Guangnan's Mansion by marriage in the future. All the major powers in Lord Guangnan's Mansion would be his guests. Zhang Tie is just over 30 years old this year. He has a bright future. It's really a great fortune for us to join Fire-Dragon Sect with such a good friend. Previously, I was worried that Honey couldn't let go of Minling Swordsmanship Sect; I've not imagined that Honey could see through it better than me!"
"If we come here, we only need to bring our disciples here. We only have hundreds of disciples. Immortalspring Peak is enough for us to settle down here. Mountain Lifting Hermit and younger sister Suxian both want to recruit disciples. Mountain Lifting Hermit directly wants to leave his orthodoxy here. If you and I come here, Minling Swordsmanship Sect would be a branch of Fire-Dragon Sect in the Immortalspring Peak. In the Immortalspring Peak, you and I would be the masters. How could we not see through it?"
"If so, I will tell Zhang Tie right now …" The moment Lu Zhongming made his decision, he wanted to find Zhang Tie right away; however, he was stopped by Lin Huanxi.
"I'll talk to him tomorrow morning!"
"Ahh, why not tonight?"
Lin Huanxi said bashfully, "I saw that younger sister Suxian had already arrived at the Clan Head's Pavilion …"
Lu Zhongming became stunned for a second. Closely after that, he understood it. At the same time, he put one hand on Lin Huanxi's beautiful face and gently stroked it, saying, "In this case, let's make a deal tomorrow. It's a beautiful night tonight. Every minute of the night is precious. Honey, let's go to have a rest …"
Lin Huanxi's face blushed a bit …
…
After spending one night with Bai Suxian, Zhang Tie saw Bai Zhengnan off Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory for South Border the next day.
After visiting Zhang Tie's Fiery Oil Base, airplanes and engines factory in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory yesterday, Zhang Tie talked with Bai Zhengnan for one hour and settled the details of the cooperation. Today, Bai Zhengnan couldn't wait to return to South Border.
Before leaving Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, Bai Zhengnan's airboat had been loaded with two airplanes, 20 dual-drive engines, 100 tons of Fiery Oil and the parent bacteria of high-power yeast that Zhang Tie handed to him. With these items, the troops in South Border could gradually be equipped with airplanes and establish air corps by this autumn.
When will you and Suxian come to South Border to meet this old man and settle the marriage between you and Suxian? You don't know that this old man has been worrying about that this daughter could not find a good husband. Since she was young, I've only seen you subdue Suxian. This is fate. As Taixia Country is a bit unstable now, you might not be able to stay out of the trouble in Youzhou Province. The identity of the son-in-law of Lord Guangnan's Mansion could frighten some people in Taixia Country! "
Before leaving, Bai Zhengnan embraced Zhang Tie fervently. After what happened yesterday, Bai Zhengnan had completely treated Zhang Tie as his brother-in-law and Zhang Tie's brother-in-law. Therefore, he didn't treat Zhang Tie politely anymore.
After hearing that Bai Zhengnan wanted Zhang Tie to go to Lord Guangnan's Mansion, Bai Suxian's ears pricked up like that of a rabbit at once although he didn't directly propose a marriage.
"Well, I will bring Suxian to Lord Guangnan's Mansion to propose a marriage between Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian!" Zhang Tie said honestly.
Bai Zhengnan patted Zhang Tie's shoulder as he nodded. After bidding farewell to Mountain Lifting Hermit, Bai Zhengnan and Bai Suxian, he boarded his airboat.
The airboat took off from the airport of Xuantian Peak and headed for the south.
Watching the airboat off, Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh.
The seed of Fiery Oil had been sown. With the intervention of Heavens Fortune Sect and Lord Guangnan's Mansion, unless Taixia Country was overturned in a split second, nobody else could change the trend of Fiery Oil spreading across the country in the future.
Watching the airboat disappearing in the skyline, Zhang Tie seemed to see many familiar yet strange faces in the sky that he had seen in Selnes Theater of Operations. They were all common fighters in Selnes Theater of Operations with different skin colors and faces. Some of them were crew members of airships, some were heroic glider drivers and many fighters who fought wing demons tenaciously. Zhang Tie had fought with them on many battlefields. Zhang Tie saw them getting injured, dying and being shot down by wing demons from the sky like indomitable firebirds, leaving their last echoes in the sky and the earth.
They were unknown; however, their blood covered each inch of land and sky across Selnes Theater of Operations. Even though Waii Sub-continent had become a dead zone, those fresh faces and memories would never fade away in Zhang Tie's mind.
'This Fiery Oil and this airplane are dedicated to them!' 'They're dedicated to the tens of thousands of brave fighters who sacrificed themselves in the sky of Selnes Theater of Operations!'
'In the future, the sky doesn't need Selnes Eagle or air cavalries anymore. Because everyone could be Selnes Eagle or air cavalries!'
No one could understand Zhang Tie's feelings.
As for Zhang Tie, it didn't matter whether he could make a profit or not.
Watching Zhang Tie's look, the others felt that Zhang Tie was solemn and solemn as if he was fulfilling a sacred contract and pledge.
"Ahem … ahem …" Zhang Su coughed twice as he attracted Zhang Tie's attention from the sky to him, "I prepare to found the first aviation school in Xuantian City today. That new airplane might not have an official code. Later on, it would be difficult to distinguish it from other new airplanes!"
When Donder came to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, he was in charge of Zhang Tie's money bag. When Zhang Su came to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, Zhang Tie assigned this cousin to found the Fire-Dragon Corps of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory.
As Zhang Tie was the most powerful battle force in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, even if Zhang Tie didn't care about the other affairs of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory would not make any trouble.
Today, Zhang Tie had been more and more proficient in using the means of these big figures in the past.
"Let's call it Air Cavalry Type I!" Zhang Tie casually named the airplane. Closely after that, he reminded Zhang Su, "You could train a batch of pilots from airship crew who could drive gliders. It's very easy for these people to learn how to drive an airplane!"
"After reading your Flight Driving Handbook, I could fly it after a few days' exploration!" Zhang Su replied with a smile. (To be continued.)
