Lin Qian had already set up Old Qi's hut. With the help of the Ministry of Heavenly Works's soul tool, he was able to easily set up the formation.
After the illusory array was successfully set up, outsiders could only see Old Qi hugging his head in agony. He looked extremely sorrowful.
But in reality?
A brand new square table was placed in the middle of the hut. There were all kinds of delicious dishes on it. Old Qi angrily knocked Qi Yan's hand with his chopsticks and told him not to wolf down the food. Otherwise, Lin Qian would laugh at him.
Lin Qian laughed and shook his head. "It's fine. He's just a kid. Let him eat to his heart's content."
Qi Yan's injuries were almost healed because of Lin Qian's potion. At this moment, he looked at Lin Qian timidly.
"Eat to your heart's content. After you're full, go take a walk and have a good rest. Only by taking care of your body can your grandfather be at ease." Lin Qian laughed when he saw Qi Yan's expression.
Qi Yan smiled when he heard Lin Qian's words. He nodded and continued to devour the food in front of him.
Old Qi looked at his grandson and shook his head helplessly. A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
Soon after, Old Qi, who had finished eating, turned around and looked at the center of his room. There was a three meter wide hole in the middle of the room.
Previously, Lin Qian asked Old Qi for help. He asked Old Qi if he could make a hole in the hut.
Old Qi didn't hesitate to agree to Lin Qian's request. His grandson's life was saved by Lin Qian, so what did it matter if he made a hole in the hut?
After getting Old Qi's consent, Lin Qian used the Ministry of Heavenly Works's soul tool to set up a formation. After isolating the inside and outside of the hut, he summoned a male blacksmith to the door and asked him to walk in.
After entering Old Qi's hut, the male blacksmith followed Lin Qian's instructions and started to make a hole.
Not long after, Old Qi, who was watching from the side, was shocked to find that the man had already dug such a hole in the middle of his house. The man had disappeared into the hole.
As for the gravel and soil produced from digging the hole, they were all stored in the storage space.
What made Old Qi feel strange was that Lin Qian would go down for a short period of time from time to time, and then use his soul power to fly back up.
Of course, Old Qi didn't know that every time Lin Qian went down, he would summon the male craftsmen from the Hua Xia Empire to speed up the excavation.
In the entire Imperial Water City, not a single person knew that the ground beneath their feet had already been excavated by the Hua Xia Empire's craftsmen.
In the middle of the tunnel, there were many metal tokens that were engraved with formation patterns. Once the formation was successfully activated, and Lin Qian poured his soul power into them, these metal tokens would be completely activated, and they would be able to unleash their effects.
Once the array formation was successfully activated, the entire Imperial Water City would become Lin Qian's private property. It would become the Imperial Water City of the Hua Xia Empire.
As for why Lin Qian made it so troublesome, it was because Zhuge Ming discovered a problem with the Qin Dynasty. The array formation of each city was actually connected to the array formation of the other cities.
When Zhuge Ming heard this news, he laughed for a long time and shouted that the heavens were helping the empire.
Through the connection between the array formations of the Qin Dynasty, Zhuge Ming could completely use the Imperial Water City as a base, and then let the array virus follow this connection to corrode the array formations of the other cities. It was like the spring rain that moistened everything, and unknowingly, it would completely invade the array formations.
As for whether the other party would defend?
Of course not. This world was far too unfamiliar with the Hua Xia Empire, and they didn't know what the empire was capable of. They simply didn't think that there would be something like an array virus.
Therefore, if there was an array formation that could be observed, it would be clear that the craftsmen beneath the Imperial Water City weren't digging a tunnel, but a formation!
"Young man, this old man is bold enough to ask you something. Could it be that you want to defeat the Qin Dynasty with this hole?" Old Qi asked curiously when he saw Lin Qian staring at the hole in front of him.
Lin Qian didn't rush to answer Old Qi's question. He only stared at the dark hole for a while before saying, "This won't be able to destroy the Qin Dynasty, but it will be able to make them feel fear."
Digging a hole could make the Qin Dynasty feel fear?
Old Qi shook his head and looked at Lin Qian with a bit of a smile. In his eyes, this young man was good at everything except for the fact that he liked to brag and talk about unrealistic things.
While Lin Qian's craftsmen were busy working under the Imperial Water City, in the imperial capital of the Qin Dynasty, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty was sitting high up in the majestic imperial palace.
"The two prefectures are at a disadvantage again, what is going on?" Everyone knew that the two sides were secretly competing against each other. For a long time, it was the Qin Dynasty that sent good news. This made the current emperor of the Qin Dynasty, as well as the princes and marquises of the other dynasties feel proud.
The geniuses of the Qin Dynasty were much stronger than those of the other three powers. The Qin Dynasty had a deep foundation, so the other three powers were naturally not their opponents.
However, they didn't know that the reason the Qin Dynasty had the upper hand was not because their geniuses were strong, but because they had more people.
Now, with the help of Lei Qian and Gao Benli, the pressure on Fang Ziqian, Li Yunfeng, and Yang Tianhao was greatly reduced. The geniuses of the Qin Dynasty who had the upper hand were gradually losing ground.
Also, because of Lin Qian, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty had suffered a great loss. As time went by, the three powers started to gain the upper hand.
If the three powers still couldn't gain the upper hand with Lin Qian's help, then they would be too useless.
"Gather your forces and don't move. Don't be too impatient." The emperor of the Qin Dynasty who was sitting high up in the imperial palace said calmly. He didn't seem to care about the situation of the two prefectures.
In the imperial palace, the princes and marquises all left. When they walked out of the imperial palace, they were discussing with each other strangely.
"According to the emperor's personality, I'm afraid he would have already started the war. Why is he not moving now? This is too strange."
"Indeed. After knowing that the two prefectures are at a disadvantage, he didn't do anything. He doesn't care at all."
Everyone shook their heads in confusion and left the imperial palace, leaving only the Sixth Marquis in the imperial palace.
"Emperor Qin, Imperial Brother, when will you and Imperial Father return?" After everyone left, the Sixth Marquis said to the emperor helplessly, "Those three powers are too arrogant."
"No matter. When father and I return, we will wipe out the three sects and sacrifice them to my dead son. That small country called Hua Xia has no right to sacrifice my son."
