In Qin Lin's eyes, the major families in Xiangcheng were just gall rats. They held back their strength, secretly thinking about making two moves with the New Qin Clan, but they didn't dare to make a move, in vain, they were also afraid of the terrifying strength of the Qin Lin Martial Sect Realm.

It's just that fear is fear, and they are not convinced in their hearts, so Qin Lin plans to let them be completely convinced.

In the following days, Anjing City was calm as usual.

This made Qin Lin feel a little bored, so he went to the courtyard of the cherry blossom mirror idlely, wanting to see how the formation was cracked.

I have to, Sakura Mirror is a person who is absolutely endowed.

Back then, with the incomplete "Secret of Shengling", he also carried the banner of the scorching sun mountain city, and once made the Qin family in Changzhou fearful. Now, he has also relied on two sets of seemingly completely unrelated formations and the "Star Array Collection" to find some doorways.

When Qin Lin walked into the courtyard, he saw that several screens were placed in the courtyard, and they were placed in the same way as the stone walls, all of which were crossed horizontally and vertically, in no order.

"Yes, this is to move the formation to the courtyard. Qin Lin smiled.

Only Sakura Xin was in the courtyard, and she could hear Qin Lin's voice and turn her head.

"You're here. "She.

"Well, let's take a look at your brothers and sisters, and by the way, ask about the formation, what about your brother?" Qin Lin walked around the screen.

"My brother went to the school field, and these days he always studies in the school for a while, and then goes to the school field to experiment for a while. As Sakura spoke, the maid brought tea.

She poured tea for Qin Lin and said, "During this time, I obviously feel that my brother is a lot happier, and he should like this process of cracking the formation very much. ”

"Everyone has their own interests, your brother is not suitable to be a bandit, he should be a martial arts researcher. Qin Lin took a sip of tea and said.

"What is a martial arts researcher?" Sakura had never heard of this title.

Qin Lin paused, and said in his heart: "That's right, this is the Western Continent, and there is no such advanced martial cultivator existing. However, in the Central Plains, especially the Martial Emperor family, there are not many martial arts researchers, otherwise, the Martial Emperor family would not be able to compile the "Soul Yuan Xuandu". ”

Qin Lin couldn't explain to Sakura Xin that the Martial Emperor family had martial arts researchers, so he only: "Aren't the martial arts secrets cultivated by our clans all studied by these martial arts researchers? ”

"Sounds great. Sakura smiled.

"Your brother is just not convinced, if he is willing to be of the same heart with me, maybe one day my new Qin clan will become the most powerful clan because of his research. Qin Lin shook his head helplessly.

Sakura Xin pursed her lips: "Without my brother, you can make the Qin clan the strongest clan." ”

Sakura took a bite to eat.

When she thought about it, time didn't pass much faster. When I met Qin Lin back then, Qin Lin was sixteen years old, and he was just a figure who took refuge in the Su clan in Changzhou, but now it has only been four years, and Qin Lin's influence has covered the entire Western Continent.

From Lanzhou, the southernmost state, to the northernmost plateau state.

Sakura Xin was thinking about the territory of forces related to Qin Lin, and couldn't help but marvel a little.

To achieve such influence in just four years, Qin Lin is really an unprecedented powerhouse.

"What do you want?" Qin Lin asked as he looked at the cherry blossoms in a daze.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel like you've been through so much over the years. "She.

"Isn't that what people are, if you don't go out, you can't see anything, once you go out, it's hard to stop, even if your footsteps stop, your heart is floating outside, the martial arts world, you can't help yourself." Qin Lin said lightly.

"Yes, you can't help yourself, you're married. Sakura Xin suddenly changed her words and mentioned the matter of Qin Lin and Kong Lingyu.

Qin Lin didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer.

Sakura Xin: "But it's okay, if you get married, I don't have to marry you, it's scary to think about it now, I wasn't even fifteen years old at that time, and I haven't seen what this looks like, so I almost want to marry you, and now it's good, I can still have a lot of choices." ”

"I'm glad you think so. Qin Lin didn't know if he was like this, whether it was appropriate or not.

At this time, outside the courtyard, the cherry blossom mirror emitted a hearty laugh.

He didn't notice Qin Lin when he walked into the courtyard, he lowered his head and looked at the Star Array Collection, while smiling: "Xin, I finally figured out the basic mental method of the formation. ”

"Really. Sakura is happy for her brother.

Qin Lin got up: "You still have a way." ”

Hearing Qin Lin's voice, Sakura Mirror was stunned, raised her head and looked at Qin Lin, her expression solemn.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

"This is also a problem for you, this is my Qin Clan's mansion. "Qin Lin is not angry.

"Hehe, Woose. Sakura Mirror was obviously in a good mood, and she didn't quarrel with Qin Lin.

Qin Lin asked, "You have already cracked the basic heart method?"

"Almost. The cherry blossom mirror spread the "Star Array Collection" on the table, posing as a teacher.

"Well, don't sell it. Qin Lin knew that Sakura Mirror was also a strong person, and it was rare to grasp a skill that could crush him at the moment, so he naturally wanted to fiddle with it.

Sakura Mirror smiled disdainfully: "Do you still need me, do you look at the records of the "Star Array Collection" carefully, don't you think there is anything missing?"

"Nonsense, if it wasn't lacking, the heart formula would have been seen a long time ago, and there must be a lack of it to be able to compile a complete heart formula. ”

"You're wrong, look closely. Sakura Kagami eyebrows twitched.

Qin Lin glanced at him blankly, and he really took a serious closer look, not only to take a closer look, but also to repeat the wall layout of the formation over and over again in his thoughts.

Suddenly, an idea crossed his mind.

Raising his head, while looking at the cherry blossom mirror in surprise, he blurted out: "What is missing is the formation layout!"

"Huh?" Sakura Mirror was stunned.

Qin Lin curled the corners of his mouth, then stood up, and suddenly leaped into the air, overlooking the screen in the courtyard.

The decoration of the screen is modeled after the formation, Qin Lin looked down from above, and found that the layout of this formation was according to the font comparison, so when people stood on the ground and looked at it in parallel, it seemed to be crossed horizontally and vertically, and there was no rule.

The layout of the formation is a "town" character.

It's just that the word "town" is not complete, but a remnant of missing strokes.

In this way, Qin Lin also understood why when he looked down before, he couldn't find that the word "town" crossed out of the wall horizontally and vertically.

At the same time, he also understood that the driving force of the formation was to make the broken word "town" become a completed word, so that it had the power to imprison...... No, it should have played a role in the power of repression.

Qin Lin understood this and went to watch "Star Array Collection" again.

He laughed out loud in ecstasy.

The content of "Star Array Collection" is missing, and what is missing is the word "town". If the word "town" is added to several key sentences, then the entire basic mental method will be complete, and then it will cooperate with the formation to drive the martial energy, and a complete set of mental formulas can be completed.

Qin Lin cracked to this layer, raised his head and looked at the eyes of the cherry blossom mirror, there was a little more momentum of a strong man.

And the cherry blossom mirror was embarrassed, because Qin Lin was right.

It took several hours for the cherry blossom mirror to unravel the mystery of the formation, and only then did it see the flaws in the "Star Array Collection". However, it only took Qin Lin a moment to see through this speed, which made the cherry blossom mirror, who originally wanted to have a look, feel extremely frustrated, and the original good mood also disappeared.

"Amazing, amazing, Sakura Mirror, you are really powerful, if you didn't see the flaws in this, I really wouldn't have thought that the mystery of the entire formation is in the word 'town'. ”

Qin Lin watched the cherry blossom mirror's face turn bad, and he praised him.

Although it was suspected of being deliberate, Qin Lin really felt that the cherry blossom mirror was powerful, and he could see the broken part of the formation.

Sakura Mirror snorted coldly: "It's not as powerful as you, okay, since the formation has been cracked, then it makes no sense for me to stay in your Qin Mansion, farewell." ”

Sakura Mirror lost her temper and wanted to leave, which made Sakura Xin look inexplicable.

She had no idea what was going on, so why was she going to leave all of a sudden?

"Sakura Mirror, you are thirty years old, as for being so hypocritical?" Qin Lin stepped forward to stop him angrily.

"Qin Family Master, oh, no, it's the Great City Lord of Qin, you have already cracked the formation, what's the use of keeping me?"

"You are the elder of my Qin clan, how can there be a reason why the elder does not live in the courtyard. Qin Lin smiled.

"I really don't know what virtue I have, how can I be the elder of your Qin clan. Sakura Mirror pouted.

Qin Lin thought for a moment: "Just because you used to be the city lord of Scorching Sun Mountain City. ”

"No, I'm not just the one I was, I'm still the master of the Scorching Sun Mountain City. ”

"Okay, listen to you, I can immediately rename Anjing City to Scorching Sun Mountain City, and I can also give you the position of city lord directly. "Qin Lin is generous.

This made the cherry blossom mirror stunned, and he didn't understand what Qin Lin meant by this suddenly.

Qin Lin said with a smile: "I'm about to take Xiangcheng, and it's okay to entrust Anjing City to you." ”

"You're going to fight. ”

"No, I don't necessarily have to fight, didn't I take Anjing City without blood, maybe this time, I can fight without blood. Qin Lin was a little proud.

When it comes to bloodlessness, Sakura Mirror really wants to admit Qin Lin's strength. An Jingcheng's eventual ability to complete the change of banners in a calm manner was closely related to the strategy used by Qin Lin.

However, as for whether Xiangcheng can fight without blood, Sakura Mirror does not look forward to it.

He used a slightly mocking tone: "The city lord of Qin feels too good about himself, Xiangcheng is not as good as Anjing City, the Jiang and Liu clans in Anjing City are just poor clans, and the six clans in Xiangcheng are ...... Although it is not comparable to the state-level clans, Xiangcheng is a necessary city for the trade route of Lizhou, and the strength of the six families is not to be ignored. ”

"Good!" Qin Lin arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Sakura for the reminder." ”

"Hypocrisy!" the cherry blossom mirror glanced at Qin Lin.

Qin Lin said: "Please also ask Brother Sakura to stay in the Qin Mansion and wait for my good news." ”

"How long, a year and a half, or ten or eight years?" Sakura scoffed.

Qin Lin calculated the time and said, "A month." ”

"A month ......" Sakura Mirror raised an eyebrow.

If Qin Lin wants to conquer Xiangcheng by force, it will indeed only take a month, or even, it will not take a month at all, to completely capture Xiangcheng. But if you want to be bloodless, then look at the situation in Anjing City, you should know that it took nearly two months for Qin Lin to take Anjing City.

So Sakura Mirror didn't think so, yin and yang weird: "Okay, a month is a month, let's see how the city lord of Qin Dacheng can take Xiangcheng without blood in a month." ”

Qin Lin didn't say anything more.

In fact, Qin Lin still needs to consider whether Xiangcheng should also take the same bloody sword, but well, it is the best result if he can not do it.

Half a month was spent in all kinds of boredom.

Tomorrow is the day of the auction, Qin Lin brought enough silver tickets and went to Xiangcheng with Lin Chuyu.

It only takes half a day to travel between Anjing City and Xiangcheng, and Qin Lin set off after lunch and arrived at the setting sun.

Since the news of the auction house has already been scattered throughout the territory of Lizhou, it makes tonight's Xiangcheng particularly lively. Merchants from all walks of life flocked to the city, and the crowds from all walks of life were endless.

"It's weird, isn't it just the auction of a Lingbo sword, as for so many people rushing to Xiangcheng?" Lin Chuyu complained a little, mainly because the inn was full, and there were no cherry blossoms if he wanted to find a place to stay

Qin Lin shrugged: "It's not surprising, the Lingbo Sword is the heirloom of the Chang family, compared to the five major families, the Chang family is the one who wants to auction the Lingbo Sword the most, but in terms of regulations, the Chang family cannot participate in this auction, so the Chang family must find a third party to participate in the auction, and then buy the Lingbo Sword back from the third party." ”

"Is this okay?" Lin Chuyu was surprised.

Qin Lin: "Why not? Unless the Lord of Lizhou orders that only people from the five major families are allowed to bid in this auction, it will not be possible for the Chang family to find a third party to bid." ”

"That's right. Lin Chuyu nodded, and then asked, "Then why doesn't the Lord of Lizhou stipulate that only people from the five major families should be allowed to shoot?"

"It's not simple, to prevent the five major families from joining forces to cheat, although the five major families all want the Ling Bo Sword, but they can still digest themselves internally, that is, they can leave the Ling Bo Sword in Xiangcheng at a very low price at the auction, and then bid internally, so that they don't have to pay a huge amount of money to the Chang family, after all, the auction proceeds belong to the Chang family. ”

Qin Lin explained this minimum detail.

Lin Chuyu admired Qin Lin, and he was able to think so carefully. However, if it is a third party to help the Chang family auction, then no matter how much money is auctioned, the money will eventually be paid to the Chang family, and the Chang family will use this money to buy back the Lingbo Sword from the third party.

Regarding this question, Qin Lin first smiled and said nothing, and then said quietly: "Do you really think that the Lord of Lizhou is doing charity? It is not certain that some of the proceeds from today's auction will end up in the pocket of the Chang family, and in addition, how much of the wealth that the Lord of Lizhou helped the Chang family keep, how much of it was really returned to the Chang family?"

"This ......" Lin Chuyu didn't have much of a concept.

Qin Lin smiled and continued: "The people of the five major families are not stupid, they know that the wealth of the Chang family cannot be occupied, because the lord of Lizhou also wants to occupy it, so they honestly return the wealth to the Chang family, in fact, it is given to the lord of Lizhou." ”

"It's too dark. Lin Chuyu was stunned.
