He was one of the few people who didn't participate in Qin Lin's wedding tonight, not that he didn't want to bless Qin Lin, but that he was flawless, and he had to keep an eye on Yi Qiong's condition at all times.

Seeing Qin Lin coming, Chen Xiao got up from the bonfire and arched his hand: "Pay homage to the chief of the guard." ”

"It's time to change the tune. ”

Hu Ren reminded.

Chen Xiao did not participate in the wedding, so naturally he didn't know about the change of power, so he was at a loss for a while.

Hu Ren said: "It should be changed to 'Pavilion Master'." ”

"Yes, yes, visit the Pavilion Master. ”

Chen Xiao immediately understood that after Qin Lin and Kong Lingyu got married, Qin Lin was the lord of Lishan.

Qin Lin waved his hand: "There is no need to be polite in wartime. ”

After that, he opened the tent curtain and walked into the tent

Ijun lay on a simple wooden bed, covered with a roll of muddy quilts.

In wartime, the territory was short of materials, and everything had to be settled.

Qin Lin came to Yi Qiong: "Are you better?"

Yi Qiong glanced at Qin Lin and didn't say anything.

"You're mad at me?"

Qin Lin asked.

Ijun remained silent.

Qin Lin turned around and motioned for Hu Ren and the others to leave first.

Hu Ren gave up, and then exited the tent, leaving room for Qin Lin and Yiqiong to talk alone.

Qin Lin chuckled and sat on the edge of Yiqiong's bed.

"It's not right for you to do this, Lishan still needs you, but you're pretending to be dumb here. ”

"I'm a waste. ”

Ijun finally spoke.

"That depends on what point of view, in terms of martial arts practice, you are indeed abolished now, but in terms of command ability, I think, there are probably few people below who can be more capable of commanding than you. ”

Qin Lin's is no exaggeration.

Among the defense systems of Lishan that once moved the Western Continent, the defense of the Praetorian Guard Regiment was the most feared by outsiders, and the person who established the defense system of the Praetorian Guard Regiment was Yi Qiong.

In addition, all the guards of the Praetorian Guard Regiment respected Icho.

Their loyalty to Iqiong is even greater than that of the Pavilion Master.

In other words, for a long time in the past, the true allegiance of the Praetorian Guard was Iqiong, not the Lishan Pavilion Master.

That's what makes Icho so personal.

Qin Lin exhaled: "I am not here to inspire you to start your life again, but to tell you that you must continue to fulfill your duties. ”

"I'm a wreck, what else can I do?"

Ijun's frustration was intense.

In fact, he was also blaming himself, after all, he personally killed more than a dozen guards of the Praetorian Guard.

Qin Lin: "What can you do, I don't know, it depends on how you choose, anyway, by tomorrow at the latest, the reinforcements of the Xiao clan in Plateau Prefecture should arrive, there will be a big battle to be fought on Lishan Mountain, my duty is to win this battle, and after that, it should be your duty." ”

"What do you mean?"

Yi Qiong looked at Qin Lin.

"If I win the battle, I'm going to be away for a while, three years, three years before I come back. "Qin Lin.

"Didn't you just get married to the Pavilion Master?"

Ichoan was visibly taken aback.

Qin Lin sighed, shook his head and laughed at himself: "Yes, so I'm such a bastard." ”

"Why? Since you are leaving, why do you want to marry the Pavilion Master at this time?"

Ijun was a little excited.

Obviously, even if he felt that he was a waste, he was still stubbornly loyal to Kong Lingyu and the Kong family.

Qin Lin was pleased with this, stood up and said, "Wei Ying will stay in Lishan, I will share 20% of her benefits in Lishan, and she will help me defend Lishan." ”

"Twenty percent of the benefits?"

When Yi Qiong heard this, she frowned, and her weak body sat up with difficulty: "Qin Lin, you are presumptuous, how can the interests of my Lishan allow you to share them with the Wei family, and I will share them with the Wei family." ”

"I'm the Pavilion Master, and I can decide how Lishan's profits are divided. ”

Qin Lin said lightly.

“......”

Ijun was shocked and speechless.

Qin Lin continued: "Originally, the distribution of benefits in Lishan was shared by the Seven Elder Families, but now it is not, I will abolish all the Seven Elder Families, so in fact, after distributing two percent of the benefits to the Wei Clan, the Kong Clan still has much more in hand than before!"

Hearing this, Ijun was even more speechless.

As the chief guard of Lishan, he is also a high-level official, so he naturally knows how unfavorable the original distribution of interests in Lishan was to the Kong family.

He lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

Then he said in a low voice: "The Wei clan is powerful, how can their ambitions be satisfied with twenty percent of interests?"

"So, I'm coming for you. Qin Lin replied.

"What's your plan?" asked Ijon.

"There is no plan, just hope that the Minister of Defense will take responsibility and rebuild the defense system of Lishan. ”

“......”

Ijun fell silent again.

Qin Lin smiled faintly, "You think about it, I'll be here tonight, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, after you think about it, you can let whoever you want to convey it to me tomorrow." ”

Over, Qin Lin was about to walk out of the tent.

"No!"

Yiqiong spoke, and he: "Don't think about it, Lishan, I will guard, even if I am a waste......"

Ijon's tone of reply was frustrated, but his attitude was by no means improvised.

It should be, he has been thinking about how to continue to dedicate himself to Lishan after he loses his cultivation.

At this time, Qin Lin's visit gave him a clear direction, that is, to use his wisdom and experience to strengthen the defense of Lishan!

Leaving the camp, Qin Lin marched in the direction of the front of the territory array.

Wei Ying seemed to have guessed that Qin Lin was coming back, and she had been standing in front of the formation, and when she saw Qin Lin, she smiled.

"The groom, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, but it's good for you not to accompany your wife, you are very busy walking around in the territory. ”

Wei Ying said sarcastically.

Qin Lin shrugged: "If nothing else, reinforcements from the Plateau Prefecture will inevitably arrive tomorrow." ”

"So you're going to give an account of your three-year retreat before they come?"

Wei Ying asked, shaking her head: "I'm too anxious, this battle hasn't been fought yet, it's not certain whether you can win or not, and it's still unknown whether you can successfully retreat." ”

"If you win, you can definitely win. Qin Lin disagreed.

Wei Ying was a little surprised: "Are you completely sure?" or are you blindly confident?"

"I'm absolutely sure, can you believe it?"

"Faith!"

Wei Ying affirmed, she did believe Qin Lin, and even, she had never believed Qin Lin's every word like this at this moment.

Qin Lin said with a smile: "I have wronged you, there is really no place for you to settle in the territory, so you can only camp outside the territory." ”

"It's enough, it's a war, it's not particular. ”

Wei Ying smiled, and then: "Qin Lin, you should have seen through me a long time ago, I usually pretend to be weak, but I'm not really weak, mine can withstand the wind and rain." ”

"Well, I know. ”

Qin Lin nodded.

The two men then sat facing each other on two stones, under the stars, and talked to each other.

It was getting late, and Qin Lin got up.

"Wei Ying, three years is not a short time, so ...... Please. ”

Qin Lin gave up.

Wei Ying was still sitting on the stone, looking up at the sky.

Responded softly: "What I promised you, I will definitely do, just like if you promised not to spare things, you will also do it desperately." ”

"Thank you. ”

After that, Qin Lin turned around and walked towards the stone tower.

Wei Ying, who was left, looked at his back.

Gradually, Wei Ying accepted the fact that she had lost the initiative, and she was even unwilling to regain the dominant position.

The inexplicable emotions in my heart have been overflowing.

In the past, her biggest fear was losing control, but now she has been losing control.

"Qin Lin, I will be expelled by the Wei clan next year, but don't worry, I won't break my promise to you, and I have other forces to defend Lishan. ”

Wei Ying muttered to herself.

Next year, she will be sixteen years old, as a member of the first Xiuwu clan in the Western Continent, at the age of sixteen, but without any cultivation, Wei Ying will not be qualified to continue to stay in the Wei clan, but she has attracted talented people from all walks of life over the years, and has already formed her own power.

It's just that her own power was originally used to compete for the inheritance power of the Wei family, but now she has decided to give up, she wants to defend Lishan for Qin Lin.

"Sister, do you really want to do this?"

In the camp behind him, Yang Xiao came slowly.

He regretted: "When we came out of the Tongwu Pavilion today, the purpose was to capture this territory, but now you have to give up the power of Lishan for the sake of Qin Lin, and also give up ......."

Yang Xiao already knew Wei Ying's next plan, and couldn't help sighing.

Wei Ying shook her head and looked at the starry sky again.

"It was a fantastic night. ”

She smiled faintly.

A change in perception may take a lifetime, or it may only take a moment.

Wei Ying felt that she had experienced a round of life and death today.

The dead self is so confused, he doesn't know where the future is, he just blindly pretends, fights for power, and lives meaninglessly.

And now that I have been reborn, I have a clear direction in life.

That is to be like Qin Lin, to be a person who is truly trustworthy.

Wei Ying got up from the stone and said to Yang Xiao with a smile: "In the future, Lishan will be our home." ”

"Sister, do you really ...... Don't regret it?"

"What is there to regret?"

Wei Ying asked rhetorically, stepped forward to Yang Xiao, and patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, I don't have a place to go, do I? I'm going to leave the Wei clan next year, where should I go then?"

"You already have the support of sixteen state capital level clans, as well as hundreds of Jianghu masters, although you have no cultivation, but with your resourcefulness, it is impossible for the state lord to expel you from the Wei clan no matter what. ”

Yang Xiao was a little anxious.

Wei Ying shook his head: "Even if my father protects me, I can stay in the Wei clan for the time being, but what will the elders think in the future? What will the elders think? What do the uncles and brothers of the relatives think, my Wei clan is the first cultivation clan, how can I be allowed to be such a person without cultivation?"

"Sister......

Yang Xiao felt sad for Wei Ying, and couldn't help but hate that the master was unfair and didn't give Wei Ying a chance to cultivate martial arts.

Wei Ying smiled: "Okay, let's rest early, tomorrow will be a tough battle." ”

"Yes. ”

Yang Xiao is no longer many.

He raised his head and looked at the stone building.

He didn't know whether to hate Qin Lin or thank Qin Lin, and his mood was a little complicated.

......

Qin Lin, who returned to the stone building, smelled a strange breath.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Sure enough, when he stepped over the stairs to the third floor, Kong Lingyu Sequoia was elegant, standing at the top of the stairs with his hands crossed on his hips, his eyes showing a fierce light.

"You, why are you standing here silently?"

Qin Lin couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Kong Lingyu said ruthlessly: "You still have the face to ask me why I'm standing here, why don't you want to think about what you're doing?"

"I'm going to explain things. ”

"Tell whom?"

"Lao Niu, Hu Ren, and Yiqiong, and finally Wei Ying. ”

Qin Lin replied honestly.

When Kong Lingyu heard the word "Wei Ying", his eyebrows were already tightly locked.

"You still dare, why are you going to find Wei Ying, you don't know what day it is tonight, you still go to Wei Ying, let others see it, do you want the face of the pavilion master!"

The girl was angry.

She habitually called herself "the master of the pavilion", and she couldn't change it for a while.

Qin Lin smiled faintly: "Are you doing this to save face, or are you jealous?"

"Who wants to eat your vinegar!"

Flushed blush.

Qin Lin stepped forward and stretched out his arms to hug her.

She took a step back.

"Stay away from me, you bad guy. The girl was furious.

The corners of Qin Lin's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile.

Immediately, he couldn't help but bend his waist suddenly, and when he reached out to hug Kong Lingyu's thin waist, he had already stood up and carried her directly on his shoulders.

Kong Lingyu was shocked.

"What are you doing, let me go!"

"Spring Festival is worth a thousand dollars, you know, we should do something that needs to be done. ”

With that, Qin Lin carried her into the room.

The girl's whole face turned red, and she knew what to do at the time of the Spring Festival, but she was at a loss, and she didn't know whether to resist or obey......

Dawn breaks.

In the last dim hour before dawn, outside Huashan City, a caravan of chariots and horses was mighty, with more than 300 people.

The leader was a young man dressed in a splendid brocade robe.

Fair-skinned and handsome, it is the first impression of the guards of Huashan City on the man.

They were even amazed at how a man could be born as beautiful as a woman.

"Who's coming?"

The guard asked.

The man pulled out a token from his bosom, with the name of a dart game engraved on it.

As a city of commerce and trade, Huashan City has never had a curfew, so there are caravans coming and going, and the number of large caravans can reach 1,000 people, and the caravans are also composed of dozens of people, so in the face of more than 300 male caravans, the guards are not suspicious.

"Going to the city to buy medicinal herbs?"

Routine inquiries from the guards.

"Yes, there are a lot of things to buy, and you may need to stay in the city for three or five days. ”

The man responded softly, very politely.

The guard took out the register, took a stick of incense to register the names of all the members of the caravan, and then routinely conducted a basic inspection of the caravan's carriages and horses, and then released the school

The guards didn't expect that when the man entered Huashan City, he casually threw away the token engraved with the name of the dart game.

Because the token is fake.

All the names of the caravan are naturally fake.

"Huashan City, I heard my brother mention it, and I thought it was such a prosperous city, but it turned out to be in tatters. ”

Yuan Yan stood in front of the ruins of the main street, disdainful.

The ruins were left behind by Qin Lin and Yuan Lie when they were killed, Yuan Yan didn't care much about this, and only ordered his dead guards: "You guys disperse first, and then go up to Lishan after the dawn." ”

"Yes!"

The guards then dispersed and hid in the big streets of Huashan City

Yuan Yan walked towards the courtyard.

It didn't take long for him to see Lao Wen in front of the courtyard already waiting.

"The old servant paid homage to General Yuan Yan. ”

Lao Wen's heart was excited.

Yuan Yan ignored him and walked into the gate of the village.

Hundreds of entourage guards in the courtyard bowed to Yuan Yan one after another.

"Old Wen, what's going on with that Qin Lin?"

"General......

Old Wen hesitated for a moment, then sighed.

Yuan Yan snorted coldly: "Shao pretended in front of General Ben, what kind of virtue are you Lao Wen, General Ben is clear, straight, what's going on?"

"The general misunderstood, Lao Wen is not pretending, it is true, he is really afraid, he is really helpless. ”

"Less nonsense, to the point. ”

Yuan Yan showed a look of displeasure.

Lao Wen didn't do much emotion, and arched his hand: "Then Qin Lin is a monster, he can't be killed, you should have seen that ruin when you just entered the city, it was left by Qin Lin." ”

"Oh?"

Yuan Yan became a little interested.

Lao Wen sighed again, and he added: "That ruin, after General Yuan Lie came that day, he and Qin Lin started to do it...... It was a blazing night, as if the ground was cracking. ”

"My brother really came to Huashan City, presumably he has died in the hands of Qin Lin. ”

Yuan Yan was emotionless.

Lao Wen was a little shocked, and said tremblingly: "Yes, General Yuan Lie did not come back, and he did not see anyone alive or dead." ”

"In this way, I can guess what Qin Lin's strength is, it's kind of interesting!"

Yuan Yan smiled lightly and looked in the direction of Lishan.
