He also thought that it was after he entered the formation that Qin Lin drove the formation mind outside the formation, so that the formation imprisoned him.

Qin Lin shook his head: "Now no one knows what the exact formation heart recipe is, so you have to practice it over and over again, and you are the only one who has been eroded by the Phantom Clan, now it depends on whether you can find out what kind of power the formation contains, which will make the Phantom Race fear this set of formations." ”

Sakura Mirror was silent for a while, and then he took over the "Star Array Collection", "Okay, I'll try, but I have to make it clear, I'm not helping you, I'm trying to get revenge on the Phantom Clan." ”

"Okay, whatever you want, it's all school" Qin Lin didn't bother to argue with Sakura Mirror about anything.

Sakura Mirror: "Cracking the formation is not a matter of time and a half, first take us to see your so-called luxurious courtyard, if it is not luxurious enough, then I will not live in your mansion." ”

"No matter how luxurious it is, it's better than the one you live in now. Qin Lin glanced at him, and then beckoned: "Come with me." ”

The three of them headed towards the other side of the courtyard.

The specifications of the entire courtyard imitate the architectural pattern of the Wei Mansion.

That is, the east and west courtyards are divided by a central axis.

The East Courtyard includes the front hall, the middle hall, the back hall, the school ground, and other martial arts clan-related halls, that is, including the alchemy hall, the arsenal and other halls. In general, the East Courtyard is the place where the clan affairs and the disciples cultivate, while the West Courtyard is the living area, Qin Lin and his disciples, including the acolytes, live in the West Courtyard, and some of the disciples' living quarters are located in the East Courtyard.

After all, there were too many disciples, and it was obviously too crowded for all of them to live in the West Courtyard.

Qin Lin took the Sakura brothers and sisters to the backyard of the West Courtyard, and the courtyards were indeed called "luxury" from the outside. It's just that the interior decoration is a little blank.

In addition to the basic green configuration such as rockeries and lakes, a courtyard is three standard two-story buildings.

"This is your luxury!" Sakura Mirror dismayed.

Qin Lin said: "It's just that there are some decorations missing, and I don't know what style of decoration you two brothers and sisters like, so I didn't install it." ”

"Huh. Sakura Mirror sneered.

"Anyway, you can pretend as much as you want, Chunfen is responsible for managing the money, what furniture you need to buy, or what antique calligraphy and paintings, you brothers and sisters just go to Chunfen to get money. ”

"Well, we're not materialistic people. "The cherry blossoms looked in the mirror and came to the stone pavilion on the edge of the fake lake.

He spread the "Star Array Collection" on the table, and said coldly to Qin Lin: "I'll start studying the heart trick now, you can go, don't send it, it's better not to disturb me if you have nothing to do." ”

"Okay, okay, all school" Qin Lin shrugged and withdrew from the courtyard.

Sakura Shin sent him out.

She said: "Brother's anger, I don't know how long it will take to ease up." ”

"Let it be. "Qin Lin doesn't care.

Sakura Xin: "Qin Lin, arrange something for me to do, I see that Chunfen is also very busy at night, Qi Li and Lin Chuyu have also led troops to the battle, and Aji and Ado brothers and sisters are also taking the outer disciples to cultivate, and my brother is also going to study the "Star Array Collection", so I am alone in a panic." ”

"Then what do you want to do?" Qin Lin asked.

"It's okay, it's better than basking in the sun. "She.

"I wish I could be idle in the sun. Qin Lin was jealous, and then said, "That's it, there is an errand I don't know if you are willing to do it." ”

"What?"

"Help me take care of the maids' housekeepers, Chunfen was responsible for arranging their daily work before, and now Chunfen is really busy, otherwise you can help take care of it for the time being." ”

"This one is fine, no problem. Sakura is happy.

Although she has the power of the Jade Rabbit in her body, she is not a martial artist after all, and she really doesn't know how to start with other management within the martial arts clan, but she thinks she is still okay with the maid and the housekeeper.

The operation of the entire palace is nothing more than two parts, internal and external.

The outside relies on the strength of martial arts, and the inside requires delicate thinking, Sakura Xin is not the best candidate, but she can adapt to a few, and she can do it.

Ten hours have passed in the blink of an eye.

There has been no progress in cracking the formation, and Sakura Mirror is trying to understand the formation on the school field every day, in addition to studying the star array set in the courtyard.

Qi Li, and the Snow Fox returned to Anjing City after the eleventh expedition.

There is no doubt that they won the battle.

Qi Li walked into the front hall triumphantly and arched his hand in front of Qin Lin: "Master, the Wei clan is nothing more than that, their corps has gathered 23,000 troops, but they were completely defeated after only half of the battle with us, and we chased them all the way to Licheng, the state capital of Lizhou, and basically crippled them." ”

"You're ruthless. Qin Lin sat in the right seat.

"How can you be afraid of them if you are not ruthless, now that the Wei Clan's garrison in Lizhou has collapsed, look at how the Wei Clan still mobilizes the Wei soldiers in Lizhou to make trouble for us. ”

"That's the case, it's just that I pity Wei Bing, and I somehow ran into your strongest combat race corps in the Western Continent. Qin Lin smiled.

Qi Li: "Master, I think we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and directly replace the Wei clan in Lizhou, occupying the entire Lizhou." ”

"No hurry, no hurry. Qin Lin said.

"Hasn't Lin Chuyu come back yet?" Qi Qi asked.

"Not yet, but they received the news that they had also won a big victory, and now they are on their way back to the city. ”

Lin Chuyu's victory was also expected, but this was not necessarily good news, because Qin Lin had received a total of two messages.

One is good news, and the other is from Lishan, written by Wei Ying.

Wei Ying is indeed extremely smart.

Although she only stayed on top of Lishan, she could accurately judge the battle between the Wei clan and Anjingcheng.

It was no surprise that Qin Lin would win the first battle, so Wei Ying's letter to Qin Lin directly congratulated Qin Lin on his first victory. You must know that this letter was written before Lin Chuyu and Qi Li defeated the Wei Clan's corps.

After congratulating Gao Jie, Wei Ying changed his words and reminded Qin Lin: "You will win the first battle, but the subsequent battle is the real battle between you and the Wei clan. ”

Wei Ying's letter focused on mentioning the elite veterans.

According to Wei Ying's method, in the past hundred years of conquest, the Wei clan has basically adopted new recruits as pioneers, and veteran elite soldiers have conquered cities, usually after two battles, and all unconvinced opponents are convinced.

"Wei Ying's meaning is that let's not be too early. Qin Lin handed Wei Ying's letter to Qi Li.

After reading the letter, Qi Li said with disdain: "The Wei clan is really arrogant, and they actually use new recruits to deal with us, and they really don't know whether they are alive or dead." ”

"The Wei soldiers of Lizhou are not strong soldiers, the real threat is from the elite troops of the expeditionary army, you Snow Fox Clan take a short rest, and set off for the junction of Lishan and West Jinzhou two days later, and change guards with Lin Chuyu. ”

"No problem, I just want to learn about the strength of the expeditionary army. Qi Li said.

"Don't take it lightly, don't forget, when we were in Xijinzhou, you killed two Wei sons, how the thirty Wei guards surrounded you. Qin Lin reminded.

Qi Li had just won a battle, and his morale was indeed high.

But she still listened to Qin Lin's words, indeed, if Qin Lin didn't come to save her in Xijinzhou that day, she would definitely be defeated by the Wei family's escort group.

is just a guard, and the strength is already good, not to mention the elite who is specially used to attack the city.

Qin Lin: "There are only more than 500 people in your Snow Fox Clan, and the next time the Wei Clan sends troops, I'm afraid it will be 50,000 people, so it's best for you not to choose to face them head-on, and use ambushes to fight them, and if you can't beat them, you will retreat." ”

"It's impossible to withdraw, the principle of my Snow Fox Clan is to fight to the death. Qi Li's blue eyes shone with a sharp light.

Qin Lin: "You can't die now, if you lose all five hundred of you, then I won't have the strength to defend Anjing City." ”

"Hmph!" Qi Li sighed coldly: "I'll just do it, anyway, we Snow Fox people won't be defeated, don't worry." ”

"Arrogance. Qin Lin felt that Qi Li's heart was indeed too high.

A day later, the Scorching Sun Mountain City troops led by Lin Chuyu returned to Anjing City.

Compared with the Snow Fox Clan's triumphant return, Lin Chuyu was a lot embarrassed.

More than 200 disciples, accounting for half of the injury rate.

Some of them were seriously injured and had lost their combat effectiveness.

When such an army, which had obviously experienced a great battle, walked through the streets of Anjing City, the people could not help but panic, and the soldiers defending the city were even more frightened when they saw this.

"What's the matter, each of them is a master of the Martial Master Realm, how could they be so seriously injured?"

"Who the hell are they fighting with?"

"The strength of the other party seems to be very strong, otherwise, how can we beat our merchant team..."

The soldiers began to panic.

Du Kuan saw Lin Chuyu enter the city, and his eyes subconsciously looked outside the city.

He was worried about his enemies.

Just as the soldiers guessed, if they could cripple more than 200 martial arts realm masters of the Shang Wu team, how terrible would that opponent be! If such a terrible opponent came to attack the city, how could Anjing City be able to defend it.

"I really don't know who the Qin City Lord is fighting with!" Du Kuan said secretly.

Lin Chuyu's arm was injured and wrapped in a white cloth.

Qin Lin stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched her come on horseback, and when he saw her dismounting, he stepped forward to help: "It's hard work." ”

"Hey, it's abominable. Lin Chuyu complained.

Chunfen arranged for the seriously injured disciples to be treated, and the doctors of the whole city were invited to Zheng of the Qin Mansion

"Look, what is the elite strength of the Wei Clan?" Qin Lin asked.

Lin Chuyu raised his head and looked at the fluttering clouds, and then showed a fierce appearance of gritting his teeth.

"They're not easy to deal with. "She.

"Very strong?"

"The strength of the individual soldiers is average, but the number of people is too large, and we killed more than 10,000 troops before we killed them all. Lin Chu said.

"You killed them all?"

"If you don't kill them, you can't do it, they're like crazy people, as soon as we stop, they fight back, and only by killing them all can we get out. Lin Chu said.

Qin Lin sighed: "It seems that those who can be included in the elite by the Wei clan are not ordinary warriors. ”

"I passed through Huashan City on my way back to the city, and the Wei Pavilion Lord secretly sent someone to bring me a letter, which was for you. Lin Chuyu took out the letter paper from his arms.

Qin Lin frowned: "She sent me a letter a few days ago, and now she asked you to bring a letter to me......"

"Pavilion Lord Wei must also be worried about our situation. Lin Chu said.

Qin Lin nodded, and after receiving the letter, he didn't say much, only let Lin Chuyu go back to the courtyard first to rest.

Compared to Qin Lin at the moment, Wei Ying is indeed the more anxious one.

She was helping Qin Lin think about a plan to deal with the Wei family every day.

At this time, the letter brought by Lin Chuyu was full of words, and the root of what was mentioned in it was to let Qin Lin take a delaying strategy.

Simply, she thought that Qin Lin's strength at this time could not resist the real elite of the Wei clan, so she should adopt a check-and-balance method to ease the current battle situation, and then unify Lizhou as soon as possible and concentrate Lizhou's forces to have a chance to fight against the Wei corps.

After reading the letter, Qin Lin sketched a plan in his heart.

Checks and balances are key.

It's just that, how to check and balance?

At nightfall, he called all the main members of the Qin Mansion to the front hall.

"Wei Ying's right. Qin Lin sat on the right seat and spoke: "Right now, we can't fight with the Wei Clan, we can't afford to consume, whether it's the Snow Fox Clan or the Scorching Sun Mountain City, we can't lose anyone." ”

"There is no such thing as undead in war. Qi Li said.

Lin Chuyu: "At the moment, we have not lost yet, but the next battle ...... It's hard to guarantee that we won't lose, so Qin Lin, you have to be conscious. ”

They thought that Qin Lin was afraid of war.

Qin Lin said: "Of course I know that we will have losses in the future, and it may be that we have to compensate all the troops that can fight now, but maybe there is a way to avoid war." ”

"What else can be done, the Wei clan must be gathering a large army now, and when they send troops again, we must be ready to fight a hard battle. Lin Chu said.

Qin Lin thought for a moment and said, "In Wei Ying's letter to me, the word 'check and balance' was emphatically mentioned, and I think that the Wei family should indeed be checked and balanced. ”

"How do we check and balance? How do we have the capital to check and balance the Wei clan now?" Lin Chu was puzzled.

Qin Lin said: "In terms of clan power, the new Qin clan has just started, and the Wei clan is already a royal family that rules hundreds of you in the Western Continent, so there is no check and balance between the clans, but ...... I can check and balance Wei Shen. ”

When these words came out, Zhong Rao's thoughts suddenly came to his senses.

They understood the meaning of Qin Lin's words.

Qin Lin continued: "I'm going to West Jinzhou, I have to have a good talk with Wei Shen and delay the time. ”

"Are you going to kill Wei Shen?" asked Lin Chu in a trembling voice.

As long as the head of the Wei clan is destroyed, otherwise, how can he delay the time? Therefore, Lin Chuyu's first thought was that Qin Lin wanted to kill Wei Shen.

Qin Lin did not deny it, he: "This is the worst result, in short, I have to go to West Jinzhou first." ”

"Master, I'll go with you. Qi Li stood up.

Qin Lin nodded: "Yes, Qi Li will go with me, and the rest of the people will divide their own work." ”

Subsequently, Qin Lin made a basic division of labor deployment.

The troops of the Snow Fox Clan and Scorching Sun Mountain City were all handed over to Lin Chuyu, which was equivalent to handing over the military power to Lin Chuyu, including the city defense corps of Anjing City, which was also managed by Lin Chuyu.

Chunfen temporarily replaced Qin Lin, managing the operation of the entire palace and supervising the cultivation of disciples.

Aji and Ado assist Chunfen.

The Sakura brothers and sisters naturally continued to be responsible for studying the mystery of the formation.

In the middle of the night, Qin Lin burned the two letters sent by Wei Ying in front of the candle flame.

He could imagine Wei Ying's mood.

She asked Qin Lin to check and balance the Wei clan, and the only direction of the balance was Wei Shen.

Qin Lin's Martial Sect Realm can counterbalance Wei Shen's Martial King Realm, but the result of the balance is very likely to cut off Wei Shen's life.

Because the Wei clan has been arrogant in the Western Continent for too long.

They are not afraid of any war, even if they lose the first battle and lose to Qin Lin now, they will not stop crusading against Qin Lin.

Unless, Wei Shen is dead.

In other words, as long as the Wei clan felt the heavy cost of defeat, they would become afraid and reconsider whether to crusade against Qin Lin.

When Wei Ying wrote the word "checks and balances" to Qin Lin, she must have thought of the worst result, but she still wrote "checks and balances".

Qin Lin could guess Wei Ying's heart, but he couldn't really feel the pain in her heart.

Perhaps, she did regard herself as an outsider, or an ordinary military advisor, in short, she did not think of herself as a member of the Wei clan.

"Wei Ying, Wei Ying......" Qin Lin muttered as he looked at the moonlight hidden behind the black clouds.
