Is it really not defensive?

The guards of the Praetorian Guard were deeply entangled at this time.

As they watched the army of black armor slowly approach, the fear they knew in their hearts couldn't help but grow.

In vain, they didn't have a complete trust in Qin Lin.

They doubted Qin Lin's ability to judge.

Even if they had seen Qin Lin's martial arts cultivation, the confrontation between the two armies, in addition to the combat effectiveness of the martial arts, paid more attention to the offensive and defensive strategies.

In the eyes of the Praetorian Guard, Qin Lin was just a teenager after all.

A child can really understand strategy?

The guards of the Praetorian Guard shook their heads secretly, in the end, they still couldn't completely entrust their lives to the hands of their teenage children, so subconsciously, they still clenched their weapons and put on a posture of preparing for battle.

However, at this moment, in the army of black armor, several white dots loomed.

Fifteen patrol members in white armor walked with the black armor army, but their steps were not as fast as the black armor, and they were gradually wrapped in the black armor lineup

This caused the Praetorian Guard in the territory to not notice the patrol for a while.

It wasn't until the entire black-armored army crossed the cordon that they noticed that there were their own people in it.

"Patrols, how are they with the Blackarmor Battalion?"

A voice of surprise suddenly sounded in the territory.

Immediately, everyone suddenly - could it be that the Black Armor Battalion had really come to surrender?

"Damn! this can really happen!"

"In your lifetime, you can actually see the Black Armor Battalion surrender to our Praetorian Guard? Is this the sun coming out of the west?"

"It's really strange that there are many things every year, especially this year!"

......

The atmosphere in the territory changes in an instant.

Everyone unconsciously relaxed their tense nerves and looked at the fifteen patrol members.

The faces of these players were filled with smiles of victory.

They quickened their pace at the last moment, and when they entered the territory, they were already shouting, "Welcome our brothers from the Black Armor Battalion to our camp!"

"Good!"

Jubilant voices rang out in the territory.

And after the jubilation, almost all the guards of the Praetorian Guard Regiment turned towards Qin Lin.

"Gongzi Qin, you are too godly, how did you know that the Black Armor Battalion would come to surrender?"

A white-armored guard standing in front of Qin Lin asked in surprise.

Qin Lin looked at him with white eyes: "Isn't this something that understands?"

After that, Qin Lin walked towards the black-armored army.

The guard was left with applause.

You must know that the Black Armor Battalion and the Praetorian Guard Regiment are like mortal enemies in life, no matter when and where, as long as people on both sides meet, they will inevitably roll their eyes at each other and quarrel with each other.

Now it is undoubtedly the first case of breaking the wilderness, and the Black Armor Battalion and the Praetorian Guard Regiment can actually stand on the same front.

Because the patrol brought back a thousand black armor, it seems that they have become heroes of the Praetorian Guard in an instant.

Everyone is asking how they met the Black Armor and how they surrendered to the Black Armor, and they really don't know how to be modest, beaming, and boasting.

Qin Lin came to the front of the old cow and looked the old cow up and down.

Some people are born with the temperament of a leader, and Lao Niu belongs to this category of people, so when Qin Lin saw him for the first time, he knew that he was the foreman.

At this time, the old cow's face was solemn, but his fingers inevitably trembled.

He must know that the boy standing in front of him at this time is a terrifying character who can trigger battles beyond the limits of the human race.

Being looked at by such a character really doesn't make it a good thing or a bad thing.

"Can you tell me, why did you choose to be loyal to the Pavilion Master?"

After Qin Lin finished looking at the old cow, he asked.

With this question alone, the hearts of Lao Niu and all the black-armored guards were filled with gratitude.

Because the guards of the Praetorian Guard Regiment all used the word "surrender" to describe the actions of the black armor at this time, Qin Lin used the word "allegiance".

Surrender, loser, derogatory.

Allegiance, sincerity, praise.

Although the black armor surrendered, they also had dignity, and they were really uncomfortable when they heard the Praetorian Guard group rushing to "surrender to the black armor".

But Qin Lin's sentence of "loyalty" really gave them a burst of warmth.

Lao Niu arched his hand excitedly: "Without the Kong clan, there would be no Lishan, and loyalty to the pavilion master is a matter of righteousness!"

"Beautiful!"

Qin Lin chuckled, and then asked, "Do you really think that allegiance to the Pavilion Master is a matter of righteousness?"

"Yes! My old cow is not lying, and every word is sincere. ”

Lao Niu has a resolute attitude.

Qin Lin took a deep breath, "Okay, since you're like this, then let me see how you can be loyal to the Pavilion Master!"

Finished, Qin Lin stretched out his hand and pointed to a ruined land outside the territory.

"You are encamped in this ruin, you are not allowed to enter the territory, and your duty is to fight the outpost and be the vanguard of the pavilion master...... That is, death squads!"

Qin Lin added an accent to the three words "death squad".

When the black armorers heard this, the gratitude that had just risen immediately turned into black cherry

They understood that Qin Lin was letting them be cannon fodder.

Defend before the territory, that is, on the front line of the battlefield.

At this time, if Qiao Xing sent other troops from the Black Armor Battalion to kill them, then they would be human flesh walls and live targets.

"Qin Gongzi, this is not appropriate. ”

The old cow clenched his fists faintly, and he would not allow anyone to ignore his brother's life.

Qin Lin asked rhetorically, "What's inappropriate?"

"My brothers and I are sincerely loyal to the Pavilion Master, but you let us stay outside the territory, which is clearly excluding us!"

Lao Niu did not hide his displeasure.

Qin Lin disagreed, "I can't talk about excluding you, but I really have to guard against you, and ...... In times of war, no one should try to take advantage of anyone. ”

"What do you mean by that! We're here to take advantage of you!"

The old cow was even more displeased, to be precise, he was already angry, and the voice of the words had already raised the tone.

The Praetorian Guards were still happy, but when they heard the angry voice of the old cow, they couldn't help but be quiet.

Looking at Qin Lin and Lao Niu, everyone smelled the gunpowder of contradictions.

Lao Niu continued to raise his voice: "Master Qin, don't deceive people too much, we are indeed inferior to you, so we surrendered, but it doesn't mean that we can be bullied with you!"

"Who is going to oppress you?"

Qin Lin frowned, and also raised his voice: "You don't understand what I mean, do you? Now this territory has been established by the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, whether it is weapons and equipment, food, or the fortifications that have been stationed, it is all the credit of the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard!"

“......”

When Lao Niu heard Qin Lin like this, he suddenly lost his temper and couldn't come out.

Qin Lin continued: "You haven't done anything, why do you want to enter the territory? Remember, in wartime, no one wants to take advantage of anyone, if you want weapons and food, you will go to Qiao Xing's side to rob them, and the houses you want to live in and the walls you want to defend will be built for me!"

Qin Lin made his attitude clear.

At this point, Lao Niu understood what Qin Lin meant.

That's right, the current territory area is only about 5,000 acres, which looks quite large, but in fact, it still seems narrow.

Qin Lin couldn't let a thousand black-armored guards enter the territory, he couldn't squeeze it out, and the resources were not enough to allocate.

"It turns out that this is what Qin Gongzi meant......"

Lao Niu understood what Qin Lin meant, and regretted that he was too anxious and misunderstood Qin Lin.

Qin Lin shook his head, showing an impatient expression.

Stretching out his finger, he gestured in the open space of the ruins in front of him, and said: "You will build a territory in this area, if you want wood, my giant bear can help you move trees from the mountains and forests, as for food, tonight and Ming's food will be provided by the territory, from then on, you must solve the food by yourself!"

After that, Qin Lin turned around and no longer paid attention to the old cow.

Lao Niu looked at the ruins and clearing blankly, and only after a moment did he react, and turned to the back of Qin Lin, who was already leaving.

"Yes, yes!"

Lao Niu was completely convinced.

The guards of the Praetorian Guard Regiment were all convinced by Qin Lin.

At first, they didn't think about how they would solve the problem of the distribution of weapons and food after a thousand black armors came over.

Qin Lin's arrangement is undoubtedly the most reasonable approach at the moment.

If the Blacks are not self-sufficient, their surrender will be a burden, not only will it not bring any benefit, but it may even bring down the good situation that the Janissaries are currently in.

"Qin Gongzi is indeed not simple, with him leading us, it is only a matter of time before Qiao Xing is defeated. ”

The guards of the Praetorian Guard Regiment were all in admiration at this moment.

"That's right, we must not hesitate for Gongzi Qin's orders in the future. ”

"Yes, Gongzi Qin is our commander, the name of the commander, swear to obey!"

Qin Lin returned to the third floor, and Kong Lingyu had already recovered some of his spirit.

She is indeed stubborn, as long as she has a little strength, she refuses to lie on the bed, she has to stand up.

At this time, she was standing in front of the window, and Liu was supporting her.

She had already seen the scene of Qin Lin and Lao Niu's temper, and she could faintly hear Qin Lin's words to Lao Niu.

"This Qin Lin ...... Indeed, it's pretty impressive. ”

Kong Lingyu seemed to be talking to himself.

Liu also nodded: "It's so powerful, how can there be such a powerful person." ”

"Hmph, the Pavilion Master must be more powerful than him!"

Kong Lingyu swears.

Qin Lin walked into the room, saw that the girl had already gotten up, and shook his head: "If you die, you must have died by yourself." ”

"Who are you cursing!"

The girl glanced at Qin Lin.

Qin Lin didn't say a word, and also came to the window.

He could see that the old cow in the clear space of the ruins in the distance had begun to arrange for the black-armored guards to carry the wood, and the Praetorian Guard first lent some wood to the old cow to build a camp in order to show their support for the old cow's work.

The giant bear is also human, and it is very face-saving to help Heijia dig the roots of the tree into the ground and lay a good foundation.

"You really have a hand, originally there were only more than a hundred people on our side, but now there are more than a thousand people at once. ”

Kong Lingyu was very reluctant to praise Qin Lin, but looking at the picture of the harmonious cooperation between the Praetorian Guard Regiment and the Black Armor Battalion, she couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Lin exhaled deeply: "There are more troops, but there are also more mouths for eating...... I don't know how long it will last. ”

This is a serious problem.

If you only rely on robbing the food of the Qiao Xing camp, it obviously can't last long.

In other words, as long as Qiao Xing hides the food well, the people in the territory will not be able to grab the food, and he will face the crisis of running out of food.

"We have to find a way to open up a food supply line, we must bypass Qiao Xing and go straight to Huashan City under Lishan Mountain. ”

Qin Lin thought about it.

Kong Lingyu "hummed" twice more, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked arrogant.

"Hmph, what, is there a trick?" Qin Lin asked.

"Of course there is, the master of this pavilion is a native of Lishan with pure blood, and how many secret passages on Lishan Mountain can lead to the bottom of the mountain, the master of this pavilion knows very well. ”

The girl said proudly.

Qin Lin hurriedly asked, "Where is the secret path?"

"You want to know, beg me!"

The girl seemed to have found a reason to restrain Qin Lin, and her heart couldn't help but get excited.

Who knows, Qin Lin's eyes suddenly burst into sharpness.

Raising his palm, with a "snap", Qin Lin directly gave the girl a heavy blow to the shoulder.

"Oops......"

The girl was in pain.

In fact, it was a heavy blow, and it was only very heavy compared to the girl, but Qin Lin actually didn't exert any strength at all.

After the girl screamed in pain, she angrily asked: "What are you going to do, rebel, murder, why are you beating me!"

"Nonsense, you idiot, who do I not hit you?"

Qin Lin struck the girl again, but the force was lighter.

continued: "Now who am I helping to fight, you know that there is a secret way, and let me beg you to tell me? You don't want to be the pavilion master, do you? You want to poison Qiao Xing again, right?"

"I ......"

After listening to Qin Lin, the girl herself wanted to punch herself, and she realized that Qin Lin was helping her fight.

I couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

The girl rubbed her shoulder: "You have a really bad temper, you will beat me if you joke with you." ”

"In terms of bad temper, who can compare with you. ”

Qin Lin snorted in disgust, in fact, he did have a bad temper just now.

There is no way, the current situation is too unclear, Qin Lin has not guessed what kind of forces exist behind Qiao Bai and Qiao Xing.

If it was a clear enemy, Qin Lin would have his own assessment and would know how to deal with it.

But now I don't know who the enemy is, and the situation is more troublesome.

"It's better to be cautious. ”

Qin Lin said to himself.

Then he said to Kong Lingyu: "Hurry up, where is the secret passage, our food can still support a while, but now there are a thousand more mouths, and it means that we will run out of food after tomorrow." ”

"The secret passage is under this stone building. ”

Kong Lingyu turned his face and looked at the corridor outside the door of the room.

She continued: "There is a stone statue of a guard at the end of the corridor on the first floor, remove the stone statue, and there is a long, long tunnel at the bottom that leads to the foot of the mountain behind the mountain.

"Back Mountain!"

It's Willow who speaks.

She stood aside, and for the first time she heard that there was a secret passage in the stone building, and she was surprised.

What surprised her even more was that the tunnel actually led straight to the back mountain.

She asked in surprise: "Pavilion Master, isn't Houshan a forbidden place? No, when Lishan was founded, hundreds of pioneers died in Houshan in a strange and strange way, so the younger generations of Lishan people are not allowed to go to Houshan anymore, and Houshan is frozen all year round, there is no way out at all, it is a dead end!"

"You know quite a bit. ”

Kong Lingyu looked at Liu the same.

It is not surprising that the strange rumor about the back mountain has always been the main topic of conversation among Lishan people after dinner, so there are many versions in circulation.

Liu was also a little flustered at this time, and she responded: "Everyone is rumored that there are ghosts in the back mountain, so I, too, listened to some curiously." ”

"What a ghost, that's all scare, when the pavilion master was in the back mountains, he went to the back mountains with his brother, and there was nothing anywhere, only glaciers. ”

Kong Lingyu understated.

Liu Meng: "Yes, it's very strange to have glaciers, our Lishan Mountain is like spring all year round, but the back mountain is frozen all year round, isn't it strange?"

"It's just a geomorphological characteristic. ”

The girl seems to know everything, and she can explain everything when she opens her mouth.

In fact, all her cognition of Houshan comes from her father and brother.

Qin Lin didn't care about any ghosts at this time, anyway, the ghosts blocked and killed the ghosts, and the demons blocked and killed the demons, what he cared about was what Liu just said - the back mountain is a frozen dead end.

"Is there a way out?" Qin Lin asked.

"Yes, there is a very narrow and narrow road, you can detour to the front mountain, and then go out from the front mountain to Huashan City. ”

The girl is very determined.

She also said: "This secret passage has always been known only to the pavilion master's direct relatives, so Qiao Xing and they will definitely not know." ”

"Okay, I'll explore the way. ”

Qin Lin turned around and walked towards the gate.

"I'll go too. ”

Kong Lingyu followed closely.

Qin Lin objected: "Your energy hasn't fully recovered yet, don't wander around." ”

"Hmph...... The inside of the dark passage is intricate, like a labyrinth, you will definitely not be able to get out without the master of the pavilion to lead the way, and when the time comes, you will starve to death in it, and the master of the pavilion will not care about you. ”

Kong Lingyu put on a posture of "you beg me to lead the way".

Qin Lin thought for a moment.

Indeed, this secret passage leads directly from the stone building to the foot of the mountain, in other words, if someone finds this secret passage at the foot of the mountain, they can go directly to the stone tower of the pavilion master.

Therefore, this secret passage cannot go straight, it must be like a maze to prevent outsiders from easily breaking in.

Thinking so, Qin Lin looked at Kong Lingyu.

Judging from the breath, Kong Lingyu's physical energy has indeed not fully recovered, but her poison has been decomposed, and it is basically fine.

"Okay, you are allowed to come with me, but don't mess with me. ”

Qin Lin was not angry.

The girl was still displeased, and turned her head: "If you want the pavilion master to go with you, then you can beg the pavilion master!"

"Do you want to be beaten again?" Qin Lin deliberately raised his palm to scare her.

Kong Lingyu subconsciously ducked, and his hand was still rubbing his shoulder that had just been hurt.

"Hurry up. ”

Qin Lin waved his hand.

The two of them walked up the stairs one after the other, and after reaching the corridor on the first floor, the two Rao looked at the statue of the guard at the end of the corridor at the same time.

"It's from there, but the statue is very heavy, and my brother had a lot of trouble moving it away. "Maiden.

Qin Lin let out an "oh", stepped forward, stretched out his hand and easily moved the statue away.

Seeing this, the girl was stunned for a moment.

I have to sigh that there is indeed an essential gap between ordinary people and martial arts cultivators.

As the statue was pushed away, the floor tiles were exposed.

The floor tiles are ordinary and don't look special.

"Is there any mystery?" Qin Lin asked the girl with a sideways face.

"Of course. ”

She half-crouched down, her slender fingers trying to press and touch the floor tiles.

"This is it. ”

The girl pressed a few harder, and when she pressed the stone brick, she heard two "da-da" sounds.

Qin Lin noticed that the originally closed stone bricks were protruding with a thin crack at this time.

"It's quite secretive. ”

Qin Lin smiled, stretched out his hand and lifted it up along the protruding gap, and the narrow entrance of the dark passage appeared in front of him.
