Ling Yan smiled bitterly.

You Heng frowned slightly: "Isn't it true that Brother Xian really wants to help General Ling?" ”

Ling Yan's face was a little embarrassed: "Brother You, since General Ling has entrusted me with the important task of guarding the city, no matter what, I can't let him down." Han Fu in the north, originally allied with General Ling, is now treacherous, and may lead troops to attack at any time, if he unites with the Yellow Turban Thief Army to attack me, and Liu Dai in the west also leads troops to help, I am afraid that the city will not be protected...... I didn't intend to help General Ling, but I didn't want to lose the city while I was defending it. ”

You Heng listened and nodded slowly.

Ling Yan lowered his voice: "Moreover, I don't have any soldiers and horses in my hands now, if I get Han Fu's troops, whether it is General Ling or not, as long as I treat them well, they will obey my orders, so ......."

You Heng immediately had a happy face: "Brother Xian, there is no need to say anything, I understand!" I see, blame me for being stupid, but I don't know. ”

Ling Yan smiled and said, "I'll only talk to my eldest brother about this." ”

You Heng nodded vigorously: "Brother Xian, don't worry." ”

At this time, a soldier came in: "General Yuyan, General Kuai Liang asks to see." ”

"Okay, please come in." Ling Yan said to the soldiers.

"Brother Xian, I will retire." You give it up.

"Hmm,"

Not long after You Heng left, Kuai Liang came in: "General Yan." ”

Ling Yan beckoned Kuai Liang to sit down: "I don't know why General Kuai is looking for me?" ”

Kuai Liang arched his hand and said: "There is a sentence that Fang Cai did not say in front of the generals, now please ask General Yan to forgive me for speaking out." ”

"General Kuai, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

Kuai Liang said: "Yuan Shao sent an envoy to discuss the matter of the alliance sending troops, the matter is very important, and Liang thinks it is better to inform General Ling first." ”

Ling Yan nodded and said, "I thought the same way, but Taishan City, where General Ling is located, is far away, if you send someone to report and reply back and forth, it will be delayed for a few days, I am afraid that I will miss the fighter." ”

Kuai Liang thought for a while and said, "Then report to General Lu." ”

Ling Yan smiled: "If you inform General Lu, he will definitely not agree." ”

Kuai Liang was stunned: "In that case, why does the general still ......?"

Ling Yan said: "Because this is a good opportunity, if you can break the city, of course it is the best, if you can't break the city, there is no loss, in the future, Han Fu is afraid of Yuan Shao's threat, and he may not dare to send troops to take revenge, even if he comes to attack, the city is located in the middle of nowhere, and the soldiers are strong, but he is not afraid...... As for General Ling's side, I will explain it to him when he returns. ”

Kuai Liang pondered for a moment, but still felt unsafe: "Since the general sees the pros and cons clearly, you might as well inform General Lu first." ”

Ling Yan thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed, "Okay...... Then please ask General Kuai to write a letter to General Lu, explain the original situation, and Chen will talk about the benefits. ”

"Yes." Kuai Liang arched his hand, "Na Liang retreated." ”

"Okay."

After Kuai Liang left, Ling Yan took out the strange stone, and was just about to cultivate his internal qi for a while, when he suddenly remembered something, so he hurriedly picked up the strange stone and ran out of the room.

Ling Yan came to the blacksmith shop in the bazaar and took the custom-made weapon.

The blacksmith handed the weapon that had been made to Ling Yan, and when Ling Yan saw it, he was full of joy, and he did exactly what he asked.

Ling Yan returned to the General's Mansion with the weapon, and after entering the room, he carefully examined the weapon in his hand.

This weapon is not large, nor too heavy, it looks like a short knife, except for the hilt, the length is only more than forty centimeters, but the back of the knife is very wide. What is unusual is that at the top of the back of one of the knives, a small section is raised, like a slot, and the notch is buckled inward.

Ling Yan couldn't put it down for a while, then took the strange stone out of his pocket and stuffed it into the groove. It was just enough to be stuffed in, and because the notch was inward, it was not easy for the strange stone to fall out again after it was stuffed in.

Ling Yan looked at this short knife embedded with strange stones, and his heart was very nervous. He held the short knife tightly, and secretly transported his internal strength to the hand holding the knife.

Almost at the same time, Ling Yan saw a white mist of light, which "flowed" towards the handle of the knife with the back of the knife, and then entered his hand.

Ling Yan looked very excited, and hurriedly raised his knife to slash at the corner of the table, only to see that before the back of the knife touched the corner of the table, a small piece of wood in the corner of the table was chopped down by the white mist.

"It worked!" Ling Yan couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"General Yan!" When a soldier heard the sound, he thought that something had happened to Ling Yan, so he hurriedly came in.

"It's okay, it's okay," Ling Yan waved his hand excitedly, "Oh, that's right!" Please come over, General! ”

"Yes!" The soldier went out suspiciously.

Ling Yan collected his internal qi and gently stroked the short knife, his eyes were full of love, and he said in his heart: Although this knife is not good-looking, it is practical!

After a while, You Heng hurriedly walked in.

"Big brother, look!" When Ling Yan saw You Heng coming in, he hurriedly raised the short knife,

"Brother Xian, this is ......" You Heng looked confused.

Ling Yan smiled, but didn't answer You Heng's question, just motioned for You Heng to look towards the knife.

You Heng stared at the knife in Ling Yan's hand in bewilderment.

Soon, a layer of white mist slowly appeared on the body of the knife, just like the scene just now.

You Heng opened his mouth in surprise.

Ling Yan collected his internal qi and said to You Heng excitedly, "Brother You, did you see it?" ”

"Uh...... See. You Heng came back to his senses from surprise and looked at Ling Yan in disbelief, "Brother Xian, how did you do it?" ”

Ling Yan smiled and handed the knife to You Heng, who saw the strange stone embedded in the back of the knife at a glance.

"This ......" You Heng has never seen a knife of this style.

Ling Yan smiled and said, "Brother You, as long as this is the case, there will be internal qi on my weapon!" ”

You Heng thought for a long time before he reacted, and said to Ling Yan with a smile: "Brother Xian is really smart! It turns out that there is such a mystery! ”

Ling Yan smiled happily: "Although the internal qi on my knife is not transmitted from the body, I want to transmit it from the body, and it should be similar to the transmission from the knife to the body." ”

You Heng thought for a moment and looked at Ling Yan: "But...... Does this really work? ”

Ling Yan picked up the piece of wood that had been cut down just now and brought it to You Heng: "Brother You, this is what you cut with it just now...... I looked closely, and it was cut off with the internal qi on the knife. ”

After You Heng took a closer look at the piece of wood, he smiled at Ling Yan and said, "Brother Xian is really a careful person, he can think of such a trick." ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Although this knife is not long, it is much more convenient than my fist. ”

You Heng asked, "Brother Xian, why don't you make a long knife?" ”

Ling Yan was a little embarrassed: "Hehe...... If it's too heavy, I won't be able to lift it. ”

"Oh," you Heng said with a smile, "but this knife is enough for the average enemy...... It's better than not having a weapon in your hand. ”

"Yes," Ling Yan nodded hurriedly, "Before leading the troops to fight, I always felt uncomfortable when I had empty hands, but now I also have my own weapons!" ”

You Heng looked at the short knife: "Brother Xian, do you know how to use a knife?" ”

Ling Yan said: "No...... Use it as a fist! ”

Both laughed.

"Brother Xian, even if you have a knife, you need to be cautious, I just saw the light on your knife, it is not very strong." Thou hast said.

Ling Yan was a little depressed: "Yes, I just don't understand, why are Jiang Yiqu and Zhang Mancheng those generals so strong in their weapons?" ”

You Heng was also very confused: "I feel that judging from the internal qi on their weapons, it seems that all the internal qi in their bodies has been put on it. ”

Ling Yan nodded, and suddenly smiled: "Brother You, this is my advantage!" If they transfer the internal qi in their bodies to the weapon, then their bodies will have no internal qi protection at all, which is a fatal weakness! ”

You Heng felt that what Ling Yan said made sense.

Ling Yan continued: "As for me, I am transferring the internal qi of the strange stone to my body, in this way, not only will there be internal qi on the weapon, but also the internal qi in my body will also become more and more, killing two birds with one stone!" ”

You Heng thought about it with a smile, and then said: "In this way, Brother Xian has to cultivate more, if the more internal qi you can withstand in your body, then this strange stone will pass on more internal qi to you, then ......"

"Then on this knife, there will be a more powerful internal qi!" Ling Yan said excitedly.

You Heng nodded and boasted, "Brother Xian's knowledge is really better than others. ”

Ling Yan smiled embarrassedly.

You Heng took the short knife and looked back and forth: "Hmm...... Yes, it's easy to hold. ”

"Yes......" Before Ling Yan finished speaking, a soldier came in from outside: "General Yan, there is a messenger asking to see you." ”

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment: Didn't you let that messenger go back? Why is it here again?

"Okay, I'll go right away." Ling Yan waved his hand at the soldier, and then said to You, "That messenger has come back for some reason, I'll go see him." ”

"Well, okay, then I'll go back first." You Heng put down the knife and walked out of the room with Ling Yan.

On the way to the embassy hall, Ling Yan was not thinking about why the envoy had come back, but about what to name his sword.

"Hmm...... Look at how good that Green Dragon Glaive Knife is, I have to be domineering," Ling Yan thought in his heart, "Or call it ...... Right! It's called the Moon Slasher! Ah, yes, yes! ”

When Ling Yan was complacent about giving himself such a domineering name, he unconsciously walked to the door of the hall.

"General Yan." The people in the hall stood up and arched their hands.

Ling Yan only felt that his voice was a little familiar, and he hurriedly looked over and couldn't help but be stunned.

But the one who comes is the judge.

"General Yan won't forget to be here, right?" The judge laughed.

Ling Yan also smiled and hurriedly said, "How could it be, General Judge." As he spoke, he approached the hall.

After both of them sat down, Ling Yan asked, "I don't know why General Juan is here?" ”

The judge said bluntly: "A certain person is here to be a lobbyist." ”

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "General Juan is really outspoken." ”

The judge said with a smile: "The military situation is urgent and cannot be delayed. ”

"Hmm." Ling Yan nodded, "General, please speak." ”

The judge got up and arched his hand again: "The day before yesterday, I was really helpless, please General Haihan." ”

Ling Yan knew that the trial was referring to the matter of "kidnapping" Wang Wei to threaten him, so he smiled indifferently: "The past doesn't need to be mentioned again. ”

The judge said: "The general is so young, and it is really rare to have such a weapon. ”

Ling Yan listened to these words very usefully, and said with a smile: "The trial general is too prereputable. ”

The judge said: "The general is so young, he has such a high position, presumably the general must be a reasonable and intelligent person." ”

Ling Yan smiled.

The judge then smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be good if the general could form an alliance with my lord and form lips and teeth?" ”

"Hehe......" Ling Yan smiled, and thought to himself: I have already promised the messenger sent by Yuan Shao, and I am about to join forces to fight you!

The judge pair Ling Yanxiao took advantage of it: "My lord is sitting in Jizhou City, the soldiers in the city are strong, and there are hundreds of good generals, if the general is willing to form an alliance with General Han, it will be beneficial to everyone." ”

Ling Yan said with a smile: "General Judge, once General Ling and General Han formed an alliance, but General Han betrayed his word and attacked his own alliance instead. ”

The judge said: "General Han was deceived by others before, and listened to false words, so he was wrong, if the general is willing to ally with us this time, he will never go to war and fight against the invading enemy together." ”

Ling Yan shook his head gently: "General Judge, to be honest, I really don't dare to trust General Han's backsliding anymore...... Moreover, without concealing the general's trial, I have made an alliance with Yuan Shao. ”
