In the past half a month, Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao began to guard the prince's mansion and patrol and stand guard. Zhenlin's heart is becoming more and more anxious and depressed, there is no clue about the enemy, and he is helpless to find out some news from the palace.

When night falls, the moon shines like water, the lights in the palace are still bright, and the streets in the city are still full of tourists, laughter, and the sound of selling continues.

Zu Zhenlin and Lin Yuan stood guard, and Zhenlin happened to stand in the shadow of the building, as if he did not belong to this palace.

"Captain Wu, have you heard? Great Yan is about to go to war with us. Lin Yuan chatted.

"Really, do they dare to fight?" Zu Zhenlin replied.

"In the past, it was a small fight, although most of us won it, but it is estimated that they are not convinced, thinking that they may win if they start a national war. If you want me to say, let's dream of the damn Spring and Autumn Festival, we will definitely destroy them this time. What do you think, Captain Wu?" Lin Yuan asked.

Zu Zhenlin's heart moved, and he said: "It's not good, I haven't been in Yan for a long time, and I don't know the two countries. But doesn't it mean that as long as the truth of the massacre is found out, it will be fine? Could it be that it has already been found out, and it was our people who did it?"

"Find out what, I think it's an excuse made by Da Yan's gang of people who want to fight. Lin Yuan was not angry.

"Don't use the people of a town as an excuse, if the truth is known, how can you still stand in the world? No one should be stupid enough to find such an excuse, right?" Zu Zhenlin said suspiciously.

"Then Captain Wu thinks it was our people who did it?" Lin Yuan asked.

Zu Zhenlin was vigilant, and suddenly felt that the other party was tricking his words, and said carefully: "Isn't it that it hasn't been found out yet? No one can say for sure, maybe after the final investigation, it will be unexpected? But how do you know so clearly about this matter?"

Lin Yuan said vaguely: "Ah, isn't this all about chatting with others? However, Commander Wu is really lucky, his ability is so great, he has encountered such a big war when he first joined the army, he must have continued military achievements in the future, and he will be on the rise. ”

Zu Zhenlin was not interested in Lin Yuan's compliments, thinking that if the two countries really fought, then who would care about the truth of the massacre at that time, I am afraid that it would sink into the sea and there would be no way to find out.

Lin Yuan saw that Zhen Lin was worried, "What's the matter, is Captain Wu worried that we will be defeated?"

Zu Zhenlin hurriedly denied, "Of course not, I'm just worried that if the two big countries go to war, even if we win in the end, I'm afraid it won't be easy, will other countries take advantage of the situation and make a profit? There is also the truth that the people of a town were slaughtered, and as the war begins, it will disappear forever, which is unfair to them." ”

When Zhenlin talked about the massacre, he couldn't help but reveal his true feelings, and his worry about not being able to find the truth was fully revealed.

Lin Yuan looked at Zhenlin and praised: "It's still Commander Wu who thinks far-reachingly, a soldier like me only knows how to fight." In the future, the commander will definitely become a general. ”

Zu Zhenlin smiled.

Although it is mid-autumn, the palace garden is still full of flowers, full of greenery, and autumn is especially better than spring.

"What, have you found out?" Zhao Ting's voice came.

"Miss Hui, I can't be sure yet, but eight or nine are not far from ten, I'm afraid they are here to track down the truth about the death of the people in Dayan Town. Someone replied.

"That's right. Then you go back. By the way, you still can't relax, you know?"

"Understood. ”

Zhao Ting stood in the corridor, looking at the reflection in the lake, stunned, a little tired in her heart, suddenly smiled like a flower, and muttered: "Who in this world is not tired when he lives?

Seeing his own figure, he sprinkled a handful of fish food, "It would be better to be whiter." ”

Carp crowd the lake and compete for food.

"It's better for you, as long as you have something to eat. After Zhao Ting finished speaking, she laughed, "Zifei fish, you know the joy of fish." ”

The border report found suspicious banditry activities, they are not far from the border, and may be related to the massacre of the town. Zhao Ting asked for help, and King Yan didn't stop her. Just let her bring more people and pay attention to safety. Zhao Ting led 400 people to set off this time.

The weather was clear, the sun was mild, and a few white clouds were floating. However, the leaves of the trees withered and yellowed, and the autumn wind blew, and a few pieces flew away from the branches and fell to the ground. The grass of the wilderness was also taken away by the autumn wind, leaving a dry body, which needed to lie dormant for a winter and then be awakened by the spring breeze.

The escort marched in order, with a calm step, and no one in their hearts was their opponent, and even if there were, it was only a death on the battlefield.

"Brother Zu, Brother Li, are you still adapting to the life of the army?" Zhao Ting said with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, we are doing well. Zu Zhenlin replied.

Li Cao echoed on the side.

"That's good, there will be more rules in the army, stricter, but if you get used to it, there will be nothing. Zhao Ting said.

"It's really like the eldest lady said. Zu Zhenlin responded.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, you said that you came from Warcraft Town, I heard that there are abundant products there, and the Warcraft on the Warcraft Mountain Range contain magic crystals, and you can refine pills when you take them out. Moreover, the mountain is full of exotic flowers and plants, and if you are lucky enough to pick them, eating them can make your strength increase by leaps and bounds. Is it true?" Zhao Ting said curiously.

"It's true, but magic crystals and strange flowers and plants are not so easy to obtain, the Demon Beast Mountain Range is full of dangers, those Demon Beasts have rough skin and thick flesh, and their strength is strong, and it is not a good thing to encounter them, and they may lose their lives. Of course, the most dangerous thing is not those demonic beasts that have no brains, but people, who can do anything for the sake of profit, killing people like drinking water and eating, and I don't know when they will stab them in the back. ”

Zu Zhenlin remembered the experience of the town and felt it.

"In this way, no wonder you left, by the way, when you came, did you pass through the Great Yan Dynasty, and did you hear anything about the slaughter of the people of a town overnight, is there any saying over there?"

Zhenlin and Li Cao glanced at each other, and then said, "We just heard that there was a town that was all killed overnight, and they all said that Yan Guo did it, and they were very angry. I don't know anything else. Didn't you say that the prince was investigating? Hasn't he found out who did it?"

Zhao Ting didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "It's really strange, I have checked the army and weapons depots of the four border states, but there is nothing suspicious at all. ”

Zu Zhenlin didn't have any clues, he didn't know how to investigate, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind, "Alas, eldest miss, have you checked that arsenal in the palace?"

Zhao Ting felt amused, "What are you talking about, that arsenal can only be collected from my father or me......"

The words paused, and the mouth muttered, "Impossible, right?"

"Someone. ”

Someone stepped forward, "Miss, what are your orders?"

Zhao Ting whispered: "You find two reliable people, go back to my father, just say what I said, and let him check the armory in the palace." ”

"Yes. ”

Zhao Ting put her mind at ease, "Brother Zu, you didn't really come to join the army, did you?"

The eldest lady laughed. ”

Not far from the border pass, a few bare hills, desolate and bleak, and the stockade stationed on the top of the mountain is easy to find. The vanguard began to climb the mountain, and Zhao Lin took the lead, holding a spear. Zu Zhenlin and the others followed closely behind, holding the light crossbow tightly.

The village was quiet and silent, making people suspect that the bandits in the stockade had already smelled the wind and fled from here. Just as Zhenlin and the others were approaching the gate of the village, suddenly more than two dozen bandits rushed out, holding hard bows, shooting sharp arrows, and groaning continuously.

Zhao Lin emitted cyan light all around him, dancing his spear, sweeping away the flying arrows, and Zu Zhenlin and other cultivators also stepped forward to help, resisting the sharp arrows, so as not to hurt their companions.

After a rain of arrows, more than two dozen robbers actually took the initiative to rush towards Zhenlin them, brandishing sharp knives and sharp blades, and screaming in their mouths, like a pack of hungry wolves.

"Shoot. Zhao Lin shouted.

The soldiers fired their crossbow arrows in their hands, then drew their sabers and prepared for a hand-to-hand engagement.

The vanguard of fifty people, shot crossbow arrows, directly knocked down half of the bandits. A few rays of light lit up among the remaining bandits, heading straight at Zhao Lin and Zu Zhenlin.

Unexpectedly, there were so many cultivators among the bandits this time, Zhao Lin reminded loudly, "Everyone be careful. ”

Rushing towards Zhao Lin was an old man of fifty or sixty years old, with a gray beard, thinning hair, and his whole body exuding a scorching spiritual energy.

The light on Zhao Lin's body was even worse, and the head of the spear was as dazzling as the sun. The blue and red colors collided, and there was a bang, and both of them couldn't help but retreat, but Zhao Lin took the lead in standing up, and immediately rushed over, shaking the spear, and the guns were full of light, although it was formed by aura, it was sharp.

The old man roared angrily, his qi was strong, the aura around his body was boiling, and he took out another palm, the palm print was huge, the same height as an adult, and he stopped in front of him, blocking the gun. The bell rang, and the guns hit the giant palm prints, and they dissipated one after another, but the palm prints also melted quickly.

Zhao Lin's spear was like a dragon, and it was dotted on the palm print, causing the already weak palm print to fall apart, and it was further pointed at the old man's chest. Seeing this, the old man's face changed slightly, but he was calm and quickly sideways to avoid it. Zhao Lin was unforgiving, the body of the gun swept, and the momentum sank, and he was about to beat the old man to the point where his bones were broken.

The old man kept slapping his palm, delaying the attack, and then flew back, the tip of the gun slashed against his stomach, his clothes were torn, and a blood stain slowly flowed out of his stomach.

The aura in Zhao Lin's body flowed, and the tip of the spear shone again, flying out three cyan lines, like ropes, tied to the old man. Because the distance was too close, it was too late to dodge, his legs were tied, and the old man's face changed greatly, but the trapped beast was still fighting, and he still didn't tie his hands, and the whole body was full of fire and spiritual energy, just like a real burning flame, resisting the last spiritual energy rope to tie his upper body.

Zhao Lin deliberately captured him alive, put away his spear, and raised his palm again, and the wind roared angrily. The old man couldn't dodge, and he was dealing with the aura rope again. The sudden palm directly pierced his protective aura, the old man's inner house was injured, and the aura in his body instantly stagnated, and the aura rope tied up his upper body.
