Sure enough, as Miss Xiwei expected, three days after the killing of the princes of Guangling County, Zheng Guo gathered an army of 100,000 to display the border, and a war between the two countries was about to break out.

But this has nothing to do with Ling Xuan, he is checking the weapons in the Splendid Villa, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, the correctness of this sentence, he now has a deep understanding, but in three days, three thousand horizontal knives, six thousand obstacle knives, all of them have been engraved with rune arrays, of course, a lot of money is also scattered out.

Ling Xuan was in the arsenal of the Splendid Villa, and he casually pulled out a horizontal knife, the cold light of the blade flickered, making people involuntarily feel a slight chill in their backs.

"The forging method provided by His Highness is really powerful, before the inscription of the rune array, these weapons were already not weaker than the star-level weapons, and now that the rune array is inscribed, it has reached the peak of the star. ”

Li Lie looked at the horizontal knife in Ling Xuan's hand from the side, it was a look of pride, although these weapons were all forged by themselves, when they were sent by His Majesty to assist King Xuan, those people also laughed at themselves, I am afraid that it will take more than ten years to get ahead.

But now, not only have three thousand star peak weapons been forged, but also new forging methods have been mastered, thinking of this, Li Lie couldn't help but say excitedly.

"Your Highness, as long as these weapons are used more on the battlefield, it is not impossible to reach the moon level one day. ”

Ling Xuan nodded. He was also very satisfied with these weapons, these were the backing for him to live better in this world, as for the moon level and star rating, he had seen it in the book.

Hundreds of soldiers in the world, whether it is a sword or a knife, all weapons are divided into three levels, namely the day level, the month level, the star level, the lowest star level, and the highest daily level.

As long as the rune array is inscribed by the Heavenly Dao Divine Master, it can become a star-level weapon, and the moon-level weapon must have the same intention as the master, only the person who has mastered the [meaning] can exert the strongest power of the moon-level weapon, and the day-level is a weapon derived from the sword spirit, such a weapon, the entire world does not exceed fifty.

Even the god level above the Japanese level, in the entire 100,000 years of the world, there were only three, namely the [Shenghua Sword], the [Chixiao Sword], and the [Chengying Sword].

It's just that the Shenghua Sword is divided into three, and the Chengying Sword was destroyed by the Divine Ancestor, and now in the world, there is only the Chixiao Sword, a god-level weapon, so now all countries only regard the third level of the sun, moon and star as the standard for judging weapons.

"Lilie, you did a good job, I'm satisfied. Ling Xuan said with a smile, obviously very satisfied with these weapons, and then changed his words and said in a cold voice, "It is worthy of being the chief forging master of [Obsidian]." ”

"Of course, when it comes to forging weapons, there are not many people in the world who surpass me. Li Lie looked proud, but when he heard Ling Xuan's next words, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a trembling voice. "Your Highness, you... You know it all. ”

"What do you think?" Ling Xuan asked rhetorically, his fierce gaze fixed on Lilie.

"Your Highness. Li Lie knelt on the ground, his voice loud, "When my subordinates left from [Obsidian] and entered the Jinyi Guard, since then, my subordinates are only one of the eight leaders of the Jinyi Guard, and they will never betray His Highness." ”

"Get up. Ling Xuan stretched out his hand to help Li Lie up from the ground, patted away the dust on his body, and said lightly, "Everyone has their own unknown past and secrets, this king doesn't blame you, next, this king wants you to make an ordnance, called a repeater." ”

Ling Xuan himself is not good at forging weapons and manufacturing ordnance, but Lilie is different, once the chief forging master of Obsidian, if he wants to forge weapons and ordnance in the future, I am afraid that it will fall into his hands.

But those weapons and ordnance will involve some of his own secrets, and he doesn't want Lilie to ask too much, so now he naturally has to beat it up.

"What is that? Is it a new type of crossbow developed by Obsidian?"

Li Lie was puzzled, he used to be the chief forging master of Obsidian, and he knew all kinds of ordnance well, could it be that he hadn't been in Obsidian all these years, and a new kind of ordnance had appeared there?

"It's a new type of crossbow arrow, but it wasn't developed by Obsidian, it was thought up by the king when he was too bored in his spare time. ”

Ling Xuan said calmly, he admired the thickness of his face more and more, and he described the results of other people's hard work as his own boring work, and he was still blushing and panting.

"This is the drawing of the repeater, you can see how sure you can make it. ”

Saying that, Ling Xuan took out a thick pile of drawings from the Qiankun bag, which was a diagram of each part of the repeater, Ling Xuan's painting level had been continuously improved over the years, so those parts were painted in great detail and realistically.

Li Lie took the drawings handed over by Ling Xuan, he had heard that it was Ling Xuan's boring work, so he didn't have much hope for this "repeater", but after he glanced at it twice, he looked at it carefully, who knew that the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

"Your Highness, if you can equip this kind of repeater to the army, then the military strength of my Ling Kingdom will be greatly improved. Seeing the end, Lilie couldn't help but say loudly, with a look of excitement.

"Give it to the army?" Ling Xuan frowned and said casually, "Let's wait later!"

Although the production of this kind of repeater crossbow is complicated, there is no secret measure, and the army is full of children of the family, if they get it and sell it to other countries, it is equivalent to not helping Ling Guo in any way.

"Your Highness is right, now is indeed not the time to hand over to the army. Li Lie also calmed down at this time, thinking of Ling Xuan's worries, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will definitely find a way to develop a repeater's secrecy measures." ”

"This king believes in you. ”

Saying that, Ling Xuan wanted to pat Lilie's shoulder, but he was only twelve years old, and compared to Lilie's height among the eight commanders, he was still too low, and he had no choice but to give up in the end.

"In the future, the crossbow will also be used as the standard weapon of the Jinyi Guard"

Ling Xuan said in a low voice, leaving the armory in despair, he was a little complaining about his height, and he wanted to pat his shoulder to show support, but it was difficult to do it.

"What's wrong with your Highness, I shouldn't have offended him, right?"

Leaving alone, Lilie looked confused, but he was also only interested in things within his duties, and since he couldn't figure it out, fortunately, he didn't want to, so he went back to his room and concentrated on how to add a protective measure to the repeater.

......

"The patrols of the city guards have been going on for three days, and if they continue like this, it will only make the imperial capital even more panicked. ”

Ling Xuan looked through the window of the carriage as the city guards came and went on the street, but fortunately the assassins did not assassinate the court officials again. The imperial capital doesn't seem so chaotic, but it can't stand some people making waves.

"Maybe it's time to let those people see some blood. ”

Ling Xuan said indifferently, murderous intent rising in his eyes, and at the same time ordered Cao Huachun, who was driving, to go to the city guard camp.

The city guard army, responsible for the security of the imperial capital, is one of the two armies of the imperial capital, the city guard army camp is located in the southern city of the imperial capital, the south city is the settlement of the five great families in the imperial capital, and the city guard army camp is located in the south city, which is also to deter the five great families.

Of course, there is also a premise for deterrence, that is, the commander of the city guard army is a person loyal to the royal family, otherwise, the city guard army may become the private soldiers of the five major families in the imperial capital, and it is also an important bargaining chip to threaten the royal family.

"The commander of the city guard army and the Yin of the Shuncheon Mansion have always been held by people from the imperial forces, and I will definitely not let this convention be broken. ”

Ling Xuan secretly made up her mind on the carriage, Yu Han felt strange on the side, I don't know why, she felt that her own prince Zhou's momentum was much stronger, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Who is coming? This is the camp of the city guards, and there are no idle people. The sergeant of the city guard, who was guarding the gate of the camp, shouted loudly.

When Ling Xuan went to the Splendid Villa today, in order not to attract attention, the royal mark on the carriage was ordered to be removed by Ling Xuan, so although the carriage was gorgeous, it could not enter the city guard camp yet, and it was not surprising that the sergeant guarding the door stopped the carriage.

"This is the carriage of His Royal Highness King Xuan, His Royal Highness came down to see Zhao Fei as the leader. ”

Cao Huachun took out the token representing Ling Xuan, and after the gate sergeant checked it, he let the carriage enter the camp.

The carriage went straight to the City Guard Mansion, and Ling Xuan didn't get off the carriage on the way, so he felt that the morale of the City Guards was a little low, but it was not surprising to think about it, if the City Guards fell into the hands of the family, then their lives would probably be greatly affected.

After getting out of the carriage, Ling Xuan looked at the big drum in front of the city guard's mansion and gave a cold order to the sergeant in front of the mansion.

"Drum beating!"

However, the sergeants in front of the mansion only glanced at each other and did not follow Ling Xuan's orders.

Ling Xuan saw that the sergeant in front of the military mansion did not move, and said to Cao Huachun behind him, "Huachun, you go and beat the drum!"

Those sergeants saw Cao Huachun walking towards the big drum and wanted to step forward to stop him, but as soon as he stepped out, he found that he couldn't move, and they all looked at Cao Huachun in shock, not understanding how this white-faced and beardless young man could have such a high level of cultivation.

"Wait, Grandpa Cao, you can't beat the drum!"

Zhao Fei's voice came from afar, and the figure rushed over, he just felt Cao Huachun's breath appear in front of the military mansion, and he wanted to step forward to beat the drum, so he immediately rushed over.

This Gonggong Cao has always been inseparable from King Xuan, since he is here, King Xuan is probably also nearby, but I don't know why I can't feel King Xuan's breath.

Seeing Zhao Fei coming, Ling Xuan asked Cao Huachun to retreat, Ling Xuan's carriage had a formation to shield his aura, and at this moment he was standing on the carriage, so Zhao Fei couldn't feel Ling Xuan's aura just now, but seeing Zhao Fei rushing over as soon as possible, Ling Xuan was still very satisfied.

The reason why Ling Xuan asked Cao Huachun to beat the drum was to force Zhao Fei to come out, wanting to take advantage of the current situation in the imperial capital to make Zhao Fei compromise and agree to what he would do next.

"Your Highness, why are you here? Don't send anyone to inform you, so that the lower officials can meet you. ”

Zhao Fei stood in front of the carriage and said with a smile, looking up at Ling Xuan slightly, and at the same time, he also muttered in his heart, I don't know why this highness can't stand on the carriage, and it is a little uncomfortable to look up at people.

Ling Xuan wanted to use his momentum to oppress Zhao Fei, but his height was a hard injury, no matter how strong his momentum was on Ling Xuan, it would be greatly discounted, so he naturally had to find a way to make up for the disadvantage in height, and now he had no choice but to be in the carriage.

"Commander Zhao, do you know what is happening in the imperial capital city now when you stay in the military palace?"

Ling Xuan's indifferent voice came from above, and at the same time, there was a hint of reproach hidden in it.

"The lower officials don't know what His Highness is talking about? Now it seems that no high-ranking officials have been assassinated in the imperial capital. ”

Zhao Fei sighed in his heart, he was still leading a team of city guards to patrol just now, and he came back less than half an hour, it would not be such a coincidence, another high-ranking official was assassinated in half an hour, then he was too unlucky.

"No high-ranking officials in the imperial capital have been killed, and this king is here to know what is the duty of the city guards?"

Ling Xuan's voice was even more indifferent, and there was even a trace of killing intent in his eyes, but this killing intent was not aimed at Zhao Fei, plus Zhao Fei was still under the carriage now, so naturally he couldn't see the killing intent in Ling Xuan's eyes.

"Your Highness, the city guards are responsible for the security of the capital, purging all fanatics who try to disturb the imperial capital, and making the imperial capital stable and peaceful. ”

Zhao Fei's voice was loud and confident, since he knew that no high-ranking officials had been killed, then he was relieved.

"What about the current imperial capital, but it's stable?"

Ling Xuan asked again, not giving Zhao Fei a chance to speak, he continued, his voice was stern and indifferent.

"There have been frequent thefts and robberies in the imperial capital in the past few days, this is what you said to make the imperial capital stable and safe?"

"In the past few days, there have been more than ten underground forces in the imperial capital, causing more than a dozen shops in the imperial capital to be burned down, and nearly 1,000 people were killed and injured.

"This is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the lower officials, please forgive your Highness. ”

Zhao Fei said helplessly, Ling Xuan said these situations, he knew all about them, but he was busy with the search and arrest of assassins in the past few days, and he had no time to deal with these things, and behind these things, there were shadows of spies from various countries, their whereabouts were secretive, and it was too difficult to find out and eradicate them.

"Forgiveness, you should go and say this to the people of the imperial capital now, let them forgive their sins!" Ling Xuan said angrily.

"What should the lower officials do, please ask Your Highness for guidance. ”

Zhao Fei's body bowed deeply, he knew that Ling Xuan would not just ask for guilt when he came here, no matter what he said, he was also a person belonging to the royal family, and he should have a way to pull himself.

Ling Xuan stared at Zhao Fei under the carriage and ordered, "Gather the generals with drums and immediately gather the city guards to eliminate the root cause of all the turmoil in the imperial capital." ”

"Your Highness, all the city guards are dispatched, and you need Your Majesty's holy decree, I don't know if Your Highness has brought it?"

Zhao Fei said cautiously, the turmoil in the imperial capital these days has made the people look down on the city guards a little, he has long been fed up with this kind of, but the transfer of the city guards needs a holy decree, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion.

"Without the holy decree, if the father and emperor blame it, this king will bear it with all his might, and he will never involve the city guards. ”

"But Your Highness ......," Zhao Fei wanted to say something.

"Commander Zhao, if you have to ask for your father's holy decree, the city guards can't make an exception for the people of the imperial capital?" Ling Xuan's face was cold, and his voice became more and more indifferent.

"Your Highness, if there is no holy decree, please forgive your majesty for not being able to obey your orders. Zhao Fei still refused to mobilize the city guards.

"Commander Zhao, you are a little too pedantic, don't you know what it means to be in a hurry?"

A slightly shrill voice came from afar, and Ling Xuan saw the cold meaning on the man's face dissipate and laughed.
