In the second half of the night, the rain gradually subsided.

A man in black wearing a hat walked through the dark alleys, probably for fear of being recognized by people, and the brim of his hat was pulled very low.

A very remote alley, deep in a dilapidated courtyard, with several cracks in the door panel, creaked when opened.

"Come on in!" The man inside beckoned, and the man in black dodged and squeezed in through the crack in the door. There was another creaking sound, and the door quickly closed.

"Why did you come?" The man who was waiting to open the door grumbled: "The Commander has been waiting for a long time. ”

“…… I really can't get out of it. The man in black explained in a low voice, and when he turned around, the brim of his hat was slightly raised, revealing half of his young face, and a blue mole on the corner of his mouth, which was the newly added guard by Fang Xian's side.

"Alright, alright, keep up." The man lifted his feet and walked inside.

In the only room that is still clean in the whole abandoned courtyard, there is a white ash lit on the bronze platform of the sleeping turtle, which is as hot as a bean, and a long-length halberd shines in the corner of the wall, faintly flashing with a silver cold light.

Leaning on the back of the circle sat an old man in a black suit, in his fifties, with half a hundred hair, straight shoulders and back, strong waist and abdomen, and a military bearing.

"I've seen the Grand Commander."

In the face of the leader of the forbidden army, who commanded the power of the imperial city to defend the city, the young guards were solemn and did not dare to slack off.

Wang Xuan nodded and went straight to the point: "Say it." ”

"It is reported that Tan Zhou entered the courtyard on three or four days and four or five days at the Weizang Winery,"

The young guard was a little nervous, his tongue was knotted, he wiped his sweat behind his back, and calmed down before continuing: "Gunpowder is buried in the courtyard of the fourth and fifth entrances, and in some of the basements of the first three courtyards. Before the general opened the gate to release the water, he confirmed with Liangqing, the commander of the iron guard of Changjiabao, that the protective layer above the gunpowder in the courtyard of Wujin had been destroyed...... But I don't know why, after the winery was flooded, the fifth courtyard suddenly exploded......"

"Are you sure that the Wujin Courtyard exploded after it was flooded, not before the water was released?" Wang Xuan asked in a deep voice.

"Sure." The guard was adamant: "At that time, the flood had already submerged the entire Ajizo winery, and the water was flowing westward, but after the explosion, the cofferdam near the Wujin Courtyard was shaken down, and the water went eastward, flooding many houses. ”

Thinking of Fang Xian's sad and indignant appearance at the time of the incident, the guards were a little unbearable: "If there was an explosion before the water was released, the general would not have let people open the floodgates." ”

"Fang Xian really doesn't know?"

Fang Xian couldn't believe it, he was stunned for a long time, very sad and angry.

"Grief and indignation?" Wang Xuan frowned, smiled playfully, raised his hand, and the forbidden army by the door led the guard to retreat.

"Grand Commander," Adjutant General Yan Huawu walked in.

"What do you think?"

Yan Huawu thought for a while and said, "According to the humble opinion of his subordinates, it should be Ning Yu or Su Minghan who sent someone to do something. Liangqing is an old man, and he will not make such a mistake. ”

Wang Xuan shook his head, this subordinate was transferred to the Praetorian Guard, and he had been following him for several years, but he was not sensitive to those methods in the officialdom at all.

"It's certain to do it, but it may not be Suning." Wang Xuan looked up at the window. The sky near midnight is as heavy as obscurity, and you can't see the changes in the depths: "A gentleman is warm, and his heart is like iron." It's not easy. ”

Yan Huawu didn't ask Wang Xuan who this person was, there were many people in the dynasty, with different styles, worthy of the four words "gentlemen and gentlemen", or in Wang Xuan's heart, there was only one person in the Manchu Dynasty.

"Commander, someone has sent a letter. With the addition of fire paint and special seals, it is a person from Mu Cangping's side. The forbidden army Ma Dongliang walked in.

Wang Xuan got up suddenly, walked a few steps quickly, and opened the letter.

A smile of joy and a hint of uncertainty slowly appeared on the archleader's bronze face.

"Haha" Wang Xuan laughed: "Tan Zhou, this old dog, really has a long life." He turned his head and ordered, "Go and call your ancestors." ”

Zu Peng, the head of the Luling Zu family. The Zu family, in the hundreds of years that have been traced upwards, has always been the authentic practice of the five elements of yin and yang.

"Commander-in-chief, don't worry. We waited around Huaijing Street to survey day and night, observing its qi shape, and the formation was taken from the five major evil formations of Yin Shang, such as 'Heavenly Evil', 'Earth Evil', 'Sun and Moon Evil', 'Grass and Wood Evil' and 'Four Seasons Evil', and formed a combined evil array. Although it is dangerous, it is not difficult to overcome.

There is an old man leading my children and grandchildren to sit in the town, as long as the commander and the officials cooperate, they will be able to fight back and kill them with this array. ”

"Is the old gentleman so sure?" Wang Xuan was still skeptical and said, "That Mu Si is the one who broke through the Liu family's trapped dragon formation. ”

"Of course." Zu Peng laughed and said: "If the old man doesn't have this ability, how dare he be invited by the Great Commander to come to this place. ”

"Don't hide it from the great commander, the old man used to live in the Mu family in Luoyang, and he was entrusted by Mu Cangping to teach the two sons of his family the method of the five elements," Zu Peng twisted his beard and recalled: "It's a pity that those two sons, one has a deep mind and the other is as fierce as fire, and they are not suitable for practicing this way." On the contrary, this woman is an auditor, both diligent and talented, speaking of which, the old decay and her still have a half-teacher friendship. ”

"But...... Hehe, the old man has been idle in the Mu family for a month, and it has only been half a month to teach those three children. The five elements of yin and yang, the way of the poor heaven and earth, its profound and mysterious, as vast as the ocean, how can it be completed in a few days. ”

Although there is a saying that the blue is better than the blue, the master is the master after all, and the apprentice is the apprentice after all.

Zu Peng has studied the five elements of this way for nearly 70 years, and Mu Si Primary School has been for half a month, and then he has been tossing and turning, and his thoughts are mixed. Zu Peng is not lying in vain.

Wang Xuan's heart was a little calm.

Zu Peng said again: "The old man brought five sons and seven grandchildren, and there were eighteen disciples in the door, all of whom were masters of breaking the enemy with arrays. If this battle is lost, the Luling ancestral clan will decline, and he will not dare to be unsatisfied. ”

What Wang Xuan wants is his words: "The war is imminent, and I hope that the old gentleman will do his best." ”

It stands to reason that Wang Xuan shouldn't be so uneasy.

As the commander of the forbidden army of the Southern Dynasties, he is strong in martial arts, and he is invincible with a heavenly silver halberd. On this trip, he was accompanied by Yu Chongwu, one of the three masters of Later Qin, who was hired by Liu Yuan with a large amount of money, and Murong Di, the first swordsman of Northern Yan. There are also more than 100 royal assassins, Ouchi first-class guards, and elite forbidden troops.

The killers sent by Mu Cangping to Chuzhou fought among themselves under Mu Dianke's separation, and there were only twenty people left, but all of them were top masters. With the help of the Luling ancestral clan, it can be said to be foolproof.

He has encountered countless wars in his life, but this time he lost his breath.

It's not that he's afraid of Jin Yanchen. In his opinion, no matter how arrogant the Ming Palace is, it is just a wild sect in the rivers and lakes, and the rabble cannot become a big climate. What really made him feel palpitations was Rong Yi's failure.

This "Rong Family Zhou Lang" and "Undefeated God of War" are almost god-like existences in the hearts of all the soldiers of the Southern Dynasties.

However, this invincible Rong Xiangye on the battlefield, Chen soldiers 30,000, broke the Divine Arrow Battalion, damaged the pro-corps, and finally failed to kill a single Jianghu guest.

Some people in the court laughed at him for his old sword, but Wang Xuan knew that Rong Yi's bladeless sword was not only not old, but sharpened day by day under the polishing of the years.

Jin Liu...... He secretly tightened his fists.
