A hand stretched out in the soil, and then stood up and a person, this person was none other than Qi Lin.

Qi Lin practiced the Nine Lives and Nine Deaths Xuangong, was injured by Gao Song's palm, almost wanted to die, happened to fall into this pit, hurriedly swallowed a life-sustaining fruit, and then held his breath, after Gao Song left, directly hid in the soil.

Because his breath was very weak, and it was used to breathe Dafa (Qi Lin's specially collected exercises to deal with his own characteristics), no one found out about his existence, and it was not until this time that his injuries were healed by the Nine Lives and Nine Deaths Xuangong, and he regained some mobility a little before he crawled out.

Qi Lin's face is sallow, his appearance is emaciated, he hasn't eaten for more than ten days, and he is seriously injured and dying, it is a fluke to be able to come back to life, can he still expect to be radiant?

This breakthrough through the fourth layer is much more difficult than the previous ones, and the recovery speed is much slower.

The first breakthrough was because Qi Lin didn't know martial arts at that time, and the danger was much lower than others, the second time was that the immortal real person helped him, and the third time was an accident, when he met Chu Jing, he turned evil into good fortune.

However, at this time, he really turned around in front of the Grim Reaper, and he almost couldn't come back.

Gao Song thought that Qi Lin was dead that day, because that palm was already fatal, and it was impossible for Qi Lin to come back to life if it wasn't for the life-sustaining fruit and special exercises.

"Where is this?"

Qi Lin glanced left and right, fortunately, it was already afternoon, and the sun was not too dazzling, so his eyes would not be injured because of the sudden sight of light.

He only felt dizzy, his body did not have any strength, and the scene in front of him was not real.

Both the old man and the child ran away, and no one was around.

"I'm hungry......"

Qi Lin instinctively walked towards Anping City, shaking and staggering, one step at a time.

There are still soldiers defending the city in Anping City, although they are all bored holding their spears and leaning on the city gate.

When they saw a person covered in dirt, as if he had just crawled out of the ground, staggering over, they immediately became a little interested.

"Where did the beggar come from, rolling, being delayed Lao Tzu's time, I don't know if the city gate has been closed. ”

A soldier stepped forward and laughed, reached out and swept it away.

Qi Lin looked at the open city gate in confusion, stretched out his hand, and said in a hoarse and smoking voice: "Give me water, and ...... to eat."

"Bang!"

No one handed him water or food, only a spear, which knocked him to the ground.

At this time, the soldier who came forward saw what Qi Lin was wearing clearly, the general's armor covered with mud, although there was no dazzling brilliance, but the heavy shape was still recognizable at a glance.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand vigorously behind him, "Come and have a look......

When a few soldiers ran over curiously, they were all stunned and stunned when they saw that the person who fell to the ground was wearing the general's armor.

"This ...... We...... Isn't it developed?!"

A soldier woke up from a dream and stammered.

"Yes, the general's armor, isn't this the armor of General Qi Lin that the emperor ordered to find!"

"General Huang Qiu's body has been buried thickly, this must be General Qi's armor, we are developed!"

Several soldiers were very excited, and if they were able to do something for the eldest prince, they would definitely get a great reward.

"Quick, get this armor out of this scavenger's hands. ”

Several soldiers went to pull out Qi Lin's armor together, but Qi Lin had no power to resist.

"I'm going to report to the city lord!"

A soldier grabbed his chest guard and was about to run into the city.

Another soldier grabbed him, "You kid want to take the credit alone? You kid wants the city lord to ask, how do you answer? The armor has been found, where is General Qi Lin? You bastard still don't know anything, do you want to die?"

Several soldiers deliberated for a while, and decided to save the "scavenger" first, and report back after getting more information from him.

"And what will he do after that?"

"Of course it's a hundred, don't forget, we took the credit from him. ”

Soon, the soldiers hid their armor and carried Qi Lin into the prison, and there were many people who were sent to the prison every day, which could avoid suspicion.

In order to save Qi Lin, several soldiers pooled money to buy food and some medicine.

"Are you sure you want to give him all these pills? That's a three-day dose!"

"Of course, sooner rather than later, there will be unforeseen complications, and we must hurry up to bring him to his senses. ”

After feeding the dazed Qi Lin with medicine and pouring some rice soup, Qi Lin felt a little more comfortable and fell asleep again.

"Hey, wake up, wake up!"

The two slaps were slapped, but Qi Lin still didn't react.

One soldier said, "Wait tomorrow, tomorrow he will come to his senses, and we will interrogate him together." ”

Wait until the next day.

Several soldiers walked into the cell together, Qi Lin was in a coma, his body was too weak.

"Wake him up with water!"

Splashed on his head by the cold water of autumn, Qi Lin woke up immediately.

"Here...... And where?"

"This is hell, tell me, where did you find this armor?" the soldier asked in a loud voice.

"Armor?"

Qi Lin looked around, this seemed to be a cell, and the four people standing in front of him seemed to be jailers, no, the jailers' clothes were different from them, they were ordinary soldiers.

Was he caught by the third prince? That's right, Anping City is broken, and if he hasn't died, then he must have become a prisoner.

Prisoners, you can't be killed, but if you are captured in a civil war, it's not a shame to be captured by another prince.

No one wants to die, at least Qi Lin's desire to survive is very strong.

"I want to see the Third Highness. Qi Lin said weakly.

The four soldiers laughed, "Your Royal Highness, this scavenger is crazy, it was the third prince who brought this disaster, and he still wants to see the third prince, a madman, really a madman." ”

This time it was Qi Lin's turn to be shocked, what was going on, could it be that this was not the prison cell of the third prince?

At this time, a soldier stepped forward and kicked Qi Lin fiercely, scolding: "Don't pretend to be stupid, tell me honestly, where did you dig up that armor, and where is his body? If you don't say it, Lao Tzu will let you taste the power of the tiger chair!"

Qi Lin really didn't know what he was talking about, and looked at the other three soldiers innocently.

"Don't talk nonsense, you don't know that these pariahs are all cheap bones, and you won't say anything if you don't beat him. ”

A soldier took off the whip from the wall, didn't ask again, and directly whipped it, the whip was made of buffalo skin, very strong, and immediately saw a whip mark printed with blood on Qi Lin's body.

Qi Lin couldn't help the pain, and shouted loudly: "I am Qi Lin, the general of Anbei, no matter whose subordinate you are, I will see your commander." ”

"Hehe, you dare to claim to be Qi Lin, and you are quite knowledgeable, but do you think that if you put on the armor of General Qi Lin, you are really him? You are just a pariah, a poor ghost!"

Qi Lin's words did not get their attention, but the fight intensified, and Qi Lin, who was in pain, did not have the strength to scream, and soon mixed up again.

A soldier stepped forward and snatched the whip and scolded: "Bastard, you knocked him unconscious again, who paid for the medicine to save him this time, you?"

The soldier who beat the man hurriedly made amends: "Hehe, isn't this a good fight?" Besides, our credit is not small, and we are still short of a few taels of silver. ”

Because they were afraid that Qi Lin would die, the soldiers began to bandage his wounds and decoction medicine.

Suddenly, a soldier proposed: "Otherwise, let's dig up a random skeleton and put armor on him, anyway, General Qi Lin has been dead for more than ten days, and he has long been rotten, and no one will know about it." ”

The other soldiers were thoughtful, but now that the person concerned is here, and he is not dead, it is better to interrogate slowly.

However, the development of things was far beyond everyone's imagination, and the "scavenger" they caught, who didn't know where he got the strength, actually hit the wall and died, without any breath, and a lot of blood flowed on his forehead.

The soldiers blamed each other for a while, but there was no choice but to drag the body out as usual, hand it over to the corpse picker, and let him be dragged to the mass grave.

The corpse was not allowed to remain in the city, it would cause a plague, and the dead were unlucky, and no one wanted to dig a pit and bury it in their own homes, so they found a mass grave outside the city, that is, a small depression.

The corpse pickers are considered to be the imperial court establishment, and their job is to pick up the dead corpses and pull them to mass graves.

"Alas, it's the thirteenth of this month, and there are no people who are pulled out of prison to ask if they are beheaded, but many are killed by the jailers. ”

The corpse picker is a white-haired old man, this job is not very much, and it is very unlucky, and it is generally done by the old man who is about to die, as a way to accumulate virtue in the next life.

Qi Lin didn't carry the small cart and slowly pulled it to the mass grave outside the city.

The corpse picker dug the pit and was about to move Qi Lin down from the car, but he was stunned, "It's strange, why is this person's body not stiff, it's out of breath, why?"

Although he was puzzled, he still fulfilled his duty and buried Qi Lin.

By the time Qi Lin crawled out of the ground again, it was already the night of the third day.

On autumn nights, the starry sky appears high and bright.

This was the first time Qi Lin had come to a place full of graves at night, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Now he is intact, yes, Qi Lin is now full of internal strength and unlimited energy.

The magic of the Nine Lives and Nine Deaths Xuangong is that after experiencing the transformation of life and death, he can be resurrected with full blood and blue, the last time, because he was too seriously injured and buried in the ground for too long, he used up all his internal energy again after breaking through, but this time nothing like this happened.

Because the four soldiers didn't listen to Qi Lin's defense at all, they just blindly beat them, and Qi Lin felt that he was certain to die if he fell into their hands, so he made this decision.

Fortunately, the serious wound and the Turtle Breath Dafa deceived them, and Qi Lin was able to escape safely.

In fact, Qi Lin's approach was very risky, he hit the wall with his head, it really hit it, and he was only half a step away from death.

Fortunately, the Nine Lives and Nine Deaths Xuan Gong once again took him and helped him push him to the fifth layer.

Immortal real people cultivated Xuangong to reach the strength of dominating the world, although Qi Lin only cultivated to the fifth layer, but in terms of internal strength, it was higher than Chu Jing, and it was only one step away from reaching the Ling Xuan Realm.

However, Qi Lin still didn't have much interest in martial arts, Gao Song was strong enough, but under the control of a hundred masters, it had almost no impact on the battle situation.

Qi Lin was injured by him, not because of how powerful Gao Song was, but because Anping City was destined to be breached, and it was Qi Lin's side that was defeated.

At this time, Qi Lin, who was already in full condition, had all his tattered clothes, and he had nothing at this time, and even the rest of the life renewal fruit was taken away by the soldiers.

He is not in a hurry, as long as he returns to Xinyang City and sees the eldest prince, everything he has lost will be returned, and those people will pay a heavy price.

......

......

Xinyang City, Imperial Palace.

In the main hall, the rotting corpse dressed in the bright general's armor was carried up.

"Qi Lin ......"

The eldest prince got down from the dragon chair, and tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.

"City Lord of Anping City, where did you find Qi Lin and find out the cause of death?"

The city lord of Anping City replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it was discovered by several soldiers during the battlefield investigation, and the coroner said that Lord Qi Lin was seriously injured and died. ”

The eldest prince looked up at the top of the hall one hundred and thirty-five degrees, and sighed: "I really shouldn't have let you go, I was wrong." ”

Zhu Yin stood up and persuaded: "Your Majesty, please don't be sad, General Qi died for the sake of Xinguo, which is heavier than Mount Tai, and the three princes can withdraw their troops in exchange for the current situation. ”

The eldest prince nodded, ordered the four soldiers to be rewarded heavily, and prepared to prepare a heavy funeral for Qi Lin tomorrow.

At this moment, suddenly a guard hurriedly barged in.

Zhu Yin reprimanded: "Your Majesty is going to the court, what kind of system are you in a hurry." ”

"It's okay, you can say anything in public," the eldest prince was still immersed in sadness, and did not blame.

The guard looked at the corpse on the ground suspiciously, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, General Qi Lin is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

Because Qi Lin often followed the eldest prince, there were almost no people in the entire palace who didn't know him, so they would go all the way unimpeded and come directly to the outside of the main hall.

"What?" the eldest prince was shocked and asked, "You mean Qi Lin is outside?"

"Villains don't dare to lie!"

"Invite him in, no, I'll come over myself. ”

The eldest prince hurriedly ran towards the outside of the main hall.

The other officials looked thoughtfully at the corpses on the ground, and then at the city lord of Anping City, and hurriedly followed the footsteps of the eldest prince.

The city lord of Anping City was completely stunned, he didn't understand the situation at all, why did he just give Qi Lin's body to the eldest prince, and there was another Qi Lin outside?

It was useless to think about it, and the city lord of Anping City hurriedly chased him out.

Qi Lin had actually arrived in Xinyang City a long time ago, but he did not reveal his identity, but waited until the city lord of Anping City entered the palace with the corpse of "Qi Lin".

"Qi Lin, is it really you? You're not dead?"

The eldest prince stepped forward and hugged Qi Lin.

Fortunately, Qi Lin used the money he got at hand, took a bath, changed into new clothes, and was not afraid of soiling the eldest prince.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been humiliated by his mission, and Anping City has fallen. Qi Lin knelt down and said.

The eldest prince hurriedly pulled Qi Lin up and said: "It's okay, it's okay, you have made a great contribution this time, after the third prince fought in Anping City, his troops suffered heavy losses, so he had to retreat, not only did you have no fault, but you are also a great hero." ”

Qi Lin looked at the eldest prince gratefully, "Your Majesty ......"

At this time, other ministers also stepped forward to congratulate Qi Lin on his escape.

"That's right. The eldest prince said, "What's the matter with your armor? Just now the city lord of Anping City brought a corpse, and I almost took him for you? Are you using it as a stand-in?"

Qi Lin showed an angry look and said, "Your Majesty, this is the ......"

Qi Lin told the eldest prince everything about that day.

"How can this be justified, how can this be justified!"

The eldest prince was so angry that he scolded: "Our heroes did not die at the hands of the enemy, but they almost died at the hands of money-hungry soldiers, these bastards, these damn bastards!"

"City Lord of Anping City!"

"The minister is here!"

The city lord of Anping City has long been kneeling on the ground waiting for the eldest prince to fall, this is within his jurisdiction, and it is also him who carries the fake corpse to meet the eldest prince, he can't carry this black cauldron without thinking about it.

The eldest prince pointed to his nose and shouted, "Do you know what you are guilty of?!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen should die, Weichen should die, those villains are too treacherous, and Weichen can't tell the difference. ”

"Can't tell the difference? Then what do you want!" The eldest prince flicked his sleeves fiercely, and said: "Your matter will be talked about later, come here, go and bring me those soldiers from Anping City, I want to see people alive, and I want to see corpses when I die!"

Then, the court meeting dispersed, and the eldest prince and Qi Lin walked in the back garden together.

The flowers in the palace have not been dusted by the civil war, and are still in full bloom, but the flowers that bloom in autumn are a little less delicate and a little more tenacious.

"It turned out that after the Battle of Anpyeong, Shinkoku became like this. Qi Lin groaned as he walked, his thoughts spinning rapidly.

The eldest prince picked a small flower casually, played with it in his hand, and said: "Yes, I didn't expect it to become like this, now I and the third brother don't have many troops, there is more than enough to defend the city, and the attack is insufficient, alas, for the second brother and the seventh brother, I don't have the slightest way." ”

Qi Lin sighed, "We can only wait, wait for whoever makes a mistake first, and wait for who can take the lead before the next war comes." ”

Although the eldest prince is in the center of the kingdom of letters, he is ostensibly the target of public criticism, but after the battle of Anping City, no one will underestimate the strength of the eldest prince, and he still has the most powerful blood wolf legion that has not been used.
