In the afternoon, all the 100,000 troops received their salaries.

As for how the military salary came from, Lichen didn't want to know, he only valued the result.

It is worth mentioning that Hu County, Yunyang County, privately embezzled the treasury and looted countless times, and after the matter was revealed, he committed suicide in the county guard's mansion.

Lichen immediately ordered that Heming would take over as the county guard of Yunyang County by the master of the Shenji Battalion, and the concert recommending Heming to take over as the county guard had been issued, and he would reach the royal city in a few days.

On the eve of the war, more than 20 big families in Yunyang County donated gold coins, pills, and equipment to the Tiexiongguan army, and many chambers of commerce also donated generously.

It was with the donations of these people that the military salary of the 100,000-strong army was settled.

As for the military salary, he had secretly told the king, and presented his disposition together.

Even if he conceals this matter, with Wang Jun's eyes in various places, this matter will be known to him sooner or later.

Rather than being known by Wang Jun, it is better for him to take the initiative to play secretly.

Besides, this matter is the cabinet's unauthorized initiative, and the military salary belonging to Tiexiongguan was allocated to the seventh prince, and the old things in the cabinet can only be blamed.

In the matter of military salary, he found a talent, Shen Liuli, this woman's mental means are all high-class, and she must be a good helper if she is cultivated in the future.

No, as soon as Shen Liuli came back, he handed her one thing.

He got countless belongings from the Wind Spirit Mansion, and these things were of little use in the Yuan Ring, so he took out a large part of it and asked Shen Liuli to take it to open a chamber of commerce and earn more gold coins and Yuan Shi.

As for the manpower of the Chamber of Commerce, he asked Shen Liuli to choose it himself.

Shen Liuli selected more than a dozen True Yuan Realm disciples from the imprisoned Liuli Sect disciples, and selected three Xuanyuan Realm elders.

In this way, the Chamber of Commerce has enough manpower, and the next step is how to lay it out, this kind of thing, Shen Liuli is best at, after all, she used to be the head of a sect.

Lichen's first order was to ask her to do everything she could to buy a batch of Xuan-rank swords.

His Killing Sword Array needed forty-nine killing swords, and all the Xuan-rank swords in his hand added up, which was less than thirty, and he wanted to collect enough forty-nine killing swords before the big battle came, so that his killing sword array could come in handy.

The Killing Sword Formation requires a higher-grade sword as the eye of the formation.

An ordinary-grade sword can't exert the power of a killing sword array, since his forty-nine killing swords are Xuan-rank, the sword of the array eye must at least have a spirit-level sword.

As far as he knew, the only ones who possessed spirit-level weapons in the Dali Dynasty were the royal family and the Four Princes' Mansion, as well as the Chiyan Spirit Sect and other major sects.

Both the sect and the royal family regard the spirit level weapons as the treasure of the Zhenzong.

Spirit-level weapons are different from Xuan-level weapons, when spirit-level weapons are forged, a trace of spiritual wisdom will be born, and this spiritual wisdom will gradually give birth to the spirit of weapons after countless years.

Therefore, the Spirit Rank weapon is a priceless treasure.

Even if there were occasional spirit-level weapons in the auction house, they were all snatched up at sky-high prices.

With all his current savings, it would be enough to buy a spirit-level weapon.

He told Shen Liuli about this matter, and asked her to pay attention to it secretly, and if there was any news of the spirit rank long sword, inform him immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Liuli pondered for a moment, a pair of charming eyes stayed on him for a moment, and his red lips opened faintly: "The founding patriarch of the Liuli Sect once had a spirit level sword, called the Soul Devouring Sword, this sword is extremely evil, once sacrificed, it will affect the consciousness of the sword bearer himself, and those who are not strong in their minds are easy to be swayed by this sword and become a monster who only knows how to kill." ”

Soul Eater.

Lichen's eyes narrowed.

He seemed to have seen the record of the Soul Eater Sword somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"The Soul Eater Sword is in your hand?" asked the Soul Breaker tentatively.

Shen Liuli shook his head lightly and said: "The patriarch of the Kai Sect sealed the Soul Devouring Sword in the forbidden land of the Liuli Sect, and left a last word, all disciples of the Liuli Sect are not allowed to step into the forbidden land for half a step, otherwise, as soon as the Soul Devouring comes out, the door will be punished." ”

"Where is the forbidden land of the Liuli Sect?" Lichen came with a trace of interest, the ancestor of the Liuli Sect left the last words of the Soul Devouring Sect that was all over the house, it should be that this Soul Devouring Sword was too ferocious, and he was worried that no one in the future generations of disciples would be able to control this sword and be confused by this sword.

"The mountain gate before the Liuli Sect is on the east side of the Wuzhou Lost Soul Mountain Range, and the forbidden land is in the Lost Soul Mountain Range. Shen Liuli hesitated for a moment and said, "The concubine body advises His Highness not to open the forbidden land, otherwise, as soon as the Soul Devouring Sword comes out, I am afraid that it will affect His Highness's heart." ”

"Soul Eater Sword, this king is going to decide. Lichen said with a solemn expression.

He tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about how to take out the Soul Eater Sword.

The Ecstasy Mountain Range is about seven or eight hundred kilometers away, and at the speed of the Flying Tiger, it can be reached in half a day.

It's just that I don't know what kind of danger is hidden in the forbidden land of the Liuli Sect.

"Has anyone tried to take out the Soul Eater Sword?" Lichen asked.

Shen Liuli replied truthfully: "After the third generation of sect masters entered, they never came out, and from then on, the successive sect masters did not dare to step into the forbidden land. ”

"How long has it been since the Liuli Sect moved to Yunyang County?" asked Lichen.

"It's been more than a hundred years. Shen Liuli's tender red lips floated into a charming smile, and said: "That forbidden land is only known to the sect masters and the Supreme Elders, and besides, only we can enter the forbidden land, even if others want to enter, they can't find the entrance to the forbidden land." ”

"Oh, so you have a token to enter the forbidden land in your hand?" said Lichen.

"Before the previous generation of Taishang elders sat down, they left the forbidden land token to the concubine. Shen Liuli nodded lightly.

Lichen thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "You go with this king, if you can take out the soul devouring sword, this king can meet your request, but it does not include giving you a free body." ”

"Your Highness wants to go, but the concubine can only follow. Shen Liuli's charming face swelled with a touch of bitterness, even if Lichen didn't say it, she knew that if he unfortunately died in the forbidden land, she would not have a chance to live, like this clever slave secret technique, once the master died, the slave would also be martyred.

It can be said that she and Lichen have one life, if Lichen dies, she also has to die, on the contrary, if she dies, Lichen will damage some vitality at most, and there will be no worries about her life.

"Pack up, we'll go now. "Lichen Road.

"Your Highness, now that the war is imminent, the Lord will leave the camp, and I am afraid that the army will be unstable. Shen Liuli reminded.

"It's okay, let's go and come back quickly, don't mention this matter to anyone, the matter in the army, this king will entrust Pingnanhou, with his many years of experience in galloping on the battlefield, there will not be much of a problem. "Lichen Road.

Shen Liuli nodded lightly, and then, Ying Ying bowed and withdrew.

After she left, Lichen wrote a letter and asked the guards to hand it over to Pingnanhou, which contained his arrangements for the deployment of the army, as long as Pingnanhou insisted on holding the Tiexiong Pass according to what he said in the letter, even if the Great Zhou joined forces with the barbarian tribes, he couldn't help it.
