Lin Mang turned around and looked at the masters of the Jianghu Martial Arts Sect below.

He knew that these people were eager to kill themselves one by one at the moment, but they were just thinking, and no one dared to take action.

He didn't even have the courage to rebel with the rebels, let alone argue with the court.

The stronger he is, the more afraid they are!

From the moment he said 200,000 Beijing camps and 100,000 southern troops, they were afraid.

They couldn't guess where the army was now, or whether it was outside this Xiangyang Mansion.

The army can't level the chaotic army, can't it level their sect?

The foundation of the sect is here, and they dare not gamble.

Unless they can really give up the great sect foundation.

As for those small sects, they don't even have the idea of gambling.

If the court wants to crush them, it won't be too difficult.

Murong Shiqing's face was gloomy.

He looked at Lin Mang, suddenly stood up, and arched his hand: "Since Lord Lin wants to compete for the position of the leader of this alliance, the grass people want to dare to challenge Lord Lin. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes looked at Murong Shiqing.

The dissatisfaction with Murong Shiqing just now was a little bit louder.

Murong Shiqing can be said to have spoken their hearts.

Let a Jinyi guard serve as the leader of the martial arts alliance, if it spreads, wouldn't it make the martial arts compatriots in the world laugh.

For hundreds of years, there has never been a precedent for Jin Yiwei to serve as the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Murong Shiqing looked at Lin Mang's eyes, and an imperceptible cold color flashed.

Although you can't kill this Lin Mang, it's okay to teach him a lesson today.

Competing for the leader of the martial arts alliance, challenges are inevitable, this is the rule in the rivers and lakes.

Murong Shiqing looked at Lin Mang calmly, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Lord Lin can teach you?" ”

Lin Mang smiled and bowed slightly.

"Yes!"

"However, the sword has no eyes, and the head of the Murong family is still mentally prepared."

Murong Shiqing's face suddenly turned cold.

Is this warning me?

If it was the envoy of Jingcheng City today, he might still be a little jealous, but you are a brocade guard and a thousand households, and your tone is too big.

Young people, being arrogant can be understood, but being too arrogant is not a good thing.

He admits that this person is indeed extraordinary, but his decades of penance are not as good as a boy who has not grown all his hair.

"Lord Lin doesn't have to keep his hands!"

Murong Shiqing's tone was extremely cold, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Lin Mang put the knife into the sheath and said with a smile: "Let's shoot." ”

"You don't use a knife?"

Lin Mang said in a relaxed tone: "You are not worth letting me go out of the knife." ”

Murong Shiqing's face became extremely cold for a moment, and he sneered: "Since that's the case, then I don't need weapons." ”

"Lord Lin, I hope you won't regret it."

The people below secretly scolded in their hearts, this one is crazy and boundless, and the other is really shameless.

Who doesn't know that your Murong family is famous for its palm and leg techniques.

Lin Mang looked at Murong Shiqing with a smile and said, "Let's start!" ”

Murong Shiqing sneered, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, galloping over.

Ling's leg technique had already attacked, pointing directly at Lin Mang's life point.

Lin Mangmeng took a step forward, and the pure yang fist technique of Zhimeng was unfolded, domineering and unparalleled, like a scorching sun falling, and the scorching true qi condensed into a raging firelight and burst out, making the surroundings of the high platform scorched black.

The scorching temperature seemed to scorch the air.

Murong Shiqingtong Kong Meng shrank, was forced to retreat quickly, and responded with a palm technique.

One after another, black True Qi palm prints struck out, like clouds and waves overlapping.

This is the secret palm of the Murong family, the magic cloud palm, the palm power is yin and evil, and it specifically hurts people's five organs.

The mountains and seas of true qi burst out continuously.

In an instant, hundreds of illusory palm prints condensed in front of him, heading down towards the forest mang.

Lin Mang was also not to be outdone, and the Pure Yang Fist Seal burst out one after another, majestic and majestic.

At this moment, Murong Shiqing took advantage of the gap to attack and kill.

The tricky and strange leg method stepped down suddenly, and it seemed to have a huge force.

True qi condenses, like a mountain peak toppling, unstoppable.

A hint of banter suddenly flashed in Lin Mang's calm eyes.

Not good!

The moment he saw Lin Mang's expression, Murong Shiqing was shocked.

"Shattered!"

There seemed to be a nine-day dragon roar, like an angry dragon rushing into the sky, and endless thunder exploded.

The terrifying sonic wave shook and exploded.

The air in front of him seemed to be torn apart, and a sound wave dragon struck and killed.

Murong Shiqing snorted, his eyes were shocked, and his figure retreated wildly.

The impact of the sound waves made his head seem to explode.

The whole person's internal organs are even more surging with qi and blood.

Lin Mang's speed was faster than him, and he rushed to catch up like a lightning speed.

Aeolus legs!

The leg points poured like a torrential rain, the legs were as fierce as the wind, and the strength was like thunder.

Murong Shiqing was terrified.

What kind of leg is this?

The furious power broke through his protective qi in an instant.

"I throw in the towel!"

Murong Shiqing shouted out unwillingly.

Between life and death, face is nothing.

But Lin Mang didn't have the slightest intention of keeping his hand, and almost at the moment when his words fell, he kicked Murong Shiqing's chest.

"Boom!"

Murong Shiqing slammed into the ground from mid-air fiercely, blasting the ground into a big hole.

The pure true qi was like the true fire of the sun, invading his body and quickly incinerating the meridians of his body.

"Poof!" Murong Shi spurted out a mouthful of blood with emotion, and his face turned pale.

Dantian, it's broken!

Lin Mang landed slowly, looked down at Murong Shiqing, and said casually: "Sorry, I didn't hear it just now." ”

Murong Shiqing couldn't hear what Lin Mang said clearly, and the whole person passed out.

It's good to be able to save his life under Dacheng's Fengshen legs.

"Head of the house!"

Several elders of the Murong family anxiously ran to the ring and hurriedly fed Murong Shiqing to swallow the pill.

Under the high platform, it is extremely quiet at the moment.

The Murong family is not weak in this vast land, and Murong Shiqing, as the head of the Murong family, heard that he has already reached the fifth level of Tiangang.

Although Murong Shiqing is the strongest in the Murong family, the strong man of Tiangang's five layers is not a weak person in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes.

Lin Mang sat back in his chair, smiled slightly, and asked, "Everyone...... Do you take it now? ”

In silence,

Zhao Yuntian, the gang leader of the Changtian Gang just now, took the lead in getting up and arched his hand: "I, the Changtian Gang, would like Lord Zunlin to be the leader of the alliance!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone else looked at each other and got up to echo.

After all, they are not those top factions, and their arms can't twist their thighs.

A third-rank master died here, even if they were not killed, but the imperial court would obviously believe Jinyiwei's words more.

Even if it's fake, the court will make it real.

The hearts of the people wailed.

They just came to participate in a martial arts conference, why did they become like this.

Lin Mang smiled.

The cannon fodder for the next battle is there.

……

Jingzhou City,

The state capital.

Looking at the secret report sent, Li Wengui's expression instantly became gloomy.

"It's really a bunch of garbage!"

There are so many masters in the White Lotus Sect, but they can't even take a single shaft.

"Shadow!"

When the words fell, an emaciated figure in black appeared out of thin air behind Li Wengui, kneeling on one knee.

A playful smile suddenly appeared on Li Wengui's face, and he threw the secret report in his hand to him.

"Send this thing to Beijing and hand it over to Yang Hexiu of the household department."

"Presumably...... He should be happy. ”

"Yes!" The shadow said silently, and the figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Li Wengui seemed to be smiling, he couldn't be clearer about what the group of old guys in Beijing were thinking.

If the rebel army does not fight under the capital, they will never be in a hurry.

They would even prefer the fight to last longer, because then they would gain more.

There are some things that you don't need to do at all.

Li Wengui planted a flag on the sand table, and a slight smile appeared on his cold face.

"Luo Shangzhi, I don't know how you will deal with it next."

……

Xiangyang prefect yamen.

Lin Mang put down the list in his hand and sneered: "This guy is really exquisite." ”

On this list, all of Yan's transactions are recorded in detail.

The number of gifts given to whom in what year, month, and day is clearly recorded.

Obviously, this guy is not so stupid on the surface, and he secretly keeps a hand behind his back.

This thing should be his talisman.

On this list, the one with the largest number of gifts is Hubu Shangshu, Yang Hexiu.

From the very beginning of his tenure as a prefectural magistrate, he has been giving gifts to other officials.

From the initial 100 taels, to 1,000 taels, and then to tens of thousands of taels.

And after he served as the prefect, almost every year, at least 20,000 taels of silver were given to Yang Hexiu.

From the time he served as the prefect of Jingzhou to the time he became the political envoy of Huguangbu, in the past 15 years, a total of gifts to Yang Hexiu were equivalent to nearly 880,000 taels of silver.

Among them, the cash silver alone is as high as 500,000 taels.

If you add the 200,000 yuan of disaster relief silver this time, the number is as high as more than 1 million taels.

And this is just a gift from Yan Zhengyi!

It can be seen from this how much the one in Beijing has accumulated.

Of course, these gifts are not simply silver taels, there are many antique calligraphy and paintings, antique treasures.

Even so, it's still an extremely large amount.

It is estimated that the private property of this household secretary is more than the money of the entire household department.

It made him want to enter Beijing quickly, and then hack him to death with a knife to ensure that he was promoted to grandmaster on the spot.

"Your Excellency." Tang Qi arched his hand and said: "There are still 200,000 taels found in Yan Zhengcheng's residence. ”

Lin Mang's index finger tapped on the table and sighed lightly: "Find a way to send it to General Luo." ”

Counting on the capital to allocate food and salary, it is unknown how much it will come in the end.

Peeling it off layer by layer, it's good to have 50,000 taels.

100,000 soldiers eat horses and chew, plus the shelter and pacification of displaced people from all over the country, all of which require money.

is these 200,000 taels, which is estimated to be a drop in the bucket.

As for himself, it's a big deal to spend a little more time and cut a few more masters of the rivers and lakes.

"Humble duty understands." Tang Qi bowed slightly and quietly retreated.

Lin Mang took out the Tianshan Snow Lotus in the box and swallowed it slowly.

In an instant, the true qi in the body surged, and a warm true qi slowly flowed between the limbs and hundreds of remains.

Not only was the fatigue of many days swept away, but the mental loss of the previous Dafa of Delusion was instantly recovered.

After a long time, Lin Mang slowly opened his eyes and smiled.

Although his strength has not increased much, the Tianshan Snow Lotus Order is invulnerable.

……

In the next few days, Lin Mang was integrating the various forces participating in the martial arts conference.

Woo, beat, pull a batch to fight a batch, and even control some masters with life and death charms.

Once on the boat, it was not so easy to think about it.

In the end, it was counted that there were nine strong people in the Tiangang Realm, but most of them were below the triple level of Tiangang.

If it is a real top faction, it will not participate in this martial arts conference.

However, with this group of masters in the rivers and lakes, it will play a great role in the next battle.

Jin Yiwei is not weak in terms of reconnaissance of military intelligence and personal combat power, but after all, it lacks enough top-notch combat power.

When integrating the various major sects, Lin Mang sent a message to Luo Shangzhi with a flying eagle to inform him of the matter, and at the same time asked the leaders of the various major sects to send people to join the army one after another.

After dealing with the affairs of Xiangyang Mansion, Lin Mang and his party hurried to Chengtian Mansion.

After two days of attacking, Lin Mang led a group of masters of the rivers and lakes to rush back to Chengtian Mansion.

As soon as he entered the city, Luo Shangzhi responded, and said with a solemn face: "Brother Lin, thank you for your great kindness!" ”

"Brother has written down this matter, if there is an order in the future, if the brother can do it in the future, he will definitely do it."

The change in attitude can be seen in the simple salutation.

200,000 taels, as well as a group of masters of the rivers and lakes, this can be called a great gift.

Lin Mang smiled: "Brother Luo is too polite. ”

"It's all my business."

With Luo Shangzhi's words, his 200,000 taels of silver were not given in vain.

After all, this is a famous general of the Zhejiang army, holding military power, whether it is power or personal strength, he is not weak, and if he is good friends, he may be able to use this relationship one day.

He is not as loyal as Cheng Hongnian, and he is bent on clinging to the imperial power.

The two exchanged a brief greeting and walked towards the city government.

On the way, Lin Mang asked about the situation of the war.

Luo Shangzhi said in a deep voice: "That iron-masked master is not to be afraid, they are all a group of rabble, and I will be able to wipe them out in less than a month." ”

"It's the Governor of Zuo who is really in trouble."

Lin Mang paused and said in surprise: "He's very powerful?" ”

He didn't understand military matters, so he rarely interfered, and whatever Luo Shangzhi said, they just had to cooperate fully.

During this time, because he was in Xiangyang, he never paid attention to the war.

Listening to Luo Shangzhi's tone now, it seems that the war is not going well.

Luo Shangzhi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The army under his command is all elite and has strong combat power, and this person's arrangement is not weaker than that of the battle-hardened generals. ”

That alone is hard enough.

The southern army under his command has been fighting against the southeastern Japanese for many years and has rich combat experience.

Luo Shangzhi smiled: "But I'm very curious, how Lord Lin let those Jianghu people take the initiative to join us." ”

"I heard that Lord Lin is still the leader of this Huguang Martial Arts."

At the beginning, a group of Jianghu martial arts people entered the city one after another, saying that they wanted to assist in the battle, which almost made him mistakenly think that these Jianghu guests were spies sent by the enemy.

Luo Shangzhi's words carried a hint of ridicule.

Regarding Luo Shangzhi's half-joking words, Lin Mang was not annoyed at all.

With the status of the other party, being able to speak in such a tone really puts him on an equal footing.

Lin Mang held the knife and laughed: "It's very simple! ”

As he spoke, he lit up the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and said coldly: "Cut off all the people who are not satisfied, and the rest will naturally be served." ”

Luo Shangzhi was stunned at first, and soon praised with a smile: "Domineering!" ”

After the two entered the mansion, Luo Shangzhi's personal soldiers poured a cup of tea for the two.

Immediately, Luo Shangzhi waved his hand to signal the soldiers to leave, and said with a smile: "I heard that Lord Lin is skilled in archery, and today the courtesies are still exchanged, and Lord Lin has a thing." ”

With that, he got up and went to the inner hall, and quickly fetched a long brocade box.

"What is this?"

"Open it and take a look."

Luo Shangzhi smiled and pushed the brocade box in front of Lin Mang.

Lin Mang opened it curiously, and his eyes were attracted by the items in it for a moment.

In the brocade box, there was a huge bow with a pitch-black body, exuding an icy chill.

The moment he reached out and touched it, there was a feeling of coldness to the bone, faintly with a strong evil aura.

Overbearing!

There is a domineering artistic conception on this bow.

Luo Shangzhi said with a smile: "This is the overlord bow, and the legend is that it was used by the overlord of Chu, and it was obtained by accident when I first arrived. ”

"It is rumored that this bow is made of dark iron, weighing five hundred catties, and the bowstring is made of the tendons of the deep-sea black dragon, which is very human to pull."

Lin Mang reached out and picked up the Overlord Bow, secretly surprised.

It's so heavy!

Two fingers pulled the bowstring, and a violent humming sound faintly came from the bowstring.

In an instant, Lin Mang's whole body surged, and the meridians under his arms burst out.

The overlord bow in his hand was gradually pulled away, and the moment it was released, a faint true qi arrow was shot out.

"Boom!"

The stone table in the courtyard was shattered on the spot, and a large crater several meters in diameter was blown into the ground.

Lin Mang's eyes froze, and his eyes showed surprise.

"Good!"

Luo Shangzhi glanced at Lin Mang and laughed: "Lord Lin has a good arm!" ”

"I am known as Luo Qianjin in the army, but Lord Lin's arm strength is afraid that it will cost tens of thousands of catties."

Luo Shangzhi looked at Lin Mang in surprise.

Lin Mang put down the overlord bow in his hand and excused himself: "General Luo, this bow is too valuable." ”

There is no doubt that this bow is a treasure that can be compared to a divine weapon such as the Full Moon Scimitar.

The only flaw is that the bow is not equipped with a corresponding miss.

Ordinary arrows may not be able to withstand its power.

Luo Shangzhi shook his head and said, "Lord Lin take it." ”

"I'm not proficient in bowing, I can only say that I know a little, and besides, this bow is not for me."

With this kind of giant bow, Rao felt struggling with his strength, but on the other hand, this Brother Lin seemed very relaxed.

"Then you're welcome." Lin Mang bowed his hand and closed the brocade box with a smile.

He wondered if this Pixiu could really enhance his luck.

He's been really lucky lately.

Just thinking about it, Tang Qi outside the courtyard hurriedly broke in, his face was slightly ugly.

"My lord, a letter from Lord Yuan."

"Something's wrong!"

Lin Mang's face darkened, and he decided to retract what he had just said.
