Xu Lin rode at the head of Shuofang City, humming comfortably: "Maybe there are people on the city wall of Xi'an who swear not to distinguish ......."

Holding this book in his hand, it is Zhao Erye who doesn't know where to get him the "Sixteen Emperors of the Ghost Fang Demon Clan", it can be seen from the records in the book that when the Ghost Fang Demon Clan rose, it was when the Wuyang Dynasty was founded, and it developed for two hundred years, encroaching on small countries, and had a big territory, no one knows, no one knows how big it is, no one has a map of the Ghost Fang Demon Clan, but you can see the fierceness of the Demon Clan, because there is a sentence in the "Benji", "From the king down, salty and meaty, clothed in leather, and covered with fur." The strong eat fat, and the old eat the rest. Noble and strong, cheap and old. When his father dies, his wife and his stepmother; When a brother dies, he takes his wife. ”

This is the description of the Huns in the "Historical Records", which is reduced to four words, which is the law of the jungle.

With such a urinous nation, the emperor's strategy of exterminating them was right.

Xu Lin knew that it was only a few days before the next round of attacks of the Demon Fang Demon Clan, and they would definitely not give up after slaughtering five thousand of them last time.

"Zhang Mingyue, there is only one route for the ghost people to rob our Shuofang City, that is, from Qinglong Snow Mountain to the gate of our Shuofang City, right?"

Zhang Mingyue has become Xu Lin's most loyal little follower, as long as Xu Lin goes out, he will carry his bag and lead the horse, and bring a bunch of dog-legged people to be arrogant, hearing Xu Lin's question, he immediately became low-browed and pleasing to the eyes, and said: "Back to the prince, they all go back to this road." ”

Xu Lin snorted lightly and said to himself: "The invasion of foreign races in the past dynasties all went to the three eastern provinces, why? They are familiar with this road, and if they fall a big heel, they will be honest. ”

Zhang Mingyue naturally didn't understand, Xu Lin asked him to prepare saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur, but he understood that these were the most basic materials for striking iron and forging blades, and Shuofang City had a lot of them.

Xu Lin has no time to take care of his position in the whirlpool of power in the imperial court, protecting the country and defending the people is what he wants to do now, he will not be stupid enough to tell himself what merits and demerits will be commented on by future generations, the reason why he does not go to his heart is that he is confident, these little garbage in the court can't hurt him in the slightest, what is the root of the feudal society? It's the power of the military.

Xu Lin looked at Qinglong Snow Mountain from afar and muttered: "Zhang Mingyue, although I am now the crown prince, the water above the court is too deep, I have to have my own people, understand?" ”

Zhang Mingyue is a militant and has a warm blood, but he is not stupid, not only is he not stupid, but he is very smart, after all, he has apprenticed to the teacher, he immediately heard the meaning of the prince's words, Zhang Mingyue is from the common people, if he can follow the prince, if the prince can be the emperor in the future, he can enter the court as an official, even if he can't fight the traitors in the court, even if he dies in battle, he can also gild the family.

Otherwise, he would only be a criminal in this life.

Zhang Mingyue said: "Your Highness, don't say anything, just watch me behave." ”

Zhang Mingyue immediately took his brother to prepare the materials Xu Lin needed, Xu Lin still sat at the head of the city, looked into the distance silently, took out a handful of Ganoderma lucidum pills from his clothes pocket, and stuffed one into his mouth after a while, this is a snack made by Zhao Erye for him, sweet and silky, he likes this aroma.

Thousands of kilometers away in the capital, Emperor Xu Qilin has begun to solve Xu Lin's cronies, tiger poison does not eat children is true, but this is only applicable to the basic morality of the common people, the emperor in order to ensure the majesty of the royal family, not only to let Xu Lin "die well", but also to make a righteous image of the royal family to kill relatives.

After Queen Nangong Yuting returned to the Northeast Army, it rained heavily in the capital, thundering all over the sky, and the whole capital was spreading, this heavy rain was about to collapse the moat embankment, God was going to accept people, and people were panicking. On a thunderous night, the Qintian Eunuch hurriedly entered the palace to meet the emperor, and he told the emperor that there was an abnormality in Taiweiyuan and heavy rain from the sky because the prince's east palace was abnormal.

As a result, there were rumors in the court and the opposition, and quietly spread to the crown prince Xu Lin, and a political tide caused by celestial phenomena began to surge, but who could have known that this rumor came from the emperor.

The national teacher Zhou Yun pretended to pray to the heavens several times, and finally under the instruction of the angry emperor, he arrested all the team of Xu Lin in the East Palace, and took off all their crown belts, and at noon, the 103 eunuchs and 72 palace maids of the East Palace of the Prince were all taken to the noon gate, and in the torrential rain, 175 people knelt and trembled.

"By order, I'll ask you again!" Zhou Yun was dressed in a Taoist robe, stood in front of 175 people, and said sharply: "Has the prince been in quiet contact with the Demon Clan of the Ghost Fang recently, and has he been against it?" ”

The prince's old butler looked at the heavy rain in the air and said: "I have already said that His Royal Highness the prince is loyal to the Wuyang Dynasty, and there is no place to be sorry for the court. ”

"Alas!" Zhou Yun let out a long sigh, although the voice was very small, but the sound was full of terror, he gave a look to a few eunuchs around him, those eunuchs lifted the court staff and quickly stepped forward, there was no waste in the court of the Wuyang Dynasty, especially the eunuchs, who were castrated into the palace from a young age, and the children's skills they practiced were all first-class masters, a court staff picked a person into the air, and fell to the ground fiercely, the whole person lay on the bluestone ground, and immediately a eunuch stepped on his back, and then, raised his head and set his eyes on the body of the national teacher Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun hesitated for a moment, never gave the order for execution, came to the front of the old housekeeper of the Prince Xu Lindong Palace, slowly sank down, and said: "You are a smart person, you should know what Your Majesty means, one hundred and seventy-five people are waiting for you to live, can it be said that one hundred and seventy-five lives are not as good as the lives of his six princes?" ”

Blood was already spilling from the old butler's mouth, and he said: "The sixth prince is just a weak character, and he is definitely not a great traitor, Your Majesty must have other ways to fulfill his long-cherished wish!" ”

Zhou Yun's eyes were full of disappointment, he flicked his sleeves, turned to leave, and the eunuchs all got the signal of the death staff, closed their eyes, and hit everyone in the prince's East Palace with the court staff in their hands.

On this night, all the retainers of the Prince's East Palace were beaten to death by Zhou Yun's order, and the crime was that the prince Xu Lin colluded with the Ghost Fang Demon Clan and lost the 100,000 troops of the Wuyang Dynasty, and everyone in the Prince's East Palace committed the crime of harboring, and what was surprising was that these one hundred and seventy-five people did not make a shout.

Zhou Yun looked at the more than one hundred and seventy corpses, sighed, got up and said, "Collect the corpses!" ”

The cold moonlight shone miserably over the palace, looking coldly at this imperial city the colder it was, the better the life of the people would be.

Suddenly, Zhou Yun frowned and said, "No, there is one less corpse, go and chase it!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, more than 170 eunuchs carried the court staff and flew to the roof, and a few shuttles disappeared.

That night, the Prince's East Palace was raided, and of course Zhou Yun didn't find anything, but in the end, it is unknown whether there is any evidence.

At this moment, Xu Lin locked himself in the old shopkeeper's room, grinded saltpeter charcoal and sulfur into powder by himself, stirred it with eggs and sugar, poured it into a bamboo tube that had been plugged into the fire twist, sealed it with cement, and after drying, it became a powerful marijuana thunderbolt, Xu Lin played with this thing out of the door and out of the city, Zhang Mingyue naturally followed.

At this time, the foot of the Qinglong Snow Mountain was dark and dreary, and there was no starlight, and I don't know where a little flash of light printed the white snow on the snow mountain, but I could see some things clearly.

Zhang Mingyue yawned, weakly led a scimitar, and said, "Your Highness, go back, this is too panicked, and if you meet a few ghost people, we will not be enough to stuff people's teeth." ”

Xu Lin glanced at him: "Don't worry, even if it is thousands of troops, His Highness can take you back!" ”

Zhang Mingyue craned his neck and asked, "Your Highness, what are we going to do?" ”

"His Highness will take you to find an artifact against the ghost people!" As he spoke, Xu Lin saw a boulder and muttered, "This is suitable!" ”

Zhang Mingyue lay on the boulder, looked left and right, looked into a hole in the stone, and muttered in a low voice: "This is an artifact to deal with the ghost people?" ”

Xu Lin stuffed the marijuana thunderbolt in his hand into the ground of the boulder, blew the fire fold, lit the fire twist, and pulled Zhang Mingyue to run back, Zhang Mingyue was very reluctant, turned back three times one step at a time, and wondered what Xu Lin was doing.

"I'm a grass mud horse, let you run, you look at a feather?" Xu Lin scolded and pulled Zhang Mingyue into a big pit, only to show his head, there was a loud "boom", after the firelight, the air was romantic, and the boulder was blown into a pile of debris, flying around like bullets.

Zhang Mingyue's face turned green, and he said, "This, this is the artifact of His Royal Highness the Prince?" Isn't this the long-lost mastery of Taiji Mountain, the secret of heaven and earth? ”

Xu Lin was very satisfied with the power of this marijuana thunderbolt, the power was comparable to the fragmentation grenade, Xu Lin said happily: "Heaven and earth fire trick? Fart, this is Lao Tzu's black technology, how about Lao Tzu use this to fight the demon clan? ”

Zhang Mingyue palpitated and said, "Isn't this broken?" ”

Xu Lin happily patted Zhang Mingyue's shoulder and said, "Go back!" ”

Zhang Mingyue's eyes looking at Xu Lin at this moment were full of awe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was too strong.

And just as the two were about to return, Xu Lin suddenly stopped, his eyes became sharp, he pulled out a short knife with his backhand, and stared around.

In the next second, the sword qi was shining, a person rushed out of the darkness, the long sword with a rainbow light, pierced Xu Lin's throat, there were still more than a dozen zhang away, Xu Lin felt suffocation and death, the strength of the cultivator was far beyond his imagination, if there was no change now, then his little life would be explained here.

Seeing that the long sword was still ten zhang away from Xu Lin, a person came from the side, holding a spear like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and almost instantly, the tip of the spear hit the swordsman's sword.

The sword air gun collided, and the two people ejected in an instant, and the air waves were full of brilliance, and the shock wave was comparable to the power of the hemp thunder just now.

The situation is clear, there are people who want to kill themselves, and there are people who want to protect themselves.

Their strength seems to be about the same, so what are you afraid of?

Xu Lin looked at these two people with interest and said, "This old man who protects me with a spear looks a little familiar?" ”

Zhang Mingyue said: "Isn't this the old man who flew down from the top of the building?" Looks like you're one of your own! ”

Xu Lin raised his chin, squinted at him, and said, "Your own people? It's your own person to help you fight? Young man, you are too naïve, don't you feel that since I came, Shuofang City has been in a strange place? The ones who want me to die are not necessarily bad people, and the ones who want me to live are not necessarily good people! ”

Zhang Mingyue shuddered for a moment and said, "It's terrible! ”

Xu Linle said: "Really? I also think it's scary, but all the fear comes from the lack of firepower, let's go, let them fight, let's go back and cultivate our Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Technique! ”

Before Zhang Mingyue could react, Xu Lin had already walked away, Zhang Mingyue took a few steps to follow, and said, "Your Highness, it's not the thunder and the earth, it's the thunder and the earth." ”

But after a few steps, Xu Lin ran back and shouted: "Sima Xiang, Lao Tzu asked you to go to the Western Route Army to invite some troops, you hurry up, that person wants to kill me and let him kill him, you must know who he is, I want to die today, you just tell the world that whoever killed me will not be enough, how big is it?" At the moment of the great enemy, your own people are fighting around, do you want to force your face? ”

As soon as Xu Lin spoke, the faces of the two people who were frantically attacking turned green......
