Chapter 44 Cangzhou of Chu State

But the sword has been raised for several years, but if you use the Thunder Summoning Talisman, it is obviously not suitable, in this humid forest, you didn't kill the enemy, but your own people were killed by thunder and lightning.

While fighting and retreating, he thought about the means to solve the problem, and the screams of many people on the Wang family's side continued to be heard in his ears.

"Forget it, let's do it quickly." Lin sighed in surprise, it's a big deal to raise a sword later.

Although he doesn't want to put himself in the position of the Wang family, but he really occupies the ancestral bronze mirror of other people, if he doesn't come to the rescue at this time, when they are really dead, where will his conscience be placed? If this really breeds demons in the heart, how can you get through it?

It's one last favor.

Perhaps, this sword can deter them for a long time, or maybe it can allow the Wang family to truly survive this crisis?

He slowly pulled out the sword at his waist and removed the strip of cloth.

Losing the cover of the strip of cloth, the blade of the sword shook in his hand.

It seems to be excited, and it seems to be happy.

A long-standing aura slowly emanated from the sword, like a dragon that had been dormant for a long time, suddenly blooming with light, vicious claws, and roaring.

The trees in the forest seemed to be trembling faintly, and even the skin of the dead man's face twitched inadvertently.

The mind is one, and the sword is one.

"Squire!"

Lin let out a deep sigh in shock, and slowly swung his sword, and an invisible sword aura locked on the dead man's face.

The dead man's face wanted to escape, but he seemed to be half a beat slower, and only made a "snort" sound, his chest was slashed by an invisible sword qi, and a black blood spurted out of the wound, and the whole person smashed on the tree behind him, only to hear a click, and the giant tree surrounded by the two broke on the spot.

"Hmm!"

There was a muffled hum not far from the forest, not like a male voice, but like a female voice.

Lin frowned, but saw that the man who had fallen the tree did not lose consciousness, but jumped up from the ground, and fled towards the depths of the forest without a pause.

In the blink of an eye, he fled without a trace.

Lin Jingzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and unhurriedly took out the spirit gathering talisman from his sleeve, held it in his palm, and absorbed the spiritual energy.

The sword just now almost emptied the aura in his body.

After resting for a while, he raised his feet and returned to the Wang battlefield.

At the moment when the dead-faced man fled, the group of people who were sneaking up on the Wang clan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly left the Wang clan and retreated towards the forest behind.

Gu Changshou and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked up, they saw the young Taoist who came from the forest.

"Lin Zhenren." Gu Changshou said and greeted him.

"Leave me alone, go see them."

"Okay."

In this sneak attack, more than 40 people died on Wang's side, and most of the dead were guards, and then women and children.

Wang Yi's brother also died in this sneak attack because he died protecting Wang Yi.

Wang Yi also became sullen in this blow, and he instantly aged a lot.

Although his younger brother has little real power in the Wang family, he is also one of the main veins.

The mighty team of 100 people is now less than 40 people left.

After resting for a long time, he discarded several carriages, took only silver taels and food, and set out on his way.

When night fell, I walked out of the forest and into a mountain path.

The trail is extremely wide and suitable for galloping horses.

Always worried that the group in the forest would chase after him, Gu Changshou discussed with Wang Yi and decided to give up rest for the time being, and the whole time was in the carriage or on horseback, galloping towards the mountain road ahead.

Or because of the loss of many people, and now the number of horses is sufficient, even the servants and maids can ride in the carriage.

Three days later, the team finally arrived at the second city, "Dengfeng Town".

They bought a new batch of foals and replaced the carriages in the town.

Then he hired more than a dozen bodyguards, rested for a few days, and then returned to the road.

A little more than a month later, they came to another city, and they didn't stop, just bought some of the things they needed and got back on their way.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and the huge Cangzhou City has appeared in sight, although it is far away, it is still extremely shocking visually.

In the past few months, the road has been peaceful, and I have never encountered the so-called enemies before.

Wang Yi, Gu Changshou and others naturally knew that under the peace of this road, they were deterred by the young Taoist leader to get the peace.

They may not have seen exactly how he used that sword that day, but when they passed by there, they saw the towering tree that had been cut by the sword qi.

They admired him, but they also wanted to win him over, but he still rejected him by implicit means.

Cangzhou City has arrived, and it is time for him to leave.

"Nephew Lin, why don't you really go into the palace with me?"

"No, Uncle Wang, I still have friends waiting for me, I'll just stay with him."

"Okay." Wang Yi didn't stay either.

However, Wang Luoyi stood up decisively and mustered up the courage to ask him, "Can we still meet in the future?" ”

Lin replied to her, "Maybe, maybe not." ”

"Will it or won't?" Wang Luoyi grabbed the corner of his clothes, his face full of doubts.

"Let it be." Lin said lightly, and then left.

"Daddy." Wang Luoyi was a little sad, leaning on Wang Yi's shoulder and crying: "Daddy, my daughter is not ugly, why doesn't he like his daughter?" ”

These shy words are generally difficult to come out of the mouth of this daughter, and she said it at this time, which proves that she is tempted.

"You are not people on the same road, besides, his heart is not in this mortal world, one day, he will also appear in this play after our tea and dinner, and it is uncertain that he and your eldest brother will become the protagonist in that play."

"Is the practice really that good? abandoned family affection, broke off love, and lived at all. ”

"You don't understand, you'll know when you're older." Wang Yi touched her head and said.

"Roy is not small."

"Oh, since you're not young, how about Daddy arrange another family affair for you?" Wang Yi always felt that if she didn't arrange a marriage, I was afraid that she would be trapped in Nephew Lin for the rest of her life and couldn't extricate herself.

"Don't." Wang Luoyi blushed and refused.

"You kid, how did you learn to say no in the first place?" Wang Yi was stunned for a long time, then smiled bitterly, and secretly said in his heart, this nephew Lin really kidnapped his daughter.

"Dad, don't force your sister to marry." Wang Shiliang came over at this time and grabbed his sister's hand and said, "It's a big deal that when the two of you grow old together, Xiaoliang will raise you together." ”

"You kid." Wang Yi shook his head helplessly, their mother died early, and the burden of taking care of the child fell on him, but fortunately, he had been dismissed for ten years before he had time to be by their side.

And Xiaoli, who was abandoned in the corner, was lonely, she was a maid with no identity after all, so she naturally wouldn't attract the attention of others...

Cangzhou City is close to mountains and rivers, geographical advantages, there are canals in front, hills in the back, it is an easy to defend and difficult to attack capital.

The castle was built along the canal and had four gates, divided into south, east and west.

The city is surrounded by a high city wall, which is ten zhang high and majestic.

Between Cangzhou City and the canal, there is a huge bridge, which rises continuously, which is the only way to connect Cangzhou City to the other end of the canal.

Secondly, there is another bridge, which connects the city gate to the north and the canal, but that bridge has not been repaired for a long time and has long been forgotten.

This bridge connecting the east gate of Cangzhou City has a very interesting name, and this name is called Mowen Bridge.

Lin walked on the edge of the Mowen Bridge, looking down at the riverside under the bridge.

On the river, there are more than a dozen sailing ships, both merchant and private.

The canal and the Cangzhou city are 30 zhang away, and the surging river is endless.

If you don't want to travel by land, it's also fun to take a boat by water.

The east gate of Cangzhou City is obviously several zhang higher than the other gates, and the city gate is extremely spacious, and there are hundreds of guards.

Compared with Yelou Town, it is a small fuss, and a big deal is a big deal.

The main roads and side roads in the city are paved with blue stones, and even if the carriage is driving on it, it is difficult to see even a trace of dust with the naked eye.

On the side streets, it is bustling, pedestrians, hawkers, and there are countless people.

Lin found a grocery store and bought rune paper and cinnabar, and then went to an armory shop to buy a steel sword.

Subsequently, on the side road of the main city, I found an "inn".

I paid for 10 days and moved in.

He had to redraw the talisman this time, after all, he had finally gotten the blood from the dead man's face.

He didn't know if the black blood could be painted into a talisman, so he wanted to experiment with it.

In the first experiment, almost two-tenths of the blood was discarded, and only then was it drawn into a spirit gathering talisman.

Some black light appeared in the Spirit Gathering Talisman, which made him frown.

The Spirit Gathering Talisman is the talisman he is most familiar with, and he still has to scrap two-tenths of the black blood to draw one, doesn't it mean that these black blood can only be drawn into about three talismans?

This is a bit more than worth the loss, so he can't help but think for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, people mean gold, will these black blood only be suitable for painting gold runes?

Thinking of this, he re-painted the golden escape talisman.

Three days have passed, and he really has three more golden escape talismans in his hand, and he is quite satisfied with this result.

Cangzhou City, Chaotian Palace, is the place where the courtiers face the Son of Heaven.

On this day, all the officials of the Wen Dynasty stood in the palace, witnessing Wang Yi directly scolding the prime minister, claiming that he was incompetent, and facing the national teacher, claiming that he was unable and excessive.

But the Son of Heaven sat on the top seat, looking at the two of them, not angry, nor annoyed, but thoughtful.

The Son of Heaven is a fat man, with a blank beard at the corner of his mouth, a pale face, and fifty years old.

As soon as Wang Yi resumed his position as the Grand Master, he dared to directly scold the hundred officials of the Wen Dynasty, which surprised him, even if he retired for ten years, he still did not lose the kind of temperament that he had back then.

The Son of Heaven took a fancy to him, so he summoned him back and became an official in the court, in order to suppress the arrogance of today's national teachers and prime ministers.

What the Son of Heaven does is the art of weighing, and their life and death are naturally in their own thoughts.

But when he saw that they were stirring up, the Son of Heaven cleared his throat and stopped them from continuing to make noise, and said, "Zhong Aiqing, please calm down and listen to your words." ”

The Son of Heaven has spoken, and the courtiers naturally dare not say much.

"I have decided to reopen a competition, summon the talented people of the Chu State, and have five titles, and the winner will be the left arm and right arm of the national teacher, and help the national teacher come up with a way to fight against the demon law of the Song State as soon as possible."

"Zhong Aiqing, what do you think?"

"The minister has no opinion." The national teacher shouted at the beginning, and the prime minister naturally brought his own people to echo at the same time.

"Since you have no opinion, then let's retreat." The Son of Heaven was very satisfied with this decision.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

At this time, the voice of the Taishi sounded, which made the Son of Heaven, who was thinking of going back and hugging the newly entered concubine to sleep for a while, frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Wang Aiqing, what else do you have to do?" ”

"The minister thinks that the position of this national teacher must also be contested, after all, those who are capable are competent, how can they allow some people with half a bucket of water to sit for a long time and not do things."

The Son of Heaven suddenly felt reasonable, and remembered that the concubine surnamed Wang was still waiting for him to go back to spoil him, how could he waste time here, so he said, "Yes." ”
