At night, Jiankang City was shrouded in a layer of clouds, and before the curfew arrived, every household had already turned off its lights and closed its doors.

In the corner of the wine shop, the shopkeeper's five-year-old child was splashing and rolling on the ground, "I don't care, I don't care, I want to eat the sugar gourd of Liu Mazi's family in the west of the city." "Tears and snot are smuggled faces, and there is a lot of momentum that my father will play tricks if he doesn't buy it.

The shopkeeper blew his beard and glared, ignoring it, and the abacus in his hand crackled. The proprietress in the jinghai cloth skirt felt sorry for the child, and said angrily: "The west of the city is not far from here, and it will only take three quarters of an hour for you to let the little maid drive the carriage, how can you become so stingy." ”

"You mother-in-law know very well, there has been no trouble in the west of the city recently, you count how many missing people you have heard, not to mention the Dali Temple for investigation on the record. I heard that those who were found were all ulcerated and had incomplete limbs, child, do you still dare to go? ”

Recently, there have been a number of strange cases in the west of the city, the noise is boiling, the people have heard of it, the child was frightened by the appearance of the shopkeeper with teeth and claws, the proprietress stood aside and did not dare to persuade more, the shopkeeper sighed leisurely, now everyone is afraid to go out in danger, and his wine shop is becoming more and more bleak.

In a dimly lit hall, several people who looked like Taoist priests sat around a Dan furnace, and Liu Yu, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat on a soft couch, with an impetuous and yin spirit, constantly urging loudly.

"Report to the emperor, this zombie needs to borrow the power of the brilliance of Chanjuan between heaven and earth to yin and softness, and the body of the dead is the best in the original body, and the soul can be calcined in the fire of this Dan furnace for 7749 days before it can become an indestructible Yin soldier. It has only been more than 20 days, and I ask the emperor to wait patiently to verify the truth of what Lao Tao said. "Lao Dao's sideburns are white, his silver beard is fluttering, and he looks like a fairy wind and bones, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that he has a long and narrow triangle, and his eyes are shining with shrewd light.

Liu Yu frowned, extremely dissatisfied with his answer, recently the voice in the royal city has become louder and louder, saying that he was born with a black dragon summons, with an unknown birth, after ascending the throne, strange things happened one after another, rumors spread, protest folds were handed to him, and he was persuaded to retreat.

Just when he was worried about this, the old man in front of him came with his disciple riding a yellow crane, claiming to be the master of Maoshan Li Mubai, saying that he was pinching his fingers, and the Son of Heaven was in trouble, so he specially came here to contribute to him. The fairy spirit fluttered, making the young man look straight.

A group of rotten old things in the court bullied him when he was young and weak, which would be helped by the masters, and he had his own plans to achieve a great career. Liu Yu's eyes were full of gloom, and the flames of hatred burned, "Master, you must refine the Yin soldiers for me in fifteen days, and then I will have to help the Northern Wei Dynasty." And the resurrection you promised my queen must not be forgotten, and when it is done, the widow will have a great reward. ”

On the fifteenth, he was still too anxious, but Li Mubai was not a fool, he saw the skeleton of the woman placed in the hall early in the morning, and only made a little bit of a touch to the eunuch before he understood the whole story. It turned out that this woman was a daughter of the Jiang family, and she was separated from His Majesty's Yin and Yang during the change of Jiankang, and since then it has become His Majesty's obsession. After careful consideration, this Jiang girl died strangely, looking at her body, it was like a soul being forcibly withdrawn, losing seven souls and six souls, how easy it is to be resurrected, I can't imagine that the mediocre and cruel young emperor has such a soft intestine. Lao Dao's face was not emotional, but his heart was also irritable because of the urging of the young emperor Liu Yu. "Your Majesty, in this way, the quality of the Yin soldiers will be greatly reduced, and we must achieve a breakthrough in quantity." In fact, it is not, recent failures have occurred from time to time, zombies have left at night, and the number of things he can control is getting smaller and smaller, so in order to avoid the suspicion of the new emperor, he casually found an excuse.

Young Emperor Liu Yu was shocked, "The hundreds of felons in the heavenly prison have all been refined? "That's hundreds of lives, and they've been used up so quickly.

Lao Dao's face did not change, "Your Majesty, it is better to prepare in advance for the sudden change." ”

Liu Yu's face was clouded, and he kept pacing in place and thinking, he was now constrained by Ruan Tenants everywhere, and he didn't have much power at hand, and his actions were too big to let him know about things and interfere with his plans.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, "By the way, when I write a secret letter to Xiao Daocheng, isn't he a general, he is leading troops to fight recently, I asked him to bring me some corpses." "Xiao Daocheng and Ruan Dianfu fought openly and secretly in the court, and the two fought separately, if he approached one side, Ruan Dianfu would not interfere arbitrarily.

Liu Yu patted his Yuguan, annoyed that he had ignored Xiao Daocheng's strength for a long time, and hurriedly ordered his personal father-in-law to go to the treasury to support his treasures to send to Xiao Daocheng, and asked him to help him by the way.

The matter of the Yin Soldier was originally a taboo, and it was not easy for too many people to know, Li Mubai wanted to persuade one or two, but Liu Yu had his own opinions, so he had no choice but to give up.

The glazed tiles of the eaves were loose, making a slight sound, Li Mubai was shocked that someone was eavesdropping, and threw out a yin and yang fan to find out the details of the other party. The spiritual power is like the wind, although the dark one dodges and comes, the corner of the cloth is still cut off, falling with the wind, and falling in the night.

Li Mubai used his internal force, withdrew the fan, and found that the fan seemed to be contaminated with other people's true qi, he stared at him silently, Liu Yu noticed that his face was wrong, and asked him if there was anything wrong.

"All right, Your Majesty." It's just a trick of the yellow-haired boy, don't want to interfere with his plans, Li Mubai's eyes darkened.

Wang Jing was dressed in masked black, and his toes kept dropping at the corners of the eaves in Jiankang City, and finally landed at Xiao Daocheng's mansion.

He covered his chest, still a little frightened, the old man didn't know the depth of the line, the wind brought out by a fan could shake his chest, and the internal strength was amazing.

The move is treacherous, the fan is made of black wood carving as a curved bow, the fan surface is as thin as a cicada's wings, and the black air is swirling, Wang Jingze knows this thing, it is a yin and yang fan from the netherworld, but the old Dao eyebrows and eyes are shining, it looks like a fairy wind and bones, not like a person from the demon world, it is really a demon Dao!

Wang Jingze respectfully knelt on one knee and reported the situation to Xiao Daocheng one by one, "General, Your Majesty colluded with the Demon Dao and actually cultivated Yin soldiers in the palace. ”

Xiao Daocheng was horrified in his heart, when did Liu's child be so bold and would deal with something as filthy as the Yin Soldier.

"Do you find out what his purpose is?" Xiao Daocheng stood with his hands in his hands, frowning like the thick eyebrows of a small mountain.

"General Hui, he wants to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty in half a month." Wang Jingze carefully recalled the content of the conversation between the two and replied.

Northern wei dynasty? Did he really think that after reading two pages of the war book, he would be able to recover the north? Xiao Daocheng is really beyond his strength.

"General, there is another matter, they want to ask you for the corpses of people who are dying on the battlefield to refine zombies." Wang Jingze's eyes were red with anger, this is really a careless approach to people's lives, and he is not given a way to live at all.

"Why, the dying man?" When Xiao Daocheng heard this, the wolf in his hand was stunned, and a cloud of marks was smeared on the rice paper.

"That old Taoist said, only in this way can the Yin soldiers refined by the souls of the living dead be the most powerful." The tone was indignant, making it clear that he didn't believe what the old Taoist said.

The dying person is also a human life, survive, put one party into production, and then support himself, which is undoubtedly a great honor for the soldiers who fight for the country on the battlefield and defend the country.

Liu Yu did this, which invisibly harmed their interests, and if it spread, I don't know how many soldiers will be cold.

Over the years since Liu Yu ascended the throne, many new decrees and new laws have been promulgated, but there are indeed very few effective ones.

Xiao Daocheng knew that the young emperor was eager to ascend the throne, and he was eager to do something to prove that he had already been able to monopolize power in the court, and he no longer needed these old guys to dictate him, but Xiao Daocheng thought that he was really stupid to play this move.

He didn't speak for a long time, Wang Jingze seemed to see through his thoughts, and knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, "General, ministers and other 400,000 brothers are behind you to support you, and I implore you to consider a new policy, overthrow tyranny, and restore the holy world to a clear state." ”

Xiao Daocheng hit an internal force, wrapped his arms around Wang Jingze's neck, and didn't let him say more, "Hugh is talking nonsense, do you know that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if you say such things, you will be punished by the nine clans." ”

Wang Jingze has followed him in the army for many years, and the friendship between the two is solid, but it is the first time that he has made a red face. After Xiao Daocheng let go, Wang Jingze held his breath, blushed and continued to kowtow a few times to show what he meant.

When he stepped back, Xiao Daocheng fell heavily on the soft chair, and there was a storm in his mind. For the sake of the world, why can't he Xiao Daocheng!

Murong Zheng secretly sneaked back to Jiankang City in the Southern Dynasty, he came this time to bring a lot of elite masters of the Murong family, collecting news of Tao Hongjing, and when he was caught, the power of the green dragon on his body would definitely be collected by him.

But recently, the atmosphere in Jiankang City is very different from his past, and people are in a hurry in the bustle, and they go home after buying their own things in a hurry, and they don't go back to Jinling to wander around.

And the difference in time period is particularly obvious, when the noon sun is in full bloom, the crowd is the most crowded, and there is no one in the evening and morning, Murong Zheng observed for a few days, and specially picked a big noon to turn into the teahouse to inquire about the news.

The storyteller in the teahouse spat and flew, "That man is lying on the corner of the street, listening to the blue-faced fanged monster pierce his veins with its fangs, and you look closely, there is black gas around the wound, and the shadow of the black dragon looms, similar to the green dragon on the person above." He stroked his beard and mysteriously pointed in the direction of the palace.

Murong Zheng came in halfway, and when he heard that the matter was just a rough idea, he took out a piece of broken gold and put it on the table, and gave the little servant some two silver ingots, and asked him to call the storyteller to come up and tell him again.

When the storyteller came up and saw the gold, his eyes were about to straighten, and he raised his mouth to spit Xingzi flew straight out, Murong Zheng stretched out his hand and motioned for him to stop.

"Which one are you talking about?" Murong Zheng asked sharply.

When the storyteller heard this, he leaned closer and lowered his voice, "Back to the guest officer, it is naturally the person who lives in the sky, this matter is now boiling in the major teahouses, and it is rumored that someone has seen the person who died unexpectedly. "At the end, there was another blessing.

Murong Zheng snorted coldly, this person knows that he is clumsy, and there are many exaggerated elements in folk storytelling, at this time he naturally doesn't believe it in his heart, but since rumors have spread, that is, there is no wind and no waves, he doesn't mind adding to the fire, making the words of the people more popular, until the sky hears, Jiankang City is in chaos, and the time has come, he quietly tasted tea, thinking to himself.
