There was some wind in the mountains, and it was a little cold when it blew on your body.

Lin Yi took a deep breath.

He looked at the pavilions in the mountains, and suddenly felt extremely sympathetic to those cultivators in the depths.

The Sword Pavilion has been closed for six years, and there are not many people left, and the Sword Pavilion is not allowed to accept apprentices, so it is already lifeless, and now it is not allowed to let people leave at all, just to let them wait for death slowly inside.

He had heard many people evaluate Emperor Xiao Yan before, Xiao Yan was thrifty, hardworking, and well-understood, so he was naturally a rare good emperor, but the biggest problem was cronyism, and he was too harsh on the enemies of the previous dynasty, and even some old ministers who he thought might be enemies.

In short, it is too good for those who are close to him, and too bad for those who have scruples about him.

If he is too good to people, it is easy for people to be arrogant and pervert the law, and if he is too bad to people, it is easy for some people who would not be his enemies to become his real enemies.

For Lin Yi, this means that many established things are more difficult to change.

Lin Yi didn't know what Qiu Xiao was like, so although he felt cruel and dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't say anything at this time.

The emperor's mandate is heaven, not to mention that sometimes this emperor, who seems wise in many places, is also extremely ruthless in many things.

"It would be a lot better if I thought about it in a different way. ”

Lin Yi didn't speak, but Qiu Xiao said softly: "If these people leave the Sword Pavilion, they may not have a good death, and it may not be a blessing to retire here, not to mention where to retire and have so many friends?

"Since they are all good people who are thinking about these fellow disciples, they should not have such an end, they should not be bound by such an imperial order and trapped here, so they should be given some choice. Lin Yi thought so in his heart, but he knew that it was not something that he and the Yulin Supervisor official could decide for the time being, so he pursed his lips tightly and did not say the words in his heart.

"Everyone can have their own opinions, but the emperor's order is the emperor's order, just like the military order in the army, if it is not a military order, if everyone has their own ideas, it is a plate of scattered sand. After Qiu Xiao said this, he found that his official rank was not as good as Lin Yi's, and it was a little too much, so he bowed apologetically and saluted, and said softly: "The relevant news of those murderers has also been transmitted to me before, but although I don't know where General Lin learned that those murderers will come to the Sword Pavilion, General Lin, you don't have to worry... Because I don't think those people can hurt the people in this Sword Pavilion. ”

"You mean, there are powerful cultivators in the Sword Pavilion?" Lin Yi didn't have much of a good impression of the Chinese army, especially those who were born in the Liangzhou Army, although this official didn't look bad, but it was impossible for him to trust him unconditionally, he looked at Qiu Xiao and said: "Among those murderers, the one who was ambushed before has reached the cultivation of the middle level of the Chengtian Realm, and the rest of those people must not be too bad, and even exceed." ”

Qiu Xiao was still humble, but he didn't even have the slightest hesitation, so he lowered his head and said softly: "Even if the Divine Mind Realm comes, it is impossible to kill these people in the Sword Pavilion, and it should not even be possible to kill one, because these people will not allow people outside to kill any of them inside." ”

Lin Yi frowned deeply.

This is definitely not the Sword Pavilion as the outside world knows.

Even if it is the Sword Pavilion that Yu Zengchen told him, there should be a big difference.

"Really?"

He rarely shows this kind of skeptical attitude towards people who don't seem bad, but he really doesn't quite believe it.

"I didn't believe it before I came, but it's true. ”

Qiu Xiao looked at Lin Yi and said softly with a wry smile, "If General Lin is still not at ease, if you are sure that those murderers will really come, you just need to wait here and see." ”

"The military order is here, so naturally we have to wait here. ”

Lin Yi thought about it, for fear that even if someone really came, but seeing that there were many cars and horses here, he was worried and didn't dare to show up, let alone enter the Sword Pavilion. So he reflexively said a few words to Yu Zengchen.

Except for the worshipper of the Qi family and all the coachmen, everyone else got out of the carriage.

Seeing that there were suddenly more people in front of him, Qiu Xiao was a little embarrassed, and said: "The grass house is a little small, I'm afraid they can only be crowded, and there is no place to lie down and sleep." ”

"No matter how crowded it is, it will not be squeezed any more than three people squeezing a carriage. ”

Qi Zhuji smiled coldly and glared at Lin Yi fiercely.

Lin Yi pretended not to see it.

The furnishings in the cottage are very simple, but they are very clean and tidy, even on a desk with old wooden boards propped up in front of the window, the paper and pen are placed in a very regular manner, and there is no mess at all.

The room was indeed a little too small, and there were no extra tables and chairs, Qiu Xiao spread out a few old straw mats, and almost covered all the open spaces in the house.

"Are you from the Liangzhou Army?"

Bai Yuelu chose an empty place to sit down, but she looked at Qiu Xiao with interest and asked softly.

"Yes. Qiu Xiao nodded very simply and directly.

Looking at these cultivators before, he was not too surprised, in his opinion, since he was dealing with that kind of murderer, of course, the military department should mobilize the powerful cultivators from nearby states and counties as much as possible.

Lin Yi is the son of Lin Wangbei, the general of the previous dynasty, and it was also a sensation to be promoted to the right cavalry general of the Tiece Army before, so he naturally knew about Lin Yi, but he initially thought that most of these cultivators were transferred from elsewhere, but looking at the conversation and expressions between these people and Lin Yi, he gradually realized that these people were just in the Tiece Army with Lin Yi, and the shock in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

It is inconceivable that a newly promoted general has no more than a few thousand people under his command, and he is not an elite border army, but he has so many cultivators to follow.

"How do you know that there are powerful cultivators among these people, have you seen them make a move?" Bai Yuelu looked at him and asked with a smile.

Qiu Xiao suddenly fell silent.

"It's inconvenient to say?" Bai Yuelu looked at him seriously.

Qiu Xiao took a deep breath, and everyone saw that his emotions seemed to fluctuate violently, and everyone was surprised why such a question as Bai Yuelu caused his emotions to fluctuate so much.

"Not here, but I've seen some of them shoot before. Qiu Xiao looked at her clear eyes and said bitterly: "In the past, our Liangzhou army fought with some of them on the battlefield. ”

"It's just that these people are not what they used to be, not only are they seriously injured and difficult to heal, but they are also in a state of mind that they have never been able to do before. Bai Yuelu shook her head, "You can't guess with your previous combat power. ”

Everyone felt that Bai Yuelu's reasoning was both simple and correct.

However, Qiu Xiao shook his head.

He smiled wryly, "At that time, it was... They have been seriously injured, but their attack is still not comparable to the cultivators of the Heaven Inheritance Realm, and their state of mind..."

Just as he said this, Shen Kun's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he said, "What sound?"

Almost at the same time, everyone heard many strange voices in the Sword Pavilion.

Some are like crisp wind chimes.

Some of them are grinding like sharp things.

Some of them are like flies flapping their wings.

"It's the sound of a sword. ”

Lin Yi heard where those voices were, and his voice unconsciously became colder.
