Lin Qing hurriedly led Mo Sanniang, Sima Yan and all the members of "Yulin Hall" to welcome the Kan family and his son into the inner hall. Visit and download the txt novel

Now that Kan Biao's injury was completely healed, Lin Qing was overjoyed and took out five top-quality magic weapon-level flying swords that he had obtained from Wu Junhui, a disciple of the "Tianjian Sect", and gave them to Kan Fu and others.

What he gave to Kan Biao was the "Golden Light Sword" used by Liu Wuzhong, a disciple of the "Tianjian Sect". This flying sword was the best quality among the flying swords Lin Qing had obtained. Kan Biao couldn't hold it in his hand.

I couldn't stop playing with it, I was so happy.

Now it is obvious that the Kan family and his son still need time to become a real fighting force, but what Lin Qing values ​​​​more is Kan Zhan's rich experience. He only needs a little guidance to improve the cultivation of the monks in "Yulin Hall".

will be of great help.

Lin Qing immediately announced that he would appoint Kan Zhan as the first "servant" of the Lin family, who would be responsible for guiding and teaching the monks under him.

Lin Qing didn't pay too much attention to the strange looks from his monks. He believed that as time goes by, everyone will respect Kan Zhan more and more.

While distributing flying swords to Kan and his son, Lin Qing suddenly remembered the gift he had prepared for Yao Anshi, so he took out the storage bag containing Wu Junhui's weapon refining materials and gave it directly to Yao Anshi.

Yao Anshi checked it with his spiritual consciousness and immediately showed a look of joy. For him who regards weapon refining as life, he was naturally very happy to see those high-quality weapon refining materials.

Lin chuckled and said:

"An Shi, don't be too impatient to be happy. Take out the jade slips of divine knowledge inside and have a look."

Yao Anshi, who was a little confused, followed the instructions and immediately showed an expression of ecstasy on his face. These skills of refining flying swords from simple to advanced were exactly what he lacked. He said with trembling words:

"Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, Anshi will live up to your trust and live up to your trust!"

After a while, Yao Anshi took out the big red gourd with some confusion. He poured out the yellow-red elixir the size of a pigeon egg and looked at it, then asked:

"My lord, what does this elixir do?"

Kan Zhan, who was sitting down before Lin Qing, guessed that Lin Qing had robbed a disciple of the "Sword Sect" from the moment he saw those flying swords, but it was just not convenient to ask in front of so many people.

When he saw Yao Anshi asking, he reached out and took the two pills. After smelling them, he said affirmatively:

"This is the secret fire elixir of the 'Tianjian Sect'. It is specially used to increase the temperature of the furnace fire when refining swords. It can increase the temperature of the furnace fire by about 40%."

"Haha, this is the good thing I urgently need for refining. We don't have the Earth's Flame Vein here, and the temperature of the refining furnace is always not satisfactory. With this fire elixir, the firepower of the refining furnace can be equivalent to that of ordinary

The Earth's Fire Flame Vein is here!" Yao Anshi was so excited that he almost danced.

Lin Qing was also amused by the naivety of his cheap father-in-law and asked with a smile:

"It's too early for An Shimo to get excited. This 'Fire Pill' is just such a gourd. How can it be enough for you?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'll go find that guy who knows how to make elixirs. He will definitely be able to imitate them. I know that their family used to make fake elixirs to earn spiritual stones. This kind of 'fire elixir'

The materials and craftsmanship should be very simple, he can definitely imitate it." Yao Anshi actually didn't want to wait for a moment, he grabbed the storage bag in one hand and a few "Fire Pills" in the other and ran out.

.

The guy who made alchemy he was talking about was a member of the Yuanjiabao affiliated family, named Zhang Hengshui. Lin Qingdao had heard that this person could refine several low-level elixirs for treating trauma, but he didn't know this

People actually have this kind of "imitation" talent. If he can really imitate the "Fire Pill", he can be given more opportunities to practice it in the future.

※※※※※※

In the endless wilderness, a large army is rumbling, raising dust and covering the sky. From a distance, it looks like a yellow dragon walking close to the ground!

In the middle of the army, a huge caravan, two feet wide and ten feet long, was moving slowly. Even though twenty oxen were used to pull it, the huge car still made the speed very slow.

Among the flags fluttering in the wind around the caravan, a yellow dragon flag was particularly prominent, indicating that the person riding in the caravan was actually Tie Wuxuan, the emperor of the late Zhao Kingdom!

At this time, Tie Wuxuan was sitting in a caravan with a golden helmet and gold armor, and several generals who accompanied him were kneeling in front of him, respectfully waiting for orders.

When the Zhenling Sect envoys went to Gaoyang City, Tie Wuxuan had already arrived at the gathering place of Hou Zhao's 100,000 troops. His original intention was to mobilize the army and boost their morale before returning to the capital to wait for the good news.

However, the information the messenger brought back made him furious and changed his original mind.

For Tie Wuxuan, whether it was Lin Qing's tough attitude, the support shown by the people of the "Worry-free Leader", or even the so-called "miracle", they were all unbearable.

After hearing that General Lin Qing personally led the troops to fight against the enemy, Tie Wuxuan immediately decided to lead the army to conquer the "Worry-free Territory" with an army of 100,000 people.

"How far are we from Baiyi City?" Tie Wuxuan looked at the map on the imperial desk in front of him and asked majestically.

This Baiyi City is the closest city to the Hou Zhao Kingdom among the five cities in the "Worry-free Territory", and the area close to the Hou Zhao Kingdom is fertile and flat, and there is no danger to defend it. Therefore, the generals accompanying the army of the Later Zhao Kingdom are very difficult to defend.

Naturally, this place was chosen as the primary target of attack.

Upon hearing His Majesty's question, a black-armored general sitting closest to the door counted his fingers, then stepped in and saluted:

"Your Majesty, based on the march time and speed, we should be less than a hundred miles away from Baiyi City!"

At this time, a general wearing bronze armor who was closest to Tie Wuxuan hurriedly suggested:

"Your Majesty, the army set off early in the morning. It is almost noon now. Why don't we stop the army and rest for an hour before moving forward. We will set up camp fifty miles away from Baiyi City. After resting for one night, we can start attacking the city early tomorrow morning."

This bronze-armored general has gray hair and is the only remaining veteran general of the Later Zhao Kingdom. He is known for his prudent military tactics. He was originally the official commander of the 100,000-strong army. Although the command now falls into the hands of the emperor,

He still dutifully put forward his suggestions to prevent His Majesty Tie Wuxuan in front of him from suddenly coming up with any fantastic ideas that were really taboo for military strategists.

Since ancient times, it has been the biggest taboo for an emperor to lead a military expedition in person. Except for the founding emperor who spent his life as a soldier, most emperors were ignorant of military affairs. If they command at will, it will often have very terrible consequences.

For example, at the most basic marching speed, it is no small feat for an army of 100,000 people to march. Being able to keep marching a hundred miles a day is the limit of the infantry of the Later Zhao State. General Bronze Armor knows that Tie Wuxuan is eager to win, and is afraid that he will violate the order.

Marching common sense orders.

Although General Bronze Armor's suggestion was pertinent, the later Emperor of Zhao State, Tie Wuxuan, was a very arrogant person and obviously did not listen to his opinion. He frowned and said:

"My army of 100,000 people swarmed up. The small Baiyi City can be set off in the morning. Why camp in the wild? Send the order and the whole army speeds up. After arriving at Baiyi City, we attack the city overnight. I want to enjoy the sun tomorrow in Baiyi City.

out!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do it. If you advance so quickly, even if you capture Baiyi City, the whole army will be exhausted. When it comes to the decisive battle with the main force of the Lutheran Army, they may not be able to fight for a long time!" The bronze-armored general did not expect what he was afraid of.

His face was flushed with excitement.

"Hmph, don't think of me as those stupid kings who don't know how to fight!" Tie Wuxuan angrily slapped the imperial case and shouted loudly: "Do you think I don't know that infantry cannot march more than a hundred miles a day? When marching and fighting, we pay attention to soldiers.

You are impermanent, always commanding wars with drills, and the use of troops is rigid and unchanged. How can I make the few people feel at ease to hand over the army to your command!"

"Your Majesty, calm down your anger. The general will be convicted!" Seeing Tie Wuxuan's anger, several generals on the carriage hurriedly straightened up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Tie Wuxuan suppressed the anger in his heart and then continued:

"None of you would have thought that I would suddenly arrange for a rapid advance of the army, and the defenders of Baiyi City would not have expected that we would violate the rules. If we neglect to take precautions, we will inevitably be defeated by our 100,000-strong army!"

"Although such a surprise attack will make the soldiers tired, it can also reduce the battle losses during the siege. After Baiyi City is captured, we will rest in the city for two days so that the soldiers can refresh themselves."

"If those horse thieves who are 'evil-minded' are all in Xinyi Prefecture, I will naturally fight steadily and advance step by step. But now those horse thieves are trapped in the city in the Great Dian Kingdom, and they can't fly back even if they put on their wings.

What's there to be afraid of?"

"Right now, Xinyi Prefecture is empty. Apart from holding on, that kid Lin Qing can't do anything at all. So we have to use surprise to catch him off guard and kill him before he can react.

One city!”

"As a result, the situation in Xinyi Prefecture will be chaotic. Those powerful landowners will definitely be afraid of the powerful army and take the initiative to surrender. When the time comes, how long can Lin Qing resist when the rebels are betrayed and separated from their relatives?"

After a long and eloquent speech, Tie Wuxuan felt very good about himself. He proudly glanced at the generals in front of him to see how they would answer.

The bronze-armored general kneeling on the ground secretly thought: Your Majesty, a hundred thousand troops are rushing forward, and most of them are infantry. Unless the defender of Baiyi City is a fool, how could he be unprepared? However, he knew that if he dared to answer like this,

I'm afraid that His Majesty, who is conceited and outsmarts others, might sacrifice his own flag.

The Tongjia General then thought about it. The main force of Xinyi Prefecture was still trapped in the city of the Dian Kingdom, and it was impossible to turn around. His own army of 100,000 people concentrated all the way to attack the city. It was a complete attack on the city with stones, but there was no need to be overly cautious.
