At the same time that Liu Xing was sitting in Qingyun Temple and didn't know what the future would be, outside the city, two miles away.

In the big tent of the golden army, the silver art can stand with its head down. In front of him, a middle-aged man in his forties slowly opened his closed eyes.

Looking at the silver magic in front of him, the middle-aged man spoke: "If there is really someone among the Song Dogs who can use Lei Gong's spells, they will definitely not just beat you once and then retreat." On the contrary, they have already left the city in large armies and opened a gap from you in one fell swoop. ”

"Lord Supervisor, but when Song Gou went out of the city, he did kill and injure more than 430 people under my command with a thunderbolt!" Yinshu was a little puzzled, and glanced up at the middle-aged man in heavy armor.

The middle-aged man in heavy armor smiled coldly, shook his head and said, "In the Central Plains, there are many strange people and strange things. Not to mention that among the cultivators, there may be people who can make some superficial Dao methods and make a momentum and power similar to Lei Gong's spells. Those skilled craftsmen in the Central Plains can also make many strange firearms whose details we don't know, at least for the time being. ”

At this point, the middle-aged man in heavy armor suddenly stopped. Frowning slightly and thinking for a while, he looked up at Jiagu Xie Nu on the side and said, "Xie Nu, you have traveled in the Central Plains, haven't you ever seen the Central Plains people use firearms?" You say, is it possible that they made some heart-type firearms this time that caused such heavy losses to our army? ”

Hearing this, he also frowned and thought for a while, and Jiagu Xie Nu quickly replied: "Returning to the prison army, I have only seen firecrackers filled with gunpowder in the Central Plains during my early years of travel to the Central Plains, but I have never seen firearms that can be used in battle. ”

Smiling and nodding, the middle-aged man in heavy armor said: "You traveled to the Central Plains ten years ago, and I don't know if the Central Plains people have made gunpowder weapons in the past ten years." But whether it was a firearm of the Central Plains, or that scholar would really make Lei Gongfa. With the current armor of our army, it is impossible to withstand his attack. ”

"Then according to the intention of the Prison Guard, how should we deal with it?" Yinshu hesitated, and looked at the middle-aged man in heavy armor, his eyes full of expectation and a little admiration.

Lord Jianjun, Wanyan Xiyin, the first wise man of the Dajin Dynasty. He invented the Jurchen characters, he was both wise and brave, and he was one of the people who contributed the most to the creation of the Great Jin Dynasty. Therefore, the fierce general Yinshu can also respect Wanyan Xiyin, and his face showed a look of longing and admiration when he spoke.

Bowing his head and groaning, Wanyan Xiyin raised his head, looked out of the tent with deep eyes and said, "You can't prevent it, you can only avoid it." ”

"Then, according to what the Prison Master said, if I meet that scholar, I can only back down?" Jiagu Xie Nu's eyes widened, and when he stared at Yan Xiyin and asked this, his face was full of unwillingness.

His unwillingness, Wanyan Xiyin and Yinshu both understand: that is the glory of a family, and that is the glory of a meritorious general. In the previous battle, Jiagu Xie Nu saw hundreds of soldiers killed and wounded, but he rushed forward but he could not even engage the scholar head-on, let alone avenge the dead.

The courage of the general, the courage to fight, the courage to kill the enemy. For Jiagu Xie Nu, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, it was a shame to fail to catch up with the Song Dynasty scholar, and it was even more shameful to fail to behead him. Failure to avenge the brother killed by that man would make Xie Nu ridiculed as incompetent by the force-worshipping Jurchens......

Seeing Xie Nu's expression, Wanyan Xiyin shook his head and said to him: "It's not necessarily just blindly avoiding it, you can use the tricks of the Central Plains people to deal with him." Xie Nu, aren't you familiar with the three military books of the Central Plains? Have you forgotten the good deeds? ”

After hearing Yan Xiyin's words, Jiagu Xie Nu suddenly realized, and after changing his face to a sinister smile, he said: "The last general understands, you can only outwit and not attack ......."

……

The moonlight was like silver, and the bright moonlight shone on the roof and ground of Qingyunguan.

Throughout the afternoon, Liu Xing was worried that Zhang Xiaochun's coming to ask for guilt did not happen. What made it strange to the merchants and all the soldiers of the Xuanfeng Battalion who were imprisoned in the backyard was that not only did Zhang Xiaochun not come to ask about the crime, but even Wang Yu didn't seem to know what was going on in Qingyunguan and didn't send anyone to ask.

After directing the first batch of iron materials to the Yao family's soldiers into the small hanging furnace that had been temporarily erected, Liu Xing paced back and forth in the side courtyard. While pacing, Liu Xing thought: Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu didn't send people, didn't those businessmen's subordinates really go to sue themselves?

No way, absolutely not. Based on the unspoken rule of collusion between officials and businessmen in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhang and Wang will definitely not know what they have done here. So why didn't they come? I'm afraid there is only one reason, that is, the two of them want to pretend not to know for the time being, give themselves a green light, and give themselves time to make enough fire bombs.

As long as you make more explosive fire bombs, you can defeat the golden dog outside the city and lift the siege of Taiyuan. Then when the time comes, the two of them can come to a "merit for sin". There is no need to give any reward to the master, and let them pick up a miracle in vain.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly stopped and looked up at the starry sky, and whispered to himself: "Their abacus is fine, Liu Xing, you can only ask yourself not to be unloaded and killed by them." ”

Halfway through the sentence, Liu Xing stopped abruptly.

After thinking about it slightly, he secretly said in his heart: Now that the master has military power in his hands, it is not so easy for them to unload the mill and kill the donkey. However, the arm can't twist the thigh, so the master still sent someone to find the little lady of the Yang family and her mother first, and bring this Qingyun Temple! As long as the person who the master really protects is around, they want to turn their faces, and it is convenient for the master to take the mother and daughter with him when he leaves......

Thinking of this, Liu Xing raised his head and said loudly to the two soldiers standing at the courtyard wall not far away: "You two, go out to the city immediately, find the little lady and her mother who gave me the 'Hu Shuang' treasure knife, and invite their mother and daughter to Qingyunguan." Remember, don't be rude, you know? ”

"Subordinates obey!"

The two soldiers turned around and ran out of the side courtyard quickly.

The door behind him opened, and Zhang Yang heard Liu Xing's words as soon as he went out with two barrels of iron, and immediately came to Liu Xing with a strange smile and said, "Hehe, Brother Liu, you don't want to find that little lady to get married immediately, right?" ”

Turning around and glaring at him coldly, Liu Xing said angrily: "Get out of the way and do your work, get married in the lonely city, are you a hungry ghost in the color when you are the master?" ”

was scolded, but Zhang Yang still said with a hippie smile: "What's wrong with the lonely city? It's not a lonely city, you don't have to fall into a Jedi with us! Get married before you die, and don't be a stunned ghost when you die, what's wrong! ”

"I'm not you, I'm not afraid of being a stunned ghost, I'm just afraid that dying is not worth it. Fuck off, do your job. After scolding Zhang Yang angrily, Liu Xing turned around and walked out of the side yard.

Looking at Liu Xing's departing back, Zhang Yang was stunned and whispered: "It's not worth dying, why is it worth dying?" Hey, you scholars really can't guess what we rough people think. Forget it, forget it, Lao Zhang still worked! ”

Zhang Yang couldn't know that no one in the city knew what Liu Xing meant by the phrase "death is not worth it".

Only Liu Xing himself knows that dying in the city is worth it, and dying worthless is not worth it. It is worth dying on the battlefield, but it is not worth dying at the hands of one's own people. In Liu Xing's heart, he actually still has suspicions about Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu, and he is a little more worried that they will unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future......

Worried, Liu Xing quickly walked into the room that Wan Yafei had arranged for him. This is a room that originally enshrined the statue of Lu Dongbin, and the statue of Lu Chunyang in the center has been covered with a thick layer of dust because no one has cleaned it for many years.

Walking to the statue of Lu Dongbin, Liu Xing looked up at the face of the statue of the god, and said thoughtfully: "Pure Yang real person, pure Yang real person." You have cultivated all your life, and you will become an immortal after death. I'm just a mortal in two lifetimes, and now I'm trapped in this lonely city. I don't want to be like you to be able to fly immortals, I just want to live a long life for a hundred years. If you have a spirit, show me a mortal. ”

As he spoke, Liu Xing reached out and picked up a rag from the side of the shrine. A few steps forward, he used the Leopard Grove Valley's mixed true qi to pour into the strip of rag, causing it to quickly stiffen up, turning into a cloth stick and dusting up on the statue of Lu Chunyang.

While dusting off the dust, Liu Xingbian sang the familiar ballad in a low voice again: "You and I are mortals, born in the world. It's hard to run around all day, and you can't be idle for a moment......"

As the singing gradually reached a high level, Liu Xing couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart.

Suddenly slammed the stick that the cloth strip inflated into into a slam onto the shrine, Liu Xing turned around and did it to the shrine, and scolded in his mouth: "I am a mortal, but do you want me to do something against the sky?" Thief God, don't bring such a playful person! It's just that the golden dog outside the city has made the master unbearable, do you still want the master to fight with those bureaucrats? ”
