Chapter 988: Wood Grows Dirt
Fu Lin won the title of general in the chaos, less than a day ago, before that, he was a studious young man who was obsessed with the art of war, except for a few inherited titles and idle positions, he never really led a soldier.
The nine soldiers of the Yellow Fu Army were the entire strength of the new general.
Their horses were blessed with talismans, and they ran very fast, and in the evening they had chased more than a hundred miles to the southwest, passing by several burned villages and towns, and met some panicked refugees, all of them old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were not many young people left who were taken away by the talisman masters.
Fu Lin still wanted to hurry up, but the soldiers didn't want to rush any further.
Fu Lin turned his horse's head and looked in surprise at the nine subordinates who had fallen behind him dozens of paces and could not restrain their horses, the general charged forward, and the soldiers refused to follow, which was not included in any of the art of war he had learned.
"Wait for ......" Fu Lin shut up in time, and on the first day of leading the army, he learned an important lesson: not all soldiers are brave and good at fighting and thirst for blood.
Fu Lin patted his horse back to the soldiers, tried his best to get rid of his habit of crepe, and said, "Why did you stop?
A soldier took off his helmet, revealing a wounded face, nodded to the general, and then said, "May I ask General Lin, what are you ordered to take us out for?"
Such a question was very rude, Fu Lin's face was slightly red, and he learned an important second lesson: not everything can be solved by command.
"I was ordered to follow the two sides in the southwest, recruit laborers, collect stragglers, more than ten miles ahead is the ancient military fort, where thousands of garrisons are under my command, and more than fifty miles ahead is Zhuozhou City, an important town on the riverbank, and there are tens of thousands of troops to be received ......by me."
The veteran shook his head and expressed disbelief, "Let's tell you the truth, General Lin, if it's in peacetime." You can toss as you like, but now the situation is different, the imperial capital has been burned down again, the Daotong Tower has also fallen, and the Emperor Ci is far away in the land of demons, and Long Bin will betray ......"
"The Longbin Society has not betrayed, it is a few talisman masters who have betrayed, and I will wipe them out. ”
"Say whatever you want, anyway, the situation is a mess now, worse than the time when he sacrificed his country to capture the imperial capital. Let's go all the way. Everyone can see clearly, labor cannot be recruited, those Fu Gong masters did not even leave younger women, as for the ancient army fort and Zhuozhou City, do you really believe that there are thousands of troops there?"
"The number is less than 10,000, 7,000 is always there, I have checked the records of the Ministry of War......"
"The military headquarters is gone, where did the records come from?" the other soldier couldn't help it, and also took off his helmet. A young face was revealed, similar to Fu Lin's age, but his appearance was much rougher, and he looked like a weather-beaten person. "Even if there are really 7,000 people, and the Fu Master takes away the youth of the villages and towns, won't he take over these soldiers?"
Fu Lin tried his best to maintain the majesty of the general, "I am a general appointed by the imperial court. Those talisman masters relied on gossip to confuse the public, and they didn't have any vouchers in their hands, as long as I took out the seals and official documents. The ancient military fort and Zhuozhou City will understand the truth. ”
The nine soldiers looked at the young general in disbelief, glad that they had not followed the confused leader straight into the abyss.
"General Lin, don't you see it? There are traces of fire everywhere, last night's heavenly fire attacked not only the imperial capital, but all places, it may be the whole world, the ancient army fort and Zhuozhou City are no exception, even if there are still troops there, there is not much left, and a few Fu Gong masters can firmly control them. They take the lead, we don't have a chance, unless your seal is given by Emperor Ci himself. ”
The imperial capital was destroyed, there were heavy casualties, and there were only more than a hundred people left in the entire imperial court, and their identity and prestige were not enough to serve the public, and Fu Lin, who was born in the royal family, was appointed as a general, but this general was not formal enough, and he didn't even take the nine soldiers assigned to him seriously, let alone the local garrison that had never seen him.
Fu Lin immediately learned the important third lesson: there are many ways to achieve the goal, and the truth is by no means the best choice.
He shook his right hand, "Three bronze perfection talismans, one hit the nail on the head, swept thousands of armies, and the copper walls were ironclad, is it enough to deal with dozens of talisman masters?"
The nine soldiers glanced at each other, and the veteran still spoke, "Didn't all the things in the Huangjing Fu Tower be burned?"
"It's burned, and there is nothing left, but the Dragon Bin Society has learned the lesson of the last destruction of the city, and has not stored all the perfection talismans in the talisman tower. Fu Lin paused, giving the soldiers a moment to think, "What do you think I need from the seal, the official document, and the three bronze perfection charms, as well as your support?"
"I'm sorry, General Lin, we just don't want to take unnecessary risks. The veteran was the first to apologize, and the others also spoke one after another, no one thought to take a look at the so-called perfection talisman, such a request was too rude, and they could not recognize the quality of the talisman.
The ten knights continued on their way, and as it grew dark, Fu Lin sped up, knowing that the longer the delay, the less likely it was that he would recapture the army from the Fu Master.
Built on a hill overlooking the official road, the fort has a large number of talismans and artifacts, and can even automatically attack unauthorized pilots. But now, it's just a useless ruin, and the only keeper is a runeman.
The seven-fold crown of the talisman master sat on a stone at the highest point of the ruins, and a small oil lamp was lit beside him, which was very strange, the light was dim, but the range of illumination was extremely wide, reaching five or six miles away, and it was enough to cover the official road outside the fort.
"Your Excellency, is Tong Weibin, the messenger of the Longbin Society?" Fu Lin stopped his horse, raised his head and said loudly, and the nine soldiers spread out behind him, their hands grasping the hilt of their swords.
"Hey, I thought the imperial court would send a big man, it turned out to be you, Fu Lin, did you come to join the Longbin Society? ”
"Envoy Tong said with a smile, I am a descendant of Empress Fu, Long Bin will stay in the imperial capital well, why do you want to go to the palace?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Tong Weibin stood up and put away the smirk on his face, "Huangjing is finished, this time it's completely finished, what is the difference between the descendant of the Bullshit Fu Empress and all living beings?
"The royal family shares weal and woe with all the people, and it is not the Taoist system that wants to exterminate the world. Fu Lin said flatly.
Tong Weibin laughed, "Haha, are you really stupid or pretending? Last night's spell was issued by the Dao Tong, and the ambush was set up a long time ago, and those Dao Tong spells, everyone likes them, in fact, they are the source of the heavenly fire." Hey. Only Master Xin Da Fu understood this, so he led a group of people to flee a long time ago. Emperor Ci is a fool, he was played by the Taoist system, and led his army to a decisive battle with the demon clan, which was nothing more than sending him to death. And you, just luckily not dead, do you still think this is your chance to soar?"
Fu Lin had already suffered several humiliations on this day, which was a bit good for him, at least he wouldn't blush in the face of Tong Weibin's ridicule, "The common people have suffered a great disaster. It is when you and I stand up to turn the tide, only responsibility, not soaring. I heard that the envoy Tong recruited a lot of people, presumably because he had a big plan, and said that it was okay for me to come and defect, as long as you don't dislike the few people I brought. ”
The more humble Fu Lin is, the more arrogant Tong Weibin becomes, but the vigilance in his heart has indeed decreased a lot, with the small oil lamp beside him. Slowly fell onto the official road, floating in the air, a head taller than Fu Lin on horseback, and sneered. "Are you awake?"
"As long as it is good for all people......
"If you don't come to this set, where will the 'people' come from? Dao Tong is serious this time, and he must kill all human beings, and I don't know how we offended them. There is only one way to survive - hide, escape, avoid, hide. Anyway, the farther away from the Taoist system, the better. ”
"The Daotong Tower was also destroyed. Fu Lin reminded.
"Hey, that's a show for the world to see. ”
"If the Taoist wants to exterminate the people of the world, why do you want to make a show?"
Tong Weibin was stunned for a moment. Some annoyed and said, "Because the Taoist priest is hypocritical." Do you really want to run to us?"
Fu Lin glanced back at the soldiers he had brought, motioned for them to relax, and then said, "It depends on the strength of your side. ”
"Finally, I'm willing to tell the truth, let's talk about what you brought, nine soldiers don't count, they are useless now. ”
"Nine perfection charms, three bronze, three jade and three gold. Fu Lin casually tripled the number.
"Do you have a consummation charm?" Tong Weibin didn't believe it.
"The royal family has collected some perfection charms, and I was made a general and received nine of them. ”
"Congratulations, General, take out your Perfection Charm for me to see. ”
Fu Lin shook his head, "I need to know if it's worth it." ”
Tong Weibin snorted, turned around and pointed into the distance, "There are thirty-nine Fu Masters gathered in Zhuozhou City at the moment, don't you have so many over there, right?" There are more than four hundred and thirty laborers, including Huang Fujun and ordinary people, both men and women. ”
"So little. Fu Lin was very disappointed.
"What's the use of having a lot of people? It's not a war, it's a flight. ”
"What do you want those young men and women to do when you flee?"
"This ...... You are not qualified to know the full plan yet, and generally speaking, we do not accept rune masters below the sevenfold crown, but if you really have a consummation talisman, you can discuss it. ”
Fu Lin thought for a while, turned around slightly, fumbled in the armor for a long time, took out a palm-sized piece of wood, held it in both hands, and said carefully: "I'll show you one first." ”
Tong Weibin didn't believe in Fu Lin very much, but when he saw the wood chips, his expression changed, he recognized the pattern on it, there were actually two pieces of wood chips, and there were real talismans in the middle, usually the consummation talisman.
He couldn't help but believe it a little, and understood that Fu Lin was a useless child of the royal family, so he was not afraid, reached out and summoned the wooden clip, opened it gently, and was stunned for a moment: there was nothing in it.
Fu Lin made a move at this time, he was a general and a Fu Gong master, and he didn't have a consummation charm on his body, but there were a lot of ordinary runes.
This was a complete sneak attack, and the day before, Fu Lin would never have surrendered his identity to do such a thing, but along the way, he had already understood that there were no rules in the world now.
Without rules, there is only strength left, but his strength is still slightly inferior.
The oil lamp beside Tong Weibin suddenly shone brightly, slightly blocking the more than a dozen flying knives flying in front of him, and he himself immediately rose more than ten zhang, and was stabbed on his body, but it was not fatal, and he was furious in his heart, raising the paper talisman in his hand, to destroy all the enemies.
Fu Lin secretly screamed a pity, and was about to start a defense, only to see a large number of stones suddenly flying up from the ruins of the ancient military fort, smashing to the ground like a torrential rain, the speed was amazingly fast, and Tong Weibin was engulfed in an instant, and the seven-fold crown talisman master didn't even let out a wail, and he was already crushed.
The ten people on the ground had nowhere to escape, and Fu Lin sent out a few talismans, but the result was useless, and he couldn't stop the rocks at all.
At this moment, a figure flew in, punching and kicking the heads of the ten people, and even knocked the stones away.
The stones were all attached to the powerful mana, and this person was not affected in the slightest, Fu Lin was shocked, and quickly recognized that the rescuer was the ugly middle-aged man he had seen on the side of the road.
"Wood is born of earth, and the second round of natural disasters has begun. Mu Xingqiu didn't need much memory to guess what the next attack would be.
