The devil is coming

Chapter 1002 River Water
palace;
Killings are happening.
There is no doubt about the strength of the Jinyi Guards. They are invincible in a corner of the battle formation. Back then, Tiantian led them to withstand the cavalry of the Guards from Xiong Tingshan.
However, what they are better at is actually fighting in the rivers and lakes, because their first duty is to protect the prince, and most of the time, the prince is protected by a large army, so preventing Xiao Xiao's assassin is what they need to face most. Condition.
The "loyal and righteous people" in the palace are mixed together. Although some of them hold knives or swords in their hands, they have no power to bind a chicken, and their output can only rely on their mouths;
Although some of them are good at skills, there is no tacit understanding with the people around them to advance and retreat together.
Therefore,
The Jinyi guards were divided into several small military formations and pushed forward from two directions. Anyone who dared to resist or resist would be killed without mercy. The efficiency was as high as an experienced farmer harvesting wheat.
However, the one who had the most fun was the noble young man wearing the prince's python robe.
The boy hunted his target one by one,
Kill a few with assassins' sneak attacks,
Then he chopped off the heads of several people in a brutal way of chopping Huashan;
During this period, the palm of his hand drew blood from the ground, and condensed a strange rune-like existence, which hit a scholar. Seeing that the scholar's face began to crack rapidly, a proud smile appeared on the young man's face;
He also deliberately lurked behind a person and closed his eyes. The person began to stagger and had a splitting headache. However, the person was of a higher rank and was a determined warrior. He immediately cut him down with a single blow.
However, Zheng Lin reacted in time to dodge. As he moved, two silver needles shot out from his fingertips, hitting the opponent's eyeballs. He then gently pulled the silk thread hanging behind the silver needles, and the two eyeballs were pulled out.
The warrior immediately screamed;
But Zheng Lin was not in a hurry to kill. Instead, he stood still, closed his eyes again, and took advantage of the opportunity when the other party's heart was lost to re-infiltrate his spiritual power.
finally,
The martial artist couldn't bear the mental torture, so he stabbed himself in the neck.
While Zheng Lin was doing this,
The sword master and sword maker stood behind Zheng Lin to avoid any disturbance from the side.
The sword maker clicked his tongue and said through the sound of Qi and blood:
"Are you taking the road of Wenming Mountain, Shuangxiu?
No, that's not all. His physique is that of a martial artist, but he used a method similar to that of a Qi Refiner before. He is also your disciple, Yu Huaping.
I said, how much confidence do you, Yu Huaping, have in him? How dare you let this child take advantage of him since he was a child?
Are you really not afraid of biting off more than you can chew?
Furthermore, in terms of swordsmanship, you, Yu Huaping, are the best in this world, and I think you are number one, but in other ways, aren't you worried that you will be cheating on your skills? "
The sword master shook his head,
Responded:
"The other methods are probably among the best."
The gentlemen in the palace knew their housekeeping skills, and it was true that Yu Huaping could not defeat them, but this did not mean that they were not proficient in the "Tao".
In fact, since ten years ago, the Sword Master has discovered that the gentlemen who are not very powerful in this world have a level of understanding of "combat" and "cultivation" that is completely superior to or even transcends their own realm. .
Let’s talk about the “silly big guy” that my apprentice likes.
Just by looking at his apprentice's sword moves, he can use his ax to show the true meaning of his own sword skills.
Those gentlemen are really excellent. From the perspective of their apprentices, even the Sword Master hopes that his apprentice can learn more. After all, this is a genuine good thing;
Of course, it's also because Zheng Fan's son is so evil in terms of cultivation. He seems to have no problem of biting off more than he can chew, because his appetite is really good.
The sword maker pursed his lips and said, "You know what shocks me the most? It's not like I haven't seen a shocking genius before. Of course, the prince in front of me is indeed the best genius I have ever seen in my life. Top position.
But what really surprised me was,
He wasn't killing for the sake of killing, he was... enjoying it.
Yu Huaping, Yu Huaping, aren't you worried that you will teach a devil? "
"You should point your finger at Zheng Fan's nose and say this. To put it harshly, I am just teaching some martial arts tricks here. Furthermore, even if he is a martial arts dragon, how capable is he?
His character is here, and his status is here.
It won't be because his cultivation level is low that he will kill less people, nor will it be because his cultivation level is high that he will kill more people.
to be honest,
No matter how much he likes killing, how many more can he get if he kills by himself?
His father was in Shanggu County before, and your Chu people came and went, and more than a million people died in the battle? "
"You will excuse yourself."
"Then don't move forward."
"Why, everyone who sees it has a share.
This prince obviously has many families in his body, and one more than me is not enough. "
"One less for you, that's not a lot."
"Oh, as long as he recognizes me as his master, even if he likes eighteen kinds of weapons, I can still make eighteen sets for him!"
"If he asks his father to use your Dugu family as a threat, how dare you not make it for him?"
"Bastard!"
"You're in a hurry."
Why does the sword maker appear here?
Isn't it just that the form is stronger than the person? Under the background that the Emperor Chu bowed his head and the Xie family and other big nobles had to arrange their retreat in advance, the Dugu family could not survive alone.
He Zheng Fan said that he wanted to get another sword, so he carried the sword case on his back to report it.
At that time, Tian Wujing, although he had verbally told the sword master that his words were not allowed in the arena;
But the person who really put this sentence into practice was Tian Wujing's successor, the regent of Dayan.
After a series of operations,
Zheng Lin finally reviewed all his previous lessons.
It can be seen that his control over the blind man's mental power is a weakness, because the blind man also appears to be weak and useless until his level is not high enough.
Furthermore, Zheng Lin has a special physique. Although he can learn the abilities of the demon kings, he does not have a corresponding bloodline to support him. He can learn, but it is very difficult to become like a fish in water or become better than his master all of a sudden.
On the contrary, it was his own mother's moves that he learned very solidly. Firstly, he inherited them from the same source, and secondly, he kept "trying the techniques personally". It was difficult not to master them...
But what is most suitable, and what he likes most, is to put physical fitness first, combine it with powerful killing moves, and take a fierce path.
Therefore, next, Zheng Lin was surrounded by evil spirits. After living with his godfather for so long, so much pure evil spirits were not in vain.
After seeing this, A Ming, who was watching from the side, felt a little tasteless, and felt that the wine in the wine bottle around his waist had become sour.
You, A Cheng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are really ruthless and accurate in your attacks.
With evil spirit as protection and combined with his own body, Zheng Lin rushed into the crowd as if he was in a deserted place. At the same time, the sword energy was released from the tips of his two fingers and he began to "cut melons and vegetables."
This rich and skillful sword energy was released, making the sword maker following behind almost shed tears.
In response, the sword master just smiled in his heart.
Perhaps in the eyes of the sword maker, having him as a master is not much, but in fact the sword master understands that this prince, even his own father, has a kind of...contempt from the bottom of his heart;
He does have many masters, but which one is an ordinary one?
Can His Highness, the Crown Prince, like a swordsman who can be summoned by his father?
The sword master had warned him before, but the sword maker did not understand the meaning.
No matter how beautiful the killing is,
It will end eventually.
After sending the sword energy into the chest of the last person, Zheng Lin stopped, crossed his hands together, and kneaded each other.
At the level of a swordsman, no sword is better than a sword. Chen Daxia may have just touched the threshold;
For Zheng Lin, it was still a little early.
At this time, the sword maker opened the sword box, placed it in front of Zheng Lin, and said:
"These are all made by me in the past few years. Whichever one the prince likes, just take it."
Zheng Lin passed the sword maker and asked the sword master directly:
"Master, my tendons are somewhat torn."
Upon hearing this, the Sword Master immediately appeared in front of Zheng Lin, held his wrist for inspection, and then said:
"It's not a big problem. If you use your body to carry the sword energy, you have to bear the corresponding pressure."
"If you use external objects to borrow force or the sword energy to condense outside the body, the lethality will be reduced." Zheng Lin responded, "At the same time, more energy and energy will be consumed. For ordinary swordsmen, their own Physical strength is a weak point, so naturally I have to defend myself from enemies, but I don’t have to worry about that.”
"Yes." The sword master agreed with his apprentice's idea.
He himself also knew very well how terrifying it would be for a peak swordsman to also have a peak warrior physique.
And the future of his apprentice should be developing in this direction.
"Your Majesty, look at this sword, it's called..."
"Master, I'm going to change my clothes, but I don't want my mother to see me."
said,
Zheng Lin bypassed the sword maker and walked back.
The sword maker was completely ignored and stood there holding the sword box.
The scene envisioned by the Sword Master has indeed become a reality.
Zheng Lin walked up to Zhao Yuannian, who was struggling to stand. Today's enthronement ceremony for the new king of Daqian was... very exciting.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the rescue." Zhao Yuannian thanked him immediately.
Zheng Lin was too lazy to be polite and said directly: "The ceremony will continue."
"Ah, this..."
Zheng Lin looked around and ordered to the Jinyi guards:
"continue."
After giving the instructions, His Royal Highness went to the back to change clothes.
And here,
Zhao Yuannian sat on the dragon throne again,
Below, those who had not previously participated in the "rebellion" were asked to go through the process.
After Zheng Lin finished changing his clothes and came out, just when everyone was kneeling on the ground and shouting "Long Live the Mountain", a large group of people were kneeling in a pool of blood underneath them. Next to them were the remains of severed limbs. Some of them were too panicked to react in the past. Now that he had calmed down and his senses began to recover, he started to vomit.
The blood on the ground is like a dipping sauce, and these ministers of the new dynasty are like fat shrimps that have peeled themselves until they are white and tender. They actively jump into the sauce and keep smearing themselves for fear of falling behind.
Zheng Lin returned to his chair and sat down, admiring this scene with interest.
Wait until the process ends,
With the support of Eunuch Zhao, the new official left the dragon chair, faced Zheng Lin, and knelt down;
Behind him, a group of "courtiers" also knelt down towards the Crown Prince.
This is not to belittle the new official family, because for this new pseudo-imperial court, the only way for them to consolidate their cohesion is to continuously flatter the palace through their official family.
On the contrary, if Zhao Yuannian really has any ideals or ambitions, and shouts that he will work together for the rise of the new Daqian, I am afraid that the following people will disperse immediately.
The reason why everyone is willing to hang out with this official family at this time is
Isn’t it because this official is the son-emperor of Prince Yan?
Zheng Lin turned to look at A Ming and Juggernaut standing next to him.
asked:
"What should I do now?"
A Ming and Juggernaut looked at each other. In fact, they both knew in their hearts that what this sentence meant was, what should his father do if he was sitting here?
One thing that cannot be denied, and even Zheng Lin admits, is that at certain times, his father can always show the best way to deal with it.
The sword master said:
"If your dad were here, he would do nothing."
……
The chaos in the palace can be easily quelled, as they are a ragtag group of people after all;
The fighting outside Jinghai City continued to develop until noon the next day.
The war was not difficult to fight. From the beginning, the soldiers and horses of the three towns wanted to use the method of "false surrender" to force a miracle. But the reason why the miracle was called a miracle was because it was basically impossible to happen.
Like wolves and tigers, the Yan-Chu coalition forces faced each other and beat the soldiers and horses of the three towns to death.
Chen Xianba and Tiantian adopted the old tactics of the Yan army. After defeating the opponent, they swarmed them like wolves driving sheep, and took advantage of the situation to break through Menhai Town and Anhai Town;
Nian Yao led his army to besiege Donghai Town. After news of the fall of the two neighboring towns came, Donghai Town also opened its doors to surrender at noon the next day.
This war is declared over.
Faced with Chu's small three-sided defense system, the Qian Kingdom fell into Zheng Fan's hands.
This is a natural but significant victory. It is natural that although the Qianjun army has made great progress in recent years and has trained many new armies capable of fighting tough battles, they are basically deployed in Shangjing and the north. Here in the south of the Yangtze River , can also be called "many soldiers and generals", but the military quality is the same as that of the Qianguo border army when Zheng Fan attacked Mianzhou City.
Although they showed "courage" and "boldness", for example, after Du Sheng was besieged, he would rather die than surrender and chose to commit suicide.
But this cannot change the overall trend;
The great significance is that having these three towns in hand means that the door between Qian and Chu is completely opened. Everyone can come and go more freely and safer. Whether it is support from Chu or plunder from Jiangnan, they can move better and faster. Make the transfer.
The regent, who was already in control of the strategic situation and took the initiative, could now really sit back and relax in this corner of the south of the Yangtze River.
Even if Ganren mobilizes the northern elites back, he can leave at any time, and he will not risk his own life for another tragic breakout like last time.
however,
Zheng Fan wanted more than just this.
nowadays,
He made the move first, and then it was up to Jing to see how he would take the move.
but,
After the war, new branches appeared soon after.
A fleet of Ganmen navy sailed across the Ganjiang River.
However, after some contact, this Qian Kingdom Navy did not show any drastic actions, but directly dispatched a messenger.
……
"Blind man, did you contact me in advance?"
Zheng Fan looked at the blind man standing beside him.
The blind man shook his head and said: "My lord, I don't know how to do military affairs. I am good at plotting and scheming, but when it comes to military matters, I don't dare to interfere."
The battle at Shanggu County was arranged by Zheng Fan;
The alliance with Chu State this time was also driven by Zheng Fan's will.
The blind man could only be mending things on the side as an assistant. How could he have planned any surprises behind his back? Who knows if there would be any surprises.
Xie Yu'an smiled and said: "The Wu family in Haidong was originally a pirate. Later, the ancestral Zhu Zhu Ming and Qing Dynasties brought peace to Haibo. The Wu family accepted and surrendered to Qian. Their status is a bit like the chieftain in the southwest region of Qian country.
Your Majesty, I think the Wu family may have arrived too late. "
"I don't think he came late. They should have arrived long ago. Moreover, it was supposed to be the strength taken into account by the country in the previous war, but the Wu family chose to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and betrayed their teammates.
Now, seeing that we are done, at least in this area, the overall situation has been decided beyond doubt, so the Wu family has chosen to jump out and join the team again. "
"My lord is wise."
"Your Majesty's lesson."
At this time, Liu Dahu walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Wu Xiang, the head of the Wu family, got off the boat and asked for an audience."
When Lanyang City was destroyed, Wu Xiang was captured by Zheng Fan. Now, he is the head of the Wu family.
However, the momentum of the Wu family has obviously declined. On the one hand, it is because Wu Xiang is not his father after all, and there has been too much loss in the inheritance of power. Many pirate forces that were originally attached to the Wu family have left;
The second reason is that the Qian Kingdom has been "military" in recent years, and the proportion of taxes, especially commercial taxes, has almost doubled compared with previous years. This is tantamount to further squeezing the Wu family's interest space.
Under the combined influence of internal and external factors, the Wu family was severely damaged.
"Which of you is going to see him?" the prince asked.
Xie Yu'an didn't say anything, he had no reason to see him.
The blind man smiled and said, "Go down."
"Ah."
The blind man walked out of the handsome tent;
And then,
Xie Yu'an saw the prince walking towards the map, seeming to be thinking about something again.
Obviously, with the addition of a Wu family fleet, this dry river can be better utilized.
Xie Yuan was a little worried, worried that the prince would make a more radical choice.
"Thank you."
"exist."
"You said, if you go upstream along the Qianjiang River..."
Jinghai goes upstream along the Ganjiang River, and eventually reaches the Bianhe River that the Gan people built themselves, that is... to the capital city.
"Your Majesty, we are in a good situation now, why should we take risks?" Xie Yu'an hesitated again and again, but still chose to advise.
"I was just talking casually."
"Yes."
Xie Yuan didn't believe it.
Zheng Fan walked back to the handsome seat and sat down.
He opened his mouth and said:
"It's almost summer."
"As far as I'm concerned, my lord, the summer solstice will be here in ten days."
The prince nodded,
Road:
"This battle should be finished within this year."

My condition today is not very good. I will adjust as soon as possible. Hug everyone!
