Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 477 The Armory

The end result is obvious.

Li Bing agreed, and as a prefect, he used power for personal gain, opened granaries and armories, and used them to finance Li Xiu's army.

And after the incident happened, he was responsible for all the crimes, but correspondingly, Li Xiuyuan had to ensure that his wife and children would not be punished.

After the deal was concluded, the prefect Li Bing immediately took Li Xiuyuan and others to the armory in Yangzhou City.

"The armory has been sealed for a long time, and many of the previous accounts have been damaged. Now it is unclear." Li Bingdao: "I can't tell you how many weapons are in this armory, but General Li can rest assured that the accounts here No officials have moved the ordnance, because there is no imperial decree from the imperial court

No one can open the gates of the armory. "

"Oh, there is such a thing? Is the gate locked too firmly?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Li Bing shook his head and said: "It's not for this reason, but any soldiers, soldiers or even officials who approach the armory will hear the roar of the beast. Some people see a strange beast crawling in front of the armory at night, and no one dares to approach it. I didn't believe it when I took office, so I sent someone to check the warehouse, but
It was the clerk who was sent out and passed out as soon as he approached the armory. He woke up the next day with bruises from the bites of wild animals. He sent soldiers to force him several times but failed. "

"I feel that the armory is protected by ghosts and gods before it is born, so I didn't take care of it, and continued to seal it up."

"I'm afraid that the gold energy in the armory is psychic and has become a spirit, protecting the armory." The Yangzijiang King who was traveling with him said in a low voice.

The weapons in the army have been piled up in the armory for a long time, and it is not impossible for the golden energy to condense and become a demon.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Then this news is a good thing for me, at least it can prove that the armory has not been emptied by corrupt officials. I heard that many officials will buy and sell the armory for personal gain on the grounds of loss. .”

"It's true, but because of the protection of ghosts and gods, the arsenal in Yangzhou City not only has no previous prefects to make an idea, on the contrary, there are no people willing to come here to manage the warehouse, and now it is almost abandoned." Li Bing said. .

Li Xiuyuan looked around.

The walls and the floor of this warehouse are made of old bricks and stones. Weeds are overgrown in the cracks between the walls, the stone skin is mottled, and the doors and windows are crumbling. It is true that no one has managed it for a long time.

However, directly in front of him, a huge warehouse door appeared in front of him.

The vermilion lacquer on the door of the warehouse has faded away, but the pattern of brass and brass sticking to the door looks more and more lifelike, full of energy, as if it is about to come alive.

"Go, open the warehouse." Li Bing gestured.

The treasury officer who was accompanying him immediately walked over with a few yamen servants carefully, holding an old key in his hand, and was about to remove the copper lock on the gate.

But before the treasury official and the yamen servants approached, a gust of wind suddenly swept over and blew near the gate of the warehouse. The treasury official and several yamen servants immediately fell to the ground without warning, and passed out immediately. past.

Li Bing said with an ugly face: "General Li, you have also seen that the matter of ghosts and gods is not mere nonsense, but there is such a thing. If General Li can't solve this matter, even if I want to help General Li, I will It’s also powerless.”

Li Xiuyuan squinted his eyes slightly at this moment. Ordinary people may have just seen a gust of wind whistling past, blowing down the treasury official and several government servants, but he saw that the lion on the gate suddenly came back to life, a strange The phantom of the beast manifests during the day and growls and hisses at those who approach
Roar, directly stunned them all.

"The door god of the armory? How many weapons are stored here? The golden energy is condensed and attached to the lion on the door, making this strange beast become proficient and flexible." He was secretly startled.

It is not a strange thing for things to become spirits through psychics, even the stone lion at the gate of the yamen, which was blown by wind and rain, and absorbed the luck of the government, can also psychic, which can deter all ghosts and gods that approach.

The peach charms and gossip mirrors hung on the doors of ordinary people will become spiritual after a long time, and have the ability to dispel evil spirits.

But this psychic ability is not worth mentioning compared to this Suan Ni.

This suanni can even stun people, it has surpassed the category of ordinary spirits and monsters, almost exists like ghosts and gods.

"Lord Li, don't worry, a mere storeroom can't stop me, it's just a door god guarding it. If you subdue it, the storehouse door will open naturally." Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Bing said: "General Li, don't talk big. There are ghosts and gods here, and many people have suffered. In the past, there was a Sun Zongbing who wanted to ask me for some weapons, and I brought him here. As a result, when he approached the warehouse, he became dizzy and fled, never daring to
Talk about weapons. "

"That Zongbing Sun?"

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "His official fortune is just a general soldier, and the official fortune for body protection can at most gather a lion. Although it is similar to this 狻猊, how can a lion compare to the dragon son, 狻猊? His official fortune competes with the door gods above. If you fail, you will naturally flee.”

"Which one of you will open this lock?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the Dutong behind him.

He didn't believe that all the people under his command couldn't even subdue a lion.

"Why don't you let me kill that suanni?" King Yangzijiang spoke first.

"What did it do? It was just a coincidence. It was also its duty to guard the armory. It was not at fault, and it never left here to make trouble." Li Xiuyuan said.

King Yangzijiang said: "If you don't use brute force to kill, then you need an imperial decree. Once the imperial decree arrives, you can suppress this beast. It's not difficult to open the armory."

"I want to open an armory, so I have to ask the imperial decree to suppress it?" Li Xiuyuan laughed.

King Yangzijiang suddenly remembered Li Xiuyuan's identity, and said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Li, you can open the armory in the past and you will be able to capture it with your own hands."

"Eldest young master, let the younger one go. If the younger one doesn't believe me, I will take weapons to counter the rebellion. I will be upright and upright. Any ghosts and gods dare to stop me." Han Meng stood up and clasped his fists.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "That's right, then go and try it."

Han Meng responded, walked over immediately, took the key from the fainted treasury officer, and prepared to open the warehouse.

"Roar~!"

As soon as he approached the gate, as expected, Suan Ni on the gate instantly came to life, jumped down from the heavy gate, and went straight to Han Meng.

Han Meng is just an ordinary mortal and has not seen this scene.

The golden light in Li Xiuyuan's eyes flickered. He saw that Han Meng's head was covered with luck, which was as thick as a canopy. It can be seen that he is also a person with strong fortune and prosperous luck, and his official luck is not obvious, and his fate is hidden in it. .

Although he has divine eyesight and can watch people, but because he has not learned how to identify luck, he doesn't know what his future will be.

But the future achievements of people with such luck will definitely not be low.

Just when Suan Ni was about to pounce on the top of Han Meng's head and bite him, suddenly a red dragon rushed out from his body, blocking the attack of that Suan Ni.

"The fate is a flood dragon, Han Meng has the fate of a prince, but this flood dragon does not occupy the whole body, but hides inside, which means that he is just a potential dragon, and only rushed out to protect the Lord after being attacked by this scorpion. "Li Xiuyuan's expression changed, both joyful and emotional.

How many capable people are there among these people under his command?

However, whether Han Meng can become a prince in the future depends on the opportunity, because the potential fate will change, and it cannot compare with the fate of a natural prince.

Like that Li Liangjin, born noble, no matter how domineering, a princely title cannot escape.

At this moment, Han Meng felt a strange wind sweeping towards him, but at the same time, he also felt a cool wind blowing behind him, and the two winds were entangled in mid-air, as if they were fighting together.

"The potential flood dragon fights against Suanni, this is the protection of fate." Li Xiuyuan understood the strength of this fate in his heart.

Han Meng can even fight against ghosts and spirits like Suanni without losing the wind. No wonder he is born with a saint's fate and even ghosts and gods shy away.

"Mr. Li, Han Meng is a bit reluctant on his own. This monster is formed by the condensed gold energy in the armory. Even if Han Meng wins, he may lose his life." Yangzijiang King said.

Li Xiuyuan saw that Han Meng was unlocking the lock at the moment, but when the strong wind hit, he seemed to have sand in his eyes, squinting his eyes and couldn't see clearly, and he still couldn't open the lock.

This is not a coincidence, but the spirit is at work, preventing him from opening the lock.

"You reminded me well, it's too early for them to suppress spirits and monsters, and it won't be too late to fight ghosts and gods after they fully grow up." Li Xiuyuan smiled, and then strode over.

He strode forward and the wind around him stopped.

The Jiaolong in Han Meng's fate quickly shrank back, and during the dormant period, he did not dare to show up in front of Li Xiuyuan again.

The majestic 狻猊 also felt fear, glanced at Li Xiuyuan, and immediately shrank back with a mournful cry, and attached to the gate again, without showing any miraculous signs again.

The fate of a saint can suppress all ghosts and monsters here.

"Crack~!"

Only then did Han Meng successfully open the copper lock, his face immediately became happy, and he turned around and said, "Master, the lock has been opened."

"Go in and have a look."

Li Xiuyuan glanced at Suan Ni on the gate, the protruding copper eyes seemed afraid to look directly at him, and the light was much dimmer.

Han Meng responded and pushed open the door. The armory that had been sealed for decades was finally opened.

Seeing this, Li Bing's expression changed slightly. Sure enough, this Li Xiu was far from being idle. Even the ghosts and gods in this place gave way to him. You must know that as a magistrate, he couldn't open the door of this armory. He was just a guerrilla general. can be opened.

Soon, everyone entered the armory, lit oil lamps, and lit torches.

Under the light of the fire, everything in the armory appeared in front of my eyes.

Every weapon was wrapped in oiled paper, covered with dust. Although it had not been opened for decades, none of the weapons were rotten or damaged.

With just a slight sweep, Li Xiuyuan saw mountains of spears, waist knives, bows and arrows, armor and shields.

He randomly took a waist knife, pulled it out and looked, it was still brand new, with the edge still there.

"Looking at these weapons, it can be seen that the Song Dynasty was also prosperous and prosperous. It's a pity that the swords and soldiers were stored in the warehouse, and the horses were released on Nanshan. The prosperity is no longer there." Li Xiuyuan sighed, he could feel the era when these weapons were used, the Song Dynasty How powerful is the country's civil, political and armed forces.

Li Bing said at this moment: "General Li, the ordnance in the arsenal is enough to equip an army of [-]. I wonder how much General Li wants?"

Li Xiuyuan smiled suddenly: "The magistrate said before that the armory here has been sealed for too long, and many of the accounts have been lost. If I take more, no one will know."

"That being said, the arsenal is an important place for the imperial court, so there are too many weapons lost, so it cannot be justified." Li Bing said.

"Don't take too much. Isn't the ordnance here enough to equip an army of [-]? I only need equipment for an army of [-]. However, it has been sealed for decades, and the bow and crossbow are no longer usable. I want to take all the arrows. The armor I don't need too many, [-] sets are enough, too much is useless, but it will affect progress
military. "Li Xiuyuan said.

He currently has [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, and it is enough to arm his own army first.

With [-] elite soldiers, as long as they don't rebel, it is not a problem to run rampant in the world.

And he doesn't plan to expand the army without restraint. It's too taboo to be so big.

"General Li just needs to know what's going on in his mind. Anyway, I will be dead by then, so I won't be able to control the consequences." Li Bing said.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "It's good that my lord can think like this. Everyone is mortal. If your lord helps me today, I will definitely not regret it in the future."

"Brother Wang, I will trouble you for the next thing. Move the weapons today, arm the infantry tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow to destroy the Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin. If everything goes well, we can finish the battle before the spring and return to Jinling City." .”

"Brother Li, don't worry, leave this matter to me." Wang Ping replied.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "I'm relieved to have Brother Wang's words, by the way, what about Xing Shan."

"The little one is here." Xing Shan came out with his fists clasped.

Li Xiuyuan said: "There can be no archers in the army. I will send you [-] infantry back and let you lead alone. I can't let your archery skills go to waste."

"Thank you, young master." Xing Shan, who has always been taciturn, couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

He suddenly changed from a guard to a commander of 5000 people.

Li Xiuyuan said: "However, to be a general with 5000 troops, you must have real skills. Although I have assigned you troops, whether you can do it or not will depend on your skills. Don't let me down."

"Don't worry, young master, I understand," Xing Shan said confidently.

In the army, the selection of Dutong, Battalion Commander, and Captain is based on martial arts and skills, not just relying on relationships.

If his own ability is not enough and he is defeated by other challengers, then Xing Shan can only give up his position.

"Okay, that's all for today, let's all go back and rest." Li Xiuyuan said, and then bowed his hands to Li Bing, "I'll be accompanied by Mr. Magistrate."

"It's okay, please General Li keep his promise, otherwise I will not be safe if I am a ghost." Li Bing said with a straight face.
