【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Yuan Zhongxin and Yuan Bofin were talking in the main hall, and Zhao Jian and others could not go in to disturb them. Everyone looked at Wang Kuan and Tang Shun standing on the vermilion long bridge with curiosity.

Xiaojing tilted his head blankly: "Sister Zhao, what do you think Brother Wang and Brother Tang are talking about? Why do they look so weird?"

Zhao Jian slandered in her heart, what else could these two people talk about when they got together, most likely it was Yuan Zhongxin, and the remaining one or two matters were related to Yuan Zhongxin—she thought so in her heart, but she definitely wouldn't say it out, so she could only shrug it off. He shrugged: "I don't know either, it probably has something to do with the Yinbing Pavilion."

When it comes to the Yinbing Pavilion, everyone's faces are not very good. After experiencing the bad things that happened three years ago, any fool can understand that the Yinbing Pavilion is a place dedicated to cultivating perverts. Just look at Lin Yao.

Ever since Tang Shun suggested that Yuan Zhongxin wanted to help him destroy the Yin Bing Pavilion, Fan Zaizhi’s expression had been gloomy, and his brows were full of worry. He couldn’t stop sighing, feeling helpless: “This kid Yuan Zhongxin is really brave. How dare you hit your thoughts on the Yinbing Pavilion."

Wei Yanei cautiously asked: "Master Fan, what secret is hidden in the Yinbing Pavilion? Why do you all seem to be very scared?"

Fan Zaizhi glanced at him: "Really want to know?"

Wei Yanei nodded quickly: "That's natural."

Fan Zaizhi smiled wryly: "I'm afraid that after you know the details of the Yinbing Pavilion, you won't have the guts to confront it head-on—but, sooner or later, you all need to know, so it doesn't hurt to tell you in advance."

According to the only surviving Great Xia Strange Records in the Great Song Library, the Yinbing Pavilion has existed since the beginning of the Great Xia Dynasty, but at that time, the Yinbing Pavilion was not called the Yinbing Pavilion, it had another name, Hulong Pavilion, as the name suggests That is, all the people in it were born to protect the various clans of the imperial dynasty. Although they are dragon guard soldiers, everyone in the Dragon Guard Pavilion has a prominent family background and a noble status. At that time, in order to ensure that the dragon guards were loyal enough, the first emperor of the Great Xia would purposely select a new generation of dragon guards from various branches of the royal family, who were of the same clan, so as to protect the dictatorship and power of the Great Xia Dynasty to the greatest extent.

At that time, the Dragon Guard Pavilion was still a place where loyal guardians devoted their lives to the country, and the dragon guards were thus given the highest respect in the entire Great Xia. Whenever there is a dragon guard in the family, it means that the family is rich and powerful. Gui, although he has no real power in his hands, but no one in the court is disrespectful - this is also the means of the imperial power to win over the Dragon Pavilion.

Fan Zaizhi looked a little dazed, looked at the dimming sunlight in the sky, and said, "So, a long time ago, Daxia had a well-known and interesting saying that there are dragon guards in the family, and wealth can be spent in a thousand days. Let me say this, You should all understand how important the dragon guards were to Da Xia at that time."

"Then what happened next?" It was An Lijiu who asked the question.

Fan Zaizhi took a deep breath and continued: "Later, a traitor appeared in the Dragon Guard Pavilion, and that traitor tried to cooperate with one of the princes of Daxia, overthrow the previous emperor's certificate, and push that prince to the throne, but the dragon guards refused to agree. , united to kill him and his evil party."

Wei Yanei seemed to be listening to a story, and couldn't wait to say: "Then and then?"

Fan Zaizhi: "It failed."

Wei Yanei breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm talking about the failure of the dragon guards."

Except for Wei Zhuoran and Wang Canzheng and those older adults, Zhao Jian and the others immediately widened their eyes in astonishment. Xiao Heshu has been an official for several years, and he has never heard of such a thing happening in Daxia. He asked in surprise : "Who is that traitor?"

Fan Zaizhi replied: "Ning Qi, Marquis of Qian'an, is also the current Lord of the Yin Bing Pavilion."

Fan Zaizhi didn't know anything about Ning Qi's strength and what methods he used to help the prince rise to power. He only knew that 17 years ago, Ning Qi was only a teenager at that time, but he had already practiced An exquisite and nine-orifice heart, the city is extremely deep, step by piece one after another, and climb to the pinnacle of power by inhuman means, even if the prince he supported ascended the throne and became the emperor, there is still no one. Any power to deal with Ning Qi.

"After Ning Qi grasped the lifeline of Hulong Pavilion, he wiped out all the original Dragon Hubing soldiers within two days, and renamed it Yinbing Pavilion, and still recruited the children of the Daxia royal family. Besides, In order to consolidate his power and status, Ning Qi not only recruited Yin soldiers himself, but also threatened and lured all civil and military officials in the court to pay tribute to a group of young children to enter the Yin soldiers Pavilion every other month. In this way, no one would dare Against him."

Ning Qi held all the power to kill and kill in his hands, and the Great Xia Dynasty no longer had real power, so Ning Qi became the regent for a while.

Xiaojing asked puzzledly: "Then why do you say that the Yinbing Pavilion is terrible, shouldn't it be Ning Qi?"

Fan Zaizhi sneered helplessly, and asked a question instead: "Do you know what the Yin soldiers mean?"

As soon as these words came out, the air immediately stagnated.

Yin also has the meaning of death. Yin soldiers are dead soldiers. It is self-evident what kind of place the Yin Bing Pavilion is.

"Dragon guard soldiers are trained by orthodox soldiers. The difference between them and ordinary soldiers may be that they have different skills and specialties, but Yin soldiers are different. Those children are only four or five years old, and they have to start receiving training. All kinds of inhuman training and torture have been subjected to this kind of training since childhood. I am afraid that the mind will become very different from ordinary people. Cold-blooded cruelty is an essential quality for Yin soldiers. Every mission they perform is killing. Almost every place they visited was filled with corpses and rivers of blood, and in order to complete the task, they would do whatever they could to——shouldn’t you have come into contact with all of these?”

What Fan Zaizhi said made Zhao Jian and others fall into silence. They naturally knew the deep meaning in Fan Zaizhi's words. Back then, Lin Yao killed Baliang and Lin Liang, and they didn't say anything, and Yuan Zhongxin suffered a lot. Tortured for half life, life and life were separated from them for three years.

Fan Zaizhi's eyes were full of sadness: "Just one Lin Yao can cause such a high cost of disaster, let alone..."

A sense of foreboding suddenly surged in An Lijiu's heart: "What's more?"

Fan Zaizhi closed his eyes heavily, feeling powerless: "According to incomplete statistics, there are 80 people in the Yinbing Pavilion, all of whom are elite soldiers."

Everyone gasped suddenly, their scalps tingling.

80 elite soldiers.

Even Liang Zhu, who commanded the Xuanwu Army, had only 30 soldiers under his command. If Yuan Zhongxin really wanted to compete with the Yinbing Pavilion, he would undoubtedly be a mantis.

Liang Zhu naturally understood this truth, he asked in a calm voice: "Can't we borrow troops from the imperial court?"

Wei Zhuoran looked up at Liang Zhu: "Have you forgotten where the secret pavilion is?"

Although the Secret Pavilion is a college that recruits talents, it is also a place to help the court complete tasks that the government cannot come forward to complete. However, there is no record of the Secret Pavilion in the official case books of the Song Dynasty, so the existence of the Secret Pavilion itself is not subject to any restrictions. Any official acknowledgment is the same for the Yinbing Pavilion. Since Ning Qi took command of the Yinbing Pavilion, the Daxia official case has erased all information about the Yinbing Pavilion.

To put it simply, both the Secret Pavilion and the Yinbing Pavilion are places that everyone can see, but they can abandon them at will in a critical moment. It's just that the former exists for the peace of the Song Dynasty, and the latter exists to satisfy Ning Qi. Standing stubbornly because of selfish desires.

How could such a place not officially recognized be able to borrow officers and soldiers from the emperor?

Zhao Jian frowned, and she said resolutely: "But now the entire Great Song Dynasty is in our hands, as long as Wang Kuan comes forward, he will have to borrow it even if he doesn't want to."

Lord Zhao rubbed his brows: "How can it be so easy, we don't even have a soldier talisman, how can we borrow soldiers?"

"Besides, even if he had a soldier talisman, Yuan Zhongxin wouldn't want to use it." As soon as Wang Kuan approached, he heard everyone discussing the Yinbing Pavilion, and he said suddenly.

Wang Shenzheng was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Wang Kuan lowered his eyes slightly: "Yuan Zhongxin is not the kind of person who goes to the battlefield without any preparations. If he really needs a soldier talisman, he will tell him about the battle with the Yin Bing Pavilion three years ago, so that I can use it for three years." It’s time to snatch all the important soldier talismans, but he doesn’t have it, it proves that he doesn’t need it, or in other words, he doesn’t want to use it.”

The people from the Yinbing Pavilion were targeting him from the very beginning, and Yuan Zhongxin knew better than anyone else that in this case, it was his business to deal with the Yinbing Pavilion, dragging hundreds of thousands of irrelevant people into this war , Yuan Zhongxin couldn't do it, if there was no other way, Yuan Zhongxin didn't even want to tell Zhao Jian and Fan Zaizhi about it.

All of the above, Tang Shun didn't need to say it, Wang Kuan Shun Teng could figure it out.

Finally, because of Yuan Zhongxin's return, the atmosphere became more relaxed and joyful, and because of the Yin Bing Pavilion, it became dull and dignified again. Everyone's heart felt like a huge stone was pressed down, and it was difficult to breathe.

This is a duel that is not subject to rectification. Either win the glory or lose completely. For them, if they win, they will never suffer from future troubles. If they lose, they will have no possibility of turning around. They can only die on the battlefield.

However, they seem to have no chance of winning. It is ridiculous to think about them facing 80 elite soldiers.

how to spell?

It seems... can't fight.

An Lijiu chuckled suddenly: "Isn't it just a war, at worst, let's fight to the death."

Su Yi gently held An Lijiu's hand, her eyes were firm. Although she was speechless, she gave An Lijiu great encouragement.

Liang Zhu said calmly and calmly: "Since ancient times, many battles have been won with less. Even Zhuge Kongming has a precedent of repelling millions of enemy troops with an empty city strategy. I don't believe it. Yuan Zhongxin's brain can Can't think of a good countermeasure? I have nearly 30 Xuanwu troops under my command, let him send me!"

There was an inaudible smile in the corner of Fan Zaizhi's eyes: "The same goes for the Hundred Thousand Cavalry Army in Northern Xinjiang."

Master Ming clenched his fists and said in a firm voice, "Young Master Yuan has helped us, so the Pei family will naturally help! This old man will set off for Korea immediately, and ask the military department to send reinforcements!"

Wang Canzheng looked at Wang Kuan: "How many private soldiers do you have?"

Wang Kuan understated: "Twenty thousand elite soldiers."

Wang Shenzheng's face was blank, and his son was so strong that he raised [-] private soldiers in three years. At first, Meng Tianyang tried to raise [-] private soldiers, but in the end he had to give up because the expenses were too high and he couldn't keep up.

Li Muhe said calmly: "Although I don't have any troops to support, I can guarantee your wartime necessities. If you need anything, just tell me."

Gu Shi turned his head and asked quietly, "Gu Xi Gu Li, what can we do?"

Before Gu Xi could answer, the bastard had suddenly realized: "That's right! I can vacate Wumu Village for them to live in!"

After Gu Changkun's death, Gu Shi became the head of Wumu Village, not to mention how proud he was.

Gu Shi smiled meanly: "How about it, Gu Li, am I very smart?"

Gu Li glanced at him: "Who are you? I don't know you."

Gu Shi: "..."

The crowd couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, a voice came with a smile, clear and bright: "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Everyone turned their heads in surprise, and saw Yuan Zhongxin and Yuan Bofin standing not far behind them, they must have stood there for a long time, and heard their discussion clearly.

Yuan Zhongxin frowned and smiled, looking at the family in front of him with relief, his heart was moved.

After they knew about the Yin Bing Pavilion, they didn't think about how to escape, but how to gather troops and win the battle well, no one thought about retreating.

Wang Kuan and the others focused their gazes firmly and resolutely on Yuan Zhongxin, with a frank smile on his face, suddenly feeling majestic and heroic.

Three years ago, Yuan Zhongxin faced the menacing Yin Bing Pavilion almost alone, and protected them under his wings. Although he was not angry in his heart, he could only swallow his anger and bide his time!

But this time, they can finally fight side by side and live and die together!
