king array

Xu Guang was silenced, and several guards around him immediately drew their swords and surrounded Ling Xun and others.

Ling Xun poked his head out from behind Mu Jiu innocently, waved his hands and said, "It's none of my business, I didn't do anything, why are you scaring people with knives and guns? I know I'm timid."

What did Xu Guang think of Ling Xun's lack of beating, the veins on his forehead burst out, but he didn't dare to act rashly because he was afraid of Mu Jiu, so he could only stare blankly.

Ling Xun sighed and said, "How do you know what you want to say just by staring? Your eyes are not pretty. Huaifeng, you should undo the silence technique for him."

Hearing the words "Forbidden Speech", Xu Guang's face turned from blue to white, and then from white to green again, and then he opened his mouth, and he was able to speak.

"You, you are a formation master!" Even though he was famous in Jingzhou for his unparalleled bravery, he subconsciously took two steps back and stared at Mu Jiu as if he was some kind of scourge in human skin.

But Mu Jiu didn't answer, just cupped his hands at Ling Xun, said "Master", and stood beside him with his head bowed.

Ling Xun was flattered in his heart, although Mu Jiu called him "Lord" quite a few times, but it was the first time that he showed such a humble attitude.He knew that this was Mu Jiu's intention to support himself, so he forced his composure on his face and just nodded with a smile, showing a bit of sophistication in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

The reason why the Great Xia Dynasty was so afraid of formation mages was not without reason. Even if the way of formations had declined for hundreds of years, people would change color slightly when mentioning formation mages, not to mention that there was still a living person standing in front of them this time.

Even if Xu Guang looked down on Ling Xun, he didn't want to fight against the formation master. He ordered someone to arrange a cabin for them and ignored it. Money is sex, not a serious means.

The four of them took their seats in the cabin, and Ling Xun knew that it would be impossible to get news out of Xu Guang's dislike for him, so he called the two soldiers who welcomed them onto the boat and asked : "I heard people say that the lower reaches of the river are flooded, but now there has been no heavy rain for several months, so how can there be floods?"

The two soldiers both showed indignation, "It's not a good thing Liangzhou soldiers did!"

"Oh? What's going on, why don't you two tell me about it?" Ling Xun also inquired about a lot of wars on the way out of Qingping Mountain, but most of them were hearsay from the people, not as accurate as the military battle reports.

The two soldiers explained the current situation in the Central Plains with each other. It turned out that after the capital was burned, Chen Bing led Liangzhou soldiers to advance eastward, chasing Qin Chao and others who fled to Luoyang, trying to retake the capital. Unexpectedly, the young emperor was blocked by Wei Zhao, Marquis of Nanyang.

Because of their ancestral military exploits, the Wei family inherited the nobles from generation to generation, and was stationed in Yanzhou in name. In fact, through marriage and annexation over the years, they have controlled Qing, Xu, Henan, and Yan prefectures.Even if Liangzhou's soldiers were a division of tigers and wolves, it would be difficult for them to gain benefits against the Marquis of Nanyang. The momentum of Pozhu was cut off, and they could only stalemate in the Jianghuai area.

Seeing the battle line stretched out and food and grass running low, Chen Bing jumped over the wall and came up with a bad idea. He planned to attack with water, so with the help of his formation mages, he destroyed several important dams in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and flooded the three states. Acres of fields in the village.

"Boss Feng, doesn't Boss Feng know the folk nursery rhymes in the Jianghuai area now? 'The jackals go, the tigers and leopards come, the bones of the common people, and the mourning birds eat' refers to Qin Chao and Chen Bing." Can't stop rubbing her sleeves, "I have an aunt. The village where I married happened to be flooded. The whole family has no one to live. My little cousin is only three years old this year."

Although the short soldier had no relatives to suffer, he felt uncomfortable and patted his pockmarked shoulder on the shoulder to comfort him.

Ling Xun frowned when he heard this, "Why is this Chen Bing so tyrannical and ruthless, flooding the three states... The formation masters under his command are not afraid of being punished by heaven? The reputation of formation masters is ruined by such people!"

"That's right, soldiers from Liangzhou did all sorts of crimes, and even looted villages and villages everywhere, claiming to be looking for something."

Ling Xun and Mu Jiu looked at each other and asked, "What is it?"

The soldier with a pockmarked face scratched his head and recalled, "It seems to be some kind of formation. If you get it, you can win the world."

"Sovereign Formation?" Ling Xun raised his spirits and said immediately.

"Yes, this is it! King's Formation!" Pockmarked face slapped his forehead.

The short man added: "In fact, it's not just Liangzhou soldiers. I heard that many local tyrants are looking for this thing."

What exactly is the King's Formation?When Ling Xun heard Mu Jiu mention it for the first time, he didn't take it to heart, but looking at it now, he was convinced that it was not a good thing.He didn't believe that with just a small formation, he could win the world, but in the end it was just a carrot hanging in front of the donkey, which he could see but couldn't eat.

The world doesn't know how many stupid donkeys there are, who don't know the way forward, but only know how to chase after them. In the end, they lost their front hooves and fell off the cliff, and ended up being broken into pieces.

"Huaifeng, you have to remind me that I can't be that stupid donkey." Ling Xun thought like this in his mind, and then subconsciously said it to Mu Jiu.Everyone in the room didn't know why Ling Xun suddenly made such a nonsensical sentence, but Mu Jiu, who seemed to understand, gave a slight bow, cherishing it.

After Ling Xun finished speaking, he realized that he had lost his composure. Fortunately, his skin was so thick that he couldn't see the blush. Seeing the two soldiers looking over in confusion, he followed Mu Jiu's example and made himself look calm.

The sailboat sailed on the big river towards the opposite bank. Because the downstream bank burst and the water recharged, the upstream water level rose steadily, and the speed of the water flow was extremely fast. Later, the sails on the boat had to change the direction at any time, and the wind force was used to prevent the boat from traveling forward. too long.In this way, the hull of the boat is like a leaf falling in the wind, which can shake people's internal organs out during the ups and downs.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the sky took on an unusual purple-red color.

Mu Jiu looked out of the window, and suddenly said, "A formation mage forms an formation."

Ling Xun suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart, as if something was pressing on his chest, making him uncomfortable, "Can you see what kind of formation is formed? Is there a way to stop it?"

Mu Jiu shook his head and said, "The formation has been activated, and there will be news soon. Let the boat go northwest, away from the southeast."

Ling Xun called a few times, but no one was called. Presumably, manpower is needed for sailing in the strong wind, and no one has time to pay attention to them, so he rushed out of the cabin himself, opened the door at first, and was almost pushed back by the strong wind without warning. !He had no choice but to use his internal strength and try again, this time he stepped out of the hatch.

"General Xu!" Ling Xun ran to the deck, and was about to talk to Xu Guang, but at this moment, all the people on the deck gathered at the bow, looking towards the river.Ling Xun looked in the direction they were looking at, and saw a military sailboat approaching in the distance. The specifications and construction of the sailboat were higher than Xu Guang's, and the one mainsail alone was better than Xu Guang's three sails. It adds up to a lot.

Xu Guang is already the commander of the navy in Jingzhou, so who can surpass him in terms of the size of the ships?I'm afraid this boat is the main ship of the Yuan family and his son.Ling Xun speculated like this, and when the boat approached, he saw the flag hanging on the boat, with a huge "Yuan" written on it.

Could it be Yuan Xi?

Sure enough, at this time, a lieutenant on the deck shouted: "General, that is the second son's ship!"

"General, no, the draft of this ship is wrong!" another lieutenant said.

Xu Guang has practiced on the water all year round, so how could he not notice the waterline of the ship, he raised his eyebrows immediately, and shouted: "No! The ship is going to sink! Turn the rudder and retreat quickly, be careful not to be brought into the vortex by the sinking ship, and send another 40 people put the boat and approach in a fan shape! Make sure that the second son is safe!"

Xu Guang usually manages the army well, and he executes orders as soon as they are issued. Even if there are forty sailors, they release small boats to approach the big ship.

The arrangement was urgent and orderly. Although Ling Xun was at odds with Xu Guang, he couldn't help saying hello from the bottom of his heart, admitting that he was a rare general.

The most important thing now is to save people, and Ling Xun couldn't make Xu Guang adjust the course according to Mu Jiu's wishes for a while, so he could only stand quietly and wait for them to save people.

Ten small boats approached the big boat one after another, and from time to time someone jumped off the big boat and was picked up by the small boat.Ling Xun's eyes were sharp, and he quickly saw that Yuan Xi was not among these people, and the feeling of stuffiness came back again.

Is this really Yuan Zijin's boat?So why isn't he on it?

Others on board quickly noticed this too. The lieutenant standing next to Xu Guang was about to speak, but Xu Guang raised his hand to stop him with a sullen face, "We'll talk when someone comes up."

Not long after, the master ship of the Yuan family capsized slowly in the middle of the water, and the ten boats gathered together, and all the people on board were rescued. However, Xu Guang's five-sail boat was not affected by the vortex of the sunken ship because it turned back in time. .

After pulling the person onto the boat, Xu Guang finally changed his composure, grabbed a person by the neck, and with a grim face, he couldn't wait to ask, "Where is the second son!"

The man was soaked from head to toe by the water, trembling and crying: "General, two hours ago, the second son went ashore from Poyangkou to inspect the dam beside the river..."

Xu Guang slapped the man across the face, and glared at him, "Young master, go ashore and cry!"

Unexpectedly, the man cried even harder, "The dam at Poyangkou burst, and all [-] counties were submerged. The second son, he is missing..."

Ling Xun felt his head buzzing suddenly, and was almost untenable by the sudden lifting of the boat.

But he was only blank for a moment, then quickly rushed to Xu Guang, grabbed his lapel, "Give me Yuan Xi's jade pendant!"

Xu Guang didn't think that at such a time, the embroidered young man with thin skin and tender flesh would join in the fun again, and immediately wanted to pull out his ear scraper, but he didn't expect that before he could make a move, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest, it was Unable to move, his eyes widened in surprise, and he glanced at the hands that grabbed his skirt.

This person... has extraordinary internal strength.

"Have you heard that? What are you still doing? Give me Yuan Zijin's jade pendant!"

Xu Guang has seen Feng Wuge quite a few times, but he has never seen him so fierce. Those peach blossom eyes that are always smiling are so cold that the bones of the people are cold at this moment, as if they can melt into a heart-piercing expression at any time. the sharp edge.He almost uncontrollably took out the jade pendant from his bosom.

Suddenly a thunderbolt fell from the sky, and it rained cats and dogs.

Ling Xun didn't care about being drenched by the rain, so he took the jade pendant and put Xu Guang aside, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and drew complex runes on the deck with the rain.

"Nine palaces and eight trigrams are on the top of the palm, where the universe is vertical and horizontal, the earth's ears and the sky's eyes are hidden, and I know everything about yin and yang. Get up!" He muttered the mantra in a low voice, and placed Yuan Xi's jade pendant on top of the rune, and the golden light of the rune suddenly shone , he hurriedly closed his eyes and focused his attention, following Mu Jiu's instructions, he used the people-finding array to find Yuan Xi's whereabouts.

But Xu Guang, who watched his actions, was completely stunned, almost kneeling down.

Unexpectedly, Feng Wuge of Jinxiu Tower...is actually a formation mage!
