Destiny Reborn

Seeing Chen Jing going down to prepare, the high priest said, with a anxious tone: "Wait a minute, some things can't be packed in ordinary containers, so be careful."

While everyone was waiting for him to continue, he seemed to stop talking because of embarrassment...

The second man sighed helplessly, and said all the precautions for some things.

When everything was ready, the high priest personally adjusted the mercury poison, and then Mu Xuyan took the high priest and Ying and the others secretly ran to the Yaoguang camp, taking advantage of the gap to mix the newly prepared mercury poison and The bottle of mercury that the high priest had given them was poured on the living dead.

As the high priest and the others said, the living dead really struggled to turn into a pool of liquid under the influence of mercury poisoning. The horrible and shrill roar made the surrounding living dead even more crazy, and even attracted the attention of the Yaoguang soldiers.

Mu Xuyan and the others retreated wisely.

However, it is impossible to solve the living dead incident so simply. The materials formulated with mercury poisoning are scarce, and as far as what is found now, there are not many bottles at all.

Moreover, the high priest also told them that the Soul Eater Hall has a method to train and control the undead. Although it may not be perfect and proficient, the undead after training cannot be treated by a small bottle of mercury poison.

Even with the strength of the living dead, more mercury poisoning is needed to solve them, and the effect of mercury poisoning may be reduced, and they are also trying to solve it, but there is no conclusion.

It's like the feeling that the Tao is one foot tall and the devil is one foot high.

Fortunately, this test told them that the current living dead are still within the controllable range, as if they can get rid of most of them with a single shot, and the existing mercury poison is enough.

Mu Xuyan sent the news back to Kyoto, asking Mu Huanchen to prepare the ingredients for mercury poisoning.

Now they are preparing for the battle in two days time.

In the next two days, Mu Xuyan followed Chen De, Fu Cheng and others to practice with the soldiers. The soldiers still obeyed Mu Xuyan's orders. As far as he was a member of the army, he was very obedient.It can be seen that Yan Feng's appeal is strong.

On the first day of the battle, Lu Linfei led his troops into battle, while Mu Xuyan watched from the sidelines.

Maybe it was a temptation, but Yaoguang didn't send out the living dead, just ordinary soldiers.

The battlefield has never been gentle, with the shocking sound of fighting, the endless sound of weapons slashing, from the rising sun to the setting sun, the yellow sand filled the sky full of blood and violence.

This kind of large-scale fighting is completely different from Mu Xuyan's previous experience of merely relying on force.The opponent's martial arts is very weak, but the enemies who are constantly rushing forward, and the steel knife that inadvertently comes out, make people hard to guard against.Even though Mu Xuyan's martial arts are advanced, he is still sweating profusely after a day of fighting.

Riluo, Mingjin, withdraw troops.

On the first day of the battle, there was no winner or loser.

"Boy Yan, how do you feel at the end of the day?" Elder Sun smiled and patted Mu Xuyan on the shoulder.

"Well, it's very different from the feeling of just relying on martial arts before."

"That's right, war pays more attention to the strategy of fighting. I don't know how high your martial arts are, old man, but there is a saying that is unmistakable. Two fists are hard to beat with four hands! Not to mention that there are so many people and so many knives. No matter how high your martial arts are and how fast you move, if hundreds of thousands

People surround you, just imagine, you have just cut off the knife stabbed by the enemy in front, so will you still have time to cut off the knife cut from the side, from the back and from above? ! "

"Old Sun is right." Mu Xuyan said with a sigh, so although the martial arts posed danger to the court, it would never be as good as an army.

"The old man has to remind you again that the battlefield is not a stage for you alone, so don't try your best to go alone, and you are not a soldier but a general, and you are not asked to lead the way!"

"Yes, the kid knows." Mu Xuyan raised the corners of his lips slightly, remembering that Mu Huanchen told him the same thing when he set off.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, let's see your performance tomorrow." Sun Lao patted Mu Xuyan on the shoulder, and then said: "It's not bad to mix with soldiers in the army^"

"They are all bloody men." Mu Xuyan nodded, perhaps because his father was Yan Feng, the soldiers, no matter how old or young, gave him some face.

In fact, it has to be said that there is Mu Xuyan's personal charm in it.

Most of the soldiers didn't read many books, and they were somewhat envious of the appearance of a scholar like Mu Xuyan. Even the only place where they disliked his weakness was blocked by Mu Xuyan's hand. After all, his martial arts Very high!Moreover, he enlisted in the army at a young age, with a noble status and no temperament of a playboy, so he still won the hearts of the soldiers.

Old Sun smiled kindly: "Boy Yan, you don't think that everything you have now is brought to you by your father Yan Feng, do you? You are too arrogant to belittle yourself."

Mu Xuyan blinked, but said nothing.

"Hey, boy, you have the charisma and charisma of your father. In a few days, you will win this battle

"

Old Sun paused: "No, no, as long as you perform well in the next few days, I will give you all the 20 troops left behind by your father!"

"Mr. Sun." Mu Xuyan looked at Mr. Sun in surprise, but there was a trace of displeasure deep in his eyes.

"You don't have to worry about you, boy." Sun Lao smiled and narrowed his eyes, misunderstood Mu Xuyan's meaning: "The generals on the frontier here are waiting for you, the young general!"

"Hey, wait for the old man to finish first." Sun Lao interrupted what Mu Xuyan was about to say: "General Tieding Bangtie, you know that right?

"

Mu Xuyan nodded: "General Tie recommended me to join the army."

"Yeah, old man Tie treats your father, um, I mean Yan Feng, as his own son. After your father died in battle, the imperial court wanted to take his soldiers and reorganize them. How could old man Tie be willing to take Yan Feng's hard work?" A group of people who worked so hard to cultivate was disbanded, not to mention hearing that you were born at that time, so they left the entire border guards and moved to the imperial capital with a few families."

"If it wasn't for the old man Tie, I'm afraid these soldiers were all divided up by the Ji family or someone else."

"Is that so?" Mu Xuyan began to recall Old General Tie. In his memory, he didn't get along with Tie Dingbang much, but when he was a child, he felt that he was a majestic old man, but sometimes he would bring him snacks outside the palace to coax him. he.But several times when he showed off the food in front of his father, his father would say that the snacks outside the palace were not clean or something.

As he grows older, the chances of getting along with General Tie decrease day by day.I have never heard of the soldiers who let him succeed Yan Feng.

team thing.

"Boy Yan, did you think of something?" Elder Sun asked with narrowed eyes, looking like an old fox.

"Or, Mr. Sun, what do you want to say?" Mu Xuyan narrowed his eyes slightly to conceal the sharpness inside.

"Ha, boy, smart." Elder Sun laughed loudly: "How can you allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the king's couch! I have fought wars for decades, old man, and I see tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people every day. I still have a little bit of ability to judge people." of."

"Your current father, Emperor Tianlin, doesn't look as simple as it looks on the surface."

"Old Sun!" Mu Xuyan's tone was a little displeased, what is this, since he left the palace, how many times he has heard others speak ill of his father!

"Hey, Yan boy, you are angry." Elder Sun stroked his beard: "What are you doing so excitedly? I didn't finish my sentence, so I gave me anxious glances."

"..." Mu Xuyan was embarrassed, as if it was true, Mr. Sun just said that his father was not easy, and didn't say anything bad. It must be that Chu Ge has been talking bad about his father recently, which made him nervous Xixi.

"Old Sun, the kid is being reckless, please continue." Mu Xuyan bowed and said calmly.

"Hey, brat, you really have one thing on the outside and another on the back. It seems that the emperor taught you to be a little fox."

"..." Mr. Sun, do you dare to mutter any louder? !Mu Xuyan decided to pretend he didn't hear it.

"Ahem..." After coughing twice, Elder Sun continued with a smile: "You should know, the emperor and Yan Feng used to be sworn brothers, and Yan Feng's brat is a big bastard, you think you will fall in love with a text The frail emperor became his brother?

! That guy has no distinction in his eyes. "

"..." So this group of old generals determined that his father's belly was dark based on Yan Feng's friendship habits?So arbitrary!

"I know you don't believe me, right?" Elder Sun sighed, "That's right, the emperor must be playing a very gentle person in front of you. It's really difficult to change your perception after getting along for more than ten years." The old man didn't know that Mu Xuyan already knew the other side of Mu Huanchen's gentleness very well.

"Believe it." Mu Xuyan said hesitantly, acting like my father is not gentle and scheming?How can it be!My father is clearly the Holy Mother White Lotus!

Sun Lao read and "understood" Mu Xuyan's facial expression, and smiled: "Hey, boy, if you don't believe it, don't believe it, and you're still playing this game with the old man.

set. "

"Old Sun, the boy really believes it." Mu Xuyan said in a very serious tone, what he said is really the truth!Although the expression on my face is that my father is the Holy Mother and the white lotus has not wavered for 100 years!

In fact, he is just talking!

"Hmph." Elder Sun hummed and smacked his lips inexplicably. Mu Xuyan watched as Elder Sun smacked his beard in and spit it out again, with no expression on his face.

After a while, Elder Sun said: "Actually, the emperor is the most cunning guy. When your father was fighting, the emperor actually thought up many methods. He was an invisible military adviser in the army. Back then, Huangfu was still hanging The title of military advisor, but we have never seen who Huangfu military advisor is. It wasn’t until one day that your father won the battle and was drunk by the soldiers in the barracks one by one, and then he was tricked out. That Huangfu military advisor is the current Holy Majesty.”

Mu Xuyan was embarrassed, feeling that his biological father was too restrained. Fortunately, a group of soldiers didn't know that Huangfu was in the arena.

What kind of status do you have.

In fact, he didn't know that Yan Feng was very interesting, even if he was drunk like mud, he kept his mouth shut, but the military adviser at that time was also a slick master, guessing the identity of Huangfu's military adviser one by one, Yan Feng just kept his mouth shut. Don't let go.

The military adviser was also helpless, gave up and said jokingly: "It can't be the emperor."

Yan Feng was very drunk at the time, and his reaction ability was not very good. When he heard the word "emperor", he thought the military adviser had guessed it right. The surprised expression on his face also shocked everyone. Fuck, it's really the emperor!The most unlikely guy.

So... fate always loves to play tricks on people.

Elder Sun laughed halfway through his speech and said, "After you found out from your father that the military adviser behind the scenes was the emperor, our shocked expressions at that time, we can definitely stuff a duck egg! The emperor's news is also fast, he is still in the barracks. Someone else was installed, and after knowing that we knew his identity, what he immediately expressed and hinted was the same as the stick, so no one dared to reveal his identity."

"Tsk tsk, we've known since that day that the emperor is far from being as simple as we saw."

Mu Xuyan imagined the scene at that time, and a smile surged up. In order to hold back, his face was a little distorted, but in Sun Lao's eyes, it became such an expression of shock, how could it be possible!

"To be honest, the emperor really has the potential to become an overlord. After your father died in battle, it is normal for him to withdraw his troops. No overlord would be willing to let an army of 20 people be controlled by others."

"That's why old man Tie returned to the imperial capital to give the emperor a reassurance. But now the old generals are about to come down, and new generals cannot be appointed directly without inspection, so old man Tie begged to let you come out. The 20 The army will give it to you sooner or later, and it is your responsibility to keep it.”

"But..." Elder Sun's laughing voice suddenly became serious: "But, we are not sure whether the emperor trusts you enough. If he has doubts about you, then this time will bring you a great disaster!" Suspicious king, how can you allow yourself to hand over the sharp blade to others to deal with yourself?

"Old Sun, you worry too much." Mu Xuyan sighed softly, but his heart became more and more uneasy. The thread has been found, and the beads to be strung together are becoming more and more conspicuous, but they are so dazzling that they dare not touch them. touch.

Mu Xuyan remained calm: "I believe that the emperor trusts me, otherwise he would not have sent me out. Since he has sent me out, he will naturally allow me to take over the 20 soldiers."
