The undercover agent sent by the imperial court

Ling Xuan walked out of the main hall, the red flames illuminated the sky, Ling Xuan folded his hands and put on a white cloak casually, watching the heavy snow gradually disappear as April approached, there was already a tinge of warmth at noon, but it was still very cold at night cold.

The subjects in the outer city had been transferred in advance, and the residents who were arranged to live in various places came out one after another. Chu Yun was carrying a cart of fragrant wood towards the street and dumped them all in the eyes of the formation. The formation gradually returned to normal The light of the fire also gradually dimmed due to lack of fuel.

Yin Tianming handed over a coat and Ling Xuan untied the cloak, put on the coat and put on the cloak again, "Why do you like to do things at night, it's not good for sleep."

"Because it's night, I don't think it will be discovered." Yin Tianming said lightly, the black sword body stood casually beside him, dripping blood all the way along the way.

"What gave them such stupid ideas." Ling Xuan sneered, "The state capital of Liuzhou seems to belong to the eldest prince, no wonder they rebelled. It must be that idiot Chu Tian who just threw him away."

"Mo Chenwen was also abandoned in this way. Mo Chenwen was not a very loyal person and was directly thrown to the front line." Yin Tianming sighed, "Wei Cang is patriotic, but it is a pity that he still ended up like that."

"It's a child's idea to just abandon those who are not loyal. How can there be so many loyal subordinates." Ling Xuan said disdainfully, "In the end, Chu State was defeated by such fools."

"Without Liuzhou, nearly ten towns have surrendered on the road, and the prestige of the prince has already spread to the surrounding area." Yin Tianming looked down at Ling Xuan with a smile and said, "What do you think?"

Ling Xuan blinked, "Thanks to my stupid opponent for making me so famous, I hope the big army will arrive soon so that I can take over the city."

"I always feel that it won't be so easy." Yin Tianming looked in the direction of the city gate, "I'll go and see if you want to come together?"

"Let's go together." Ling Xuan straightened his clothes, "It's safer this way." I'm safer.

Yin Tianming smiled and the two walked forward in the dark street. The guard roughly explained the situation and told everyone to go home and stay away. You could also hear the voice of discussion. Even though they had already returned home, many people were still complaining. .

The power of gunpowder is well known to most people in this well-educated town. Even Ling Xuan’s killing of the royal family and so many ministers has never caused so many discussions, because his own life is at stake. Come here has the war started?

The city gate no longer exists, and it cannot be completely absent. It is just because it is made of wood, even if it is strong under such an attack, it has become a decoration. It is now blocked by boulders.

"I don't know what happened to the city wall." Ling Xuan said, looking at the soldiers who were still putting out the fire.

"It's probably a bit confusing. After all, there is such a large amount of gunpowder that if you want to come out of the siege engine, you can't stop it." Yin Tianming approached the busy army, "How soon can General Dong and the others arrive?"

"I don't know. If there is no letter, it must be blocked by outsiders." Ling Xuan stepped forward on the scorched earth, "Now he is surrounded, but luckily he got the test results."

"You mean?" Yin Tianming frowned slightly, knowing the existence of gunpowder and letting them use it like this, even Yin Tianming couldn't figure out what Ling Xuan was thinking now.

"Gunpowder was discovered when the first emperor came to the dynasty to establish the country." Ling Xuan lowered his head and crushed a piece of wood with his feet, "At that time, gunpowder was not so powerful. It existed only for entertainment, and at most it hurt ordinary people a little It's just for use, and it can't do damage to the armor, and the burning time is short, so it doesn't matter."

"Later, people from the Dongfang Mansion came to the dynasty to serve the ancestors to improve gunpowder and discovered the great power of gunpowder, and then gunpowder began to enter the battlefield." Ling Xuan said here with a sigh of relief, "But the land destroyed by gunpowder is very difficult. It is considered an evil thing to cultivate again, but the increasingly powerful gunpowder has attracted the attention of the emperor."

"The Dynasty began to fully control the circulation and use of gunpowder, and the research of the Dongfang Mansion did not stop because of this until one day." Ling Xuan listened to the roar outside, "We suddenly discovered that maybe even the formation that the Dynasty has repaired for a hundred years cannot Block the power of gunpowder."

"Cannon?" Yin Tianming clenched the sword in his hand, "I heard that if it is that thing, it can be broken no matter what it is."

"Yes, the research has finally reached this point." Ling Xuan tilted his head, "But I don't think formations can't stop it, even artillery can't do it like Ouyang Wangu's valley."

"But it will be achieved one day, right?" Yin Tianming said while guarding the surroundings, "If the research continues."

"There won't be that day." Ling Xuan also pulled out his sword and said lightly, "Everything has its upper limit, and gunpowder has already reached this upper limit. Maybe adding something to it will increase its power, but as gunpowder, it has already reached the upper limit. Summit, all I want to do is... make sure there's something to stop it."

"Chu Yunhui is a good example. I want to hand over the imperial formation to him." Ling Xuan and Yin Tianming stepped on the city wall, and the siege engine equipped with stones was not far away.

"But we are about to face bigger troubles now." Yin Tianming said helplessly.

"Isn't there still you here?" Ling Xuan smiled relaxedly, "Master Yinda."

"It's really too much." Yin Tianming shook his head helplessly, "Then, I'm leaving, so be careful."

Ling Xuan waved his sword, "Hey, I know."

The flames were still burning slowly, and everyone in the city was arranged to put out the fire. The soldiers stood on the wall and raised their bows and arrows, "Listen to my orders!"

Ling Xuan raised his sword, "Fire the arrow!"

The rain of arrows shot out following Yin Tianming's falling figure, Ling Xuan stood on the high platform, "The third team! Withdraw five meters to the right!"

Putting away their bows and arrows, the third team immediately left the spot from the rear and interspersed among the next team. Huge rocks flew in and destroyed the original position of the third team. The fourth team stood expressionlessly on the same spot as if it had collapsed on the side. Doesn't exist, "Shoot arrows at the right wing!"

This is the first time to play such a big chessboard, Ling Xuan watched the opponent's flag bearer keep falling, and the siege vehicle was destroyed, "Shoot the arrow!"

It's great to be able to cheat so blatantly, Ling Xuan shouted emotionally, "The first team! Quit ten meters!" As soon as the words fell, Ling Xuan was the first to run, and it was too dangerous for the first team to be right under him.

There is more than one high platform on the city wall. Ling Xuan picked a fairly solid one to step on. Usually this is the place for the flag bearer, but it is a minimum for the commander to know martial arts. After the internal force is released, there are basically not many high platforms on the imperial city wall. Yes, but there are quite a lot of high platforms on the Chu side.

You don't need to turn your head to look at Ling Xuan, you know that the position behind is probably unsafe. This siege vehicle has a very high range. Good to run fast.

"Keep attacking! Don't stop!"

So why is there a big battle at night, Ling Xuan impatiently lit a torch and threw it out, hoping to illuminate a little bit.

It was indeed lit, and Ling Xuan touched some unburned gunpowder and exploded in a circle. If the torch hadn't come out of his hand, Ling Xuan would have suspected that he had thrown explosives.

Ling Xuan squinted his eyes after leaning on the city wall and observed below for a while, "Is everything moved here?"

"It's all ready! My lord!" A voice from the next door came through the stone, and Ling Xuan stood on the stone a few times to look, "Okay, transport it to the teams to prepare for the start."

"Yes!"

Ling Xuan got up and looked at the army in the distance, and he didn't know what happened to Yin Tianming, "Squad number two, three, four, five and six! Stop attacking!"

The team on Ling Xuan's right stopped, and Ling Xuan watched for a while and shouted, "Throw all the stones down! Quick!"

I knew you had hidden a batch of gunpowder!Ling Xuan's left hand was still attacking, picked up a stone and Ling Xuan rubbed it against the head of a person who came over. It was really troublesome that the two sides were separated and it would be difficult to handle.

I don't know if the city wall can hold it. Just as Ling Xuan was thinking about it, a person rushed over, "My lord, it's not good. There are more and more cracks in the city wall. I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it anymore!"

"What are you afraid of?" Ling Xuan frowned, "Everyone, take down the city wall now!"

Throwing the stone in his hand, the team climbed down the rope directly, with the bow and arrow on the back and the other side also climbed down the rope. Ling Xuan looked at the battlefield and turned his head decisively, "Withdraw!"

After getting down the city wall, Ling Xuan led the army back. After the sound of explosions came from behind, the city wall still collapsed, but luckily no one was injured or injured.

Yin Tianming turned back and crossed the collapsed city wall to find Ling Xuan, "General Dong's team is here."

Ling Xuan suddenly realized, "So I said how we blocked them at this point. It turned out that the fire started at the rear. Now I feel relieved."

"Okay, let's go back to sleep." Ling Xuan clapped his hands, "Pay attention to guarding this place and chop if anyone comes over. The deserters should run to us later."

Speaking of which, the number of the army seems to be a bit small. Ling Xuan hadn't figured it out yet, so he saw not only the army, but also people in ordinary clothes and yamen coming over carrying the interception belt full of iron spikes, and then skillfully began to dig traps and arrange them. What a isolation zone, Ling Xuan looked at it in a daze.

"Materials are limited, so this is the only way to do it." Yin Tianming said from the side, "It's just that some local methods will be effective."

"It looks very powerful." Ling Xuan touched his chin, "Then I feel more at ease."

"It's dawn." Yin Tianming looked at the sky and said suddenly, Ling Xuan was slightly taken aback and found the gradually brightening sky.

"I haven't slept yet." Ling Xuan burst into tears, "I don't care about these crap anymore."

Yin Tianming patted Ling Xuan's head sympathetically, "Do you still want to practice?"

"Practice and go back to sleep." Ling Xuan slapped Yin Tianming's hand away and went straight to the palace.

One one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one

So when Dong Yongyong and General Dingping wiped out the last rebel army, Ling Xuan was still sleeping on the dragon bed, and by the way, it was still a luxurious double-floor bed.

"He just fell asleep not long ago." Yin Tianming stood at the door and said something, making it clear that he had no intention of getting out of the way.

Dong Yongyong and Dong Yongjing looked at each other face to face, "How can you talk to General Ping?"

"Let's be honest, it's not that General Ping Ding doesn't know the character of the prince." Dong Yongjing said casually.

"Then let's go first. Remember to tell him to come to us when he wakes up."

Yin Tianming nodded and watched the two leave. Although it is not that he has never slept on the dragon bed, it is still a very happy thing to occupy the whole bed by himself for the first time. It took five or six hours for Ling Xuan to sleep. It's all over before I get up.

After yawning and changing clothes, I went out with Yin Tianming to see General Ping Ding and the others.

"My lord, you have worked hard." General Ping Ding stood up and bowed, "I heard that my lord stayed up for several days to guard the city until we came over. It really makes the old minister panic."

Who is the prince you mentioned, he is so dedicated, I want to get to know him, Ling Xuan raised a smile, "You are welcome, general, I did not work too hard, but the generals have had a hard journey, and I will leave it to you all The general has dealt with it, and this king is going back to the dynasty."

"Naturally, please leave it to us, my lord." General Ping Ding said with a smile.

Just waiting for these words, Ling Xuan cheered up, "You can rest assured that I will leave it to the general."

After a few words of politeness, Ling Xuan left the main hall, Dong Yongyong and Dong Yongjing walked for a while in silence, seeing Dong Yongjing leave the main hall, he couldn't hold back for a while, "Damn, how did you do it!"

"People like you won't understand my great wisdom." Ling Xuan shook his fingers and said disdainfully, "Even if you tell me, you probably won't understand it. Don't think about it."

"Don't look down on me, I have been on the battlefield for so long!" Dong Yongjing said not to be outdone

"Then let me just say it casually." Ling Xuan coughed a few times, "Probably came here to slaughter Chu Tian and deal with a national teacher to take over here, it's very simple."

"I understand the truth, but how did you do it." Dong Yongjing frowned, "How could Chutian let you seize the opportunity?"

"Because he's an idiot, even if I don't do anything, he will die in civil strife." I think if I didn't come, it would be the confrontation between the rebel army in Liuzhou and the government.

It turned out that he wanted to deal with the people on both sides, Ling Xuan rubbed his neck, "Whatever, we won anyway."

"It makes sense." Dong Yongjing nodded, "Anyway, it's up to him if he wins!"

Dong Yongyong glanced at Dong Yongjing and slapped him on the head without hesitation, "Don't make trouble, go aside."

Ling Xuan mocked unkindly, "Just like you, you are an enemy, so don't think about it."

Dong Yongjing covered his head and mumbled to the side, Dong Yongyong looked over, "I've encountered a lot of things recently, if you don't mind, let's talk about it."

Ling Xuan looked at Yin Tianming who was silent at the side, "Then let's bring this guy along and talk about it."

Dong Yongyuan looked at Yin Tianming, he had no opinion, "It's up to you."
