The Alchemist God

Three days later, Lanyan City in midsummer was exceptionally quiet. The willow forest outside the city was swaying by the breeze, making rustling noises. There was an endless stream of business travelers outside the city. It is still very prosperous, and a large number of people have moved from the Yunzhong Province and the Seven Seas Province, which has also made this emperor lose its prosperity in the past.

Lin Muyu and Qin Yan were already stopped when they rode their horses into the city in armor. Zhang Wei was stunned when the centurion on duty brought them to Zhang Wei.

My lord...you are finally back.

Zhang Wei jumped up, hugged Lin Muyu directly, and laughed loudly: Old Zhang has been worried that you will be killed by the demons.

Lin Muyu hurriedly pushed him away, and asked: Master Zhang Wei, we have received the feather book we sent back from Cangnan Province.

Well, I've received it a long time ago. Let's go. Let's go to Zetian Hall now. It's time for discussion in the afternoon.

good.

Although the entourage sent by Xiang Yu was full of hostility, but Zhang Wei, as the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, could not resist them, so they had to go to the hall together.

...

Before even changing the blood-stained armor, Lin Muyu walked up to the Zetian Hall. There were not many officials in the Zetian Hall, but they were all important officials with great power. Su Muyun, Tang Lan, Xue Ling, Tang Lu , Tang Tian, ​​Su Yu and others were all there, as well as a large group of civil servants and military generals such as Shang Shuling and Hubu Shangshu.

The chief deacon of the temple, Lin Muyu, has an audience.

The courtiers kept shouting: The young prince Qin Yan will see you, and Mr. Zhang Wei will see you.

On the emperor's throne, Qin Yin was wearing a robe embroidered with golden purple yin flowers. She sat up suddenly, with dark blue tassels hanging from her skirt. She held the handle of the Ziyin sword and looked into the distance. Unable to stop, he stepped down the Wang steps.

Your Highness.

Su Muyun coughed and said, Please maintain your dignity.

Qin Yin stopped and stood there, about a few meters away from Lin Muyu, looked at him with starry eyes full of nostalgia, moved her delicate red lips, and murmured: Brother Ayu, are you okay.

Lin Muyu took a step forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Qin Yin, and said in a low voice: Lin Muyu sees Her Majesty the Empress, Xiao Yin, I'm fine, it's just that the Yangwei Legion has escaped except me and A Yan. The army is destroyed.

Well, get flat soon...

Lin Muyu stood up, and after looking around for a week, she realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Feng Jixing, Wei Chou and others looked at him with anxious eyes, while Tang Lan, Su Muyun, Tang Lu and others looked at him. With a sneer.

Min Yulin died in battle, isn't he, Chief Deacon? Tang Lu asked with a sudden smile.

yes.

Weihou Min Yulin had 50,000 elite soldiers who died in battle in Winter Frost City. Why did the chief deacon retreat back to Lanyan City with his body intact? Is it true that the chief deacon just fled the battle just like Xiang Yu's letter from Yu said? , gave up the dignity of the imperial soldiers, and abandoned Min Yulin and others. Tang Lu's eyes were full of cruelty, and he asked in a low voice: Lin Muyu, as the chief deacon of the temple, have you forgotten the dignity of being an imperial soldier? .

I didn't run away. Lin Muyu looked at him lightly, and said, Xiang Yu is one of yours, so there is no need to pour dirty water on me by singing and singing. If I wanted to escape, I would have already escaped. Why wait until Dongshuang City breaks down? that moment.

Yeah.

A smug look flashed across Tang Lu's eyes, and he said, I knew you would deny it categorically, but fortunately we still have witnesses, come and bring the witnesses to Zetian Palace.

Lin Muyu's eyes were stern, and he looked at Tang Lu calmly, but he didn't know what his so-called witness testimony was. Qin Yan was very angry and gritted his teeth.

Qin Yin was a little displeased, she frowned lightly and said: Lingbeihou, you know that Lin Muyu is my righteous brother, so why make things difficult for him like this.

Tang Lu clasped his fists and said respectfully: Your Highness, the general is not trying to make things difficult, but the fact that it is so. Your Highness just needs to watch, and the truth will soon come to light.

oh.

Qin Yin raised the corner of her mouth and said calmly: Lingbeihou, if you don't have sufficient evidence to say that Lin Muyu fled before the battle, then don't blame me for taking your title.

Tang Lu was taken aback, Tang Lan beside him frowned, and did not speak. As one of the second princes of the empire, Tang Lan held half of the country in his hands, and had begun to hide behind the scenes at some point. Tang Lu and Tang Tian had completed all the intentions.

...

A few minutes later, under the protection of a group of Zetian Temple warriors, a general wearing broken armor walked up to the main hall. When he came in front of Lin Muyu and Qin Yan, Lin Muyu almost gnawed his steel teeth.

Shi Huo.

Lin Muyu.

Shi Huo's face was full of anger, and he said: You didn't expect that I could escape from Lingdong province alive, you cowardly bastard who dare not confront the demons, you still have the face to go back to Lanyan city?

As he said that, Shi Huo suddenly turned around and clasped his fists at Qin Yin, saying: Your Highness, on August 12th, Winter Frost City was attacked by demons, and a hundred thousand armored demons besieged the Yangwei Army. The Lord ordered us to wait for a deadly battle, but I didn't want to Lin Muyu led the people to retreat early and left Winter Frost City, and escaped while we were fighting with the demons, and there were even rumors that he was in collusion with the leader of the demons, please be aware of it, Your Highness.

You're talking nonsense.

Qin Yin's gaze was like a sharp sword: Brother Ah Yu is not that kind of person, come here, drag Shi Huo down and chop him up.

Tang Lu hurriedly said: Your Highness, General Shi Huo has reason and evidence, it's not nonsense, Shi Huo, hurry up and show your evidence.

Shi Huo gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Muyu, took out a broken battle flag from his arms, with the word Min faintly on it, and took off the saber around his waist, wrapped the sword with the battle flag : Your Highness, this was entrusted by Junhou Min Yulin to the last general before he died in battle. In addition, Junhou still has some words for me to pass on to Your Highness.

Say. Qin Yin said lightly.

Shi Huo said: Your Majesty said that Lin Muyu recruited soldiers without authorization. He is very authoritarian in the army and has long been disobedient. Moreover, Lin Muyu has always personally formulated the food system for Yangwei Legion, but he was easily manipulated by the Demon Armored Demon. The food was cut off due to the attack. Someone must have informed. On July 30, Lin Muyu led people out of the city to pull out the poisonous arrows from the demons, and brought the plague into Winterfrost City, killing tens of thousands of imperial troops. On August 9, , Commander Chai Hong digging tunnels was also discovered by the demons. Only a few commanders and Lin Muyu were the only ones who knew about it. Someone must have informed them. The major commanders were all killed in battle, but Lin Muyu was still alive. Everything has been proved that Lin Muyu colluded with the enemy. , has long been in collusion with the leader of the demon clan, Your Highness, you can't tolerate him just because he is a brother-in-law, otherwise

Qin Yan was in a hurry, pointed at Shi Huo, and shouted: You spitting blood, you bastard, you spitting blood.

Qin Yin's eyes fell on Lin Muyu, and she said softly, Brother Ah Yu, tell me what he said is all lies.

Lin Muyu's heart was full of mixed feelings, full of bitterness, but she couldn't express it, she cupped her fists and said, Your Highness, part of what he said is true, but part of him didn't say it.

Well, brother Ah Yu, tell me.

Lin Muyu turned to look at Shi Huo, and said: The day before Winter Frost City was broken, Shi Huo and his subordinates dug up the corpses of imperial soldiers who died in battle and cooked them. The 5,000 men and horses belonging to Qihai City opened the south gate of Winter Frost City without permission, intending to leave, which directly led to the destruction of Winter Frost City.

Shi Huo's body trembled, and he pointed at him: You...you spout blood.

Lin Muyu's eyes turned cold, and he said in a low voice: Shi Huo, Winter Frost City is surrounded on all sides, you know the strength of tens of thousands of armored demons, and I know it too. How is it possible to get out, besides, you hold the sword and battle flag of the monarch, there is only one explanation, you surrendered to the demon clan and promised to be a slave, so they let you go back to Lanyan City, and use you as the internal response to defeat Lanyan City, isn't it?

you.

Shi Huo's face was flushed, and he said angrily: Don't deceive the public with such false talk and frame me.

Behind Shi Huo, Tang Lu also said with a livid face: Lin Muyu, the facts are in front of you, and you are not allowed to quibble. You just fled without fighting. Don't you admit that Shi Huo is the brave general of our Seven Seas City? He has always been a warrior at the forefront of the army, he will not lie, I guarantee it with my life.

Then your life is too worthless.

Lin Muyu looked at Tang Lu with a sneer, and suddenly pulled out the Dragon Spirit Sword from his waist, with a puff, the blade pierced through Shi Huo's back, piercing his heart,

My God.

Everyone was shocked, no one thought that Lin Muyu would suddenly kill Shi Huo.

Lin Muyu.

Tang Lu looked at the fallen Shi Huo, his face was pale: You are crazy...you lunatic...you dare to kill people in Zetian Palace, you still have Her Majesty the Empress in your eyes, you...

Brother Ah Yu, you... Qin Yin looked at him puzzled.

...

Keng.

The Dragon Spirit Sword suddenly pierced into the jade bricks in front of the hall. Lin Muyu looked up at Qin Yin on the king's steps, and murmured: Xiao Yin, the invasion of the demon army is imminent. Once they cross the Daojiang River, they will be able to flatten the river. Destroy the Great Qin Empire, this country will soon cease to exist, I don't want to waste any second arguing with these courtiers here, if Shi Huozhen is so brave, I won't be killed by me, time will tell everything, how to punish me I also admit it, but...we must send troops to reinforce Wugu City and Shenying City as soon as possible, and deploy defenses along the tributary of the Daojiang River, otherwise it will be too late once the demons cross the river.

Feng Jixing murmured: Ah Yu, the demons are really so powerful.

Um.

Lin Muyu nodded slightly, and said: Brother Feng, you must be careful when confronting the demons. They have at least 100,000 armored demon legions, and the combat power of one armored demon can be equivalent to twenty elite soldiers of the empire.

What? Feng Jixing turned pale with shock.
