lethal arsenal

Chapter 214
Lin Dong visited Peng Yulin at night, but did not get the answer he wanted.

After Lin Dong asked whether Tujiang Dragon King might be local official Li Xiucheng, Peng Yulin gave the latest military report.

The god of war Shi Dakai and the local official Li Xiucheng worked together to completely defeat Xiangrong's old tribe and Chun, Zhang Guoliang, two old green camp generals in Danyang Mansion. This happened just two days ago.

He Chun and Zhang Guoliang were both members of Xiangrong. Xiangrong died two years ago while guarding the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps.

However, the formation of the troops under his command has not been dispersed, and is commanded by Zhang Guoliang. Zhang Guoliang only has the rank of admiral and commander-in-chief. In terms of status, he is about the same size as Ma Xinyi today. Although his position is not high, he is actually a powerful general with great reputation.

He was defeated by Shi Dakai twice, but survived.

It is a pity that in this battle of Danyang, he died in the river. The local official Li Xiucheng contributed a lot.

Danyang is not far from Suzhou and Jiangning Mansion. In terms of location, it is east of the two places. The failure of this battle will create a situation where Shi Dakai's troops can intimidate Peng Yulin and interrupt the Snow Commander's attempt to cut off the water area. idea.

The court can suppress the Linhuai army and make it difficult for Yuan Sanjia to move... Of course, for Lin Dong, the most important point is that since the local official Li Xiucheng was still at Danyang Mansion two days ago, there is no reason to show up. In the underwater dragon palace.

Lu Ping's speculation does not hold true!

But since this speculation is wrong, then what is the reason for the time conflict?
In this regard, Peng Yulin gave an explanation that this was probably the effect of the spell.

The earth and water created by Taiping Yaoshu Earth Official Scroll are completely opened up in another space.

Since the spaces are different, time passes differently, which is normal.

The two discussed for most of the night and slightly revised their plan. If they wanted Tu Jiang Dragon King to take the bait, they would have to cause chaos in Jiangning Mansion.

"Lin Yuanjue, Lin Yuanjue, I have spent a lot of money this time. If..."

"If you can't kill Tu Jianglong, Commander Xue will come to see you because of your humble position."

Lin Dong patted his chest and gave assurance.

In fact, Peng Yulin and Zeng Guofan are completely different.

Zeng Guofan valued generals, while Peng Yulin focused on lower-level generals and emphasized military discipline. This is also true. He did not have a powerful general at hand that the world could name.

The sacrifices were made by other generals of the Hunan Army, and this was one of the reasons why Peng Yulin was able to agree to Lin Dong's plan.

He is extremely strict with his subordinates, upright and unkind. These are all external evaluations of Peng Yulin.

The ear that had been chopped off by Xu Gou Yang Kaifeng, Liu Shuoquan, was Peng Yulin's.

Just because the sentry officer was not on duty, he was punished by Peng Yulin for cutting off one of his ears. There may be a hidden secret in it, but to some extent it also reflects Peng Yulin's severity. You must know that in the Green Camp military law, the first punishment It was beheading, and the second punishment was ear cutting.

Of course, among the lower-level generals, Peng Yulin was still loved by the lower-level officials because of his military expenditure.

Let’s not talk too much.

After dawn, just when Lin Dong was about to take action, a sudden letter interrupted his plan.

At the same time, this day is also the third day of the hunting competition agreed with the Dragon King.

The sky is clear and blue, and the clouds are not stained.

A figure wearing a bamboo hat entered the city after being questioned repeatedly by the soldiers.

This period was not peaceful. In just three or two days, Jiangning Mansion's navy generals suffered heavy casualties.

Among them, Xu Biao, the king of Zhanshan, was seriously injured, and Liu Jinji, the potential general, was disabled.

The ace general of the Hunan Army, Li Xuyi, died, and the body of Zhang Yao, the leader of the five major bodyguards known as the sun and the moon, was not found.

Also sacrificed were Zuo Changde, Dai Erlu and so on.

Well, that’s right, strictly speaking, most of them are inseparable from someone.

The man in a bamboo hat hung two thin knives on his waist, clearly revealing his identity as a Jianghu man.

He sat down at a breakfast stall. Due to martial law, there are not many such stalls in the city now, and many inns are closed.

"Boss, bring me a bowl of soy milk."

The bucket hat guest opened his mouth as soon as he sat down.

The sweet smell rose from the mouth of the bowl and penetrated into the nose. The man in the hat took a deep breath. The fatigue of the past few days seemed to have been relieved a lot. He picked up the bowl and drank it slowly. The hot juice brought a little refreshment. comfort.

The man in a bamboo hat looked at the sun that was completely exposed on the horizon, watching the sun gradually change from dark red to light red, dyeing the clouds into rose color... He breathed a sigh of relief slowly, this is already Jiangning Mansion, after passing Jiangning, The road ahead must be smooth sailing.

"Please give me a bowl of soy milk too."

A calm voice interrupted the man's reverie.

When the man in the hat looked up, he saw a strange man in front of him. He was tall, thin, murderous, and his cheeks were like knives.

"Why, don't you know me?"

The man's voice was vaguely familiar.

The man in the hat suddenly said, "General."

"Long time no see, Wang Fu."

Lin Dong, who was pretending to be a dog, smiled and sat down.

The man opposite him was none other than the dual swordsman who first broke into the shogunate's palace with Lin Dong and captured Suzhou City.

Well, he broke his arm, so he shouldn't be able to call it a double sword anymore...

babble?
Lin Dong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Wang Fu's cuffs were bulging. Wasn't his right arm broken?
This is how the same thing?

Lin Dong was a little curious, and felt that the boy in front of him was somewhat unpredictable to him.

"The general has worked so hard for me to find you."

"Really? I think you look pretty good."

Lin Dong joked.

Wang Fu and Lin Dong complained for a few words before talking about the main topic.

"By the way, where is my elder brother?"

Lin Dong took a sip of soy milk and asked.

The bean juice in this era is not too sweet, but it has no sour taste and is steaming in the mouth, which is not bad.

"General Ma, please ask me to bring you a message."

Wang Fu had already prepared to talk, and then took out a letter from his arms.

Lin Dong took it and opened it to see that it was undoubtedly Ma Xinyi's handwriting. He scanned the words on it line by line.The other hand brought the soy milk to his mouth and put it down.

Wang Fu didn't say a word, sitting quietly, eating breakfast in small bites.

Lin Dong's eyebrows gradually tightened, and there was still some surprise in his eyes. It took him a long time to wake up from the shock brought by the text. The letter only said one thing.

Ma Xinyi also had an adventure!
Worthy of being the protagonist of a legendary painting.

In the battle of Bailongguan, Wang Fu found Ma Xinyi.

The two originally planned to meet Lin Dong at Xuan Mansion.

However, Lin Dong didn't enter the city at all. According to common sense, if he didn't meet him in Xuan Mansion, he should have met him in Jiangning Mansion, but something happened to Lao Ma too.

During the chaos in Xuancheng, Ma Xinyi rescued a businessman in Xuancheng and later changed his way to the waterway. Unlike Lin Dong who beat him to death, Ma Xinyi was regarded as his destiny.

The wealthy businessman he saved actually wants to call Lao Ma as his son-in-law?

Lao Ma traveled with the businessman, and now he has passed Jiangning Mansion and headed straight for the capital.

He said he was going to attend something - the Steam Gear Conference!
As for this wealthy businessman, that's another story.

Lin Dong vaguely felt that part of his opportunity had been taken away by Lao Ma. The reason why Wang Fu arrived just now was because, firstly, he had to switch from mountain road to water road and then to mountain road, which would delay things.

The second is because...

"Let me see your magical technology!"

Lin Dong spoke suddenly.

When Wang Fu heard this, he lifted up the sleeve of his right hand. It was a pure black mechanical creation, and the material could not be seen.

But at a glance, you can see the gears, pistons, levers with uneven oil coating, as well as a strong trace of gunpowder rust and a 9 mm black hole in the palm of your hand.

Lin Dong grabbed Wang Fu's robotic arm and asked, "Can bullets be sprayed in here?"

Wang Fu shrugged his shoulders and said softly: "If you pour in gunpowder, it will be fine."

Lin Dong sat stiffly for a long time, speechless. This world was too bizarre.

He silently took up the soy milk and drank it all in one gulp, and said to himself: "It seems that the businessman Lao Ma met has a very unusual identity."

"Indeed, Mr. Wu is a great collector who has participated in the World Expo of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets."

Wang Fu didn't even notice that when he mentioned Mr. Wu's name, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes that was so rich that it couldn't be dissipated.

Lin Dong raised his eyebrows.

"No wonder, if he didn't go to see the White Lotus Saint first, it turned out that he had already found another family?"

Rolling his eyes, Lin Dong said softly: "What do you call that businessman?"

"Collector, this arm of mine was given by him, the latest technology."

Wang Fu spoke naturally.

"No, I said the previous sentence."

Lin Dong coughed deliberately to remind him.

"Mr. Wu."

Wang Fu also finished drinking the soy milk and looked up with a blank look on his face.

……

boom!
A dazzling firelight bloomed in a corner of the sky.

Hundreds of shops in the south of the city were exploded by gunpowder and burst into flames.

The same is true for the slums in the east of the city.

Flames spread wantonly in the haphazardly built houses, and the roar of artillery fire was loud. The gunpowder munitions warehouse of Jiangning Mansion exploded in the morning when the sun came out. Whether it was an accident or not remains to be checked.

But the whole city was undoubtedly in chaos, and violent flames engulfed everything.

"I still have a lot I want to know, but... everyone has their own destiny. It is your blessing to find Mr. Wu, so if you want to leave, I can make a promise for the saint. I won’t stop you.”

"Similarly, if you are still willing to continue to serve the White Lotus Sect and the Saint, then go to Chunfeng Tower and wait for me. I have been a little busy these two days. Once the things are done, I will explain it to you in detail..."

Lin Dong gave Wang Fu a hint.

The moment the fire burst into flames, Lin Dong's eyes shone fiercely.

Without thinking, he headed towards Peng Yulin's house.

A good show is about to start.

……

The half of the arm holding the knife flew and swirled in the air, blood drops were thrown into the air, and with a snap, both the hand and the knife fell down.

"Protect! Commander, kill that bastard."

Under Peng Yulin's command, a certain general whom Lin Dong could not name shouted loudly.

Behind him, there were a group of sword-wielding and armored warriors, each of whom had black cloth strips tied to their arms. The reason was simple. Too many generals had died in the past few days, and everyone was mourning.

At this moment, Jiangning Mansion was completely turned upside down.

Now, what Lin Dong had to do was to spread the news that "Peng Yulin" was seriously injured and unconscious, so that everyone in the streets would know about it. Only in this way could he possibly deceive Dragon King Tu Jiang.

Plum Garden, Xueshuai Mansion.

"Bring me my big spear, cough cough."

Peng Yulin, who was seriously injured, wrapped his mouth with silk and accidentally spat out a mouthful of scarlet phlegm.

The surrounding soldiers carried out a series of dark weapons.

"Protect the handsome."

This kind of noise came from one end of the alley into the plum garden.

Peng Yulin heard the roar of explosives in the distance, his face was gloomy, his cold eyes looked into the distance, and he seemed to be saying: "The world says that nine times out of ten you lose in a bet, but, Old Dragon King, I will definitely win this one!" "
