On April 24, it was drizzling and white mist filled Xiushui County.
At that time, many people thought that the place where Tie Kuangren could be promoted to the fourth rank would be either in Xishan Mountain or on the border of Shenxiu Jiangxi and adjacent to Mount Tai. The more remote the location, the better.
After all, according to rumors, when the Iron Armor Sect's Hunyuan Iron Armor Skill reaches the fourth level, one must bury oneself in the rocks for three days and three nights.
No one thought that the place chosen by Tie Kuangren for promotion would be located 270 miles south of Xishan Mountain, in a small flat village at the junction of Xiushui County and Huizhu County.
Songfeng Jianlinshi only found out about Tie Kuangren's choice an hour before the incident, and he was extremely surprised.
When he brought his troops from Xiushui Hall to the village called Mijiazhuang early the next morning, he immediately looked around.
Here is an endless plain, and outside this originally ordinary village, a solid stone castle with a magic circle has been erected.
The walls of the stone castle are as thick as four feet. They are all made of basalt black rock and then poured with iron. Within the stone castle, there are twenty arrow towers about twelve feet high. Arrays are arranged in the towers, which doubles the power and range of the archers in the towers.
At this time, nearly 3,200 elite members of the Iron Banner Gang had entered. The Tie brothers also hid another 400 soldiers here, making the entire stone fort impregnable.
After seeing it, Lin Shi couldn't believe it for a moment: "The flag master actually chose to be promoted here? Does this place also have the conditions for promotion in the Hunyuan Iron Armor Skill?"
"Why not? It should be said that this place is one of the twenty-seven most qualified locations in Xiushui County."
Tie Xiaosheng was wearing the battle armor 'Iron Buddha' and burst into laughter: "The world only knows that in order to advance to the twelfth level of the Hunyuan Iron Armor Skill, one has to bury oneself in the rocks, but they don't know that there is another necessary condition, which is that it must contain a large amount of gold and iron. The rocks of the spirit.”
Lin Shi had some guesses about this. After all, they were the Iron Armor Sect masters of both the Metal and Earth Elements——
Tie Xiaosheng pointed at his feet again at this time: "Below us is a mountain, which is the remnant of Xishan Mountain. The quality of the stone layers below is exactly the same as that of Xishan Mountain, but it is buried in the soil without emerging.
Hundreds of thousands of years from now, when the mountains and rivers change, a giant mountain might emerge here. But the key is that there is a large black iron mine that has never been discovered by anyone, and it is also accompanied by thousands of stones of heavenly fine gold! This is just right for a madman. This mine has not yet been mined, and the earth energy and gold energy are very rich and pure. "
Tie Xiaosheng's childlike expression showed bright colors: "In the past, we accidentally learned about this and chose to develop the Tieqi Gang in Xiushui County. Now it's finally time to use it."
"Big black iron mine?"
Songfeng Jianlinshi was slightly surprised and looked down: "Is there a lot of black iron ore here?"
"There are more than you can imagine. They are nine miles around. The deepest point is only seven feet above the ground. I don't know how deep this vein is, but it should be very thick and the ore is of high quality."
Tie Xiaosheng smiled, and then pointed to the surrounding area: "The land deeds for a large area of land here are all in the hands of our Tieqi Gang. If we were not worried about affecting the atmosphere of this place, in fact, the small strip of land would allow Xiao Chu to The canal has been dug up to here. But it won’t be too late to wait until the madman is promoted to the fourth level before continuing to expand this small canal.”
Waves arose in the hearts of Songfeng Jianlin and Shi.
If it were just a large black iron mine, it would only be worth a little money.
After all, there is no shortage of black iron ore in Dongzhou, but the place is remote and has inconvenient transportation.
But if this canal can be connected here, it will be a big business that can earn hundreds of thousands of taels a month.
"So when I first heard Xiao Chu talk about digging a canal, I was really surprised."
Tie Xiaosheng's expression changed: "Speaking of Xiao Chu, how is the situation at Xishan Hall?"
"great!"
A strange color flashed in Songfeng Jianlinshi's eyes: "At noon yesterday, Xishantang had wiped out all the remnants of Jiudaowu and Baiyun Village, and then sent his troops south. Today he has garrisoned between Xishan Town and Xiushui City , set up a temporary camp, and then ordered his magicians to use white mist to cover the surrounding area of Xiushui County."
"Baiwu?" Tie Xiaosheng raised his eyebrows: "Again, what's the reaction inside Xiushui City?"
"What other reaction could there be? The county captain Shen Zhou was summoning magicians to disperse them. Unfortunately, the time coincided with the plum rain season. Although they blew up strong winds over the county city, one wave of fog dispersed and another wave of fog came again. But the fog is relatively thin now.”
Songfeng Jian Linshi laughed: "So at this time, the Shen family, Shangguan family and Long family did not dare to act rashly. A while ago, Shen Zhou summoned his younger brother Shen Xiu, and Shangguan Shenhao also summoned his two brothers. The younger brother of the Supreme Xuan Sect?
However, whether it was the Shen family or the Shangguan family, they had to gather their clansmen, family soldiers and many masters in the city's mansion, unable to move. The Long family even had to join forces with the Shangguan family. This was called a fresh meal, and even Shen Zhou and Shangguan Shenhao were worried that the mysterious master in the fog would kill their family. "
Tie Xiaosheng couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Chu never disappoints."
At this time, Songfeng Jianlinshi looked towards the center of the stone castle again: "Where is the flag master? He has gone deep into the rocks?"
"He entered the stone at noon yesterday, and he is now——"
When Tie Xiaosheng said this, his expression suddenly changed slightly and he looked into the distance.
About fifty-five miles away, seventeen lines of black smoke suddenly rose.
That was one of the outposts set up by Tie Xiaosheng in all directions to guard the surrounding areas.
According to the rules of beacon signaling in the Daning Army, yellow smoke is counted as a hundred, and black smoke is counted as a thousand.
This means that at least 17,000 soldiers and horses are coming here.
Tie Xiaosheng's face turned extremely ugly for a moment.
Beforehand, he had ordered reliable personnel to search all directions and made sure that there were no large groups of troops within a hundred and fifty miles.
Moreover, the brothers had kept the location of Tie Kuangren's promotion a secret until an hour before the incident, when they informed the core members of the gang.
Originally, the brothers expected that this would buy Iron Maniac a day and a half.
As long as a day and a half passes, Iron Maniac can regain a certain amount of combat power.
But now, only more than seven hours have passed since Iron Madman buried himself——
At this time, the entire stone castle was boiling with excitement, and the Three Thousand Iron Banners gang members all seemed to be wound up and took action one after another.
"Alert! Enemy situation!"
"Seventeen black smoke, this is an army of 17,000 people. Could it be that the outpost sent the wrong smoke? Where did Xiushui County get so many soldiers and horses?"
"Standing at the east post is Wang Tan, the leader of Xuanfengtang. This person is the most reliable."
"All archers prepare their arrow towers, bed crossbows and scorpion crossbows! Where are the arrows? Are they all ready?"
"Come here, a magician, and check the talisman array here again!"
Tie Xiaosheng put away his distracting thoughts for the time being. He strode down the city wall and personally arranged the defense of each section of the wall.
Fortunately, at the beginning of this year, Chu Xisheng emerged in Xishan and supported more than 10,000 troops, which relieved the Iron Banner Gang from great pressure.
This caused them to mobilize far more troops into Mijiazhuang Stone Fort than they originally expected.
Iron Maniac's preparations are also very thorough. There are sixty repeating scorpion crossbows and one hundred eight-arm bed crossbows in the stone castle. Together with the defensive formations in the castle, they are enough to suppress two to three fifth-level masters.
Just half a moment later, Tie Xiaosheng saw a huge cloud of smoke and dust rising in the east.
At this time, the leader of the ancient city hall, Tie Niu Jia Dali, responded to the order and rushed to Tie Xiaosheng from the south side of the stone castle. He was slightly confused and anxious: "Uncle, do you have anything to ask me?"
What Jia Dali didn't understand was why Tie Xiaosheng called him over at this juncture.
He is in charge of the southern side of the fort wall where he is sitting, and there are still many things that have not been arranged properly.
Tie Xiaosheng did not answer. He nodded slightly and continued to look at the east side of the stone castle.
At this moment, a group of knights galloped to the front of the castle gate.
Those were the troops who had been withdrawn from the beacon tower in the east, and the knight leading them was none other than Wang Tan, the altar leader of Xuan Feng Hall.
After entering the fort gate, this person hurriedly climbed up the wall.
He looked solemn and half-knelt behind Tie Xiaosheng: "Deputy Flag Master, the enemy has a total of 17,000 people, including 4,000 cavalry and 13,000 infantry. All of them have ninth-level cultivation, and Half of them were wearing iron armor.”
"Cavalry?"
Tie Xiaosheng's eyes narrowed. Where did such a large group of cavalry come from on the ground near Xiushui County?
And the armor coverage rate of iron armor is so high, as high as 50%!
Even the Tianping Army stationed in the north can only lag behind in terms of equipment.
"Do you know where the soldiers and horses came from?"
This was also what puzzled him the most. All the troops and horses in Dongzhou were calculated by the two brothers, and special personnel were arranged to monitor their movements in advance.
Wang Tan spoke in a heavy voice and answered without hesitation: "Seven thousand of them are the standard soldiers under the eunuchs of Dongzhou. The remaining ten thousand are probably from Linhai. It seems that they are salt from Nanwu and other counties." Man."
Tie Xiaosheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he chuckled: "It turns out to be the prefect."
The internal eunuchs were established during the reign of the late emperor.
At the beginning of His Majesty's succession to the throne, Daning's household department had a deficit of tens of millions of magic silver, and the court could not make ends meet both inside and outside the court.
So the late emperor established internal eunuchs in the thirty-six states of the world to take charge of the collection of commercial taxes, salt taxes and mineral taxes in the world.
In order to prevent the eunuchs from being taken advantage of by the local government, His Majesty even authorized the eunuchs from various states to prepare an internal army of 5,000 to 15,000 people for the purpose of imposing taxes.
Dongzhou is the origin of sea salt. In order to crack down on illicit salt, the coastal counties provided a large number of salt cubes and were under the dual jurisdiction of the eunuchs of the inner government and the salt patrol censor.
Those salt men have been fighting against private salt dealers all year round, and their elite level is no less than that of the border troops.
According to Tie Xiaosheng's knowledge, the prefect of Xiushui County had a close relationship with the eunuchs in the inner court.
This person has been entrenched in Dongzhou for several years and completely ignored Zuotianlu, the county magistrate who was born in Qingliu. It is precisely because of the prestige and power in the palace.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Tie Xiaosheng nodded with satisfaction: "Go to the southern fort wall as soon as possible and take over all the defense matters there."
When he said this, Wang Tan couldn't help but feel surprised, and Jia Dali, a man next to him who was getting impatient, was also slightly stunned.
Jia Dali seemed to realize something, his face suddenly turned livid, and his eyes were shocked and angry.
After Wang Tan left, Jia Dali clenched his fists with both hands, and finally said through his teeth: "Do you think that I colluded with outsiders and betrayed my uncle? That's why you have to guard against me?"
Songfeng Jianlinshi was also shocked: "How is this possible? Deputy Flag Master, have you misunderstood something?"
"There will be no misunderstanding."
Tie Xiaosheng put his hands behind his back and looked at Jia Dali with a cold face: "The madman and I also paid attention to the people under the eunuch of the inner palace, just one day ago. I also received a report from the Internal Affairs Hall that the Biao Army Camp under the eunuch of the inner palace, At that time, I was still staying in Jiangnan County.
There is also a place where madmen can be promoted. We didn’t reveal it to the four of you until yesterday morning. In addition to Lu Jiuli, the master of Xunyang Hall who is commanding our Iron Banner Navy and guarding against the Seventeenth Chain Dock upstream, there are only Xiao Chu, Lin Shi and you! Dali, you know what this means? "
Jia Dali frowned.
Of course he knew what Tie Xiaosheng meant.
Theoretically speaking, it is impossible for the Biao Army Camp under the eunuchs of the inner government to rush to Xiushui County silently in one day, and even three days is very difficult.
There must be something wrong with the spies used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to monitor the movements of the inner government camp. Either dereliction of duty or betrayal.
In addition, there is also a possibility that there is a mole among the four of them.
Otherwise, no matter how well-informed the eunuch's troops were, they would not have arrived at Mijiazhuang in just eight hours.
As Tie Xiaosheng's words fell, the atmosphere on the fort wall instantly became cold.
The surrounding gang members all looked at Jia Dali with surprised and uncertain expressions.
Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, but they all pressed their hands on their weapons in unison.
"Maybe something went wrong somewhere else."
Song Fengjian Linshi still didn't believe it, he formed a Sichuan character between his brows: "The master of Xunyang Hall, Lu Jiuli, is our old brother. We were both born in the Chongzhou Navy Camp. He will never betray the banner master!
Jia Dali is your nephew, whom you have watched since childhood. This guy has an upright temperament and a simple mind. He has always been single-minded. How could he do such a thing? Besides, what good would it do to him? Generally speaking, the person who benefits the most is the most suspicious. "
He didn't mention Chu Xisheng's name, but every sentence pointed to Chu Xisheng.
Tie Xiaosheng still had a serious face: "Xiao Chu is indeed the young banner leader of our gang, but I know that his thoughts have never been in the Iron Banner Gang. The foundation that is indispensable in our eyes is, for him, A burden.
What's more, someone recently told me that in the past month, you have often been in contact with some outsiders of unknown origin, and more than ten days ago, you spent a huge amount of 190,000 taels of magic silver at two auctions in the ancient market. But where are you? So much money? What's the origin?
There is also the girl Ziyun next to you, whose identity is also very suspicious. She is probably a charming girl from the Demonic Sect's "Illusion Spirit Sect" who specializes in spiritual illusions. Jia Dali, do you dare to say that there is no problem in this? What are the origins of the people you come into contact with, and where did the 190,000 taels of magic silver come from? "
"Zi Yun?"
Jia Dali opened his eyes wide, as if in disbelief.
Then he fell silent, silent.
He couldn't answer Tie Xiaosheng's question——
Tie Xiaosheng's face became even more dejected, with unspeakable sadness and disappointment in his eyes: "Before the enemy comes, you can declare yourself a cultivator, and don't force me to do anything to you. If you think I have wronged you, Dali, wait until now After the war, I will find a way to find out what happened. If it is me, the uncle who is the master, who is at fault, I will personally blame myself in front of the whole gang and apologize to you with fifty lashes!"
Jia Dali still didn't answer.
His face was gloomy and he kept silent, but there was a trace of blood mist all over his body.
Just when Tie Xiaosheng was secretly on guard, Jia Dali turned into a ball of blood and flashed towards Songfeng Jianlinshi.
Lin Shi was caught off guard and didn't react until Jia Dali was five feet in front of him.
His long sword danced like a pine tree in the wind, but was smashed to pieces by Jia Dali's figure.
Jia Dali did not put up any defense. He was like a rampaging iron bull, charging forward against Lin Shi's sword.
Although he smashed Lin Shi's sword into pieces, his body was also scarred.
Jia Dali didn't care, the heavy sword in his hand seemed to be pressing down on the top of the mountain, like a tsunami and landslide, and his aura was violent and fierce!
"Evil beast!"
Tie Xiaosheng was also unprepared for Jia Dali's attack on Lin Shi, and the blood of his armor "Iron Buddha" surged. He dodged directly behind Jia Dali and grabbed Jia Dali's shoulder with one hand.
Until this moment, he was still unwilling to hurt his nephew, he just wanted to catch Jia Dali and forcefully subdue him.
But in the next moment, Tie Xiaosheng's movements froze and he looked at Songfeng Jianlinshi in front of him in disbelief.
Lin Shi's sword light suddenly changed from weak to strong at this time, and he struck a blow with Jia Dali.
Jia Dali's figure actually slipped back three feet at this moment, while Lin Shi stepped back three feet.
"Below the fifth rank!"
Jia Dali's mouth was bleeding, his eyes tightened, and he sneered: "Sure enough, it's you! What a master of Lin Hall, what do you want to do by hiding this half-level cultivation?"
Songfeng Jianlinshi's face turned pale and he was speechless.
He found that the eyes of all the Iron Banner Gang members were turning towards him.
Tie Xiaosheng's gaze when he looked at him was as cold as a knife.
"I have never betrayed my uncle or uncle!"
Jia Dali raised his chin slightly, his eyes showing brightly: "I have indeed come into contact with many people this month, but I just don't want Chu Xisheng to be the leader of the young banner. So I want to recruit some people, and I even borrowed money at high interest rates. I borrowed ten Thousands of taels of magic silver, plus his savings over the years, were exchanged for a secret elixir to upgrade to the sixth level and a set of armor for the lower fifth level.
Jia is walking and sitting up straight! Chu Xisheng and his uncle and uncle can stand up to me, so how could I do such a ruthless thing? No matter how unwilling I am, I just want to make some achievements and suppress the prestige of Xishan Hall. He even didn't hesitate to get in touch with those from the magic sect, hoping to learn one or two magic secrets that would cause less trouble. "
He looked at Songfeng Jianlinshi with a look in his eyes: "You are right, the person who benefited the most from the incident is the most suspicious! Ten days ago, Xiao Chu came to see me in private. He asked me to drink and said He will go to Wuxiang Mountain within three months. From now on, he will be a member of the Iron Banner Gang, but he has no intention of becoming the leader of the Iron Banner Gang. Although I am not convinced by him, I know this person's character and he will stick to his word!
It was a coincidence that only four people knew the location of Mijiazhuang beforehand. Uncle Lu, the leader of Xunyang Hall, is a kind-hearted and righteous person. He is already old and wanted to quit the gang years ago. Only because of his uncle's repeated pleas did he stay in the gang and suppress the situation.
2k
Moreover, Uncle Lu's family, including the young and old, were rescued by his uncle, so there would be no benefit for him to betray the Iron Flag Gang. Since it’s not Uncle Lu, and it’s not me and Chu Xisheng, then who else is there? "
Songfeng Jianlinshi frowned and looked troubled: "There may be a misunderstanding!"
"If there is any misunderstanding, you can tell my uncle!"
Jia Dali put the heavy sword on his shoulder and smiled wildly: "Thinking about it today, there is indeed something wrong with that Ziyun. I, Jia Dali, am so stupid. I am possessed by illusions and cannot realize it. I have indeed taken the wrong path. , colluding with the devil is a taboo of my iron-clad sect.
In the past, the Iron Armor Sect declined due to the Demon Sect. I, an unscrupulous disciple, have forgotten the iron rules set by my ancestors. If I think about it more carefully, I'm afraid those people are also related to my formidable enemies of the Iron Flag Gang and want to lead me step by step into the abyss from which I can't turn back. However, Jia’s life is worth it. My uncle didn’t kill me until just now. My nephew is deeply touched! "
When Tie Xiaosheng heard this, he immediately had a bad premonition.
His throat was dry: "Dali, what do you want to do? Come back!"
Jia Dali jumped into the air and jumped off the stone castle. He looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and the black soldiers and horses rolling over, and the corners of his lips rose: "Uncle, I took the wrong path, and I have to pay the price. There is no need for you to pity me, I have already cultivated a The secret method of Sect Demon Dao has violated the rules of the sect. What is even more worrying is that the illusion method of Phantom Sect is unpredictable and can control people's hearts. I am afraid there is no way back.
Today my nephew will fight like this to prove his innocence! I would also like to repay you two uncles for their upbringing! "
The moment he finished speaking, he was already galloping towards the army in front of him like a galloping horse.
At the same time, the Songfeng Sword Linshi also floated outside the stone wall.
His body was as light as a fallen leaf, rippling slightly in the air, but it seemed slow but actually fast, and in an instant he had floated ten feet away from the stone wall.
Tie Xiaosheng's whole body was filled with great vitality, and he blasted towards Lin Shi like a ballista.
He was filled with endless sorrow and hatred, endless heartache, endless incomprehension and endless killing intent, and the heavy sword bombardment was like a mountain bearing down on the top.
Both of them were at the fifth level of cultivation, but Tie Xiaosheng's combat power was already much stronger than Lin Shi's.
At this time, Tie Xiaosheng was even wearing the 'Iron Buddha', and his combat power was almost close to the peak of the fifth rank.
Songfeng Sword Linshi just took one sword, and his orifices started to bleed.
"Why is this?" Tie Xiaosheng's voice was hoarse and his eyes were filled with anger: "What is it about the two of us that can't help you? We, the brothers from the Chongzhou Navy Camp, have built up a foundation here that you, Lin Shi, have also created. One copy, what reason do you have to betray us? Dali has always treated you as his uncle, and he is always disrespectful. Why do you want to harm him like this?"
Lin Shi did not answer. His face was cold and he continued to retreat like a ghost.
Now that my life is almost at risk, what’s the point of answering these questions?
As long as he escaped from the stone castle and fled to the army outside, his life would be safe, and he would be able to use some leisure to help Tie Xiaosheng solve his doubts.
※※※※
At the same time, three miles away, Sikong Chan, the prefect of Xiushui County, was carrying a long and narrow sword case with two colors of gold and red, about five fingers wide, sitting on a huge lizard, looking at a letter in his hand.
This is a giant lizard about twenty feet long and seven feet high, covered with scales and spitting out snake messages. Its body is like a hill, but it moves very quickly and very steadily, and its feet are almost silent. .
Soon after, a contemptuous smile appeared on Sikong Chan's lips, and he put the letter in his hand into his sleeve.
And just a few steps away, a pretty woman asked aloud: "The 'gilt-crowned silver-feathered pigeon' just now seems to be raised in the Governor's Mansion. Is this a letter from the Governor? He What did you say?"
Sikong Chan glanced at the young woman beside him.
This is his wife Han Yuyan, a true disciple of the Nanhai Sword Sect and his good wife.
The young woman was looking at him with wide eyes and a bit of curiosity and worry.
Sikong Chan burst into laughter: "How could it be a letter from the Governor? He is such a cautious person, how could he leave any clues to me? This letter was ghostwritten by someone else and does not have any seal."
Sikong Chan shook his head slightly and said mockingly: "This is imitating the tone of a friend, advising me that since I have privately arranged the troops and horses to do this thing, I must do it properly. The so-called snake will not die if it is beaten, but it will be punished. It's harmful. If there is any big trouble in Xiushui County, the Governor will not let us go lightly.
In other words, the Governor has tacitly allowed me to do it and is willing to provide convenience, but if I fail to do it well and leave any trouble, then I can't blame him for being ruthless. "
Han Yuyan's face suddenly darkened, and the worry and guilt in his eyes became more intense: "It's all because of me and senior brother that you were involved in this."
"What does it have to do with you! Tie Kuangren is a arrogant and ambitious person. If he is successfully promoted to the fourth rank, I, the prefect, will probably die as well, unless I am willing to listen to him."
Sikong Chan smiled casually and said with an indifferent expression: "No need to worry, the outcome of today's matter has been decided. The soldiers and horses under my command have already won if they arrived here at this time! Tie Kuangren's death date is today. .”
"Oh?" Han Yuyan said brightly.
She saw that although Sikong Chan's words were plain, he was calm and composed.
Han Yuyan and Sikong Chan have been married for many years, and they know that this is a gesture that Sikong Chan only has when he is sure of victory.
At this moment, both of their eyes were attracted by the movement in front of them.
It was a burly young man wearing sky-blue armor. He was holding a heavy sword and he broke into the military formation in front of them like a mad cow.
He seemed to have gone crazy and ran rampant among the crowd, causing a bloody storm wherever he passed. In just a short time, more than two hundred people were killed.
But at this time, there were already five sixth-grade masters in the army flying up and galloping in the direction of the young man.
"Is this the Iron Bull Jia Dali? His courage is commendable!"
Sikong Chan looked down at the young man with admiration in his eyes: "After I kill this man later, I can bury him in a dignified manner."
At this moment, with a flick of his hand, a white rainbow suddenly shot out from the sword box behind him, shooting towards Tie Xiaosheng who was chasing Songfeng Jianlinshi in the sky.
The white rainbow seemed like a white horse passing through the gap, like light and electricity.
Tie Xiaosheng had just felt the emotion in his heart when he was already in front of him by Bai Hongling.
"broken!"
Tie Xiaosheng slashed with almost all his strength. With the help of the 'Iron Buddha', the speed of the heavy sword in his hand increased to the extreme.
But at the moment when the heavy sword and Bai Hong were about to clash, the latter suddenly dispersed into thirty-six white sword lights.
Half of them were wiped out by Tie Xiaosheng, and the other half bombarded him in front of Tie Xiaosheng.
Tie Xiaosheng used his own strength to resist the sword energy, but his figure had to slide back dozens of feet. When he stood firm in the air, he saw Jia Dali's figure, completely overwhelmed by the army on the opposite side.
His burly body fell weakly under the iron hooves of the cavalry, his head rolled back, and was then trampled into blood and mud.
When Tie Xiaosheng saw this scene, he felt bored in his chest and spit out blood from his mouth.
At this time, Songfeng Jianlinshi had landed on the back of the giant lizard.
The injuries on his body were extremely heavy, and the blood spit out from his mouth even contained some internal organ fragments.
Lin Shi first took out a jade bottle and drank all the jade-white slurry inside. Then he spoke to the prefect Sikong Chan with a livid face: "This is different from what you said before. You said that Jia Dali's mind has been deceived. , Today’s situation is foolproof!”
Sikong Chan smiled when he heard this: "This is an accident. The Phantom Sect has indeed sent one of their best charm girls, but I didn't expect that Jia Dali's character was quite good, and the time was short, so he couldn't be completely hooked. But with Brother Lin’s experience, you should understand that there are always surprises in everything, and there can be no true foolproofness in this world.”
Lin Shi noticed at this moment, Sikong Chan's slightly sharp, blade-like eyes.
Lin Shi's breath suffocated, and then he remembered that his life and death, honor and disgrace, all depended on the hands of the prefect in front of him.
Especially when he was seriously injured——
He softened his tone and said: "But how should I control the Iron Banner Gang next? As long as there is one alive today, the death of Tie Kuangren will not be blamed on Jia Dali. Tie Kuangren has awarded Chu Xisheng the title of Young Banner Leader. I can't compete with him for the position no matter what, and Chu Xisheng will never let me go."
Originally, he thought that Jia Dali was the best candidate to be charged with killing the flag owner.
But this bastard made him fail.
Even his plan to surprise Tie Xiaosheng and seize the 'Iron Buddha' ended in failure.
"It's done today, why do you need to worry about Chu Xisheng? Of course Tieqi helps you don't have to worry about it." Sikong Chan smiled and handed over a confession document: "But the future I gave you , as long as you can manage it well, you are not much worse than the leader of the Iron Banner Gang."
Lin Shi took the confession document and looked at it carefully, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes: "Commander of the Tianping Army Naval Battalion?"
"The Governor has allowed me to build a naval camp of 5,000 people under the banner of the Tianping Army. In addition, I can also give you the rest of the Haiqing Gang. This power is enough for you to control the ancient city. Gather at the east dock of the city."
Sikong Chan put his hands behind his back and said, "I, Sikong Chan, have kept my word. Since I promised you this future, I will never break my promise. However, have you accomplished the few medicines I asked you to change?"
Songfeng Jian Linshi's face couldn't help but show a bit of joy. He clasped his hands in his fists and said with a respectful expression: "The humble position was changed two months ago. The iron madman didn't take any precautions against me and didn't know it. This time he has absolutely no physical symptoms!"
At this time, he suddenly felt a violent turmoil on the ground. Lin Shi felt something in his heart and turned to look in the direction of the stone castle.
He saw a familiar figure flying into the sky from the center of the stone castle.
——That was the Iron Maniac. He had a hunky back, big ears, and a head of short, thick hair that looked like straight javelins piercing the sky.
Only the short black hair and thick eyebrows have turned gray, as if covered with frost.
Lin Shi looked at this person from a distance with a complicated expression: "He's out!"
Sikong Chan also saw this scene, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "It seems it's done! It's a pity that this heroic leader of the Iron Banner died in the hands of his own people."
Hearing this, Songfeng Jianlinshi looked slightly ashamed.
Han Yuyan, the wife of the prefect, could not stop being ecstatic.
Tie Kuangren broke through early, which means that he has stopped promotion, which also means that Tie Kuangren's death has come!
