The night was silent.
But the murderous intent has spread like the moonlight tonight, and climbed up everyone's back.
Xie Zishe's voice was astringent: "Dian Kingdom...there are more than 300,000 people."
If it was as Lin Shu thought, if Bei Xia attacked by manipulating corpses... Then the number of enemies was very objective, and even the combat power was very, very terrifying.
And Beixia created an army of 200,000 people without having to go to great lengths to transport the army, and even... just need a bottle of blood poison!
As for why the Dian Kingdom agreed to such a self-destructing strategy, it was probably due to the agreement between the Northern Xia and the Dian Kingdom's royal family—for example, how much land was allocated to them after conquering the Southern Xia.
Mortals have endless greed, as long as there are enough benefits, they will take a risk and decide to cooperate with Beixia, although this is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger.
Shangling Jane said: "The Academy of Arts has developed a defense medicine for this blood poison a year ago, and has produced quite a few."
Xie Zishe suddenly looked at him and asked a series of questions: "How many people can it be used for? How can it be used? If it has been poisoned, can it be cured?"
Shang Lingjian's eyes were heavy and he shook his head: "It can only be used for prevention beforehand. Once poisoned, it can't be cured easily. The quantity of medicine is enough... but it is only effective for cultivators. The medicine that can be used by mortals is still under development."
Xie Zishe's eyes sank: "If this poison comes into contact with mortals, how long will it take to take effect?"
Shangling Jane said, "Six hours."
Xie Zishe immediately sent an order: "Please Zhao Shangshu, Xin Pushe."
Shangling Jane said, "I'm going to the Academy."
Xie Zishe nodded.
Lin Shu leaned against the tower alone, and had nothing to do, so he silently recited the sword score.
Ling Fengxiao has given Xie Zishe great power, and the great national teacher also trusts Xie Zishe very much. It can be seen that the elder sister really has her own advantages.
But seeing her order quickly passed down one by one, after learning about the blood poison, not only must the troops be withdrawn, but the people must also be evacuated—the people in these eight cities must not be reduced to corpses controlled by Beixia!
The Secretary of the Ministry of War said: "In two days, the enemy army will come, and while we are defending Jinguan City, we can mobilize the northern guards, or wait until the reinforcements arrive, and each of the three points in the north has a transcendence fairy. Sir, if you can invite them to come…”
"No!" Xie Zishe frowned: "The defenders in the north must not move!"
Minister of War: "Why did you say this? The situation at hand is urgent..."
"If Beixia sounds east to attack the west, and the defense in the north is weak, why should you be blamed?" Xie Zishe raised his voice slightly: "Not only do you not move, but you have to order the three northern borders to stand guard, and the Beixia army will always attack!"
After that, her voice relaxed a little: "If Beixia has a little foresight, he will not use his army to make corpses, and the northern border should be able to block it."
Another burst of orders, the city gates were opened and closed several times, and Pegasus sent messages in all directions.
Xie Zishe's side is finally over, just waiting for news feedback.
She left the desk and walked towards Lin Shu.
"Are you crossing the robbery?" Xie Zishe asked.
Lin Shu: "Yeah."
"I don't understand the matter of Xianmen. But according to the meaning of the great national teacher, this time the enemy invades, only the immortals have the power to fight." Xie Zishe looked into the distance and said: "Fortunately, the Xianmen of Shuzhou Lin Li, there are four of the nine sects in Shu... With the Shangling Academy, the situation may not be bad."
Lin Shu let out a faint "Hmm".
It is true that the military strength of Shu is not comparable to that of the North, but when it comes to cultivating immortals, it is still the most powerful.
Phoenix Mountain Villa is located in Liangzhou, not too far from Shuzhou.
Shangling Jian went here to communicate information to the Academy and the various schools. There should be hundreds of people who can gather Nascent Soul cultivation, and there may be more than three people who have crossed the robbery.
It may be feasible to block the torrent of corpses.
Afraid of only the great witch.
Xie Zishe looked at him and said, "Do you feel bad?"
Lin Shu: "Maybe."
Xie Zishe's voice was cold, and he said decisively, "Only fight to the death."
She continued: "The enemy army is not a regular army and does not carry heavy weapons. If Xiandao can stop the corpse, Jinguan City has many heavy weapons such as artillery and catapults, so there may be a chance of victory."
After she finished speaking, she frowned.
The night wind blew through her wide robe sleeves, making her look a little thin.
The tower was silent for a while, until there was a sound of very light footsteps.
"Meow."
A spherical black shadow climbed onto Lin Shu's body.
The cat tried to sit on Lin Shu's shoulders, but the move was a little difficult for his size.
The cat tried to take a seat on Lin Shu's head, which was even more challenging.
The cat jumped down and spun around anxiously at Lin Shu's feet: "Meow."
Lin Shu: "…"
Xie Zishe said "Yeah", squatted down, and looked at the cat: "It looks familiar."
The cat walked towards her flatteringly and was held in her arms.
Xie Zishe's expression softened a lot.
A black cat with such a fat body, with its face, can be used to any advantage, and even Xie Zishe can be captured, which really puzzled Lin Shu.
Xie Zishe: "Is it afraid?"
Lin Shu took a closer look and found that it was indeed coaxed into a ball, meowing anxiously, burying its head in Xie Zishe's chest, and trembling imperceptibly.
Xie Zishe scratched its ears and said warmly, "Be good, don't be afraid, many immortals will come."
Lin Shu: "…"
Senior Sister, you know, this is a land fairy.
Even if Quan Nanxia's Tribulation Immortals get together, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything about it.
If the sorcerer...
If the great witch came, and the cat was there, there was no need to worry too much.
I just don't know, to what extent the cat has done for them, can it be regarded as paying off the cause and effect.
Once the karma is repaid, it will immediately soar, and it will no longer be in the human world.
The cat plunged deeper and deeper into Xie Zishe's arms, but it was only natural that Xie Zishe said after a while, "You... so heavy."
The cat gave a soft "meow".
Lin Shu thought, Xie Zishe is not a cultivator, but a literati, a woman, slender, how can he hold this fat cat for a long time.
Xie Zishe made a gesture to put it down.
The cat tried his best to flatter, but couldn't resist.
Lin Shu originally wanted to take it over, but the Tu Longwei named Wei Zhou took a step ahead and said, "Thank you, sir, I'll come."
Xie Zishe gave him the cat.
Wei Zhou was dressed in black, with a straight body and expressionless face. He hugged the cat and looked straight ahead without squinting. He only slightly smoothed the cat's fur with his fingers, showing a strange contrast.
The land fairy continued to tremble in Wei Zhou's arms.
After half an hour, news came from the front.
The enemy's march was much faster than expected, and it turned out that most of it consisted of corpses.
Xie Zishe ordered to give up three of the eight cities, ordered them to defend and delay time, and to evacuate the remaining five cities with all their strength during this time, must make those five cities become empty cities before dawn tonight!
This decision, objectively speaking, is somewhat cruel.
Two hours ago, Xie Zishe still said "Hide your strengths and bide your time", but at this moment, after all, he did not hesitate to "kill ten thousand people to save one hundred thousand people".
The moon and stars are bright, and people are frightened.
Pegasus entered the capital, reported news to the front, and all three cities were destroyed.
After the five cities were evacuated, the enemy army marched unimpeded all the way, and the marching speed continued to accelerate. When the dawn was over, it was probably the moment when the enemy army came.
The moon is sinking in the west, and the sky is breaking.
A person suddenly fell beside Lin Shu: "Brother Lin!"
Lin Shu turned his head to see that it was Cang Min.
Three years have passed, Cang Min has grown a little taller, but his delicate baby face has not changed, and he is smiling silly at him.
"Brother Lin, long time no see!" Cang Min said, "Everyone in the academy says that you are actually the pavilion master of the sword pavilion... I think, brother Lin has always been different from others, but it is very suitable to be the pavilion owner of the sword pavilion."
Lin Shu looked at him, but for a while, he didn't know what to say.
Cang Min didn't care, but said, "The bamboo poles will be here soon! Except for the younger disciples and the disciples who have not cultivated to the Nascent Soul, everyone is here."
Just as he was talking, Yue Ruohe's figure gradually appeared in the air behind him, saying: "You are too indifferent, among the younger disciples, there are disciples who have not cultivated enough to Nascent Soul, and who have not cultivated enough to Nascent Soul. Among my disciples, there are also younger disciples, the two overlap each other, regardless of you and me, they cannot be compared."
"Bum," Cang Min said, "Then according to your crooked reasoning, what should you say?"
Yue Ruohe was speechless for a while.
The next moment, Yue Ruoyun appeared next to the two of them in the same way, and said with a smile: "It should be said, 'Students who are young and have not cultivated to Nascent Soul, and those who are older but have not reached Nascent Soul are the same as those who have reached Nascent Soul but have not yet reached Nascent Soul. Younger disciples'!"
Cang Min said, "After you finish saying those words, Bei Xia should call."
While they were talking, more disciples from the Academy came one after another and spread out on the city wall. Among them were many familiar faces of Lin Shu.
After a while, a flying boat came, and a piece of green spread out on the city wall, it was the disciples of Rumengtang.
Shangling Jane bowed to Hall Master Yue: "Thank you, brother Gao Yi."
Hall Master Yue said: "It should be like this, the national teacher does not need to thank you."
Many people came from the Nanhai Sword Sect, Huanhai Building, and Jingtao Villa one after another.
When the sun was showing a corner in the east, Ling Baochen patted Lin Shu on the shoulder: "Little Xianjun, you have grown taller!"
The girls Baoqing and Baojing were still laughing together as they did three years ago.
However, their knives were all wiped clean, and in the early morning fog, a cold light flickered.
These girls shouted "Miss" and "Miss" to Ling Fengxiao. Some people always thought they were Ling Fengxiao's maids, but they were not.
They are the direct disciples of the master of the Phoenix Villa, and their status in the villa is second only to the master, the eldest lady, and several uncles. Accordingly, their cultivation is definitely not low.
Ling Baochen said to Lin Shu: "Wait a while, our big village owner will come. The eldest young lady has been raised under the big village owner's knees, but you are going to see your mother-in-law!"
Bao Jing said, "Xiao Lin Shu, have you met the Empress?"
Baochen clapped his hands and smiled, "Everyone in the world has only one mother-in-law, but you have two!"
Lin Shu was at a loss for words, and said silently: "At this time, you should be more serious."
Ling Baoqing said: "We kindly help you to relieve your mood, but you don't appreciate it!"
Cang Min said, "Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for three years, why are you not talking anymore?"
Yue Ruohe said, "Brother Lin does seem to have changed a bit."
Ling Baochen seemed very proud and said, "The young pavilion master of the sword pavilion is of course a little more imposing than your little disciples!"
Lin Shu thought that they didn't know that they had cultivated the ruthless way.
However, at this moment, looking at these former friends surrounded by him, he suddenly thought, ruthlessly, what is it
