The snowflake silver that shone alluringly was taken out of the silver box and distributed to each soldier through the hands of the city guard general. The soldiers who received half a year's salary arrears were all happy and even shed tears.
The gloomy atmosphere caused by the Shangguan rebellion, the turmoil in the camp, and the enemy's pressure on the border was suddenly wiped away. The morale of more than 20,000 Guards soldiers suddenly increased greatly, and the hands holding weapons became more steady and strong. Many of them were even gearing up to prepare.
Fight to the death with the Dachu Army.
Such a scene made Xu Jingye and Li Jin sigh with emotion. In addition to the spiritual glory of defending the homeland and opening up territories in war, nothing can inspire the soldiers' courage and fighting spirit more than full military pay.
In addition to half a year's salary, each soldier also received a reward of five taels of silver.
Li Jin was very proud to tell Qin Yun that he almost moved the entire silver cellar of Jiuzhou Commercial Bank here with force and robbery. It happened that the commercial bank had just collected a large amount of cash a few days ago, which happened to solve the problem of Wei Jun.
Urgent need.
In addition to the banknotes issued by the merchants, he also sent people to various merchants to buy supplies, weapons, arrows, armor, oil, etc., and bought everything he could for future use. He even bought fat pigs, cattle and sheep to reward the army lieutenants.
There were hundreds of them.
However, the talisman paper cinnabar used to refine the talismans is rather special. Only a few trading houses have it in stock. It takes time to search slowly, and there is currently none that can be brought back to the military camp.
"Tomorrow, at noon tomorrow at the latest, I will send someone to deliver the things to Shuifu!" Li Jin said, patting his chest.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, then I'll go back to the Shui family's old house first. I'll leave this place to you!"
Li Jin quickly persuaded him to stay: "Let's have dinner first before leaving. We can't miss you at the Weiying banquet tonight!"
When the war came, it was customary for the army to hold a battle banquet to boost morale. If the Guards did not have the millions of silver taels supported by Qin Yun, they would not even have the money to host the battle banquet. Therefore, Qin Yun, a great hero, was allowed to attend the banquet for both emotional and logical reasons.
Even Xu Jingye did not expect that the biggest problem they faced would be easily rejected by Qin Yun.
Under such circumstances, Qin Yun did not want to spoil the fun, so he happily stayed to participate in the battle banquet, and drank several jars of wine with Li Jin and other senior officers of the Guard. This actually impressed the latter and others.
But by the time the banquet in the camp was over, it was already very late when he left the Guards camp.
It was a dark and windy night, and the city of Lingyang was much quieter. No pedestrians could be seen on the streets, only fully armed patrol warriors walking in neat steps on the streets, and the sound of domestic dogs could be heard from deep in the alleys.
Barking.
The desolate scene reminds people that this southern Xinjiang fortress is facing the threat of war.
Qin Yun got off the carriage at the entrance of the alley, rewarded the coachman with a tael of silver, and walked straight into the old alley. From a distance, he saw the lantern hanging at the door of the Shui family's old house in front of him. The cold night wind picked up a few fallen leaves and blew them away.
I walked away a bit drunk.
Halfway through the alley, Qin Yun suddenly stopped.
He straightened his waist suddenly, and all the muscles in his body tensed instantly. His dark eyes revealed a terrifying light, not even half drunk as before, like a cheetah about to launch a surprise attack, with murderous intent!
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The moment Qin Yun was alert, dozens of cold rays of light shot out from the darkness, completely covering him!
Qin Yun stood on the spot and did not dodge. In an instant, he pulled out the Scorching Sun Sword and held it forward. The tip of the sword trembled at an astonishing speed and transformed into blossoming silver sword flowers, which were worthy of facing the flying hidden weapon.
Although the enemy's attack hidden in the darkness came very suddenly, Qin Yun possesses superhuman keen perception and danger intuition. He could already feel the enemy's presence the moment the opponent's murderous intent was exposed!
The sound of metal colliding was endless, and the incoming hidden weapons were shot to the ground one after another, none of which posed a threat.
But the next moment, a blue sword energy suddenly fell from the sky above Qin Yun!
This sword energy appeared very quickly and suddenly, and the speed was simply unbelievable. It cut through the thick darkness of the night silently, and landed on Qin Yun's head in the blink of an eye.[]
The uncontrollable cold sword energy spread rapidly in all directions, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped to freezing point.
And almost at the same time, something seemed to break behind Qin Yun, and an unstoppable force surged in, instantly covering Qin Yun's space in all directions, making him feel omnipresent pressure!
This pressure did not pose a direct threat to Qin Yun, but it greatly restricted Qin Yun's movements, preventing him from using his body skills to dodge the shocking sword that fell from the air.
Talismans, only high-level spiritual talismans or even treasure talismans can produce such power!
In just the blink of an eye, Qin Yun was caught in a double attack. The enemies who launched a sneak attack cooperated with each other so well that they did not give him any chance to escape and resist.
At this critical moment, Qin Yun was extremely calm and raised his sword to block without hesitation. He opened and closed his left hand and instantly grabbed a cloud talisman from the universe space and crushed it!
Bang!
With a dull explosion, the fallen sword energy was shattered by the hot sword energy activated by Qin Yun. His left hand suddenly exploded into a ball of bright brilliance, and thousands of invisible energies were directed towards it like sharp swords.
Shooting in all directions!
Although Qin Yun has not been learning the art of talismans for a long time, under Shui Wanning's careful teaching, he has been able to refine top-grade cloud talismans with his extraordinary talent. His understanding and knowledge of talismans is not as good as that of a Qi Refiner.
Down.
As soon as the enemy's assassination plan came out, he immediately understood that the opponent had used a trapping talisman.
If there was no threat from above, Qin Yun could have used his tyrannical sword energy to break out of trouble, but under the double siege, he chose to break the talisman with a talisman.
There is a big gap in the grade of the talismans used by both sides. Qin Yun's cloud talisman can only temporarily tear away the opponent's power.
But just the flick of his fingers was enough. He suddenly screamed loudly, and his sword turned into a streak of red-gold sword light that shot straight into the sky!
Man and sword unite, and the sword cuts through the sky!
The seventh form of Taiyi Jinhuan Sword Technique is best used to deal with enemies in the air.
At the moment when he drew the sword, Qin Yun pushed his power to the extreme. The powerful and pure Nine Yang Zhenqi blasted into the body of the Scorching Sun Sword. The brilliant sword Qi tore through the night as if it were like the scorching sun in the sky, making people unable to stand up.
Dare to despise!
The sword energy reflected the despicable figure of the sneak attacker. The slender and graceful figure clearly belonged to a woman. She was landing on the roof ten steps away. She did not expect Qin Yun's counterattack to be so fast and violent!
Qin Yun jumped into the air with the help of his sword energy and immediately locked the target. His sword momentum suddenly changed, and thousands of sword energy immediately shot towards the assassin!
This change in attack angle will inevitably reduce some of the power, but even if the power is weakened by 20 to 30%, it is definitely not something that ordinary warriors can contend with.
The female assassin also fell from the sky. Seeing such a scene, she was shocked and hurriedly waved her sword in front of her to protect her!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Amidst the sound of rain hitting banana trees, she was knocked dozens of steps away like a kite with its string cut off, with bright red blood spilling along the way. She had obviously suffered serious injuries.
Even if her body-protecting Qi can block the sword Qi cutting, the power of the Qi Qi bombardment cannot be easily withstood.
After injuring the enemy with his sword, Qin Yun turned around in the air and fell to the ground. The sword's momentum changed drastically!
Just now, the bright light of the sword light illuminated the sky, allowing Qin Yun to lock onto the enemy in the air. At the same time, the opponent who sneaked up on him from behind was unable to escape.
There was an old man in black standing in the old alley of Shuijia. His face was covered with a black scarf, his gray hair was trimmed short, and he was holding a long snake-shaped sword in his hand.
Qin Yunren fell from the sky, and the hot sword energy emitted by the Scorching Sun Sword disappeared without a trace in an instant, but in just the blink of an eye, his whole person was enveloped by the sudden burst of starlight!
The rays of light catalyzed by the sword energy were like meteors falling from the sky. Tens, hundreds, thousands of them gathered together to draw a long trajectory, like a pouring galaxy, completely covering the sky above the old man in black.
!
The galaxy is upside down!
The transformation of the sword power was so natural, as if the two moves before and after belonged to the same set of sword techniques, but in fact, both the sword techniques themselves and the attributes of the sword techniques were completely different, but they all showed powerful power from Qin Yun's hands.
The Galaxy Upside Down is like an eagle fighting a rabbit, using a sword style to bully the weak. The strength of the old man in black was originally higher than Qin Yun, but when he faced the sharp power of this sword, his liver and gallbladder couldn't help but burst!
"Sword phase!"
He couldn't help but let out a desperate roar, and used all his strength to swing his sword towards the falling galaxy.
Before he finished speaking, the first group of meteors suddenly hit the sword body of the old man in black, shattering his hurriedly unfolding sword force. Then came the second group, and the third group in just a breath, and his whole body was covered by the sword.
Swallowed by Qi Starlight!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of energy colliding and exploding was heard one after another. The old man in black could not help but stagger back. His body-protecting Qi was blasted with holes, and his seven orifices were bleeding and his mouth was spurting out blood. He looked extremely embarrassed.
But there was still a sword energy chasing after him like a maggot attached to the bone, piercing through his body in one fell swoop!
The old man in black was shocked and stopped, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground.
He lowered his head and looked at the bloody hole on his chest, then looked at Qin Yun who was standing proudly with a sword seven or eight steps away, and opened his mouth and roared out the last roar: "Hurry up!"
He still wanted to use up all his strength to rush towards Qin Yun, but as soon as he jumped up, he hit the ground heavily, his eyes wide open with anger!
The female assassin who had been knocked away by Qin Yun originally wanted to come over to support her, but when she heard the roar of the old man in black, her delicate body trembled suddenly, and finally she turned around and quickly threw herself into the darkness.
Qin Yun did not immediately launch a pursuit, he was still immersed in the understanding of the two swords just now.
