My enemy's style is wrong

Chapter 86

Lin Xiuran's counterattack came earlier than Lin Maofeng thought.

In less than half a year, the army of "Fighting Demons and Protecting Dao" had already taken shape and surrounded the entire Xihe.

Although Lin Xiuran said he came to the front line in person, in fact, he was more of a morale-boosting gimmick. After all, his age and cultivation level are not high, and his actual combat experience is not rich. It is okay to accumulate some experience with his long experience. If it is really necessary for him to command so many troops, he will be a bit powerless.

The real coach of this battle is actually Yan Cheng, and Lin Xiuran dared to use him to defy all opinions. After all, although Yan Cheng's aptitude is not bad, his background is really not good. To put it bluntly, they are actually the young children raised by the Lin family. They pick out some good-hearted children and focus on training them. They are called trilogy, but in fact they all form a blood contract. Not much more.

But the rest of the Lin family really disdain Yan Cheng. Although the cultivation world pays attention to strength, they care more about these aspects than ordinary people. , are like the private property of the Lin family. Although Linhuai is only a side branch of the Lin family, compared with Yancheng, its status is worlds apart.

Lin Xiuran didn't care about Yancheng's origin, he never had any distinction of superiority or inferiority, Lin Feimo also came from a servant, so he was treated like a younger brother by him.Although he doesn't understand the art of war, he also knows that most of them, such as private soldiers and dark guards, only recognize the leader and ignore others. Yancheng is quite prestigious in these trilogy. The right person comes.

The people from Minghe Mountain and Qingjianmen naturally belonged to their respective sects to lead and command, but since they wanted to help each other, at least they had to discuss the details with Yancheng.Liu Tingzhi wanted to express his opinion on behalf of his nephew, so naturally he would not point fingers at Yan Cheng and showed his trust, but others would inevitably feel a little grudge, but no matter what, since Lin Xiuran had already let Yan Cheng take full power, they also agreed It's not good to say more.

It has been almost half a year since the change of the West River in winter last year.Except for the first few days, when the cultivation world hadn't reacted and made no moves, Xihe had been besieged for several months. Although the demons in the city couldn't escape, the monks outside the city couldn't get in either.

Before this incident, the Lin family had always been the mainstay of the cultivation world, and the defense of the entire Xihe was naturally impenetrable. If a foreign enemy wanted to invade, it would be almost impossible to reach the sky, but Lin Maosheng took Xihe as his own from the inside out. Lin Xiuran wanted to It is even more difficult to restore the ancestral land.

Naturally, Lin Xiuran knew the way to unlock the entire Xihe defense restriction, but after half a year, no one knew whether Lin Maofan had done anything in it, and Lin Xiuran didn't dare to try it lightly before the situation became clear.

In fact, Lin Maofeng was not optimistic about the situation this time. The resources in the city were increasingly scarce, and he was not prepared enough to start the incident in advance, and he was in a hurry. It has become increasingly difficult to expand the hinterland of the cultivation world, even if it is just to stick to it.

Just before Lin Xiuran consolidated his forces and brought people to attack, Lin Maofan had already decided to give up Xihe.

Naturally, there are teleportation arrays or secret passages leading to other places in Xihe County, but Lin Xiuran must also know about these secret passages, not to mention that Lin Maofan underestimated Lin Feimo back then, which also allowed him to discover a lot of secrets. , now it is even more troublesome.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is midsummer of the year again. The Demon Realm has always been gloomy and cold, so many demons can't bear this climate. Although they are not as exhausted and heatstroke like ordinary people, they are also slack a lot. Xia is quite familiar with the cultivation world, but the demons at a lower level don't know much about the situation in the cultivation world. Hearing Lin Maofan's order to leave, they happily start packing up regardless of whether they are going back to the demon realm or not.

Jiang Li patrolled outside the city, and was almost spotted by Lin Xiuran's people. After some difficulty, he flung his tail and ran back, and went straight to the main hall of the Lin family in a hurry.

Originally, Lin Maofeng was supposed to work in the study, but this is the place where Lin Maozhi died. Although Lin Maofan didn't mind this, he was also worried about what Lin Maozhi would do before he died. All the stored materials, jade slips and the like have been moved to his residence, and he handles affairs there on weekdays.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Li's voice seemed a little hasty, he stood outside the door and called softly a few times, before Lin Maofan could speak, he hurried in.

This is because he has always relied heavily on Lin Maofan, and he has long been regarded as his confidant, so he dares to be rude occasionally.Ever since the situation took a turn for the worse, it can be said that Lin Maofan's temper has become more and more serious. If others feel unsatisfactory, he will be severely punished by him, so Jiang Li will not lose his temper when he sees him.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that it was Jiang Li who came in, Lin Maofan's expression eased a lot, and he glanced coldly at the trembling subordinate beside him who had just been reprimanded. Although the demon clan was already sweating like rain, But at this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, pleaded guilty and withdrew as if relieved from a heavy burden.

If it had been the past, Jiang Li would probably have asked how that person made Lin Maofan unhappy, but right now he really didn't have the time to take care of these things, and after the demon clan left, he frowned and said: " Your Majesty, the subordinates have just returned from inspections outside the city, there have been many changes in Lin Xiuran's side in the past two days, and the formations have also been frequently repaired and rectified, I am afraid that they will attack the city in just these two days."

Lin Maofan's expression didn't change much. Seeing Jiang Li's nervous face, he asked, "How is the arrangement in the city?"

"The confidants brought by Your Majesty from the Demon Realm have been prepared and can leave at any time, but the people below may be too late." Jiang Li said.

"Don't worry about them." Lin Maofan's expression was indifferent, apparently he didn't care about it, but asked directly, "Where's Lin Xiu'an?"

Jiang Li was a little dazed, not quite sure why Lin Maofan suddenly mentioned Lin Xiu'an, but he still replied respectfully: "He has been detained in his courtyard, and his subordinates have ordered people to guard him strictly. Deal with him?"

"No need!" Lin Maofan's face was grim for a moment, but soon a gentle smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, "I'm serving you, bring him here."

Jiang Li left as promised, and came back not long after, followed by four or five demons, surrounded by Lin Xiu'an.

Seeing those demons surrounding him expressionlessly, Lin Xiu'an deliberately slowed down his pace, looking very reluctant, Jiang Li frowned when he saw him lingering far behind, and Dang even gave him a wink The few demons beside Lin Xiu'an immediately understood and stretched out their hands to push him.

Lin Xiu'an was staggered by the push, and stumbled into the room. Seeing Lin Maofeng inside, he took a small step back in fright, and timidly bowed his waist and cupped his hands and said, "Father."

However, he didn't see the original unbridled publicity at all.

At the beginning, he also thought that Lin Maofan's lack of restraint and discipline was out of doting, but now it seems that Lin Maofeng probably never cared about him at all, so he didn't care whether Lin Xiu'an caused trouble or not.

After Lin Maofan seized Xihe, Lin Xiu'an was put under house arrest in his own courtyard. Although he had no worries about food and clothing, he couldn't get out even half a step. Mozu.

For the past six months, Lin Maofan has been ignoring him. Lin Xiuan even felt that he would be besieged to death in this courtyard. When he learned that Lin Maofeng wanted to see him, Lin Xiuan was actually pleasantly surprised for a moment. He even thought about it. Alright, how should I complain to Lin Maofan coquettishly, so as to confide in the grievances he has suffered.

After all, he is the only son of Lin Maofan, and he is the most important inheritance in the aristocratic family. Since Lin Maofan has become the head of the Lin family, isn't he also the young master?Even if his aptitude is not good enough to be the young master, with the name of the son of the patriarch, he will definitely have a very good life in the future.

But when he saw the expressions of the demons who took him away, this joy was poured cold water. When he saw Lin Maofeng, whom he hadn't seen for half a year, the excitement and joy in his heart became even stronger. It's completely cooled down.

"How is my son?"

A smile appeared on Lin Maofan's face, but Lin Xiu'an shivered abruptly, and said tremblingly: "Thank you, father, for your concern..."

"Have you eaten all the pills that your father gave you?" Lin Maofan obviously didn't have the heart to greet him, so he interrupted him directly, and said, "Let's leave tomorrow, if you have anything you want to take away, go quickly tidy."

Lin Xiu'an looked at her blankly, and said hesitantly, "Father...where are you going?"

Lin Maofeng smiled softly, and there was even some kindness in his tone: "Father will take you back to the Demon Realm."

As soon as he said this, Lin Xiu'an's face turned pale with fright. After several years of transformation, the Demon Realm has already become suitable for the survival of the Demon Race. The power circulation will also become much slower. Lin Xiu'an is originally a cultivation base made of pills. If he really went to the Demon Realm, how could he survive?

Didn't Lin Maofan's words tell him to go to the Demon Realm to die?

"Father!" Lin Xiu'an cried out aloud, because of fear, his eyes even seeped some mist, "What did you do wrong?"

Lin Maofeng grabbed his neck, but his tone was still gentle and loving: "What did you do wrong? You didn't do anything wrong. Even if you did something wrong, your father wouldn't blame you. You are... Lin Maofeng's only son ah."

Lin Xiu'an felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, as if the father who had pampered and indulged him for so many years was nothing but an illusion from beginning to end.
