Chapter 487
"Is it really like this?" Lingshuang looked at Tang Yin in surprise. Those Mo soldiers would even kill the people of Mo Kingdom?
Tang Yin said faintly: "The scattered soldiers are no different from bandits and mountain bandits. They may do anything to survive and for money. TXT download.

Hearing what he said, Lingshuang felt much more comfortable in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face. She smiled at Tang Yin and said, "Thank you, brother."
Tang Yin asked inexplicably: "What do you want to thank me for?"
Lingshuang smiled but said nothing.
Soon, the Fengyu armies led by Tang Yin and Lingshuang arrived at Changdu, the county capital of Zeping County. Arriving here, it was time for Tang Yin and Lingshuang to part ways. In the evening, the local Fengguo officials held a banquet in the county capital to entertain Tang Yin and Lingshuang, the two monarchs.
The current head of Zeping County is Wang Song, who is a legitimate Fengren. He used to be the head of a county in Feng Country. After being sent to Modi, he became the acting head of a county. It was a rare opportunity to meet the king, so Wang Song was particularly attentive, surrounding Tang Yin and working non-stop.
At the banquet, Wang Song flattered and praised Tang Yin to the utmost, and almost praised Tang Yin as a peerless wise leader. Everyone likes to hear nice words, and Tang Yin is no exception. He was in a good mood and naturally drank more wine.
However, Tang Yin knew how to be moderate, and he had strong self-control. He knew how much he could drink. When he felt that he was about to get drunk, no matter how others persuaded him, he would not drink another sip.
Seeing that the king was drinking to his heart's content, Wang Song, who was sitting next to him, was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. While Tang Yin was happy, he pretended to be mysterious and rubbed against Tang Yin, whispering: "King, this time I have prepared a gift for you."
"Oh? What gift?" Tang Yin said with a smile.
"You will know when you see it. I guarantee that you will like it." Wang Song said confidently, and then he asked the servant to get the gift he had prepared long ago.
Tang Yin smiled up, looked at Ling Shuang beside him, and said half-jokingly: "Ordinary things, I don't care about them. In addition, don't give me beautiful women. My wife is right next to me, and I dare not act rashly."
As he spoke, he laughed again.
Hearing his words, Ling Shuang's face became hot and red, and she couldn't help pinching Tang Yin gently under the table, but she was very happy in her heart. Tang Yin would never say that she was his wife in public before, but now it seems that he has gradually accepted her.
Not long after, Wang Song's attendants returned, two of them, each holding a large brocade box in their hands. They came close to Wang Song and respectfully placed the brocade box on the ground, making two muffled bangs. It was obvious that the brocade box contained something very heavy.
Tang Yin smiled, looked down at the two brocade boxes, and asked, "Is it gold?"
Wang Song's face became serious and he said, "Your Majesty, this is a treasure more precious than gold." As he spoke, he stood up and opened the two brocade boxes himself. Ling Shuang was also very curious about what kind of treasure Wang Song had given Tang Yin in such a mysterious way. She stretched her neck and took a look inside the brocade box. She almost laughed out loud on the spot. Then, she couldn't help but sweat for Wang Song. Tang Yin was not someone you could joke with casually!
It turned out that the brocade box contained two black iron balls, and they had not been hammered yet. They looked very rough, and the uneven places on them could be clearly seen. To say that this is a treasure is simply ridiculous. It is useless and even if it is placed at home, it will be an eyesore.
After seeing it, Tang Yin raised his sword eyebrows and asked with a smile: "My Lord, what the hell is this? Are you kidding me?"
"My Lord, I dare not joke with you." As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and held up an iron ball. Because it was too heavy, his hands trembled when he held it. He took a deep breath and said to Tang Yin: "My Lord, don't underestimate these two things. This is cold iron that fell from the sky. It is extremely hard and spiritual. For spiritual practitioners, it is a rare good material for making weapons. Many people can't buy a fist-sized piece of cold iron even if they want to use ten thousand taels of gold!"
The cold iron he mentioned is actually meteorite iron. Meteorites fell from the sky, and most of them were burned. People called the remaining iron pieces cold iron, thinking that it was too cold, so it was not burned by the sky fire.
As for whether it can communicate with spirituality, it is unknown, but cold iron is easier to merge with spiritual energy. When completing the spiritualization of the weapon, it can greatly reduce the spiritual energy consumption of the spiritual cultivator, so cold iron has become a treasure that spiritual cultivators dream of.
It was the first time that Tang Yin saw something like cold iron. After listening to Wang Song's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. He took the iron ball from Wang Song's hand, held it up with one hand, and looked at it repeatedly, muttering: "So, this is cold iron..."
He played with it for a while, and suddenly released his spiritual energy and poured it into the iron ball. As he injected spiritual energy, the iron ball suddenly flashed with thousands of rays of light, so bright that it was dazzling. Tang Yin did not inject much spiritual energy, but it had such an effect. It can be seen that the rumors are true. Cold iron can indeed be perfectly integrated with spiritual energy. Soon, he took back the injected spiritual energy and looked at the ugly and rough iron ball in his hand, and he couldn't let it go.
It has such an effect even without any forging. If it is made into a pair of swords that are suitable for me in the future, its power can be imagined. The more Tang Yin thought about it, the more excited he became, and his two tiger eyes also showed a shining light.
Just by looking at Tang Yin's expression, Wang Song knew that the gift he prepared had touched the king, but he still pretended to be confused and asked, "What do you think of these two pieces of cold iron?"
"Not bad, really good!" Tang Yin played with it for a while before putting it back into the brocade box, and then curiously asked Wang Song, "Where did you find such a precious thing, Lord Wang?"
Wang Song said seriously, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and people's hearts are in favor of you. Naturally, someone is willing to take out treasures and present them to you. I am just offering flowers to Buddha, and I dare not take credit for it."
Tang Yin just asked him where he got the cold iron, but he talked so much nonsense, but Tang Yin was smart and didn't ask any more questions. Presumably, this is very likely that Wang Song robbed it somewhere in Zeping County. It's better not to know it, so just pretend to be confused with Wang Song!
He waved to Ah San and Ah Si standing on his left and right, signaling them to put away the two brocade boxes, and then said to Wang Song: "Although the treasures were donated by others, they should not be treated unfairly, and should be rewarded generously."
"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty is right. I will send someone to send a generous gift tomorrow." Wang Song hurriedly bowed his hands in response.
"Yes!" Tang Yin secretly thought that he was smart, nodded with a smile, and looked up and down at Wang Song. This man was not good-looking, but he was very scheming and knew his own preferences. He asked: "Is your Majesty living a peaceful life in Zeping County?"
Wang Song was happy and said: "Thanks to your Majesty, I am doing well now, but... that is..." As he spoke, he looked embarrassed and hesitated without finishing his words.
He knew that these two pieces of cold iron would not be given to him in vain. Tang Yin smiled secretly in his heart, raised his head and said: "Lord Wang, if you have any unspeakable secrets, please speak in person."
Wang Song no longer hesitated and said: "Zeping County has suffered from the disaster of war and everything needs to be rebuilt. Since I took over as the head of the county, I have stabilized the situation in the county. Now everything is fine and there are no rebels in the county. It's just that I miss home very much!"
"Oh, so that's the case." Away from home, thousands of miles away, it is also normal for people to miss home. Tang Yin nodded in understanding and asked: "Does Lord Wang intend to return home?"
"No, no, no, I know that now is the time when the king needs people. If I abandon the affairs of Zeping County just because I miss home, I will really be ashamed of the king's kindness."
Tang Yin thought for a while and asked again: "Since Lord Wang doesn't want to leave Zeping County, why not bring his family over?"
This question is to the point. Wang Song took a big detour and waited for Tang Yin to ask this. He was reluctant to leave Zeping County. Here, he was the chief of a county. If he returned to Fengdi, he could only be the chief of a county, which was a huge difference.
He looked embarrassed and said, "I have thought about bringing my family to Zeping County, but my current position as the chief of a county is only temporary. I don't know when I will be transferred back. Bringing my family here will cost a lot of money and they won't stay for long. It's not worth it!"
Tang Yin finally understood what Wang Song meant. In the end, he wanted to remove the word "acting" from the title of "acting chief of a county" and be the chief of a place in a down-to-earth manner.
If he proposed it directly to Tang Yin, with Tang Yin's personality, he would definitely agree, but he was so roundabout and beating around the bush, Tang Yin felt very uncomfortable, and felt that the other party treated him like an idiot.
Tang Yin responded calmly and said ambiguously: "I will mention this matter to Prime Minister Shangguan. As for whether Lord Wang is suitable to be the head of Zeping County, it depends on Lord Wang's performance and achievements."
"Yes, yes, yes! I will definitely work harder and live up to you. Tang Yin was also happy, waving his hand and said: "Lord Wang, there is no need to be polite, sit back and have a meal!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the banquet, Tang Yin and Lingshuang went to the inn to check in. On the way, Lingshuang asked: "Brother Wang, this Lord Wang is quite smart, but why do I feel that Brother Wang doesn't seem to like him very much?"
Tang Yin smiled and asked: "Sister Wang, can you see that I don't like him?"
"Isn't it?"
Tang Yin shrugged and said: "I like people who are straightforward and honest."
Lingshuang was stunned and said: "It seems that Lord Wang's generous gift is given in vain."
