Tibetan beads

Chapter 418 Where did the messenger come from?

That night, no one in Linshan City could sleep well.

Since Zhu Kuan became the master of Linshan, the city has become more and more empty.Later, there were too few people, and the army could not live without servants and food, and the remaining people survived.

The box of hateful thoughts can't be closed when it is opened, and people will be lost in the city from time to time.

Everyone is trembling, shutting up at night, for fear that they will become food on the plate.

Not long into the night tonight, they were awakened by the sound of crying and howling, screaming, miserable and desperate, and the blazing flames reflected half of the sky red.

The adults were trembling with their children in their arms, their eyes numb and terrified.

What happened in the barracks?Are they out to catch people again?How many people have been killed!
These people's appetites are getting bigger and bigger, will they arrest people from the city again?Can I still survive?
The long night finally passed, the fire gradually extinguished, and the screams gradually died down.

At dawn, the gates of the city were opened.

Several riders galloped in, but the leader was actually a female general.Holding a notice in her hand, she announced loudly: "People in Linshan listen up, the Zhu thief is dead, from today onwards, you don't have to enslave him any more!"

The horse went back and forth several times and spread it to every house. The common people couldn't believe their ears, but the words and sentences were so clear.

They opened the door with doubts, and they saw that the guard had changed.

The head of the village was called to the government office, and soon returned ecstatically, shouting loudly: "It's true! The villain is dead! Linshanwei is gone! They are all burned! Folks, we are saved!"

It turned out that the fire last night was burned by those villains!
"God open your eyes, God open your eyes!" The old woman with white hair burst into tears, knelt down and bowed her head with her grandson in her arms.

Her son and daughter-in-law went out to work earlier, and they didn't come back one day, so they were captured by the Linshan Guard.She herself is not afraid of death when she is old, but her grandson is only three years old, and she is afraid that one day those wicked people will target her.

It's all right now, she finally doesn't have to worry, and the revenge of her son and daughter-in-law has been avenged!
She was not the only one crying bitterly, the whole street and even the whole city were filled with crying, some people were crying and laughing at the same time.

God open your eyes, God open your eyes!

After they finished venting their emotions, they finally started to pay attention to another matter: "Who killed the villain? Who will control us from now on?"

The head of the village wiped away his tears and replied happily: "It's the second son of Yan and the third miss Xu, have you heard of it? The father of the second master Yan is the Duke of Zhao, and the third miss Xu is from Nanyuan. They have a marriage contract , Second Young Master Yan came to pick up his fiancée, and encountered Lin Shanwei doing evil things on the way, so he got rid of them."

"Duke Zhao? But that Duke Zhao who crusaded against the false emperor?"

"Yes! It's him!"

"It turned out to be the young master of his family. This Second Young Master Yan is amazing. He was the one who broke the Yuzhou Guard."

"Haven't you heard of Miss Xu San? Everyone in Chudi said that she was the Xuannv who came down to punish evil and eradicate adultery."

"Good man...May the Buddha bless the two of you for a hundred years."

Xu Yin and Yan Ling are already in the government office at this moment.

Linshan is Zhu Kuan's territory, and this government office is just a decoration.

Xu Yin sat down and yawned.

Yan Ling quickly said: "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, the false emperor will not arrive so soon, so there is no rush for a day or two."

Xu Yin nodded and asked him, "Did you send someone to deliver the letter?"

"Well. Linshan is like this, no one can take over, I asked my father to pick someone, it is still a city after all!"

"Then we wait for someone to come before we leave?"

"it is good."

After the two discussed, the house over there was tidied up, and Xu Yin went to rest first.Yan Ling took care of the camp affairs and went to bed.

The young people feel good, when they wake up, it is already dusk.

After the two finished their meal, the commander came over to report.

"My lord, we found this in Zhu Kuan's camp."

Yan Ling took it over and took a look, and found that it was a burnt gift list. He remembered: "By the way, where is the envoy Zhu Kuan entertained?"

The situation was too chaotic at that time, Yan Ling didn't pay attention to that person.

The commander said with shame on his face: "The subordinates didn't pay attention at the time, but when they checked later, they found the messenger's body."

Yanling understood that the camp was so chaotic last night, no one cared about any noble envoys.He just felt that if he would associate with someone like Zhu Kuan, he must not be a good person, and if he could figure it out, he would know it.

While flipping through the gift list, Xu Yin said, "This person is so generous, it doesn't feel like a normal gift."

Yan Ling looked over.

Xu Yin ordered the gift list: "Look, this gift is a bit too heavy? The Linshan Guard under Zhu Kuan is only a few thousand people?"

Yan Ling thought about it: "To give such an important gift, you must either ask for it, or deliberately make friends."

This is even more strange, Xu Yin was confused: "Is there anything Zhu Kuan can ask others to ask for?"

Yanling thought for a while, then ordered: "Bring the map."

"Yes."

The maps were quickly brought, and they were spread out on the table, and Yan Ling held up a lamp to light them up bit by bit.

Xu Yin's eyes followed his fingers back and forth slowly, and his expression became solemn.

"Someone wants to plot against Yan?"

Yan Ling put down the lamp, let out a breath, and nodded.

Linshan is a small city, but it is only a day's journey away from Yuzhou, and there are small roads that few people know about.

who can that be?

Yan Ling clicked on the map a few times: "These are all suspects."

Xu Yin looked at it for a while, but shook his head: "I don't think so."

Yan Ling asked with her eyes.

Xu Yin said: "Among these few, He Xingjun is the strongest. You and I know a little about Mr. Chu Jiu. Do you think he would do such a thing?"

Yan Ling and this cheap sworn brother had written several times, and also knew what happened in the Hexing Palace. After pondering for a while, he shook his head: "Chu Jiu likes to do things safely. If he is not sure, he can't attack rashly."

Xu Yin agreed: "I helped him at the beginning because I saw this. He knew very well that He Xing's strength could never be an enemy to you, so I don't think he would. As for the rest, they are stronger than He Xingjun. Why don't you have the confidence to attack you?"

"Then what do you think is..."

Xu Yin's finger slowly slid from Linshan to the right.

Yan Ling's face was solemn: "Jiangbei."

Xu Yin nodded: "You didn't consider Jiang Yi just now, because Jiangbei and Linshan are separated by Xiongqing Mountain. But what if Xiongqingshan Road has already entered Jiang Yi's hands?"

Yan Ling pursed her lips and had to admit the existence of this possibility.

"Jiang Yi has been keeping a low profile. He has strength and courage."

In his previous life, Jiang Yi was an ambitious man. The reason he was so quiet in this life was because he suffered repeated setbacks in the early stage and failed to take advantage of Dongjiang to rise strongly.But Xu Yin dare not underestimate him, a tiger is always a tiger, and one day he will show his fangs.

"I see." Yanling said, "I'll tell my father when I get back."

On the morning of the third day, people sent by Zhao Guogong arrived.

Yan Ling entrusted him with the matter here, and he still took Xuan Tiewei back.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and they arrived in Yuzhou before dark.
