The old master Gu didn't speak, but bent his back and smoked the dry tobacco until it became red, flickering on and off in the shadow of the backlight, and sneered after a while:

"I won't say much about the significance of this matter. It can be said that it is the winner of that position. If we win, the glory and wealth will be enjoyed by our children and grandchildren. But if we lose this game , Hmph, Mr. Dog, you should still remember the situation when you were kicked out like a stray dog. At that time, even if you wanted to live like that, you would not have it!"

The dog king suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand with a "Kaler", snorted coldly, and bared his white teeth for a long time before saying:

"Don't worry, you won't miss the prince's business."

The voice was very sharp, as if it was squeezed out word by word from the gap between his teeth. The giant mastiff and the two-headed dog at his feet seemed to have sensed the master's mood, and they got up all of a sudden, and fell down. He looked over with vicious and vicious eyes, as if he wanted to chew and swallow human bones!

Although he didn't look at anyone when he was talking, everyone present had their backs and involuntarily broke out in cold sweat. Only the old man sat quietly, no one knew, and he also swore in his heart that this matter was over It is necessary to beg King Jing for his bones to retire.With such a person, no, accompanied by a mad dog day and night, I am afraid that I will lose a few years of life!

At this time, in the inn yard in Quzhen, most of the guards who were capable of fighting were gathered together by Fu Yidao, and the servants of the Lin family also packed up their things in cooperation, and they looked like they were ready to go at any time.

But Lin Fengjin had been pondering before, but when he was about to set off, he called all the previous people together and said:

"I've thought it through very clearly now. For us, the current situation can be said to be very embarrassing. We are attacked on both sides, as if we are offended by both our friends and our enemies! However, there is a saying that opportunities are hidden in risks! If you think about it carefully, our future glory and wealth are actually hidden in this great crisis!"

Having said that, Lin Fengjin looked around and suddenly laughed and said:

"You must think that I've lost my mind and went crazy, right? To say such a thing, then listen to me and ask me a question. What is the purpose of King Jing and King Fu's subordinates rushing to Quzhen at the same time?"

Li Hu pondered for a while and said first:

"According to our previous observations and searches, there is absolutely nothing valuable in this caravan that is worthy of these two masters. That is to say, what they want is probably a secret! Hidden in people's minds, it is similar to a message secret."

"Yes!" Lin Fengjin said seriously. "From the details we have learned, this secret is probably in Fu Yidao's mind. In other words, both of them came here for Fu Yidao!"

Speaking of this, some people in the meeting have already figured out the key point, showing joyful smiles when they suddenly realized, while others were a little slow to react, so they still looked at Lin Fengjin with confused eyes.

Lin Fengjin smiled coldly, took a half sip of the cold tea beside him:

"Idiot! They came here just for Fu Yidao! It's this Fu Yidao that we have held in our hands!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone around breathed a sigh of relief. What people fear most is that there is no hope. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will naturally hold on to it. What's more, Lin Fengjin said it very well. Make sense?

They are also people who have run the business many times, of course they know that rare goods can be lived in, which means the current situation.Lin Fengjin stood up, paced slowly on the spot, and said confidently:

"That's right, it seems that we are now a thorn in the side of both King Jing and King Fu's forces. King Fu's people think we have the secret they want, and King Jing's people are because we deal with it. Hands! However, at this moment, for the two parties, the one thing they are most worried about is to force us directly to the enemy! This point will probably determine the success or failure of their trip!"

"So, you don't need to think too much. There is a saying that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit! What you are most afraid of is not being attacked on several sides, but that you have no value at all, and you can only become cannon fodder and abandoned children! On the contrary , we are now a rare commodity to live in, and it will be a good price to sell to any party!"

After hearing Lin Fengjin's words, Li Hu's eyes suddenly lit up, and Lin Fengjin continued to say seriously:

"Then, we have to recognize now how to reflect more and greater value in the eyes of both parties! From the current point of view, the two parties are most concerned about, without a doubt, the one that will be sent to Xiangdu. Judging from the current situation, Fu Yidao should be an insider. The six words he said may be the key to finding the gift, so the first thing we need to do is to firmly grasp this person in our hands. hands!"

"The next thing to consider is how to continue to reflect the value in the eyes of others after we hand over a knife! I won't be silenced or become cannon fodder immediately. I have a clue about this matter now, and because of time The relationship can also be put aside first."

If it is said that everyone in the Lin family was still in panic and confusion before, then Lin Fengjin's analysis just now gave them reassurance, at least they don't need to panic when they have a bottom line.But I heard Lin Fengjin say to Li Hu:

"I have seen from the mansion newspaper that King Jing and King Fu seem to have participated in the government affairs with the consent of Liu Qu, the lord of Nanzheng. So relatively speaking, the forces he has won over are mainly the Jianghu people under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment and the middle and lower-level officials who can be controlled and promoted by the Ministry of Officials."

"Therefore, this is also why King Jing can let such reckless heroes as Huishui county magistrate and dog king serve. In addition, the tiger in his hand should be Hu Jin, the commander of his uncle's flying tiger army, and the snake is the leader of the Yangtze River. The leader of the Jiang gang in the waterway, She Xinggu, is also a big man who washes his hands, but I don't know the specifics of what King Fu said, is there anyone to ask?"

Li Hu immediately went out to inquire about it. Although the information at this time was not very clear, it was related to the affairs of the Tian family, but officials and ordinary people liked to talk about it, so Li Hu came back soon and reported:

"King Fu went to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households. Needless to say, the effectiveness of the Ministry of War. In addition, King Fu himself likes martial arts, so he is very popular with the military. The Ministry of Households is divided into Qianfatang and Baobao The Quanju Bureau; the Household Department Sanku, which is in charge of the treasury; the Cangchang Yamen, which is in charge of storage and water affairs. In addition, the Chejia Qingli Department of the Ministry of War is in charge of the national horse administration and post office, and manages the customs and sea bans. , manage the affairs of the post office in Xiangdu, and handle the delivery of documents."

After hearing Li Hu's words, Lin Fengjin's eyes lit up, and he took a deep breath, apparently having made up his mind.He was silent for a while, and said calmly:

"Let that No. [-] come in."

After his subordinates brought Sanshiqihao, Lin Fengjin said:

"You open the waxed bamboo tube tied to the black dog."

No. [-] obviously knew that there was no mechanism there, so he did so simply, and took out a note from it, on which was written in crooked characters:

"After receiving the letter from Feige, Fu Wang knew the inside story, so he made a certain unit of Habayashi Guard suddenly turn around, galloped for [-] miles overnight, reached Shibalipu, and went straight to Quzhen! Its mobility is extremely strong, and it is even a master of tracking. Fortunately, the number of people is not too many, so if you are not sure about escaping, you would rather stick to Quzhen, I will arrive in the morning, so you must persevere, Black Loach, Yellow Tiger and their beast slaves will also arrive with you, and obey your orders."

The font was black and red, and debris scattered down when it was wiped with a finger. It was written in blood!After it dries, it falls apart.

That Yu Linwei is the emperor's pro-army in Xiangdu, so the morale and equipment needless to say, the main generals among them are the sons of princes and nobles.

At this time, the world is uncertain, and the five kingdoms are vying for hegemony. The children of princes and nobles are by no means a representative of corruption and incompetence. Just like the children of the Eight Banners who founded the Qing Dynasty, they are very sharp and powerful, and their combat power can be imagined.And Shibalipu is only more than 100 miles away from Quzhen. If the cavalry rushes to attack, it will take an hour or two.

Lin Fengjin pondered for a while, then said lightly:

"Since paying a knife is so popular now, of course we have to sell him for a good price! However, I still feel that it is safest to keep the secret in my own hands. Then, we should hurry up and get this secret out of the way now." Dig it out of the mouth of the one who pays a knife!"

"The portrait of Master Zhaomingshan that I heard before may be his secret, but maybe it's not. Lao Jiao continues to press! We can't give up until the last moment. We are going to leave immediately. Since the opponent is a cavalry like Habayashi Wei, So are there any nearby woods or places that are not conducive to cavalry fighting?"

The "travelers" in the caravan are responsible for inquiring about the surrounding terrain. It can be said that this kind of person has been traveling outside for many years, and often the trends of the mountains, rivers and land are in their minds, and even local legends and anecdotes. They are also very rare, so they are also called "ghosts in the ground".

This trip of the Lin family brought with them all the veterans in the caravan, so a man named Zhou Quan immediately came out to reply:

"Young master, there is no danger to defend the area of ​​more than a hundred miles around here. Only eighty miles to the west is a mountain range called Qiongshan. The Ganlin Temple on the mountain is very famous. Fifteen years ago, in the Ganlin Temple It was still occupied by a gang of thieves who have been entrenched for many years. The government was unable to attack repeatedly. In the end, they used separatist tactics to lure the people on the mountain to fight among themselves and get rid of the gangsters. Therefore, in terms of defense, there is no place more suitable than that place. , it can be said that one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it!"
