Chapter 166: Gongsun Yuan's Provocation (I)
When he said this, Zhao Ziming suddenly stopped, and his expression became a little more dignified.
Lin Feng understood and knew that what he said was big, so he waved his hand and retreated.
"Ziming, if you go on, what is very likely?"
Zhao Ziming saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said: "It is very likely that it is the illegitimate son of Gongsun Rulong, Meteor!" ”
Hearing Zhao Ziming's words, Lin Feng's expression sank in an instant, and he asked in surprise: "What, Gongsun Rulong's illegitimate son Meteor?" ”
Zhao Ziming nodded vigorously and responded; "Not bad!"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, and then asked in a condensed voice, "Is the source reliable?" ”
Zhao Ziming replied respectfully: "The news is all from the Ye family, and there should be no mistakes." Moreover, Shui Yang, Chen Yang and others inquired in many ways, and also confirmed this matter. ”
Under the cold moonlight, Lin Feng's expression was like frost, and he paused for a long time, and asked in a very solemn tone: "Ziming, what do you mean is that it is Gongsun Rulong's old fox who is manipulating the ghost behind his back." ”
Zhao Ziming's lips moved slightly, and his expression showed a little hesitation. After a short pause, he plucked up the courage to say: "General, in my opinion, there is a chance that Gongsun Rulong is doing ghosts behind his back. ”
"Everyone in the entire empire knows that the Gongsun family and the Ye family have always been at odds. Now that the king is in his twilight years, the Ye family supports the eldest prince Dongfang Yu, but the Gongsun family is very close to the second prince Dongfang Hong. Once the king died, a fire caused by the imperial throne was inevitable. ”
Hearing Zhao Ziming's explanation, Lin Feng suddenly realized. From this point of view, in the Qingfeng Hunting Garden before, the Imperial Academy was ambushed by the Qingfeng Bandits, and Ye Yunluo and his Thunder Tiger Iron Cavalry were trapped in the valley. His previous conquest of the Qingfeng thief, as well as the assassination of Ye Yuqing on the road to Fengcheng, were all inseparable from the Gongsun family.
In fact, this series of things is inseparable from the Gongsun family, how can the Ye family be separated from the relationship?
The interests of the two families conflicted, but they had to put him Lin Feng in the middle and use him as a chess piece.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng's clear and deep eyes immediately rippled with a ripple that was not easy to detect.
If you want to get rid of the fate of being a chess piece, you must strengthen your strength, become a chess player, and control your destiny tightly in your own hands.
After working for most of the night, it wasn't until the fourth watch later that Lin Feng fell asleep deeply.
However, before he could fully fall asleep, there was a sharp knock on the door.
"Qiyu City Lord, Chang Ping, the steward of the Bandung Auction House, asks to see you!"
Lin Feng, who had been disturbed by someone's dream, was about to get angry, and suddenly heard the name "Chang Ping", and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.
After instinctively beating a spirit, a carp jumped off the bed, calmed down a little, and shouted: "Please Master Changping go to the reception hall, and I will be there later!" ”
"Yes, Castle Lord!"
In the reception hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Ziming, who had joined the army, was greeting Chang Ping warmly.
Although Zhao Ziming is still young, he is a natural wise man, intelligent and sensitive. Chang Ping is an old fox who doesn't leak.
When two smart people talked, they naturally stopped talking, and when they talked about their hearts, they couldn't help laughing.
Just as they were talking happily, the guards shouted from outside the door: "Lord of the city, here!" ”
Seeing Lin Feng coming, Chang Ping immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Little old man Chang Ping, I have seen the city lord!" ”
Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Master Chang is polite, I don't know what you Bandung Auction House thinks about about cooperation?" ”
Chang Ping smiled faintly and responded: "Everything will be done according to the will of the city lord!" ”
Lin Feng originally thought that he wanted to promote this cooperation. He had to go through a war of words, but he didn't expect Chang Ping to agree so readily, which was really a bit unexpected for him.
However, when he thought about the North Stygian Snow, he was also a little relieved. I didn't expect this girl who was as cold as frost to know that she was grateful for it, which was much stronger than the unruly county lord Lin Xueqing.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "Then thank you Master Chang." ”
Chang Ping stroked his silver-white beard lightly, and said with a slight smile: "Dare to ask when the City Lord's Qingfeng Medicine Refining Workshop will open?" ”
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, and replied with a smile: "Now that everything has basically been cleaned up, in three days, the Qingfeng Medicine Refining Workshop will be ready to open!" ”
Chang Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, brushed his silver-white beard, and said, "Okay, little old man is looking forward to it, the opening of the Qingfeng Medicine Refining Workshop in three days will be auspicious." ”
After saying this, Chang Ping smiled at Lin Feng again. Without waiting for him to answer, he bowed and said, "The city lord has every opportunity, so the little old man won't bother much, and he will leave!" ”
Lin Feng simply said a few polite words, and together with Zhao Ziming, he sent it outside the mansion.
watched Chang Ping's slightly rickety figure gradually disappear away until it completely disappeared at the end of the street. Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief and asked, "Ziming, how is the matter going, three days later, can the Qingfeng Medicine Refining Workshop open normally?" ”
Zhao Ziming replied respectfully: "Everything is in accordance with your instructions, general, and is ready in order." Not to mention three days later, even if it opens tomorrow, it can be carried out as usual. ”
Lin Feng nodded lightly, groaned for a moment, and said in a condensed voice: "Okay, as long as we take this step, we will be half successful." ”
Before Lin Feng's words landed, he saw two guards running over in a hurry, and said breathlessly: "City Lord, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good......
Lin Feng was stunned when he heard this, and asked urgently, "Speak slowly, what happened?" ”
One of the guards gasped in response; "If you go back to the city lord, the two generals, Zhao Wenlong and Zhen Dahu, were trapped on the mound by Gongsun Yuan and others, and the situation is very critical!"
Hearing this, Lin Feng's expression couldn't help but be shocked.
Then he didn't hesitate at all, and directly ordered urgently: "Ziming, all matters in the city will be handled by you for the time being." ”
"Xue Yong, you select five hundred iron horsemen to rush to the mound with me to meet our restless neighbor for a while!"
"General, your injuries haven't healed, I'm afraid you'll ......" Before Lin Feng's words landed, Zhao Ziming asked in a somewhat worried tone.
Before Zhao Ziming's words landed, Xue Yong, who couldn't hold his breath, directly raised his throat and shouted: "General, use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens." You don't have to go out yourself, just take care of it. ”
Lin Feng shook his head with a smile, and replied lightly: "You don't have to worry, the injuries on my body are no longer serious." Besides, that ghost-faced person has an inextricable relationship with the Gongsun family, and if you go alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it. ”
Seeing that Lin Feng was so persistent, Xue Yong and Zhao Ziming naturally didn't say anything more, and after casually responding, they prepared to go.
At the same time, at the junction mound of the two cities, a tragic situation of purgatory on earth is being staged.
On top of the bare mound, corpses had fallen to the ground. The bubbling blood gathered in the low-lying places like a hundred rivers converging into the sea, forming a gurgling stream of blood, reflecting the blue sky in blood-red.
Through this dazzling red, you can dimly see the owls and vultures hovering low in the air. Their shrill chirps, like the hideous laughter of the Grim Reaper, make people shudder when they hear it.
Zhao Wenlong and Zhen Dahu led five hundred armor soldiers to escort a caravan to Windy City according to Lin Feng's orders.
But when he reached the junction of Windy City and Lei City, Gongsun Yuan led an army of 3,000 to surround him.
Neither Zhao Wenlong nor Zhen Dahu are timid people, besides, they have just defected to Lin Feng's command, and they have not made an inch, and they have the opportunity to continue to show their abilities.
It is precisely because of this that the two sides disagreed with each other, and they made a big move and fought fiercely on the mound.
Zhao Wenlong and Zhen Dahu only had five or six hundred people, and most of them were born as bandits before, only brave and not strategic.
Therefore, after only half an hour of confrontation, they were completely defeated. Retreat to the mound and wait for reinforcements by virtue of the terrain.
At this time, Zhen Dahu and Zhao Wenlong, looking at their brothers who were dripping with blood, their hearts twitched violently.
"General Zhao, General Zhen, it's not good, it's not good, Gongsun Yuan is leading the army to attack again." A herald, covered in blood, hurried to the road.
Before he could finish speaking, he was buried in a pool of blood, a cold corpse.
Zhao Wenlong hurriedly stepped forward to support him, probed his nose, the muscles on the corner of his mouth twitched vigorously, shook his head like a mourner, and said, "He has lost his breath." ”
Seeing this scene, Zhen Dahu's whole body trembled, like an angry beast, and roared angrily: "His grandmother's bear, kill the mound and fight with them." ”
Seeing that Zhen Dahu's face was full of anger, Zhao Wenlong, who was still a little sensible, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Big Tiger, calm down. Thousands of elite divisions of Gongsun Yuan have gathered under the mound, and we only have a few hundred remnants now, and if we go down to a bloody battle, it will undoubtedly be an egg hitting a stone. ”
When Zhen Dahu heard Zhao Wenlong's words, he also regained his senses a little, and shouted with some frustration: "Then what should we do now, is it really necessary to sit still?" ”
Zhao Wenlong didn't answer directly, but glanced in the direction of Wind City. Then I don't know if I was answering Zhen Dahu's question, or muttering to myself: "Presumably, at this time, the generals should have received the news that we are trapped in the mound, and I believe it won't be long before they will rush over!" ”
Hearing Zhao Wenlong's muttering, Zhen Dahu slapped his head hard, and then shouted excitedly as if he had been beaten with expired chicken blood: "Yes, the general will definitely come to save us......"
Before Zhen Dahu's words fell, another herald hurriedly ran over: "General Zhao, General Zhen, the big thing is not good, the attack of the Lei Cheng army is too fierce, and the brothers are about to be unable to stop it......"
