Kong Sheng's Jinfan army moved quickly, chased for a long time, and had already caught up with the brigade. Lin Pinghui listened to Kong Sheng's report, and wrote down a grudge with Xia Koujun in his heart. He immediately urged the whole army to march quickly and chased after Lin Pinghuang.

Qinggu went out of the valley four groups of people that day, and Han Jing, the master of the Famen, had come to Jianye alone, he was dressed as a Confucian scholar, and he was born with a humanistic and elegant style of reading. As soon as he entered the city, he went straight to the mansion of the Marquis of Wuping. Han Jing and Wuping Hou Chen Lin did not know each other, and he was very reckless in asking to see him at the moment, but he roughly guessed that Jiuli wanted to subvert Dongyue, and he couldn't worry too much, so he wrote a letter asking for a meeting in his own handwriting, and six words were simply written on it: "Jiuli plots to seek Dongyue." "I bothered to send it to Chen Lin as the housekeeper of the Marquis of Wuping's Mansion.

The housekeeper saw that Han Jing looked like a scholar, and he didn't seem to have any martial arts cultivation, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and directly sent the letter to Chen Lin. When Chen Lin heard that a famous scholar asked to see him, he handed over the letter first, so he opened it and read it in detail. As soon as he opened the letter, he saw the six characters on the letter, and his whole body was shocked, and he told the housekeeper to quickly invite people into the house. The housekeeper saw that Chen Lin was quite nervous, so he hurriedly invited Han Jing to the study.

Chen Lin was already waiting in the study, and when he saw Han Jing, he looked at it, suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Who is Mr." ”

After Han Jing raised his hand and saluted, he replied quite calmly: "Qinggu, Famen, Han Jing." ”

When Chen Lin heard Qinggu, he had been an official for a long time, and he also heard a little about Qinggu, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Qinggu Han, who was rude." ”

"Marquis Wuping, this is not the time to be polite, I came in a hurry on this trip, also because of Jiuli's abnormal movements, I want to inform Hou Ye, I hope Hou Ye can take precautions." Han Jing said sincerely, Chen Lin listened to Han Jing's words, frowned deeply, and asked eagerly, "Mr. Han, did you find something?" ”

Han Jing said unhurriedly: "I have several disciples in Qinggu who have entered the WTO, and they have found that the Jiuli clan people are secretly deployed and have begun to act in Jianye, Wankou, and Weixukou, and the elders of Jiuli have participated in the pursuit of the Wang clan in Weixukou, and they have refined blood curse puppets in Anhuikou, and the most important thing is that there should be a lot of Jiuli hidden piles around Your Majesty now." ”

Chen Lin listened to Han Jing's words, thought for a long time, and replied: "The old man has recently discovered that His Majesty's behavior is becoming more and more extreme, after Zou Zhou left Jianye, the people close to him have also changed a lot, Mo Shoufu left, and even listed Dong Yun, Sun Lin, Mo Buyu and Mo Liu as wanted criminals. Speaking of this, Chen Lin suddenly had a thought flash in his mind, and asked Han Jing: "Dong Yun and Sun Lin are from Qinggu, right?" ”

Since Han Jing came to find Chen Lin, he didn't want to hide anything, so he nodded. Seeing Han Jing nodding, Chen Lin continued with a hint of pity on his expression: "His Majesty Wankou sent a large army, but the battle report from the front came, and the defeat was completely defeated, and His Majesty immediately handed over the additional troops to a person named Zhang Jue, and I have also met this person, which is really suspicious. ”

"Wuping Hou, Zhang Jue is very likely to be a member of the Jiuli tribe, he was injured by Wei Wuyan in the mouth of the Xu, the old general should be clear about the grievances between the Wei family and Jiuli, so that Wei Wuyan can go all out, it must be the Jiuli people, I rushed all the way to Jianye, and I heard a lot of rumors on the road, at this moment, there are visions in Dongyue Wankou, Lincheng, Le'an, and Shangrao, and the Jiuli clan has penetrated very deeply, and there are puppet armies outside Anhui and Xuancheng, and in the battle of Xuancheng, there are more than 10,000 Dongyue soldiers who have been refined into puppets, and the situation is very urgent." Han Jing summarized the news from several parties and informed Chen Lin.

Chen Lin heard so much shocking news at once, he was a little shocked and speechless, but after all, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, so he immediately calmed down and asked, "Mr. Han, can you tell the old man how to act at this moment?" ”

Hearing Wupinghou Chen Lin's extremely sincere inquiry, Han Jing said his thoughts: "Old General Chen, Jiuli has been deployed for a long time, I believe that not only in Dongyue, but also in the entire Central Plains Continent there are hidden piles or people who have been wooed, in the next opinion, you always want to persuade Your Majesty, capture the surrounding Jiuli people one by one, inquire about a detailed plan, concentrate the superior forces of Dongyue, and strike and eradicate them one by one, the most urgent thing at this moment is to send troops to sweep away the Jiuli forces in the area of Wankou and Lincheng, and at the same time clean up the Jiuli hidden piles in Jianye City." ”

Listening to Han Jing's words, Chen Lin kept nodding, he knew that this was indeed the most important matter to deal with at the moment, but seeing His Majesty's attitude towards Zhang Jue, he vaguely felt that His Majesty might have an extremely difficult time following his advice. But for the sake of Dongyue Sheji, he decided to enter the palace immediately.

Chen Lin bowed his hand to Han Jing and said: "I am tired of Mr. Han staying in my mansion for the time being, and I will enter the palace immediately and explain to Your Majesty that even if Your Majesty blames, the old man must try his best to persuade him, and he cannot let the Jiuli clan plague my Dongyue." ”

Han Jing saw Chen Lin's attitude, and he should promise to stay in the Wuping Marquis Mansion first and wait for Chen Lin's news.

Chen Lin immediately changed into court clothes and rushed to the palace.

Emperor Wen was in the imperial study at this time, he received the military information in front of Anhuikou, Zhang Jue told the Jinfan Army to deliberately delay, but the war was quite smooth, and he would be able to recover the cities around Wankou in a few days, as for the opponent, Zhang Jue was clear in the military situation, and all over the country was bewitched by the demons of Xuanmen in the green forest, and after recovering the cities, he asked for orders to sweep away the Xuanmen sects in the area of Poyang County, and then he would be able to cut off this evil force. After Emperor Wen read the military situation, he thought for a while, and suddenly heard Chen Lin asking to see him outside the door, so he asked the trial cadres to go to usher in the Marquis of Wuping.

Chen Lin followed the trial into the imperial study, and on the way, he vaguely felt that this person was unusual, but he didn't say a word, and kept thinking about how to make His Majesty make up his mind to eradicate the Jiuli clan.

When Emperor Wen saw Chen Lin coming in, he personally got up to greet him, and asked with a smile: "The old general entered the palace today, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Chen Lin bowed down solemnly, and his tone was very solemn: "Your Majesty, the old minister entered the palace today, because he wanted to report to His Majesty in person, recently there was a sudden war in the area of Dongyue and the mouth of the city, and it was rumored that there was a puppet army, and the old minister was worried that His Majesty would be deceived by others, which would lead to turmoil in East Vietnam." ”

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Wen's face changed, and he said to Chen Lin: "The old general wants to say Zhang Jue." ”

"Your Majesty, Zhang Jue is very weird, and I hope Your Majesty will be cautious." As soon as Chen Lin said this, the eyes of the judge standing on the side were staring at him.

Emperor Wen replied coldly: "Zhang Jue just sent a war report, and the war in the area of Xukou will be pacified in a few days, you are too worried." ”

Chen Lin guessed that Zhang Jue must have something to hide, and he argued: "Your Majesty must not believe these battle reports, the front-line war is not credible based on the words of this person alone. ”

"Ridiculous, do you mean I can't even tell the truth from the fake?" Emperor Wen was already angry.

Chen Lin hurriedly replied: "The old minister doesn't dare, Your Majesty, you should have heard of the Jiuli clan." ”

Emperor Wen heard the word Jiuli, his eyes widened slightly, and the interrogator on the side was also immediately alert, Emperor Wen slowly said to Chen Lin: "What do you want to tell me?" ”

"Zhang Jue is very likely to be a member of the Jiuli tribe, and Jiuli wants to subvert my Dongyue Jiangshan." Chen Lin directly expressed his suspicions.

Emperor Wen suddenly sneered, and the judge slowly stepped forward.

At this moment, there was silence in the imperial study, and after Emperor Wen was silent for a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and said to Chen Lin extremely coldly: "You are old and confused, do you think I am as confused as you?" ”

Chen Lin had never heard Emperor Wen speak like this, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and he suddenly understood why Gonggong Zou suddenly left Jianye, and why Mo Puzhi and Li Xuanzi died inexplicably. He gritted his teeth and replied firmly: "Your Majesty is not as old as Lao Chen, but for the current situation in Dongyue, Your Majesty seems to be confused. ”

The interrogator on the side heard Chen Lin speak like this, and shouted: "Bold, Chen Lin, you dare to bully the king." ”

Emperor Wen waved his hand to signal the judge to shut up, he stepped forward to help Chen Lin, Chen Lin was a little surprised at first, slowly stood up, Emperor Wen suddenly exerted force, pushed Chen Lin to the ground, the whole person was furious: "Chen Lin, don't think that you are old, I will not dare to kill you, I am the lord of Dongyue, I know my country, I see that you are impatient." The judge was secretly happy on the side, after Chen Lin's remarks, I am afraid that the best result is to resign and return to his hometown.

Chen Lin struggled to stand up, he looked at Emperor Wen and Shen Gan, and spit out firmly: "The old minister has reached the age of old age, and he has indeed lived long enough, I was seventeen years old in the East Yue army, fighting for more than 50 years, how the first emperor was eloquent and strategic to stabilize the society of East Vietnam, I can't bear to see it ruined, Your Majesty, listen to the old minister, don't believe slander." With that, his whole body suddenly rushed up, and he hit the doorpost of the imperial study, and immediately blood splashed on his head, and the whole person slowly collapsed in front of the door of the imperial study.

Emperor Wen was stunned, he didn't expect Chen Lin to be so decisive. Looking at Chen Lin's corpse, he turned around and said coldly to the interrogator on the side: "Send someone back to the Marquis Wuping Mansion." ”

The judge was also a little surprised by Chen Lin's actions at this moment, and when he heard Emperor Wen's order, he hurriedly called several internal guards and carried Chen Lin's body out.

Liu Yanzheng happened to be on duty today, he heard something unusual in the imperial study, walked over quickly, and happened to see several guards carrying Chen Lin's body, he widened his eyes, stopped the guards, and after confirming Chen Lin, he immediately rushed into the imperial study and asked Xiang Xingan: "What's the matter with Wu Pinghou?" ”

The judge replied angrily: "I killed myself." Liu Yanzheng was about to speak, and Emperor Wen said loudly: "Send the old general back to the Marquis of Wuping's mansion." Hearing Emperor Wen speak, Liu Yanzheng didn't dare to continue to ask, so he could only carry Chen Lin's body with a group of guards and leave the imperial study.

Emperor Wen didn't say anything more and went back to the inner palace. The trial gan left with Emperor Wen, and there was only a pool of blood splashed when Marquis Wuping hit the pillar in the imperial study. It didn't take long for a few little eunuchs to come and clean the doorposts and the floor.

Han Jing has been waiting in the mansion of the Marquis of Wuping, but what he is waiting for is Chen Lin's corpse, the family in the mansion saw Chen Lin's body, and heard the guards say that the old general committed suicide in the imperial study, a group of people were grief-stricken with doubts, and bursts of cries were immediately heard in the mansion. Han Jing was not from the mansion, he looked at Chen Lin's corpse, bowed deeply and left quietly.

Han Jing walked in Jianye City, he blamed himself very much, he was here to remind the old general to take precautions against Jiuli, but he didn't expect the old general to be so strong, after entering the palace and arguing with Emperor Wen, he actually said that he was dead, so he indirectly killed the Marquis of Wuping. He walked aimlessly alone for a while, and his thoughts were unsettled.
