After Lin Huayao gave the order, all aspects of the Southern Army immediately operated at high speed.

The eyes and ears who were ambushed on the side of Yuqing Mountain did not find out the news so quickly, and the Lin family did not wait, and the control of the whereabouts of the Ming Wangfu began directly.

Although Xijiang Province is not the main area controlled by the Southern Army, after all, it is adjacent to Yuezhou, and the Southern Army does not dare to carry out large-scale activities here on the surface, but its strength is not weak in secret.

With Lin Huayao's order, on the roads from Xijiang Province to eastern Guangdong, there were immediately countless pairs of eyes staring in the dark, as long as the Ming Wangfu really went to Yuezhou, it would be difficult to escape the eyes and ears of the Lin family.

Sure enough, in less than an hour, there was a harvest along the route.

"Dashuai, there's news!" Chu Ruocai hurriedly walked in front of Lin Huayao, handed over a secret report in his hand with a solemn face, and reported urgently: "Yuezhou has found traces of the black-clothed guards of the Ming Palace!" ”

Although Lin Huayao was mentally prepared, his expression couldn't help but change slightly at this moment: "Yuezhou? Didn't King Ming come down at noon? How could it be possible to get to Canton so quickly? ”

Directly took the secret report in Chu Ruocai's hand and hurriedly flipped through it, and sure enough, this information came directly from Yuezhou.

The content is that in the Chuncheng area of Yuezhou, traces of the black guards of the Ming Wangfu were found.

Chu Ruocai said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't be the group led by King Ming himself." ”

Lin Huayao had also come back to his senses and thought of this, but his expression was not only not relaxed, but his eyes were gloomy: "Another team of people in the Ming Palace? Can you be sure that Suyin appeared in Guangdong Province after the attack? ”

On the territory of the Southern Army, there are also people from the Ming Palace, before the prince's East Palace banquet, after the Ming Palace's attack, in addition to the revenge of the Lin family in the capital, in Yuezhou, it also aimed at the Southern Army, creating some deterrent actions.

The Southern Army also immediately ordered to investigate and clear these black-clothed guards lurking in Yuezhou.

These things are a secret game between the two sides, and they have not been put on the table.

If these black-clothed guards who are found now have existed in Yuezhou before, then it is easy to say, but if these people rushed to Yuezhou after the princess was attacked, then the situation would be obviously different.

Chu Ruocai understood what Lin Shuai meant, and naturally attached great importance to this, and immediately said when he heard this: "It has been checked, this group of black-clothed guards showed their traces in the Chuncheng area on the border between Guangdong and Xiangnan, according to the investigation, this group of people entered eastern Guangdong from Xiangnan Province in the early morning of this day, and they are not the people of the Ming Wangfu who lurked in Yuezhou before." ”

Lin Huayao didn't say anything when he heard this, but his eyes were even more gloomy.

Chu Ruocai thought about it at this time, and then said: "Dashuai, there is a guess about the identity of this group of people. ”

"Say!" Lin Huayao raised his head and said in a deep voice.

"When King Ming left Beijing, King Ming's Mansion was all dispatched, but only King Ming was the only one who rushed to Shangqing Mountain, and Lu Xunyi and others never appeared!" Chu Ruocai said.

"Lu Xunyi?" When Lin Huayao heard this, his eyes flashed in an instant, and his expression became deeper and deeper: "Do you think this group of people is Lu Xunyi and his party?" ”

Chu Ruocai didn't sell it, and said directly: "Yes!" Before, his subordinates only thought that King Ming was worried about Miss, so he took the first step, and Lu Xunyi and others should come later. But today, King Ming didn't wait for them, and directly led everyone down the mountain. This shows that Lu Xunyi and the others will not go to Shangqing Mountain again, or rather, they were not prepared to go to Shangqing Mountain in the first place. If so, where did they go? If our previous inference was correct, the murderer pointed at the Huangting Mansion, then it is not impossible for the Ming King to rush to Shangqing Mountain on the one hand, and directly send people to Yuezhou on the other hand, and go straight to the Huangting Mansion. ”

"Also starting from the capital, taking the Han River, and then through southern Hunan to Yuezhou, it is closer than the distance from King Ming to Xijiang through the Beihe. These people happened to come from the direction of southern Xiangnan, and considering that the speed at which they hurried was slightly slower than that of King Ming's single horse, then the time they arrived in Yuezhou should be the same as the time when King Ming arrived at Shangqing Mountain. In this way, it is extremely possible to infer from time and distance that these people are the same people who left Beijing in the first place. ”

Lin Huayao squinted slightly, nodded slowly, and said, "If it is really them, then it can basically be concluded now that our previous guess is indeed correct." ”

Chu Ruocai didn't say more, in fact, now that all the factors are combined, it can be determined that the previous speculation has been fulfilled.

There is no need to report the luck mentality, now all you need to think about is to see how the big boss will respond.

Lin Huayao pondered for a moment and said, "What about King Ming and his party?" No news yet? ”

"I haven't found it yet!" Chu Ruocai shook his head.

"Investigate again, we must find the whereabouts of King Ming, the man who appeared in Yuezhou, even if it was led by Lu Xunyi, before King Ming himself arrived, they should not dare to attack Huang Tingfu easily." Lin Huayao shook his head and said.

"Yes, but Dashuai, by now, it has basically been determined that the Ming Wangfu is indeed coming to the Huangting Mansion, in this case, shouldn't we be prepared here?" Chu Ruocai nodded, but asked for instructions.

They had already discussed the deal before, if once the Ming Wangfu really went to the Huangting Mansion.

Then they pretended not to know for the time being, and postponed the trip back to Yuezhou, avoiding the head-on conflict with the Ming Palace, and waiting for the Ming Palace's action before coming forward to deal with it.

But now, when the matter is approaching, Lin Huayao is still a little hesitant.

Obviously, if it comes according to the plan, he chooses to sit idly by, and if the southern army does not intervene, Huang Tingfu is definitely not the opponent of King Ming, and if he is caught off guard, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out.

Although it is said that this is a plan and then act, in order to avoid greater losses, in fact, no matter what, seeing the forces under his command being defeated, Lin Huayao was actually calculated in the end.

Let him admit this planting, he is always unwilling.

can come forward to protect the Huangting Mansion, there is no doubt that it will face the Ming Wangfu, and the reason for the Ming Wangfu is that the Huangting Mansion moved Lin Suyin, Lin Suyin is his daughter, and it is really out of control, and he is still embarrassed in the end.

Lin Huayao pondered for a long time, and finally closed his eyes slightly and said: "It's still that sentence, we lost the first move, and we can't figure out how Huang Tingfu was identified as a murderer. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ruocai knew it in his heart, stood up and bowed and said: "Then the subordinates will go and arrange, the special train will slow down, and the southern army will be silent on the whole line against the Ming Wangfu and his party." ”

Lin Huayao didn't say anything, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

But just when Chu Ruo had just turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly opened his eyes again and spoke: "Wait!" ”

When Chu Ruocai saw this, he couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, but suddenly saw Lin Huayao's eyes seem to have a murderous flash, which made Chu Ruocai immediately feel sorry for him, and hurriedly bowed his head and waited.

However, Lin Huayao paused again, and after waiting for a while, Chu Ruocai heard his voice sound: "What if King Ming failed to succeed in this trip to Huangting Mansion, but was accidentally left behind by Huangting Mansion?" ”

"Huh? Left behind? When Chu Ruocai heard this, he didn't react immediately.

But then the murderous aura in Lin Huayao's eyes just now shook in his heart, and he immediately couldn't help but be shocked, and looked up at Lin Huayao in horror.

But I saw that the murderous aura in Lin Huayao's eyes had already subsided, and it seemed that he was just asking casually.

However, how could Chu Ruocai, who had followed him for many years, not know that Lin Shuai was by no means casual, but really thinking about whether to keep King Ming.

For a while, he was really completely shocked by Lin Huayao's bold idea, and said almost without thinking about it: "Dashuai, this matter must not be allowed, the joint treaty has just been signed, if we leave King Ming at this moment, it will be tantamount to blatantly breaking the contract." Not to mention the reaction of the national dynasty and the Daomen, even the other warlord forces will never agree. If one is not good, it will surely bring disaster to our southern army. Please also think twice! ”

No wonder Chu Ruocai was so frightened, it was really Lin Huayao's idea that was too terrifying.

Today's King Ming is no longer the original King of Ming, he is branded with the name of the supreme of Daomen, and is the representative of the joint anti-barbarian side, in the joint anti-barbarian situation, the status and Lin Shuai are on an equal footing.

Just as the one in the capital hated Lin Huayao no matter how much he hated him, he didn't dare to keep him in the capital.

How dare Lin Huayao leave King Ming on the territory of the Southern Army?

Not to mention the forces of all parties, even the tens of thousands of ordinary people in the world may not agree, once the southern army does this, it will be immediately abandoned by the people of the world.

"It's not that we want to keep King Ming, but Huangting Mansion!" Lin Huayao heard this, but still said.

It was clear that even with such serious consequences, he was still moved.

This is actually normal, for Lin Huayao, if he wants to get rid of King Ming, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Lin Huayao became more and more determined in his thoughts: "If King Ming greets us in advance, then something happens to him, and we can't shirk it." But he didn't greet us, but was extremely arrogant, and directly trespassed on the territory of our Southern Army, and we didn't know about it at all, so how could we guarantee his safety? He went to fight Huang Tingfu, how could Huang Tingfu be arrested without resisting, and as a result, something happened to him, and it was also his own fault. Even if the Huang Ting Mansion is a force under my command, I also believe that the Huang Ting Mansion will be disposed of to give an explanation. ”

Chu Ruocai felt bitter in his heart: "Dashuai, no matter whether the Huangting Mansion can keep the Ming King or not, the key is not to leave the Ming King on our territory!" This is just like the time when King Ming attacked us after the prince's banquet. If the Ming Wangfu really succeeded at that time, and the dynasty pushed the Ming King out to explain to all parties, could it really be explained to the past? ”

When Lin Huayao heard that Chu Ruocai compared himself, he was obviously still unhappy.

The dissatisfied snort coldly said: "What you say sounds like the same reason, but in fact, it is the opposite of the other. Don't say that the king can't compare with the weight of someone in my Lin, just say that I am an upright and enterprising Beijing, and of course my safety must be guaranteed by the dynasty, and if something happens to me under the protection of the dynasty, then naturally no matter what the reason, who did it, the dynasty should be responsible. But he Ming King trespassed on my territory, and if something happened to him, how can it be compared with that day? ”
