Chapter Seventy-Six: Not Up or Down

Early in the morning, Wanqiu City.

A figure crept into the tent.

Lin Ying took a basin of cold water, was washing her face at this time, and when she noticed someone coming in, she asked without raising her head, "How is it?"

"I've seen Commander Lin, he didn't pass through there, but we caught a woman, who should be his friend, and we have set a trap to lure us. The man knelt down on one knee and said.

"Bastard, who is King Hui'an? How can he be threatened like this! I let you ambush you because his spiritual power has been exhausted, and since he didn't succeed last night, he won't have another chance. Hurry up and let the people go, and no evidence can be left. Lin Ying raised her head and wiped her face, and scolded angrily.

"Yes!"

"Wait!" Lin Ying stopped the man and thought about something carefully.

"What else does Commander Lin command?"

"Which do you say is more difficult to leave evidence, killing people or letting people go?" Lin Ying asked with a smile.

The man left, Lin Ying took a towel and carefully wiped the water stains on his hands, he wiped it very carefully, as if he didn't want to leave a trace of water.

"Report!"

Outside the tent came the sound of soldiers announcing their prayers.

"Come in!" Lin Ying drank.

"There is a man named Changgen outside the city, who said that he came to visit at the order of His Royal Highness King Hui'an. The soldier knelt down on one knee and said.

Lin Ying frowned when she heard this, slowly walked to the seat with the towel and sat down, and after a long time, she threw the towel in her hand into the basin on the side and said, "Let him come in." ”

"Chang has seen Commander Lin. Chang Geng said with a smile.

"Didn't you go back to the capital with His Royal Highness King Hui'an yesterday?Why did you come to Wanqiu City?, but what happened to His Royal Highness King Hui'an?" Lin Ying hurriedly stepped forward and asked a little nervously.

"Thank you Commander Lin for your concern, His Royal Highness King Hui'an is fine, His Royal Highness asked me to ask Commander Lin for someone. Chang Geng said.

"If I'm not mistaken, you had a very nice sword yesterday. Lin Ying looked at Chang Geng and said.

Lin Ying didn't ask who it was, he knew that there was no point in pretending any longer, but as long as he didn't admit it, no matter who it was, he couldn't do anything.

"Commander Lin remembers correctly, the name of that sword is Floating Water Dragon Yuan, which ranks ninth in the sword spectrum, and it was originally the sword of one of my uncles, but the two of us are away from home, and the family will inevitably have some worries, so I will keep the sword on my behalf. Chang Geng said.

"Or jump in the abyss, the flying dragon is in the sky, a good floating dragon abyss. Leap up or retreat, I was a little disappointed when I knew the name of the sword. Lin Ying shook his head and said.

"Dare to ask Commander Lin, where does the word disappointment start?"

"If I were you, you would either take that sword and force me to release people, or take the sword to save people, but now you actually come to me empty-handed to ask for someone? Lin Ying said with a smile.

"Commander Lin has admitted it?" asked the elder with a smile.

"Admit what? It's just the two of us, you don't have to say whatever you want. Lin Ying sat down and said.

"His Royal Highness King Hui'an asked me to convey a word to Commander Lin. Dean Mu already knew about General Lin's departure from the capital. ”

"What does General Lin have to do with Dean Mu?" The minister doesn't understand what this means, and asks His Royal Highness King Hui'an to make it clear!" Lin Ying said with his hand to the side.

"Does Commander Lin know the news that the State of Chu and the State of Qi are going to war?" the chief then asked.

Lin Ying raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and then said, "I've heard a little." ”

"Then does Commander Lin know the news from General Lin?" asked Chang Geng again.

These questions of Chang Geng seem to be asked at random, and even the questions are not related to each other at all, but Lin Ying understands what Chang Geng wants to say, Lin Pinggui is the general of the Beichang Empire, and he is only the commander of the Zhennan Army, and the war that will be launched in the west Lin Pinggui has no reason to be later than he knows, which means that someone must have done something.

War is a major event, and it is impossible for news to be sent only from all the way to the capital, usually by several routes, but Lin Pinggui is a general but he has not even received it all the way, and being able to do multiple letters at the same time is only possible for the powerhouses of the Fugue Realm to do.

And there are only two powerhouses in the world of the Divine Journey Realm, one of them has been missing for many years, and the remaining one is in the Spirit Academy.

As for why Lin Ying confirmed that Lin Pinggui had not received the news, like Xu An's thoughts, he also thought that if Lin Pinggui learned the news of the war between the Chu State and the Qi State, he would definitely not spare his hand.

"What does His Royal Highness King Hui'an want you to convey?" Lin Ying asked with a bowed head.

"His Royal Highness King Hui'an wants to ask Commander Lin to release him, and he can act as if nothing happened after he returns to the capital. Chang Geng said.

"I still don't understand what His Royal Highness King Hui'an wants me to let go. Lin Ying looked up and said.

As Xu An said, if Lin Ying agrees to release people, it means that he arrested Ah Li, so he will not admit it at all, no matter what you say, it is just speculation, and there is no evidence to prove that he arrested him.

"Then please ask Commander Lin to wait a while. Changgen said with a smile.

"I don't know what to wait for?" Lin Ying asked suspiciously.

"Commander Lin just said that my approach is neither up nor down, on the contrary, it is not necessary to use a sword to force people, the sword can only force those who are afraid of death, Commander Lin should not be this kind of person, so I don't need that sword, I need to use a sword to kill people. Chang Geng said.

"Are you using King Hui'an to force me?" Lin Ying said with a slight narrowing of his eyes.

"Don't dare. ”

"The State of Chu and the State of Qi are about to fight, and if the State of Qi is defeated, Beichang will be in danger, in this case, do you think His Royal Highness King Hui'an will choose to turn his face against me because of your life? Or is it to turn his face with General Lin?" Lin Ying said as he walked to the side and touched the steel gun on his rack.

"Flying birds, good bow hiding, under such a big situation as internal and external troubles, Commander Lin is so provocative, do you think His Royal Highness King Hui'an or even the Lord of the Kingdom will choose to forget about this matter afterwards?" said Chang Qiang, stabilizing his mind.

Chang Geng is a little nervous now, he is very afraid of Lin Ying's move, he admits that what Lin Ying said is right, even if Lin Ying kills himself now, no one will hold him accountable in this situation, even after the war, he will not kill the hero.

"What a bird, a good bow to hide. However, you may not know our Beichang, if no one sees you coming to Wanqiu City, even His Royal Highness King Hui'an will not be able to cure my crime, if you want to punish the crime, you must first have evidence to prove that I killed you, you should also know that I am in command of the Zhennan army, and it is not difficult to erase the evidence. Lin Ying took off his steel gun and looked at it carefully.

"Why should Commander Lin deceive himself, although you are in command of the Zhennan Army, this Zhennan Army is not your private soldier, you should know how long it will take from the city gate to your camp location, but I have used twice as much time, one of which is for you, and the other is for my own life. Changgen shook his head and said.

"Oh, I wonder what you've done all that extra time?"

"When the soldiers came to inform me of entering the city, I stood there and waited for a while, in order to give you some time to prepare in advance, if I was there, you might not be able to send someone to inform those people outside the city of something, after entering the city, I greeted people and said that my name is Chang Geng, and I came to visit Commander Lin on the order of His Royal Highness King Hui'an, but Commander Lin wants the entire Zhennan army of the city to accompany you to make false testimony?"

"Bastard! The Zhennan Army is my Beichang National Army! How can I commit perjury for a private person? Anyone who thinks this way should be punished!" Lin Ying drank.

"What Commander Lin said is that Commander Lin's loyalty will definitely be told to His Royal Highness King Yu Hui'an. Chang Geng said.

"As I said earlier, if you let me go, then there must be evidence to prove that I am the one who arrested him. Lin Ying continued.

"Commander Lin really isn't curious at all about where His Royal Highness King Hui'an has gone?" asked the chief.

"Where has His Royal Highness King Hui'an gone, and what is going to be done, how can the courtiers guess?" said Lin Ying as he arched his hand to the side.

"His Royal Highness King Hui'an took that sword and went to kill those who would not let go. Chang Geng said.

The threat in this sentence was already very explicit, and those people refused to let them go, so King Hui'an went to kill them.

"Then why did you venture here?" Lin Ying asked puzzled.

"I said when I came just now, I came to ask Commander Lin to release people, and His Royal Highness King Hui'an is going to kill people. ”

"Why did you come and let me go even if you killed someone?"

Although Lin Ying still didn't admit that he had arrested Ah Li, the meaning of his words had become obvious, if you go and kill people, you can save people?

"Because those people won't let them go, they can only ask Commander Lin for the next order. Please also rest assured, this order does not prove that it is the person you arrested, and the friendship between the two of us and His Royal Highness King Hui'an is not deep, His Royal Highness King Hui'an is willing to help me save people just to repay a favor, and he will not settle accounts after this incident, you also know that even if the two do not owe each other, His Royal Highness King Hui'an will not turn his face with you because of this. Chang Geng said.

"If I can't repay this favor to His Royal Highness King Hui'an, then when His Royal Highness King Hui'an returns to the capital, I will be the first unlucky person, but that's what you want to say?" Lin Ying said as he put the steel gun in his hand back on the shelf.

"Commander Lin has his own decision, so I don't think I need to explain more. ”

"I really have my own decision, you are right, if the Zhennan army sees you in my camp, then I really can't kill you again. But you still don't have any evidence to prove what I did. ”

"Commander Lin, don't worry, the evidence will be delivered later. Changgen said with a smile.

"Report!" came the soldier's announcement outside the account.

Lin Ying frowned and looked at Chang Geng, and then thought carefully about something.

"Commander Lin, the evidence has arrived. Commander Lin don't have to worry about anything, you're just arresting a friend of mine, and you're not going to assassinate His Royal Highness King Hui'an, this kind of crime shouldn't help Commander Lin, right?" asked with a smile.

"Come in!" Lin Ying drank.

"Someone outside the city asked to see him, he had a blood-stained feather arrow in his hand, saying that someone asked him to give it to Commander Lin, I asked him who he was, but he didn't dare to say. A soldier reported.

"Commander Lin, please rest assured, Commander Lin's subordinates shot and injured a prey, and came back to tell if they wanted to let it go, it has nothing to do with my friend, presumably my friend has also returned, so I won't bother much. Changgen said with a smile.

"Let him go. Lin Ying said.

"Yes. "The soldier withdrew.

"If it had been three years ago, I would have killed you. Lin Ying looked at Chang Geng and continued.

"Thank you Commander Lin for not killing. The chief shook his hand and saluted.
