Since Jinling released Li Yuguo's funeral, in the past few days, the envoys and important civil and military officials from all over the Tang State have also gathered in the capital, and the capital is suddenly overcrowded, and those soldiers and important ministers who guard all parts of the Tang State have gone to the palace to mourn.

The officials from all over the palace have knelt on the futon, crying bitterly in front of Li Yu's coffin, but now the new lord of the country is mourning, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and the king of Zheng Li Congshan is plotting rebellion, and there is no heir to the throne behind the previous lord of the country, and many generals have no choice but to bow to Li Congqing, the king of Qi, and in their hearts they have regarded the king of Qi as the next lord.

Seeing this, Li Congqing tried his best to maintain a painful expression on his face, and he treated people and things very well, but he had already been proud in his heart, and he inadvertently felt a little fluttering about the throne, as if he was already sitting on the throne and pointing out the Tang Dynasty.

Han Xizai stood in the queue, his expression was solemn, looking groveling, at this moment he stared at this palace for a long time, and in front of the coffin of this palace, the king of Qi wolf ambition, the lord Li Yu was weak like a sheep to be slaughtered, the coffin was not the lord Li Yu, for this diametrically opposite everything, Han Xizai no longer attached importance to all this, the destruction of the Tang Kingdom was a matter of time, whether it was Li Yu or Li Congqing, it was not a benevolent lord. He knew that all this was a catastrophe for the Tang Kingdom, and the plan behind the King of Wei was also in full swing, just waiting for the final blow.

At this moment, Han Xizai took a long breath, and then his gaze fell on a general, and at this moment, Chen Qiao also glanced at that general, which seemed to be very serious.

The general was in his thirties, burly, and was kneeling in front of Li Yu's coffin at the moment crying bitterly, beating his feet and chest, and there was a killing power between his words, and finally showed a fierce spirit, vowing to kill King Zheng and the thief to repay the king's kindness, if it wasn't for Chen Qiao and others to stop, maybe this general was angry at the crown, and really rushed into Dali Temple single-handedly, and cut off the Zheng King Li Congshan with a knife in his hand.

Li Congqing, the king of Qi, also stepped forward to comfort a few words, as for Zheng Wang Li Congshan, he could only be executed after waiting for the verdict of Dali Temple, and the rest of King Zheng's family and family Ding were also temporarily detained in Dali Temple. King Qi also heard about this general's fist heart, and naturally he also had the heart to solicit.

It's just that this general didn't accept the favor, as if he was a little away from the King of Qi intentionally or unintentionally, but fortunately today it was just a condolence, and the King of Qi did not blame him for his faux pas, and the general Wang Shen on the side also came over with a look, signaling the King of Qi to slowly figure it out.

It was late at night, and today's condolences were over, and the ministers went back to their own doors.

In the twilight, a full moon in the sky sprinkled a faint silver light, and a mule cart slowly came out of the palace gate, heading towards the east of the city, and the owner of the cart seemed to be extremely low-key and unwilling to make a public statement. Not long after, far away in the east of Jinling City, close to the door of a mansion on the bank of the Qinhuai River, the car had stopped, and at this moment a burly man came out of the mule cart, he was wearing a round-necked dark robe, although he was wearing a robe, but it was completely inconsistent with his temperament, the hands were thick calluses because of the perennial martial arts practice, this person was obviously a military general.

The military general has arrived at the gate of the mansion at the right time, and in the faint moonlight, the word "Lin Mansion" is written on the lintel, that is, the word "Lin Mansion", and although this mansion is on the bank of the Qinhuai River, the mansion does not have a trace of luxury, but is low-key on the side of the luxurious mansion, which looks out of place.

When a tooth general at the door saw the thirtie-year-old general, he immediately raised his hand slightly and said, "The last general has seen General Lin!" ”

The burly man in the thirty-year-old round neck dark robe did not answer, but looked at the tooth general and nodded.

The tooth general immediately understood the meaning of his own general, and immediately entered the Lin Mansion with the two of them, and this general is Lin Renzhao who returned to Beijing, this person is a generation of famous generals of the Tang State, originally a general of the Fujian State, and later returned to the Tang State, after the battle of Zhengyang Bridge in the first battle of Zhou, Tang and Huainan, the bridge was burned against the wind, and the Zhou army was blocked, and was appointed as the envoy of the Zhenhai Festival, and changed the town of Wuchang.

The person they monitored tonight was this Lin Renzhao, who seemed to attach great importance to this person in the mouth of the young master, and Chen Yuan didn't know why the young master cared so much, but seeing the young master's order, he seemed to have a soft spot for him and was full of praise, presumably this person had already entered the eyes of the young master.

According to the intelligence, Lin Renzhao is indeed a very powerful general, Chen Qiao appreciates Lin Renzhao very much and treats him very seriously. Lin Renzhao was born in the army, and although he was a general, he was still able to share weal and woe with the soldiers, so he won the hearts of the army. Moreover, it was also mentioned in the intelligence that Huangfu Jixun, Zhu Lingyun and others had a discordant relationship with Lin Renzhao, and this point could be used by the Great Song Dynasty to drive a wedge.

Chen Yuan led people to ambush in a corner not far away, his eyes kept staring at the people in front of him all the time, and at this time, he saw that Lin Renzhao moved into the mansion. Chen Yuan immediately waved his hand, and a group of black-clothed warriors behind him immediately headed towards the alley to the west, the other team ran towards the alley of Lin Mansion in the east, and the remaining team stayed where they were, in order to meet their subordinates.

Lin Renzhao had already left for the mansion, and when his general entered the mansion, he withdrew back and went to the gate of the mansion.

Lin Renzhao walked out of the corridor and was crossing a small path at the moment. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed over the shadow wall, and suddenly a flying knife flew in the direction of Lin Renzhao, Lin Renzhao suddenly heard a sound flash in the air, and saw a flying knife in the cold moonlight looked particularly dazzling, so he stepped forward, his right hand came out, and he took it, and instantly held the flying knife firmly in the palm of his hand.

Then he quickly spread it out and saw that the flying knife was engraved with a long word, this is the second time he has seen this knife, the last time was in Runzhou, but at that time the knife was inserted in a door, and the knife mountain was also tied with a note, which was to pay attention to the situation in the capital, especially Li Congqing, Huangfu Jixun and others.

Lin Renzhao only felt strange at the time, and then after arriving in the capital, he was cautious, according to the tips on the note, as far away from those people as possible, and Li Congqing, the king of Qi, seemed to have a heart for himself, and said something meaningful to himself before the coffin of the lord of the country, but the person who left the note reminded him of this, but he didn't know what the reason was.

Seeing this flying knife again today, he was eager to know the intention behind the person who left the note, and at this time he suddenly raised his head and asked the air: "Who is Your Excellency, why did you trespass on my Lin Mansion late at night?" Why didn't you show up last time, did you have any intentions? ”

In the middle of the night, that voice had already come from the air, that voice carried a hint of relief and a hint of surprise, that voice was like a Hong Zhong, and said: "General Lin's martial arts are really not bad, do you also want to know why Zai Xia left that note in Runzhou?" ”

After the voice was finished, Lin Renzhao didn't see where the person was at all, Lin Renzhao relied on his martial arts to be not weak, so he said coldly to the air: "Why didn't Your Excellency show up, why did you leave a note to remind Lin someone, is there any reason for this, if you don't show up and tell me again, don't blame me Lin for using force." ”

"You're so rude." In an instant, a black shadow fell to the ground, standing with his back to Lin Renzhao, and then saw the man turn around.

Lin Renzhao wanted to see the person's appearance clearly, but he saw that the man was covered with a black scarf, only revealing two shining eyes, and he didn't intend to show his true face, and at this time, the person immediately smiled faintly and said: "General Lin, don't come unharmed!" There was only one sentence in the air, and the man did not say much.

Lin Renzhao looked vigilant and said, "Who are you?" Why did you sneak into the Lin Mansion late at night, and what are the plans? ”

The black-clothed masked man smiled, his face looked very calm in the moonlight, and he didn't panic at all, he immediately took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to Lin Renzhao.

Lin Renzhao saw that it was a letter, the last time it was a note, and this time he didn't know what would be written in this letter, he took the letter, and the cover of the letter did not leave the person's information at all. Tearing up the letter, Lin Renzhao shook off the paper and looked at it.

In the moonlight, the more Lin Renzhao looked at what was written on the paper, the more frightened he felt, and the man in black also saw that his face was even more pale and powerless because of the reflection of the moonlight.

Lin Renzhao couldn't believe his eyes, some time ago, after hearing the news that the lord Li Yu was burned to death, he didn't get a drop of water for several days, and then Jinling ordered the civil and military officials from all over the country to mourn now, so he hurried to the palace to mourn.

Everything in the letter is true or false, but this handwriting Lin Renzhao is very familiar, and he thinks that this is the words of the lord Li Yu.

Lin Renzhao muttered: The lord of the country is not dead, and now he has arrived in Yangzhou safely, but all this is too unbelievable, no wonder in Runzhou, this person gave himself a note, reminding himself to stay away from Li Congqing, Huangfu Jixun and others, it turned out to have this meaning.

But why did the lord of the country go to Yangzhou instead of other places, because he knew that Yangzhou was located in the Song Kingdom, that is, out of the Tang realm, Lin Renzhao still had a layer of worry, he didn't know whether the person in front of him was sent by the lord of the country or the Song people, which Lin Renzhao had to think about more.

The man in black knew Lin Renzhao's thoughts, so he asked, "Is General Lin suspicious?" ”

Lin Renzhao's eyes kept rolling around in his sockets, and he immediately said, "Do you think I will be easily fooled?" How could the lord of the country get to Yangzhou, you must know that Yangzhou is not in my Tang Dynasty, how can the lord of the country be confused, and let go to Yangzhou without waiting for the good Tang Kingdom? ”

General Lin's words were wrong, the situation was urgent, and the lord of the country couldn't even believe the people closest to him, so he had to go to a foreign country, wanting to borrow the big tree of the Great Song Dynasty official family to enjoy the shade. If General Lin doesn't believe it, he will leave in the next place, and he hasn't met you tonight, and if the lord of the country is reinstated, I am afraid that the first person to kill will be General Lin. ”

Lin Renzhao gasped, what the man in black said was not false, but he secretly speculated in his heart, and he didn't know whether it was good to believe it or not.

The man in black saw his face suspicious, and he must have been thinking about it in his heart, so he pretended to smile and took out an object from his cuff instead.

After the object was taken out, the mellow jade zee flashed under the moonlight, and this thing was actually a jade pendant, which seemed to be a royal thing from the color, and there were some dragon patterns engraved on the jade pendant.

"What is this?" Lin Renzhao's eyes were wide at this time, he didn't dare to believe all this, he had seen this jade pendant before, so he naturally knew who used it, "This is the jade pendant of the lord of the country, how can it be here with you?" ”

The man in black pointed at Lin Renzhao and said: "The letter from the lord of the country has been given to you, and this jade pendant is also explained to me by the lord of the country, saying that General Lin is afraid that he will not believe the letter, so he has to let me hold this jade pendant to make you feel at ease." After speaking, he handed Lin Renzhao the jade pendant.

Lin Renzhaozai looked at it carefully, and suddenly said: "Since it is the personal token of the lord of the country, Lin will listen to the orders of the lord of the country." ”

The man in black smiled and said nothing, and then bowed his hand goodbye: "The situation in Jinling City is already in chaos, I am afraid that it is inconvenient for me to stay here, this letter and the jade pendant will be handed over to you, and the restoration of the lord of the country in the coming day will all depend on General Lin." ”

After a few words, Lin Renzhao's heart was heavy for a while, he felt that his mission was important and had to be treated carefully, he lowered his head and put the letter and the jade pendant in his sleeve, and then looked up again, but the man in black had already disappeared.

Lin Renzhao sighed, turned around and went to the room to rest.

And after the man in black left the Lin Mansion, he disappeared on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
