Lin Yuan waved his hand lightly, motioned for everyone to put down their guns, and then said to Xiao Dezhang: "He asked me to sit down in front of the emperor, but now that I have seen the emperor's holy decree, you want me to kneel, is the emperor's order more important than the emperor?" Could it be that you have a higher status than the emperor! ”

Lin Yuan's words made Xiao Dezhang dizzy, and he didn't understand it too well, but he knew that Lin Yuan's strength was much stronger than him! Xiao Dezhang doesn't look young, but he has a lot of experience in the environment of deceitful in the palace, coupled with his deep scheming and smart mind, he has long practiced the kung fu of seeing the wind and making the rudder, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he hurriedly changed his smile.

Xiao Dezhang said with a smile: "What Lord Lin said is very true, the villain is still young, so I hope Lin Shuai will not blame, we are all for the saint." Then Xiao Dezhang turned his face and said to a few warriors with knives: "I actually got a gun at Lin Shuai's dancing knife!" Don't kneel down to apologize to Lin Shuai! ”

Of course, Lin Yuan knew Xiao Dezhang's tricks, he waved his hand and said, "No need, you all go down, I still have military affairs with me, I'll go back." ”

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he picked up the holy decree and walked out of the door, he thought that Xiao Dezhang was already afraid of himself at this time, but he didn't expect him to say behind him: "Lin Shuai, the villain has one more thing to ask for, I hope Lin Shuai will agree." ”

Lin Yuan turned around and asked, "If you have something, just say it." ”

Xiao Dezhang said: "This time, I came to the order of the Queen Mother Lafayette, to visit the soldiers in the barracks, and I also hope that Lin Shuai will arrange it for our group." ”

When Liu Yufeng on the side heard this, he couldn't help but think: "Lin Shuai has confessed that they are not allowed to go to the barracks, but now that Xiao Dezhang has personally proposed it, I don't know how Lin Shuai will refuse." ”

What Liu Yufeng didn't expect was that Lin Yuan laughed happily when he heard Xiao Dezhang's words, and said: "It's rare that the Queen Mother still thinks about us, I agreed to this matter, I will arrange it for you, now the time is too tight, I'm afraid it's too late, so this afternoon, I will personally lead you to the barracks." ”

Xiaode Zhang thanked again and again, but thought in his heart: "Look at me in the barracks to find evidence of your disobedience, and then go back and report it to the Queen Mother Lafayette, and let out a bad breath." ”

Lin Yuan turned around and came out, Liu Yufeng hurriedly followed, and asked, "Lin Shuai, didn't you let them go to the barracks?" Why do you have to lead them yourself? ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "If we don't let them go, but I'm unreasonable, so we should let them go!" After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he walked out of the house, returned to his room, opened the holy decree and looked at it, only to see that it was written: Lin Yuan, the governor of the three eastern provinces, will be appointed as the assistant prime minister, and will have full authority to handle the affairs of the prime minister and the affairs of various countries.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This is giving me the position of prime minister, but what is this for?" Lin Yuan thought about it for a long time, and then he realized that he must have beaten the best of the best, and the Western powers couldn't stand it, and they wanted to know where they were fighting, but they couldn't come to the battlefield to find themselves, so they went to the Prime Minister's Yamen, and the people in the Prime Minister's Yamen must have been annoyed by them, so they went to the fold and recommended this position to me.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "With this position, it will be more convenient to fight with foreigners in the future." Lin Yuan called Chen Fei and others again, deployed various things, and soon in the afternoon, Lin Yuan took Liu Yufeng and more than a dozen other guards to find Xiao Dezhang.

Xiao Dezhang had already prepared, and when he saw Lin Yuan, he was full of smiles, and Lin Yuan didn't say much, so he got up with Xiao Dezhang and a group of entourages and went to the barracks.

Xiao Dezhang sat in the sedan chair, thinking about how to find fault with Lin Yuan, but at this moment, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and Xiao Dezhang hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Why do you stop? ”

Lin Yuan rode his horse to the front and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Zhang, please get off the sedan chair, the road ahead is really impossible to walk." ”

Xiao Dezhang got off the sedan chair and looked, sure enough, there was no road in front of him, the place that should have been the road was now full of large and small pits, the sedan chair driver was really difficult to walk, Xiao Dezhang had no choice but to get out of the sedan chair and asked Lin Yuan: "What's going on?" How did the road become like this? ”

Lin Yuan was covered with a layer of worry on his face, and said: "This is also a matter of no way, you also know that although the Russians fled, they also left us a lot of trouble, just like this road, when the Russians fled, the remaining explosives were unwilling to take away, so they detonated on the road and caused us sabotage." ”

Xiao Dezhang nodded when he heard this, didn't say much, had to come down and walk with Lin Yuan, at this moment, Xiao Dezhang felt a "whoosh" above his head, as if something flew over, and then he heard a gunshot in the distance, and Xiao Dezhang realized that it was a bullet flying over!

Xiao Dezhang has never been on the battlefield, let alone seen a bullet! Now, the bullet he saw for the first time almost hit his head, which frightened his legs weak, "plopped" and fell to the ground, reached out to touch his head, and after touching it, he put it on his hand and looked at it, and found that there was no blood and brains, so he was relieved.

Lin Yuan asked in surprise, "Father-in-law Zhang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Dezhang said in a trembling voice: "Yes...... Yes...... There are bullets! ”

Lin Yuanha smiled and said, "Where are the bullets, Gonggong Zhang, you are too careful." ”

Xiao Dezhang hurriedly took off his hat, only to see that there was a big hole in the middle of the hat, Xiao Dezhang pointed to the big hole and said: "This place was originally inlaid with a high-quality South China Sea tortoiseshell, but now it is gone." ”

Lin Yuan's face was solemn, and he hurriedly pulled him to the ground, and said to everyone: "Hurry up and lie down, it must be the gunners of the Russians, they have accurate marksmanship, kill people when they see them, quickly hide!" A few words frightened everyone, and they quickly fell to the ground.

Liu Yufeng climbed to Lin Yuan's edge and said, "Lin Shuai, let the last general lead more than a dozen brothers to go and find out this ** gunman!" ”

Lin Yuan glared at him fiercely and said, "What kind of hero are you, honestly lie on your stomach and don't move." ”

Lin Yuan said to Xiao Dezhang: "Are we still going to the barracks?" I don't know how many ** people will there be on this road? ”

Xiao Dezhang said: "Then let your subordinates go and search, and when the gunman of the ** son is found, we will go to the barracks." ”

Lin Yuan then said to Liu Yufeng: "Okay, you guys will go and find out the **!" ”

Liu Yufeng raised his head and glanced at the terrain, there was only a pagoda two hundred meters away for people to hide, Liu Yufeng hurriedly led people forward, they cautiously approached the tower door, suddenly the door opened, and a familiar face was revealed inside, that person was Chen Fei!

Liu Yufeng hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said, "Senior Commander Chen, we suspect that there is a sniper hiding ** in here, don't you see it?" ”

Chen Fei smiled: "How can there be any sniper, I am the only sniper!" ”

Liu Yufeng agreed twice, and then led the people away, it turned out that the bullet that passed through Xiao Dezhang's hat was shot by Chen Fei, these were Lin Yuan's plans, Lin Yuan was deliberately scaring Xiao Dezhang and making him dare not go to the barracks. How could Liu Yufeng have thought of this?

Liu Yufeng searched for a while, and then came back to report: "The gunman who didn't find the ** son must have fled." ”
