Chapter 160: Ignorance of Loyalty
"How did the general know about the secrets of my Lin family?"
Lin Anhe's face turned stern, and he stared at Chen Wu with a terrifying look. In the letter sent back by Lin Anluo last time, it was mentioned that Chen Wu knew about the five princes and Lin Yunshuang's maidservants, which already made him vigilant. Now Chen Wu actually even said the Lin family's underground secret room accurately, which had to make him suspicious.
There is also a deep jealousy!
The secret room of the Lin family has always been known only to the core of the Lin family, and the clansmen and dead people who handle it will also be closely monitored. Where did the leader of a thief army get the news?
It is a matter of his own secrets, and if he does not find out the source of the leak, Lin Anhe really can't feel at ease.
"Ben will just say it casually, why should the head of the family be so solemn."
Chen Wu casually turned the teacup in his hand, making it clear that he didn't want to say it.
After taking a deep look at him, Lin Anhe gave the surrounding maids and some of the Lin family juniors present a look. When they retreated to the pavilion for the time being, Lin Anhe spoke: "A hundred sets of heavy armor, Lin gave it!" There is only one request, please sue sΓΉ me, who sued you for this news! β
He suspected that there was something wrong with the Lin family itself, and it was bought or rebelled by people who didn't know which big force it was.
"Master Lin, are you sure you want to know?" Chen Wu's tone was a little playful, and he said, "Although it's not that I can't sue you, this answer may not be the one you imagined." β
"Know it anyway!"
Lin Anhe did not hesitate to express his attitude, for which he did not hesitate to pay some more price.
"Five hundred horses and mules that can pull carts!"
The other party sent it to the door, but Chen Wu was not polite, and made his own offer, which was to take advantage of the other party's urgency to slaughter again.
Mules and horses are not war horses.
Taiping County itself does not produce horses, so war horses are very scarce. The mules and horses that pull the goods are different. Wu'an, as a county town with a population of 300,000, has this thing. Lin Anhe didn't even think about it, nodded and said, "Send the general to the barracks in three days!" β
"Okay."
Chen Wu put down the teacup and said to the head of the Lin family, who was waiting with bated breath: "This news is reported to me by the head of the black-clothed guard of the Kingdom of Oman, the Qinghu Hutong. β
"It's him!?"
Before Chen Wu spoke, Lin Anhe thought about many possibilities.
For example, it was revealed by insiders of the Lin family. Or is it the news of the secret investigation by the Emperor's ** Intelligence Bureau, and then it is the other gate valves who have a tense relationship with the Lin family...... I didn't expect that Chen Wu would pull out the feudal kingdom in the southeast of the empire!
The name of Qinghu Hutongguang, the Lin family had heard of it, but they didn't expect him to come to the empire in person.
After a short period of surprise, Lin Anhe quickly thought of it, and said to Chen Wu in shock: "The force behind you is actually the Kingdom of Oman!" β
No wonder Chen Wu raised his troops so quickly, no wonder he was able to get so many trebuchets. No wonder there are hundreds of sets of hard crossbows!
This qiΔ is unreasonable, and there is an answer in an instant. But immediately after, Lin Anhe's attitude towards Chen Wu became a little more hostile. The Qianyuan Empire inherited the orthodoxy of the previous dynasty, going back two thousand years, and has always been the sole suzerainty of the Eastern Continent. The southern barbarians like the Kingdom of Oman have slowly developed by relying on the Bajie Empire, and they dare to be disobedient when they have become strong and prosperous over the years. The rebellion of the homeless people in their own house is the internal affairs of the empire. If you collude with other vassal states, the nature will be completely different.
Although the Eight Great Gates have never been in harmony with the Empire. However, it also recognizes orthodoxy and will never allow anyone to collude with foreigners to cause rebellion.
Historically, none of the forces that dared to do so came to a good end.
"Obviously, you misunderstood, Lord of the Family!"
Seeing the change in the Lin family's expressions, Chen Wu waved his hand and clarified: "Qinghu probably thinks that my Taiping Army can use it. So he came to Longshan in person, trying to use the general to make the empire even weaker in the infighting. However, he consciously hid it well, but he didn't know that he had already been recognized by Ben Jiang. A large number of horses were sent to attack overnight and killed them on the spot. The bolts were taken from him. β
"Qinghu Hutong light is dead?"
This news is even more exciting than the previous one.
Almost all of the Lin family members were moved.
The empire has been confronting the Kingdom of Oman for many years in the South Peak Fortress in Tiannan County, and has a lot of knowledge about the Black Guard, the intelligence agency of the Kingdom of Oman. Qinghu Hutong Light, that is a character who can steadily rank in the top five. The Empire's military intelligence bureau had plotted to attack him twice, but in the end it was unsuccessful, and several people were almost involved.
Such a cunning old fox was actually killed by Chen Wu?
Anyone who knows a little about Hutongguang is a little skeptical about the news that Chen Wu revealed. However, it seems that there is no need for the other party to lie to them.
If this is the case, the forces behind Chen Wu are even more mysterious.
Even the light of Qinghu Hutong can be figured out!
Moreover, the Taiping County where their Lin family was located was the hinterland of the empire, and although it was not far from Songjiang County and Tiannan County in the east, it was separated by the Bayan Mountains running north-south in the middle, and there was no communication between the two sides for three hundred years. If Hutong Guang wants to come to Taiping County, he must go around a large circle and cross several counties. In this case, why did he collect intelligence on the Lin family so much?
It doesn't make sense!
Lin Anhe thought about it and quickly understood Chen Wu's true intentions.
Qinghu Hutong is dead, and the dead can't speak, and what's even more wonderful is that he is still a hostile leader of foreign intelligence forces!
Chen Wu insisted that it was the information given by Hutong Guang, and Lin Anhe couldn't do anything about him, after all, there was no proof of death!
In the end, he didn't find anything, and gave the other party 500 mules and horses for nothing?
Thinking about Chen Wu's calculations, Lin Anhe couldn't help but smile bitterly. Can he, the head of the Lin family, know that he is suffering and has no choice, the young man in front of him ......
I haven't experienced this feeling in many years, right?
"The future is terrifying, Lin admires!"
The last word, he came from the bottom of his heart. Shaking his head, he poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all, and his face was a little more gloomy and old.
Lin Yunwen, who was sitting next to him, woke up in a panic, his father was already past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven!
At this moment, the people in the pavilion heard faint footsteps. Soon, another group of people walked towards Langya Pavilion.
The maids on either side respectfully lifted the beaded curtains and let them into the pavilion.
Those who are qualified to enter here are all rich and noble people in Wu'an. Chen Wu glanced over and found that he had seen almost all of them in "Empire". Shangguan's family, Zhang's family, and Governor Qian Boming and one of his personal entourage. When he greeted them at the middle gate of the Lin Mansion before, he didn't see them, and Chen Wu thought that these people didn't dare to come out. Unexpectedly, after half of the wine here, these people finally couldn't help it.
"This is the Tiangong General of the Taiping Army? I've heard this name a lot lately, and today is the first time I've seen it! β
Among these people here, Qian Boming should be regarded as the one who hates Chen Wu the most. However, at this moment, under the protection of the Lin family, Qian Boming did not live up to his governor's self-cultivation, and he was able to hold back and not speak angrily, but took the initiative to greet Chen Wu in an easy-going manner. At first glance, the relationship between the two does not look like sworn enemies, but more like an ordinary chance encounter.
"Governor Qian is well!"
Chen Wu replied politely, but he didn't give this person too much face, and sat there without getting up.
This big posture made Qian Boming's face a little stiff, but he was helpless. His personal entourage was not so good, or he hated Chen Wu as a thief in his heart, snorted coldly, stepped forward to speak for his master, and said: "A mere anti-thief is so presumptuous in front of Governor Dare. β
Saying this, he also glanced at everyone in the Lin family, intentionally or unintentionally.
Eight big valves, I thought it was amazing. As a result, at this time, didn't he still hold a thief to the top of Langya Pavilion and treat him like an uncle?
What about the face of your family?
How to do it is one thing, but being pointed out in person made the Lin family very unhappy. You are a governor who is personally with you, and you used to act according to the color of the Lin family in Wu'an, but now that Wu'an is broken, you still want to take refuge in our Lin family, and you dare to put on such a style!
At this time, Chen Wu's words made them secretly feel happy in their hearts.
He said to the entourage, "Governor, what a great authority! I just don't know, it's late at night, why don't you stay in the Governor's Palace, but appear here? β
The entourage was immediately speechless.
The Governor's Mansion was occupied by Chen Wu, and of course Qian Boming couldn't go back. No matter how much he hates it, in the face of the de facto victor, he can only snort coldly like a defeated dog and avoid talking about it. Probably unable to swallow this breath, he turned his head and glanced at it, and pointed the finger at Dian Yong, who was under Chen Wu, and sneered: "Could this person be the military general who fought against Lin Yunfeng before?" It's a pity that although people are brave, they don't know loyalty. There was a good horse in the void, but he knew that he rode it, but he did not offer it to the Lord. With such a character, he was blind to that martial arts! β
I don't know loyalty!
In just four words, it is used to attack others, but the lethality is very great.
Dian Yong's face immediately changed.
After all, it was in front of everyone in the Lin Mansion, he hesitated for a second, got up and was about to ask Chen Wu for his guilt, but he didn't want to be directly held down by Chen Wu, and said magnanimously: "The green horse was given by your master before he died, how can he take away the beauty of people." What's more, you and I are determined to raise an army to help the world, if you don't even have this bit of open-mindedness, what kind of righteous army will you command? What kind of face is there to set an example for the soldiers? β
"General!"
Chen Wu's words, as well as the trust and tolerance, made Dian Yong greatly moved, and he couldn't help but bow his head.
failed to provoke success, which disappointed Qian Boming's personal entourage. At this time, his subordinates crossed twice in a row, and Qian Boming couldn't pretend not to see it, and was about to scold his entourage. But before he could speak, he saw Chen Wu standing up after receiving a bow from Dian Yong, and forced forward with a sword in his right hand.
I don't know why, Qian Boming immediately felt uneasy in his heart.
"General Chen, you!"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Wu bypassed the table and took three steps in front of his entourage, accompanied by the bright sword light, and the long sword at his waist was unsheathed. (To be continued.) )
