"Shi'an is here." Lin Peng saw Zhao Chen who stopped at the corner of the corridor and greeted him from afar.

Zhao Chen collected his thoughts, limped out, and saluted with a smile before turning to the fierce generals who got up.

"Generals are exempt, Shi'an is a junior today!" She smiled and said, taking a seat with Penny.

Those fierce generals were already a little perfunctory, and when they saw her so casual, they immediately sat back and continued to chat, but most of them still looked at her secretly.

The orphan of the old warrior king...

Some people disdain, some regret it, and some people look away when they don't see it for a moment-

Zhao Chen seemed to be unconscious, listening to the conversation in his ear, his mind fell on Gao Lian in the corner.

Gao Lian was about forty-five or six years old, and the first commander to follow in the army in his early years was the old bandit Lin Xuanchao.

Later, he joined the Changming Army, and in the Battle of Chu and Wei, he served as the commander of Suzhou... Until Lin Xuanchao began to hand over military power, Gao Lian also came under the command of Prince Zhuang-

The coldness of the border pass that year overflowed from his memory, and it also made Zhao Chen's eyes frosty.

A fire in the Suzhou camp burned away the clothes, quilts, grain and grass that were most needed on the front line, frozen bones in the depths of winter, and covered their bodies with single clothes, and people could not wake up every morning...

She lowered her eyes and took a sip of wine, and the coldness on her body gradually subsided.

The wine banquet was hearty, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

The men in the army are so hearty and rude, it is rare to get together, and it is more like they are not drunk and do not return, even Lin Xuanchao, who is depressed, is driven by them to laugh and drink again and again.

Zhao Chen has been waiting quietly, chatting with Lin Peng from time to time, until-

"Father-in-law, Seventeen said he wanted to take me to see the Tiger Garden in the house... I'd better go find her sooner. She finished speaking softly, and without waiting for Penny's answer, she quietly got up and exited the courtyard.

………

Walking all the way to the garden, Zhao Chen used the excuse of sending the servants who led the way, dodged into the shadows, and quietly touched the guest house.

Drunken generals were placed here, including - Gao Lian.

Silently, she avoided the servants and maidservants along the road, but pricked up her ears to listen, and patiently walked around several times before she found a place where Gao Lian could rest and sober up.

In the corner of the guest house, Zhao Chen knocked out the servant guarding the door and hid him in the dark, while he went around to the half-open back window and carefully peeked inside.

Gao Lian was half drunk and half awake, leaning on the wooden couch, his eyes slightly closed, and there was no one to serve him.

Zhao Chen waited for a while before he spoke softly: "Didn't you not let you enter Beijing?" ”

She tried her best to imitate the unfamiliar voice, but it still sounded a little strange and vague.

Just when she was a little apprehensive—

Gao Lian opened his eyes and sat up, his whole person seemed to tense instantly, and the drunkenness disappeared cleanly.

After a long time, he looked at the back window, approached step by step, and suddenly stopped three feet apart.

"Lin Shuai disarmed, he had to come, and when the banquet dispersed, he said goodbye and left Beijing." His voice was deep and deep, and he closed the window after speaking, without the slightest intention of meeting.

On the side of the window, Zhao Chenliang did not move for a long time.

Sure enough, someone stopped Gao Lian, and Gao Lian suddenly entered Beijing this time, and he didn't tell that person.

After the banquet is over, he will leave Beijing, and in this case-

The slightest sound in front of the room reached her ears, and she hurriedly ducked around and looked behind the side pillars.

On the side corridor not far away, a man covered his face with armor, and with one hand on the hilt of a knife, he sneakily touched the side window of the cheap room, and felt the smoke and was about to do it.

Zhao Chen was thinking, but his eyes suddenly narrowed.

There was a muffled knock, and the man was knocked unconscious, and another person, who was also wearing armor and covering his face, quickly dragged the man away, without concealing the slightest hint of movement.

The next moment, the door opened, and Gao Lian walked out with a look of surprise in his eyes, and half of his saber was drawn.

Silence had returned to the surroundings, as if nothing had happened.

But Gao Lian did not relax, and after standing still for a moment, he strode towards the courtyard where the guests gathered.

Which one is this...

Zhao Chen thought quickly.

Someone came to kill Gao Lian, and someone came to help, and deliberately alarmed-

After a moment, she suppressed her thoughts, flashed to follow Gao Lian, who had already gone away, and returned to the courtyard of the banquet again.

——

"His Royal Highness the King of Yu is really a good amount of wine!" Someone laughed and said.

Zhao Chen paused, glanced at the courtyard from afar, and saw that King Yu was sitting in the banquet, and-

"The juniors and Hanqing came uninvited, but I want to ask the king of Zhongshan not to be surprised!" King Yu said, raising his glass.

Zhao Hanqing, who was dressed in moon-white clothes, also raised his glass, with bright eyebrows and eyes smiling slightly, looking extremely charming and moving.

Lin Xuanchao laughed a few times, shook his head blindly, and drank the wine in the bowl.

Zhao Chen turned his gaze away and looked at Gao Lian.

At this time, the suspicion in his eyes not only did not dissipate, but also seemed to be a little more, and he was secretly sweeping the guests in the courtyard.

It's like you're looking for someone.

Zhao Chen thought about it, but still didn't show up, but stood quietly in the shadows and watched.

After a while, Gao Lian suddenly stood up, took the wine jar handed by the attendant, and knelt down on one knee in front of Lin Xuanchao.

"Lin Shuai, the last general should have stayed with you more, but first, there is something at home, and secondly, there is chaos in Liaodong, so the last general should rush back as soon as possible... I hope you will forgive me, and I will respect you! ”

Gao Lian said, raised his head and drank the small jar of wine, and saluted respectfully.

Lin Xuanchao stared at him with some displeasure and scolded: "That's a little bit of interest! Banditry? Lao Tzu is their ancestor! Lao Tzu didn't break the sky, what kind of momentum can those little cubs become? ”

"Go back and tell Qu Laojiu, make trouble, if you make trouble again, Lao Tzu will go to his nest!" He drank too much, and as he spoke, he poured another sip of wine, and slammed the jar.

Liaodong is where Lin Xuanchao was recruited, and a few decades ago, he was the biggest bandit there.

Gao Lian hurriedly echoed and said some good words.

"That's it! Don't hold Lao Tzu here, go back when it's time to go, you can come this time, Lao Tzu appreciates it in my heart! Lin Xuanchao patted him on the shoulder.

"When the second child was still alive, you had the best relationship, and Lao Tzu also took you as a son! Fight hard and make meritorious contributions, Lao Tzu is waiting for you to get ahead! Lin Xuanchao's eyes were a little red.

Hearing the second child of the Lin family, Gao Lian's expression darkened, and he kowtowed.

"Lin Shuai, take care, the last general is gone!" As he spoke, he knocked again, and then got up and strode out.

Zhao Chen hurriedly retreated into the darkness again, and waited for him to walk for a while before quietly following.

If you want to kill a cheap person, you won't just give up -

At the gate of the mansion, the cheap lieutenant general and his own soldiers ushered in, each leading their horses and preparing to go.

Gao Lian was in front of the mansion, looked up at the plaque, and was drunk, and something inexplicable sank in his eyes.

After a long time, he forcibly suppressed the strength of the wine, took the reins from the hands of the lieutenant, turned over on the horse, and raised the whip.

A group of more than ten rode from the front of Lin's house.

Zhao Chen quickly found Yingchun who was waiting outside, and was about to let him follow-

There was a sudden commotion at the end of the long street, and Gao Lian in the center was under Zhao Chen's gaze, and he immediately planted himself.
