Chapter 708: Heading to Chengguan

The next morning, Lin Xuanzhong didn't wake up until the guards outside knocked on the door, and Lin Xuanzhong woke up suddenly. With a heavy sleepiness and struggled to get up from the bed, Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly sat cross-legged on the bed to regulate his internal breathing, so that his state could recover to the best situation as soon as possible.

It's a pity that the recovery of energy is not through simple conditioning of internal breathing, and after a quarter of an hour, Lin Xuanzhong still has a feeling of exhaustion. Time was urgent, and he was afraid that the delay would cause Zhang Daring to be dissatisfied, so Lin Xuanzhong had no choice but to wash his face with cold water, and then hurried to the camp position.

With the help of the buffer when walking, Lin Xuanzhong's spirit was obviously much better when he arrived at the riding camp, and only his face was a little haggard.

"General Lin, you're here," when Lin Xuanzhong was led directly from outside the cavalry camp to the General's Hall by Zhang Daring's guards, Zhang Daring in the hall greeted him as soon as possible.

"Please forgive the general for delaying some time," In the case of his own mental exhaustion, Lin Xuanzhong noticed that Zhang Daring's majesty had not changed at all. After a period of nervousness, perhaps because of the recent frequent contact, Lin Xuanzhong was surprised to find that he seemed to be able to adapt to Zhang Daring's momentum, and after looking at Zhang Daring twice, he was not as nervous as he imagined.

"General Lin has worked hard day and night, and the general doesn't mind waiting for General Lin for some more time," after a brief glance at Lin Xuanzhong, Zhang Daring could see that Lin Xuanzhong was not in good spirits. Thinking that Lin Xuanzhong has been under no less pressure than himself recently, Zhang Daring doesn't want to say some words of blame.

"The general passed on the last general early in the morning, but in order to decide to infiltrate the coalition forces as soon as possible?" Seeing that Zhang Daring did not blame himself for being late, Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly answered.

"I see that the weather has changed today, without further ado, it is better for them to set off early," nodded, Zhang Daring looked at Lin Xuanzhong again and said, "I don't know what General Lin is thinking?"

"General Zhang's method is very good, set the time on the night of our attack, and believe that those people have a higher chance of accomplishing anything. ”

"I don't know if General Lin ever thought that if there was an accident on the night of the medicine delivery, what would happen if they couldn't get the medicine?" Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong had no objection to the suggestion he made last night, Zhang boldly nodded and then moved on to the next question.

If that is the case, the only way to do it is for them to see the opportunity. ”

"That's it," Zhang Daring nodded in agreement, if those people can't carry out the task, all they can do is act on the opportunity. Since letting those people go is only a means of protection, Zhang Daring has no objection in this regard.

"I have selected nine people to come out, and tonight I will send them directly to the four southern cities with winged birds. Once there, they will learn about the local customs and habits on their own according to the plan, and then wait for the opportunity to join the team, and there will only be a two-day journey from those cities to the coalition camp at most, and they will have enough time to create their new identities, so the matter of infiltrating the coalition camp will not be bothered by General Lao Lin after today, and will be done in person, and General Lin will be informed of the situation in time. ”

"Then there is General Lao Zhang," Zhang Dakang's long words made Lin Xuanzhong realize that Zhang Daring was fully prepared, and today's meeting was just to determine the time for action, in this case, he just had to hand over the matter to Zhang Daring to be responsible.

"General Lin, this matter is the responsibility of this general, you don't have to be polite to me. Since Ben will do his best to assist you on the orders of the marshal, he naturally does not want to make any mistakes. ”

"The last general understands," nodded, and Lin Xuanzhong asked out of curiosity, "I don't know if there is Fang Quyin's nephew Fang Qing among the nine?"

"Fang Qing is indeed among those nine people, this is what General Fang meant. General Lin, I know that Fang Qing is your friend, but don't be disturbed by this, our war with the coalition forces involves the life and death of tens of millions of people, you can't care too much about the safety of one person, this is also what Fang Qing meant, "I talked to Fang Qing alone earlier, and now Zhang Daring directly explained the matter to Lin Xuanzhong.

"The last general understood, "In fact, Lin Xuanzhong thought that there would be Fang Qing among the people who were going to carry out the task last night, since he had already thought about going with the flow before that, now that Zhang Daring said this, Lin Xuanzhong naturally didn't want to think too much about this matter."

"It's good if you understand, if it's okay, General Lin will go and get busy with you first," Zhang Daring had some understanding of the relationship between Lin Xuanzhong and Fang Qing, and knew better that infiltrating the coalition camp was likely to cost Fang Qing his life, but this time was indeed an opportunity to hone Fang Qing. If Fang Qing imagined that Lin Xuanzhong would get ahead like this in the future, then this kind of training would be even more essential, so it would be best to go with the flow.

"The last general will retire," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong slowly retreated from the main hall, and returned to his residence in the blink of an eye. As soon as he arrived at the gate, the guards outside the gate told Lin Xuanzhong Yan Nantian to let him meet him at the city tower. I didn't know what Yan Nantian was looking for him, and he didn't think much about it, he didn't even eat breakfast, Lin Xuanzhong immediately turned around and hurried towards the location of Chengguan.

All the way pay attention to the weather, if it is usual, at this moment the morning sun has crossed the mountain, but today the sky is a little gloomy, and there is a gray atmosphere everywhere. When he arrived at the school ground, the soldiers of the third battalion were training separately, and instead of observing those soldiers, Lin Xuanzhong's attention was first attracted by the scene on the city tower.

The walls on both sides were full of moving figures, the clanging of iron, and smoke and dust in many places. Getting closer, Lin Xuanzhong even found out what the people above were busy with.

When he walked to the bottom of the city tower, before Lin Xuanzhong could ask where Yan Nantian was, the person specially arranged by Yan Nantian had already noticed Lin Xuanzhong's arrival, and was about to lead Lin Xuanzhong to Yan Nantian's location.

When he arrived at the city, Lin Xuanzhong was surprised by the scene in front of him, the original materials for defending the city seemed to have been removed, and now there were coal, furnaces and all kinds of broken weapons everywhere.

"General Lin don't be surprised, we are building fortifications, and when the general and General Yan meet, they will naturally understand," the officer who was in charge of guiding Lin Xuanzhong saw Lin Xuanzhong's face full of surprise, and at first glance, it was the first time he had been to the city tower recently, so he immediately explained to Lin Xuanzhong.

"Fortifications," silently recited Lin Xuanzhong faintly remembered something, which seemed to be related to what the person next to him said, but he couldn't fully remember it, so he could only continue to look at it while walking.

The temperature on the city wall was vastly different from that under the city, making people not feel the slightest cold, and the blacksmiths beside the furnace were even bare-chested and kept pounding the iron pieces, allowing Lin Xuanzhong to see the production process of the iron chain with his own eyes. There are also people next to the furnace who specially pull the bellows to control the heat, and constantly throw broken weapons into the furnace, and look at it, those people are trying to melt the scrap metal.

The castle tower was full of smoke and dust, and the scorching temperature and choking smoke gradually made Lin Xuanzhong feel uncomfortable. On the other side, those craftsmen were busy one by one, as if they were tired, and they didn't pay attention to Lin Xuanzhong who walked over at all.

Under the leadership of that officer, after going all the way forward for a while, Lin Xuanzhong finally saw Yan Nantian and some of the generals next to him.

"General Lin, you're here," At the same time, Yan Nantian and those generals also noticed Lin Xuanzhong's arrival. Seeing Lin Xuanzhong's puzzled look, Yan Nantian greeted Lin Xuanzhong with a smile.

"See General Lin," Immediately after, the other generals next to Yan Nantian saluted Lin Xuanzhong one after another.

"See General Yan," when accepting the respect of those generals, Lin Xuanzhong also saluted Yan Nantian, and then took a good look at the generals next to Yan Nantian. Except for Zhu Zizai among them, the other generals are all very faceless, and they don't seem to be the generals of the infantry battalion. And what Lin Xuanzhong cared about was that there was an old man dressed in ordinary clothes next to Yan Nantian and the others, and at first glance, Lin Xuanzhong felt that the old man was not from the night army.

"General Lin, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Remembering that the person sent to find Lin Xuanzhong said that Lin Xuanzhong would go to meet Zhang Daring early in the morning, at this moment, out of his understanding of Lin Xuanzhong, it was not difficult for Yan Nantian to guess that Lin Xuanzhong must have just come back from Zhang Daring's side, and then rushed here directly.

"No," I wanted to ask Yan Nantian why he knew that he hadn't eaten breakfast, but he felt redundant when he thought about it, so Lin Xuanzhong simply chose not to ask.

"In this case, the general will make a long story short, it was the marshal who asked you to come over today and asked me to take you to know some of the recent situation in the army, and you can walk around the city with me," smiled and nodded, Yan Nantian turned to look at the generals behind him and said, "You all go and get busy." ”

"Yes," Zhu Zizi waited for the generals to agree, and then turned to leave.

"This is the person in charge of helping us build the fortifications, 'Master Luo'," as soon as those generals left, Yan Nantian turned to look at the plainly dressed old man and introduced Lin Xuanzhong: "Master Luo is the most prestigious refining master in Fancheng, and he has decades of experience in refining, and now he is the helper that City Lord Ruan specially invited for us. ”

"I've seen Master Luo," Yan Nantian said with respect in his tone when introducing Master Luo, so when the old man looked at Lin Xuanzhong with a gentle gaze, Lin Xuanzhong immediately saluted Master Luo as a junior.

"General Lin is polite," Master Luo looked Lin Xuanzhong up and down as if he was looking at a piece of refining material, and then added with appreciation, "General Lin is young and promising, and he admires him for his old age. ”

Although Master Luo's gaze was gentle, there was a light in it that was difficult to look at, and just that glance made Lin Xuanzhong feel that his bottom line was completely seen through by the other party.

"Master Luo has won the award," he replied with a reluctant smile, and in addition to being surprised, Lin Xuanzhong still chose to take out a general posture, and his face slowly became calm.
