Section 56 The Lin Family
readx;
Yanji met with Landers again the next day, and after expressing the gratitude of the Great Shang Empire to the Robben Empire, he handed him a document, the main content of which was that the fortress of Flame City that had occupied the Robben Empire before was officially returned, and the Mobei Plain between Baibang, Anbei and Flame City would become the public territory of the Great Shang Empire and the Robben Empire, and at the same time, 300 million gold coins were allocated to the Robben Empire for the war reparations paid by the Simon Republic.

In fact, due to its remote geographical location, the Flame City Fortress requires a lot of manpower and material resources for each supply, which has long become a problem for Yang Ji, and Huang Fei's unauthorized decision is actually catering to his wishes, otherwise, Huang Fei will not be enough to cut off no matter how many heads he has.
Robben King Troandi Joroa, who had lost tens of thousands of soldiers and failed to recapture the fortress of Flame City, became the biggest winner of the Battle of Western Shangluo.
It is said that when Troandi Choroa learned that Landes had sent troops into the territory of Dashang without permission, he was furious and cursed and swore to wait for Landers to come back and punish him severely, but when General Randers ceded Dashang to the fortress of Flame City and gave him 300 million gold in war compensation, Troandy immediately slapped the hand that slapped Landes in the face and gently patted him on the shoulder, his eyes were full of love.
On the shore of the sea, the famous craftsman stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, and for more than ten years, he had already developed the habit of coming here.
Listening to the soft chirping of the sea god bird, letting the sea breeze blow through his body, breathing the slightly salty air on the edge of the cliff, and watching the wind and clouds change in the distance, only at this time, his heart will have a trace of peace, only at this moment, he is no longer the god of war who everyone admires in Robben's empire, just an ordinary person called a famous craftsman.
His ears twitched slightly, his eyes slowly withdrew from the distance, and he returned to his previous clarity, and stood with his sleeves brushed.
"Celebrity"
It was Landes, who bowed his head in respect to the master.
A smile appeared on the craftsman's face as he turned around, "General Landers, you're back." β
"Yes, Celestial Commander" Landers nodded and said no more, he understood that the man in front of him didn't like to listen to too much nonsense.
The famous craftsman glanced at Landers, "Landers, don't be too restrained in front of Ben Shuai, you are a very talented general of the younger generation of the Empire, and Ben Shuai admires you very much." β
Landers had a dumbfounded expression, it seemed that the master craftsman was not yet forty years old, but since the master craftsman said it, he had to nod his head along with it.
"The fact that you are standing here today unharmed means that you must have won the battle with Simon. β
"Yes, Ming Shuai, the last general just caught up with the main force of the army of the Great Shang Empire and the main force of the army of the Simon Republic for a decisive battle in the Shang Capital. β
"Well, this should be the best ending, General Landers, there is something I want to ask you. β
Landes glanced up at the master craftsman, only to see that the master craftsman was staring at him, blurting out "What's the matter?"
"With Ben Shuai's understanding of you, your character is cautious, and when the battlefield situation is unclear, you will never do anything to easily capture the fortress of Flame City and unite with the Great Shang Empire, it's not your idea......," the master said and stopped here.
The master craftsman knew Landes's character well.
"Famous marshal, that's the case, the last general thinks that our Robben Empire is small and lonely, if Simon is allowed to annex the Great Shang, even if there are short-term benefits, it will still put us Robben in a very disadvantageous situation in the end, and the Great Shang attack Simon is the same, let the Great Shang Empire become bigger, it is also a threat to our Robben Empire. Landes' face turned red after speaking, these words were all used by Huang Fei to persuade him before, Landers is very proficient in things on the battlefield, but he is too far behind Huang Fei when it comes to things outside the battlefield.
The famous craftsman's face was slightly surprised, "General Landers, you really think so, it seems that you already know that the outcome of a war is often determined by factors other than the battlefield, and victory on the battlefield is just to fill in an extra bargaining chip for yourself at the negotiating table." β
"Yes, Commander, the last general will follow the teachings. β
"By the way, how is Bodhi?" asked the master casually, looking absent-minded.
Landers replied cautiously, "Famous marshal, Bodhi has become a confidant of the third prince Yang Yi, five years ago the famous marshal placed Bodhi next to Yang Yi, who did not have any power, I still don't understand, and now the last general has found out that this is really a good chess, if Bodhi was by Yang Yi's side three years ago, I don't think our army would have lost that year." β
Mingshuai smiled, "Landers, this is the difference between you and Ben Shuai, you look at the present and I look at the future, a few years ago, although Yang Yi fell out of favor on the surface, but in fact it was Yang Ji's protection of him, among the four princes of Dashang, Yang Yu was too masculine, Yang Peng was too weak, Yang Tian was too young and weak, only the third prince Yang Yi's temperament was similar to Yang Ji's back then, on the surface it looked gentle and sunny, but in fact he was ruthless and decisive, and his temperament was hidden deeply. β
"The famous marshal is right, Yang Yi was sent to Xuantie City three years ago, in these three years, Yang Yu, the great prince of Shangdu, and Yang Pengming, the second prince, fought in secret, and their power was completely leaked out, but Yang Yi developed very well in Xuantie City, not only defeated the Black Sand Thieves who were in the limelight at that time, but also created an army composed of a very domineering bow and arrow called Xuantie crossbow, the strength should not be underestimated, and they don't know how to contact the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, and now Xuantie City is in the limelight, and among them, there is a person named Huang Fei who has played a great roleγ β
"Huang Fei?" the master muttered a few times, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking about something.
"Yes, the famous marshal, it's very strange to talk about Huang Fei, he seems to have appeared out of thin air, the last general sent someone to investigate him in Parry City, Derex Province, and he was indeed a person, and he was not originally called Huang Fei, his real name was Snello, and he was renamed Huang Fei between signing up for the Parry Military Academy, and entered the first squadron of the first squadron of the first brigade of the city defense army as a team leader with excellent results in sand table deduction, with the rank of centurion, three years ago it was he who designed and hid a large amount of grain and grass, so that our army was defeated, and this is not his most terrible, when he first arrived in Xuantie City, he started with the owner of Huangji Wine Shop, and gradually began to develop the economy of Xuantie City, not only subdued the dwarvesAt the same time, it also created the first Xuantie army composed of all archers, and in only three years, it built Xuantie City from scratch into a city comparable to any imperial capital in the imperial continent......"
Landers told the master what he knew, but he hid the part where he chased and killed Huang Fei, after all, the famous man is not a soul chaser.
"Oh, could it be that Yang Yi has risen so fast, there is still such a person, Snello, a very peculiar name. The master craftsman was amazed.
Landers sneered, "Yes, this is also from the people around Huang Fei, but don't worry, the last general has plans for Huang Fei." β
Inside the commercial capital
The autumn wind is bleak, rolling the withered yellow fallen leaves swirling on the street, occasionally pedestrians hurriedly walk by, the street, everywhere is draped in white cloth kneeling beside the fire to pay tribute to the scene of relatives, at this time Huang Fei and the third prince Yang Yi with a group of guards from a distance.
It was getting late and the temperature was getting cold, and the third prince Yang Yi tied the top button on his neckline, and then put his hands to his mouth and sighed.
"Lord Huang, let's go quickly, the weather is a little cold. β
Huang Fei nodded and quickened his pace, this time he and Yang were invited to attend the celebration banquet in the palace, at which the roster of heroes of the Western Shang Luo Society would be announced.
Red lanterns are hung on the streets, which are said to ward off evil spirits and disasters, especially when so many people have died in the war this year.
The third prince Yang Yi and others walked on a more prosperous street in the commercial capital, and the lights were brighter than other places, but when they passed by a mansion, they found that this mansion did not have a lamp, and there was a seal on the door of the mansion, Huang Fei was more curious, and it happened that there was an old man next to him who was staggering, so he grabbed the old man, "This old man, may I ask why this house does not have a lamp, and a seal is pasted." β
The old man who was pulled was surprised and forgot about the group of tiger-wolf-like guards behind Huang Fei, and then glanced at the mansion again, "This family used to be a traitor to the big business, Lin He's family, everyone is dead.
Lin Bing, as the commander of the Iron Shield Fortress, has a heavy army and a noble status, but once betrayed the country for the sake of fame and glory, and finally ended up ruined, Huang Fei sighed and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a wisp of smoke slowly drifting into the sky above the Lin He Mansion, which was difficult to find in the night.
Huang Fei couldn't help frowning.
There are people in the Lin Mansion who are paying respects!
All the people in the Lin family have been beheaded by Merlin on the city wall for public display, and Lin He disappeared after this battle, could it be said that this person is?
Huang Fei grabbed Yang Yi and said calmly, "Your Highness, there are people in Linhe Mansion. β
Hearing Huang Fei's words, Yang Yi was taken aback, he glanced at the mansion, and there was nothing abnormal when the sticker was well sealed, so he deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "How do you know?"
"If you look closely, there is smoke in the Lin Mansion, and there should be people worshipping in the Mansion. Following the direction of Huang Fei's finger, Yang Yi finally saw the faint gray smoke.
"Someone, a few of you guard the front door, a few of you guard the back door, a few of you are ambushed in the corner of the wall over there, Lord Huang, you take people to the front door, and I will take people to the back door. The third prince Yang Yi's face was a little unsightly, Marshal Wotaihe, one of the four famous generals of Dashang, was indirectly killed in the hands of Lin He, a traitor, as soon as he thought of General Wotaihe, who was deeply trapped in the enemy formation and still fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the 100,000 soldiers of the Iron Blood Legion at that time, Yang Yi's heart was dripping blood, and the anger hidden in his heart came out again, this Lin Bing's sin was too deep.
The seal of the original Lin Bing's mansion was still pasted there, but Huang Fei saw that it was abnormal, the seal had already been removed, and it would tremble slightly when the wind blew, and there was a layer of faint footprints on the ground, Huang Fei made a gesture towards the two guards in front of the door, the two guards nodded knowingly, and suddenly used force together, and the two kicked open the door.
In the courtyard, a girl in white who was originally squatting by the fire immediately stood up in panic when she saw the visitor, and the laying paper in her hand was scattered all over the ground.
It wasn't Lin Bing.
Huang Fei pushed away the two guards, only to see that the girl in front of him still had tears on her face, her eyes were slightly red, and she had obviously just cried, "Who are you from the Lin family, why did you come here to pay respects?" Huang Fei had a burst of doubt.
"Folk girl Lin Xiu'er, father," the girl paused, and then plucked up the courage to say loudly, "Father, the former commander of the Iron Shield Fortress, and the former Viscount of the Empire, Lin Bing." β
"Merlin didn't ...... you" Huang Fei looked at Lin Xiu'er who looked like a city in front of him, and swallowed the killing word when it came to his mouth.
Lin Xiu'er's face was full of playful self-deprecation, "Lord Mei killed me, the Lin family was full of people, and finally let me go, should I hate him, or should I be grateful to Lord Mei for not killing." β
Huang Fei didn't expect Lin Xiu to say this, his face froze for a moment and returned to normal, "Miss Lin Xiu'er, too many people have died in this war, how many women have lost their men, how many mothers have lost their sons, how many children have lost their fathers......?
Lin Xiu glanced at Huang Fei, "My lord, the folk girl is just a weak woman, she doesn't care about the affairs of the world, the folk girl only knows that her father is guilty, so she ended up like this, the folk girl doesn't blame anyone, I don't know if the adult came to arrest the folk girl?"
Huang Fei shook his head, "Occasionally passing by here, I saw smoke rising from the house, so I came over to take a look." β
Lin Xiu smiled sadly, "Presumably adults think it must be my father who is treason against the country." β
Huang Fei nodded, noncommittal.
Lin Bing hesitantly glanced at the several tiger-wolf-like guards behind Huang Fei, "My lord, can the folk girl leave?"
Huang Fei turned sideways, put his hands behind his back, and several guards also put back their waist knives when they saw this, and flashed aside with Huang Fei.
"Lord Xie, forgive the people for their retirement. Lin Xiu'er bent her knees slightly, put her hands in front of her lower abdomen, bowed to Huang Fei with her chin, and then walked gently towards the door.
Looking at Lin Xiu's lonely figure when he left, Huang Fei wanted to open his mouth but didn't speak, he suddenly thought of a poem that was very suitable for the current situation.
Fish Shen Yan stepped on the end of the world,
I believe that the world is separated from suffering,
After the desolation of farewell, the two should be the same,
Invincible and resentful in the moonlight.
At this time, there was a noise in the backyard, and the third prince Yang Yi ran out with the guards, and saw Huang Fei and several guards roasting around the fire, and hurriedly asked.
"Lord Huang, what about people?"
"Gone"
Yang Yi was a little annoyed, "Lord Huang, you actually let him go?"
"It was Lin He's daughter just now, Lin Xiu'er. Huang Fei shrugged his shoulders.
Yang Yi grimaced, "Even if you are Lin He's daughter, you should wait for me to come, how can you call the shots without permission, who is in charge now?"
Huang Fei looked at the third prince Yang Yi with some surprise, and Yang Yi in front of him looked a little strange.
"Forget it, let's go. Yang Yi waved his hand.
