Volume III Chapter 729

During this time, Liuhe was very lively, and the battle reports in front of them were transmitted back every moment like a marquee.

On this day, Lin Haotian was sitting in the mansion drinking tea, and suddenly Shao Lin came to report, saying that a businessman asked to see him and offered a team of jade ruyi.

Lin Haotian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Who are the people here?"

"Oh......" Shao Lin thought for a while and muttered: "Since they are willing to give such a valuable gift, they must have something important to ask for, but their subordinates can't understand what else a caravan needs to use such a precious treasure." ”

"Since you can't guess, let's ask them in person. Lin Haotian raised his head and said to a guard beside him, "Please come in!"

"Yes, sir!" replied the guard, then turned and walked out quickly.

After a short time, the guards brought in a group of merchants from outside, almost a dozen of them, all of them were not gorgeously dressed, but they were also different from ordinary people, the merchant looked like he was in his early forties, dignified in appearance, and graceful, his face was as white as jade, and he was half a foot of black hair, and he did not look like a businessman, but more like a scholar.

Lin Haotian looked him up and down, and then raised the Ruyi in his hand and asked bluntly, "This is your gift to Ben Shuai?"

"Exactly!" said the white-faced middle-aged man with a smile.

"What's your name?" Lin Haotian asked curiously.

"Lord Hui, the villain's surname is Wei Mingshu, he is from Zhaoyang, and this time he came all the way to Liuhe, just to introduce one person to General Lin. ”

Don't look at the current situation of Yan Guo is on the verge of collapse, and this Yan man Wei Shu is neither humble nor arrogant when he speaks in front of Lin Haotian, and his attitude is calm. There was no fear in the slightest.

Lin Haotian was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Who did you introduce to Ben Shuai?"

Wei Shu didn't speak, and suddenly a voice came from the crowd behind him: "Me!"

Hearing the words, Lin Haotian's body was shocked, and two rays of light shot out of the tiger's eyes.

What a familiar voice! His gaze crossed over to Wei Shu and looked behind him.

In the crowd behind Wei Shu. Slowly walked out of a person. The man was dressed in a black cloak, black from head to toe, and most of her face was covered, and her petite figure could only be seen by the outline.

After she walked out of the crowd, she stood still in front of Lin Haotian, and then pulled the cloak on her head back, revealing her true face.

Seeing this person's appearance clearly, Shao Lin, Tong Lei and Luo Lan who were present were all stunned. couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and they couldn't help but wonder if their eyes were not wrong, because for them, the person in front of them should not appear in the Jin Kingdom, let alone in the General's Mansion in Liuhe.

Although Lin Haotian was not as surprised as Shao Lin, Tong Lei, and Luo Lan on the surface, he was also full of astonishment, and he couldn't understand what medicine this girl had taken wrong, so she suddenly ran to her palace.

The one who came out of the caravan was a woman. But she is not an ordinary woman, but Yin Xiang, who has just ascended to the throne of Yan for less than a year.

The two countries are at war. The soldiers in front of you fought to the death, but Yin Xiang, who was the king of Yan, actually ran to the Jin Kingdom, and entered the palace in a grand manner, standing in front of Lin Haotian, how could this not be shocking and surprising?

Lin Haotian looked at Yin Xiang with straight eyes, not understanding what kind of nerves she was making.

Shao Lin, Tong Lei and Luo Lan subconsciously raised their hands. Touching the saber under his ribs, they believed that Yin Xiang could not come to death for no reason, and if she didn't get it, she would have come to assassinate.

For a moment, the lobby was so silent that people could even hear their own heartbeats.

"Boom, boom!"

It didn't take long. Outside the lobby, there was a sudden sound of dull footsteps, a large number of guards from all directions, surrounding the whole house, if you look at the outside at this time, you can see that the courtyard has been full of golden troops, one by one arrows are wound, knives out of the sheath, as if facing a great enemy.

They didn't know that it was Yanwang Yinxiang who was coming, but the guards at the door saw Shao Lin and Tonglei's secret warning gestures, and immediately transmitted the news.

Thousands of guards surrounded the lobby, and a large number of guards were constantly rushing to this side, it can be said that no matter what the purpose of Yin Xiang's trip was, now, she and her men were already unable to fly.

Yin Xiang smiled all over her face, calmly, she slowly threw off the cloak outside, revealing the gorgeous pink dress inside, and then, with her hands behind her back, she looked back at the outside as if she was fine, and then looked at Lin Haotian's gaze and said with a smile: "The soldiers under General Lin's command are really well-trained, and they came so quickly!"

Lin Haotian still closed his lips tightly and looked at Yin Xiang without saying a word.

Yin Xiang chuckled, walked towards Lin Haotian, and said at the same time: "I haven't seen you for many days, how did General Lin become so rusty." ”

Before she could walk in front of Lin Haotian, Shao Lin and Tong Lei, who were on the left and right, both scolded, and then, the two of them drew their swords and rushed to Yin Xiang's approach, and the blades of the two swords pointed at Yin Xiang's chest.

Yin Xiang was not surprised, his face did not change, he didn't even look at Shao Lin and Tong Lei, he just looked at Lin Haotian with a smile, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Of course, Lin Haotian could feel the disdain in Yin Xiang's eyes, he frowned slightly, and said to Shao Lin and Tong Lei in a deep voice: "Presumptuous, retreat!"

"Your Excellency?"

"I said stand down!"

Shao Lin and Tong Lei both lowered their heads, withdrew their drawn swords into their sheaths, then glanced at each other and slowly retreated to the side.

Lin Haotian's originally expressionless handsome face finally changed, revealing a blank expression, and asked, "Okay, what are you doing here?" This was the first thing he said to Yin Xiang.

His words and tone were less like he was facing the monarch of a hostile country, but more like he was facing an old friend.

"I'm almost cornered by General Lin, so how can I talk about it. While Yin Xiang was speaking, he turned around and waved his hand to Wei Shu and the others, and said, "There's nothing to do with you here, let's go out first!"

"Yes, my lord!" Wei Shu and the others were also obedient. There was really no one left, and they all exited the lobby, but as soon as they went out, they were pressed to the ground by the guards of the Jin Kingdom who were crowded outside the door, and a circle of ropes was also put on them.

Yin Xiang didn't look back at the chaos outside, as if she didn't care about the lives of these subordinates.

I saw that she sent all her men out. Lin Haotian understood that Yin Xiang must have had a secret matter to discuss with him before, he turned his eyes to Shao Lin, Tonglei and Luo Lan beside him, and said, "You guys also go out first." ”

"My lord, this ......" Roland still wanted to speak, Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows dissatisfied, Yin Xiang was just a woman, and she was also a woman who didn't know martial arts, she dared to stay in front of her alone. Isn't he as good as her?

Seeing Lin Haotian's displeased face, Roland didn't dare to say more, and walked out of the lobby with Shao Lin and Tonglei, and before they went out, Lin Haotian also signaled them to close the door.

After the three of them went out, only Lin Haotian and Yin Xiang were left in the huge lobby.

Without outsiders present, Lin Haotian also looked much more relaxed, and he stood up. With his hands behind his back, he walked in front of Yin Xiang in square steps. Then he circled around her, and circled around her, and at the same time looked up and down as if he didn't know her.

Lin Haotian's actions amused Yin Xiang too, and she asked, "What's the matter, don't you know me?"

"Not really, just curious. ”

"Curious about what?"

"What are you doing in my country!"

"Are you interrogating? This doesn't seem to be hospitality, is it?"

"Then you may sit down first, do you want tea?"

"Yes, of course, is the best. ”

The speed of the conversation between the two of them was extremely fast, and one of them had not yet finished speaking. The other person had already started to answer.

Lin Haotian nodded, really walked back to his desk, picked up the teapot, walked to Yin Xiang, and poured a cup of tea for her.

Yin Xiang is not polite. Picking up the teacup, taking two sips slowly, and putting down the teacup, she suddenly said, "I'm here this time to ask for surrender." ”

Lin Haotian was stunned at first, then relieved, and nodded in understanding.

Yan Guo has now been forced to a dead end, Yan Guo's central army has suffered too much battle losses to support it, even if Yan Guo has a large national base and can recruit a large number of recruits, but throwing these recruits who have not undergone any training on the battlefield will only increase casualties in vain, and it will not help in the war.

He naturally showed a smug look on his face, and said: "You are quite smart, you took the initiative to come to me to ask for surrender when you were one step away from the destruction of the country, which gave each other a step down, and also reduced the casualties of the soldiers on both sides......"

Before he could finish speaking, Yin Xiang interrupted: "I think General Lin has misunderstood, the object of my surrender is not General Lin, but King Jin, I came to Liuhe this time to return the fief of Yan Kingdom to King Jin." ”

Her words made Lin Haotian frown, Yin Xiang wanted to return the hot land to Zhao Yu? This is too unexpected, what the hell is Yin Xiang's idea?

Seeing Lin Haotian's surprised and puzzled look, the smile on Yin Xiang's face became even stronger, and he said: "In the future, Yandi will be the direct subordinate land of King Jin, and Yanren will be the direct subject of King Jin, King Jin will have his own army, his own taxes, and his own grain reserves, and he will no longer have to be controlled by others, of course, General Lin's army must also evacuate Yandi, otherwise, it will be disrespectful to King Jin, and there is a suspicion of committing the following crimes and openly rebelling and killing the lord to seize the throne!"

"You dare!" Lin Haotian finally understood Yin Xiang's intentions, anyway, the Yan Kingdom was going to perish, she would rather give the Yan Land to King Jin than keep it for herself and Youren, this woman was really hateful.

"General Lin thinks, what else is there that I dare not do now?" Seeing Lin Haotian furious, his eyes spewing fire, Yin Xiang felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Haotian grabbed Yin Xiang's wrist and lifted her up from the sitting, and then he approached Yin Xiang and said through gritted teeth: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now?"

"It's useless, even if General Lin kills me now, he can't stop the envoys of the Yan Kingdom from handing over the fief to King Jin. Feeling that his wrists were about to be scratched by Lin Haotian, Yin Xiang endured the pain, remained silent, and said softly with a smile: "What's more, after killing me, the matter spread, and General Lin couldn't explain it to King Jin, nor to the people of the world." At that time, General Lin's reputation will be discredited, and I don't know when General Lin's wish to dominate the world will be realized, haha-"

Lin Haotian felt that the roots of his teeth were itching now, and he really wanted to bite Yin Xiang, but. He also admired Yin Xiang's courage and cunning in his heart, even if Yan Guo couldn't get better, she wouldn't let herself feel better.

Seeing that Yin Xiang was smiling on her face, but a layer of sweat mist appeared on her forehead, Lin Haotian realized that he was holding her wrist too hard, he slowly let go of his hand, and saw that Yin Xiang's wrist was left with a dark red scratch, and he felt a little sorry in his heart.

His eyes rolled, his mind rolled. Leng snorted and said, "You can't threaten me with this, even if you return the flame land to the Golden King, I still have a way to make it mine!"

"Of course!" Yin Xiang nodded affirmatively, rubbing his wrist and said, "Of course General Lin has that ability, but it will be quite a bit of a trick for General Lin, and General Lin will have to continue to swallow his anger in front of King Jin for several more years. General Lin's road to the Golden King may also be much longer than expected. ”

Lin Haotian sighed secretly, shook his head and said, "I have no intention of usurping the throne!"

"Haha-" Yin Xiang seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. Shaking his head, he said: "I am about to become the king of the dead country, why should General Lin act in front of me?

Lin Haotian doesn't care much about what others think of him, Yin Xiang misunderstands, he misunderstands. There's no need to explain too much to her.

Lin Haotian changed his words and asked curiously, "When are you going to meet King Jin?"

"Tomorrow. Yin Xiang said without thinking: "Since I have come to Liuhe, I think I should always meet General Lin first." ”

Lin Haotian smiled lightly and said, "Why didn't you say hello in advance, but came here so secretly?"

Yin Xiang said quietly: "This time I came to Liuhe has not been announced. Many of the ministers of the court do not know about this, and I do not want them to know about it, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Lin Haotian nodded, stared at Yin Xiang for a while, and he couldn't help but ask again, "Do you really plan to return the Yandi to King Jin?"

"Otherwise, what can I do now?" Yin Xiang asked rhetorically.

“......”

Lin Haotian was silent, in fact, even in his opinion, he felt that Yin Xiang's decision was not wrong. According to the current situation in Yanguo, taking the initiative to surrender is the best choice, of course, this requires great courage and great pressure, Yin Xiang, a little woman, can make such a decision, it is not easy!

Seeing that he was silent, Yin Xiang smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about me, now, what you should worry about is yourself, when I have met King Jin and handed over the fief of the Yan Kingdom, the war between Jin and Yan will naturally end, but the You people may not listen to your command, and they will even take Zhaoyang directly." ”

When Lin Haotian heard this, the tiger's eyes suddenly narrowed, Yin Xiang was right, it is indeed a difficult problem for you.

The hatred of the Yan people is too deep, where they pass through the Yan land, there is almost no grass, they will kill the Yan people when they encounter them, and burn down the cities when they encounter them, and after the total annihilation of the 400,000 Yan army, the advance of the You army has no resistance, and it is really a momentum to advance Zhaoyang.

Lin Haotian thought for a while and said, "Even if you are a wild horse, I have a way to contain them. ”

Yin Xiang said quietly: "Then I hope that General Lin's speed can be faster, You Ren is now burning and looting everywhere unscrupulously in the Yan Land, from the beginning of the war to the present, I don't know how many innocent people have died tragically at the hands of You Ren, I think, King Jin will definitely not agree with what You Ren did in Yan Land." ”

Lin Haotian smiled indifferently and didn't say anything more about this matter, he changed his words and said, "Do you have a place to stay in Liuhe?"

Yin Xiang said ambiguously: "It seems that the people below have already chartered an inn. ”

"An inn is an inn after all, people come and go, that is, it is inconvenient and unsafe, you should live in my general's mansion for the time being." Lin Haotian said.

Yin Xiang squinted at Lin Haotian and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" General Lin is afraid that I will run away and will put me under house arrest?"

Lin Haotian pursed his lips disapprovingly, and said, "Could it be that in your heart, am I so despicable? Don't forget, if I hadn't secretly helped you, I'm afraid you would have died at the hands of assassins." ”

At the mention of this, Yin Xiang suddenly remembered that the mysterious man in black rescued him, and the other party made it very clear that he was sent by Lin Haotian, Yin Xiang looked at Lin Haotian with puzzlement, and asked, "Why did General Lin send someone to help me in secret?"

"If I say I don't want you to have an accident, do you believe it?" asked Lin Haotian with a grin.

"Hmph!" Yin Xiang scoffed.

Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said: "Compared with those brothers and sisters of yours, of course I am more familiar with you, the position of the Yan King is not to let an inscrutable stranger to sit, it is better to let a person who is more familiar with me to sit, at least, it is easier for me to judge what she is thinking in her heart and what she is going to do next." ”

Yin Xiang was stunned, then nodded suddenly and muttered, "So people say that you are cunning and cunning." ”

Lin Haotian heard this, but smiled silently.

Yin Xiang was tough-mouthed, but she did not refuse Lin Haotian's kindness, and she really stayed in Lin Haotian's general's mansion with peace of mind.

Lin Haotian's general's mansion has just been built, and it is not as luxurious and spacious as it is, but most of the furnishings inside and outside the house are new, and Yin Xiang lives quite comfortably.

On the second day, Lin Haotian quietly entered the palace with Yin Xiang and met Zhao Yu secretly.

Zhao Yu was startled when he learned that Yin Xiang, the monarch of Yan State, suddenly came to see him secretly, and then heard that Yin Xiang had come to return the fief of Yan Country to him, Zhao Yu was even more surprised, and even wondered if his ears had heard it wrong.

After he saw Yin Xiang, and then saw the jade seal of the Yan Kingdom and the seal of the Yan King sent by Yin Xiang, Zhao Yu's eyes straightened on the spot, his body stiffened, he was dumbfounded, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. (To be continued......)
