Led by Xing Lei, everyone returned to Yanying, and walked until they reached the princess's bed, Xing Lei stopped, raised the curtain sideways, bowed down and said, "Lin Gong, please inside." ”

Lin Haotian nodded slightly, and walked in directly, when Roland and the others were about to follow up, Xing Lei suddenly stretched out his arm, stopped everyone, and said expressionlessly: "The princess only invited Lin Gong alone, not to mention, there are still people in the rank who the princess doesn't want to see." As he spoke, his gaze deliberately glanced at Chang Feng.

No matter when, no matter where, a traitor is disgusting after all, although Chang Feng is not a hot person.

Chang Feng's eyes can't see, but his ears are not deaf, he knows that Xing Lei is alluding to himself, but he doesn't react, he only does what he wants to do, as for what people think and say, he doesn't care at all.

However, Roland does not have such good concentration as him, hearing Xing Lei's words, her eyes suddenly widened, she didn't care about that, and directly waved Xing Lei's arm open, trying to break inside.

Xing Lei's face immediately sank, stretched out his arm again, and said in a cold voice: "Miss Roland, don't make it difficult to do it!"

Roland wanted to make another move, but at this time, Lin Haotian turned around, waved his hand at her, and said indifferently: "Guest, you can stay here!"

As he spoke, he looked at Xing Lei again and said, "We are guests, not thieves, not assassins, and Mr. Xing doesn't have to be so vigilant!"

In front of Lin Haotian, Xing Lei didn't dare to be presumptuous, his old face turned red, he hurriedly lowered his arm, bowed to Lin Haotian again, and stood aside.

In addition to Yin Xiang, there were only two little maids waiting in the bedroom, and there were no other guards. I saw Lin Haotian come in. Yin Xiang smiled and bowed, and then waved to the maids on the left and right, and the two maids bowed, and then bowed and withdrew from the camp.

At this time, only Lin Haotian and Yin Xiang were left in the tent.

There was no one present, so it was much easier to talk. Yin Xiang greeted with a smile: "General Lin, please take a seat!" As she spoke, she got up herself and poured a cup of tea for Lin Haotian.

She suddenly became so polite, which made Lin Haotian feel quite uncomfortable, he took the teacup that Yin Xiang gave him, and asked with a smile: "This is to thank me for saving me?"

Yin Xiang smiled skillfully, returned to her seat and sat down slowly, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "General Lin thinks." Who is it that wants to kill this palace?"

Lin Haotian smiled slightly and said, "You should ask yourself this question, not me." ”

Yin Xiang rolled her eyes and said, "Originally, I suspected that the assassins were sent by your country, but General Lin didn't know it, but all the bows and arrows used by the assassins came from your country's Ordnance Department. ”

Lin Haotian still smiled calmly. said: "If the assassin is really from my kingdom, why should I come to save you?"

"So to speak. Now I don't think the Assassins are golden. Yin Xiang said thoughtfully: "It's not a golden person, who will it be?"

"Do you want to ask me to help you do the investigation!" Lin Haotian laughed secretly in his heart, as early as when he was in the county seat of Bianyang County, Yin Xiang had already judged that the assassin was deliberately pretending to be a Jinren, and now he was still pretending to be confused with himself.

"How dare this palace drive General Lau Lin, I just hope that General Lin can help this palace analyze it. Yin Xiang said with a smile. She supported her chin with her arm, sat lazily on her side, and said slowly, "This palace also wants to hear General Lin's opinion. ”

"Actually, it's not hard to know who is directing the Assassins! In your country, there should be only a handful of people who can afford to raise and train so many Assassins, and at the same time have the ability to make some of the princess's honor guards work for him, which shows that this person is not only rich, but also extremely powerful. ”

Yin Xiang inhaled, narrowed her eyes in surprise, and asked, "What does General Lin mean is that there are assassins around me?"

Lin Haotian snorted and said: "It is a taboo for soldiers to camp in the forest; assigning the underworld warriors in the army to garrison outside the camp just gives the assassins a chance to kill; the assassins know the layout and internal layout of the camp well, and can accurately and directly kill your dormitory, are these all coincidences? I have never been a person who believes in coincidences. ”

Yin Xiang's face changed slightly, and now she didn't have time to carefully analyze the whole thing, but when she heard Lin Haotian say this, her heart suddenly moved, and she felt that his analysis was very reasonable, if there was no one around her who had an affair with the assassin, no matter how powerful the assassin was, it would not be possible to kill into the camp so easily, or even kill directly to her side. Moreover, as Lin Haotian said, this person who had an affair with the assassins must be a high authority in the honor guard, at least he has the ability to influence the camping and deployment of the whole army. Those who can do this, in addition to the main generals in the honor guard, are several lieutenant generals.

Thinking of this, Yin Xiang's face instantly became gloomy, and the fists placed under the table slowly clenched.

Seeing this, Lin Haotian continued: "His Royal Highness King Yan is very fond of you, the princess, and the honor guard given to you must have been carefully selected by King Yan, I believe very much in their loyalty to King Yan and Yan Guo, so the identity of those who can buy them or coerce them to do things must not be simple, at least, not under you." ”

Yin Xiang said in a condensed voice, "You mean, the person who presided over the assassin is likely to be one of my brothers and sisters?"

Lin Haotian smiled and said indifferently: "This is the only one that can be explained." ”

What he said actually coincided with what Yin Xiang was thinking in her heart, she had already guessed it as early as when she was in Dazhang, the county seat of Bianyang County, and now that she heard Lin Haotian say the same, she was sure in her heart. After pondering for a while, she muttered, "But who could it be?"

"It's up to you to ask yourself whose path you're getting into. "Lin Haotian is not afraid of big things, the more trouble there is in Yanguo, the more beneficial it will be to him.

Yin Xiang's eyes froze, and she was speechless for a long time.

Whose path did she stand in her way? She got in the way of those brothers and sisters who coveted the throne, and it can be said that all the princes and princesses who were interested in competing for the throne had the possibility of assassinating her, and there were not many powerful assassins who had so many private secrets and could let the generals in the honor guard do things for him.

Seeing her face change, Lin Haotian asked with a smile: "Presumably, you have already made up your mind about it!"

Yin Xiang came back to her senses. She took a deep breath, adjusted her thoughts, swept away the gloom on her face, smiled at Lin Haotian, leaned over and said, "Thank you General Lin for the analysis that Bengong did, Bengong is grateful." Tomorrow's trip to Lesha, the palace still relies on General Lin!"

Lin Haotian asked curiously, "Isn't the princess going to find out who is having an affair with the assassin and doesn't want to find out this person?"

Yin Xiang said with a smile: "What can I do if I find it out? That will only embarrass my father, this matter, this palace plans to forget it." ”

She said so on her lips, but she didn't think so in her heart, this matter can't be investigated openly at all, and if it is to be investigated, it must be secretly investigated. If the matter is big, it will not only startle the snake, but if it is not done well, it will also cause the disgust of the father, who thinks that he is killing his brothers and sisters.

Seeing Yin Xiang smiling and chanting as if he didn't care at all, Lin Haotian secretly said in his heart What a cunning woman, Yin Xiang's scheming seems to be much heavier than he imagined! He nodded, stood up, and said, "It's getting late. I can't stay long, you should rest early. ”

Seeing that Lin Haotian was leaving. Yin Xiang wanted to keep it, but after pondering for a while, she finally said: "General Lin's residence, the palace has been properly arranged, and it is next to the sleeping tent of the palace, the general won't mind, right?"

Lin Haotian was happy. Casually responded: "How could it be!" While speaking, he was about to go out, Yin Xiang suddenly remembered something, and said urgently: "By the way, General Lin has not said why he wants to save the palace!"

He blinked. said: "I think it will be interesting to meet you on the battlefield in the future, so I don't want you to die too much." ”

Yin Xiang pursed the corners of his lips and said: "General Lin didn't tell the truth, presumably the generals have guessed that the person who instructed the assassin may be the prince or princess of the Yan Kingdom, and they have also guessed that the palace will not give up on this matter, so save the palace so that the Yan country can be trapped in the internal fighting, is what the palace said wrong?"

Sure enough, there are so many women in Yin Ji who like her, it seems that there is a reason! Lin Haotian looked at Yin Xiang's scrutinizing gaze and said with an ambiguous smile: "If you have to understand it like this, of course you can do it." ”

Yin Xiang Zhengse said: "I think, out of your life-saving grace to me, I should also remind you, even if the Yan country is caught in the internal friction of the royal family, the military strength of the Yan country is still terrifying, even if your country pours the country's troops to attack, I am afraid, there is no return, this is not a threat, just my kind advice, in addition, I can also tell you one thing, the military strength of the Yan country is not only stronger than the central army, the local army and even the family army that the court is helpless against it is often terrible, and their combat power is not below the central army." "Maybe even much stronger!" she added to herself.

What she said was really not alarmist and bluffing.

The existence of the family army is the tradition of the Yan Kingdom, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and there are advantages and disadvantages, but for the Yan Kingdom, its disadvantages and harms far outweigh the actual benefits it brings.

It was not that the Yanguo court did not think about banning and reducing the family army, but the kings of all dynasties had failed to succeed, including Yin Ji. The Hong family army headed by the Marquis of Bloody Clothes is a typical example, like the Hong family army, which has become a big family army, is often linked to the interests of the nobility of a county or a county or even several counties, and it affects all of them at every turn, and even Yin Ji, the monarch, does not dare to touch it easily.

Of course, in peacetime, the family army is a big threat and hidden danger within the Yan country, and once a national war occurs, the family army is a terrible military force outside the establishment of the central army, if the family army and the central army are together, then just like Yin Xiang said, the combat power of the Yan country will become very powerful, at least not the current Jin army can match.

Lin Haotian listened carefully to Yin Xiang's words, his face was still smiling, he didn't say anything more, he walked out of the tent slowly with his hands behind his back and in all directions.

It can be seen that Yin Xiang's words are sincere, and now, Lin Haotian has a strong interest in the Yanguo family army, but he doesn't have much information now, and he can't talk about the situation of the Yanguo clan army. After returning to China, you must let Shao Lin investigate it carefully, perhaps, if you find an opportunity in the future, you can let the family army of Yan Guo be used by yourself.

He was silently calculating in his heart.

Yin Xiang arranged a tent for Lin Haotian and the others, and it was also very comfortably furnished, which could be regarded as taking good care of them.

After hearing the report, Lin Haotian took the initiative to find Yin Xiang and bid her farewell, and the latter was full of puzzlement. He asked, "Why don't you go into the city and rest for a day or two before leaving?"

Lin Haotian said with a smile: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave if I want to go after resting for a long time, so let's not live here!"

Yin Xiang understood what he meant, and Zhengse said, "Don't worry, I won't force your ......"

Lin Haotian shook his head and said: "It's been too long since I came out, I should have gone back a long time ago, and the princess doesn't have to keep me anymore." ”

Although he is an enemy. However, Yin Xiang also felt very strange, with him by her side, she would feel very secure, and now that she heard that he was going back to China, she still felt a little reluctant in her heart.

She was silent for a long time, and then asked faintly, "You...... Will you come back to Yanguo?"

Lin Haotian was happy, and asked rhetorically with another meaning: "Do you really want me to come?" When he came again, he would not only bring such a few people, but to command the thousands of troops of the Jin Kingdom.

Yin Xiang heard the meaning of his words. The reluctance on his face disappeared, and then he said arrogantly: "At that time, this palace will let you taste the taste of returning home." ”

"Haha!" Lin Haotian looked up and laughed, and said: "It's not known whether the fish dies or the net breaks, but when that day comes, we'll know." As he spoke, he turned his horse's head. He bowed his hand to Yin Xiang in the car and said, "Farewell!"

After speaking, he no longer waited for Yin Xiang to reply. Urging the horse to go, as soon as Lin Haotian left, Shao Lin, Tonglei, Luo Lan, and Chang Feng also rode their horses and galloped, following Lin Haotian.

Looking at the backs of their group of five horses leaving, the master of the honor guard came to Yin Xiang's carriage and asked puzzledly: "Princess." Who are they, and why does the princess treat them so well?"

Yin Xiang glanced at the Yan General, his expression instantly became indifferent, and said, "Ask what you should ask, don't talk too much if you don't know." ”

Yan will be reprimanded by her, and his face turns red. Can't say a word.

After Lin Haotian and the others left Yin Xiang's honor guard, they did not delay for a moment, and went directly back to the Jin country.

On the same day, a group of people drove more than 100 miles of road, marched out of Shengping County, and entered Bianyang County.

When they arrived at the boundary of Bianyang County, it was already midnight, the sky was dark, and the road was difficult to walk, so everyone decided to rest for the night and wait for dawn before hurrying.

When he came, Lin Haotian remembered that there was a small village nearby, and now he could borrow it for a night. Due to the relationship between the night eye, the darkness of the sky had little impact on Lin Haotian, and soon, Lin Haotian took Shao Lin and Tong Lei and others to find the village.

In the dead of night, the village was silent, and dogs could occasionally be heard barking. Lin Haotian found a family at the edge of the village, knocked on the door and woke up the owner inside, and explained his intention.

The owner was a pale white old man, who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, and walked tremblingly.

Originally, Lao Suo wanted to refuse them to stay, but when he saw that Lin Haotian and the others were wearing military uniforms, and they were the Central Army, he finally agreed, and very enthusiastically let Lin Haotian and the others into the hospital, and vacated two rooms for them.

Lin Haotian was very grateful for Lao Suo's hospitality, and specially asked Ah San for a silver ingot, handed it to Lao Suo, and said: "Old man, we will leave early tomorrow morning, and you can accept this piece of silver first." ”

Lao Su shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, no! How can this work!" For ordinary people like him, such a large piece of silver was enough for their family to live for several years.

He said while pushing forward: "All you have saved in the army is life money, so let's take it back!"

Unexpectedly, the old man would refuse, and while the old man was preparing a meal for them, Lin Haotian specially chatted with him for a while.

Through the conversation, he knew that Lao Suo had four under his knees, two of whom died in battle, one died in Youdi, one died in Huandi, and the other two sons were still in the army, and there were only him and a few daughters-in-law in the family, if they were not soldiers, he would not agree to stay overnight anyway.

After listening to Lao Suo's words, Lin Haotian couldn't help but ask: "The old man already has two sons who have sacrificed their lives for the country, and they have made enough contributions, why do they want to let the other two sons stay in the army? Could it be that the imperial court has failed to forcibly recruit soldiers here?"

Lao Su smiled, shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with the imperial court! Although there are no more children, but the imperial court has also exempted my family from taxes, and also given a lot of silver and land. ”

Lin Haotian was silent, Yin Ji was deeply loved by the people of Yandi since he came to power, he had heard of this before, and he didn't feel anything, but now when he was there, he could feel the horror of it.

If everyone in the Yandi is like Lao Suo, then the Yandi is impregnable and monolithic, and it will be difficult to capture no matter who leads the army to attack, and on the contrary, sooner or later, sooner or later, the Jin Kingdom will have to be swallowed by its Yan Country.

After listening to Lao Suo's words, Lin Haotian's mood suddenly became much heavier, and he didn't have the heart to continue chatting, and after a few more words, he returned to the room.

Seeing that his face was not good, Roland and the others didn't know what was going on, so they got up and asked, "Childe, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Lin Haotian sat down, tapped his forehead lightly, and said in a low voice: "I just suddenly feel that it seems impossible for my country to capture Yanguo in a short period of time." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and an idea popped up in their hearts, General Lin didn't say nonsense! (To be continued......
