Volume III, Chapter 684

Let's say that Lin Haotian and the others, who were observing at the corner of the street in the distance, saw Yin Xiang enter the county capital, they all shrank their heads, gathered together, and discussed in a low voice.

"Yin Xiang is safe and sound, presumably it won't take long for Dazhang City to lift martial law, and when the time comes, we will be able to leave the city. Shao Lin said in a low voice.

"Not necessarily!" Lin Haotian didn't see it that way, he said thoughtfully: "Assassinating the princess is not a trivial matter, even if it doesn't succeed and only kills a stand-in, this matter will not be good, and it must be investigated to the end." ”

Roland shook his head and smiled, and said: "The assassin is obviously prepared, after the assassination, it is estimated that he will run out of the city a long time ago, how can he still be trapped in the city?

Lin Haotian smiled and didn't say anything, his eyes rolled for a moment, he changed his words, and said, "We have to sneak into the county capital to find out what is going on and what the Yan army is going to do." ”

Shao Lin and Chang Feng shook their heads in unison, and the latter said: "The number of underworld martial arts masters around the princess has increased again, but I'm afraid that before we get close to the princess, we will be noticed by the other party first." ”

"So you have to dissipate the dark qi first, and then sneak into the county capital!" Lin Haotian had already considered this.

Hearing this, everyone gasped, and after dissipating the dark qi, they sneaked into the county capital, and then they didn't even have any protection for their own Yanquan, and once they were discovered, they had to sit and wait for death.

Luo Lan, Shao Lin and Tong Lei shook their heads again and again, and said in unison: "Adults, don't do it, this is too dangerous!"

"It's not as good as a tiger's den, and you can get a tiger!" Lin Haotian said with a smile: "Yin Xiang can think of using a stand-in, she must be aware of the assassin, I think, she should also know who the mastermind behind the assassin is, since we can't find the assassin." can only start from Yin Xiang's body. ”

"However, the county capital is heavily guarded, and we want to disperse the dark qi, so there is no possibility of approaching Yin Xiang at all!" Roland said urgently.

Lin Haotian's face was straight, he looked around at everyone, and said quietly: "You can't." But I can. "Even if there is no martial arts, Lin Haotian's own skills are extremely powerful, plus he has been reborn several times, and his own strength is far better than before.

Hearing that he meant to go on an adventure alone, people's faces changed.

Luo Lan subconsciously held Lin Haotian's palm, and said in a trembling voice: "How can adults go in by themselves......?" In case ......" At this point, she didn't say any more.

Lin Haotian smiled at Roland, patted her arm, and pulled his hand out. said: "On stealth, especially after dissipating the dark qi, none of you is better than me, if we go in together, the target is too big and easy to expose, just me, don't worry." It's okay, not to mention that you guys are out there to answer me. If something happens, I can get out!"

It's easy to listen to him, but how easy can it be when it comes to doing it?

Seeing that everyone was still full of hesitation and worry, Lin Haotian cheered up and said, "That's it." No need to persuade any more!" As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and said, "It is now nearly evening, and when it is nightfall, I will sneak into the county capital!"

No one answered. They looked at each other and were silent. They still think it's inappropriate to let Lin Haotian take risks alone, but they also understand Lin Haotian's temper, and basically no one can change what he has identified.

To make a long story short, when it was nightfall, Lin Haotian took off the armor on his body, only wearing the military uniform of the Yan Army, and then tightened the overly loose places slightly, feeling that it was properly organized, which nodded to Roland and the others, and said in a low voice: "I'm going in!"

Roland bit his lip and didn't speak, just stared at him, hoping that he would change his attention.

Shao Lin and Tong Lei said: "Adults should be more careful!"

Lin Haotian nodded, raised his head to them and said, "You also have to be careful outside, if you encounter a patrolling Yan army, you can avoid it, if you really can't avoid it, try not to speak." ”

"Yes!" everyone nodded in unison, indicating that they understood.

After explaining everything, Lin Haotian restrained his mind, first approached the root of the wall and quietly listened to the movement inside, and then grabbed two stones casually and jumped onto the courtyard wall.

Squatting on the courtyard wall, Lin Haotian didn't immediately climb in, but popped out a stone in his hand first. The stone fell on the ground in the courtyard, making a soft snapping sound, and after waiting for a while, the courtyard was still calm, and nothing unusual happened, Lin Haotian jumped into the courtyard.

Don't look at him dissipating the spirit qi, but his body is still so agile, jumping from the three-meter-high courtyard wall, it is like two taels of cotton falling to the ground, and the sound he makes is not as loud as the stone he threw before.

Entering the courtyard, Lin Haotian immediately squatted in the shadow under the base of the wall, his eyes squinted, flashing a faint green light, and carefully inspected the surroundings.

This is the side courtyard of the county capital, there is no one to live, it is very quiet, that is, you can't see the guards, and you can't see the people passing by, even if the stone lampstand on the side of the road is not lit, the whole courtyard looks black.

Lin Haotian silently calculated in his heart that at this time, the banquet of the county head to entertain Yin Xiang should almost end, if she did not rest, then it must be in the main hall of the county capital.

Thinking of this, he slowly stood up, first cautiously and slowly walked forward, did not find anything abnormal, and then increased his pace, and quickly moved towards the main hall of the county capital.

It is no longer so easy to continue stealth.

The stone lampstands on the side of the road have all been lit, and every few steps you can see soldiers standing guard, and there are many soldiers patrolling, one after another. Lin Haotian didn't dare to take the road in the county capital, so he could only cling to the root of the wall, with the help of grass and shadows, walking and stopping, sneaking slowly.

The improvement of cultivation is sometimes not necessarily a good thing, such as Lin Haotian now.

If his cultivation was only below the Primal Realm, there was no need to take the Scattered Immortal Pill at this time, and the little Immortal Pressure he exuded would not be noticed by others. But his cultivation at this time has reached the terrifying Hades God Realm, even if he deliberately reins in the pluto pressure he exudes, it will still make the nearby Pluto Warriors notice, and the only way is to take the Scattering Pluto Pill and completely dissipate the Pluto Qi in his body.

The distance from the side courtyard to the main hall is not too far, Lin Haotian walked for a while and stopped for a while. He could not pass through the slow, narrow, guarded intersections at all, so he could only climb to the roof next to him and sneak quietly over the room.

By the time Lin Haotian finally approached the main hall, half an hour had passed. He went around to the back of the main hall. Seeing that there was no one left and right, his body slowly lowered, and slowly took a deep breath, and then, the figure suddenly ejected, and jumped up more than three meters high, first grabbed the beam, and swung back and forth by inertia, and hooked his toes to the eaves. The waist and eyes were pushed up again, and the person was already standing on the house.

When he got up to the roof, he immediately crouched up, first looked around, but found no sign of his own, and crawled forward slowly.

He stopped as he approached the high point of the roof, then carefully pulled out a tile beneath him, revealing a gap. He squinted his eyes and looked down.

The hall was brightly lit and bright as day. Lin Haotian saw it clearly, and saw that it was Yin Xiang who was sitting in the center, and the guards sitting on both sides were basically her guards in civilian clothes, including Xing Lei and Qian Nan.

Among the crowd, only Zhou Cong, the head of the county, was wearing an official uniform, and at this time, he was laughing with Yin Xiang as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

It seems that the banquet has just been removed. Yin Xiang was sitting there, and the old god was on the ground, drinking tea and cleaning his mouth.

When Yin Xiang put down the teacup in his hand and let out a satisfied sigh, Zhou Cong finally found a chance to speak, he didn't smile and squeezed a smile, and asked, "Princess." The meal was made by the villain with a good chef in the county, but it was still to the taste of the princess. ”

"It's still a bit of a gap compared to the chefs in the palace, but it's not bad. Yin Xiang said softly and calmly, but then, she said in a gloomy face and gritted her teeth: "Don't think that you can pass the palace with just one meal, today's matter, the palace will not be just settled." ”

Zhou Cong, as the head of a county, is also a high-ranking official in the Yan Kingdom, he is 'lucky' to see this third princess a few times, and he has not heard her rumors, knowing that her temperament is transmuted, willful and rude, no one in her eyes, extremely difficult, this time he committed it to her hands, and he deserved to be unlucky. He didn't laugh hard, nodded again and again, and responded: "Yes, yes, yes, the villain deserves death, and the poor protection has frightened the princess, and the princess's stand-in has suffered miserably......"

"Where is Xiaoyu's body now?" Hearing him mention his stand-in, Yin Xiang remembered the 'unjust ghost' who was stabbed on his behalf.

"Xiaoyu?" Zhou Cong was stunned for a moment and reacted, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the princess, the villain has placed Miss Xiaoyu's body in the backyard of the county capital, and sent people to strictly guard and block the news, and now the officials and people in the city still think that the assassination is the princess herself!"

"En!" Yin Xiang was noncommittal about his approach, but responded lightly and said, "Xiaoyu is also pitiful, you are responsible for burying her." ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Cong responded: "Do you want to go and see ...... princess?"

Before he could finish speaking, Yin Xiang's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in a deep voice: "A dead ghost, what else do you want this palace to see? Do you want this palace to know how miserable it will be if you don't use a stand-in today?"

Zhou Cong's sweat was raining, he couldn't wait to slap himself twice, he had too many words in his mouth, he shook his head again and again, and said urgently: "No, no, no, the villain has no such intention, no such intention!"

"Hmph!" Yin Xiang sneered, glanced at him, and muttered, "You don't dare." ”

In that hierarchical era, as a princess above ten thousand people under one person, the people around her were just toys to her, how could she invest in true feelings, even if the maid died for her, of course, this has little to do with Yin Xiang's essence of good or bad, her character is created by that era and special identity background.

Seeing that Yin Xiang's face had softened a little, Zhou Cong said boldly: "Your Excellency, your subordinates have found out that today's assassination was the meticulous act of the Jin Kingdom to infiltrate our country!"

"Did Jin Ren do it?" Yin Xiang raised her eyebrows and stared at Zhou Cong.

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Cong replied as he wiped his sweat.

"Then the palace is going to ask you, Lord Zhou, how did you find out that this matter was done by the Jin people?" Yin Xiang asked with a smile raising her chin.

"The villain has evidence!" As he spoke, Zhou Cong owed Yin Xiang, then stood up, waved his hand to the door, and urged: "Take it, take it quickly!"

As he spoke, a middle-aged man dressed as a domestic servant held a tray in his hand. trotted to Zhou Cong's side and handed him the tray.

Zhou Cong took it and was about to send it to Yin Xiang's eyes, Xing Lei on the side had already stood up, took the tray first, and looked at it carefully. Then respectfully put it in front of Yin Xiang.

On the tray, two bloodstained steel arrows were placed.

Yin Xiang frowned and asked, "What is this?"

"This is the assassin shooting the ...... No, the two arrows that shot Miss Xiaoyu, princess, please see, the arrows are engraved with the words of the Ordnance Division, according to the villain's investigation, only the name of the Jin State Ordnance Department is there, which is the place where the Jin State specializes in research and production of special weapons. So ......"

"So, based on this, you will conclude that the assassin is a Jin man!" Yin Xiang grabbed a steel arrow, then stood up slowly, walked up to Zhou Cong, and said with a smile: "The Jin people came to assassinate the palace, for fear that others would not know that it was the Jin country, and deliberately left the exclusive arrows of the Jin country, are you stupid when the palace?!" The smile on her face swept away, and she raised the steel arrow in her hand. aimed at Zhou Cong's head and pulled it hard.

There was a crisp sound in the ear chakra, and the steel arrow was pumping on Zhou Cong's fat face, and the latter screamed in pain, and then fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowing like pouring garlic. Screamed: "The princess spares her life, the princess spares her lifeβ€”"

"Pig, even raising a pig is smarter than you!" Yin Xiang looked at Zhou Cong, who was oozing blood beads on his face, and was still puzzled, and raised his leg again, kicked Zhou Cong who kept kowtowing away, and then slammed the steel arrow in his hand to the ground. Ning Sheng said: "If the Jin people want to kill the main palace, why wait until now, why do you have to go to such great lengths......" As early as when she was in the Jin Army camp, as early as when she and Lin Haotian were trapped in the tunnel, she had already died thousands of times back and forth.

Zhou Cong knelt on the ground, his cheeks were numb from pain, sweat mixed with blood, making half of his face turn into a big flower face, he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, yes, the princess is extremely analytical, it is the villain who is stupid, it is the villain who is incompetent, oh...... It's just that I don't know who the princess thinks the assassin did......"

"Hmph, of course, those who see this palace as an eyesore and want to provoke the Yanjin War immediately!" Yin Xiang sneered, looking at Zhou Cong, who was kneeling on the ground trembling and pitiful, she stepped forward with a clear conscience, grabbed the clothes on his shoulder, and said while pulling: "Get up, this palace beats you, also to remind you, let you learn a lesson, and become smarter in the future." Sometimes, what you see with your eyes may not be true, now you understand?"

When Zhou Cong heard this, tears fell, and now he can't tell Yin Xiang what he feels, and he doesn't know whether to hate her or be grateful to her, he only has one impression left on Yin Xiang, that is, fickle, he has never seen such a fickle woman, one moment amiable like a fairy, and the other time he has become a violent and tyrannical devil.

"Yes, yes, the princess taught her a lesson, the villain knows her mistakes, and the villain remembers the princess's teachings. As he spoke, he stood up tremblingly.

"This palace shot is a little heavier. Yin Xiang looked at the blood marks on Zhou Cong's face, sighed twice, and said sideways: "Xing Lei, come and help Lord Zhou take medicine, use the medicine given to the palace by his father!"

Hearing this, Zhou Cong, who had just gotten up, weakened his legs and knelt back again, is the princess going to reward herself or kill herself?

Yin Xiang didn't pay attention to his reaction, turned around and sat back in his seat, his arm propped up on the table, held his cheeks, and muttered: "Father transferred the palace back to the capital, the palace doesn't want to go back, I was going to have a transfer of flowers and trees, make a fake return to the capital, and fool my father, but this happened, it seems that the palace doesn't want to go back to the capital." ”

Listening to Yin Xiang's muttering to herself, Lin Haotian, who was just above her head, almost laughed, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised high, it turned out that Yin Xiang was not an unpredictable prophet, but wanted to deal with Yin Ji's order, so she got a stand-in to get by, but she was beaten crookedly and escaped, it seems that Yin Xiang's luck is not ordinarily good!

However, she was still very smart, first of all, she ruled out the fact that the assassin was a golden person, and listening to the meaning of Yin Xiang's words, she seemed to have some clues about who instructed the assassin who came to assassinate her.

After Xing Lei gave Zhou Cong good medicine, Yin Xiang said: "Tomorrow, this palace will return to the capital, during this period in Bianyang County, the danger of this palace will be responsible for you, Lord Zhou, if the palace's calculation is correct, the assassin will continue to assassinate, but this palace doesn't want to find a second substitute for the dead ghost, if there is another accident, Lord Zhou, you should wash your own and your family's necks, and wait to cut off your head!"

Zhou Cong shuddered and stammered: "Princess, please rest assured, the villain will do his best to ensure the safety of the princess in Bianyang County!"

"You can do it!" Yin Xiang sneered, then stood up slowly, and said as she walked out, "Have you arranged a place to live for the palace?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's in the backyard!" Zhou Cong hurriedly followed Yin Xiang and said as if offering a treasure: "The villain has made careful arrangements in the backyard, even if it is a fly, don't want to fly in and disturb the princess." ”

Yin Xiang's face softened a little when she heard this, and she didn't speak, but walked out of the lobby surrounded by the guards and Zhou Cong, and went straight to the backyard of the county capital.

The distance between the front yard and the back yard of the county capital is not short, and for Lin Haotian, who is hiding in the dark, this is another difficult and dangerous journey.

Because the princess was going to stay in the backyard, Zhou Cong could arrange heavy guards here, and the posts were densely populated, so he almost didn't directly send people to surround the entire backyard. Under such circumstances, it is conceivable that it will be difficult for Lin Haotian to blend in without being noticed.

When he approached the backyard, there were soldiers standing guard outside the courtyard wall, and there was no gap to drill. Lin Haotian observed in the dark for a long time, but did not find a way to sneak in, he sighed secretly, and when he was feeling discouraged, he suddenly heard a slight footstep behind him.

He looked back and saw that it was two maids from the county capital who were walking towards the backyard.

Lin Haotian's heart moved, his eyes rolled, and then he touched two small stones from the ground. When the two little maids were still twenty steps away from the backyard, he popped out a small stone between his fingers. (To be continued......)
