Now there are many people in and out of Huaiyang, most of them are young and strong young men, and most of them come here for only one purpose: to join the army, protect their families and defend the country, and make meritorious contributions.

You country is barren and the environment is harsh, and you people can survive in this land, and their hearts are still very united. If it weren't for Nie Lin's rebellion, claiming to be the emperor privately, and wantonly slaughtering people among the people, there would have been more people who came to join the army, and I am afraid that the capital would be overcrowded, and it would be impossible for the New Red Army to reach Huaiyang like this.

As the so-called one wrong step, one wrong step, Nie Lin has already ridden the tiger now, and he can't help himself.

Let's say that Lin Haotian and his entourage followed the flow of people and came to the east gate of Huaiyang. There are hundreds of You soldiers guarding here, strictly checking the people entering and leaving.

When he found Lin Haotian here, without waiting for others to speak, Xu Jie took the lead to meet him, with a smile on his face, raised his head and said, "Xiao Chu, it turns out that you are on duty today!"

He called Xiao Chu was the captain of the famous You Bing, looking for the sound, seeing that the person who came was Xu Jie, he was happy, he stepped forward, and asked with a smile: "Brother Xu, what's the matter, are you going to enter the city today?"

"Yes, I'll take a few fellow villagers into the city to join the army!" Xu Jie casually pointed to Lin Haotian and the others.

"Fellow?" Captain You Bing looked around at Lin Haotian and the others, stretched out his hand, and said solemnly: "Lu Yin brought it." ”

Lin Haotian and others led the way one after another. Captain You Bing took it, looked at it roughly, and asked Xu Jie with a low smile: "When did Brother Di become a native of Taihe County, could it be that he was pulling people to mix money again?"

Now there are difficulties in recruiting soldiers in Youguo, and the imperial court has regulations that anyone who recommends young and strong people to join the army can receive a certain amount of reward, and Xu Jie has recommended it several times before.

Of course, he didn't like that little money. However, his disguised identity is a teahouse owner, and he is also a ruffian, and sometimes he needs to do a few things to disguise his identity as an intelligence dealer, and by the way, make more contacts.

Hearing Captain You Bing's words, he smiled dryly and took out a few copper coins from his cuffs. Stuffed into the hand of Captain You Bing, he said: "If you have time to go out of the city, go to my brother's place to sit, drink tea, eat snacks, and treat my brother to a treat." ”

Captain You Bing took the copper coin and stuffed it into his belt, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, what are you doing here? Everyone is an acquaintance, you ...... How can I be embarrassed......"

"Oops. Brother, you don't have to be polite to my brother!"

Captain You Bing nodded again and again with a smile, handed the road back to Lin Haotian and the others, and said to the You soldiers on the left and right: "Release, release, no need to check, it's all your own people!"

"Captain, we haven't been searched yet!"

"Whatever you search, it's all your own people. Hurry up and let go!" Captain You Bing glared at his subordinates.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current management. Don't look at the captain of You Bing, who is not big, but he is the top boss of the soldiers, and everyone dare not listen to his words. With Xu Jie here, it really saved Lin Haotian and the others a lot of trouble, You Bing didn't even search their bodies, so they were directly let into the city.

Inside the city of Huaiyang.

You are poor. But from Huaiyang can not see the slightest clue, here gathered most of the powerful and businessmen of Youguo, Huaiyang is the economic center of Youguo, it is not too much.

Compared to the slums outside the city, the buildings inside the city are like two worlds. Tall and luxurious pavilions can be seen everywhere, the streets and alleys, crowded with people, the shouts of the traders on both sides come and go, the exquisite and generous carriages gallop through the middle of the street from time to time, Huaiyang at this time is still a prosperous scene, there is no sense of crisis under the city.

Or you people have long been accustomed to the invasion of the enemy, in people's subconscious seems to believe that no matter how powerful the enemy army, it is impossible to capture the capital of the country, for thousands of years, the number of times the country has been invaded by the enemy army is not thousands, there are hundreds, the enemy army has fought from the border to Huaiyang several times, but none of them entered the city, and in the end they were all stubbornly repelled by the soldiers of the You country, and many people in the capital also believe that this time will not be an exception.

There was no sign of panic and a large number of people evacuated in Huaiyang, and Lin Haotian felt that this was a good thing, indicating that you did not subconsciously see yourself as a real threat. The more careless the enemy, the more opportunities you can seize.

Not long after entering Huaiyang City, Lin Haotian and his party found a small and relatively secluded restaurant.

After taking their seats, everyone casually ordered a few plates of You Guo's specialties, and then Kong Qing proposed to Lin Haotian that he should leave for a while and find a way to meet the prince and discuss the meeting with the prince.

Lin Haotian nodded, didn't say anything, just asked Kong Qing to be careful.

Shao Lin put down his chopsticks, shook his head at the two subordinates beside him, and said, "You two go with Gongzi Kong, remember, you must ensure the safety of Gongzi Kong!"

Shao Lin asked his subordinates to protect Kong Qing is fake, but the surveillance is real. This is Huaiyang, the capital of You State, in case Kong Qing reports to You Jun, the consequences are unimaginable.

These two demon warriors were very clever, Ma understood what Shao Lin meant, and in a chaotic manner, he shoved the food into his mouth a few times, and then both stood up and walked towards Kong Qing.

Kong Qing is not a fool, and naturally knows that Shao Lin is not at ease with him, and he is a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he can also understand Shao Lin's caution. He pretended to be confused, smiled at Shao Lin, and said, "It's troublesome for Brother Shao to take care of it." ”

The corners of Shao Lin's mouth were raised, and a smile appeared on his rigid and stiff face, and he said indifferently: "Master Kong doesn't have to be polite. ”

Kong Qing looked outside the restaurant, and saw an inconspicuous inn diagonally opposite, and then whispered to Lin Haotian: "Big ...... Lin Gongzi, after eating, Gongzi can go to the inn opposite to take shelter first, and when the matter is done, I will go over to find you!"

Lin Haotian glanced out the window, had no objection, and nodded in response. After making an appointment with Lin Haotian to meet at a location, Kong Qing asked Xu Jie to take care of Lin Haotian on his behalf, and then left the restaurant quickly under the 'protection' of the two demon warriors.

As soon as he left on his front foot, Shao Lin raised his hand, seemingly casually pointed out two more subordinates, and glanced outside. The two Demon Warriors understood what he meant, and immediately put down their chopsticks and followed them in great strides.

It was not enough to arrange for the two of them to monitor Kong Qing closely, Shao Lin sent two more people to follow and watch him in secret, which could not blame him for being too careful, after all, it was related to Lin Haotian's life and death. Shao Lin had to tread carefully.

Kong Qing on the side saw it clearly, and nodded secretly, no wonder Lin Haotian had such courage to dare to enter Huaiyang with more than a dozen people, none of these people around him were given for nothing.

He didn't know the identities of Zhang Bufan and Ling Wuya, but he could feel it. The cultivation of these two people has reached the peak of perfection, although Shao Lin's underworld martial arts are a cut worse than the two of them, but they are thoughtful and quick-witted, that is, capable and experienced, even these retinues below, each of them has a good underworld martial arts cultivation.

Finally waited for everyone to finish eating, Xu Jie took out two pieces of broken silver from his arms and put them on the table, and then whispered to Lin Haotian: "Lin Gongzi." The land of right and wrong is not suitable for a long stay, let's go to the inn to rest first!"

Even if the restaurant is quite secluded, it is also a place where people come and go, and if Lin Haotian is recognized, it will be all over.

Lin Haotian didn't shirk it, stood up slowly, and said, "Go!"

The inn opposite the restaurant. They chartered three rooms, and Lin Haotian's room was in the middle. The rooms of the demonic warriors are on either side.

Entering the room, the little two who led the way were sent away, and Lin Haotian, Zhang Bufan, Ling Wuya, Shao Lin, and Xu Jie sat down one after another.

Xu Jie spoke first and said in a low voice: "If the general has any arrangements, even if he orders, the villain will help His Highness handle it properly." ”

Lin Haotian smiled. Waving his hand, he said, "It's good now, I don't need anything." After a pause, he asked curiously, "Mr. Xu Jie and General Kong are friends?"

"No, the villain is the general's subordinate......" in front of Lin Haotian. Xu Jie had nothing to hide from his identity, and told Lin Haotian about it one by one.

Speaking of the most embarrassing, he couldn't help but ask: "General, when the coalition forces arrive in Huaiyang, will the hundreds of thousands of civilians outside the city be within the attack range of the coalition forces?"

For this problem, Lin Haotian hadn't thought about it before, and he didn't know that there was such a large area of outer city outside Huaiyang, and he didn't find out this until he came to Huaiyang.

"It's up to the people outside the city to do this," he said. If they assist the You army and the coalition forces as enemies, a fight is inevitable, and if they are willing to defend themselves and do not interfere in the battle between the two sides, they will naturally be safe!"

Xu Jie sighed secretly, if the coalition forces really hit Huaiyang, how could the people outside the city sit idly by? Even if they don't enter the city to join the army, they will still defend their homes desperately outside the city, and once there is a conflict with the coalition army, I don't know how many people will be killed or injured by the road!

He was extremely worried about this, and was about to speak, Lin Haotian said with a smile: "If this marshal can reach a consensus with the prince of your country this time, even if the coalition troops come to the city in the future, the two sides may not start a battle, and the war will be resolved in a peaceful way, and the problem that Mr. Xu Jie is worried about now will no longer be a problem." ”

Xu Jie nodded, and then asked: "The consensus that the general said is that he hopes that the crown prince can depose the king, inherit the throne, and take over the You country?"

Lin Haotian smiled and said, "That's right!"

Hearing his personal confirmation, Xu Jie was relieved. Judging from the current situation, this is the best result for You Guo, and the things he is doing now are not treason, as Kong Qing said, he is saving the country.

They were talking, when there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside.

Because they didn't let the shopkeeper send anything over, everyone frowned, Zhang Bufan and Shao Lin both got up, holding swords in their hands, and were about to walk towards the door, Xu Jie's heart moved, got up to stop the two, and said: "Listen to the knock on the door, it looks like my subordinates, I'll open the door and have a look!"

As he spoke, Xu Jie came to the door, opened it and looked, and it was indeed his subordinate standing outside the door, Zhang Li!

Seeing her, Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why did you find it?"

Zhang Li looked past Xu Jie and looked into the room, and sure enough, 'Lin Asan' and they were also inside. She bowed her head slightly and said, "My subordinates came here to see if Brother Xu had any place to ask his subordinates for help." ”

Secretly said that she was troublesome, she didn't come here to help, she was just curious about the identities of Lin Haotian's people.

Xu Jie couldn't understand the character of his subordinates, and after thinking about it, if he sent her away again, with Zhang Li's character, he would definitely not give up, and maybe there would be some kind of mess!

Thinking of this, he simply turned sideways. He raised his head and said, "Come in!"

Zhang Liyan smiled, floating into the room like a flower butterfly, she first came to Lin Haotian and asked with a smile: "Can Lin Gongzi get things done after entering the city?"

"Not yet. Lin Haotian smiled and replied indifferently.

"I don't know, what is Lin Gongzi going to do? Maybe I can help too. Zhang Li asked tentatively.

Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just that I came to see an 'old friend', it's not a big deal." ”

"It turned out to be here. Zhang Li asked again without giving up: "I don't know who this old friend Gongzi wants to see is?"

Xu Jie walked over, glared at her dissatisfiedly, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I already tell you, don't ask more if you shouldn't know about it! Lin Gongzi is my honored guest, don't be rude." ”

Zhang Li agreed unwillingly and reluctantly, rolled her eyes, and walked towards Zhang Bufan again. He asked with a smile, "I don't know the name of this son?"

Zhang Bufan sat there, his eyes closed, and his eyelids were not raised, as if he hadn't heard her question.

Zhang Li was bored with herself, turned her head and looked at Ling Wuya and Shao Lin, these two were all yin qi, and there was no need to go forward. Far away from the two of them, you could feel an icy chill.

Who are they? Zhang Li was puzzled.

Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know how long it was. There was another knock on the door outside, and then, a demonic underworld warrior walked in, walked quickly to Lin Haotian's side, fell into his ear, and whispered, "My lord." General Kong is back. ”

"Invite him in!" Lin Haotian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he whispered to the Demon Martial Artist.

"Yes, my lord!" the Demon Warrior got up and strode away.

The conversation between the two of them was not loud, but it was enough for Zhang Li who was present to hear it clearly. Hearing that the Demon Martial Artist was called Lord Lin Haotian, her body shook suddenly.

This young man who called himself Lin Ah San was an officer? What kind of country is an officer? Look at his age of about 30. It's surnamed Lin again, is it ...... Thinking of this, she blurted out, "You...... Are you the marching coach Lin Haotian?"

"Bold!" Zhang Li didn't see what was going on, she only felt that the pressure behind her fluctuated, and then, the back of her neck tightened, as if she was caught by an iron tong.

It turned out that Shao Lin, who was standing by the window just now, appeared behind her in an instant, and when he appeared, he shot like electricity, holding the back of her neck.

It turned out to be Lin Haotian! Zhang Li's face suddenly turned pale as paper, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily. When she saw Lin Haotian for the first time, she guessed that his identity was not simple, but she never dreamed that he would be Lin Haotian, the dignified coach of the Golden Army.

Alas, when Xu Jie saw this, he secretly said troublesome, this Zhang Li can really provoke right and wrong for herself. He walked to Lin Haotian's side, bowed to the ground, and said apologetically: "General, please forgive the villain's subordinates for their rudeness......"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Haotian smiled lightly, waved his hand to Shao Lin, and said: "Don't blame those who don't know, what's more, we are guests now, Mr. Xu Jie is the master, don't offend others." ”

Hearing Lin Haotian's words, Shao Lin slowly let go of his hand.

Zhang Li was also calm quickly, she raised her hand and rubbed the back of her neck that was scratched by him, and said indignantly: "The demon warrior is really domineering, especially when facing a lady. ”

Shao Lin, who was so unsmiling, was almost amused by her words, if this Zhang Li can also be called a lady, then I am afraid that there is no lady in the world. Lazy to pay attention to her, Shao Lin silently returned to the window.

At this time, with the sound of footsteps, Kong Qing walked in from outside.

Without waiting for Lin Haotian to open his mouth to ask, Kong Qing had already stepped forward and said excitedly: "General, the last general has already met the prince, and the prince has also agreed to meet with the general." ”

Oh, this is really good news, as long as Nie Danken meets with him, it means that he has the intention of cooperating with the coalition forces.

Lin Haotian was happy in his heart, but his face was silent, still with a faint smile, he asked, "Have you set the time and place for the meeting?"

"Yes, General, it has already been agreed!" Kong Qing nodded in response: "Just tonight, the prince will personally come to this inn to meet His Highness." ”

"That's very good. Lin Haotian nodded, changed his words, and asked, "When you saw Nie Dan, didn't he make it difficult for you?"

Kong Qing Zhengse said: "The last general has always been friendly with the prince, and the reason why the last general's family can be safe and sound in Huaiyang is also thanks to the prince's protection." ”

"En!" Lin Haotian smiled and said, "General Kong has worked hard, and this time it is thanks to General Kong who is maneuvering around." ”

"The general doesn't have to be polite. Kong Qing said: "The reason why the last general is so dedicated is actually to help You Guo. ”

If you know the truth of the matter, I'm afraid your intestines will regret it! Lin Haotian sneered in his heart, and his face did not show anything. Since it was too early, Lin Haotian had nothing to do, so he asked Xu Jie to buy a few copies of You Guo's nationality and pass the time in the room.

Although Lin Haotian was watching, he was also dual-minded, and when the sky darkened, he put down his nationality and said to Zhou Ren: "Let's go to the restaurant opposite to eat something." ”

Kong Qing hurriedly stopped: "General Lin, it's not early, the prince will arrive soon, let's wait first, what the general wants to eat, the last general will go to the restaurant opposite to buy it." ”

Lin Haotian said with a smile: "What General Kong bought may not meet my appetite, don't worry, the restaurant is so close to the inn, it won't be wrong." As he spoke, he walked out.

Only a fool would sit in the room and wait stupidly at this time! Kong Qing may be fine, or he may really want to promote a meeting between himself and Nie Dan, but who dares to guarantee that Nie Dan has no evil intentions in his heart? In case he leads a large army to come and surround the inn, with the few people around him, it will not be easy to break through the siege.

Out of this concern, Lin Haotian decided to hide in the restaurant opposite for the time being, and take a look first, if Nie Dan only brought his entourage and did not lead the army, it would not be too late for him to go over and meet him.

Lin Haotian is thoughtful, and his ability to protect himself is definitely outstanding, and it is difficult to plot against him.

Kong Qing couldn't resist him, and in the end, he had to follow Lin Haotian to the restaurant opposite. (To be continued......)
