Not to mention annexing the Yan Kingdom, with the current strength of the Jin Kingdom, once a war breaks out with the Yan Kingdom, it is really not certain who will lose and who will win in the end! It is too unrealistic to want to destroy the Yan Kingdom in the same way as the Red Kingdom.

After hastily eating the meal prepared by Lao Suo, Lin Haotian and the others turned off the lights and rested one after another.

There was nothing to say in the evening, and when it came to the early morning of the next day, Lin Haotian and his party said goodbye to Lao Suo and continued to set off.

Less than two miles away from the village, Roland suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly reined in his horse. Lin Haotian and the others also stopped one after another, looking at her in confusion, only to see Roland touching around his body, as if he was looking for something.

Lin Haotian frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My lord, it seems that my subordinate's money bag has fallen into that family's house. ”

After hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes. Lin Haotian also shook his head and smiled, and said: "It's just a money bag, don't do it, how much silver you lost, I'll give it to you when you go back." ”

"However, the silver in the money bag bears the mark of my kingdom of gold. Roland hung his head and said cautiously: "If the old man picks up the report to the official, I'm afraid that it will ...... The rest of the trip will be troublesome. ”

Lin Haotian pondered for a moment and said, "Why are you so careless, go back and get it immediately!"

"Yes, sir!" Roland hurriedly agreed, then turned his horse's head and returned the way he came.

Lin Haotian was afraid that she wouldn't be able to cope with it alone, so he said to Shao Lin, Tong Lei, and Chang Feng: "You wait here, I'll go over and take a look." ”

"My lord, my subordinates will go with you!" Shao Lin and Tong Lei were about to follow, Lin Haotian waved his hand to them and said, "No need, just get back the money bag, go and go back!" He urged his horse and chased after Roland.

Roland, who was walking in front, heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her, looked back, and saw Lin Haotian catching up, she slowed down her horse, and waited for him to come closer. asked, "My lord, just go and get it yourself!"

Lin Haotian said: "Let's not talk about whether people have found your money bag, as long as you open your mouth, people will know that you are a golden person." Luo Lan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly at Lin Haotian, she really forgot about it.

The two of them came back very much, two miles away, in the blink of an eye. When he was about to approach the house at the edge of the village, Lin Haotian suddenly reined in the war horse. His eyes were like electricity, and he looked around again and again.

"Your Excellency?" Roland asked in a low voice as he approached him.

"Something is wrong here!" Lin Haotian said with a frown.

"Huh?" Roland's face was dazed, they had just left from here, and I was afraid that it was only a cup of tea before and after, so what could be wrong with such a long time?

"There is a murderous aura!" As he spoke, Lin Haotian flew off his war horse. Then he pointed to the crops by the roadside, meaning to hide the war horse in it first.

Roland will. Hurriedly jumped off the warhorse, took the reins, and walked into the crop field. After she tied up the war horse, she looked at Lin Haotian and asked him what to do now?

Lin Haotian rolled his eyes and took out a small porcelain bottle from his armor. Pour out two Scattered Immortal Pills, take one for yourself first, and give the other to Roland, and then whispered: "Disperse the Immortal Qi first, go over and see what's going on!"

Roland nodded. According to Lin Haotian's intention, he swallowed the Scattered Pills first, and then followed him quietly out of the crop field and slowly sneaked towards Lao Suo's courtyard.

Lin Haotian and Roland did not go to the main door, and quietly walked around to the back of the house, and then Lin Haotian raised his finger and pointed to the roof, Roland understood and nodded at him.

He jumped up to the eaves first, quickly squatted down, and pulled Roland up with his hand.

The two of them lay on the roof and slowly climbed forward, first observing the situation in the front yard, the front yard was empty, there was no one, and there was no sound, and then, Lin Haotian opened the bricks and tiles on the roof and looked inside the house.

Roland immediately came over, and until now, she hadn't noticed anything unusual, and she didn't know what the adults were so mysterious for. However, after she saw the situation in the room clearly, her face suddenly changed.

I saw that in the house, not only Lao Suo was there, but also several of his daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and granddaughters, at this time, everyone was tied up with flowers, and their mouths were still stuffed with cloth, trembling and snuggling in the corner, and standing beside them were two burly black-clothed men with sharp blades.

No one spoke, the room was quiet, and the two black-clothed men stood there like two stone statues, motionless, only the steel knives in their hands flashed a terrifying cold light from time to time.

This was Roland's first reaction, she subconsciously wanted to draw her sword back, but Lin Haotian took the first step to hold her arm and shook his head at her slightly.

Roland was puzzled, no matter what, people have helped them, and now they are in trouble, if they don't know, just do it, since they know, they should help.

However, she didn't dare to disobey Lin Haotian's wishes, so she had to slowly put down the hand that drew her sword and continued to look at the situation in the room patiently.

After waiting for about half a pillar of incense, the door suddenly opened, and two more people walked in from the outside, and these two people came to a big man in black, and they didn't say anything, just shook their heads.

The black-clothed man's face sank, he waved his hand to the two of them, and then walked up to Lao Suo, squatted down, and pulled out the cloth from his mouth.

Lao Suo lay on the ground, gasping for breath, and after a while, Fang took a breath, his face was full of horror, and he said tremblingly: "Home...... The money at home is in the cabinet, you can take it all you want, we ...... We won't report it to the ......."

"Who are they?" asked the man in black suddenly.

"Huh?" the old man was stunned by his inexplicable question.

"Who were those people staying at your house last night?" the man in black asked again.

"They?" the old man was stunned for a moment, and then said repeatedly, "They...... They are all soldiers, they are all ...... Good guy ......"

Before Lao Suo's words were finished, the steel knife in the hand of the black-clothed man suddenly stabbed out, and he heard a thud, and the steel knife did not stab Lao Suo's body, but stuck to his body and stabbed him in the chest of a village woman behind him.

This knife pierced her body directly.

"I'm going to hear the truth. The black-clothed man said coldly, and then, he pulled out the steel knife violently, and with a pounce, a bloody arrow sprayed out. splashed the faces and bodies of the people around them.

"Uh......h Woo ......" Seeing the village woman being killed by Chang Feng, the three village women and more than a dozen children next to her were frightened and grieved, and they were so frightened that they screamed continuously, but they couldn't shout at all because they were so tightly gambed.

Lao Suo was full of grief and indignation, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted on the spot.

Roland, hidden on the roof, saw it clearly. Her body trembled and she looked at Lin Haotian again, but this time her face was full of eagerness. These black-clothed people are obviously coming for them, and Lao Suo's family should not be innocently implicated.

Lin Haotian frowned, and his mind was also turning, but he still stopped Roland and motioned for her to wait and see what happened.

Inside the house.

The man in black indifferently shook the blood stains on his knife, and then said to the tearful old man: "Don't tell the truth again." The next knife is not to stab your daughter-in-law, but to kill your grandson and granddaughter. ”

"I'm telling the truth, they ...... Indeed, they are soldiers...... "The old man cried out.

The man in black sneered, raised the knife in his hand again, and was about to cut off a child's head, just as the door opened again. From outside, another man in black walked in, and he stepped up to the big man in black. He whispered, "Captain!" As he spoke, he handed a delicate satin money bag in his hand to the black-clothed man.

The latter first looked down, put down the steel knife he raised, and then stared at the man in black without speaking.

The man in black explained in a whisper, "It was found in the house where they lived. ”

Hearing this, the black-clothed man's eyes lit up, and he handed the steel knife in his hand to the assistant beside him. He took the money bag, looked at it carefully, looked at it for a moment, then lowered his head and sniffed it again, and muttered, "A woman's thing?"

He groaned for a moment. He looked at Lao Su again, shook the string of the money bag in front of his eyes, and asked, "Do you know?" Lao Su shook his head dumbly.

The man in black asked, "Are there any women among them?" and the old man still shook his head.

"Could it be that some of them are dressed as men, and you don't notice?" said the old man, shaking his head.

The man in black didn't ask any more, his eyes naturally fell back to the money bag in his hand, opened it casually, poured out a small silver ingot from it, only looked at it twice, his hand suddenly shook, and then poured out all the silver ingots in the money bag, and checked them one by one.

The black-clothed people around looked at each other, not understanding what was so beautiful about these silvers, and after waiting for a while, the black-clothed man handed one of the silver ingots to the black-clothed people beside him and said, "Look at it!"

The man in black hurriedly took it, looked down, immediately took a breath, and subconsciously exclaimed, "Golden man!"

The black-clothed man stared at him, slowly squatted down in front of Lao Suo, and said, "They are not soldiers at all, but Jin people, can't you even tell the difference between Jin and Yan?"

Lao Suo's face changed greatly, and he shook his head again and again and said: "Impossible, they can't be Jinren, they are wearing the uniforms and armor of the Central Army, and their accent is also Yanguo's accent!"

The man in black snorted coldly, pointed the bottom of a silver ingot at Lao Suo, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the Central Army has switched to the silver of the Jin Kingdom?"

Lao Suo was shocked when he heard this, and looked at it, but no, there was a big gold character imprinted on the bottom of the silver ingot. His head buzzed, and he was shocked, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

At this time, a man in black stepped forward and said urgently: "Captain, could it be that the princess and the golden man ......?"

The man in black raised his arm to stop him from speaking, and then, he put away the silver ingot, carefully carried the money bag back into his arms, and said as he strode out, "Kill them all, you can't leave them alive!"

"Adults, adults, Xiao Lao'er really doesn't know that they are Jinren, I really don't know, Xiao Lao'er's children are all in the army, you adults can check if you don't believe it, their name is ......"

Before Lao Suo could finish his words, a steel knife of Changfeng had mercilessly stabbed him in the neck. At the same time, the rest of the men in black also stepped forward, each raising his knife, and began a cold-blooded massacre of these women and children who had no power to resist.

Roland couldn't hold back any longer, stood up, and planned to forcibly break open the roof tiles and jump in to fight the man in black. Lin Haotian's hand grabbed her and whispered, "Let them go!"

She stared at Lin Haotian with wide eyes, as if asking him why.

Lin Haotian said softly: "These men in black should be the assassins who assassinated Yin Xiang, and it is a good thing to let them know that we are Jinren." ”

The person who saved Yin Xiang was a Jin person, which means that Yin Xiang is likely to have an affair with Jin Guo. In this way, the royal families of the Yan Kingdom will be suspicious of each other, and it will also be beneficial to the Jin Kingdom.

Roland is also a smart person, she can understand it at a glance, and after listening to Lin Haotian's words, she finally understood what he meant. It's just that seeing Lao Suo's family being brutally killed by the man in black, she still couldn't bear it, gently pulled the corner of Lin Haotian's clothes, and whispered: "My lord, let's go!"

Inside the house, now there is only a naked bloody scene left, Lin Haotian is not interested in continuing to watch, he nodded, and quietly went down to the roof with Roland. After returning to the crop field in front of the house, after taking the war horse, he deliberately turned in a big circle to avoid those black-clothed people as much as possible, and then went to meet Shao Lin and Tong Lei and others.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Shao Lin, Tong Lei, and Chang Feng immediately stepped forward and asked Roland, "Why have you been there for so long?

Roland shook his head silently.

Everyone looked at each other with puzzled faces. "What the hell is going on?"

She sighed and told them all what she had just seen.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a breath. It turns out that the assassins have been secretly following themselves and secretly checking their identities, and these assassins are not simple!

Shao Lin said: "The assassins found out that we are Jinren, but I am afraid that Yin Xiang will be suspicious of King Yan and the court of Yan because of this, and the future will be difficult." ”

"Not necessarily. Lin Haotian said: "The person who mastered the assassin may not dare to make this matter public, once it is publicized. It is equivalent to showing that Yin Xiang was assassinated by him. ”

Shao Lin nodded, thinking about it carefully, it was also the same truth.

Lin Haotian said with a smile: "No matter what, let the Yan people be suspicious of each other, even if they are secretly suspicious." It's also good for us. "As long as the Yan people can't work together, even if they are as powerful as the Yan Country, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Shao Lin looked at Lin Haotian and couldn't help but sigh secretly, sometimes, he really felt that Lin Haotian's scheming was much more terrifying than his force.

Next, Lin Haotian and his entourage slept in the open air, day and night, through Bianyang County, and arrived at the Jinyan border.

When they came, they took the route of Blackhead Mountain, and now when they go back, they still choose to take Blackhead Mountain. They had already walked Heitou Mountain once, and then they were familiar with the road, and four days later, Lin Haotian and his party successfully returned to the hot land of Jinguo.

On this trip to Yanguo, Lin Haotian didn't dare to say that he had gained a lot, but he also gained a lot of insight and a deeper understanding of Yanguo.

Judging from the current national strength and public sentiment of the Yan Kingdom, it is basically impossible to defeat the Yan Kingdom from the outside, and the only way to have a chance of winning is to divide and disintegrate from within the Yan Kingdom, and the princes and princesses of the Yan Kingdom are fighting openly and secretly, and the court and the family army are afraid of each other, these can be used by the Jin State, of course, what to do Lin Haotian has not thought about for the time being, and he still needs to have more detailed information.

Back in Guankou City, Lin Haotian immediately found Shao Lin and Tong Lei, and asked the two of them to insert all the eyeliner that could be mobilized in the army into the territory of Yanguo, and he would know all the big and small things that happened in Yanguo in the future, no matter how big or small.

It can be seen that the adults have begun to prepare for the use of troops against Yan, Shao Lin and Tong Lei did not dare to slack off, and immediately took the order.

Lin Haotian carefully inspected inside and outside the pass city for a few more days, and felt that his garrison was very stable, so he set off and returned to Liuhe at the junction of Yan and Chi.

With the withdrawal of the Yan soldiers, Liuhe at this time also changed hands, and the Jin State began to rule Liuhe.

After the Jin army occupied Liuhe, Lin Haotian immediately issued an order to issue a notice to calm the people, so that the people in the city did not need to panic, and the Jin army, like the previous Yan army, would not disturb the order in the city, let alone kill the people in the city indiscriminately.

In terms of cities alone, the population of Liuhe was the largest at that time, with 200,000 or 300,000 registered households alone, and the population of the whole city exceeded 1 million, and the exact number of people and displaced people who were not recorded is unknown.

In the capital with such a huge population base, the replacement of the Yan army by the Jin army almost did not cause any waves in the city, or the people of Liuhe were a little numb to it.

Liuhe was originally controlled by Nie Xing, but later occupied by the Four-Nation Alliance, and then exclusively by the Yan Army, and the people have long been accustomed to the frequent change of ownership of Liuhe.

After Lin Haotian entered the Liuhe River, he temporarily settled in the post station in the city.

The post station was emptied by the Jin army for the first time, and it was changed to a temporary Jin State Palace, but fortunately, everything in the upper stable was large, and the post station was used as a palace, and its scale was more than enough.

After expelling the Yan people from Liuhe, Gu Liangyun couldn't wait to come to the post station, and after seeing Lin Haotian, he said with excitement on his face: "My lord, the Yan people have already left the city, and the soldiers are checking the eyeliner left by the Yan people. ”

Lin Haotian nodded with a smile and said, "Just let the soldiers check a little, there is no need to make a big fuss and disturb the people everywhere." "Liuhe is so big, it is inevitable to get mixed into the eyeliner, and I can't prevent this.

Gu Liangyun replied, and then changed his words, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go to the palace to have a look? ”

Lin Haotian was happy, shook his head and said, "What's so good about the palace, don't go if you don't go." ”

At that time, the Four-Nation Coalition Army invaded You, and once broke through the Liuhe River, when the situation was chaotic, and the Four-Nation Coalition Army ransacked the palace, Lin Haotian still remembered it vividly.

Gu Liangyun Zhengse said: "Your Excellency doesn't know yet, since the Yan Kingdom occupied Liuhe, it has renovated the palace several times, and it is said that there are still a lot of gold, silver and jewelry hoarded in the palace. ”

"Oh?" Lin Haotian was stunned, he really hadn't heard of this.

At this time, Roland also persuaded on the side: "In this case, my lord should go and take a look, and by the way, see if there is anything wrong, after all, the Son of Heaven is going to move back to the palace to live." ”

Roland had never been to the palace before, so it would be a lie to say that she was not curious, and now that she had the opportunity, she didn't want to miss it.

Lin Haotian pondered a little, nodded and responded, "Okay, it's okay to go and have a look." ”

When Gu Liangyun and Luo Lan heard this, a smile immediately appeared on their faces, and they looked at each other and smiled.

Yanguo has renovated the imperial palace, but has not made major changes, only renovated the places that have been damaged before, and also renovated some old places by the way.

The palace of Liuhe is not comparable to the two palaces of Wancheng and Jiankang, in the center of the upper stable, the entire mountain is the foundation of the palace, and the palace is built on the entire mountain.

From the bottom to the top, the palace is divided into nine floors, each with a high wall and a myriad of palaces and pavilions, the scale of which is so magnificent that it is not easy to build a complex of buildings of this magnitude with modern industry.

The walls on the periphery of the palace are so high and thick that even a horse-drawn carriage does not appear narrow on the walls, and the scale is built exactly according to the walls, and there is a wide moat under the walls, as if it were a city within a city. (To be continued......)
