Lin Haotian's calm smile froze, his face showed a cold color, and he asked rhetorically, "Lord Li is questioning Ben Shuai's words?"

I didn't expect him to ask so suddenly, Li Qi hurriedly shook his head and said, "I have no intention of doing this......

Lin Haotian interrupted: "As the commander of the first army, do you think this commander will go back on his word and not believe his word?"

Li Qi immediately realized that his questioning had gone too far, and that the integrity of the commander-in-chief of the three armed services represented the integrity of a country, and questioning the words of the commander-in-chief of the three armed services would undoubtedly be a humiliation to the entire country. Li Qi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stood up, bowed deeply to Lin Haotian, and said, "The old man lost his words, and I hope General Lin will not be surprised." ”

Lin Haotian waved his hand, his expression softened, and he said indifferently: "Lord Li can't trust Ben Shuai, he can always trust my king, right? ”

Hearing this, Li Qi no longer had any doubts in his heart, if Jin King Zhao Yu could really send such a secret message, then this matter would be a sure thing, Lin Haotian might be able to deceive people, but the king of a country would definitely not. Li Qi bowed to the ground again, his face trembling with excitement, and said, "Old man, thank you General Lin!"

"Hehe!" Lin Haotian smiled and said, "The next time we see each other, I'm afraid that Lord Li will call himself this king!"

"Haha-" Li Qi couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and he also smiled on his back, and his round face full of red light was covered with another layer of glory. In the past few days, he has been overwhelmed by the joint invasion of Jin and Chi, thinking that the Mu Kingdom is more auspicious and his position is not guaranteed, but he did not expect that this will become an opportunity for him to reach the throne of the Mu King.

After talking about everything, Lin Haotian said: "Master Li should not stay here for a long time. If there is something in the future, Ben Shuai will send someone to contact the adult. ”

"Okay!" Li Qi also realized that he had stayed here for too long, and he arched his hand and said, "General Lin, the old man retires." After speaking, seeing that Lin Haotian had no intention of leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the general still leaving?"

Lin Haotian looked down at the table full of dishes. smiled and said: "The wine and food of the wood country have not been tasted yet, how can he leave in such a hurry?"

Li Qi secretly said that Lin Haotian's courage was really great, and he dared to eat and drink as if no one was next to Xiangyang. He rolled his eyes and asked with a smile: "General Lin is not afraid that the old man will go to the informant and arrest the general after he leaves?"

Hearing this, Shao Lin's eyes flashed with fierce light, and his murderous aura was exposed.

Lin Haotian didn't care, he picked up the chopsticks. Inserted a red stewed pork knuckle, and said with a smile: "Will Lord Li be stupid to do it here?" Ben Shuai is the benefactor who helps you soar to the top, and it is also the step for you to reach the throne, only a fool will do things that destroy his future, and Lord Li is obviously not this kind of person." ”

Li Qi laughed again, said no more, took his retainer Zhang Yuan, and said a word of respect to Lin Haotian. Then walk out of the private room.

After Li Qi left, Shao Lin looked at Lin Haotian, who was sitting there eating and drinking. He asked worriedly, "Big brother, is Li Qi really not going to tell the truth?"

"Of course not! As I said, only a fool would do that. Lin Haotian nibbled on pork knuckle, and his eating appearance was not elegant.

"Li Qi really believes that the eldest brother will make him the king of wood?" Shao Lin sneered.

Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't underestimate the temptation of the throne, a crown." can let ministers kill kings, sons kill fathers, risk the disapproval of the world, and under the lust for profit, people's eyes are often blinded. ”

Shao Lin nodded, feeling that what Lin Haotian said made sense. In front of the throne, the darkest side of human nature can be vividly expressed.

Wooing Li Qi was smoother than Lin Haotian expected, and completing this matter can be regarded as completing the main task of this trip to Xiangyang, and the next thing is to wait, wait for news from Li Qi's side.

At the same time, he passed a letter to the flying pigeon in Wancheng through a spy in the army, and asked Tai Shuhong to meet Zhao Yu immediately, write down the secret Zhao who established Li Qi as the king of wood, and brought it to Xiangyang as soon as possible, so as to completely dispel Li Qi's doubts and enable him to do his best for himself.

In Lin Haotian's concept, integrity is worthless, don't look at what he said in front of Li Qi, he swears, but he has already made up his mind in his heart, on the day of breaking Xiangyang, the first person he wants to kill is Li Qi, as for the king's secret Zhao, he will also take it back from Li Qi's hands and destroy it secretly.

In his heart, there will be no more Wood Country in the future, let alone the existence of the Wood King.

In the next few days, Lin Haotian did not launch a large-scale attack on Xiangyang, but ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate, and wait for the best opportunity to attack the city.

On the evening of that day, Lin Haotian did not rest, looking at the sand table in the tent of the Chinese army, thinking about how to fight the siege battle in the future.

Together with Lin Haotian were Chu Lianyu and Bi Wen, their expressions were much more dignified than Lin Haotian's, standing next to the sand table, their brows furrowed tighter than the other.

Just as they were pondering around the sand table, Shao Lin approached from outside, and when he came to Lin Haotian, he whispered: "My lord, Lu Hui, the doorman of Li Qi, the imperial historian of the Mu Kingdom, asks to see you!"

"Oh?" Lin Haotian came back to his senses, his eyes rolled, Lu Hui, he didn't know this person. He asked, "Where is the person now?"

"I've taken it out of the tent!"

"Can you identify this person?"

"With him is our army brother lurking in Xiangyang, and he can't be wrong. Shao Lin replied.

Lin Haotian pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "Let him in." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Haotian turned around and sat back in the handsome seat, and as soon as he sat down, Shao Lin walked in from outside with an old man and a young man.

The young man was in his early twenties, and the older one was in his fifties, with a rich body and a red face.

"The villain sees the adult!" The two entered the big tent, both knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Lin Haotian to greet him.

Lin Haotian waved his hand, motioned for both of them to get up, then looked at the fat middle-aged man and asked, "Your name is Lu Hui?"

"Yes, King!"

"Li Yushi's protégé?"

"Yes. ”

"The four gates of Xiangyang have been closed, how did you get out?" Lin Haotian asked curiously.

Lu Hui and the Jin Army spies glanced at each other, and the latter replied, "Lord Hui, we quietly slipped down from the city while the wooden soldiers defending the city were changing guards. ”

That makes sense. Lin Haotian nodded and smiled, glanced at Chu Lianyu and Bi Wen beside him, and saw that the two of them were also softened, he felt even more relieved, and said, "Take a little brother of our army to rest, and make a great record!"

"Thank you, sir!"

The young man knelt on the ground again, bowed his head in thanksgiving, and then turned around and walked out of the big tent at Shao Lin's signal.

Waiting for him to leave, Lin Haotian asked, "Mr. Lu Hui came to visit late at night, there must be something important to discuss with Ben Shuai, right?"

"That's right, the little one is here on the orders of my family......" As he spoke, Lu Hui's eyes swept left and right, and he stopped talking.

Lin Haotian understood what he meant, raised his chin, and said, "It's okay to say it." ”

Lu Hui was silent for a moment, then leaned closer to Lin Haotian and said in a low voice: "What my lord means is that when your army is attacking the city, it should use the main force in the northern city. ”

Lin Haotian was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why do you want to attack Beicheng?"

"Xiangye's nephew Li Peng is now serving as the deputy general of Beicheng City Defense, as long as your army can kill Xu Changfang, the chief general of Beicheng in front of the two armies, the nephew can naturally take over the city defense of Beicheng, and at that time, the nephew can open the city gate at any time and welcome your army into the city. Lu Hui's eyes kept rolling as he spoke, and his face was full of sinister smiles.

After listening to his words, Lin Haotian took a breath and was speechless for a long time.

He was also secretly wondering whether what Lu Hui said was true or false, Li Qi was a doctor of imperial history, and he was a traditional magnate in the Mu Kingdom, and it was normal for some relatives to serve in the army, but it was not an easy task to kill the chief general of Beicheng first.

He is outside the city, and Xu Changfang is inside the city, how can he kill him?

Lin Haotian pondered for a long time, and Fang said with a smile: "There are many masters under Li Yushi, and it is much easier for Lord Yushi to get rid of Xu Changfang, the lord of Beicheng, than our army. ”

"But the risk is also higher!" Lu Hui continued: "Most of the adult's disciples are well-known, and once the matter is revealed, the adult will be doomed." Besides, Xu Changfang's own martial arts are not weak, he is a fierce general on the same level as Sima Changren, and he has little hope of succeeding in a hurry to assassinate him, but this person has an impulsive and irritable temperament, and it is not difficult for your army to lead him out of the city to fight, but I don't know if your army has the ability to kill him in front of the two armies. ”

Hearing this, Chu Lianyu and Bi Wen frowned, and their eyes glared at Lu Hui fiercely. (To be continued......)
