Just looking at Lin Haotian's expression, Wang Song already knew that the gift he prepared had impressed the adult, but he still deliberately pretended to be confused and asked, "What do the adults think of these two pieces of cold iron?"

"Yes, it's really good!" Lin Haotian played with it for a while before putting it back in the brocade box, and then asked Wang Song curiously, "Where did Lord Wang find such a precious thing?"

Wang Song said solemnly: "The adults are wise and powerful, and the people are wanting, naturally some people are willing to take out treasures and dedicate them to the adults, and the lower officials just borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and they dare not take credit." ”

Lin Haotian just asked him where he got the cold iron, but he pulled out such a lot of nonsense, but Lin Haotian was also smart not to ask, presumably, this is very likely to be taken by Wang Song in a certain place in Zeping County, it is better not to know if he knows, so he will accompany Wang Song to pretend to be confused!

He waved his hand to Shao Lin and Tong Lei, who were standing on his left and right, motioned for the two to put away the two brocade boxes, and then said to Wang Song: "Although the treasures are donated by others, they should not be treated badly, and they should be rewarded heavily." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! What the lord said is extremely true, and the lower officials will back up the generous gifts tomorrow and send someone to send them over. Wang Song hurriedly replied.

"En!" Lin Haotian secretly said smartly, nodded with a smile, and looked Wang Song up and down, this person is not good-looking, but he is very scheming, and he knows his preferences very well. He asked, "How can Lord Wang live in peace in Zeping County?"

Wang Song was happy and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the lord, everything is fine now, that is, ...... It's just ......" As he spoke, he looked embarrassed and didn't finish his sentence.

I know that these two pieces of cold iron will not be given to myself in vain! Lin Haotian smiled secretly in his heart, raised his head and said, "Lord Wang, if there is anything unspeakable, please tell me face to face." ”

Wang Song no longer hesitated, and said: "Zeping County has suffered from the war. Since the lower official took charge of the county, the situation in the county has also been stabilized, and now everything is fine, and there are no rebels in the county, but the lower official is homesick and thinks about it!"

"Oh. So that's the case!" Being away from home, thousands of miles away, and homesickness is also human nature, Lin Haotian nodded in understanding and asked, "Does Lord Wang have the intention of returning to his hometown?"

"No, no, no, the lower official knows that now is the time for the adult to employ people, if the lower official throws away the affairs of Zeping County just because he is homesick, he is really ashamed of the grace of the adult. ”

Lin Haotian thought about it. He asked again, "Since Lord Wang doesn't want to leave Zeping County, why don't you take your family over?"

This is to the point, Wang Song made a big turn and waited for Lin Haotian to ask this, he was reluctant to leave in Zeping County, here, he is the head of the county, if he returns to Jindi, he can only be the head of the county. The difference is huge.

He looked embarrassed and said, "Xia Guan has also thought about taking his family to Zeping County. It's just that Xiaguan's current position as the head of the county is only temporary, and he may not be transferred back at any time to bring in his family, which costs a lot of money and will not last long. It's worth the loss!"

Lin Haotian finally understood what Wang Song meant, and to put it mildly, he wanted to remove the word 'generation' from the title of 'acting county head' and be the head of a place in a down-to-earth manner.

If he brought it up directly to Lin Haotian, with Lin Haotian's character. would definitely agree, but when he talked around and around like this, Lin Haotian felt very uncomfortable, feeling that the other party regarded him as an idiot.

Lin Haotian responded quietly, and said ambiguously: "I will mention this matter to the Prime Minister Tai Uncle, as for whether Lord Wang is suitable to be the head of the county in Zeping County, it depends on Lord Wang's performance and political achievements." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Xiaguan will definitely redouble his efforts, and he will be happy to live up to Dalin Haotian, wave his hand and say: "Lord Wang doesn't have to be polite, let's sit back and eat!"

"Thank you, sir!"

After the banquet, Lin Haotian and Song Hao went to the hotel to check in, and on the way, Song Hao asked: "Brother Xian, this Lord Wang is quite clever, but why do I feel that Brother Xian doesn't seem to like him very much?"

Lin Haotian smiled and asked, "Can Brother Song see that I don't like him?"

"Isn't it?"

Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said, "I like people who are straightforward and honest. ”

Song Hao was stunned, then sighed, shook his head and said, "It seems that this generous gift from Lord Wang is for nothing." ”

"That's not necessarily the case!" Lin Haotian said with a smile: "If this Wang Song hadn't sent two pieces of cold iron, he might not be able to do it now." ”

There are two hotels in the county seat of Zeping County, one large and one small, the small one is set up for ordinary officials passing by Chengdu, and the large one is specially built for the children of the Wang family.

Zeping County has many plains, every summer, is the peak season of hunting, in the past, the Red King often came here to play, so there are two hotels in Chengdu City.

The scale of the Wang's Hotel is much larger than that of ordinary hotels, even if it is not as good as the palace, but it is not much worse, the interior is luxurious, and the decoration is splendid, but some of it has been destroyed by the Jin army when it entered the city, and is now being renovated.

When Lin Haotian and Song Hao entered the hotel, there were many craftsmen in the front yard of the hotel who were rushing to work overnight, and there were workers and guards on the scene.

Wang Song, who was accompanying him, caught up with Lin Haotian and Song Hao, and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, His Royal Highness the Jade King, the pavilion has not yet been completed, so it is better to stay in the county capital of Xiaguan!"

When he was having dinner in the county capital just now, Wang Song proposed to Lin Haotian and Song Hao to stay in the county capital, but Lin Haotian refused, he himself didn't like Wang Song very much, and he didn't want to have too much to do with him.

Lin Haotian said: "There is a construction worker in the front yard, Ben Shuai and Brother Song Wang live in the backyard, Lord Wang, you should go back and rest early." ”

How dare Wang Song go back to the house to sleep, Chengdu is his land, if the adult and Song Hao have an accident in Chengdu, he can't afford to have ten heads, he waved his hand again and again, and said: "The lower official is not tired, the lower official has to inspect it to see if there are any hidden dangers in the hotel." ”

At this time, Wang Songke didn't dare to be careless at all, he found his subordinates and ordered him to send out all the craftsmen in the hotel. Work was temporarily suspended tonight, and he placed twice as many guards inside and outside the pavilion for fear that any assassins would infiltrate the pavilion.

In fact, the work of protecting Lin Haotian and Song Hao does not need him to worry about it at all. The guards of Jin and Xinchi will deal with it on their own, but the matter is very important, and Wang Song does not dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

After the double protection of the local county army and the guard battalion, the huge pavilion has been full of sentry posts, and there are many soldiers inside and outside, not to mention people, not even a rat does not want to get into it.

Wang Song inspected three times before and after, and confirmed that nothing was wrong and nothing was missing. Only then did he feel a little relieved and said goodbye to Lin Haotian and Song Hao.

Night.

Lin Haotian was lying on the bed, and suddenly, there was a slight sound above his head.

The sound was very low, just like the sound of the night wind blowing through the eaves a little stronger, if Lin Haotian was already asleep at this time, then even he would not be able to detect such a slight sound, but now Lin Haotian happened to be not asleep.

The unusual sound aroused Lin Haotian's vigilance. He was nervous, no. There was someone in the room! This was Lin Haotian's first instinct.

To be sure, the person in the room was not his own subordinates, and it was impossible for the guards to patrol the roof of their bedroom, so there was only one possibility, it was the Assassin!

Lin Haotian didn't break it, and continued to lie flat on the bed. Make a long, well-proportioned breathing sound, make the illusion that you are asleep, and then wait and see what happens.

"Gurrah, cluck!"

After a series of subtle imperceptible sounds, the roof tile directly above the bed was slowly lifted, and then it was followed by it. A repeater poked in from the roof, and the edge of the repeater was aimed at Lin Haotian on the bed.

Lin Haotian narrowed his eyes, and secretly said that it was indeed an assassin! But what made him strange was how the assassin came in, the pavilion was heavily guarded, the guards were dense, the outer layer was the county army, and the inner layer was the guard battalion of the Jin Army and the New Red Army.

There was no way to find out how the assassin had come in, Lin Haotian's eyes were firmly fixed on the crossbow machine above, and at the same time, he also held a scimitar beside him in his palm.

Lin Haotian didn't reply, but his arm shook, and the scimitar in his palm had already flown out of his hand, swirling in the air, and rolled towards the roof.

There was a crisp sound in the ear chakra, and the scimitar struck the roof tile into pieces, castration continued, and continued to fly outward, followed by the screams of people above the roof, and the click of the tiles being trampled.

This alarmed the surrounding guards, and they heard someone outside the house shouting, "There is an assassin—" With this shout, it was as if the pot had suddenly exploded outside, and the footsteps roared and shouted everywhere.

The assassin came too suddenly, and his actions were too secretive, and he was able to bypass so many well-trained guards, sneaking into the roof of Lin Haotian's bedroom without realizing it, and he must have made careful plans and deployments in advance.

As soon as Lin Haotian escaped, the door was vigorously slammed open, Lin Haotian subconsciously lifted another scimitar up, and looked up, it turned out that it was Shao Lin and many guards who rushed in.

"Are you okay?" everyone asked in unison, and at the same time, they all gathered around Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian didn't bother to answer, and asked rhetorically, "Have you captured the assassin?"

Shao Lin hurriedly replied: "The two generals, Su Wan and Zeng Die, have taken their brothers to hunt down!"

Lin Haotian pondered for a moment, squinted his eyes and looked at the roof of his head, and said in a deep voice: "The assassin should be injured and can't run far, you are here to protect His Royal Highness King Song, and I will chase the assassin!"

Outside the house, there were already hundreds of guards around, Lin Haotian came out and looked around, and asked loudly, "In which direction did the assassin run away?"

"My lord, it's over there!" stood on the eaves of the demon warrior in black armor, pointing to the west and shouting back in a loud voice.

Lin Haotian didn't say anything more, his body suddenly became empty, and the person disappeared out of thin air, and when he reappeared, he had already appeared on the roof.

He continued to cast Feng Ling and walked quickly, his body disappearing from time to time, and he went straight to the west to chase after him.

As soon as Lin Haotian moved, the surrounding demon underworld warriors moved together, and this group of demon-based underworld martial artists was so fast that it seemed to be blowing a whirlwind.

At this time, there were three underworld warriors standing on the side of the stone bridge, and on both sides of the stone bridge, there were a large number of guards, including Su Wan and Zeng Die, the two main generals of the Jin State guard battalion.

"You're so daring. He actually ran into the hall to assassinate Ben Shuai!" After Lin Haotian arrived, he put his single knife behind his back, separated the guards in front of him, and walked out of the crowd.

Seeing Lin Haotian arrive, Su Wan, Zeng Die, and all the guards intervened one after another, and said in unison: "My lord!"

The three Immortal Warriors standing in the middle of the stone bridge also saw Lin Haotian. At this time, all three of them were in black armor, armed with black scimitars, and only two eyes were exposed.

As Lin Haotian appeared, the murderous intent in the eyes of the three of them was even stronger, and one of them shouted: "The golden thief has no way, he holds the Son of Heaven hostage, bullies his neighbors, and everyone will be punished!" As he spoke, a black mist erupted around the person. Immediately afterwards, he suddenly appeared in front of Lin Haotian, and the big knife in his hand stabbed the latter's chest.

It turned out to be a demon-type underworld martial artist! Lin Haotian sneered and said, "Look for death!"

Before he could finish speaking, the person had already slid sideways more than half a meter away, dodging the opponent's oncoming stabbing knife, and then, his body was surrounded by mist. Instantly turned into armor, protecting its entire body tightly.

One hit missed. The assassin immediately turned his stab into a slash again, sweeping Lin Haotian's waist.

This time, Lin Haotian didn't dodge again, and when the blade was close, he shot like lightning, and his five fingers were like iron tongs, and he held the blade tightly.

Don't look at him just holding the blade with one hand. But the broadsword could no longer slash forward, and the assassin was shocked, and his arm was forced, trying to take the broadsword back, but Lin Haotian's fingerprint holding the blade did not move. The broadsword seemed to grow in his hand, and no matter how hard the assassin tried, he couldn't pull it back.

Just as the assassin was trying to pull the big knife out of Lin Haotian's hand, the latter suddenly let go, the assassin couldn't retract his strength, leaned back, and took a few steps back, before he could stabilize his body, Lin Haotian had already rushed to him like lightning, and hit the assassin's lower abdomen with a single fist.

The assassin screamed, and his body flew out as if it were a cannonball from its muzzle.

Lin Haotian's heavy punch knocked the assassin directly from under the bridge back to the top of the bridge, if it weren't for the two companions of the assassin working together to catch him, he wouldn't have to fly far!

The other two Assassins put him down and looked down to see that the armor in the latter's lower abdomen had been shattered, and the armor on his body had begun to vaporize and dissipate into nothingness.

What his strength is, the two companions know best, but he was seriously injured under Lin Haotian before he even walked over for a round, which shows that Lin Haotian's spiritual martial arts are terrifying.

The remaining two Assassins glanced at each other, turned their hearts on each other, picked up their unconscious companions, and jumped off the stone bridge.

With two plops, plops, three assassins fell into the river, Lin Haotian saw this, his sword eyebrows erected, he didn't think about it, he lifted his legs and jumped on the railing of the stone bridge, and he was about to jump down.

But he leaned forward, and immediately shrank back, and then he remembered that he didn't know how to water, and if he really jumped into the river, it wasn't certain who would chase and kill whom!

He jumped down from the railing again, and shouted to the surrounding demon warriors and guards, "There are brothers who know how to chase after me, no matter what, I must also capture the assassin for me!"

"Yes!" For a moment, there was a sound of falling water, and a large number of guards threw off their armor and jumped into the river to capture the assassin.

Even if Lin Haotian had night eyes, he couldn't see the situation in the water clearly, he waited at the stone bridge for a while, and saw that the guards who went out to pursue him had not returned for a long time, so he went back to the hotel first to wait for news.

When Lin Haotian returned to the hotel, there were more soldiers gathered inside and outside the hotel, in addition to the people in the guard camp, there were also a large number of soldiers and soldiers directly under the army and local army.

At this time, Wang Song, who got the news, had also hurried over.

As the so-called fear of something, Wang Song was afraid that the adult would have an accident in his own land, but an assassin appeared, and the assassin successfully infiltrated the hotel, almost assassinating the adult.

Wang Song was now anxious, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to flow down his cheeks.

Hearing the news of Lin Haotian's return, Wang Song was the first to go out, and after seeing Lin Haotian, he subconsciously asked, "Have you caught the assassin?"

Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically: "As the head of the county, there are assassins in your territory, do you dare to ask Ben Shuai if he has caught the assassins?"

Wang Song's body trembled, fell to his knees with a thud, and said repeatedly: "It's the dereliction of duty of the lower officials, please forgive your sins, and ask your lords to forgive your sins!"

"Hmph!" Lin Haotian snorted coldly, didn't say anything more, and brushed his sleeves away.

Wang Song was dumbfounded, knelt on the ground, stunned, and did not move for a long time.

Lin Haotian returned to the bedroom, at this time, the guards in the house had already withdrawn, and the roof that leaked out of the hole had been repaired, and the scimitar that Lin Haotian had thrown out earlier was also picked up by the guards and placed on the table.

Not long after Lin Haotian returned to the room, Shao Lin walked in and whispered in Lin Haotian's ear: "My lord, Lord Wang asks to see you." ”

Hearing that Wang Song wanted to see him, Lin Haotian's face became cold again, and he said expressionlessly, "Let him come in." ”

"Yes!" Shao Lin agreed, turned around and walked out, and after a short time, Wang Song took small steps and ran into the house.

"Xiaguan knocks to see your lord......" Before Wang Song's words were finished, Lin Haotian waved his hand impatiently: "Get up and speak." ”

"Lord Xie!" Wang Song stood up tremblingly, swallowed his saliva, and said, "My lord, the lower officials have investigated clearly, and the assassin did not sneak into the pavilion from the outside, but hid inside the pavilion......"

Lin Haotian stared at Wang Song and asked coldly, "Aren't you already patrolling the Assassin hiding in the Pavilion?" Besides, the Pavilion is heavily guarded, how did the Assassin sneak in?"

Wang Song wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and stammered, "Yes...... It was the Assassin who disguised himself as a craftsman, so ...... That's why I sneaked into the hotel, this, this is the negligence of the lower officials, and I want to ...... I hope that your sins will be forgiven. ”

What a cunning assassin, presumably the assassin knew that he and Song Hao would pass through Chengdu, and he was sure that he would stay in the Chengdu Hotel, so he had already made arrangements, and this assassination was a well-planned action. If it weren't for the fact that he was awake at the time, I am afraid that he and Song Hao really fell into the path of an assassin, and now they have been dead for a long time.

He narrowed his eyes and said word by word, "No matter what, these assassins must be captured." "Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!

He was muttering to himself, but Wang Song thought that Lin Haotian was saying it to him, so he hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Your Excellency, don't worry, even if the lower official digs three feet into the ground, he will definitely catch the assassin in front of your lord." ”

Wang Song's words are still what Lin Haotian likes to hear, he nodded and said, "Go and check, within two days, be sure to give Ben Shuai a result." ”

"Obey the order!" Wang Song replied with relief, for two days, he was not afraid that the assassin would be able to fly away, he was afraid that the adults would punish him now.

Wang Song hurriedly received the order, he commanded the Zeping county army, closed all the gates out of the city, blocked the waterways outside, and at the same time, a large number of county troops launched a city-wide search in the city. (To be continued......)
