Chapter 71: A Cloud-Piercing Arrow
Chen Mu replied with a smile: "The master of the Lin family is polite, I came this time to inspect the private soldiers. I don't know if the head of the Lin family has reduced his private soldiers in accordance with the new regulations? ”
Lin Yemei replied with a smile: "Oh, His Royal Highness the Prince, in the past, the world was not peaceful, bandits were rampant, and our big family had to recruit private soldiers to protect themselves." ”
"But now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has reformed repeatedly, and the world is peaceful, where do we still need private soldiers? I have now been dismissed by all the private soldiers of the Lin family, and I have saved a lot of expenses. ”
Chen Mu smiled, if you want to save money, why not be dismissed early? Why wait for the imperial court to issue a decree before dismissing?
There must be something wrong with this forest leaf.
"Okay, thank you for the cooperation of the head of the Lin family, if the heads of the family and officials in the world cooperate like the head of the Lin family, then the world is really peaceful."
"Alright, let's check it out."
Lin Ye smiled all over his face, "Okay, good, His Royal Highness the Prince, please." ”
Lin Ye led the way in front, and Chen Mu followed behind, turning the entire Lin family's mansion around.
Chen Mu is not the only one who is inspecting, but the guards he brought with him are also from the army and have been practicing all year round. He is also very experienced in what kind of private soldiers are trained on a daily basis.
Not to mention that following Chen Mu these days, he has caught a lot of private soldiers pretending to be family members.
Chen Mu and the others walked all the way to check the figure, temperament, etc. of the Lin family, and indeed they did not see any trained private soldiers.
After checking the warehouses inside and outside the Lin Mansion, no weapons, armor or other items were found.
Chen Mu touched his chin, nodded and said, "Yes, the head of the Lin family really dismissed all the private soldiers." ”
Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Chen Mu would forcibly place him on charge, then his plan would not be realized.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how dare I lie to you? Since there is no problem with the private soldiers, and you have worked hard for a long time, if you don't think the food in the cold house is shabby, how about going to the hall for a drink? ”
Chen Mu: "Okay, since the head of the Lin family has been graciously invited, then I will be disrespectful." ”
Lin Ye was very happy, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please!" ”
Chen Mu and the others followed Lin Ye to the hall, and a family member brought the prepared wine and food, and then the maid beside Chen Mu took out tools and tested each wine and dish for poison.
After the inspection, there was no problem, and the maid nodded at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu said a few words in Dongyue Tuling, and then said to Lin Ye with a smile: "My father always tells me to be careful, and I have no choice but to do it." You have to test for poison before eating, which is actually quite troublesome. The head of the Lin family smiled. ”
Lin Ye didn't care, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a golden body, this is a matter of course." Come! I toast you! ”
The two were polite while drinking and eating.
Of course, Lin Ye didn't care about Chen Mu's poison test, because he didn't plan to use poison in the first place, what he wanted to use was Bing.
After a while, the hot dishes were all cold, and a family came in to serve new dishes, and then brought out the cold dishes.
One of the housekeepers turned the corner, handed the plate to someone else, and crept into a room. He walked over to the bed and lifted the board.
"It's almost time, let's all come out."
Inside, there were 500 private soldiers, all wearing leather armor, some holding single knives, some holding single axes, and in the other hand there was a shield.
It can be seen that Lin Ye has invested a lot of money, these private soldiers, equipment, and this tunnel are all silver.
On the other side, above the hall, Lin Ye saw the family member go out, and began to calculate the time.
His eyes casually glanced at the white jade wine glass next to him.
This set of white jade wine glasses was bought by Lin Ye at a great price, and he was a little reluctant.
Chen Mu had been paying attention to Lin Ye, and when he looked at his eyes, he understood. He said a few words of Dongyue native to a maid, and the maid nodded, walked to the courtyard and stood.
Lin Ye didn't care too much about it, and continued to chat with Chen Mu. When he saw Jiading serving cold dishes again, Lin Ye suddenly grabbed the white jade wine glass and slammed it to the ground.
The cabinet doors on both sides of the hall suddenly opened, and a group of private soldiers rushed out from inside, protecting Lin Ye, and a group of private soldiers also rushed in from outside the courtyard gate, confronting Chen Mu's guards.
Chen Mu smiled, "Lin Ye, you are so bold. ”
Lin Ye looked up to the sky and smiled, "Hahahaha...... Chen Mu, you forced me! ”
Chen Mu: "What if you kill me?" Will you end well? ”
Lin Ye: "Kill you here today, and I'll leave with my soldiers." My whole family, young and old, has been protected by the Yin Tang organization. What am I afraid of? ”
Chen Mu sneered, "Leave? The whole world is not the king's land, where can you run? ”
Lin Ye also sneered: "You don't know the strength of the Yin Tang Organization at all, now that countless big families have joined the Yin Tang Organization, your Chen family's Great Xia Dynasty is about to end." ”
Chen Mu nodded, "Very good, thank you for telling me this." ”
As he spoke, Chen Mu shouted to the maid in the courtyard in Dongyue native language, and the maid took out a small crossbow from her arms and shot a whistle arrow into the sky.
The bolt made a sharp thud and sent it into the sky.
This kind of whistle arrow is unique to the Dongyue region, and it was originally not available in Great Xia, and it is one of the specialties brought back by Chen Mu this time.
As soon as this whistle sounded, many people outside the Lin family's mansion immediately moved.
There were carts selling goods, some sitting in roadside shops eating, and some taking a casual walk, all put down their things and rushed towards the gate of Lin's house.
Some took out weapons from their cars, some took out shields from their baggage, and others began to give orders to gather everyone together according to the Shiwu unit.
These people are the soldiers of the Invincible Flying Army.
Chen Mu had long known that there might be a Hongmen banquet, so before he arrived at a big family, he let these soldiers disguise themselves as ordinary people and wait outside the mansion.
Lin Ye didn't expect this kind of thing at all, there were only ordinary family members at the gate, and as soon as these family members saw the wolf-like soldiers, they immediately ran away.
The soldiers of the Invincible Flying Army rushed into the Lin family without difficulty.
The left protector of the Yin Tang organization was staring at the Lin family's courtyard, and when he saw this situation, he immediately pretended to be a family member and fled.
The soldiers of the invincible flying army did not kill indiscriminately, and went straight to the location where the sentry arrow was issued.
In the courtyard where Chen Mu was, there was already a mess, and 50 guards retreated to the gate of the hall, with their backs to Chen Mu, resisting the private soldiers coming from the courtyard gate.
Twenty maids took out daggers from the holsters on their legs and tightly surrounded Chen Mu.
Chen Mu himself also pulled out the long sword at his waist, ready to join the battle at any time.
Lin Ye didn't expect that these maids would also be able to do martial arts, but he didn't panic, because he had a total of 500 sword and axe hands, which should be enough to deal with dozens of people.
