The thick wooden fence of the military village was firmly nailed into the soil, the military flag tied on it stretched out in the wind, and two lightly armored soldiers were guarding the gate of the barracks, who were stopping Qin Tao and Tang Xuexin at this moment.

Qin Tao stood calmly, constantly looking into the barracks, and at the same time there was a shallow arc hanging from the corner of his mouth. And Tang Xuexin is dressed in a man's attire, with long hair tucked into a cotton hat, plus the wind and food that have been sleeping in the past few days, it looks no different from a small house.

Coming here was Qin Tao's idea, since they arrived in Beidaying, Qin Tao had to see Lu Lin once, because he wanted to find out his life experience.

With the sound of heavy footsteps, Qin Tao followed the voice, and the familiar figure approaching made him excited, and his shallow eye sockets were already slightly damp.

Tang Xuexin secretly pulled Qin Tao's little finger, and then whispered without moving her lips: "It's not time yet." ”

Qin Tao calmed down, inhaled hard, nodded lightly in response to Tang Xuexin, and then still looked at Marshal Lu Lin who was about to walk out with a smile on his face.

Lu Lin came to the entrance of the barracks, looked at the strange two teenagers and couldn't help frowning slightly, and then asked in a deep voice, "What are you looking for the old man?"

Without waiting for Qin Tao to speak, Tang Xuexin interjected: "Marshal Lu Lin, I'm afraid this is not your hospitality, the two of us are here for important things, and it is also beneficial and harmless to you Marshal Lu Lin." ”

The powerful statement was well spoken, and there was no fear in front of the imperial marshal, not only Qin Tao, but even Lu Lin couldn't help but cast an approving glance at this handsome young man.

As soon as Tang Xuexin said this, Lu Lin suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the straightforwardness just now, and said with a smile: "Lu Lin is sluggish, I hope the two of you don't blame you, please barracks!"

The middle-aged man on the side approached Lu Lin and wanted to say something, but Lu Lin waved his hand to stop him and said, "It's okay." ”

Tang Xuexin smiled, revealing two shallow dimples on the side of her mouth, which made her little guy suddenly add a beautiful taste.

Qin Tao next to him couldn't help but rub his face, and snickered in his heart that Lu Lin could be made to bow his head and admit his mistake by a sharp-toothed little girl, which was really incredible.

Lu Lin naturally led them to the big tent of the barracks, but when he was close to the door, Tang Xuexin said: "Marshal Lu, we have something important to tell you, please take us to your rest tent, and no one is allowed to enter." ”

Hearing this, Lu Lin's eyes changed, and he was naturally full of doubts in his heart. He could see that the two teenagers in front of him were cultivators, and their strength was only at the soul envoy level, so there was no threat to him, a soul, but the requirements of the two were really a little unpredictable.

Exhaling a cold breath, Lu Lin ordered everyone to retreat, and led Qin Tao and the others to the side tent on the side of the big tent, and at the same time instructed the middle-aged man: "Wentai, you will wait at the tent for a while, and no one will be allowed to enter without my order." ”

"Yes, Father. The middle-aged man bowed to Lu Lin and took the order.

The light in Qin Tao's eyes changed unconsciously, he had already recognized this middle-aged man, it was Lu Lin's second son, his second uncle, Lu Wentai.

Coming to Lu Lin's resting military tent, Tang Xuexin looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and then glanced at Qin Tao and stood aside.

Qin Tao, who was buried by excitement, could no longer suppress the emotion in his heart, and his shallow eye sockets couldn't hold back those crystals that were about to gush out, so he immediately knelt down to Lu Lin and shouted, "Grandpa!"

Lu Lin was stunned, looked at the young man kneeling in front of him and couldn't help frowning slightly, and then hurriedly went to help Qin Tao, and said at the same time: "Little brother, get up quickly!"

Two lines of crystal tears flowed on Junlang's face, Qin Tao held Lu Lin's arm, shook his head, and said in a trembling voice: "No, grandpa, don't you recognize me, I'm Qin Tao!"

Lu Lin's arm was no longer strong, and his eyes full of surprise looked at the young man in front of him without blinking, and asked in the same trembling voice, "You, are you really Tao'er?"

Qin Tao wiped the tears from his mouth, nodded vigorously, and then took off the red bandana on his head without hesitation, revealing the flame scar.

Lu Lin's body stiffened in place, looking at the familiar scar in disbelief, a complex emotion of sourness and excitement suddenly welled up in his heart, and there were even some old tears in the corners of his eyes.

Flame scar, Qin Tao's special sign, Lu Lin has known this characteristic since the day he raised Qin Tao, even if he has changed his appearance now, Lu Lin firmly believes that the young man in front of him is his grandson.

Pulling Qin Tao up hard, Lu Lin wiped away the tears on the young man's face, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he said excitedly and gratifyingly: "My Tao'er has grown up, good, good." ”

Qin Tao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, calmed down his complicated state of mind, and then said to Lu Lin with a little guilt: "Grandpa, my grandson has caused trouble for you and the Lu family. ”

Lu Lin smiled faintly, patted Qin Tao's shoulder, and said, "It's okay, it's what my family and I are most happy about when you can do something, after all, we are a family." ”

Seeing that the grandfather and grandson had regained their composure, Tang Xuexin walked over and said in a suppressed voice: "Marshal Lu, this time Qin Tao's visit to the Haoling Empire is a secret, and I hope you can strictly guard it." ”

Lu Lin nodded heavily at the Qingxiu little girl, and then said in a deep voice: "That's natural, I must not let my grandson have any problems." ”

"Report!"

The high-pitched voice of the soldier outside the tent suddenly broke the calm in the tent, and then Lu Lin heard the soldier's report: "Marshal Yu, Yanjing's case investigation has arrived!"

Qin Tao naturally heard the soldier's report clearly, and he also understood what the envoy of this case was doing, so he immediately frowned and asked Lu Lin: "Grandpa, what is this?"

Lu Lin patted Qin Tao's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just some trivial matters." Tao'er, you wait here first, and I'll come when I go. With that, he strode out of the tent.

After Lu Lin left, Qin Tao sat on the soft military couch, looked at the ground under his feet, and said thoughtfully: "Xue Xin, I always feel that this case prosecutor has something to do with Leng Yuntian's death. ”

Tang Xuexin sat down beside Qin Tao, gently shook the young man's hand, and said in a low voice: "It seems that the royal family of the Haoling Empire has already suspected the Beidaying. ”

Qin Tao shook his head and responded, "I think I suspect Grandpa Lu Lin......"

"Let's go and have a look, too?" Tang Xuexin stared at Qin Tao's side face and asked tentatively.

Nodding his head heavily, a cold murderous intent appeared in Qin Tao's eyes, and he tried his best to suppress his voice and shouted: "If he dares to move Grandpa Lu Lin, I will let him die a good death!"

......

In the big tent of the barracks, a thin middle-aged man sat lazily on a comfortable fairy chair, a pair of triangular eyes seemed to look at Lu Lin in the main seat, but the corners of his slightly pursed mouth showed disdain for the imperial marshal.

Lu Lin naturally knew that this case inspector was a well-known villain, and even though he hated it in his heart, he had to be kind to him out of loyalty to the royal family.

"Lord Zhang came to the barracks from afar, but Lu Lin didn't greet him in time, and I hope that my lord can have more Haihan. Lu Lin bowed his hand slightly to the case inspector, which was regarded as an opening.

The case inspector surnamed Zhang snorted, a cloud of white gas erupted from his pointed nose, and his eyes still didn't look at Lu Lin, but just squeezed out a somewhat sharp voice in his throat: "Marshal Lu, I came this time I must have known that King Nanhuai is missing, His Majesty the King is very angry, and he sent me to investigate." ”

Lu Lin's heart sank, the suspicion of the royal family made him, a loyal marshal, feel cold, but even this would not shake his loyalty to the Haoling Empire.

Facing the case inspector again, Lu Lin asked, "I don't know how the case inspector wants to investigate?"

It seemed that he was facing Lu Lin with his nostrils, and the case inspector simply closed his eyes when he heard this, but he snorted coldly without any words.

Seeing this, Lu Wentai on the side hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Zhang, my father has been on the front line all year round, and he still hopes for your guidance in some unclear places." ”

The case inspector raised one eye to look at the weak Lu Wentai, and then tilted his neck and asked Lu Lin: "Marshal Lu, I came to see you this time, so don't intervene in other idle people." ”

This word made Lu Lin angry, and his big hand pressed the armor stiffly, but there was still a smile on his face. Lu Wentai, who was despised, was still smiling frequently, but there was a chill flashing in his squinted eyes.

Qin Tao, who sneaked into the big tent, was extremely angry when he heard this, if it wasn't for Tang Xuexin holding him hard, he would have rushed up and repaired it to the invincible case-solving detective.

Tang Xuexin whispered close to Qin Tao's ear: "The imperial king he represents, although he is not as big as the marshal and official, but at the moment his power is very great, for Lu Lin, you can't touch him now." ”

The angry fist gradually stretched, Qin Tao calmed the anger in his chest, he understood the reason, for the sake of Lu Lin, let's endure it for a while.

Qin Tao and Tang Xuexin were arranged in a warm military tent not far from Lu Lin's tent, and Lu Wentai came to the tent after dinner. When Lu Linna learned that the young man in the red scarf was Qin Tao, the middle-aged man couldn't help but be overjoyed, and at this time, his heart was even happier to see his nephew.

Qin Tao's impression of the second uncle was a weak scholar with few words, but the strategies in his mind were nightmares that the enemy could not forget. Lu Wentai has been in the army for many years, and naturally has very little contact with Qin Tao, but it does not affect the relationship between his uncle and nephew at all.

"Second uncle, the case inspector during the day is so arrogant that I can't stand it. Qin Tao slapped the table and suddenly spoke.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him by the dim candlelight, Lu Wentai showed a smile and said, "Tao'er, you are not in the imperial court and you don't know the doorway. That guy is a notoriously villainous man, and he is so arrogant that he just wants to make a fortune out of us. ”

"Grandpa has always been upright, so he can bend his knees to him?" Qin Tao asked suspiciously.

Lu Wentai smiled faintly: "Naturally not." But since the royal family suspects us, my father must do something to deal with it. It's just that the prince died too far away. ”

Qin Tao's heart trembled, his eyes wandered to the desktop in front of him, he would never say anything about killing Leng Yuntian, not even Lu Lin.

"Do you need me to do anything?" Qin Tao stretched out his neck and said with all his strength suppressed.

Lu Wentai smiled slightly, then stood up and patted Qin Tao on the shoulder, and left the military tent.
