Jiang Lin, like Guo Song, was the second of the first group of guards to follow Pei Yu when he conquered the world, and the two of them were screened out to follow Pei Zhan since childhood.

This body's ability is naturally practiced in the past few years in the northwest.

There is already something wrong with the Xu family's house, and it is because it is more likely that there are no lights in places where there are no lights.

The village is quieter at night than during the day, but the ground is soft after the rain and silent when it lands.

Jiang Lin led two people to enter from the southeast corner door, in the gatehouse lit with oil lamps, a family with gray temples leaned back on a bamboo chaise longue and was napping, and the three of them bypassed the side wall, relying on the memory of the day, they chose to pass through the kitchen all the way to the north.

As soon as I got out of the kitchen, near the cross-courtyard wall, there was a sudden sound of a dog barking, holding my breath for a moment, and there was a sound of footsteps on the other side of the wall, and after a while, there was a rough voice and a low voice: "Shut up!" And he said, "Get down!" ”

Then there were a few slow, heavy footsteps, and finally there was silence again.

Jiang Lin and the two brothers behind him glanced at each other, and they all slowly pulled out the sword in their waists.

In this silent night, all the movements in the ears became extremely clear, and the footsteps were not just one person, at least three. Moreover, the sound of these footsteps is heavy, and the ups and downs are very smooth, and when you hear it, you are physically strong, and there are quite a few people who have cultivated.

However, when they entered the mansion during the day, they did not see any sturdy people, and the nursing homes that had shown their faces were all of ordinary size.

Jiang Lin jumped on the wall, searched for the vicious dog lying on his stomach in the corner of the wall, broke a piece of rubble from the wall, and hit the back of the vicious dog's neck, the dog snorted, and fell to the ground.

At the same time, several people hurried along the corner of the wall to the north of the granary.

Liu Quan and the others are also three people, and after meeting, Liu Quan said anxiously: "There are indeed more than the number of people on the list in this courtyard!" Just now we came from the vegetable garden, and there were more than a dozen sets of one-color short clothes hanging on the bamboo poles! When the barking of the dog sounded in front, five people came out of the yard next to the well! All tall and muscular! ”

Jiang Lin looked at his companion: "That's right!" - Everyone be careful, explore again, I'll go to Zhou Yi's residence and see if there is anything boring! ”

After making up a rough idea of the number of people hidden in the house and where they were, they poured a bucket of lamp oil on the pyre in the kitchen and began to split up.

Zhou Yi's place to live is easy to find, in addition to the main courtyard, the most neatly cleaned courtyard is.

Of course, in fact, these people all live in the same area, but the courtyard of the room is large and small.

Several nursing homes that have crossed the Ming Road also live nearby, which requires extra care, but Zhou Yi doesn't know martial arts, which also has an advantage.

Jiang Lin touched the door, heard the sound of even breathing coming from the room, confirmed that there was no abnormality, and then went to the bed, took out a night pearl and looked at the bed, only to see that it was Zhou Yi lying sideways, so he raised his eyes to check his surroundings.

Although it is the ancestral residence of the Sanpin master, this housekeeper's room is still a cut worse than the pomp and circumstance of the big families in the capital.

There are only a few pieces of furniture in the house, and there are only a few drawers that can be hidden.

Jiang Lin returned to the side of the bed and carefully scanned the bed, there was a box on the inside of the pillow, which was opened lightly, but it was just an account book and a few pages of correspondence.

After a cursory glance, it wasn't much use, but it was all in his arms.

Looking around again, there was really no place to hide the dirt, and his eyes fell on a few clothes on the bedside, and he walked over with a thought.

This is a set of inner and outer clothes, the outer robe is familiar, and it is exactly what Zhou Yi wears during the day.

Jiang Lin rummaged twice, but there was no abnormality.

But when he changed his clothes back, the silver light flashed in front of him, and an object fell heavily, and he hurriedly reached out and caught it in his hand before it landed!

This is Zhou Yi's purse.

Jiang Lin quickly opened the purse and poured the contents on his clothes, of course there was money in the purse, but there was a lot of money in the purse of this steward, several broken silver, a small handful of golden melon seeds, and a few silver tickets rolled together.

Xu Yin is a popular figure in the capital, and he is not short of money to spend, but his usual food and clothing are not necessarily very luxurious.

When the master doesn't enjoy it, he specially arranges the housekeeper who comes to guard the ancestral house, but he has such a lot of money?

However, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, Xu Yin has purchased a large amount of land here, and there are no relatives here to supervise and take care of it, so it is not strange that he is greedy for some oil and water as a government manager.

There was nothing else in the purse except the money.

Xu Yin, who was full of suspicions, was the person he personally arranged to come over really so clean?

Jiang Lin was a little confused.

This was a movement on the bed, Zhou Yi let out a groan, and began to turn over.

Jiang Lin hurriedly hid behind the bed rail.

When the commotion had subsided, he looked again, and by this time the moonlight had already shone into the room, and even where it had not been directly illuminated, the outline began to be revealed.

Zhou Yi, who turned over, also brought the quilt to the side, only to see that the straw mat he had just pressed was upturned at one end at this time, obviously there was something under the mat.

Jiang Lin stepped forward, and with a quick pull of his left hand, a round carved bronze medal arrived in his hand.

When you get the moonlight, the carving on the brand is immediately revealed! ……

“…… Who is here?! ”

In the midst of the consternation, a hoarse exclamation came from the bed!

Jiang Lin quickly turned his head, only to see that Zhou Yi had already sat up at this time, and quickly hit the fire fold in his hand!

Jiang Lin hurriedly tucked the sign into his arms, and climbed through the window to the yard!

"Someone! There are gangsters! ”

Behind him was Zhou Yi's hiss shout, and the two brothers who were guarding outside the courtyard gate immediately greeted Jiang Lin.

After gesturing to each other, they all rushed towards the retreat route they had agreed before!

This side of the kitchen is the closest direction to the road out of the village, and Liu Quan and the others have already rushed over here when they heard the movement!

But just as they were converging, several samurai suddenly jumped from the spurs, instantly blocking their way.

And as soon as they handed it over, seven or eight more people came on the other side, so let's see how to surround them around!

"Withdraw!"

Jiang Lin glanced at the firewood room, and at the same time took out the fire fold and threw it towards the firewood room!

The brothers understood, and each took out the fire fold he had brought with him, beat it, and threw it into the firewood room!

The firewood room was on fire on all sides, and with the help of the lamp oil that had been poured down earlier, the tongues of fire suddenly jumped up, blocking the chasing samurai behind them!

This side of the firewood house is the door where people enter and exit on weekdays, and the vehicles loaded with grain and vegetables enter and exit from here, so the door is wide, as long as you break through this door, you can successfully get out!

But out of the range of the fire, under the originally ordinary brick wall, a row of iron fences higher than the head of the wall was released from under the ground!

The fence is surrounded on all sides, so it's more of an iron cage than an iron fence!

"They even installed a bracket!"

The unexpected situation made everyone grit their teeth and curse!

In the past, there were six of them, and there was a way to get out of trouble, after all, with such a lineup, even if they climbed a city wall, they could climb it!

The point is that the flames of the fire burning in the firewood room behind them have already spread, and it will take time for them to get out of the iron cage, so the consequence is that even if they may rush out, they will also bear the risk of being burned by the fire!

"What should I do?"

The brothers all looked at Jiang Lin. After a while, the samurai who had just been blocked had already bypassed the fire and chased after them from the other side!

Jiang Lin gritted his teeth: "You go first, I'll take the back!" How many can walk is a few! ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the things he was carrying on his body and stuffed them with his brain: "Give these things to the general and the young lady without missing anything!" Don't make a mistake! ”

"Lao Jiang!"

"Stop talking nonsense! ……”

"It's not! Look over there! ”

One of the brothers dragged him with one hand, the other pointing to his side and back, both eyes wide open!

Jiang Lin quickly turned around, only to see a man holding a stick standing on the other side of the iron cage, the red fire light illuminated his face covered with scars, under the light and shadow of jumping, he looked as ugly and terrifying as the devil of hell!

"Is it him?!"

Jiang Lin's heart was shocked. This is the ugly man carrying the clay pot during the day!

At the moment when he was surprised, this Ding walked towards the iron cage, and when he reached the bottom of the cage, he suddenly threw the stick in his hand at him through the gap in the iron rod!

Jiang Lin subconsciously caught it, but saw that the family Ding pointed to an iron ring on the corner of the iron cage, then looked at him deeply, and quickly turned around and disappeared into the dark night behind him!

Jiang Lin immediately walked under the iron ring, and after looking at it, he inserted the stick into the iron ring-

Just listen to the bang!

The iron cage retracted back into the ground, and there was no sign of it!

Without thinking, a few people quickly jumped onto the wall, faced the samurai guarding the wall, and fought their way out of the encirclement after dropping two thunderbolts! ……

After stepping on the horses hidden between the lotus fields, Jiang Lin looked back at the house where smoke was rising, turned the horse's head and ran in the direction of the county seat!

"Lao Liu took two people to stay behind and continue to watch, and the rest followed me back to Beijing!"

……

In the blink of an eye, Pei Zhan had been stationed in King Rong's Mansion for more than half a month.

On that day, King Rong's father and son were suddenly summoned into the palace by the crown prince, and then the funeral in the palace went on step by step, and there were still many guests who came to mourn every day.

If there is any difference, it is that Xu Yin has appeared in the Rongwang Mansion less often, he has returned to the Yamen, and he has been busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet recently.

During this period, the crown prince, who temporarily took charge of the affairs of the Zongren Mansion in place of King Rong, summoned him twice.

After talking that night, Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan tacitly did not mention the prince again. Later, Liang Zhi asked her once when he came over, and it seemed that Pei Zhan and them had also passed the anger, but they didn't say much to each other.

The improper behavior of a royal family is a matter of national system, let alone the prince of a country?

The emperor is over sixty years old, and he is often sick, maybe at some point the Great Zhou will face a change of imperial power, and the current prince is likely to become the new emperor overnight.

At present, there are a lot of suspicions in the crown prince, but there is no conclusive evidence, and if this kind of suspicion is leaked out, it is likely to attract the first fire burned after the new emperor takes office in the future.

The emperor is a benevolent and righteous king, and the empress is also very virtuous, and the heroes have been alive and well for more than 20 years after ascending the throne, and they are still entrusted with important tasks.

But everyone understands the truth that when the moon is full and the water is full, everyone understands the truth that the five generals' mansions dare to rely on the achievements of the war and the establishment of the country?

Pei Yu is now with Mrs. Pei every day, to put it bluntly, it is not because Pei Zhan later made great achievements in the northwest, and the scenery of the Pei family is too prosperous, so Pei Yu, the founding general, had to retreat and hide his edge.

The hearts of the people are unpredictable, and the emperor and queen are sage, and it is difficult to ensure that some people in the court will not be able to see that these heroes enjoy all their power and wealth, and they are stumbling behind their backs. At present, the Great Zhou of the concentricity of monarchs and ministers is not only cast by one of them, and the court of Haiqing Heyan has always been the achievement of monarchs and ministers.

Therefore, it could have been possible to investigate the bloody case of Baiyu Hutong in a big way, but the prince's figure in this became clearer, and everyone couldn't help but reined in.

During this time, because he was busy with Princess Rong's funeral, there was no new progress on the palace side.

The clues that can be obtained in the palace are almost all obtained, except that the purpose of the emperor's dispatch of troops to the palace is not yet uncertain, Pei Zhan has almost entered a state of routine.

Yu Yu lived in the Liang family for nearly twenty years, and Lu Chongyang was treated closely, and his body was all healed.

But now King Rong's people and Xu Yin's people are secretly looking for him, and Liang Chen doesn't let him out.

For a low-level military general like Yu Yu, Liang Chen and Pei Zhan, the two marshals who swept away the Great Moon Kingdom, were like gods, and no matter how these two explained him, he never said a word.

It's just that he always wants to see Fu Zhen, and this day I heard Liang Zhi talking about wanting Brother Xuan, because this kid didn't come back after he went to Pei's house, and his mother went to pick him up several times and he refused to leave, so Liang Zhi wanted to tie him up.

Yu Yu plucked up his courage a few times and said, "Can I go with the general to visit General Pei's wife?" ”

Liang Zhi was madly infatuated with Yongping's stupid girl earlier, and he was still a little prejudiced, and said, "What is there to see about her? ”

Yu Yu said: "General Pei's wife is my benefactor, thanks to her care, now that I am injured, I want to say hello to him in person." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Si came in, walked in front of Liang Zhi and arched his hand: "General Pei's wife sent someone to invite the master to come over the mansion!" ”

Liang Zhi said: "What's the matter?" ”

"I didn't say it, but I was in a hurry, so let me go over immediately!"

Liang Zhi walked out on tiptoe.

Yu Yu said: "General-"

Liang Zhi didn't reply: "Next time!" Didn't you see me in a hurry! ”
