Inn.

The sound of the clash of gold and iron, and the screams and screams of the wounded, directly tore through the silence of the night and woke up the sleeping people nearby.

The people, not knowing what was happening, sneaked up to the door and opened the door to look out.

Then, they saw the most noisy and prosperous inn in the past, now surrounded by countless torches, countless people in black with weapons in and out, blood stained the gray stone floor, piercing cries for help and pain continued to drill into their ears, this is like the scene of the end of the world, the people who were directly frightened panicked, they hurriedly closed the door, locked the door tightly with the latch, and then hurriedly got into the quilt, hid in the quilt and shivered, praying that the end would not befall their heads.

Kui Su, who was sitting firmly on the tall horse, glanced at the closed doors nearby, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneering smile: "What's the use of hiding in the crowded county town?" Even if there are tens of thousands of people in this county, once they take up arms, we are no match at all...... However, people are selfish, people are afraid of death, who would risk it for the sake of others? ”

He retracted his gaze and looked at the inn, where the sound of the battle had gradually faded, and he knew that the weakening of the sound meant that the battle had reached the late stage, and the outcome would be known.

"Do you really think that I didn't do anything in Linshui County, but I was afraid of the county?"

Kui Su shook his head lightly: "When you were in Linshui County, you gathered a lot of forces in order to find those ants, and I was not sure of victory, so naturally I would not take risks in Linshui County...... But this Shenshan County is different, Shenshan County is full of people and just has such a small number of people, and others will not help you as a stranger for no reason, so this time, you are destined to have no way to live! Lin Feng, no matter how good you are at escaping, you can't escape your fate after all. ”

At this moment, a thin figure suddenly rushed out of the inn.

He carried a large knife larger than him, and the blade was stained with scarlet blood.

He came to Kui Su and hurriedly saluted: "Xingjun, Lin Feng and nearly eighty percent of them have been solved by us, and the rest of them have also been forced into a room and are making the last struggle. ”

"But ......"

The man nicknamed Thin Monkey looked at Kuisu and said, "When we attacked them, some of them shouted that they were not Lin Feng's people at all, they said that Lin Feng had already secretly left the inn, saying that we had fallen for the trick, and Lin Feng deliberately designed to lure us into fighting with them in order to consume our strength. ”

Kuisu listened to the thin monkey's words, and the gaze hidden in the hood suddenly fell on the thin monkey, and suddenly gave the thin monkey a feeling like a thorn in the back.

The thin monkey hurriedly said: "This is all what they shouted, and after the subordinates heard it, they hurriedly came to report to Xingjun." ”

Kui Su held the reins tightly with both hands, because his fingers were too hard, the place where he touched the reins was extremely pale, he was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "When you were fighting, did you ever see Lin Feng, Sun Fujia, or Zhao Fifteen?" ”

The thin monkey hurriedly shook his head: "I haven't ...... However, this is because these people in the inn are not weak in martial arts, and they have a feeling of elite soldiers, they can form a battle formation when they join forces, so it took some effort to deal with them, and the attention of their subordinates was focused on them, and they didn't pay attention to other areas, not sure if Lin Feng and they were hiding elsewhere. ”

"Elite Soldiers......

Kui Su raised his eyes and looked at the inn where the sound of battle was getting lower and lower, and he said slowly: "With Lin Feng's cunning, any accident can indeed happen. ”

The thin monkey was startled, and hurriedly looked at Kui Su: "Does Xingjun really think that Lin Feng has escaped?" We were calculated by Lin Feng? ”

Kui Su suddenly turned his head to look at the thin monkey, and his voice contained a hint of coldness that could not be hidden: "You are personally staring at the person, and you are now asking me if Lin Feng has escaped?" ”

The thin monkey was wet with cold sweat again in an instant, he was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Subordinate...... The subordinates really didn't notice anyone leaving through the front and back doors......"

Kui Su said coldly: "You'd better expect their words to be Lin Feng's trick, deliberately confusing us and making us give up besieging them...... Otherwise, if Lin Feng doesn't die, then it will be you who will die. ”

The thin monkey couldn't help but shudder all over his body, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.

Kuisu looked at the frightened appearance of the thin monkey, snorted coldly, raised his head, looked at the inn, and said, "We can't tell whether their shouts are true or false, so we must not give up here because of this...... Speed up and enter the room as soon as possible, whether Lin Feng is here or not, as long as he kills the last of these people, he will soon be able to determine. ”

The thin monkey hurriedly said, "We can attack them with fire and force them out." ”

"No way!"

Kuisu shook his head directly, and he said, "It is indeed a good way to burn the room, if they don't come out, they will be burned alive...... But what if they really made up their minds to be burned? Once they are burned and disfigured, can you tell what they looked like when they were alive? Can you know who's who? Can you be sure that there must be Lin Feng among these disfigured people? ”

"This ......," the thin monkey hesitated.

Kui Su's eyes were dark, and his voice was cold, "I don't allow the slightest accident to happen, so I use the stupidest but safest way, no matter what, I must make sure that the face of every deceased person is not ruined." ”

The thin monkey hurriedly straightened his back: "The subordinates understand, the subordinates will lead people to charge directly, and they will be solved in a quarter of an hour at the latest!" ”

After speaking, the thin monkey hurriedly rushed back to the inn with a big knife.

Kui Su looked at the back of the thin monkey running, his eyes deepened, he tapped the reins lightly with his fingertips, and suddenly said: "Eagle Falcon, it's time for you to do it, search all the nearby streets, all the shadows under the walls, all the trunks of the big trees, all the top of all the walls, all the hidden places where you can see the situation here...... If Lin Feng really wasn't here, and really designed us to fight against each other, then he would definitely arrange for someone to keep an eye on the situation here and know our results...... Go find out who he arranged! Then secretly follow and find Lin Feng's real hiding place! ”

Standing behind Kuisu, the burly man with two iron hooks tied around his waist and his eyes closed and recuperated suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this, only to see that his eyes were very large, and the moment he opened them, it was as if an eagle falcon had opened his eyes, sharp and sharp.

Hearing Kui Su's words, he grinned directly: "Xingjun rest assured, if there is really such a spy, he will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of his subordinates who have been boiling eagles since childhood." ”

After saying that, he turned around directly and led people away.

Kui Su looked at the back of the Eagle Falcon and the others leaving, suddenly turned his head, and looked at the remaining dozens of subordinates behind him, he hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand, pointed at one person, and said, "You, follow me." ”

So saying, he hurried his horse and walked into the dark alleyway on one side.

…………

Candle flickering in the room.

Lin Feng sat firmly at the table and flipped through the books, Sun Fujia picked up the tea bowl and began to taste tea, while Zhao Xieyang couldn't sit still and paced back and forth in the room.

From time to time, he looked out the door, as if waiting for something.

Seeing Zhao Xieyang's appearance, Zhao Wufu couldn't help but say, "County Lieutenant Zhao, what are you looking outside?" ”

Zhao Xieyang glanced at Lin Feng, who was sitting firmly on Mount Tai, and then said, "I'm waiting for news from the inn." ”

"Although it is said that Lin Si is calculating the two groups of enemies, let them fight against each other...... But these two groups of enemies are very cunning, whether they have been tricked or not, and what is the outcome of the battle, without news, I always have no bottom in my heart. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Fifteen nodded: "I see." ”

Zhao Xieyang looked at Lin Feng and said, "Since Lin Sizheng has designed such a plan, I think someone must have arranged someone to keep an eye on it in secret, and once there is a result, it will definitely send back the news as soon as possible, so I am waiting for such news." ”

Lin Feng, who was reading a book, suddenly heard Zhao Xieyang say his name, and he couldn't help but pause when he turned the book.

"County Lieutenant Zhao, ......"

Lin Feng said earnestly: "Why do you think I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on it? Why do you think I did something I didn't say? ”

"What?"

Zhao Xieyang was stunned for a moment, and when he understood what Lin Feng meant, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said in disbelief: "Lin Sizheng, you didn't arrange for someone to keep an eye on it?" This...... How could you not have someone to keep an eye on it? ”

When Sun Fujia and the others heard this, they also looked at Lin Feng with some surprise.

I saw Lin Feng chuckling and turning the page of the book, and said slowly: "What is destined to put us in danger, why should I do it?" ”

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Xieyang and the others and explained: "County Lieutenant Zhao, you also know that the person who chased and killed this official was very strong, very cunning, and had many means, such a person, how long do you think this official's plan can hide him?" Even if he didn't think that the official had already left the inn, Jin Fenglu and the others in the inn would watch him being killed without telling the truth? ”

"Therefore, these people who are chasing and killing this official will definitely not wait until the end, and they will wonder if this official has fled...... And in this case, they must think the same as you, thinking that the official will arrange for spies to investigate the situation. ”

"Therefore, they will definitely find a way to search for spies, if the official really arranges spies......"

Lin Feng's eyes were deep, and there were bright candles dancing in his eyes, giving everyone the feeling that it was as if Lin Feng had seen the situation in the inn at this moment.

Lin Feng said with a smile: "And this spy was discovered by them again, County Lieutenant Zhao, what do you think they will do?" ”

When Zhao Xieyang heard this, he was shocked in his heart, his face couldn't help but be shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Will they follow the spies?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shifu only felt a chill suddenly climb up from the soles of his feet.

Sun Fujia's face was even more solemn.

Lin Feng watched everyone's expressions change, and nodded slowly: "That's right, they will definitely follow the spies...... Because that's the only way to find me as quickly and accurately as possible. ”

"As long as I want to know what's going on at the inn, the spies will definitely come back and report to me...... What better way could there be than the spies I sent out to show them the way? ”

Lin Feng's confirmation was like making everyone plunge into the ice cave, making their hands and feet cold.

Zhao Xieyang didn't expect this at all, he said, "So...... Lin Si is precisely to guard against this, so did he not arrange spies? ”

Lin Feng nodded: "This official is not a god, I can't be sure if they will look for spies, I can't be sure if they will be able to find spies, and they will definitely be able to follow the spies to find here...... But the current situation is that the enemy is strong and we are weak, I can only use one strategy after another to continue to narrow the gap between us, once they find us in advance, we will definitely die. ”

"So, I can't gamble the odds with all of our lives."

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhao Xieyang's face couldn't help but redden, he held back for a long time, and couldn't help but say: "Lin Sizheng, it's that the lower officials think too little, if the lower officials arrange manpower...... Probably, maybe the officials have already created an irreparable situation. ”

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "You are actually right, if we don't arrange spies, we won't be able to know what the situation is in the inn, and we will become blind and deaf, and blind and deaf people can't have an intuitive grasp of the situation and make the most appropriate arrangements." ”

Zhao Xieyang was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly found that he couldn't understand Lin Feng's words.

Lin Feng just said that he couldn't send spies, and he couldn't risk gambling on this probability, but now he said that if there were no spies, they would be blind and deaf, and they wouldn't be able to make the best arrangements...... Isn't that a paradox?

Lin Feng saw Zhao Xieyang's puzzlement, he smiled and said, "It is true that this official did not arrange spies at the inn, but ...... This does not mean that the official really did not arrange spies. ”

"What?"

Zhao Xieyang was stunned, even Sun Fujia didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.

Lin Feng looked at everyone, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and said, "This official actually arranged a spy...... However, the spies were not arranged at the inn, but in another place. ”

"Another place?" Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but say, "Where is it?" ”

Lin Feng didn't deliberately whet everyone's appetite, he directly gave the answer: "Du Mansion." ”

"What? Du Fu? ”

Zhao Xieyang was directly stunned, and Sun Fujia was also puzzled.

Lin Feng did not arrange the spies at the inn where the battle took place, but arranged them at the Du family...... These two places that can't be hit with one shot, is it any use to arrange them in the Du family?

Zhao Xieyang said: "Lin Sizheng, you are not wrong, right?" You put the spy in Du's house...... The Du family is so far away from the inn, it is impossible to know the situation at the inn. ”

Zhao Fifteen also nodded again and again.

Lin Feng said with a smile: "That's right, the Du family is indeed far away from the inn, and there is really no way to see the situation in the inn in the Du family...... However, what if the person who pursued me went to Du's house in person? ”

"What!?"

Zhao Xieyang felt that his whole life of confusion was concentrated today: "The person who chased and killed Lin Sizheng went to the Du family...... How could they go to Du's house? ”

Sun Fujia's eyes suddenly flickered a few times, and he was reminded by Lin Feng one after another, and he finally seemed to understand something.

He hurriedly looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, do you mean to ...... The Du family will arrange for spies to go to the inn to investigate the situation, and then they are discovered by the people of the Four Elephants Organization, thinking that they were sent by you, and finally follow the spies to the Du family? ”

"The Du family will arrange spies!?" Zhao Xieyang's eyes widened suddenly.

Lin Feng didn't use a speculative tone this time, but said categorically: "As the first family in Shenshan County, the Du family must always be in control of what is happening in Shenshan County, not to mention that the anonymous letter is still written by them, and they will pay more attention to our struggle with the Four Elephants Organization." ”

"In this case, the Du family will definitely arrange spies to investigate, so that they can always grasp the first-hand key information."

"Therefore, I arranged for someone to hide near the Du Mansion, once the Du family's spies come back, if they are followed by the people of the Four Elephants Organization, it means that everything is as I expected, the Four Elephants Organization really suspects my plan and conducts a reverse investigation, and my people can quickly return to inform us of the news."

"And if the Du family's spies come back alone, and they haven't followed anyone behind, it means that the Four Elephants Organization is still in the dark, and my people will continue to lie dormant near the Du Mansion until the Du family sends troops to leave the Du Mansion, and he will follow the Du family's people to the inn, and that is the moment when the Du family and the Four Elephants Organization have a conflict, and my people will not be in much danger if they investigate the situation again, and then he will return to inform us of the situation."

"That is to say......"

Lin Feng looked at everyone with a smile: "Even if I don't arrange spies at the inn, sooner or later we will be able to know everything about the inn, and there is no danger here." ”

The room was quiet, and everyone looked at Lin Feng with a look full of astonishment and amazement.

Obviously, they didn't expect Lin Feng to go around in such a circle to monitor the situation at the inn.

But it's also obvious...... This is indeed the safest and most perfect means of indirect surveillance.

It's just that...... Sun Fujia couldn't help but say, "Zide, you said that the Du family would send troops to the inn?" ”

Lin Feng knew what Sun Fujia meant, he nodded slightly, and said, "I haven't had time to tell Sun Langzhong yet...... In fact, I wrote a letter to Du Ming, which briefly explained that I was not in the inn, and hoped that the Du family could help me and send the nursing home to support me. ”

Sun Fujia's brows couldn't help frowning: "You told him such important news like this?" Aren't you afraid that he will leak it? And...... How can you be sure he'll help? What if he refuses? ”

Lin Feng shook his head, his face was full of confidence, and said, "First of all, he won't refuse, he will definitely help me...... Because at this time, he is on the same page as my goals. ”

"Secondly, if I don't tell him the news, how can I create a genuine desire for his help? I want him to believe that I will ask him for help, because the Du family is the most powerful family in Shenshan County, and you and Du Ming still have a friend relationship...... And not for other reasons. ”

Sun Fujia understood Lin Feng's second sentence, but the first sentence ...... He said: "You say that the Du family has the same goal as ours? ”

Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia with deep meaning on his face, and said slowly: "Sun Langzhong still doesn't understand? Du Jia...... It's the same as the Chen family! ”

After brushing it, Sun Fujia heard Lin Feng's words, his pupils suddenly dilated, and the expression on his face suddenly changed greatly.

"The Du family and the Chen family, Zide, are you saying they are all ......" Sun Fujia stared at Lin Feng tightly.

Lin Feng met Sun Fujia's shocked expression and nodded heavily: "That's right, they are in a group." ”

It's all the Jinchai inheritance family!

He said slowly: "Sun Langzhong can analyze it...... According to our previous analysis, the Du family is the only person who knows Han Mo's identity, he is not the real murderer, he can only be the one who wrote an anonymous letter. ”

"Because of the existence of the anonymous letter, we were able to know that Qin Fen and Zhang Heng were killed, and we were able to avoid the tragic result of being confused and leaving Shenshan County with the caravan and being killed by the Sixiang Organization in the deep mountains and old forests."

"From this point of view, the anonymous letter is meant to help us avoid being intercepted by the Four Elephants organization."

"But what about Du Ming's motive for doing this? Why is he helping me? ”

Sun Fujia frowned and pondered.

Lin Feng continued: "I thought that he might be because of you, because he and you used to be friends...... But if that's the case, there's really no need for him to hide his identity at all, at least when we go to see him, there's no need for him to continue to hide it. ”

"He could have told us directly that he had helped us, and in that way we would have deepened our friendship with you and made me grateful to him...... And we are all smart people, and we will definitely not leak this matter, and we will keep it secret for him, so that his worries can be solved, why not do it? ”

But he didn't! He is like a nocturnal man in brocade, who has done good deeds without saying anything, and watched the opportunity to gain the favor of the two of us as officials of the five grades of the dynasty slip away...... This behavior is completely inconsistent with the identity of the head of a large family, so it is obvious that he did not do this because of your friendship or to gain our favor. ”

"Why, then, did he write an anonymous letter, and would rather give up the gratitude of both of us to conceal it?"

Sun Fujia has experienced the ups and downs of officialdom, and is used to seeing deceit, but when he heard Lin Feng's words at this moment, he let out a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "The heads of these big families will not do anything that is not beneficial to them. ”

"He wrote anonymous letters, which must have been done to his advantage, but he was not for us, but only for the rest of our party."

"And in our group, only you, me, Miss Xiao, Zhao Fifteen and Chen Miao, the four of us know the roots, and no one has anything to do with him except me, so that means ...... The only one that may have something to do with it is Chen Miao. ”

Lin Feng bowed slightly: "It seems that Sun Langzhong has already figured it out." ”

"Chen Miao followed us to Chang'an...... If we have an accident, he will not be spared, let alone going to Chang'an, everyone else has to fold halfway together, so this anonymous letter seems to be helping me, and it is better to ensure that we will not have an accident halfway due to the Four Elephants Organization, and finally take Chen Miao to Chang'an safely. ”

Sun Fujia exhaled a breath of turbidity again, and he said: "Chen Miao was sent by Chen Yitian, and the Chen family is a inheritance family, so Du Ming helped him, only the Du family is also a inheritance family, and only for this reason, he must conceal the fact that the anonymous letter was written by him, so as to prevent us from paying more attention to him and then discovering anything." ”

Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "That's right, after all, I have a reputation, he must be wary of me, once I know that the anonymous letter was written by him, maybe I will get to the bottom of it, so as to discover his hidden secret, which he absolutely does not want to see." ”

Sun Fujia nodded with a heavy expression, and his mood was indescribably complicated.

After all, he really regarded Du Ming as a friend in the past.

But who knows, Du Ming is a member of the Jinchai inheritance family......

Lin Feng continued: "Du Ming hopes that we can take Chen Miao to Chang'an safely, and this requires us to get out of trouble smoothly, so for the time being, he has the same goal as us, I ask him for help, and he will naturally agree." ”

Sun Fujia didn't hesitate any longer, he nodded: "Indeed, he will definitely help, then now, we just need to wait quietly for the news of the spies." ”

Lin Feng smiled and bowed: "That's right......"

Knock knock.

And just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Lin Sizheng, there is information coming." The guard guarding outside said.

Hearing this voice, Zhao Xieyang hurriedly came to the door and opened the door.

I saw a man dressed in black walking into the room quickly, he looked at Lin Feng, and hurriedly saluted: "Everything is as Lin Sizheng expected, the spies of the Du family have returned to the Du Mansion, but someone is secretly following ...... behind."
