A quarter of an hour later.

Lin Feng, Sun Fujia and the others came to the inn for the first time tonight.

I saw that the inn was still burning with flames, but the soldiers who came to support had already woken up the surrounding people and used their wells to start fighting the fire, so that the fire would not spread to other houses and cause the nearby people to suffer.

"Hahahaha."

As soon as Lin Feng arrived, before he could take his eyes off the fire, he heard a particularly hearty laugh.

Lin Feng followed the prestige, and saw a big man in armor and a burly physique, who was laughing and walking from the soldiers, his face was red from the flames, and his whole face was full of red light, and his momentum was extraordinary.

"Zide, I'm not late." Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

Lin Feng hurriedly saluted Cheng Biting Jin, and said with a grateful face: "General Cheng's divine soldiers descended from the sky, and if they come early, their hidden dead soldiers will not have time to appear, and if they come later, they may completely disperse and be difficult to annihilate...... Therefore, the timing of General Cheng's coming here is just right, and no one who is perfect can find fault with it, as if it is the will of God, let these thieves die at the hands of General Cheng, and let General Cheng save me from fire and water. ”

Lin Feng is very good at words, and when he said a word, it immediately made Cheng bite his golden eyebrows and smile.

Cheng Biting Jin waved his hand heartily and said with a smile: "It's not okay to save you from fire and water, just now the general also understood what happened tonight, your plans are linked one by one, interlocking, and these thieves have no power to fight back, even if you are not the general, I believe you will not really go to a dead end." ”

He looked at Lin Feng, who had not been touched by the slightest dust on his clothes, even though he had experienced such a dangerous game, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When I first met you in Shangzhou, I thought that you were extremely talented and had amazing potential, and you would definitely make great achievements in the future...... But see you today, Ben will know that at that time, he already looked at you in a high-level evaluation, and still despised you. ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Xia Guan is just lucky, and he can't afford to be evaluated like General Cheng." ”

"If you're lucky, you can't turn around the calculations of such a cunning thief."

Cheng Yanjin shook his head with a smile, and said, he looked at the picture of cleaning the battlefield, and said: "Ben General just asked the Du family kid, and he said that the leader of these thieves escaped by taking advantage of the chaos, Zide ......"

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Feng spoke directly, and he said, "The reason why I only came here now is to block them. ”

"Oh?"

Cheng Biting's golden eyes flashed: "What about them?" ”

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, he looked at the fire that had been under control, and the fire had begun to slowly weaken, his face was roasted by the flames as if covered with a layer of blood, and he said quietly: "They are all dead, some people were killed on the spot, and some people didn't want to be caught, so they directly bit the poison sac in their mouths and committed suicide." ”

Cheng Yanjin didn't doubt Lin Feng's words, he sighed with emotion: "I don't know who these thieves are working for, it's really as if they have completely put their lives and deaths out of the way, and it is several times more difficult to capture them alive than to kill them." ”

Lin Feng nodded in agreement: "So even if I solve many cases about them, I still know very little about them." ”

Cheng Yanjin looked at Lin Feng, at this moment, he seemed to see himself from Lin Feng who was still in the Wagang period, it seemed to be majestic, but in fact the pressure was huge, and he could only see the wind and rain and fog for the future.

He raised his hand, patted Lin Feng's shoulder, and said with relief: "Thinking too much can only increase your troubles, take one step at a time, it should be you who destroy them, sooner or later they will fall into your hands." ”

Lin Feng didn't expect Cheng Yanjin to comfort himself, and he thanked Cheng Yanjin again.

Cheng Yanjin waved his hand, looked at the battlefield again, and said, "But speaking of which, you are really dangerous this time, they sent so many people to kill you...... If it weren't for the fact that I happened to be out on a mission and received your urgent request for help, and was able to come quickly, you would really have some trouble, so in the future, when you go out, it is best to prepare some more guards, so as not to encounter this kind of thing again. ”

That's right, Lin Feng didn't ask people to go to Chang'an for help at all, but Cheng Biting Jin who was directly looking for him.

Before leaving Chang'an, Lin Feng had thought about who would save him once he was chased, and after discussing with Xiao Yu and them, he came to the conclusion that Cheng Biting Jin.

On the one hand, Cheng Yanjin happened to be out on a mission, very mobile, and could rescue at any time, without so many procedures, and would not be like other people in Chang'an City, if he moved a little, countless people would know.

On the other hand, among these bigwigs in the military, he has the best relationship with Lin Feng, and the most familiar one is Cheng Yanjin, go to Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Yanjin will never deliberately delay time.

Therefore, before leaving, Xiao Yu went to see Li Shimin and secretly asked for a secret order from Li Shimin, and at a critical moment, he could let Cheng Yanjin transfer troops to support.

With this secret order, Cheng Yanjin will lead troops to support, and no one will find a reason to attack.

After all, the general can't take troops to other places casually, and the time Wei Zheng asked Cheng Yanjin for help in Shangzhou, it was because Shangzhou was the only way for Cheng Yanjin to complete the task and return to Chang'an, and it was impossible for Cheng Yanjin to bring troops to Shangzhou privately.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but think of what Fake Kuisu had said before.

He said that he had the military to support him and should not hide it from him......

Although Kuisu is fake, his words should be true, after all, they are his subconscious words, not deliberate words, not to mention that only telling the truth can make him look more like the real Kuisu.

So if you get it out of him, there should be no problem.

"It seems that the military department, I'm afraid there are really people from their Four Elephants Organization...... If I go to the Chang'an Military Department to ask for help, I am afraid that either the reinforcements will not come so timely, or they will feel the danger and retreat early, and my plan will never go well. ”

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, tonight's game was really dangerous, but if there was a problem in any link, the result would be unimaginable...... Fortunately, he started preparing before they came to hunt him down.

"Thank you General Cheng for reminding me, if I don't die this time, I will become a thorn in their side in the future, and after returning to Chang'an, I really have to be more cautious." Lin Feng expressed his gratitude to Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin looked at Lin Feng, and suddenly grinned: "Your mansion is too old and too biased, and no one will know about it for a while and a half if there is an accident, so ......"

Cheng Yanjin smiled and said: "Zide, you might as well return to Chang'an, live directly in my house, there are many nursing homes in my house, each of them is a practitioner, and there are dignitaries and dignitaries around, if you want to come, these thieves don't dare to go to my house to make trouble, but if they dare to come, I roared in my voice, and everyone's courtyard comes out, that is an army, and I guarantee that these thieves will have their lives to come and go." ”

Listening to Cheng Yanjin's sudden invitation, Lin Feng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Cheng Yanjin to say this.

Even Sun Fujia, Zhao Fifteen and others behind him also looked at each other.

They knew that Cheng Yanjin valued Lin Feng very much, otherwise they would not have seen Lin Feng once, so they invited Lin Feng to Cheng Mansion as a guest, but they never thought that Cheng Yanjin would directly invite Lin Feng to stay in Cheng Mansion.

This is different from being a guest, the meaning of the representation, and the external meaning, are completely different weights.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is no worse than the relationship between Lin Feng and Xiao Yu, and it may even be even better.

Lin Feng's brain turned quickly, thinking about the reason why Cheng Biting Jin did this, although Cheng Biting Jin is a military general, but Cheng Biting Jin is a meritorious person who has made a founding meritorious service and holds real power, and he can live peacefully to death under the rule of several generations of emperors, and there are almost no big twists and turns in the middle, which is enough to prove that Cheng Biting Jin is an official and wise, and he is by no means a person who makes decisions casually when his brain is hot.

Let yourself live directly in Cheng's mansion, this is tantamount to telling the world that he will be covered by Cheng Biting Jin in the future, and whoever wants to deal with himself must first see if Cheng Biting Jin allows it.

Not to mention that he is now the thorn in the side of the most mysterious and powerful Four Elephant Organization, and contact with himself means the word danger...... It is enough to just say that normal officialdom investment, invite yourself as a guest, and show that you are close to him, there is no need to do it like this.

So...... Why did Cheng Yanjin suddenly make such an invitation?

Could it be that the scheming ability he showed tonight made Cheng Yanjin even more impressed with himself?

But a big guy of Cheng Biting Jin's level, Tianjiao has definitely seen a lot, even if he is very good, but he will not let Cheng Biting Jin make such a decision.

Don't......

Lin Feng's eyes flashed: "What happened that I don't know?" ”

He thought about everything about himself, and he didn't think that Cheng Yanjin could make such an overly intimate decision, so he felt that something should have happened suddenly and he didn't know it.

He looked at Cheng Yanjin and said tentatively: "General Cheng, I wonder if something happened in Chang'an?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin looked directly at Lin Feng with both eyes, and when he saw Lin Feng asking such a question, he couldn't hide the emotion on his face: "Zide, your cleverness really makes Ben feel admired." ”

He didn't deny it, nor did he sell it, and said directly: "Three days ago, Wang Jian, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, died. ”

Just this sentence suddenly caused an uproar in the minds of Lin Feng and Sun Fujia.

Wang Jian is dead!?

The two looked at each other, and both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.

There are two Shaoqing in Dali Temple, one is Wang Jian, and the other is Gao Shilian's son Gao Cheng.

Of course, it doesn't matter who Shaoqing is, what matters is that one of the Shaoqing is dead!

And Shaoqing is a member of the fourth grade!

If the fifth product is the ticket to the core of the imperial court, then the fourth product is the real backbone!

After all, further up, it is the level of the six Shangshu, which is already considered a consolidated minister, and the number is only so many, and as long as these officials don't make big mistakes, they basically won't lose that position.

That is to say, for the major factions and forces of the imperial court, the third product is to fight for fate, the fifth product is to try to fight, and the fourth product is to break the head.

After all, if you don't accumulate merit and prestige in the fourth grade, how can you have a chance to be promoted to the third grade?

Not to mention that the four products are all direct officers, holding real power and ministers, and the leaders of the three products are responsible for overall planning, and those who really hold the power to actually do things are the four products.

And now...... There is a four-rank position, which is vacant!

If it weren't for Xiao Yu, Dai Xuan and Wei Zheng to protect themselves, and there would be an exchange of interests in the future, they would never sit smoothly in the position of Dali Temple.

A five-grade Dali Temple is like this, you can imagine what kind of bloody storm Shaoqing of the four-grade Dali Temple will set off in the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng's eyes flashed suddenly...... He understood why Cheng Yanjin invited him so much, this was Ming telling himself that he was willing to support him to fight for the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

"I wonder if General Cheng knows why Wang Shaoqing died?" Lin Feng pondered for a moment before asking.

Cheng Yanjin didn't hide it, he said: "I heard that he seems to have been killed...... But I don't know the specifics, after all, I've never been in Chang'an City. ”

"Killed!?"

Lin Feng's pupils widened slightly, and Sun Fujia's eyes widened violently.

The four-rank master was killed and died! This is definitely enough to make Li Shimin angry!

A fourth-rank senior member was killed, and a fourth-rank vacancy appeared...... Even if Lin Feng and Sun Fujia did not return to Chang'an, they were enough to imagine how complicated the situation was in the imperial court at this moment.

Coupled with the imminent implementation of the plan of the Four Elephants Organization, and the dishonest forces of the Jinchai Inheritance Family and the merchants of the Western Regions, Sun Fujia did not dare to imagine how chaotic Chang'an City would be in the future.

The storm is coming...... In the hearts of everyone present, such a word couldn't help but emerge.

Lin Feng's eyes kept flickering, and his mind was constantly analyzing Wang Jian's killing, who did it, and what the purpose was, but he didn't have any valuable clues, so he had to take a deep breath and temporarily suppress all these chaotic thoughts in his heart.

At this moment, he is not in Chang'an City, no matter how much he wants, it is useless, what he should do now is to finish the matter here as soon as possible, and then return to Chang'an City immediately.

Only by returning to Chang'an City can he be qualified to participate in this chaotic drama.

Lin Feng bowed his hand to Cheng Jin: "General Cheng's love has flattered the lower officials, counting that General Cheng has already rescued the lower officials twice, and the lower officials have not had time to repay General Cheng's kindness these two times, so how can they be embarrassed to enter the Cheng Mansion to disturb General Cheng again." ”

The situation in Chang'an is unclear, Lin Feng can't make any decision easily, but Cheng Biting Jin's kindness Lin Feng can't directly refuse, so he used Cheng Bitingjin's kindness to him as a reason to politely refuse Cheng Biting Jin, to let Cheng Biting Jin know that he knows that Cheng Biting Jin is good to him, and he has always remembered these kindnesses in his heart, and he is willing to be close to Cheng Biting Jin, but in a special period, his situation is complicated, so it is not suitable to live in Cheng Yanjin directly.

Cheng bites the essence of the metal in the generals, as soon as he heard Lin Feng's words, he immediately understood the meaning of Lin Feng's words, he actually didn't think that Lin Feng would directly agree to himself, he just wanted Lin Feng to understand that this position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he would fully support Lin Feng, Lin Feng understood this, and his goal had been achieved.

He smiled heartily: "Don't worry about saving you, it's what should be done, and I won't embarrass you, but this sentence has always been valid, as long as you want to come to Cheng Mansion, you can go at any time, Cheng Mansion will always have a room reserved for you." ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he hurriedly expressed his gratitude and emotion again, he could speak well, and communicate with Cheng Biting Jin, who was a human spirit, naturally both parties were extremely comfortable.

After talking about the most critical topic, Cheng Yanjin slowly exhaled a breath, he looked at the inn where the fire was getting weaker and weaker, and said: "There are still some tasks that have not been completed, and I need to delay for another three or five days to return to Chang'an, but I can arrange a thousand soldiers and horses for you to escort you, I don't know if it is enough?" ”

Lin Feng hurriedly said, "That's enough...... The Four Elephants Organization can arrange more than 1,000 people to hunt me down this time, which should already be the most force they can use, and now that their plan is about to be implemented, they will definitely not dare to mobilize so many people, lest they will not have enough manpower to implement the plan, not to mention that after the lesson here, they are not sure if I still have a plan for them, so all of them, no accident, I don't think they should continue to intercept me on the road, this thousand soldiers and horses are enough. ”

When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he nodded reassuringly: "That's fine...... What's going on here, this official also has to hurry up to complete the task and return to Chang'an, and prepare to leave in a while, when are you going to leave? ”

Lin Feng looked at the beating firelight, pondered for a moment, and said: "There are still a few things to do next, and after doing it, he will set off immediately, no accident, after dawn, he will almost set off." ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded, and said with a little deep meaning: "It's better to go early, Chang'an still has a lot of things waiting for you, and you can do it as soon as you go back early." ”

Lin Feng understood that Cheng Yanjin was saying that he would go back early, so that he could participate in the competition before the new Shaoqing candidate came out, and once the candidate was determined, it would be too late.

He nodded heavily: "Xiaguan understands." ”

Cheng Yanjin glanced at Lin Feng deeply, and bowed his head with satisfaction: "Okay!" Ben will support the completion of the mission, you are safe, and the officer's heart will be relieved...... Don't you have something to do? Go for it, don't send the general, let's get together again in Chang'an. ”

Cheng Biting Jin is free and decisive, Lin Feng is naturally not a person of ink, he really has to hurry up.

Lin Feng saluted Cheng Yanjin again: "General Cheng's support this time, Lin Feng will remember it in his heart, and when he returns to Chang'an in the future, he will come to visit." ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded with a smile: "Go ahead." ”

Lin Feng didn't delay any longer, and turned around and left directly.

Sun Fujia and the others also saluted Cheng Yanjin with their fists, and then left with Lin Feng one after another.

Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, and seeing Sun Fujia following Lin Feng's figure, the smile on Cheng Yanjin's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a touch of worry.

Lin Feng's power has obviously taken shape......

However, the current prototype hides a deadly threat.

"Lin Feng, don't forget...... The position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is something that all Wupin officials have the opportunity to fight for, that is to say, ......"

Cheng Yanjin muttered: "Sun Fujia next to you also has a chance to fight!" And he fell from this position, do you know how much he wants to go back? ”

"Power dehumanizes people...... Once he wants to fight, have you ever thought about how to deal with it? If you don't even think about him, and you only care about fighting for yourself and ignore him, how will he be disappointed in you? ”

"A ...... that doesn't handle well"

Cheng Yanjin shook his head: "I'm afraid, the day you return to Chang'an, it will be the moment when you cut off your robes and break your righteousness......"

…………

On the way out of the inn.

Sun Fujia took two quick steps and walked side by side with Lin Feng, he lowered his head, looked at his toes, and said, "I really didn't expect that when we came out to investigate the case, such a big thing happened in the imperial court. ”

Suddenly, he raised his head, looked at Lin Feng, and said, "Zide, are you going to fight for the position of this young secretary?" ”

Lin Feng looked at the morning light slowly emerging in front of him, and did not answer, but asked Sun Fujia, "Does Sun Langzhong want to return to this position?" ”

Sun Fujia was stunned for a moment, he wanted to know Lin Feng's wishes, but he didn't expect Lin Feng to suddenly ask him.

He pursed his lips, as if he hadn't thought about it yet.

But at this time, Lin Feng's calm voice sounded: "If Sun Langzhong wants to come back, I will help you." ”

Sun Fujia's footsteps slammed suddenly, his eyes looked straight at Lin Feng, and the look in his eyes seemed to flash in an instant after decades of ups and downs.

He looked at Lin Feng in a daze: "Zide, you ......"

Lin Feng turned to look at Sun Fujia and said with a smile: "Did Sun Langzhong forget, I said just now that I would help Sun Langzhong return to the top, or even go further...... Now that I have such an opportunity, as long as Sun Langzhong is willing, I will do everything to help you. ”

Sun Fujia's pupils trembled violently at this moment, and his heart was suddenly wrapped in an emotion, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

As a former Shaoqing in Dali Temple, he knows too well the power and status of this position, too well knows how many people broke their heads to fight for it after he was demoted, and even more aware of how many people turned against each other and broke up their friendship.

But Lin Feng did not hesitate to say that he wanted to help himself...... Obviously, he is also a five-grade, and Ming Ming Cheng bit King Kong to express that he would help him, but he still seriously said that as long as he wants, he will help himself......

Sun Fujia couldn't help but close his eyes, his hands clenched into fists and separated, he was silent for a long time before he let out a long breath and opened his eyes again.

He looked at Lin Feng and said with a complicated expression: "Zide, do you know what kind of struggle I had in my heart just now?" ”

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I know." ”

Sun Fujia sighed and said: "The position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is indeed my heart knot, before I met you, I swore countless times that I must return to this position, that is my dignity, I want to pick it up again." ”

But later, I found out that my insistence was wrong...... I lost the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple because of the wrong judgment of the case, and the dignity I lost was not enough ability and the wrong case was judged, so if I want to regain my dignity, I should rely on the truth of the case I handled, not what official position or grade. ”

"Now I want to go back to the top because people go to high places, I don't want to fall and never get up again, let others think that I am a coward...... But after all, that's no longer my obsession. ”

"So, when the opportunity is in front of you and me, just as you are willing to help me, I am willing to help you...... And after careful consideration, I know that you are more suitable for this position than me, your ability, the strength behind you that is willing to support you, and the many credits you have made have given you the opportunity to fight for this position. ”

"And I ......"

Sun Fujia shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from you, except for the official position to be qualified to fight for this position, I am not enough in other aspects, I will be squeezed down if I can't even bear it in the first round, so you don't have to waste energy on me, if you want to fight, then do your best to fight, and I will also use all my strength to help you." ”

Sun Fujia said the truth, the moment Lin Feng took the initiative to say that he was willing to help him, Sun Fujia was not ready to hide any of Lin Feng's own thoughts.

If a confidant dies, Lin Feng is his confidant.

Lin Feng was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll fight, if I can succeed, then I will be the force behind you in the future." ”

Sun Fujia laughed: "Okay! Then it's decided, if you really become the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, it is indeed a force that I can rely on, and you will have to take me with you to investigate the case in the future, and I still expect you to take me to make more meritorious contributions. ”

Lin Feng nodded heavily: "Definitely!" ”

The two looked at each other, looked at each other, and suddenly laughed at the same time.

They are all smart people, and they all understand that the matter in front of them must be talked about.

Now they are already the most tacit partners, and they are the most important force in Lin Feng's group, if they have a disagreement, they may fall apart in the next moment.

Therefore, Sun Fujia wanted to know Lin Feng's thoughts, and Lin Feng directly said that he wanted to support Sun Fujia.

The goal of both of them is to avoid the suspicion before it appears.

It's just that Sun Fujia hadn't made a decision at that time, and when the huge power was in front of him, when his obsession affected his heart, he was still moved, but he didn't expect Lin Feng to say anything that would directly help him.

This made his heart shake at the same time, but also instantly sobered up, he was very smart, and he had been in the officialdom for longer than Lin Feng, so when he clearly thought about his own situation, he knew that he had no chance at all.

Only by helping Lin Feng can he have a chance in the future.

Thinking of this, Sun Fujia didn't have any other thoughts in his heart, only thinking about how to support Lin Feng.

And these ...... Lin Feng didn't expect it.

At this point, the two smart people have snuffed out the hidden danger in a very short time, and the goal is the same again.

What Cheng Yanjin was worried about was solved after all, without even having a chance to happen.
