After leaving the restaurant, Lin Chen and Qin Yu returned to his hotel suite.

Without the disturbance of outsiders, the two can finally have a good and quiet meal.

Qin Yu's heart was resolved, the smile on his face doubled compared to before, and while eating, he asked about Lin Chen with a bright smile.

Some of the questions that had existed in her heart for a long time in the past were thrown out one by one.

The two chatted while eating, and soon, it was already dark outside.

At this moment, Lin Chen heard a rhythmic knock on the door, as well as the familiar aura outside the door.

It was Zhou Yang who came back.

Putting down the wine glass, Lin Chen said, "Qin Yu, my people are here." ”

"Is it Commander Zhou Yang?" Qin Yu had already learned from Lin Chen's mouth the purpose of his visit to the capital this time.

She put down her knife and fork, wiped her mouth, got up and said, "I know, then I'll go back first, and after I clean up here, I will go to the northwest." ”

Staring into her eyes, Lin Chen asked, "Are you really going to do this?" Why don't you discuss it with your family? ”

"No, they all know my heart." Qin Yu shook his head, stood on tiptoe, kissed Lin Chen lightly on the cheek, and then walked out of the door, his eyes full of reluctance.

Lin Chen sighed slightly, he couldn't give Qin Yu anything, but since she felt that this was the life she wanted, then let her go.

After the door opened, Zhou Yang staggered past Qin Yu with a stunned expression, glanced at Lin Chen hesitantly, and asked, "Lin Shuai, am I not here at the right time?" ”

"Come in, I'm fine here." Lin Chen smiled.

Zhou Yang saw that Qin Yu had really left, so he walked in, closed the door, and reported: "Lin Shuai, I have already investigated the situation in the capital." ”

"Say it." Lin Chen poured him and himself a glass of wine.

Zhou Yang took a sip and began to explain the news he heard today.

"Lin Shuai, the rumors we heard before are true, Chen Bufan has indeed returned from the border, but he seems to have hid in the fortress of doom, avoiding it, and only giving orders to the outside inside the fortress.

There are also rumors that there have been frequent military movements near the Doomsday Fortress recently, and I am afraid that he knows that you have returned, and has already begun to set up preparations there in case you go to him! ”

"His affairs are not in a hurry first, what about the rest?" Lin Chen asked.

Zhou Yang said: "Now here in the capital, because Chen Bufan went to the Doomsday Fortress, all the military affairs of the capital have been handed over to a general named Yan Kuan, who used to be Chen Bufan's deputy marshal, and now he is in charge of the military affairs of the capital on his behalf, and he is also responsible for the security work in the imperial city."

I now hear that after he took office, he was also deploying troops, and it seems that he has plans to attack the imperial city! ”

"He's going to attack the Imperial City? Chen Bufan didn't dare in the past, right? Lin Chen frowned.

"Lin Shuai didn't know, Yan Kuan was so happy, two years ago, he had a lot of complaints about Chen Bufan leaving the imperial city unmoving, this time after he was in charge of guarding the imperial city, he planned to take the imperial city, so as to ask Chen Bufan for credit, it is said that this time, Chen Bufan did not stop his action." Zhou Yang explained.

Lin Chen touched his chin, revealing a contemplative expression.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "This Yan Kuan, it seems that he is going to be used as a substitute for the dead." ”

"How?" Zhou Yang asked.

"Chen Bufan knew that I would come, so he hid in the Doomsday Fortress in advance, why did he agree to let his men waste their troops to attack the imperial city? I'm already back, so what if I take the Imperial City? His idea is to take advantage of this Yan Kuan to confirm whether I am really back, so that he can find another plan, right?

He knew that if I heard that the Son of Heaven was in distress, there would definitely be a rescue, so he acquiesced to this stern and forgiving offense. ”

When Zhou Yang heard this, he suddenly realized in vain, as soon as Lin Chen said this, he did remember that there was once a rumor that between Yan Kuan and Chen Bufan, it was actually not as harmonious as it seemed, and there seemed to be a gap between the two people.

In this way, it makes sense for Chen Bufan to let him be a substitute for the dead ghost.

"Lin Shuai, then we ......"

"You go and rest, tomorrow we will enter the imperial city!" Lin Chen said.

"Huh? But Chen Bufan's side ...... "Zhou Yang was a little hesitant, since he knew that the other party had another plan, Lin Chen still wanted to go to the imperial city?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly.

Even though Chen Bufan had a hundred kinds of conspiracies and tricks, he could only do it, pushing the royal family with one hand, and teaching him to kneel and admit his mistakes!

……

Following.

The center of the capital, before the imperial city.

Since Chen Bufan's coup d'état two years ago, but he was scared back because of a katana left by Lin Chen, the blocks within five miles of the imperial city have been painted as forbidden places, and all personnel are not allowed to enter.

All kinds of buildings along the street have also been bulldozed and hollowed out.

Outside the imperial city, it became a flat land.

This was done to prevent anyone in the imperial city from fleeing without permission.

Chen Bufan didn't dare to enter the imperial city, so he wanted to use this way to force the people in the imperial city out.

It's a pity that the Imperial City of Yanguo already has a large amount of reserve materials, so two years have passed, and the people in the Imperial City can still hold on.

But there was a limit to this insistence, and when Zhou Yang fled from the Imperial City for help, the reserves within the Imperial City were close to bottoming out.

And in the past few days, the pressure on the people in the imperial city has increased greatly.

Because they suddenly discovered that the defenders outside the city, who were only responsible for the blockade in the past, had now begun to constantly test the interior of the imperial city, and it seemed that they wanted to attack the imperial city!

From the initial temptation, to the recent start of building positions.

This morning, when the rising sun illuminated the open space in front of the imperial city, the royal forest army guarding the imperial city in the city found that there was already a large army outside the city, waiting for it.

There was an immediate panic inside the imperial city, and people kept running in a hurry at the head of the city.

And in this army outside the city, the deity is Yan Kuan, the chief commander of the garrison in the capital at the moment, sitting in a precarious position, full of military uniforms, like a king, sitting on a chariot with great momentum, a pair of tiger eyes, looking at the majestic imperial city in front of him without anger.

He snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "What a magnificent imperial city, but the Imperial Forest Army in this city is just a trapped beast after all, it's ridiculous that the generalissimo gave up the siege because of a katana in the past, it's ridiculous!" ”

Inside the chariot, Yan Kuan's henchmen couldn't help but remind: "Marshal, this is inappropriate......

"Don't worry!" Yan Kuan raised his hand and signaled that he didn't have to mind, "As long as we take the imperial city and let the Son of Heaven abdicate, then the generalissimo can justifiably change the dynasty, at that time, we all have the merit of the dragon, a little complaint, the generalissimo will not take it to heart!" ”

Yan Kuan's confidant said again: "But the marshal, I heard that Lin Chen, the former generalissimo of soldiers and horses, is back!" He seems to be alive, and the generalissimo entered the Doomsday Fortress this time, just to hide from the forest dust. ”

Yan Kuan didn't take it to heart at all: "Hmph, that's just a rumor, that Lin Chen died so much that even the scum was left, didn't we see it with our own eyes?" How could he be alive unless he wasn't human!

Saying that Lin Chen is alive must be rumors, and it may even be a ploy of the Izumo people!

It's a pity that our generalissimo doesn't know why, he is already frightened of Lin Chen, and a fake news makes him so afraid, alas, ......"
