"Yin'er, how about taking a risk with me?" Lin Qian suddenly lowered his voice and looked at the people around him with a light smile. To read the latest chapters, please lock Aishang Novel Network biquge.info{Aishang Novel Network biquge.info}
"What are you going to do?" Yin'er knew that he was going to assign her a new task, and happily waited for him to say.
"Whether it is Wan Yan Jun attaching Yan Jun Sui, or Chu Merry Xuanyuan Jiuye, the purpose is all me. "Lin Qian doesn't have to scrutinize, the battle of Kongtong knows a thing or two, "In the last battle, they had many details designed to kill me, but they were empty again and again, obviously unwilling to give up." Whether a traitor or a spy has been targeting me lately, hoping to do it in a secluded and uninhabited place. Like the snow that fell in Sioux back then. β
"You kid, you've always been bold. Yin'er understood and smiled slyly, "What should be done in a secluded place so that they will have the courage to move?"
"......," he glared at Yin'er fiercely, "if I don't cooperate, I won't take you with me." β
"No, we have to be together!" Yin'er hurriedly grabbed him, and her coquettish expression was revealed, "Okay, good, cooperation is ......"
In addition to this plan to lure the snake out of the hole by himself, Lin Qian has also investigated whether there are any close people around Tian Shouzhong who may defect, the answer is no, most of the leaders of Yan'an Mansion have died in battle, and the possibility of traitors among them is very small, so Lin Qian locked his eyes on the generals who went to Yan'an Road at the same time as Gu Tingxian Gengzhi and others. Among them, there are countless characters, the scope is too large and it is extremely difficult to search, and the people who happened to go to Yanlu in January and February in Shouyang Mountain naturally have the greatest suspicion because they have intersected in the two events, Lin Qian screened out nearly a hundred, but they are all Lin Qian's close followers, and it is believed that Cheng DΓΉ is really chasing the generals of the Allied Forces, Lin Qian can't just pick out one out of thin air, and this line can only be temporarily stranded.
Yin'er also knows that these are already the best methods, in this allied army based on the principle of "absolute mutual trust", it is very hurtful to suspect who has defected, and everyone at the core level is like this, and the non-core layer will not be much better - it can be said that if the traitors are those generals of Xiang Qingfeng Liu Wujin, they will brutally disintegrate Yin'er's outlook on life and values. And if the traitor is a follower like Deng Yifei Shui Xuan, who is close to Lin Qian, it will also shake Yin'er's outlook on life and values...... She likes pure rivers and lakes so much......
People's feelings are intimate, and Yin'er doesn't believe that Lin Qian doesn't have it. Qian is so deeply disgusted with spies, and he must be bitter about being a traitor, but the reality leaves no room for anything: this time it really rubs shoulders with "absolute mutual trust". It can be said that if Lin Qian didn't stop his doubts and messiness in his heart, it would probably cause another crisis of confidence in the allies, and everyone was in danger, and no one wanted to see this kind of situation, and Lin Qian would not allow this situation...... However, it was even more impossible for Lin Qian to let Tian Shouzhong and Feng Guangliang die in vain, so he had to risk breaking his principles and make up his mind to find the truth of the matter.
It has to be said that this world is fair, and where there is conquest, there may be betrayal.
The closer you get to the truth, the more confusing the situation becomes. Such a process of getting close but out of reach, hanging between various possibilities, not having a clue at all, finally having a clue and disappearing, the most painful, the most difficult to pass, Yin'er must accompany Lin Qian.
"In fact, the happier result is: the spies from Jin Guolai on Shouyang Mountain and the traitors from Yan'an Mansion are General Tian's side. Spies and traitors are not close to you, they are both inconspicuous and do not have much communication...... I hope this is the case, so that the 'absolute mutual trust' will not change. On the way back to Pingliang from Yan'an Mansion, Yin'er prayed.
"However, hope is one thing, reality is another. Before it is time to draw conclusions, the corollary is actually that the less the better...... But when it really comes to the ground, no outcome can be escaped. Lin Qian smiled and said, the meaning of this smile, Yin'er didn't understand until later.
??
Whoever seeks the soul for the death is the corpse collector.
More than ten days after the end of the Battle of Kongtong, the breath of war is still frozen in the mountains and rivers. Lin Qian and Yin'er parted and returned, and the atmosphere here for ten days had not diminished in the slightest.
Majestic three passes, control the five plains, this place should have been a fortress, just met a forest Qian who was born to fight.
Lin Qian and Yin'er, who took risks, returned to Pingliang all the way from Yan'an, but they were never followed or disturbed by a suspicious person on the way, and this plan seems to have failed. Where the traitor is, it is confusing.
The mountains and rivers are restored, and the willows and flowers are bright.
It was not far from the Juxian Bridge at the foot of the Kongtong Mountain, and the huge sound of water could not hide the footsteps of the uninvited guest......
"What a person! come out!" Yin Er was so powerful that he drew his sword as he shouted angrily.
The person who has been sneaking around for a long time finally appeared because he couldn't hide, and unexpectedly, he was an old man.
"Still ......?!" Qian Yin was originally going to lure the traitor to appear, but she didn't expect to be the one who was luring in. Shen is still. About her, Qianyin also has a stomach full of questions. Why did she leave Li Chen, how did she appear in Jinying during the decisive battle of Kongtong Mountain, and it happened that she would have a map of the dense forest labyrinth in her hand.
"Brother Lin, the leader of the alliance ......" At that moment, Shen still burst into tears.
In the valley of the Jing River, the boulder is volleying, the Changhong is horizontal, and the beads are splashed with jade.
"Still. Since Shen still saw them, she had been crying and not speaking, of course Yin'er was surprised, but seeing her step forward and suddenly hug herself like a light dance, Yin'er suddenly understood that for them, she was a person who had disappeared for several years and finally reappeared by Lin Qian's side, no matter what their current situation was, they must have cried for this scene first.
Yin'er choked up too, and didn't know how to ask her - as a woman who was very happy in her eyes, how could Yin'er ask if Li Chen was still abusing you, and did you leave because of Li Chen's abuse...... Coming back?
"Why did you go to Jinying?" Lin Qian asked at this time, and Shen still suddenly froze.
"Many soldiers on Fengxiang Road, Qingyuan Road, and Yanyan Road have said that they have seen you in the Jinying on the opposite side. Not only did you run away from home a few years ago, but you have wandered around Shaanxi for several days and nights without returning. Lin Qian said sharply, and Yin'er was shocked to listen. Shen still looked broken, standing still.
"Shengnan ......" Yin'er heard that his tone was so heavy, and hurriedly persuaded.
"You happen to have a labyrinth map in the battle of Kongtong, which saved me from being trapped in the formation. Only then did I understand that you wanted to infiltrate the Jin Army for details. Lin Qian's tone was mostly opposed, "However, you Shen is still the one who has the ability to protect yourself from the enemy's camp?!, why didn't you mention half a sentence to me in advance?"
"Brother Lin...... I didn't go to the camp to do fine work. I don't have that kind of ability...... I just happened to be waiting on an officer recently, and I saw the map from him. He was drunk, and after saying that Yan Jun asked for your life, I can't see death without saving it. Shen still laughed miserably.
"......" Yin'er heard the sound, Shen still didn't do fine work, but went to be a military prostitute!? Unconsciously, his breathing changed a little.
"Shen Yi, how can you belittle yourself like this?!" Lin Qian was also furious when he heard this. In his heart, because Shen Wang died early, he has always regarded him as a younger person who is still nurtured, cultivated and loved, and this person once had the qualifications to become a heroine like Yin'er.
"Nothing to worry about...... The officer was very fond of me, and said that he would marry me soon, and that he was a good man, and he didn't care about my low status...... Applejack shouldn't be around anymore, though...... I was wondering how to be good, and I happened to come here and see you. Shen still smiled, unable to see the true feelings, "Another day, I will bring Ajie, Brother Lin and the alliance leader happened to have no children under their knees, so they helped me raise Ajie...... Don't let that bastard touch Li Chen......"
"Li Chen is your husband and Ajie's father, and the family of three has to end up like this?!" When Lin Qian snorted, Yin'er was sad, and she was sad because she had no children under her knees.
"Li Chen, he may not be Applejack's father. Shen still smiled shamelessly, "Brother Lin, you asked me six years ago, which one is Applejack's father...... Me, I don't know which one. Maybe it's Senior Brother Lu Xiao, maybe it's Senior Brother Shan Xing, maybe it's Senior Brother Yan Feng...... Haha, there are too many possibilities, still from that time, it was such a woman, Brother Lin and the alliance leader, didn't even see it. β
What kind of scene is this, Lin Qian listened to it angrily and angrily: "Shen is still so self-defeating and self-deprecating, are you worthy of your dead father!?" If the other party was chasing the waves of the sea and wishing Meng to taste any of them, Lin Qian would have slapped him a long time ago.
"Father?!" Shen Yi's expression continued to be fragmented, and at that moment her face was distorted to not look like Shen Yi, "Could it be that Ajie was born to me and my father......?" It's impossible, the days are not right......" laughed and turned to leave, leaving Lin Qian and Yin'er to stand still.
After a long time of relieving herself, Shen was still far away, and Qian Yin hurriedly chased after her, but it was too late, and after chasing her for a while, the footsteps disappeared completely.
"Still her...... Could it be crazy......" Yin'er thought about it carefully, and felt that Shen Yan's words just now did not match the preface, and many places were provoking Lin Qian to try to find a fight, and Yin'er felt sour.
"You're right. Lin Qian's face turned cold, "Still coming to this point, Li Chen can't forgive him." β
But he couldn't question and clean up Li Chen.
After meeting Shen Yi, I walked for a while, and as I walked, I felt that the environment began to be very weird, and the surrounding landscape seemed to have been replayed by some force, and I wanted to go back along the way I came, but after a few hours, I found that I was back in place.
Is it a dense forest labyrinth again? No, this time, half of Kongtong Mountain has been placed in the maze array, which is even more dangerous than the last time in front of the Jiaping Pavilion. As night falls, bears roar and dragons roar, and the tension and mystery of this place soar with time in the dark and supernatural atmosphere, with majestic peaks and towering cliffs, and culverts all over the place, like the eyes and ears of the devil.
"It's over, it's over, it's dead this time!" Unable to find an exit, Yin'er was anxious. According to legend, this kind of dense forest maze array is Liu Yue's most powerful skill, which can be called her killer skill, which has been tried and tested repeatedly, saving the lives of several little princes, and has also been used to protect herself and escape from pursuit. More than 20 years ago, Liu Yue must have carried Yin'er through the labyrinth, but unfortunately, no matter how good Yin'er's memory is, she can't remember the road at that time.
"I really lost when I met your mother. Lin Qian smiled and calmed Yin'er's irritability, not only did he rush out, but instead lit a fire on the spot, sat down next to this woman looking around, and said peacefully, "It's not too early, it's better to rest here for the night, and then find an exit when the light is good." Yin'er responded, and sat down with him, and continued: "This 'Heaven and Earth Labyrinth Array', Jin Ren is placed according to her method, the last time I looked at the front of the Ping, this time half of Kongtong...... I've jumped into the same pit twice in a row, one deeper than the other. β
Actually, not just twice, three times. Last time in the underground palace of Huining County, Lin Qian had seen the prototype of this labyrinth array, and Liu Yue in the couplet group used pavilions, flower paths, and portals to form a gossip and two instruments, and took them out of the underground palace, and with the pure natural landscapes of mountains and rocks, ravines, and forests, they could be placed bigger and hurt people more thoroughly. If it weren't for the fact that he had known about Liu Yue's existence for a long time, Qianyin would have felt that this was the inherent death place of Kongtong Mountain, how could he have thought that people's ideas could be so wonderful!
"I don't know how many people it will take, how much effort it takes, and how long it will take to put this formation out. Yin'er sighed, and Lin Qian's heart moved. Yin'er had already slipped into his arms with a smile, and after a while, he said, "It's all my fault that I'm not good, in order to chase me, I ran too fast." β
"I'm faster than you. Qian also smiled. To tell the truth, they were indeed mistaken by Shen Yi, if it weren't for her sudden departure in a frenzy, causing Lin Qian to chase after her without even thinking about it, it would be impossible for them to lose their vigilance and fall into the labyrinth formation in an instant-is that? Could it be that the Jin people had already set up this formation and let Shen still bring them in?! Otherwise, such a big formation would take shape so quickly, and how could they have predicted that Lin Qian would definitely come here?!
In an instant, all the hurtful words of spy traitor and spy broke into her mind, and none of the possibilities that Lin Qian had imagined before involved such a result-"Shen Yi", she appeared unexpectedly but naturally......
She has been active in the various territories of Qingyuan Road and Yanlu since a few years ago, wandering among the various gold camps, and if she is the traitor who betrayed the Yanlu stronghold, it is not impossible? Imagine that she can take advantage of her drunkenness to pull out the maze map from the officers of the Jin Army, and she can also use similar methods to deal with Tian Shouzhong or his cronies. It is true that Lin Qian can't bear to accept this idea, but when it is generated, it must not be ignored. You must know that Tian Ruoye after the Battle of Longnan was also arrested by the Jin people to be a military prostitute, Tian Shouzhong and other Tian Jiajun have absolute sympathy and a strong sense of closeness to this former family host, and because the lord and mother both like Shen Yi and will not fortify too much. Even Lin Qian, before today, felt that Shen still went to be a military prostitute to do fine work in order to resist gold, which was understandable......
But Shen is still her, and it is impossible to be arrested. Shicai herself said that she was voluntary, and Song Jun didn't have her hope, so she might as well go to Jinying to find someone who really loved her. How many words came true, Lin Qian couldn't say. Finely made, finely made...... In fact, you can think about it from another angle, Shen still may not want to be a fine work of Song, but may also have betrayed to make a fine work of gold. The three major conditions for a traitor: to be very close to Lin Qian, she can achieve it, to have martial arts, she has it, to have a heart knot, she has too many heart knots.
Then, on the Wangjiaping, she showed the way to the allies and led them out of the labyrinth, which can also be understood as her gaining trust from Lin Qian, the purpose of which was to pave the way for this bigger labyrinth, and Lin Qian needed to be completely unwary of her. After all, Jin Ren's goal has always been Lin Qian. Wangjiaping is just a practice, this time it is real, and it is more certain.
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, the person who led the snake out of the hole was her.
Otherwise, it was she who betrayed the drunken Jin army officer to save Lin Qian and help Lin Qian win the battle of Kongtong, and the traitors in the allied army should know that she had even seen her at that time, and her participation in the war was not a secret Jin army only needs to investigate deeply to find out, so why did the Jin army keep her and not kill her? Unless, the Jin army wants to use her......
What's more, Shen still not only easily met the time conditions of this February Yanlu, but she was indeed in Shouyang Mountain in January - when Lin Qian took Guo Ao and Yin'er to worship the purple rain of Shan Xing that day, she had seen two footprints, one large and one small, next to the tomb of Shan Xing, belonging to a woman and a child, obviously her own but refused to show up. From Shen Yicai's words, it can be heard that Applejack may be the descendant of a single line...... Shen who said this sentence was still crazy, but Shen who said this sentence still missed her at that time, but things were wrong.
"Yin'er, is it still weird?" Lin Qian didn't tell Yin'er about the doubts in his heart, and only asked about Shen still being a military prostitute. Those messy thoughts that have not yet taken shape must not be casually convinced, arbitrarily fixed, and must not be spread to others.
"Hmm...... How could she be blamed. She's a poor person. She said that she didn't mean anything. The topic of Yin'er is still on the "no children under the knees".
"I'm so talented, I really shouldn't do that to her. Lin Qian sighed, "She has always been a child in my heart, but how much can I really know about her." More or less, I've been neglecting her for a few years. She's on the wrong track now, and it's my responsibility to pull her back. β
Yin'er smiled stupidly, staring at him for a long, long time.
"What?" he looked back at her.
"Paternalism. Yin'er laughed.
"After I go out this time, I will definitely talk to her deeply. As long as she's saved. He had to verify whether Tian Shouzhong's death was related to Shen Yi. Those who have betrayed the Allies, he can give a second chance, weigh the priorities of the matter, or blame the past, or take the blame. Of course, if he missensed her, Shen still did not defect and was purely willing to be a military prostitute, and he also hoped that she was not terminally ill.
In the silence, untouchable ghost fires rise and fall, like ghosts wandering and flickering in the mountains and forests, glowing green and dragging blue. A timid woman must not dare to sleep, and that guy has already started snoring. Lin Qian smiled and hugged her in his arms, looking at the surrounding scene with rare relief. There are too many things to do, but it's the easiest here. However, how can people covet a momentary ease to evacuate the chaos......?
