The Eastern Army was stationed in Jiazhou City for repairs, and according to intelligence, during the previous siege battle, the 2,000 reinforcements who came to support Jiazhou came from Huasu City in the west of Jiazhou, which was also the next target of the Eastern Army. And that battle seemed to be on the vitality of Huasu City, and the Eastern Army had been stationed for six or seven days, but there was no situation.

But no one thinks that this kind of stable life can go on. It can be said that it is very abrupt to occupy a Jiazhou like this, and it is impossible for the Lin family not to come out with this breath, so in the past few days, the Eastern Army has been waiting for it, and if there are no reinforcements, not only can they not attack, but it is a matter of defending this city.

In order to prevent being caught off guard by the other party, Liu Ziwen ordered the spies to be placed farther away, always reporting the situation in all directions.

Ye Pei hasn't done anything special these days, and she still teaches her son Qingrong boxing every day. Counting it, the eldest lady has been learning martial arts for a while, so there are more than fifty chapters...... Ahem, it's been almost a year anyway. Ye Pei also sighed from time to time about this matter, wondering how Wangmai's relatives and friends had been doing in the nearly a year since she came to Yandi.

However, he couldn't go back, not to mention that he didn't know how he would look back if the Demon Gate Valley was not opened, so he said that he couldn't go back to the mission he was carrying. Astral ...... How far away, and what a goal to counterattack the Star Clan.

"Leaves!"

Ye Pei came back to her senses suddenly, and smiled at Zi Qingrong: "Ha...... Distracted. I'll see...... The right hand is a little higher. ”

......

It is true that such a seemingly stable day did not last long, but it was actually a bit redundant for everyone to worry about the other party's attack, and the Lin family always thought that he was the master of the king, even if he lost a battle, it was not a big deal, although he lost some face, but the Lin family still announced that he was going to fight back with a very high attitude.

A few days later, a piece of news clearly told the people of the world that Lin Yuzhe, the next lord of the Lin clan and the son of Lin He, took a group of generals and ordered 30,000 elite soldiers, and was already on his way here. By the way, he emphasized that Dongfang Boyi's trip did not follow the mandate of heaven and violated the will of God, which was really a great rebellion, and more seriously, he also colluded with Ye Pei, the public enemy of Yandi, which was simply heinous, and not killing was not enough to anger the people.

In this sprinkling announcement, by the way, it was accompanied by a group of generals who had damaged the Eastern Army, and what rabble and insects dared to challenge the might of the tiger...... In short, it is extremely ridiculous.

When he received the news from the soldiers at noon, Ye Pei was sitting in a tavern with Jiang Zhongqing drinking with a few local residents.

"Heh, the people are angry?" Ye Pei smiled and looked at the Jiazhou people who were drinking with him next to him, "Brother, do you hate me?"

The man smiled: "Ye Shaoxia, you have not bothered us since you were stationed here, and Ye Shaoxia's thing in Wangmai is simply a hero's doing, how can I hate you?"

A mocking smile hung on the corner of Ye Pei's mouth, "Lin Yuzhe...... Presumably, it was the death of the three brothers of the Lin family that made him this prince...... In this case, I will demolish the ancestral hall of your Lin family. ”

Afterwards, Ye Pei put down the wine money, said hello, and returned to the barracks with Jiang Zhongqing.

When they returned to the barracks, they were already sitting in their tents and began to discuss the matter.

Although Dongfang Boyi was devalued in that announcement, it didn't seem that he was so angry. Some of the generals below were already indignant, but Yang Tianrui, who was the leader, did not have anything wrong.

"Brother Yang, what do you think?" Ye Pei asked as soon as he sat down.

Yang Tianrui smiled: "It's nothing, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, as for this Lin Yuzhe...... It's just a complete, and I don't care what he says. ”

Ye Pei nodded, "But those 30,000 elite soldiers must not be false, we still have to prepare early." ”

Liu Ziwen continued: "Indeed. I have already sent people to collect timber and stone in the surrounding mountains and fields for defense, and it has only been half a month since I asked for reinforcements, and at the speed of the marching army, it will be about half a month to rush over. ”

"Well...... Ye Pei thought for a moment, "but with four thousand troops...... In addition, the number of people who can fight after healing may be close to 5,000, which is not an easy task to withstand the siege of 30,000 people. ”

Yang Tianrui said: "Why don't we imitate Jiazhou's practice at that time and take the initiative to attack and behead him in front of the city?"

Dongfang Boyi said: "I'm afraid that they will take a direct attack on the city and not fight us alone." ”

At this point, the meeting fell into a brief silence. The generals below didn't say anything at this time, they just waited for the above to decide how to fight the war, and they just had to listen to orders.

Suddenly, Ye Pei said: "It's better to be like this, they told us so loudly that it's really unreasonable for us not to take advantage of it." If I want to kill their generals, Zhong Qing and I will go on a trip and assassinate them in the city on the way, and if we can kill Lin Yuzhe, we will make a lot of money. ”

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Liu Ziwen's mouth rose suddenly, almost for a moment, and it had already turned into a contemplative expression again, and no one noticed this instantaneous change.

Yang Tianrui frowned and said, "This is too dangerous, I don't want you to go." Miss Zi would certainly not agree. ”

Ye Pei said: "The benefits outweigh the risks, I think it's okay." With my light work, no matter how bad it is, I can go. Zhong Qing's swordsmanship is mysterious, and there is also a way to escape. As for my wife......"

Ye Pei frowned and thought for a while, "Don't tell her, I shouldn't be in too much danger." ”

Yang Tianrui is not an indecisive person, as soon as Ye Pei said this, he also nodded, "Okay! Brother Ye Xian is a young hero, I Yang Tianrui admires! So, I will set up a table tonight, and the two of you will set off tomorrow." ”

Ye Pei smiled: "Brother Yang, don't worry, don't say it as if I'm going to commit suicide." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Ye Pei was worried that Jiazhou would be attacked after he left, and Yang Tianrui had no choice but to come forward, so he hurriedly made a mask for Yang Tianrui to wear. And Yang Tianrui is also full of praise for Ye Pei's disguise technique.

Ye Pei has not experienced many defeats since she broke into the rivers and lakes. For this trip, he really didn't pay attention to it. In his opinion, 30,000 people are a no-man's land that can be freely entered and exited. Maybe it's because he's conceited, maybe it's because he's arrogant. Attacking the Lin clan is also a thing that he wants to accomplish, and the sadness of losing his father can no longer be seen on his face, but he has always had an idea in his heart, only by destroying the Lin clan, his father's blood feud will really be avenged.

"Qingrong," Ye Pei thought for a long time, "I have to leave here for a few days tomorrow." ”

Zi Qingrong, who was reading a book, was shocked when he heard this, and turned around and said, "Where are you going?"

Ye Pei said: "It's nothing, go to the front to find out the news." ”

Zi Qingrong frowned and said, "What news are you going to investigate? It's not that there are no spies below!"

Ye Pei walked up to her and said: "This battle is different from the past, Lin Yuzhe has 30,000 elite soldiers with many generals, and it is safer for me to go to explore the situation in person." ”

Zi Qingrong still didn't believe it: "That...... There are also a lot of capable generals below, and your status in this coalition army is quite high, so there is no need for you to go. ”

Ye Pei smiled bitterly: "I have made great contributions, and I am very suitable for this relatively difficult reconnaissance work, there is no danger." ”

Hearing this, Zi Qingrong lowered his eyelids and bit his lip, raised his head and said, "Do you have to go?"

Ye Pei looked at her expression in front of her, and nodded: "Go." ”

Zi Qingrong tilted his head and leaned into Ye Pei's arms and said, "Then you can go...... If it's in danger, don't do it, just check it out, and the reinforcements will be coming. ”

Ye Pei gently stroked her hair and said softly: "Qingrong, I remember I told you that girls are too smart...... Often not having a very good time. ”

Early the next morning, Ye Pei and Jiang Zhongqing left Jiazhou and went straight west on a fast horse, and arrived at the city where Lin Yuzhe's troops were stationed, Linzhuang, three days later.

During this period, the cities closer to Jiazhou have all begun to have curfews. But Linzhuang is not close to Jiazhou, if you call all the way, there are still four cities in the middle, so there is no curfew in Linzhuang, Ye Pei and Jiang Zhongqing easily entered the city to live.

"Brother Pei," the two of them were sitting in the restaurant eating at this time, "There are a lot of troops stationed in the outer city." ”

Ye Pei nodded: "Yes, but if Lin Yuzhen is indeed a gentleman, he will definitely not live in the barracks anymore, and he should be in the City Lord's Mansion." And Lin Zhuang ...... Most of the cities with such a name are the Lin family's cronies, let's wait until the night and go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look. ”

During the day, Ye Pei and Jiang Zhongqing walked around the city for a long time, basically figuring out a large area between the inn where they were and the City Lord's Mansion.

"Brother Pei, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion in this Lin Zhuang are a bit strong. Jiang Zhongqing said.

Ye Pei nodded: "It is reasonable that a city lord's mansion should not have so many troops garrisoned, if we look at it this way, we can basically be sure that Lin Yuzhen lives here." For the sake of insurance, I mean don't go into this city lord's mansion, and it's easier to find trouble with those generals in the outer city. ”

At night, the two changed into night clothes and set off.

In the outer city at night, there are still groups of soldiers patrolling, and it can be seen that the army brought by Lin Yuzhen does have very high combat effectiveness. In such a safe city, the current strict night patrol can be seen that these 30,000 people have a very strong executive power, and whether an army is strong or not is inextricably related to its executive power.

In this case, Ye Pei and Jiang Zhongqing quietly climbed the city wall of the inner city.

With two extremely small blades cutting meat, the two city guards in the inner city quietly fell, and the two figures flashed in the shadows, opening the prelude to the "Night of Fear".
