Chapter 152: The true intention of the imperial court is difficult to decompose

Shen Linfeng had an indifferent expression on his face.

"Didn't he just say that he was the son of the third prince of the capital. ”

The old beggar said in shock: "Third prince, aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid?" Shen Linfeng sneered.

"If I was afraid, I wouldn't have beaten him just now. ”

The old beggar hurriedly followed, and said, "So what's the matter...... He will definitely come back to get revenge on you. And I'm not cursing you by following you, but for your own good. ”

"Haha...... Collect my body?"

The old beggar nodded solemnly.

"Then I thank you for your kindness, please go back to your old man!" Shen Linfeng replied with a smile.

"How can that be done? I won't be relieved to leave you alone to die in the wilderness!"

Shen Linfeng was upset by him, and was about to scold. Suddenly, a squad of officers and soldiers appeared in the depths of the woods. There were not many of them, and they were leaning against the tree with a lazy expression, and they were chatting with each other without a word.

Shen Linfeng had already hidden behind a thick tree at this time, and he showed half of his head and carefully observed the distance.

The old beggar was even more exaggerated, Shen Linfeng hid behind a tree, and he hid behind Shen Linfeng. The head came out from under Shen Linfeng's arm, and a pair of eyes stared at the soldiers in the distance at the same time.

Shen Linfeng couldn't bear him anymore, so he pushed him out.

"I'm telling you, stay honest and don't get me in trouble. After speaking, he continued to look at the soldiers chatting in the distance.

To say that although this old beggar is crazy, he is not stupid in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have kindly wanted to collect the body for Shen Linfeng, and at this moment, he saw that Shen Linfeng deliberately avoided the officers and soldiers, as well as the direction in which he was walking......

The old beggar smiled and said softly, "Where are you going?"

Shen Linfeng frowned.

"You don't need to care where you go, now you give me and disappear immediately, otherwise...... Don't blame me for being unkind. Shen Linfeng raised his fist at the old beggar.

"Hehe......" This time the old beggar was not afraid to laugh.

"Even if you don't say it, I know where you want to go!"

Shen Linfeng turned around and swung his fist to fight.

"You want to go to the southern suburbs, don't you?" said the old beggar, covering his face.

Shen Linfeng put down his raised fist again, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind. Hurriedly said, "Do you know how to go?"

"Do you really want to go to the southern suburbs?" cried out the old beggar in some surprise.

"Shh......h Be quiet!" Shen Linfeng hurriedly dragged the old beggar to squat under the tree.

"Do you know how to get around in the southern suburbs?"

"Knowing is knowing, but it's just ......" The old beggar glanced at the officers and soldiers in the distance.

"You mean, the road to the southern suburbs is guarded by officers and soldiers?"

The old beggar nodded.

"When did they lay down their officers and soldiers here?"

The old beggar brushed the dirty hair on the side of his face.

"Probably in ...... Five or six days ago!"

"Five or six days ago?" Shen Linfeng muttered in his heart.

"That basically coincides with the time when Ling'er was arrested, after Ling'er is arrested, Xu Zhenjiang will definitely notify the people of the Demon Sect as soon as possible. And the Demon Sect will naturally inform Xu Zhenjiang of the location of the handover, that is, the southern suburbs. But there is one thing that Shen Linfeng can't understand from beginning to end, and that is the government's actions. ”

"First, it stands to reason that the rally in Nanyang is a matter in the rivers and lakes, and if the government is worried that there will be chaos, then it will send heavy troops to guard it. But what Shen Linfeng saw was not like this, first it was the gatekeeper of Southern Emperor City. He said that Nandi City originally did not allow people from the rivers and lakes to enter, but then said that this time it was an exception. Is it because the imperial court opened the door to facilitate the smooth completion of the Jianghu assembly? This is obviously not in line with common sense. ”

"Second, as Shen Linfeng just saw, there is nothing special about the southern suburbs. It was nothing more than a bare wood, and he had asked around before leaving the city. The officers and soldiers have never set up any control over that place, and both the people in the city and passers-by can come here to play at will. And now...... Why did the imperial court set up layers of guards at the time and place where the Demon Sect handed over the people? Why did they meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes? Not to mention...... They're still guarding the Demon Sect!"

Shen Linfeng thought about it, and a terrible thought suddenly passed through his heart. This kind of sign made him have to suspect that there was someone in the court secretly helping the Demon Sect. The reason why I think this way is because the Nanyang assembly was planned by the Demon Sect, and the imperial court, which should not have interfered, suddenly intervened. Secondly, this southern suburb is the place where the Demon Sect receives hostages, and the imperial court, which has never fortified here, sent people to fortify the southern suburbs when the hostages are about to arrive.

Shen Linfeng dragged the old beggar in front of him again.

"Tell me, is there any other way to the southern suburbs?"

The old beggar looked at Shen Linfeng and shook his head firmly.

"Let me ask you again, is there anyone else in the southern suburbs besides the officers and soldiers?"

The old beggar slapped his mud-stained cotton trousers.

"The officers and soldiers are so tightly guarded, how can I know if there are any suspicious people inside?"

Shen Linfeng thought about it...... How could he, an old man in sloppy clothes and delirium, enter the southern suburbs, which were guarded by officers and soldiers?

But on second thought...... If these officers and soldiers are guarding for the Demon Sect. Since they are still there, it means that the hostages that the Demon Sect wants have most likely not yet arrived here.

In other words, if these officers and soldiers had nothing to do with the Demon Sect's actions this time. According to the old beggar's words, the officers and soldiers had been waiting here for five or six days. In these five or six days, even if Ling'er and them arrived in Nandi City, it would be impossible to pass the strict guard of officers and soldiers. Unless...... They temporarily changed the place of delivery.

If this is the case, then Shen Linfeng has nothing to do. However, as far as these two speculations are concerned, Shen Linfeng believes in the former even more. In other words, Ling'er should still be on the way now.

Shen Linfeng glanced at the officers and soldiers chatting in the distance again, then turned around and left.

"Oh, hey, why are you leaving? Don't you go to the southern suburbs?"

"I'm not going!" Shen Lin said without looking back.

"And where are you going?"

Shen Linfeng saw him cautiously following behind him, so he opened his mouth and shouted, "Go to your house!"

Nandi City.

When Shen Linfeng rushed back to the mansion, the dark sentinel sent by Qiu Ningxue had already returned a few ways.

Seeing Shen Linfeng's figure, Qiu Ningxue hurriedly came out of the courtyard.

"Brother Shen, you're back!"

Shen Linfeng saw that her face was full of joy, and he must have found out the news of Ling'er.

"Found them?"

"Well, this group is walking very slowly, when the sentry finds out. They are still nearly a hundred miles away from Nandi City!"

"Okay! Keep sending someone to watch their every move!"

"Yes, I know!"
