That night, no one in Linshan City could sleep.

Since Zhu Kuan became the lord of Linshan, the city has become increasingly empty. Later, there were too few people and the army had to live without servants and food, so the remaining people survived.

The box of hateful thoughts cannot be closed once it is opened, and from time to time some people will be lost in the city.

Everyone is so scared that they stay locked up at night, for fear that they will become food on their plate.

Tonight, shortly after nightfall, they were awakened by the sound of crying and howling, shouting at the sky and the earth, miserable and desperate, and the raging fire turned half of the sky red.

The adults were holding their children and shivering, their eyes numb and frightened.

What happened in the military camp? Did they go out to arrest people again? How many people were killed!

These people's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Will they arrest people from the city again? Can I still survive?

The long night finally passed, the fire gradually went out, and the screams gradually subsided.

At daybreak, the city gate opened.

Several horses galloped in, and the leader was actually a female general. She held a notice in her hand and announced loudly: "Listen, people in Linshan, the red thief is dead. From today on, you no longer need to be enslaved by him!"

The horse went back and forth several times, reaching every house. The people couldn't believe their ears, but every word was so clear.

They opened the door with doubts and saw that the guard had changed.

The village chief was called to the government office, and soon came back ecstatically, shouting: "It's true! The evil man is dead! The Linshan Guards are gone! They were all burned! Folks, we are saved!"

It turns out that the fire last night burned those evil people!

"God opens your eyes, God opens your eyes!" The old woman with white hair burst into tears and knelt down with her grandson in her arms and kowtowed.

Her son and daughter-in-law had gone out to work, but when they didn't come back one day, they were kidnapped by the Linshan Guards. She herself was not afraid of death when she was old, but her grandson was only three years old, so she was afraid that one day those evil people would target her.

Now it's fine, she finally doesn't have to worry, and her son and daughter-in-law's revenge has been avenged!

She was not the only one crying bitterly. The whole street and even the whole city were filled with crying. Some people cried and laughed.

God opens his eyes, God opens his eyes!

After they finished venting their emotions, they finally started to focus on another matter: "Who killed the villain? Who will control us in the future?"

The chief wiped away his tears and replied happily: "It's Mr. Yan and Miss Xu San. Have you heard of it? Mr. Yan's father is Zhao Guogong, and Miss Xu San is from Nanyuan. They are engaged.

, Young Master Yan came to pick up his fiancée. On the way, he encountered Linshan guards doing evil, so he got rid of them."

"Duke Zhao? But the Duke Zhao who attacked the false emperor?"

"Yes! That's him!"

"It turned out to be his young master. This Second Young Master Yan is a great man. He was the one who defeated the Yuzhou Guard."

"Have you not heard of Miss Xu San? People in Chu region say that she is the daughter of Xuannv who came down to punish evil and eradicate evil."

"Good man... May the Buddha bless you two to have a happy marriage for hundreds of years."

Xu Yin and Yan Ling are already in the government office now.

Linshan is Zhu Kuan's territory, and this government office is just a decoration.

Xu Yin sat down and yawned.

Yan Ling then said: "If you are sleepy, go to sleep. The Puppet Emperor will not arrive so soon, so there is no rush for a day or two."

Xu Yin nodded and asked him: "Did you ask someone to deliver the letter?"

"Hmm. Linshan is like this. If no one can take over, I'll ask my father to pick someone to come over. After all, it's a city!"

"Then we wait until someone arrives before setting off?"

"good."

After the two discussed, the house over there was also tidied up. Xu Yin went to rest first. Yan Ling took care of the things in the camp and went to sleep.

The young people felt well, and when they woke up, it was already dusk.

After the two of them finished eating, the commander came over to report.

"Sir, we found this in Zhu Kuan's tent."

Yan Ling took it and took a look and found that it was a burned gift list. He remembered: "By the way, where is the noble envoy Zhu Kuan entertained?"

The situation was too chaotic at that time, and Yan Ling's thoughts were not focused on that person.

The commander reported with a look of shame on his face: "My subordinates didn't pay attention at the time. Later, when I took inventory, I found the corpse of the envoy."

Yan Ling understood that with so much chaos in the camp last night, who could care about the noble envoy. He just felt that someone who associates with people like Zhu Kuan must not be a good person. If he could figure it out, he would have an idea.

Xu Yin looked through the gift list and said, "This person is so generous. It doesn't feel like a normal gift."

Yan Ling looked over.

Xu Yin clicked on the gift list: "Look, this gift is a bit too heavy? There are only a few thousand Linshan Guards under Zhu Kuan, right?"

Yan Ling thought deeply: "To give such a heavy gift, one must either ask for help from the person or deliberately make friends with him."

This was even more strange. Xu Yin was confused: "Is there anything Zhu Kuan can ask others to ask for?"

Yan Ling thought for a while and said, "Bring me the map."

"yes."

The maps were quickly brought and spread out on the table. Yan Ling held up the lamp to shine on them little by little.

Xu Yin's eyes slowly followed his fingers back and forth, and his expression became serious.

"Someone wants to plot against the Yan family?"

Yan Ling put down the lamp, exhaled and nodded.

Linshan is a small city, but it is only a day's journey from Yuzhou. There are little-known paths in the middle. If someone takes advantage of it, there is a high possibility of a surprise attack.

Who is the one?

Yan Ling clicked on the map a few times: "These are all suspects."

Xu Yin looked at it for a while, but shook his head: "I don't think it's the case."

Yan Ling asked with eyes.

Xu Yin said: "Among these people, the strongest one is He Xingjun. You and I both know Mr. Chu Jiu to a certain extent. Do you think he would do such a thing?"

Yan Ling also knew what happened in the Hexing Prince's Mansion through several letters with this cheap sworn brother. He pondered for a long time and shook his head: "Chu Jiu likes to be safe when doing things. It is impossible to attack rashly when you are not sure."

Xu Yin agreed: "I helped him because I saw this. He knows very well that He Xing's strength cannot be your enemy, so I don't think he will. As for the remaining few, they are more powerful than He Xing's army.

Why not, how can I have the confidence to attack you secretly?"

"Then what do you think is..."

Xu Yin's fingers slowly slid from Linshan to the right.

Yan Ling's face was solemn: "Jiangbei."

Xu Yin nodded: "You didn't consider Jiang Yi just now because Jiangbei and Linshan are separated by Xiongqing Mountain. But what if Xiongqing Mountain Road has already been in Jiang Yi's hands?"

Yan Ling pursed her lips and had to admit the possibility.

"Jiang Yi has been keeping a low profile and biding his time. He has strength and courage."

Jiang Yi was an ambitious man in his previous life. He was so quiet in this life because he suffered many setbacks in the early stage and failed to rise strongly through the Dongjiang River. But Xu Yin did not dare to underestimate him. A tiger will always be a tiger, and one day he will show his strength.

tooth.

"I understand." Yan Ling said, "I will tell my father when I get back."

On the morning of the third day, people sent by the Duke of Zhao arrived.

Yan Ling entrusted him with the matters here and still took Xuan Tiewei back.
