Chapter 639: The Lin Family Who Makes Holes Everywhere
Hill knew that An Pengfei was trying to explain why they made mistakes in Anjia: Although they attached great importance to matters related to Hill, they definitely did not rise to the level of causing such a big incident.
In their hearts, a great mage like Hill, who had just arrived in Shoulong, would never become an entry point for others to deal with Anjia.
Without a complete understanding of a great mage's abilities, most people would choose to wait and see for the time being.
An Ran actually explained to Hill that they had informed the major forces in Renhe City of Hill's identity the next morning, but they didn't expect that the enemy would react so quickly and that the young master of the Bai family would be so stupid.
A familiar dandy from aristocratic families would first find out the person's identity and background before finding fault with others. Who knew that fool from the Bai family would believe what an outsider said?
If it were anyone else, An Jia might feel that An Jia was shirking responsibility, but Hill felt that this explanation was very reasonable.
If Zhentarim had the opportunity to cause trouble for Hill, he would never spare any effort and use all his strength to do so, let alone gold, silver and jewelry.
The gangsters of the Japanese Empire have always been notoriously poor. In order to make money, even high-level samurai and ninjas would fish in the sea and mine in the fields.
But Hill also knew that although this incident started with him, the purpose was not for him.
When Zhentarim's allies were doing dirty work, it was normal for Hill to get involved and even make him the culprit of a riot. Anyone would like to make some spare money.
The real purpose of this dirty work is obviously to sow discord between the aristocratic family and the Shoulong royal family.
Anjia must have some big plan and have a great influence on Shoulong. That's why he became a thorn in the eyes of these spies.
Otherwise, there is no need to specifically choose the Treasure Building to deal with Hill.
Now, no matter which side fails, Anjia will be put under the spotlight and carefully observed.
The An family will go out of their way to find An Pengfei, and Hill suspects that this matter has something to do with him.
An Pengfei didn't put the blame on Hill. He probably knew about Hill's specialness from An Ran, so he was very sincere when he spoke. He just pointed out why the spies dealing with the An family would take Hill's specialness.
I will make a raft.
It is important to emphasize that it was definitely not someone from the An family who used him as bait.
Hill listened to the words of the An family master indifferently. This kind of elite cultivated by an aristocratic family was really incompatible with him.
In fact, he would rather deal with that hypocritical fat man Enron.
The Japanese don't know how many secret spies are lurking in Haidong Province.
Even including the time on Yingbin Island, Hill had only been in Shoulong for two days, yet he was actually included in someone else's complete plan.
Even if the young master of the Bai family is stupid enough, he can at least prove how fast these spies can deliver news.
An Pengfei took Hill through the courtyards guarded by rows of guards wearing fish scale armor, and led him to the east side of the main courtyard of Wubao: "According to our tradition of receiving dragons, the eldest son will always live in the east.
side."
"Is this Lin Yi really from the Lin family?" Hill couldn't help but ask.
"The mother of Mr. Lin's son has been frail and sick and recuperating in the countryside. His father has many concubines and many concubines. Several of them are very favored and own boats and shops.
But Lin Yi only had a few dowry ships belonging to his mother and no supply of goods.
So no one thinks it's strange that he is among the dandies as the eldest son, and that idiot from the Bai family can fill up his ships with just a few benefits."
Hill keenly understood the meaning of An Pengfei's words. This Lin Yi was indeed a bloodline of the Lin family.
These aristocratic families seem to have unique ways of confirming this.
"I don't know if Mr. Hill understands one of the characteristics of the Japanese people. They respect the clan, whether it is the father's line or the mother's line. They don't care about the surname, only who has the highest status." An Pengfei opened a door and said,
Inviting Hill sideways, "Sometimes, if a female son of a big clan marries a lower-level clan, then the family is controlled by the mistress. In fact, it is the lord of the big clan who chooses a daughter for his daughter and can make the decision on his own.
The place.
Women are also ambitious, and their attack angles are also more tricky.
This time, the counselors of the An family made a mistake in their judgment. The head of the family had already recruited some female members who were away from home, hoping that they could analyze the future movements of the Lin family's mistress.
Especially places where we don’t think it matters, but from a female perspective, we think we can give it a try.”
An Pengfei tried to make his words a little more subtle, but in fact he was saying that the Lin family were very loyal subordinates of a certain great lord of the Japanese Empire, and even married an ambitious princess from the lord.
Whether it is for ambition or so-called loyalty, they have been lurking in the Shoulong Empire for hundreds of years. After all, it has been decades since the Lin family moved to Haidong.
The reason why the mother and son dared to directly abandon the Lin family and escape must be because they believed in the loyalty of the Lin family, or that they believed that their methods could keep the Lin family silent about their identities.
The An family must have used very cruel methods to get the Lin family to tell the truth so quickly, even telling the secret that the mother and son could not return to the Japanese Empire.
Otherwise, the An family would not let their clan members come back. Hill could tell that these people had serious business to do outside.
The status of women in the Shoulong Empire is not low. As long as they are capable and ambitious, both the family and the empire will give them corresponding power.
Hill didn't think much about it. It was normal to use any method against spies, and it had nothing to do with him.
The most important thing for him was to find Lin Yi's traces.
He slowly inspected the Sanjin Mansion in front of him. It was indeed the residence of his eldest son. It had a lush courtyard, surrounded by creeks, and lined with mountains and rocks.
An Pengfei took him to the large second entrance courtyard, which was Lin Yi's living room.
"Mr. Bolaño, the ground where the study room is located in the front yard has been dug up three feet, and basically nothing can be found.
There are many agencies here in the middle courtyard, and we are still carefully searching for secret rooms and other places."
Hill raised his hand to stop An Pengfei's words and patted an inconspicuous little head on his robe.
Five or six little brown elves timidly raised their heads.
"Can you please help me see where the secret rooms are in this yard?" Hill asked them in Elvish.
Although the little ones were still a little scared, Hill stood nearby and gave them courage. They all knew that Hill was a more powerful being than their queen.
The corner of Hill's eyes kept glancing at the An family members. It was normal for people to speak the common language Shulong, but not many people in Faerûn could understand the ancient Elvish language that Hill used.
However, both An Ran and An Pengfei understood it, and even the team leader who was responsible for handling the yard who came to whisper to An Pengfei could understand it.
Sure enough, Anjia's goal is not Faerûn, but the elves.
Or the Elf Fleet?
Aglaia City is indeed the force they can find that has the closest relationship with the elves, and they can talk to it.
Because of some problems in ancient times, the relationship between the elves and the Shoulong Empire is not good. Now, when the maritime fleets of the two countries meet, they will still have disputes.
But not to the point of being enemies, more just because of personality differences.
There are too many rules among dragon-men. Even talking to them makes the elf feel tired, let alone dealing with them. Before the work is done, the elf wants to overturn the table.
Hill had no intention of exposing them.
Since the An family wants to build a good relationship with Hill slowly and then plan for the future, then they should do it slowly!
It's not him who's anxious anyway.
Exposed and given them the opportunity to follow the stick, Hill had no intention of doing so.
He told An Pengfei in a slow tone: "Follow my brown spirits, they can find all the secret rooms."
Then Hill put out a sofa under the ginkgo tree in the atrium and sat down.
He was leaning back on the sofa, looking like he was concentrating with his eyes closed, obviously not wanting to continue talking to anyone.
An Pengfei quickly stopped his subordinates, whose expressions darkened, and felt that Hill's attitude was arrogant: These people are all direct descendants of the An family who came back from the military camp outside the city after the incident, and they don't know Hill's identity yet.
If he were an ordinary archmage, standing on the territory of Haidong Province, he would have to give face to him, the eldest son of a local snake family, but this one couldn't.
The eldest son of the An family's face is worthless in front of someone who is stronger than his own great witch.
After giving the guy a hint and kicking him to quickly follow the brown spirits, An Pengfei respectfully stayed by Hill's side and dispersed everyone except An Ran.
The few silent followers around the Archmage follow a certain formation when standing or even walking. No matter what happens, they can immediately form a formation to protect their master, and there is no need for anyone from Anjia to protect them.
As long as he and An Ran are here to accompany him, no one else is qualified.
The Lin family is like a ground rat, digging holes everywhere and having many agencies, requiring a lot of manpower.
An Pengfei glanced at the knights with a little envy. The army formation on Shoulong's side was stronger, but this small formation was really not as good as that on Faerun's side.
If the great knights in Faerun knew what An Pengfei was thinking, they would probably just want to have a good discussion with him.
Faerûn's battle formation can only give bonuses to a thousand people at best, so the great knights have to take the lead and charge forward.
The high-ranking knights in Faerûn would be so envious of Shoulong's military formation that can give bonuses to hundreds of thousands of people. The main generals only need to stand at the rear and command!
Who wants to risk their lives if they can survive?
Hill ignored the movement around him and was carefully analyzing the information brought by the wind.
The smell here in Toril was too mixed, and most of the time it was the stench caused by evil. It had been a long time since he had blended into the wind like this.
After a little bit of dissection and a little bit of exploration, Hill finally analyzed the evil aura with a bit of volcanic flavor.
It's obviously the smell of a volcano, but it gives people a cold and cruel feeling, with a hint of stickiness.
