Lin Yi left Jinzhou alone and headed towards Fengxiang. When passing by Hezhou, Lin Yi took a rest. Now Zhou Liang, Taishi Yulang and others are stationed in Hezhou.
Lin Yi told his uncle that Zeng Tengyun would soon lead Jinzhou troops to replace him. By then, the southern border would also be waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack on Beifu.
Zhou Liang also knew that there would be a new round of cruel competition between the north and the south after the new year. Now that the north no longer has the advantage, the south has hope of winning the final victory. This made Zhou Liang very excited.
Zhou Liangdao: "After Zeng Tengyun came, I also stayed in Hezhou. Your grandpa's enemy must be avenged. I will kill Beifu together with you."
Lin Yi said: "Uncle, I will avenge grandpa. Jinzhou is very important now. The families of our heroes in the southern border are all in Jinzhou. If something goes wrong in the Jinzhou branch, it will be over. So uncle, you are the only one in the battle.
Only then can I rest assured. And the leader Zuo will do his best to help my uncle defend Jinzhou."
Zhou Liangdao: "In this case, I will go back to defend Jinzhou first. When the final attack on Beifu comes, I will definitely participate."
Lin Yi said: "Okay."
Lin Yi made some arrangements before leaving Hezhou and continuing on his way.
On the evening of the third day of the trip, Lin Yi missed the village and ended up without a shop or a village. Lin Yi stayed at a hunter's house at the foot of a nearby mountain.
That family was a family of four, a couple and a son and daughter.
The boy is in his teens and the girl is only five or six years old.
The couple seemed to be honest people. Lin Yi gave them some money, and the couple were even more attentive to their guests. They settled Lin Yi in a small house next to them. They also cooked white flour buns for Lin Yi and made some
Game. Then the food was delivered to Lin Yi’s house.
Of course, Lin Yi couldn't eat this meal without any precautions. Lin Yi excused himself that he was not used to being around strangers when eating, and sent the host away. Then Lin Yi took out the set of poison test needles Xiao Lianqin gave him to test whether the food was poisonous.
.
The result really shocked Lin Yi.
All the food was poisonous. Even the half-flag of wine the man gave him was poisonous.
Lin Yi, who was very hungry, looked at the food that had been laced with poison, and anger arose in his heart.
Lin Yi left the hut and came to Orion's house. At this moment, the laughter of Orion's wife and a pair of children could be heard in the house. It turned out that Orion was telling them a funny thing, which made the pair of children laugh happily.
This is a happy family.
Lin Yi thought to himself that if he killed the couple, the children would become poor orphans from now on. Maybe it would be difficult for them to survive in this dangerous world.
Lin Yi suppressed his anger and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Soon the door was opened, and it was the girl who opened the door.
Lin Yi smiled at her and said, "Call your dad out. I have something to tell him."
The hunter came out.
"What's the matter, brother?" he asked Lin Yi.
"I want to ask you something. Let's go to the hut and talk." Lin Yi remained calm.
Orion and Lin Yi went to the hut.
After entering the house, Lin Yi closed the door.
When Orion saw that Lin Yi had not touched the food, he suddenly seemed to understand something. His heart was beating wildly, but he tried his best to remain calm on the surface.
Lin Yi pointed at the food and said, "I won't mince words. Every one of these food is poisonous."
Orion still wanted to quibble, but he said angrily: "Brother, how is this possible! We are honest people. Besides...and why did you conclude that poison was used in the food before you even touched the chopsticks? You clearly want to blackmail me.
The only fault is that I kindly let you live here. You can leave now!"
Lin Yi stared at Orion with an intimidating gaze.
Lin Yi said: "Of course I have a way to detect poison in the food. So you should stop acting. I originally wanted to kill you and your wife, but for the sake of your children, I will give you a chance. Tell me,
Who are you? Why did you poison me? Then I'll leave as if nothing happened."
Orion also looked at Lin Yi, and his hand touched the hunting knife at his waist.
Lin Yi sneered with disdain and said: "I advise you not to take action. Everyone who took action against me is dead. At the martial arts competition, I killed Lin Tianshu within a hundred moves, and you didn't even have a chance to make a move in front of me.
None."
Orion's hand touching the knife suddenly stopped.
His expression also changed with surprise.
Only then did he realize that the person he was facing was actually the famous Nan Wang Lin Yi.
Orion's feet also began to tremble. In front of Lin Yi, his will completely collapsed. He suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Yi. He wailed: "Young man is blind, I... I really didn't know you were the King of the South. Look,
For the sake of my two young children, I beg the King of the South to spare my life."
Lin Yi said: "As long as you tell the truth, I will pretend that nothing happened."
Orion said: "I am from Tianji Palace. I received two portraits a few days ago. I was ordered to find a way to kill these two people whenever I see them. The person in one of the portraits is King Nan. If I know the portrait
The person on top is you, King Nan, and I...don't dare even if you lend me ten courages..."
Lin Yi's eyes narrowed.
As expected, he is from Tianji Palace.
Lin Yi now really wanted to find Tianjizi and question him face to face as to why he had to be killed. Was it just because he participated in the murder of the Blue Eyed Fox King? Was Tianjizi avenging his junior brother? But Lin Yi thought that things were not that simple.
Lin Yi asked Orion to get up, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "You send a message to the people above you, and then ask the people above you to send a message to the people above you... tell Tianjizi. If he stops now, I will forget the blame. If he still
If he insists on having his own way, his life will end!"
Orion nodded hurriedly.
Then Lin Yi came out of the house and rode away.
Orion was left standing there like a fool.
Lin Yi walked a few miles and encountered a wild dog. He simply killed the wild dog, cut off a few pieces of meat, and roasted it to eat. The moon was bright tonight, and the earth was filled with silver moonlight. Lin Yi stopped looking for a place to stay.
He traveled all night under the stars and the moon.
After more than two days of travel, Lin Yi arrived at a small town near Fengxiang.
Lin Yi and Qin Guangmin arranged to meet in an abandoned village a few miles west of the town.
Lin Yi entered the village and entered a broken house according to the secret message left by Qin Guangmin.
Qin Guangmin was sitting in the middle of the room roasting a hare. A corner of the room was covered with some tattered felt quilts. There was an uncovered hand stretched out. It turned out that there were two corpses covered underneath.
Qin Guangmin arrived one day earlier than Lin Yi.
Qin Guangmin had kidnapped two people from Beifu and came here for questioning. They knew nothing about Qin Duoduo. In the end, they were killed by Qin Guangmin. The corpses under the torn blanket belonged to those two people.
Qin Guangmin raised his head and glanced at Lin Yi, then turned his attention to the roasted rabbit with splashes of oil.
Lin Yi sat down opposite Qin Guangmin.
He took out two bottles of wine and handed one to Qin Guangmin.
Qin Guangmin unscrewed the lid and took a few sips, then said: "I... caught the two of them and asked them, but they... didn't know a lot of things."
Lin Yi said: "We cannot act rashly. We must first confirm that Duoduo is really imprisoned by Qin Dingfang. Then we can make plans."
Qin Guangmin said: "How...how to be sure?"
Lin Yi said: "I will find a way."
Qin Guangmin said nothing again.
He tore half of the roasted rabbit into pieces and gave it to Lin Yi, and then the two of them ate the rabbit meat in silence.
At this moment, Lin Yi heard the sound of horse hooves.
