Lin stood at the top of the city and looked out. He saw fires shining and smoke everywhere outside the city. The fires in the distance were like fireflies scurrying in the night.
Lin Yi knew that it was General Su who led people to burn down all the houses outside Fengxiang City, leaving no room for the enemy.
At this time, a general came over and said: "Master Lin, there is a young man below the city looking for you. He said his name is Zuo Chaoyang."
Lin Yi said: "That was my brother who let him come up."
After a while, Zuo Chaoyang also climbed onto the tower.
Zuo Chaoyang walked to Lin Yi, and the two brothers stood side by side.
Lin Yi said: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Zuo Chaoyang looked at the fires outside the city and said: "I couldn't sleep. I got up and walked around the city and looked at the people who had taken refuge. Alas, those homeless people are really pitiful. Some people have run out of food.
Now, there are many young children waiting to be fed..."
Lin Yi said: "It is pitiful that the people have no home, but it will be a huge disaster if the enemy forces attack the city again."
Zuo Chaoyang said: "Brother, you have met General Shangguan. What is the situation now? Can Fengxiang City be defended?"
Lin Yi told Zuo Chaoyang the current situation, including Feng Liancheng's evil intentions to take advantage of him and Shangguan Minghong's evil intention to get rid of him.
Zuo Chaoyang's heart became increasingly heavy because of the danger. Feng Liancheng's sinister intentions also made him extremely angry.
Zuo Chaoyang gritted his teeth and whispered: "Feng Liancheng is a beast! We have not touched him for the sake of the overall situation. Now at this critical moment, he actually wants to take the opportunity to harm you and General Shangguan! I really want to go to Yelu City and kill him right now!"
Lin Yi said: "We must not kill him now. We will settle accounts with him in the future!"
Zuo Chaoyang said: "Brother, do we really want to defend Fengxiang City?"
Lin Yi looked at Zuo Chaoyang and said: "Yes! No matter how difficult it is, we must defend Fengxiang City even if it costs our lives. Now we should work together with the soldiers and the people to defend against foreign aggression. Tomorrow you divide our people into ten teams,
Cooperate with the soldiers to patrol the city to prevent the enemy's spies from causing trouble. Also, use the money to buy food from the big households in the city. Let your sister-in-law and Yu'er cook porridge to help the people. As long as we can defend for a month, our army will be able to assemble.
It’s over. When the army arrives, the crisis will be resolved. It’s time for us to be proud and proud!”
Zuo Chaoyang said: "Okay! I will listen to you!"
Now that the enemy is approaching and the country is facing a national crisis, the two brothers no longer care about their personal honors and losses. They have also put aside their grievances and grudges. What they have to do now is to protect Fengxiang City at all costs.
In this way, the two brothers stood at the top of the city chatting until the morning light rose.
It was getting dark, and Lin Yi rode out of the city.
Zuo Chaoyang didn't know where Lin Yi was going, so he followed him out of the city on horseback.
Lin Yi hit his horse and ran towards Beifu.
Along the way, there were burning and collapsed houses everywhere.
The two brothers came to Beifu.
Now, except for the plum grove outside the gate of the mansion, which is still intact, the rest of the place has been basically destroyed. After the war, some of the items that were still usable in the mansion were taken away by the people around it.
The once powerful and arrogant Beifu, now only a fragment of ruins remains for people to mourn.
It has only been more than a month and weeds have begun to grow and spread.
To the eye, it was desolate.
The grand event and glory once seemed like a dream.
This made the two brothers feel really complicated and confused at the moment.
The two brothers dismounted and entered the ruins.
Here, their relatives lived.
Here, their enemies have been entrenched.
Now here is just a huge ruin.
As we walked further into the hinterland, we could see cracked ground and large explosion craters everywhere. It was shocking. It showed how terrifying the situation was at that time. Recalling the last battle that day, the two brothers couldn't help but sigh.
As Zuo Chaoyang walked, he asked, "Where is that beast Qin Dingfang hiding?"
Lin Yi said: "Based on what I know about him, I think Qin Dingfang will come here often."
Zuo Chaoyang asked: "Why?"
Lin Yi said in a meaningful tone: "Because this is the place where he was born and where he grew up. This is where he grew strong and declined."
Zuo Chaoyang seemed to understand the deeper meaning of Lin Yi's words. He said: "This is also the place where you grew up. So brother, you come back to see this place again."
Lin Yi nodded.
In life, there are always some things that are difficult to cut off.
Even if it becomes a wasteland.
It still occupies an irreplaceable position in your life.
The two brothers came to a garden.
The damage to this garden was less than elsewhere. The overall framework was still there. Lin Yi and Zuo Chaoyang entered the garden past a pile of broken trees and walls.
Lin Yi said: "Qin Dingfang loved coming to this garden at the beginning."
The two brothers wandered around the dilapidated garden.
It seems that he is looking for any clues that Qin Dingfang has been here.
Suddenly, Lin Yi found a suspicious place. Together with Zuo Chaoyang, he removed the rubble and broken wood above that place. They saw a cracked stone slab. The crack was more than three fingers wide.
The bottom is empty.
Zuo Chaoyang knocked on the stone slab and said excitedly: "It seems to be a secret passage. It must have been blown open by the explosion that day."
Lin Yi nodded.
Lin Yi slapped the half-foot-long stone slab with two palms in succession.
The stone slabs shattered with an explosion.
A secret passage appeared in the eyes of the two brothers.
There are stone stairs extending down below.
Lin Yi said to Zuo Chaoyang: "I'll go down and you stay outside."
Lin Yi took a huozhe and went down the steps to the deepest point, then turned right and entered another corridor.
The corridor is dark and damp.
There are two stone rooms in the corridor.
Lin Yi first walked to a stone room and found the switch that opened the stone door. Lin Yi turned the switch and the stone door slowly opened.
Lin Yi slowly walked into the stone chamber holding a fire folding piece.
He saw that right in front of the stone chamber was the spiritual altar.
There is a row of spiritual tablets on top.
This gave the gloomy stone chamber a strange and terrifying atmosphere.
Lin Yi walked over and saw the names on the memorial tablet that were printed on his eyes.
At the beginning, the people on these tablets were all powerful figures.
Most of them were also killed by Lin Yi.
Looking at these tablets, their faces seemed to appear before Lin Yi's eyes.
They all looked at Lin Yi angrily.
Lin Yi waved his hand, and their images disappeared.
Lin Yi said coldly: "Everyone will die with their eyes open! But so what. In the end, the Linghu clan never defeated our Qin family!"
Behind these tablets, there is another tablet.
But this tablet is covered with black cloth.
Lin Yi lifted up the black cloth, and the name on the tablet was clearly: Lin Yi!
Lin Yi smiled.
It can be seen how much Qin Dingfang hates himself.
Lin Yi took the fire certificate and carefully explored the stone chamber.
Lin Yi suddenly became suspicious.
He thought to himself that the explosion that day was so powerful that the shelf should be knocked down and the memorial tablets should be scattered on the ground. But everything was placed well...
Thinking of this, Lin Yi whispered three words.
"Qin Dingfang."
At the same time, a strange ghostly sigh sounded in the corridor!
