Everyone sat down and the servants served tea to everyone.
The generals were drinking tea and chatting with each other.
When a disaster comes, we can still be united temporarily. After a disaster, we seem to be harmonious, but in our hearts we have different plans.
At this moment, there are four forces in the hall. Shangguan Minghong's party, Feng Liancheng's party, Lu Ba's party representing Prime Minister Lu, and Lin Yi's party.
Four forces are surging in this hall like undercurrents that are imperceptible.
Of course, with the current situation, even if Lin Yi and Hu Yanyuer wanted to kill Feng Liancheng immediately, they had no chance to do so.
Feng Liancheng said some high-sounding words to everyone. He also praised everyone for their united efforts to resist the enemy.
Feng Liancheng added: "In the future, when the army moves out of the border, it will form a confrontation with the Western Region Army. At that time, I will go back to the capital in person to meet the emperor and explain the situation to the emperor for his decision."
Then Feng Liancheng made some arrangements.
Here, Feng Liancheng is the "emperor", and he has the final say in everything.
Then Feng Liancheng said kindly to Lu Ba: "General Lu, now that the enemy has been defeated and all their food and supplies have been lost, they will definitely return to the Western Regions and go on the defensive, and they will not dare to do it again. As far as I know, in order to gather the troops this time, the company
The servants of the Baiguan Guards were also organized into an army. People also gave this army a famous name, the Baiguan Army. It was an honor for General Lu to lead the "Hundred Officials Army". The next day, General Shangguan and I led the army to set out.
General Lu, you should also lead the 'Hundred Officials Army' back in triumph. This time, I have written down the merits of General Lu and the 'Hundred Officials Army' for you. I will also report it to the Emperor truthfully and ask the Emperor to reward you for your merits."
As long as they are not fools, everyone present will hear what Feng Liancheng is saying.
Just let Lu Ba take the people out when the time comes.
If you are lying on a couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?
How could Feng Liancheng keep the enemy's forces in the army?
Of course Lu Ba knew Feng Liancheng's intentions. But what Feng Liancheng said was reasonable and well-founded, so it was hard for him to say anything.
Lu Ba suppressed his unhappiness and said: "It's all up to General Feng's arrangement."
Feng Liancheng nodded with satisfaction and stood up. Everyone in the hall also stood up.
Feng Liancheng said to everyone: "I have said what needs to be said. The army will set off early the next morning. Tomorrow night, I will hold a banquet and drink the celebratory wine and the Zhuangxing wine together. Now, please go back and rest."
The generals came out of the hall one after another.
Lin Yi walked at the back. Feng Liancheng stared at Lin Yi's back, hatred flashing in his eyes, but the hatred was fleeting. His face also twitched twice.
All the generals left, and Feng Liancheng asked several of his close associates to leave as well, leaving only Zhao Li behind.
Zhao Li said in a reluctant tone: "General, are you just going to let them go?"
Feng Liancheng said: "I wanted to kill people with a borrowed sword, but I didn't expect that Lin Yi and Shangguan Minghong actually defended Fengxiang City. Now they have become great heroes and are praised by thousands of people. Unless they commit a serious crime and I catch them, otherwise
Under the current situation, it’s difficult for me to touch them.”
Zhao Li said: "How about sending someone to assassinate you?"
Feng Liancheng said: "Assassination? Even Linghu Zanghun was killed by Lin Yi. Who can stab Lin Yi to death? As for Shangguan Minghong, his protégé Jiang Feng came with his army. He has confidence and will be even more careful.
.I'm worried that if I assassinate him now, it will be self-defeating, and the armies on both sides will have to fight. So now these two people are temporarily unable to move. Let's look for another opportunity."
Zhao Li said: "General, I am afraid that people do not harm tigers, but tigers are harmful to people's hearts."
A sneer appeared on Feng Liancheng's face, and he said: "Hmph! Tigers are not only harmful to people's hearts. These two 'tigers' are not 'stupid tigers'. I asked the two of them to stick to Feng Xiang's trick of killing with a knife, and they knew it in their hearts.
.It’s just that they know it’s a trick, but they can’t do anything about it. Now that they are reborn after the disaster, can they not hate it? Now these two tigers are eager to eat my flesh and blood. So we have to be more careful. They don’t dare to shoot me openly, it’s God’s fault.
They cannot afford a serious crime. They have to guard against hidden arrows. Now that Lin Yi is in the city, he is too strong in martial arts, so focus on guarding against him. At night, another 800 swordsmen and axe-hands are sent into the general's mansion. Two sentries are also posted on the roof of each house.
, let them keep their eyes on the sky. Then send people to closely monitor their location. Also, if the defense is watertight, I would like to see how they shoot hidden arrows!"
Zhao Li said: "Yes!"
After Zhao Li withdrew, Feng Liancheng's expression began to change obviously. Sometimes it became painful, and sometimes it was filled with hatred.
Feng Liancheng muttered to himself: Lin Yi, you bastard! Do you really think everything is perfect? If you kill my son, I will definitely let you die! You must...
Back then, Lin Yi broke into the general's mansion at night to save Hu Yanyu'er and the little boy, and even killed one of Feng Liancheng's sons.
Afterwards, Feng Liancheng ordered people to investigate.
Two months ago, Feng Liancheng made a judgment based on the clues collected and traced by all parties. The person who broke into the general's mansion and killed his son that night was most likely Lin Yi. It was not someone from Beifu who did it.
As for Lin Yi's motive for breaking into the house, Feng Liancheng speculated that it was very possible that his private imprisonment of Hu Yanyu'er was leaked.
Lin Yi broke into the house at night and set fire to kill people to save Hu Yanyu'er.
Therefore, the burnt female corpse in Hu Yanyu'er's house may not really be Hu Yanyu'er.
Feng Liancheng hated Lin Yi, and he also understood that Lin Yi also hated him to the core.
Lin Yi was waiting for an opportunity to kill him, and he was also looking for an opportunity to kill Lin Yi.
…
Lin Yi and others were arranged in a place in the city. In a large house three miles southwest of the general's mansion. Feng Liancheng's troops were also deployed around the house. There were many sentries around the house. The excuse was to prevent assassins and protect the generals in the house.
It is actually to guard against Shangguan Minghong and Lin Yi.
After arriving at the place and settling down, Shangguan Minghong ordered people to invite Lin Yi to his house.
Shangguan Minghong was also extremely cautious.
He asked Tian Ying to personally guard the outside, and also ordered the two of them to lie on the roof to let out the wind.
Shangguan Minghong said to Lin Yi: "Have you seen it? Feng Liancheng is as defensive as a city now and will not give us a chance at all. So, let's stop the killing of Feng this time. Otherwise, it will be self-defeating and give Feng Liancheng an excuse to kill us."
Kill."
Lin Yi really saw that Feng Liancheng's defense was really flawless.
But Lin Yi was not willing to give up. He said: "Since Feng Liancheng is so defensive, we will hardly have a chance in the future. Moreover, he will try every means to find opportunities to kill us. That will make us even more tempted. And we will be on guard all the time. Therefore, we must get rid of him."
phoenix!"
Shangguan Minghong said: "Then what can you do?"
If Lin Yi really had a way to kill Feng Liancheng without letting him be implicated, Shangguan Minghong would be happy with it.
Lin Yi said: "Let me think of another way."
Lin Yi returned to his room, he opened the jar of wine, and while drinking, he thought hard about how to kill Feng Liancheng, who was on the defensive.
And Feng Liancheng is different from others, he is also a powerful master.
This is even more difficult.
Just then, someone asked to see him.
Lin Yi let the other person in, and it turned out to be Lu Ba.
Lu Ba came in and closed the door.
Now even the fierce Lu Ba is extremely cautious.
He lowered his voice and said to Lin Yi: "Brother Lin, give up this time."
