Chapter 23: Difficult to distinguish between true and false (1)
Lin Yi threw the sword away, and several of Feng Liancheng's cronies immediately stepped forward to capture Lin Yi and control him in their hands. However, Lin Yi used his internal force to knock him out.
Lin Yi said: "Since General Shangguan and General Lu guarantee it, I will just capture them without mercy."
The generals then looked at Shangguan Minghong and Lu Ba.
The two of them stepped forward and each took action, sealing several of Lin Yi's acupuncture points.
Lin Yi could no longer move.
Then, under the supervision of Xiong Zhan and others, Lin Yi was tied up with an arm-thick iron chain and temporarily thrown into a Lucheng stone prison.
Shangguan Minghong ordered troops to enter the city to arouse the suspicion of Feng Liancheng's subordinates. Lu Ba was also a member of Feng Liancheng's mortal enemy, Mr. Lu Xiangye. Therefore, Feng Liancheng's generals were worried that Lin Yi "accidentally" escaped.
After negotiation between the two sides, each side sent fifty people to guard Lin Yi.
Shangguan Minghong sent Tian Ying to guard it personally.
Feng Liancheng's corpse was cleaned, its wounds were sutured, and it was put into the coffin.
He will be transported back to the capital tomorrow for a state funeral.
Shangguan Minghong and Xiong Zhan wrote another note and ordered them to ride eight hundred miles to the capital to report to the emperor.
After arranging all this, Shangguan Minghong said to Xiong Zhan seriously: "General Xiong, you are General Feng's favorite disciple. You have always regarded General Feng as your own father. He was assassinated, and I know you feel sad. I feel bad too. But
You and I are both favored by the emperor and have high hopes from the people of the world. At this juncture, we must unite sincerely. Now that the powerful enemy has just retreated, we must regain the lost ground and completely drive the enemy out of the territory. Therefore, the plan for the deployment of the army tomorrow cannot be changed..."
Even though Feng Liancheng died, before the emperor issued a decree to appoint a new general, as a rule, Shangguan Minghong took over Feng Liancheng's position and took control of the three armies.
But people from Feng Liancheng accounted for the majority.
Shangguan Minghong was worried that the generals would be angry and cause trouble.
So he has to be cautious in everything he does.
Try to control the three armies without causing unnecessary problems.
Xiong Zhan is also a person who knows the importance of things. Although Feng Liancheng's death is a big blow to him, he will not miss important national affairs because of it. Otherwise, he will not be able to escape the involvement in the future.
Xiong Zhan said: "I can obey the general's orders and lead the army with the general to regain the lost territory tomorrow. But there is one thing, the general must rely on me."
Shangguan Minghong said: "You say."
Xiong Zhan said: "Tomorrow when we set out, Lu Ba will escort Lin Yi back to the capital. But Lu Ba is Mr. Lu's man. General Feng and Mr. Lu have been enemies for many years, and you know it well, General Shangguan. General Feng is dead, and they
I don't know how happy I am. I'm worried that Lu Ba will create an opportunity on the road for Lin Yi to escape, so I have to ask Yuan Hui to lead an army and horses to follow. One is to escort the general's coffin, and the other is to jointly escort Lin Yi. No matter where we go,
They will be guarded wherever they are in the city until they are escorted to the capital."
In order for Shangguan Minghong to ask Xiong Zhan to obey his orders, he said without thinking: "Okay! Just do as General Xiong said."
After Xiong Zhan left, only Shangguan Minghong was left in the house.
Finally, Feng Liancheng was killed, and he gradually took control of the military power. Shangguan Minghong was extremely happy.
At this moment, he was alone. Shangguan Minghong no longer concealed his excitement and laughed loudly.
Shangguan Minghong said to himself: "Feng Liancheng, you used Lin Yi to contain Beifu and avoid internal troubles. This move was brilliant. But you provoked Lin Yi again, which is really a bad move. Lin Yi,
If he is angered, there is nothing in the world that he dare not do. Even regicide, he can do it. And I know that people are good at putting down their posture and calling him brothers, so he went out of his way to help me. Not only did he do it for me
I relieved Fengxiang from danger and sent you to the west. It can be said that Lin Yi made me successful. In terms of battle of wits, General Feng, you are no match for me. Haha...
…
Although Feng Liancheng's cronies and generals were unwilling to give in, Lin Yi had the emperor's decree and Shangguan Minghong's guarantee, so they had nothing to do.
Zhao Li was even more unwilling.
As the most trusted person in Feng Liancheng, Feng Liancheng treated Zhao Li very well. Zhao Li relied on the big tree of Feng Liancheng to collect money and do whatever he wanted. To be fair, Zhao Li was absolutely loyal to Feng Liancheng.
So he had to find a way to kill Lin Yi to avenge his master.
Zhao Li cried a lot in front of Feng Liancheng's coffin. When Xiong Zhan came to pay homage in front of the coffin, Zhao Li invited Xiong Zhan into the house. Zhao Li closed the door and knelt down to Xiong Zhan.
It was like this and that. If Feng Liancheng was alive, Xiong Zhan and other generals would still have to please Zhao Li. Now that Feng Liancheng is dead, Zhao Li's status has plummeted.
Zhao Li burst into tears and cried: "General Xiong, General Feng was plotted by Lin Yi at the celebration banquet! He didn't even have time to display his unparalleled martial arts. General Feng died so unjustly... General Feng treated you and me badly."
Bo, without General Feng, it would be difficult for you and me to be prosperous and wealthy today. I also ask General Xiong to kill Lin Yi. Otherwise, Lin Yi will definitely escape. Then General Feng's death will be in vain..."
Xiong Zhan asked Zhao Li to get up and said, "Brother Zhao, what do you think?"
Zhao Li said: "Lin Yi is imprisoned now, it is a good opportunity to kill him. General Xiong can lead his troops into the prison to control Shangguan Minghong's people, and then kill Lin Yi. Brother Xiong, this is the only chance to kill Lin Yi
."
Xiong Zhan thought to himself, wouldn't this be ignoring the holy will?
If you don't do it well, you will ruin your own future.
Xiong Zhan said: "Brother Zhao, Lin Yi has the emperor's handwriting in his hand, and Shangguan Minghong has guaranteed that he will be sent to the capital. And now General Shangguan's troops have also entered the city. There is nothing I can do. Now I can only send Lin Yi to
The emperor has fallen into disgrace in the capital. Don't worry, I have made arrangements. I will send General Yuan to lead a group of elite troops to escort him. Lin Yi cannot escape. Also, Lin Yi cannot escape death in the end. What he committed is not an ordinary crime.
, killed General Feng in public, all officials will be furious, and resentment will boil. No matter how stupid the emperor is, he still has to appease the public opinion and give an explanation to the people of the world. So Lin Yi must die!"
After Xiong Zhan said that, he left first to make arrangements for the army's departure tomorrow.
After Xiong Zhan left, Zhao Li scolded him for being ungrateful to protect his future.
After scolding, Zhao Li said bitterly: "Lin Yi, I will never let you leave Lucheng alive..."
…
At this moment, Lin Yi was tied up and imprisoned in Lucheng Stone Prison. Shangguan Minghong and Xiong Zhan were guarded by hundreds of people. There were also a thousand soldiers stationed around the cell to ensure nothing went wrong.
Lin Yi was sitting in the cell, thinking that his younger brother and Hu Yanyu'er were already on their way to Fengxiang City. When they arrived at Fengxiang, they could meet up with Zeng Tengyun and the others to go to Piaoling Island.
The younger brother and Hu Yanyu'er finally got their revenge and they recognized each other again. They must be very happy at this moment.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi also showed a happy smile on his face.
As for his own death, he can only take it one step at a time.
Before taking action, he had already put life and death at risk.
As long as he can keep Hu Yanyu'er as his younger brother and sister, it doesn't matter if he dies.
The two leaders in charge of the custody were Tian Ying, who represented Shangguan Minghong, and Cao Zhi, who represented General Xiong. From time to time, the two opened the small iron window of the cell door and looked in at Lin Yi.
Every time, Cao Zhi's eyes were full of hatred.
Tian Ying's eyes were full of admiration.
The corridor outside the cell was filled with people from both sides.
The iron door at the entrance to the corridor was knocked at this moment.
Everyone in the corridor was wary of looking at the iron gate.
Tian Ying motioned to the person guarding the door to open it.
Just after the iron door opened, Lin Yi in the cell heard people outside exclaiming.
