In the camp outside Shangqiu City, the three commanders of the Imperial Guard who besieged the main gate of Shangqiu gathered together.
One of the tall and powerful commanders said loudly: "Commander Ying, what's the important thing for calling us over?"
Yingyang said with a gloomy face: "Master Hu Hai is missing."
The expressions of the other two people changed drastically after hearing this: "Is this serious?"
Yingyang nodded: "This is still false, Mr. Hu Hai has not appeared in the camp for three days."
Another tall and thin commander frowned and asked: "Did you go to the other three camps?"
Yingyang shook his head: "I thought so at the beginning. I just sent someone to inquire and found that Mr. Hu Hai was not seen in the other three camps."
The tall and lanky commander's pupils shrank when he heard this: "Where did the young master go? Logically speaking, as the commander-in-chief, he is supposed to be in charge of the central army. Could it be that he sneaked out and finished? Where are the guards around him?"
Yingyang said solemnly: "Ordinary guards don't know where Mr. Hu Hai has gone. Several palace guards, together with the disciples of Ganquan Palace, are said to have led troops to surround the Wei Mansion."
The three people looked at each other and said in unison: "Young Master has gone to the Wei Mansion?"
Commander Gao Zhuangzhi said decisively: "Let's go and find them and ask for clarification."
…
In front of the gate of the Wei Mansion, the cold wind in midwinter blew the big trees and made a rustling sound. Lin Ze sat calmly at the small table under the wooden shed. In front of him was a stove with a copper pot on it, with delicious food cooked in it.
of animal meat.
There was a pot of wine and a few small glasses next to the copper pot. The four elders of Fang Xiandao gathered around them and took a drink.
From time to time, Lin Ze quickly picked out a piece of meat from the copper pot, dipped it in some spices, and stuffed it into his mouth with a satisfied look on his face.
This was the third day after Hu Hai was detained in the Wei Mansion. During this period, apart from sleeping and going out, Lin Ze spent the rest of his time sitting here, eating, drinking and practicing.
With the help of Xiao Jin, Lin Ze was already quickly digesting and assimilating the first four levels of cultivation experience given by Wei Yang.
As for the experience after the fourth rank, Lin Ze has not yet touched upon it. After all, the time has not come yet. A thorough study will not only be detrimental to the improvement of martial arts cultivation, but will also mess up the heart of martial arts.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance. Lin Ze looked up and saw three commanders of the Imperial Guard, leading a group of Imperial Guard soldiers, riding in front of Lin Ze.
The leader of the Imperial Guard was Ying Yang, who looked familiar to Lin Ze.
After Yingyang dismounted, he walked into the wooden shed and looked at Lin Ze coldly: "Lin Ze, where has Mr. Hu Hai gone?"
Lin Ze replied without raising his head: "Young Master has some private and important matters to attend to. I apologize that I have nothing to say."
A tall and strong commander behind Yingyang said angrily: "Fart, as generals of the counter-rebellion army, we have the right to know the whereabouts of the general. How dare you not tell us?"
As he spoke, he unleashed the aura of a sixth-grade expert and pressed hard on Lin Ze.
Upon seeing this, the four elders of Fang Xiandao immediately stood up, stepped in front of Lin Ze, and also released four powerful auras, working together to press against the commander.
Although the commander was also at the pinnacle of the sixth level of martial arts, his momentum was immediately suppressed and he was at a disadvantage compared to the four people from Fangxian Dao who joined forces.
When Yingyang and another tall and thin commander saw this, they snorted coldly and also released their own momentum. Together with the momentum of the tall and strong commander, they were evenly matched with the four elders of Fang Xiandao.
The table in front of Lin Ze was shaking due to the collision of the two sides' momentum, and the wooden shed was torn apart and flew out after the collision of momentum.
I saw Qingfeng grinning and saying: "These generals are so majestic. If they dare to bully my young sect master with the big one, are they deceiving that there is no one in our immortal way? My sect master will talk to you later."
Oh, by the way, let me remind you, the last person who bullied my young sect master was none other than Longchuan Marquis Zhao Tuo. In the end, our sect master went to southern Xinjiang in person and made him vomit blood to offset it."
Yingyang and the tall and thin commander looked slightly unnatural when they heard this, and they couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with the tall and strong commander. Did they have no brains and just attack after a disagreement? This Lin Ze is both Hu Hai's confidant and Xu Fu's disciple, so he is not
Can you bully the common people you met in Chang'an at will?
Yingyang coughed slightly: "Everyone, please stop first. The Wei family is not at peace, and the enemy is facing us. If we have civil strife, it will make people laugh. If it leads to failure in the end, Your Majesty will not spare anyone.
.”
After speaking, he took the initiative to withdraw his momentum. Qingfeng looked at Lin Ze and saw that he nodded, so he also withdrawn his momentum.
It wasn't that Lin Ze cared about the overall situation, or was afraid of them, but that Lin Ze didn't want to offend the Imperial Guards too much. After all, the Imperial Guards were also the ones he suggested Hu Hai win over.
Therefore, Lin Ze said calmly: "I already know the intention of the three generals, but it is about the safety of the young master. I really can't tell you the whereabouts of the young master. Please forgive me."
Commander Gao Zhuangzhuang groaned: "If there is anything we can't tell you, we already know it. Young Master Hu Hai is in the Wei Mansion, right?"
Lin Ze was shocked after hearing this. Could it be that they already knew about Hu Hai's arrest?
There were not many people present that day. Apart from Lin Ze, Chen Ping and Fang Xiandao, there were only a few personal guards of Hu Hai. After the incident, Lin Ze gave full account.
Fang Xiandao's four elders are by his side, and Chen Ping is also reliable.
As for Hu Hai's guards, they won't talk about it, because once it is known that the young master they were personally guarding was captured in front of them, these people will die to apologize and bring trouble to the family.
Logically speaking, this matter cannot be leaked.
Lin Ze looked at the inquiring eyes of Ying Yang and others, and felt relieved. It must be a guess, and these people may not even know that Wei Yang went to Chang'an.
Lin Ze pretended to be surprised and said, "You all know?"
Yingyang and the other two looked at each other, and they thought so.
Yingyang took a step forward and scolded: "What a nonsense, Lin Ze. Why didn't you stop Mr. Hu Hai and let him do whatever he wanted? How could you afford it if something happened?"
Commander Gao Qiang also looked crazy: "If something happens to Mr. Hu Hai, everyone will die. He is simply stupid."
The tall and thin commander then said: "How can Mr. Hu Hai take such a big risk with his body of a daughter?"
Lin Ze sighed and said, "Master Hu Hai is doing it all for you."
The three of them looked at each other, why is it just for us?
Lin Ze said in a deep voice: "The three generals should ask themselves, are they the opponents of Wei Yang? His Majesty's decree is to capture Wei Yang alive. Who among you can do it?"
The expressions of the three of them suddenly became extremely unnatural. They all wanted to face each other. Sixth-level vs. eighth-level. If they were to fight alone, they would probably be beaten to death if they met each other. Even if they were strong in the sixth-level magical realm, with the burst of magical power, they would probably be killed.
It only takes a few moments.
Who dares to say that he is Wei Yang's opponent?
Lin Ze continued: "You must be thinking of relying on a hundred thousand troops, forming a formation, and besieging Wei Yang. Let's not say whether Wei Yang will stand still and let us besiege him. Even if he doesn't run, the hundred thousand troops will die.
How much does it take to capture him?"
"Master Hu Hai treats everyone sincerely. In order to avoid heavy casualties in the army, he did not hesitate to go deep into dangerous situations at the expense of his noble status, just to persuade Wei Yang to surrender without mercy. Isn't this move for everyone?"
The three of them were silent. It seemed that this was the case. Mr. Hu Hai really meant something.
Commander Gao Zhuangzhi muttered: "Then why didn't you discuss it with me and others in advance and cause misunderstanding for no reason?"
Lin Ze rolled his eyes at him: "If the young master consults with everyone in advance, do you dare to let him take the risk himself?"
Commander Gao and Zhuang was speechless for a moment. If he really wanted to know in advance, he would not agree even if he was beaten to death.
Yingyang asked in a deep voice: "The matter has reached this point. It's useless to talk more. Is there anything we can do to help? The three of us will definitely do our best to help."
Lin Ze praised: "General Gao Yi really needs the help of three generals. Please keep the secret, block the news, and guard the camp for Master Hu Hai."
Yingyang replied in a deep voice: "It's been too long, and I'm afraid there's nothing we can do."
Lin Ze smiled and replied: "Master Hu Hai said before he left that there will be results within seven days. Today is the third day. Please use these few days to appease the army."
