Finest Servant

When Li Tailin left yesterday, he handed over 10,000 elite soldiers to Lin Wanrong, and now they are stationed at the foot of the Xiangguo Temple. Li Tai knew that Du Xiuyuan and others were raised by Lin Wanrong alone. They attacked the White Lotus Sect in Shandong and made great achievements, so they deliberately left Du Xiuyuan's department for Lin Wanrong's dispatch. On the day of yesterday, Lord Lin will certainly still ridicule Li Tai for his unnecessary actions. Only at this time can we realize the uniqueness and savageness of General Dahua in his work.

He hurried to the foot of Xiangguo Temple, and before he approached the camp, he heard a voice shout in surprise, "General Lin? Isn't that General Lin? Brothers, General Lin is back, General Lin is back."

Lin Wanrong looked around, but there were a few familiar faces. He vaguely remembered that these people were the talented soldiers that Du Xiuyuan brought from Hangzhou when he was commanding the army in Chuzhou. .

Du Xiuyuan's men were formed by the team that fought against Bailian on the shore of Weishan Lake that day. During the military exercises at the school a few days ago, Master Lin showed his might and defeated Su Mubai in one fell swoop. As soon as they heard that General Lin was back, everyone had already gathered around to say hello. Lin Wanrong smiled and greeted everyone. Xu Zhen hurriedly rushed out of the tent and said loudly, "General Lin, you are here!"

Lin Wanrong nodded and said with a smile: "Xu Zhen, did you receive the letter from my trustee yesterday?"

"I got it, I got it." Xu Zhen nodded again and again, puzzled: "General, where did you find such a child to deliver the letter? You are only four or five years old. If Brother Du didn't recognize your handwriting, we would have long ago. Knock him out."

Child? Lin Wanrong glanced at Xu Zhen suspiciously: "Your eyes are dazzled, you are obviously a beautiful beauty. Where is the child?"

"No!" Xu Zhen shook his head again and again: "Not only me, but many brothers in the camp have seen it. Where is the beauty, it's a four or five-year-old child."

Could it be the illegitimate child of Sister Fairy? A sleazy smile appeared on Master Lin's face. No matter who sent the land, as long as the letter arrives in Du Xiuyuan's hands in time: "Then what I told you to do, have you done it?!"

Xu Zhen glanced around and said in a low voice, "We were not quite sure when we first saw that letter, but Brother Du said that General Lin's work has always been mysterious and unpredictable, and we would rather believe it than not. Just let me take 3,000 brothers to the back mountain to search for the location you indicated in your letter. On the other hand, I deliberately pretended to be careless and left a small gap."

"So. Someone grabbed the gap and slipped out quietly?" Lin Wanrong smiled, with a bit of pride on his face.

Xu Zhen smiled and said: "That's natural, it's not easy to catch people, it's not easy to let them escape? Last night, it was dark. They slipped out of our siege 'unwittingly'. go out,

Brother Du brought some capable brothers and quietly followed them. "

Du Xiuyuan is shrewd and capable. It is reassuring to do things, Lin Wanrong nodded, the emperor was assassinated here, and the salary was robbed there. If you say that these two things are not involved, I don't believe it. As long as they are decorated with those Dongying people and follow the vines, I don't believe that I can't touch the melons.

"General, the ones you let us let go. Who are they?" Xu Zhen asked strangely. He had never met the people of Dongying before, so he naturally didn't know where they were sacred.

"It's a group of bastards who are trying to conspire against me." Lin Wanrong smiled: "Where is Brother Du now? You take me to see."

Xu Zhen readily responded, and pulled out two fast horses from the camp. Lin Wanrong frowned. Could it be that those Dongying people are hiding in the city? These guys really know the art of war.

As soon as he entered the city, Xu Zhen went to the densely populated West City. There were many restaurants and shops on both sides of the street.

"That's it." Xu Zhen suddenly stopped, pointed to a house in front, and said softly.

Looking in the direction of his fingers, there was a row of small courtyards in front of him. Xu Zhen was referring to the one in the middle. The gatehouse was not high, and the Spring Festival couplets were still hanging on the beam. . Lin Wanrong glanced around, but saw the bustling pedestrians around, and could not see any abnormality. If those Dongying people really hid in this yard, then there will definitely be a guard post outside, and I don't know where Du Xiuyuan is hiding?

"General, let's go upstairs for a drink." Xu Zhen smiled and pointed to a restaurant next to him. This restaurant is four or five floors high, facing the small courtyard. The business is booming. A light flashed in Lin Wanrong's mind. Du Xiuyuan chose this place is good.

The two went upstairs, Xu Zhen didn't even ask the bartender to say hello, he went straight to the private room on the top floor, knocked lightly on the door twice, Du Xiuyuan pulled the latch, and said happily, "General Lin, are you here?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Du." Lin Wanrong smiled and the three of them pushed the door open. I saw that the decoration in this private room was very simple, but the window was facing the small courtyard opposite.

"How's it going, Brother Du?" Seeing that the yard was silent and there was not even a figure, Lin Wanrong frowned and asked softly.

"Last night we disguised ourselves, followed them, and saw them enter the yard with our own eyes. The brothers took turns guarding the front and rear doors and never saw them come out. I also inquired about the yard, and it only changed hands a few days ago. Here, the previous owner went back to Shanxi to retire." Du Xiuyuan told the general situation again, he was cautious, and he did not find that the other party was vigilant around him, and even in the elegant seat in this restaurant, Du Xiuyuan was constantly changing people and rooms, never It won't startle snakes.

"Have you seen them in the yard? Has anyone come to them?" Lin Wanrong asked hurriedly.

Du Xiuyuan shook his head: "I haven't seen it. After this group of people entered, it was like they died inside, and there was no movement at all."

"Have you ever seen cooking smoke? Or, have you seen them go to a thatched hut?"

Du Xiuyuan shook his head again and again, and Lin Wanrong couldn't help frowning. This was far from what he imagined. Damn, could it be that this group of Dongying people are made of wood, and they don't need to eat, drink, and slaughter anything, and stay in the house forever?

"General Lin, who are these people? When we followed us last night, we saw that they were well-organized and vigilant. They seemed to have been battle-hardened." Du Xiuyuan asked the doubts in his heart, and Xu Zhen also Staring at General Lin, he had asked this topic before, but General Lin bypassed it and did not answer.

Lin Wanrong sighed slightly: "It's from Dongying!"

"People from Dongying?!" Du Xiuyuan and Xu Zhen were surprised at the same time: "How could they come to our Dahua?"

"I don't know either. Maybe their purpose is noble, to spread culture and communicate with each other. Maybe they came to Dahua to worship." General Lin joked.

"Do the Japanese and I, Dahua, communicate with each other? General Lin is joking. They have such a land as big as sesame and mung beans, and they can't even grow whole grains. What can they use to communicate with me Dahua?" Du Xiuyuan shook his head and snorted: " I have a few close friends in Fuzhou, the navy in Mawei. According to them, pirates and bandits from the East have repeatedly violated my southeastern coastal border, burning, killing and looting. I'm afraid there will be endless suffering."

Brother Du really deserves to be a military scholar, with unique views and far-reaching vision. Dongying is located in an island country, with scarce resources and constant natural disasters. It is a fantasy that they will never extinguish. Lin Wanrong gave Du Xiuyuan a stern look, and said sternly: "Brother Du, listen to me, write a letter to your navy friends, if the Japanese pirates come, they must beat them hard, and don't talk about morality and righteousness. , you should kill and cut, don't let one go, you must show the morale and prestige of my Dahua."

"Okay." Du Xiuyuan clapped his hands and said loudly, "I will repair Qi Xian's younger brother tomorrow. As long as the Japanese pirates attack again, they will definitely attack them head-on, and make me a great country."

Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, Xu Zhen glanced at the small courtyard opposite, and said worriedly: "I heard that the Dongying people are treacherous and greedy, they have been hiding here for so long and haven't come out, could they have dug a tunnel and ran away? "

"It's not very likely." Lin Wanrong was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "Just now, Brother Du has already said that this house has just changed hands. Even if you want to dig a tunnel, it will never be completed in just a few days. This place is in a busy city, with many people, and it is a courtyard house. It is easy to be discovered by digging tunnels. Dongying people only come to the capital for a few days, and it is impossible to prepare everything well.”

"Then what should we do now?" Xu Zhen said anxiously.

Lin Wanrong laughed: "Dongying has a method called ninjutsu. As the name suggests, it must be endured. For them, it's nothing to eat, drink, or sleep for a few days and nights. At this time, it is they who observe the outside world. When moving, once you find something abnormal, pat your butt and leave immediately."

Xu Zhen nodded and said in a low voice, "Ninjutsu? Let's endure it!"

"Let's be patient, we should eat and drink, we should play and play, and we should not fall behind." General Lin said with a smile: "My method is called jutsu, and it is specially designed to restrain ninjutsu."

Xu Zhen laughed, his eyes fell on the opposite door, he was stunned for a moment, and then whispered in surprise: "General, someone is here."
