Lord of the House

When the Dongyang had just rushed out of the boat formation that was intercepted by the water village, it was already dawn, and the four fields radiated a faint blue light, making the lakes, mountains and forests that had been hidden all night reveal a dark shape like paper-cuts. At this time, the direction of Shanglinli suddenly burned. There was a fire, and the flames burned the early morning sky in the southwest corner red.

Lin Fu, Lin Tingli, Lin Zonghai, Lin Mengde and others were all shocked. Shanglinli was the place where the Lin tribe took root. . Besides, when they escorted Qin Chengbo to Luoyang Lake last night, there were more than 300 people from Xiangyong and more than 100 swordsmen and archers from Shiliang County in Shanglin. How could it be so easy for others to succeed? But looking at the timing of the fire in the forest, it was clear that another group of people was waiting for the forces of the water village on Luoyang Lake to succeed, and then cooperated in launching a surprise attack in Shanglin.

Shen Rong stabbed Zhong in the chest with an arrow and fell into a coma. He exhaled more and less, and it was inconvenient to rescue on board. He had to put him in the cabin first for people to take care of him; Liang Zuoren was also seriously injured and had no energy to participate in the discussion. Only then did Lin Fu pick up Lin Zonghai's boat. After all, Lin Tingli was on the boat. In this case, Shanglinli villagers would tend to obey Lin Tingli's command, and it would be meaningless for Lin Fu to obstruct Lin Zonghai's boat.

Lin Tingli was sentenced by Dongyang Mansion from the fifth grade, and Shen Rong was unconscious, so he would naturally preside over all matters in Dongyang Mansion. .

In addition, Liu Weizhong, a squire in Dongyang, served as the fifth-rank soldier of the military before returning to his hometown for retirement. He is a very prestigious celebrity in Dongyang. After picking up Liu Weizhong on the boat and asking Han Wen Nuan a few times, he realized that he was actually Liu Xilin's uncle. The Liu family is not a big family in Dongyang. Liu Weizhong has been in the officialdom all his life and has been serving as an official in the military. He is not a descendant. He can’t study in Liu Xilin’s generation. The army became a military officer. Liu Weizhong has served in the Ministry of the Army for many years and has some connections with the military. He once served under the account of Qin Chengbo, so when the candidate for the post of Dongchengwei was selected, Qin Chengbo spoke for Liu Xilin.

Liang Zuoren was unable to participate in the discussion, and Lu Dongyang was the eighth-rank teacher of Shiliang County. Naturally, the large and small affairs of Shiliang County were handled by him temporarily on behalf of Liang Zuoren.

In addition to Dongyang officials and gentlemen, Lin Fu finally rescued many Qin family members, including the second son, youngest son, eldest grandson, eldest granddaughter, and Qin Chengbo's wives, concubines, daughters-in-law, maids and daughters who accompanied Qin Chengbo to Jiangning. There are nearly 100 maids, staff of Qin's house, entourage and family members. But if Qin Chengbo left Jiangning and headed north, it was a mighty team of more than a thousand people. Nearly 100 people were killed or captured by the Qin family's immediate family members and wives and concubines below Qin Chengbo. The nearly 500 retinue warriors that the Qin family had raised privately over the years were almost killed and wounded. The enemy, although the Qin family still has some strength in Zhongli County, but their vitality is seriously damaged, especially if Qin Chengbo died, it will be difficult for the Qin family to regain its former glory.

Lin Fu invited Lin Tingli, Liu Weizhong, Lu Dongyang, Lin Zonghai and others to discuss matters on the top deck of the aft cabin. Lin Mengde had no fame or official position, so he was not qualified to participate in the deliberation. The fiasco of Luoyang Lake is a foregone conclusion, and Shanglin must be attacked by the enemy. The direction of Shiliang County is still calm, and the case of Fuguo General Qin Chengbo being robbed and killed in Luoyang Lake will shake in a short time. In the government and the opposition, Hongzepu Zhushuizhai will recruit troops and horses non-stop, and Lin Fu can't decide what to do next. At this time, we must respect the opinions of Lin Tingli, Liu Weizhong, and Lu Dongyang.

The situation in Shanglin is unknown. Both Liu Weizhong and Lu Dongyang suggested to stop the boat and go to Shiliang County. There are still more than 700 infantry soldiers stationed in Shiliang County in Dongyang Mansion. , they all hope to hold Shiliang County waiting for help.

Lin Fu naturally wanted to hurry back to Shanglin, while Yingxiu, Zhao Hu, Sun Jingtang and others stayed in Shanglin. He was very worried about their safety at this time, and he said, "It's still dark, we fought all night, They are all very tired. They have to eat something on the boat and take a little rest. Otherwise, if there is no horse, they will walk back to the county on foot. What if they encounter an ambush on the way? There are more than a hundred people, I am afraid that they will get off the boat and walk in a mess. I think walking on the road is better than killing the bandits in Shanglin, and then taking a boat from Shanglin to return to the county quickly!" The thieves who attacked Shanglinli were bound to have no idea that they would escape from Luoyang Lake so quickly. Lin Fu decided to kill the fast boat back to Shanglinli. He invited Lin Tingli, Liu Weizhong, Lu Dongyang, Lin Zonghai and others to the top deck. to discuss business, but did not stop the boat.

After arriving in Shanglinli, you can rest for an hour or two on the boat. Besides, the main force here is the nearly three hundred villagers in Shanglinli. It is impossible for these villagers to abandon Shanglinli and go to Shiliang County.

Liu Weizhong and Lu Dongyang both looked at Lin Tingli. Lin Tingli was not only the person who could be the leader of the Lin family, but also the person who was currently in charge of Dongyang Mansion. Lin Tingli frowned. According to Duke Yu, he should take stabilizing the situation in Dongyang as the top priority. Going to Shiliang County to take the 700-horse infantry in his hands and immediately dispatching troops to clear the forces of Hongzepu Water Village is the only way to deal with it. It's appropriate, but it's impossible to tell him to abandon Shanglinli without hesitation. The three hundred townships are eagerly looking at this side. How can he pull these three hundred townships to Shiliang County?

"Master Lu and I went ashore directly to Shiliang County, and we will take the Dongyang horse infantry with us," Lin Tingli said, looking at Lin Fu, "If Dongyang officials don't want to go with us, just stay on the boat and stay with the Qin family. Take good care of it, I will leave the three hundred village heroes to you, and I will let Zong Hai go to Shiliang County with me..."

Shen Rong's life is hanging by a thread, and he can save his life in time, and it will be difficult to take care of it in a short period of time, not to mention that Shen Rong has to bear the crime of suffocating the life of the general of the country and breaking Luoyang Lake; as long as Lin Tingli handles it properly at this time, he can make up for the lack of Dongyang prefect in the south. It is a matter of course to preside over the suppression of the forces of Hongzepu Water Village.

At this time, Lin Tingli was not worried that Lin Fu would be able to compete with him for clan rights, so he asked Lin Zonghai to stay with him and take him to Shiliang County, and handed over Xiang Yong boldly to Lin Fu's command. ; At this time, he no longer despised Lin Bie's ability and scheming. The change in Luoyang Lake and the simultaneous attack on Shanglinli were both a big crisis and a big opportunity for the Lin family. Lin Tingli knew how to overcome the crisis and seize the opportunity. At these critical moments, Lin Bing's hands and feet could no longer be bound.

It was also a helpless move to divide the troops. Lin Fu didn't hesitate anymore, and he didn't need to stop the boat. He took the rope ladder and sent Lin Tingli, Lu Dongyang, Lin Zonghai and others to the horse infantry fast oars boat. Thinking that it would be safer to go to Shiliang County, more than a dozen people boarded the fast oar boat, and Shen Rong and Liang Zuoren, who were seriously injured and comatose, were also handed over to them to take away together.

After undoing the cables of the two fast oar boats, the Dongyang traveled a little faster. Lin Bie led the three hundred Xiangyong and more than one hundred people from the Qin family who survived the disaster to the forest to kill. Lin Mengde, Zhao Qingshan, Lin Jiyuan, Chen Shouyan and other village leaders were very anxious, but they did not see any bandits fleeing north along the way, but Lin Fu was relieved, indicating that although Shanglinli was attacked, it was not completely lost.

Shanglinli is a town and there is no fortress, but the Lin family mansion is built stronger than the average fortress. If there is any place in Shanglinli that is not lost to the enemy, it should be the Lin family mansion. The thieves attacked Shanglinli, and it would be of little significance if the Lin family mansion could not be taken down. This should be the reason why the fire started in the direction of Shanglinli for more than an hour, but there were no rogues fleeing north.

When Lin Fu went to Luoyang Lake with Qin Chengbo in the name of **** last night, he was worried that once the Hongzepu water village forces succeeded in Luoyang Lake, they would take advantage of the situation to attack Shanglinli and take this important point south of Hongzepu, so Zhao Hu was asked. Be very careful with Gu Yingxiu. Zhao Hu's mother, daughter-in-law, and two younger sisters all lived directly in the Lin family mansion. Following Gu Yingxiu's side, Zhao Hu took ten Wuwei guards to watch the situation at the west end of the village. Go to the Lin family mansion to meet with Gu Yingxiu. In addition, since Gu Yingxiu took power, he has also recruited 20 or 30 janitors, plus other nurses and servants, and it is no problem to stick to the Lin family mansion for a period of time.

In addition, the Wu Peng Cao boat of the Xihe Society loaded several new teas and went back to Jiangning first, but Sun Jingtang still took many people to stay in Shanglin. If something changed, if Sun Jingtang and the others did not attack, they would drive the boat far away. Avoid, or contact Zhao Hu. Lin Fu felt that Sun Jingtang and other people from the Xihe Society should be fine. After all, the Xiangyong camp is on the south bank of Shanglin Stream, and when the bandits attacked Shanglin, they should first attack the village camp, and then defeat the village camp before allowing them to act recklessly in Shanglin. In addition, the more than 100 Shiliang County knives and archers who left Liang Zuoren in Shanglin yesterday were of little use, and they might even follow suit.

The boat went to Xialin, and when I met the villagers who had escaped from Shanglin, I realized that there were not many people who attacked Shanglin, but the number of people who escaped was not clear. It is said that there were two or three hundred people. , It is said that there are four or five hundred people. The key is that no one thought that this group of people would suddenly attack Shang Linli. He was caught off guard and suffered a big loss from the sneak attack. He captured the camp, and the second son, Lin Xuzong, also killed the opponent with a knife. In Shiliang County, on the north bank, there were more than 100 knives and archers in Lindu County. It collapsed. Only dozens of villagers and some villagers fled to the Lin family mansion in time to stand and wait for help. The passers-by surrounded the Lin family mansion while burning, killing and looting in Shanglin. They did not seem to be in a hurry to storm the Lin family mansion. .

"Zhao Neng!" Lin Fu and Lin Mengde froze when they heard the name, not because they were afraid of him, but they never thought that this slave would become a confidant and bring such a catastrophe to Shanglin~www .wuxiaspot.com~ Lin Fu and Lin Meng looked at each other, and it was not difficult to guess what was wrong.

Last year, Lin Fu designed to transfer the suspicion of Gu Wuchen's assassination to the second son Lin Xuzong, forcing the second son Lin Xuzong to expel the seventy or eighty cavalry he had raised privately from Dongyang Mansion, so as not to implicate the Lin family in the Gu case. Lin Xuzong was afraid that these private soldiers would not be able to control them after they left Dongyang Mansion, so Zhao Neng, who had injured his hip/leg at the time, went with him to control the cavalry. Most of these private soldiers were foreigners who were bought by Lin Xuzong with a lot of money. Most of them were robbed and wanted by the government for those who could not live in their own hometown and were forced to flee from a foreign land. In the end, these private soldiers only filial piety to the silver, and whoever gives the milk is the mother. However, Lin Fu and Lin Mengde did not expect that Zhao Neng, the son of the Lin family, could hold the cavalry in his hands in half a year, and turn around and bite the Lin family fiercely.

Lin Fu can also judge at this time that Zhao Neng should lead this private army as a robber in the northwest mountain area of ​​Hongzepu and should collude with the forces of Hongzepu Water Village, and then cooperate with Hongzepu Water Village to sneak attack on Linli. Zhao Neng was not in a hurry to attack the Lin family mansion, he wanted to wait for the Hongzepu Water Village to win at Luoyang Lake and send troops to attack the Lin family mansion together so that there would be fewer casualties. When Zhao Neng left Shanglinli last year, there were no more than 70 or 80 private soldiers with him. Although it is unclear how many people Zhao Neng brought back, it should be no less than 200 people. Maybe Zhao Neng has already given them to Hongzepu Water Village. The forces have completely drawn in the past.

The best thing right now is that Dongyang didn't delay for a moment along the way. Zhao Neng didn't know that there were three hundred villagers here who had left the Luoyang Lake battlefield, which was less than ten miles away from the waterway in the forest.
