Her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, adding a bit of bright color to everything in the carriage.

Outside the car is the howling cold wind, but inside is such a warm and cozy scene. The two are separated by the heavy compartment, and they become two completely different worlds.

In the last carriage, a swordsman in white clothes was sitting cross-legged in meditation, with a simple three-foot green sword placed across his knees. It trembled slightly with his every breath and breath, and from time to time he made a soft cry like a dragon's roar.

Under the protection of dozens of cavalry, the carriage headed south, quickly leaving the majestic city behind.

…………

…………

………………

The sky was getting dark, and the Jingnan Guard Camp was quiet.

Lin Lianfang kept circling in the military tent.

He didn't want to look at the secret letter on the table. The handwriting on it was like a curse. Reading it more would make people feel upset and depressed.

Lin Lianfang was also aware of the recent events in the capital, but he had no intention of participating in them.

As the commander of the Jingnan Guard Camp, loyalty and purity are the qualities he should have.

As for the object of loyalty, it is naturally the Emperor of Zhou who is sitting on the dragon throne.

Apart from this, only his benefactor is left, Prince Cheng who lifted him out of the mire and gave him a new life.

However, the appearance of this secret letter was like a big stone thrown into the lake, stirring up waves in his originally peaceful state of mind.

There was even some inexplicable fear and uneasiness.

If he wasn't worried that there would be spies planted by the other party around him, Lin Lianfang would have wanted to curse, why he had to be put on the fire to fry and grill.

In addition, the current situation in Ouchi is unclear, and Prince Cheng has not said a word, which has made him extremely restless.

"Are there any changes in the city now?" As soon as Lin Lianfang opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse and dry, almost to the point of being speechless.

The soldiers accompanying the tent respectfully replied, "Commander Qi, everything is calm in the capital and nothing unusual has happened."

"Is this another day for me to get through?"

Lin Lianfang secretly exhaled a breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Don't take it lightly. Everyone should keep their clothes on and keep their knives close to their bodies. They should rest on the spot. There will be sentries everywhere to keep their eyes open to prevent sneak attacks by thieves."

"Subordinates must obey the orders of the commander!"

The soldiers were ordered to leave. In the empty tent, Lin Lianfang held his eyebrows and slowly sat down, feeling a wave of exhaustion that was so intense that it could not be resolved.

"Now I'm afraid that if I don't get a direct response to my solicitation, Prince Yan will directly take my life."

"However, now that the palace is so airtight that not even a single rumor can be conveyed, who knows what is happening to the person on the throne.

If the current Holy One just pretends to be seriously ill and waits for someone to jump out and catch them all with a thunderous strike, I, the commander of the Jingnan Guard Camp, will be crushed into powder immediately."

"There is also my benefactor, Prince Cheng. I still don't know what he thinks.

If this secret letter was sent by Prince Cheng himself, then even if I risk my life, I would not hesitate to lead troops directly into the capital, instead of being like a hot potato like now."

"Taking a step back, even if I don't have to consider Prince Cheng's relationship, if I really listen to the secret letter and lead the troops into the city as agreed, I'm afraid I will inevitably be hidden by the birds after Prince Yan's deeds are completed.

, the rabbit dies and the dog cooks.

After all, I am not a true confidant of this person. How can I dare to hope for the so-called Conglong Gong? The possibility of being used as a bloody knife to destroy the corpse and wipe out traces is the greatest. When that time really comes, the sky will not respond, and the earth will not respond.

spirit."

What made Lin Lianfang even more uneasy was that, according to the information he had gathered, Prince Yan had more than one martial arts master under his command.

If the other party really wanted to take his life regardless of the situation, it would be difficult to stop the attack and killing of the Grandmaster warriors with the troops and horses of the Jingnan Guard Camp, even if they were prepared in advance.

Lin Lianfang stopped and picked up the tea cup that had been cooled on the table, trying to moisten his thirsty and astringent throat.

As soon as he brought the tea to his mouth, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Who!?"

Lin Lianfang suddenly drew the sword from his waist and assumed an offensive and defensive posture.

"I heard that Commander Lin is very talented. Although he has made slow progress in martial arts practice, he is good at forming formations and training troops. He has already secured his position as the commander of the Jingnan Guard Camp before reaching the age of 40, which can be regarded as a proud achievement.

Full and quite powerful.

However, if we can go one step further, the position of Minister of War should be just around the corner, it depends on how the commander-in-chief chooses."

Suddenly, a female voice as clear as spring water sounded faintly in the tent.

Lin Lianfang narrowed his eyes and quickly looked around.

But he was surprised to find that he could not find any trace of the other party no matter what.

The woman chuckled, and the conversation suddenly changed, full of cold and chilling flavor.

"It's a pity that Commander Lin is a little ignorant of current affairs and turned a blind eye to the prince's good intention of releasing him.

If the prince hadn't hoped that your hard work would be of some use in training and leading troops, Commander Lin would have turned into a cold corpse."

The veins on Lin Lianfang's hand holding the knife were clearly visible, and his breathing was a bit heavy.

Quietly, a graceful and graceful figure appeared in the tent.

Under the illumination of the fire and candlelight, her eyes were like deep pools, exuding a dreamy and hazy light, shining directly into Lin Lianfang's eyes.

"You..." Lin Lianfang's eyes were blurry, and he involuntarily let go of his right hand. The long knife slipped and fell to the ground, making a crisp clang sound.

The woman sighed leisurely and walked forward slowly, "Those who know the current situation are heroes, and those who adapt to the situation are heroes. Now there is only one way to go before Commander Lin, and that is to truly submit to Prince Yan's command and obey Prince Yan's orders.

This can be regarded as making the right choice at the right time. It will not be a problem to be promoted to a higher position in the future, and it can also avoid the terrible ending of my tragic death and the destruction of my family."

The voice of the woman who appeared in the military tent was gentle and soft, but also had an unmistakable hint of coldness.

"Subordinates please obey..."

Lin Lianfang was mid-sentence when he suddenly came to his senses and said with difficulty: "Your Excellency, when you say such words, it doesn't sound like you are really trying to recruit me."

The woman looked calm and said slowly: "Commander Lin's hesitation before has already made the prince unhappy. Now I just give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. If you don't know what to do, you will definitely regret it."

At this point, she suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, the decision is up to you, whether Commander Lin wants to choose. Whether you submit or reject, I will not have any interference."

Lin Lianfang felt cold all over and was sweating profusely from behind.

He wanted to call out to the soldiers standing guard outside, but no sound came out of his throat. Wrapped in this cold aura, his whole person seemed to have turned into a speechless sculpture.

At this moment, the breeze blew by, and the candlelight on the table suddenly flickered.

The woman frowned slightly, her eyes shimmering with surprise and confusion.

"It seems that I came at the right time."

Suddenly, a gentle man's voice sounded quietly in the military tent.

The woman's expression changed slightly, and she suddenly turned around and looked to one side.

It was empty there, no one was seen.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately activated her energy and blood, her true strength surged, and her hands hidden in her sleeves formed a hand seal like lightning.

"Who is it that allowed him to sneak up next to me? I didn't even notice it!"

Just as a thought arose, her complexion suddenly changed again, and there was no trace of color in her face in an instant.

Click!

A big hand appeared in front of her without warning, penetrated Zhenjin's defense without any hindrance, and grabbed her neck directly.

My scalp suddenly became numb, and my heart felt like gunpowder exploding.

Suffocating fear instantly occupied all consciousness.

She had no time to think, and no time to think.

In the blink of an eye, the body reacted instinctively.

The qi and blood in the body burst out with all its strength, and the strength of the whole body gathered in one place, driving the two arms upward like lightning.

At the same time, each of the five fingers of both hands squeezed the air, closed it a little, and like two extremely sharp beaks, stabbed fiercely towards the grasping hand.

Seeing the pecks coming from the left and right, the eyes hidden under the hood were slightly startled, as if they were momentarily absent-minded.

Judging from the reaction speed and moves, this peck is enough to make people sigh.

He couldn't help but think of the incense owner of the Red Lantern Club.

And just a few days ago on that snowy night, she had just appeared in a mysterious delusion, her body stiff, her expression distorted, and full of cold murderous intent.

But he also lost the most cherished and precious spiritual meaning like the woman in front of him.

It is a whim and an idea that only living people can have.

Under the pressure of a life and death crisis, the woman took action very quickly and was already close in an instant.

At the same time, the fingertips became red and even gave off a burning smell.

"He's distracted!"

She stared hard at the eyes hidden under the hood, and her already somewhat desperate mood suddenly burst out with strong vitality and vitality at this moment.

"As long as I can stab his wrist, I can fend off his grasp. No matter whether I take the opportunity to attack or run away immediately, I will have room to move around!"

"As long as I can go back to the teacher..."

Two pecks landed at the same time, and this thought came to the woman's mind.

Click!

The hands shaped like sharp beaks came down and pecked the target accurately.

The woman felt joyful in her heart, but was confused by the sudden severe pain.
