76, intrigue
Yan Zhong turned around and left, and never looked back. Although his family business was already in a downturn, he often dated young men. He knew that he wanted to win the trust of a young man like Yan Xing. Looking forward and looking back would only increase the suspicion in the other party’s heart in vain. The straightforward and refreshing style of “promise, committing life and death” and “a promise of a thousand gold, life and death will last forever” are the best way to gain the other party’s trust.
Seeing Yan Zhong's figure disappearing from a distance, Yan Xing stood with his hands behind his back, but the uneasiness in his heart did not ease at all. The spirit in his eyes kept flashing, and his face was thoughtful, as if he was waiting for something.
After a while, there was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the corner of the wall outside, and then a slight sound of footsteps came. Yan Xing's heart moved and looked up. Unexpectedly, one of the two parts of Yunwu came with him. The part was in a hurry. Although he could already suppress his steps, Yan Xing still saw the other person's impatient expression at a glance. He couldn't wait to speak first and asked impatiently:
"How about it?"
"Yan Zhong was indeed as you expected. He didn't come alone. He brought five or six people to hide in the forest outside the temple. Now the two followed Yan Zhong to the fort, and the remaining two were monitoring the temple gate in the forest outside."
As expected, Yan Zhong is a fence-in-law. Since he would have sold Yan Li in exchange for his own property, the situation is reversed, and he doesn't mind selling his own side to Yan Li's people.
Yan Xing followed Yan Xing to live and die, and went to the coalition forces. The Dongying camp had already been tempered. He was no longer the simple "life and death, and he was more willing to do it" in Yan Zhong's eyes. He admired the chivalrous and righteousness. Although he had just decided to give it a try, his words were both true and false, and he wanted to try Yan Zhong's expression.
At present, one side and Yan Li side have changed the form. Although he has always been aware of the casualties of the Yan family, as long as someone with discerning eyes notices his own loss of composure just now and carefully consider it, it is not difficult to find out which one is stronger and who is weaker.
Yan Xing could have thought of this. He believed that Yan Zhong, who could be lurking beside Yan Li, would not have thought of it. So when Yan Zhong looked at it, he showed a kind and harmless smile on his face, Yan Xing had already felt that Yan Zhong had decided to change his mind and betray his side.
Both sides did not know the strength of the person opposite each other hidden in secret, so they did not take action even though they were afraid of the mouse. Yan Zhong gave Yan Xing a half-true promise. He was indeed planning to bring people to Yan Xing's appointment, but the people who came were not going to help Yan Xing sneak into the fort, but to capture all the fish that were still wandering outside.
Yan Xing also directly gave Yan Zhong an agreement to stabilize the other party first so that he could get out of the other party's plan in time. Now he learned from his subordinates that Yan Zhong had indeed violated his previous agreement with him alone, and had brought people to him, and sent someone to keep him to monitor him. Yan Xing was even more sure that the other party had a ghost in his heart, and had even sold him to Yan Li and others in advance.
Now he gave the other party a half-true and half-false agreement, stabilized and defrauded the other party, but Yan Xing believed that the other party would never wait until the agreed time before taking action. Soon Yan Zhong would bring a large group of people to come back and capture him and others.
So without further ado, Yan Xing immediately ordered his subordinates:
"We cannot do anything. We can get out of here as soon as possible and return to Lintao. Don't go out from the front and just climb over the wall from the back!"
Yan Xing's other subordinate had already prepared horses in the forest behind the temple. The situation was urgent. Although the things Yan Xing had told him could not be done under the current circumstances and could not be achieved, Yan Xing knew that escaping was important. As long as he escaped from the dangerous place first and escaped from the other party's sphere of influence, the enemy was open and we were secret, and everything could be re-planned.
So, the two of them quickly climbed over the wall from the back of the temple, met with another subordinate in the forest outside, turned their horses and rode their horses wildly, preparing to return to Lintao along the way they came, and made a long-term plan.
Not long after Yan Xing and others left, Yan Zhong indeed brought Yan Feng and other large teams back. After they learned from the two subordinates who were monitoring the temple gate in the forest that there was no movement, they immediately took action and rushed to the temple viciously, but found that there were already people inside.
Yan Zhong, who was working hard, suddenly blushed. He looked embarrassed and looked at the empty ancestral hall and did not dare to speak. He did not expect that Yan Xing, who was regarded as an ignorant child, became so powerful that he actually made him see through his deception and even deceived his people.
Yan Feng, who had already become one of the heads of the Yan family, seemed much calmer. He looked at Yan Zhong, who was uneasy, and without saying a word, he led people to search everywhere. When he saw the footprints left by Yan Xing and others behind the temple, he squatted down and carefully looked at the weeds after being trampled. After a moment, he suddenly stood up and sneered:
"I have no deception, no self-indulgence. As expected, there are only a few people. They came from Longxi and can't escape now, and they can't escape!"
Yan Feng seemed full of confidence. Indeed, compared to the others under Yan Li, he had the most scheming and the most powerful methods. The reason why Yan Li was able to revive was that he had to run back and forth and contributed a lot. Therefore, after Yan Li obtained the position of patriarch, the first reward was Yan Feng. Despite the opposition of others, he promoted him from the clan to one of the leaders of the clan.
Yan Feng was indeed scheming and had both methods. He not only used many promises for Yan Li's side to successfully convince the head of the Tian family, but also borrowed troops to intervene in the dispute among the Yan family. In the panic of the tribe, he succeeded in one blow, held the head hostage, and supported Yan Li as the leader.
After accomplishing his career, Yan Feng was quite visionary than Yan Li's other subordinates who had celebrated each other, and immediately helped Yan Li judge that the principle of "only strong is to rely on" is still necessary and to continue to rely on the Han family in Jincheng. As long as he gets the head of the Han family, Yan Li's position as the leader of the Han family will be stable.
He also suggested that Yan Li, who was eager to take revenge, should not rashly harm Yan's father and Yan Wan and others who were already ill in bed. He said bluntly that the life and death of these people was just a matter of one word in a moment, so why should the words in other people's mouths be added to the snatch of others just to expel the anger in this sensitive period? At the same time, he proposed that he was already prepared for Yan Xing and others to escape from defeat. The scene where Yan Xing was dominating the battlefield and invincible was still in Yan Feng's mind. He knew that Yan Xing, the seriously ill father and daughter-in-law, were not scary. The brave man who broke through the siege from the sea of corpses and blood, had suddenly heard a drastic change among the clan, and vowed to take revenge and revenge was the most terrible opponent.
Therefore, Yan Feng has not relaxed his attention to some movements in Yunwu City. When Yan Xing learned some rumors about changes in the Yan family from some tenants in the Yan family, Yan Feng also learned from others that someone was secretly inquiring about information inside the Yan family and collecting information inside the Yan family fort.
When he learned that those people seemed to be coming from Longxi County in the southeast, and with the collection of other clues and the final report from Yan Zhong, Yan Feng had already begun to lock in Yan Xing and others. Although Yan Xing, who was most concerned about, had not yet appeared, as long as he caught Yan Xing beside Yan Xing, Yan Feng would not believe that he could not know whether this confidant Yan Xing was dead or alive.
