Lin Fan already knew what was going to happen next when Wei Xiaobao left for Yunnan.
So Lin Fan was already prepared for this.
No matter what others think, the Dragon Sect is still developing and growing secretly.
The battle between San Francisco and the Qing Dynasty may not be too far away.
Lin Fan sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
No matter how things in the world change, they will never escape his control.
With strong soldiers and horses at hand, as well as hot weapons and tactics that far exceeded this period, Lin Fan had the confidence to deal with any changes.
On this day, Lin Fan, accompanied by Princess Ajiu, inspected an army unit of the Shenlong Sect.
The Shenlong Cult's armies are located in various places, and most of them are formed by people from all walks of life and then undergo militarized training.
A real fight would be absolutely terrifying.
"See the leader."
There were more than 10,000 people here, and all of them shouted to pay homage, and the sound shook the sky.
Lin Fan nodded and said, "No need to be polite, please continue practicing."
"yes!"
Everyone shouted in unison, and then started practicing again. At this moment, a subordinate came in a hurry. After seeing Lin Fan, he knelt down and said, "Master, there is an urgent message."
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows, took the letter and opened it. After scanning it, his expression changed slightly. "What's wrong?"
Princess Ah Jiu asked with concern.
Lin Fan silently handed the letter to Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu took it, and when he saw the content, his eyes flashed with shock: "Chen Jinnan, he is dead..."
"With Chen Jinnan's martial arts, how could he die suddenly so easily?"
Master Jiu Nan couldn't help but said.
Lin Fan shook his head: "There must be something fishy in it."
I wonder if it is the same as in the original work?
In the letter, it only stated that Chen Jinnan died, but did not explain the specific cause of death.
Two days later, news came from the Yangzhou stronghold.
Brothers from heaven and earth will ask for an audience.
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan took the Ninth Princess and his party and set off directly to the Yangzhou stronghold.
"See the leader."
There were already members of the Shenlong Sect waiting in the stronghold. After seeing Lin Fan, they quickly paid homage to him.
Lin Fan waved his hand: "Where are the brothers of the Tiandihui?"
At this moment, more than ten men walked out.
"Master Lin!"
"I've met Master Lin!"
"Master Lin, please avenge our chief helmsman!"
…
Lin Fan glanced at them and didn't recognize anyone.
Also, since he came to this world, he has never had any dealings with the Heaven and Earth Society.
Even Chen Jinnan was just acquainted with each other at the beginning, and the two of them just exchanged moves.
"Everyone, please speak slowly if you have something to say."
Lin Fan asked: "What happened?"
After hearing Lin Fan's inquiry, all the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society showed sadness on their faces.
"Brother Wu, it's up to you to talk about this matter!"
Someone spoke up.
"All right!"
But when he saw a strong man, he sighed, then raised his hands to Lin Fan and said, "Wu Liuqi from Hongshun Hall of Tiandihui has met Master Lin."
"Brother Wu, you don't have to be polite! You don't have to be polite!"
Lin Fan nodded: "Everyone, please come in first, and we will discuss it in detail."
Everyone nodded, then walked into the hall, and the guests and hosts took their seats.
Lin Fan asked: "Everyone, Mr. Chen was a master of martial arts. There were few people in the world who could defeat him. Why did he die suddenly? What happened in this?"
After Lin Fan asked, everyone sighed, and immediately Wu Liuqi stood up: "It's just a long story, so please listen to me, Master."
"Presumably Leader Lin also knows that the chief rudder of our Heaven and Earth Society is under the command of Prince Yanping."
Lin Fan nodded. This matter was not a secret. Basically everyone with a certain status in the world knew about it.
"A few days ago, a message came from the Yanping County Prince's Palace, summoning the chief helmsman to discuss the important matter of resisting the Qing Dynasty."
"The chief helmsman has no doubt that he is there. He took me and three other brothers from the Tiandihui to the Yanping County Prince's Mansion."
"But I didn't expect..."
At this point, Wu Liuqi clenched his fists, with endless anger flashing in his eyes: "This is not a discussion about returning to Beijing, but a discussion on how to get rid of the chief helmsman!"
Everyone in the Tiandi Club also clenched their fists.
Although they already knew about this, they still couldn't help but feel angry after hearing it again.
Except for Lin Fan, whose eyes were indifferent, the other members of the Shenlong Cult were filled with astonishment.
Wu Liuqi continued: "The prince of Yanping County has two sons, the eldest son Zheng Kezang and the second son Zheng Keshuang. The chief rudder has always supported the eldest son. Therefore, the second son has long been dissatisfied with the chief rudder."
"This time, Prince Zheng Jing of Yanping County died suddenly. The second young master relied on his master Feng Xifan. Unprepared, the first young master Zheng took over the first young master in one fell swoop, inherited the power, and then concealed the matter secretly."
"Second Young Master knows that Director Chen has always supported the Eldest Young Master. If he found out about this, he would not let it go. Therefore, he planned to find Director Chen to go back to avoid future troubles."
"Director Chen led us to the Yanping County Prince's Mansion, and we were besieged. The leader was Feng Xifan."
"In the Jianghu, Feng Xifan is known as a bloodless sword, and his martial arts skills are no less than those of the chief helmsman. In addition, some masters from the Yanping County Prince's Palace are besieging him, and we are simply invincible."
"Chief Rudder Chen knew that something was not going well and was unwilling to fight. He covered our escape. But who knew that Zheng Keshuang took advantage of the Chief Rudder's unpreparedness and stabbed the Chief Rudder."
Speaking of this, Wu Liuqi said with tears in his eyes: "The chief helmsman's skills are not comparable to Zheng Keshuang's. Although he was injured, Zheng Keshuang could only be captured in a matter of seconds."
"However, the chief helmsman has been greatly favored by the Prince of Yanping County and will not kill Zheng Keshuang..."
Taking a deep breath, Wu Liuqi said: "So a group of us kidnapped Zheng Keshuang and escaped. We didn't release Zheng Keshuang until we got on the boat, but..."
"But... Zheng Keshuang's sword has already injured the chief helmsman. The chief helmsman... he can only give an explanation and then pass away..."
…
After Wu Liuqi finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell into silence.
Unexpectedly, the chief rudder of the Tiandihui, who had dedicated his life to fighting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, died not at the hands of the Tatars, but at the hands of his own people.
It's really sad, pitiful, and deplorable...
The Ninth Princess glanced at Lin Fan and sighed inwardly: "In the past at the Turtle Killing Conference, Lin Fan's brother said that Chen Jinnan was in trouble. He never thought..."
"You are here, but you want me to avenge Mr. Chen?"
Wu Liuqi shook his head: "Before he died, Mr. Chen specifically told us not to avenge him. He didn't want to let Prince Yanping off. Although Zheng Keshuang couldn't do anything to him, he couldn't be unjust."
"Director Chen is truly a hero!"
Lin Fan sighed inwardly, he was so pedantic, everyone was dead, what use would a hero have?
"So, are you guys here?"
Lin Fan didn't understand the purpose of these people's visit.
"Before the death of the chief helmsman, he deeply regretted that he would not be able to see the day when he would fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Don't let me wait for the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society to join the Shenlong Sect and contribute to the fight against the Qing Dynasty." Wu Liuqi said.
