The city is closed, the city lord’s mansion,
The old prince looked at the deputy commander of the Longwu Army kneeling in front of him, with a flash of excitement in his eyes.
"Now that Commander Lin Luo's life and death are uncertain, I, the king, should take more care of the Longwu Army out of emotion and reason."
"Yu Zhong. As the deputy commander of the Longwu Army, you should stay out of sight."
"By the way, I remember that Commander Lin left a lot of relief food at that time. How much is left now?"
The deputy commander of the Longwu Army named Yu Zhong is now over fifty years old.
He was silent for a moment, and then said:
"Back to the old prince, most of the food brought by Commander Lin has been consumed. There is still a small half of the food stored in the army."
"What did you say!?"
The old prince's expression turned cold, and anger flashed across his eyes.
"Yu Zhong, rescuing the victims of the Luozhou disaster is a task entrusted to Longwu Army by His Majesty. Are you sure that there is only less than half of the food left?"
"If the prince doesn't believe it, you can go to the military camp and investigate."
Yu Zhong bowed slightly, his expression neither humble nor arrogant.
The old prince looked gloomy and stared at Yu Zhong for a long time. Suddenly, he laughed loudly and said:
"Don't worry about Vice Commander Yu. I'm only worried about disaster relief. I naturally believe in Commander Yu's character."
"As the saying goes, a group of dragons cannot be without a leader for a day. Now Commander Lin's life and death are uncertain, but your Majesty's disaster relief mission cannot stop here. I plan to recommend to your Majesty, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yu, to serve as acting commander temporarily. What do you think, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yu?"
A flash of panic flashed across Yu Zhong's face.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. The situation of Commander Lin is unknown now. If I take over as the temporary commander, will there be any criticism in the army?"
"You don't need to worry about this!"
The old prince waved his sleeves and made a full gesture.
"With me supporting you, those scoundrels will not dare to come out to cause trouble."
"Vice Commander Yu, I trust you, please don't let me down!"
There was a flash of struggle in Yu Zhong's eyes. After a moment of silence, he bowed deeply and said in a serious tone:
"In this way, I will be able to rely on the prince more in the future."
"One family, don't talk about two families! Deputy Commander Yu came to Luozhou to provide disaster relief, and he is one of Luozhou's own people. I believe that the Longwu Army will make further progress under the leadership of Commander Yu."
"Come here, let's have a banquet! Today, the king wants to entertain the commander well, so he immediately ordered the kitchen to make preparations in advance."
Yu Zhong bowed again, a touch of emotion appeared on his cheeks.
"Yu Zhong, thank you so much for your kindness, Your Majesty. I'm very sorry."
…
In the suburbs of the closed city,
Thousands of soldiers spread out and were conducting a dragnet search at the place where Lin Luo disappeared.
However, their costumes are not Longwu Army soldiers, but the Huwei Army, which has always been at odds with Longwu Army.
At this time, Lei Qiang was leaning under an old pine tree, looking a little tired, taking the water bag and taking a sip.
"It's strange. No one can be seen alive, and no body can be seen dead. Where is he, young master, now?"
At this time, a soldier came trotting over, panting heavily and saying:
"Deputy Commander, our people have searched three times and there is no trace of Commander Lin at all."
"Do you think we should continue the search?"
"Search! Dig the ground three feet for me to find traces of Commander Lin. Otherwise, how could I let us go after we return to the capital!"
Lei Qiang finished speaking in a loud voice, immediately put away the water bag and continued searching on the mountain.
…
"What? You said Lin Luo was assassinated and his life and death are unknown?"
Yang Dong looked surprised and stared at Hong Laoliu standing in front of him.
To say that Lao Liu was really powerful, he actually brought back all the Immortals Zui that Hu Xiong had taken away with him.
At this moment, Hong Laoliu was chewing on chicken legs and drinking heavily.
"Yes, this is the latest news I got. It seems that someone took action against Lin Luo, which led to the current situation."
"I heard that the old prince who closed the city seemed to be interested in meddling in the affairs of the Longwu Army. He invited Yu Zhong, the deputy commander of the Longwu Army, to attend the banquet, and also invited many guests to accompany him. That scene was awesome!"
"Oh, is this happening?"
Yang Dong's expression was slightly startled, but he began to make calculations in his mind.
Lin Luo's disappearance was unexpected but reasonable.
After all, before leaving Beijing, he had already received news from Uncle Zhang.
I just didn’t expect that Uncle Zhang would have such great energy!
On the territory of Dazhou, he dared to take action against the only son of the chief minister. The key was that he succeeded.
But why did you choose this moment?
Is there another deeper meaning, or...
Yang Dong frowned in thought, then suddenly became enlightened after a moment.
Understood!
I see!
If my prediction is correct, the reason why Uncle Zhang's men took action this time was actually because I inadvertently provided an assist in the dark.
After all, if people from Shanhaiwei come to assassinate me, there will definitely be a void of defense around Lin Luo. The killer sent by Uncle Zhang took this opportunity to attack Lin Luo.
As for the success or failure of the matter, it seems difficult to say at present.
But Lin Luo must have suffered a heavy blow, otherwise he wouldn't have kept showing up.
Lin Luo, Lin Luo, you plotted against me, but you didn’t expect that you were included in the plot, right?
The corners of Yang Dong's mouth raised slightly, but his eyes were cold and biting.
He was not surprised by the old prince's action.
How could such an ambitious guy let go of the fat on his lips?
It's just that this piece of fat meat may not be that delicious.
A hint of deep meaning suddenly appeared on Yang Dong's cheek. He knew that he was about to return to Beijing.
"Come here, go and deliver the order of this inspector immediately."
"This patrol envoy will be waiting for the distinguished guests to arrive in Changcheng."
As soon as these words came out, several Xichang secret agents who followed Yang Dong were immediately confused.
Are there any distinguished guests visiting? Why don't they know about this at all.
But since it was the factory owner's order, they immediately obeyed it.
Yang Dong yawned boredly and looked eastward through the window.
In this case, the matter of Qinglian Sect should also come to an end.
"Lao Liu, how about you accompany me to the east?"
Hong Laoliu's eyes moved, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes as he looked at Yang Dong.
Why is this kid so crazy? After just escaping from death, you want to go to the territory of Qinglian Sect again?
But after a moment, his eyes became more clear.
Wait, when this kid came, he seemed to have brought two protectors from the Green Lotus Sect.
In this case, it makes sense.
It seems that this boy's background is more complicated than he thought.
Interesting little guy, no wonder Boss Jia and Lao Wu value you so much.
Even so, what if I go with you?
It's just that the old woman who is the leader of the Qinglian Sect... is a bit troublesome.
After silently gathering his thoughts, Hong Laoliu immediately spoke and spit out three words.
"One thousand taels."
