The furnishings in the antique room are very simple, including a coffee table, two chairs, and a bronze incense cage.
The smoke cage is more than one meter high and placed in the middle of the room. The smoke rises and fills the room with a scent.
Light but not greasy.
It smells really good.
Wen Zhezhu sat on the chair, but his heart was filled with turmoil, thinking how could Li Lin know this?
But he remained calm on the surface and said: "Take your life? Why would I take your life?"
As he spoke, he adjusted his sitting posture and tried his best to look calm.
Li Lin smiled and said, "Sir, you may not know that Li Lin knows a bit about medical science. Your husband and Tuobayong were indeed seriously injured, but some of the cavalry who came in later had strong breaths and no injuries on their bodies. If my guess is right, Polu General Wang Cheng should be inside, right?"
Wen Zhezhu was shocked and said in surprise: "How did you know?"
Li Lin did not answer the question directly, but instead brought up an old incident: "Mr. Zhu, do you still remember thirteen years ago?"
"Are you talking about the time I saved you in Southwest County?" Wen Zhezhu said.
Li Lin nodded and said: "Thirteen years ago, Li Lin was chased by his enemies. It was my husband who helped me to kill the enemies and save Li Lin's life."
He changed the subject: "But... the matter did not end there. The gentleman only solved the first wave of enemies for Li Lin, and the second wave of enemies soon found Li Lin again. Li Lin had no choice but to flee into the South Away from the mountains.”
"Everyone knows that the Nanli Mountain Range is a monster mountain. There is no way to survive if you enter the depths. Li Lin also had a death wish. Who would have thought that the sky would not stop me, but I walked out in a daze. After I came out, I arrived in Zhangzhou. In order to survive, I joined the army and started as a small soldier. It took me thirteen years to reach my current position."
He spoke eloquently, with a deep tone, bringing people's thoughts back to thirteen years ago.
Wen Zhezhu didn't expect that Li Lin would go through so many things later. Although he seemed to say it didn't matter, anyone could tell that those days were absolutely unbearable to recall.
Imagine that a person enters the world-famous Monster Mountain and encounters countless inhuman tortures there.
"Mr. Zhu, do you want to know how I figured out General Wang's plan?" Li Lin said.
"I'm really curious," Wen Zhezhu said.
Li Lin said: "Not long ago, someone sent a message to Li Lin. Wang Cheng, the Polu general, left the city with three to four hundred cavalry. As a general of an army in Nanli, he led troops out of the city late at night. What can he do? Woolen cloth?"
"I am not a member of the army, so how can I know why General Wang led his troops out of the city?" Wen Zhezhu said.
Li Lin smiled and said, "Actually, this alone is not enough to make me doubt General Wang's motives. Coincidentally, a few days ago, people from the Gaoshan Kingdom also heard about the sneak attack on Nanli."
"A group of Gaoshan people actually avoided our army's defense area and appeared in Nanli County without anyone noticing. At that time, I was thinking, is there a secret passage connecting Nanli County to Nanli Mountains?"
Wen Zhezhu took over: "You escaped from death in the Nanli Mountains and knew that such a passage might exist."
"good!"
Li Lin nodded and said: "Combining these two points, I know that General Wang probably got the information about the secret passage from the Gaoshan people, and then entered Liuzhou through this secret passage. As for what happened in the past two days I didn’t believe it from the beginning that the barbarians from the Gaoshan country wanted to take revenge on Liuzhou. The people from the Gaoshan country don’t have such a strong army, let alone iron-armed copper crossbows!”
"Iron-armed copper crossbow?" Wen Zhezhu read it again.
Li Lin said: "Thanks to Mr. Zhu for this. If Mr. Zhu hadn't personally killed those hundreds of people and left many traces, Li Lin might not have been able to find them."
"So, you are sure that I have conspired with General Wang to kill you?" Wen Zhezhu said.
Li Lin shook his head and said: "Of course it's not as simple as killing me alone. Just killing Li Lin alone won't be able to quickly defeat Zhangzhou. We have to get rid of one person - He Lian!"
"Since you knew they were going to get rid of He Lian, why did you ask someone to take them to the Yamen?" Wen Zhezhu was puzzled.
Li Lin smiled and said, "Who said they went to the Yamen?"
Seeing Wen Zhezhu's expression change, he continued: "I have heard that General Wang is a rare and peerless general in the world. I just don't know if he can escape from the ambush I set."
Wen Zhezhu couldn't sit still after hearing this, but Li Lin's laughter came to his ears again.
"Mr. Zhu, have you ever thought that Tuoba Yong and I were supposed to go to see He Lian together, so why did I bring Mr. Zhu here?"
Wen Zhezhu suddenly thought of something and quickly mobilized the true energy in his body, but found that he couldn't mobilize it at all.
He didn't know what he was encountering, so he said: "Did you poison me?"
"It's not a powerful poison, it just prevents sir from using his true energy temporarily."
Li Lin raised the tea in the cup and took a sip, and said: "Sir is a martial arts master. It is too difficult to keep him, so Li Lin had to take this step."
"Okay! Okay! You did a great job!" Wen Zhezhu laughed angrily.
Li Lin said: "As long as you wait for one more stick of incense, you will be killed or beheaded as you wish."
"Huh!" Wen Zhezhu turned his head and stopped looking at him.
Li Lin had already expected that he would change like this, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, do you regret saving Li Lin? I will tell you with the facts that you did not save the wrong person. Li Lin is definitely not that kind of ungrateful person." .The reason why we made this move today is just to capture that General Wang!"
Seeing that Wen Zhezhu still ignored him, he took another sip of tea, looked into the void and said, "I think General Wang has already entered an ambush at this time."
Dark streets.
Two groups of soldiers walked in front holding torches, followed by a few people with blood stains on their bodies.
Tuoba Yong shouted to the front: "Hey! I asked you guys, did you go the wrong way? Why is it getting darker as you go? Is this the way to the Yamen?"
However, none of the two groups of soldiers walking in the front paid him any attention. He yelled: "You little bastards, I'm asking you a question! Are your ears stuffed with donkey hair?"
However, the two groups of soldiers continued to move forward without looking back, and moved faster and faster.
Soon, they turned from walking to running and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
No matter how stupid Tuobayong is, he can still see the problem, not to mention he is not stupid at all.
"stop!"
He yelled and ran after him, but before he could run a few steps, a large net suddenly fell from the sky.
"You damn Li Lin! Are you fucking trying to kill me? Just wait for me. If I die here, you won't be able to live. My brother will definitely lead his troops to kill you personally!"
"Save me quickly! Ah..."
