Sima Daoheng's eyes moved rapidly, thinking about the news involving Xie Chong.
In a hurry, Sima Daoheng had no idea at all.
Xie Chong, an old man, always behaves in a flawless manner and does not give anyone any excuses.
Sima Daoheng looked at Lin Feng, with an embarrassed look on his face, and said: "Lin Feng, I didn't think of it for a moment. Look, can you give me a little more..."
Snapped!
There was a loud slap.
Lin Feng slapped Sima Daoheng and knocked him to the ground. His eyes were cold and he said, "Now, have you thought about it?"
Sima Daoheng fell to the ground, his face was burning, and his slightly old face was already red and swollen. After all, he was quite old. He was slapped by Lin Feng, and his brain was a little dizzy. He reluctantly stood up and said quickly: "Lin Feng, I really didn't think of it for the moment. You also know Xie Chong..."
Snapped!
Another slap.
Lin Feng showed no mercy and said again: "If you haven't thought of it yet, next time, instead of slapping you, I will send you back to the west."
brush!
Sima Daoheng's expression changed drastically.
In his heart, he wished that Lin Feng would die immediately, but Lin Feng's ruthlessness was beyond his imagination. He ignored the swollen cheeks on both sides and said quickly: "Mr. Lin, listen to me. I really don't have any valuable information about Xie Chong."
"Xie Chong, this old man, is extremely cunning and does everything flawlessly. It is impossible to find any flaws in him. Although I have no news about Xie Chong, I know that two pieces of news are related to you."
Lin Feng said: "Say?"
Sima Daoheng breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "The first news is that Xie Wen, a great scholar of Jin State, was invited by Tian Ziyun, a great scholar of Qi State, and is about to leave for Qi State to deal with Xunzi. This matter is related to Tian Ziyun's disciple Wang Can is responsible. Xie Wen is also a great Confucian and is very familiar with Confucian classics. He went to Qi to help Tian Ziyun. Once he argued with Xunzi, Xunzi might not be able to win."
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed.
I was thinking in my mind.
In order to deal with the teacher this time, Tian Ziyun not only contacted the powerful and Buddhists, but also asked Xie Wen for help.
Obviously, these powerful people in Qi State are already willing to go all out to deal with the teacher.
Lin Feng asked: "Where's the second news?"
Sima Daoheng said again: "The second news is that I got the news that Li Jun, the red-armored knight of the Xia Kingdom, was also killed. The red-armored knight was furious and wanted to deal with you. The most important thing is, because you caused the Xia Kingdom and the The breakup of the Jin Kingdom means that the Xia Kingdom wants to kill you even more. In Jinling City, it is difficult for them to succeed. But outside of Jinling, they will take action again."
Lin Feng thought quickly in his mind.
Xie Wen went north to Qi State Linzi, which was a big problem. However, his teacher Xunzi was no ordinary person either.
It's not something that can be dealt with casually.
As for the attack of the red armored cavalry, it is indeed normal. After all, what Lin Feng was doing was destroying the alliance formed by Xia State, and Xia State would definitely retaliate.
Sima Daoheng saw Lin Feng pondering, with a look of expectation in his eyes, and said: "Lin Feng, I have told you both the news. Now, can you let me go."
"You go."
Lin Feng nodded.
Sima Daoheng's face showed joy, and even a murderous intention appeared in his eyes, but he hid it again in the blink of an eye.
He will take revenge.
He will make Lin Feng regret it.
Sima Daoheng suppressed his inner excitement, turned around and left. Just when Sima Daoheng took two steps, he heard a puff sound, and Sima Daoheng felt a pain in his heart.
He looked down and saw the tip of a sword emerging from his heart. Drops of blood flowed from the tip of the sword and fell to the ground.
Heartbreaking pain spread throughout the body.
He felt extremely uncomfortable.
puff!
The sword was drawn out and blood spurted out.
Sima Daoheng's face was full of pain. He turned around and looked at Lin Feng, gritted his teeth and said, "You, why are you?"
"I said I won't kill you, but I didn't say others wouldn't kill you."
Lin Feng looked cold and said in a deep voice: "Sima Daoheng, you have lived for most of your life, don't you know how to eradicate the roots? Don't you naively think that I will let you go with just one or two words? "
"you……"
Sima Daoheng's eyes widened.
"me……"
Sima Daoheng's body felt that all the strength had disappeared. At this moment, he felt that his eyes were completely dark.
thump!
Sima Daoheng's body fell to the ground, no longer breathing. But the look on Sima Daoheng's face still showed deep reluctance.
Lin Feng looked at Sima Daoheng who had lost his breath and ordered: "Yingwu, move all the corpses of Sima Daoheng and all his subordinates to the depths of the mountain and let them be eaten by jackals. Even if they are discovered, it will be difficult to do so." Track it down.”
Ying Wusheng said: "Sir, don't worry, our people will destroy the corpses and leave no traces. We will ensure that no one will know the news."
Lin Feng said: "If this is the case, it is best."
Ying Wu looked at the other grandmaster and gave simple and quick instructions. Following the actions of a group of secret personnel from the Black Ice Platform, in a short period of time, Sima Daoheng and more than 30 people from the other palaces were all moved to the mountain. Deep processing.
Yingwu was still beside Lin Feng. He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Sir, after Sima Daoheng's matter is settled, it's time for us to go north."
Lin Feng said: "We need to change our strategy for the next trip."
Yingwu asked: "What do you mean, sir?"
Lin Feng said: "Sima Daoheng mentioned the situation of the Red Armor Cavalry just now. Since the Red Armor Cavalry wants to deal with me, they will take action again. Especially this time when I go north, if under normal circumstances, I will definitely take the waterway, the other party's spy Just keep an eye on the waterway.”
"Once we take the boat and take the waterway step by step, it is difficult for the people from Heibingtai to deal with it. Once something happens, they are even less able to help. However, when we take the land route, there are people from Heibingtai everywhere along the way, and we can even do it secretly. Take some of the people from Black Ice Platform to the north."
"Fighting on water is different from fighting on land. Boats must be used on water. If the boat is damaged, it will fall into the water. It will be in an area with calm currents. If it is in a place with fast currents, it will fall into the water, even if it is a Grandmaster. It’s also difficult to handle.”
"So we changed our strategy. When we leave Jinling City and go to Guangling City, we will first take a land route. Once we enter Guangling City, we will change direction and take the water route to prevent the Chijia Cavalry from guessing our whereabouts."
After Ying Wu listened, he looked admiring and said, "Sir, what you said makes sense."
He also became wary in his heart.
Fortunately, Sima Daoheng was interrogated, otherwise he would have been easily targeted if he didn't know the news about Chi Jia Qi.
Now that I know it, everything will be easier to handle.
He wouldn't be calculated like this.
Lin Feng said: "Let's go, let's continue going north and change the route."
"Here!"
Yingwu nodded.
The group of people continued walking along the official road, but after walking for a while, they no longer went to the north ferry.
When Lin Feng and his party were heading north, they were at the Cangshan Ferry six miles north of Jiu'an Mountain.
This is the ferry crossing to the north by boat to Qi State.
On the shore of the ferry, there were many merchant ships moored, and there were also many coolies coming and going carrying sacks. The ferry is the key to commerce, so there are many people coming and going, and it is very bustling and lively.
In a remote corner of the ferry pier, a short middle-aged man sat and looked around.
A middle-aged man named Liu Zhang, a member of the Red Armor Cavalry, was arranged to watch at Cangshan Ferry. As long as Lin Feng and his party boarded the ship, he would arrange for someone to follow them, and then Liu Zhang would report the news. It's just that the sky has gradually darkened, and it's almost evening, but no one has been seen yet.
how can that be possible?
When Lin Feng left Jinling City, it was just after noon. It was more than ten miles from Jinling City to Cangshan Ferry. Especially since Lin Feng was riding a horse-drawn carriage, he was traveling very quickly, so he wouldn't have to wait all afternoon.
There are some problems with this.
Night falls and the sun sets.
It is still the first month of the year, the sun has faded away at night, and the cold air is coming. Especially when the wind blows from the river bank, it is even more chilly, making people shiver.
Liu Zhang tightened his robe and stared at the river bank, which was starting to become empty.
The coolies carrying supplies have all dispersed.
When Liu Zhang saw that everything had calmed down, he looked back and frowned immediately.
He knew that Lin Feng would definitely not come.
Something must be wrong.
Liu Zhang didn't dare to waste any more time, so he stood up and left as if he was flying. After walking some distance, he took his horse and galloped away quickly. When he was near Jinling City, he went straight to a village outside the city, came to a house, and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened.
Liu Zhang went straight in.
He came to the backyard room and saw a middle-aged man with a thin body and a white face.
This man's name is Feng Ziping, he is the godson of Zhao Yuan, the general manager of the Xia Kingdom, and he is also a eunuch. Feng Ziping served as the commander-in-chief of the Red Armor Cavalry.
When Liu Zhang saw Feng Ziping, he looked a little scared and knelt down on one knee: "Director Feng, you derelict in your duty and did not wait for Lin Feng. They did not take the water route. They must have changed their direction temporarily, maybe they took the land route."
"What?"
Feng Ziping's shrill voice rose in pitch.
He stared at Liu Zhang with a pair of triangular eyes, with even more coldness and murderous intent, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Feng is the shame of the Xia Kingdom, and even more the shame of my Red Armored Cavalry. If you don't kill Lin Feng, the Red Armored Cavalry will That's shameful. Especially the godfather gave a death order to have the Chijia Cavalry bring back Lin Feng's head. Only now are you telling me that Lin Feng didn't go to Cangshan Ferry?"
"Despicable and incompetent."
Liu Zhang lowered his head and spoke.
He knew Feng Ziping's character. This man was extremely cruel and crazy, and he acted without any scruples.
Just so, Zhao Yuan specially arranged for Feng Ziping to come, which shows that Zhao Yuan attaches great importance to this matter.
Feng Ziping looked at Liu Zhang. The more he looked at him, the more uneasy Liu Zhang felt. There were even fine beads of sweat seeping out on Liu Zhang's forehead.
He knelt on the ground, feeling uneasy.
After a long time, Feng Ziping said slowly: "Go and mobilize the people of the Red Armor Cavalry to investigate Lin Feng's whereabouts. If you can't find any information before tomorrow morning, come and see us. As the saying goes, there are only three things to do. Today's matter, I Don’t care. If you fail again, it will prove that you are a waste. As long as you are a waste, there is no value in living."
"I humbly obey my orders!"
Liu Zhang was very nervous and quickly stood up and left.
Feng Ziping sat alone in the room, his triangular eyes narrowed slightly, looking even more dark and cold.
"Lin Feng, Lin Feng, you are so cunning, you actually escaped quietly. It's a pity that no matter how cunning the prey is, it can't escape the hunter's pursuit."
"This time, you will definitely die."
"If you die in the hands of me, Feng Ziping, you deserve to die."
Feng Ziping murmured to himself.
Zhao Yuan is the general manager of the Xia Kingdom. He has more than one godson, dozens of godsons. It is not easy for Feng Ziping to stand out among so many people. Moreover, Feng Ziping is now working in the Red Armor Cavalry. He wants to go further and even take charge of the Red Armor Cavalry. He needs merit.
Lin Feng was the opponent that the Xia Emperor and even the Xia officials wanted to kill. If he killed Lin Feng, it would be a great achievement.
He can go one step further.
Feng Ziping was sitting in the room. Although it was boring, Feng Ziping was very patient and not impatient at all.
Not even sleepy at all.
This is his habit.
When something big happens, I just don’t sleep.
Time passed little by little, and the lamp oil was added again and again, burning slowly. While Feng Ziping was waiting, suddenly, the sound of a rooster crow came from the village. Although it was still dark outside, the sky changed little by little as the rooster crowed.
A flash of fish belly white appeared in the east. Soon, the darkness outside the room dissipated, and a golden glow rose, shining into the room from the window.
After Feng Ziping saw it, he stood up, stretched, walked to the door and opened it.
At this moment, the coolness of the morning came.
Feng Ziping's spirit suddenly lifted. He stood for a moment and then heard a rush of footsteps. Liu Zhang was back again.
Liu Zhang bowed and said, "Director Feng, our people have found out about Lin Feng."
"explain!"
Feng Ziping said coldly.
Liu Zhang said: "After Lin Feng left the city yesterday, he first headed towards Cangshan Ferry in a big way. But later, he suddenly changed the road and no longer took the waterway, but went north by land. Someone saw Lin Feng's carriage going straight. Go north. Following this route, the next step should be Guangling City."
"Overland?"
Feng Ziping's eyes narrowed, and his expression became even more serious.
He smiled coldly and said: "It seems that Lin Feng must have noticed our people and got wind of it. That's why Lin Feng suddenly changed his path."
Liu Zhang said: "It should be like this."
Feng Ziping continued: "In fact, in our plan, Lin Feng is protected by experts. It is more difficult to rob and kill on land. But on the water, once the bottom of the ship is pierced, the ship will leak and sink. At that time, the master will also It is difficult to exert combat effectiveness, and it will be easier for us to kill Lin Feng."
"That's why I decided on a strategy. I only need to keep an eye on the ferry. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng changed the route temporarily and broke the governor's plan. But it doesn't matter. Let's just rob and kill them now."
Liu Zhang said: "Please give orders from Governor Feng."
Feng Ziping said: "Although it is not easy to rob and kill on land, it is just not easy, not impossible. Liu Zhang, you can send a message to Guangling City first and ask the person in charge of the Red Armor Cavalry in Guangling to mobilize more troops." Strength, we must invite the Grandmaster to participate in the siege."
"Going north from Jinling, the next step is Guangling."
"As long as we quickly go north and arrive at Guangling City first, and with the participation of the Grand Master, and our own strength, we can rob and kill in Guangling. The most important thing is that in a place like Guangling, Lin Feng cannot mobilize the Jin official Strength, his strength has been weakened a lot.”
"It is also easier to rob and kill Lin Feng."
Feng Ziping made a decision directly.
He has always acted decisively and will not be sloppy. No matter how complicated the situation is, cut the knot quickly first.
This is his style.
Liu Zhang said: "Director Feng is wise!"
Feng Ziping said: "But when we go north, we will take the waterway, because the waterway is faster. Let's go directly to Cangshan Ferry and go directly to Guangling."
"Here!"
Liu Zhang answered again.
Feng Ziping immediately mobilized the red armor cavalry personnel in the yard, while Liu Zhang arranged for someone to deliver the message before leaving with Feng Ziping.
