When the Dongxia Army was planning to assassinate Lin Chuhe, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the Southern Conquest Army formation not far from Lin Chuhe.
This is a man who looks a bit unreal, but is much more solid than Seiwa Shikigami. He is dressed in black and has a black cloth covering his face, so his true appearance cannot be seen clearly.
His appearance immediately caused chaos in the Zhengnan Army. Lin Chuhe's guards surrounded him, but he raised his hands as if he would never take action.
Everyone, I have something important to do and I must see Marshal Lin. This matter is related to Marshal Lin's safety. Please inform me immediately. The man in black said solemnly.
Everyone saw that the man in black had no intention of taking action. What he said seemed to be of great importance. The guards did not dare to neglect. Someone immediately left the crowd surrounding the man in black and rushed to Lin Chuhe to report.
Soon after, a man and a woman rushed over. They walked into the crowd, and everyone gave way. Everyone's expression was very respectful.
These two powerful men were both of Yasheng strength. Although they were both a man and a woman, their appearance was indeed very different from Bai Lingshuang's two personal guards.
Among the two people, the man looks to be in his forties, very tall, but very thin. His skin is very white, he has no beard on his face, he is wearing a black outfit, and his appearance is average but gives people a feminine look. Feeling that there is a lack of masculinity in every gesture.
The woman is several years older than the man. She is not tall but very burly. She has a square face with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She is not angry and intimidating. She is also wearing a black outfit, but she gives off the impression that She was so fierce that if it weren't for the rise and fall of her chest, it would be difficult to see the features of a woman on her body.
The two people with such contrasting looks are the two Yasheng masters among Lin Chuhe's guards.
The man's name is Chen Huai'en. He is not a complete man, but a eunuch in the Taichu Palace.
Chen Huai'en was born in poverty, and was sent to the palace by his parents who could not afford to support him since he was a child. He was originally an extremely ordinary little eunuch in the Taichu Palace, and there are only two fates for powerless eunuchs.
If you are lucky, you can find an official position in the palace and serve your master until you are old and are expelled from the palace to find a place to spend the rest of your life.
If you are unlucky and accidentally commit some crimes or get involved in a palace fight, being executed is the best outcome.
Chen Huai'en's luck was extremely good. Not long after he entered the palace, he was spotted by a special old eunuch and was accepted as a disciple.
The old eunuch was actually a master in the palace. Even the emperor himself respected the old servant very much. Chen Huai'en was accepted as a close disciple by the old eunuch because of his excellent bones. At that time, the old eunuch was far away from the end of his life. There is not much time left.
From then on, Chen Huai'en rose to greatness. The old eunuch not only spent all his remaining time teaching this disciple, but also specially recommended Chen Huai'en like the Emperor Taichu.
Soon after, the old eunuch passed away, and Chen Huai'en was promoted by the late emperor Li Jianshen. He himself was also very successful. With his excellent talent and hard work far beyond ordinary people, he surpassed the old eunuch and entered the world at the age of more than thirty. Reached the master state.
The woman's identity is much more prominent than Chen Huai'en. Her name is Li Xiuning, and she can be said to be the clan sister of Emperor Taichu Li Boqian.
She was born into the royal family and was a descendant of the royal family who fled to Yingzhou when Taichu was in decline. However, her branch had long since declined, and she was a commoner, so it could be said that she had not received much care from the Taichu royal family.
Although Li Xiuning is not destined to be a princess, she has been strong and healthy since she was a child, and she showed her talent for martial arts at a very young age. Her father, a down-and-out prince, decided to send her to practice in the Xinghe Sect. It was not a good fate to give her. His daughter looks for a way out.
Seven-year-old Li Xiuning easily entered the Xinghe Sect with her powerful external skills talent and became a disciple of Tianxuan Pavilion. She has a mature and calm personality and is very powerful among the Xinghe Sect disciples at the same time. Her external skills talent and strength even improved later. Jiang Wanli, the master of Tianxuan Pavilion, is above.
It can be said that if Li Xiuning had continued to practice in the Xinghe Sect, with her strength and character, Jiang Wanli would not be in trouble as the head of the Tianxuan Pavilion.
But when she entered the realm of a master in her thirties, the news that she was a royal legacy reached the ears of the then Emperor Taichu, Li Jianshen.
Li Jianshen attached great importance to this powerful royal child, and after much hard work, Li Xiuning finally agreed to leave the Xinghe Sect.
When she returned to the Taichu Palace, Li Jianshen was not stingy and decreed that Li Xiuning be canonized as Princess Xingyang. Even her down-and-out prince father was also given a new title and fief.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Emperor Taichu Li Boqian sent these two men to protect Lin Chuhe. In addition to loving Lin Chuhe, it is also the responsibility of these two men to monitor the marshal who controls the military strength of a country.
However, Li Xiuning and Chen Huaien had great trust in Lin Chuhe and never conveyed any bad news to Li Boqian.
It was precisely because of the existence of these two people around that Lin Chuhe was so convinced that something was wrong with the Taichu Palace after seeing the imperial edict and the tiger talisman. Because if such an important thing was lost, even if Li Boqian didn't trust him, he would inform these two people. Absolute confidant.
After the two of them walked in front of the man in black, Li Xiuning said: "Marshal Lin has invited me. I think you are at least a powerful Yasheng. If you have evil intentions, don't blame me and I for being ruthless."
The man in black smiled and said: "Your Highness Princess Xingyang, please rest assured, I don't have any ill intentions."
That's good! Li Xiuning said coldly. She made a gesture of invitation and walked forward without looking back. She was not surprised at all that the man in black knew her identity.
The man in black followed Li Xiuning, and Chen Huai'en walked behind the man in black with a vigilant look on his face, ready to take action at any time.
Nothing happened along the way, and the man in black was quickly brought to Lin Chuhe.
Lin Chuhe looked at this uninvited guest with interest and did not speak first.
If he wasn't in a hurry, others would be anxious. The man in black gently brushed the black cloth covering his face with one hand, and the black cloth immediately disappeared, revealing the true appearance of the man in black.
This man was not handsome in life, his face was thin and his skin was fair, and he looked a little frail. He bowed his hands respectfully and said: Dongxia Qi Guangren pays homage to Marshal Lin!
Lin Chuhe raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise: Qi Guangren, the young master of the East Palace? From the looks of it, I think you should be some kind of spirit body, and it is said that you are powerful. It seems that the previous information was wrong. Master Qi is not simple.
Qi Guangren, dressed in black, smiled and said: I have some tricks. I came here specifically to convey a message to the marshal. The Dongxia Army has decided to send experts to assassinate the marshal. There are no less than three Yasheng masters leading the team.
Lin Chuhe looked calm, and after thinking for a moment, he said: Let me guess, Dongxia will definitely send those Qinghe God Masters here.
Qi Guangren shook his head slightly and said: The three Yashengs leading the team this time are all close experts to the two princes!
Lin Chuhe was not calm this time. He was a little surprised and said: Before the outcome of the war is clear, Dongxia will actually use the crown prince's personal masters to come and assassinate me? Who came up with this stupid trick?
The corners of Qi Guangren's mouth raised slightly and he said: Marshal, the reason is not important. What is important is how the Marshal seizes this opportunity!
It seems that your purpose is very clear. I am very curious. As the prince's teacher, why do you deliberately try to kill the prince? Lin Chuhe's eyes lit up, but his tone was cold.
Qi Guangren still smiled and said without changing his expression: Marshal Lin, is this matter important? You and I each take what we need.
Lin Chuhe remained calm and said in a gloomy tone: Then let's talk about the important things. Why do I trust you? I have reason to believe that your trip is a big conspiracy.
Qi Guangren smiled confidently: "It is up to the marshal to decide whether to believe it or not, but I believe that with the marshal's ability to recognize people, he will be able to tell whether I am lying."
Lin Chuhe suddenly laughed, and he laughed louder and louder. Qi Guangren still looked at Lin Chuhe calmly. Lin Chuhe put away his smile and said: Master Qi is a smart man. I believe that there must be terrible support behind you. I hope Master Qi The teacher will not become an outcast in the future.
Qi Guangren respectfully held his hands again and said: "Qi must keep the words of the Marshal in mind, but the world is a chess game, and you and I are not the ones holding the pieces. The fate of the chess pieces only depends on the thought of the person holding the piece."
Lin Chuhe said thoughtfully: It seems that Master Qi knows who is the real player in the game.
Qi Guangren smiled silently and did not answer.
Lin Chuhe waved his hand and said: That's all, I have made a decision, you can leave on your own.
Farewell! Qi Guangren didn't ask much about Lin Chuhe's decision, and decisively said goodbye and left. Not long after he walked out, he turned into a black smoke and dissipated, disappearing without a trace.
After Qi Guangren left, Li Xiuning hurriedly said: Marshal Lin, this guy speaks weird words and acts strangely. The information he brings cannot be trusted!
Chen Huai'en, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: Marshal, this man is not a good person, he must have a conspiracy. His voice was sharp and feminine, no different from that of an ordinary eunuch.
Lin Chuhe shook his head gently and said: Qi Guangren did not lie, and the information he brought must be true. He has a conspiracy, but it is not against you and me. For you and me, he is using conspiracy.
The two looked shocked, and Li Xiuning asked: What did the Marshal say?
Lin Chuhe's eyes were strange and he said: Dongxia sent a large number of masters to assassinate me. How should you and I respond?
Li Xiuning and Chen Huaien said almost in unison: We will swear to the death to protect the safety of the marshal!
Lin Chuhe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "At least three sub-sages lead the team. The people of Dongxia also think highly of me, Lin Chuhe. I am a scholar with no power to tie a chicken. Even if the two of you have amazing cultivation, you can compete with more than three sub-sages." Masters fight without losing, but it's easy for them to kill me!
The two were silent after hearing this, and Li Xiuning said eagerly: Marshal, you can avoid them!
hide? Where to hide? Let's not talk about how long we can hide. I, the Taichu Marshal, have hidden. How should the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles deal with themselves now? If I hide, they will have no choice but to surrender!
Li Xiuning and Chen Huaien looked at each other. They both wanted to persuade but didn't know what to say.
Do we just have to wait to die? The person who spoke this time was Chen Huaien, who was not good at speaking, and his tone was full of helplessness.
I am here to wait for death, but you two have to work hard. Lin Chuhe remained calm in the face of life and death.
Li Xiuning frowned and said: Marshal, do you mean to let the two of us assassinate the Crown Prince of Dongxia?
That's right! Why not make such a good deal by exchanging my life for that of the Crown Prince of Dongxia? Once the crown prince of Dongxia dies, the morale of the Dongxia army will definitely drop drastically, and our army will have a chance to turn defeat into victory! Even if it doesn't work, it can completely cut off the Dongxia Army's way north.
