Looking to Chang'an from the North

"Let the spies go and find out what happened in Yuyang City." The first thing Si Nanxian said when he returned to the city was to ask Meng Lingsu to find out the news.

Meng Lingsu glanced at him, "For news in Yuyang City, what you want to check is Xia Yizheng's news, right?"

After so many years of friendship, Si Nanxian knew what Meng Lingsu was thinking as soon as he opened his mouth.

Si Nanxian raised his eyebrows and did not refute. This is indeed his main purpose, "You just do it."

"Okay, okay." Meng Lingsu shook his head helplessly. The man said he didn't care anymore, but he still couldn't let it go.

After Lin Chuhuai returned to the city, he first asked people to reward the soldiers, and then paid attention to Zhong Qi's situation.Although on the surface they were the losing side today, in reality this was enough to confuse Si Nanxian.

There were not many wounded soldiers, and the treatment was quick, but it was inevitable that there would be voices of dissatisfaction with Lin Chuhuai in the barracks.

"If you want me to say that Mrs. Lin is a benevolent woman, if we continue to fight according to today's situation, we may not lose. Maybe we can take Hankou in one go. How could we choose to retreat under such circumstances?"

"You still don't understand this? The young man who was raised in Shangjing has never seen his appearance on the battlefield. Maybe he was frightened. I don't know. When I saw him on the school ground yesterday, I thought he was a worthy man. The character of our general now seems to be nothing more than that."

"That's right. If the general is okay, he will not retreat so easily. You haven't seen the arrogance of the Northern Qi people."

Several soldiers sat around together, their words were full of complaints about Lin Chuhuai.

"Ahem." Zhong Qi stood behind them and listened silently for a while, and he couldn't hold back his cough when he heard the words getting more and more exaggerated.

"Deputy General Zhong." Several people found Zhong Qi standing behind them, stood up quickly, and stood neatly in a row.

Today they retreated in defeat without doing their best, Zhong Qi knew that they would inevitably have some complaints in their hearts, and it was inconvenient to blame them too much, but said, "Master Lin naturally has Master Lin's plans, I don't want to hear these words again today. Twice, don't let them have a chance to reach the general's ears."

If Xia Yizheng hears these words, it will only embarrass him, one side is the brother and the other is the wife, neither side can be blamed.

"But Lieutenant Zhong, this time it's obvious..." Some experienced veterans were not convinced either.

But Zhong Qi said, "Okay, don't say too much. Mr. Lin is a rare talent that Tianyu has encountered in a hundred years. Although he may lack actual combat experience, his understanding of war is not inferior to any of you." The most important thing is that you have to remember that Mr. Lin will never do anything against Tian Yu."

Although everyone was still a little aggrieved, they all obeyed their orders and stopped talking.

Lin Chuhuai was standing at the corner, and the words just now fell into his ears verbatim.

"My lord, how could these reckless people slander you so much." Hearing this, Yun Shu wished he could roll up his sleeves and fight hundreds of battles with them before he could vent his anger.

My young master often reads the military books until midnight and never falls asleep, all his heart is devoted to formulating the battle situation and plans.These big bastards don't know anything, why are they slandering his son by opening their mouths.

However, Lin Chuhuai stopped the excited Yun Shu, turned around and took him back to the room, and poured him a cup of tea with his own hands. His face was very calm, and he didn't look angry.

"My lord, aren't you angry at all?" Yun Shu still felt aggrieved after drinking tea, and felt aggrieved for his lord.

But Lin Chuhuai smiled indifferently, "I've never led a soldier, and they don't know the plan, so it's not surprising that there will be complaints."

Even the soldiers under him feel that he does not have the ability to be a good general, so in Si Nanxian's opinion, he does not have it. Only in this way can his vigilance be better reduced, and he will be more confident in leading troops to support in the future Qin Guan.

Over there, Meng Lingsu's people also inquired about the news.

As soon as he got the news, he went to find Si Nanxian.

"The spies said that Xia Yizheng's old injury had recurred, and he had been bedridden for the past few days, and his injury was serious. Lin Chuhuai admitted this in front of the soldiers. Although he didn't know the truth or falsehood, he couldn't be wrong if he said so in public. .”

When I saw Xia Yizheng a few days ago, he didn't seem to have any discomfort.Meng Lingsu did not believe in his heart that this man would be critically ill in just a few days, but if Lin Chuhuai risked the possibility of shaking the morale of the army just to fabricate a lie, what was the purpose?

Si Nanxian crushed the object he was playing with when he heard the words, and the expression on his face could not be seen as worried or deep.

He has always heard about Xia Yizheng's injury. Although Tianyu won the Battle of Hirano back then, it was also a miserable victory.Tuoba Han died, but this person's injury should not be underestimated, this person behaved normally in Jizhou before, but he forgot, there is still this trouble.

Meng Lingsu looked at the blood flowing from the man's fingers, feeling uneasy in his heart.This person will become irrational as soon as he encounters Xia Yizheng, just look at the last time he was in Jizhou.But this time is different from last time, Ye Lin, as the commander-in-chief of the first army, he must not make any mistakes, let alone do things according to his will.

But Si Nanxian's next words just confirmed his uneasiness just now.

"Get ready, bring a few people, and sneak into Yuyang City with me tonight."

Sneaking into Yuyang City, this person must be crazy.Now that the two armies are at war, the city of Yuyang must be heavily guarded, not to mention people wanting to sneak in, even a fly may not be easy to fly in.

"No, it's not known if this matter is true or not. Maybe Lin Chuhuai deliberately released the news to lure you into the bait. You just want to enter the city so hastily, and it is very likely that you are playing into his hands." I had to. Said that Meng Lingsu is still very rational.

But Si Nanxian raised his hand to stop what he wanted to say next, "I know your worry is not unreasonable. But I have my own measure, you don't need to say too much, just pick a few who are good at lurking and are more agile people come."

Is this still the regent king who is decisive in killing and killing, and makes everyone in the court and the opposition awe.

Sure enough, the word love is the most disturbing.Even the most powerful and calm people can lose their minds.

This was really not at all like the regent of Daqi he knew.

But Meng Lingsu really did not persuade him anymore. The decisions made by this person are never left to others to comment on. It is useless for anyone to persuade him. He might as well find some reliable people for this person honestly. Follow is the right thing to do.

Si Nanxian glanced at the sky outside, there was still a long time before midnight, and he could still make good preparations.Since you want to sneak in, you can't choose the daytime, and the most suitable time is when the night is dark.

But what he didn't know was that at this time, the Marshal's Mansion in Yuyang City was heavily guarded by soldiers.

When night fell, Zhong Qi stood guard outside the door of the main house.Lin Chuhuai was reading in the house. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew very well that Si Nanxian would probably appear tonight. When it came to the depth of affection, he might not be able to match him.

The process of sneaking into Yuyang City was a bit too smooth, as if someone deliberately wanted to let them into the city.Si Nanxian was not without doubts in his mind, but now that he had reached this point, he had to see that person with his own eyes to be at ease.

As soon as Si Nanxian entered the city, someone came to report to Lin Chuhuai, which was really as he expected, but this news made him not know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.The hidden guards in the mansion are already in place, if Si Nanxian can be taken down without any effort today, it will save him from attacking the city in the future.

In the middle of the night, the streets of Yuyang City were a little too quiet, and there were hardly any pedestrians walking around.

Si Nanxian only brought two people with him, too many people would be easily exposed, and if it wasn't necessary, he didn't even want to bring these two people with him.

Marshal's Mansion is located in the very center of Yuyang City, with a clear goal and easy to find.Si Nanxian jumped onto the roof, followed by his two subordinates, who also started to climb the walls.

Arriving at the street opposite the Marshal's Mansion, Si Nanxian stopped cautiously. In the middle of the night, the mansion was very dark, and only a few rooms were still lit.He had seen the map of the Marshal's Mansion in advance, and he knew exactly where the main courtyard was, and the main courtyard was one of the few houses that were still lit.

It's already this point, why don't you fall asleep?

This is more or less suspicious, but it may be that the person is seriously ill, and it is not certain that someone is taking care of him all night.No matter how much you think about it, it's still speculation, it's better to see it with your own eyes.

Si Nanxian asked his two subordinates to stay where they were and closely observe the movements in the mansion, while he went up to the roof of the Marshal's mansion alone.His steps were extremely light and his movements were quick, and he arrived at the main house very quickly.

He lifted off a tile on the roof, which corresponded to Lin Chuhuai who was still reading at night at this time.Si Nanxian buckled the tile back, took two more steps, and was going to change to another place for another look.

Lin Chuhuai's hand, which was flipping through the books, also paused. His hearing has always been excellent, and even the slightest movement can't escape his ears.After Si Nanxian pushed back the bricks, he looked up at the roof.

Zhong Qi outside the door also noticed some movement.

The tile that Si Nanxian lifted again was just above the bed. The top of the bed was carved with fine craftsmanship and heavy curtains. The specific situation on the bed was not clear, only the bulge under the brocade quilt could be vaguely seen.

This is far from enough, and it is completely impossible to know what is going on with this person.After a moment of silence, Si Nanxian chose to jump from the roof and land in the courtyard. Lin Chuhuai was a scholar, but he didn't pay much attention to him.

But the moment he landed, the hidden guards who were dormant all over the courtyard rushed out and surrounded him, and Lin Chuhuai also opened the door and walked out of the house.

Counted.

It would be a bit stupid if Si Nanxian couldn't react at this time, but he felt relieved when he realized this, at least the man wasn't really seriously injured, and his life was at stake.

Looking at Si Nanxian who was surrounded, Lin Chuhuai didn't know what to say for a while, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was relieved that Yunji could be cared by such an infatuated person, but he felt vaguely It's a bit sour, which is really strange.

"Why did the Regent King Xingye come here?"

"Oh..." Si Nanxian sneered, looking at Lin Chuhuai, his eyes were filled with frost.

"Master Lin should know why this king came here, so why ask more questions."

The author has something to say: In fact, the regent is also an infatuated person, but it is a pity that Lao Xia gave all of his heart to Chang Yun, and it is impossible to give half of it to others, not to mention the hatred between them.

One more tonight...
