Chapter 399

Tang Yin was allowed to enter the city lord's palace by Qiu Yue. In the hall, Qiu Yue let Tang Yin take the seat next to him, and he sat next to him. After saying a few polite words, Lotte strode in from outside.

Without even looking at Qiu Yue, Letian walked directly to Tang Yin, knelt down and whispered in his ear: "Sir, Zhong Tian and his group have lost their trace."

"What?" Tang Yin frowned and looked at Letian in confusion, not understanding what he meant. There are nearly 20,000 Ning troops, how could they disappear out of thin air?

Letian explained in a low voice: "I just received a detective report that Ning Jun is not on the official road to Textile City. As for where he went, the brothers below are still investigating."

This is really strange. If Zhong Tian doesn't escape to Textile City, where else can he escape? Does he still want to reorganize his troops and compete with himself? Tang Yin snorted coldly and said to Letian: "Send out all the brothers you and Ai Jia can mobilize, and trace the whereabouts of Zhong Tian and Ning Jun no matter what."

"Yes! Sir!" Lotte agreed, not daring to delay, and hurriedly walked out of the hall.

Seeing Letian coming and going in a hurry, with a tense look on his face, Qiu Yue didn't know what happened, and asked suspiciously: "Master Tang, did something unexpected happen?"

Tang Yin smiled at him, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, Mr. Qiu, don't worry." After saying that, he paused for a moment and asked: "Mr. Qiu, when Zhong Tian and his gang passed by the city just now, did you see Which direction are they going?"

"Xiangnan!" Qiu Yue said firmly without even thinking, "Looking at the direction, we must be heading to Textile City."

"Oh? This is strange." Tang Yin squinted his eyes and murmured.

Qiu Yue asked: "Master Tang, what's wrong?"

Tang Yin said thoughtfully: "I just received the report from the spies. On the way from Jian City to Textile City, there was no sign of Zhong Tian and his group."

Qiu Yue was stunned. After thinking for a while, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. The spies must not have found out clearly. Zhong Tian did indeed run towards the direction of Textile City. This was not only witnessed by the official What I saw was seen by all the officials in the city.”

Hearing what he said, the officials and staff all agreed: "Yes, yes, Zhong Tian did flee towards the Textile City. Mr. Tang should send another detective to find out clearly."

Tang Yin understood Lotte's character, he was cautious and steady. If he was not completely sure, he would never report the information to him. Moreover, with the ability of the eyes of the sky and the earth network, if Ning Jun was really on the official path, they would not be able to detect it.

At this time, Ziying said: "Sir, in my opinion, the enemy should hide and rest."

"Oh?" Tang Yin turned to look at Ziying, waiting for him to continue.

Ziying said: "Ning's army has been fighting hard for two days and one night, and in the process of escaping, almost all the baggage and food in the army were lost. It can be imagined that Ning's army must be tired, hungry and exhausted now. To get to Fangcheng, we have to march at least three hundred miles. With the current state of Ning's army, most of them will fall before they can reach Fangcheng. Therefore, the general judged that Ning's army must have gone to a secluded place by now. He hid somewhere and wanted to take advantage of the darkness to rest for a night and start marching after dawn. "

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded while listening, feeling that Ziying's analysis was quite reliable. He asked: "In General Ziying's opinion, where will Ning Jun hide now?"

Ziying lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "As far as the general knows, there is a Sansheng Mountain forty miles north of Jiancheng. The terrain there is steep and the environment is complex. If nothing happens, Ning Jun should be hiding. Get there."

Ziying can be said to be a master of dexterity, and he also has a thorough understanding of the enemy's situation. Even if he cannot see the enemy's every move, he can know it like the back of his hand. It's just that he misjudged the location where Ning Jun chose to hide. Under normal circumstances, the Three Sacred Mountains are indeed more conducive for Ning Jun to hide, but Zhong Tian and Ning Jun are not familiar with the local terrain and do not know that there is such a place as the San Sacred Mountains, so the place they choose to hide is just the official place. There was a small forest below the road, and this was not what Ziying had expected.

After listening to Ziying's analysis, Tang Yin put his hands on his hands and smiled, praising: "What General Ziying said makes sense. Our army will go to the Three Holy Mountains now."

Ziying smiled, shook his head and said, "Sir, don't worry. It's too dark now to fight in the mountains, and you must be tired after traveling a long distance. You can stay in the city to rest now, and then attack the enemy after dawn."

Tang Yin snorted and asked, "What if Ning Jun ran away in the middle of the night?"

Ziying had already thought of this and said with confidence: "Three Holy Mountains are three mountains sandwiched by a ditch. There is only one entrance and one exit, and there is no other way. Our Sky Eagle Army can be divided into two waves. Go first and block the other wave. At the exit, block the entrance with a wave, only defending but not attacking, trapping Ning's army. When daybreak, the adults will come with their strong Qingqi to command the army, attack from the front and back, and wipe out the enemy soldiers in one fell swoop. !”

Tang Yin looked up and smiled, nodded and said, "Okay! Just as General Ziying sees it!"

Ziying stood up, stepped in and saluted Tang Yin, and said, "General, I will personally lead the troops there right now."

"General Ziying, be more careful."

"Don't worry, sir." As he spoke, Ziying took the generals of the Sky Eagle Army and walked out.

After Ziying left, Tang Yin said to Qiu Yue: "Master Qiu, I have more than 10,000 cavalry brothers under my command who want to live in the city. You can make arrangements for them."

"Yes, yes, yes!" At this time, Qiu Yue was finally able to interject. He nodded repeatedly and responded: "I will send someone to clean up the barracks right away." As he spoke, he waved to the officials below. , order them to do it immediately.

Then Tang Yin said: "I will stay in the hotel tonight, Master Qiu, help me prepare a few more rooms."

"Yes, yes, yes! Oh... Mr. Tang, the conditions of the hotel are really bad. I think Mr. Tang and the generals are still living in Xiaguan's house. Xiaguan will live in the hotel." Qiu Yue flattered him. said.

Tang Yin laughed and said, "I appreciate Mr. Qiu's kindness. It doesn't have to be so troublesome. During marches and wars, it's common to eat and sleep in the open. It's great to live in a hotel."

Qiu Yue did not give up and continued to persuade him to stay, but Tang Yin still politely refused. Seeing that he insisted on staying in the hotel, Qiu Yue had no choice but to ask someone to go to the hotel first, clean up the place, and clear out the rest of the people. .

After sitting at Qiu Yue's house for a while, Tang Yin and his subordinates will be accompanied by Qiu Yue to the hotel.

It was already late at night, but there was no curfew in Jian City, and pedestrians could still be seen on the streets from time to time.

Many people had heard the news that Tang Yin commanded the Tianyuan Army to enter the city. They stopped on both sides of the street and saw Tang Yin and others going to the hotel. The people pointed and guessed who Tang Yin was among them.

Now Tang Yin's reputation has spread to every corner of the Feng Kingdom. It can be said that no one who is a Feng person does not know his name. The people in Jiancheng were also very curious about Tang Yin and wanted to see what he looked like.

There are more and more people watching on the streets, and they are decorated with lights and colorful lights, as if it is a festival. For the common people, the Fengjun's entry into the city is indeed no different from celebrating a festival. No one wants to be the so-called Peng people. On the surface, the people dare not say anything, but privately they do not recognize Peng country at all and still regard themselves as Feng people. Now that the Feng army has entered the city, it undoubtedly means that Jian City has returned to Feng rule. , the people were naturally overjoyed and happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Because Tang Yin and Qiu Yue were walking side by side on horseback, walking in front, and the other generals were following behind. Although the common people had never seen him and felt that this young man looked a bit too young, they still identified him as Make a rough guess.

As Tang Yinzheng and Qiu Yue walked forward, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd in front of them. Two old men squeezed out from the crowd. They looked up at Tang Yin on the horse, both bowed and saluted, and said, "Master Tang, I'm here to greet you."

Qiu Yue was startled. She didn't know what the two old men were doing who suddenly appeared. He turned around quickly and shouted to the accompanying guards: "Quick, quick, quick! Go and kill these two old men." The old guy with eyes pulled away, don't block the way of the adults."

Tang Yin was not as nervous as he was. He waved his hand and smiled at Qiu Yue to signal him to calm down. Then he leaned down on his horse and asked kindly: "Are these two old people..."

Before he finished speaking, a few more old men squeezed out from the crowd. Although these people were all dressed in old clothes and aged, with gray beards, they all had swords hanging on their waists, and their eyes were brighter and more energetic. God also looks much richer than an old man of the same age.

One of the old men bowed and said: "We are all retired veterans of the Central Army. We heard that Mr. Tang led the Feng Army into the city, and we came here specifically to pay homage to Mr. Tang!" As he spoke, several old men raised their hands again, respectfully. Kneel down and give a great gift.

ah! It turned out to be a retired veteran! When Tang Yin heard this, he was filled with respect. What he likes most are soldiers and generals, and he respects even retired veterans.

He couldn't sit still on the horse, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, helped several old men up one by one, and at the same time returned the courtesy politely, and said seriously: "You old people are Fengjun, and I am Dafeng." I really can’t bear your great gift.”

Tang Yin's move moved several old men deeply, and also made the people around him feel heartbroken. What is Tang Yin's identity? Although he is only the head of the county in name, he actually controls the overall situation of Feng Kingdom. His courtesy towards retired veterans is far inferior to that of even a mere city lord like Qiu Yue. The common people have never seen such a high-ranking official who loves the soldiers and the people. , it is unheard of, so how can it not make the people respect it?

"Master Tang, we also have a greeting for you!"

Tang Yin helped several veterans up, but the people on both sides knelt down in large numbers.
