Chapter 77 Situation
Green Forest Valley.
Lin Chen looked calm, his eyes moving over the many shadowy figures in the valley.
This was the content of the deal that Lin Shiyin mentioned.
"Sir, the Money Gang, together with several gentry in Chicang County, want to harm you." Lin Shiyin tried to make her voice sound calmer.
As early as that day when she overheard the conversation between her father and Li Xi, she had this idea in her mind.
Lin Shiyin pawned all the jewelry left to her by her mother for money, and spent a lot of money to hire many martial artists before she found the traces of the Wang family and the Money Gang.
"Money Gang?"
Lin Chen silently repeated these three words in his heart.
If it goes as expected, this gang was originally a background force in Li Xunhuan's story.
The Money Gang in the book is the largest force in the entire martial arts world.
However, in this comprehensive martial arts world, the Money Gang is not well-known.
"Sir! I'll go and get rid of this gang of bad guys!" Yang Wulang was angry when he heard what Lin Shiyin just said.
There are about three or four hundred people in this valley.
It seems that they are planning to find an opportunity to ambush and kill Lin Chen on the road.
But from Lin Chen's point of view, most of these people are gentry guards, and a few are warriors from the Money Gang.
They want to take him down with such a lineup?
It's ridiculous!
"Okay."
Lin Chen brought about thirty personal guards and five hundred infantrymen with him.
Let Yang Wulang lead these people and horses to fight, and this group of people will most likely not escape.
"Yes!" Hearing this, Yang Wulang immediately bowed and accepted the order.
Watching Lin Chen, who was walking away with Yang Wulang, he looked back at Lin Shiyin beside him thoughtfully.
"Miss Lin, what do you want from this deal with this general?"
"I just want to serve the general." Lin Shiyin said, with a hint of embarrassment on her cheek, and her fingers stirring, she seemed very uneasy.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.
Seeing Lin Shiyin like this, has she made up her mind to escape from the Lin family?
In that case.
Lin Chen agreed under Lin Shiyin's slightly nervous gaze.
Seeing this, she just breathed a sigh of relief.
If she really had to be married off as a commodity, why not choose someone she thinks is not bad?
"Kill!"
Not long after.
A shout of killing rang out in the valley.
Hearing the sound, Lin Chen looked towards the valley.
Yang Wulang rushed to the front with his long spear in his hand, stabbing left and right, and no one could match him.
Obviously.
The money gang and the gentry guards who planned to ambush Lin Chen did not expect to be discovered.
The reason they chose this valley was because it was hidden and not many people came.
Unfortunately.
The valley opened outward, and the three sides inside were cliffs.
Now it's good.
Yang Wulang ordered his soldiers to block the exit, and became a turtle in a jar.
About half an incense stick later.
These warriors and guards of the money gang who couldn't stand it chose to surrender.
Lin Chen looked at the panic-stricken guards, and a hint of coldness appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Originally, Chicang County had settled many hungry people because of the work-for-relief policy.
There was little money left from the confiscated silver from Song Jie and Zhang's family.
As for the seeds just planted in the fields, it would take several months to harvest.
Now I am worried about how to solve the livelihood of the hungry people during this period.
Now, with the assets of these gentry who participated in the ambush and murder of court officials, Chicang County will definitely be able to survive these months.
House seizure, house seizure!
On the same day.
Several major gentry headed by Wang Zhi were confiscated for the crime of ambush and murder of court officials and collusion with the White Lotus thieves.
"General Lin, these grain money can solve the urgent needs of Chicang County."
Li Xunhuan looked at the grain money that was about to fill up the government storehouse, and his face was full of smiles.
At the same time, he had a little more respect for Lin Chen.
"Brother Li, I will leave tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Li Xunhuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Well, I have spent too much time in Chicang County." Lin Chen nodded slightly.
"In that case, I wish Brother Lin a triumphant return." Li Xunhuan said, walked to Lin Chen, lowered his voice and reminded, "General Lin, the Jinqian Gang has accepted the commission to ambush and kill you, so they will never give up so easily!"
Otherwise.
Where will the face of the only two killer organizations in the other side be placed?
"The leader of the Jinqian Gang, although unknown in the world, is not an ordinary person!"
Immediately, Li Xunhuan also talked about some rumors about the leader of the Jinqian Gang.
A few years ago, the head of a second-rate sect of the righteous way went out and died unclearly.
It is said that it was the hands of the Jinqian Gang.
The head of the martial arts cultivation realm is extraordinary, and he is also a good player among the acquired martial artists.
Li Xunhuan hopes that Lin Chen will not underestimate the Jinqian Gang.
Lin Chen heard this and nodded in understanding.
The next day
Lin Chen led his army out of Chicang County, and the local people saw him off for ten miles.
For these ordinary people, it was clear who gave them the chance to survive.
"General Lin is back in camp!"
"The general is back in camp!"
The imperial camp, which was facing Xianping City, was particularly lively today.
For ordinary soldiers, Lin Chen was their backbone.
The first thing Lin Chen did when he returned to the camp was to beat the drum to gather the generals.
Yang Zhi, Wei Cheng and other lieutenants came upon hearing the news.
"Meet General Lin!"
In the military tent, Yang Zhi and others saw the ghost-faced general sitting on top, and immediately saluted respectfully.
Seeing this, Lin Chen waved his hand to signal them to stand up.
"First, let me tell you about the movements of the White Lotus thieves in Xianping City during this period when the general was away."
"Reporting to the general, the White Lotus thieves have not made any unusual movements recently and have not left the city to challenge."
Yes.
This White Lotus thief is like a turtle hiding in Xianping City, not paying attention to the outside world.
But he didn't expect that.
The imperial army under Lin Chen's command did not rush to besiege the city, but confronted.
In this strange atmosphere, the two sides were deadlocked for almost six days.
"Is that so?" Lin Chen's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
It seems that his speculation on the White Lotus plan is roughly correct.
The White Lotus is hiding and avoiding fighting, just waiting for something.
What the White Lotus doesn't know is that Lin Chen is actually waiting, waiting for his secret big move.
But now, the show has to be done in full.
"Yang Zhi, Wei Cheng!"
"I'm here!"
"I order you two to lead your troops to the city to challenge and provoke!"
"Yes!"
The imperial army, which had been silent for a long time, finally made a move because of Lin Chen's return.
About 8,000 troops, led by Yang Zhi and Wei Cheng, left the camp and headed for the city of Xianping.
The soldiers who had been eating and drinking well and practicing martial arts during this period were no longer the new recruits who left Beijing.
Sure enough.
After the imperial army took action, Xianping City also took action.
The high-ranking members of the White Lotus Sect in the city, including Zhao Hufa, gathered on the city wall to observe the imperial army outside the city.
"Hiss!"
Some people looked at the momentum of the imperial army outside the city and couldn't help but take a breath.
"Humph!" Only Zhao Hufa snorted with disdain.
"In front of the military formation, these imperial troops are just chickens and dogs."
Everyone present had different expressions when they heard this.
Some people smiled apologetically, some agreed with it, but most of them had unhappy expressions in their eyes.
