Fast travel: The host is too crazy to shoot, the system can't stop it

Chapter 103 Ancient (31) Praying Mantis Catch Cicada

The attendant didn't expect the man to say Yan Nanxu's name as soon as he opened his mouth.

You must know that now Yan Nanxu is a key criminal wanted by the court, whoever dares to hide the key criminal will be a capital crime!

"No, no... no..." The attendant was terrified and denied it.

The guard next to him suddenly punched him in the face, and the guard wailed, and a few teeth were knocked out!

"Did I let you talk? You just nod and shake your head."

The attendant fought back the pain and shook his head again and again.

"No? Are you sure you're not? I'll give you another chance."

Seeing Yan Jin's cold eyes, the attendant paused for a moment, but did not answer immediately. At this moment, the guard next to him slashed down, cutting off the attendant's arm!

"Ahhhh!" The attendant rolled on the ground in pain, blood was all over his body, and the whole ground was stained red.

The guard quickly suppressed the attendant again, and Yan Jin asked again: "Is it Yan Nanxu's? I don't want to ask again."

The attendant was going crazy, his mind was blank now, he only knew that he wanted to live, so he nodded and admitted.

"Okay, now you can talk, tell me, where and when did you see him?"

The attendant opened his mouth tremblingly, and said inarticulately: "Yes, Xiyuan in the mansion, he came to the mansion the day before yesterday... I don't know anything else, I don't know... Please forgive me ..."

the day before yesterday?It actually matched what Gao Tong said, if the person sitting in the other carriage was Yan Nanxu, then what would be in the box that Lin Cheng was holding?
Yan Jin had a faint guess in his heart, and then asked: "Did your master Lin Cheng bring back anything the day before yesterday?"

The remaining rationality of the attendant made him shake his head subconsciously. If he let others know about the existence of Yuxi, it would be a real crime of treason.

However, Yan Jin didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and asked directly: "Is the thing he brought back the Jade Seal of the Kingdom?"

The attendant was confused. How could the man in front of him know everything?why?He didn't dare to reply, and just stared at Yanjin with his eyes widened and pleading.

Yan Jin nodded, "It seems I'm right."

This Lincheng was really ready to rebel, and sure enough, he knew that this person could not be kept, and originally wanted to weaken some of his troops before attacking, but this guy couldn't wait for himself!

"How many troops are there in Lincheng in the capital?" Yanjin asked the guard with a sideways glance.

"Returning to the emperor, it accounts for about [-]% of the total force, mainly in the palace, and some are near the city gate, and the rest are in the Lincheng mansion."

Lin Cheng's mansion is not far from the imperial palace, if the two forces converge, it will be a bit troublesome to match up.

Yan Jin was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Secretly mobilize some troops to trap the subordinates on the side of the Lincheng Imperial Palace, and leave the ones on the other side of the city gate for the time being, pay attention to the Lincheng Mansion, and be ready to encircle them at any time."

"Your Majesty, isn't it too early to act now?"

"If we take a slow step, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is better to prepare early."

The guard took the order and went to work immediately.

Yan Jin walked a few steps and was about to leave the pawnshop, when he suddenly thought of something, turned around and ordered casually: "Kill this one, just clean it up."

Then, ignoring the begging and wailing voices behind him, he walked straight out of the pawnshop.

It is really difficult for Lin Cheng not to get rid of Yanjin, but this is not the best time, the frontier war has just stopped, Yanjin actually does not want to fight again, but if Lin Cheng takes action...he will never hesitate.

In another courtyard outside the capital, Shen Linxi came to report the situation to Yanze, "Your Highness, there is something going on in the capital."

"Well, it's almost there, the fish has surfaced, it's time to collect the net."

Yan Ze handed the written letter to the boy servant and asked him to send it to the capital immediately.

Shen Linxi looked at the boy servant who was walking away quickly, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, if we are like this, the prince..."

Yan Ze waved his hand, interrupted him, and said softly: "Everything is going according to plan, all we have to do is to complete the task, don't think about anything else."

"……Yes."

The plan has been made long ago, and there is absolutely no reason to turn back.

The boy servant did not contact Lin Cheng with the letter. Yan Ze guessed that Lin Cheng was already under strict monitoring, so he asked the boy servant to go to one of the civil servants who had come to meet before.

There was no serious threat from the civil servants, Yanjin didn't take it very seriously, and the boy servant left immediately after delivering the letter quietly.

The civil official glanced at the content roughly, was startled, and then secretly contacted the people who had met before, and went to the Lincheng Mansion together──
According to the letter, Yan Ze's personal soldiers have been deployed, and they will move tonight, so I would like to inform you adults.

Those civil servants didn't know that Lin Cheng was already being targeted by Yanjin, so they blatantly found him in the mansion.

Yan Jin looked at those people, all of whom were on the previous list, and secretly wondered: Did they act so quickly?

"Notify everyone to prepare, and immediately surround the Lin residence as soon as there is an order."

The deployment of troops has been secretly mobilized, the atmosphere is gradually becoming anxious, and a big battle is ready to go.

Time passed slowly, the night gradually fell, and it was almost time for the curfew. There were not many pedestrians on the street, and it became empty.

At this time, the closed door of the Lin Mansion suddenly opened from the inside, a soldier came out to look around, and then Lin Cheng walked out with a group of people.

Lin Cheng has already read Yan Ze's letter carefully. His specific plan is more or less sloppy, and he feels that it is not enough to deal with Yan Jin. However, Lin Cheng only hopes that he will consume Yan Jin's troops. When they both lose, he will play when.

Therefore, Lin Cheng had to go to the palace first to deploy personnel to make sure everything was safe.

However, as soon as Lin Cheng stepped out of the mansion, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared in all directions, and quickly surrounded the mansion!

"General Lin, there's a curfew here, where are you going?" Yan Jin walked out of the soldiers slowly and confronted Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng never expected that Yanjin would be here!His face became ugly, but he still tried his best to pretend, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"Then where do you think I should be?"

"I dare not..."

Yan Jin snorted coldly, "Do you still dare? Then do you dare to let me look for it, what is hidden in your mansion?"

Lin Cheng knew something was wrong, so he took a step back, and the guards around him immediately stepped forward to take a defensive posture.

This move can be regarded as disrespectful to the emperor, Yan Jin looked at them and said in a deep voice, "Lin Cheng, are you going to rebel?"

Lin Cheng quickly considered various advantages and disadvantages in his mind. It stands to reason that Yanze's people have already ambushed near the palace, and he may not be able to reap the benefits of being a fisherman when he confronts Yanjin now, but if Yanze succeeds, he can still Go ask for credit and ask for a reward, not to mention—at this point, Yanjin will never let him go!

At this moment, a rain of arrows came from nowhere, and several of the guards around Lin Cheng were killed by the arrows!

Yanjin is really not going to give him any leeway!
Lin Cheng made a decisive decision and retreated to the mansion. All the soldiers in the mansion resisted the troops of Yanjin together, and released sky lanterns as a signal to let a large number of subordinates in the palace come to help immediately!
Wang Jian, the deputy general of the Habayashi Army on duty in the palace, received the signal, and immediately summoned his troops to rush to the Lin Mansion, but on the way, he bumped into the soldiers that Yanjin had arranged for. Go to war!
The Lin Mansion was in chaos, and there were not many soldiers in the mansion. Fortunately, they were all elite soldiers, who could still resist Yanjin for a while, but Lin Cheng knew that the fight between trapped beasts was meaningless and he had to find a way out.

The people inside started to form formations and let out a rain of arrows, repelling the front row of officers and soldiers. There were heavily armed guards standing under the fence. If you jumped in rashly from the fence, you would be stabbed into a sieve.

Yanjin ordered the soldiers to get the gunpowder and blow open the front door!The flying arrows are all lit on fire, and the people inside will come out by themselves!
"General Lin! What about General Lin!? Why hasn't the reinforcements arrived yet? Where's the troops from the palace? Where's the third prince's people??" The civil officials who came here turned pale with fright when they heard the sound of fighting outside.

Lin Cheng's complexion is also not good. Anyway, the troops from the imperial palace should arrive. Could it be that they were discovered and intercepted long ago?And Yan Ze, that guy, who is he talking about?The light from the fire in this place reflected half of the sky, but don't say he couldn't see it! !
As long as Yan Ze is in the capital, he will definitely be able to see it!But now, he didn't move at all! !
Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, Lin Cheng thought of something—maybe Yan Ze is not in the capital at all...

However, the next moment, a violent explosion hit, shaking the whole ground!
"General—the people outside directly blasted the gate with explosives!" The guard ran over and reported, "The army has come in!"

"Resist for a while, and transfer all the people to the front door over there!"

The Lin Mansion is huge, and people outside are not familiar with the terrain so they won't be able to find their way immediately.

As soon as Lin Cheng finished speaking, another guard ran over and shouted, "General, there are also fighting sounds on the other side of the palace. The deputy general probably met the people over there!"

A flying arrow passed through the window and shot directly at the guard's head, and the guard died instantly. The sound of fighting came to the front, and the flames gradually brightened.

A soldier was slashed and kicked into the room—the first wave of troops has arrived here!
Lin Cheng grabbed the long knife and hacked to death several officers and soldiers who rushed over, regardless of the life or death of those civil servants, and commanded the remnants to retreat while beating.

After all, Lin Cheng is a general, with strong martial arts skills and outstanding leadership ability. He quickly dealt with the first wave of people who invaded here. He hurriedly picked up the wooden box containing the jade seal and summoned the remaining guards.

"General, let's go out through the secret door and run to the city gate. Our people are still near the city gate!"

Lin Cheng was already covered in blood, and there was a knife wound on his face. He looked sinister and terrifying. His eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Go to Xiyuan first, I'm going to Xiyuan, and find someone to settle the score!"

It's really a big joke, he Lin Cheng thought he was the oriole in the back, but he was put together, and he became the "cicada" who was arrested!
