After wearing the book, he was favored by the villains in line

When Duan Wang realized that the development of the matter was beyond his control, it was already the third day that Ren Heng led his troops out of the city.

Many of the bandit soldiers he placed in the waterways of Huai'an and Yangzhou lost contact.

It’s okay if there are two places in one place. After all, it’s impossible for Ren Heng to be incompetent. He only went to kill those empty villages he specially arranged for Ren Heng according to the water bandit information given by the Huai’an city defenders.

But more than half of the strongholds lost contact, and two villages even sent letters for help, which was far beyond Duan Wang's expectations.

In Duan Wang's mansion, looking at the water road map of the two cities marked in red in front of him, Duan Wang's expression turned extremely ugly.

He swept all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk to the ground, and said angrily:

"What about Yan Rong? Didn't he say that he knew Ren Heng's whereabouts like the back of his hand? Why did he not notice Ren Heng's sweeping up like this? Trash!"

Yan Rong is the commander of the Huai'an City garrison. It stands to reason that if Ren Heng went to suppress the bandits, the Huai'an City garrison should also participate, but Ren Heng is also ruthless.

He didn't give Yan Rong any chance to learn their specific route. On the one hand, he excused that the Huai'an guards had to shoulder the responsibility of guarding Huai'an city, so he didn't take the Huai'an army with him at all, just to make King Duan relax his vigilance Yan Rong himself.

——Then not long after they set off, they were beaten with a sap, and special personnel were sent to watch over them every step of the way. At this moment, they were still tied up by the five flowers, and they were sleeping in the bilge of the warship.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the deputy commander at the side hurried over to comfort him:

"Perhaps they lost contact because they were suppressed by Ren Hengqing. What if they cut off the news because they were afraid of being discovered by Ren Heng, and then there is no news for the time being. Maybe they will recover in a few days?"

However, Wang Duan's ugly complexion did not improve at all, on the contrary, it became even uglier. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Prepare the car, this king is going to Rongxue Pavilion."

The vice-commander was taken aback when he heard this place, then immediately understood, bowed his head and said in response:

"Your subordinate will prepare now."

As he said that, he wanted to go down, but was stopped by King Duan:

"and many more!"

The deputy commander stopped in confusion, lowered his head and asked:

"My lord, what else do you want?"

Duan Wang didn't answer, but looked at him silently, his eyes were deep, and there was suspicion in his eyes. After a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and said:

"You don't have to go this time, Lin Yao, you go with me."

Standing aside, Lin Yao bowed expressionlessly, and walked out after King Duan, leaving the deputy commander behind them with a shocked face.

You know, every time King Duan went to Rongxue Pavilion, he brought the deputy commander with him. This is the first time that the deputy commander was left behind, and Lin Yao, who was not familiar with the process, went instead.

No matter how slow the deputy commander was, he was able to react. King Duan seemed to be suspicious of himself. The water bandits between Yangzhou and Huai'an were extremely hidden, especially those who didn't know the truth about King Duan's use of bandits to raise soldiers. So many strongholds were successfully found in such a short period of time.

Duan Wang clearly suspects that there is an inner ghost in his subordinates, and the deputy commander who has always been glib and flattering, who often uses his convenience to pursue fame and fortune, has become the primary suspect.

In contrast, King Duan is of course more willing to believe that he has never intervened in the matter of raising soldiers. For more than ten years, the wood has generally been ignorant, and only knows Lin Yao who fulfills the duty of protecting King Duan.

It was also the first time for Lin Yao to accompany King Duan to the so-called Xiangxu Pavilion. Since then, King Qianqian had left him in the mansion and brought the deputy commander to this place alone, but at this moment he is still as usual, without asking a single extra word .

Duan Wang was very satisfied with this, and even took the initiative to say:

"Don't you wonder what this king is going to do in Xiangxu Pavilion?"

Lin Yao replied:

"I'm not curious, the subordinates are only curious about whether they can do well what the prince ordered."

Upon hearing this, King Duan sighed:

"I think this king has worked so hard for so many years, but there is only you as an elm lump by his side. He seems to be ignorant, but he is actually loyal and kind. It's a pity that good things take time. If you woke up a few years ago, you don't have to waste these years, but don't worry. , when this king becomes prosperous in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly!"

This is a hint to Lin Yao that he has started drawing cakes to win over.

Lin Yao, who had known the truth for a long time, quietly flashed a burning hatred in his eyes, but his face remained calm, and he answered in a low voice.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the so-called Rongxue Pavilion. King Duan kept everyone outside the building vigilantly, and only Lin Yao accompanied him. When he came to the last room, he stopped and told Lin Yao to say: :

"After a while, the king will go in, and you will guard the door. If you hear any movement inside, you will rush in immediately. If anyone wants to come in, you will block everyone outside, and not even a fly will be allowed in. Understand. ?"

Lin Yao bowed his head respectfully on the face, but in reality he was suspicious.

One must know that Huai'an City is the base camp of King Duan, so it is no exaggeration to say that King Duan is the pandilong here, but there is such a place that King Duan has to be cautious if he wants to enter.

He told Lin Yao to rush in as soon as he heard the sound, indicating that he knew that he might be in danger after going in, but he still wanted to go in. King Duan, who has always been timid and cautious, dared to take such a risk.

Lenovo Duan Wang learned that most of his Tibetan strongholds had been taken away by Ren Heng, so instead of calling his staff to think about countermeasures, he came to Rongxue Pavilion, which means that there must be a solution hidden inside, or... can help Duan Wang People who figure it out.

After King Duan walked into the room, Lin Yao leaned on the door deliberately, pretending to look around, but in fact he had already pricked up his ears, trying to listen to the movement inside.

Duan Wang didn't know that his seemingly loyal subordinates had actually turned against him long ago.

He was anxious, and after explaining to Lin Yao, he hurried into the room, only to see that the decoration of the room was extremely simple and elegant, amidst the rusticity, the screen with the snow scene of the Lake Pavilion in the center of the room was particularly eye-catching.

Seeing this screen, King Duan seemed to have seen hope, and he immediately calmed down a lot. He hurriedly sat in front of the screen, and respectfully saluted the person behind the screen:

"Say hello to the teacher, the disciple is stupid and unfortunately made a big mistake, please ask the teacher to save the disciple—"

Behind the screen, a chess piece landed crisply on the board, and an indifferent voice sounded:

"You mean, the 28 bandit camps you hid between Yangzhou and Huai'an Ercheng Waterway have been uprooted, and in a few hours, Ren Heng will be able to come to the city and bring you back to the capital to question your crimes? "

Duan Wang was startled:

"Didn't...all...all escape? Disciple...disciple thought..."

People behind the screen hate that iron cannot make steel:

"What do you think? You think you are extremely smart and know how to hide soldiers from bandits. Others must not be able to see your schemes? Stupid! I taught you to borrow bandits to raise soldiers, but you let your subordinates show themselves to others at will. If I hadn't got the news today, I would have I don't know that you are so ignorant of introversion, it's a waste of my efforts to pave the way for you!"
