Quick travel: I am bound by the longevity system

Chapter 254 Leading the tribe to survive in troubled times 17

"That's just wishful thinking." Lin Jiu snorted coldly, "Let's go to Linjia Village. I want to see what Zhao Qian wants to do."

Zhao Qian is Lin Jida's son-in-law. Now that Lin Jida has no son, Lin Jiu doesn't think Zhao Qian will allow Lin Jida to recognize a son and go back.

"Hey, who did I think looked so familiar? It turned out to be Mr. Zhao." Qi Mingjing and Lin Jiu bumped into Zhao Qian as soon as they arrived at the village. "Why, Mr. Zhao doesn't go to select girls for the government, but he is in the mood to come to me." This is an acre of land to hang out on.”

"Isn't the Sixth Young Master of Qi also at the guard station?" Zhao Qian replied.

"That's different. I am accompanying my wife back to my parents' home. I wonder what Mr. Zhao is doing here?"

"Find someone."

"Oh, I am familiar with Linjia Village. I wonder who Mr. Zhao is looking for."

"Lin Mao."

"This aerial shot will disappoint Mr. Zhao. There is no one like Lin Mao in Linjia Village." Lin Jiu pulled Qi Mingjing, "Let's go. Grandpa has been waiting for a long time."

"That may be because I made a mistake. Hey, Lin Mao was originally my father-in-law's eldest son, but his wife and children were robbed in his early years. Now I am in desolation. I have been thinking about this son in my heart, and I don't know what happened. Will we ever see each other again in our lifetime?"

Zhao Qian said while observing Lin Jiu's expression.

He had already found out that Lin Jiu was the granddaughter of Lin Jida's third brother. According to his father-in-law's speculation, the head of the Lin family was most likely to adopt Lin Mao to Lin Shuda.

"Oh, really? That's quite a pity." Lin Jiu looked sympathetic. As for the anger, joy, etc. that Zhao Qian expected, there was no expression at all.

"It seems that I really found the wrong place." Zhao Qian turned around in disappointment, and then showed a depressed figure to Lin Jiu and the others.

Zhao Qian's steps were very slow, as if he had been waiting for someone to call him. However, until he disappeared from the sight of Lin Jiu and the others, they did not hear anyone telling him to stop.

Lin Jiu watched Zhao Qian leave coldly, "Mingjing, I'm staying in Linjia Village these days."

"I'm with you."

"No, the wheat harvest will be in a few days. The drought is severe this year. There is no guarantee that people from Xixia and Liao will not come to grab grain. You have to guard the border."

There are two guard posts of Xixia and Liao opposite Xiping County. It would be fine if they were one-on-one, but if Xixia and Liao people join forces, Xiping County would be at a disadvantage.

"Then you should be more careful."

Lin Jiu lived in Linjia Village for seven days. Zhao Qian did not take any action during these seven days, but Lin Jiu did not relax at all. He did not think that Zhao Qian would let them go.

"Mo Hen, what's going on?" Lin Jiu heard the noise outside and immediately came out of the house, and then saw the fire in the direction of the guardhouse.

"Sixth Madam, the Xixia and Liao people wanted to pass through Lianhua Mountain to attack the county, but our secret sentry discovered that the Sixth Master led his troops to fight with them. The Sixth Master was worried that Zhao Qian and the others would take advantage of the chaos to attack Linjia Village, so he came here to let them go. I assist madam.”

"Xiaojiu, what happened?" Lin Boda also heard the noise outside and asked Lin Jiu quickly.

"Grandpa, it's too late to explain now, please tell everyone to hide in the tunnel." If Zhao Qian really wants to deal with the Lin family, tonight is undoubtedly the best time.

When Lin Boda heard this, he didn't ask any questions and quickly organized the villagers to go to the tunnel.

"Xiaojiu, pay attention to safety." Mother Lin looked at Lin Jiu with some worry.

"Don't worry, Mom, Mingjing has arranged for someone to protect me, and I will be fine."

After everyone got out of the tunnel, Lin Jiu asked Mo Hen to hide with others.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a group of people wearing Xixia costumes rushed into Linjia Village.

As soon as they entered the village, Mo Hen led people to surround the village.

Torches light up the entire village.

Lin Jiu looked at these people back to back and said, "Get them all for me."

"Yes."

These people looked at each other and raised their swords to chop at Lin Jiu. Lin Jiu took out the whip from his waist and struck the soldiers at their feet one by one.

When the soldier saw someone approaching, he immediately put the knife to their neck.

"Don't move."

The others were taken down, leaving only the leader looking at Lin Jiu timidly. She originally thought she was just a village girl, but she turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Seeing that the leader was defeated by Lin Jiu, Xu Huang was about to escape from Linjia Village with one shot.

Lin Jiu didn't rush when he saw someone running away, but followed him leisurely.

Then he saw the man fleeing into the post house where Zhao Qian lived.

"Chai Ling." Zhao Qian was originally waiting for news, but he never thought that after waiting for a long time, he would wait until Chai Ling came back alone.

"Uncle, I failed. That Qi Lin family is not simple..." Before the last word could be said, the leader named Chai Ling was killed by Lin Jiu.

"Here comes someone! There is an assassin..." Zhao Qian saw Lin Jiu and immediately panicked, "Qi Lin, assassinating an official of the imperial court is a serious crime against the nine clans."

"Your Majesty, what you said is really funny. Your Majesty was killed by a Liao assassin pretending to be from Xixia in the post house. He was also provoking a war between the Zhou Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom in order to reap the benefits. General Qi fought bravely to kill the enemy and recapture the Xixia Guards Station. Avenge your lord."

"My lord, go with peace of mind! I will kill a few more Xixia soldiers, and the Liao soldiers will clear the way for you in front, and I will find some more companions for you on the road to Huangquan."

After Lin Jiu finished speaking, a silver light flashed and Zhao Qian fell to the ground.

After confirming that Zhao Qian was completely dead, Lin Jiu walked out of the post house and returned to Linjia Village.

Early on the next morning, the battle at the guard station had ended. Just as Lin Jiu expected, the Xixia guard station was defeated by Qi Mingjing.

Yesterday, the city was also noisy, and the people in the city were also afraid that the Xixia and Liao people would come in. The people in the city were worried all night.

In the morning, Zhao Qian's body was discovered. In addition to Zhao Qian, two wealthy businessmen were also broken into by thieves. Fortunately, Li Mulang and his people arrived in time, so there were no casualties.

After the news of Zhao Qian's assassination by the Xixia people reached the capital, Prime Minister Lin did not investigate the cause of Zhao Qian's death. Instead, he acquiesced to the story submitted by Qi Xiuwen. The reason why Prime Minister Lin acquiesced was because Lin Jiu had someone give Lin Jida evidence that Zhao Qian had betrayed him. Lin Jida hated betrayal the most. Since he knew that Zhao Qian had betrayed him, how could he stand up for him.

Being exterminated by the Lin family has always been a worry for Lin Jida. He originally thought that as soon as he became successful, the Lin family would cry and beg him to go back. Originally, he wanted to use the military household thing to manipulate Lin Boda and get Lin Boda to agree to his return to the clan. However, he never thought that his eldest brother would rather the Lin family become a military household than to be manipulated by him.

"The imperial edict has arrived, Qi Mingjing will receive it!"

Qi Mingjing immediately knelt down after hearing this.

"The Emperor Chengyun summoned him, saying: Qi Mingjing, the son of the mighty general Qi Xiuwu, is brave and outstanding... He is specially named the fourth-grade Qingqi Captain, and this is his decree."

"Captain Qi, congratulations."
