At this time Xia Hong had already returned to Ying Chen's side, ignoring the other person in the room, walked up to Ying Chen, bowed and leaned into his ear: "Master, it's done."

After speaking, he glanced at Yan Zheng, then lowered his voice and briefly recounted his meeting with Fu Lin in his ear.

"Ah."

Ying Chen responded calmly, but there was still no trace of fluctuation in his eyes, which showed that this was within his expectation.

The matter is almost done, and the rest is up to him. Ying Chen turned to Yan Zheng: "Little General Yan, the time is almost up, let's go." Presumably they are about to break the line.

Although Yan Zheng was curious about what Xia Hong did when he went out just now, he had no intention of exploring other people's privacy for the time being. The formation in the peach forest walked.

"Wait." Ying Chen suddenly stopped him, seeing his dazed look when he was stopped, and said, "There is a secret way."

Yan Zheng: "..." You didn't say it earlier.

With Fu Lin's secret help, the pursued dark guard finally arrived at the hut, but at this time Ying Chen and his party had already entered the secret passage, leaving them empty-handed. The leader of the dark guard looked at the empty room and snorted coldly :"Search!"

There is only one way down the mountain, and he doesn't believe that they can disappear out of thin air.

After receiving the order, Fu Lin followed the crowd into the house and searched. He searched through a few ordinary items at random, and then arrived at the bedroom naturally.

Someone went to inform the leader, and soon a group of hidden guards gathered in front of the secret passage. The leader looked at the dark passage, sneered, full of confidence, pointed to the hole in front of which he couldn't see his fingers, and said ruthlessly: "Chasing, they can't escape."

"Yes." Fu Lin lowered his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Soon, everything is proceeding as expected, let you be proud again.

When the dark guard stepped into the dark passage, the three of Ying Chen hadn't reached the exit, and the dark passage in front stretched to nowhere.

"They're coming after them."

Unlike Yan Zheng's nervousness, Ying Chen still walked leisurely, but tapped lightly on the wall of the secret passage a few times with his fingers.There was a loud noise not far behind, and a huge stone fell, blocking the entire passage, and then the sound of some subtle mechanisms starting, presumably it could delay them for a while.

Yan Zheng was silent for a while and then returned to his normal state. He could see that this person's knowledge of organ formations was probably unmatched by few in the world.

Perhaps there was an agency blocking the footsteps of the secret guard, but he was not caught up and came out of the secret passage smoothly.

At the exit is a long-abandoned cottage in a small town at the foot of the mountain. Xia Hong looked around and asked them to wait a while before disappearing for a while. He did not know where to bring a few horses: "We have to hurry to the northern border. , the sooner the better."

Ying Chen raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything after all, turned over and got on the horse neatly, he looked like a man who had ridden a horse, not some unsophisticated son, Yan Zheng changed his opinion of him at this moment.

Ignoring Yan Zheng's psychology, Ying Chen looked at the secret passage exit behind him and gave Xia Hong a gesture.Xia Hong nodded, turned his horse's head and sprinkled some white powdery objects at the exit, and finally glanced at the dark tunnel, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, then put away the situation in his eyes, and rode his horse to follow them.

A few days later, after hurriedly driving them, they finally reached the northern border before dark. Under the leadership of Yan Zheng, the three of them rode their horses and stopped in front of the most luxurious restaurant in the town.

Although there are many people here, it is better than an unknown small inn, which is more reassuring. At least the restaurant is fine.

"This is already within the northern territory. We are safe for the time being. Let's rest here for one night and return to the barracks tomorrow. I will take you to see my father." Yan Zheng got off his horse and walked into the restaurant. Ying Chen followed suit. Following him into the building, Xia Hong stayed where he was.After Xiao Er led the horse to the backyard, he stepped forward to follow.

As soon as Yan Zheng stepped into the building, the waiter greeted him with a respectful attitude, making it impossible to find fault. Even Yan Zheng, a rough man, admired the owner of the restaurant.

Throw a piece of silver to him: "Little Er, come and go to the room with three."

Xiaoer quickly caught the money, but then he frowned, wondering: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that there are only a few rooms left. You see..."

When Yan Zheng was talking with Xiao Er, Ying Chen stood not far behind and watched them quietly, listening to everything they said.

His gaze stayed on the corner of the restaurant's plaque for a while, then he looked away, and his right hand behind his back moved. Xia Hong, who was just about to step in, was taken aback, and turned to go to the backyard of the restaurant.

In the lobby, Yan Zheng is still trying to negotiate, but the number of available rooms is indeed limited.Their business has always been very good, and it was not a coincidence that these masters came here. Not to mention the first room, even the other rooms could not be vacated for a while.Xiao Er couldn't do anything for a while, so the two stalemate for a while, Xiao Er just wanted to ask the steward, when he saw the steward coming out of the backyard, with a smile on his face, he turned away from them, blocked Xiao Er, and asked him to go and wait , arching his hands at Yan Zheng.

"I'm really sorry, please calm down." Without waiting for Yan Zheng to say anything, he waved to Xiao Er and said, "Xiao Er, take this master to Room No. arrange."

After speaking, the steward smiled at Yan Zheng again, with a promise in his mouth.

"My lord, don't worry, I will arrange this room, and I will definitely not let your friend be wronged."

Yan Zheng hesitated a little, didn't say whether to answer or not, but just looked at the steward.

Seeing that Yan Zheng was still hesitant, Ying Chen stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, walked around to face the manager with him.

Ying Chen glanced at the steward in front of him lightly, turned his head to meet Yan Zheng's gaze, calmly, Xia Hong who didn't know when he would come back stood behind him, and said: "Mr. Yan, go up first, next master and servant People are not the ones who suffer.”

The manager also smiled and quickly lowered his posture, and echoed: "Yes, yes, you can rest assured, young master."

Yan Zheng turned his head and glanced at Xia Hong who had a cold face aside, seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, he just let it go, but with a hint of agreement, he followed Xiaoer and went upstairs to his room.

After he closed the door, the remaining master and servant Ying Chen, led by the steward, went through the hidden passage to the third floor where the guests here had never seen anyone step on it.

Guarding the unusual third-floor corridor, the steward led Ying Chen's master and servant to the front without haste.Ying Chen, who was following him, did not show any changes on his face, and even Xia Hong did not move at all. He was even more relaxed than when he was in the hall, as if this was their home, and people could rest assured that they would be safe.

The steward led the two of them to the room at the end of the corridor and stopped. He pushed open the door and waited for them to enter. Instead of going out, he turned around and closed the door. Then he turned around neatly and saluted Ying Chen and the other two.

"This subordinate has met the master, Manager Xia."

"Get up." Ying Chen raised his hand slightly, sat down on the chair sideways, and looked at Lu Yueze, "Judging from today's situation, your northern border seems to be a bit uneasy, what's going on?"

Lu Yueze lowered his eyes, "Master, Zhaoshan has been attacking the border defenses a while ago. Although they were all taken back by General Yan, they still caused a little impact. Therefore, people in the northern city were panicked during this period."

Ying Chen stared at the pattern on the table, thoughtfully: "I already know about this matter, I have fought against them, it is nothing to be afraid of, but what happened to Fu Lin."

Calculating the time, if it goes well, Fu Lin's side should be about the same.

"According to the news from our people, the plan is going well. The group of shadow guards are chasing and killing the master. It didn't take long for the medicine to take effect. Our people followed your instructions and waited for the rabbit. All the shadow guards except Fu Lin and Fan Ke None of them left alive, and we only saved Fan Ke's life, but he was useless." Lu Yueze reported to him what happened after they left.

"After our people withdrew, the two of them returned to the capital in embarrassment. Fan Ke asked himself to remove his position as the leader of the dark guards. As his successor, Fu Lin has successfully replaced his position. It's just that the emperor doesn't seem to trust Fu Lin. .”

Speaking of this, Lu Yueze frowned slightly. The current emperor is incompetent but suspicious. It is not so easy for Fu Lin to gain trust. This is a trouble.

Ying Chen chuckled, looked at Lu Yueze's frown, and there was no trace of tension on his face, "What's the hurry, Fu Lin knows what to do, besides, the emperor has no one to use now, whether he believes it or not, whether he wants to use it or not, it's up to him .”

It was so easy to train people, even if he didn't want to, he had no choice but to choose Fu Lin.Besides, Fu Lin was being trained as a successor, and with Fan Ke's guarantee, it was only a matter of time before he gained trust.

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Hearing what Ying Chen said, Lu Yueze suddenly realized, "Master, how will the young general Yan who is with you arrange it?"

Hearing the subordinate's question, Ying Chen raised his hand and touched the jade flute on his waist, turned his head to look out the window, narrowed his eyes slightly, remained silent for a while, and said: "Don't worry too much, I will go with him tomorrow See this old general Yan guarding the northern border, his father will teach him."

Lu Yueze nodded: "Since this is the case, the master will take a rest here after a long journey. The master's room has always been cleaned by someone."

Ying Chen hummed, and waved to Xia Hong. Xia Hong slightly nodded, and made a subtle gesture to Lu Yueze, then he took the lead and walked out. Lu Yueze also followed after saluting to Ying Chen, and took the door.

Watching the door slowly close in front of him, Ying Chen rested his chin with one hand, the corners of his mouth curled up, it became more and more interesting, it seemed that it was coming soon.
