Chapter 612

Tang Yin returned to the county capital under the strict protection of many guards. In order to thank Yuan Fang for his help, he was assigned the position of military counselor. Read the full text. The official position is not high, but as a close minister around Tang Yin, he has the opportunity to report directly. If he is really capable, he will not worry about having no room for development.

After calming down, Tang Yin carefully thought about what happened today. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He traveled in secret and disguised himself. But how did the other party know his whereabouts? There was only one explanation. There was someone with someone in the county capital. A spy colluded with assassins. However, it is too difficult to find this spy. Except for the guards, most of the people in the county capital are from Ning. Everyone including the county leader Wang Kai is suspected. If we investigate carefully, we still don’t know how to investigate. Until when.

Tang Yin asked Yuan Fang who had just defected to him: "Mr. Yuan Fang, don't you think it's strange that that exquisite girl knows the whereabouts of this king?"

Yuan Fang smiled and said: "This is not surprising. Your Majesty has always lived in the county capital, but in the county capital, from the head of the county to the servants, maids and even the cooks in the kitchen, all are Ningren, as long as one of them has a heart. If you don’t think so, the king’s whereabouts will be grasped by Miss Linglong.”

What he said was exactly what Tang Yin was thinking about. Tang Yin asked: "In Mr. Yuan Fang's opinion, who is the most suspicious?"

Yuan Fang didn't even think about it and said bluntly: "The county chief, the king, is the most suspicious."

If analyzed according to common sense, Wang Kai is indeed the most suspicious, but Tang Yin traveled in secret. Wang Kai did not know about it. It is more likely that the servant below saw it and reported it to Miss Linglong secretly. Tang Yin nodded and said with a smile: "I understand. Mr. Yuan Fang came out and wanted to know about our situation first." As he spoke, he called two guards over and asked them to take Yuan Fang around the county capital. Turn around and get to know your own generals.

Not long after Yuan Fang left, Letian and Ai Jia arrived. With nervous expressions on their faces, they quickly walked up to Tang Yin and asked, "I heard that the king was attacked, what's going on?"

Tang Yin was amused, glanced at Letian and Ai Jia with raised eyebrows, and said, "You two, you two are collecting intelligence, and you came to ask me what's going on. I should ask you two, right?"

Lotte and Ai Jia both had red faces. They had already set up a large number of informants in Qingyuan City, and they also knew that a large number of Ningguo rangers were gathering in Qingyuan, but they did not hear any news about the assassination of Tang Yin. The two of them looked at each other, knelt down and said, "This will be detrimental to the collection of relevant intelligence. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Tang Yin clicked his tongue, waved his hands, and muttered in annoyance: "Get up, man, there is gold under your knees, don't just kneel here and there." While speaking, he paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back and his head lowered. After walking for a while, he turned around and asked: "Lotte, Ai Jia, have you ever heard of the Linglong Sect in Ningguo? It seems to be a Ranger gang."

Letian and Ai Jia were both stunned, then nodded and said, "Of course I have heard of it. What? Your Majesty, do you think this matter has something to do with Linglong Sect?"

Tang Yin shook his head and said: "It's not that I think it is, but that I am sure. The assassination of Ningguo Ranger on me this time was due to the order from the master of Linglong Sect."

ah! Letian and Aijia took a breath, then fell into deep thought and murmured: "If this is the case, things will be in trouble."

Tang Yin looked at the two of them strangely, and asked with a smile: "How troublesome is it? Is this Linglong Gate scarier than the Divine Pond?"

Letian said sternly: "Shenchi and Linglong Sect are incomparable. After all, Shenchi is a vassal state. They have to take into account their face and reputation when doing things, and have many concerns. However, Linglong Sect is just an ordinary sect, and it is very mysterious. There is no fear in doing things. , you can do whatever you want, and that’s why the general said it’s troublesome.”

kindness! This kind of secret gang organization is really hard to guard against. Tang Yin nodded and said, "Tell me, what's so great about Linglong Sect?"

Lotte said: "There is nothing wrong with Linglong Sect, but the sect leader is very scary. It is said that the masters of Linglong Sect in the past have mastered the secret skill of Lingwu - random transformation. This Lingwu can not only change a person's appearance, but also his body shape and even gender. , ever-changing, unpredictable, and similar to the King's shadow clone, oh, or rather...even better."

Tang Yin's shadow clone can be ever-changing, but it has limitations. First of all, the shadow clone is not a physical body, but a virtual body condensed by spiritual energy. It cannot escape the prying eyes of insight. Secondly, the changes of the shadow clone are limited to the burning of the soul after death. The objects under it, that is to say, the objects that the shadow clone can transform are all dead except Tang Yin himself. But random changes are different. They are changes in the spiritual cultivator's own form and are not subject to any restrictions.

After listening to Letian's story, Tang Yin was also shocked. He frowned and said in disbelief: "Such a skill still exists? Why have I never heard of it?"

Lotte sighed and said: "The study of Lingwu is extensive and profound, especially the light-type Lingwu. There are many people who have learned it, many of whom are unparalleled geniuses, who have made many innovations. There are countless branches and branches, and there are many kinds of unique skills. Random changes have always been a problem. It is a single lineage of Linglong Sect. It is said that even Shenchi wants to master this skill, but to no avail. "

Tang Yin blinked, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said in shock: "In this case, doesn't that Linglong girl can become whoever she wants? She may even be hiding in the county capital?"

Although it is incredible, Lotte has to admit that this is true. He nodded and said, "That's right. If the assassin is really under the command of the Linglong Sect, then no one around the king can be trusted, because he is most likely to be the transformation of the Linglong girl, including me and General Ai Inside.”

call! Tang Yin squinted his eyes and let out a sigh. If this was the case, things would be really troublesome. No matter how good Linglong's cultivation was, her random change would be too scary. He clenched his fists and said in a solemn voice: "This exquisite girl must be found out. If she is not removed, I will feel uneasy."

Lotte's face straightened, he raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that this matter will be investigated closely."

Now Tang Yin was regretting it. The woman in white he met outside the tavern was probably Miss Linglong. If he had known that this person was so troublesome, he would have had to get rid of her even if he risked his life! It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. No matter how much Tang Yin sighs, it will not help.

The Ningguo Rangers jointly attempted to assassinate Tang Yin but failed, but Tang Yin felt a big weight on his heart. He was full of worries about the hidden dangers that might exist around him, and at the same time he felt powerless.

The next day, Tang Yin set off, leaving Qingyuan and heading straight to his camp in Zhanghe. Now the recruitment of Pingyuan Army, Sanshui Army, Tianying Army and Directly Affiliated Army has come to an end. In three days, the four armies have recruited more than 20,000 new soldiers, but most of them are recruited by Pingyuan Army.

With more than 10,000 troops added recently, Xiao Muqing was naturally very happy, but his happiness did not last long. After Tang Yin entered his own camp, the first thing he did was to gather all the new soldiers, re-establish an army, and name it the New Army. Then he transferred troops from the Fourth Army and filled them into the New Army, so that the strength of the New Army reached 30,000. , and then appointed Guan Tang, the general of the Pingyuan Army, as the commander-in-chief of the new army.

There are only 30,000 people in the new army, and there are only three corps, which are far from reaching the level of a legion. Guan Tang is also a man of mediocre ability. The only thing that Tang Yin values ​​​​is that he is loyal to him and has no problem with his loyalty. Tang Yin established the new army. To put it bluntly, he wanted the new army to be cannon fodder. It would be at the forefront during the war and help his own main army. Even if there were losses, most of the dead would be Ning people, which would have little impact on his own military strength. .

After dealing with the matter of the new army, Tang Yin summoned the generals to discuss the battle across the river.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying are all not optimistic about the prospects of the Zhanghe Battle. When Tang Yin mentioned the battle across the river, Ziying stood up directly, raised his hands to Tang Yin and said: "Your Majesty , please go out and take a look.”

Tang Yin didn't know what kind of medicine Ziying was selling in the gourd, so he followed Ziying out of the tent out of curiosity, and everyone else hurriedly followed. Ziying didn't go far, she came to a watchtower and stood there. She turned around and said to Tang Yin, "Your Majesty, please go up and take a look."

Shaking his head helplessly, Tang Yin patiently climbed to the top of the watchtower, raised his eyes and looked towards the river, but saw nothing. When Ziying came up, he asked: "Ziying, what did you want me to see?"

Ziying pointed to the opposite side of the Zhang River and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Tang Yin looked around and saw that on the other side of the Zhang River, apart from the Ning Army camp, there were only some warships parked and nothing else. He frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Ziying, if you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush."

Ziying took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, the ships of Ning's army are all warships. Not only are they tall and large, but they are also covered with iron sheets. However, our ships are just small boats and rafts. Our army took these to cross the Zhang River. What should we do if the other side takes the initiative to attack the warships? If the boats and rafts collide with the warships, they will undoubtedly hit the rocks with eggs. They don't need to attack. They can just drive the warships and overturn all our boats and rafts. I don’t know who will die in the belly of the fish, so Sir Wanwang thinks twice before attacking hastily!”

Yo! Tang Yin really hadn't considered this. After hearing what Ziying said, he was startled and carefully looked at the boats parked on the other side. As Ziying said, Ning Jun's warships are all tall and big. They are generally divided into three layers, upper and lower. They are huge in shape and have iron sheets inlaid under the hull. Such a huge thing crashes directly on the water. What we have collected Those civilian boats and improvised rafts were indeed overwhelming.
