Attacking Yanshan
Lin Yi had no way to change his sister's attention, so he had no choice but to obediently prepare for Lin Yan to go into the mountains.
When everything was ready, Lin Yan sneaked into Yanshan alone.
Deep in Yanshan, looking at the foggy forest, Lin Yan raised his eyebrows: "There is poisonous fog."
Fortunately, he brought the detoxification pills given by Aning, and Lin Yan avoided the guards and entered the stronghold built by the bandits.
Knock out a guard and drag him to a corner.
When the guard regained consciousness, Lin Yan put the dagger against his neck and asked, "Where is the person we captured some time ago?"
“Who, I don’t know.”
"If you don't tell the truth, do you want to die?" Lin Yan drew a bloody mark on the guard's neck with the dagger.
"I really don't know, lady, please spare me. I'm just an ordinary guard. I don't know anything about who the boss has captured," said the guard, his body trembling.
Seeing that he really didn't know, Lin Yan asked again: "Where is your boss's residence, and where is the dungeon?"
"The boss lives in the house next to the peach tree in the east. I don't know where the dungeon is."
After getting the answer he wanted, Lin Yan gave the guard a sleeping pill, tied him up, threw him into the jar and covered it.
Then he walked towards the place the guard said.
He sneaked into the room of the boss mentioned by the guard, but found no one inside. Lin Yan searched around and found a letter.
It says that Doctor Zhao has a good friend in Wenzhou named Zhang Qi, who is a doctor. In February, Doctor Zhao will appear in Wenzhou to meet Zhang Qi.
Before Lin Yan could think deeply, footsteps were heard at the door, and Lin Yan quickly hid in the closet.
Zhao Qing entered the house, followed by a woman.
"Dr. Zhao has been secretly sent to the capital. The master said that you did a great job this time, which can be regarded as making up for the Zou family's mistake," said the woman.
"Thank you for the praise, my lord. Did you tell me when I can return to the capital?" Zhao Qing asked flatteringly.
"No, you continue to develop your power here. When the time comes, the master will summon you to the capital," the woman said. "I have already passed on the message, so I will not stay any longer."
"Farewell, sir," Zhao Qing bowed and said goodbye.
After the woman left, Zhao Qing walked to the table and found that the envelope that was originally on the table had disappeared. He immediately became alert.
He walked around the room, came to the cabinet, and prepared to open it.
At the same time, Lin Yan gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and for a moment, the atmosphere was tense.
"Boss, I have something to report." A voice came from outside.
Zhao Qing looked at the cabinet deeply, did not open it, and finally turned around and walked out.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Qing looked at his subordinate and asked impatiently.
"Our men saw an ambush by government officials at the foot of the mountain. Please make the decision, Boss."
"Lin Yi is just a Shaoqing of Dali Temple. How can he have the power to mobilize government troops?" Zhao Qing frowned. However, there was something more important now, so he whispered a few words to his subordinates.
"Yes, Boss."
Lin Yan in the house walked out of the closet and was thinking about how to get out of the house.
Hearing the noise outside and feeling a group of people gradually approaching, Lin Yan thought helplessly: "You forced me to go on a killing spree."
Seeing the mask on the table, Lin Yan picked it up, put it on and opened the door.
Zhao Qing brought a group of people to guard the door. When they saw Lin Yan coming out, they were a little nervous at first, but now that they saw that it was a woman, they couldn't help but look down on her.
The bandit next to him said, "Boss, I recognize her. Although she is wearing a mask, her figure is the same as the woman we tested that day."
"I was wondering who was so brave, with such poor martial arts skills, that he dared to break into my stronghold alone." Zhao Qing sneered, "Girl, are you so shameful to wear my mask?"
Zhao Qing said to the other bandits: "Let's capture this girl alive today. Whoever catches her will marry her."
"The boss keeps his word," a strong man said happily, then looked at Lin Yan and said loudly: "Don't compete with me for it."
There was a loud bang in the sky, and Lin Yan's signal flare was fired.
"What's the point of sending flares now? Are we relying on those useless officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain?" Zhao Qing laughed.
"I know I can't beat you, so could you, sir, let me die knowingly?" Lin Yan opened his mouth.
"Oh, your voice is quite nice. What do you want to know? I will be merciful and tell you." Zhao Qing supported the shoulder of the bandit next to him and said with a smile.
"Who is your master? How do you know that Doctor Zhao will appear in Wenzhou?" Lin Yan asked.
"My master is the future emperor," Zhao Qing said proudly, not hiding their great cause at all.
"I guess you are here for Doctor Zhao. Don't worry, he can be of great use to us. Maybe he can even enjoy a good life with his master," said Zhao Qing. "You can rest in peace in the afterlife."
"Boss, don't waste time talking to her. This girl has a nice figure. I can't wait to capture her alive and make her my concubine." The burly man just now was drooling and looked impatient.
Suddenly, the strong man's smile froze and he fell down.
In an instant, the crossbow arrow in Lin Yan's sleeve pierced into the strong man's neck.
Zhao Qing looked at the strong man who suddenly fell down, and raised his eyes to look at Lin Yan: "You still have this trick? Come, capture her alive for me, I want to torture her severely."
Lin Yan released all the arrows in his sleeves, and each arrow accurately killed one person.
Zhao Qing was nearly shot several times and was completely furious: "Come on, all of you."
Lin Yan drew out his sword and killed the bandits surrounding her with one strike.
When Zhao Qing saw Lin Yan kill so many of his brothers with one sword, he realized that he had underestimated her. This woman actually hid her strength.
"Prepare the bows and crossbows!" Zhao Qing shouted.
When Lin Yan saw them taking out so many weapons, he frowned and thought: "It seems that they are not joking, they are really planning to rebel."
At the same time, the bandits guarding the gate came to report: "Boss, the group of officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain are coming up."
"You've arrived just in time to catch them all in one fell swoop," Zhao Qing sneered.
Arrows were shot at Lin Yan from all directions. She flashed and quickly killed several bandits who were standing on the roof and shooting arrows, while dodging the sharp arrows flying from all directions.
Zhao Qing didn't even have time to see how Lin Yan killed the people and how he dodged the arrows. At the same time, the guards at the door continued to report: "Those people are not soldiers at all. They have broken through the last line of defense with their extraordinary skills."
After hearing this, Zhao Qing broke out in a cold sweat and said in panic: "Kill them, kill them all."
Soon, Lin Yi and his men completely broke through the stronghold and captured the remaining people.
Seeing Lin Yi coming, Lin Yan retracted his sword and looked around: "What a pity, Zhao Qian got away."
Lin Yi looked at Lin Yan, who was standing there as if nothing had happened, and covered his chest. "Fortunately, nothing happened. I didn't expect there were so many people in the village. If they knew..."
"Why, if you knew, you wouldn't have let me come," Lin Yan interrupted.
"Sister, you can't rely on your martial arts skills to ignore your own safety. If something happens to you..." Lin Yi sighed.
"Okay, stop talking. My ears are getting calluses from hearing this." Lin Yan scratched his ears.
"How did you get in?" Lin Yan asked curiously, "Isn't that poisonous fog?"
Lin Yi pointed at Zhang Bai who was following him, "This kid told us that we can use a kind of grass grown in the mountains, wrap it with cloth and cover our noses to resist the poisonous fog."
"Okay, sister, you thought from the beginning that we might not be able to come. Do you know that this is very dangerous?" Lin Yi shouted angrily.
"If you don't come, I have a way to escape, don't worry," Lin Yan said helplessly.
"Oh, there is a way to escape. If we don't come, you will be skinned alive if not dead."
"Okay, okay, I'm fine." Lin Yan didn't want to continue talking about this topic.
"By the way, is Lao Zhao here?" Lin Yi remembered the important matter.
Seeing Zhang Bai looking listless, Lin Yan said, "Old Zhao isn't here, let's talk when we get back."
Seeing Lin Yan's serious expression, Lin Yi arranged for people to search the village and take the remaining people back to the government office.
During this time, Lin Yan returned to Zhao Qing's room and saw a familiar totem on a piece of paper on the table.
Lin Yan stared at the totem thoughtfully for a long time.
Zou Mansion
"Old Zhao is in the capital," Lin Yan said.
"What?" Lin Yi was surprised, "This group of people also has people in Beijing."
Tang Yuelin was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that these people would take Doctor Zhao to the capital so quickly.
"Old Zhao is safe now." Lin Yan told everyone what she had gotten out of the village, skipping the matter of predicting the future. There were some things she still needed to investigate thoroughly.
"How did they know Lao Zhao's whereabouts?" Lin Yi wondered.
Lin Yan thought of the letter in Zhao Qing's room and said nothing.
Tang Yuelin didn't say anything. Of course she knew what Zhong Yuxi and Gu Shi had said.
Lin Yan looked at Lin Yi and asked in confusion: "How did you get the government to agree to send troops?"
The extraordinary person mentioned by Zhao Qing was the one left behind by Lin Yan, but the arrival of the official surprised her.
"I guessed that military action would be needed, so I sent a letter back to the capital and asked the Regent to give me a token," Lin Yi said.
Lin Yan understood and nodded.
Hearing the word Regent, Tang Yuelin couldn't help but glance at Lin Yan, wondering why she looked like she didn't know the Regent when Lin Yan was so sad about the Regent's death in her previous life.
"What's going on here? Let's go back to Beijing quickly." Lin Yi looked at Zhang Bai.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Bai touched his head and said, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Sorry, I let Zhao Qing run away," Lin Yan said.
"Why are you apologizing to me? You're so powerful, I should thank you. At least everyone in that village was captured, which can be considered revenge for my father."
"Are you willing to go back to Beijing with us?" Lin Yan asked.
"Ah" Zhang Bai was stunned and didn't react.
"Your father's good friend is the world-renowned master of the Divine Doctor Valley, Zhao Mengsheng. I'm sure Old Zhao has already said that he wants to take you as his apprentice."
"Doctor Zhao, that's not right, how did you know?" Zhang Bai didn't know whether he should be surprised by the identity of his father's friend, or that Lin Yan knew that Doctor Zhao wanted to take him as his apprentice.
Lin Yan also remembered a few days ago that Aning had mentioned it to him before, but she didn't take it seriously at that time.
I remembered that Zhong Ningning came to me excitedly and said, "Sister, Master sent a message saying that he wants to find a junior fellow apprentice for me, his surname is Zhang."
At that time, Lin Yan asked: "Did you receive it?"
"It seems not, Master said that person is a bit weird"
People only know that the master of the Divine Doctor Valley, Doctor Zhao, is a superb doctor, but few know that he is even more of a master in the art of poison.
Lin Yan remained noncommittal and said, "That's just nonsense. Old Zhao says every year that he wants to accept another apprentice to inherit his unique "poison" skills."
Now that I think about it, the person Lao Zhao was talking about was Zhang Bai. Anyone who could be favored by Lao Zhao was definitely not an ordinary person.
"We've destroyed Zhao Qing's nest. He has nowhere to go now, so he can only go to the capital to find his master. Come back with us to the capital and avenge your father."
Lin Yi patted Zhang Bai and urged him, "Come back to Beijing with us. What's wrong? Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid." Zhang Bai stood up and looked at Lin Yan firmly: "I will go back to Beijing with you."
They smiled at each other, toasted with tea instead of wine, and said, "Go back to Beijing!"
On the other side, Zhao Qing was shot by Lin Yan with a crossbow and finally escaped.
Fortunately, the person sent by the master to deliver the message had not gone far and saved him, otherwise he would have bled to death.
"You are a loser. You can't even guard the village. Let me see how you are going to explain this to the master," said the woman.
"I will explain this matter to my master." Zhao Qing's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth, thinking of Lin Yan and the others, "I will tear them into pieces in the future."
