Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 194 Mr. Lin Hu
A group of people took the golden eagle and walked towards the north gate of Handan. Since the middle-aged man and the twelve Huns did not have horses, Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo just led the horses.

There was a fork in the road ahead, on a road leading to the north, and the three of them rushed here in a hurry.The man saw someone in front of him and shouted to Zhao Wuming and others: "Help, help...".

Zhao Wuming and the others were puzzled, and at this moment there was a sound of horseshoes from the northern road, and arrows shot at the three of them like raindrops.

The three of them dodged and tripped over the mud, and immediately fell to the ground.Forty people dressed as Lin Hu rode on horses and surrounded the three of them. One of them seemed to be the leader. He was startled when he saw Zhao Wuming and others who were following the golden eagle in the fork in the road ahead.One of them exclaimed: "Golden Eagle".

"This matter is top-secret and cannot be lost. Several people will press them away, and the rest will kill them."The leader of the Linhu people gave orders to forty Linhu people.

Two of the forty Linhu people were divided into two, and the rest were afraid of fighting horses, so they raised their swords and charged towards Zhao Wuming.

Seeing the murderous Linhu people rushing towards them, Zhao Wuming and Sun Buer quickly got on their horses, but were stopped by the middle-aged man: "Your Excellency, leave it to us."

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man took out a bamboo flute from his sleeve and gently put it to his mouth.A nameless piece of music came out of the bamboo flute with a chilling air, and twelve golden eagles spread their wings and flew into the air.

The 38 Linhu people watched this scene with a tense heart, and subconsciously bent their bows and set their arrows.

Twelve golden eagles covered the sky, hovering in the sky, like a well-trained army in battle.At this time, the style of music changed, and the golden eagles rushed towards the 38 Linhu people from four directions.

The 38 Linhu people quickly let go of their hands and shot arrows into the air, but the golden eagle dodged them.

The wings swept across, and 38 Linhu people fell from the backs of their horses one after another.

At this moment, the golden eagles opened their sharp claws one after another, grabbed the Linhu people on the ground and flew into the sky.The Linhu people who were caught in the sky turned pale with fright, but it was too late.As soon as the claws were loosened, twelve Linhu people fell from the air, half of their lives were lost immediately.

The rest of the Linhu people looked at the middle-aged man playing the bamboo flute, showing anger one by one.Picking up the bronze sword in his hand, he went to kill him.

But these people hadn't run a few steps when they saw twelve golden eagles rushing towards them again.Caught off guard and fell to the ground again, another 12 people were caught in the air.

The actions of the golden eagle had already alarmed Qing Que and others who were not far from here. Ten personal guards and a hundred soldiers from the Handan garrison rushed to surround those Linhu people.Seeing that there were still several Linhu people in front of them, the ten guards could not help urging their horses to rush over.

The general of the Handan garrison looked at the golden eagle hovering in the air, one of them was holding a Lin Huren, and he was startled when he heard the sound of a bamboo flute.Following the voice, he bowed to Zhao Wuming and Zhao Yong: "The last general has seen Cheng Wang's fourth son and prince."

"Why are you here?"Zhao Wuming looked at the Handan garrison general with a puzzled expression.

The general replied respectfully to Zhao Wuming: "I have reported to the fourth son of Cheng Wang that the prince skipped school today. The king ordered the general to take people to the residence of the fourth prince of Cheng Wang to search for him, and only then did he find out that the prince is here."

"Yong'er, Zimo, did you play truant again?"Zhao Wuming asked the two of them.

Zhao Yong hurriedly argued: "Today, I competed with my uncle on riding and archery, and my grandmother and father both agreed. How could it be regarded as playing truant?"

"The crown prince, the king has decreed that this afternoon is the time for the crown prince and the four sons of King Cheng to compete in riding and shooting, but in the morning they still need to go to school."The general explained to Zhao Wuming and Zhao Yong.

The sound of the bamboo flute stopped, and the twelve golden eagles returned behind the Huns and stood up again.

Zhao Wuming looked at those Linhu people, and then turned to the generals of the Handan garrison: "Put all these Linhu people in prison for torture, why are they attacking us?"

"Follow orders".The general looked at those golden eagles and the Huns with doubts, but after hearing Zhao Wuming's order, he could only bury his doubts in his heart.Go to the hundred Handan soldiers and tell them: "Take it back".

Hundreds of Handan soldiers escorted 38 Linhu people towards Handan City.

Zhao Wuming looked at Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo, and deliberately gave him an annoyed look: "Go back, let me go back to school honestly this afternoon."

"uncle".Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Wuming reluctantly.

Zhao Wuming glared at Zhao Yong fiercely again: "The golden eagle doesn't want it anymore."

"want".Thinking of the scene when the golden eagle faced the enemy just now, Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo couldn't help being shocked.

Zhao Wuming looked at the two and threatened them: "If you want to go back to school quickly."

"uncle".Xue Zimo called out cautiously, apparently not wanting to go to school.

Zhao Wuming lowered his face on purpose: "Next time you play truant, be careful uncle, I'll be ruthless. Take the golden eagle you want and go back to school."

Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo looked at each other, and at the same time followed the soldiers of the Handan garrison to the city with their heads downcast.Just now they were still thinking, when they go home and talk about it, it seems that it will not work.

The general breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that he would not be able to fulfill the king's will, so he bowed to Zhao Wuming: "The last general will retire."

After speaking, the general led the remaining soldiers and walked towards Handan.

A personal guard quickly ran over and bowed to Zhao Wuming: "My lord, there are five Linhu people at the fork in front. Two of them tried to escape and were shot by us. The other three have been killed by my subordinates and others." fall upon".

"Go and have a look".Only then did Zhao Wuming remember the three people who called for help.

"promise".The personal guard led Zhao Wuming and others to the fork.

Qin Que and Zhao Fan looked at the Huns and the golden eagles, glanced at each other as if they had sensed something, and were silent.Followed Zhao Wuming and walked over.

The three Linhu people looked at Zhao Wuming and others who were approaching, and instead of being afraid, they breathed a sigh of relief. One of them said to Zhao Wuming and others: "Thank you for saving my life."

"Guke didn't specifically save your lives."Zhao Wuming replied to the Lin Hu man, seeing that he was about the same age as himself, and although the clothes on his body were expensive, they were damaged in many places.His face was dusty and even a little tired.Then he looked at the ten guards: "Let them go."

"promise".The ten personal guards bowed to accept the order, and released the hands that restrained the three Linhu people.

The Lin Hu man straightened his clothes and bowed solemnly to Zhao Wuming: "I am Lin Wu, the only son of King Lin Hu. Whether it was intentional or not, I would like to thank you for saving my life."

"The only son of King Linhu? Then why was he hunted down by the Linhu people?".Zhao Wuming asked Lin Wu back, his eyes full of doubts.

Lin Wu didn't rush to answer, but looked at Zhao Wuming, and asked him: "If I read correctly, the 12 people behind my lord should be the Huns. It is impossible for anyone in Zhao to know them."

"This cannot prove that you are Mr. Lin Hu."Zhao Wuming shook his head slightly, this reason cannot prove his identity.

Lin Wu looked at the middle-aged man behind Zhao Wuming, and asked Zhao Wuming: "This person's clothing is very similar to Zhao Guoren's, but there are a few things that are completely different. In addition, he just used the bamboo flute to control the golden eagle to kill the enemy. .Standing among these Huns again, if I'm not mistaken, he is not from the state of Zhao."

"If you're not from Zhao, what country can you be from?"Hearing Lin Wu's words, Zhao Wuming couldn't help feeling a little bit interested.

Lin Wu looked at Zhao Wuming's expression, and his hanging heart gradually fell down: "To the north of my Linhu, there was a big battle on the grassland last year. The Xiongnu and Donghu both suffered. A force called Han rose in the central grassland. Donghu Both the Chinese and the Huns are their servants. I don’t know if he is a Han. This matter has only passed one year, in our country and in Loufan. It is impossible for people who are not from the north, or nobles and wealthy families to know.”

"At this time, it can only show that you are a rich and noble family, but it does not mean that you are Mr. Lin Hu."Zhao Wuming looked at Lin Wu with interest, and asked him.

Lin Wu thought for a while, and looked at Zhao Wuming: "Our envoy is in Handancheng of Zhao State, why don't you ask the envoy, this matter should be clear."

"Ask the envoy".Zhao Wuming thought for a while, then nodded slowly.

Lin Wu seemed to have thought of something, and said again to Zhao Wuming: "If your lord asks the envoy, you only need to ask Lin Wu if he is a son or not, or ask me to confront him face to face. Instead of letting him take a quick look at my face, just draw conclusions on the matter".

"Why?"Zhao Wuming was surprised and didn't understand why there was a need for a confrontation.

Lin Wu explained to Zhao Wuming: "To be honest, I came here on the run this time. The envoy is a man of power. Once he sees this servant, he will definitely deny that this servant is not Mr. Lin Hu. At the same time, he will try every means to kill him here This Zhao country".

"Since he is the only son of King Lin Hu, even if he has the power, why should he run away?"The more Zhao Wuming listened, the more confused he became, and he asked Lin Wu.

Lin Wu thought for a while, and when he was about to speak, he saw a lot of people around him, and they looked embarrassed.

Zhao Wuming looked around and explained to Lin Wu: "These are lonely confidantes, so don't shy away if you have something to say."

"Some time ago, my family gathered a lot of troops. I don't know if my lord has heard of it."Seeing what Zhao Wuming said, Lin Wu didn't have any scruples.

Zhao Wuming's spirit was shocked, and he looked at Lin Wu calmly: "I heard a little bit."

"Father is seriously ill, and the minister of power intends to launch an offensive against Yiqu in order to increase his prestige and usurp the throne. I summoned my cronies to stop this, but was found out by the minister of authority and was hunted down. I had no choice but to flee. It happened that my uncle was The deputy envoy went to Zhao State, so I fled to Zhao State with the help of my uncle, but I didn't want to be found out by the envoy, and my uncle died. I had no choice but to flee again. It is estimated that at this time, our clan has already started fighting with Yiqu , Pitiful countless soldiers and blood for the ambition of the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister usurps the country, I would like to ask your country to help me restore the country. I would like to thank you with the skin that is connected to the border of Zhao State."After Lin Wu finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Wuming expectantly. The land of skin application was one-tenth of the Linhu clan's territory, and it was also the biggest bargaining chip he could get.

Listening to Lin Wu's analysis, Zhao Wuming thought for a while.If there is a war between Lin Hu and Yi Qu, there will be news in Seoul.Why don't you go back to Seoul in a few days, and it will be clear at a glance: "You are new to this place, you might as well live in my mansion for a while. As for your identity and request, it will not be too late to tell the king after you have confirmed it."

"Thank you".Lin Wu breathed a sigh of relief, followed Zhao Wuming and his party towards Handan.
