1Tang Yin returned to the County Head Palace under the close protection of numerous bodyguards. In order to thank Yuan Fang for helping him, he was assigned a post of envoy from the military. The official position was not high, but as for the Nearest Minister beside Tang Yin, they had the chance to play, if they really had the ability, then they would not have to worry about not having enough space to develop.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was not right. He had been travelling in secret, and had disguised himself, but how the other party found out where he was. There was only one explanation for this, and that was, there were spies in the County Head Palace who were colluding with assassins. Aside from the guards in the County Head s' residences, almost all of them were normal people. Including County Head Wang Kai, every single one of them were suspected, if they were to investigate him carefully, who knows how long they would be able to find out.
Tang Yin asked Yuan Fang who had just gone to his side, "Mr. Yuan Fang, don't you think it's strange that the Maiden Linglong is able to know this duke's whereabouts?"
Yuan Fang laughed and said, "This is not strange at all. The King has always lived in the County Head Palace, but from the County Head Palace to the County Head s, from the servants, to the Maidservant s and even to the kitchens, they are all people of peace. As long as one of their hearts has two thoughts, the King's whereabouts will be grasped by the Maiden Linglong. "
What he said was exactly what Tang Yin was thinking. Tang Yin asked: "Then in Mr. Yuan Fang's opinion, who is the most suspicious one?"
Yuan Fang didn't even think about it and straightforwardly said: "County Head is the most suspicious."
According to common sense, Wang Kai was indeed the most likely suspect, but Tang Yin was travelling in secret, so he was not aware of this matter. Tang Yin nodded and smiled: "I understand. Mr. Yuan Fang came out to look for us. We need to first understand our situation. " While he was speaking, he called over two guards and told them to take Yuan Fang on a tour around the County Head Palace.
Not long after Yuan Fang left, Le Tian and Ai Jia arrived. The two of them looked nervous as they walked quickly to Tang Yin's side and asked: "I heard that the King was attacked, what's going on?"
Tang Yin was amused, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Le Tian and Ai Jia, and said: The two of you are here to gather information, and you actually came to ask me what's going on, I should be asking the two of you!
Le Tian and Ai Jia's faces were red at the same time. The two of them had already planted a large number of spies within the Qingyuan City and knew that a large number of Ranger of Ning Country s were gathering at the Qingyuan. However, the two of them did not hear any news related to's assassination. The two of them looked at each other, knelt on the ground, and said, "This general doesn't have any good intel, please punish me, your majesty!"
Tang Yin clicked his tongue, waved his hand, and muttered with some annoyance: "Get up, a man has gold under his knees, don't just kneel down like this." As he was speaking, he had his hands behind his back and his head lowered as he paced back and forth in his room. After walking for a while, he turned his head and asked: "Le Tian, Ai Jia, have you two heard of the Exquisite Gate in Ning Country? it seems to be Ranger Gang. "
Le Tian and Ai Jia were both surprised at the same time, then nodded their heads and said: "Of course I have. What? The King believes that this has something to do with the Exquisite Gate? "
Tang Yin shook his head and said, "I don't think so, but I am certain. This time, the assassination attempt by Ranger of Ning Country was carried out by Ranger of Ning Country of the Exquisite Gate. "
Ah!" Le Tian and Ai Jia took a deep breath and fell into deep thought. They murmured, "If that's the case, things will get complicated.
Tang Yin looked at the two of them strangely, and laughed: "How much trouble is it? Could it be that this Exquisite Gate is even scarier than Divine Pool? "
You have to take account of your face and reputation when doing things, and have many concerns, but the Exquisite Gate is just a normal sect, it is also very mysterious, there is nothing to fear about it, and it can do anything, and it's precisely because of this that this general said it's troublesome. "
Hm! It was indeed impossible to guard against such a secretive gang. Tang Yin nodded his head, and said: "Tell me, what is so powerful about the Linglong Sect?"
Le Tian said: "The Exquisite Gate is nothing, it's just that the Sect Lord is very scary. It's said that all the previous generations of the Exquisite Sect Lord have mastered the absolute Spirit Martial Arts ? ? Random Change. This Spirit Force not only can change a person's appearance, but it can also change their body shape and even their gender. It can change into a myriad of different forms and has the same effect as the King's Shadow Clone. It's better. "
Tang Yin's Shadow Clone could change into anything, but there was a limit to it. Firstly, the Shadow Clone was not a physical body, it was a virtual body condensed from spirit energy, and could not be hidden from observation. Secondly, the changes in the Shadow Clone were limited to objects that died under the Soul Combustion, which meant that there was a limit to the number of people that could transform into the Shadow Clone. But the random change was different. It was a change in the shape of the Spirit Cultivator, and it was not restricted by anything.
After hearing Le Tian's story, Tang Yin was also shocked. He frowned and said in disbelief, "There is actually such a skill? How come I've never heard of it? "
Le Tian sighed and said: "Spirit martial arts are profound and profound, especially the Light Spirit Martial Arts, there are many people who learn, many of them are geniuses, they are often innovative and have many branches, many different types of unique martial arts. The Random Change has always been passed down from the Linglong Sect, and it is said that even if they want to master this skill with their Divine Pool, there will be no results. "
Tang Yin blinked his eyes as a thought flashed through his mind. He said in shock: "Doesn't that mean that Maiden Linglong can become whomever she wants, and that she can even hide within the County Head's Palace?"
Although it was inconceivable, Le Tian had no choice but to admit that this was the truth. He nodded and said, "That's right. If the assassin is truly under the orders of the Exquisite Gate, then no one can be trusted by the King's side. This is because he is most likely the result of the transformation of the Maiden Linglong, including me and General Ai. "
Whoosh! Tang Yin squinted his eyes and sighed, if that was the case, then it was truly troublesome, no matter what Maiden Linglong's cultivation level was, just her random change in her was too terrifying. He clenched his fists and said seriously: "I have to find this Maiden Linglong. If I don't kill him, I won't be able to rest at ease."
Le Tian's face turned serious. He cupped his hands and said, "Great King, please be at ease. This general will closely investigate this matter."
Now, Tang Yin regretted it, the White-clothed Woman he met outside the tavern could very well be the Maiden Linglong. If he knew that this person was so troublesome, even if she had to risk his life, he would have still killed her! Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world, so no matter how Tang Yin sighed, it would be useless.
Ranger of Ning Country's joint attack on Tang Yin did not succeed, but Tang Yin's heart was weighed down by a heavy burden, and he was filled with worry for the hidden dangers around him, but at the same time, there was a sense of powerlessness.
The next day, Tang Yin made his move. He left the Qingyuan and directly went to his own base at the Zhang River. Right now, the recruitment for Pingyuan Army, Sanshui Army, and Directly Subordinate Army had already come to an end. In the span of three days, the four armies had recruited a total of over twenty thousand new soldiers, but a large majority of them were recruited using Pingyuan Army.
With over ten thousand troops replenishing him, Xiao Muqing was naturally overjoyed, but his happiness did not last for long. After Tang Yin entered the main camp of his army, the first thing he did was to gather all the new recruits and establish a new army. He named it the new army and then transferred the new army from the four armies to fill up the new army, bringing the new army's total to 30,000 soldiers. Then, he appointed the Pingyuan Army general, Guan Tang, to be the commander of the new army.
The new troop only had thirty thousand soldiers, a mere three companies, they were far from being at the legion level, and Guan Tang was a person with mediocre abilities. The only thing that Tang Yin valued was his loyalty to himself, the loyalty was not a problem. Tang Yin formed the new army, in other words, he made the new army become cannon fodder, and as the time for battle, he rushed at the forefront, giving his side a road to the main army. Even if there were losses, most of them would die, it did not have much impact on their own army's strength.
After settling the matter with the new army, Tang Yin gathered all the generals to discuss the crossing the river battle.
When Tang Yin mentioned about crossing the river to fight, Zi Ying immediately stood up and cupped his hands towards Tang Yin: "Great King, please follow me out."
Tang Yin did not know what Zi Ying was doing, but he followed him out of the tent curiously, and the rest followed him in. Zi Ying did not go far, he stood in front of a watchtower, turned and said to Tang Yin: "Great King, please come up to take a look."
Helplessly shaking his head, Tang Yin patiently climbed to the top of the watchtower and looked at the river surface. When Zi Ying came up, he asked: "Zi Ying, what do you want me to see?"
Zi Ying pointed to the other side of the Zhang River and said: "Great King, please look!"
Tang Yin looked over, on the other side of the Zhang River, other than the Ning Army Camp, there were only a few battleships parked, there was nothing else. He frowned and said unhappily: "Zi Ying, if you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush."
Zi Ying took a deep breath and said: "Great King, all of Ning Jun's ships are battleships. Not only is the ship tall, it is also surrounded by iron sheets, but our ship is only a boat and a raft. Our army will ride on these Zhang River, what if the other party takes the initiative to attack? When the boat and the wooden raft collided with the warship, it was undoubtedly like striking a stone with an egg. I don't need to attack, I just need to drive the warship, and once we passed by, we would be able to knock over all our warship's boats and wooden rafts. At that time, it would be unknown who would be buried in the belly of our soldiers.
Ouch! Tang Yin had not considered this point, hearing Zi Ying's words, he was shocked, he raised his gaze and looked at the boat moored on the other side of the river. Just as Zi Ying had said, the Ning Army's ships were all tall and big, and were generally split into three layers, upper and lower levels. The ships were huge, and there was even an iron shell embedded below the ship's hull.
