Xingzhou and his party, Lin Feng can be said to be traveling with his family, although Lin Feng now has no military power in his hands, but he is still the envoy of Shannan Province, and he is still the loyal Marquis and King of Han who are respected by the people of Shannan Province, and he is still the commander of the Fengjia army in Shannan Province.

It's just that everyone around Feng is gone, according to rumors, everyone was dismissed by Lin Feng, some became rich men, some started to play in the mountains and rivers, and some found a secluded place to live a carefree pastoral life, and now Lin Feng is around, only the hard-working friends he met in Tongzhou, Lu Shaode, including Chen Wansan and Yuan Biao, have also completely disappeared from Lin Feng's side, and it has been a few months.

In less than a month, Lin Feng and others returned to Chang'an from Xingzhou, because Li Xiaojun, who had lost his father, had just improved his mood, and the bad news from Chang'an City made him heartbroken again.

After more than half a year of diagnosis and treatment, Li Xiaofeng's body slowly recovered, but he came up with another extremely shocking news. Because of years of fatigue and many injuries, Li Xiaofeng was diagnosed by a group of doctors in the Tai Hospital, and there will be no news of heirs in the future.

Lin Feng and others, who had just returned to Beijing to prepare for a happy New Year, fell into grief again, and even Li Xiaojun couldn't afford to fall ill because of excessive sadness. After the news of the King of Shu and Princess Xuerou gradually spread, the Son of Heaven also led a hundred officials to visit, but as time passed, this matter seemed to be forgotten, and Lin Feng's mansion in Chang'an, Kyoto, became more and more deserted, and the door was crowded, and even later, Lin Feng directly dismissed all the maids and servants of those newcomers, leaving only the subordinates who were originally brought to the capital when they were in Hanzhong Mansion, and the door of the mansion was closed all day long, and no one was allowed to see anyone.

After Lin Feng's military power was gradually dispersed and reduced, the various forces in the court quarreled again, and an impatient struggle for power began again just after the New Year.

Due to Li Xiaofeng's illness for more than half a year, under the consultation of the ministers of the court, Li Jian has temporarily taken over the other party's position, leading the post of envoy of the South Dao Jiedu, and being crowned with the title of Taifu and the duke of the country. At the same time, he also led the Ma army and horse envoys in the Gyeonggi area in the capital area, and was also valued by the Son of Heaven, responsible for the defense of the Xuanwu Gate and the Chongxuanmen in the north of the Daming Palace.

As for the Son of Heaven and the ministers, it was completely to divide the power of the Li family's army, as we all know, although the Li family's army has always been led by Li Jian, but in fact it was established by Li Huangshu, and his army's loyalty to Li Xiaofeng may still pose a threat to the rule of the imperial court, so he vigorously promoted Li Jian, and at the same time let Li Jian replace Li Xiaofeng's series of official positions, but also to make irresolvable contradictions between the two.

Of course, as for Li Jian's true identity, there is no second person in the whole world except Li Xiaofeng who knows, otherwise, the ministers who are intriguing all day long and trying to think about how to fight for power and power will not let the Son of Heaven promote Li Jian like this, let alone add fuel to the scenes, pushing Li Jian to an unprecedented height.

It's another day of nightfall, Lin Feng's mansion is still closed, although you can still faintly hear the curfew sound from the streets of Chang'an, although it is already the end of spring, but the evening breeze under the twilight is still a little cool, but Lin Feng is wearing a light cyan shirt and sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, but his attention has always stayed on a tablet in front of him, which has not yet been engraved, but next to the tablet on the stone table, the fish intestine sword is lying there quietly, dim.

Under the fish intestine sword, there was a blank piece of paper without any handwriting, but Lin Feng had already read the content on it, but he was no longer willing to burn it. It had been many days in a row, and at dusk Lin Feng would sit here quietly alone, his eyes wandering back and forth between the tablets on the stone table and the white paper, his face was indifferent, but his eyes showed a very complicated color.

"Brother Feng!" Lu Shaode, who walked out of the backyard quickly, came to Lin Feng's side, called in a low voice, and then raised his eyes slightly and looked around vigilantly, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Chen and Brother Biao are back, in the firewood room in the backyard!" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Feng nodded slowly, then slowly withdrew his thoughts, took a deep breath, folded the white paper on the table, put away the wordless tablet in his hand, and walked towards the backyard without saying a word.

After entering the firewood room, the original position where the firewood was stacked was now empty, and what was surprising was that there was a dark passage leading to the underground, and then Lin Feng turned around and nodded heavily at Lu Shaode, picked up a pine oil torch that had been lit from the wall on the side, and walked down the tunnel.

Below the firewood room is a simple secret room with hundreds of square meters, and the layout is so simple that there is only one table and four stools, after seeing Lin Feng, Chen Wansan and Yuan Biao, who had disappeared for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward, looked at Lin Feng, who had a bad face, and hurriedly cared: "Brother Feng, why is your face so ugly?" Is there something wrong with the DPRK and China? ”

"Nothing! Feel relieved! After Lin Feng hung the torch on the wall beside him, he smiled faintly at the two of them, walked straight towards the stool in the middle, and asked at the same time, "How is the arrangement?" Is it smooth along the way? ”

"Don't worry, it's all our own brother who will take care of it personally!" Chen Wansan nodded seriously, and then Yuan Biao said with a smug smile on the side: "Brother Feng, go all the way south!" The small teahouses and taverns on the official road have all been arranged, and everything is according to your orders, and the signboards with the words maple, feather, xiao, chen, and gold are all our own brothers! Everything is arranged properly, absolutely foolproof, as long as the sisters-in-law have no opinions, they will arrive safely within ten days! ”

"Brother Feng, when will you leave?" Yuan Biao had just finished performing, and Chen Wansan stretched out his hand and pushed the other party to ask a question, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that Lin Feng's face was a little bad, and he immediately frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Feng, what's wrong?" ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be postponed for a while, and when you go back, you first tell the brothers not to act rashly for the time being!" Lin Feng shook his head slowly, then nodded, sighed, and added in a low voice: "Recently, Xiaoyun's body has been sick!" I've been worrying about Xiaofeng's affairs! ”

"This..." Chen Wansan and Yuan Biao were stunned for a moment, but then they thought about it and felt that this was definitely not the only reason for postponing the trip, and even if Li Xiaojun was in poor health, there would be no mistakes in the arrangements along the way, Lin Feng would not fail to consider this, and immediately Chen Wansan realized the strangeness of it, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Feng, is it Xiaofeng?" ”

"That's right! Alas! Lin Feng nodded, then slowly stood up, frowned, and sighed in a sad voice: "Not only Xiaofeng, I also think that Xiaofeng has reached the point where he is now, there must be something strange in it!" Moreover, I have observed Xiaofeng in recent days, and I have also let Xiaoyun test it, and it seems that he has no intention of leaving at all. ”

"Brother Feng! You have to think about it! Chen Wansan understood the reason for the matter, and immediately felt anxious, then gritted his teeth and reminded in a deep voice: "Brother Feng, don't forget the words in Mr. Zhuge 's letter. ”

"I know." Hearing this, Lin Feng's body was shocked, and his heart was also fiercely pinched, he nodded slowly, dragged his extremely tired body, and walked towards the passage step by step with a heavy step, and while picking up the pine oil torch on the wall, he said in a deep voice: "You go ahead and arrange, I will solve it as soon as possible!" ”
