Chapter 420 Lin Xing's Shock
Soon, another day passed.
During this day, Jiang Chen led the Yan State army and pushed the battle line all the way to the city of Nanxi County.
Looking at the Qi flag flying above the county town, Jiang Chen's mouth, covered by a dragon-shaped mask, slightly raised a smile.
After these days of bloody battles, Jiang Chen had already gradually mastered the Overlord Spear Technique.
Moreover, Jiang Chen gradually developed his own unique spear technique based on the Overlord Spear Technique!
"Yuan Hao, Yu Shuo, tell the whole army to retreat five miles and set up camp on the spot!"
As Jiang Chen spoke, he rode on the exotic beast Qilin and headed towards the rear of the army.
After receiving Jiang Chen's order, Yuan Hao and Yu Shuo passed down the order to retreat five miles.
Thus, the entire Yan State army retreated under the puzzled gaze of Lin Xing on the top of the city wall.
Looking at the sudden retreat of the Yan State army, Lin Xing couldn't help but feel a little confused .
They could obviously rely on their numerical advantage and morale advantage to directly flatten the Nanxi County capital.
But why did the Yan State Emperor Jiang Chen suddenly choose to retreat with his men?
Lin Xing, puzzled as he looked at this scene, could only speak to the deputy general beside him.
"Pass the order down, and let the brothers be on high alert."
"According to Yan Country's usual style, there must be something fishy going on here!"
"Yes, General."
Following Lin Xing's order, the deputy general quickly passed the order down.
The 50,000 Qi troops who remained in the county town of Nanxi County all perked up.
He did not dare to relax for a moment and kept a close eye on the movements of the Yan State army.
But after being vigilant for most of the day, the 400,000 Yan State troops did not move at all.
They actually rested on the spot in front of 50,000 Qi soldiers on the city wall!
After learning the news, Lin Xing said nothing.
He just spoke very seriously to his deputy general.
"Pass the order down, there must not be any slackness, the Emperor of Yan Country."
"It's even harder to deal with than we imagined!"
Seeing that Lin Xing said so, the deputy general had no choice but to follow Lin Xing's orders.
The 50,000 troops in the city were divided into two groups, who took turns guarding the city walls.
As time passed, it soon became evening.
As night fell, Lin Xing did not let down his guard.
Still under the cover of night, with a team of personal guards.
Only after personally inspecting the entire Nanxi County did he completely put his mind at ease.
With a heart full of fatigue, dragging an exhausted body.
Lin Xing returned to the Nanxi County Magistrate's Mansion since Zhu Hongwu, disguised as Tian Min, withdrew with an army of 250,000.
This mansion, which was originally where Tian Min lived, became Lin Xing's command post.
Lin Xing returned to the study in the Princess's Mansion. Since then, Lin Xing has served as the rear guard general of Qi State.
This study room, which was originally used to handle government affairs, became the place and residence where Lin Xing handled the affairs of Nanxi County.
In order to make it convenient for himself to climb up to the top of the city wall and fight at any time, Lin Xing did not change his armor.
After a simple wash, Lin Xing lay down on the couch in front of the desk.
But before Lin Xing closed his eyes, he suddenly sat up.
He quickly pulled out the sword hanging beside him!
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xing held the sword in his hand against the throat of a man in black.
"Who are you? How dare you break into my room without permission!?"
In response to Lin Xing's question, the man in black casually picked up Lin Xing's sword with his hand.
Then, under Lin Xing's shocked gaze, his figure flashed.
He just sat down on the guest chair beside him and looked at Lin Xing quietly.
Faced with the man in black who suddenly broke into his room, Lin Xing did not hesitate.
He rushed towards the man in black again with a knife, wanting to kill the mysterious man in black with one blow.
This time, before Lin Xing got close, the man in black raised his hand slightly.
Then a dart flew out and hit Lin Xing's arm directly.
Lin Xing felt pain after being hit in the arm by a dart.
With a "clang" sound, the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
After watching the knife in Lin Xing's hand being knocked down by him, the man in black slowly spoke.
"General Lin, don't you want to know the news about the current Emperor Qi?"
Hearing this, Lin Xing's heart trembled.
Although he had already guessed it in his heart, when he heard the words of the man in black.
Inevitably, the whole person just froze in place.
“You… who are you?!”
"What do you know? Answer me now!"
In a state of excitement, Lin Xing rushed forward, grabbed the man in black by the collar, and questioned him loudly.
Feeling Lin Xing's emotions, the man in black said with a smile.
"General Lin, please be patient. Let me go first."
"As for my identity, you don't need to know. You just need to know."
"I came here only to prevent you from becoming pawns of the fake 'Tian Min'!"
After hearing what the man in black said, Lin Xing was still very excited.
But he still suppressed his emotions and restrained himself to sit down.
Seeing that Lin Xing was no longer agitated, the man in black took out a bundle from his arms.
Then, he placed the bag in front of Lin Xing.
Looking at the bundle, Lin Xing reached out and opened it with confusion.
As the bundle was opened, a dragon-shaped jade pendant was seen lying inside.
Looking at this dragon-shaped jade pendant, a hint of surprise flashed across Lin Xing's eyes.
"General Lin, I believe you are very familiar with this jade pendant, right?"
"This jade pendant was found by someone in our organization from an unknown dried corpse."
"However, with this jade pendant and the mummy, I believe General Lin should understand what I mean, right?"
As the man in black asked this, Lin Xing no longer understood.
The person who led the army away was not really "Tian Min"!
It was obvious that Zhu Hongwu had killed the real Tian Min, and then disguised himself as Tian Min by some unknown means! !
After learning the truth, Lin Xing could not help but grit his teeth.
"Damn Zhu Hongwu, I've felt something was wrong for a long time!"
"I never thought that the Emperor of Qi would treat you with such courtesy, but you would do such a treasonous thing!"
Lin Xing roared angrily, wishing he could chase him to Shanyang Pass himself.
Tear Zhu Hongwu, who pretended to be Tian Min, into pieces!
But soon, Lin Xing forcibly suppressed his anger and said to the man in black.
"I know you are from Yan Country, I want to talk to you!"
Hearing that Lin Xing finally said the words he wanted to hear most, the man in black smiled slightly.
Then, he looked at Lin Xing with interest and asked with a smile.
"oh?"
"Then I wonder, General Lin, what do you want to talk about with the person behind me?"
