Lin Ding glanced at the sailor and was slightly surprised.

Until now, the one-armed man was the one who spoke most. The other kidnappers didn't say anything. The sailors were as silent as wooden statues, working intently. This time, the sailor suddenly interrupted and asked.

The words seemed very abrupt.

Strange in his heart, Lin Ding answered quickly: "I don't know..."

The sailor continued to ask: "Does the military always have a tense relationship with Lin Rui? Is it possible that the military opposes Lin Rui's succession?"

"Lin Rui has always had a good relationship with the military. It is impossible for him to purge the military for this reason. As for opposing Lin Rui's succession - the military simply does not have the ability!"

"Why?"

Lin Ding showed a contemptuous smile, as if the other party had said something very ignorant: "The Heqiu Army occupies a very low position in the national politics. We are completely different from the Zichuan family. For example, the headquarters of the Zichuan family, Qi

Five of the members of the headquarters are military leaders. Only the chief of staff and the president are civilians. Military generals can have great privileges. But Heqiu is different. In the last years of the Guangming Dynasty, the Zichuan clan, the generals who controlled the army,

The Liufeng clan's betrayal and rebellion led to the final collapse of the empire. Because of this lesson, we believe that warriors are rude and fickle, and absolutely cannot be trusted. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Heqiu has been consciously emphasizing culture over military affairs, cultivating strong civil servants.

The group came to suppress the power of the military and deployed numerous military police in the Security Department to monitor the movements of military generals. Just like our Presbyterian Church, the three elders are all civilian officials. Even the military elder who is also the director of the Security Department is also a civilian official.

The status of military generals is very low. In the highest level of the political structure, they have no 13 Yuan Muhui. They can only rely on them.

Only with a certain strong elder can you have a chance to get ahead. As for preventing Lin Rui from succeeding - this kind of thing is something that the military would never dare to dream about! Since Lin Rui's succession was confirmed within the Presbyterian Council, the military did not know how to behave towards Lin Rui.

6 The curtains on the window = the leaders ran to Lin Yi one after another and swore that they could not wait to help Lin Yi 12?br>

Lin Ding's words contained deep hatred, and the other party immediately noticed: "You hate Lin Rui? Because you lost to him in competition?"

With a gloomy face, Lin Ding was silent for a while before he spoke: "It is impossible to say that I don't mind Lin Rui at all. I lost to him that time. I really have nothing to say. Looking back, his talent

He is indeed more courageous than me, and more importantly, he has better luck than me. That time I accidentally let Liu Fengshuang run away, but not only did he not hurt me, he also came forward to help me deal with the aftermath - but I don't know

Why, I just don't have a good impression of him. This person is upright and aboveboard on the surface, but secretly his methods are very shady.

It was the little sailor who asked: "What is her purpose in the coup?"

"have no idea……"

"Who is in charge of Lin's political power now?"

"The Presbyterian Church - or to be more precise, is in the hands of Lin Rui.

"Do you know how Lieutenant General Lin Yunfei was killed?"

After hearing the question, Lin Dingyuan raised his head: "Lieutenant General Lin Yunfei? Former commander of the Navy's First Squadron?"

Looking at the sailor who asked the question, Lin Ding's eyes flickered and looked deeply. Contrary to the fear just now, at this moment, he seemed to have regained a bit of the demeanor of the regent elder of the Lin family.

Facing his sharp gaze, the little sailor actually turned his face to the side with a little fear, as if he didn't dare to face his gaze head-on.

He repeated the question: "Lin Yunfei, how to kill her? Who killed him?"

"We are at the critical moment of the decisive battle with the demons, but your Highness, Marshal, has the leisure to make a joke with me. It is too... alas... too nonsense.

"You!" The little sailor was shocked and took a step back.

The kidnappers looked fiercely in their eyes, pulled out their daggers, and surrounded them fiercely, but they heard a gentle scolding: "Get back, don't be rude."

Several men immediately stepped back and separated into a path. The little sailor came forward, still with the same dark and rough face, but his expression now had a majesty that was difficult to face.

Facing Lin Ding, he first bowed and said: "Sir Lin Ding, there is a reason for this, and I have no choice but to offend. Liu Feng Shuang has offended many people, so I am rude."

Lin Ding bowed in return: "Your Majesty, Marshal, I don't dare to take it seriously. It's just that Your Majesty's joke was too big and it almost killed me."

"Liu Fengshuang acted recklessly, I'm really ashamed. I just didn't know where the flaw was exposed, allowing you to identify me? I thought this makeup was perfect, how could you recognize my identity at once?"

"Your Highness, you and I have been together for a while. Although the time was not long, it was enough for me to understand your voice. Your Highness deliberately lowered your voice. I did not recognize it at first, but I just felt that your voice was a bit...

Sounds familiar, but you repeatedly asked about the cause of General Lin Yunfei's death... No matter how stupid I am, I should have figured it out. There are not many people in the world who are capable of planning such a thorough and sophisticated plan, and they are also General Lin Yunfei's life-long friends!"

When Lin Yunfei's name was mentioned, both of them looked sad.

Liu Fengshuang asked: "So, do you know anything about General Lin Yunfei's death?"

"I was there when he died."

Liu Fengshuang took a sudden breath, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, her fists suddenly clenched, and then slowly unclenched. In a very strange tone, she said slowly: "Were you there at that time?"

Lin Ding quickly waved his hand: "Marshal, although I am present, I have nothing to do with this matter! I just happened to pass by."

"What's going on?"

"That night, I went home from visiting an old friend. It was getting late, around twelve o'clock in the evening. When the carriage passed by Heqiu 2nd Road Square, I heard the sounds of fighting and cries for help coming from the roadside. I heard that sound

, I was surprised. Are there still robbers and robbers in Heqiu? I led my entourage over to meet the shouts, and saw a group of masked men with knives chasing down several uniformed soldiers. One of the men was stabbed.

It was Lin Yunfei, his head was covered with blood, and he and his companions were fighting hard with their bare hands, fighting and retreating. The fighting was very fierce, and blood flowed down a long street."

Lin Ding said it very simply, but Liu Fengshuang could already imagine the brutality of the scene at that time. There were flashes of swords and bloodshed in the long streets. Lin Yunfei and his followers were attacked by a large group of killers by surprise, and they must have suffered heavy casualties.

Liu Fengshuang stared at Lin Ding: "Lin Ding, in terms of seniority, you should be Lin Yunfei's cousin, and he is my direct cousin. Are you going to watch him being killed like this?".

Lin Ding blushed slightly and lowered his head, not daring to look at Liu Fengshuang: "Marshal, the incident happened suddenly. Neither I nor my entourage had weapons. How could we fight against those vicious and heavily armed thugs? I wanted to call the garrison or the police to come over.

Interfering, but the thugs shouted that they were acting under the orders of the Presbyterian Council, and anyone who dared to cause trouble would be killed, so I..."

He hesitated, not knowing how to speak.

"So you are afraid." Liu Fengshuang said quietly. Her tone was very calm, not like she was blaming anyone, but just stating an obvious fact.

Lin Ding lowered his head and looked at his toes, his face was very pale, whether the disagreement was due to being soaked in ice water or because of inner guilt.

The river wind whistled and blew people's clothes.

In the silence, Liu Fengshuang said slowly: "In order to defend his homeland, he constantly fought against all kinds of evil foreign enemies, such as Japanese pirates, pirates, and gangs. He has made numerous meritorious deeds and suffered countless scars. He was loyal to his duties, abided by military honor, and never interfered.

Politics was upright and aboveboard. His whole life was worthy of the praise of heaven and earth."

She looked at Lin Ding: "Such an upright and noble person should not die in such an unclear manner. Mr. Lin Ding, it is very important to find out the truth behind the murder of General Lin Yunfei and the Heqiu incident. I hope to get your help."

.”

Lin Ding's lips trembled slightly, indicating that he was having a fierce struggle in his heart. After passing his friend, he turned his head heavily: "Marshal, I know that General Lin Yunfei is your good friend. However, please forget about revenge.

If we pursue this further, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you."

"It's not good for me?" Liu Fengshuang opened her eyes in surprise.

The one-armed man behind her interjected coldly: "Master Lin Ding, are you dizzy? In front of you is Liu Fengshuang, the marshal of the Liufeng family! She is in charge of heavy troops and intimidates the northwest. Even if Zichuan Shenxing sees me

Your Highness must also be respectful! Demon King Kawu is arrogant and domineering, and he does not dare to be rude to His Highness! How can there be any great big shot in this small river hill? Even if that old guy Lin Fan comes here in person..."

"Xia, shut up!" Liu Fengshuang scolded: "Don't be rude, please apologize to Master Lin Ding - Master Lin Ding, Liu Fengshuang is not strict with me, I am very sorry, I have always been very kind to Heqiu and all the elders.

I respect you and I don’t mean to look down upon you.”

Lin Ding sighed: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty is right. The Liufeng family has strong soldiers and horses, and you have many famous generals under your command. Naturally, you don't pay much attention to the Heqiu Army, which has always been weak."

"I didn't mean that..."

"But although the Heqiu Army is insignificant, there are still some people who cannot be underestimated. If you want to pursue this matter, I'm afraid you will have to confront him."

"Are you referring to Lin Rui?"

"Lin Rui naturally has something to do with this matter, but to attack so many senior military generals for no reason is really shocking. Lin Rui may not be able to do it alone, unless Lin Rui has greater support behind him.

, enabling him to overwhelm all opposing forces."

"Greater support?" Liu Fengshuang's eyes showed confusion: "As the head of the Presbyterian Council, Lin Rui is already at the pinnacle of power. Is there anyone else who can instigate him? Is there someone with a higher status than him?"

"Marshal, have you forgotten? The true ruler of Heqiu, the giant who has supported the Lin family for thousands of years! Behind Heqiu, there is a person who truly controls everything! In front of him, even the clan leaders and elders are nothing.

"

Lin Ding lowered his voice, but his expression became very serious: "Your Highness, there have been rumors that His Highness King Ming is back! I guess the real mastermind behind the scenes is probably his old man. Your Highness, even if you are powerful,

We cannot ignore the divine power of His Highness Prince Ming!"

At dusk, on the outskirts of Bataan in Venali Province, a fierce siege battle was underway.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, thousands of half-beast soldiers were launching an attack on the towering city wall in a dense formation, and the attacking formation was as turbulent as the ocean waves.

The rocks pierced through the air, and the flying arrows fell into the attacking army in terrifying arcs, splashing waves of flesh and blood. Under the setting sun, the brutal offensive battle was going on in a violent manner.

The sound of killing was loud, and hundreds of escalators were erected on the top of the city. The orc infantry stepped on the escalators and stormed up. The fighting crowd had already formed a melee on the top of the city. From time to time, a human body fell from the terrifying height.

He fell down everywhere and fell hard.

But at this time, no one paid attention to this. Both sides of the fight were red-eyed. Orc soldiers and demon soldiers attacked each other inch by inch at the top of the city, with blood flowing freely.

"Too slow! Too slow! It's almost dark, and we can't even take the city head!"

Seeing that the demon flag on top of the city was already crumbling, but it refused to fall, General Roger was furious like an angry lion. He roared in anger and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Go up! Brothers, go up!"

The demons can't stand it any longer! Come on!"

In his impatience, he rushed to the city and pulled down an orc officer who was about to board the city: "You can't do it! Let me go first!"

But as soon as he climbed up the ladder, the guards took the lead and dragged him down. Roger roared like thunder and struggled desperately: "Let me go! Look at these pustules, I'm going to be pissed off."

He’s dead! I can’t hold it in any longer, I’m going to go up and kill the demon cub myself! You bastards, let me go, or I’ll kill you!”

"Sir, you must not do this! You are the vanguard commander, and you must not venture into danger! The overall situation has been decided. The demons will not last long, and the city will be captured by our army sooner or later..."
