Chapter 400 Dayu’s Ambition
When they left the city, perhaps because the smell of their blood was too strong or their murderous intent was too strong, the city guards did not dare to stop them and pretended not to see them leaving the city.
In the battle just now, these city guards had all seen it. Each of these two caravans were murderous people.
With just thirty city guards, if they dared to stop them, they would probably be killed on the spot.
A salary of less than half a tael of silver a month would not force them to work hard.
After leaving the city, the two caravans rushed to the capital without stopping.
In the next two counties, perhaps the Great Jade Chamber of Commerce was afraid of being beaten, or perhaps they were out of manpower, so they did not encounter any further obstacles.
Three days later, a huge ancient city appeared in everyone's sight, like a sleeping giant beast.
The city wall is tall and thick, covered with traces of time and mottled moss. The city gate is majestic and majestic, with complex patterns carved on it, showing its former glory.
This capital has been built for more than five hundred years and has experienced two dynasty changes, countless years of wind and rain, and dozens of wars.
The capital's iron guards were dressed in heavy iron armor, bronze helmets on their heads, and long swords on their waists. They lined up on both sides of the city gate with cold expressions.
Seeing the caravan approaching slowly, the leader stepped forward and said:
"Stop and inspect the cargo."
The caravan stopped, and several iron guards came forward. They didn't search carefully, but just took a general look at what was being transported.
The leading iron guard did not step forward to search. He kept scanning the caravan members and could not help but frown.
This group of people don't look like businessmen, but more like... a group of soldiers and killers who have experienced hundreds of battles.
He gestured, and the surrounding Capital Guards came forward.
This move scared Lin Xiaofan quite a lot. This group of people couldn't be from the Chen family or the Zhang family, right?
That shouldn't be the case. The Zhao family and the Jian family are now the strongest in the capital. It's not like he can't even enter the city gate.
"Why do you smell so strong of blood?"
The leading Iron Guard asked.
"Oh, I was attacked and killed before I came here and had a fight."
Lin Xiaofan spoke and breathed a sigh of relief.
The leading iron guard's brows were still frowning. According to the rules, anyone who might cause unrest in the capital must be stopped.
The origins of this group of people are unknown at the moment, and they don't look like they are good friends.
Fortunately, at this moment, a graceful figure walked out of the city, it was Zhao Shan.
"Brother Huai, this is Counselor Lin Lin Xiaofan."
Zhao Shan smiled and said.
"It turns out to be Counselor Lin. I have been in Jianhuai of the Jian family for a long time."
Jian Huai's brows finally relaxed, and he looked Lin Xiaofan up and down with a bit of curiosity.
He had heard about Lin Xiaofan's deeds. In World War I, he used various clever strategies to defeat an army of 200,000 people, and in World War II, he almost captured the entire Yueshan County. Moreover, the current status and strength of their sword family can be said to be the result of the people in front of them.
However, although Counselor Lin has a calm expression, old eyes, and looks deep into the city, his appearance is too young, not even twenty years old.
Can he really lead a war at such a young age?
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly to him, and when the city gate cleared the way, he led the caravan in.
The capital was bigger than he thought. The road into the city could accommodate four carriages, and the streets were full of shops and people.
"Brother Lin, this capital was built by the Dayang Kingdom four hundred years ago. At that time, the Dayang Kingdom was powerful and had a huge land area. This capital is only one of the sixteen largest cities in the Dayang Kingdom."
Zhao Shan opened her mouth to explain, with a sweet smile on her face and said:
"Brother Lin, why don't you settle down in our Zhao family?"
"Okay, I'll trouble you."
Lin Xiaofan smiled and said.
He can trust the Zhao family, and their safety can be guaranteed.
The team took off their caravan disguise and followed Zhao Shan towards the center of the capital. Along the way, we encountered no less than ten carriages alone.
In the counties of Qingzhou County, you may not encounter anyone traveling by horse-drawn carriage for most of the year.
"My father and my grandfather have been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhao Shan said.
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly, Zhao Shan's father should be Zhao Ziyu, the head of the Zhao family.
He had a lot of confusions in his heart, which could only be solved by meeting Zhao Ziyu.
The two of them walked all the way until they reached a remote bamboo forest. There is a bit of quietness and peace among the quiet paths. From time to time, a few small animals appear and appear, adding a bit of life to the place.
After walking about a hundred feet, a bamboo house appeared in his sight. The bamboo house is not big and looks like it is just big enough for one person to live in. Near the house, several monkeys were running up and down, playing and playing.
These monkeys were not afraid of people at all. When they saw Lin Xiaofan and Zhao Shan, they all rushed over.
"Xiao Jin, let's go play, we have something important to do."
Zhao Shan opened his mouth to scold. One of the monkeys barked twice, and the group of monkeys all left.
"These monkeys are quite intelligent."
Lin Xiaofan smiled and said.
"These were raised by my grandfather. They are usually quite obedient, but a little naughty."
Zhao Shan opened his mouth to explain.
The door of the bamboo house was open and Lin Xiaofan walked straight in. There were two people inside.
One of them was probably in his thirties, with a righteous face, clear facial features, and deep eyes, as if he could swallow all darkness.
The other man looked to be in his sixties, sitting cross-legged and stroking his beard with his hands, giving people an opaque feeling.
"Dad, grandfather, this is Lin Xiaofan."
Zhao Shan said.
"Counsel Lin, I have long admired my name, come and sit down quickly!"
Zhao Ziyu stood up, tall and straight.
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
Lin Xiaofan smiled and said.
After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Zhao Ziyu made tea and then said:
"Counsel Lin, I'm afraid things are going to change in this situation. If we don't handle it well, we will all be affected. If not, I won't let you take the risk."
Seeing Zhao Ziyu suddenly become serious, Lin Xiaofan's face also became serious.
He knew that although Zhao Ziyu was younger than other clan leaders, he did not act impulsively. For him to take the risk to come to the capital would definitely be a big deal.
"Dayu is going to send troops to deal with us, Dagan, and this time, if we don't stop them, they will most likely take over most of Dagan's territory."
Zhao Ziyu said slowly.
"Dayu sends troops, do they have enough people?"
Lin Xiaofan frowned slightly.
Although Dayu's soldiers and horses are fierce, they are limited by national strength. They only have eighty or ninety thousand armors, and they have to guard against other countries.
If there really was a war with Daqian, they would probably only be able to mobilize 40,000 to 50,000 people.
It would be difficult for these troops to pass through General Chen Tian's defense line. Even if the Chen family surrenders to Dayu and Chen Tian surrenders without a fight, it will be difficult to capture the capital, let alone capture most of Daqian's territory.
The Qingzhou Army, the Cang Navy, and the Capital Guards are not vegetarians.
"It is indeed impossible to do it normally, but what if the Great Jade Country gets help from a powerful country?"
