Although Zhang Lin was appointed as the Tongzhi of the Fengdongchang and had a certain amount of real power, there was only Gao Lishi who served him in Lanyuan. As before, this was the treatment of the cold palace. However, he found that the guards outside Lanyuan had been greatly strengthened, and now twenty imperial guards were stationed around Lanyuan day and night.

These added guards are not to monitor his access and exit more closely, but to protect his safety more comprehensively. Because these days, he has been assassinated by assassins, and the emperor has to rely on his abilities and will definitely not allow him to get into trouble.

Is it possible for these guards to get involved in the snake spirit spies? Zhang Lin was very worried, and he had the urge to open their clothes to check their tattoos. However, he was quite self-aware that he did not have the power or the ability unless he wanted to die.

Just because he and Gao Lishi want to control these twenty guards is like a mantis pulling a cart. If there were a few snake spirit spies, they would definitely start a sudden attack and kill him to silence him when their identity was about to be revealed. Who should I ask for an injustice?

Thinking of this level, he could only give up this idea, secretly raised his vigilance, and strode into the Lanyuan gate.

"You guys have seen the Lord!" Someone suddenly greeted him.

Zhang Lin turned his head and looked in the sound. On the left side of the Lanyuan gate were two familiar guards standing, bowing to him. One of them had black beards on his lips. He knew this person, Lu Dabai, and the other, self-evident, was Qin Dan. These two were guards assigned by Huan Bin, but he never trusted them.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Lin asked in surprise.

"Sir, General Huan sent us to protect you."

"General Huan sent you here?" Zhang Lin was a little disbelief. Huan Bin had been transferred to Qianniu Guard, so how could he still be in charge of the Yulin Guard? Besides, at this critical moment, what does Huan Bin mean to send a personal guard to me? Could it be that I disclosed the secret of the snake spirit and took over the inner guard and wanted to retaliate against me at close range? Thinking of this, his pores all over his body were tightened, and he held the seven-star magic stick in his hand, which raised his vigilance to the extreme.

"Yes. Because we were the Lord's personal guards, now the Lord's shoulders heavy responsibilities and has been assassinated and needs even more protection. Therefore, General Huan sent us." Lu Dabai answered seriously.

"Did General Huan order you to come in person?" Zhang Lin asked afterwards.

Lu Dabai did not answer, but turned his head to look at Qin Dan, who immediately replied: "Yes."

"When will General Huan let you come?" Zhang Lin asked again.

"It's just not long." Qin Dan said seriously.

After hearing this answer and seeing the other party's expression, Zhang Lin's suspicion became even more serious.

Huan Bin was the first member of the snake spirit he dealt with. He cleared two members of the snake spirit in front of the former. Could it be that the former would not suspect that his identity was also exposed? Maybe he had already run away with Xiao Qingfang, so how could he venture into the palace?

It is very likely that Huan Bin's task of putting these two people around me was to assassinate me. He wanted to wait for the right time before, but he didn't expect that I suddenly had a situation and was sent to the cold palace, which made their plan fail. Now I have eliminated the snake spirit and taken over the inner guards. They can't wait, so they came to the door and wanted to carry out a retaliatory governor's action.

If you understand this, Zhang Lin would not be able to let these two men be his personal guards at will, but he could not keep these two men out for no reason. After all, they were his personal guards in name.

Zhang Lin looked around and saw that at the entrance of Lanyuan, more than twenty imperial guards stood like javelins, one by one, with great might and no squint.

"You should know that I just cleaned up the inner guards, cleared out the members of the snake spirit hidden in it, and offended the snake spirit. Although the snake spirit is more hidden in the inner guards, there is not a single one in the Yulin guards. Chen Shi and Huizhong are examples. If you want to stay and be my personal guards, there is a condition that you need to take off your clothes in public. If you don't want me to test your body, you can leave immediately, and I won't make things difficult for you." While speaking, a solemn look appeared on Zhang Lin's face, and his sound hand was huddled in his sleeves, secretly holding the seven-star magic stick.

The reason why he dared to say so thoroughly is that there are more than 20 imperial guards stationed around Lanyuan. Zhang Lin bet that these 20 imperial guards would not be all snake spirits, even if there were, they were only a minority. Besides, what he wanted to check was Lu Qin and the other party, and it was all based on whether the other party was willing or not. There was no compulsory element. Even if there were snake spirits around, they would not attack him on the spot.

As for these two people, even if they are members of the snake spirit, they are easy to control.

Besides, for his own safety, he could only do this. He could not let these two people with great suspicion enter the house and beside his bed.

After hearing Zhang Lin's clear words, Lu Dabai and Qin Dan looked at each other, and they finally understood that Zhang Lin did not trust them and suspected that they were snake spirit spies.

"If you have no problem, take off your clothes, and if you have any problem, leave!" Gao Lishi stood up, stood in front of Zhang Lin, and said in an unquestionable tone.

"I'm fine!" Lu Dabai smiled heartily and began to take off his upper body armor. Putting himself in his shoes, he could understand Zhang Lin's concerns. In the investigation of the two cases of Chen Shi and Huizhong, he was the biggest suspect. Now it was the time for him to prove his innocence.

"I'm fine, either." Qin Dan was unwilling to fall behind, so he reached out to take off his upper armor. However, when he was untiing his armor, his eyes quickly turned around and scanned the surrounding scene.

The guards stationed at the gate of Lanyuan all turned their attention to Lu Qin and the others. They were interested in the mysterious snake spirit tattoos and wanted to see them as real and take a look.

Lu Dabai moved quickly and took off his upper body armor very quickly.

"Look, what mark is this on him?" Qin Dan suddenly exaggeratedly. His voice immediately attracted most people's gaze to Lu Dabai, because the latter's upper clothes had been taken off, revealing his fair skin and strong muscles.

It was a sudden moment, and at that time, while shouting this sound, Qin Dan took out an extremely sharp dagger from his armor and stabbed Zhang Lin with a lightning speed.

Before everyone could react, the sharp dagger flashed with a cold light and had already stabbed Zhang Lin's chest, making a muffled sound.

"Bang~"

Although Zhang Lin determined that the two were snake spirit spies, he also released a hundred and twenty-two points of vigilance. He also noticed Qin Dan's move. When the latter took action, he had already started dodging, but he was still one step slower. He was stabbed by a dagger stabbed by Qin Dan with a thunderous force. Under the action of huge inertia, he quickly retreated backwards like a fence pushed by an antelope horn.

"Puff~" As he retreated, Zhang Lin sprayed an old mouth with blood splashed out from his mouth, and some of them were sprayed on Qin Dan's face and body.

A powerful force like a shell impact and a huge pain spread throughout Zhang Lin's body, which almost fainted. Fortunately, he was wearing golden silkworm soft armor, otherwise, he would have lost his life and returned to the underworld.

Qin Dan originally hoped to complete his achievements in one battle and kill Zhang Lin on the spot with one blow. Unexpectedly, the latter was wearing extremely tough soft armor, and even if the dagger was extremely sharp, he could not pass through. Even so, he was extremely excited and his eyes shone, because Zhang Lin was already seriously injured, and was shocked to vomit blood under the dagger's top attack. As long as he did it again, he would definitely take his life.

Qin Dan suddenly withdrew the dagger that was pressing against Zhang Lin’s chest, and then waved it to Zhang Lin’s throat. The latter was wearing self-defense soft armor, but there was no protection in the throat!

Zhang Lin was shocked and his pupils tightened. At the moment of life and death, he forced himself to endure the huge pain, dodged to the side, raised the seven-star magic stick, and sprayed red and thick fog on Qin Dan's face for no money, causing the latter to scream and cover his eyes with one hand, while the other hand waved the dagger, stabbing him in a mess, trying to stab Zhang Lin into a hornet's nest.

Qin Dan really didn't expect that Zhang Lin could release the extremely spicy red fog, which made his eyes so painful that he could not see anything for a moment.
