Chapter 316: The Enemy in the Dark

After the Nanchuan Army gained a foothold in the Nanchuan Province, Mucheng became the actual base camp of the Nanchuan Army, controlling Jiuyuan Province to the north and Nanchuan Province to the south. Mucheng belongs to the command center.

As the control area of ​​the Nanchuan Army continued to expand outward, the territory and population continued to increase, and more and more cities were controlled. The originally simple ruling structure could no longer meet the needs. Therefore, after a series of rectification and expansion, the Nanchuan Army has now formed two teams, government affairs system and military system, which were respectively responsible by the General Consul Katun and the Grand Marshal Lin Nuoyan.

The Chief Consul Katun and the General Manager Lin Nuoyan were in charge of government affairs and military affairs respectively, and they cooperated and complemented each other. The entire Nanchuan Army developed very rapidly.

The lord's mansion in Mucheng Central Square has been transformed into a government affairs government. The civil servant system of Katun's leader works here, and officials in black robes are in and out, making the place look particularly busy.

The Nanchuan Army has developed rapidly, and many civil and military officials who first joined the Nanchuan Army are now in high positions, which is enviable.

The most eye-catching one is the Zhao family. The Zhao family boarded the Nanchuan Army. Not only Zhao Feng, an outstanding figure in the young generation, served as the commander of the Fourth Legion, but Zhao Kuo, the old patriarch who was over 70 years old, also served as the consul of Mucheng. In addition, dozens of Zhao family children also held positions at all levels. The Zhao family is incredible.

"Mr. Zhao, someone is coming from your family. I'm waiting outside the government office." An official in Nanchuan, wearing a black robe, knocked on the office of the consul of Mucheng, Zhao Kuo, and reported respectfully.

Zhao Kuonian was seventy years old, but he was energetic and could not see any signs of aging. He smiled and nodded: "I'm working."

Zhao Kuo has always been amiable and famous for being amiable in the government. Although the Zhao family is powerful now, it is rare that he is still so low-key, so Zhao Kuo has a good reputation in the government.

Zhao Kuo packed up the documents in his hand, stood up and walked out of the government office. The officials along the way greeted the kind consul, and Zhao Kuo also responded with a smile.

"Master, a great happy event-" Seeing Zhao Kuo walk out of the government office, the housekeeper who had already been waiting outside the government immediately came up and couldn't wait to speak.

Zhao Kuo still maintained calmness: "Afu, why are you happy?"

The butler Afu approached and said excitedly in Zhao Kuo's ear: "Lin Chuan was stabbed, life and death are unknown!"

"What! Is the news accurate?!" Zhao Kuo was shocked and asked hurriedly when he heard this news.

The butler Afu replied excitedly: "The news is absolutely accurate, it is the news that the officials in Aokigawa brought back with ravens."

"Master, when Lin Chuan dies, we will lose another stumbling block." Ah Fu was very excited. As a caring person of the family leader, he also knew the Zhao family's plans.

Zhao Kuo was not happy at all when he heard Ah Fu's words, but his face became even more gloomy.

His Zhao family wanted to take power in the Nanchuan Army and arranged countless children to enter the government and army. Lin Chuan, who was in charge of heavy troops, was extremely disgusted with the Zhao family's practice of developing forces, so there were always conflicts between the two sides.

Not long ago, Lin Chuan thoroughly investigated the case of attack in the warehouse in Austin and cleaned up the 53rd Banner Regiment controlled by the Zhao family. Among them, Zhao He, a son of the Zhao family, was forced to behead him by Zhao Feng, the commander of the Fourth Army. Therefore, the entire Zhao family hated Lin Chuan to the core, and the conflict between the two sides had reached an irreconcilable level.

The conflict between the Zhao family and Lin Chuan has changed from dark to light, and even the consul Katun and the general Lin Nuoyan have heard of it. Now that Lin Chuan is assassinated, all the spearheads will be pointed at the Zhao family. If all the previous plans will become nothing, Zhao Kuo was extremely angry.

"Let's go back." Zhao Kuo no longer has the intention of working. Lin Chuan's assassination made their Zhao family fall into a passive position. Even if Lin Nuoyan and Katun explain that it was not done by the Zhao family, if they fail to catch the murderer, all explanations will be futile. The commander will lose the trust in their Zhao family. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo was upset, and Zhao Kuo, who lost the initiative, felt very uncomfortable.

Just when the Zhao family held an emergency family consultation meeting because of Lin Chuan's assassination, the fast horse sent by Aokichuan had already arrived in Mucheng.

When he learned that Lin Chuan was assassinated, his angry general Lin Nuoyan overturned the table on the spot: "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! No matter who it is, the person involved will be killed without mercy!"

The Lin family was blood-slaughtered by the royal family. The huge Lin family is now Lin Nuoyan and Lin Chuan are left. Lin Chuan is regarded by Lin Nuoyan as the hope for the rise of the Lin family. Now the hope is shattered, how can Lin Nuoyan not be angry?

"Send someone to ask Consul Zhao to come to my office." The first thing that the Chief Consul Katun thought of when he heard the news was the Zhao family, which had a deep blood hatred with Lin Chuan, so he had to question in person whether it was the Zhao family. If so, even if the Zhao family was his distant relative, he decided to give up the Zhao family because no one could bear Lin Nuoyan's overwhelming anger.

The news of Lin Chuan's assassination reached Mucheng. The original peace of Mucheng was broken. Some people were worried and regretful, and some were gloating. The Zhao family, who was involved in the storm, was even more anxious and discussed countermeasures.

The great doctor Yun Xu ran out of the south gate of the wooden city under the escort of a team of cavalry and rushed towards Nanchuan.

Just when Mucheng was surging because of Lin Chuan's assassination, the Dynasty military camp far away in Luoshan Province also received news of Lin Chuan's assassination.

"My adoptive father, news came from the Unter Hall that they had succeeded. The rebel general Lin Chuan had been assassinated by a poisonous dagger. Unter Hall had already led the finger at the Zhao family among the rebels. I believe the rebels will break out in civil strife. They asked us to prepare for the attack."

Haotian, commander of the First Legion of the Central Army, felt extremely disappointed that this powerful opponent had fallen in this way, and he wanted to cut off Lin Chuan's head with his own hands.

"The secret hall finally did nothing stupid this time." The dynasty marshal Lan Yu said happily: "Give the orders and all the departments secretly go to the designated locations. When the rebels start, they will attack with all their might and eliminate all the rebels in one fell swoop!"

The troops led by Lin Chuanji have always been the mainstay of the Nanchuan Army and have been fighting on the front line of the resistance of the Dynasty Army. The Dynasty Army is very afraid of it. Now that Lin Chuan's army is about to fall apart, Lan Yu is very excited. Without Lin Chuan, the strong enemy, the rest of the rebel troops will be vulnerable.

Lin Chuan's assassination was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing storms on the lake surface. All forces acted actively, and a storm brewing in the dark tide.

"Who leaked the news! Investigate it strictly! Investigate it strictly!" Li Yunshan, the insider chief of staff of the Aokigawa Linchuan Legion Command, was furious.

The blockade news was originally agreed, but after only one night, even the refugees on the street knew that Lin Chuan was assassinated and his life and death were unknown. As a result, the entire Aokichuan became panic. The thunderstorm and their carpet-style search had to die before it even started, because this would only aggravate the panic in the city and would be fatal to Aokichuan.

Thinking of the reaction caused by the news to all parties, Li Yunshan felt deeply powerless. The storm was about to come, and he was now powerless to stop it.

"Captain of Staff, we found the murderer's body outside the city. This is the dagger we seized." An officer in charge of searching outside the city put the dagger wrapped in Baibu in front of Chief of Staff Li Yunshan.

"Zhao Family!" Seeing the small words engraved on the dagger, Chief of Staff Li Yunshan suddenly thought of something and was out of reach.

"It turns out that the Zhao family sent people to assassinate the generals. I'm going to kill them!!" The irritable leader of the Sixth Corps, Gangyu, drew out the battle knife and rushed out of the door angrily.

"Come back!" Deputy Legion Commander Roben slapped the table and shouted: "Even if it is the Zhao family, if you do not use the fire like this, it will only weaken the strength of our Nanchuan Army. This matter still needs long-term planning."

"Go to your mother's long-term plan. The general is still lying down. Life and death are unknown. You stand and speak without any pain. You will have to pay for your blood debts. I will go with you!" Mu Xueben was dissatisfied with the deputy commander of the corps, and now he stood up to help.

At this moment, the spearhead was pointed at the Zhao family, and the generals who were furious to Linchuan Center were immediately furious and wanted to go to the Zhao family to ask for an explanation.

"No one is allowed to act rashly before the general wakes up!" Chief of staff Li Yunshan said after pondering for a moment: "Whoever acts without authorization will affect the morale of the army? General Liu, you are the judge of the General Army. You can arrest people directly during special periods!"

"Ode to the Lord!" Liu Zichen stood up and answered helplessly.

"Everyone should be calm, don't be irritable, don't be impulsive," Deputy Legion Commander Robben also echoed.

Although Chief of Staff Li Yunshan strongly suppressed the generals' actions, he knew that with his ability, he would not be able to suppress them for long, and he gave him a grateful look with the military judge Liu Zichen who supported him.

"Tell us, add some more information to ignite the wrath of the soldiers. I need them to be civil strife, the more chaotic the better." In an ordinary camp, the general wearing general's uniform was full of ruthlessness at this moment, and he ordered a soldier who was kneeling on the ground.

"See General--" The kneeling soldier quickly left the military tent.
