Chapter 497： Target Southern Qi Regent

Once the city gate is lost, the eastern frontier will be plunged into the flames of war in an instant, and the people will be displaced and their lives will be in danger.

"The defense of the frontier army is too loose. Once the situation in the Southern Qi Dynasty changes and the enemy troops attack, it will be easy to break through the border defense line."

Lin Jinyun accompanied his sister up the hill, and what he saw was worrying.

"Where is the line of defense? Why didn't I see it?"

Lin Jinlong was so angry that he couldn't help but want to swear.

Lin Qingluo sighed sadly: "The two countries have lived in peace for decades, and the frontier army has taken it for granted, and has no fighting power at all."

"Let's go to the city first. Xuan'er and the others are tired after driving all day, so find an inn to rest."

Lin Jinyun couldn't stand it anymore, and thought of leaving.

"Let's go and have a look inside the city."

Lin Qingluo readily agreed, and she also looked heartbroken, not wanting to waste time here.

Eight young men, riding tall horses, appeared at the gate of Longcheng, immediately attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Longcheng is located in the frontier, even though it is the largest town in the border, the life of the people in the frontier is still far less prosperous than in the capital.

The lax guards at the gates of Longcheng were almost the same as those at the border.

A group of young men got off their horses and lined up at the gate along with the border residents entering the city, waiting to enter the city.

The soldiers guarding the city gate only lit up their eyes when they saw the eight horses, and subconsciously glanced at the eight plainly dressed young men who looked young.

The rest of the border residents didn't even have a rewarding look in their eyes.

After entering Longcheng, a group of teenagers found an inn to stay, handed over the horses to the inn to feed the fodder, and walked to the bustling main road for a stroll.

Lin Qingluo kept in touch with the little kingfisher all the time and asked about Xue Ji's whereabouts.

"Xue Ji didn't succeed for the time being. The Prince Regent of the Southern Qi Dynasty is eating in the most high-end restaurant in the city at the moment, and one of the accompanying people here is the Patriarch of the Royal Family of Longcheng."

The little kingfisher is currently on the eaves of the three-story restaurant, combing its feathers gracefully, and can clearly hear the conversation in the wing room.

"Have you found out why Xue Ji assassinated the Southern Qi Regent?"

"The little emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty is only nine years old and has not yet ruled in person. The government is in the hands of the regent."

The little kingfisher deserves to be a caring and good baby, and she is very good at inquiring about the news: "This man's intentions are not right, the Northern Qi is becoming stronger and stronger, and he has the ambition to annex the Southern Qi."

"Not only did he not intend to resist, but he secretly communicated with Xia Houchun, the lord of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He wanted to exchange the land of the Southern Qi Dynasty for the rest of his life's wealth. Simply put, he wanted to sell his master for glory."

"Xue Rufeng sent Xue Ji to assassinate him in order to take the opportunity to get rid of the courtiers, support the little emperor to take charge of the government, and send troops to fight against the Northern Qi."

"Once the Northern Qi annexes the Southern Qi, the power of the Qi State will be unprecedentedly strong, the defense line in the east will be stretched, and the pressure on the defense of the Lin family army will increase sharply. It is inevitable that manpower will be drawn from the defense line of the North Ming, resulting in weak defenses at various passes, which will give Bei Ming a lot of pressure. Take this opportunity to invade the Central Plains."

"So, Xue Ji's assassination of the Southern Qi Regent this time is beneficial to the Lin family's army."

Lin Qingluo's eyes were shining brightly, and he made a decision in a flash: "Yin'er, put aside the previous grievances for the time being, and cooperate with her fully to kill the Southern Qi Regent."

"Good."

The little kingfisher came alive and secretly wanted to show off its skills.

What is the seventh-ranked killer on the Jianghu killer list?

In front of this divine animal baby, even raising a claw is not worthy!

"Sister, let's buy a big iron pot, and buy more bowls and chopsticks, spoons, and take them with you on the road."

A group of young men wandered along the shops on both sides of the street, and when they came to a grocery store selling daily necessities, Lin Jinyun stopped, and interrupted his sister's thoughts with a smile.
