Chapter 345: Lin Chen: To kill me, why wait for later (Second Chapter)

Taizhou Prefecture.

Twilight shrouded the sea area of Taizhou Prefecture, and a military camp had been set up by the seaside, heavily guarded.

Daliang and the Zheng Kingdom face each other across the sea, and Taizhou is also one of the battlefields.

That battle in Lingxiao City, although it scared the guts of the Zheng Kingdom and made the Zheng Kingdom martial artists dare not launch an attack from Lingxiao City again, they started launching attacks from other coastal areas.

Taizhou Prefecture, for this reason, stationed three thousand troops.

At this moment in the central camp, an old man was closing his eyes to adjust his breath, and the next moment the old man suddenly opened his eyes.

"Who?"

"This junior Lin Chen, here to visit."

Hearing the voice outside the camp, the old man had a bitter smile on his face. He had anticipated that this Daliang genius would come, just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Come in."

Lin Chen walked into the camp, looked at the old man in the camp, saluted: "This junior did not report, trespassing into the military camp, I hope Lord Ge will forgive me."

On the way here, Lin Chen already knew that his teacher had a battle with Li Yuan in Taizhou Prefecture, and also learned that the commander of the army in Taizhou Prefecture was a Second Rank martial artist.

Ge Hongyi looked at Lin Chen: "You came for your teacher, right."

"I don't know where my teacher is now? I hope Lord Ge can accommodate and let this junior see my teacher."

"Lin Chen, you don't need to be so polite."

Ge Hongyi looked at Lin Chen's polite manners, but smiled bitterly: "Your teacher and Li Yuan's battle did indeed suffer a loss, but this old man and several others arrived in time to stop this battle. This old man has already arranged for someone to treat your teacher's injuries."

"This old man will not favor Li Yuan either. The matter your teacher mentioned, this old man has already reported to the imperial court. The imperial court will send people to investigate clearly in a few days, and will definitely give you justice."

"The reason this old man stopped your teacher and Li Yuan from continuing to fight is to stabilize the military morale. Now it is the time of fighting with the Zheng Kingdom. There are many generals in the army who have a good relationship with Li Yuan. If there is no conclusive evidence, if this old man takes down Li Yuan, it will only shake the military morale. I hope you can understand this hidden bitterness."

"Thank you, Lord. This junior has never blamed you, Lord."

Lin Chen nodded heavily. He didn't say this as a polite remark. This Lord Ge indeed did the limit of what he could do.

As a commander of an army, currently fighting with the Zheng Kingdom, stabilizing military morale is the first thing he, the commander, considers. That is to say, this Lord Ge gave him face; otherwise, he could completely take down his teacher.

"This old man will take you to see your teacher first."

Ge Hongyi took Lin Chen out of the camp and walked toward a camp at the back of the camp.

"Junior Brother Jia, look who this old man brought to see you."

Jia Nanzhu, who was treating his injuries in the camp, stood up when he heard the voice and walked toward the camp door.

For this Lord Ge, he didn't resent him.

This time he underestimated Li Yuan's strength. Li Yuan broke through to the Sixth Rank five years ago. He originally thought Li Yuan was at most at the Fifth Rank stage now. He moved with all his strength before his injuries spread, and could kill Li Yuan.

But he didn't expect Li Yuan to hide his strength, actually having stepped into the Fourth Rank, and was still at the peak of the Fourth Rank. Although his martial arts will reached the high-grade stage, because of his age and old injuries, the strength he could truly exert was only Fourth Rank.

This Lord Ge's move, on the contrary, saved him.

Unable to kill Li Yuan, he can only look forward to the imperial court sending people over.

Jia Nanzhu lifted the tent, and when his gaze saw the figure standing behind Ge Hongyi, his whole person was stunned, and there was a look of disbelief in his old eyes.

"Teacher."

Lin Chen looked at his teacher's gray-haired, old and haggard appearance, and hurriedly took a few steps, appearing in front of Jia Nanzhu.

Slap!

Lin Chen knelt down and said in a deep voice: "This disciple is unfilial, making teacher worry."

"Good...... good, it's good to be alive."

"Get up, get up quickly."

Jia Nanzhu looked at the teenager kneeling in front of him, his withered hands hurriedly helping him up. Ge Hongyi on the side looked at the emotions of this master and apprentice, frowned, obviously not understanding why this master and apprentice were so excited.

Although he is the commander here, he also didn't know about Lin Chen's life or death being unknown.

However, Ge Hongyi still had a good eye, silently leaving, leaving space for this pair of master and apprentice.

"Come to the camp, tell teacher, what happened in the formation sealing the Li Fire?"

Jia Nanzhu took Lin Chen's hand into the camp. Lin Chen helped his teacher sit down: "Teacher, this disciple entered the formation, didn't expect the Han Kingdom and the Nansha Three Islands to also send martial artists in. The Han Kingdom harbored evil intentions, wanting to awaken the Li Fire......"

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, after listening to Lin Chen's account, Jia Nanzhu also laughed: "It seems you are also blessed by misfortune."

"Consider it so." Lin Chen smiled. If he hadn't been forced into a corner, he really wouldn't have challenged so crazily on Mount Wudao, and it was highly likely he would have missed the "Wujin Divine Phase Art" cultivation art.

"Teacher, what is the situation with the Li Family?"

"Do you still remember the Huo Family in Raozhou Prefecture back then?"

"Mm."

Lin Chen nodded. He remembered the Raozhou Prefecture Huo Family, the first martial arts family that targeted him, but later it was destroyed.

"The daughter of the current head of the Huo Family, Huo Shu, didn't die and has been staying in the Li Family. The Li Family didn't know where they learned that you entered the formation and didn't come out for months, determining that you were already dead. That Li Zhe then incited Huo Shu to take action against your family to take revenge. I discovered it, and learned from his mouth that the mastermind behind the scenes was the Li Family."

Speaking of this, Jia Nanzhu paused for a while: "Teacher really thought you were already dead at that time. The Li Family held such a grudge against you. If the Li Family was still there, even if Lord Liang and I were watching, the Li Family wouldn't dare to take action against your family. But teacher is old, including Lord Liang, after teacher passes away, I'm afraid the Li Family will still take action against your family."

"Teacher thought that instead of this, it's better to risk this remnant body to solve the danger for your family. As for the imperial court's blame, teacher won't live for many years, it doesn't matter."

"This matter, this old man didn't tell that Instructor Yu. His strength is still a bit low, even if he knew, it wouldn't help."

"This disciple made teacher worry."

Although on the way here, Lin Chen had already guessed his teacher's intention, but at this moment hearing his teacher's words, his heart was still moved.

He traveled to this world, his background is indeed not considered good, but he is fortunate to have met two good teachers on the martial arts path. "You are my disciple, shielding you from the wind and rain is what a teacher should do. In the Li Fire formation, teacher couldn't save you. If I still couldn't protect your family, what face would I have......"

Jia Nanzhu stopped talking when he reached this point. His original thought was that he couldn't protect Lin Chen's family, and after passing away, what face would he have to see Lin Chen in the underworld.

Now Lin Chen is still alive, so these words are not suitable to say.

"Since you are still alive, then let the imperial court handle the Li Family matter. The imperial court will definitely give you an explanation. Don't blame Lord Ge. Teacher's act of trespassing into the military camp and suddenly attacking the generals in the army, if it were another commander, they could directly kill teacher, but Lord Ge didn't, and instead provided teacher with elixirs to treat injuries."

"Mm." Lin Chen agreed, and then asked with concern: "Teacher, how are your injuries?"

"Old illness from many years ago, it's not a big deal."

Jia Nanzhu comforted Lin Chen, and Lin Chen didn't ask much. Regarding what injuries his teacher suffered before, he could inquire from Lord Liang.

The Nine Countries don't have elixirs to cure his teacher's injuries, but that doesn't mean the Yan Imperial Dynasty doesn't.

"Then teacher, you rest first, this disciple will go see Lord Ge again."

"Remember, don't mess around, don't be impulsive."

Lin Chen walked to the camp door, hearing his teacher's words, his expression became strange. Teacher, you killed from Poyang County to Hongdu Prefecture, slaughtered the entire Li Family, and rushed to the military camp to fight with Li Yuan, and now you advise yourself not to be impulsive......

There is a feeling of a butcher advising a passerby not to kill.

Leaving his teacher's camp, Lin Chen went to the camp where Lord Ge was again, but before he could enter, he saw Lord Ge walking out of the camp with a livid face, followed by several generals.

"Lord Ge, what's wrong?"

"Li Yuan is gone."

"What?"

Lin Chen's face also sank. Li Yuan disappeared at this time, is this knowing that he came?

"Because of your teacher's matter, this old man let Li Yuan stay in the camp and not go out, but just now the subordinates reported that Li Yuan disappeared."

Ge Hongyi was also furious at this moment. He couldn't take down Li Yuan just because of Jia Nanzhu's one-sided words, so he just let Li Yuan stay in the camp and not go out.

This is someone tipping off Li Yuan!

"Lin Chen, Li Yuan left the camp for less than a quarter of an hour. This old man has already arranged for people to chase, and will not let him escape."

"Thank you, Lord Ge, but do you know which direction Li Yuan went?"

"The soldiers in the army reported that Li Yuan left the military camp and went north."

North?

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. North of Taizhou is Wannandao......

"Lin Chen, this old man is going to capture Li Yuan, you stay in the army and accompany your teacher well."

Ge Hongyi didn't talk much with Lin Chen, and left quickly with several generals. Lin Chen didn't return to his teacher's camp, but his gaze looked toward the southeast direction.

If he were Li Yuan, he would absolutely not choose to continue staying in Daliang. His escape had already confirmed the fact of taking action against his family, and the safest way to escape was to leave Daliang.

North, still Daliang territory.

However, the southeast direction is Minnan Dao, which borders the Zhao Kingdom, and is also the nearest road to leave Daliang.

"Lord Ge and the others chased north. If Li Yuan runs north, he will inevitably be caught up by Lord Ge."

Thinking clearly about these, Lin Chen didn't hesitate anymore, left the military camp entrance, and went directly toward the southeast direction. If his guess was correct, Li Yuan would turn direction south after traveling north for a distance, and he would be able to catch up.

The sky was slightly bright.

A middle-aged figure looked at the river in front and let out a sigh of relief.

After crossing this river, it is the Zhao Kingdom.

"Jia Nanzhu, Lin Chen...... this hatred will not be avenged, I, Li Yuan, swear I will not be a human."

There was resentment in Li Yuan's eyes. The reason he would escape was not because Jia Nanzhu had evidence in his hands. Jia Nanzhu absolutely wouldn't have evidence in his hands. This was also the reason why he wasn't worried when Jia Nanzhu killed his way to the army.

But when he learned from a confidant that Lin Chen had come to the army, he couldn't sit still anymore.

Although he didn't understand why Lin Chen was still alive, this confidant of his had seen Lin Chen in Lingxiao City, so he naturally wouldn't recognize him wrong.

Lin Chen is still alive, then whether Jia Nanzhu has evidence is not important.

In his view, although he is a Fourth Rank martial artist, he knows even more that Kong Qifeng values Lin Chen. In the situation where his grudge with Lin Chen cannot be resolved, based on his understanding of Kong Qifeng, Kong Qifeng will absolutely kill him to clear the threat for Lin Chen.

Martial Administration Department Minister Kong Qifeng is a kind old man in the eyes of Martial Hall disciples, but those who can reach that position are all decisive people. Back then, to clear those opposing voices in the country, this Lord Kong's butcher knife cut off a large group of people.

Not escaping, waiting for the imperial court's people to arrive, what awaits him is a dead end.

In order to escape smoothly, he specifically chose to go north after leaving the military camp, but after traveling dozens of miles, he turned direction and chose to go south instead.

"Lin Chen, in the future, I, Li Yuan, will definitely use your head and your whole family's heads to sacrifice to my son's spirit in heaven!"

Li Yuan shouted angrily, and the next moment stepped onto the river surface.

Even if the garrison on the river surface is alarmed now, he is not afraid. The strongest garrison here is only a mid-grade martial artist and cannot stop him.

"Want my head, why wait for later, now is fine."

And just as Li Yuan's body stepped onto the river surface, a voice came from behind him. Li Yuan turned his head instantly, looking at the figure walking from a hundred zhang away, his eyes staring tightly at the other party.
