C16 Very Strange

Chapter XVI: Something is amiss

"You really think that our Meng Battalion is the same as an iron board?" Xu Yan was a bit speechless. Initially, he did not want to explain, but he could not wait to hear what Lin Yun had to say.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yun was even more confused. He didn't know what Xu Yan meant by that.

"Perhaps the previous assassination attempt that was aimed at me was already over, but how many pairs of eyes are there on us within the Meng Battalion? At this moment, we have gathered many people, and those existences that are eyeing us closely will be planted into our own people without anyone noticing. When that time comes, we will only be able to live in the air, and even our safety might not be guaranteed. " Xu Yan explained bit by bit.

On the surface, the entire Meng Battalion belonged to Meng Zhao, the commander. However, it was unknown how many of them had successfully sided with other forces in the shadows.

Not to mention his brothers who had their sights on the throne, even if the powerful figures in the imperial court didn't have a certain amount of power, it was impossible for them to do so.

"You mean, there are a lot of people in the Meng Battalion who want to kill you?" Lin Yun was at a loss.

He felt like he was following Xu Yan and gradually entering a giant whirlpool.

Who in the world was this fellow? It was one thing for the vice commander to deal with him, but even Commander Meng had to give him face. There were countless people in the entire army who wanted to deal with him.

"There might be some grievances when we go this time. Try your best to hold it in. After all, no matter if it's you or me, there will be many people who will not accept this position. There will also be many people who will secretly attack you." Xu Yan said seriously.

Peace City defense was a fat job to begin with, and officers without much background would rarely be able to go.

It was indeed a good thing that Meng Zhao had helped him this time, but he had to be able to keep this favor.

Even the City Guards were divided into many factions. Some had deep backgrounds and some relied on their own ability, so Chieftain's position was definitely not easy to sit in.

Lin Yun would definitely be pushed to the heart of the struggle. With Xu Yan's understanding, Lin Yun might be able to endure such grievances once or twice. However, as time goes on, it will become uncertain.

He had a fiery temper. Previously, he had never been attached to anyone, but now, he had suddenly changed his identity to take over those scheming battles in the darkness. If he wasn't watching, he wouldn't even know how he died.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Lin Yun was a bit impulsive, but he wasn't a brainless person. Since he had followed Xu Yan, he knew that his future days would not be peaceful.

If he wanted to obtain it, he had to first pay. Under such circumstances, it wasn't a big deal.

"Welcome, Chieftain."

When they just arrived at the city, they only heard a few young men riding fine horses at the city gate. They quickly dismounted with a respectful expression, and when they saw Lin Yun's team, they immediately bowed.

Suddenly, Xu Yan stopped his calculations.

There were at least six or seven Centurion. Other than Centurion, who was on duty, the rest of the guards all came to greet him. His attitude was even so respectful. It was completely different from what he had expected.

Furthermore, even if they got the news, they might not really know what Lin Yun looked like, right? And how did he know that they would come to Peace City today? Strange things could be seen everywhere.

Even Lin Yun's eyebrows showed a hint of confusion.

He was just about to control his temper and try his best to restrain himself under the mockery of Centurion.

What was going on? Aside from those who were on duty and those insignificant soldiers, the rest of them were all extremely respectful. Even the commander had come, right?

The few ten-year-old captains behind him looked at each other in confusion.

However, soon after, these people began to feel proud of themselves because they were Lin Yun's trusted aides. If his family Chieftain did well in Peace City, then naturally he would benefit a lot from it.

"How did you know I would be here today?" Lin Yun frowned and said with an unfriendly expression.

"Reporting to Chieftain, my big brother is one of Meng Battalion's Chieftain. He was the one who informed me that Sir Chieftain had come to take over the position today." One of them, a tall, thin Centurion, said respectfully.

He seemed to not dare to have the slightest bit of rashness. However, the more he did that, the more Xu Yan frowned.

"Take me into the camp." Lin Yun was also puzzled, but he did not express it out loud and waved his hand.

In this period of time, Xu Yan had told him a lot of things, many of which Lin Yun had never been in contact with before.

In this world, it was true that the strong were respected, but there were times when scheming methods could not be hidden from view, and these things could all display extremely strong power at critical moments. These things were all things Lin Yun desperately needed, so he naturally trained in his own tent for a long time.

After entertaining Centurion, the soldiers started to leave one by one. Lin Yun quickly pulled Xu Yan and entered the inner hall.

It was obvious that what had happened today was far too abnormal. A group of Peace City Guardians who were above everyone else, and who did not even put Chieftain in their eyes, were actually so subservient to him that they almost showed their loyalty to him.

If this was a normal situation, no one would believe it.

However, Lin Yun didn't have the brains to figure out what they were planning to do. Was it just to numb him?

"What exactly is going on? "Why do I feel like this place is full of conspiracy?" Lin Yun had a serious expression as he started to ask Xu Yan.

"There are only two possibilities for this to happen."

Xu Yan paused and continued, "The first is that my identity is exposed and the existence behind them doesn't want to scare them. That's almost impossible, because even if my identity is exposed, there will be a lot of people who are not afraid of me. It's impossible for all of them to display respectful attitudes. "

"The second reason for healing is that each of them have their own secrets to guard and it will take a long time for them to erase those so-called secrets. Right now, they are using this attitude to buy time for themselves in order to completely erase those shameful things."

"The possibility is very high, and there is no lack of people who want to deceive us. Looks like the situation with Peace City is much worse than what you and I imagined." Speaking up to here, Xu Yan frowned.

If it was only a small problem, then with the power he currently had, it would not be difficult for him to solve it himself.

However, this problem showed that none of the Centurion's group were easy to deal with. At least they all had their own subordinates. It would be extremely difficult to recruit them. It was almost impossible.

The backyard was not even stable, how hard was it to gain a foothold in the Peace City?
