I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

The soldiers sitting around under the city gate were all very surprised. They didn't expect that they would return to the imperial city in such a short time. They originally thought that it would take a long journey of several days and nights to get there, but Lin Chen took them a shortcut and they arrived at the edge of the imperial city in the afternoon of that day.

At this time, the soldiers who had finished resting should continue on their journey. They all knew that the imperial city was ahead, so they were very happy and looked forward to what they would encounter in the imperial city.

Perhaps they have been carrying different missions since the moment they became soldiers, and there will be many people in this imperial city who will come into contact with them.

Even though he was tasked with leading troops to victory, Lin Chen felt that it was just a simple matter, just a victorious war. As long as there was enough strategy and enough troops, it would be enough.

Lin Chen thought the same. He only hoped that the soldiers he had gathered at this moment would be obedient and not get caught up in the disputes among the powerful officials. Lin Chen also did not want to encounter any traitors in the future, although at this moment no one knew what would happen in the future.

After resting, the soldiers prepared to set off again. Along the way, they crossed the plains and rushed towards the distance, exhausted. They saw the splendor of the capital and the city wall right in front of them.

These soldiers couldn't help but quicken their pace and slowly moved towards a place, but Lin Chen led them through the main gate.

At this time, the people in the imperial city knew that the victorious army had returned, and they all ran out of the city to welcome them.

Everyone surrounded the two roads of the imperial city, forming a human wall, while the soldiers passed through the middle.

Not only did the reinforcements arrive with Lin Chen's soldiers, but many civilians who had wandered here also followed. They came here safely and of course were very happy. As long as they didn't encounter war, the journey would be smooth.

Lin Chen also knew that the army he led was for the princess to use. Even if the princess could not lead troops to fight, it didn’t matter, Lin Chen could do it for her.

Seeing Lin Chen bringing his men back and reinforcements arriving, the prince's people in the city could no longer hold back.

Mao Chong, who was beside the prince, heard the news that Lin Chen had returned with the reinforcements, and immediately rushed to the prince's mansion and told His Royal Highness the prince about this matter.

But the prince was very worried after hearing this. He didn't expect him to come back so soon. The prince thought about it and wrote a letter to Mao Chong.

"Give this letter in my handwriting to Lin Chen. He will know the answer at a glance."

Mao Zhong took the letter but didn't dare to read it. He just asked curiously, "I wonder what your highness has to say? Do you want Lin Chen to cooperate with us?"

The prince shook his head and said, "It's impossible for him to cooperate with us. He's already a traitor. This letter is just to distract him. I also want to test what ability he has to deceive me. This letter is also an invitation for him to talk to me again. Whether he comes or not will benefit me."

After all, the prince has set up a trap. As long as Lin Chen meets the prince, Lin Chen will fall into the prince's trap. The prince will also find a way to torture Lin Chen to find out that he gave the gold medal to General Su Zheng, so that he can get back at the emperor.

After the prince finished speaking, Mao Zhong was also very moved.

I didn't expect the prince had this trick. As long as Lin Chen dares to keep the appointment, we will have him in our hands.

However, Mao Zhong was also a little worried. "I don't know if Lin Chen will come. What if he thinks we have an agenda and he doesn't come?"

"And now he knows he's our enemy, he probably won't believe it so easily."

Mao Zhong's worries seemed unnecessary to the prince. The prince just thought that Lin Chen was a man who loved fame and fortune, and he would come if he was given more money.

In the eyes of the prince, although Lin Chen has some strategies, he is also a mediocre person.

From Lin Chen's happy expression when he held the silver, the prince knew that this person should not be reused or trusted.

After all, this man only cares about money, so the prince still thinks so.

He simply smiled faintly and said, "This man loves money very much. If you give him more money, he might confess everything. What do you think?"

The prince analyzed the situation again. "After all, ever since I met Lin Chen, he has been asking me for money. I guess it was the princess's arrangement that he gave my gold medal to Su Zheng. He might not have thought of this plan. After all, Lin Chen is a money-loving person and doesn't have such a brilliant idea."

The prince's words made Mao Zhong fall into deep thought. Mao Zhong even wondered whether he should tell the prince. In fact, Lin Chen might not be what we thought.

But Mao Zhong still didn't dare to say anything. He respected the prince's decision because he knew that the prince was also trying his best to plan for his future and might not accept their opinions. So Mao Zhong didn't say anything, but just took the letter and left.

Mao Zhong immediately rushed to the city gate with the letter, because the reinforcements and Lin Chen's men were waiting at the city gate, and they had to go through inspection before entering the city.

The people on both sides cheered for the victory won by these reinforcements, and they were very respectful to the troops that Lin Chen had recruited and brought over. Because the soldiers under Lin Chen had also killed many enemy troops, they were all meritorious officials and naturally respected.

Lin Chen was watching at the city gate. It seemed that entering the city would require some tests, but most people could pass, except for those common people who had mixed in. They might not be able to pass, because these common people were not originally from the capital and could not survive here suddenly.

I guess the people here will let them go back.

Lin Chen thought of a solution and told the four generals Fengshuangxueyue about it.

"Let those people come over. I have something to say to them. Otherwise, it would be a waste for him to come here."

Upon receiving the order, the four generals Fengshuangxueyue immediately called the people over.

The common people came to Lin Chen, but they all looked at him with some confusion, "I don't know why the general called us here. Could it be that we can't enter the city?"

Unexpectedly, the people had guessed it themselves, so Lin Chen had no choice but to bring it to the surface. "I think it might be difficult for you to survive in the capital. After all, this place is not like Tianmen Pass. Tianmen Pass is on the border and the prices are relatively low, but rice, oil and salt are very expensive in the capital. Are you sure you want to stay here?"

The common people looked at each other, and after looking at their small luggage, they said with some worry, "It's just that we have no relatives left in Tianmenguan, so we want to come to the capital to try our luck. We can learn a skill and make a living selling food here."

Although Lin Chen heard what they said, he was still a little worried. He said to the four generals Fengshuangxueyue, "How about giving them some extra money and letting them cook for us soldiers first?"
