Long Chen smiled slightly and said: "This is easy to talk about. When you take charge of the Forbidden Army, we can talk about cooperation."
After saying that, Long Chen opened the door, and his figure flashed, turning into a shadow and disappearing on the river.
Song Ding looked at the river, and was secretly shocked: Such a high level of cultivation, the prince actually has such a master beside him?
For decades, people have said that Li Zhaoliang was a wealthy prince, but he didn't expect that he secretly hid such a powerful subordinate.
When he returned to the room, the woman was still sleeping. Song Ding was upset and had no intention of doing anything.
After closing the door, Song Ding drank by himself.
In the middle of the night, the woman woke up and found herself lying on the ground.
"Captain Song, why am I...why am I drunk?"
The woman thought she was drunk, but after thinking about it, she didn't seem to be drinking...
Song Ding said: "You are too drunk, you drank it down."
"Why, don't you remember drinking with me just now?"
Song Ding was still thinking about whether to kill this woman just now. He would only pay some compensation for killing people on the boat.
The woman shook her head, feeling her head hurt, and slowly sat down and said, "I don't remember... The slave family has lost its composure. Don't blame Colonel Song."
Song Ding chuckled and said, "There was a guest here just now. You drank too much with him."
The woman looked at the room in surprise and asked, "Are there any guests here?"
Song Ding was not sure whether this woman really didn't remember or was pretending not to remember.
What if it's just pretending...
"Let me rub it for you. It looks like you really drank too much."
Song Ding stood up, walked behind the woman, and put his hands on his head.
The woman said gratefully: "Thank you..."
Click!
Song Ding broke the woman's neck.
The rebellion was too big, Song Ding didn't dare to take the risk, and finally killed the woman.
The woman's body fell limply to the ground. Song Ding left the room and closed the door.
After going downstairs, the old madam was still greeting the guests. When he saw Song Ding coming downstairs, he hurriedly went up to greet him and asked, "Why, Captain Song is leaving just now? Isn't the girl accompanying him?"
Normally Song would stay one night, but he didn't stay tonight. The old madam thought that the woman was not accompanying her well.
Song Ding looked angry, took out a bag of money from his waist, and said: "That bitch is ignorant, I will kill him. Here is the money. If it is not enough, come to the Yamen to find me tomorrow."
After saying that, Song Ding got on the boat and left. The old madam was stunned for a long time before running upstairs.
Long Chen left the flower boat and floated back to the shore.
When you step into the true state of cultivation, you don’t need to take a boat at all. There is no difference between floating on the water and walking.
Back at Qijia Liquor Shop, Yu Fuguo and Lu Ji were still waiting.
"Sir, has Song Ding agreed?"
Lu Ji poured a cup of tea for Long Chen.
Long Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "This guy was moved, but he didn't agree immediately."
Yu Fuguo was a little worried and said, "Will something go wrong?"
Long Chen said: "Probably not. This person really wants to climb up. I promise to help him get rid of Zu Linhao and let him take charge of the Forbidden Army, and then we can talk."
Lu Ji asked: "Sir, do you want to kill Zu Linhao?"
Lu Ji understood that killing someone meant killing someone and silencing them.
Long Chen smiled and said: "No, just poison him. If he is killed, a new commander will come over, and the one in charge may not be Song Ding."
"But poisoning is different. Zu Linhao is ill in bed. He is definitely not willing to give up his power. When the time comes, Song Ding will temporarily be in charge of the Forbidden Army."
Lu Ji nodded and said: "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. It is true. Keeping Zu Linhao will be more useful."
Yu Fuguo said: "This is a simple matter, I will send someone to do it."
Poisoning is easy, no need for Long Chen to take action, his spies are the best at it.
It was getting late, so Long Chen would take a rest immediately.
...
Forbidden Army Yamen.
Zu Linhao rode his horse to the main hall, where Yan Xi, the commander of the imperial army, sat.
Zu Linhao dismounted and stood at the door for a while, then turned and entered the side room.
The current imperial army in Jinling City is led by Zu Linhao, but he is not the commander of the imperial army. He is only temporarily commanding the remaining people, so he can only sit in the side room, and the main hall is not a place where he can sit.
After entering the side room, he made tea and brought snacks.
Zu Linhao was drinking tea and eating snacks, and asked: "Where is Song Ding?"
The subordinate replied: "I just went on patrol."
Zu Linhao felt a little surprised. When did Song Ding become diligent?
"It's okay, let's go down."
Zu Linhao was eating, drinking and resting in his room.
After eating the snacks, Zu Linhao sat on the couch, feeling a little irritable.
I just heard that there is a shortage of elite soldiers on the front line, and they and the patrolling Wuhou from the garrison will be transferred to Qingren County to fight.
Yan Xi and Wu Hongying were both killed in the battle, and they would also be cannon fodder.
Suddenly, there was a stabbing pain in his stomach, and Zu Linhao immediately got up and ran to the latrine.
A few hours later, a forbidden soldier hurriedly asked a doctor to go to the hut to check Zu Linhao's pulse and prescribe medicine.
When Song Ding came back from patrolling outside, he saw several people gathering together and discussing.
After dismounting and walking over, Song Ding asked, "What did you say?"
The imperial guards immediately saluted: "Song Lieutenant."
Song Ding knocked the imperial guard with the whip in his hand and asked, "What are you muttering about?"
The Imperial Guard replied: "The Captain has been squatting in the latrine for several hours, and the doctor is prescribing medicine."
Song Ding's face moved slightly, knowing in his heart that Long Chen was starting to take action.
"What's going on? You feel uncomfortable all of a sudden?"
Song Ding asked knowingly.
The subordinate replied: "I came to the Yamen this morning and had some snacks. Maybe the food is not clean."
Song Ding nodded and went back to his room to wait.
As the saying goes, a good man cannot stand three times of dilution.
Zu Linhao squatted in the latrine for a day without going out. The doctor prescribed medicine, but drinking it had no effect.
Finally, his legs could no longer stand, so his men moved two small stools for him to sit on.
At night, Zu Linhao was carried out, and Song Ding immediately visited him.
"Boss, you..."
Song Ding was frightened and felt that Zu Linhao had suddenly shrunk and looked very haggard.
Zu Linhao leaned weakly on the bed, and his men poured tea, but Zu Linhao did not dare to drink it.
"Damn it, I didn't eat cleanly. My legs are weak. It's up to you to take care of things these days."
Zu Linhao felt very weak and had no strength to walk.
Song Ding was secretly happy in his heart and said: "Boss, your health is important. Anyway, there is nothing to do now. Please rest in peace and recuperate."
Zu Linhao waved his hand, and Song Ding asked his men to watch, and invited two doctors to guard the bedside.
Back in the room, Song Ding was overjoyed. He just said last night that it would be done today. King Wu'an had a good trick.
Through this incident, Song Ding felt that Li Zhaoliang could succeed.
"I have to think about my future."
While Song Ding was thinking about it in the room, Long Chen went up to Cuiyun Tower alone.
The waiter stepped forward and greeted warmly: "How many guests are there? Do you have any reservations?"
Long Chen said: "Yes, among the apricot flowers."
The waiter immediately led Long Chen up.
When we arrived at the Xinghua Elegant Room, the waiter said, "Sir, this is it."
After saying that, the waiter stepped back and Long Chen pushed the door open and went in.
