"You were originally the eyes and ears of the imperial court, but this time you took orders from King Zhao. You just want to capture the capital and return it to the imperial court." Lin Yutong said, bending down to pick up the dagger on the ground, "For your choice,
I will not comment. As for your statement that King Zhao will not betray your information, I can only say 'childish' to you."
"What can King Zhao do under the eyes of the old emperor? His only help is far in the northwest." Lin Yutong looked at Shopkeeper Hu, "You said, if he really cares about such an important help, he will send Zhao Hanshan himself
Come here? Blow up the capital... You know, gunpowder is very uncontrollable. If you don't operate it well, you will die. Since it is so dangerous, you still asked him to come. He is killing two birds with one stone.
They want to inflict heavy damage on the capital to stop Fourth Master from marching westward, and they also want to use our hands to get rid of Zhao Hanshan directly!"
"No! No way!" Shopkeeper Hu shook his head: "The relationship between the King of Han and the King of Zhao is different. Besides, besides the King of Han, who can guard the northwest for the King of Zhao?"
"Of course it's King Zhao himself." Lin Yutong looked at Shopkeeper Hu with an idiotic look, "I've already said that King Zhao can't stretch his legs in the court. If he wants to succeed, he must have a foothold. The northwest is his foothold.
Zhao Hanshan has been operating in the northwest for so many years, and he also calls himself the King of Han. So when King Zhao goes, who will lead whom? Even if Zhao Hanshan is willing to obey King Zhao, what about his subordinates? Are you willing? There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, that's not what it means.
situation."
"You mean...you mean..." Cold sweat broke out on Shopkeeper Hu's forehead, "You mean that King Zhao will go to the northwest in person?"
"Isn't this an obvious thing?" Lin Yutong sat on a chair, "Zhao Hanshan came to the capital this time and brought a lot of people with him. For such a confidential matter, it is impossible for him to use someone he cannot trust. So, he must have
His confidants have been brought out. If these people all die in the capital, how many people are left in the northwest who are loyal to Zhao Hanshan? King Zhao can easily take over the northwest."
"If Zhao Hanshan succeeds and King Zhao regains the capital, he will personally confer Zhao Hanshan as the King of Han and ask him to garrison the capital. This will not be a loss. If necessary, the east and west can be united, and the barbarians in the north and the south can be added.
The imperial court made dumplings for us. At that time, the north would be under his control."
"If Zhao Hanshan can't do it, once there is such a danger in the capital, the fourth master will definitely return for help. This buys him more time to stabilize the northwest, and also removes the stumbling block of Zhao Hanshan."
"It's a business that can't be considered a loss no matter what, so why doesn't he do it?"
Lin Yutong's smile was a bit chilly: "Is your progress a little slow? Otherwise, King Zhao would not reveal the news to me at this time. He must have done it after you have almost done it. I don't think so."
Once you have discovered it and it is too late to stop it, it is in your interest to ask someone to send me a message. But now you have done nothing. I can only say that your speed is much slower than the speed agreed with King Zhao."
If they weren't anxious, they wouldn't believe Lin Jimin so easily.
Shopkeeper Hu remembered Zhao Hanshan's urgings several times a day. If it wasn't for the urgency, he wouldn't have acted like this.
So, it also means that what Lin Yutong said is 80% likely to be true.
He took a deep breath: "Madam told me this, what do you want me to do?"
"Take me to see Zhao Hanshan." Lin Yutong said word by word.
Shopkeeper Hu's face turned pale: "Madam, considering our past friendship, I might as well tell you that Zhao Hanshan is not an ordinary reckless man."
Lin Yutong chuckled: "Of course I know this." She looked at Shopkeeper Hu, "What? You can't do it?"
Shopkeeper Hu shook his head: "He never sees outsiders. Every time I see him, I go alone. Today, if you go, I can only take you with me at most. You pretend to be Lin Qiye, and maybe we can meet him again."
possible."
Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows: "Okay!" Inside Huiwen Pavilion, there were secret passages everywhere. If you were not careful, Zhao Hanshan could escape.
She put on the hood of her cloak, hiding her whole body in the darkness.
Hei Qi stepped forward and quickly treated the injury on Shopkeeper Hu's neck, "It's okay."
Shopkeeper Hu glanced at the houses on both sides, obviously worried about his home.
"I heard that your wife served Mrs. Chiang. For no other reason than for Mrs. Chiang's sake, I won't do anything. Don't worry, it's just some prostitutes who are just sleeping a little deeper." Lin Yutong
He walked out first and said, "I think it's better not to let your family know about these things about you."
"Thank you madam." Shopkeeper Hu bowed.
After leaving the door of Hu's house, the two of them walked in tandem, with Hei Qi following from a distance.
Shopkeeper Hu did not go to Huiwen Pavilion, but went around to Rouge Lane. Then he stood in front of a very narrow courtyard.
If you weren't carrying it, you would hardly notice it, and there was still an open door.
The person who opened the door was a short and fat woman. When she saw someone following behind her, she was stunned for a moment, but did not move away from the door. "This is against the rules." The voice was very rough.
Shopkeeper Hu shook his head: "His Highness's order has changed, and it is extremely urgent. You said that you are here with someone who wants gold today."
The woman closed the door again with a clang, "Wait."
It was about tea time, and this time the woman was much more polite. She opened the door and let the two of them in. The secret door on the wall of the main room had been opened. Shopkeeper Hu walked in.
Only one person can pass through this dark passage. A lantern is hung on the ceiling, and the light is extremely dim.
"Madam, aren't you afraid that I might cause trouble?" Shopkeeper Hu said softly.
Lin Yutong laughed mockingly: "Do you really think that dagger is a dagger?"
Shopkeeper Hu stopped in surprise: "Is there DU?"
"I'm afraid you no longer have the courage to seek death." Lin Yutong's voice was very low, "So, I don't want to die, and I don't want my whole family to die with you, it's so stupid."
Shopkeeper Hu took a deep breath: "Madam, you are worrying too much. I don't dare to have any inappropriate thoughts."
Follow this secret passage for a hundred meters, and then there is a corridor leading to the top.
There are forty steps in total, and we should be on the third floor.
Sure enough, the door of the secret room opened, and light shone fiercely in. It was the third floor of Huiwen Pavilion.
After walking through the corridor and pushing open the door of the innermost room, Lin Yutong's cloak was suddenly lifted off.
"Let me see, who is here today?" A deep voice rang in my ears, and the breath that came out smelled like mutton.
Lin Yutong turned around to avoid his grasping hand, and with a backhand, the dagger swiped across his finger, "The taste in your mouth is really too strong."
The man said "Huh", as if he was surprised that the person who came was a woman, and seemed to be surprised that this man could scratch him.
The light in the room turned on at this moment, and Lin Yutong and the person speaking were face to face, three steps away.
"Haha... I am fascinated by my wife..." Zhao Hanshan's eyes lit up. He really didn't expect Lin Yutong to come in person.
"It's terrible to have never studied." Lin Yutong laughed sarcastically, found a chair and sat down on his own.
Zhao Hanshan was not annoyed and sat directly opposite Lin Yutong: "Madam is more beautiful than I imagined! What's the matter? The Fourth Master is not here, is Madam lonely?"
Sure enough, a dog couldn't spit out ivory. She really wanted to knock off his teeth and take a closer look.
She raised her head and looked at Zhao Hanshan's rough face, "I am lonely. There is only one way for me to relieve my loneliness, and that is..." Her voice softened, blooming like a poppy.
The smile, "Kill!"
Zhao Hanshan stared at Lin Yutong like this, and then laughed loudly: "Madam, this is great, it's really unique. I really like it..."
Lin Yutong glanced at the corner of his mouth: "There will be times when you don't like me. Let's talk it out. I can come here today. You should know that your death has come."
Zhao Hanshan waved his hand: "Women should still stay at home and embroider peanut dolls. In my opinion, it's just the opposite. As soon as you come, I know that I still have a chance."
"Take me hostage?" Lin Yutong laughed mockingly: "Zhao Hanshan, where do you have the confidence? You can't do porcelain work without diamonds. If I'm not sure, why should I risk my life? Your gunpowder is soaked by me. Jiaofang Secretary
I blocked them and pushed them down. Everyone in the secret passage was like a dead pig. I wanted to kill them however I wanted. I just came to Huiwen Pavilion a few days ago. I wrote the plum blossom seal characters in the hall.
Yes, I also know that you ate roast mutton that day. Do you think that if I know so much, no one will be watching outside Huiwen Pavilion? Haha... I am afraid that you will escape from the secret passage, am I here?
Come, the entrance to your secret passage has been exposed. The road is blocked, and the only thing you can do is to hold me hostage. Since I know you will hold me hostage, why do I still come? How dare I come? Your Highness, King of Han, before you
In your eyes, am I a fool who only wants to die?"
Zhao Hanshan was still smiling, but his eyes were narrowed. Then he clapped his hands, the smile at the corner of his mouth froze, and then said: "What Madam said is indeed wonderful!"
Lin Yutong also imitated his example and clapped, "What? You don't see the guards coming out, are you panicking?"
Zhao Hanshan's eyes flashed with haze: "Madam's methods are really powerful."
As he said that, he looked at Shopkeeper Hu who had collapsed on the side, "You got DU in this room, but why are you and I fine?"
Lin Yutong chuckled: "I'm okay because I took the antidote. You're okay because..." She pointed to Zhao Hanshan's injured finger, "You also got another kind of DU..."
