Red makeup Chitose

Chapter 55 Yulin
"Master, Tao Jianxian agreed." Huo Ruqin approached and cut the wick for the man to make the candle brighter, "He gave you the chance to kill the Jin family, and you, help him open Danyang." the city gate."

Yu Wenquan turned his eyes away from the chess game on the case, and raised his head: "Because of the heavenly book, Danyang's entry and exit are strictly controlled, but with my status as the No. 13 adopted son of the prime minister, it is not too difficult for Danyang to temporarily relax the entry of foreign people into the city. But what is Tao Jianxian's purpose? He tried his best to transfer to Biandu. Could it be that he wanted to drive the refugees from Biandu to Danyang? I heard that the nearby Kuaiji had been plagued by banditry for several years. The fields were barren and the city was closed. poured into Biandu."

"Master, why bother to think about Tao Jianxian's purpose? What master needs most now is to kill the Jin family and meet the prime minister's expectations. Don't bother with other things." Huo Ruqin persuaded.

Yu Wenquan rubbed his temples, thought for a while, and said, "That's right. And the father's request is that the Jin family can't die in our hands too obviously. Killing a commoner is like trampling an ant to death. Killing a Jin family is like fighting a tiger."

"Isn't it just right to look like a tiger? With Huo Ruyuan and Liu Shicun feeding that tiger, the master sits safely in the back, and his hands don't need to be dirty. Now that the master has traded with Tao Jianxian, the final credit must be in the master's pocket !" Huo Ruqin laughed instead of worrying.

Yu Wenquan thought for a while, and then smiled: "You are right, just like Hu Si! I believe in Tao Jianxian and this deal, and I also believe in Huo Ruyuan and Liu Shicun, who can work hard for me !"

The more superior you are, the more you only need to move your mouth.

This is what he learned from his adoptive father.

"Ruqin, you are the only one who understands me." Yuwenquan's gaze became warm, like a thawed brook in the candlelight, and when he looked at Huo Ruqin, it was gurgling.

Huo Ruqin pursed her lips: "Master, if there is nothing else, this subordinate will leave."

"How is the eunuch treating you well?" Yu Wenquan changed the subject.

Huo Ruqin's face darkened, facing Shi, this identity was like a tarsal maggot, gnawing at her flesh and blood all the time.

And it was her father's successor, Huo Yang, who married her to that eunuch.

"The seeds of old waste are all the same hateful." Huo Yang was crushed by her father who was in his 60s, crying until he had no tears, and cursed everyone.

Later, when she was in her 20s, she became an old girl in the village, and she was still unmarried, because the bride price her father asked for was too high, and no one in the village could afford it.

Later, her father fell ill and was bedridden, and Huo Yang was in charge of the family affairs. Huo Yang quickly let her go, saying that she was from a rich family and came from Beijing.

She got married happily, and it was only after the wedding night in the bridal chamber that she discovered that the so-called husband was an eunuch.

……

Seeing that Huo Ruqin didn't answer, Yu Wenquan sighed, and said softly: "Ruqin, don't worry, when I set foot in Jinling Palace, I will ask a king's edict to bring you here gracefully."

Huo Ruqin's face finally warmed up. She looked at Yu Wenquan who was several years younger than her, and said softly, "I don't ask you to make contributions, but I ask you to keep your promise."

……

After Huo Ruqin withdrew, Yu Wenquan looked at the chess game on the table again. He was holding the white pieces, and the white pieces had already taken more than a dozen black pieces, and the opponent was about to lose.

"Do you want to play again?" Yu Wenquan didn't know who he was asking.

There was only a candle on the desk in the study, and most of the place was immersed in darkness. A figure walked out of the darkness, stretched out two slender fingertips, and dropped a white piece on the chess board.

"Until the last moment, how can we know whether we will win or lose?" the visitor said calmly.

Yu Wenquan frowned fiercely, and shook his head dumbfoundingly: "Your last move has directly turned the tide. Even if I beat you a dozen times before, there is no hope of turning the tables."

After a pause, Yu Wenquan looked at the immature visitor, and said with fear in his tone: "Dong Lin, you are only 14 years old, how did you grow your head?"

Dong Lin looked at the chess game, his brown pupils were dimmed in the candlelight.

He didn't say anything, he didn't do anything, just standing there, without deliberately suppressing himself, there was a sinister fishy smell in the air.

Yu Wenquan's jealousy grew stronger, and Donglin brought him a sense of oppression, more than his adoptive father, more than the one who likes to eat golden and jade carp, more than anyone who can be called a human being.

A secret that only the top officials of the Wu state know: this young man is called a ghost.

As for why, his current status does not deserve to know.

Yu Wenquan moistened his dry lips: "I mean, since you are so smart, you should have made a decision on Jin's plan, right? I sent someone to ask you that day, and you agreed to cooperate with me, and said When to do it, you have the final say. Now that Tao Jianxian is willing to make a deal with me, it is a rare opportunity, and he has to do so."

"No rush." ​​Dong Lin said lightly.

Yu Wenquan looked at his expression carefully: "Then you came tonight just to play a game of chess with me?"

"Where is Xiao Zi now?" Dong Lin asked directly without going around in circles.

Yu Wenquan's eyes dodged: "He is Habayashi Wei, an eagle dog directly under the royal family, you come to ask me? How do I know."

"The eagle dog of the royal family is half of the Habayashi guards and half of the eunuchs. The two factions have been fighting for so many years, and each has spies." Dong Lin raised his eyebrows, "You don't know, Huo Ruqin's husband knows. Isn't this What was the purpose of you giving Huo Ruqin's portrait to Ma Xizhong to ask Ma Xizhong to propose marriage to the Huo family?"

Yu Wenquan's face was ugly, and his face trembled several times, but he couldn't say anything to refute. He only dared to say in a hoarse voice: "I'll ask."

After saying that, Yu Wenquan got up and left, came back after a while, and whispered an address to Donglin, Donglin opened the door and left, his figure disappeared into the darkness.

……

After Xiao Zi reported her movements to that person, she was about to go back to the Quick Green Pavilion, but found a silhouette cut out by the foggy moonlight at the end of the alley.

The man sat on the wall with his legs bent, his elbows resting on his knees, and his slender fingertips tapped rhythmically, like a jade ointment for counting time or death.

Xiao Zi narrowed his eyes slightly, pretending not to see it, and tentatively took two steps to the side road. Suddenly, a huge crisis hit his head, making his scalp numb uncontrollably.

It seems that the man came for himself.

He didn't leave it to himself to choose, he could only go to hell.

Xiaozi's muscles tightened all over, and he held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and walked towards the figure. After about ten steps, he could see the figure on the wall clearly, it seemed to be a boy in his teens.

"Your Excellency, which road is it?" Xiao Zi's knuckles holding the handle of the knife turned white.

He is Habayashi Wei, who is directly under the royal family. He monitors officials and common people for the royal family. In the state of Wu, it is a crab that walks sideways.

Therefore, they are nicknamed "vicious dogs" by the folks, who penetrate into every hole and kill them wantonly.

　Habayashi Guard, imitating the setting of Jin Yiwei.
