Chapter 136 Difficult to Meet
Chen Ci's tone was so soft and his words were so beautiful, how could Lin Yu not be moved by it.

However, it is one thing to be touched, and quite another to be unable to extricate oneself.

She smiled and said, "Where did you learn to speak such nice words?"

Chen Ci frowned and said, "Obviously it's from the bottom of my heart!"

"Okay, okay, I didn't say I don't believe it." Lin Yu held his face with crooked eyebrows: "Then listen to me, I think so: we were once weak, and we have seen that the world is right. The less friendly side of the weak, now we have the ability to make the weak live better, because in such a world, we can also live better. What do you think?"

Chen Ci nodded: "Yes. Ayu is right."

"Are you perfunctory?"

"No! I really feel the same way as Ayu! That's why I formed the Mantis Army! We, the Mantis Army, are for what Ayu once said - 'to fight against power and oppression'."

Lin Yu was relieved now.

"So you will work with Li Ying to get rid of these people in Hedong officialdom, dig out the food from their mouths and hands, and give it to those who need it, right?"

This sentence can have both positive and negative interpretations.

Chen Ci used Luo Yuanqing's identity to carry out activities outside, and there would inevitably be occasions where it was inconvenient to come forward. Li Ying needed to use Li's name to help him out.

With Li's endorsement, Luo Yuanqing's identity will never be doubted.

If in the end Chen Ci attacked the Hedong gentry, then these gentry would definitely think it was Li's conspiracy.

If Li Ying trusted Lin Yu and Chen Ci, they could easily sow discord and bring Li Shi into injustice.

Chen Ci confirmed, "Does Ayu want me...to restrain myself?"

To be restrained is not to expose the identity of the Mantis Army, and to use Luo Yuanqing's identity as a disaster relief envoy all the time to complete what the disaster relief envoy should do.

If you don't restrain yourself... that may be to kill all the useless Hedong gentry after the matter is over.

Lin Yu said, "Restrain a little."

Don't implicate Li Ying.

Chen Ci understood, he nodded: "I see."

Fearing that he might misunderstand, Lin Yu explained: "There is no need for Li to be in chaos now, and it is not good for us. He is our ally now, and weakening the power of the ally will only be detrimental to us."

"But the Li family is powerful." Chen Ci lowered his eyes, showing a little bit of worry: "What if they rush out to pick peaches in the end?"

"There's no need to be suspicious of them now because of something so far away. At least they won't do anything yet."

Because nothing worth coveting has been produced yet.

"When I find His Highness the Crown Prince, we may be able to form a tripartite alliance. The Crown Prince representing the imperial court, Li Ying representing the aristocratic family, and us representing the common people. At that time, if there is any change in the Li family, we can completely unite with the Crown Prince to suppress them. The prince has righteousness, but we have the hearts of the people. What are you afraid of?"

Hearing her referring to himself and him as "we", Chen Ci smiled subconsciously, but hesitated to speak.

"...Are you worried that I won't find the prince? Are you worried that the prince is dead?"

Chen Ci sighed and nodded.

"Don't worry, if I really fail..." Lin Yu didn't want to admit the result, but she knew that she should also be mentally prepared. "We can go to other princes to cooperate. The Mantis Army can help them do a lot of things, and there will always be princes who are willing."

"That's good." Chen Ci said: "Ah Yu thinks clearly, that's good. I've been worried about you..."

"Worried that I don't care about it, just want to find Zhu Rongzhan, and never accept other results?"

Chen Ci said embarrassedly: "Yes."

"Don't worry." Lin Yu smiled, thinking that she was already very experienced in the matter of life and death, so she would not be desperate.

If you count this life, she and Zhu Rongzhan have actually been separated three times already.

For the first time, she was his princess, so farewell.

The second time, after she married Bei Rong, she didn't see each other again, and it was considered life and death.

This time... it was Schrödinger's cat.

Only when she goes after the Beirong caravan will the result collapse and become the only ending.

……

"My lord, our people are all under surveillance."

In the post house, Cang Tao played with a game of Go, but he just made random moves, regardless of whether the symbols conformed to the rules of Go.

He just thinks this thing, many people think it is very elegant, he has nothing to do to learn, maybe he can give Ayu a surprise in the future.

"Not only is it restricted to go out, but everyone who goes out must be accompanied by a Datu accompanying official."

Hearing the subordinate's report, Cang Tao didn't take it seriously: "It's normal for us to be supervised for such a big matter as the prince's disappearance."

"Emperor Da Tu, do you already suspect us?"

"If you doubt it, you doubt it. If you doubt us, is it normal?" Cang Tao said, "There is a saying among the Datu people that they are not my race, and their hearts must be different."

"Then if we continue to stay in the capital of Datu, will it be dangerous?"

"Not for the time being," Cang Tao said with a smile: "If Datu had evidence to prove that we did it, he would have arrested and killed us long ago. How could it be possible to just send someone to monitor?"

"But you also said, Wang, that this is only temporary. When will we leave?"

Cang Tao grabbed a handful of sunspots and held them in his hand, shaking them up and down, he heard a "crash clatter" sound coming from his palm, and felt that the heavy sound was very pleasant - just like the current situation.

Everything is in his hands.

Cang Tao said triumphantly, "We can't leave yet."

"why?"

"If we slip away now, wouldn't it appear that we have a guilty conscience and admit that it is related to the disappearance of the prince? When the time comes, the emperor of Datu will be furious and will definitely send troops to pursue and attack. We only brought a mission to Datu. It’s hard to escape, and even if you escape, it’s not worth the loss. After all, what we’ve captured is only a prince, not the emperor.”

"Then? What should I do then?"

"Stay here confidently." Cang Tao said calmly: "The more we are normal, the less suspicious we are, and the more people the Emperor Datu suspects. Once he takes action against others, the situation will inevitably be chaotic, and we will You can fish in troubled waters and get out of it.”

The subordinates were silent for a while.

Cang Tao said: "Why, you think what I said is wrong?"

"No, what Wang said makes sense. But, Wang, does the reason why you don't want to leave have anything to do with that woman from the Lin family?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"Since our people have been closely guarded by Da Tu, you can no longer sneak to the Lin Mansion, and you can no longer see her."

"……so what?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I heard the news that Mrs. Lin was seriously ill when I went out to buy supplies today."

Cang Tao was studying the pattern he had made with black and white pieces on the chessboard, when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head: "What did you say?!"
