lethal arsenal

Chapter 53
Just when the atmosphere between the brothers became more and more dull, sliding towards an extremely dangerous edge.

Lin Dong said in a deep voice: "Brother, you told me earlier that it is difficult for you to join the Hunan army now. Brother's words are not pleasant, but I still hope that you can answer——We are a rebel now, and the Hunan army is powerful. Even if we vote in the past, what benefits can we plan? How can we gain trust?"

"Based on the kindness you had under Zuo Gong's sect back then, I'm afraid it wasn't enough! Besides, Zuo Gong is powerful, but now the person in charge of the Hunan Army has the surname Zeng."

With a calm voice, Lin Dong expressed his concerns.

After hearing some talk, Luo Xingyun beside him breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is talk, it proves that the matter has been accomplished. Fortunately, the result he feared most did not happen.

There was an unconcealable joy in Ma Xinyi's eyes and said: "You see I'm covered in blood, guess what I did tonight?"

Not only did Lao Ma not answer Lin Dong's question, but he asked another question.

Lin Dong is not a god, so of course he can't guess what he did, but he still followed Ma Xinyi's words and said, "I guess big brother killed a lot of people tonight? Who are they?"

"The Wang family, the Li family, have been slaughtered."

Ma Xinyi's voice was chilling.

The hair on Lin Dong's body was about to explode, and he directly slaughtered the local squire. This old horse has to go all the way to the dark - either live or die!

There is no other choice, and this time there is really no possibility of redemption.

Once there is a problem with the Hunan Army, the world is so big that there is nowhere to go.

Lin Dong thought so.

"Third brother, your foundation is very shallow, and you don't know yet. The Hunan Army is not the only one in the imperial court. Zeng Gong's layout of the world is like an old tree with intertwined roots, piercing the Qing court from top to bottom. Most of the imperial court is composed of Zeng's people, either received his favor, or are his relatives, or were directly recommended by him."

"Even if it's Mr. Zuo, if you write to scold him, or even say that you want to cut off contact with him, you still count as a member of the Hunan Army."

"It's just that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is still in existence, and the court is of one mind, but what if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is destroyed? All the princes in the hall recognize the Hunan Army's flag? The master of the world, is he not afraid of changing his course and changing his surname?"

"So the imperial court has always deployed another team to gather the remaining forces other than the Hunan Army and restrain Duke Zeng. At a critical moment in the future, it will not be possible for someone to ascend to the top and destroy the country. This team is Yuan Sanjia, Yuan Gong. The No. 1 family in the Qing court, whose ancestors can be traced back to Yuan Shao in the Three Kingdoms period!"

"If King Hong Tian's mortal enemy is Zeng Gong, then the Nian Army's mortal enemy is the current servant of the Ministry of War——Yuan Gong."

Ma Xinyi's voice was a little lukewarm, yet smug.

"Brother, do you know Yuan Gong?"

Lin Dong couldn't help asking.

Ma Xinyi smiled lightly and said: "I used to be under Zuo Gongmen, holding half of the disciple ceremony, so I can barely be regarded as Zuo Gongmen."

"When I was serving Duke Zuo, I had some meetings with Duke Yuan, and he appreciated my talent very much. However, at that time, after all, it was too late to meet, so it can be said that there was no fate."

"At the beginning, when we crawled out of the dead, I felt aggrieved and wanted to serve Yuan Gong in the past, but a small official and a small position, no soldiers and no armor, so what to do after passing? In the early years, in order to follow Zuo Gong, I paid for it out of my own pocket and pulled out [-] strong men. Now, going to Yuan is nothing."

"So—I've been waiting for an opportunity, and now is it!"

Ma Xinyi gritted his teeth fiercely and said, an unspeakable madness emerged from his body.

The first star of the Big Dipper, whose name is Tanlang, shines brightly, and the faint beam of light seems to be projected on Ma Xinyi.

What was even more exaggerated was that a black-scaled constrictor with changed color flew out from behind Ma Xinyi.

Tude's Dragon Qi Evolution was originally a yellow-scaled boa constrictor, but now there is a black scaled boa constrictor that is as dark as an abyss and bottomless.

This giant python hovered above Ma Xinyi's head, neighing!

It can even be described as clearly visible. On the body of the snake, which is thicker than its arms, the fine scales flow like water.

The boa's figure was fleeting, but it still left traces in Lin Dong's heart.

What a Ma Xinyi!

I didn't expect the layout to be so deep.

This step by step must have been planned by him.

"I will give you a letter, and you will forward it to Duke Yuan. It must be handed over to him. This is related to the upcoming battle in Luzhou. In addition, Duke Yuan is now in Hefei."

"Bao Chaoting's army has entered the hut, intending to fight Chen Yucheng to the death! Miao Peilin is watching, and Yuan Gong has rushed to Hefei to fight!"

"But if there is a chance to snatch the monstrous results, he will definitely tear a piece of flesh from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."

Ma Xinyi slowly added.

"Send a letter."

Lin Dong murmured that he understood his mission, but the problem was—"Brother, now I am the chief supervisor appointed by the King of England, how can I escape!"

Lin Dong has already moved, and what he has to do now is to think about how to perfect Ma Xinyi's plan.

"Guess why I wanted to kill the Wang family, the Li family?"

Ma Xinyi asked again.

Lin Dong was thoughtful: "Back the blame?"

Ma Xinyi raised his neck: "Let them take the blame! At the beginning of June of the Xinyou year, the gentry in Yangchang County rebelled and sent Yilin assassins to assassinate me, the commander-in-chief. A group of landlords and old fortunes actually intended to collude with the Hunan Army! I, Ma Xinyi, suffered three wounds and couldn't get up. The second brother Zhang Wenxiang took over the power of a county, and the third brother Lin Yuanjue pursued the murderer for thousands of miles!"

"Yuanjue, you are the chief supervisor ordered by the King of England."

"Supervising the army is not only about internal supervision, but also a series of important tasks such as war, intelligence warfare, catching spies, and dispatching killers. If I am assassinated, it seems reasonable for you to pursue the murderer from thousands of miles away."

Ma Xinyi preached with confidence.

"During this period, no one will stop you."

"Whoever stops you is a traitor, a traitor to the Taiping Army!"

"However, you have to remember that your time is at most three to five days. Chen Yucheng has ulterior motives and deep suspicions. I'm afraid I won't be able to delay it for too long."

"Especially during the current war, he originally intended to transfer me to the frontline battlefield. At this time, if something like this happened to me, even if it was true, he would probably send someone to watch me soon and take charge of the overall situation of the Luzhou portal. So, you must be quick!"

Ma Xinyi urged repeatedly.

"Should I go alone?"

Lin Dong deliberately asked back, in fact, he guessed that Luo Xingyun must be with him this time.

Luo Xingyun immediately gave a wry smile: "Master Lin, don't be joking, of course I am with you. I am familiar with the route from Yangchang to Hefei. If the speed is fast, two horses can go back and forth in one day and one night. The time is more than enough!"

Luo Xingyun's voice was extremely firm.

"You have gambled all your belongings and put your head on the table, Mr. Luo Da."

Lin Dong laughed at him.

But to be honest, he really admires this guy. He is obviously a squire's family. He is obedient.

But he just wants to seek wealth and honor, he is almost the same lunatic as Ma Xinyi.

"How to reach the sky without gambling or fighting!"

"My Luo family is in this position. There is no way to advance. If we retreat, we will disperse! Today, the world is in chaos. If you don't fight or fight, sooner or later the family will be reduced to ruins."

"Emperor Xianfeng has gone down, and the new emperor is enthroned! Amnesty, if you can seize this opportunity, General Ma will wash away the stains on your body and make a great contribution! I, the Luo family, can't be regarded as a minister of the king? Yuan Gong has no generals under his command. I believe that General Ma can take this opportunity to ascend to heaven."

Luo Xingyun deliberately elevated Ma Xinyi.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, you start now."

Ma Xinyi's voice sank, directly interrupting the two people's flattery.

Who knows!At this time, Lin Dong raised his neck and said, "No."

Ma Xinyi and Luo Xingyun's faces immediately changed color.

"Give me a stick of incense!"

Lin Dong said quickly, startled by their expressions.

"I have to tell my family that I'm safe."

Lin Dong spoke again slowly.

"Okay, hurry up."

Ma Xinyi twitched his face and said so.
