Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 156 Even if the horse dies, it will still go on.

On the day when the idle man Yang Yuan slapped Qin Changjiao in Banjing Hall, Qin Hui and Wanyan Zheng had just reached an agreement.

On that day, Wanyan Zheng sent someone to rush back to the northern country overnight to get such a letter.

The letter was just delivered these two days.

The "Blood Pagoda" warrior of the Jin Dynasty who was wearing a straw raincoat and an iron-bone flower and followed Eunuch Li to the meeting hall of the "Qiyun Society" was the messenger.

After reaching an agreement with Wanyan Zheng, Qin Hui arranged for his men to begin paving the way for sending letters to the palace.

He instructed the great merchant and pirate Ju Huaguan, also known as Guan Hao, to secretly contact and bribe some officers of the imperial guards with large sums of money.

When the letter from the Jin people arrived, Ju Huaguan handed it over to the bribed imperial guards officer and secretly sent it into the palace.

Although the step of "paving the way" was extremely costly, Qin Hui actually did not want the letter to be delivered to the recipient, as it would be of no use to him.

What he needed was for the letter to be "intercepted" by the government.

Some of the generals he had won over and bribed in the imperial guards over the years would be the ones to discover the Juhua Temple conspiracy and successfully "intercept" the secret letter.

Based on Qin Hui's understanding of Emperor Zhao's temperament and character, if Emperor Zhao got this letter, he would definitely have a mental breakdown or even lose his mind.

The secret letters were delivered to the palace by soldiers led by several current generals of the imperial guards, who were also promoted during their tenures.

A few people like this colluded with each other to pass things into the palace.

Even if what they passed on was a bottle of harmless rouge or a jar of non-toxic wine, it would be absolutely intolerable.

What’s more, it was such a secret letter that touched Zhao Gou’s weak spot and completely broke his defenses.

Those imperial guards officers who delivered the letter were abandoned pawns in Qin Hui's hands and were doomed to die. Confiscating their property and exterminating their clan were the least they could do.

And the generals of the Three Yamen Imperial Guards who command heavy troops will inevitably be implicated.

Given Zhao Gou's sensitive and suspicious character, the soldiers they led and the generals they promoted secretly delivering such taboo things to the palace would make the emperor lose trust in them, even if they were completely unaware of it.

In a rage, Zhao Gou would dismiss them without regard for the consequences and deprive them of their military power, and the people Qin Hui had planted would take the opportunity to occupy the positions vacated by these generals. Afterwards, even if the emperor calmed down and realized that something was wrong, it would be too late.

Once the military power is in the hands of his people, if you want him to hand it over, he is not like those loyal generals. How could he allow himself to be manipulated and hand it over?
Qin Hui's entire plan can be said to be interconnected and flawless.

However, during this process, many harmless but annoying things happened.

For example, Wanyan Quxing died, and Deputy Envoy Han also died.

For example, Ju Huaguan's identity was exposed and he was forced to flee to the sea. He had to hand over the unfinished matters to the people of Qiyun Society to handle.

For example, almost all of Qin Hui's cronies in the National Security Agency were caught in one fell swoop, leaving Qin Hui without his eyes and ears.

For example, the "Three Gen" killer he trained is now in trouble...

But fortunately, all these troubles have not yet affected his plan of "moving three mountains".

As long as this plan can be implemented perfectly, the military, politics, and finances of the Song Dynasty will all be in his hands.

What would it matter if the three-hour killer, the National Security Bureau, and all these lackeys were gone?

At that time, he was the uncrowned emperor, his words were laws, and he didn't need these lackeys.

Madam Wan looked at Ouyang Lun and saw that he was a handsome man with a strong body. Unfortunately, he would soon become a dead man, a "dead spy" who was unaware that he was a "dead spy".

Madam Wan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Ju needs General Ouyang to pass this letter to the palace and hand it to the Queen Mother."

As she spoke, she fished out the complete letter sealed with wax from her sleeve and pushed it towards Ouyang Lun.

Ouyang Lun frowned and did not take the secret letter immediately. Instead, he asked, "Who wrote this letter and what does it say?"

Madam Wan said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is just a woman in the inner palace, she has nothing to do with state affairs. What can a letter sent to her mean? It's just some gossip about family happiness and family matters, it's nothing serious."

When Ouyang Lun heard this, his face changed and his breathing became heavier: "Family chat, family matters?"

Madam Wan still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of coldness: "Whatever the commander guessed, you don't have to say it."

"As long as you know that the Queen Mother gets this letter, she will burn it immediately after reading it and will never let it remain in the world, what else does the military commander have to be afraid of?"

At this point, she smiled sarcastically: "Each of you who participated in this will receive more money than you can spend in three lifetimes. As the saying goes, wealth and honor come with risk. You are also a well-known man, so you dare not take this risk?"

Ouyang Lun had no way out. After having more diplomatic dealings with Ju Yuan and taking some benefits from him, he realized that Ju Yuan was actually a big pirate and that his "business" was mainly smuggling between Song and Jin.

Once the matter is exposed, the worst that can happen to Ju Yuanwai is to escape to the sea, but they will be in trouble and their future will be bleak.

For him, who has worked hard to climb to where he is today, this is something he is unwilling to face even if he dies.

He took the letter tremblingly and murmured, "Is it really... just an ordinary letter from home?"

Madam Wan rolled her eyes at him and said disdainfully, "What else? The Queen Mother lives deep in the palace. After all, she is just a woman. What can she do? This is really just an ordinary family letter. My master often travels between Song and Jin. King Guangping of Jin asked him for help. How dare he refuse?"

Prince Guangping?

Ouyang Lun's heart trembled, and when he thought of a rumor, he became more certain of his judgment.

But he couldn't turn back.

Ouyang Lun gritted his teeth and put the letter in his arms.

"Okay! After this incident, we are done with each other. From now on, we will never see each other again!" Ouyang Lun stood up and was about to leave. Madam Wan smiled and said, "The commander hasn't said when you can deliver this letter?"

Ouyang Lun was also cautious and sneered, "Do you think you can just bring in anything from the outside into the palace? How can I tell you the exact time? Anyway, I will give you a definite answer within three days."

Wan Fengyi said with a smile: "Well, I wish General Ouyang a safe journey."

Ouyang Lun snorted coldly and walked out of the private room.

At this time, the pair of female sumo wrestlers on the stage had finished warming up, and a pair of muscular male sumo wrestlers came on stage.

Madam Wan sat down on the chair again, crossed her legs, and began to crack melon seeds leisurely.

……

Li Shishi takes a long time to take a bath.

Chen Erniang was lying on a cool mat at the door, with "Bamboo Lady" as her pillow, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.

When she was about to fall asleep, Chen Erniang was still thinking, why are the women in the city so fond of cleanliness? They must be bald after washing.
Then she fell asleep.

Li Shishi changed into silk underwear and came out of the bathroom. Her feet, wearing bamboo shoes, made light and crisp tapping sounds on the floor.

The calves under the skirt outlined a beautiful curve, which was gently brushed by the soft skirt, full of lively charm.

The beautiful feet in the bamboo shoes are as beautiful as jade, and the smooth skin has a translucent luster.

She took a shower in a hurry tonight and there was no hot water left.

But she just wanted to use some cool water to cool down the hot feeling in her heart.

Twice, twice already, both times she was aroused by wonderful feelings she had never experienced before.

Although this was a feeling she had never experienced before, she instinctively knew that she... could have flown higher!

She was able to climb onto the rainbow, but every time she was just one step away, and then her boiling body and mind would be completely suppressed.

This made her feel really uncomfortable.

It should be... because Erlang's skills are still shallow, right?

But...but if Erlang's skills are profound, will he...also be able to sense that kind of wonderful feeling?

This made Shishi both want to and be afraid of experiencing that feeling again.

She walked to the dressing table, bent her slender waist slightly, and sat on the stool.

The soft silk pajamas formed a curve at her lower back, and then bulged out into a round arc downwards.

Li Shishi bit her thin lips lightly and hesitated for a long time before she stretched out her hand and moved the lamp closer.

Then she turned the reversed mirror back to the front.

A flawlessly beautiful face was reflected in the mirror.

Her face was flushed, her eyes were squinting, and her eyes were tearful.

Li Shishi quietly moved closer, staring at herself in the mirror without blinking, and gently stroked her cheek with her spring onion-like fingers.

That’s right, it’s not an illusion, she really looks younger and her skin is tighter.

That sloppy old Taoist priest actually did not lie to her. This skill is truly miraculous!

For a moment, Li Shishi looked at herself in the mirror, and she was a little dazed.

Who doesn't want to stay young forever, especially for a beautiful woman.

But she had nothing in her possession until now, when she accidentally mastered this great secret.

No, if that's the case, her previous practice of this technique should have been effective, but not as good... far less effective than the effect of practicing together with Erlang, who also practiced this technique.

Taoist Chen taught me the entire Dormant Dragon Technique, but he didn't allow me to teach it to others...

I’m afraid, I’m afraid he also knows that I won’t break my promise easily, but I won’t stick to the rules either.

If I break my promise to him one day, then this person must be someone I value enough to break my promise to.

Such a person is certainly not an outsider.

Erlang, are you an outsider?
Li Shishi turned the mirror over with a "snap". She didn't want to see herself in the mirror.

Because the girl in the mirror no longer looks like herself.

Tomorrow... you can still accompany him and protect him, right?
When she lay on the couch, her body was swaying like a beautiful Jiangnan landscape. Miss Shishi bit her lower lip and thought silently: "I just want to look younger. Anyway, he doesn't know. Since no one knows, what is there to be afraid of!"

Green locust trees and tall willows swallow new cicadas, the fragrant breeze begins to blow into the strings, and smoke is sinking into the water under the green gauze window.

The sound of chess disturbs my daytime sleep, and after a light rain, the lotus leaves turn over.

The pomegranate flowers are about to bloom, the jade basin is filled with clear spring water, the pearls are broken but round...
