The Bad Girl's Quick Transmigration System: Traveling Back and Forth
Chapter 662 Blood Clouds Burning the Sky: Jade Girl's Elegy - Bait and Trap
Lin Wei lived a remarkably low-key life after her resurrection. She altered her appearance and, as an ordinary scholar, reestablished herself in the corners of the capital. Using her past life's memories, she avoided unnecessary trouble while secretly contacting those who had been loyal to her in her previous life or who had similarly been oppressed by Zhao Tianlei.
She knew Zhao Tianlei would inevitably be aware of her return, and she was prepared for any potential threats. She even began secretly investigating the source of the so-called "evidence" in her previous life's "treason" case. She felt a vague connection to the Hanbei Khanate in the northern border, which made her even more vigilant.
Just as Lin Wei was carefully planning, trying to find something to hold against Zhao Tianlei and looking for allies, a piece of news came that forced her to temporarily change her plans.
Urgent news came from the northern border that the Hanbei Khanate was gathering a large army and was ready to take action. Several towns on the border had been subjected to small-scale looting, and the border troops had suffered heavy losses. They requested the court to send reinforcements as soon as possible and provide a batch of new military equipment drawings to deal with the impact of the Hanbei cavalry.
This news caused an uproar in the court. Zhao Tianlei immediately submitted a petition, volunteering to lead the army north. He also logically stated that the blueprints for the new military equipment were of great importance and must be personally escorted to the northern border by the most reliable and capable personnel and delivered to him personally.
The emperor, now leaning heavily on Zhao Tianlei and given the real strain on the border, approved his request. As for the person to escort the military equipment blueprints, Zhao Tianlei, despite popular opinion, recommended a "young scholar" who had "recently" emerged from the Ministry of Personnel's assessment, demonstrating exceptional talent. This was none other than the concealed Lin Wei.
This recommendation surprised everyone who knew Lin Wei (in her previous life) and also set off alarm bells in Lin Wei herself.
"What does Zhao Tianlei mean by this?" Lin Wei was reading a secret report under the lamp when she received the appointment. She almost immediately understood Zhao Tianlei's sinister intentions.
This was a trap, a blatant trap set for her!
Escorting military blueprints to the war-torn northern border was an inherently dangerous mission. Zhao Tianlei's recommendation of her, seemingly a show of "selecting talent regardless of background," actually placed her in a dangerous position. If she refused, it would be disobeying orders, giving Zhao Tianlei a reason to eliminate her immediately. If she went, the journey to the northern border was long and fraught with danger, giving Zhao Tianlei ample opportunity to tamper with her en route, resulting in an "accidental" death or simply allowing her to fall into the hands of the Hanbei people, solidifying the charge of "collaboration."
"What a Zhao Tianlei! He's even more direct and ruthless than in his last life." Lin Wei sneered. She was almost certain that Zhao Tianlei wouldn't be satisfied with simply letting her die on the road. Since he dared to recommend her, he must have a more elaborate and sinister plan.
She pondered for a moment. To go, or not to go?
She didn't want to go and just sit there and wait for death. Her revenge hadn't been avenged, and the truth hadn't been revealed.
Going in would be like entering a tiger's den, extremely dangerous. Zhao Tianlei would definitely lay a tight net.
"Go!" A flicker of determination flashed in Lin Wei's eyes. She wanted to see what "surprise" Zhao Tianlei had prepared this time. Furthermore, this trip to the northern border might be her chance to uncover the mystery of her past life's "collaboration with the enemy," contact the Hanbei Khanate, and discover Zhao Tianlei's flaws.
"However, Zhao Tianlei, you want me to die, but I insist on living. Moreover, I will return this 'gift' you gave me intact."
Lin Wei began making secret preparations. She knew that since Zhao Tianlei dared to ask her to escort the military equipment blueprints, he would inevitably tamper with them or plant spies within the escort team. She quietly replaced the genuine blueprints with a carefully forged one that appeared authentic but was actually flawed. At the same time, she contacted her hidden forces, instructing them to closely monitor Zhao Tianlei's movements, especially anything related to the Northern Territory.
On the eve of her departure, Lin Wei once again stood by the window, gazing at the waning moon in the sky. Her aura quietly flowed, the zhenqi within her body more condensed and profound than before her resurrection. Having experienced life and death, her understanding of the martial arts had also reached a new level. Although her realm remained at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, her actual combat power had already far surpassed that of her peers.
"A master of the Heavenly Realm... Zhao Tianlei, do you think a master of the Heavenly Realm would die so easily?" Lin Wei whispered to herself, her eyes gleaming with confidence. She was confident she could handle any danger, even a killing spree set by Zhao Tianlei.
However, she still underestimated the extent of Zhao Tianlei's madness. She anticipated the danger, but she didn't anticipate the scale of the danger, which was actually so outrageous.
