Lin Shu was quite impressed by Ma Jingcong's approach. Usually, eunuchs in the palace liked yellow and white things very much. If they were allowed to come out to do something, they would definitely search the place and peel off a layer of skin. However, along the way, Ma Jingcong was very clean except for eating and living in the courier station. He did not have the exaggerated style of eunuchs at all. He was not interested in things like gold and silver. Sometimes, some officials wanted to give him some hard work money. He also rejected all of them.
However, this only made Lin Shu even more wary, especially after Ma Jingcong's words. His loyalty to the Emperor of Daliang was deeply ingrained in his bones. If he showed any signs of discomfort or dissatisfaction with the Emperor of Daliang in front of Ma Jingcong, Ma Jingcong would definitely not hold back. He was afraid that his head would be on the ground when he returned.
"Chief Ma is right!" Lin Shu replied indifferently.
"The Northern Borderline is not as good as our Jinling. On the way here, I've changed a few sets of clothes. I won't keep General Lin here any longer. I need to wash up and rest early.”
"Lin Shu, take your leave!"
Lin Shu returned to his room. He wasn't very tired on the way, but the situation was delicate. He wouldn't leave the Courier Station easily to avoid his every move being seen by others and causing trouble.
In the dead of night, Lin Shu had already fallen asleep. Suddenly, he vaguely heard the sound of bricks on the roof. This sound was very soft. If he hadn't been vigilant and had received the help of the system, his physical fitness had greatly improved. He probably wouldn't have noticed this very soft sound.
His heart moved, but he did not do anything. He just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
He heard the sound of bricks rubbing against each other. Through his slightly narrowed eyes, he saw a thin golden line slowly extending from the roof. The golden line slowly fell in front of him.
Lin Shu didn't understand. What was this golden thread? Could it kill people?
He remained vigilant and silently observed the other party's every move. Suddenly, he saw a drop of water slowly fall down along the golden line. Looking at the direction of the golden line, the drop of water fell on the corner of his mouth.
"Poison!" Lin Shu immediately understood that the other party was using this method to feed him poison.
Now that she knew the other party's purpose, Lin Shu completely calmed down. She sneered in her heart and suddenly turned over to sleep. She even let out a low sound, as if this was really an instinctive action of falling asleep.
The water droplet fell on his pillow, and the person on it seemed to be stunned for a moment. He did not expect Lin Shu to suddenly turn over in her sleep and dodge his poison. He gently moved the golden thread on it and wanted to aim it at Lin Shu's mouth again, but he found that Lin Shu, who was sleeping sideways, happened to block his mouth and nose. It was impossible to release the poison again.
Lin Shu waited quietly. Since the other party wanted to kill him, he would definitely not give up. He would definitely have other tricks up his sleeve. Unexpectedly, after a while, the tiles above his head rang. The person actually ran away. Almost instinctively, Lin Shu wanted to get up and chase after him. On second thought, since the other party had started to attack, he would definitely not stop. If he chased after him, the other party would know that his whereabouts were exposed. The next time he attacked, he would definitely use a more intense method and be more careful. He was an open enemy in the dark. It was even more difficult to guard against them. Anyway, he was already on guard. As long as he caught that person and forced them to reveal their lair, it would not be too late to make a plan.
He suppressed the thought of killing him and lay quietly. However, he did not sleep that night.
The next morning, Lin Shu walked out of the room with sleepy eyes and saw Ma Jingcong stretching his body in the courtyard. When he saw him, he smiled and said,"General Lin doesn't seem to have had a good rest last night. Could it be that the environment here isn't good?”
Lin Shu's heart skipped a beat. She smiled." No matter how bad the environment is, it's not better than a military tent at the border. It's just that last night, when I was asleep, a cat climbed onto the roof and made a noise for the whole night."”
"Cat? However, he didn't know where this wild cat came from and disturbed General Lin's rest. He would scold this post officer for letting this wild cat run in!”
Lin Shu observed Ma Jingcong's expression and realized that he was indeed at a loss, as if he didn't know anything. She felt strange. Could it be that Ma Jingcong didn't arrange all this? Even Ma Jingcong didn't know?
Usually, when such a thing was suddenly exposed, there would be some surface signs. Only those who were extremely scheming would not leave behind any traces. However, it seemed that the old eunuch in the palace was not so scheming.
"Looks like he doesn't know!" Lin Shu thought to herself,'After murdering a meritorious official, the fewer people who know about this, the better. Moreover, the harem is in chaos. Emperor Liang won't let a eunuch know too much!”
Lin Shu chatted with Ma Jingcong for a while. After the officials of Shunde sent them off, they set off again.
After passing through Shunde, there were many official roads along the way. The speed of the journey was much faster. Ma Jingcong rarely left the palace, but when he arrived in Shanxi, there were many good scenery along the way. The old eunuch was quite knowledgeable and enjoyed the scenery along the way. When he talked with Lin Shu, he knew more about the allusions of some places than Lin Shu. Lin Shu praised him a little and immediately became proud. He said that he was bored in the palace and often read some books. He knew quite a lot about this, probably not below those so-called Hanlin scholars.
