Zhang Xiao 'er's eyes, which had just calmed down, were a little unsettled. He wanted me to be the mole. If Zhang Rang knew about this, I'm afraid I would die without a complete corpse, right? I don't believe that the Cloud Marquis would dare to kill me in Luoyang!
"Cloud Marquis, do you know that if I tell Attendant Zhang about this, you'll be doomed?”
Little Zhang was not confident in himself, but in Zhang Rang. In a nutshell, Zhang Rang's power was so great that a mere eunuch like him dared to be so arrogant.
Zhao Yun walked over and picked up a teacup with one hand. She exerted a little force and it immediately shattered into pieces with a bang. Zhang 'er was so frightened that his body subconsciously trembled.
"Little Zhang, this isn't the palace. No one will know even if I kill you.”
Zhao Yun had just kidnapped him, so he was more afraid of her. After thinking about it, he could only agree verbally first and then go back to take revenge on Lin Chuan.
But who was Jia Xu? How could he not know the darkness of a eunuch? He casually took out a small box from under the table and opened it in front of Zhang 'er. Inside were five stacks of gold cakes neatly arranged. It was estimated to be at least 500 gold coins.
The facts proved that Jia Xu's investigation was completely correct. After seeing the gold cake, Zhang 'er's body moved a little, and his eyes were filled with light. He could not help but pick up a piece to touch it.
Five hundred gold was insignificant to a thief like Zhang Rang, but to Zhang Xiao 'er, it was an astronomical figure.
"Cloud Marquis, you want me to be your spy. You know how ruthless Zhang Rang is. Once he finds out, I'm afraid I'll die without a complete corpse.
Moreover, Zhang Rang treats me like my own flesh and blood. He has a deep relationship with me. In my heart, he is like my father…If you want me to betray him, you have to pay more!”
Zhang 'er's move almost made Lin Chuan spit out a mouthful of blood.
Anything that money could solve was not a problem. Lin Chuan pulled out a bigger box from the corner and opened it in front of Zhang 'er.
Not only were there gold cakes, but there were also countless jade articles and antiques. Even Zhang Rang himself could not resist such a generous gift, let alone Zhang 'er.
Sure enough, Zhang Xiaoer stretched out his trembling hand, and his mouth was so shocked that he could not close it. After a long time, he laughed loudly and said,
"I couldn't even find out what underwear he was wearing!”
Lin Chuan smiled coldly and prepared to leave with Jia Xu and Zhao Yun. Before they left, Zhao Yun turned her back to Little Zhang and warned,
"The defense of the inner court of the Imperial Palace is so tight that I don't think I can enter an uninhabited place. If you dare to have any disloyalty, Zhao Yun guarantees that your head will be moved at any time.”
With this chess piece, Lin Chuan would know everything that happened in Luoyang in the future.
Of course, there was a delay in the information. After all, Yanmen Prefecture was thousands of miles away from Luoyang. In order to receive the information faster, Lin Chuan had asked Zhao Yun to select a few white-robed soldiers to hide in Luoyang and be responsible for distributing the information.
……
The next day, after settling everything, Lin Chuan brought Jia Xu and the other three to prepare to leave Luoyang and rush to Yanmen County.
When he arrived at the entrance of the military camp, Lin Chuan saw a girl in a green dress sitting under a tree not far away. She was sweating profusely.
"It's her? You guys go in and prepare first. We'll set off in an hour.”
"Yes, sir."
Zhao Yun and the others entered the military camp while Lin Chuan walked towards the girl.
Looking at the girl leaning against the tree with her eyes closed, Lin Chuan had an idea. He moistened his throat and tried his best to imitate Wang Yun's tone.
"Chan 'Er, why did you sneak out again?”
Diao Chan's eyes instantly opened and she jumped up. She did not even look at Lin Chuan and immediately lowered her head. She said uneasily,
"I…I…"
"Hahaha…"
Lin Chuan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Diao Chan's aggrieved face.
"Great! Cloud Marquis, I've been waiting for you here for more than two hours, and you dare to tease me!”
Compared to Cai Yan's elegant and dignified appearance, Diao Chan was the lively and cute type. Most importantly, she seemed to have a natural closeness with Lin Chuan. It was not like they had just met.
"I was just joking with you. Why are you here? Why don't you go into the barracks?"
"What are you talking about? Your soldiers are just like you. They're all ruffians. I already said that I'm your friend, but they still won't let me in. Hmph!”
Are you blaming me for the strict discipline of the White Robe Army?
"Alright, I'll apologize to you, okay?”
"That's more like it."
Diao Chan smiled contentedly. In the summer breeze, she looked very charming.
"By the way, you said that you waited for me for more than two hours. Is there anything?”
Diao Chan told Lin Chuan everything that she had heard yesterday. She also explained that Cai Yan wanted to come with her. However, Cai Yong was extremely dissatisfied with Cai Yan's performance yesterday and personally watched over him. He was so anxious that Cai Yan cried.
"Don't worry, I already know what you're talking about.”
Lin Chuan smiled lightly. He probably knew more than Wang Yun and the others.
"I think Yanmen Prefecture must be very dangerous, right? Sister Cai Yan is very worried about you and asked me to remind you to be careful.”
Diao Chan looked at Lin Chuan seriously.
"Oh? She's very worried about me. What about you?”
"I'm also very worried…"
Diao Chan's face turned red from Lin Chuan's teasing. She lowered her head shyly like a little girl next door and didn't speak.
"But it doesn't matter. Cloud Marquis, you're so capable. I believe that when you arrive at Yanmen Prefecture, you'll definitely kill all those corrupt officials!”
This little girl was quite good at talking.
"Oh right, big sister Cai Yan couldn't come, so she asked me to bring you a letter.”
Thanks to the system's information, Lin Chuan could not only recognize the characters of this era, but he could also write them.
"Marquis Yun Zhong, this trip to Yanmen is difficult and dangerous. The political arena is different from the battlefield. There are not only open spears but also hidden arrows. I hope you will take care. I will burn incense and pray every day for your return.”
"Sister asked me to bring this portrait to you. She drew it herself.”
Diao Chan took out another painting. On it was Cai Yan's self-portrait. It was extremely lifelike and penetrating. It was comparable to the high-definition digital cameras of the later generations. She was indeed worthy of the name of a talented woman.
"Tell her that when I restore the order in Yanmen Prefecture, she can reply. Of course, she is also welcome to come to Yanmen Prefecture.”
It was an ancient legend, but unexpectedly, Lin Chuan encountered it.
"I want to go too!"
Diao Chan did not admit defeat and straightened her chest. This girl was really quite active.
"Sigh, he sent me a letter and a portrait, but you don't have any sincerity. How can I invite you?”
Lin Chuan looked at Diao Chan with a resentful expression.
"I…I personally made a battle robe for the Cloud Marquis.”
Diao Chan? Handmade? Looking at your stuttering face, who would believe you? With her restless personality, she probably doesn't even know how to knit.
He turned around and took out a fiery-red cape and battle robe from a box behind him. There was a phoenix embroidered on the battle robe. In this era, this was the symbol of the God of War and also the symbol of invincibility.
However, Lin Chuan did not accept it. Instead, he looked at Diao Chan teasingly and gestured for her to put it on for him.
"Hmph, you're really arrogant."
Despite her words, Diao Chan still leaned forward and wrapped her cloak around Lin Chuan's body. She then tied the cloak on both sides of Lin Chuan's armor.
At such a close distance, one could smell the fragrance, making one feel a little confused.
Lin Chuan's breathing became heavy. Then, he grabbed Diao Chan's hand, causing her face to turn red.
"Very soon, after I finish the problem in Yanmen Prefecture, I will come back to see you.”
It was a joke to ask these two weak women to travel thousands of miles, but Lin Chuan was very serious this time.
After Diao Chan nodded, Pei Yuanqing's voice sounded from afar.
"Lord, let's go!"
This kid would always be a boorish person who didn't know how to be romantic and spoiled the scenery.
"Alright, I'm leaving. You should go back too. If you're late, Lord Wang will scold you again.”
Diao Chan nodded and stared at Lin Chuan from under the tree until her fluttering cloak was completely covered by the forest in the distance. She then muttered in disappointment,
"You must come back."
