When the city quieted down and the full moon was clear, there was a sound from the window. A figure jumped in from outside.
"There's some snacks and some sake on the table. You haven't recovered yet, so drink less.”
"Young Master!"
Lin Xiao didn't even raise his head when he spoke, but when the Startling Salamander called out, it gave her a fright.
When she raised her head, she only saw that the Startling Salamander's beautiful eyes were flashing with faint tears, and its thin cherry lips were tightly bitten.
"Did someone bully you? Who was it? Young Master, go and kill him."
"No, it's not that. It's just that, Ni, I've never met anyone who treats me so well. I've made a fool of myself in front of Young Master."
"Silly girl, you scared me. From now on, we'll be a family. Eat something first and tell me about tonight's situation.”
Touching the girl's soft hair, Jing Salamander was like an obedient cat. After sweeping the snacks on the plate clean, he slowly told her what happened tonight.
"Just as Young Master expected, Ah Ni has inquired about a few places. The most important thing to talk about in the past few days is the case of the ghost soldiers.”
"It is said that a few days ago, the 100,000 gold taels that were escorted by the two kings to the border were suddenly robbed by ghost soldiers in the Soul Break Valley. The 100,000 gold taels turned into air in the rain and disappeared."
"Young Master, do you think this was really done by the ghost soldiers?”
Lin Xiao shook his head at the Startling Salamander's doubts.
"You don't need to talk about supernatural powers. Everything has to be seen through the surface. As far as I know, there are two factions in the Han court. One faction is led by General Ji Wuye, and the other faction is led by the civil minister Zhang Kedi.”
"That's right, but what does this have to do with the sound of the ghost soldier tribulation?”
Looking at the anxious Startling Salamander, Lin Xiao waved his hand and poured a glass of sake, indicating for the girl to calm down.
"After the incident of the ghost soldiers, five chief examiners died mysteriously in a row. Their deaths were miserable, and people said that it was the ghost soldiers who caused trouble and came to take revenge.”
"Indeed, it's exactly the same as what I heard.”
"However, the five people who died were all civil officials of Zhang Kai Di's faction and were also his right-hand men. Someone is using the ghost soldiers case to eliminate Zhang Kai Di's faction.”
"It's Ji Wuye! I understand, Young Master. Are you saying that this ghost soldier case is just a gimmick and the most important thing is to eliminate the opponent's strength?”
"That's one of the reasons. Ji Wuye is quite arrogant. He wants all the money and money!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiao looked at the most eye-catching building in the city. It was the Sparrow Terrace built in the General's Residence.
His role was to abduct women and use them as a tool for Ji Wuye to vent. From this, it could be seen that this general had a lot of power in Han Country.
"However, what's the use of asking us to investigate this matter, Young Master?”
" Good question, Ni. The thing I want is with Han Fei, but if you want it, you must help Han Fei fulfill his wish.”
"What wish?"
"But it's impossible, so we can only help Han Fei.”
The more Startling Salamander listened, the more confused he became. What did he mean by helping and not helping? His Young Master was too good at strategy and was too profound.
Your city is too complicated. It's still better for us in the countryside. However, the roads in the countryside are also slippery, and people's hearts are also complicated.
"So, what should Young Master do next?”
" Han Fei will definitely take over this matter. If he wants to enter the royal court and hold power through this matter, he must choose a faction. At this time, Han Fei's childhood playmates, Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, are the best leaders.”
"Then what should we do?"
"Easy. Just wait for Han Fei to come tomorrow. I'm curious how the other force in Xinzheng is helping Han Fei.”
Lin Xiao was almost certain about the other force, but he hadn't made a decision yet. He wanted to see how they would help Han Fei.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the rise of a third party was no different from ascending to the heavens, let alone taking power.
Moreover, Han Fei was kind-hearted. If he killed his father and usurped the throne, he would definitely refuse.
However, if they wanted to change the state of Han, they could only rely on the power of lightning to wipe out some of them.
Looking at Lin Xiao, who was holding the bamboo slips again, the startled salamander quietly cleaned up the things on the table.
Lin Xiao moved the candlestick a little so that he could see the words on it more clearly. Then, he laid the bedding on his own.
This was a suite. There was a small bed beside the bed, which was where the attendants slept.
This was because once something happened to the master, the attendant could be present at the first moment. If the attendant was a maid ~
When it was midnight, Lin Xiao put down the bamboo slip in his hand and stretched.
When he walked into the room, he realized that the Startling Salamander was actually on the small bed. He could not help but frown.
"You can sleep inside."
"But, Young Master…"
"Go!"
"Let's go then. Be fierce!"
Looking at Lin Xiao's slightly serious expression, the Startling Salamander obediently picked up the pillow, climbed onto the soft couch, and burrowed into it, only revealing its small head outside.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed and extinguished the candlestick with a fan. The room fell into darkness.
