Chapter Ninety-Nine: The First Intelligence War
They didn't come back until noon the next day, and Duan Xiaohan and Lu Zhan each returned to their own courtyards.
Lin Jie in the courtyard of the Lu family smelled a trace of unusual smell, and she had an intuition that Duan Xiaohan and Lu Zhan must have some ulterior motives when they didn't return all night last night. Lin Jie knew her task very well, and she now wanted to figure out the plans of Lu Zhan and Duan Xiaohan.
You must find a way to extract information from Duan Xiaohan's mouth, and then pass the news to your master, Tang Liyi.
Lin Jie pretended to meet Duan Xiaohan, and Duan Xiaohan's brain began to be congested after seeing Lin Jie, and his face began to gradually turn red, but fortunately, Duan Xiaohan's face became a little dark and covered the red on his face after sleeping in the open all year round.
"Master Duan, where did you go with Lord Lu yesterday. I was looking for you yesterday, but I couldn't find you anywhere, and I found out that you and the lord went out and didn't return all night. ”
Duan Xiaohan scratched his head, "That yesterday I went to a mysterious place with the lord, and I won't be able to tell you the details until after the beginning of spring next year." Although Duan Xiaohan is a little lacking in front of women, he still knows the most basic principle of confidentiality.
Lu Zhan had instructed even his family to conceal what he had done when necessary, but Duan Xiaohan implemented it very thoroughly on this point.
Lin Jie saw that he couldn't get useful information from Duan Xiaohan's mouth, but he made a look like I understood.
Seeing Lin Jie laughing shallowly, Duan Xiaohan also let down his guard, after all, a girl who smiled so sweetly was definitely not a bad person.
Lin Jie, who returned to his room, felt even more that Lu Zhan and Duan Xiaohan were planning a big matter, and the fact that they were so strict was even more illustrative.
What should I do now to find out what Lu Zhan secretly planned, at present, only Lu Zhan and Duan Xiaohan should know about the Lu family. Duan Xiaohan's mouth is strict, but Lu Zhan is not necessarily.
Lin Jie, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly laughed, because she thought of a plan.
"Miss Lin is so coincidental, I actually met you here today." Xiao Yezi, who was about to go to the kitchen to serve pastries, suddenly met Lin Jie around the corner.
"yes, I've come to the kitchen to get some food."
Xiao Yezi pointed to another plate of pastries on the table behind him, "That's the extra pastries for the young master, but even if the young master knows, it's okay, you can take it back and eat it." ”
"Thank you so much." Lin Jie showed a bright smile towards Xiao Yezi.
"If it's all right, I'll go first."
"Wait a minute." Lin Jie suddenly called out to Xiao Yezi, "Where did Lord Duan and Lord Lu go yesterday, why didn't they return all night, you understand what I mean, I just want to know where Lord Duan went." ”
Xiao Yezi immediately showed a look of me understanding, looked around, lowered his head and said mysteriously in a suppressed voice: "As far as I know, this Yanzhou family sent a mountain villa to the young master in order to please the young master, yesterday I saw the direction and time of the young master and Commander Duan's outing, they should go to the villa outside Yanzhou City."
After sending Xiao Yezi away, Lin Jie decided to personally find out what secrets were hidden in this villa, and that evening, when the city gate was about to close, Lin Jie disguised herself and rode a horse in the direction of the villa.
In the early hours of the morning, Lin Jie touched the periphery of the villa, looking at the heavily guarded guards and patrols coming and going, which increased Lin Jie's curiosity.
Finally evading the patrolling soldiers, Lin Jie climbed over the high wall with martial arts, and after investigating around, he found a huge blacksmith shop, and after gently pushing the door open, he took a look at the surrounding environment by the moonlight.
Most of the workbenches are lined with more than a dozen hollow iron rods next to them, and when you pick them up and look closely, you can see that there is something strange about them.
Immediately, Lin Jie set his eyes on the workbench without this kind of hollow iron pipe, and there were some iron wires on these workbenches.
According to Lin Jie's understanding of Lu Zhan, these hollow iron pipes and wires must have ulterior secrets. As soon as she thought of this, Lin Jie got up and left the blacksmith shop and lurked in the villa.
There were already many idle rooms in the villa, and Lin Jie found a secluded room to hide.
The patrolling soldiers and the hidden outposts were inexperienced, and no one noticed that there was an extra woman in a night suit in the villa.
The sun was slowly rising, and the early morning sunlight slowly shone into the house, Lin Jie opened her eyes and prepared to secretly check the whereabouts of these hollow iron pipes and wires.
Just as Lin Jie was flying off the wall, a gunshot almost didn't frighten Lin Jie on the roof to fall. Lin Jie had never heard these deafening sounds, and these sounds were like the sound of gunpowder exploding.
Lin Jie changed his attention and prepared to go to the place where the sound came from, and Lin Jie followed the sound to the wall outside the villa. On the smoky field outside the walls, more than two dozen soldiers loomed.
Lin Jie leaned on the wall and squinted at everything, what these soldiers were holding seemed to be the product of the hollow iron pipe and some wood found last night.
It seemed that these were some kind of novel weapons, and the black projectiles made a deafening sound when they were put into these black iron pipes, and more than a dozen black holes were shot out of the targets in the distance.
"It turns out that Lu Zhan and Duan Xiaohan were here yesterday to study weapons, and if these weapons are passed out, they will definitely cause an uproar."
Although Lin Jie wanted to steal a gun barrel back, she found that these barrels were numbered, so Lin Jie had to memorize the style of the black hollow iron pipe in her mind.
After finding an opportunity to get out, Lin Jie climbed out of the wall of the villa and got into the forest. Although it is not known what these wires are for, the major discovery of the musket should be passed on to Tang Liyi as soon as possible.
"Why didn't Miss Lin see you in the morning or at noon?" Duan Xiaohan asked with concern after seeing Lin Jie in the martial arts arena.
Lin Jie casually found an excuse to prevaricate, and then returned to his yard and looked at the sky in the distance. Presumably, his companion has asked the carrier pigeon to send the news to Tang Liyi.
The person who released the carrier pigeon was also inserted into Yanzhou by Tang Liyi, and the carrier pigeon was shot down by a feather arrow not long after it flew out.
"My lord, I have shot the pigeon." A man dressed as an ordinary person with a bow and arrows took a dead carrier pigeon and handed it to Mozhu.
"Go down."
Mo Zhu quickly handed over the letter tied to the pigeon's feet to Lu Zhan, Lu Zhan didn't take it seriously at first, but after opening it and reading it, Lu Zhan's face gradually turned the color of pig liver.
His secret was discovered by the spy only a few days later, and what went wrong with it, there should be no problem with his security work.
"Call Miss Luo over and tell her that she has something important to discuss."
