Chapter 42: The next stage of the game
In Shouchun Prison, Song Daodao's back was soaked with sweat, his hands were clenched with his sword, and he sat cross-legged on the bed.
Yan He, the county lieutenant on the side, sat sideways on the ground, thoughtful.
Yan He is Cao Yao's parent.
This was originally a sentence that Song Daodao said nonsense, but judging from Yan He's reaction to this, it can be said to be a stone hammer.
The confirmation of this information made Song Daodao have to re-examine his previous inference.
According to the previous inference, the biggest contradiction of Shouchun lies in the uncertainty of Cao Ji's grasp of Shouchun.
Surrounded by strong enemies on the outside, and disunited people on the inside, these are all problems that Cao has to deal with.
Song Dao didn't know much about the strong external enemies, but he could get some news from Yan He's mouth in the future game.
What Song Dao can understand is the unaligned people within Shouchun.
According to the previous inference, among the many contradictions, the triangular contradictions between Cao Ji and Yan He, Yan He and Han Xin, and Han Xin and Cao Ji are the most prominent.
This ring of contradiction was in a delicate equilibrium before the change of the city gates.
But after the change of the city gate, Yan He was abolished and Han Xin was suppressed, resulting in the dominance of Cao's family and the contradiction being broken.
The previous Song Dao's idea was to let Han Xin replace the previous position of Yan He, and Yan He replaced the position of the previous Han Xin, so as to achieve a new balance, which could not only save Yan He's life, but also help enhance the centripetal force of the anti-Qin cause.
However, now there is a message that Yan He is Cao Yao's son, which really caught Song Daodao off guard.
This means that there are doubts about Cao and Yan He in the contradiction ring of Shouchun.
According to the previous inference, the contradiction between Cao Ji and Yan He began with the relationship of "forgiveness" and erupted in the struggle for power.
But Yan He has now become a pro-son, and the relationship of "forgiveness" no longer exists, and the struggle for power is impossible to talk about.
Song Daodao thought carefully about various situations, but Shouchun's situation was too complicated and complicated, and he had no way to start.
"You say, you feel sorry for me, and you want to save me?" Yan He, who was sitting on the side, suddenly spoke, pulling Song Daodao back to reality.
"Ang...... Yes......" Song Daodao replied.
Yan He smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, looked at Song Daodao with a smile, and asked, "Go on, I find you more and more interesting." ”
"Okay, go on, I think you're getting more and more interesting."
"Good!"
Yan He stood up, pulled his body, and sat down facing Song Daodao: "Don't change the rules?" ”
"Not this time."
"Two more, please continue."
"You haven't given me the money yet!" Song Daodao inadvertently saw the six copper coins under him, and suddenly remembered this stubble, the game can be lost, but the money cannot be lost, so he immediately brought it up.
Yan He smiled awkwardly: "You lend me two first." ”
Song Daodao reached out and touched his chest, and his expression gradually became embarrassed: "It's over, I'm gone." ”
Digging in further, Song Daodao took out the two copper coins that had been wrapped in cloth by himself before.
Song Daodao took out the piece of cloth, unfolded it and took out the copper coin wrapped in the middle, and put it in front of Yan He: "You are Cao Yao's son, I said the wrong thing in that game, and I will give it back to you." ”
Yan He silently picked up the two copper coins from the ground, put them in his hand and touched them, and smiled bitterly: "I really don't know the answer to that sentence, let's put these two coins with you first." ”
After that, Yan He returned the copper coin again: "It's still according to the previous agreement, and when it's confirmed, I won't return it to me after the decision." ”
Yan He said so, and Song Daodao had no choice but to put away the copper coins again.
However, although Song Daodao didn't know what was going on between their father and son, there must be something.
Song Daodao looked at the six copper coins in front of him, took out one of them and put it in front of Yan He.
"I'll lend you half of the six, and when you get out, remember to pay me back."
"Okay, let's get started." Yan He urged.
Before, Song Daodao only wanted to know how much Yan He knew, but now Song Daodao wanted to know more, what was the relationship between Yan He and Cao Yao, where did Yan He learn about his identity, the news of the thieves outside the city, etc., this is definitely not something that can be figured out by two conjectures, so he can only pick the most important question to guess.
"You told Cao that I wasn't an envoy of Wu Bing, didn't you?" Song Daodao said.
"Half."
As he spoke, Yan He handed over the only copper coin in his hand to Song Daodao.
Song Daodao looked at the copper coin, and then looked at Yan He, who was calm and composed, and said suspiciously: "You don't just admit half of the copper coin, it's not enough, I can lend it to you again." ”
"It's really half, I didn't say, but the man did know." Yan He explained.
"Oh." Song Daodao nodded.
Xindao, there is only one question left, this question must ask why Yan He doubted his identity.
It's a pity that the game can't ask questions directly, you can only guess by yourself to see if it's right.
In this regard, Song Daodao actually has his own thoughts, but even Song Daodao can't be self-consistent with this thinking.
In addition to the locals of Shouchun, the only people who knew Song Daodao in Shouchun were the Ji Tao caravan that arrived in Shouchun on the same day as himself.
However, Song Daodao's identity to Ji Tao was only the county lieutenant of Yangcheng, and Ji Tao could not know his other identities, logically speaking, even if Yan He found Ji Tao, he would only confirm his identity and would not doubt it.
It can't be because the tattoo color is wrong, the tattoo color is normal for a long time.
"Well, have you thought about it?" Yan He urged.
"Don't worry." Song Daodao said impatiently.
Excluding Ji Tao, what else is abnormal?
Entering Shouchun, staying in the guest house, getting acquainted with Han Xin, misidentifying Wu Bing, meeting Cao Ji, the change of the city gate, the assassination of the guest house, and the confrontation between Han Xin and the current confrontation with Yan He.
This is all the things that Song Daodao experienced when he entered Shouchun.
At a glance, everything revolves around the contradictions in Shou Chunzhong, but only one thing is really aimed at Song Dao himself - the assassination of the inn.
According to the previous thoughts, Song Daodao guessed that the assassination of himself was arranged by Ji Tao, are there some other stories in this?
As for what the story is, Song Daodao can't think of it.
"As for the conjecture that I am not an envoy of Wu Bing, did you know it from the mouth of a Shouchun butcher named Liu You," Song Daodao asked tentatively.
Yan He stretched out his right hand in front of Song Dao: "Take the money." ”
"It's not!" Song Daodao exclaimed.
"It's not." Yan He replied firmly.
"Then how did you know that I was not an envoy of Wu Bing?"
"This ......" Yan He smiled maliciously, "Do you really not know yourself?" ”
