Chapter 397: Mission
Yang Lin smiled faintly, he didn't care about Zhang Lin's strange performance, he had a concealed look, but he began to talk slowly, why did he come to Guangzhou Mansion? How did he inadvertently save Fengshen Yinde, all kinds of things, about the causes and consequences of coming to Guangzhou Mansion, Yang Lin did not hide anything from each other, and told them all one by one.

After speaking, Zhang Lin's reaction was a little strange, as a member of the former anti-Qing organization Mixed Yuan Sect, he did not accuse himself with righteous indignation and became a slave of the Qing court, but behaved very calmly. Although he was strange in his heart, Yang Lin didn't dwell too much, but asked, "Brother Zhang, listen to what you just said, I met me by chance on the street." So, did you come here from Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Chu, is there something wrong? You might as well tell me what I can do for you, after all, you're relatively new to the city, and you don't know the place well. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Lin obviously hesitated, his face showed hesitation, seeing this situation, Yang Lin didn't say much, just waited quietly. Soon, Zhang Lin showed a resolute look on his face, and even more ashamed, no longer flashing his words, and said slowly: "Brother Yang, I know who you are, and I shouldn't doubt you." ”
Zhang Lin paused, seemed to organize the language, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "Speaking of the purpose of this trip, I have to talk about Sichuan, Shaanxi and Chu. Brother Yang, you must also know that it is in the midst of war, and there are Tartar soldiers everywhere, or the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, and it is very chaotic. ”
"I don't know if you remember, I once told you that after the Mixed Yuan Sect was destroyed by the Tartars, there were still some people who survived. And some of them are most of the high-ranking members of the White Lotus Sect, one of the initiators. ”
As if he had thought of something, and was about to talk about happy things, a happy smile clearly appeared on Zhang Lin's face, his eyes were shining, and his tone became pleasant.
"Brother Yang, there is something I forgot to tell you, I am already married, her name is Wang Cong'er. Since the collapse of the Mixed Yuan Sect and the scattered members of the sect, I originally thought that she was dead, but I didn't expect to meet her again in Sichuan. ”
......
At this moment, Yang Lin's heart was shocked, and his surprise was beyond measure. Since mastering the Deaf and Dumb Hall, although he has not directly commanded it, the news from all over the world has been constantly fed back, and he Yang Lin has it in his hands and is very familiar with it, especially about the White Lotus Sect in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Chu.
With the ambition of Lingyun and wanting to overthrow the Qing court, how could Yang Lin not grasp the dynamics of the White Lotus Sect? Wang Cong'er, this name is very familiar to her Yang Lin, and the information about this woman can be said to come out as soon as she opens her mouth.
Wang Cong'er, that is the Eighth Army Road Commander of the White Lotus Sect, the leader of the rebel army, the momentum is far better than that of Zheng Yi's sister-in-law at sea, and he has an uprising army of 140,000 or 50,000! In the battle with the Qing court, he repeatedly defeated the iron bucket of the Tartars, and galloped across the Sichuan, Shaanxi and Chu areas!
Such a stormy person, how could Yang Lin not know? How could he not have her information in his hands?
As if to confirm the speculation in his heart, when Zhang Lin paused, Yang Lin asked tentatively: "That, Brother Zhang, your wife, is the Wang Cong'er you are talking about, is it the female leader of the Sichuan-Shaanxi-Chu White Lotus Sect, the Wang Cong'er of the Eighth Route Army?" ”
Zhang Lin showed a look of surprise, and then said: "Well, yes, it's that Wang Cong'er, Brother Yang, do you know her?" ”
"Hehe, I can't talk about acquaintance, but I've heard of it. Congratulations, Brother Zhang, the husband and wife are reunited in a foreign country, and then continue the frontier, you must be very happy at that time~! ”
However, to Yang Lin's surprise, hearing his words, Zhang Lin's expression became gloomy, and he was a little lost, but he said resolutely: "Although our husband and wife are reunited, they don't recognize each other, she doesn't know that I am alive, she doesn't know that I am her husband Qi Lin, thinking that I have already died in the uprising in Xiangyang and was killed by the Tartars." ”
As if thinking of something, Yang Lin glanced at Zhang Lin's face and said hesitantly, "Why?" Could it be that she dislikes your appearance at this time, or your status, which cannot match her glory at this time? ”
"No, it's that I don't want to recognize her." Zhang Lin shook his head weakly and did not explain much.
Yang Lin was very knowledgeable, knowing that the other party didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't tell himself, so he didn't continue to ask, but remained silent, after all, everyone has their own privacy, and not everything is willing to share with others. All of a sudden, there was a chill in the room, and the atmosphere became a little stiff. Soon, Zhang Lin took a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this." Brother Yang, the reason why I came to Guangzhou Mansion this time is that I want to do something for her to make up for the guilt of the past few days. ”
"Brother Zhang, what is the matter? As long as it is a little brother, I can help, and I will never postpone it~! ”
"Well... That's the case, Brother Yang, although Cong'er is in the southwest, he knows about the affairs in Fujian and Zhejiang, and he also understands that the Tartar sailors are encircling and suppressing Cai Lian's forces. Therefore, I took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as a lobbyist to promote the alliance, hoping that the White Lotus Sect could form an alliance with Cai Lian and the newly rising Thunder, work together, oppose the Qing Dynasty together, push to the rule of the Manchurian Tartars, and restore the world of our Han people! ”
Yang Lin was not surprised that Zhang Lin said this, as if he had expected it a long time ago. After Zhang Lin finished speaking, he then took over the topic and said, "Well... Brother Zhang, I think it will be very difficult for you to promote the alliance between the White Lotus Sect and Cai Lian, and it can be said that there are many difficulties. ”
seemed to feel Zhang Lin's doubts, and without waiting for him to ask, he immediately explained: "Not to mention anything else, you also know that at this time, Cai Lian and these people are being encircled and suppressed by the Zhejiang Navy Division and the Fujian Navy Division, and they have the cooperation of the coastal forts. Moreover, now that the situation is so tense, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang has almost blocked all coastal shores and nearby waters, not to mention that Cai can't get ashore, and it's impossible for you to even want to go to sea! ”
To Yang Lin's surprise, Zhang Lin did not show disappointment, but said calmly: "Brother Yang, I know what you said, and I have understood it beforehand. Actually, I was not going to meet Cai Qian in Fujian, but wanted to go all the way north from the Pearl River to the coast of Fujian, and meet him on the island of Taiwan to discuss the formation of an alliance. ”
Yang Lin nodded slightly, revealing a sudden expression, and then said in a deep voice: "En... If that's the case, it's doable. However, there is a great risk, and it is likely to meet Zhejiang or Fujian sailors. If you encounter it, you will be buried in the ******. ”
However, Zhang Lin did not hesitate and immediately said, "Brother Yang, thank you for your kindness, don't persuade me." Since I came to Guangzhou Mansion and prepared to go to Taiwan, I must have thought of all kinds of dangers and possibilities along the way, and I have long been mentally prepared, life and death depend on the will of God. ”
Yang Lin was silent, and after thinking for a while, Zhang Lin didn't say anything more, and the two of them quieted down, thinking about their own things.
As the minutes ticked by, the room was a little eerie and quiet, which made people feel abnormal. Zhang Lin's performance was very flat, and he didn't seem to think that Yang Lin could help anything? After all, the governor of the Thirteen Lines in Guangzhou was only responsible for managing the merchants, and could not command the ships. Not to mention the fact that ships not only have to go to sea, but also all the way north, to sensitive seas.
At this time, as if he had figured out something, Yang Lin showed his intention to decide, and said loudly: "Brother Zhang, let's do it, you stay here for two days first, and I'll help you get the ships going to sea and the things going to Hong Kong and Taiwan~"
This time it was Zhang Lin's turn to be surprised, his eyes widened, and he looked straight at Yang Lin, with a look of disbelief on his face, feeling like a dream. Yang Lin's background, he Zhang Lin didn't know it, but he was a businessman in Jinhua Mansion who was very rich, even if he got an official position in Guangzhou Mansion, it was not so easy to do about his trip to Thunder.
Still in shock, Zhang Lin muttered, "Really~?" (To be continued.) )
