Chapter 263: The Oath
Zhao Xin looked at the prince, and in her heart, the prince was everything to herself. Although the prince is the master, he has never put the master's shelf on her, and treats them all as his relatives and brothers, even after learning his true identity, he has been silently keeping secrets for her, secretly taking care of and caring for her, and is more like a brother to her. And the prince has always regarded himself as the most trusted person, letting her lead the guards and entrust her life in her hands.
From a little girl who doesn't know about the love between men and women to a girl who is just beginning to fall in love, Zhao Xin has also fantasized about her future and sketched the appearance of her future husband, but it is still the prince who can be erased into her dreams... She was willing to follow him and share his joys and sorrows.
"It's... How can you do it, Zhao Xin, this will ruin your life! Zhao Ta was stunned, if Zhao Xin did this, even if he could get everyone's understanding, but the status and fame he had now would be in vain, and because of each other's identities, I am afraid that he could only be a nameless maid, so I would be so sorry for her.
"Second master, I'm not afraid, as long as I follow the second master, I don't want anything!" Zhao Xin shook his head and said.
"Zhao Xin, have you ever thought about it, you are just an unknown little maid by my side all your life, and you will be accompanied by endless battles, fights, deceits, and even death; And leave me, with your talent and wealth, you can choose a good man in the world, live a comfortable and peaceful life, and you will lose your happiness if you follow me..."Zhao Ta persuaded.
"Second master, do you like me?" Zhao Xin interrupted the prince's words and asked.
"When... Of course! Zhao Ta and Zhao Xin looked at each other, and they couldn't deceive her. He can't deceive his heart, he is now used to the days when Zhao Xin is by his side, used to her taking care of herself, and crying to herself. He laughed and lost his temper with himself, he had never experienced love, and he didn't dare to say that he knew how to love love, but he knew that he had regarded Zhao Xin as a part of himself, but he didn't want to make her lose her happiness because of himself.
"Well, the second master and I too, I don't want a name. Don't be afraid of other people's gossip, as long as you can be with the prince! Zhao Xin leaned his head on the prince's chest and muttered, as if he was saying it to the prince and to himself.
"I will definitely give you happiness. Even if it is a sea of swords and fire! Zhao Ta hugged Zhao Xin tightly in his arms and said, secretly swearing in his heart that he would let her have everything she should have...
.......
The ten-day armistice deadline was approaching in a blink of an eye, and the imperial court's collegiate decree had not yet arrived, and the Western Xia side did not reply to the conditions put forward by Zhao Ta. Both sides seem to be waiting.
"Director, there have been several suspicious characters in Xicheng in the past few days, and they will go to Qingfeng Building near the mansion on time every day to drink and gamble. These people are bold and don't care if they win or lose. But he always asked about the security of the government office, intentionally or unintentionally. We've followed them, but they're alert. It's all lost! In a small and inconspicuous courtyard, a man dressed as a scoundrel is reporting to Li Jun what he has discovered today.
"You keep these guys on the ground. If they find out that they want to be unfavorable to the boss, kill them immediately, and the boss must not have any mistakes! Li Jun said sternly.
"Yes, the subordinates will arrange manpower!" The man saluted and stepped back.
After Li Jun waited for the man to leave, he got up and pushed open a small door and walked into another room, but here was a cave, spacious and bright, and the furniture did not match this shabby courtyard, "Lao Jin, where do you think these people were sent?" He said to a lama sitting in the corner.
"Director, there have been many suspicious characters in the city in the past few days, including those from the Imperial City Division, as well as those from the Shaanxi Economic Strategy Division, as well as characters from Liaobang and Tubo. This old Kim is Jin He, director of the Second Bureau of the Intelligence Department, and no one would have thought that he was actually a lama. …,
"Well, there are so many characters, it's really hard to distinguish, but no matter friend or foe, don't let go of any clues, as long as you want to be unfavorable to the boss, you must resolutely get rid of them!" Li Jun said.
"Director, I have already transferred manpower from Shaanxi Station, Hedong Station and Xiazhou Station, and it will arrive in the next two days!" Jin Hyuk replied, "There is a message from Xingzhou that Li Qianshun's chief of guard has not shown up since the armistice, and I am afraid that he has sneaked into Lingzhou City!" ”
"Dudu, known as the first swordsman in Western Xia, didn't he retire ten years ago? How did you become a guard for Li Qianshun! Li Jun exclaimed.
"Yes, but he is hidden in the court, I don't know what means Li Qianshun used to subdue him, and he was willing to be a guard in the palace, this person has very high martial arts, acts secretly, few people have seen his true face, this intelligence officer also inadvertently learned that Li Qianshun's personal guard was actually him!" Jin Hyuk kept the rosary in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"How did he know that Lu Dao was aggressive, and how did he know that Lu Dao had left?" Li Jun asked, if this person wants to be unfavorable to the prince, it is indeed tricky, and now the key is to find him and figure out his purpose.
"Although he is a member of the party, he has a hobby, that is, he loves to eat fish, and there must be fish at every meal!" Kim Hyuk said.
"Eating fish, it's a strange hobby!" Li Jun nodded.
"It's a miracle that someone eats fish in the palace, so our intelligence officer paid attention, but recently the palace kitchen no longer cooks fish, according to which he judged that he left Xingzhou!" Jin Hedao, in terms of eating habits, the Xixia people do not eat fish, although there have been changes later, but only those households close to the Song realm will eat fish, and now in Lingxia and Hexi areas, in addition to the Han people left over from the past and taken captive, they still maintain the habit of eating fish, and the 'authentic' party people will not eat this inferior food, which is the same as the Song Dynasty palace with mutton as the top and no pork to eat.
"You mean to find people with fish!" Li Jun immediately understood the mystery and said.
"Yes, if he enters Lingzhou City, he can endure it for two days, but his habits are not so easy to change, and there are not many places to eat fish in the city, and now that the river is frozen, fish are not easy to get!" Jin He said with a smile, "The only people who can get fish in Lingzhou City are those poor Han people, who catch some fish before freezing to make up for the lack of food for the winter, so he must be in Dongcheng, where Han and Tibetan are mixed, hiding there can not only satisfy the appetite, but also hide, and most of our current manpower is in Xicheng, which just allows him to take advantage of the loophole!" ”
"Well, now there are a large number of Song troops stationed in the city, these people are all fish-eaters, we can contact the Military Intelligence Department and ask them to come forward to investigate, even if the problem on the hands of the people is solved, it will not arouse suspicion!" Li Jun thought for a while and said.
"Director, are we sending an 'iron hand' to the boss's side, and since this guy is known as the number one swordsman in Western Xia, he must have some skills, and he is not in danger if he sacrifices his life to strike!" Kim Hyuk said with some concern.
"We don't have to worry about this, the boss has his own master guards around him, and he is no better than ordinary people, even if he meets Duduo head-on, it is unknown who will kill the deer!" Li Jun waved his hand.
"Alas, for so many years, I have been deeply favored by the boss, but I have not had the opportunity to meet, it is also a pity, and people who can mobilize so much strength think that he is not a simple person." Jin He sighed, the identity of the boss has always been top secret, few people have seen him, even if they have met, they are tight-lipped and never say a word, he can only judge from all kinds of traces that the boss should be an important person in the Hedong Preparation Division, and has always been Li Jun's one-line contact, although he has many intelligence officers, he can't tell who the boss is.
"Lao Jin, the situation is critical now, the boss is not only related to our organization, but also related to the rise and fall of the country, and we must not take it lightly!" Li Jun saw that Jin He was frustrated, but also understood his thoughts, at this time, let him know the identity of the boss of the Dao, and it was also convenient to arrange relevant matters, so he decided not to hide it from him anymore, "Our boss is the envoy of the Hedong Economic Strategy, the commander of this western expedition, Prince Song Yan, I think you should understand why I am so nervous, now not only the Xixia people want to kill quickly, but some people in the country also hope that the prince will not be able to return to the capital, I am worried that the two of them will merge and deal with the boss together!" ”…,
"Prince Yan is our boss?!" Jin He couldn't be calm anymore after hearing this, and exclaimed in a low voice, "I didn't expect the identity of the boss to be so noble, it's really my Buddha's mercy!" He figured it out, he used to hide in the temple to avoid the enemy, and then was found by Li Jun and introduced into the organization, and the small temple where he was located grew up in just a few years, not only became the premier temple in Lingzhou, but also cultivated into a living Buddha who was quite influential in Henan, with tens of thousands of devout disciples under him. And all this requires huge financial support, if it is just ordinary rich and noble families cannot do it.
"Director, it turns out that the boss is the prince, after the city of Lingzhou was broken, the boss also went to my temple to give alms and make a big dojo, but I don't know, I'm really ashamed!" Jin He thought that he and the prince had also met, and he also understood seven or eight points of the truth when he thought about it, there were many temples in Lingzhou City, there were hundreds, but his own temple was not damaged at all, and the prince chose his own temple to do things, which was not only for security considerations, but also to promote himself and elevate his status in disguise.
"The boss said that 'fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields', how can it be spent on money, it is better to spend it on your own people, which makes you cheap again!" Li Jun said with a smile, "But after the boss saw you, he said that you are steady, flexible, and good at witty, and I appreciate it very much, and I will definitely discuss the Buddha with you when I have the opportunity, and you can't pretend to be ignorant anymore!" ”
"Please tell the boss that Kim Hyuk will do his best for the organization!" Jin He clasped his hands together, his face was hideous, and his eyes showed a fierce light and said: "Buddhism is boundless, let the old monk help the prince to overcome those sinful people..."
