Chapter 180: The Smell of Gunpowder
Although he didn't know the details, he knew that Ling Shangge's secrecy work was extremely good, and he was still trustworthy.
He was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, leaving the guards and the others to come to Ling Shangge alone.
He was greeted by a beautiful woman, dressed in red, and even her small and delicate nails were dyed red, which fell in Chu Linghui's eyes, but it seemed to be spitting out the poisonous tongue of Xinzi, judging from her walking posture, the woman in red was light, and her breath was calm, and her internal strength was not under herself.
Chu Linghui didn't dare to make a mistake, sat at the tea table, and the woman poured herself a cup of tea, thanked her but didn't eat.
The woman in red hid her face and smiled: "Lord Chu is still afraid that the little woman will not be able to poison this tea." ”
Chu Lingcheng was unmoved, his face was expressionless, and he said: "Red girl, Chu is here to do business with you today, so you don't have to be so polite." ”
No one knows what the real name of the woman in red is, everyone calls her the Red Girl.
"Lord Chu is refreshing." The red girl raised her hand to hide her face, her fiery red cuffs covered half of her snow-white jade face, and her shoulders shook like the green waves that swayed when a stone-grained stone fell on the windless water, "Then I want to remind my lord, it is a matter of royal secrets, and this price is not cheap." ”
"Don't worry about this, if Ling Shangge really has a way to find out his news, Chu will definitely give it with both hands."
The red girl raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything more, she thought that the emperor only wanted King Tang to die.
She agreed to this matter for the time being, only saying that it would take three days to see if it could be done, and someone would notify her at that time.
After sending Chu Linghui away, the red girl swayed her skirt and walked into the room, and Han Jia'er was sitting there with a cold face at this time.
Han Jia'er had just returned to the capital to resume her life on this mission, and she caught up with Chu Linghui to come to Ling Shangge, and asked Miss Hong to agree to whatever he asked for the time being.
In front of Han Jia'er, the red girl did not have the indifferent and noble temperament, but was much more charming, and her body was soft and sat on the chair like a bowl of water.
She looked at Han Jia'er with a smile: "You must have taken a fancy to Chu Linghui, otherwise how could you open this mouth to me, but this man's face is quite standard." ”
Han Jia'er knew that the red girl had always been like this, and she was open-mouthed, so she didn't argue with her, but said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll go back to the pavilion master first." ”
Seeing her indifferent appearance that no one in her life approached, the red girl couldn't help but shake her head and sighed: "Xiao Jia'er, obviously she is also a pretty beauty who is not very old, why bother to do this, if there is a good Langjun......"
Before the red girl could finish speaking, Han Jia'er got up and strode out of Ling Shangge, and soon Lin Jiu received the news from Han Jia'er.
Because she had fought side by side with the King of Jin, Lin Jiu had a lot of thoughts about the royal family, and she knew a lot about the temperament of the Tang King, and she preferred the King of Jin to sit firmly in that position compared to the Tang King, so she directly asked someone to reply to Han Jia'er to help Chu Linghui find the whereabouts of the Tang King.
So Chu Linghui, who was eagerly waiting for the news on the other side, received a reply the next night, and it was Han Jiaer who came forward in person.
And Lin Jiu also deliberately explained not to reveal her identity as the pavilion master, so Han Jiaer didn't mention half a word.
Chu Linghui chose to meet Han Jia'er in the study, his bookcase was full of information from his subordinates, but none of them could accurately find out the location of King Tang.
Han Jia'er only glanced at it, then lost interest, she sat opposite Chu Linghui indifferently, pulled out a paper roll from her cuff, and threw it in front of Chu Linghui with a snap.
Chu Linghu opened it suspiciously, but found that it was densely packed with names, and two of them were actually the second-grade Dayuan of the court, he hurriedly raised his eyes to look at Han Jia'er and asked, "This is?" ”
"A list of ministers who have a private connection with the Tang King." Before Chu Linghui could speak, she said again, "We have found out that King Tang is now in Luodu, and has begun to contact General Zhongyong's lieutenant, if Lord Chu doesn't act quickly, it will be difficult to deal with King Tang, who has military power at that time." ”
Chu Linghui naturally agreed: "Then you can find out the specific location of King Tang." ”
"I can't be sure yet, but this time I will go with Lord Chu to help you succeed."
Hearing this, Chu Linghui became suspicious, although Ling Shangge's style of acting has changed a lot recently, but in the end, it is a killer organization, and being so concerned by the killer can't help but think more in his heart.
Regarding the twists and turns in his heart, Han Jia'er didn't scruple about it, ignored the doubts in his eyes, got up directly, and said to herself: "When I set off, I will appear." ”
With that, she dodged out of the study, and her figure disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing Han Jia'er's elusiveness, Chu Linghui's eyes darkened, and he reached out from the table to pick up the list that Han Jia'er had just sent, and after looking at it for a while, he picked up the pen and circled a few names together, these were the officials he had investigated before, and he didn't expect Tang Wang's handwriting to be so big.
Early in the morning of the second day, Chu Linghui complained to the emperor that he was sick and could not go to the court, and the emperor had always been sympathetic to the ministers, and he did not say anything about this matter and sent people to send a lot of precious medicinal materials.
Chu Linghui ordered B2 to deliver the news to the emperor in the palace, and he took someone to Luodu privately.
As soon as he left the city, Chu Linghui was outside the city, and saw Han Jia'er riding a red horse with a cold expression, Han Jia'er had been in Lingshang Pavilion for many years, and had already achieved the indifferent character of a killer, and only in front of Lin Jiu, Han Jia'er's words would be a little more powerful.
So at this time, she didn't bother to waste her words, so she drove the horse to Chu Linghui's side, and rushed to Luodu together.
Yu An, who has been stationed in Luodu, has not gained anything at all, when Chu Linghui led the soldiers to dig a ditch here, he inserted some of the brothers under the saddle into the military camp, and according to their investigation, they finally found that a deputy general named Yuan Hua of General Zhongyong was a little abnormal.
Yuan Hua often goes to the land of fireworks recently, and it is understandable that the general goes to have fun every day, but this frequency is inevitably a little too high, in the past five days, he has spent the night in a brothel almost every day, and when he trains during the day, although he is in a state of weakness and his eyes are a little blue, it can be seen that it is not because of a lack of energy, so this person's behavior is very suspicious.
The people sent out by Yu An had not yet returned, Chu Linghui and Han Jia'er arrived, and they wanted to discuss their guesses with Chu Liancheng, so they signaled him to clear out the irrelevant people, looking at Han Jia'er, who had no intention of leaving, Yu An frowned.
Seeing this, Chu Linghui said: "It's okay, this is Han Jia'er from Ling Shangge, who came to assist us this time." ”
Yu An only felt incredible, there was more reproach in his eyes when he looked at Chu Linghui, and his face became serious, Chu Linghui understood what he meant, this operation must be kept secret, so the emperor did not even use the power of the West Factory.
However, before he could explain, Han Jia'er spoke first: "If you want to complete the task on your own, you must first see if you have the ability, it took so long to find Yuan Hua's body, and I don't know where I got my confidence." ”
What she said was excessive, but Yu Saddle was the master of the breeze rudder, and there was still a lot of room for people, he didn't get angry, and took two deep breaths: "Then I don't know, what do you think?" ”
Han Jia'er smiled: "It's better to have a game, an hour, find out Yuan Hua's whereabouts and arrangements, who to meet, if you lose, everyone who sees Ling Shangge in the future will give me more respect." ”
Yu An readily agreed, in the end, his confidence was that he would send someone out to check in the morning, and he should come back at this time.
The two of them didn't wait for Chu Linghui's reaction, they both sat down in silence and waited for the news, he was a little helpless, and he didn't know what to compete with, but fortunately, the development of things was still on the right track, so he didn't interfere and sat down.
Within an hour, Yu An's men came back first, but before Saddle was happy, Han Jia'er reached out and grabbed a paper ball that flew in from outside the door.
Ignoring the somewhat tense atmosphere between the two, Chu Linghui hurriedly urged: "Let's take a look, what's the news?" He had an abnormal feeling, as if he was the only one who cared about King Tang's affairs at this moment.
Hearing the voice, Yu Anbian hurriedly opened the page passed by his subordinates, which recorded in detail the people and things that Yuan Hua had seen in the past few days, although it was a little unreasonable, but he couldn't find a big fault at all, Yu An's brows were deeply frowned.
Han Jia'er, who had just finished reading the note on the other side, felt the other two looking at her, so she said, "Plum Blossom Lane." ”
"You mean King Tang is hiding in Plum Blossom Lane?" Chu Linghui asked urgently.
Yu An shook his head: "Yuan Hua has never been to Plum Blossom Lane. ”
"However, five days ago, he met a girl who lived in the fragrance of plum blossoms at the gate of the general's mansion, and since then, he has been lingering in the land of fireworks and willow lanes every day."
Yu An was silent because his men had not found out about the news.
Ignoring Yu An's strange face, Chu Linghui hurriedly said, "Then let's hurry up and take a look." After speaking, he got up and led his subordinates, quietly rushed to the outside of Plum Blossom Lane, and stopped at the gate of the courtyard at the very end, which was what Han Jiaer told him when he was on the road just now.
