Chapter 43.5 - Beiliang Secret Letter
"Where did you get that A-level secret letter?" Shangguan Linshuang asked.
"Northern Liang Domain......" The monster crawling on the ground actually spoke.
Hearing the name of this place, Shangguan Linshuang's palm holding the tea cup stiffened. Her eyes narrowed, she handed the fragrant tea in her hand to the tip of her nose and gently shook the teacup, and said in an extremely cold tone: "You'd better tell me, this news has nothing to do with Lin Yuan!" β
To Shangguan Linshuang's great disappointment, the name she didn't want to hear still appeared from the mouth of the monster on the ground.
"Door Master, this secret letter is indeed related to Lin Yuan......
The small and delicate tea cup in Shangguan Linshuang's palm sounded with the sound of cracking.
"He got Lu Hao's private account!" The monster continued.
Shangguan Linshuang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but then she frowned again and asked, "Is Lin Yuanren injured?" β
"I got a punch in the thigh, a few punches in the face, the bridge of my nose was crooked, and everything else was fine." The monster replied without thinking.
For a while, the air in the room seemed to be a little colder. I only heard Shangguan Linshuang continue to ask, "Who did it?" β
"Except for the punch in the thigh that was hit by Lu Mingcheng, the others ...... Lin Yuan did it all himself. β
When he said this, the monster's nice voice was a little weird, and even Shangguan Linshuang's expression became very exciting.
"He fought it himself? The bridge of the nose too? β
Shangguan Linshuang got a positive answer after asking, and the gloom between her eyebrows began to dissipate little by little, and she drank the fragrant tea in the teacup with a playful smile. It seemed that the intelligent Shangguan Linshuang had already figured out Lin Yuan's intentions.
"In this way...... It's really good to do it. Shangguan Linshuang whispered to herself, and then she smiled with her eyebrows, looked at the monster crawling on the ground like a spider, and said, "Get up and talk, it's safe here." β
Shangguan Linshuang's voice fell, and the monster on the ground hesitated for a moment, and then released a black mist to envelop itself again.
A moment later, a strange sound came from the black mist, sounding like the joints of the body were constantly rubbing. With these sounds, the black fog on the ground also began to change gradually, just like a kneeling person began to get up, from the initial mass on the ground to the height of a person.
When the shape of the black mist no longer changed, Shangguan Linshuang's finger popped out a finger wind to open the window, and the thick black mist began to drift away towards the window, turning into a little bit of ash.
It wasn't until the black fog completely dissipated that the wide open window closed automatically.
Looking at the five-foot man in front of him, Shangguan Linshuang put down the tea cup in his hand, and then held his cheeks and looked at the man's face wrapped in strips of cloth.
"I think, this private account shouldn't be what Lin Yuan asked for from the front." Shangguan Linshuang talked about business.
The man stretched out his arms and wrapped them around him, bowed his back slightly, and replied: "Door Master Mingjian, Lin Yuan is indeed deflated by Lu Hao's hands, and this private account was transcribed by the man in black who assassinated Lin Yuan in Qifeng Mountain some time ago. β
Shangguan Linshuang's palm turned to the position of his temple, and said, "Nian Shopkeeper, hasn't you found out the identity of this person yet?" β
The man shook his head full of strips of cloth and said, "The man in black has only appeared for a moment a few times, and he still has a helper in the shadows, and our spies in Beiliang can't find their traces at all. β
As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Linshuang fell into a deep thought again.
As if he had guessed the distress of the door master, the man comforted him loudly: "Judging from the current situation, that black cloth seems to be helping Lin Yuan everywhere, and the door master doesn't have to worry about it." β
But Shangguan Linshuang didn't dissipate her sadness, she stared at the desktop and asked, "Let's not talk about the identity of this person first, did Lin Yuan find out the information he wanted from the ledger?" β
"There should be no ...... Lu Hao's kind of human spirit, even if he does private accounts, he is afraid that he will set up a lot of ambushes, Lin Yuan only relies on himself...... I don't think I can find any decisive information. β
Shangguan Linshuang nodded his head in agreement, and at the same time a sentence floated out of his red lips, "It seems that I have to help him......"
Although her voice was small, the man who was close at hand could not hear it.
I saw the strip of cloth in front of his eyebrows wrinkled, and said, "Door master, with all due respect, this matter is difficult. β
"Indeed, if you want to know the secrets in the ledger now, you can only pry open Lu Hao's mouth......"
But, Lu Hao is not a fool! So the matter fell into a situation where there was no solution.
Both of them were silent for a while, and after some hard thinking and meditation, they could not come up with a good solution.
"In fact, if we want to use the strength of our Fallen Immortal Tower to overwhelm Lu Hao, it is not impossible, but we will definitely do it at that time, if it affects the people in the city and causes casualties, it will give the royal family an excuse to crusade against us, and I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses."
The man's analysis is reasonable, and Shangguan Linshuang is also well aware of the stakes.
The most important thing is that the Lin Mansion will not let the people live or die, and she doesn't want to tie up with the Lin Mansion because of this.
Shangguan Linshuang thought silently, and at this moment, a light suddenly flashed in her mind!
"What did you just say?"
Seeing that the door master suddenly looked so excited, the man was a little overwhelmed, but he still said, "I said that the gains may outweigh the losses." β
"No, last sentence!"
"Royalty?"
"It's not!"
The man was a little stunned, he tried to think about it for a while, and then he spoke: "I said that there may be casualties to the people in the city. β
That's it! Shangguan Linshuang forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and secretly scolded why he hadn't thought of it earlier.
The man who was still standing in place was a little confused, and when he saw that the master of the door seemed to be thinking about something, he said, "The master of the door, my subordinates have finished reporting today, do you have anything else to explain?" β
The man's voice brought Shangguan Linshuang back to reality, her face was still steady, and she did not show half of the joy in her heart.
"Nope."
After Shangguan Linshuang finished speaking, the man saluted again and was about to exit the door, but as soon as he turned around, the voice of the door owner came from behind him: "You don't have to rush back to Beiliang, take a rest tonight, by the way...... Go talk to your sister. β
These words made the man pause, he wanted to turn back and thank the door master, but he was afraid that the door master would see his ruddy eyes.
So the man stood there and thanked him solemnly.
"Thank you, Master!"
Shangguan Linshuang waved his hand, and the man walked out of the room.
When he was alone, Shangguan Linshuang walked to the window, stretched out his hand and pushed open the window, looking into the sky.
"Ghost, please show up."
Shangguan Linshuang's soft words seemed to be aimed at a bright moon, but it woke up a person in the Falling Immortal Tower.
After only a few breaths, a rickety shadow suddenly appeared on the wall behind Shangguan Linshuang.
"Master, what do you command?" A respectful voice seemed to come from the wall.
Shangguan Linshuang didn't look back, she said like this: "I remember, you should know a charlatan who can do necromancy. β
The rickety shadow replied, "Yes, yes." β
"Where is he now?"
"Coincidentally, it should still be in the Northern Jin Dynasty and has not returned to his hometown."
"That ......"
Shangguan Linshuang flicked her sleeve robe and turned sideways, her extremely charming Danfeng eyes stared at the shadow on the wall, and said, "Please ask the ghost guy to sell face and invite him, just say...... We have a business in Shenxian Building, I don't know if he is interested. β
"Whoa! The old man is on his way! β
"It's hard work."
There is no superfluous pretension, and the shadows on the wall disappear in an instant.
Shangguan Linshuang turned around and looked up at the bright moon, the white moonlight sprinkled on her face, giving that charming face a little sweetness.
"You must give me peace......"
