When Nangong Shan learned the information that Drifting Shaohai gave her, she had been thinking hard about how to deliver it on time, accurately and quickly.

Of course, she couldn't go herself, and you think that a favored princess would be particularly noticeable to pass on information.

If the other party finds out that she appears at this time, she may be startled. Besides, the fake emperor has been sending people to search for her in secret, and she is very inconvenient to move. It may be necessary to use dark chess again, but each time you use dark chess, there is a risk of being exposed once.

Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly thought of someone.

Who is this man, this man's name is Linde.

This person is an old subordinate who has followed the emperor for many years to build the country together. Her father once told her that this person absolutely believed in it, and in case there was chaos in the palace or a crisis of political change, she could ask this person for help. Although this person has been hidden for many years and ignores the government and politics, many years ago he was famous in the rivers and lakes and the government and the opposition, and even today, most of the middle and high-level people in the army have come from his disciples, and they can't disrespect him when they mention Linde. Lin De is strong in martial arts, knowledgeable, upright, not greedy for wealth, fame and fortune, and automatically returns to the countryside in order to avoid high merit and overshadowing the master. Although he has been away from the court for many years, as long as he raises his arms and exhales, he is not afraid that no one will respond. If Nangong Shan invites him to help secretly, the chaos in the government will definitely be resolved soon.

She decided to visit the Lin Mansion as soon as possible.

In order not to attract people, Nangong Shan carefully modified her appearance. In this way, even if you meet an acquaintance, you will not recognize her at a glance.

That night, she defeated herself as an ordinary vegetable delivery peasant woman in order to visit the Lin Mansion. She picked up the fresh vegetables she bought from the market and waited until it was dark to go to the Lin Mansion to deliver the vegetables, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she was stopped by the Lin Mansion family for interrogation.

"Stop, who's it?" asked the housekeeper.

"Why haven't I seen you before?" The family looked at her carefully, thinking that he had not seen it, so he asked: "Delivering food at such a young age? Besides, how can there be a person who delivers food at night, inexplicable." Walk around...... Walk ......"

"Uncle, the little girl's father suddenly fell ill, and he was supposed to be sent over during the day. I was too sick to walk. And the Lin Mansion was anxious to wait for these dishes, so he had no choice but to send the little girl to come, because the little girl's feet were not strong, and the half-day road was almost a day's walk, so she came now. Please make it convenient for the uncle and let the little girl pick the dishes in. ”

"No, no, what kind of dishes are you giving after dinner, after walking for so long, the dishes are not fresh. Come early tomorrow. As he spoke, he was about to push her out.

Of course, Nangong Shan did not follow and resolutely did not leave. kept saying: "Uncle, let's make it convenient, if this dish is not delivered, the little girl will not be able to pay it back, and her father will scold." It was too late for the family to let her in. You had to push me, and the sound gradually got louder and louder. Seeing a person coming out of it, Nangong Shan deliberately raised her voice again and shouted, "Uncle, you can be accommodating." The little woman can't pay the difference when she goes back...... Uncle, you let me in. ”

"What's the matter, it's so noisy at night. "The person who came out of it was a woman, and she should be a servant when she looked dressed.

"Miss Qing, this person actually wants to deliver food to the Lin Mansion at night, this is like words, this dish is not fresh. The family replied to the question of the servant of the Lin Mansion.

"Girl, my dish is still quite fresh, but it has only been delayed for a little time on the road. The little girl's foot strength is not good, and it is the first time to deliver food, and the road is not familiar, so please ask the girl to do well. Let the little girl bring the food in. The more Nangong Shan spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and a few tears were squeezed out of her eyes.

"This girl is delivering food for the first time?" Miss Qing asked Nangong Shandao.

"Yes, after walking for dozens of miles, you can see that the shoes are worn out, and the skin of the feet is worn off. He put his foot out and asked them to look at it.

"Yo, this foot is grinding like this, it's bleeding. It's pathetic. Alright, okay, I'll take you in. You pick up the food and come in with me to find you a new pair of shoes to change into. ”

"But Miss Qing, I'm afraid this dish won't be fresh at such a late hour, and it won't be good if there are thieves in the house at night. The family still refused to give up.

"If it's not fresh, it's not fresh, is our Lin Mansion a place where this dish is lacking? Our master has always been kind and generous, how can he embarrass a little girl for this order." Miss Qing was so righteous and insistent, and the family she said was speechless, and Nangong Shan was very grateful.

"Yes, yes, yes, this girl, please come in. With that, he stepped aside and hurriedly made way for her.

Nangong Shan followed Miss Qing from the Lin Mansion to the kitchen of the Lin Mansion, the entire Lin Mansion was not big, she didn't see a few people inside and outside, and the layout of the inner room was also very simple, and the kitchen was especially simple. Nangong Shan and Miss Qing were barely walking side by side inside.

"Put the food here," you wait outside for a while, I'll go to the other room to find you a pair of shoes to change, your shoes are not in shape, you can't wear them anymore.

"Thank you, sister, you are such a good person. Nangong Shan walked into the courtyard, still never saw anyone, she secretly walked to the back of the courtyard to see where Lin De lived? I don't know if Master Lin is in the house now, Nangong Shan quietly slipped to the room in the backyard to check, but unfortunately was discovered.

"Who are you, how can you enter the Lin Mansion at will, leave quickly. An old man came up to her and tried to drive her away.

"Hey, so you're here. I said that after a while, I couldn't see people, and strangers in this Lin Mansion were not allowed to move around at will. ”

"Oh, that is. Nangong Shan stretched out her finger and pointed at the old man who had driven her away, she probably thought that this old man might be Linde.

"Oh, this is the housekeeper of the house. Hey, give you your shoes, you can change them and go home, it's getting late. Miss Qing said.

"Miss Qing.. Miss Qing. ”

"Ah, miss, I'm here. A woman walked in the direction of Miss Qing's eyes, dressed obviously not in line with Miss Qing, but it was not exquisite, but she could barely distinguish the relationship between the master and servant of the two. This person is a young lady in the house, but she is as simple as an ordinary person. Nangong Shan was puzzled, this Lin Mansion was also prominent for a while, the mansion was simple and unrepaired, and even the owner's clothes were so ordinary.

"Miss Qing, who is this?" Miss Lin asked curiously when she saw a stranger suddenly appear in the house.

"Miss Hui, this person is a food delivery, because she broke her foot from walking, I found her a new pair of shoes to change into. ”

"Oh, that's right. Put it on. If Miss Lin's voice is gentle and kind, it makes Nangong Shan feel very kind.

"What's the matter, keep looking at me, put on your shoes, your feet are bleeding, if you get infected, you will be in trouble. Miss Lin continued.

"No, Miss Lin, I have something important to tell you. Nangong Shan rejected Miss Lin's kindness, which surprised Miss Lin.

"What do you want me to tell?"

"Miss Lin, can you take a step to speak? ”

"Good. Follow me. When Miss Lin saw this woman make such a request, she felt that it was not as simple as delivering food, so she took her to her boudoir.

"Miss Lin, I'll get straight to the point, I want to see Master Lin. Nangong Shan went straight into the knife and didn't drag the mud and water, she didn't want to waste any more time.

Miss Lin heard Nangong Shanyi say that she wanted to see her father, so she hurriedly looked outside the house. Then he gently closed the door, turned around and said to Nangong Shan, "You want to see my father?"

"Yes, there are important things. ”

"No, I can't. Miss Lin refused, which made Nangong Shan very surprised and frustrated, which was different from the impression that Miss Lin gave her at the beginning.

"Why?" asked Nangong Shan.

"The deceased is too big to be disturbed. ”

"What! Master Lin, he..."Nangong Shan felt ashamed of her abruptness.

"My father passed away a few years ago. So there's no way for you to see him today. "Miss Lin's sadness was poked by someone and she was in a low mood.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lin, please mourn. In that case, I'm sorry to bother. Nangong Shan was extremely disappointed, losing this power meant that the chances of winning the confrontation in the future would be very low. She felt numb and helpless inside, and her legs were so heavy that it was very difficult for her to take a step.

"Please stay. Just as Nangong Shan was about to open the door and leave, Miss Lin stopped Nangong Shan. Nangong Shan silently turned around and said, "What does Miss Lin command?" ”

"I know who you are, I almost recognized you the first time I saw you outside. I also know that the purpose of your trip is only confidential, and it is inconvenient for me to openly take the initiative to explain it to you. Your Royal Highness the Princess, the little woman is Lin Yixin of the Lin Mansion to greet you. Lin Yixin said and curtsied.

"No, Miss Lin, I was suddenly disturbed tonight, and I didn't dare to accept this big gift. It's just because it's urgent, so I have to do it. Please forgive me!" Nangong Shan saw that Lin Yixin was about to kneel down for her, and quickly stopped her.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie, I have already expected today's events. When my father was alive, he made it clear to me that if this does not happen today, it will happen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

"Why did Miss Lin say this?" Nangong Shan didn't understand too much when she saw Lin Yixin say these words.

"Although the government is calm on the surface, many people feel that a greater crisis is coming. If the country is in turmoil, the people will inevitably be in danger. My father had already had a keen judgment on government affairs in the world, and now it has almost completely come true. ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, my father told me about the Prime Minister's heart of a rebellious minister and thief. They wanted to use the expansion and light war as an excuse to seize military power and control national affairs, and most of the people above the court were swept away by them. Lin Yixin said sincerely.

"Then Master Lin has a right strategy?"

"Yes, wait until I slowly speak to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

According to Lin Yixin, when Master Lin was alive, he understood the changes in the court situation at that time.

In fact, Master Lin, Prime Minister Liu You, and the emperor built this country together and established this country. At the beginning, Linde sensed Prime Minister Liu You's desire for power, but because of his lack of prestige, he couldn't bear it and retreated to the stage to make small moves. All the large and small turmoil and political crises that have occurred since the founding of the state can be said to be directly or indirectly related to Prime Minister Liu You. And the emperor remembered that he had repeatedly indulged in the common tribulation in the past, and was also worried that people would talk about the emperor as a person who could share the hardships and hardships, but did not take action against him, at most it was just a verbal reprimand. As a result, Liu You became more and more arrogant, and his power was also rising, and he even caused a situation of rebellion against the emperor.

Since Liu You took power, he has framed Zhongliang, fished the people, deceived the superiors and concealed the subordinates, and was full of evil. He secretly recruited troops, carefully selected masters to join his camp, privately opened an arms factory, and openly trained soldiers. The emperor didn't want to touch him before, but now not only does he not have the ability to touch him, but he calculates it.

Ms. Lin Yixin said that Lin De had actually been prepared for a long time. Secretly contact those who are loyal and good, let them form a group, and not be in the same stream, so as to wait for the opportunity. But there was a traitor between them, and the traitor's whistleblower allowed Liu You and others to take the opportunity to list the crimes, and get rid of a large number of people by coercion, inducement, etc., which greatly damaged the strength of the loyal people, and what is even more chilling is that the death of Master Lin is also alleged to be related to Liu You's secret poisoning. On the day of Master Lin's death, he once handed Lin Yixin a box and told her that she must keep this box well, even if her life is related, it cannot be destroyed or fall into the hands of Prime Minister Liu You and others.

Lin Yixin said to Nangong Shan with a low expression: "Since I got this treasure box that day, I knew that someone would take the initiative to pick it up one day, but I didn't know that Her Royal Highness the princess would come to pick it up in person." ”

"Where's the treasure box?" asked Nangong Shan.

"Princess, wait a minute. I saw Lin Yixin walk to the edge of the bed and lift the quilt and bed board. A small wooden box was brought out with both hands. Lin Yixin took out something from her corset, opened the wooden box, and after opening it, she took out a box wrapped in yellow cloth from it. She untied the yellow cloth and revealed a golden box, so Lin Yixin took out a delicate key from under the pillow to open it, and finally took out a yellowed booklet from it.

"Huh," Lin Yixin handed the booklet towards Nangong Shan with both hands.

"What is this?" Nangong Shan opened the booklet curiously and said, "It's a list, what kind of list is it?"

"These are the loyal men who have been preserved, and my father told me that when a large number of loyal people were killed, he realized that he must preserve the list of those who have not yet been exposed, and in fact keep the fire of rebellion. ”

"Have you read all of your lists?" asked Nangong Shan.

"I haven't seen it. Lin Yixin replied.

"Then how did you know that this box was to be handed over to me, or to the person you should have handed it over? Nangong Shan thought of a substantive question and had to ask it clearly. Be careful.

"This father has thought about it in detail. First, the only people who can know that his father may become Liu You's resistance are the people around the emperor, and they are the people he believes in the most, otherwise the emperor will not tell him. And Her Royal Highness the princess is the emperor's daughter, and she should be one of the closest people. Second, Liu You and the others did not know that their father still had a list in his hand, because they believed that the resistance had almost been suppressed. So it is impossible to think that my father will still have a list of some survivors in his hands, if they are connected, although their strength is not as strong as Liu You, it is not so easy to get rid of. ”

"Oh, then I understand. Your father is really far-sighted, if these people can save the country of our country from defeat, your Lin family will be the greatest hero. I would like to thank you for your help on behalf of my father, and I will repay you in the future. ”

"Princess, you don't have to. The maiden also had a request, and asked the princess to grant it. Lin Yixin knelt down on her knees and replied to Nangong Shan.

"What do you mean by this, please get up, now that state affairs are like hemp, these red tape are free of energy. If you have any requests, please get up and talk back. Nangong Shan helped Lin Yixin up and said.

"The folk girl has learned kung fu from her father since she was a child, and there is no use for it, so please ask the princess to allow the folk girl to follow the princess to serve. ”

"Okay, okay, I promise you. I'm just using people now, and if you're willing to follow me, I really can't ask for it. Nangong Shan had a smile on her face.

"Then Her Royal Highness Princess, what should we do next?"

"The first thing now is to find someone to pass on the information to Princess Nangong Yang of the Shame Yang Palace, that is, my sister. ”

"What information?"

"There are two pieces of information: first, the prime minister wants to collude with the prince to make trouble, hoping that she will find a way to sabotage it, second, Princess Yang and the prince of Tanguo Tan Fei reached a marriage contract, and the prince will send a welcoming team to our country to welcome the family, and a large number of masters of the rivers and lakes may be arranged in the welcoming team, and Liu You, the prime minister Liu You, already knows that it may be sabotage, and reminds Princess Yang to deal with it. ”

"I will go and finish this matter for the princess. Lin Yixin asked.

"Well, I think it's okay, first, you are a new face in the palace, and no one recognizes you, and second, even if you do, you won't know that this matter has anything to do with me. You just need to keep it confidential. ”

"Yes. Lin Yixin replied.

"But there's more, wait. ”

"What else is the matter with the princess?"

"Don't let Princess Yang know that I sent you to pass on the information, you can disguise other identities by yourself. We must beware of the shy Yang Palace. It would be detrimental to let people know that Princess Yang knew my whereabouts and joined forces with me. ”

"Yes, Princess. Lin Yixin replied.

"You go as soon as possible, the sooner the better. Also, I have difficulty moving in the palace, can I stay in the Lin Mansion, I think this place is very safe. Nangong Shan asked Lin Yixin.

"There are not many people in the Lin Mansion, and it is very safe at the moment, so the princess doesn't have to worry. I will also order the people below to go down and not let them leak the slightest bit of news. ”

"Then you'll have to do it. You'll have to run a run for me, and make a sign in the courtyard of my palace to suggest that I've settled here. Those who read the signs will understand. ”

"Then I'll go tonight, please wait for my news with peace of mind, and come back soon." ”
