Chapter 99 Secret Contact
Yin Baiyi's words made Qi Yue and Zhao Zhao feel cold.
Yes, once Duan Mufeng became suspicious, how could he only send dead soldiers whom they could see? How many eyes would be staring at them in places they couldn't see.
What should we do then?
There was a dark cloud hanging over everyone's heads, the atmosphere was gloomy, and no one spoke.
After a long time, Qi Yue put down his chopsticks and said sternly to Yin Baiyi: "Yin Baiyi, if Zhao Zhao and I cannot kill that person when we get to the imperial city, and those dead men suspect that we are going to spread the news to Duan Mufeng, what will you do?
?”
Yin Baiyi didn't even raise his head. He lowered his head to pick up the rice in the bowl, "What should we do? If we can't kill people, then the three of us will think of a way. If we can pretend, we will pretend. If we can't pretend, we will be tough. When we get to the imperial city, we will
Find a way to uncover those dead soldiers in the dark and let the young master receive the message we gave him."
Yin Baiyi's words put himself together with Qi Yue and Zhao Zhao. Qi Yue felt happy but also felt guilty. If he hadn't been led by Qi Yue to betray Duan Mufeng, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now.
Yin Baiyi seemed to have seen through Qi Yue's inner thoughts. He took a sip of water and said: "Actually, if you hadn't woken me up at the beginning, I might have continued to do these things for him pretending to be confused and numb, despite my current situation.
It’s difficult, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. In life, you always have to do something that you think is meaningful. I think what you are doing now is quite meaningful. You and Zhao Zhao should not feel burdened.”
Hearing this, Qi Yue was shocked. She raised her head and looked at Yin Baiyi, "You..."
"You're right, I have a family, and I can't let them feel embarrassed because they have me as a relative. Even if you don't wake me up, one day I will do this myself. Duan Mufeng is neither a benefactor nor a master to me.
"The scene when he and Duan Mufeng met for the first time appeared in Yin Baiyi's mind, and hatred flashed in his eyes. "I will tell you these things later. In short, I have never thought about it since I chose to do things with you.
regret."
A warm current surged through Qi Yue's heart. She smiled and said from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you."
As soon as Qi Yue and Yin Baiyi left, Zhao Zhao closed the door tightly, took out the letter paper from his arms, and wrote down everything about today's conversation and the report Shen Jinyu strongly requested and what Qi Yue had done today. Then he borrowed
He went out in a convenient way and handed the letter to Shen Jinyu's person at the corner of the stairs.
Yin Baiyi: "He sent it here pretending to be a waiter in a shop. If I guess correctly, Duan Mufeng's group of invisible dead soldiers are among the people we can see everywhere."
Qi Yue nodded, "At present, this is the most reliable method, but we have no one available, so we can't just wait. Hey, Yin Baiyi, what is the dress of the person who came to deliver the note today?"
Yin Baiyi understood. He took the note and immediately closed the door. When the footsteps outside the door completely disappeared, he opened the door again and took the note to find Qi Yue and Zhao Zhao.
"The dead man has come to deliver the note." He took out the note and spread it on the table. There was still only one line on the note,
Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Jinyu's name was not on the note, but the words "Qin Huaiming, Chief Minister of the Jin Dynasty" still shocked Qi Yue.
"Although I have never heard of Qin Huaiming's name, he is the chief minister of the Jin Dynasty, and his official rank reaches the prime minister. He is the first minister related to the foundation of the Jin Dynasty. If he dies, the Jin Dynasty will lose an important pillar.
This man cannot be killed no matter what."
When the three of them arrived at the Imperial City, it was the warm spring season. Many flowers and trees were planted along the moat. They were in full bloom at the moment. The pink and white flowers bloomed all over the river. The petals fell in the wind. A little girl stretched out her hand. Then, laughter like silver bells came from time to time.
The streets of the imperial city are very wide, and spacious carriages drive by from time to time. Qi Yue and Zhao Zhao are like old men entering the city, looking left and right, wishing they could visit every place.
"Qin Huaiming, the chief assistant of the Jin Dynasty, kill him!"
Zuo Siyou couldn't think of a reasonable solution, so they simply dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest and talk about it the next day.
Yin Baiyi: "..."
After doing this, Zhao Zhao returned to the room, feeling quite like he had become a spy.
The letter was delivered to Shen Jinyu at midnight. At that time, he had just finished taking a shower. His long hair was wet and draped over his shoulders. The collar of his cold silk and ink-colored robe was slightly lifted, revealing the snow-white and strong muscles underneath.
He sat in front of the desk and opened Zhao Zhao's letter by the candle that was still burning.
"Good brother!" Zhao Zhao wiped away his tears and put his arms around Yin Baiyi's shoulders, "I'm really right about you, my good brother. From now on, you and I will be half-brothers!"
"How about we do the same as Shuo Bei, pretending to assassinate, but don't do it, dragging them away first, until the group of dead soldiers can no longer hold back, let them show up, and then we will deal with them," Zhao Zhao said.
"That's going to be difficult. The other group of assassins haven't shown up yet. What should we do?" Qi Yue raised his head and thought.
Yin Baiyi pursed her lips tightly, picked up the note and burned it to ashes under the candlelight.
"Then how do we deal with it?"
After wandering around all morning, they randomly found an inn to stay. As soon as it got dark, there was a knock on Yin Baiyi's door. He thought it was Qi Yue or Zhao Zhao, but he didn't want to open the door and saw a man dressed as a waiter. , the man lowered his head, took out a note from under the tray and handed it to him.
"I won't kill either," Zhao Zhao pushed the note away, "Like Qi Yue, I won't help Duan Mufeng kill people anymore."
The few people stared at each other and thought for a long time but had no idea. Qi Yue had an idea in her mind. She wanted to pass the news of the assassination anonymously to Shen Jinyu. After all, this was the only person she knew in the imperial city, but I was also afraid that if Shen Jinyu didn't believe me, I would be caught by Shen Jinyu and his men first if I didn't fall into Duan Mufeng's hands.
It is written above that their assassination target this time is Qin Huaiming, the chief minister of the Jin Dynasty. Qi Yue and Yin Baiyi both want to protect Qin Huaiming's life. They are trying to delay the time to lure out Duan Mufeng's dead soldiers and deal with them. According to current speculation, Duan Mufeng's group of dead soldiers disguised themselves into the crowds everywhere, and there were also a group of assassins who did not show up.
After explaining this, Zhao Zhao also asked Shen Jinyu to help him think of a solution. They didn't have enough brains.
After turning the page, Qi Yue was written at the end. She only ate a bowl of rice at night, but she ate a lot of vegetables. When she went out in the morning, they kicked her out because she couldn't get up, and she went out without washing her face. At noon in the Imperial City I bought a lot of food but couldn't finish it, so I was scolded by Yin Baiyi for wasting money.
The person Qi Yue seemed to come alive through the words in front of him. Shen Jinyu's mouth didn't move when he looked at it. He read the page of the letter written to Qi Yue several times. After reading it, he carefully folded it and put it away. , then picked up his pen and began to reply to Zhao Zhao.
