Chapter 2: Later Zhou Shi kept his word
Zhu Lin thought about it and decided not to do it. He raised his head and clasped his fists at the captain and said, "June Jun, my sister and I came to this forest for fun, and I accidentally lost my direction. If we don't meet June Jun, we are afraid that we will not be able to find the way back even when it's dark."
"Really?" The captain looked at Zhu Lin as if he was scrutinized. Zhu Lin was dressed in gorgeous clothes and did not look like an ordinary person, but should be the young man of a wealthy family. Although the little girl next to him was not as good as this young man, the gorgeous clothes were not affordable to ordinary people. From this perspective, what they said was somewhat credible.
The deputy captain came forward and whispered to the captain, "General Shi, this is an extraordinary period. We cannot let anyone go of suspicious people, nor can we let others know that we have left the city. Otherwise, we will take them with us first. If there is any problem, we will kill them on the spot. No problem, we will find some time to send them away." The deputy captain also seemed to be afraid of Zhu Yunwen's identity. If they were descendants of princes and nobles, then they would have taken action, but it would be a bad idea.
"Okay." General Shi nodded, and he shouted to Zhu Lin, "Little brother, you have lost your direction. We can send you back, but now we have some things to deal with, so please follow us first. We will send you when things are done!"
Zhu Lin narrowed his eyes. This was not help, but a threat. However, they could also know the situation of this era as soon as possible. Zhu Lin put away the flames that had already been ignited in his hand and smiled on the surface, "It's so great, then I'll thank all the soldiers here for my sister."
Seeing that Zhu Lin was neither humble nor arrogant and showed no panic, the captain dispelled Zhu Lin's suspicion a little. He turned his head and shouted, "Take the horse that no one rides up and let them follow us!"
"yes!"
"Your Highness..." Qing'er pulled the corner of Lajulin's clothes worriedly. Zhu Lin winked at him, and then shook his head.
These soldiers were quite guarded against Zhu Lin and Qing'er. Now it was a very important time, and they would not despise them just because they were young.
In this way, after leaving the cave, Zhu Lin followed the small army on an unknown way.
Zhu Lin rode on the horse and saw some clues. Even if these soldiers did not stop to rest late at night, they would definitely be marching in a hurry. Generally, such a team configuration has important military affairs to report.
After walking until the third update of the night, Zhu Lin and others had already left the forest far away. "Wow!" the captain stopped in front of him and asked, "Where is this place?"
The deputy captain took out the map and looked carefully and said, "Go back to the captain, this is Pingyi, and further forward, it is Chenqiao!"
Pingyi, Chen Qiao and Zhu Lin's hearts were moved. With such sensitive place names, did they return to the post-weekend period when Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao were in a yellow robe? It seems that the motives of this army were very ambiguous.
"Well." General Shi nodded, and he shouted, "Brothers, hurry up, Chen Qiao is not far away. We must report to the Marshal as soon as possible! "
"Wait a minute!" Zhu Lin suddenly stopped everyone.
General Shi looked at Zhu Lin impatiently, "Little brother, what are you doing? Time is tight!"
"Don't you think it's too quiet nearby?" Zhu Lin squinted and looked around. There was just a dense forest here, with various small peaks and slopes in front of him. This geographical environment is extremely suitable for ambushing.
Zhu Lin is extremely premonitorized about the danger, and there is only the sound of leaves rubbing around him, which is really suspicious.
Hearing Zhu Lin's reminder, General Shi stopped the horse and slowly touched the hilt of the sword. As a veteran in the battlefield, he also found something was wrong here.
"Hahaha. General Shi, I didn't expect that there were still talented people around you." In the shadow, a man came out on a horse. As soon as he appeared, torches lit up around him. General Shi felt a stern. The number of people, roughly estimated, there were two or three hundred people!
"Zhang Yongde!" General Shi said word by word, "I didn't expect it was you!"
Zhang Yongde took out his sword and pointed it at General Shi, saying hatefully, "Shi Shouxin! It was the two treacherous ministers of Wang Shenqi who joined forces with the Zhao thief, who made me lose the position of the inspector in front of the palace. I had known that you had a rebellion. Now I am here to suppress you by the emperor's order! Want to send information to the Zhao thief? Impossible!"
It turned out to be Shi Shouxin. Zhu Yunwen glanced at Shi Shouxin, and at this moment, a gentle female voice came from his ear:
"Join Zhang Yongde, assist the royal family in resisting Zhao Kuangyin's army, and defending the Later Zhou dynasty."
"Join Shi Shouxin and assist the Grand Marshal Zhao Kuangyin to overthrow the Later Zhou royal family and establish the Northern Song Dynasty."
"This mission can violate the historical development process. The rewards received are one of the prohibited spells. The strength and weakness are determined by the quality of the task. If you join any party, the reward will be cancelled if the task fails and the lifespan will be reduced by five years."
Zhu Lin was stunned. He could be sure that this voice was passed on to him by astrological jade and was not restricted by the historical development process. Then he could choose as he pleased. However, the rule that if this task fails, the reduction of five years of life is too cruel.
Now it's time for Zhu Lin to choose. With the spells he has mastered, Zhu Lin's joining either side is enough to change the situation.
If Zhang Yongde is killed here, then Shi Shouxin's journey to Chenqiao will become unobstructed. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin can join forces with the imperial guards in the capital and return to the court and force the new emperor to abdicate.
If you choose to help Zhang Yongde kill Shi Shouxin, the contact between the capital and Zhao Kuangyin's army will be disconnected. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin is afraid of the counterattack of the capital and dare not move forward. The royalists will have time to contact everyone to support him.
All developments are decided by tonight.
"Listen to my orders, kill the rebel Shi Shouxin on the spot!" Zhang Yongde waved his long sword, "Kill Shi Shouxin, get promoted to the third level, and enjoy wealth forever! The future of the Later Zhou Dynasty depends on today!"
"yes!"
