Chapter 799: Secret, you dont trust me

Fortunately, the young master of the Xue family didn’t stay overnight in the brothel, nor asked Lin Chujiu to accompany him to drink until midnight. When he was half drunk and half awake, he was picked up by the servants, saying that something happened at home.

Lin Chujiu knew that this was just a play. The young master of the Xue family didn’t want to stay overnight, not because something wrong happened with the Xue family, but because he wanted to give her time to pass the news to the Southern Country as soon as possible.

That’s right, Qiangwei was a spy arranged by Xue’s family in the Moon Shadow Tower to help them communicate with the South. This time, the young master of the Xue family wanted ‘Qiangwei’ to pass the news to the South. The Eastern Emperor and Xiao Tianyao were fighting, the Xue Family wanted to remind the South to take this good opportunity.

What good opportunity?

Of course, a good opportunity to attack the Eastern Country.

Xiao Tianyao was captured. More than 200,000 Jinwuwei Soldiers had no leader, and there might even be civil strife in the East. Attacking the East at this time doesn’t require them to put in too much effort.

It was a pity, the idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. Coincidentally, the news that the Xue Family was going to send to the South fell into Lin Chujiu’s hands.

No need to mention that Lin Chujiu didn’t know how to contact the Southern people, even if she knew, she wouldn’t spread the news.

From Xiao Tianyao’s point of view, he was indeed dissatisfied with the emperor’s actions, but… …

She can’t just think from Xiao Tianyao’s point of view, she was from the Eastern Country. As a citizen of the East, she can’t just sit and watch the South take the opportunity to attack their country. She will stop it. She can’t do this kind of treachery.

When Lin Chujiu went back to her room, she acted like it has nothing to do with her, she was ready to rest after taking a bath. Of course, just in case, she still put makeup on her face while no one was serving her. Just to make sure that people couldn’t see her original appearance.

Sleeping with makeup hurts the skin, but when life was at stake, this little problem was not worth thinking about at all.

After sleeping with her clothes on, just as she closed her eyes, she heard a knock on the door of different lengths. Lin Chujiu was startled and completely woke up. She put on her outer clothes and got up to open the door.

“Qiangwei!” It was the little maid who was waiting on her outside who came in. She was different from the one who was timid during the day.

When their eyes met, Lin Chujiu thought something was wrong and was thinking of how to cover it up, but she didn’t expect the little maid to react very quickly: “You are not Qiangwei, who are you?”

Not good!

“This is not a question you should ask.” Lin Chujiu didn’t even think about it. She stepped forward, and with a flick of her wrist, the knife hidden in her cuff fell firmly into her hand, then pressed against the little maid’s throat.

The little maid’s reaction was quick. The moment Lin Chujiu made a move, she was about to run away, but she was a step too late. Lin Chujiu held a knife to her throat: “Be good, don’t open your mouth.”

Without question, the little maid didn’t call out loudly, but Lin Chujiu still reminded her.

“Who are you? What’s the purpose of pretending to be Qiangwei?” Although someone held her throat, she didn’t panic, and looked at Lin Chujiu calmly, completely no longer flustered as before.

“It doesn’t matter who I am, what matters is who you are?” When Lin Chujiu asked, the tip of the knife sank half an inch into her throat, and beads of blood came out from the tip of the knife.

“I’m from the south, I came together with the original Qiangwei. I also work for the Xue family.” The little maid looked at Lin Chujiu cautiously, her eyes full of vigilance.

“Is she working for the Xue family?” Lin Chujiu asked back in disbelief. The little maid nodded her head heavily. To convince Lin Chujiu, she deliberately said, “Qiangwei is a famous prostitute in the brothel. But she does not have the freedom to go in and out. After she receives the news, I will pass it on.”

“I believe you.” Lin Chujiu didn’t ask any more questions. It doesn’t matter if she believes it or not. She doesn’t want to know their situation. What she wants was to make the other party shut up: “Since you are a spy, you should know what to do, right?”

To let the opponent understand, Lin Chujiu increased the force again, and the tip of the knife sank an inch into the throat, and the blood flowed down the tip of the knife.

The little maid didn’t cry out and said calmly, “The injury is on the neck. If someone finds out, neither you nor I will end well.”

Her identity was also shady. If she shouts, Lin Chujiu will certainly suffer bad luck, but she will not end well either.

It was not easy for the Xue family to place a person in the Moon Shadow Tower.

“Don’t worry, since I’ve made a move, I won’t leave any openings.” Although she struck a little harder, she used a scalpel blade with an extremely thin blade. Although the wound was deep, it was inconspicuous. There was only a thin strip, People who didn’t know thought it was scratched by something.

“Kill me, and you won’t end well.” The little maid thought that Lin Chujiu was going to kill her, her face changed drastically, and she said eagerly: “If you don’t kill me, I won’t expose you, and we can live in peace. If I cover you, you’ll be much safer.”

“This suggestion is good, but how can I trust you? What if I let you go and you go out and sell me, or kill me secretly, what should I do?” Concealing each other was the most ideal state, she and the little maid all have problems. The best way was to pretend that they don’t know each other, and they live in peace with each other, but… …

They cannot trust each other.

“Even if you don’t believe me, you have to believe me. Your secret is in my hands, and mine is also in your hands. We have each other’s secrets, and we can only choose to believe in each other.” Seeing Lin Chujiu showing signs to let go, the little maid secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She adjusted her mood and tried to persuade Lin Chujiu more.

“There is nothing wrong with what you said, but I always like to take the initiative into my own hands.” Lin Chujiu took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve and handed it to the other party: “There are two medicines in it, pour one and eat it.”

“What is this?” The little maid poured out a capsule pill from it, thinking something was wrong in her heart, but she didn’t dare to resist.

The situation was not optimistic for her, she has no right to refuse.

“You know very well in your heart, why bother to ask.” Lin Chujiu took back the medicine bottle and put it away: “Eat it, and you can go.” It was just a common cold medicine, but it was not a product of this era, Lin Chujiu doesn’t believe it can’t scare the other party.

“Where’s the antidote? When will you give it to me?” The little maid was also smart, knowing she couldn’t refuse it, she decided to be more straightforward.

“Three days later.” Even if Xiao Tianyao hasn’t come back within three days, she will not stay in this place anymore.

“Okay!” The little maid took the pill without hesitation, Lin Chujiu retracted the knife, and threw a handkerchief to her: “Wipe it clean.”

The little maid bleed a lot, but the wound wasn’t deep. The blood stopped quickly. If people didn’t look carefully, they wouldn’t see the wound on her neck. Because of this, although the little maid didn’t believe Lin Chujiu, she would not suspect there was something wrong with the medicine she gave her.

And this was the result Lin Chujiu wanted.

After retracting the scalpel, Lin Chujiu sat down leisurely: “Okay, now tell me the identity of this Qiangwei and all the things she should do.”

With the help of this little maid, Lin Chujiu believed that she will have unexpected gains…
