Lin Dong's intention is actually very simple. If Zang Feilong knew the real mastermind behind the scenes, even if he killed Haotian, it would not be considered real revenge.Is this hatred going to take root in Zang Feilong's heart for a lifetime?What's more, the person who supported him all the way, the person he has always hated is Haotian. He represents the beginning and the end of everything, and he cannot change roles at this time.

Before Zang Feilong knew about it, he thought of a way to get rid of Haotian. Even if Zang Feilong would get angry afterwards, he couldn't let him do it himself.Haotian will definitely tell him the truth.

"Are you really going to sneak into Haotian Mansion?" Li Sheng asked him for the last time, "Once you go in, we won't be able to contact you. Haotian has too many eyeliners, you can only fight alone."

"It's okay." Lin Dong nodded, "It's exactly what I want."

If he gets involved with other people, he is afraid that it will involve others.

It is more convenient to do things alone.

Li Xing and Li Mu glanced at each other, Li Mu stood up and said, "Sir, go to rest first, let me discuss it with Uncle."

Lin Dong nodded, got up and saluted Li Sheng first, Li Sheng quickly reached out to help him, then shook his head, "You really care about your elder brother."

Lin Dong smiled, turned around and thanked Li Mu before leaving the door.Ye Batian and Ye Qingshan naturally followed, and when the three of them walked to the backyard, Ye Batian folded his arms and said, "You want to assassinate Haotian alone?"

Lin Dong didn't answer, Ye Batian frowned, "You're crazy! You nerd is powerless, what do you use to assassinate? Chopsticks?!"

Ye Qingshan disagreed, "I promised Brother Feilong, I will protect you well before he comes."

"Batian, Qingshan." Lin Dong stopped and said seriously, "I'll only say this once, but please keep it in mind."

Ye Batian and Ye Qingshan were taken aback for a moment, Lin Dong had his hands behind his back, his serious face made him completely contrary to his usual meek and harmless appearance, making people unconsciously solemn, and they were firmly attracted by his words and deeds.

Lin Dong looked at the two of them, and said, "I did this for Feilong's benefit. Some things are better for him to rot forever than to be brought out to see the sun again. If Zang Feilong arrives earlier than I expected, I ask you to help stop him." he."

"Stop him?" Ye Batian seemed to hear a joke, "The two of us together are not enough for him to play with!"

Lin Dong frowned, "Then find a way and find a reason. In short, we can't let him know where I am, and we can't let him find me! This is a matter of national security! It's not a trivial matter!"

Ye Qingshan was shocked by the safety of his country, "Is that an exaggeration?"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Lin Dong sighed, "Even if it won't harm the country, Zang Feilong will have to live his life unwillingly. You should get to know him at least once. Do you really have the heart to see him like this?"

Ye Batian and Ye Qingshan glanced at each other, Ye Batian said: "To be specific, he is our enemy."

Lin Dong raised his eyebrows silently.

Ye Batian sighed, "It's an enemy and a friend, after all, it's a neighbor. Besides, one of my ideals is to defeat Zang Feilong and occupy the camp at Zuoshantou. If he loses his fighting spirit, it won't be interesting."

Lin Dong's expression softened, and he nodded slightly, "That's it."

Ye Qingshan wanted to say more, but was held back by his elder brother.

"We promise you that we will find a way to hold him back. However, you must also promise me something. "

Lin Dong nodded, knowing what he was going to say, and said, "I will ensure my safety."

"Deal." Ye Batian stretched out his fist, touched Lin Dong's small fist in mid-air, and separated again, "I used to think that you were a scholar who could eat, but you had a smarter mind, but now it seems that you and us are still the same." What a way. I admire you."

He patted Lin Dong on the shoulder, and then grabbed his younger brother's shoulder, "I invite you tonight, let's go have a big meal!"

Five days later, Li Sheng sent a letter.Li Mu found Lin Dong who was watching Ye Batian's sword dance in the garden, and said, "There is news."

Lin Dong stood up, the heat of summer made his forehead covered with a thin layer of sweat, the sun was scorching on the top of his head, birds were singing in his ears, and the flowers in the garden were fragrant, but his face did not match the scene, even Some nervous.

"Tomorrow night, Aunt Haotian will be [-] years old. He has invited many officials and wealthy businessmen. At that time, the family will be short of life. Starting tomorrow morning, his housekeeper will set up a temporary recruitment site at the side door. This is the only chance to get in. .”

"Aunt Daji is so extravagant?" Ye Batian put away his sword and came over, "What about his mother Daji?"

"It will be even more exaggerated than this." Li Mu said: "This man Haotian will never let go of any opportunity to show his loyalty to the emperor. He borrowed his aunt's favor and sent many things to the palace, saying that it is because of today's wise governance. , so that they can live a stable life. I don’t know how many words of praise have been said, and people who don’t know it think it’s the empress dowager’s big brother.”

Ye Batian sneered, "Why don't I get in too?"

"No." Lin Dong refused, "What did you promise me?"

Ye Batian pouted, raised his hand and scratched his neck.

Li Mu looked at Lin Dong and said seriously, "Is it necessary to go?"

"I have to go."

Li Mu sighed, and took out a set of sleeve arrows from his cuff, "Take this, and this."

He gave him another small dagger.

"Just in case, even if you can't do anything, you must protect yourself."

"Thank you." Lin Dong said the truth. He carefully put away all his things, and then said, "I will move out tonight, so as not to reveal flaws when they check the background."

"That's right." Li Mu nodded, "I'll let someone..."

"No need, I'll go by myself." Lin Dong said: "From now on, I'm just a foreigner who just entered Chang'an, and I don't know anyone."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Ye Batian, Ye Qingshan, and then at Li Mu, saluted once again, turned around and left in a hurry.

He didn't have much luggage, so he took out the fine mink furs, scarves and overcoats that Zang Feilong bought for him, and only brought ordinary clothes, poured out all the money, put them in another box, and put them in another box. He only carried a small pan that was enough to eat.

After careful inspection, there was nothing wrong with it. Lin Dong slipped out from the side door, walked around the alley, and arrived at the gate of Chang'an City, and then walked up the official road as if he had just entered the city.

He deliberately chose the north gate, which was the most strictly checked, and it was also the most common gate among the passing merchants.The so-called ordinary, Chang'an City has four gates, the east gate is only for nobles, the south gate is for rich and powerful merchants, the west gate is for ordinary shippers, and the north gate is for common people who can't afford to pay the gate fee. .

He walked along the official road at the north gate to the inner city of Chang'an. Compared with the east and south, the north side was not very prosperous. There were dilapidated bungalows, large family yards, dilapidated thatched huts, and there were relatively small theater gardens and juggling troupes mixed in. At the same time, there are also gambling houses and brothels.

It can be regarded as a gathering place of three teachings and nine streams.

Lin Dong was not in a hurry, he walked all the way, found a nearby food stall and ate some rice porridge and steamed buns, and wandered around outside the theater before entering the inner city, and the surrounding scenery began to be bustling.

Someone in the tea shed talked about an important event in Hao's mansion tomorrow, and said that the temporary workers paid a lot of money. Lin Dong sat next to those speakers for a while, then got up and went to Hao's mansion to look for it.

He also asked several people for directions on the way, and some aunts saw that he was cute and gave him some big pears.

Lin Dong put them in his arms, took another one in his hand, and while chewing, he found the main entrance of Hao Mansion.

The red-lacquered gate is framed in gold, and there are two large stone lions at the foot of the stone steps, and bronze bells are hung from the angled eaves.

He looked at the main entrance for a while, when a guard came to chase him away, he wandered to the side entrance again, and saw an old man with a vegetable basket coming out of the side entrance, so he walked over to ask.

"Uncle, is this the Hao Mansion?"

"That's right." The old man squinted his eyes and looked at people, "Little baby, this is not where you came from, go play somewhere else."

"I heard that there will be a shortage of people here tomorrow, so we will hire people." Lin Dong said with a smile, "I want to ask, when will we hire people?"

"Tomorrow morning." The old man walked out with a vegetable basket, "You want to come?"

"I just came to Chang'an, and I don't know many people. I want to find a job first."

"That's the place to look for comparisons." The uncle walked out of the alley, looked around, and lowered his voice, "Master Haotian is a high-ranking official, and it's not easy to do things in this door."

"I heard that there is a lot of money." Lin Dong blinked his big eyes, looking extremely innocent.

"Then you come early tomorrow morning." The uncle said: "They only recruit people they know to do these jobs. You come early, give some money to the porter, maybe they will let you in."

Lin Dong cheerfully agreed, "Thank you uncle."

Sending off the uncle, Lin Dong walked around Hao's mansion again, familiarized himself with the location, made sure there were several small doors and side doors, and which door was for what purpose, then left, found a nearby inn, and asked for A Tongpu, live here.

Before Lin Dong was a guest of a nobleman, he ate all the good things and dressed well. He was sent in a carriage when he went out, and he also had his servants at his disposal.

Later, he followed Zang Feilong, but he never treated him badly.

Those who go out live in upper houses, in Tongpu, this is Lin Dong's first time.

Nothing happened during the day, but at night a few big men slept on top of each other, with their shoulders touching their shoulders and their feet touching their feet. The sound of snoring was like thunder. In addition, the weather was hot, and the smell of sweat and feet in the room was all together. Lin Dong subconsciously wanted to cover himself with the quilt. Shrinking in and lowering his head, the smell on the quilt was even heavier.

The child almost vomited, kicked off the quilt, folded his arms on his back, and couldn't sleep with his eyes open.

Good thing it was only for one night.

Lin Dong sighed and thought of Zang Feilong again.Now that I am such an adult, I can't even bear this kind of thing, not to mention how old Zang Feilong was alone?

How did he live alone before he met his master again?Maybe I don't have to sleep in the connected bunk, nesting in the haystack, under the big tree, or wandering on the street every day?

Zang Feilong never mentioned these, those scars are hidden in the deepest place, and I am afraid that he will never reveal them to anyone in his life.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Dong felt that it was no big deal for him to spend the night, so he closed his eyes and tried his best to let himself fall asleep.

Unfortunately, if you can't sleep, you can't sleep.

On the second day, Lin Dong checked out of the room with dark circles under his eyes, and went to Hao Mansion with a tired face on his back.

At this time, the sky was just getting bright, and it was early in summer, and a few rays of golden orange sunlight could already be seen in the thin morning light.

He found the side door, and sure enough, he saw someone setting up wooden tables there, and there were even people queuing up.

"You, you, what is your background? What will you do?" The man who looked like a housekeeper asked fiercely.

Those people answered one by one, and if he was qualified, the housekeeper gave him a sign, gave him clothes, and let him go.

Lin Dong looked at it for a while, and noticed that there was a guard-like man next to the butler, who was big and thick, and glared ferociously.

After thinking for a while, he took out a few Tong Baolai from his purse, held them in his palm, walked around the people in line, and walked to the big man.

The big man saw him and was about to scold him, but Lin Dong hurriedly stuffed the money into his hand.

"I, I can read, I have read books!"

The big man blinked, seeing that he was handsome, he weighed the money in his hand again, smiled, turned his head and whispered something to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper turned to look at Lin Dong, "Are you literate?"

"Yes!"

"Write a few and let me see."

He handed over the pen on the wooden table, Lin Dong rolled up his sleeves, dipped it in ink, and wrote a large character on the paper beside him.

The housekeeper nodded, "Sure, you go to the kitchen and help read the recipes. There is also a list of betrothal gifts for the guests, help the people inside to check!"

"Yes!" Lin Dong hurriedly thanked him, took the sign and clothes again, and slipped through the door from the housekeeper.
