Chapter 159 Chen Mu
On the road from the entrance to the imperial city, people began to repair the damaged stone bricks on the road surface, and the frequency of sweeping and sweeping increased. Soon, the people in the capital knew about the important event of Yu Liu's visit.
For the people who work hard day after day, this is something new that will be talked about for a long time.
Lin Hao didn't care about Yu Liu's visit at all. She was focused on finding the owner of those eyes.
Changchun Street is bustling in the spring. Pedestrians coming and going are wearing brightly colored clothes, and the air is filled with intoxicating floral fragrance.
Lin Hao walked slowly on the street. Although she was wearing soft and light embroidered shoes, her steps seemed heavy.
Since her rebirth, she has been avoiding coming here.
In the nightmarish memory, it was too cold here, as if it was always that snowy day, her blood spread over the snow, and her cold body remained here forever.
This was a place that gave her nightmares.
But I have to come and take a look after all.
It was on this street that she met the man that night.
At the time, she thought he was a pursuer from Emperor Pingle's faction, but he blocked a knife for her. In that moment, she thought he had come to save her. But after being reborn and recalling that moment countless times, she had other ideas.
They must have just met by chance.
He must have been injured at the time, fleeing like her. When she fell into his arms, she smelled a strong smell of blood, which was not caused by a recent injury.
He might have suffered serious injuries a long time ago, but the situation at the time did not allow her to think too much, and she ignored his staggering steps.
Why was he injured? Which group was able to chase him on the streets of the capital?
What puzzled her most was why he took the knife for her? Was it simply because he was about to die and wanted to do a good deed?
who is he?
Lin Hao didn't understand. He hadn't even seen the other person's face, but why did his heart seem to be entangled by silk threads when he thought of him, and he felt a subtle and dense pain.
She knew that if she couldn't find this person, it would become a knot in her heart.
Changchun Street wasn't very wide, with various small shops lining both sides, and most of the people who walked here were ordinary people. However, after crossing an alley, there was a respectable and wide street, which had recently been the focus of government renovations.
Lin Hao actually knew very well that even if she came here, she would not be able to meet that person, but this was the place where they met after all. What if there was a clue?
The bluestone road was cold, hard and long, as if it had no end. Lin Hao looked around and suddenly stopped. He felt as if he had been poured with a basin of ice water and froze in place.
Her instant pale face startled Baozhu: "Girl, what's wrong?"
Lin Hao regained consciousness, controlled his trembling fingertips, and tried his best to speak in a calm tone: "It's okay. Don't talk, just follow me."
She walked forward, seemingly strolling casually as before, but in fact her eyes were always following someone.
He was a thin man in his thirties, with ordinary facial features, which together gave people a cold and stern feeling.
It was the person who led the hunt for her in her previous life!
This is also the reason why Lin Hao's face suddenly changed.
She couldn't help but be shocked when she met the people who were chasing her on the same street.
After observing for a while, Lin Hao was sure that the other party's appearance here had nothing to do with her.
She was a little amused.
Things have changed a long time ago, and the appearance of this person certainly has nothing to do with her. What remains unchanged is that she knows the other person's identity.
The man was a man whom Emperor Pingle trusted very much, his name was Chen Mu. Unlike his teacher, who later changed his mind and decided to help Emperor Pingle regain the throne, Chen Mu had always been Emperor Pingle's most staunch supporter, using ruthless means and acting radically.
His appearance in the capital was obviously not a simple matter.
Lin Hao watched the other party enter a teahouse, hesitated slightly, and walked in with Baozhu.
The teahouse has two floors. There were many people drinking tea in the lobby, but that man went straight to the second floor.
"Are there any elegant rooms?" Lin Hao asked the waiter.
"You came at the right time, young lady. There's only one room left upstairs."
"Please lead the way."
"Please go upstairs, young lady." The waiter said warmly and walked up the stairs.
Lin Hao stepped onto the stairs and looked back at the man who had walked to the door of the elegant room.
Her heart tightened, but her face remained expressionless.
People like Chen Mu, whose identities are not public, are far more sensitive and cautious than ordinary people, so she must be extremely careful.
Fortunately, the elegant room that the waiter led Lin Hao into was just next door.
After sending the waiter away with a few copper coins, Lin Hao pointed to the wall.
Baozhu understood and immediately took out a pair of bamboo tubes from the cloth bag she carried with her: "Miss, here."
This pair of bamboo tubes connected by thin threads had been very useful in helping Chen Yi recognize the true identity of the Prince of Pingjia. Now it was time for them to come into play again.
Baozhu didn't even ask why her daughter was eavesdropping on what was happening next door. Instead, she walked to the door smartly, watching for anyone suddenly coming in.
Lin Hao fastened one bamboo tube to the wall and put the other to his ear, listening carefully.
There was a sound of conversation next door, and it was obvious that someone was there before Chen Mu went in.
"Disagree? Why would he disapprove? If we don't seize such a good opportunity, how long will it take for us to succeed?"
The voice was cold and deep. Although his memory was fuzzy, Lin Hao could still tell that it was Chen Mu who was speaking.
After a brief silence, another voice rang out: "The master said that this would allow Da Qi and Yu Liu to join forces to deal with Da Zhou."
Lin Hao's eyes narrowed.
It’s Du Qing!
A sneer rang out: "So what? Has your master forgotten who his master is?"
"Sir, you haven't forgotten. But if Yu Liu and Da Qi join forces, the people will suffer."
"When the master got into trouble, I didn't see the people feel sorry for him."
There was another silence, and Du Qing said, "In short, if the master doesn't approve of you doing this, I won't provide any assistance."
"Tsk, without your help, I can't accomplish anything?"
Then came the sound of a chair being pulled.
Lin Hao hurriedly put away the bamboo tube and walked gently to the door.
The door was slightly ajar, and through the tiny gap, I saw Chen Mu walking quickly.
What shocked Lin Hao was that Chen Mu glanced at this elegant room when he passed by.
At that moment, she even thought she was discovered, and her heart beat wildly for a few times before she calmed down.
After waiting for a while, Du Qing did not come out. Lin Hao returned to his seat and leisurely drank two cups of tea and ate a piece of dessert. Then he asked Baozhu to go downstairs to pay the bill.
After walking out of the teahouse, Lin Hao looked around, but there was no trace of Chen Mu.
She felt a little regretful for not being able to catch up in time, but she knew that with the other party's vigilance, if she followed him into the teahouse and then followed him out of the teahouse, she would probably be discovered on the spot.
When it comes to tracking, she is far less skilled than Du Qing.
By the way, did Du Qing follow her this time?
This thought flashed through Lin Haofu's mind, and he suddenly turned around, and saw Du Qing walking not far behind him, with his walking posture obviously stiffened.
At that moment, Lin Hao felt a sense of regret: Du Qing's ability to track people has also regressed.
