Ma Hong hurriedly approached Lin Yuanfang and said in a low voice: "The people of Liaodong have already attacked, Chu Huan's Northwest Army has also entered the customs, Hexi will fall sooner or later, and this Great Qin Empire will soon be finished." I wanted to take this opportunity, I first ran to Hujin, accumulated some savings, and then something really happened, we will not have no way back, and now everything is over. Lin Butang, it seems that we are in a hurry, and Dingwu is not easy to deal with. Quite complained: "I'll just say wait and see, don't be anxious, it's good now, hey!" ”

"The people of Liaodong are coming, if you don't prepare now, when will you wait?" Lin Yuanfang frowned and said: "Now is not the time to complain to each other, Ma Butang, let's stay here, no matter whether Dingwu wins or loses in the end, I'm afraid we will all be unable to escape death, what to do next, do you have any ideas?" ”

Ma Hong shook his head and said, "What else can be done now?" Don't you forget, our emperor, even his own brother dares to do it, let alone you and me? ”

Lin Yuanfang twisted his beard and said: "Because of this, we are in danger, and we have to come up with countermeasures, otherwise we can only sit and wait for death." ”

"Lin Butang, what good ideas do you have?" Ma Hong asked hurriedly.

Lin Yuanfang's face did not change and shook his head.

Ma Hong observed his words, but said in a low voice: "Lin Butang, we are now grasshoppers on the same rope, no matter who has something, the other will definitely be unlucky, if you have any good countermeasures, you should say it early, let's prepare early." ”

"There's nothing good to deal with." Lin Yuanfang groaned slightly, and then lowered his voice and said, "But if you want to get out, it's not difficult." ”

"Oh?"

"Dingwu has actually missed us for a long time." Lin Yuanfang sneered: "Ma Butang, don't you forget jì, when we were in Luo'an Capital City, we didn't fight with the princelings, do you think Dingwu will be so easy to forget the past things?" Originally, I had been thinking that since he became the emperor, he should be able to take care of the overall situation, abandon his past suspicions, and no longer care about the past things, but today I found that this person can always have evil thoughts about us. ”

Ma Hong nodded and said, "I naturally understand this." He didn't do anything to us for a long time, firstly, because at this time, if he killed the minister without permission, it would make people even more panicked, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in Hexi, he naturally still had to stabilize people's hearts. Another reason, but because we can still do things for him, there are not many people around him who can do things, but he is still wary of Hexi people, so he can only temporarily appoint us! ”

Lin Yuanfang sneered: "The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden." Now, we have to think about leaving, we can't stay here anymore. ”

"Leave?" Ma Hong was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said: "But he has already become wary of us, but I am afraid that he has sent someone to secretly target us, if we act rashly!" ”

Lin Yuanfang shook his head and sneered: "You think too much about him." Now that the Liaodong Army has come over, and the Northwest Army is also eyeing us, how much attention do you still have on us? He didn't depose you from your official position, you are still in charge of requisitioning money and food, and if you want to find an excuse to get out of the city, it's easy, and I have my own way to get out of the city! ”

Ma Hong hesitated for a moment before sighing lightly: "Lin Butang, it is indeed not difficult to get out of the city, but what about after leaving the city?" All our family wealth is in the capital, and now it has already fallen into the hands of the thieves of Tianmen Dao, and even the family members are now unknown in life and death. After leaving the city, we are empty-handed, and our hometown is also occupied by the Tianmen Daoists, even if we return to our hometown, our clansmen are all there, but hey, but we are so wolf-bèi and returned, how will they think of us? Dingwu will not give up, maybe he will send someone to hunt us down! The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the future was bleak, and I finally climbed to the position of the sixth hall official, but now it is difficult to enjoy the glory, and I am even more worried about my life, I sighed, and I was extremely helpless.

Lin Yuanfang said lightly: "Ma Butang, you are in charge of money and food, you are good at calculation, you can't imagine that things are coming, but you have no idea like this." ”

"Lin Butang, what do you mean by this?"

"Since we are leaving, we naturally can't just run back to our hometown empty-handed." Lin Yuanfang said lightly: "We have finally sat in the position of the sixth hall official, such a gray-headed wolf bèi is unbearable to go back, and there is indeed no face to see my father and fellow villagers." ”

Ma Hong sighed: "That's the truth. And you and I are both scholars, even if we escape back to our hometown, what can we do? ”

"Naturally, we can't all go back to our hometowns." Lin Yuanfang said softly: "Since we are leaving, we naturally have to find a place where we can really give full play to our talents." ”

"Oh?" Ma Hong was stunned, "Lin Butang, do you mean to take refuge in the enemy?" ”

"For us, the current enemy is Dingwu, and as long as it is the enemy of Dingwu, they are all our friends." Lin Yuanfang smiled gloomily, "Liaodong Red Liandian, Northwest Chu Huan, Hebei Qingtian King, and even Jinling Xu Chang, these people are all great enemies of the Qin State, and each of them wants to be the emperor and replace them with martial arts!" ”

Ma Hong immediately shook his head and said: "It's easy to say, let's take refuge like this, can they take us in?" And that Chu Huan, when he was an official in the capital, he had some problems with me, if we took refuge in him, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not declare personal vendettas. ”

"You are really wrong, although there are many bandits in the world, but if you think about it carefully, I am afraid that the only ones who really have the strength to attack Hexi are Chu Huan and Chi Liandian." Lin Yuanfang stroked his beard, "Hebei Qingtian King and Jinling Xu Chang and the like, although they are also divided from one side, but after all, it is difficult to become a big weapon, since we want to take refuge, we can only choose one of the two from the red refining electricity and eliminating trouble." ”

Ma Hong hurriedly said: "If you really want to leave, go to the red refining electricity." We are very clear about the situation on this side of Hexi, and the money, food, soldiers and horses in Hexi are all on my account book, as long as you bring the account book! ”

"You're thinking too simply." Lin Yuanfang said with a smile: "This account book, of course, has some effect, but do you think that with the account book, the red refining electricity will give us high-ranking officials?" ”

Ma Hong frowned and said, "But we can't take out anything else in our hands except these." ”

Lin Yuanfang's eyes suddenly became cold, and he lowered his voice: "Ma Butang, since we want to do it, do we dare to make a big deal, once it is done, no matter who we go to, high-ranking officials will never be a problem." ”

"Huh?" Ma Hong's eyes showed a look of joy, "Lin Butang, say it quickly, what kind of deal?" ”

Lin Yuanfang leaned close to Ma Hong's ear and whispered a few words, the trace of joy on Ma Hong's face suddenly disappeared, showing a shocked look, and he lost his voice: "Isn't this looking for death?" ”

"If we leave empty-handed, what's the difference between death and death?" Lin Yuanfang's expression became cold, "As long as we really succeed, it is really easy for us to be prosperous, rich, noble and generous, otherwise it will be very difficult to defect to others and turn over." He smiled coldly and said, "What, Ma Butang, don't you have the guts?" Or if you're really afraid, I didn't say it. ”

Ma Hong pondered for a moment, and finally lowered his voice and said, "But do you know where that thing is?" ”

"Ma Butang is so confused." When Lin Yuanfang heard Ma Hong say this, he knew that Ma Hong was moving, and chuckled: "We have seen him issue an edict several times, and that thing is in that study." ”

"Oh?"

Lin Yuanfang said softly: "Let's go to see him today, I just passed by that study, there was no one around to guard, the nearest guard was at least thirty steps away from the study!" ”

"You mean, let's find a chance to steal the jade seal?" Ma Hong's face turned pale.

Lin Yuanfang bowed slightly, "As far as I know, these days, Mrs. Liuli is going to Concubine Xuehua's side every once in a while, as long as she leaves, there is no one else around Dingwu, he has set up heavy guards around the house, but there are not many people inside, even Zhao Quan, who has been protecting him closely, these days, as long as Mrs. Liuli goes out, she will follow her to guard!" Fu Xu said: "Let's go to see him these days, eight times out of ten, we don't see him in the study, as long as we go in when Mrs. Liuli leaves, there may not be no chance to steal the jade seal." ”

The corners of Ma Hong's eyes twitched, and he said in a low voice: "But as long as he finds out, we will be crushed!" ”

"That's why it's called a big deal." Lin Yuanfang gritted his teeth and said: "If it is done, we have the jade seal in our hands, and we will dedicate it to Chi Lian Dian or Chu Huan, how do you think they will treat us?" Feng Poyu and Zhou Ting were both named marquises, and the two of us haven't even been rewarded with a title so far, so that's fine, but Dingwu not only rewarded us, but also prepared to do something to us. If we sacrifice the jade seal, once they succeed, even if they can't be crowned kings, there will definitely be no fewer marquises. ”

Ma Hong's muscles twitched, his two hands rubbed together, there was excitement in his eyes, but more fear, he looked nervous, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Let me think about this matter!" Then he thought of something, and lowered his voice and said, "Lin Butang, did you plan to escape from Hexi a long time ago, and even thought about stealing the jade seal?" ”

Lin Yuanfang frowned and said, "Why did Ma Butang say that? ”

"Otherwise, how could you know so much about Lady Liuli's whereabouts?" Ma Honghu said suspiciously: "And I remember that Dingwu is often not in the study!" Suddenly, his body shook, and he raised his hand and said, "You and I understand, I understand, Lin Yuanfang, you have made me miserable!" ”

"Why did Ma Butang say this?"

"I understand, you persuaded me to borrow Mei Long's excerpt to make trouble for Mei Long, and find a chance to go to Hujin, I was still wondering, you are so kind to help me go to Hujin, it turns out!" Ma Hong showed annoyance: "It turns out that you have long known that as long as we mention this matter, Dingwu will definitely be in trouble, I am desperate, you can just win me over to steal the jade seal with you." There are not many people who can go in and see Dingwu, and you alone have no way to steal the jade seal, so you hit me with the idea, and from the very beginning, you wanted me to be your accomplice and help you steal the jade seal! Pointing at Lin Yuanfang, he said angrily: "Lin Yuanfang, Lin Yuanfang, you are too dark, you want to find death yourself, but you still have to pull me on your back." ”
