At the beginning, I angrily scolded the officials, I really want to die

Qi Daochun said so far.

Lin Huai finally realized it.

"Master, are you saying that the woman who assassinated Lu Yannian was a member of the Palace of the Underworld?"

Qi Daochun nodded.

"If there are no accidents, it should be like this!"

Qi Daochun finished speaking.

Zhao Jin'an, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

"The purpose of Lu Yannian's trip is to follow the order of the Empress of Xijin and the Lord of Lingxiaoya Pavilion to ask me, Da Zhao, to separate the two cities of Huiping and Yongyang."

"If you return without success right now, there will be many dangers on the way."

"It is inevitable that Lu Yannian died tragically in the territory of our Great Zhao, thus giving Xijin and Ling Xiaoya a handle."

"That's why I had no choice but to send Shi Pingshan and others to protect him secretly, trying to send him out of Da Zhao safely!"

"But who would have thought that the Palace of the King of Hades would step in and kill Lu Yannian!"

"In this way, I'm afraid that the two countries of Dazhao and Xijin will start a war again!"

Zhao Jin'an said it.

Difficult to suffer, full of sorrow, but helplessly turned into a long sigh.

But when Qi Daochun and Zhao Jin'an were both looking sad.

Lin Huai on the side.

At this time, he raised his right hand thoughtfully, rubbed his chin and asked leisurely.

"Well... I remember the envoys from Xijin, besides Lu Yannian, are there other people? Are they alive or dead now?"

Zhao Jinan was taken aback.

Then he murmured inexplicably.

"Based on the fierceness of the attack from the Palace of the King of the Underworld, the entire army of Xijin envoys should have been wiped out."

Listen up here.

Lin Huai asked again.

"Martial nephew, you are always surrounded by high-level people to protect you. You should have sent someone to monitor you when Lu Yannian entered the territory of Da Zhao, right?"

"Has he ever maintained correspondence with the Xijin court?"

Lin Huai finished speaking.

Zhao Jin'an lowered his head and thought for a while, and then shook his head and said after confirming that it was correct.

"There is no correspondence."
Lin Huai was not surprised by Zhao Jinan's answer.

In the past, there was Zhao Jin'an who had been infamous for twenty years, and later there was Zhou Guanchao, the treacherous prime minister, as his internal support.

Presumably, Lu Yannian had already decided in his heart that the party would definitely not return empty-handed this time, so he didn't pay much attention to the Zhao court at all.

Such a contempt for carelessness, naturally, he would not be as cautious as the previous envoys to other countries, and convey the progress of the ceding of the city by letter.

Think here.

Lin Huai spoke softly.

"Since there is no correspondence."

"Does it mean that the Xijin court doesn't know when Lu Yannian will leave for the country?"

When Zhao Jinan heard this, his eyes suddenly became clear.

"Uncle Master, could it be that he refuses to admit that Lu Yannian has ever been to my Great Zhao?"

Lin Huai shook his head.

"Don't admit it to death? How is it possible!"

"Na Lu Yannian came to Ding'an City from Xijin, the whole journey was extremely high-profile, and even my servants in the Lin family saw it with their own eyes."

"Even if the officials in the palace could die and refuse to admit their debts yesterday, what will the people of the country do?"

"Is it possible to issue an edict to let the whole world cooperate with us in acting?"

Zhao Jinan was obviously puzzled.

"What does Master mean?"

Lin Huai smiled.

"Since only we and the assassin from the Palace of Hades know about Lu Yannian's death."

"Why don't you find someone to pretend to be Lu Yannian, and wait until you enter the Xijin border, and then act out a scene of fake death?"

Lin Huai finished speaking.

Qi Daochun and Zhao Jin'an not only brightened their eyes.

As he said.

It is obviously nonsense to ask the people of Dazhao to help hide the truth.

If you only want to stage a scene of suspended animation on the border of Xijin, it is indeed much simpler and rude in comparison.

You can think of it here.

Zhao Jinan was a little puzzled again.

"However, what should we do if the news of Lu Yannian's death is first spread in the Palace of the King of Hell?"

Hear this.

Lin Huai still looked confident.

"What's there to worry about?"

"Since the Palace of the Underworld can spread the news of Lu Yannian's death, why can't we create the illusion that he is still alive?"

Zhao Jinan asked again.

"Create an illusion? How to create an illusion?"

"I also ask my uncle to express it!"

Seeing Zhao Jin'an humbly asking for advice.

Lin Huai didn't answer in a hurry, but suddenly raised his head and drank the tea on the table.

"Now that Lu Yannian is dead, we are obviously one step behind compared to Hades Palace."

"It's obviously too late to find someone to pretend to be Lu Yannian and make troubles everywhere, to create the illusion that he is not dead yet."

"So! We need a more convenient way!"

"That's... the newspaper!"

The voice fell.

Both Zhao Jin'an and Qi Daochun were stunned, and they both spoke together.

"Leopard... Leopard paper? What is it?"

Looking at the two people who are confused in front of them.

Lin Huai knew that the time was ripe, so he simply stopped hiding it.

Explain the idea about the newspaper in the study yesterday in detail.

It took a long time for a stick of incense.

It wasn't until Lin Huai's mouth was dry that the two people in front of him understood the newspaper he was talking about.

Compared to Qi Daochun, who was thoughtful at the side.

At this time, Zhao Jin'an was clearly emotional.

As the king of a country.

Zhao Jin'an is too aware of the power of public opinion that Lin Huai mentioned!

If it weren't for the people of Dazhao, who all thought he was a fatuous and incompetent person, how could Zhou Guanchao and other traitors who harbored rebellious intentions show their fox tails yesterday?

"Uncle Master is indeed worthy of the name of a sage!"

"To figure out such a sharp weapon of public opinion as a newspaper in just half a day!"

"Master is resourceful and resourceful, this junior really admires him!"

Hearing Zhao Jinan's fanatical praise.

Although Lin Huai was calm on the surface, he was already happy in his heart.

Ever since I came up with the damn good idea of ​​a newspaper yesterday.

Lin Huai was always worried about how to get Zhao Jin'an's support.

Right now, cutting Lu Yannian's Palace of the King of Hades with a horizontal kick, undoubtedly did him a great favor.

Just when Lin Huai secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Zhao Jin'an seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and asked again.

"But according to what my uncle said earlier, only by finding someone to pretend to be Lu Yannian and cooperating with the publication of the newspaper can the effect of being both true and false be achieved."

"This junior can hand over the matter of the newspaper to the uncle, but the people of Dazhao already know Lu Yannian's appearance. How can we find someone who is similar to him?"

Until Zhao Jinan's voice fell.

Lin Huai, immersed in joy, just woke up like a dream.

yes……

With the nod of Zhao Jin'an, who is the emperor of Zhao, the issue of publishing newspapers is naturally not a problem.

But where can I find the person who is very similar to Lu Yannian?
Just now Lin Huai wanted to bring up the topic of the newspaper.

So I couldn't think so deeply for a while.

Now that Zhao Jin'an mentioned it, he was speechless for a while and fell silent.

Just as Lin Huai was thinking about how to make sense of the matter.

Qi Daochun, who was silent at the side, spoke slowly at this moment.

"Actually... there is no need to find the person who looks similar to him at all."

Hear this.

Lin Huai and Zhao Jin'an first looked at each other in unison.

Then they said in unison with a tacit understanding.

"Do you have a way?"

Qi Daochun smiled without saying a word.

He slowly took out something from his arms and spread it in his hands.

The two looked up.

I saw that Qi Daochun's old palm was covered with a piece of black dough.

The whole body of the face is pitch black, and there are faint lights flashing from time to time.

When the sunlight shining through the window sill shone on it, it disappeared into the deep darkness like a mud cow entering the sea.

Seeing this.

Zhao Jin'an stood up suddenly with a thud, and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Master... Uncle Master, is this the rumored magic treasure that can cover even the breath without face?"

Qi Daochun nodded slightly when he heard the words.

"It's the earth-level magic weapon, without appearance or face!"
