Chapter 108 Who is the fisherman? (2)
In fact, the reason that Situ Yuanxiao targetted her was probably because of Lin Qing. Although, Lin Qing has gone, Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao would not tolerate it if Lin Qing’s people gained power in the army.
Zhao Zimu also didn’t understand why Situ Yuanxiao saw her as a threat. Could it be that she looked like someone dangerous? There were many capable people in the army. Instead of focusing on her, he could better attract some talented people. Why be afraid of her, this little humble soldier?
It wasn’t wrong for Zhao Zimu to think like this. It was just that Chen Jin was still here. It wouldn’t be easy for anyone to make small moves under his eyes. If he attracted Chen Jin’s dislike, many of their plans in the army would put to waste.
Therefore, it was better to use the most common and appropriate way. Use his own effort to accumulate merits bit by bit in the army and foster influence. Like that, even if Chen Jin knew, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to them and he may even turn a blind eye because this world was their Situ clan’s. As long as they stood in the right, who would dare to be unreasonable with them?
After understanding this, Zhao Zimu once again made the ‘after you’ gesture. Then, she bowed and said, “Three arrows, Your Highness should finish shooting it all at once. So, it will be faster and simpler.”
Situ Yuanxiao glanced once at her without a sound. He raised the longbow in his hand again and shot two more arrows at the target a hundred meters away.
Ten rings, nine rings!
There was another applause. Sure enough, fifth prince didn’t have an undeserved reputation. No wonder, he came under Chen Jin’s teaching at a young age. It was said that he was adept at riding, shooting and all kinds of other skills and had quite the aura of the Great Ancestor!
This handsome young man has the same mother as His Highness the crown prince. There is a bright future ahead of him!
The compliments and cheers were endless. Who said that these people from the army didn’t have astuteness? It was just that their astuteness was small and they would use it on the right time. Who didn’t know how to sing another praise? Moreover, this was the field of the fifth prince. He had face and being his underling, they also had face. If they accidentally had been noticed by Situ Yuanxiao because of a flattery, their life may become wonderful and different as a result.
Such a loud noise attracted Chen Jin who was inspecting in the nearby camp. He commanded the whole northwest army. Although, he didn’t have to do many things personally, but he would still attend some things personally. Like that, he could control some circumstances of his subordinates.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people on the military drill ground. Chen Jin said to the person behind him, “Under whose supervision is that Zhao Zhong now?”
A person behind him immediately responded, “Answering general, he is under the command of general Huang Ji’s subordinate commander Yun Sen. He is a member of commander Yun Sen’s troop of thousand.”
Chen Jin stopped speaking after hearing that and just watched the two people in the distance.
Situ Yuanxiao was naturally proud of achieving such good results. The provocative expression appeared again on his face. He couldn’t hide it.
If Zhao Zimu didn’t guess wrong, this person had also always been like this in the imperial capital. His solemn expression was only to establish prestige in the army, but he would still show some of his original character when he was not careful.
She heard that although this person was young, he was the most unscrupulous in front of emperor Jinghui. He dared to act courageous enough and take responsibility for it and his personality was more straightforward than his brothers. Now, Zhao Zimu thinks that he didn’t lack some shrewdness that he should have.
Zhao Zimu could be sure that he definitely came up with the idea to cause her trouble by himself. It was impossible for Situ Yaohua to be aware of the situation here from a thousand miles away. Moreover, the news that Lin Qing was not dead had just been sent back to the imperial capital. Situ Yaohua wouldn’t be able to act so fast. Also, he should be getting messed up by Lin Qing at the moment.
Indeed, after Lin Qing left Liang capital, the chess pieces he left helped Situ Wenrui and Situ Yaohua fight to death. Many important officials had been pushed down their horses. Furthermore, just when the both of them were caught off guard, Lin Qing returned.
Also, the first thing that Lin Qing did when he returned was to take back the power and take away Lin Jiu’s power. Lin Qing knew about every deed that Lin Jiu did. His purpose for leaving Xiao Lianzi in the capital was to monitor his ambitious godson while helping him help Situ Wenrui fight Situ Yaohua. Otherwise, how could he easily let Lin Jiu run amok?
Honestly speaking, all of this was Lin Qing’s crafty scheme. Knowing that Situ Yaohua and Situ Wenrui were afraid of the consequences of offending him, the two of them wouldn’t do anything to each other easily. Knowing that his godson in name was very ambitious, he still let him use his power.
Therefore, Lin Qing was easily forced away by Situ Yaohua and left to a far away place. Give everyone a chance, otherwise, how could the fight start and who could become this fisherman?
Everything went as Lin Qing expected. He was in the northwest, had the cool eye of a bystander and watched the fights of the court. He sat alone at ease in a fishing boat despite the storms and waited to see how many dragons and turtles he could catch in the muddy water of the court.
