Chapter 896 Stranger's Voice
The stranger's face was gloomy, with a hint of incredible indifference in his eyes.
"What are you doing here?" The stranger's voice was as cold as ice.
Zhao Aimin tried to explain, his voice hoarse, but the stranger ignored his explanation.He said, "I know you heard the plan, and I'm here to stop you. Don't try to interfere in the affairs of the palace, otherwise, the consequences will be serious."
Zhao Aimin’s lover stepped forward and said firmly, “We are only concerned about the future of the country. If you are unwilling to understand, then let us go.”
Zhao Aimin and his lover continue their quest to pursue the political intrigue within the palace.They began gathering evidence to try to learn more details about the coup plans.Late one night, they discover an important clue in an ancient book, a once-forgotten legend that is deeply connected to the coup.
Zhao Aimin gritted his teeth and tried to communicate with his lover, but due to damaged vocal cords, he could only carefully write down their findings.They then decided to convey this information to a close palace official who they believed might be supportive of the king.
"We must find him quickly and convey this news. This may be our last chance to reveal the coup plan." Zhao Aimin wrote this sentence and handed it to his lover.
When they quietly approached the palace official, he was visibly shocked by their message and left immediately to take action.Soon after, however, they learned that the official was arrested and charged with participating in the rebellion.This made them more worried and put them in danger.
Zhao Aimin and his lover understood that they had to take more measures to protect themselves and reveal the truth.They decided to try to contact those planning the coup to learn more details while looking for allies to protect themselves if a crisis came.
During their exploration, Zhao Aimin and his lover finally came into contact with an important figure related to the coup, this time a middle-aged palace official.They were guided to a secret underground chamber. The official looked wary and whispered, "You found some evidence about the coup, right?"
Zhao Aimin nodded, and then carefully took out the document containing the evidence from his arms.The official took the document and quickly browsed its contents, with a look of deep concern on his face.
"This is very important information," he said. "The coup plan does exist and has entered the final stage of preparation. The king must learn this news as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
They discussed how to deliver this crucial message to the king while protecting themselves.Officials suggested that they meet again, but this time in a safer place and that they contact other people loyal to the king in case of emergency.
Zhao Aimin and his lover left the darkroom with a sense of mission of an important mission.However, when they returned to their hideout, they found that it had been looted.All paperwork and hidden items were gone.
Panic enveloped them, and they knew that danger was imminent.They decided to leave the place immediately to protect themselves, but also realized that the threat of a coup was looming.
While continuing their escape, Zhao Aimin and his lover decided to head to a small town famous for its osmanthus wine.They had heard that the city was a hideout for political rebels, and that its many taverns and drinking dens might provide some useful information.
As they walked into the city, intoxicated by the scent of osmanthus and wine, they quickly realized that this was indeed the focus of political intrigue.People in the tavern whispered about the coup, while whispering intelligence and news.
Zhao Aimin and his lover chose a busy pub and sat in a hidden corner, hoping to capture useful clues.They ordered a pot of osmanthus wine and waited for their chance.
Soon, a stranger sat at the table next to them and said in a low voice, "You seem to be looking for some important information."
Zhao Aimin and his lover exchanged glances, then nodded, acquiescing to his words.
The stranger handed them a folded piece of paper with an address and time written on it.Then he whispered, "There are people out there who can help you, but you have to be careful, the coup plotters have their eyes and ears everywhere."
He left some gold coins and left the tavern.Zhao Aimin and his lover opened the note, which contained instructions for a secret meeting.
Zhao Aimin and his lover went to the designated location, a remote cabin.After knocking on the door, they were greeted by an unfamiliar woman with a nervous look on her face.
"Are you here looking for help?" the woman asked, her voice low.
Zhao Aimin nodded, and then replied cautiously, "We need to know more about the coup plan. We have evidence that this country will be seriously threatened."
The woman looked at them, then held out a hand, motioning for them to hand over their evidence.Zhao Aimin handed her the note they got in the Osmanthus Tavern, and she quickly read the content.
"This is important information," the woman said, "the coup plan is very close. But your arrival has also aroused their suspicion, and the intelligence has been leaked. You must leave the city immediately, otherwise you will be in great danger ."
Zhao Aimin and his lover looked at each other, understanding the seriousness of the situation.They need to act quickly to protect themselves while conveying what they know to be the truth to the king in order to thwart the coup plan.
"We will leave here, but please tell us how to contact you if we need more help?" Zhao Aimin asked.
The women provide a code and a secret rallying point, then warn them to proceed with caution.They left the hut, filled with uneasiness and understanding that they were in a dangerous situation.
Zhao Aimin and his lover decided to go to the code and secret gathering point provided by the woman. This was their only hope.They passed through dense woods and finally came to a secluded bamboo house.
When they pushed open the door of the bamboo house, they found a middle-aged man waiting inside.The man's eyes were firm and alert, and he was obviously an experienced resistance element.
"You are the couple from the city, right?" the man asked, with a hint of calmness in his voice.
Zhao Aimin nodded, and then told them their origins and mission.They told the man the details of the coup plan, as well as the information they had previously obtained at the Osmanthus Tavern.
