Chapter 91 You still dare to act arrogantly in front of me?
Shen Yulou's face revealed a faint smile, but at this moment, this smile looked like a devil in front of Zhang Anze and the others.
"We are from the Black Mountain Army. I am the squad leader Zhang Anze…"
Shen Yulou sneered. It was indeed the Black Mountain Army.
His mind raced. He had written to his uncle before, asking him to come to the Imperial City to conspire on important matters, but he had never received a reply.
This time, Shen Yulou came here personally. If he could infiltrate the enemy's interior, it would be much easier.
Wait!
Shen Yulou suddenly felt that this name was somewhat familiar; he seemed to have heard it somewhere.
"You… are you Graduate Zhang's son?"
Zhang Anze was startled, "You know my father? This Official, my father is indeed Graduate Zhang!"
Shen Yulou's expression changed slightly. He remembered now; he had seen this name in Consort Su's letter before, which was why it felt so familiar.
"Weren't you in the imperial prison?"
Zhang Anze recounted his experiences without reservation. Shen Yulou being able to say "Graduate Zhang" meant he must know his father.
After listening, Shen Yulou also clicked his tongue in wonder.
Helping Consort Su back then was just a convenient thing to do, thinking that Consort Su was an unfavored concubine in the palace, and there was no difference between her living in her own bedchamber and the Cold Palace.
It was precisely because of this that Shen Yulou lent her a hand, thinking she might be useful in the future.
But he never expected to meet Consort Su's elder brother in this place.
Shen Yulou immediately became enthusiastic, helping Zhang Anze up with both hands.
"So it's Brother Zhang, wasn't this a misunderstanding?"
"Your father, Graduate Zhang, and Her Highness Consort Su are all very good friends of mine. Some time ago, I even helped Her Highness Consort Su deliver a letter from the palace to your father.
Her Highness Consort Su always wanted Emperor Ren to pardon you all, but unfortunately, it didn't succeed."
Zhang Anze immediately became agitated, "This Official, you are in the palace as…"
Shen Yulou said, "I am Li Huai, the Director of the Imperial Medical Academy."
"So that's how it is!"
Shen Yulou said, "Not only am I an imperial physician, but I am also a spy from Wulin Kingdom. My purpose in infiltrating Hun Kingdom is to destroy Hun Kingdom.
You've heard, haven't you? More than half of Emperor Ren's thirty-plus Imperial Heirs have already died, and most of that is my doing."
Zhang Anze's pupils contracted, and his eyes showed a look of horror. This person actually had such capabilities?
To be able to kill more than a dozen Imperial Princes without being discovered, wasn't that too terrifying?
Shen Yulou said, "I have long heard that the Black Mountain Army has grand ambitions. I wonder if we can cooperate this time? Take me to meet your Black Mountain Army leader."
Zhang Anze frowned, "This Official, how do you prove your identity?"
Shen Yulou pointed to Song Hu, "This is Song Hu, Wulin Kingdom's first vanguard. His physique and appearance are unique in the world; you can inquire about him."
Song Hu snorted. Shen Yulou was truly good at spouting nonsense. In such a short time, he had gone from an imperial physician to a spy.
Song Hu was too lazy to speak, letting Shen Yulou do all the talking. He would at most nod in cooperation.
And Qingqing, hidden under the covers, also felt a jolt in her heart when she heard this.
Was it too dangerous for Shen Yulou to impersonate a spy?
Even if he could really meet her uncle, how would he kill him?
Could Song Hu alone kill her uncle from within the rebel army and then retreat safely?
Song Hu was only highly skilled in martial arts, not a god. Even Li Hui couldn't achieve that, could he?
Zhang Anze glanced at Song Hu, his mouth twitching fiercely.
Just now, Song Hu beat them as if they were children, without any effort.
This strength was indeed somewhat terrifying.
Zhang Anze said, "Lord Li, I can go back and help explain, but I can't guarantee whether it will work."
Shen Yulou said, "You go back and report truthfully. As long as your leader is willing to cooperate, I will write a letter and immediately dispatch Wulin Kingdom's forces to come and support. At that time, we will conquer Hun Kingdom together and share the world!"
Zhang Anze left the inn with his two followers.
After leaving, their legs were still trembling.
"Brother Zhang, is this person really a Wulin Kingdom spy?"
"Hard to say. Let's go back and ask the leader! Let the leader make the decision!"
After the three left, Qingqing fumbled to put on her clothes under the covers and crawled out.
"Lord Shen, you must not act rashly. How can we three kill the rebels?"
Qingqing also knew the purpose of this trip, which was mainly to kill this convenient uncle, otherwise, they would all be implicated and die.
Shen Yulou said, "No rush, let's first blend in and then plan in the long run. Song Hu, you go to the Tianyuan Prefecture yamen and call the prefect over!"
Shen Yulou handed the token to Song Hu.
Song Hu immediately set off.
Qingqing was a little nervous, "According to the imperial edict, the prefect will assist us in detoxifying the soldiers in Qinghe County, but if you want to infiltrate the rebels, will the prefect help?"
Shen Yulou said, "Don't talk about that anymore. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold. Song Hu will be back in a while. Come, let's go for a second round."
...Hu Jingsheng, the prefect of Tianyuan Prefecture, frowned and followed Song Hu to the inn.
At this time, there was a hint of displeasure between his brows.
Being woken up in the middle of the night, he naturally wouldn't be happy.
"This Official has to command soldiers and arrange government affairs during the day. Why does an imperial physician not rush to the front line to detoxify the soldiers, but instead calls This Official here?"
Song Hu remained silent. He also didn't know what Shen Yulou wanted to do, to avoid saying the wrong thing, so it was best not to speak.
Hu Jingsheng snorted and patiently came to the inn.
After entering the room, Qingqing had already put on her clothes, her face flushed, and stood aside. Shen Yulou was sitting upright on the bed.
After Hu Jingsheng pushed the door open and came in, he saw Shen Yulou and said coldly.
"Why did you call This Official here?"
He knew who Shen Yulou was and what he was here for.
He was just an internal affairs official, although he was also a fourth-rank official, on the same level as him.
But a prefect was the local emperor here, and his power was far beyond what a mere internal affairs official could compare to.
So Hu Jingsheng was very dissatisfied. Logically, Shen Yulou should have gone to visit him and even given him some gifts.
If it weren't for Song Hu looking a bit fierce, Hu Jingsheng wouldn't have come at all.
Shen Yulou suddenly shouted loudly.
"Song Hu, make him kneel and speak!"
Song Hu slapped Hu Jingsheng's shoulder from behind, and a force like Mount Tai pressing down struck him.
Hu Jingsheng fell to his knees with a thud, and then Shen Yulou stood up and slapped him.
"Useless! Do you know that This Official was almost assassinated tonight? How do you serve as this prefect? Is what you have on your neck a chamber pot?"
Hu Jingsheng was stunned by the slap.
Qingqing stood by, also terribly nervous. This was the prefect!
Shen Yulou was just the Deputy Supervisor of the Imperial Heirs Residence. In the palace, he was a fourth-rank official, but outside the palace, who would recognize him?
But the prefect's power was immensely great, absolutely incomparable to Shen Yulou's.
Yet this fellow, as soon as they met, without distinguishing right from wrong, slapped someone first.
Hu Jingsheng covered his face and only regained his senses after a long while.
"You… you are so audacious, how dare you hit This Official?"
"You still dare to be arrogant in front of This Official? This Official is ordered by His Majesty and has the power to execute first and report later. Trash like you deserves to die, Song Hu! Kill him!
