Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 33 Secret Words of the League
Lin Zhongtian was speechless when he heard the words: "Then why did you create this alliance?"

Zhao Lihe explained: "For self-protection, by the way, give those descendants of the Qi Family Army who do not want to be loyal to Daming a home. Moreover, although the Alliance is a bit stronger now, it is still an intelligence organization in the final analysis, and it has nothing to do with rebellion, right?"

"...Then do you know what your alliance is doing now?"

"doing what?"

"They are recruiting righteous men from all over the place and bewitching them to rebel."

"what?"

Zhao Lihe was a little dumbfounded.

Lin Zhongtian was speechless: "You don't know, do you?"

Zhao Lihe felt a little wronged: "Brother, I'm in the sky prison, let alone the news from the League, even after I was imprisoned in the sky prison, I don't know what will happen to the brothers and the others!"

"..."

The corner of Lin Zhongtian's mouth twitched, and he and Zhao Lihe were speechless.

After drinking the pot of tea, Zhao Lihe thought about it and said, "Brother Lin, I have a way to contact Ding Xiu and the others, but I don't know if you would like to show up..."

"There's nothing you don't want to do."

Lin Zhongtian got up abruptly, picked up the sheathed sword that was slanted beside the stone table, and glanced at Zhao Lihe who was still sitting there.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Zhao Lihe shook his head, and said solemnly: "It's only one night since the sky prison was robbed, and it's the time when the whole city is under martial law. If I take the risk to go with you, it will only drag you down. Brother, you should go alone. , I will tell you the way to contact Ding Xiu and the others, as well as the code to verify the identity of the League..."

"Wait!" Lin Zhongtian raised his head and interrupted him, and said with a smile, "You don't think your elder brother and I are not wanted?"

"Wanted must be wanted, but they don't know your appearance after all..."

"I'm not talking about robbing the prison. Before I rescued you, I was already a wanted criminal by the government."

"what?"

Zhao Lihe was dumbfounded again, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, what did you do?"

Lin Zhongtian said lightly: "It's nothing, I just saw a few officers and soldiers killing their good deeds, so I couldn't help but kill them."

"several?"

"Only 27 were killed at the beginning, but I can't remember how many were killed afterwards."

"..."

Zhao Lihe didn't know what to say, he could only sigh with emotion that someone with a high skill was bold.

Lin Zhongtian said with a smile: "Don't worry, I see that the military equipment in this capital is extremely lax. When I entered the city, I didn't even cover up my appearance. Not only did the city gate guard not recognize me as a wanted criminal, but even regarded me as a wanted criminal." Some noble son in the capital welcomes me into the city flatteringly, now that I think about it, I really laughed out loud."

Zhao Lihe shook his head: "Brother Lin, you should have just met the new city gate guard. I know the former city gate guard. He has strong martial arts skills and excellent eyesight. He can recognize wanted criminals in the crowd at a glance. He also knows the important people who come and go in and out of the capital, but it's a pity that this guy is a member of the eunuch party, and he should have been dealt with by Zhu Youjian now."

"So I'm just lucky?"

"Yes."

Zhao Lihe nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "How about this, Brother Lin, I'll tell you the secret word, you go outside Dongzhimen, find a white bark pine with a Y-shaped crack in the bark, and carve the secret word on the trunk, once they When you see the secret language, you will naturally come here to see me."

"no problem!"

Lin Zhongtian responded enthusiastically, and then asked suspiciously.

"But won't it be too obvious to engrave the secret language directly?"

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if someone finds out, because this secret word is not actually a secret word, it's just a dot on the bottom left of the vertical Y-shaped crack..."

After speaking, Zhao Lihe paused, and asked with a smile: "Brother, if I don't tell you how to decipher the secret language, can you figure out the real meaning behind the secret language?"

Lin Zhongtian thought about it enthusiastically, but quickly shook his head.

"Add a dot to the lower left of the Y word. This symbol can represent too many meanings."

"Then what if I tell you that the Y-shaped crack actually represents the Big Dipper?"

"The Big Dipper?" Lin Zhongtian thought for a while, and finally realized, "So it is!"

"Brother, do you want to understand?" Zhao Lihe asked with a smile.

"Of course." Lin Zhongtian nodded and replied with a smile, "Y stands for the Big Dipper, which means that what you care about is not the dipper, but the handle, and the biggest function of the handle in this era is to point the direction and judge the season. If the handle points to the east, it will be spring; if the handle points to the south, it will be summer; if the handle points to the west, it will be autumn; if the handle points to the north, it will be winter.”

"Now it's April Spring, and the handle of the bucket is naturally pointing to the east. A dot is engraved on the lower left of the handle, which means that you are hiding in the secret house in the southeastern part of the capital at the moment—how, am I right?"

"...As expected of a big brother!"

Zhao Lihe applauded in admiration, flattering in a moderate way.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and patted his shoulder: "Wait for my good news!"

After speaking, he then jumped and left the secret house.

The so-called secret house refers to a house that is hidden in the streets and alleys, and does not face the street.

Take Lin Zhongtian and Zhao Lihe's secret house as an example. The front and back doors of the house are not facing the street, but are next to several shops.

These shops surrounded the house in the middle, and there were no doors for entry and exit. The only way to communicate with the outside world was by climbing over the wall, or the hidden secret passage under the bed.

It's like a dark room hidden in the city.

There are not a few secret houses like this in the capital, and they are all used by those big figures to avoid disasters.

And the secret house where Zhao Lihe lived was actually purchased secretly by King Qin Zhu Yifu.

The secret passage under the bed was also dug by the people from Prince Qin's mansion whom he sent.

It's a pity that in the 46th year of Wanli, Qin Wang Zhu Yiwei died of illness, and his posthumous title was "Su". This secret house that he bought secretly before his death was abandoned because of this.

Later, when the power of the Tongmenghui reached the capital and bought the pharmacy in Zhaiyuanqian Street, it was only then that they discovered the secret house hidden behind the pharmacy.

As for how the Alliance knew that this secret house belonged to the King of Qin, it was very simple. They dug up several corpses of the servants of the King Qin’s Mansion in the outskirts of the forest connected by the secret road, and found a piece of paper with the words King Qin’s Mansion engraved on it. wooden sign.

I don't know if the people who did it were too careless at the time, or they didn't care at all, they didn't destroy the evidence that could prove the identity of these corpses, they just dug a hole on the spot, buried the corpses and just did nothing.

This is cheaper than the Tongmenghui. After confirming that no one in the Prince Qin's Mansion knew about this secret house, they immediately took it as their own.

The League has seven or eight secret houses that were obtained by similar means.

Therefore, Jin Yichuan and Ding Xiu could not determine the exact location of Zhao Lihe.

At noon, Jin Yichuan finally left the medical clinic, but what was different from when he came was that at this time, Jin Yichuan had a sachet exuding a faint medicinal fragrance in his hand, which was a gift from the medical clinic girl.

Smelling the refreshing medicinal fragrance from the sachet, Jin Yichuan couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

Fortunately, the hazy feelings that were still in the ambiguous period did not affect his way of acting.

Before entering Dongzhimen, Jin Yichuan habitually looked at the pine forest next to him.

With just one glance, Jin Yichuan's face changed drastically, and he stopped immediately to confirm carefully.

One minute later, Jin Yichuan hurried into Dongzhimen, dressed in a black flying fish suit, so that no one guarded the city gate dared to stop him.

At this time, Jin Yichuan's face had regained his composure, but the pace under his feet became faster and faster, and he couldn't help but bursts of excitement welling up in his heart.

"Great!"

"It turns out that Brother Zhao is in the secret house in the southeast city."

"I'm going to find a way to tell my brother this news right away."
