When Lan Changhe saw Han Yun, he gestured for him to take a seat and said, "Why are you here so late at night?"
Han Yun said seriously, "Elder Lan, this old man came today for the future of Elder Lan's family."
Lan Changhe's eyes narrowed. As someone who had always been by Li Daozong's side, he was sensitive to this. Obviously, Lan Changhe had already expected Han Yun's words. Lan Changhe stared at Han Yun and said in a deep voice, "Are you Du Qi's man?"
Han Yun said, "Officer Lan, my name is Han Yun. I'm just a merchant in Chang 'an City and not Du Qi's man. I'm here because I heard that Li Daozong wants to blow up Chang 'an City and cause it to be destroyed. Therefore, I am here to persuade Minister Lan. I hope that Minister Lan will join us and pledge allegiance to Emperor Xia and serve him. At the same time, we'll remove the ambush of gunpowder in the city. "
Lan Changhe said, "If Manager Han wants to submit to Du Qi, that's your problem. Why drag me into it?"
Han Yun said, "Officer Lan, if it didn't involve the buried gunpowder, I wouldn't have come here. But since you want to submit to Emperor Xia, you have to do it well. Only Officer Lan knows about the gunpowder. Therefore, I'm here late at night. "
Lan Changhe said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll arrest you and hand you over to His Highness?"
Han Yun said, "If I was afraid, I wouldn't have come. Moreover, it's understandable that you're following the Jiangxia Commandery Prince. If the Jiangxia Commandery Prince wanted to leave, Officer Lan, as the Jiangxia Commandery Prince, had nothing to say. Now, the Jiangxia Commandery Prince wants to die for the country. Officer Lan follows the Jiangxia Commandery Prince, so it's fine if you die. But what about your family? "
Lan Changhe's expression changed slightly.
He persuaded Li Daozong to leave because of this reason. His family needed him to support them, so he couldn't die.
However, Li Daozong wanted him to leave with the money. Lan Changhe wasn't willing to do such a thing and didn't dare to do it. Especially as an old man who had followed Li Daozong for more than 10 years, he was very clear about Li Daozong's nature. If he really left with the money, he would most likely be punished by Li Daozong.
Lan Changhe could only follow Li Daozong to his death.
There was no other choice.
Lan Changhe said, "Shopkeeper Han, my family has their own good fortune. Besides, I've already prepared enough money for them, so there's no need to worry about that. "
Han Yun smiled lightly and said seriously, "Officer Lan's words go against your heart. You're someone who's suffered before. You know that it's not easy for people at the bottom to climb up. Don't you know the situation of widows and orphans? They had money, and that might be the way to get into trouble. As long as you are here, their home is here. Without you, this family will fall apart. You are indispensable. "
Lan Changhe was at a loss for words.
Because the problem that Han Yun mentioned was real. As long as Lan Changhe was around, the Lan Family would be fine. If Lan Changhe died, the life of the widow and orphan would be very difficult.
Han Yun's expression became serious as he continued, "Officer Lan, Li Daozong is determined to die. Why must you do this? Besides, for your son's sake, for his future path to be smoother, submitting to Emperor Xia is the best way. As long as you submit to Emperor Xia, with your ability, you'll definitely be able to achieve great things. You'll definitely be able to let your son live a worry-free life. What do you think? "
Lan Changhe's heart was already shaken.
In fact, Lan Changhe's heart was already shaken. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to persuade Li Daozong to retreat. If Li Daozong wanted to retreat, Lan Changhe would still be willing to serve Li Daozong and bring his family with him. But now, Li Daozong was going to die. Lan Changhe had a wife and child, and he had worries.
He couldn't die with Li Daozong.
Lan Changhe took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'm willing to serve Emperor Xia. I'm willing to tell you where the gunpowder is buried. It'll be easier for you to arrange for people to stop the person who ignited the gunpowder. "
"Good!"
Han Yun revealed a smile.
Han Yun said, "Chief Inspector Lan, you have to understand that only by submitting to Emperor Xia will you have a way out. Otherwise, Chang 'an will be destroyed. Countless citizens will be massacred, and your family will be in trouble. "
Lan Changhe said, "I know."
He didn't say anything else and immediately explained the situation. Finally, he explained where the gunpowder was buried. In the entire Chang 'an City, there were a total of 32 places where the gunpowder was buried. Moreover, each place contained a large amount of gunpowder. After everything was explained and Lan Changhe wrote down everything, he looked at Han Yun and said, "I've said what I should say. I'll leave the rest to you."
"No problem!"
Han Yun nodded and said, "I won't let you down."
Han Yun immediately bid farewell and left. Han Yun didn't return to his residence. Instead, he went straight to Yang Song's Yang Clan. When he saw Yang Song, he took the initiative to explain the situation that Lan Changhe had told him. He also handed the letter to Yang Song.
After everything was explained, Han Yun said, "Eunuch Yang, everything has been arranged. We know the location. We just need to arrange for people to keep an eye on it and ensure that the gunpowder doesn't ignite. In addition, the plan to arrange for people to submit to Emperor Xia can be started. "
Yang Song said, "Don't worry. As long as Emperor Xia attacks the day after tomorrow, we will assist him. When the time comes, we'll coordinate from the inside and outside and eliminate Li Xiaogong in one go. This battle will be over. "
Han Yun said, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Yang."
Yang Song stroked his beard and shook his head. He had an expression that said there was no need for this. Lan Changhe's submission made the situation very simple. They only needed to make some arrangements. After Han Yun left, Yang Song wrote another letter, explaining the matter of Lan Changhe's submission. He arranged for people to send the letter out overnight. He wanted to inform Du Qi earlier so that Du Qi could make arrangements.
When the letter was sent out, it was still early in the morning.
The letter was finally sent to Shangguan Yi. Shangguan Yi didn't read the letter because it involved being sent out of the city. Therefore, he immediately went to Du Qi's tent. Currently, the central tent was lit by candles that swayed gently.
Du Qi hadn't rested yet and was reading a book.
After Shangguan Yi entered, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there's a letter from the city. It's not from bad people, but from people in the city. I think it's very likely that it's from people in the city who want to cause trouble. "
Du Qi took the letter and quickly skimmed through it. After reading it, he only knew the whole story.
Du Qi smiled and said, "Many merchants in the city, as well as the Yang Clan, are willing to submit to Xia Xia. Not only that, but under the arrangement of Yang Song, the merchants led by Han Yun have already instigated Li Daozong's strategist, Lan Changhe, to find out the location of all the gunpowder. It's impossible for Li Daozong to blow up Chang 'an. We don't have to worry about the rear and only need to attack. Once we attack, the merchants in the city will gather 3,000 soldiers and attack Li Daozong together with us. "
Shangguan Yi smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Du Qi ordered, "Arrange for someone to reply to the messenger. We will attack the city on time the day after tomorrow."
"Yes!"
Shangguan Yi received the order and turned to make arrangements.
