**78章：黑暗之门的阴影**

赵弘润的语气变得更加冷酷，「李德仁将军，你的情报来源是什么？你为什么知道黑暗之门？」

李德仁将军的表情更加痛苦，「赵弘润，我已经说了，我真的不知道你在说什么。」

赵弘润的目光像钳子一样锁住李德仁将军，「不要说谎了李德仁将军。我已经知道你受到了某人指使。我想知道，是谁在控制你？」

李德仁将军的脸上浮现出一种恐惧的表情，「赵弘润，我告诉你，我没有受人指使。我的情报来源是我的个人网络。」

赵弘润的目光灼射于李德仁将军的脸上，「个人网络？你是说你通过自己的关系网来获得情报？」

李德仁将军点头，「是的，我在宫廷中有很多关系，他人情报的渠道都经过我手。」

赵弘润的微笑 suddenly reappeared, his eyes gleaming with a hint of amusement, "Ah, I see. So, you're saying that you're a puppeteer, and your 'personal network' is the puppet strings that control the flow of information within the palace?"

Li De Ren's face turned pale, his eyes darting back and forth like a trapped animal, "No, no, no! That's not what I meant! I just...I just wanted to say that my information sources are diverse, that's all."

Zhao Hongrun's expression turned even more sinister, his tone dripping with suspicion, "Save the lies, Li De Ren. I know you're hiding something. You're not as innocent as you seem."

Li De Ren's face contorted in a mixture of fear and desperation, "Please, Zhao Hongrun, you don't understand. I'm telling the truth. I don't know what you're talking about."

Zhao Hongrun's eyes seemed to bore into Li De Ren's soul, his voice low and menacing, "I'll find out what you're hiding. And when I do, you'll regret ever crossing me."

The air was thick with tension as the two men locked eyes, the silence between them like a challenge waiting to be accepted.

And as the confrontation reached its climax, a faint whisper echoed through the shadows, "The darkness is spreading...and it's only just beginning..."

The scene ended with a cliffhanger, leaving the reader wondering what secrets Li De Ren was hiding, and what the consequences would be for Zhao Hongrun's discovery.
