The Heavens of Film and Television: From Serving as a Soldier

Chapter 132 Crisis

Qian Niuwei stood in front of the post house and waited quietly. There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and Duke Dee, wearing a cloak and a hood, walked out quickly. The leader of the Qianniu Guards stepped forward and opened the car door, and Judge Dee sat in.

The leader closed the door and waved to the guards. The guards flew onto their horses. With the sound of hoofbeats and wheels hitting the ground, the group of people disappeared into the night.

The Qianniu Guards cavalry surrounded the carriage and rushed all the way into a secluded alley. The leader in front of them stretched out his hand and waved hard, causing the cavalry to stop advancing.

The leader flew off his horse, and all the guards behind him also dismounted. More than a dozen people surrounded the carriage. There was a hint of a sinister smile on the leader's face, and then, like lightning, he pulled out the steel knife from his waist and shouted: "Do it!"

The guards beside the sedan took action quickly, and more than a dozen steel knives were thrust into the sedan almost at the same time. The sound of "chacha" is endless. The strange thing is that there is no sound in the sedan. The leader waved his hand and the guards immediately stopped. He walked slowly to the sedan and carefully lifted the curtain.

A cold light lit up inside the sedan, and with a "crack" sound, the leader's head flew out, and blood spurted out. It was too late, but soon, the carriage broke apart with a "bang", and a figure flew out in the air, it was Li Yuanfang!

The guards were shocked and swarmed forward, surrounding Li Yuanfang. Li Yuanfang's body turned rapidly, and every time he made a move, a guard's throat was cut open. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen guards were dead on the ground.

Li Yuanfang's steel knife reversed and was placed on the neck of the last guard like lightning. The guard's eyes flashed with fear. At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves at the end of the alley. Judge Di urged his horse to come to Li Yuanfang, dismounted, and walked to the guard. Li Yuanfang looked at the guard and said coldly: "Death or life?" The guard trembled and said nothing.

Judge Di smiled and said, "I just want to ask one question, and I will let you go." The guard looked at Judge Dee, then at Li Yuanfang, and nodded slowly.

Judge Dee asked: "How many people have you ambushed outside the county town?"

Li Yuanfang was stunned and looked at Duke Di. The guard's expression suddenly changed, and the muscles on his face kept twitching. Judge Dee asked, "Is this question difficult to answer?"

The guard was trembling. Suddenly he opened his mouth and a little cold star went straight to the center of Judge Dee's eyebrows. Because the distance was too close, Master Dee didn't react at all. At this critical moment, Li Yuanfang raised his knife in front of Duke Di. With a "clang" sound, the date nail nail hit the knife and bounced out.

The guard quickly pulled out the short knife from his waist and stabbed Judge Dee in the abdomen. In the critical situation, Li Yuanfang turned his wrist and slashed with the steel knife. With a scream, the guard's arm holding the knife fell to the ground. His eyes were red, and he rushed towards Duke Di. Li Yuanfang stabbed him with his backhand, and the guard's head flew away, rolling on the ground...

Li Yuanfang was shocked and asked: "Sir, are you okay?"

Judge Dee, on the other hand, was very calm. He shook his head: "What a fierce killer!"

Li Yuanfang looked at Duke Di curiously: "Sir, how did you know that these people are fake imperial envoys?"

Judge Dee smiled: "To put it bluntly, it's not worth mentioning. The guards who declare the decree wear fast boots. But the standard uniform color of the Qianniu Guards should be a flying bear suit, a red coat, and golden boots with tiger heads on their feet." . This is the imperial system and cannot be changed. This is the first doubt. Second, the person who announced the decree clearly has a Youzhou accent, but he denied it. Third, the emperor did not know that I had arrived at Jiangzhang, let alone It will be announced that I will come to Beijing overnight."

Li Yuanfang was surprised: "I finally understand that they killed the Lingzhou police officers and brought me here just to kill the adults and put the blame on me!"

Judge Di said: "This time, not only will I be blamed, but you will also die!"

Li Yuanfang was stunned. Di Gong said: "You still don't understand? They have set up an ambush outside the city. As long as you leave the city, you will be killed immediately. In this way, a story happened. Li Yuanfang led the gangsters to falsely pass the imperial edict to kill the minister handling the case, Di Renjie. When he left the city, , was attacked and killed by enemies. As a result, the most wanted criminal involved in the murder of the Turkic mission died together with the minister handling the case. There is no longer any human or physical evidence! The case has become an unsolved case. Even if others want to investigate, they have no way to start. Therefore Just let it go.”

Li Yuanfang gritted his steel teeth: "What a vicious strategy!"

Judge Dee sneered: "They just miscalculated a little."

Li Yuanfang asked what it was, and Di Gong said: "What they want to deal with is Di Renjie!"

Li Yuanfang said: "Sir, we cannot stay in the place of right and wrong for a long time. We will return to the post immediately. We will be protected by guards. I forgive them and they will not dare to make mistakes."

Judge Dee pondered and shook his head: "When the situation develops to this point, they will never let us leave Jiangzhang. These desperadoes will definitely make a desperate move and return to Guanyi. Not only will our lives be in danger, but those innocent people will also be implicated." Guard.”

Li Yuanfang was surprised: "You mean, they will attack Guanyi?"

Judge Dee looked at him: "Now that things have happened, they have been exposed. Apart from that, they have no other good solution."

Li Yuanfang asked anxiously: "What should we do now?"

Judge Di said: "The golden cicada sheds its shell."

……

Zhang Yang holds the report from Duke Di and must go to Beijing as soon as possible to Zhang Jianzhi's mansion to meet with Zhang Jianzhi and ask him to meet with his majesty as soon as possible.

Looking at Jiangzhang County from a distance, I hope that Li Yuanfang, the ghost, can protect Di Renjie during this fight.

Zhang Yang rode horseback and rushed to the capital.

Wu Zetian, accompanied by Wu Sansi and the chamberlain, strolled in the imperial garden. The autumn wind is bleak, and the wooden leaves are falling. Wu Zetian suddenly sighed loudly, took a breath and said: "Fu Qiu, you are the executioner. What a chilling scene!"

Wu Sansi asked: "Your Majesty, are you still thinking about the murder of the Turkic envoy?"

Wu Zetian said: "The reconciliation between the two countries is hard-won. There are also two forces within the Turks, the Zhuhe headed by Shibi Khan, and the Zuzhan headed by Modu Khan. The two factions are fighting openly and covertly, and this time they auspiciously obey Shibi's instructions. I suggested that I send you to negotiate peace, but I didn’t expect that I would be killed in Shihechuan. Once Jili learns about this, the Modu faction’s power will immediately rise, and the prospects for both countries will be bleak!”

Wu San thought: "Hmph, Your Majesty, how can I, the great emperor, still be afraid of his little Turk?"

Wu Zetian glanced at him: "The war has rekindled, the people are in ruins, and those rebel parties who are trying to restore Li Tang's world will make trouble and take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. The country will no longer have peace. Have you ever thought about these? Fortunately, you are still a dignified prime minister. !”

Wu Sansi was so frightened that he quickly bowed and said, "I made a mistake."

Wu Sansi was Wu Zetian's nephew and was granted the title of King of Liang. He participated in important military and political affairs and served as prime minister. This person was jealous of talents, formed cliques for personal gain, relied on Wu Zetian's power to dominate, and specialized in ostracizing Zhang Jianzhi and other direct ministers, but he was loyal to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian saw it in her eyes, and she both loved and hated him. She hated iron but could not turn it into steel.

Wu Zetian snorted and asked, "Di Renjie hasn't arrived yet?"

Wu San thought: "Not yet."

Wu Zetian said: "Why is this Di Huaiying so delayed? It is really unreasonable!"

Wu Sansi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand why Di Renjie must come back?"

Wu Zetian glanced at him and said coldly: "Otherwise, I will leave the case to you. The deadline is three months. If you exceed the deadline, you will be severely punished!"

Wu Sansi trembled: "This..."

Wu Zetian smiled: "You don't have this ability, so I won't make it difficult for you. Wei Baice, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, once said something to Emperor Taizong: As long as the founding ministers have skills, they can use them, regardless of their moral character. But a minister who governs the world must have both character and talent. Di Huaiying's talent and character are praised by the world, which you can't compare with."

Wu Sansi touched the dust on his nose. He was very embarrassed and said awkwardly: "Yes."

Wu Zetian glanced at him: "You are very loyal, which is good, but you must understand that you must not be jealous of talents. As a prime minister, you must think about the country and share my worries. You cannot always think about the outcome. The party wields power and eliminates dissidents. Now I have the final say and no one dares to touch you. However, what will you do in a hundred years from now? By then, I think your head will have to move sooner or later." These few words made Wu think twice. Sweating profusely, he said repeatedly: "Yes, yes. Think twice and understand."

Wu Zetian sighed: "Today's situation is extremely urgent. Except for Di Huaiying, no one in the court can take on this important task."

As soon as he finished speaking, a regular attendant hurried up from behind, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Sir Zhang Jianzhi wishes to see you."

Wu Zetian stopped: "Shout!"

Zhang Jianzhi hurried over, his face full of doubt and panic.

Wu Zetian smiled and said: "Cambodia, has Di Huaiying arrived?"

Zhang Jianzhi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, something happened!"

Wu Zetian was startled: "Oh?"

Zhang Jianzhi said: "This morning, Jiangzhang County sent an urgent official report. Last night, the Qianniu Guards in the capital went to Jiangzhanguan Post to convey the order and took Master Di away."

Wu Zetian gasped: "I never ordered Qian Niuwei to go and deliver the order!"

It was Zhang Jianzhi's turn to be shocked: "What? The Qianniu Guards were not sent by the emperor?"

Wu Zetian said: "Of course not! What's going on?"

Zhang Jianzhi said: "Oh, early this morning, the Jiangzhang County government officials discovered that all the dozen Qianniu guards who went to deliver the order were killed, and Master Di was missing!"

Wu Zetian screamed and took three steps back. Wu Sansi was also stunned.

Wu Zetian asked Wu Sansi to leave. After Zhang Jianzhi watched Wu Sansi leave, he said to Wu Zetian: "Your Majesty, please step aside."

Wu Zetian waved his hand, and all the maids on the left and right left. Zhang Jianzhi took out a report without saying anything and handed it to Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian finished reading and smiled. Then he said with a cold face: "With Hu Jinghui, we can strictly check whether anyone in Qianniuwei went out last night."

……

late at night.

Wu Zetian sat quietly behind the desk in Daming Palace and meditated. Zhang Jianzhi and Hu Jinghui walked into the palace quickly. When they saw Wu Zetian deep in thought, they quickly stopped and stood in front of the door. Wu Zetian raised her head: "How are you doing, Jianzhi?"

Zhang Jianzhi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial guards and the Yulin Army have searched all the towns and villages within a hundred miles of Jiangzhang County, and there is no whereabouts of Mr. Di."

Hu Jinghui said: "I checked the Qianniu Guards all over, and no one left the capital last night. It seems that those Qianniu Guards are fake."

Wu Zetian couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "It seems that Di Huaiying has been killed."

Zhang Jianzhi also sighed: "Unexpectedly, Di Huaiying, a famous minister of the generation, died at the hands of Xiao Xiao!"

Wu Zetian said: "I didn't think carefully. Who would have thought that these rebels would be so crazy!"

Zhang Jianzhi said: "They even dare to fake the Turkic mission, what else can they not dare to do!"

Wu Zetian said: "The funny thing is, we don't even know who our opponent is!"

Zhang Jianzhi said: "The incompetence of my ministers has made Your Majesty think very hard."

Wu Zetian sighed: "I can't blame you. It seems that we must be ready to fight against the Turks! Cambodia, strike first to gain the upper hand, we must take the initiative to attack."

Zhang Jianzhi nodded: "Now that the matter has come to this, I'm afraid there is no other good way."

Wu Zetian pondered for a moment and said: "Immediately make a decree to appoint Qiu Shenji, the general of Zuobao Taowei, as the general manager of the northwest road march, and mobilize the main force of left and right Weiwei to go to Liangzhou to launch an attack before winter, in order to achieve a quick victory. "

Zhang Jianzhi said: "Yes! Also, Your Majesty, I will go to Yuanjue Temple to offer incense in three days. Do I need to reschedule?"

Wu Zetian shook his head: "As usual. I'm tired and want to take a rest."

……

In the old manor of Zhang Jian's Pavilion.

Zhang Yang slept all day and night and felt very comfortable.

Mr. Zhang Jianzhi came back after meeting His Majesty and said, "How are you resting, little friend?"

"Very good. Thank you Mr. Zhang Ge."

"You're welcome, just know that my good friend Di Huaiying is alive and well."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang Ge. With my good friend by my side, there are only five people in the world who can kill Mr. Di. Mr. Zhang Ge can wait with peace of mind. Mr. Di will meet him then."

"When Di Huaiying came to the capital, he did not go to see His Majesty, but went directly to investigate the case. However, this is also Di Huaiying's style."

"Mr. Zhang Ge, Duke Di's talent is well known all over the world. This conspiracy seems to involve a traitor in the court."

"Di Huaiying stated in his letter that he just doesn't know who the traitor is?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang Ge, this case will come to light one day."
