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

Chapter 185 Finale (13)

Youzhou.

"Master, everything is arranged."

"Have everyone been kidnapped?"

"A total of one hundred and fifty people, all of them were kidnapped."

"Why so little?"

Lu Bing smiled bitterly and said, "With just one hundred and fifty people, I almost lost my army."

"Can these 150 people play a role in their siege tomorrow?"

"I promise you can."

"Okay, keep an eye on the governor Xu Liang, Wang Yong, Yang Hui and others. Don't let them escape."

"Yes, Master."

……

Turkic camp.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Prince Holo held a woman in his arms, putting his face in the middle, making a confused face.

The subordinate came in in a panic. Prince Holo raised his head and said, "What are you doing in a hurry?"

"Something happened to His Royal Highness."

"What are you so worried about?"

"The leaders of several small tribes are gone, and many warriors are gone."

"what happened?"

"I don't know, it was gone after I woke up."

"Get out and check for me. Someone must be arranged to patrol at night."

"Yes Yes Yes."

At this time, Ashina Liugai came in and said, "Your Highness, was the spy sent by the Zhou army kidnapped?"

Prince Holo thought for a while and said, "Today, you personally arrange for someone to patrol the night."

"Yes."

Prince Holo said again: "I give this woman to you." After saying that, he sent the woman out. The woman looked at Ashina's misdeeds with her clothes on, he touched his crotch and said, "Thank you, Prince, for the reward. "

Prince Holo said: "Send me the woman in your tent. This one is too small."

Ashina Liugai knew that Prince Holo's best woman was the breasts, so he smiled and said, "I understand."

……

Di Renjie said: "Yes. Yingyu used the bee trick and deliberately let Liu Charlie see it. In fact, she just wanted Liu Charlie to drive his son out of Liujiazhuang so that Liu Chuanlin would stop entangled with her. But unexpectedly, Liu Charlie Yingyu, who was vicious by nature, actually wanted to kill his son, and took advantage of the opportunity to climb Cuiping Mountain to push Chuanlin off the cliff. Yingyu realized that Liu Chali was going to kill the young master, so she ordered the guards to follow her and rushed to Cuiping Mountain. Pingshan, but they arrived too late, and the tragedy had already happened. However, Liu Chuanlin was not dead..." Then, he briefly told what happened at that time -

The young master's body fell down the cliff. His body first landed on the platform under the cliff, and then rolled down the cliff. There was a block in the middle, which slowed down the force of his fall. At the same time, his hands were desperately grabbing on the cliff wall. With a "click", he grabbed a small tree sticking out from the cliff, and his body stopped immediately. At this time, there were three or four people still under the cliff. Zhang distance. The short tree was overwhelmed and broke. His body fell down the cliff and fell into a pile of rocks. Blood immediately spattered everywhere.

Di Renjie turned around and asked Liu Chuanlin: "Sir, am I right?"

Liu Chuanlin nodded: "There is no mistake."

Di Renjie said: "Although Liu Chali is sinister and vicious, Chuanlin is his biological son after all. He rushed to the foot of the cliff in grief, but forgot to see if the young master was dead. And this matter has nothing to do with framing the prince. , is a branch that grew up in the middle. Therefore, Liu Da didn't know it. When he saw Chuan Lin's bloody flesh and blood, they both thought that the young master was dead, so he found someone to carry the 'corpse' back to the village and wrap it in a coffin. Get up and put it in the mourning hall. In this way, there was the first incident of haunting in the mourning hall——"

The candlelight in the mourning hall swayed in the wind. The coffin is placed across the west end of the mourning hall. The wakeman sat on the futon and took a nap. Suddenly, he heard a "rattling" sound, the coffin lid kept shaking, and the wakeman screamed and fell to his knees. At this time, Yingyu walked in from outside, and she was stunned when she saw the situation in the hall.

Di Renjie said: "Out of guilt for Liu Chuanlin, Yingyu led people to the mourning hall late at night, drugged the mourner, opened the coffin lid, and found that Liu Chuanlin was still breathing, and his hands kept swinging in a coma - this is the coffin wrapper The reason for the noise. So Yingyu secretly rescued him and replaced him with another body. The next day, Zeng Tai received a report from the police that a corpse robbery had occurred in the county government morgue. In fact, it was Yingyu's men came to the county government morgue at night, stole a body, and replaced Mr. Liu. This is the whole story."

Xu Shide suddenly realized: "So that's it."

Di Renjie said: "That's where your mistake lies. You thought that no one knew the whereabouts of the book except His Highness the Crown Prince. But you were wrong. Liu Chuanlin is still alive, which makes you fall short. In fact, the whole thing is about it. Said the prince is the biggest victim."

Xu Shide smiled: "It's absolutely true. Anyway, the emperor has never trusted the prince and has long wanted to destroy him. I am just going along with the flow and helping the emperor fulfill his wish. Originally, my plan was to force Li Gui to tell the story of "Blue Shirt" Then, the inner guard wrote a confession and asked Li Gui to sign it. As long as this thing gets into the hands of the emperor, the prince will be finished. In this way, I will get the treasure left by the king of Yue, and the emperor will get the prince. Evidence of rebellion means everyone gets what he deserves. But I didn’t expect that the prince would throw himself into a trap and come to Huzhou..."

Di Renjie snorted: "I wrote a letter to invite him. Because at that time, I had discovered that all the spearheads were pointed at him. But I didn't expect that the news leaked and the prince fell into your hands. And you are struggling to find it. There was no way to get Li Gui to speak. You must have been overjoyed that the prince was arrested, so you set up this ingenious trap: kidnap the prince and induce Li Gui to reveal the whereabouts of "The Story of the Blue Shirt". After that, you deliberately set your foothold. Tell Zeng Tai, involve me too, 'the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind'. When we entered the small courtyard, you escaped in the chaos, but the emperor had already received your notice and arrived with the Yulin Guards, so he I just happened to see the scene of the so-called rebellion. What a vicious strategy! You never thought in your dreams that when you thought everything was going well, I would be here waiting for you!"

Xu Shide said nonchalantly: "So what? The emperor has returned to Beijing and cannot hear these words. No matter how sophisticated your analysis is and how accurate your reasoning is, you can't save the prince's life!"

Di Renjie said: "Aren't you afraid that I will repeat your words?"

Xu Shide sneered and said: "It seems that you still don't understand the emperor very well! She can't listen to anything now. She only wants to depose the prince and establish Wu as his heir. If you don't know what to do and report this to the emperor, you will definitely get a prince. The crime of being an accomplice. So, listen to my good advice, it is better to do less than to do more."

Di Renjie was silent.

Xu Shide said: "Sir, what's the use of catching me now? Although you are the prime minister, you have no right to deal with the internal guards, so you can only let me go."

Di Renjie took a deep breath: "I can kill you. If I kill you here, no one will know."

Xu Shide smiled and said: "People must have a purpose in doing things. What's the use of killing me now? It can neither save the prince's life nor save the situation!"

Di Renjie sighed. Xu Shide said: "I have a good proposal."

Di Renjie raised his head. He said "Oh", showing great interest.

Xu Shide said: "The 'treasure map' is now in my hands. We will add to this treasure two by one and make it five by five. Everyone here today has a share. After I get the money, I will not sell it for the emperor. Please help me make a false case, saying that I drank too much and drowned on my way back to my hometown. In this way, I changed my appearance and hid from the people. You will still be your prime minister, and I will be my rich man and will never be the same again. Meet."

"What a brilliant plan!" A voice came from behind, and then there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the door and a loud call from the Yulin Guards: "Surround the room! Archers are ready!"

Xu Shide was startled and turned around. A person slowly walked into the room, it was Wu Zetian!

Xu Shide opened his mouth wide and trembled all over, like a sudden attack of horny wind. Suddenly, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

Di Renjie looked at him coldly.

Wu Zetian's face was ashen and he nodded: "Xu Shide, you said it well. Well said!"

Xu Shide's upper and lower teeth kept fighting, making a "gurgle" sound.

Wu Zetian said: "If Di Huaiying hadn't asked me to stay and watch a good show, how would I have known that there was a scum like you among the inner guards! In order to enrich your own pockets, you used clever words and tricks to frame the prince. You actually used me against you. Use your trust as a bargaining chip in a conspiracy! How should I reward someone like you, huh?!"

Xu Shide raised his head, knelt and crawled two steps, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I made a big mistake due to a mistake in my mind. I beg your Majesty to spare my life! Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian said coldly: "Someone, take this dog outside the village, cut it into pieces by five horses. Throw the body into the mountains to feed the dogs."

The guards loudly agreed, swarmed forward, and lifted Xu Shide up. Di Renjie said: "Slow down!" The guards stopped.

Di Renjie strode over, took out the "Blue Shirt" from Xu Shide's arms, and then waved to the guard. The guard dragged Xu Shide and walked quickly out of the door. Xu Shide's shrill screams rang outside the door.

Di Renjie presented the book with both hands. Wu Zetian took it, looked at it, and handed it to the female officer beside her.

She glanced at Di Renjie and said, "Huaiying, I heard everything you just said. You actually wrote to the prince privately. This is a serious crime. You are an old minister in the court, don't you even understand this?"

Di Renjie said: "I am willing to accept the crime. Please be punished severely by Your Majesty."

Wu Zetian sighed: "Okay. Seeing that you have done a good job in solving the case, there is no need to pursue this matter. In Xu Shide's words, we monarchs and ministers will do five things after one, and I will not reward or punish you, so be it."

Di Renjie hurriedly said: "Thank you for your grace. What about the prince?"

Wu Zetian said: "Well, it seems that Li Xian has indeed been wronged. But it is a big deal for him to leave the capital privately. It is up to you to declare the decree orally and punish him to be a commoner and vegetarian, and to shut up and think about his mistakes. He is not allowed to go out without the decree!"

Di Renjie smiled: "Yes."

Wu Zetian looked at the people around him and said: "You must keep your mouth shut about this matter. Once word spreads, it will be difficult for everyone present today to get away with it!"

Di Renjie bowed and said, "Yes."

Wu Zetian took a deep breath, exhaled it heavily, and walked out of the door quickly. Everyone in the room was relieved, and everyone had a smile on their face.

The shadow on the roof still had an open look on his face. Looking at Wu Zetian outside the door, the swallow in his hand felt a little hot.

Suddenly I woke up, took a few deep breaths, and remembered that meeting at the Chenghuang Temple.

……

Zhang Yang whispered: "I want you to go to Huzhou."

"What to do in Huzhou?"

"Of course I have my plan, but you must do what I say, otherwise our lives will be in danger."

"I want to know your plan."

"You are not worthy now." Zhang Yang said, "As long as you act according to my plan, I will save your life."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"How is your disguise?"

"top notch."

"I want you to disguise yourself as me and go to negotiate with Di Renjie, tell him that Liu Chuanlin is in your hands, and then use this condition to hand Liu Chuanlin over to him." Zhang Yang said and handed over a note.

Shadow looked at the note and said, "Your target is the prince."

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "My target is not people."

"I understand." Shadow nodded and said, "Who should I contact when I go to Huzhou?"

"You go to live in a natural place in Huzhou, and then draw a five-pointed star on the wall, and someone will contact you." Zhang Yang drew him the shape of the five-pointed star, and then said: "When the time comes, you will act according to the instructions he gave you. That’s it.”

"I understand."

……

Huzhou.

Shadow took out a homing pigeon, wrote the latest message, and said: "It seems that my life is not long, but it is a pity that I can't stay with my old master for a long time."

Far away in Hanguang Temple in Luoyang, a pigeon stood outside the attic with a small bamboo tube on its leg.

Youzhou.

"Master, they are about to attack the city."

"Have you finished asking those people?"

"The torture is almost complete."

"Hang them directly on the city. They must stay alive."

"Yes."

"We should go out before they surround us."

"Yes, Master."

……

Turkic camp.

"His Royal Highness."

"I want to see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Ashina looked at the prince and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

After a while, he hurriedly walked in and said: "Your Highness, the people outside are the leaders of various tribes and their abducted family members."

Prince Holo thought for a while and said, "Let them send a few representatives in, otherwise the noise will be unbearable."

"Yes."

After Ashina went out, he brought back a few people. The leader cried and said: "Your Highness, the warriors of our tribe have been kidnapped. They are now in Youzhou City. I hope that Your Highness will send troops to attack Youzhou as soon as possible."

Prince Holo was still young and said, "I have my own plan on how to fight. Don't worry, I will rescue them."

……

Huzhou.

The first ray of morning sun shone in front of Liujiazhuang, and Di Renjie led Li Yuanfang, Zeng Tai, Liu Chuanlin, Yingyu and others out. Di Renjie stretched his waist and said, "Go back and have a good sleep!"

Li Yuanfang said: "Sir, is it really you who wrote to invite the prince?"

Di Renjie was stunned, exchanged glances with Zeng Tai, and burst out laughing.

Li Yuanfang also laughed: "This question is a bit stupid."

Di Renjie said: "Yes, if I hadn't said this, the prince's crime would have been serious. He left the capital without permission and met with foreign ministers secretly. This alone can depose the prince."

Zeng Tai said: "Sir, only one copy of "Blue Shirt" was found on Xu Shide. What about the other two?"

Di Renjie took a deep breath: "This is another eternal mystery!"

The next day, Shadow found Di Renjie.

"You came."

"It seems that Master Di knows that I am coming."

"If you want to cooperate with me, then I have done what is stated in this letter. Here are my conditions."

"Master Di, please speak."

"I know your true identity."

"Me? I'm Li Ying."

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "You are not." He stood up and walked and said: "First of all, although Li Ying is both good and evil, he will never abandon the people in Youzhou City and come to me to talk about cooperation. Secondly, Li Ying Every time Ying thinks about something, he can't help but rub something with his fingers, which has a profound impact on me. Thirdly, although he is a warrior, he is ultimately a Taoist priest. Taoist priests have four kinds of food, including cows. Good. Don’t eat mullet, because of filial piety. Don’t eat wild geese, because of chastity. Don’t eat dogs, because of loyalty. But you have the smell of dog meat. After all, if dog meat rolls three times, the gods will not be able to stand still. So. You are not Li Ying, who are you?"

'Li Ying' clapped her hands and said: "Di Renjie is indeed Di Renjie. This is Li Ying's letter to you. As for me, I have no identity."

Di Renjie took the letter and said, "You have no identity?"

'Li Ying' nodded and said, "Not bad."

"It's really strange."

After Di Renjie opened the letter, there were four big words written on it: Thank you, sir.

He could only say with a wry smile: "This is Li Ying's style. If you can't promise, don't promise."

'Li Ying' said: "I can't comment on this matter."

"You go back and give Li Ying a message. The prince cannot die no matter what. He can be deposed but not dead."

"I understand."

...,

Luoyang.

Princess Taiping and a Taoist priest were talking about something.

"Master, is this okay?"

"Don't worry, no matter how powerful the emperor is, she is just a woman, and she has killed too many people in her life, so I'm afraid she won't be able to feel at ease, so this is just the right thing."

"That's very good, but I'm afraid that my brother, the prince, will interfere with it."

"Don't worry, Xu Shide and I used a little trick to make him sequester in the palace and think about his mistakes behind closed doors. It's a pity that my brother Xu Shide lost his life in Huzhou, this damn Di Renjie."

"Master, please rest assured. Once I ascend the throne, I will execute Di Renjie and let him be buried with my mother."

"So good."

At the same time, in Luoyang City, news came from the Internal Guards Mansion.

"Xiao Qingfang accepts the order."

Xiao Qingfang came out and said, "I accept the order and thank you."

There was only one sentence written on the secret decree: strictly investigate Princess Taiping.

In the East Palace, the prince could only think about his mistakes behind closed doors under the surveillance of everyone in the palace.

……

Youzhou.

"Master, it's time for us to leave." "Okay, tell them to defend me for three days, and the Turks will retreat within three days."

"Yes."

"Set off."

Soon they arrived at a location fifteen miles away from the gate of Youzhou City, and began to hide and wait for the Turkic army to attack the city.

All the soldiers and horses in the city are controlled by Su Qing and Wang Zhi. With their wisdom, it is not a problem to defend the city for three days.

All the Embroidered Clothes Guards in the city are strictly investigating and are still keeping an eye on the three people who are likely to hold them back at critical moments. There is a serious shortage of manpower. After this incident, the Embroidered Clothes Guards must be developed as soon as possible.

The war is about to start.

Luoyang.

"Eight hundred miles urgent."

"Eight hundred miles urgent."

"Eight hundred miles urgent."

A roll of yellow dust rolled in, and the horse galloped over, but only a figure was seen, dismounting from the horse. He shouted: "Hurry up for eight hundred miles, and you will be given a gold medal by the emperor. Anyone who blocks it will die, and anyone who blocks it will die." Then he saw smoke and dust billowing, and the rider had already left.

The guards standing at the entrance of the palace had already seen Yi Ding and quickly opened the city gate. At this time, the emperor was banqueting guests in the Linde Hall.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, dragons and phoenixes danced inside and outside the palace, and lights were brightly lit.

Yi Ding held the gold medal in his hand and shouted: "Hurry up for eight hundred miles."

When the emperor heard the postman shouting outside, he said: "Call him to come up."

"I have seen your majesty. Youzhou is eight hundred miles away and we are urgent."

"Send it up."

"No." The female officer next to me walked down and picked it up.

The memorial reads: Li Ying, the captain of the school, pays homage to His Majesty. I apologize that I am far away in Youzhou and cannot meet Your Majesty. Xu Liang, the governor of Youzhou, secretly colluded with the Turks and was willing to give up all the people in Youzhou in exchange for the lives of his family. The city defense map was sold to the Turks. I learned about it by chance and had captured Xu Liang, the governor, and Wang Yong, the military commander of the five cities. A confession was later presented.

Wu Zetian looked at the memorial and Master Xu Liang's confession, and cursed angrily: "Here comes this damn traitor."

"exist."

"Immediately send an order to Wang Xiaojie to capture Xu Liang, the governor of Youzhou, and Wang Yong, the military commander of the five cities of Youzhou, and escort them to Beijing."

"Yes."

late at night.

Luoyang City is surrounded by Mang Mountain to the north, Yique River to the south, and the Luo River flows slowly to the west. The Luo River runs through the city. The great mountains and rivers gave this city the image of a river-Han man that every emperor of the dynasty should have. Therefore, it was designated as the Eastern Capital in the Sui and Tang dynasties. After Wu Zetian usurped the Tang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty, it was renamed the Divine Capital.

Thunder and lightning shook the earth. A long curtain of rain enveloped this majestic capital city. At night, when the Elephant Gate of Shangyang Palace was raised, rain arrows were shot intensively on the bluestone floor in the palace, making a huge "squeaking" sound. A lantern was lit from far away, and the guards of the inner class inspected various palace gates in the rain. The lights had already been turned off in the palace, and it was pitch black. Only a flickering light could be seen in a palace on the west side of the Tixiang Gate.

A young guard pointed at the palace and shouted: "Captain, look, there are lights over there!"

The captain looked in the direction of the finger and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Shangyang Palace is haunted again!"

The young guard said: "Let's go over and take a look!"

The captain turned his head, wiped the rain off his face, and shouted loudly: "You don't want your life! That is the absolutely forbidden area in Shangyang Palace - Baocheng Hall. Anyone who steps into the cornerstone of Baocheng Hall privately will be Kill without mercy!" The young guard stuck out his tongue.

The captain turned around and shouted to the guards behind him: "Patrol to the east!"

The door of Baocheng Hall opened with a creak, and a gust of rain came in. Thunder rolled past, lightning lit up in front of the door, and a woman's face came into view. This was a graceful and wealthy face, but there were traces of blood hanging from the corners of the eyes and mouth. There was no expression on the face, and the eyes were staring straight ahead. It looked extremely scary in this miserable rainy night.

Another flash of lightning lit up. The woman slowly floated into the palace. What was creepy was that this person had no arms!

The red candles were burning high in the hall and the curtains were hung low. What is puzzling is that the furnishings in the hall are completely in the traditional family layout: a low table is placed on the bed, and two couches are spread behind it. Your Majesty Dan, there are two rows of tables on the left and right, and couches are also spread behind them. There are bowls and chopsticks on the table, and it seems that the family is preparing to eat. There is a horizontal plaque hanging in the middle of the hall, which reads: "Be brave enough to win the three armies."

There was a person sitting on the last couch in the lower row. She slowly picked up the empty bowl, held up her chopsticks and smiled: "Father, mother, two brothers and sisters, you are welcome, eat!"

There was a thunder, and the person turned around, and it was Wu Zetian, the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty! She let out a long sigh: "It's raining so hard!"

"It's raining heavily!" Another woman's voice came from the hall! Wu Zetian was shocked and turned around to look in the direction of the sound. nobody.

Wu Zetian slowly turned around. A flash of lightning lit up, and a person stood in front of him. It was the armless woman outside the palace gate. Her eyes were staring blankly into the distance, motionless. Wu Zetian was so frightened that she fainted and fell to the ground with a heartbreaking scream.

Wu Zetian was carried into the palace. Several palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they hurriedly shook her body and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wake up, wake up!"

With a loud cry of "Ah", Wu Zetian suddenly jumped up from the bed. The maids and eunuchs quickly stepped aside. Wu Zetian asked in horror: "Where am I?"

A palace maid hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is in the palace."

Wu Zetian breathed a long sigh of relief, her whole body trembling: "What's wrong with me?"

The palace maid said: "Your Majesty has another nightmare, right?"

Wu Zetian swallowed and said, "Chunxiang, you mean, I'm dreaming?"

Chunxiang nodded: "Yes. His Majesty just kept shouting, 'There is a ghost!' Only then did the servant dare to wake up His Majesty."

Wu Zetian took a deep breath: "Another nightmare! But why is this dream so clear? Why, why?"

She stretched out her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, leaned weakly on the head of the bed, and said to Chunxiang and others: "Okay, you can go down."

Chunxiang said: "Your Majesty, would you like to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"

Wu Zetian pondered for a moment and nodded: "Call Feng Chun."

……

Youzhou.

"Master, the governor Xu Liang and Wang Yong have already been captured."

"That's good. Damn Xu Liang, he almost ruined my plan when I wasn't prepared."

"What do they do with it?"

"Our mission is to wipe out the main force of the Turkic army as much as possible. The rest will be handled by General Wang Xiaojie and others. Remember to attack them tonight and light as many fires as possible." Zhang Yang said, "Have you prepared all the kerosene I asked you to prepare?"

"If you tell me, Master, everything is ready."

"That's good, rush in and light a fire for me to arouse their maximum anger, and then we will do it again tomorrow."

"Yes."

At three quarters of midnight, Zhang Yang said: "The King of Hell told you to die at the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch. Tonight is the day for their death, brothers, remember my words. Kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one." "

"Set off."

The group of people set off in a mighty manner. According to the power of their horses, they could rush to the Turkic forward camp in less than a quarter of an hour.

Inside the Turkic forward camp.

Ashina Liugai issued a military order to Prince Holo at that time, and he must capture Youzhou within three days.

"I knew that the governor of Youzhou was a coward who dared to speak nonsense in front of our Turkic army." Ashina said while drinking kumiss: "My Turkic army had contacted this governor before setting off. At that time, he said that he would We gave him five hundred taels of gold directly, and he almost knelt down and called him grandpa."

Everyone laughed, and a guard said: "What happened next, General?"

"Then?" Ashina Liugai said while drinking: "Then the governor said that as long as we gave him money and a way to survive, he would give us the city defense map."

"Hahaha, this governor is really stupid."

"That's it."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside.

Luoyang.

Princess Taiping met a Taoist priest late at night.

"Master, the plan has begun."

“Everyone’s eyes are on Youzhou now, so this is the perfect time to launch our plans.”

"But Di Renjie was not sent to Youzhou by the emperor. He is our biggest enemy."

"Your Highness, please be patient. Although Di Renjie has not gone to Youzhou, his favorite one recently is Li Ying. As long as something happens to Li Ying, he will definitely go to Youzhou."

"Li Ying?"

"Yes, my mentor Xu Guzi has spies in Youzhou. Three groups of people have already entered Youzhou to assassinate Li Ying. He won't survive long."

"So good."

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry."

The rain is getting heavier. In Di Mansion, Di Chun walked quickly to the main hall with tea and an oil-paper umbrella.

"Di Chun." A voice came from behind. Di Chun stopped and Li Yuanfang caught up.

Di Chun smiled and said: "General, it's you! Haven't you rested yet?"

Li Yuanfang said: "I can't sleep. I want to talk to the adults. Okay, you go and have a rest. I will bring you tea."

Di Chun nodded and handed the tray into Li Yuanfang's hand.

In Di's study room, the desk was piled with official documents from various states. Di Renjie looked at it quietly. After a long time, he lightly knocked on the desk and said, "That's weird!"

Li Yuanfang opened the door and came in, placed the tea in front of Di Renjie and said, "Sir, please have some tea."

Di Renjie said: "Di Chun, is General Li asleep?"

Li Yuanfang smiled and said: "I haven't slept yet in my humble position!"

Di Renjie was stunned and raised his head, only to realize that it was Li Yuanfang standing in front of him. He laughed: "It's you!"

Li Yuanfang also smiled and said: "I am humble in my humble position and come uninvited."

Di Renjie said: "Okay, you're welcome. I was about to ask Di Chun to call you. Sit down."

Li Yuanfang sat down on the chair and sighed: "It rains for more than ten days at a time. It's really annoying!"

Di Renjie picked up some official documents on the table and handed them over: "These are official documents sent from Yizhou of Jiannan Road, Shanzhou of Longyou Road, and Puzhou of Hedong Road. Take a look."

Li Yuanfang was stunned: "Sir, this is an official document approved by the cabinet. Is it appropriate to take this humble position?"

Di Renjie said: "It doesn't matter."

Li Yuanfang took the official document and read it again, then raised his head: "The Bleeding Eagle?"

Di Renjie nodded: "Jiannan, Longyou, and Hedong roads are thousands of miles apart, and such vicious murders happened at the same time. Seventy or eighty people died, but no one saw the murderer. Except for this bloody eagle. , when officials from various places investigated the scene, they did not find any strong clues. The reason for this is intriguing!"

Li Yuanfang said: "The official document said that all the victims in the murder cases were immigrants without identity registration. What is going on?"

Di Renjie said: "There must be something fishy inside. What brought these exiles together? And what caused them to be massacred? What does this 'blood-bleeding eagle' really represent?"

……

Youzhou.

Inside the Turkic forward camp.

Ashina Liugai issued a military order to Prince Holo at that time, and he must capture Youzhou within three days.

"I knew that the governor of Youzhou was a coward who dared to speak nonsense in front of our Turkic army." Ashina said while drinking kumiss: "My Turkic army had contacted this governor before setting off. At that time, he said that he would We gave him five hundred taels of gold directly, and he almost knelt down and called him grandpa."

Everyone laughed, and a guard said: "What happened next, General?"

"Then?" Ashina Liugai said while drinking: "Then the governor said that as long as we gave him money and a way to survive, he would give us the city defense map."

"Hahaha, this governor is really stupid."

"That's it."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside.

A guard rushed in and said, "There is the sound of horses."

"General, you must be on guard."

Ashina smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous. These noises must be from His Highness the Crown Prince seeing that we are too tired and coming to visit us. How could Zhou Jun have so many horses? Stop making a fuss and drink." "

"Yes, yes."

Just then a fire started outside.

"It's flooded, put out the fire quickly."

"It burned me to death."

"Help me quickly."

"Help me, help me, I have money, please save me."

Ashina suddenly woke up from the wine and said, "What's going on?"

"General, the Zhou army has robbed the camp." the guard said.

"Where are they?"

"Already run away, General."

"Trash, it's all trash."

……

Lu Bing looked at the burning Turkic camp in the distance and said with a smile: "They can't sleep well tonight."

Zhang Yang drank the mutton soup and said, "Okay, they will be safer tonight. Don't forget to leave a sentry post. We can also have a good rest. Let's see if they dare to take action during the day."

"Yes, Master."

Wang Xiaojie, who was on the way, saw the news reported by Zhang Yang and his plan, and said with a smile: "This Li Ying really has a bad temper towards me. I have to be ruthless to deal with the Turks."

The deputy general said: "General, are we speeding up? Otherwise, we will pass."

Wang Xiaojie waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's see what Li Ying's methods are first."

"Yes, General."

……

Luoyang.

Wu Zetian sat back on the bed, with beads of sweat on her forehead. Imperial physician Feng Chunlai was diagnosing her pulse. Wu Zetian glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong with the pulse?"

Feng Chunlai said: "It's nothing strange. It's just that the emperor is weak and timid. He should take good care of himself."

Wu Zetian frowned and said, "You better tell the truth!"

Feng Chunlai hurriedly said: "Although your Majesty's three meridians are weak, he doesn't show signs of illness. It's just that the dragon's body is weak and his mind is unsettled."

Wu Zetian asked: "Oh, then why do I have nightmares?"

Feng Chunlai hesitated and said: "This... As the saying goes, dreams come from the heart, maybe..."

Wu Zetian snorted: "What kind of dream comes from the heart? You are obviously incapable of diagnosing my disease, so you are trying to prevaricate it with words!"

Feng Chunlai was so frightened that he quickly stood up and knelt on the ground: "I will never dare to offend Your Majesty."

Before he finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound in front of Feng Chunlai. Wu Zetian was startled and looked down. A green toad made of sapphire fell to the ground from nowhere. As soon as she saw this thing, Wu Zetian's face changed drastically and her body was like chaff. She trembled and said, "Where did this thing come from?"

Feng Chunlai was stunned: "I don't know."

Wu Zetian said: "Send it up."

Feng Chunlai hurriedly picked up the green toad on the ground and handed it over. Wu Zetian reached out to take it, turned it over and took a look, then threw the green toad to the ground with a scream: "How dare you, Feng Chunlai! How dare you bring this rebellious thing into the palace? The conspiracy frightened me, it is really a crime that cannot be punished!"

Feng Chunlai was so frightened that he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I did not bring this thing into the palace!"

Wu Zetian jumped up and shouted hysterically: "Come here, come here!"

The palace door opened wide, and the guards rushed into the palace like lightning. Wu Zetian's face turned ashen, pointing at Feng Chunlai and shouting hysterically: "Drag this traitor out and cut his body into pieces! Cut him into pieces!"

The guards swarmed up and dragged Feng Chunlai away. Feng Chunlai cried out: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

Wu Zetian kept screaming "ho ho" strangely, and her whole body was shaking, as if she had a sudden attack of epilepsy. She clutched the corner of the quilt tightly and huddled up.
