After listening to Di Renjie's words, Yue Fei smiled and said," I appreciate your good intentions, but I have a reason for doing this. I have no choice!"”
"I'm willing to hear the details." Di Renjie had a curious look on his face. Even Hu Jinghui, who was beside him, also secretly pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what reason made Yue Fei take such a risk and attack a border official.
Yue Fei smiled when he saw their curiosity." I wonder if you've heard of the Spirit Snake, Elder Di?"”
Di Renjie and Hu Jinghui were both surprised. Di Renjie was excited, while Hu Jinghui was terrified.
"I've heard of this Snake Spirit. It's a very powerful assassin organization. Why, Great General, is this matter related to the Snake Spirit?”Di Renjie asked curiously.
Yue Fei nodded and said," Youzhou Provincial Governor Fang Qian, Sima Wu Yizhi, and a series of other officials have been secretly colluding with the Snake Spirit. For so many years, Provincial Governor Fang Qian has been using his power to secretly support the development of the Snake Spirit. Their forces have spread all over Youzhou.”
"Then why didn't Great General eliminate this group of traitors earlier?”Di Renjie asked in confusion.
Unexpectedly, Yue Fei shook his head helplessly and sighed." Elder, it's easy for you to say. Do you know how many Snake Spirits there are in Youzhou?”
"How much?"
"30,000 people, over 30,000 people. They're from all walks of life. Additionally, under the protection of Fang Qian, the provincial governor of Youzhou Province, they all hold real power. If the news was leaked out, the entire Youzhou Province would be in turmoil!”
"In addition, Fang Qian, the governor of Youzhou Province, is a high-ranking official of the border. How could he dare to act rashly without concrete evidence? The reason why His Majesty sent me to Youzhou this time is to capture the Snake Spirit rebels in one fell swoop while ensuring the stability of Youzhou Province.”
"A few days ago, I received news that Provincial Governor Fang Qian seemed to have sensed something and was secretly mobilizing troops to prepare for a public rebellion in the next few days. Therefore, I decided to strike first and catch him off guard. That's why tonight's incident happened.”
Di Renjie clapped his hands and said," I understand, I understand everything. I was wondering why the Emperor would send the Great General to lead the army. So this is what happened."”
"I wonder how Great General's operation went this time? Did anyone escape?" Di Renjie asked with concern. The Snake Spirit Rebel Party had such a complicated and powerful influence in Youzhou that even he was shocked.
Yue Fei thought of the letter that King Xiang Wu Zaisi had sent him before he came. His heart moved, and he asked," A fish that slipped through the net? To be honest with Elder Di, there were indeed some who had escaped the net. Moreover, they were far away and right in front of him. Don't you think so, Hu Jinghui, General Hu?”
" What? Jinghui, Jinghui, you are actually..." Although Di Renjie had some guesses in his heart, he still could not believe it. Hu Jinghui was only in his forties this year, but he was already a general of the Thousand Ox Guard. The Emperor's kindness to him could be said to be as heavy as a mountain. He did not understand why Hu Jinghui would betray the Emperor.
Di Renjie's eyes were slightly red as he looked at Hu Jinghui in disbelief. He had always treated Hu Jinghui as his nephew. He did not want, nor did he wish for Hu Jinghui to be that snake spirit who killed without batting an eyelid.
He looked at Hu Jinghui quietly without saying a word. In his heart, as long as Hu Jinghui opened his mouth to defend himself, he would definitely believe it. Unfortunately, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Facing Di Renjie's trust and earnest gaze, Hu Jinghui finally lowered his head and said in a heavy tone.
"I didn't expect you to find out in the end. Now that things have come to this, can you tell me who the informant is? If no one had secretly tipped you off, you wouldn't have known about all of this.
Seeing that I'm not far from death, can you tell me? At least don't let me be a muddle-headed ghost.”After Hu Jinghui finished speaking, he looked at Yue Fei with an expectant look.
Unfortunately, Yue Fei didn't know much about this problem. All of this was secretly instructed by his master, King Xiang Wu Zai Si. Even he didn't know much about it.
Not getting what he wanted, Hu Jinghui nodded heavily and said," In that case, I won't be long."”Finished talking, Hu Jinghui immediately prepared to use qinggong and leave this place.
He was very confident that Yue Fei and Di Renjie would be able to leave this place calmly. After all, although Yue Fei was loyal and had a good army, his energy was limited. Even Yue Fei was no exception.
Hu Jinghui, who had followed Yue Fei for so long, knew very well that Yue Fei's own martial arts was only at the late-stage first-rate. Compared to him, who was at the early-stage super-first-rate, he was still weaker.
This was also the reason why he didn't panic after being exposed by Yue Fei. He even wanted to know who the informant was because he was confident that he could leave calmly.
It had to be said that his thoughts were right, and his actions were not wrong. Yue Fei was a late-stage first-rate expert, and Di Renjie was a person who did not know martial arts. The two of them alone could not keep Hu Jinghui, but there were exceptions to everything.
Hu Jinghui used his lightness skill and just as he dashed out, Yue Fei and Di Renjie didn't have time to chase after him. They were surprised to see Hu Jinghui rushing back at an even faster speed. He fell heavily on the wall with a shoe print on his chest. It was obvious that he had been kicked back.
