"Your Majesty, bad news, bad news, something big has happened!”
Hu Jinghui was a Lieutenant General of the Thousand Bull Guard, and he was the person responsible for the Emperor's safety. Thus, he did not need anyone to pass him a message to come here.
Or rather, he was the one who helped others to pass on the message most of the time.
"Jinghui, why are you here? What happened to you?"
"Your Majesty, it's earth…"
Hu Jinghui was just about to mention the fire in the earthen kiln when he caught a glimpse of Zhang Dingguo from the corner of his eye and was stunned for a moment.
Then, he realized what Zhang Dingguo was here for, but he could not show it. Instead, he asked with a surprised look,"“欸？I didn't expect General Zhang to be here. What a coincidence!”
In other words, he wanted to tell Wu Zetian that Zhang Dingguo could not know about this.
Perhaps it was because two major events had happened tonight, but Wu Zetian, who was a little anxious, did not react for a moment. Instead, she continued to ask,"Jinghui, what happened? Why haven't you said anything yet?!"
When Hu Jinghui heard that Wu Zetian was a little angry, he could only answer,""Your Majesty, the earthen kiln is on fire!”
However, he still spoke very slowly and did not say everything in one breath.
When Wu Zetian heard the word 'earthen kiln', her expression changed drastically.
At the same time, Zhang Dingguo asked naturally,""Earth kiln? What kiln?"
However, no one answered him. Instead, Wu Zetian, who had reacted, forced herself to be calm and said,"Cough cough, Dingguo! You've worked hard tonight. You can go home and rest.”
"What? Your Majesty, what about the things I reported earlier?”
Although Zhang Dingguo knew that this was not something he should know, Wu Zetian's expression changed too quickly.
"Zhen will let others take charge of that matter. My dear minister, you can go back and rest.”Wu Zetian once again said in an unquestionable tone.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Dingguo quickly obeyed,""Yes, I will take my leave now."
Just like that, Wu Zetian did not want Zhang Dingguo to know about Liu Jin, so he was chased home to sleep…
Not long after Zhang Dingguo returned home, Li Daniu returned as well. He said that a general had brought a large group of soldiers to pick up the Yiyang Commandery Princess. Li Daniu and his personal guards, as well as the brothers of the Thousand Bull Guards, had also been dismissed and returned to their respective homes.
The crime scene on the other side was probably the same. It was taken over by Xiao Qingfang's internal guards.
However, none of this had anything to do with him. He went straight to sleep and slept until dawn.
He even took a day off with the excuse that he was too tired from yesterday's battle. He didn't even go to school.
As for the Ruo regiment, they had departed early in the morning with the Yiyang Junzhu as planned.
However, Wu Zetian sent 5,000 soldiers to escort them to ensure their safety.
However, when Zhang Dingguo heard that the general who escorted them was Huan Bin, he knew that the Snake Spirit would succeed again...
That evening, the emergency 600-mile express from Gan Nan Road finally arrived.
After Wu Zetian learned of this matter, she was really shocked and immediately sent people to chase after the group, wanting to get them back.
Unfortunately, she had thought too much. If the team had run away long ago.
Late at night, Huan Bin came back to apologize. He said that a fire had suddenly broken out in the camp tonight, and most of the members of the Ruo regiment had escaped in the chaos. Even the whereabouts of Yi Yang Junzhu were unknown. It was suspected that they had been kidnapped by the Ruo regiment, and the guards responsible for protecting Yi Yang Junzhu had all been killed!
Although they caught a small number of members of the fake diplomatic mission who did not manage to escape in time, they all committed suicide by taking poison, so they did not obtain any information.
Huan Bin directly came to him and said that he deserved to die.
In view of Huan Bin's good attitude in admitting his guilt, and the fact that he was also Wu Zetian's favorite general, he was given a light sentence.
In the end, he was only demoted by three levels and fined a year's salary before he turned to this page.
It had to be said that Wu Zetian was still alive and well despite being infiltrated by the snake spirit in the court. He really didn't know if the snake spirit was too cautious or if Wu Zetian had another trump card that made the snake spirit not dare to act rashly.
That night, in order to discuss the matter of the alliance, especially the death of the Shibi Khan in the Great Zhou, many of the officials in the court were called to a meeting by the Emperor.
Even Zhang Dingguo was specially called to a meeting because he had fought with the evil people that night. He was really flattered!
However, these big shots argued for a long time but did not come up with a solution.
In fact, some of the officials didn't even think of a solution, instead choosing to strike first and kill the Turks!
In the end, Zhang Jianzhi had to argue with reason to send troops to the border to defend and prepare for war while sending competent officials to investigate the case to see if they could give Jili Khan an acceptable result.
Then, Wu Zetian decided to reinstate Di Renjie and let him investigate the case.
As for the only survivor of the Zhen diplomatic mission, Li Yuan Fang was still under arrest.
Zhang Dingguo originally wanted to speak to her, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go since nothing major happened to Li Yuanfang in the end.
As a result, Zhang Dingguo did not take the initiative to say a word in this meeting.
Perhaps Wu Zetian felt that it was not good to call Zhang Dingguo over to be a foil, so she finally ordered him to be the imperial envoy to Pengze County to bring Di Renjie back to Fairy's Capital. Moreover, Zhang Dingguo happened to be from Pengze County, so he could go home to take a look.
Zhang Dingguo gladly accepted this task of getting close to Di Renjie.
However, he still used the possibility of being attacked by evil people as an excuse to ask for more people to go with him.
After all, if the villains dared to fight with the imperial guards in Luoyang, they might even kill the imperial envoy!
Wu Zetian felt that this made sense, so she asked Zhang Dingguo to bring more than 200 Thousand Bull Guards with him. Moreover, everyone was equipped with horses.
Just like that, Zhang Dingguo set off at daybreak after a simple packing...
