Although Li Yuan Fang was already a first-class master, he was only in his twenties. His martial arts had not yet reached the peak, so there was still a lot of room for improvement. He was not the invincible Great General Li in the future.
It might take a little more effort to deal with Hu Jinghui's tail at his peak, but he would definitely be able to kill Li Yuanfang.
Of course, Zhang Dingguo asked this question because he did not want to be a bystander and did not want to reveal that he had peeked at the script.
"General Zhang is right. I am indeed not a match for Viper. At first, I didn't understand why he wanted to let me go, but now I understand. They wanted to pin the crime of conspiring to kill the Turkic envoy on me.
As expected, the imperial court issued an arrest warrant. I originally wanted to hide it and explain the whole story to the higher-ups after I spread the news to clear my name. But I didn't expect that there was a pair of eyes watching me from behind. No matter where I hid, those Jianghu people and people from the public sects who wanted to receive the reward would appear.
Today, I had already experienced dozens of battles and was seriously injured. I had no choice but to come to see Lord Di.”Li Yuanfang said with a bit of sadness and helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dingguo did not say anything, but Di Renjie snorted coldly." You didn't want to see me. They asked you to see me, right?”
When Li Yuan Fang heard this, she asked in confusion,""What do you mean?"
"How did you know that I was ordered to return to the capital to investigate the case? How did you know where I was? These are all secrets of the imperial court. How can a mountain bumpkin like you know?”Di Renjie's attitude suddenly became tough.
As a result, Li Yuanfang was immediately speechless.
"Someone guided you here. Who is it?" Di Renjie saw that the effect of this was not bad, so he continued to ask.
After struggling for a few seconds, Li Yuanfang finally decided to tell the truth.
"It's like this. A few days ago, I sneaked into the Spiritual State to treat my injuries. I didn't want to be discovered by the public constables.”
"So you killed the people who captured you at night?”
"Sir, I didn't kill the constable!”
"Oh, then who killed him?"
"It was a strange person. He stood outside the window and told me that I could only live if I found Lord Di. Then, he disappeared. At this moment, I went out to take a look and found the constable's corpse lying on the ground. Even the shop owner was killed by him.”
After Li Yuan Fang said this, the scene suddenly became strangely silent. No one spoke anymore.
Li Yuanfang immediately realized that Di Renjie and Zhang Dingguo did not believe him. She quickly emphasized,""Lord Di, General Zhang, I'm telling the truth!”
Di Renjie saw that Li Yuanfang did not seem to be lying, so he decided to verify it.
"What weapon do you use?"
"This humble servant will use a saber."
"Let me see."
"Yes."
Li Yuanfang immediately pulled out his chain knife and held it with both hands. He even tactfully handed it to Zhang Dingguo instead of Di Renjie to show that he was not here to harm Di Renjie.
Zhang Dingguo immediately took the chain knife, but he did not pretend to check it. Instead, he passed it to Di Renjie.
Di Renjie said after carefully checking Li Yuanfang's saber,""This saber has been with you for many years, right?”
"Yes, since I served in Liangzhou, it has been by my side.”At this point, Li Yuanfang had already answered whatever Di Renjie asked.
"According to the document from the Spiritual State, the coroner's autopsy results showed that the constables were killed by swords.”
When Li Yuan Fang heard that the blame for the bailiff's death was finally not on him, he immediately smiled and praised sincerely,"Daren is really a god!"
However, to be honest, Zhang Dingguo did not quite agree with this point.
For experts like him and Li Yuan Fang, there was no need to use their most convenient weapons to kill constables with ordinary martial arts. Even if he used wooden sticks and stones, or even barehanded without weapons, he could still easily deal with them.
This wasn't arrogance, but the fact that first-rate experts could deal with ordinary people without internal energy so easily!
Perhaps it was because Di Renjie did not know martial arts, so he did not consider this point.
Or perhaps Fatty Di had other plans and chose to trust Li Yuanfang for the time being?
But then again, Zhang Dingguo was a man who had peeked at the script. He knew that Li Yuanfang was innocent, so he did not take the initiative to mention this. In order to avoid being misunderstood by Li Yuan Fang and causing the relationship between the two to become awkward.
"Do you know why those people who are hunting you will appear wherever you hide?”
Di Renjie asked again, and Li Yuanfang was stumped.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Dingguo opened his mouth once again and made his presence known.
"Because they don't want you to hide at all. So no matter how you hide from Dona, you'll always be followed. Of course, coming here is no exception. I even dare to say that since you rushed to Tiger Cage Pass, you shouldn't have encountered any attacks, right? Especially after you hid in Tiger Cage Pass, you haven't been harassed by anyone, right?”Zhang Dingguo said confidently.
Zhang Dingguo's guess was based on facts. Li Yuanfang had been seriously injured in the Spiritual State and was on the verge of death. Moreover, it was a few days 'journey from the Spiritual State to here. If Li Yuan Fang continued to fight all the way here, then even if he was made of iron, he would not be able to hold on and would definitely die on the way.
Unlike Li Yuanfang, who still looked a little relaxed. It was obvious that she had had enough rest and her injuries had stabilized!
When Li Yuan Fang heard this, she stood there in a daze and thought for a while before she came to a realization. She then said with some regret,"General Zhang is right. Why didn't I notice this before?”
Just as the three of them were about to say something, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Di Renjie and Zhang Dingguo asked at the same time.
"Master, General Zhang, the Thousand Bull Guards of the capital have come to deliver an edict.”
When Di Renjie heard that it was the Thousand Bull Guards who had come to deliver the decree, he felt that something was amiss, but he still signaled for Li Yuanfang to quickly find a place to hide. Zhang Dingguo also remembered that these must be the fake Thousand Bull Guards who came to deliver the decree, so he immediately thought about how to expose them later.
Di Renjie opened the door after Li Yuanfang had hidden it.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw two people wearing the uniform of the Thousand Bull Guards walk in. Then, the door was closed from the outside by their companions who were guarding the door.
"Milord, the priest has arrived. Lord Di, please…"
As soon as the leader entered, he hurriedly read out the imperial edict.
However, he was interrupted by Zhang Dingguo before he could start.
"Wait! What are your names? Why haven't I seen either of you in the half a year I've been on duty in Fairy's Capital? Are you really from the Thousand Bull Guards?”Zhang Dingguo did not want to kneel down to the two imposters, so he stood up and caused trouble.
Furthermore, the Thousand Bull Guard only had a total of less than 2,000 people. Although it was impossible to recognize everyone, it was not difficult to tell if they were familiar.
Therefore, Zhang Dingguo's words could not be said to be deliberately causing trouble. Even if the True Thousand Bull Guards came to pass the decree, it would not be good to report this matter to the Emperor when they returned. Even the Emperor would praise Zhang Dingguo for being cautious after knowing about this!
