"Right, after entering the city, I heard that General Li was assassinated yesterday. Which county lieutenant Hu Rong died in the hands of assassins?”Di Renjie looked at Li Hao and asked.
Li Hao's heart skipped a beat when he saw Fatty Di's crafty eyes. Old fox Di, are you suspecting me now?
He thought of something and cupped his hands." Indeed. Yesterday, when we returned from the city and were patrolling the city pass, a dozen assassins suddenly appeared from the houses in the city. These assassins were unusually ferocious, their attacks were ruthless, and they did not fear death. It was only because I had some martial arts that I was able to save my life. However, Commandant Hu Rong…"
When Hu Rong was mentioned, Li Hao made a gloating expression.
Di Renjie noticed this and pondered for a while before asking,""Do you know who the assassin was?"
"This general is also puzzled. Such a fierce group of assassins definitely did not appear out of thin air." If I were to make enemies in Youzhou…"
"There's only the disagreement with the Provincial Governor. However, I don't think that the Provincial Governor is involved with the assassin…"
Hearing Li Hao's doubtful words, Di Renjie did not express his opinion. His expression was still the same, showing that he was a wily old fox. After thinking for a while, he looked up at Li Hao.""May I know where the corpse is?”
"Of course, the corpse is still in the north of the city. If you want to see it, I will lead the way!”Since Fatty Di had already said so, Li Hao naturally couldn't refuse. However, he cursed in his heart. This old man was indeed suspicious.
However, Li Hao didn't have anything to panic about. He didn't feel guilty because he wasn't the villain in the chaos in Youzhou.
As for the unexpected appearance of the Thunder Pavilion, he would just treat it as a traitor and have nothing to do with him…
"Sir, is Li Hao reliable?" Along the way, Hu Jinghui whispered to Di Renjie,""Incognito to Youzhou to investigate the diplomatic mission case. This is top secret. How can you tell this person? If you reveal your identity to him and he has evil intentions, even I can't guarantee your safety in this city…"
Looking at Hu Jinghui's guessing words towards Li Hao, Di Renjie smiled slightly.""Jinghui, you're too nervous!"
He looked at Li Hao and whispered,""I gained quite a lot from talking to this little general just now!”
"This is the Prefectural Lieutenant Hu Rong?" Di Renjie asked a corpse in the general's uniform, which had nearly ten corpses lying under the city gate tower in the northern city.
"That's right!" Li Hao personally guided them.
There were many wounds on the corpses. He then looked at the corpses of the other soldiers. There were all kinds of weapons, sabers, swords, spears, forks, and even those who had died from heavy blows.
" These assassins have quite a few weapons…" Di Renjie said lightly.
After observing the three assassins who had survived for a while, a strange feeling arose in his heart. He looked at Li Hao and said,"Where are the other assassins?”
"These assassins are very decisive. After failing to strike, they immediately fled without leaving any traces! This general ordered the city to be sealed off, but there was no harvest. Now, it seemed that those thieves had already escaped from the city!”Li Hao made a regretful expression.
" Is that so…" Di Renjie circled around the assassin's corpse a few times and said,""Not simple, not simple at all!"
Fatty Di, there's another meaning to your words, Li Hao thought to himself.
"Li Hao!"
"Yes!" "What orders do you have, sir?" Li Hao hurriedly replied.”
"The Ji Prefecture is the gateway to the Serenity Prefecture, so the defense is extremely important. Bring this old man to the city to take a look!”Di Renjie looked up at the wall.
Without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand and gestured,""Sir, please!"
He was secretly relieved. It was better to let Fatty Di deal with corpses less. Hanging behind him, he gave Ling 'er and his bodyguards a look. They had to quickly deal with the corpse...
Standing on the city wall, Di Renjie looked into the distance at the undulating mountains lying between the mountains.
"Why did General Li choose to join the army and guard the border? This is not an easy job!”Di Renjie asked softly as he admired the scenery outside the Pass with his hands behind his back.
Leaning against the sturdy wall, Li Hao smiled faintly.""After learning martial arts, I will naturally serve the Emperor's family. I can also bring honor to my ancestors with this.”
"Secondly, although the Great Zhou is prosperous, the foreign races around us are still harboring the desire to attack us. The Turks, Tubo, and other foreign races have been pillaging the borders of the Great Zhou all year round and killing our people. Li Hao believes that he has some ability and wants to protect them from the foreign races.”
"Good!"
"What a good sentence. After learning martial arts, I will naturally serve the emperor's family. What a good sentence. General Li, for the country and the people, this old man admires you greatly!”
Whether it was his conversation with Li Hao or what he had seen and heard in Ji Province, Li Hao was so straightforward. Di Renjie now admired and praised Li Hao.
Fatty Di stopped smiling and asked faintly,""Li Hao, have you ever thought about why someone would target and assassinate you?”
Hearing this, Li Hao sighed. This old fox was still full of doubts. Li Hao didn't even know what Di Renjie was suspecting. He cupped his hands and replied in a deep voice,""I don't know!"
"Then what's going on?" Suddenly, he heard Di Renjie's surprised voice.
Li Hao looked in the direction Di Renjie was pointing and saw the heads of the Turks hanging in front of the city walls.
"Those are Turkic spies!" Li Hao's answer surprised Di Renjie. He turned to Li Hao and said,""What happened?"
Facing Di Renjie's curious gaze, Li Hao slowly explained,""A month ago, a Turkic spy sneaked into the city and was discovered by this general. At that time, although the two countries were discussing peace, this kind of secret action is definitely abnormal. At the end of the general wanted to capture him to investigate, who expected him to die to resist, so he was killed by his army!”
"If it was a month ago, the rotting smell of these heads wouldn't be this bad!”Di Renjie asked.
"Later, because of the diplomatic mission, the imperial court ordered the border to be on high alert. I am guarding the Ji Prefecture, which is the gateway to Youzhou. This was already the third batch of Turkic spies they had discovered! The day before I left for the city, I sealed off Lu River Valley, but they were still stubborn and would rather die than be tied up!”
"I feel helpless towards these people, so I beheaded them to intimidate the surrounding Outsiders!”
