Hearing Di Renjie's question, the servant's expression changed immediately.
He looked at Di Renjie in confusion.
Seeing the doubt on his face, Fatty Di smiled and said,"
"Oh, this old man is just curious. If there's any inconvenience, little brother, you don't have to say it!”
In his heart, he sighed. The vigilance of the soldiers and civilians in this pass was a little high.
From the guards at the city gate to the servant in the teahouse, their performance had surprised him.
"It's not that I can't say it clearly!”
The servant looked around and whispered to Di Renjie,"
"Yesterday afternoon, when General Yuan Zhen was patrolling the defense,
A group of killers suddenly emerged from the pass and dared to assassinate the general.
As a result, he killed the town deputy Hu Rong and several soldiers.”
"The general was furious and ordered the entire city to be under martial law to investigate the assassins!”
"Old sir, there's been a rumor that a war is about to break out." The servant reminded him in a low voice.
This place was not peaceful. I suggest that you and your son,
It was better to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to come out of seclusion in the future!”
"Sir, please wait a moment. This one will serve you tea now!”
These words were directed at Hu Jinghui.
"Your Excellency, Serenity Plains doesn't look peaceful at all!”
After the worker left, Hu Jinghui sighed to Di Renjie.
He tilted his head and looked at the street by the window. There were almost no pedestrians.
Di Renjie casually replied,"Yes!”
However, there was a thoughtful look on his face. Yuan Ji was assassinated.
He instinctively felt that something was wrong. Who was the assassin?
Was it those traitors hiding in the dark? What was the purpose of assassinating Yuan Ji?
"This young general Yuan Ji is indeed interesting!”
Di Renjie relaxed his eyebrows and smiled faintly. He took another sip of herbal tea and said,
He said in a voice that only he could hear.
Hu Jinghui looked outside the teahouse and covered half of his mouth. He said to Di Renjie,"
"Sir, someone is following us!”
As he spoke, he glanced at the corner of the street.
"Oh?" Di Renjie was surprised.
While Fatty Di was deep in thought, a group of soldiers barged in from outside the teahouse.
The squad leader of the city gate was also among them. The errand boy quickly stepped forward and greeted,
He vaguely heard the name "Captain Li".
He looked around the teahouse and saw Di Renjie and Hu Jinghui, so he walked straight over.
"Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to Juyong Pass?”
Captain Li Jian's face was full of suspicion. His eyes darted between Di and Hu.
He asked slowly, his voice slightly hoarse.
Upon seeing this, Di Renjie still had a smiling expression on his face."
"General, this old man is just a random doctor who happened to pass by this place!”
"Coincidentally passing by?" Li Jian smiled coldly."
"After leaving this pass, the closer we get to the Hu Tribe, the more people won't choose to go north!”
As he spoke, he took out the few taels of silver and waved them in front of Di Renjie.
"This money!"
Di Renjie shook his head slightly and smiled. He looked up at Li Jian.
"Your general is Yuan Ji, right?”
"That's right! What's wrong?" Li Jian's suspicion grew as she scrutinized Di Renjie.
"This old man and my son have met General Yuan once.
Please inform the captain that an 'old friend' is here!”
Di Renjie cupped his hands.
Li Jian frowned and paced back and forth.
After thinking for a moment, he waved at his subordinate."Take him away!"
Hu Jinghui immediately wanted to resist, but Di Renjie held his arm and shook his head.
...
In the General's Mansion, Yuan Ji was throwing a tantrum.
A few lieutenants and colonels from Juyong Pass stood in the hall, their heads lowered as they listened to the scolding.
"Have you found the assassin yet?" His voice was cold.
Yuan Ji's gaze swept across his subordinates.
"Reporting to the general, this subordinate has conducted a thorough search. We have almost searched the entire pass.
However, those assassins seemed to have never appeared. There was no trace of them.
I wonder if they have already escaped outside the pass!”
One of the lieutenants braced himself and reported.
"Humph!" Yuan Ji immediately slapped the table and said sternly,"
"Deputy Hu and his comrades are still alive. We must not let those assassins off!
Search every house, I want to tear those assassins into pieces!”
Seeing Yuan Ji's reaction, his subordinates couldn't help but look at each other.
They couldn't figure it out. This general and vice general didn't get along.
The general should be happy that the deputy died in the hands of an assassin. Why is this so?
"Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, sir!"
After his subordinates left, Yuan Ji smiled.
"Senior Brother, I still don't understand.
Why did Jin Mulan and the others want to kill you?"
Aunt Yun came to the hall and sat beside Yuan Ji.
Yuan Ji put away a map on the table and said lightly,"
"Naturally, it's for Juyong Pass. This pass is an important place for military strategists, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Don't look at the 500 soldiers, they were enough to block thousands of troops!”
Aunt Yun naturally didn't know about this, so she asked in confusion,"
"Get Yuan Qian and the others to kill that deputy."
"If I die, before the imperial court makes any new arrangements," Yuan Ji said coldly.
That town deputy Hu Rong can take the opportunity to take over the pass troops, isn't that what he wants!”
"Senior Brother, do you mean that Deputy Hu Rong is Jin Mulan's subordinate?”Aunt Yun expressed her surprise.
Nodding, Yuan Ji replied,"It should be."
After thinking for a moment, Aunt Yun looked up at Yuan Ji and said,"
"With such an outcome, how does Senior Brother intend to let Yuan Qian and the others explain to Jin Mulan?”
"Explanation? What explanation! We did our best,
However, he did not expect that Yuan Ji was so powerful and difficult to deal with that he lost his brother's life.
Didn't a deputy die?
It was not that he did not gain anything. Yuan Ji would definitely strengthen his defenses.
It was not good to attack again in a short period of time!”Yuan Ji pretended to be surprised and smiled wickedly.
Hearing this, Aunt Yun was stunned for a moment before she smiled.
She was still very smart.
Senior Brother, you are the Guardian General Yuan Ji! If I want to kill you,
Instead, Shixiong took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.”
"However, if Hu Rong is really one of them, he's dead.
Will it arouse the other party's suspicion?" Aunt Yun advised Yuan Ji.
Shaking his head, Yuan Ji sneered,"
"In this game of chess in Youzhou Province, Hu Rong is just an insignificant chess piece.
The one who would react after killing him might be Ji County!”
Seeing Yuan Ji's confident expression, Aunt Yun put away her doubts.
The beauty smiled, looking like she was about to bloom.
Yuan Ji really wanted to embrace her and love her
