The old emperor looked at Wu Qiongsi's back and asked Su Hong: "Xiao Hongzi, did he listen to what you said to me?"
Su Hong held the teapot in one hand and a new tea cup in the other. He went over to the Dragon Case and gave His Majesty a cup of tea.
Then he softly replied with a seemingly irrelevant sentence: "Master Chengsi has advised you to kill Master Di five times."
The old emperor's eyes moved away from Su Hong's hand.
There was the tea cup she had drank from before. Inside, there was still half a cup of tea that was still green in color.
Su Hong took it away for her and brought a new cup of tea.
The old emperor fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he said: "Let's decree that Zhang Jian be promoted to the governor of Jing. Yang Yuanyan, the former governor of Jing, was recommended by Zhang and Jian to be General Linwei of the right wing. It's OK."
After all, Wang Peiyan was careless, which resulted in the loss of thousands of soldiers' lives, and he was demoted to the governor of Xiazhou and Qianzhou.
Zheng Xiaoqiang was promoted to Sima of Wenzhou Prefecture. This message about him can spread, I hope he can see it soon. "
Su Hong went out carrying the cup of tea that His Majesty had not finished.
The imperial decree has nothing to do with him.
He just wasn't in a good mood.
He believed that His Majesty understood his hint. It's just that he can't understand His Majesty's thoughts more and more.
His Majesty once said before that he planned to transfer Di Ying to be the governor of Yuzhou.
That's why he asked the young eunuch who passed the order to Di Ying to secretly reveal this information to Di Ying in advance.
After all, the situation in Yuzhou was a bit too complicated. Su Hong was not willing to let Di Ying become a victim of the imperial struggle in vain, but wanted Di Ying to know and feel the details of Yuzhou in advance. Better than diving in and never getting out.
As a result, His Majesty doesn't even mention it now, and seems to have no memory of saying this at all.
And Di Ying wanted to intervene in Wu Conghui's affairs in the troubled waters...
Su Hong sighed inwardly.
Does your Majesty also think that Di Ying will not survive?
What a pity, Mr. Di, who is dedicated to serving the public good.
…
Di Ying himself didn't think he would die.
Although on the way to Wenzhou, we met many people from the world who were trying to find Zheng Xiaoqiang and Wu Conghui in the mountains and forests.
But nothing particularly dangerous.
When those people saw that their direction was opposite to that of themselves and others, they fled quietly and did not face them directly.
Not all Jianghu people are so rich that they kill people on sight. Of course, there are also some people in the world who don’t follow the rules very well. In other words, when fighting each other, they didn't have too many scruples, which resulted in casualties among the people.
It's just that Di Ying didn't meet such people or situations in the mountains.
Di Ying and his party, walking if they could walk and riding horses if they could, rushed over the mountains and ridges to Wenzhou as quickly as possible.
As soon as I entered the first town, I heard some news.
The first one is: Zheng Xiaoqiang's family, 19 members of all sizes, old and young, have all been kidnapped and their whereabouts are unknown. And the kidnappers brazenly spread the news everywhere. There is only one purpose: to force Zheng Xiaoqiang to hand over Wu Conghui.
The second one is: Zheng Xiaoqiang was promoted to Wenzhou Sima.
The third one is: Jianghu forces no longer exist. But they still persistently want to find Wu Conghui and the [Shixu Sword Book]. And the remaining Jianghu forces caused innocent casualties to the people wherever they went. They no longer care about the laws and regulations of the world.
"Sir, your guess is accurate. It's just that we are a step too late. The Zheng family has been kidnapped. Do you think Zheng Xiaoqiang will give in?" Nie Bo scratched his scalp and asked his elders.
Di Ying didn't answer.
He didn't know Zheng Xiaoqiang well, so he couldn't figure out what Zheng Xiaoqiang's purpose was in hiding with Wu Conghui.
It's not even clear whether the other party's goal is to hand Wu Conghui over to Wu Qiongsi or to His Majesty.
If it was clear, Di Ying would not have to come to Wenzhou in person.
Just... give in? Di Ying felt that Zheng Xiaoqiang couldn't do it.
After all, if you wanted to give in, you would have given in long ago. Or just like Zhou Li, Guo Xianchen, and Luo Xin, they died.
The bodies of those three people have been taken away and sent to Wu Qiongsi to receive the reward. Anyway, Wu Qiongsi said: Anyone who participates in saving people will be rewarded.
After all, that is also the secret book of the Three Hidden Skills Pavilion. Along the way, there were many people fighting over the bodies.
As for how the three of them died?
No news has been revealed.
"Sir, why did Your Majesty suddenly promote Zheng Xiaoqiang to the position of Sima? Is she encouraging Zheng Xiaoqiang to send Wu Conghui to her? Is she afraid that Zheng Xiaoqiang will secretly kill Wu Conghui?"
Seeing that the master did not help Nie Bo, Fang Bin asked the question he wanted to ask.
Di Ying still didn't answer.
But he snorted coldly in his heart.
Others may not know His Majesty's intention, but Di Ying knew His Majesty's intention as soon as he heard the news.
Your Majesty, where are you telling Zheng Xiaoqiang?
He was clearly telling Di Ying: Don't let Wu Conghui return to the capital alive.
It seems that His Majesty has guessed that he, Di Ying, will be "nosy".
Just let him take care of it and don't let Wu Conghui become a problem for His Majesty.
In any case, Wu Conghui must die, but just don’t let anyone know that it’s His Majesty’s will.
Di Ying felt like she had become the knife in His Majesty's hand again.
However, it doesn’t have to be a difficult knife.
It's just that I don't know where the target of the knife is.
At this time, Peng Liang asked in response to the third piece of news: "Sir, do you think people in the Jianghu are really that stupid? One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the power of the Jianghu was completely consumed in this way. .
I don’t know how long it will take to rise again in the future.
Did they really not realize that all this was a conspiracy by the imperial court? Don’t you know how to stop losses in time? It’s already like this, but you’re still fighting, do you have to fight it all? He actually harmed the people, he was really looking for death. "
Di Ying was able to answer Peng Liang's question.
He finally spoke up: "It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm. But the profit that people in the world pursue is fame. In order to become famous all over the world with one sword, have they done enough stupid things?
Sometimes just after hearing something, I would pick someone else's mountain gate, or destroy someone else's man gate.
A painting left by a famous figure of a generation can become a reason for them to fight in various ways. Even if they are asked to commit suicide, they will not hesitate.
What's more, the person who founded [Shixu Sword Manual] in the past had a reputation as the real best swordsman in the world. He was much better than the so-called No. 1 swordsman in the world now.
Who in the world is not jealous? Who is still jealous?
Even though they knew it was a conspiracy by the imperial court, it was just right for them.
Maybe they still thought that it would be better to use the power of the imperial court to clean up all those who were enemies, those whom they disliked, those who had hatred, and those who were beyond their reach.
If the tall bamboos are gone, the bamboo shoots can be taller.
And if they get the sword manual, they will carry it forward, and then the world will be revitalized. That's what they think, so what do you think they are afraid of?
As for the harm to the people? Do you think they have this kind of mentality, so why do they care? They just want to become the strongest, and at worst, they will be recruited by the court, and this blood debt can be wiped away.
This is who they are. This is one of the reasons why the court hates them: they act too carelessly. "
"Sir, do you hate them too?" Liu Liu asked curiously.
