Xiao Yan led Zhang Bin to recover from his injuries in the small courtyard for several days. Although Di Shuangcheng was suspicious of his identity, he did not neglect the two of them.
Deputy General Tong Shan said to Di Shuangcheng: "In the past few days, the master and servants of the He family have been staying in the west of the city to recover from their injuries. They have not come into contact with the young general. There are people outside watching, and there is no other movement between the two of them."
"Have you found out their details?"
"No."
Tong Shan shook his head: "The guards who followed them were all killed and wounded, and the Beiling people who intercepted and killed the Major General were nowhere to be found. The people who were sent to inquire about information near Anxi have not yet returned, but there are people patrolling Fengcheng. There is news, maybe it has something to do with this Mr. He Lang."
Di Shuangcheng raised his head: "What?"
Tong Shan said: "On the third day after the Major General returned, a group of people came in one after another from Fengcheng. They pretended to be merchants and moved into various places in the city, but secretly they were inquiring about information."
"Master Liao on the patrol side thought they were spies from Beiling at first, so he asked people to follow them secretly. But later I found out that they were not inquiring into the affairs of the army, but seemed to be looking for someone. Last night, Master Liao sent The person who was following him was discovered by those people and had a conflict with them."
"There were only seven people on the other side who took action, but all the people from the two teams at the Patrol Mansion were in their hands. However, they seemed to have no intention of hurting anyone. They only repelled the people from the Patrol Mansion and then disappeared. Now I don’t know where he went.”
Di Shuangcheng frowned when he heard this. The patrol house was responsible for the safety of the city. Each team had thirty people.
It is not difficult to repel two teams of people. Let him lead the elite soldiers around him. Seven or eight people are enough. The key is that he can escape such a big movement and even hide his whereabouts under the pursuit of the people guarding the mansion. This is not something that can be done easily.
Tong Shan said: "I have met Mr. Liao. He said that the other party was not cruel. No one who patrolled the mansion died. Moreover, those few people only inquired about information after entering the city and acted extremely cautiously."
"The identity of He Yan is a mystery. He looks like he is not a simple person. I heard from the Major General that they were also coming to Fengcheng. I wonder if what these people are looking for is the master and servant of the He family."
Di Shuangcheng frowned when he heard this. Just when he was about to speak, someone knocked on the door outside.
"General."
"Enter."
After the man in light armor walked in quickly, he said to Di Shuangcheng: "General, someone from the west of the city came to report that the husband of the He family wants to see you."
Di Shuangcheng didn't expect that He Yan would look for him. He stood up and said, "Go over and have a look."
…
Xiao Yan recovered from his injury for a few days, and the color of his face looked much better. Although he was only wearing an ordinary long robe, it was because his face made him look a little more noble.
When Di Shuangcheng led people over, he saw Xiao Yan talking to a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's face was full of respect, and he bowed slightly when he spoke. However, even though Xiao Yan was a little shorter than him when he was sitting there, he could tell at a glance that there was a clear distinction between master and servant between the two of them.
Xiao Yan seemed to hear the sound of footsteps and paused. When he looked up and saw him, his expression was calm: "General Di."
Di Shuangcheng: "The people below sent word that He Langjun is looking for me?"
Xiao Yan said "Yes": "I want to say goodbye to the general. Zhang Bin and I have been seriously injured in the past few days. I would like to trouble the general to send someone to take care of our master and servant. Now there is someone in my family, and there is another person in Fengcheng." If you have a place to stay, don't bother the general."
Di Shuangcheng frowned: "You want to leave?"
"Why, the Di family didn't accept the life-saving grace, and now they are preventing my master from leaving?" The people standing next to Xiao Yan looked at Di Shuangcheng with disgust on their faces: "Is it possible that you really think that this is the border of Fengcheng? You Di family can cover the sky with just one hand..."
"Qin San!"
Xiao Yan drank in a low voice and saw the people around him shut up angrily. Then he looked at Di Shuangcheng and said, "General Di, I told you before that I came to Fengcheng for other reasons. You have kept us for a few days, so I don't want to come." It’s time to find out whether I have anything to do with Beiling.”
"You are afraid that I will seduce Major General Di and endanger the Zhen'an Army. I don't want to get involved with you. I will leave here after I finish my business in Fengcheng."
Seeing that he had made the matter clear, Di Shuangcheng didn't say anything. He just asked, "I wonder what He Langjun wants to do. The Di family can help."
"No need to bother, just a few small things..."
"He Langjun is kind to the Di family. It's a trivial matter, so why bother."
Xiao Yan's face sank when he heard Di Shuangcheng's words: "General Di is unwilling to let us go?"
Di Shuangcheng looked at him quietly: "Then He Langjun, can you tell Di where my wife is now?"
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Di Shuangcheng waved his hand to the deputy general and others to retreat, leaving only him and Xiao Yan in the room.
"Although Di is not good at scheming, he is born to be extremely sensitive to people's likes and dislikes. I can feel that He Langjun is not an ordinary person. Even if you really saved my son and the others by accident, you are not sincere to my son, and your If anyone can safely find you in Fengcheng, those who escorted my wife should have arrived long ago."
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and saw that Di Shuangcheng looked at him particularly sincerely.
"Although Mr. Di is a rough man, he also understands that there is no such thing as being close for no reason in this world, let alone risking his life to save someone. If Mr. He Lang wants anything, you can directly talk to Mr. Di. As long as you are not a Beiling spy, you can do it. Di will definitely try his best."
Zhang Bin and Qin San both changed their expressions and looked wary.
This Di Shuangcheng is actually so sharp?
However, although Xiao Yan was surprised for a moment, he soon calmed down. After the anger he had just pretended to dissipate, his eyes returned to their usual calmness.
"If General Di is a rough man, there will be no smart people in the world."
Xiao Yan smiled: "Mrs. Di separated from us and did not return to the northwest. General Di does not need to worry about her safety. I kept her for a while just to protect myself. After I finish what I want to do, I can leave the northwest. When the time comes, I will send Mrs. Di back with all her hair and tail intact."
Seeing Di Shuangcheng's sudden cold expression, he said:
"Lord Di, you don't have to look at me like this. I have never meant to hurt the Di family. I escorted Major General Di's brother and sister. I just felt that General Di had guarded the border for many years and really shouldn't suffer the pain of losing his son because of the damage to Beiling. Moreover, if they fall into the hands of the Beiling people, General Di will be in a state of confusion, and Beiling will take advantage of the situation and harm only the Wei Dynasty."
Di Shuangcheng heard what he meant when he heard the words. He was not from Beiling, and he had no ill intentions towards the Di family.
Di Shuangcheng looked at him: "Since He Langjun said so, he must also be interested in Wei, so why don't you tell me what you want to do?"
Xiao Yan: "It's okay to tell General Di. I came to Fengcheng just to find one person."
"who?"
"He Rongzhang, his current name should be Shao Shuhang."
