You see, it was the right decision to come here to find Di Renjie. As smart as I am, I easily found out the truth behind the scenes. Well, at least it was part of the truth!
Zuo Zhou was silent for a moment and looked up at Di Renjie, "Master Di, don't you think you've said too much? I'm just a lowly soldier, and I shouldn't know these secrets."
Di Renjie still looked at Zuo Zhou with his usual expression, as if Zuo Zhou's innate qualities did not exist at all, "It can be considered a process of gaining mutual trust, and it also allows you to understand who the enemy you are about to face is."
"Master Di, do you think I will be afraid?"
"Of course you're not afraid, it's just a different choice."
Di Renjie said as he protected the candle with his hand. When he dug out the wound, he burned it and disinfected it. The candle flame has never been extinguished since it was lit. Now that it is windy outside, he needs to be careful to protect it.
"Now that the people of the original Lao Ai Group have achieved their goal, that is to say, you are actually of no use anymore, and they will not deliberately hunt you down. In this case, you don't need to get involved at all.
Just take that little girl and live in seclusion."
"Master Di, why do you think I would do this?" Zuo Zhou looked at him with a strange expression.
"From some of the fights you described before, I can tell that you are not a qualified bodyguard, so you were completely unable to react when Shibi Khan was attacked by a shadow. Of course, I don't mean to blame you.
, but from this we can learn that you are not a person willing to sacrifice, at least not for Shibi Khan."
The corner of Zuo Zhou's mouth twitched slightly. He wanted to refute but couldn't. If he recalled it carefully, he was indeed not a good bodyguard.
"But I don't want to live in seclusion, or rather, hide with my stain!"
Di Renjie smiled, "Then this will have an effect on your confession. At least it will make you understand where the current situation is light and where it is serious!"
"What's the meaning of this statement?"
"I asked Yuchi Zhenjin and the others to speed up their journey before. At that time, I thought there was still a lot of time, but based on the information I got from you, the situation is probably more serious than I thought. So, we may...
…I can’t control Jiannan Road for the time being.”
Di Renjie still looked at Zuo Zhou, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Zuo Zhou stood up and closed the window tightly. The light in the room dimmed a lot in an instant. Looking at the faint shadow he cast on the window paper, Di Renjie said slowly: "Our enemies have many internal factions, so we should be responsible accordingly."
The tasks will also be different. From the current point of view, the enemy has two purposes. One is to kill all the envoys, and the other is to get rid of the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road. Both projects have been completed. The former purpose is similar to the Turks
Related, our intelligence about that side is still lacking. I can’t tell whether they want to do something on the Turkic side or simply provoke a dispute between the two countries, but I prefer the former, because no country dares to easily fight with the Qin Dynasty.
Let’s start a war.”
"As for the latter, you were once a soldier of Jiannan Dao, so you should understand how loyal the army of Jiannan Dao is to Emperor Qin. It is not easy for anyone to completely control the military in a short period of time. So, we
You can slow down the matter over there first!" Di Renjie's tone became softer. He could understand Zuo Zhou's inner desire and eagerness to overturn the case of his former comrade, although Zuo Zhou did not show it at all.
"If I go by what you said, can I judge that our enemy is not just the former power group of Lao Ai? Because the plan to kill the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road obviously conflicts with the Turks."
There was a hint of solemnity in Di Renjie's eyes, "Yes, the two reasons why Chen Ying of the Jiannan Road Command Room was convicted of treason were that one was that he led his troops to leave and return to the imperial capital without authorization, and the other was to kill the envoy. Judging from this charge,
These two things should be the same conspiracy! But..."
Di Renjie's eyes suddenly sharpened, even with a hint of sarcasm, "But actually thinking about it carefully, this second charge is a bit redundant. Just one of leading troops away from the border without permission is enough to nail the charge of rebellion. Killing the envoys is meaningless.
!So, the death of the envoy should be caused by another faction, but there was a big flaw in this mission, that is, you. Therefore, I have no choice but to put this crime on your heads."
"Why do you want to put it on our heads?" Zuo Zhou slowly turned around. This was actually what he was puzzled about. As Di Renjie said, the crime of leading troops to rebel was serious enough, and the incident of the envoys was not included.
Meaning. What's more, to be honest, the envoy probably has little weight in Emperor Qin's heart.
Di Renjie replied: "You have to look at it from the Turkic perspective. The most important person in the envoy is Shibi Khan. It's not that Shibi Khan is an outstanding person, but that his identity is very special. He is a Jili Ke
Khan’s most beloved brother! If your brother was killed, what would you do?”
"revenge."
"Yes, as the leader of the Turks, Jili Khan will send troops to the border even if he knows that he is defeated by the Qin cavalry. But... what if the Qin kills the murderer at this time?"
"Huh?" Zuo Zhou was stunned for a moment. Isn't annihilating Jiannan Dao Jiedushi Chen Ying and others equivalent to killing the murderer?
"I will... I will feel that there are some problems, and I will stand still until I get an explanation from Da Qin."
Di Renjie tapped the table lightly, and the flames swayed as if they were a little more vigorous. "This... is the current situation. Ji Li Khan and Chen Bing have been at the border for several days. What he is waiting for is the court's explanation."
Zuo Zhou was silent. No wonder the Emperor of Qin urgently recruited Di Renjie to return to the imperial capital. He needed the people who knew the most about the Lao Ai power group to quickly find out the truth about the rebellion of Jiedushi of Jiannan Road, so as to dig out the carrots and bring out the mud, so as to make things easier for the mission.
It was also solved, and then an explanation was given to Geely Khan.
"If we follow this order, we should investigate the matter on Jiannan Road immediately!"
Di Renjie shook his head, "There is a saying in the art of war, which is to win by surprise! The most upright order is of course like this, but it is difficult for us to grasp the changes on the Turks' side. Although the Qin Dynasty is not afraid of the Turks, any battle, even if it is very small,
Even in a small and insignificant battle, the people at the border will suffer. Therefore, we need to stabilize the Turkic Gili Khan first!"
Zuo Zhou took a deep breath and said, "I have to say that your concerns are reasonable. Compared with the lives of the common people, the innocence of the 20,000 loyalists who have died can wait a little longer!"
"Li Huwei is righteous!" Di Renjie stood up slowly, clasping his fists and sighing.
Zuo Zhou stood up and returned the greeting, "Your Excellency, you are thoughtful, but I am humble in my position and I don't know what you are going to do?"
"I need a significant person to talk to Geely Khan. This person cannot be an unofficial soldier. He must also be related to this matter and have a way to gain the trust of Geely Khan. Therefore, I need
