"Under the current circumstances, we can't return to Chang'an with great fanfare. We have to disguise ourselves, avoid official roads, and advance quietly through small roads."
Of course, no one would object to what Di Pangpang said.
Although Ye Yuan is not afraid of killers, it would be very annoying if a group of people keep pestering him.
Moreover, if these killers continue to attack in the city, it will be difficult for them to do anything with their hands tied.
Although Ye Yuan is "hard-hearted", he doesn't want to cause strangers to die for no reason.
As for the other people who died in the Jiangzhang County Post House this time, the main culprit was Jin Mulan. Well, Di Pangpang and Li Yuanfang were secondary responsible.
Ye Yuan...at best, he didn't think carefully enough.
He really didn't expect that these killers would actually set up formations, and they were such evil formations that attacked indiscriminately.
Everything is fate, nothing is up to you!
Outside Jiangzhang County, Di Pangpang looked back at the county seat and said quietly.
"There is something wrong with the Jiangzhang County government!"
After saying that, he left without any delay.
…
Chang'an, long-term peace and stability, has a good meaning, but Chang'an is not very suitable as the capital.
During the two dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, during the more than seventy years of prosperity, Chang'an became the most prosperous city.
Seventy years of natural population growth, coupled with the absorption of a large number of immigrants, have resulted in Chang'an being overcrowded and all urban facilities operating at overload.
Moreover, as the population increases, consumption naturally increases.
The two most important consumptions are the basic survival needs of human beings: food and water.
The groundwater in Chang'an City is seriously insufficient, and coupled with man-made pollution, the water shortage problem is becoming increasingly serious.
Also, the Guanzhong Plain is small and produces insufficient grain.
Also, although Chang'an City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the transportation is not convenient enough and the transportation pressure is extremely high.
These are also one of the reasons why the Queen wanted to move the capital.
Of course, the main reason why Wu Zetian wanted to move the capital was not this. The real reason was...she wanted to break the deep-rooted Li and Tang old forces in Chang'an City.
In the Tai Chi Palace, Wu Zetian could not sit still and walked back and forth.
She had just received an official document from Jiangzhang County, which stated: After Di Renjie arrived at the post house in Jiangzhang County, the post house was attacked. Di Renjie and a group of people disappeared mysteriously, and even the post house building was destroyed.
This bad news shocked Wu Zetian, and she felt a chill in her heart. She felt that there was a force behind her, like a poisonous snake, staring at her and her empire.
But at this time, she actually didn't have the available manpower.
At the same time, at the gate of Chang'an City.
Di Pangpang, dressed as an ordinary doctor, stood at the door, looking at the familiar city wall with mixed feelings in his heart.
"I never imagined that I would come back one day!"
Li Yuanfang also felt the same way. Ever since the mission case broke out, he had been hunted all the time and almost thought he would not survive.
But unexpectedly, he not only survived, but also found officials who could trust him and help him. Finally, he came to the capital Chang'an and witnessed the most prosperous place in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As for Di Chun and the three guards, all they had was the joy of surviving the disaster.
Compared to the others, Ye Yuan was different. He had only left Chang'an City for a few days, and he really didn't feel much.
He glanced at the sun setting in the west and thought: Well, it's almost dinner time.
Ye Yuan reminded.
"Master Di, are you going to go directly to the palace to meet the saint, or are you?"
Di Pangpang originally planned to meet the Queen secretly, keep a low profile and catch the enemy off guard.
But after seeing the enemy's strength and power, he changed his mind.
There is a traitor in the upper echelons of the court, and he is a well-informed traitor.
In this case, it no longer makes much sense to meet in secret.
It is better to enter the palace openly and openly to meet the saint. It will be easier to confuse the enemy with falsehood and reality.
The plan was decided, Di Pangpang said without hesitation.
"We will enter the palace now to meet the Saint."
"Walk."
Ye Yuan's face was dull and he took the lead and left.
In fact, no matter what choice Di Pangpang makes, it has little to do with Ye Yuan.
Because entering Chang'an City means that Ye Yuan's mission has been completed, and what Di Pangpang does next has nothing to do with Ye Yuan.
This is what Ye Yuan thought and did.
Ye Yuan sent Di Pangpang and Li Yuanfang to the palace, handed over the task to Shangguan Wan'er, and then... ran away.
Isn't that rude?
The three people were left stunned at the palace gate, looking at each other.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Di Pangpang coughed lightly.
"General Wu Zhonglang, he is really... free and easy!"
Li Yuanfang nodded with deep sympathy, feeling a little envious in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er's pretty face darkened, she couldn't bear it any longer, and laughed and cursed.
"What a free and easy man! This brat is just lazy and unwilling to do anything. He went to protect Duke Di this time... only because of the imperial edict issued by the Holy Emperor himself."
So brave?
Li Yuanfang was dumbfounded and admired Ye Yuan's boldness even more.
Di Pangpang also admired Ye Yuan even more: he has far-sightedness!
Looking at the expressions of the two men, Shangguan Wan'er knew that what she said had no effect at all, so she gave up and took the two men to meet the saint.
Wu Zetian got the news, and her uneasy heart finally calmed down.
As soon as she saw the lively Di Pangpang, she didn't care about reminiscing about the past and asked quickly.
"Di Qing, do you have any thoughts on this series of major cases?"
Di Pangpang did not boast and replied truthfully.
"I need to go to the crime scene to personally investigate, and I also need to have a detailed file of the case, no matter how big or small it is."
Wu Zetian had no reason and said happily.
"I can give you all of this!"
She also wanted to solve the case as soon as possible. Not only did the subjects of the Zhou Dynasty need peace, but she, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, needed it even more.
but…
"Di Qing, what's going on with Li Yuanfang?"
Di Pangpang explained.
"It's just a chess piece used by the murderer. The other party wants him to die together with the old minister, creating the illusion that he and the old minister will die together, so that the mission case will become an unsolved case."
The Queen said angrily.
"The thieves are so rampant that they actually dared to assassinate court officials in the county town post and used such evil formations."
Di Pangpang still felt a little frightened when he thought about the battle in Guanyi, and expressed his gratitude.
"Yes, the thief deserves to die. It is also thanks to the Holy Spirit's foresight that he sent General Wu Zhonglang to help. Otherwise, I am afraid that the old minister and Li Yuanfang would have followed the thief's wishes."
Wu Zetian nodded first, she was also somewhat proud of sending Ye Yuan.
However, when she thought of this boy's behavior, she couldn't be happy again.
"Alas, this kid is really too lazy. He doesn't even want to talk about his cultivation level because he doesn't want to work. If Huntian Supervisor hadn't exposed this matter, we might have all been kept in the dark."
So that's the case, no wonder he is just a lieutenant general of Qianniu Guard with such strength.
These words solved the doubts in Di Pangpang's mind.
