Chapter 142 The heroine Di Ji who died for her country (21)
He was angry, but Gurqi still understood the current situation very clearly. He knew that all he could do as a prisoner now was to try to save his life in order to make a comeback, so he quickly calmed down.
, and said in a less sinister tone: "Is it really just for such a trivial matter that Di Ji came to me?"
Is there nothing you want to know from me?
Lin Zhen didn't know why he was so embarrassed and couldn't help but frowned: "What else?"
How come he still looks so smug despite his disturbing dreams in the middle of the night? Does he really deserve a beating?
Lin Zhen looked at the "Come and ask me" expression on Huerqi's face, and couldn't help but want to ask the jailer to give him another whip: Why do you owe him so much!
Huerqi didn't know that Lin Zhen's patience with him was almost reaching its limit. Obviously, he was quite confident in the importance of himself as a prisoner of war. He coughed and emphasized: "As long as you let me out,
Whatever news Di Ji wants to know, I will tell you everything."
So if you want to know anything, come and ask me!
"Oh, that's it." Lin Zhen touched his chin and said with a sinister smile, "Then let me ask, how is Qido Khan's physical condition? Can he bear the death of two sons at once?
news?"
I really can't control the urge to kill this guy!
Huerqi: "..."
Huerqi, who was suddenly greeted by his father, was furious: "My father is in good health! Jiang Wei, what do you want to do!"
From what she said, she didn't mean to kill him and send the body back to the Golden Tent to stimulate Father Khan, right?
Just as Huerqi was thinking this, he suddenly received a heavy whip from the jailer.
The jailer glared at him and said, "Be honest! How can you talk to His Highness?"
This whip hit the wound on Gurqi's back. He grinned in pain and lay down on the ground wailing: "Ah yo..."
"Get out!" The jailer swung the whip in his hand at him, and the end of the whip made a "swish" sound in the air, which made Gurqi feel frightened. "His Highness is asking you something, don't do it."
You're acting like this! Get up!"
Hu Erqi shuddered slightly, and suddenly felt a little doubtful about life: Jiang Wei came here just to find an excuse to torture him, right? He really didn't want to die!
Seeing Huurqi looking like a salted fish who had lost his dream, and paralyzed on the ground with despair, Lin Zhen brushed his sleeves and said slowly: "I can let you go. But I have to see what you can tell me.
Something useful." She threatened by the way, "If you use some useless information to stall me, you know the consequences."
Hu'erqi reacted for a moment before finally understanding the meaning of Lin Zhen's words. He ignored the wounds on his back and quickly got up from the ground: "Seriously?"
Lin Zhen nodded to him: "Yes."
Huerqi felt that his mood today had taken many turns. He looked at Lin Zhen through the cold iron prison and asked, "What do you want to know?"
Lin Zhen's tone was indifferent and he didn't seem to care much about the information provided by Hu'erqi: "Whatever you know, just say it. You can tell it for yourself."
Hu Erqi scratched his head and thought for a while, then gave out a piece of unimportant news: "Our army has captured Yu City."
It doesn't matter whether this news is revealed or not to the Huns. Anyway, Yucheng has been captured and everyone will know it sooner or later.
It's just that Yucheng is the gateway to the capital. The Huns have captured Yucheng without anyone noticing. Isn't there any news from the capital? This is a bit too strange.
It seems that he must return to Beijing as soon as possible to usurp the throne.
Thinking like this, Lin Zhen still had a faint look on her face, as if the news didn't mean much to her, and she didn't even bother to raise her eyelids.
Huerqi always paid attention to Lin Zhen's expression, and was a little frustrated when he saw this, and asked: "Isn't this news...not weighty enough?"
"What use is such a piece of nonsense to me?" Lin Zhen glanced at him lightly, with a cold tone, "Go on."
Huerqi thought about it in his mind, thought of a suitable piece of news, and quickly told the truth: "In the capital of Chu Dynasty, there are people who cooperate with our army inside and outside. There are quite a few people, and many of them are in high positions in the court...
"
Does this mean that there is a traitor in the capital who is colluding with the Xiongnu?
But this is to be expected, after all, the biggest traitor in the entire Chu Dynasty is sitting on the throne in the capital.
Lin Zhen nodded slightly and said: "List."
Huerqi quickly racked his brains to recall the signatures of the letters he had received, and read out the names one by one, including even first- and second-rank officials in the court.
However, Jiang Xing's name was not included in this list, and Lin Zhen didn't really agree with it.
"Well, let's continue."
Gurqi: Isn't this satisfactory? You have to squeeze out everything he knows?
He said with a sneer: "I don't know about military affairs. Apart from that, I don't know much. If Di Ji feels that this information is not weighty enough, I can write a letter and order the Yucheng garrison to withdraw his troops. This person
We have always been on good terms with me, and with my letter here, he will definitely accept the order. I wonder what the Emperor Ji wants?"
Is that all there is? Lin Zhen was very disappointed with Huurqi. He promised to tell everything he knew, but in the end he only had this little information about two dates and three melons, plus a dispensable letter of persuasion to surrender.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you have this letter or not. Anyway, when you return to Beijing to usurp the throne, you will have to capture Yucheng by the way. But it is naturally good to capture Yucheng without spending a single soldier.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhen nodded and signaled: "Bring him a pen and paper."
The jailer found a pen and paper and stuffed it through the cracks in the iron cell: "Here, write quickly."
Huerqi glanced at him, took the paper and pen, lay on the ground and started writing quickly. He wrote the letter without thinking about the words. He blew the ink on the paper and handed the letter over: "Emperor
Ji, I’ve written it.”
The jailer took the letter and handed it to Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen looked at the letter and found that there was nothing wrong with it. There was no need for Huerqi to do anything about it.
"Okay, I'm waiting to see if your letter is of any use." Lin Zhen put away the letter and said to Gurqi, "You should stay here until I finish handling these things."
Hu Erqi breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Lin Zhen's back as he stood up and left, and shouted: "Di Ji, don't forget, you must let me out as soon as possible!"
