Chapter 375: The Last Inner Response (Part 2)
Looking at the Dingxi generals who had been surrounded by all sides, Jiang Han's expression only tightened a little, and soon returned to calm. However, when he saw clearly the person in front of him who was straightened and staring at him with disappointment, he showed a strange look. He took a step back slightly and said, "Marquis..."
As soon as he met and spoke, Jiang Han told him that he was the one who was in the Luotian Sect, which was Xiao Dingxi Hou. At this time, Xiao Ding looked at him with a look of joy because he exposed the traitor. Instead, he looked at him with a heartache: "It's you... Jiang Han, I hope I blame you wrongly this time, how I hope you didn't show up here tonight!"
As he said this, the soldiers had already pounced on him decisively, and in a few strokes, they pressed Jiang Han, who had no intention of resisting, and wanted to tie him up. Many people even scolded and scolded him. Obviously, they could not accept Jiang Han's identity.
In fact, it is not just these robes, Xiao Ding couldn't accept such a result. Jiang Han was one of the few generals he valued the most. It was not an exaggeration to say that he regarded it as his own child. But now, this confidant in his eyes betrayed him. Even if he was as calm as him, he still could not hide the pain in his heart.
When the person was escorted back to the Marquis' Mansion, the sky was already a little white, but Xiao Ding was not sleepy at all. He immediately asked someone to bring Jiang Han to him. After staring at him for a while, he asked slowly: "Why?"
Although this question is only three words, Jiang Han understood the many problems contained in it. He lowered his head and was silent for a while before saying, "The Marquis has always been kind to me. If it were not for nothing, I wouldn't want to do this. But I must not refuse to revenge my brother's grudge. Marquis, you should know that my brother Jiang You tried his best to save me back then. It can be said that he fought for my life, but now he is harmed by others..."
"I know you two have a deep brotherly relationship, so I gave him the opportunity to lead a army in Qianzhou. It is better than being bound by you and me all the time. But I didn't expect that he still had an accident in Qianzhou and was harmed." Xiao Ding also sighed for a long time when he mentioned the previous incident, "So I never blamed you for going to Qianzhou to find someone to revenge after you learned the news. It was just that the situation in Qianzhou changed at that time, so Chengzhi and the others were sent to stop him."
A trace of gratitude flashed in Jiang Han's eyes. He knew the kindness of Dingxi Hou for himself. But soon, this gratitude was replaced by hatred: "Does the Marquis know, who did my brother Jiang You be killed by?"
This time, Xiao Ding shook his head in a daze. The continuous changes made him unable to deal with them. How could he pursue Jiang You again by whom he was killed in Qianzhou: "Isn't it because the Long family was killed?"
"If this is the case, how could I collude with Luo Tian Sect? The one who killed my brother was your guest of honor, Marquis, the officials in the court who came from the capital, Li Ling and the others!" Jiang Han gritted his teeth and told the truth, but Xiao Ding was stunned on the spot, and then shouted: "This is impossible!"
"What's impossible? This is the fact. This is the truth that Long Tianhao of the Long family told. At that time, Li Ling and his party pretended to be the remnants of the Huntian Army in the local area and wanted to use this identity to make some noise in the Long family..."
With Jiang Han's slow narration, what happened in Liping appeared, and Xiao Ding's expression changed several times. From the comparison of Li Ling and his men's identities and abilities, as well as the time when they appeared in the southwest, this statement really made people believe it.
But at this moment, Xiao Ding couldn't help but raise his question: "Just like this, you believe them and betray this marquis?"
"This is not a one-sided statement, but another circumstance!"
"What circumstance?"
"The confession of several imperial imperial city secret spies hidden in Liping Prefecture. Although there were only a few people who assassinated Jiang You that time, they contacted the spies, but more than one knew about it. In the later changes, some internal information was revealed, and the Long family also followed the clues to find the spies hidden in Liping, and then they asked everything from them."
If Li Ling heard this here, he would be shocked, and he would have been told by others in the end!
He thought that Long Tianhao just wanted to kill people with a knife, so after he had a certain solution, he decisively adopted it and didn't think too much about it. But in fact, although he did things secretly, Li Ping was the other person's place after all. As long as the Long family was determined to investigate, they could always find out the spies of the Imperial City that had had contact with him secretly.
And this move actually became the key to making Jiang Han betrayal and turn against each other... The depth of this plan and the wonderful plan would have been hard for anyone to think of it if it were not revealed by the person involved.
Looking at Xiao Ding with a look of surprise, Jiang Han smiled in pain: "The Marquis treats me with a great kindness, but my life is fought back by Jiang You. No matter what, I cannot refuse to avenge his grudges! Li Ling and the others are court officials. I think even if I really tell the truth, the Marquis won't really kill them for me, right? I don't want to make things difficult for the Marquis. Since someone said that he could help me revenge, I will naturally cooperate with them."
"You...so, you betrayed me?" Xiao Ding stared at his confidant subordinate, feeling both angry and a little disappointed.
"I don't want to do it, but I don't have a choice. And they promised me that as long as I provide some information, I will not really hurt the Marquis..." After a pause, his eyes also showed regret, "I was blinded by hatred at that time, and I actually believed their words. And as some news was passed on, their appetite grew bigger and bigger, and in the end they used this as a handle to ask me to help send Sun Bi out of the Marquis' Mansion, and also asked me to instigate the Marquis to transfer the troops in the city to search for his whereabouts..."
"Sure enough, Sun Bi was easily kidnapped and taken out of the Marquis' Mansion. I felt that this was not that simple. Without a considerable person to arrange it, even if there were a few internal supporters who had infiltrated my Dingxi Army, it would be impossible to do this without knowing it. It turns out that all this was your secretly dominant, and you still want to give me all of my entire Kunzhou to them!" The pain in Xiao Ding's eyes was gradually replaced by anger, and there was a bit of murderous intent in his eyes staring at Jiang Han.
Jiang Han's eyes quickly fell, and he didn't dare to meet each other, but continued, "I don't want to hurt the Marquis, but the situation later forced me to do so. Because at that time, my family and Jiang You's wife and children were also in their minds. I had no choice but to be sorry to the Marquis."
Xiao Ding looked at him and his expression changed again, but it still eased. He could see that what Jiang Han said was true, and his inner struggle and pain were also true. He had always been respectful to himself, like his father and brother. This was only when he tentatively proposed to kill him, but he had a great reaction, and he could see some clues.
Even though he had betrayed, Jiang Han still held the final bottom line. But so what? Wrong is wrong, betrayal is betrayal. Since he has come to this point, there is no possibility of turning back.
"Marty, in fact, when I saw the note that asked me to meet in the west of the city today, I vaguely guessed that this might be a trap. Because after many contacts, they had never used such a method. They often met me suddenly on the street, or entered my house directly at night."
"Then you still..." Xiao Ding was about to ask this, but suddenly realized that Jiang Han was doing it on purpose. He was deliberately throwing himself into the trap. Because of his inner contradictions and entanglement, he was not at peace for a moment, so in the end, he even chose to self-destruct in order to completely get rid of the control from the enemy.
Now, Xiao Ding really didn't know what to say, but just looked at this subordinate who betrayed him with pain: "Why are you doing this?"
"I did this not to seek forgiveness from the Marquis. I know that this time it was a big mistake, and the crime was really unforgivable. I only hope that the Marquis could take into account the relationship between the past and not implicate my family, as well as Jiang You's wife and children, who are innocent!" At this point, he suddenly knelt on the ground and knocked heavily on the ground.
After staring at him thoughtfully for a while, Xiao Ding sighed: "This is your last wish in your life, right? You and I will get along with each other. The only thing I can do for you now is this thing. Don't worry, I will arrange their future lives well. I will never implicate them because of some of your affairs, and no one will cause trouble for them."
"Thank you, Marquis!" Jiang Han kowtowed twice again, and then with Xiao Ding's greeting, he was taken out by a guard. Those who waited for him must have died.
It was not until the confidant who betrayed him that Xiao Ding sighed quietly, sat on the chair with some weakness, and fell into deep thought for a long time...
...
Li Ling only learned about this fact after noon, and then faced Xiao Chengzhi's question: "So, was Jiang You really killed by you?"
At this time, there was no need to deny it. Li Ling explained the incident in detail, which made both Xiao Chengzhi and Sun Bi amazed, and finally sighed again: "So after all, we were still plotted by those traitors."
"Yes, Mo Li, I have never completely escaped from his net." Li Ling's eyes flashed with flames, the flame of hatred, "I will settle this account one day with him!"
After a pause, he said again: "Now that we have even dug out the last inner supporter, we must be able to hit them back, right?"
