Zhou You was also a little helpless: "Sir, what do you want me to say with this groundless statement? You have also seen that I have received news from the inner guards about the Helan Yi incident, but the emperor does not believe it. I

What can be done?"

"By the way, sir, how could that guy just disguise himself as Zeng Tai?" Zhou You asked again.

Di Renjie also immediately said that Zeng Tai came to see him in a hurry tonight, but was poisoned by the man with a shadowless needle. Then the man secretly took Zeng Tai away, dressed up as Zeng Tai, and wanted to kill him.

Fortunately, Li Yuanfang was guarding him, otherwise tonight would be really dangerous.

"They actually killed you directly. It seems that their plan is about to succeed, and they think that you are the key factor that determines the success or failure of their plan, so they sent people to kill you," Zhou You analyzed: "It seems that you are the key factor that determines the success or failure of their plan.

, I’m afraid that what happened in Chongzhou is really not a small matter. The person who came to kill you tonight did not fail to give you a warning and declare war on you, even if he failed."

"It's just that they didn't expect you to arrive suddenly. You stopped that person even with his lightness skills. It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his army!" Di Renjie said with a smile, and then said slightly seriously: "Now the problem is

The key is, I wonder what happened in Chongzhou and what happened to Wang Xiaojie and Zhao Wenhui!"

"Sir, there is no need to worry too much. In fact, I have already asked the internal guards to contact General Wang Xiaojie and Commander Zhao Wenhui. I hope it is too late!" Zhou Youlian said.

"Oh?" Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, okay! Zhou You, you did a good job! Fortunately you are sharp, otherwise the situation would have been really bad. You must have expected it tonight too.

You came here specifically because you thought I would be in danger, right?"

"Haha, I can't hide anything from you, sir!" Zhou You nodded and smiled, and then couldn't help but sigh softly: "If my prediction is right, I'm afraid that your majesty will not be able to get the expected victory tomorrow on New Year's Eve.

, it could even be bad news!”

Di Renjie couldn't help frowning and sighed: "The emperor is too anxious and needs this victory too much. It's just that haste makes waste!"

Sure enough, as expected, at the so-called New Year's Eve celebration banquet the next day, Wu Zetian received the news that Wang Xiaojie's army had been defeated in Dongxi Shigu. The 100,000-strong army suffered heavy casualties, and the Youwei General Wang Xiaojie led his remnants to an embarrassing defeat.

Fleeed back to Chongzhou.

At the same time, after Di Renjie read the Tongbao, this was the last Tongbao sent by Wang Xiaojie. Before that, he must have sent many reports on emergency military situations to the court.

However, the Ministry of War did not receive these reports! Finally, both Di Renjie and Wu Zetian thought of the news that Zhou You had reported that Helan Yi was attacked. It seemed that the matter was not a mistake by the internal guards, but that Helan Yi really had something wrong.

Come on, it’s ridiculous that Wu Zetian thought this news was untrue before.

Wu Zetian, aware of this, hurriedly summoned Zhou You to inquire, but the information Zhou You received was actually very limited. The specifics of what happened in Chongzhou and the course of the battle were unknown.

In the evening, Zhou You and Di Renjie came to Di Mansion together again to discuss the matter in Chongzhou. Zhou You also explained in detail to Di Renjie some scattered news from the inner guards in the past month or two.

After the two chatted for a while and looked at Zeng Tai, who was unconscious due to poisoning, Di Chun suddenly came to report that Miss Ruyan was here.

"Ruyan? Sir, I never heard that you have a daughter! When did you have a Miss Ruyan in your house?" Zhou You asked pretending to be confused after hearing this.

"Oh, she's my brother's daughter. She came here specifically to see me," Di Renjie said with a slight smile. Seeing Zhou You Ning's eyebrows becoming more and more suspicious, he couldn't help but whisper in a low voice: "I know it's a lie. This is my bait."

You must not let me know that you are in a trap."

While the two were talking, they saw a beautiful girl wearing light yellow plain Hu clothes walking in from the outside. It was Di Ruyan disguised as Su Xian'er, one of the six snake heads of the Snake Spirit.

The reason why Di Renjie said that he knew she was false was because he had no niece at all. The so-called Di Ruyan was simply made up by him in order to lure the person behind it.

Speaking of which, the reason why Di Renjie devised this plan to lure the emperor into a trap was because he discovered that Di Chun was suddenly captured by the internal guards. He said it was a misunderstanding and the wrong arrest was made, but in fact the fake Di Chun was released.

Di Renjie did not even inform Zhou You about this matter, because he was afraid that Zhou You would investigate rashly, alert others, and threaten Di Chun's life.

Under the guidance of fake Di Chun, Di Ruyan immediately knelt down and said after seeing Di Renjie: "My dear uncle, I pay my respects!"

"Okay, okay, get up, get up!" Di Renjie smiled and helped Di Ruyan up. He looked like an elder and smiled kindly, making Zhou You think that this Di Ruyan was really his niece.

, I have to sigh, no wonder Wu Zetian called him the old fox, he was really cunning and he was so good at acting.

After exchanging pleasantries, Di Renjie introduced him to Di Ruyan: "Zhou You, this is my brother's daughter Ruyan. Ruyan, Lord Zhou, is a close confidant of His Majesty.

collar."

"I've met Mr. Zhou!" Di Ruyan looked at Zhou You with curiosity, then hurriedly saluted.

Zhou You also looked at her with a faint smile and said, "Miss Ruyan should also be a martial arts practitioner, right?"

"Oh? You can see this?" Di Ruyan raised her eyebrows in surprise and smiled, then said: "Master Zhou is indeed an internal guard!"

"It seems that Miss Ruyan also knows something about our internal guards!" Zhou Youshou said with a somewhat meaningful smile.

"Inner guards! Who doesn't know how powerful you are?" Facing the smiling Zhou You, Di Ruyan felt a little guilty in her heart, but on the surface she smiled casually.

Zhou You smiled noncommittally, while Di Renjie on the side asked: "Ruyan, is your journey going well?"

"Why, Uncle Zeng didn't tell you about it?" Di Ruyan asked, pretending to be confused.

"Uncle Zeng?" Di Renjie was stunned for a moment. Even Zhou You looked at Di Ruyan with a slightly strange expression. You must know that Zeng Tai regarded Di Renjie as a teacher, and Di Ruyan was now Di Renjie's niece. They were

Of the same generation, Di Ruyan called Zeng Tai uncle because he was older. This generation is really chaotic.

In fact, the reason why Zeng Tai came in a hurry was because Di Ruyan asked him to bring something, which was a border newspaper.

To be precise, it was a report from General Wang Xiaojie to the Ministry of War. It said that Zhao Wenhui, the governor of Yingzhou, mysteriously disappeared after leading his army into Turkic territory.

At the same time, Wang Xiaojie also said in the Tang Bao that the terrain of Dongxia Shigu was dangerous and was a so-called death place for military strategists. Therefore, it was unwise to put the army to death and wait for Zhao Wenhui. Therefore, he asked the court to allow him to withdraw his main force to Chongzhou and stand by.

.

Moreover, Wang Xiaojie had already sent more than ten Tangbao to the Ministry of War to explain the situation before this, but for some unknown reason, the Ministry of War still urged them to advance to Dongxi Shigu. This is further proof that someone had robbed the Tangbao.

When Di Renjie ordered Di Ruyan to take the rescued postman on the road, Zhou You couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and said: "Strange, why did they let this postman deliver this newspaper? Could it be that they wanted to

Are you trying to let us know something on purpose, or is it just so that Di Ruyan can win our trust?"

"First ask the postman to understand the situation," Di Renjie said noncommittally. If you like the film and television sign-in, please save it: (https://www.bajiewx.com) The film and television sign-in novel site has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet
