Great Tang princess

Chapter 395 Di Renjie Sees Through His Essence

The soldiers who rushed into the main hall were fully armed, wearing bright armor and holding bright horizontal knives in their hands. The moment they rushed in, they formed a circle and surrounded Di Renjie in the middle.

Seeing this scene, Di Renjie sighed, but took a step back.

He had already thought it through just now, the Emperor of God must have received the news that the King of Yue might be rebelling, so he deliberately let him come directly to take office without notifying him.

With such a move to startle the snake, the king of Yue, who was already prepared for rebellion, would definitely not be able to make himself react, so he would definitely take the lead and raise his troops directly.

As everyone knows, this is just falling into the trap of the God Emperor. Once the troops go out of the city without orders, the charge of rebellion will be completely confirmed.

At that time, the God Emperor will naturally have a reason to send troops to suppress the rebellion...

Thinking of this, Di Renjie couldn't help but sigh, she still came to this step after all.

From the moment she proclaimed herself the Holy Mother God Emperor, her purpose had been exposed to the whole world, maybe she wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the kings.

However, they were still fooled after all. Di Renjie knew that the Divine Emperor was just waiting for this, and he was definitely ready to suppress the rebellion at any time.

He didn't make any resistance, just raised his head, looking calmly at King Yue who came in again under the urging of the soldiers.

Although he was over sixty years old, his complexion and spirit were not bad, and he vaguely looked like a child with white hair.

After slightly sighing, Di Renjie asked, "Why did Your Highness rebel?"

Listening to Di Renjie's inquiry, Li Zhen also had a complicated expression.

Originally, he didn't intend to do it so soon, but Di Renjie's sudden appearance made him feel that he couldn't wait any longer.

The fact that a governor came suddenly but did not receive the notification was already a problem, and now that King Ji went to Dongdu to throw smoke bombs, that woman probably already knew about her plan.

It's just that there is no evidence at the moment, so I didn't do it directly. I just sent an assassin over to scout for information.

But no matter what, once this person comes, things will definitely not be hidden, so the only thing Li Zhen can think about is to do it in advance.

He also sighed, and shook his head lightly: "If you don't rebel, I'm afraid there will be no place to die in the future! Di Shilang also knows that the woman wants to change the dynasty. If she doesn't do anything, she will definitely not let me go. ..."

Hearing her answer, Di Renjie fell silent. He agreed with her words. The Emperor wants to sit on the dragon chair, otherwise it would be impossible to keep their threats.

But having said that, if they can really ignore everything, the God Emperor can't find a reason to kill them, and the final result is estimated to be under house arrest for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that it is impossible for the kings to stay still, but with such a move, they just fell into the full set of the God Emperor, which can be said to have entered a deadlock.

Di Renjie shook his head regretfully: "The chances of your Highness's success are too slim..."

"It's okay, although it's a little hasty, it's still possible. Di Shilang is a man of great talent, and he must still have a heart for the Tang Dynasty. If this can be done, Di Shilang must still have a place in the court! Here Before that, I wronged Minister Di first!"

As he spoke, Li Zhen waved his hand slightly, and asked the soldiers to take him down so that he could be kept under surveillance.

Di Renjie didn't answer his words, and while being taken away by the soldiers, he turned his head to look at the empty table in the main hall with some regrets, thinking in his heart: It would be nice if he was imprisoned when he was full, but he was still hungry...

……

Fortunately, Li Zhen also seemed to be aware of this problem, and after locking Di Renjie up, he sent someone to bring him food to clean him up.

Perhaps it was because he really admired him that he was not imprisoned in a cell, but in a guest room in the backyard of the Yue Palace.

Looking at the dozen or so soldiers guarding outside, Di Renjie searched the room carefully, but found nothing that could be used as a weapon.

And if you think about it carefully, although he can do horseback riding and archery, it is not realistic for one person to quickly defeat these dozen people and escape in a short period of time.

What's more, if you really want to fight, there are already a large number of soldiers running over before the fight starts. With your own ability, it is absolutely impossible to run out from here, so let's wait and see how the situation develops.

Thinking about it, Di Renjie began to calculate in his mind where the king of Yue could finally fight.

First of all, it is impossible to fight to the east. The Emperor of God must be ready to send troops. Now that King Yue imprisoned himself, it was already tantamount to rebellion.

As long as the news reaches Dongdu, the army will be ordered to come over to put down the rebellion. It is estimated that it will be good to hit Shangcai.

After eating and drinking, Di Renjie lay on the bed, closed his eyes in a daze while thinking, and fell asleep.

After a while, rhythmic snoring resounded throughout the room. The soldiers outside looked back curiously and smiled at each other.

You can sleep in this kind of place, a big man is a big man, and the mentality is great!

……

Di Renjie slept soundly under the influence of alcohol, but the alcohol content in this era is not high, and by the middle of the night, it has almost passed.

"Boom bang bang..."

There were a few muffled sounds of something falling to the ground outside the door, and Di Renjie, who was sleeping in a daze on the bed, turned over and turned into a face-up posture.

Then he felt someone shaking his shoulders, and Di Renjie, who was about to wake up, slowly opened his eyes.

When his vision became clear, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and found a woman standing beside him!
An oval face is composed of facial features that are very harmonious no matter what angle you look at it from. The high nose bridge and those bright black eyes give her a touch of heroism amidst her charm.

He was surprised to find that standing beside her was actually Princess Taiping!

At this time, she was wearing a camouflage uniform, her long hair was tied behind her head, pinned with a wooden stick, and the hair on her forehead was also parted to the side of her face, and she was looking at him with a smile on her face.

"temple……"

"Shh!" Li Yuechen suddenly raised a finger and made a silent gesture, "Di Cishi is actually imprisoned here, I didn't expect it!"

Di Renjie lowered his voice and said, "I was imprisoned just now, and His Highness arrived in the evening. Sure enough, King Yue's plan has been exposed, right?"

"There are some things, don't think too much. This palace is also for Di Cishi's benefit!" Li Yuechen smiled, "Okay, Di Cishi will leave here with me first, and we will talk about it when we have something to go out of the city."

Hearing her reminder, Di Renjie finally came to his senses, got up and followed her out.

When I walked out of the room, I saw that the dozen or so soldiers who were in charge of guarding me fell to the ground, and each of them had a crossbow arrow stuck in their head.

I didn't hear any fighting sounds, so most of these people were shot to death at the same time, so they didn't arouse the vigilance of others.

At the same time, there were dozens of soldiers in camouflage like Li Yuechen standing in the yard, some of them were holding axes, some were holding bows and crossbows, alerting the surrounding situation.

Di Renjie turned his head in doubt: "How did His Highness enter the city?"

"Okay, let's talk while walking!" Li Yuechen waved his hand and led him away from the Yue Palace.

……

On the way to leave, Di Renjie followed them and listened to Li Yuechen's explanation, so he understood the whole story.

In fact, Li Yuechen came over just before sunset this afternoon. The original plan was to sneak into the city in disguise, but it happened by coincidence. He happened to see the scene of Di Renjie coming over.

Therefore, according to the original plan, Li Yuechen brought his men into the city and found a temporary stronghold to settle down.

She knew very well that King Yue would take the lead in abducting Di Renjie under such circumstances. As long as this behavior was confirmed, it would be treason!
That's why she came in with her men in the middle of the night to rescue Di Renjie first, so that tomorrow the king of Yue would definitely know that he was exposed, and he would definitely raise his troops and go straight to Dongdu.

In this way, Li Yuechen can directly catch him.

……

Listening to Li Yuechen's explanation, a drop of cold sweat oozed from Di Renjie's forehead. This His Highness is really brave!

Dare to sneak into the enemy's base camp with less than 200 people, I don't know whether to call it courageous or reckless.

And according to what she said, among the 200 people, there were less than fifty people who sneaked into the city with her, and most of them were still hiding outside the city!
Di Renjie couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. Even if you say you are the number one princess in the world, no matter how good you are at fighting, it's impossible for you to fight head-on with nearly 10,000 people alone, right?
Li Yuechen seemed to know what he was thinking, and smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Di, this time I came here, but I brought a secret weapon!"

The secret weapon?

Di Renjie really wanted to ask what it was, but given the current situation, it seemed inappropriate to ask more questions.

A group of people interspersed left and right in the alleys of the city, and went straight to the direction of the city wall.

"Didn't Your Highness say that there is a temporary stronghold in the city? Why do you want to go towards the city wall?" Di Renjie expressed his confusion.

"It's better to send Mr. Di out first, otherwise..."

Li Yuechen didn't continue to say what was said later, he could guess it if it wasn't enough.

After all, strictly speaking, he is also a civil servant. It may not be a big problem to say that ordinary fighting is not a big problem, but life-and-death fighting is another matter. His level is not enough to watch.

Just after turning a corner and preparing to continue walking, I heard a sharp whistle piercing the night sky, which was extremely ear-piercing.

Li Yuechen and the surrounding soldiers stopped and looked in the direction of the Yue Palace.

That's right, that's the sound of a loud arrow, it's an ancient siren, and the people of the Yue Palace have discovered that Di Renjie has been robbed!

"Your Highness!" A soldier turned his head and reminded.

"Well, change the plan, go back to the temporary stronghold first!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, took dozens of soldiers and Di Renjie around the corner, and ran towards the temporary stronghold found today.

Di Renjie also ran behind them. After a few corners in a strange gossip, everyone entered a somewhat dilapidated courtyard.

This small courtyard is not big, there are only three houses, and it is not very far from the city wall. In this era, it belongs to the suburban area.

There were no lights in the house, and the surrounding area was pitch black, presumably it was an unoccupied house.

There was no sound around, and the people who wanted to come to Yue Palace hadn't searched here yet.

"Your Highness, what should I do now?" Di Renjie asked.

"Don't worry, the other party doesn't know the direction we are leaving. If you expand the search a little bit, you won't be able to find it here tomorrow evening!" Li Yuechen smiled and waved to the soldiers next to him: "Replace each other and rest, don't keep going!" boil!"

"Yes!" The soldier agreed, leaving a few on guard, and let the other soldiers go back to the house to rest.

And Li Yuechen also waved his hand at Di Renjie: "Grandfather Di wronged, let's squeeze with the soldiers, and we will talk about the rest after dawn."

"Yes!" Di Renjie also knew that it was best not to be smart at such a time. This His Highness has always been invincible, so just follow her arrangement.

After observing outside for a while, Li Yuechen asked the rest of the soldiers to watch the night in turn, and went to rest in the empty room next to him.

……

After one night, perhaps because he didn't like sharing a bed with other people, Di Renjie seemed to be in a bad mood.

When he came out of the room, he saw that Li Yuechen was already cooking hot soup with several soldiers.

The soldiers took out their lunch boxes from their backpacks in an orderly manner, lined up and each filled a bowl of hot soup, then squatted down in a place, and took out the mustache and bacon wrapped in oil paper from their backpacks, and ate them. stand up.

A soldier filled a bowl of soup and handed it over: "Please, Governor Di!"

"Oh..." Di Renjie was a little unresponsive, and took the mustache with hot soup and bacon sandwiched in a daze.

He couldn't help being a little curious about what was in the backpacks of these soldiers.

He even saw shovels hanging from the backpacks of several soldiers.

Is it convenient to dig a hole on the spot after the murder?He couldn't help thinking in his heart.

Of course, what surprised him the most was the bacon in everyone's backpack.

Everyone in the court knew that Qianniuwei was treated well, but they didn't expect it to be so good.

It took half an hour to finish breakfast. Di Renjie looked at a group of soldiers fetching water by the well to clean their lunch boxes, and felt that no matter what they did, they were orderly, as if these little things had been strictly trained.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and the soldiers closest to the door immediately drew out their axes and slowly approached the door.

The subsequent knock on the door sounded according to a certain rhythm, and the soldiers at the door opened the door after careful identification.

A disheveled young man who looked like a beggar walked in and saluted Li Yuechen: "Your Highness, there are troops assembled in the Yue Palace, and they are moving towards the city gate!"

"Well, it seems that he doesn't intend to waste time looking for someone." Li Yuechen grinned, "The feudal lord muster his troops out of the city privately, but he will be punished as treason! Now we can arrest people."

Di Renjie next to him didn't say a word. He had already guessed about this matter pretty closely, but it was because of this that he didn't dare to speak.

Li Yuechen didn't care what he was thinking, and immediately issued an order: "Go send a signal, leave [-] people to protect Di Cishi, and follow me to arrest people!"

"Yes!" the soldiers said in unison.
