The old shopkeeper was too dim-sighted to recognize Tang Wenyu in disguise, and was dissatisfied when he saw him causing trouble in his shop.

"I told you, sir, if you don't want to listen, you can leave. Why are you taking pictures of the tables in the shop?"

"you!"

Tang Wenyu was about to explode when his hands were held down by Di Renjie, and he could only glare at the old shopkeeper bitterly.

After leaving the restaurant, Tang Wenyu cupped his hands with a guilty look on his face.

"I'm really sorry for letting a few unscrupulous people affect your mood while eating."

Di Renjie waved his hands with a smile.

"It's okay. Common people like to hear stories."

"Some time ago, there were rumors that I have an illegitimate daughter named Ruyan."

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who's a playboy?"

"It's not like that." Tang Wenyu said seriously.

"That's alright. Let the rumors and rumors die out on their own one day when the truth comes out."

After hearing these words, Tang Wenyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"You are worthy of being the current prime minister, Mr. Dige, and your open-mindedness is beyond compare."

While they were talking, the two of them came to the entrance of the residence. Tang Wenyu said a few words and left.

Di Renjie walked into the room carrying two portions of Liangpi. When the door closed, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Di Chun asked with concern when he noticed that his master's expression was not right.

"You can go to the noodle restaurant where you are eating later and ask the old shopkeeper what happened to the murderous shouts a few nights ago."

"Remember not to attract the attention of Liangzhou officials."

"Don't worry, sir, I will go to the restaurant to find the old shopkeeper.

Realizing that the matter was serious, Di Chun picked up the vegetable basket and walked onto the street.

As soon as he saw the shadow of the restaurant, he noticed a fierce tongue of fire spurting out from the door.

Then the entire restaurant was engulfed in thick smoke, and the old shopkeeper's shrill screams could be heard faintly in the fire.

When Di Renjie heard that the old shopkeeper and his family were burned alive, he sat down on a chair and looked very ugly.

The old shopkeeper revealed the truth about the Tibetan siege, and was burned to death in the restaurant.

Doesn't this mean that what he said is true, and those who died that night were not the Tufan people, but the Liangzhou defenders who were unwilling to surrender?

With this thought, Di Renjie no longer cared about etiquette and walked straight to Wu Zetian's room.

The matter was so important that he had to tell the Queen Mother Wu the news as soon as possible.

At the same time, the news that Di Renjie sent people to the restaurant was also sent to the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion.

"Are you sure that the servant who buys vegetables is Di Renjie's housekeeper?"

Tang Wenyu stood in front of the window and stared at the masked man.

"Back to the governor, I saw that man and Di Renjie standing together with my own eyes."

Upon hearing these words, Tang Wenyu sneered repeatedly.

"Okay, just now you told me not to take it seriously and then sent someone to investigate me secretly. Do you really think this officer is easy to fool?"

"Send the order to step up surveillance of the camp, and follow everyone who comes out of it to the end."

The masked man raised his head and said in confusion: "Master Fu, Zhu Yunshan has been imprisoned by you. Sergeant Liangzhou is now headed by you."

"Why not take this opportunity to capture Wu Zetian and Di Renjie and hand them over to General Lun Qinling?"

Mentioning this matter, Tang Wenyu rolled down his sleeves impatiently.

"Now is not the time to take action. Zhu Yunshan's prestige is still there, just in case the Liangzhou Army doesn't listen to the deployment and it will be troublesome.

"It is better to wait patiently for the arrival of General Lun Qinling and his army, and the two sides can cooperate inside and outside."

Speaking of this, Tang Wenyu slapped his forehead.

"By the way, a secret letter came from the Imperial Guard this morning saying that Fan Xin was leading a [-]-strong Beijing army to come to the rescue."

"Just in case, you tell Qiao An that the Liangzhou main road must be sealed tightly and this guy must not be allowed to sneak in."

"Look, whether Fan Xin is pretending to be a commoner or a rich man this time, I promise to pick him out!" The masked man chuckled, turned and left the governor's mansion, and told the Dongmen generals about Tang Wenyu's order.

"Qiao An, the task assigned above is extraordinary. You must be at your best."

"Don't worry, General Hei. Your subordinates must keep their eyes open and guard the city gate to never miss a suspicious person!"

"Well, you can stay here while I, the general, go take a look at the camp."

After watching the masked general leave, Qiao An turned around and shouted to the sergeants.

"Listen, any young man wearing a bamboo hat dressed as a commoner, wealthy businessman or prince will be carefully inspected!"

"Fan Xin must not be allowed to sneak into Liangzhou, do you hear me?"

All the defenders clasped their fists together.

At this time, a harsh gong sounded, followed by a group of officials on horseback approaching.

Behind them followed several carriages pulling prisoners.

"Isn't this Zhao Dianjiao, who has returned from arresting strong men in the village?" Qiao An glanced at the prisoner in the car and said.

"Don't mention it. My legs are almost broken trying to catch these disobedient people."

Zhao Dianjiu jumped down from his horse and said in surprise when he saw the city gate was heavily guarded.

"problem occurs?"

"Yes, the Lord of the Palace asked General Hei to pass down the message that in order to prevent Fan Xin's gang from sneaking in, everyone must be investigated in detail."

"What about these captured prisoners?"

"Forget it, what is there to investigate about the prisoner? Fan Xin is also a member of the imperial court after all. How could he enter the city in a prison car?"

"Hurry in, these damn strong men have a headache..."

Qiao An covered her mouth and moved away, signaling for the prison car to enter the city.

When the last prison car passed by, I wonder if I was dazzled by what I saw.

Qiao An felt that the disheveled young man seemed to smile at him.

……

Liangzhou Prison
"Let everyone in, uncle!"

Pushing the prisoner into the cell, the jailer snorted with his nostrils turned upward and left together.

"General, you are the one who came up with this trick to hide the truth from the enemy." Zhang Huan said with admiration.

"Stop talking nonsense, find General Zhu Yunshan as quickly as possible and rescue him!" Fan Xin said with a serious face.

Originally, he didn't know what was happening here, but someone secretly sent a message along the way that the governor of Liangzhou had defected to the Tubo people, so he sneaked into Liangzhou City quietly.

Rescue the imprisoned General Zhu and restore control of the Liangzhou Army.

Seeing Fan Xin give the order, the prisoners who were sitting listlessly on the ground suddenly started fighting.

The loud noise soon alerted the Liangzhou jailer guarding the prison.

"Be honest as fuck and get back to where you were..."

Pfft!

Zhang Huan covered a jailer who was near the fence and stabbed him in the heart.

Then he took out the key from his waistband, opened the cell door, and rushed into the depths of the cell with more than 30 guards. .

Not long after, he returned to the cell wearing the clothes of a jailer.

"General, I didn't find General Zhu in the prison."

"According to the guard, the person was transferred to a home named Qiao An the night before."

"Joan?"

Fan Xin frowned, then pulled out his sword and said solemnly.

"Before the Liangzhou officials find out, you will immediately follow me to Qiao An's home."

"Rescue Zhu Yunshan!"
