Episode 10 Chapter 330
Chapter 330
"So that's how it is!" Di You nodded seriously, but secretly hated it so much that his teeth itched. !.
Tang Yin's words could not convince the crowd at all. How could Li Dan assassinate the kings? The armies of the various countries have completely occupied Xitang. Even if Li Dan's action can really succeed, he will still be dead in the end, not to mention that he has no chance of success at all.
Di You is in the intelligence business and is well-informed. He knows clearly that although Li Dan has moved into the palace, the actual control of the palace is still in the hands of the coalition forces. In this case, Li Dan will assassinate the kings unless he is crazy.
This is a false accusation. Now Di You has completely understood that the coalition's previous words that "the attack on Zhen is ordered by the emperor, only to drive the usurper Li Hong off the throne, not to destroy the Zhen Kingdom" are completely false. The coalition forces not only want to abolish Li Hong, but also want to destroy the Zhen Kingdom, and then further divide the Zhen Kingdom, so that the Zhen Kingdom will always become a noun in history.
It was Kong Qing who took the initiative to find him and ask him to help the coalition. He also believed that his old commander would never be a traitor. He must have been deceived by the coalition at that time. Now the coalition has torn off the hypocritical mask, and Kong Qing, who has been kept in the dark, will be in a very dangerous situation. This is why Di You came to find Kong Qing.
But now the coalition has been saying that Kong Qing has left Xitang to perform other tasks. Di You, who knows the evil of people, has already felt that Kong Qing is in danger.
Thinking about this, Di You's heart was broken. He hurriedly lowered his head, afraid that Tang Yin would see the mist in his eyes. Di You did not dare to show his true emotions, because he did not want to lose the last chance of revenge.
"Since this is the case..." After a while, Di You raised his head and said to Tang Yin with a smile: "Then I will not disturb the king. I will take my leave first!" As he spoke, he bowed to Tang Yin again.
No matter how much Di You could practice to hide his emotions, he could not hide the murderous intent that naturally emanated from him. Tang Yin had always been very intuitive about this.
He curved his eyes, waved his hands with a smile, and said, "It's rare for Mr. Di You to come to the military camp. Why rush back? Just sit for a while..."
Before he finished speaking, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and Pang Li walked in from outside. Seeing Di You in Tang Yin's tent, Pang Li was very surprised and asked in doubt: "Brother Di, why are you here?"
Di You looked at Pang Li deeply, then smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I came to the military camp to find General Kong, and happened to be met by His Royal Highness Feng Wang, so His Royal Highness invited me here."
"Oh, that's it." Pang Li said with a smile: "Brother Di came at a very bad time. General Kong has gone to the western counties to persuade the local garrisons to surrender. He is not in the military camp now. Right, King?"
While speaking, she had already nestled beside Tang Yin like a kitten, and her little hands kept rubbing against him.
Seeing this, Di You immediately turned his eyes to the side and said: "Your Highness Feng Wang, it seems that I really can't disturb you anymore. Goodbye!"
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, looked at Pang Li leaning against him, and then looked at Di You who wanted to leave. He was silent.
Thinking that he had acquiesced, Di You bowed again and slowly retreated out of the tent. When he was about to leave the tent, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Oh, right! His Highness Feng Wang has taken good care of the people in the outer city. The Feng army not only did not harm the chastity, but also tried its best to protect them. The people are very grateful for His Highness Feng Wang's kindness. Therefore, I dare to invite the king to have a meal at my humble home tonight, which is also a thank you to His Highness Feng Wang on behalf of the people."
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, tapped his forehead lightly and thought about it, nodded and said, "Mr. Di You, please rest assured, I will definitely go to your teahouse tonight."
"I am waiting for your arrival!" Di You said politely, then turned and left.
Watching Di You leave, Tang Yin did not send anyone to kill him, but turned his head to look at Pang Li beside him and asked with a smile: "Did you do it on purpose?"
Pang Li was confused and asked, "Why did the king say that?"
Tang Yin smiled and said, "Pretending to be intimate with me in front of Di You." Then he would give Di You an excuse to leave immediately.
Pang Li shook her head, looked at Tang Yin with resentful eyes, and said: "Why should I pretend to be close to the king in front of Brother Di? Does the king suspect that there is something going on between me and Brother Di?"
Tang Yin was not distracted by her topic at all. He stood up, looked down at Pang Li, and said frankly: "I know you are Di You's subordinate and have a deep relationship with him, but now Di You has the idea of killing me. You must make a choice, either with me or with him. Tonight, I will send a large army to besiege Di You's tavern. I will not let anyone in it go. You can choose where to go!" After saying that, he walked out without looking back.
He didn't play dumb with Pang Li, but simply made everything clear and threw the question of position to her. If the Feng army besieged the tavern tonight and failed, it was obvious that Pang Li must have leaked the news and she chose to stand on Di You's side. If the Feng army can successfully strangle Di You's party tonight, it means that Pang Li still prefers herself and has not spread the news.
Tang Yin left, leaving Pang Li dumbfounded and dazed in the big tent.
Since she had always been by Tang Yin's side, she knew much more than Di You. Pang Li had heard about Ziying's secret execution of Kong Qing, but she didn't dare to make it public. At this time, she knew that the purpose of the coalition was not simple, and it was definitely not just to get Li Hong out of office. The facts proved that her guess was correct. Then Li Dan was killed in the palace and the prince's party was strangled by the coalition.
Until then, Pang Li did not regret telling Tang Yin about the waterway. The rise and fall of Zhen State was not important to her. She was very fortunate to meet Tang Yin, a man who made her heart move.
But today, when she heard that Di You was taken to Tang Yin's tent, she couldn't sit still. She knew that with Tang Yin's personality, he would definitely kill everyone. He would never let Di You, who knew a lot of inside information, go.
Di You was like a brother and a father to her. She was taken care of by Di You when she was only a teenager. All her spiritual martial arts were taught by Di You. She was able to achieve what she has today entirely because of Di You. If the latter was in danger, she had to save him. So there was the scene just now.
Now Tang Yin was pushing her into a dead end. On one side was the man she loved, and on the other side was the greatest benefactor of her life. How could she choose?
After an unknown amount of time, Pang Li came to her senses and looked around. There was no trace of Tang Yin.
She returned to her tent like a walking corpse, shrank to the corner of the tent, slowly slid to the ground, and did not move for a long time. At this time, she was also making a painful choice in her heart.
If she was asked to choose Tang Yin and abandon Di You, she would probably hate herself for the rest of her life. If she was asked to choose Di You and betray Tang Yin, she thought she would never be happy again in this life. After thinking it over, she stood up, ground ink and took paper, and quickly wrote a line of words: Tonight, if the king does not come, the Feng army will definitely come, so flee quickly. After drying the ink, she carefully rolled the paper into a thin roll and was about to tie it to the pigeon, but suddenly she felt something was wrong. She put away the paper roll and wandered around the camp as if nothing had happened.
Pang Li was an intelligence agent and was good at tracking and tracing. Of course, she was also a master of anti-tracking and anti-tracing. She seemed to be wandering around casually, but in fact she was observing whether anyone was following her. The result disappointed her, but there was no one.
She really hoped that someone was following her, which meant that Tang Yin did not trust her and was always suspicious of her. In this way, although it would be difficult for her to send a message to Di You, she would at least feel more comfortable. But the fact was that Tang Yin trusted her so much.
Unwilling to give up, Pang Li deliberately went out of the camp and wandered to the outer city area of Xitang, but through her secret observation, she still did not find anyone following her. In the end, she had to give up and returned to her tent. After struggling for a long time, she finally decided to release the pigeon and send a message to Di You. She didn't want to live in regret and pain for the rest of her life, so she chose to betray Tang Yin. It would be best if he could understand her. If he couldn't, he could kill her, and that would be the end of it.
Pang Li, who came from an intelligence background, never left her pigeons. The pigeons she used were also trained by Di You for a long time and knew how to avoid danger.
She watched the pigeons fly higher and higher, gradually turning into a small black dot in her sight, and finally disappearing completely.
Pang Li lived in fear all day, and when it was evening, she was even more restless. Finally, she made up her mind and went to find Tang Yin to see what was going on.
When Pang Li arrived, Tang Yin already had a distinguished guest in his tent, Lingshuang.
Lingshuang came to Tang Yin at this time not to discuss government affairs, but to complain, or more accurately, to find someone to talk to. She explained to Tang Yin how brutal the An and Huan armies were in the past few days, how they killed people, looted property and set fires, and how Yue Ze and Li Xin treated the Zhenguo Palace as their own harem, and how they were unruly and so on.
In fact, even if Ling Shuang didn't say these things, Tang Yin had already heard about them. After she vented all her anger, he just smiled faintly and said, "It's expected, not surprising!"
"The chaos in the palace..."
"Zhen is dead, where is the palace?" Tang Yin interrupted her with a smile.
Ling Shuang was stunned for a moment, but still shook her head stubbornly and said, "I still think that what the An and Huan armies did was too much."
"Whether it is too much or not, naturally someone will make the final decision." Tang Yin shrugged and said, "Tonight, the Chuan and Mo armies will arrive in Xitang. Brother Xiao Xuan, as the leader of the coalition, I believe he will handle it impartially."
"I'm afraid that the situation will be even worse by then!" Ling Shuang murmured. With the two armies of An and Huan in the city, Xitang is already in chaos. If the two armies of Chuan and Mo are added, Xitang will probably be destroyed.
