Chapter 166: The Assassin in the Main Hall
It's just that what does Su Lie mean by "borrowing corpses to return souls"? This made Di Renjie care a lot. However, Di Renjie now also understands that General Su must have known something, so he caused the disaster of killing. Because it's so hard for a living person to keep a secret. Dead people can't speak, and that's probably what the empress intended.
So it's no wonder that General Su saw him in prison and didn't tell the truth. If General Su leaks the secret, he will definitely die. If he keeps his mouth shut, maybe the empress can still let him live. Di Renjie thought about General Su, probably praying in his heart.
It's just that right now, Su Lie and Li Xin are plotting a rebellion together. After he rescued the empress, the Su family was guilty of destroying the door no matter what. Unless Su Lie can turn against the enemy and abandon the darkness and turn to the light, maybe through negotiations with the empress, there will still be a glimmer of life.
"General Su, I have a general understanding of what you said. The empress must be because she is not worried about General Su, so she is looking for trouble from you. In fact, I have a way to solve the empress's concerns. After Di Renjie thought about it, he glanced at Su Lie.
"What's the solution?" Su Lie frowned. He really couldn't guess that Di Renjie had any way to save the lives of his father and the Su family. It can also reassure the empress and not pursue the past.
"I once had a strange medicine called Lechuan Dan. It is rumored that it was developed by the water of Lethe River in the prefecture, and if you take this medicine, you can make people forget the past. If General Su took this medicine, he would forget the order given by the empress, and the empress would have no need to kill him. Are you right? Di Renjie asked.
"There is such a miracle medicine in the world?! It's simply unheard of. Su Lie was like hearing something terrible.
"There are many wonders in the world." Di Renjie said with a wry smile. How dare he tell the truth, this medicine was obtained by him from a certain monarch in the demon world. It's not a human thing, and of course people in the world haven't heard of it.
"It's just that Master Di, although your method is feasible, I don't know if the empress can agree?" Su Lie thought that Di Renjie had a way to make the empress let the Su family go, and he saw some hope in his heart. He regretted that he didn't find Di Renjie earlier, so that the matter could be solved, and he would not follow Li Xin to rebel and become a chaotic minister and thief.
"I lobbied in front of the empress, and I think she could agree." Di Renjie replied with a serious expression.
He knew the empress's mind and what she wanted. As far as the interests are concerned, it is best to be able to turn big things into small things and calm people. The Su family is a meritorious family no matter what, the reputation of the old general Su is loyal, and Su Lie left home to guard the Great Wall at a young age, and he also made a lot of contributions to Heluo. Rather than bearing the charge of killing a loyal minister, it is better to separate and be lenient, and each one is fine.
"Hey! Master Di, I can trust you! It's a pity it's late! I have kidnapped the empress, this is a real crime! The Empress will not let me go easily! There's no going back! Su Lie's face showed a look of remorse, and he sighed again and again.
"Now the empress is in the camp, and it is very dangerous. If you can help me, save the Empress from prison. This rescue and hijacking can be offset together. Di Renjie saw that Su Lie was relieved, and immediately took the opportunity to persuade him.
"This... Can this work? Can the empress really care? She may not be able to forgive me! Su Lie's heart was like carrying a bucket of water, up and down.
"As long as you help me rescue the empress now, I have my own way to help you!" Di Renjie looked serious like Su Lie assured.
What a character the empress is, of course she will not swallow her anger when she is humiliated. However, extraordinary times require extraordinary methods, and he already has a plan in his heart for the empress to forgive Su Lie.
"This..."Su Lie was still hesitant, his eyes flickering.
At this moment, a small soldier hurriedly ran towards the two of them.
"General Su! Wan'er! Oh no! Someone has assassinated His Majesty! There was a fight in the main hall! Go and help! The soldier clung to his throat and screamed loudly, like a fire burning his ass.
"What? Assassin! What does it look like? Di Renjie's heart sank, that assassin shouldn't be the empress! This sucks! There were many soldiers in the camp, spearmen, archers. If the empress can't capture Li Xin in one fell swoop. Presumably, he will be trapped in the camp under the bloody battle.
"Like, like a female assassin! That assassin is so powerful, the little ones can't even see it! Hurry up and rescue the two adults! The little ones have to inform the other adults to come over! The soldier was sweating profusely.
"What else is it called? I'll just go with General Su! Go back and get back to your life! Di Renjie put up the shelf and gave an order to this little soldier with a straight face. The situation was grim at the moment, and the more people rushed to help, the less chance he would have of saving the empress from the camp. If you can stop this little soldier from moving the rescuer, it can be regarded as helping you reduce the pressure in disguise.
"But... This.. That assassin is amazing! With a golden glow! Xiao Bing looked puzzled and explained anxiously.
"Heh, do you think General Su and I can't subdue that assassin?" Di Renjie's cold gaze was as sharp as a blade, and he saw that the little soldier trembled.
"Nope! No! Can't! The little ones don't dare! "The little soldier was about to cry in fright, he was an errand runner, where did he dare to look down on these big people.
"Then don't get out of here!" Di Renjie's face darkened a little more.
This little soldier saw that Shangguan Wan'er's face was dark, and General Su Lie didn't squeak, so he must have acquiesced. If he screams to move the rescuers, it is estimated that he will be the one who will shout for help later.
"Yes! Little obedience! The little soldier nodded and ran away.
After Di Renjie saw that the little soldier had walked away, a cyan rune was born in his hand. He raised his hand extremely quickly, and his fingertips hit the rune on Su Lie's back, and a faint light flashed, and the formation of the Xuanjin spell he cast on Su Lie was unraveled.
"If I'm not mistaken, the assassin in the main hall is Her Majesty the Empress." Di Renjie's frowning brows were almost condensed into a Sichuan shape. When Su Lie heard this, his face turned white and he was secretly taken aback.
"The situation is urgent, so I'll rush to the rescue first. General Su, think about it! After Di Renjie glanced at Su Lie seriously, he clicked on his toes, and his figure flew to the eaves of the wall lightly. Then he flew into the air, and his figure landed on an eaves very quickly, and he rushed towards the main hall.
Su Lie stayed where he was, watching Di Renjie's back disappear, and silently clenched his fists.
In the main hall of the camp.
Li Xin Junlang's face was bloodied, he clenched the long knife menacingly, and his eyes were fixed on the woman in the room who was wearing a cloth dress but had a very cold face.
