Chapter 59: The Pit Viper Strikes Again
Youzhou Governor's Mansion, main hall.
"Master Di takes the order." Qianniuwei handed a red embroidered dragon brocade set to Di Renjie, which was a gift from Luoyang.
Di Renjie hurriedly knelt down and buckled his head, shouted three long live, and then stretched out his hand to take the brocade set, because it was a secret decree that only Di Renjie was allowed to watch alone, so Qian Niuwei did not read it out publicly, after Di Renjie took over the holy decree, Qian Niuwei withdrew from the main hall very familiarly.
Di Renjie stood up, took out the holy decree from the brocade set, and after reading it quickly, his face showed joy: "Great, the emperor is shengming." ”
Wu Zetian had already agreed to his request, and named him the chief of the march of Hebei Province, and at the same time ordered Wang Huaizhen to be the deputy general, and the troops were stationed in Changhua, as long as the auspicious khan arrived, he could immediately send troops, and also gave Di Renjie the right to act cheaply.
Governor's Mansion, two halls.
"Di Gong, how's it going?" Seeing Di Renjie coming in, Jili Khan hurriedly asked.
Soon after the two met, Jili Khan also moved into the governor's palace and waited for news from the imperial court, and Di Renjie kept a tight seal on him.
"The emperor has allowed me to play, General Wang Huaizhen has now stationed troops in Changhua, as long as His Majesty arrives, he can immediately send troops, but because things are in a hurry, it will take another day to prepare materials, Your Majesty will stay in Youzhou for one more day and set off tomorrow." Di Renjie said.
Ji Ji Khan's lips trembled slightly, he waited for so long, and finally waited for good news, he grabbed Di Renjie's hand and said: "Di Gong, great grace is not grateful, Ji Li swears in the name of his ancestors that he will never regard China as an enemy in this life and this life, if this oath is violated, people and gods will abandon it." ”
"Your Majesty, you and I are in a hurry to get together but are about to separate, people are old and affectionate, I hope that Weichen can still see Your Majesty in his lifetime." Di Renjie clasped Jili's hands and said emotionally.
"Yes, yes." After that, Jili Khan took off the tiger-headed flying eagle ring on his hand, put it in Di Renjie's hand, and said: "The Turkic man has always spoken loudly, and this ring will be given to Di Gong. ”
……
Outside the city of Youzhou, ancient temples.
"Master, the pit viper is out there."
"Oh, let him in." Jin Mulan, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, stood up.
With the sound of heavy footsteps, the pit viper walked into the main hall, and this time the pit viper was less leisurely and more dignified than before.
"Why are you here?" Jin Mulan asked in surprise, usually during the day, the pit viper would not come to see him, because the risk was too high, and his identity was inconvenient.
"Li Er is not dead." The pit viper said in a deep voice.
"What!" Jin Mulan was taken aback when she heard this, Li Er was injured by the shadowless needle of the pit viper before, although the body was not found, but he never appeared, Jin Mulan and the others thought that Li Er was dead, but they didn't expect to wait for such news.
"He was rescued by Huang Gongheng, he has been secretly recuperating from his injuries, today the holy decree of the imperial court has arrived, he will go to Changhua tomorrow to meet Wang Huaizhen and send troops to the Turks together, and it is precisely because of this that I found him." The pit viper said.
"Where is he now?" Jin Mulan asked anxiously.
"The Governor's Mansion."
"He must die." Jin Mulan looked at the pit viper and said, "Now I have contacted around according to Liu Jin's list, most of my colleagues have already nodded, and now that the Turkic foreign aid has also been in place, there must be no accidents, so this Li Er must die." ”
The pit viper just sighed softly and didn't answer.
"What's wrong, why don't you speak?" Jin Mulan asked.
The pit viper looked at Jin Mulan and asked, "Do you want to be the emperor?" ”
"You don't like it?"
"You're a woman."
"Wu Zetian is also a woman." Jin Mulan stared straight at the pit viper and said.
"If I could, I would be willing to live with you, live in isolation, and live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes." The pit viper whispered.
"I know, everything you do is for me." As she spoke, the expression on Jin Mulan's face softened a lot.
"I hope all this is not in vain, and it will not be in vain." The pit viper sighed.
"It won't be done in vain."
"If I die, give up, find a place where no one knows, and live in seclusion." The pit viper said suddenly.
"Why? What did you find? ”
"Nothing, just a bad premonition."
"......" Jin Mulan didn't speak, and she didn't know what to say.
"I'm waiting for your answer." After a long silence, the pit viper spoke, his tone a little tougher.
"Okay, I promise you!"
"Hmm." After getting an accurate reply from Jin Mulan, the pit viper turned to leave, and when he reached the door of the main hall, the pit viper stopped and added, "Tonight, I will kill Li Er." ”
"General." After the pit viper left, Yu Feng walked in, he was in charge of contacting all walks of life, and now that he has finished contacting, he naturally returned to Jin Mulan's side to listen.
"You immediately lead people to guard the various intersections leading from Youzhou to Changhua, and once you find Li Er, kill him at all costs." Jin Mulan said with a serious face.
"General, pit viper, isn't it?"
Jin Mulan sighed and said, "Just in case." ”
"Yes!"
……
In the quiet night, in the Governor's Mansion, a figure swept through the flowers, and a team of patrolling soldiers came over, and the black shadow cat hid in the flowers.
The main hall was empty, the lights were dark, and after the pit viper entered through the window, he stood quietly in the room for a few seconds, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness before walking towards the west room.
The doors and windows of the west room were closed, and the pit viper took out a dagger from his arms, and scratched on the window paper, making a cut, through this opening, he happened to see the bed, Li Er was lying on the bed at the moment, with his back to the pit viper, and he was already asleep.
The pit viper took out a box from his arms, which was the shadowless needle launch box, aimed the launch port at Li Er, deducted the launch mechanism, and shot a shadowless needle from the box, which happened to be inserted into Li Er's neck, and the whole shadowless needle was submerged into the neck, and then the pit viper launched three shadowless needles, which were shot into Li Er's body through the quilt.
After the previous defeat, the pit viper was much more cautious this time, and he had to ensure that Li Er died.
The pit viper did not leave, but walked to the door, gently pinched the copper lock, and fought on the lock cylinder, only to hear the "click", the copper lock was opened, the pit viper pushed the door open, walked in, and at the same time pulled out the Youlan sword, and walked towards Li Er, he wanted to make sure that he killed Li Er this time, and there must be no accidents.
A sword pierced Li Er's throat.
