Chapter 517: Three Birds with One Stone
As soon as he said this, all the troops were shocked, but then the doubts in their hearts had already dissipated, and they all said loudly: "We support the general's decision to welcome Emperor Yongli into Yunnan." ”
Li Dingguo said: "Since everyone agrees, let's start preparing." ”
After receiving the order, all the generals went back to prepare for the Yongli Emperor.
After most of the day, the guards came to report that the killer had woken up.
Li Dingguo decided to go and take a look, and personally asked the killer why he assassinated him.
Because the killer was seriously injured and was not fit to be kept in a cell, he was placed in a side room, guarded by four people in front of and behind the house, and two on the roof.
Li Dingguo walked into the house and saw the killer lying quietly on the bed in the corner, his eyes slightly closed, and his face was very bad.
When the killer saw Li Dingguo enter the house, he suddenly became alert, his eyes widened, and he stared at Li Dingguo with murderous anger on his face. He wanted to get up, but with a little effort, he felt a heart-piercing pain in his limbs. His hands were weak and he leaned against the wall.
Li Dingguo is even more strange, this person still maintains hatred for himself in this state, and even wants to pounce and kill himself, why is this?
He stared coldly at the man's face and asked loudly, "Who are you, and why did you assassinate General Ben?"
The man snorted and didn't answer his culture.
One of the guards beside Li Dingguo walked over, grabbed the killer's arm, put his fingers into his wound, and slammed into his wounds, shouting: "The general is asking you, how dare you be so rude!
The killer broke out in a cold sweat of pain, and he almost fainted. But he gritted his teeth and didn't snort.
Li Dingguo secretly admired this person's perseverance and courage in his heart, waved his hand at the guard and said loudly: "Stand down!"
The guard let go of his hand and took two steps back.
Li Dingguo said gently: "I think you are also a good man, and the most respected thing in my life is a good man, so although you want to kill me quickly, I still respect you for three points." It's just that I don't quite understand, we don't know each other, why do you hate me so much? It's all at this time, and it's okay to talk about it, not to mention that even if it's death, you should let me die to understand, right?"
The killer looked at Li Dingguo in disbelief, his face softened a little, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Do you still remember Zhou Rouqiang, the commander of Jiangchuan County? Do you remember Gushan? Do you remember the thousands of ordinary people in Jiangchuan?"
Li Dingguo was suddenly startled and couldn't help but take a step back. In the battle of Gushan, thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jiangchuan were killed, how could he not remember such a tragic event?
If the assassination of this person in front of him is to avenge the Jiangchuan army and civilians, this makes sense.
At that time, he did not come to command in person, but sent the general Feng Shuangli to lead his troops to the county seat to capture. In the end, when Feng Shuangli reported the situation of the battle to him, he couldn't help but sigh for a while.
But firstly, he did not see the tragic scene with his own eyes, and secondly, in his heart, these Jiangchuan soldiers and civilians were all stubborn remnants of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not a pity to die. What's more, he has fought a hundred battles in the south for so many years, and he has never seen any major battles? Naturally, he will not be obsessed with this matter all the time.
But the spirit of Jiangchuan soldiers and civilians who are not afraid of life and death caused a wave in his heart after all.
Li Dingguo nodded and said, "I understand." But you have to know that this is only war, and there is no hatred between me and you. I respect you as a man, so I don't want to treat you badly. But since you are my enemy, you must die. Unless you figure it out and don't be my enemy anymore. You can recuperate here for the time being, and I will give you seven days, and it is up to you whether you live or die. ”
After Li Dingguo finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
The killer gritted his teeth behind him and said, "You and I have no enmity, how dare you say that there is no enmity? As long as I still have a breath, I will definitely kill you." ”
That night, Murong Feihu came to Li Dingguo's room. Li Dingguo asked, "How is the investigation?"
Murong Feihu said with a solemn expression: "There are already eyebrows......
Li Dingguo stopped his words, took out the left and right guards, and then said in a low voice: "Say, who is the traitor?"
Murong Feihu said in a low voice, "It's Qin Feihe!"
When Murong Feihu said the words "Qin Feihe", Li Dingguo's heart was shocked. Because he likes Qin Feihe very much, he also attaches great importance to Qin Feihe. Because Qin Feihe is a general, he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, has courage and knowledge, and is capable of doing things, and he is a rare general.
He originally had high hopes for Qin Feihe, but now Murong Feihu found out that he was a traitor. This was difficult for him to accept for a while.
After a while, Li Dingguo asked, "Have you checked it clearly?"
Murong Feihu said: "It's clear." Last night, one of the two assassins was Ding Cheng and the other was Cong Fei. Both of them are the remnants of the former Jiangchuan County Commander. The injured one is called Cong Fei, who was the head catcher next to Zhou Rouqiang, the former commander of Jiangchuan County. That Ding Cheng is Zhou Rouqiang's sworn brother. Just two days ago, someone saw the two of them being led into the pioneer camp by Qin Feihe. And according to the understanding of his subordinates, Ding Cheng and Qin Feihe have known each other for a long time, and the relationship between the two seems to be not ordinary. ”
Murong Feihu has followed Li Dingguo for many years, not only strong in martial arts, but also shrewd and capable. He also saved Li Dingguo several times in times of crisis. Therefore, Li Dingguo has great trust in Murong Feihu.
Murong Feihu said this, Li Dingguo had already believed nine points, but he still held on to the last glimmer of hope. He hoped that Murong Feihu was mistaken, because he was reluctant to lose such an excellent general as Qin Feihe.
Li Dingguo stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go see this Ding Cheng." ”
Ding Cheng was locked up in an iron prison for several days, and no one came except for the food delivery man.
On this day, Ding Cheng was meditating and exercising, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then a few creaks, the iron door was opened, and a group of people walked in.
At the head was a general-like man, eight feet tall, with a mighty face and an extraordinary bearing.
Although he didn't know this general, Murong Feihu beside the general, even if he turned to ashes, he would recognize it.
Although Ding Cheng and the others were very excited in their hearts, they pretended to be okay on the surface and sat quietly without moving.
I only heard Murong Feihu say: "General, this is that assassin Ding Cheng." He said to Ding Cheng again: "Ding Cheng, our general has come to see you in person." ”
Today is the winter solstice, and the custom in some places is to eat dumplings, and in some places to eat mutton soup. Tell me what customs you have there.
