Steel Dynasty - Chapter 884

[Chapter 882 Di Ying’s entanglement]

Qingzhou.

Di Ying looked at the roster of students’ reports sternly. After the order from Jinling City came back, the cabinet immediately asked the security station to strengthen the supervision of the students.

“Commander, what kind of tricks do you think the Merchant Council can play? They want to take people away from our eyes. They are a bit fanciful.” said a guard.

Di Ying snorted softly and said: “No matter how powerful they are, they can’t escape the eyes of our guard station. No matter what, since it is the emperor’s order, we must pay attention to it, otherwise no one will bear the responsibility if something goes wrong.” I can’t accept this responsibility.”

“Yes, Commander!” the guards said solemnly.

After informing the guards, Di Ying left alone. He turned a corner and walked towards a breakfast stall. Every morning after patrolling the guards, he would always come here to eat a bowl of hot tofu.

“Commander Di came a little late today, but as usual, I left a bowl just for him.” As soon as Di Ying sat down, the owner of the bean curd stall squinted his eyes and smiled.

Because it was too late, Di Ying was the only one at the Dou Nao stall. After looking around, Di Ying said to the owner of Dou Nao, “Thank you very much.”

As he spoke, the owner of Dou Nao filled a bowl of hot Dounao came over and put Dounao down.

After taking a sip from the tofu bag, Di Ying said seemingly unintentionally: “They say people leave when the tea is cold. This tofu is cold, and it’s time for people to leave.”

The owner of Doufu with cerebral palsy suffocated when he heard this, and his eyes flickered. After a moment, he said softly: “Thank you.”

Di Ying didn’t speak, just lowered his head and ate the tofu buns, but at this time his hands were trembling slightly, because he knew that once you walk out of this road, you will never be able to look back. .

The hand holding the spoon became harder and harder, and Di Ying’s breathing became rapid. He vaguely remembered the scene three months ago when the owner with cerebral palsy showed the half-million gold dragon banknotes in front of him.

At first, he just wanted to arrest this person for interrogation, but his words made him finally give up.

“General Di, you went through life and death for Xiao Ming, made great military exploits, and rushed to Bashu alone, but in the end you ended up like this. Are you willing to be the commander of this guard post? Look, now Lu Fei, Qi Guangyi, Luo I believe that the general is not the leader, but you? You are just a scapegoat. “

It’s you who can’t help me.” This sentence kept ringing in Di Ying’s ears like a curse, and he began to mutter to himself.

He has not been happy every day since he became the commander. He is a soldier and should lead the army in war, instead of sitting in Qingzhou City catching thieves every day.

He originally thought that he could accept the punishment imposed on him by the court, but the arrival of this person completely caused his psychological defense to collapse.

Not sure how he finished eating the tofu nao, Di Ying slowly stood up and looked at the shopkeeper of the tofu nao stall who had disappeared into the crowd.

This person was the secret agent buried by the King of Chu in Qingzhou City. He had lived in Qingzhou City for a total of six years. If he had not shown up on his own initiative, no one would have known his true identity.

By what he said just now, he was telling the owner of Dou Nao Tan that everything was ready, and he had already designed an escape route for him.

Sighing, Di Ying turned around and walked back. She didn’t go far only to see Wang Xuan walking towards him.

A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Di Ying’s back. He couldn’t help but put his hand on the waist knife, and all kinds of thoughts filled his head for a while.

“Commander Di, what a coincidence.” Wang Xuan looked dusty. When he saw Di Ying, he took the initiative to say hello.

Di Ying still did not dare to let down his guard. He said: “Commander Wang, have you just come back?”

“Yes, I plan to come back this time to rest for a few days, and then go to the south to help Li San.” Wang Xuan looked relaxed, and now the north The war is basically over, and the work of intelligence collection has become less.

Now the focus of the Secret Guard’s work is in the south.

Di Ying nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. He said, “How is the war in the south? Needless to say, Lu Fei is going to make great contributions again.”

Wang Xuan, a man like a human being, immediately learned from Di Ying’s words Hearing the sour taste, he said: “Commander Di must be envious.”

“What’s there to be envious about? It’s better to be relaxed in Qingzhou than to lose your head at any time on the battlefield.” Di Ying looked indifferent.

“Ah, then this is a pity. As far as I know, the emperor seems to be interested in using Commander Di?” Wang Xuan said with a smile.

Di Ying’s body froze, and he said in disbelief: “Commander Wang, please don’t lie to me. I am just a sinner now, how can I re-enter the army.”

“Can my words be false? These days The emperor saw your performance in Qingzhou in 2016. So many achievements are enough to offset the mistakes you made at the beginning. What’s more, you can’t be entirely blamed for that incident. The emperor once told me that this way of dealing with you was also for the sake of the anger of the common people. , so I dealt with it a little impatiently, and I feel a little ashamed of you for this matter.”

After a pause, Wang Xuan said: “It’s just that the emperor is the emperor after all, and it’s hard to follow his words, so now that the opportunity has come, I am ready to make you official. Reinstated.”

Di Ying was stunned and murmured: “Impossible, impossible.”

Wang Xuan patted Di Ying on the shoulder, “Believe it or not, I’m going home to sleep.

” , leaving Di Ying alone on the street.

With her eyes wandering aimlessly, Di Ying looked a little dazed. She didn’t know how long she had been standing there, but Di Ying’s expression suddenly became firm.

He immediately rushed to the guard station and said to all the guards: “Everyone, follow me. King Chu’s secret work is in the city. Today we are preparing to lead the students to escape to the south.”

The guards were shocked, and they immediately put on their plate armor and left one after another. The security post sealed off the four gates of Qingzhou City.

At the same time, Di Ying sent someone to deliver the same news to Wang Xuan.

At this time, Wang Xuan had just returned home. When he heard the news, he realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately asked the secret guards to take action.

“Di Ying, you almost made a big mistake.”

Wang Xuan looked at Di Ying and felt that iron could not become steel. Di Ying was the oldest general of the Qingzhou Army. They grew up together. Now Di Ying is collaborating with foreign enemies. This incident also made him lose face.

Di Ying explained all his problems and sighed, “I have always had a resentment in my heart over the years, so I was easily deceived. I am sorry for the emperor. I will let the emperor handle this matter later.”

Wang Xuan shook his head. , he said nothing more, but immediately followed the security guard to Qingzhou University. Now they still have a chance to prevent this from happening.

Di Ying also followed closely. He made a big mistake in this matter. Now the only chance to make amends is to catch the shopkeeper of the bean curd stall.
