Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 206 Dialogue
Inside the apse of Shangyang Palace, cigarette smoke was thick and purple air was wafting.

Wu Zetian stood quietly in front of the window, with her back to the palace door, when she heard footsteps behind her, her body moved slightly, but she didn't turn her head.

Di Renjie walked slowly behind her and called out "Your Majesty" softly.

Wu Zetian turned around abruptly, and Di Renjie froze immediately.

Tears were already streaming down the emperor's cheeks.

Di Renjie took a deep breath, but he didn't ask or speak.

Wu Zetian's lips trembled, letting tears run down his face.

Di Renjie sighed softly and said, "I remember the last time I saw His Majesty cry, it was when he talked about Prince Zhanghuai many years ago."

Wu Zetian gently wiped away the tears on his face, and forced a little smile: "Yes, that happened many years ago. Huaiying, you know, although I am a woman, I never shed tears lightly."

Di Renjie nodded: "It seems that the victory His Majesty expected has not come."

Wu Zetian gave a bitter smile: "Victory?!"

Tears welled up in her eyes again, she took a deep breath, and said word by word: "You Weiwei's [-] troops were wiped out in Dongxia Stone Valley!"

Di Renjie trembled all over, and blurted out in surprise: "What? The whole army was wiped out!"

Wu Zetian nodded: "Generals Chen Kai and Wu Jing of You Weiwei were killed in battle. General Wang Xiaojie led a thousand remnants and fled back to Chongzhou!"

Di Renjie gasped.

Wu Zetian turned around: "The day before yesterday, I received a Tang newspaper from Zhao Wenhuang, saying that he had successfully detoured behind the Khitan people through the Turks, and was about to launch a general attack with Wang Xiaojie who was in front, but today..."

Di Renjie said softly: "Your Majesty, what else was said in the pond newspaper?"

Wu Zetian went to the table and picked up the pond newspaper: "You can read it yourself."

Di Renjie quickly took over the pond newspaper and read it carefully, and then slowly raised his head: "The pond newspaper only said that Wang Xiaojie's main force was lured into Dongxia Stone Valley by Li Jinzhong, and the whole army was wiped out, but the cause and effect are not clear. ,seem……"

Wu Zetian asked: "What does it seem?"

Di Renjie said: "It seems that this Tang newspaper is the last one."

Wu Zetian was inexplicable after hearing this: "What? What is the last copy?"

Di Renjie smiled: "That's right, before this pond report, there should be many reports about emergency military situations sent back to the court."

Wu Zetian said strangely: "But, the Ministry of War has not received it!"

Di Renjie took a deep breath: "There is something strange about this matter!"

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty, please be patient for a while, and don't spread the word about it for the time being. Within two days, I will definitely repay you."

Wu Zetian looked at him for a long time, then nodded slowly.

……

Baolingtang.

Wang Mang was lowering his head in meditation behind the desk when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Wu Xiang walked in quickly: "Master, Mr. Lu has arrived."

"Oh?"

Wang Mang raised his head: "Where is it now?"

Wu Xiang said: "It's in the main hall!"

Wang Mang nodded slightly: "Go, go and have a look!"

With that said, he raised his foot and walked out.

Soon, the two came to the main hall, and Wang Mang saw a short old man sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.

Although the old man is in his sixtieth year, it can be vaguely seen from his appearance that the old man is Lu Cheng.

Wang Mang took a step forward: "Uncle Lu, Jing Yang is looking forward to you!"

Lu Cheng opened his eyes, looked at Wang Mang and smiled: "It's Jing Yang, you are so old, remember the last time we met you were not yet the weakest crown!"

Wang Mang smiled: "Yes, I haven't seen you for so many years, Uncle Lu is still as healthy as ever!"

Lu Cheng thumped his waist and said with a smile: "Time is not forgiving, we old guys are getting old, and the future depends on you young people!"

Wang Mang turned around: "Wu Xiang, has Uncle Lu's accommodation been arranged?"

Wu Xiang nodded slightly: "Young master, don't worry, it has been arranged long ago."

Wang Mang nodded, turned his head, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, you have been exhausted on this journey, you should take a rest first, and I will cleanse you up in the evening."

Lu Cheng nodded: "Okay, I haven't seen you for so many years, and I have a lot to say to you!"

Wang Mang smiled: "Then go and rest first."

As he spoke, Wang Mang waved his hand to Wu Xiang, who nodded, "Mr. Lu, please follow me."

Lu Cheng nodded with a smile and followed Wu Xiang away.

Wang Mang looked at Lu Cheng's back, he lowered his head slowly, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

……

The second hall of Difu.

Wang Mang sat beside the couch, looking at Zeng Tai quietly.

After a long time, Wang Mang breathed a sigh of relief.

Di Renjie walked in: "Jing Yang, how are you doing?"

Wang Mang smiled: "If there is no accident, you should be able to wake up tomorrow night."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Jing Yang, I really have troubled you this time."

Wang Mang shook his head: "My lord, if you say that, you will be offended."

"well!"

Di Renjie laughed loudly: "I won't say anything."

"Oh, by the way, where is Brother Yuanfang?"

Wang Mang raised his head and asked.

Di Renjie said, "I sent him to Yongchang County."

Wang Mang asked strangely, "To Yongchang?"

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes, why did Zeng Tai come to Shendu overnight, and what those people want from Zeng Tai is a mystery."

Wang Mang suddenly realized: "My lord, you want Brother Yuanfang to see if there are any clues in Yongchang!"

Di Renjie nodded solemnly.

Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie strangely, and asked, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Di Renjie heaved a long sigh: "You Weiwei's [-] troops were wiped out in Dongxia Stone Valley!"

Wang Mang shuddered and exclaimed, "What? The whole army was wiped out!"

Di Renjie nodded: "Generals Chen Kai and Wu Jing of You Weiwei were killed in battle. General Wang Xiaojie fled back to Chongzhou with a thousand remnants."

Wang Mang gasped.

Di Renjie turned around: "The day before yesterday, I received a Tang newspaper from Zhao Wenhuang, saying that he had successfully detoured behind the Khitan people through the Turks, and was going to launch a general attack with Wang Xiaojie who was in front, but today..."

Wang Mang asked: "What's going on? Didn't there have been good news a few days ago?"

Di Renjie didn't answer, and murmured: "This seems to be the last Tang newspaper!"

"What is the last Tang newspaper?"

Wang Mang asked strangely.

Di Renjie said: "The Tang newspaper only said that Wang Xiaojie's main force was lured into Dongxia Stone Valley by Li Jinzhong, and the whole army was wiped out, but the cause and effect are not clear."

Wang Mang frowned: "Could it be that those pond newspapers in front are fake?"

Di Renjie's eyes lit up: "Fake, fake?"

Wang Mang scratched his head in embarrassment: "My lord, I am not familiar with military affairs, so I am talking nonsense."

Di Renjie smiled: "Jingyang, you really awakened the dreamer with one word, but everything now is still reasoning."

Wang Mang took a deep breath: "Let's wait for the news ahead!"

Di Renjie nodded and looked at Zeng Tai: "Let's talk about everything when Zeng Tai wakes up!"

Wang Mang nodded.
