The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding
Chapter 199 General Wu has 3 days to think, goodbye
Changlin Lord's Mansion.
Although it was late at night, Zhao Changlin still couldn't fall asleep. He sat upright at the table, leaning on the chair, and rubbed his temples with his hand.
dong dong dong...
There was a knock on the door, and a guard's voice sounded a little anxious, saying: "Reporting to Lord Changlin, we are responsible for monitoring Lord Zhenguo, and we found that he went to the general's mansion in person half an hour ago."
"What? Ye Feng went to the General's Mansion in person?"
Zhao Changlin's expression changed slightly when he heard that. He stood up and opened the door. The guard outside was one of the people he had arranged to follow Ye Feng.
"Yes! When I came to report, I saw Ye Feng still standing outside the general's mansion. We didn't dare to get close. I guess General Wu didn't want to see Ye Feng." The guard quickly reported: "But later Ye Feng handed a letter to the guard of the general's mansion, and the guard turned around and went back to the mansion."
"You guys continue to keep an eye on them and see if Ye Feng and Wu Jie meet and how long they talk." Zhao Changlin frowned, especially when he heard Ye Feng handing a letter to the guard, his expression changed obviously.
"Subordinates resign!"
The person who brought the news did not dare to stay and hurriedly walked out of Changlin Jun's mansion to continue his surveillance mission.
"Wu Jie, Wu Jie, please don't let me down!"
After the messenger left, Zhao Changlin raised his head and looked towards the general's mansion not far away.
……
In the general's mansion.
Wu Jie stood up and sat by the window, looking outside the mansion. He felt quite complicated. He knew very well what Zhao Changlin was thinking, that he was plotting to usurp the throne and change the dynasty.
He offended Emperor Xuan of Song and was castrated. He was hopeless and wanted to die in prison. Later, he learned that his wife was in the residence of Lord Changlin. He disfigured himself and came to Changlin County. He has been helping Zhao Changlin manage and train the Changlin Army, and Zhao Changlin also treated him with courtesy.
On the bed not far away, there was a gray-haired woman lying with regular features. She must have been a great beauty when she was young.
She was Wu Jie's wife Rong Li, and the two grew up together. No matter when Wu Jie was in a high position or when he was castrated, she had always been by his side, and was Wu Jie's virtuous wife.
"Husband, are you worried about something? You seem restless in the past two days." Rong Li walked to Wu Jie in her nightgown and asked softly.
"Madam, I believe you also know that the court sent Zhenguojun to tour the country. He is now outside the mansion and wants to meet me. If my guess is correct, this Zhenguojun should want me to submit to the court and not follow Zhao Changlin to rebel." Wu Jie's eyes flashed, and he said to Rong Li.
Hearing this, Rong Li smiled faintly and patted Wu Jie's shoulder gently: "I have also heard a lot about this state guardian. In the few months since he came to the Song Dynasty, it can be said that he has brought about earth-shaking changes to the entire Song Dynasty. I heard that General Yue Teng was rehabilitated and reinstated."
At this point, Rong Li frowned slightly, and she walked to a place not far away. She looked outside and confirmed that there was no one. Then she said, "Zhao Changlin is ruthless. With his cunning and means, if he succeeds in usurping the throne in the future, he will kill his running dogs. You know that he has done so many shameful things, so you will definitely be the first person he wants to get rid of. Besides, this state guardian is a man of great talent and strategy. In my opinion, the chances of Zhao Changlin's rebellion being successful are not high."
"My husband came to Zhao Changlin for me. With your strategy and talent, you will surely dominate the battlefield. Haven't you always wanted to be a famous general in the restoration of the country? You want to be remembered in history. Now you have such an opportunity. I don't want you to be depressed all your life because of me."
Rong Li looked guilty. If she had not been brought to Yunshui City by Zhao Changlin, with Wu Jie's character, he would rather stand and be beheaded by Emperor Xuan of Song than destroy his own face and live in disgrace. For so many years, Wu Jie had followed Zhao Changlin, but she could see that he was not happy at all.
"Alas... Madam, Zhao Changlin has indeed treated us well over the years." Wu Jie couldn't help but sigh and said slowly.
"Humph! If he really treated us well, he wouldn't have planted so many spies in the general's mansion." Rong Li knew very well that Zhao Changlin didn't completely trust Wu Jie. As the saying goes, trust a man if you employ him, and don't employ a man if you don't trust him. Both she and her husband have been following Zhao Changlin for nearly 20 years, but he still planted all kinds of spies to watch their every move.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside, saying, "Master, the King of Zhenguo did not leave, but asked me to bring you a letter."
"Letter? What letter?" Wu Jie's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help shaking his head. This state king was young, but his methods were not simple. Now Ye Feng sent him a letter. No matter what was in the letter, Zhao Changlin would probably be suspicious. He could only take a deep breath, open the door, and said, "Let me see it!"
Wu Jie opened the letter with an ugly look on his face. It was not a letter at all, just a piece of white paper without any content. This king who guards the country just wanted Zhao Changlin to be suspicious of him!
In the current situation, if he doesn't meet Ye Feng, Zhao Changlin will only become more suspicious. What kind of shameful dealings are going on between him and Ye Feng that make it so mysterious?
"Please ask the King of Zhenguo to come to the study!"
Wu Jie said to the guards.
The guard's eyes were also shining. He was also one of Zhao Changlin's spies in the general's mansion. On the way here just now, he secretly opened the letter, but he didn't expect it to be a blank paper. Seeing Wu Jie's expression change at this moment, he was secretly surprised in his heart. It must be a secret message between Ye Feng and Wu Jie that they didn't want others to know.
"As ordered!"
The guard turned and left. Wu Jie handed the letter to Rong Li and said with a wry smile, "This state ruler is so young, but he is so good at using tricks and political tactics. A letter like this, which makes people more suspicious."
"My dear husband, I will go with you to the study to meet the king who guards the country!"
Rong Li handed the robe to Wu Jie, and after they were dressed, they walked towards the study.
……
After Ye Feng arrived at the study, he saw Wu Jie and said without beating around the bush: "General Wu, I never like beating around the bush. Now I am in charge of the Song Dynasty for His Majesty the Emperor. All traitors and rebels will only have one fate, and that is death without a burial place."
"If you insist on following Zhao Changlin, I have nothing to say. Of course, if Zhao Changlin still trusts you and values you after you meet me tonight, then it would be reasonable for you to work for him. Unfortunately, I guess he won't trust you easily next time."
"I thought General Wu had followed Zhao Changlin for nearly twenty years, even disfiguring himself and hiding his real name. But after I entered the general's mansion, I found that there were spies everywhere. It seems that he never trusted the general!"
At this point, Ye Feng turned around and did not wait for Wu Jie to express his opinion. He said, "I will stay in Yunshui City for three days. You also have three days to think about it. If you are willing to submit to the court, you only need to show up once on the wall of Yunshui City when I leave. That will be enough."
"Farewell!"
Ye Feng finished speaking and walked out of the study without giving Wu Jie a chance to speak. The shorter the time he met with Wu Jie, the more suspicious Zhao Changlin would become.
