Upon hearing the news, countless questions and puzzles suddenly emerged in Zhu Li's mind.
"Yes, sir. When I got the news that Shi Jingsi had deceived Madam Yuchi, I immediately followed this clue and found that she had been staying in the Shatuo army camp since she was deceived. Then, she followed Shi Jingsi and others into Bianzhou."
"I did not dare to slack off and continued the investigation. I found out that Zhu Wen plotted against Li Keyong and the fire in Junyi County. Li Keyong lost four generals and more than 300 soldiers in the fire at Shangyuan Posthouse. It was at that time that Shi Jingsi was beheaded by Pang Shigu, the general of Bianzhou." Jing Ming did not dare to hide anything and reported every detail.
It turned out that the inertia of history did not allow Li Keyong and Zhu Wen, the old enemies, to avoid this conflict. However, he had no time to care about this. What he wanted to know most now was what happened to Yuchi Jin, where she was, why she suddenly disappeared, etc.
As soon as Jing Ming finished speaking, Zhu Li continued to ask: "Four people? Besides Shi Jingsi, who else is there?"
The purpose of asking this question was not that Zhu Li was concerned about which generals of Li Keyong had died, but whether Yuchi Jin, or Xie Tian and Xie Di were among the dead.
"In addition to Shi Jingsi, there are also Li Keyong's general Zhu Xie Pu Gu, veteran general Li Jinzhong, and special general Guo Jingzhu. In addition, I have secretly investigated many Bianzhou guards who participated in the Shangyuan incident. I learned that on that night, a double-axe general, a double-hammer general, and a broadsword general appeared in the Shangyuan battle."
"According to the descriptions of those people, I have determined that these three people are Madam Yuchi and her servants, but, but..." Having said this, Jing Ming hesitated to speak, as if even he did not believe the results of his investigation.
"But what?" Zhu Li knew Jing Ming's personality very well. He would report truthfully whatever he had investigated, never hiding anything. Even if he was punished for it, he would still speak frankly.
In fact, Zhu Li never punished him.
Now the other party suddenly became evasive and very unusual in his speech, which naturally made Zhu Li feel strange.
"However, the three ladies, together with the generals from Hedong, seemed to have protected Li Keyong and escaped from Junyi County. Zhu Wen sent people to chase them all the way to the vicinity of Luoyang, but Zhu Wen had no choice but to give up." Jing Ming had a complicated expression. Although he did not believe this fact, he did not dare to lie. The information he received was indeed like this.
There are very few generals who can use double axes or double hammers. So far, in this era, Zhu Li has only seen Xie Tian and Xie Di. Coincidentally, these two people are followed by a general who uses a broadsword. It is clear that these three people are Yuchi Jin and his servants.
Although their identities were correct, what they did was wrong, extremely wrong, and even Zhu Li could not accept or believe it.
Why did Yuchi Jin and Li Keyong's men protect Li Keyong together? The fact that his beloved, together with his family soldiers, stepped forward to protect his enemy's safety at the moment of crisis was simply too absurd. How could Zhu Li believe it
Doesn’t Yuchi Jin know that Li Keyong almost killed Zhu Li in Chang’an
Doesn't she know that Li Guochang died indirectly at the hands of Zhu Li
She knew all of this, and should have known it very well, but why did the three of them, the master and the servant, protect Li Keyong and flee to the river
What about Dong
The key point is the fact that he was protecting Li Keyong, which made Zhu Li feel absurd and mentally ill, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Why did Yuchi Jin do this? Has she changed her heart
Zhu Li would not believe it, but if that was not the case, why would she protect Li Keyong
Because of the broken heart in his previous life, he once experienced the feeling of being a walking corpse. When he came to the end of the Tang Dynasty, even in the face of Yuchi Jin's obvious expression, he did not dare to make a promise easily.
Just when Zhu Li was finally planning to come out of the haze and accept this extraordinary woman whom he had a fondness for, and promised her that they would get engaged when he returned to Shuozhou, the woman who had teased him and even made him pour out his feelings for her did something that he could not accept.
First he left quietly, and then helped his enemy escape from disaster. Even if Zhu Li had a big heart, it was impossible that he didn't feel anything at all.
"Are you sure that the three of them were protecting Li Keyong and escaping to Hedong?" Zhu Li looked at Jing Ming with cold eyes.
There was something strange and incomprehensible about the situation. If Jing Ming wasn't lying, then something must have changed in Yuchi Jin's mind. Zhu Li didn't think about anything else now.
"Sir, I guarantee with my life that everything I said today is true."
"When I first received this news, I didn't believe it. I went there in person and even resorted to private punishment. I tortured the palace guards separately, but this is the answer they gave?" Jing Ming assured hurriedly, bowing and saying solemnly.
"What did they say?" Zhu Li still couldn't believe this was true. He hoped that Jing Ming had misunderstood him. He wanted to hear the original words.
"They all pointed out that the double-axe general, the double-hammer general, and the broadsword general fought desperately to protect Li Keyong and helped him escape from the encirclement, all the way to the west."
"Zhu Wen sent several groups of troops to chase and intercept them, and watched them flee all the way back to the Hedong army before giving up the pursuit." Jing Ming did not dare to be careless about this matter. He tortured Zhu Li in private, risking being punished by Zhu Li. Although he found the information he obtained from the torture incredible, given his loyalty, he would never lie to Zhu Li.
During the Shangyuan incident, Yuchi Jin had no choice but to stick together with Li Keyong and others, but in the eyes of the Bianzhou army, these people were all in the same group.
The only people arrested and interrogated by Jing Ming were the Bianzhou guards. No wonder he got such intelligence.
Zhu Li closed his eyes slightly, trying hard to suppress the violent anger in his heart, and said without any emotion: "Send someone to Hedong, no matter what method you use, contact her and ask her for me, 'Why'?"
Jing Ming was stunned when he heard this, but he did not dare to be negligent, and quickly bowed and said: "Yes"
Even if Zhu Li didn't say it, he would have done it, and he had done it early in the morning. It's just that those who set out first didn't have the task of delivering the message.
"Also, let Han Zhi come to see me." Zhu Li continued to instruct indifferently.
"Yes." Looking at Zhu Li, who was a little abnormally calm, Jing Ming felt that the general at this moment was not a person, but a volcano that could erupt at any time. When he thought of the consequences of Zhu Li's eruption, he felt a little chilly and naturally did not dare to say a word.
Jing Ming turned and left. Just as Jing Ming's figure disappeared through the garden archway, Zhu Li punched the stone table in the pavilion.
With a loud "crack", the huge stone table broke into pieces in an instant, and the broken stones scattered all over the ground in an instant.
"Why was it like this in my previous life and why is it like this again in this life?" Zhu Li arched his waist in pain, and suddenly let out a "wow" and spat out a mouthful of blood.
In his previous life, Zhu Li was born in the countryside. Faced with all kinds of charming women, he never dared to express his feelings even if he had someone he liked. In a word, he was a little inferior due to his personality. Not everyone is like this.
And just during that youth when he envied others who were in couples, a girl broke into his life, and then he fell in love. He gave her all his heart, but in the end he was dumped.
In this era, what Yuchi Jin did was somewhat similar to that girl, so Zhu Li was muttering like that. He really wanted to look up to the sky and ask, why, why are all the women he meets so irresponsible
However, there are still many doubts about Yuchi Jin. Until the truth comes out, as long as Yuchi Jin doesn't break up with him in person, he still has a trace of obsession.
If Yuchi Jin told him in person that they wanted to break up, Zhu Li would definitely not insist, just like his personality.
If you come, I will look at you with all my heart; if you leave, I will never look back, no matter how much pain I have to endure.
Zhu Li hoped it was a misunderstanding. Now, he could only pray secretly. If it was a misunderstanding, after this time, he would never let Xie Tian and Xie Di, those two bastards, continue to stay by Yuchi Jin's side. He swore secretly in his heart.
If it wasn't a misunderstanding, there would be no future. Whoever wants to worry about it can worry about it.
Soon, Han Zhi hurried over. Seeing the gravel all over the ground, his expression changed slightly, and then he pretended that he saw nothing, and said with a folded hand: "General, I am here."
Zhu Li heard this, but did not turn around, nor did he explain. He was silent for a long time before he said, "How do you plan to deal with Liu Zhijun?"
As for Liu Zhijun who had surrendered to Han Zhi, Han Zhi originally wanted to appoint him to govern Suyu, which was an important town between Xuzhou and Sizhou. It must be guarded by a general to prevent anyone in Sizhou from doing anything wrong.
But she was suppressed by Zhu Li. Han Zhi didn't know Liu Zhijun, but Zhu Li knew that he was a capable man but also a pitiful one.
Perhaps it was because Shi Pu had once left such a huge shadow on him, so once he gained power in history, he was unwilling to be inferior to others.
According to historical records, Liu Zhijun defected to Zhu Wen after Shi Pu's defeat. After he became the governor of Tongzhou, he heard that someone had said bad things about him in front of Zhu Wen. To prevent any accidents, he rebelled in Tongzhou and captured Liu Han, a general under Zhu Wen alive. When Liu attacked him, he and his entire family defected to Li Maozhen.
Unfortunately, the world is so big that there are villains everywhere, including Li Maozhen's subordinates. Many people were jealous of Liu Zhijun's talent and said bad things about him in front of Li Maozhen. When he got the news, he was afraid that Li Maozhen would harm him, so he turned to Wang Jian.
It can be said that Liu Zhijun's life was full of sadness and instability. Were there no villains around Wang Jian of Former Shu? Of course there were. In the end, Liu Zhijun died due to jealousy and frame-up, and was ordered to be beheaded by Wang Jian.
Since Zhu Li agreed to the other party's surrender and planned to use him, he naturally had to think carefully about how to use him. Isn't Liu Zhijun afraid of jealousy? Then take him to Yunshuo.
