Chapter 204 Song Wuji Speaks

At three o'clock in the morning, many rooms in the governor's mansion were still brightly lit.

Li Yuanfang and Zhao Ji were not at home. Di Renjie and Zeng Tai personally guarded Zong Huaichang's bed. There were bright lights everywhere in the house and many guards were stationed outside.

A team of Qianniu Guards were patrolling in the Governor's Mansion. An assassination incident had just happened and the atmosphere in the Mansion was very tense.

Suddenly, a man in black flashed past Qianniuwei's eyes.

The captain of the Qianniu Guard immediately drew his sword and shouted, "Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"

Di Renjie in Zong Huaichang's room suddenly woke up and told Zeng Tai: "Zeng Tai, keep an eye on Zong Huaichang. I'll go out and take a look."

There was a commotion outside the door, and the figures of Qianniu Guards were everywhere.

Di Renjie pushed open the door and saw Wang Tiehan with disheveled clothes, wearing only an outer robe, holding a steel knife, and rushing out of the room with a panicked look on his face.

But after all the commotion, no one actually saw the assassin.

Di Chun arrived late, trotting to Di Renjie's side, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Master, are you okay?"

Di Renjie shook his head and did not answer.

Wang Tiehan put away his steel knife, followed Di Renjie closely, and respectfully called him "Marshal".

Di Renjie glanced at Di Chun covertly, and then obviously looked up and down at Wang Tiehan's appearance. His clothes were untidy, but his shoes were neatly worn.

He asked casually, "Hey, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

Wang Tiehan also glanced at his clothes and smiled awkwardly: "I fell asleep, and then I heard about catching an assassin, so I got up from the bed again."

"The weather is cold, you should go back soon." Di Renjie spoke with concern and waved gently.

Wang Tiehan looked a little reluctant, but he finally bowed and retreated.

When Wang Tiehan returned to the room, Zhang Huan walked to Di Renjie and reported in a low voice: "Sir, a man in black just disappeared near the room where Wang Tiehan lives."

Upon hearing this, Di Renjie's face turned grim, and he immediately ordered, "Don't make this public. Find a few people to keep an eye on Wang Tiehan day and night!"

"Yes!" Zhang Huan agreed with a bow.

Di Chun lowered his head and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Di Chun, you should also go to bed early. I still have to wait for news from Yuan Fang, Cheng Yuan and others." Di Renjie sent Di Chun away again.

When Di Chun's back disappeared, Di Renjie's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, and he shook his head and said, "You really put a lot of effort into it!"

Not long after, Zhao Ji and Li Yuanfang brought their men back to the governor's mansion.

The two of them came to Di Renjie together, but what was quite unusual was that there was a Qianniu Guard following closely behind them.

Di Renjie's eyes naturally fell on this uninvited guest, and a hint of curiosity flashed across his brows: "Who is he?"

Zhao Ji smiled and explained, "He is the general of the front camp of the Right Guard, Song Wuji. There are spies in the governor's mansion, and in order to ensure safety, this is the last resort."

"I am the guilty general Song Wuji, and I kowtow to the commander-in-chief!" Upon hearing this, Song Wuji knelt hurriedly with an extremely sincere attitude.

Di Renjie couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He waved his hand to signal Song Wuji to stand up, and then changed the subject: "Where is Su Honghui now?"

Zhao Ji and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, then opened their mouths and told Di Renjie everything that had happened before in detail.

After listening to the report, Di Renjie was silent for a moment with a complicated expression.

Song Wuji was anxious and said quickly: "General, I have participated in all the things that Su Honghui participated in. I also know his subordinates in the army. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

This guy is very cunning and refused to tell anyone that Su Honghui was online.

"Don't play those little tricks, get to the point!" Zhao Ji urged. Song Wuji nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes! Yes! The story started a few years ago. At that time, under the introduction of Su Honghui, I joined a secret group called Snake Spirit."

"Snake Spirit?" Di Renjie frowned. As soon as he heard the name, he felt that things were not simple.

Song Wuji continued, "That's right. Since then, I have been working under Su Honghui. This trip to Pingzhou is also for the Snake Spirit's plan, to cooperate with the Khitans and destroy Wang Xiaojie's army."

Zhao Ji sneered and said, "So, General Wang is indeed wrongly accused?"

Song Wuji nodded and said, "Yes, in the battle of Dongxiashi Valley, General Wang and General Yan were about to win. It was only because Su Honghui ordered me to lead the troops to flee that General Wang was surrounded due to being outnumbered."

"But what we didn't expect was that after the defeat, General Wang actually broke out. At that time, Su Honghui was very panicked, because Wang Xiaojie would definitely not let him off if he came back."

"The higher-ups had no choice but to come up with this plan. By confusing right and wrong, Wang Xiaojie will fall into the hands of the Khitans and will be unable to confront them. Su Honghui and Qiu Jing will naturally be absolved of their guilt."

"It just happened that I ran into General Zhao, and things went a little wrong..."

Di Renjie's eyes flashed with sternness: "Where is General Wang? How is General Wang?"

Song Wuji replied, "He is still alive. Lieutenant General Sun is one of our men. He provoked Wang Xiaojie to leave the city, but he was ambushed by the Khitans. However, the Khitans only captured him. I was right beside him at the time."

Di Renjie, Zhao Ji and Li Yuanfang all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. It was good enough as long as the person was still alive.

"What are your subsequent plans?" Zhao Ji asked coldly.

Song Wuji looked embarrassed: "This, this is not something I can know. Su Honghui doesn't seem to know the next plan either. He only said that the organization asked him and Qiu Jing to try their best to gain the Marshal's trust."

"I think it's nothing more than trying to trip up our army like they did in Dongxishigu, or secretly opening the gates of Pingzhou like they did before."

Zhao Ji was obviously not satisfied with the answer and asked, "That's all?"

Song Wuji was anxious and swallowed his saliva: "I really don't know. Oh, by the way, I also heard Su Honghui mention that the Turks will also participate in this battle, and there will be big changes over there soon."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said slowly: "Turkic... Jili Khan..."

"Do you have anything else to say?" Di Renjie asked again.

Song Wuji really wanted to make a contribution: "List! I know the list of She Ling's spies in the Youwei Army."

Zhao Ji was amused by Song Wuji again: "What else is there besides the list?"

Song Wuji shook his head in dismay, and said carefully: "Well, this is all the important things I think. If the commander-in-chief and the governor have anything else to ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Zhao Ji smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, I promised to spare your life, and I will keep my promise. I won't let you die in vain."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, thank you, Marshal." Song Wuji bowed down again and kowtowed hurriedly.

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "No need to do that. I'll ask someone to bring paper and pen, and you can write the list here."

"Yes, yes!" Song Wuji agreed quickly.
-
Shadow was lying quietly on the bed at this moment, recalling what had happened throughout the day under the face of Di Chun.

He felt that he had done everything he could, including assassinating Zong Huaichang, silencing Su Honghui, and even shifting the blame to someone else for the sake of his own identity.

Judging from the tone of Zhao Ji and Deputy General Sha, it seems that the organization has been exposed to some extent, but it is not clear to what extent.

The slander against Wang Xiaojie can probably no longer be concealed. If necessary, Qiu Jing must also be eliminated!

The next task is to protect this identity, stay hidden, and wait for the eldest sister and the Turks and Khitans to help.

The situation seemed unfavorable, but Shadow's heart was very calm and he soon fell asleep peacefully.

"Anyone can be a sacrifice... a sacrifice for the ultimate plan."
