"If Master Di is still untrustworthy, then there will be no good people left in the court."
Yang Fan bowed deeply and said, "My knowledge is shallow. I will follow your arrangements!"
Di Renjie nodded. Yang Fan was his son's good friend and had saved his life, so Di Renjie had always been close to him. Now that he knew that they were like-minded, he became even more friendly. He simply asked Yang Fan about how he obtained the evidence, and when he heard about the cesarean section, he couldn't help but be moved.
After sighing, Di Renjie said, "Nephew has done very well and is very meticulous. Since that Miss Duoduo said that she asked the yamen runners from the Ministry of Justice about my residence yesterday and they could not catch me, it is inevitable that they would arrange people outside my house. You should sneak in through the forest and leave through the forest. "
Yang Fan said, "Nephew has the same intention! Nephew still has some things to arrange and will leave these things to Uncle. Nephew will take his leave! "
Di Renjie nodded in agreement and watched as Yang Fan left. He called out, "Ah Sheng!"
Shu Asheng answered and entered. Di Renjie said, "Keep this bag carefully!"
Shu Asheng walked over to organize the bag and Di Renjie walked back to the study. Now that he knew that the real mastermind behind Blacktooth Chang Zhi was Wu Chengsi, it was easy to handle. He only needed to subtly reveal this information to Wu Sansi and he would jump out to cause trouble for Wu Chengsi.
However, Empress Wu's ascension to the throne was currently the most important matter in the Imperial Court. Everything else had to give way to this matter. Now that they had presented the evidence of their crimes, Empress Wu would definitely reduce the matter to a small one for the sake of stability. Similarly, the battle between Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi would not be too intense. They would definitely work together to ensure that Empress Wu ascended to the throne.
He had to ensure that Longyou's military power did not fall into Wu Chengsi's hands and he had to rely on other forces such as Princess Taiping and … Shen Mu.
When Di Renjie walked into the study, he saw Shen Mu sitting there eating hot cheese. The beautiful little girl with bright eyes and white teeth snuggled up to his side, smiling sweetly as she said something. The two of them looked extremely intimate. Di Renjie coughed and walked in.
Lady Chan Juan had a pretty appearance. Even though she was dressed as a maid and did not dress up too much, it could not hide her extraordinary beauty. It was said that she was originally a famous courtesan in Chang 'an. Later on, she was bought by Shen Mu and sent to his side to serve him as a maid. Di Renjie only vaguely knew about it and did not inquire about it in detail. He also knew that this Lady Chan Juan was the person that Shen Mu had left by his side to be in charge of contacting and communicating with. He had never really treated her as his maidservant.
"Ah Lang!"
Seeing Di Renjie come in, Chan Juan hurriedly curtsied.
Di Renjie said, "Okay, go out for a while and guard the door. I have something to discuss with Shen Mu!"
"Yes!"
Chan Juan's pair of beautiful eyes looked at Shen Mu's face and then she retreated.
Shen Mu put down the small porcelain bowl and stood up. "Master Di."
Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Sit down. I have something to discuss with you."
After the time it takes for a joss stick to burn, the study room quietened down. Di Renjie sat behind the desk, stroking his beard and frowning slightly. Shen Mu sat beside him and his eyes were in a daze.
After a long time, Shen Mu slowly said, "If you want to ensure that you do not lose your military power, I will encourage Young Master Jiang to take action in the imperial court and let some ministers support you. Of course, it will still depend on you, Master Di. As for me, I can think of a way to create a conflict at the River Source. In this way, Lou Shide, the Deputy Envoy, will temporarily take over the position of Ambassador and command the three armies. Once General Lou temporarily takes over Hei Chi Chang Zhi's military position and has made military achievements, it will not be easy to remove him from the position of Ambassador. In addition to the efforts of the imperial court … Heh! I'm afraid Wu Chengsi's efforts will be in vain! "
Di Renjie frowned and said, "You want to create a conflict? Won't there be casualties? "
Shen Mu sneered. "Master Di, do you have a foolproof plan? The Tubo and Turkic Khaganate will invade the borders whenever they have the chance. Do you think they will not launch another attack on Longyou after knowing that their archenemy Hei Chi Chang Zhi is dead? If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid they are already planning to cooperate! Provoking a conflict in advance and winning a great battle will only bring benefits to the Tang dynasty. If you want to achieve great things, don't bother about trifles. If you are such a soft-hearted person who wants perfection in everything, why don't you shave your hair and become a monk who doesn't care about anything. When blood flows like a river outside, you only need to chant 'Amitabha' twice and your conscience will be at ease. "
Di Renjie heaved a sigh.
Shen Mu continued, "If we wait until they have completed their plan and are fully prepared, the two sides will join forces and attack again. If the imperial court were to send a muddle-headed and incompetent general, that would truly be the end of the trend. At that time, I'm afraid the losses would be more than ten times what we have now!"
Di Renjie gritted his teeth and nodded heavily. He said in a deep voice, "Alright! Go and do it! We will coordinate from the inside and outside to ensure that Longyou's military power does not fall into the hands of the Wu family! "
Shen Mu said, "Alright! I will arrange it immediately. I have almost settled the matters in Luoyang. In a few days, I will personally go to Longyou! "
Di Renjie asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Shen Mu said, "Master Di, how much do you think I will have to pay to provoke a conflict, restrain the Turkic Khaganate, prevent the conflict from expanding, and ensure that Lou Shide's side wins? I don't know how many of the arrangements I have made in Longyou will be destroyed because of this battle! How can I not go? "
…
Yang Fan left the Di residence and wandered around the city for a while. After making sure that no one was following him, he went to Nan City.
At this time, Nan City had just opened for business. Yang Fan casually ate something in the shop and went to buy a set of casual clothes to change into. He then bought a wheelbarrow. He bought a few sets of women's clothes and some daily necessities. He also bought some rice, flour, oil, and salt. He thought that Duoduo might be able to endure not eating for a day, but it would be troublesome for the child, so he bought a lot of high-quality charcoal.
In the end, Yang Fan chose a milk goat. Other than the goat, the rest of the things were placed on the wheelbarrow. He turned into Yanfu Workshop like a hawker on the street. Yang Fan wandered around the workshop casually and arrived at the side door of his house. While there was no one around, he opened the corner door and entered the courtyard.
Yang Fan sent food and clothes to Duoduo. Seeing that the child was crying from hunger, he quickly asked Duoduo to milk some goat's milk. He then lit some high-quality charcoal that did not like to emit smoke. Duoduo was a woman from the border, so she was very skilled at milking cows. After a while, she squeezed out a bowl of goat's milk and boiled it in the charcoal pot. After warming it up, she fed it to the extremely hungry Xiao Qi.
The little guy finally had a mouthful of milk, so how could he be picky? He swallowed it in big mouthfuls and enjoyed it very much. The little guy was simple-minded and sensible. After eating his fill, he stopped crying and closed his eyes to sleep. Yang Fan looked at the relieved Duoduo and said to her, "Alright, you should eat something too. You've been hungry for a long time."
"Okay!"
Duoduo agreed, but she did not leave. Suddenly, her beautiful big eyes flashed as she looked at Yang Fan.
Yang Fan asked, "What's the matter? Is there anything else?"
Duoduo stammered, "That matter …"
Yang Fan said, "Oh, I've already handed it over to an official. It's just that the people who framed Blacktooth General Chang Zhi are now in hot demand. They can't make a move now. They have to wait for two hours."
"Oh …"
Duoduo's eyes darkened and she was slightly disappointed.
Seeing that she was still not leaving, Yang Fan asked again, "What else is there?"
Duoduo bit her lip and asked again, "What about me and the young master?"
Yang Fan said, "You can live here in peace. No one will disturb you. One day, the injustice of Blacktooth General Chang Zhi will be cleared, and his young master will also be rewarded by the imperial court. "
Duoduo wanted to say something but hesitated. She said timidly, "Then … I'm going to eat."
Yang Fan nodded and watched her walk out. He then lowered his head to look at the child sleeping soundly and let out a soft sigh.
In the evening, Yang Fan rushed back to the palace. He thought that he was the last one to return, but when he arrived at the Black Tortoise Gate, he found out that there were still more than ten Hundred Cavalry Guards who had yet to report back. It seemed that the position of Brigade Commander was really attractive.
Wu Youyi was very annoyed. Ever since the internal guards found nothing at the rented place of the two Turkic women, they had completely lost all news of them. The people he sent to the outskirts of Di Renjie's mansion also did not find any news of the two Turkic women. In the afternoon, Di Renjie actually leisurely went out to the 'Golden Hairpin Drunkenness' to entertain Princess Taiping and several Prime Ministers. It seemed that he knew nothing about this matter.
Now that the internal guards and the Hundred Cavalry Guards had returned one after another, there was still no trace of the two women. Could they still fly to the sky?
Because he was in a bad mood, Wu Youyi did not speak too warmly to Yang Fan, who was his' little uncle '. He asked a few simple questions and let him go back to rest. Wu Youyi continued to wait for news on the city gate tower.
Yang Fan returned to the dormitory, took a bath and changed his clothes. He went to have dinner and continued to exercise in the Jia City area to relax. When the sky turned dark, he wanted to go back to rest. He had been busy all night yesterday and had not slept yet.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to the front of the barracks, he saw Xie Xiaoman waiting for him there. In the early morning, Xie Xiaoman pretended to find something and ran away to distract the two imperial guards who were searching for him. She acted as a cover for him. It was not until now that they met again.
Xie Xiaoman didn't say anything. She only glanced sideways with her big, expressive eyes, and Yang Fan followed her away.
"Come, sit down. I have something to talk to you!" As Xie Xiaoman spoke, she sat down on one of the stone dumbbells in the martial arts arena. Perhaps it was because the two of them knew each other's secrets, but the way she spoke and the way she spoke became even more intimate.
Yang Fan stretched out his leg and hooked a stone dumbbell in front of him. He also sat down naturally.
This stone dumbbell weighed a hundred and twenty kilograms. It was the heaviest stone dumbbell in the entire Martial Arts Practice Field. With a light hook of his foot, he lifted it as if it was weightless. Xie Xiaoman's pupils shrank as she saw this.
