Yu Lie stared fixedly at Mordor with fear in his eyes. This tall and burly man with a dark complexion was truly ferocious. In just a short time, he had killed five of his men.
One must know that the soldiers under his command were all veterans on the battlefield. They were extremely powerful and didn't fear death. They had been tracking Di Zhixun all the way down south from Bingzhou while hiding their tracks. They never leaked any information from beginning to end, nor did they lose anyone. Even Yu Lie himself couldn't kill five people in the blink of an eye. Ordinary people didn't have this ability, but this big dark-skinned man was no ordinary person.
Holding his blade, Yu Lie turned to look at Du Qi and asked, "Who are you?"
Du Qi stood up and looked at Yu Lie, saying, "If I were you, I wouldn't ask. I would've turned and left immediately if the situation wasn't right. "
Yu Lie reacted at once. He really shouldn't have asked because the other party was obviously more powerful.
There was no point in fighting.
"Retreat!" Yu Lie ordered.
He turned and ran outside. Just as Yu Lie and the others were about to leave, however, a group of soldiers came out of the door. This group of soldiers was the men Mordor had arranged outside. They had surrounded Yu Lie's group after they entered the temple. On one hand, they blocked the door and cut off the escape route. On the other hand, they were to reinforce Mordor at any time and ensure Du Qi's safety.
Yu Lie and the others met this group of soldiers and were all killed in the blink of an eye.
Yu Lie himself was also killed.
Yu Lie fell to the ground with blood gushing out of the knife wound on his chest. A helpless look appeared in his eyes. This time, he had failed to kill Di Zhixun, and so had his mission. Especially since he didn't even know who had killed him. Therefore, Yu Lie felt really sad. The next moment, Yu Lie's neck tilted and no longer breathed.
Mordor waved his hand and the soldiers carried the corpses down to clean up the bloodstains in the ruined temple.
Di Zhixun was shocked to see this scene.
They were all dead.
His pursuers were all dead.
Before Di Zhixun could react, his son, Di Renjie, reacted first. Di Renjie pulled Di Zhixun's clothes from behind and whispered, "Father, that is the Emperor of Xia Xia. I heard from the storyteller that His Majesty, Emperor Xia Xia, had a personal bodyguard who had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot. He was tall and burly, different from ordinary people. It must be, it must be His Majesty. "
Di Zhixun understood as soon as he heard that. Especially when he thought of the group of soldiers who had just come in and killed people neatly, it was the style of the army.
It must be Emperor Xia Xia.
Di Zhixun's expression was solemn as he hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed, "Di Zhixun greets Emperor Xia."
Di Renjie and his mother also bowed.
Du Qi looked at Di Renjie and said with a smile, "There's no need to be so courteous. Di Zhixun, you're not as smart as your son! He should only be five or six years old, but he reacted first. "
Du Qi naturally knew who Di Renjie was.
He was a famous person, but the current Di Renjie was still a child. Even so, it could be seen that Di Renjie's intelligence was not something an ordinary child could compare to. He had displayed extraordinary talent and insight since a long time ago. At least Di Renjie's insight had surpassed Di Zhixun's. Even Di Zhixun had not reacted, but Di Renjie had.
Di Zhixun said, "Emperor Xia's praise is too much for my son."
Du Qi said, "Di Zhixun, I have more or less understood your situation in Bing Province. Now that you've arrived in Chang 'an, what are your plans? "
Di Zhixun said, "I've just arrived in Chang 'an, so I'll find a place to stay first. I'll think about other things later."
Du Qi said, "Di Zhixun, are you willing to work for me?"
Di Zhixun heard that and before he could make a decision, his son was already tugging at his clothes and nodding his head to indicate his agreement. However, Di Zhixun was also someone from a family of officials. He had his own opinions and thoughts, so he did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "Your Majesty, are you not worried that my family's journey south was arranged by Li Tai? What if Li Tai arranged for us to be hidden here? "
Du Qi joked, "If you, Di Zhixun, are willing to give up the lives of your entire family in order to be loyal to Li Tai, and even your son and wife are willing to give up their lives, I will accept it."
Di Zhixun smiled and said, "Your Majesty's insight is like a torch. I admire you."
As an official in Bing Province, he only did his own things. After Li Tai arrived in Bing Province, he was placed under Li Tai's command. After all, they were both from the Li Tang, so it was normal for him to be under Li Tai's control. However, in Bing Province, Li Tai acted without any scruples. He did not care about the lives of the common people, nor did he listen to advice. He was obstinate and obstinate.
Di Zhixun believed that Li Tai would not be able to hold on in Bing Province, so he chose to leave. Unfortunately, not long after he left, he was hunted down, so much so that some of his family members died on the way. The three of them only managed to reach Chang 'an after many twists and turns.
Di Zhixun hated Li Tai.
Du Qi asked again, "Di Zhixun, are you willing to serve me?"
"I am!"
Di Zhixun did not hesitate and directly answered. With a solemn expression, he cupped his hands and said, "Di Zhixun greets Your Majesty. I am willing to serve Your Majesty, and I will not hesitate to go through fire and water."
Du Qi said, "Sit down and talk."
"Yes!"
Di Zhixun brought his wife and son over and sat down beside the fire. Du Qi and Di Zhixun chatted, asking about the situation in the Northern Lands. While Du Qi and Di Zhixun were chatting, Di Renjie was a little tired. After all, he had been running around the whole day. He leaned against Di Zhixun's chest and fell asleep. His wife sat at the side and did not interrupt.
As Du Qi spoke, he suddenly looked at Di Renjie, who was already snoring, and said, "Di Zhixun, what arrangements do you have for your son, Di Renjie? He is very intelligent. How do you plan for him in the future? "
Di Zhixun said, "Your Majesty, my son is indeed very intelligent. He is already familiar with the classics and can memorize many books. Not only can he memorize many classics, but he also has his own understanding of them. After settling down in Chang 'an, I will find him a teacher so that he can continue to study and increase his knowledge. "
After a pause, Di Zhixun continued, "There are countless children with talent. However, there are very few who are truly talented and can achieve great things when they grow up. When he is young, it may not be good when he grows up. If you want him to continue, he must study hard. Only then can he succeed. "
Du Qi said, "That is indeed the case."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "As for Di Renjie's arrangement, I have an idea."
Di Zhixun said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "Di Renjie is intelligent, but his horizons have not been broadened. Moreover, if he only studies, it is far from enough. A person's achievements have a lot to do with his horizons. There are two very good universities in my Xia Xia. One is the University of Science and Technology, and the other is the Great Xia Military Academy. "
"My plan is to let Di Renjie go to the University of Science and Technology to broaden his horizons. Of course, during this period, he can still study and learn to read. He cannot stop. When he is older, send him to the Great Xia Military Academy and let him study there. "
"The dean of the Great Xia Military Academy is Li Jing, and there are some other famous people. In this way, Di Renjie has a great chance of becoming a talent in the future. Moreover, in the Military Academy, the students should be trained and restrained according to the military standards. It is also helpful for the growth of the child's habits and will not let him go astray. "
Du Qi asked, "Are you willing?"
After hearing this, Di Zhixun lowered his head and looked at the child who was already sleeping soundly. There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
His son was extremely sensible.
He was really smart.
Since he was young, he had never left Di Zhixun. He was always by Di Zhixun's side. According to Du Qi's arrangement, Di Zhixun might not be able to see Di Renjie for a long time.
