Chapter 269 Panicked Di Qing! (Here he comes!)

Although Zhang Heng was anxious to return to Beijing, he was not really in a hurry, especially after receiving various information from Beijing in Quanzhou. Instead, he was not anxious anymore and settled down in Quanzhou.

But he didn't have time to stay for a few days, so Di Qing hurried over.

Zhang Heng was a little surprised and said: "Shuai Di, are you going north?"

Di Qing looked very ugly and nodded: "Xiang Zhang, please return to Beijing immediately."

Zhang Heng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this: "What? Something big happened in Beijing? Has there been a change in the northwest?"

Di Qing looked very bitter and shook his head: "It's not the northwest, it's you and me who are in trouble!"

Zhang Heng laughed when he heard this: "Is it the rumor that Nong Zhigao bribed the two of us?"

Di Qing said bitterly: "You already know this, how can you still sit still!"

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "It's nothing. It's probably just some connection between Dingdu and the gang of insects. If they don't actively slander us, they will be close to losing their jobs. If we return with great achievements, they can't slander us.

Moreover, even if they are slandering, they have to be believed by the officials!"

Di Qing grabbed Zhang Heng's arm and said: "The Imperial City Division arrested a few of my men, saying they were assisting in the investigation, but looking at them, it was obvious that they were going to torture them to extract confessions!"

"What!"

Zhang Heng's expression changed drastically.

"The Imperial City Division arrested your general? When did it happen?"

Zhang Heng's expression changed for the first time.

He could calmly hear all kinds of rumors. Although they may not be groundless, rumors are rumors after all, and they are far from the truth. However, the intervention of the Imperial City Division illustrates a problem-Zhao Zhen said this

Things have become suspicious!

Di Qing stamped his feet and said: "On the second day after you left, people from the Imperial City Division broke into the military camp and forcibly took away several of the general's subordinates, saying they were taking them back to the capital to assist in the investigation! The general was afraid that something would happen to them.

, we can only catch up quickly, Mr. Zhang, you have many methods, can you help the general to release a few of his subordinates!"

Di Qing's face was frightened and bitter, and Zhang Heng even saw a trace of despair in his eyes.

Anger suddenly rose in Zhang Heng's heart - look at how these ruthless monarchs and ministers frightened a famous general like Di Qing!

Now Di Qing was as frightened as a lost dog.

Immediately, Zhang Heng also realized that the reason why Di Qing was like this was because Han Qi had beheaded Jiao Yong before for a trivial crime. It was precisely because of this experience that Di Qing was as frightened as a bird!

The anger in Zhang Heng's heart burned even more fiercely.

When the Song Dynasty wanted to fight, it had to rely on generals like Di Qing, but the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty domesticated these generals to become like this. When such generals go to the battlefield, are they still fierce generals who choose and devour others?

Zhang Heng thought about this and immediately said loudly: "Come back to the capital!"

The entire embassy immediately became busy.

Zhang Heng turned to look at Di Qing and said, "Shuai Di, are you coming to Beijing with me, or are you going back to Yongzhou to wait for news?"

Di Qing was a little lost and said: "As a guard general, I am afraid it is not appropriate to leave the station?"

Zhang Heng smiled warmly: "If you want to follow me back to Beijing, I will sign a transfer order for you."

Di Qing nodded fiercely: "Then I will return to Beijing with you!"

Zhang Heng nodded and was about to stride away when Di Qing suddenly said: "Xiang Zhang, you must save Zhao Gu and the others!"

Zhang Heng turned around and grinned: "Shuai Di, don't worry, as long as I'm here, they won't lose a hair!"

With that said, Zhang Heng strode away.

Di Qing stared blankly at Zhang Heng's back. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched Zhang Heng's figure into a long section, and also gave Zhang Heng a golden outline.

Di Qing's heart suddenly calmed down.

I don't know why, but Zhang Heng was obviously much younger than him, but he was full of trust in Zhang Heng, especially at this moment, Zhang Heng calmed down his panic with just a simple sentence.

When Zhang Heng walked out of the door, Tong Boding appeared like a shadow and whispered beside Zhang Heng: "Sanlang, are you in such a hurry to return to Beijing? Something big has happened?"

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "Well, the officials believed the slanderous rumor that Nong Zhigao bribed me and Di Qing. The Imperial City Department arrested several of Di Qing's generals. Now I have to return to the capital immediately to resolve the matter."

Hearing this, Tong Boding was shocked and said: "Sanlang, since the official dared to arrest Di Qing's generals, it means that he already believed in the matter. Otherwise, people like Di Qing were meritorious generals in the Southwest War and they should not have been treated like this.

But the Imperial City Department is so unscrupulous. Have the officials already come to a conclusion? Is it a little dangerous for you to return to Beijing now? "

Zhang Heng said: "The fact that Di Qing has not been touched means that the situation is not too bad, and this matter..."

Having said this, Zhang Heng shook his head, looked at the setting sun on the sea, and whispered: "...I hope the Zhao family will not force me, otherwise..."

He suddenly shouted: "...Let's go! Return to the capital!"

Zhang Heng strode towards the dock, and Tong Boding hurriedly followed. A large number of people poured out from everywhere to follow. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the fleet set sail.

The fleet was heading north, but many carriages were rushing towards the dock one after another, but they could not catch up.

Some people were left behind. Zhang Mazi caught them and asked, "Why did Mr. Zhang leave so quickly?"

The servant said: "How can a villain know what the adults are thinking? It's probably something urgent."

Zhang Mazi had no choice but to let go of his servant, thought for a moment, and said to his entourage: "Let's enter the capital too!"

The ship's sails were fully set, causing waves several meters high.

The sea breeze hit Zhang Heng's face, and he could clearly smell the ocean. The sunset on the sea was so beautiful that it was intoxicating, but Zhang Heng had no intention of watching it. His brows were furrowed, thinking about something on his mind.

The fleet was moving forward, and time was passing. When I looked up again, the sky was already dark, with a few lonely stars in the sky. A poem suddenly appeared in Zhang Heng's mind:

After all the hardships have been encountered, only the stars around are scattered in the fighting.

This is Wen Tianxiang's "Crossing the Lingding Ocean", which is the original work of the sentence "Since ancient times, no one has died, so his loyalty will shine through history".

This poem does not have much to do with the scene in front of him. The sea here is not Lingding Ocean, and Zhang Heng is not as terrified as Wen Tianxiang when facing the broken mountains and rivers. However, this poem appears so suddenly in the scene.

In Zhang Heng's mind.

Zhang Heng was a little stunned for a moment, but he has always been good at picking up every thought in his heart. It only took him a moment to find out the reason for this thought:

——What Zhao Zhen did this time is already the act of a subjugated king!

Di Qing and his generals are obviously meritorious officials, but they have to suffer such humiliation and intimidation. Who in the army will be willing to contribute to the imperial court in the future?

And he did not hesitate to go deep into the wilderness to plan for the imperial court, but in the end he was suspected by Zhao Zhen. Anyone else would be disheartened, right?

In this way, it is natural for him to have feelings of national subjugation in his heart.

This Zhao Zhen looks nothing like a human king!
