Chapter 274: Secret Spy of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu Cheng Has Rebelled?
I saw that a team of secret agents from Xiqi had already gathered outside a tavern. It seemed that they wanted to enter the tavern, but the soldiers guarding the gate did not let them in at all.
These hidden guards looked like young men in their 30s and [-]s. They were wearing black robes and their faces were covered with black cloth. They couldn't see their faces clearly, but the aura emanating from their bodies was also very fierce.
"What's going on here? Why are these guys in Chaoge City?" Di Xin frowned and asked in puzzlement.
"These guys are dead soldiers of Xiqi, and they are acting under orders. Their mission is to lurk among the people, wait for an opportunity, and attack the people!" Hearing Di Xin's inquiry, Lin Yuan explained.
When Di Xin heard the words, he immediately fell into deep thought.
Xiqi sent people to lurk in Chaoge City, certainly not just targeting the common people, they must also have his own selfish motives.
But, who is Xiqi's target?
After all, Xiqi had too many conspiracies, his mind was in chaos, and he couldn't be sure.
"Eldest brother, since Xiqi wants to attack our human race, how can we sit and wait for death?" Di Xin said.
"Well, that's what I mean too. I'll send an order first, and the whole army is on alert!"
Hearing Di Xin's words, Lin Yuan nodded immediately.
Even though Lin Yuandang passed on the news, he ordered people to arrest all Xiqi spies.
Once you find any traces of Xiqi's spies, immediately report to Di Xin and let him go.
Not long after, the whole city of Chaoge was boiling, and some people gathered at the intersection to accuse Xiqi of secret spies.
Even so, many Xiqi spies fled Chaoge City taking advantage of the chaos.
All of a sudden, people in Chaoge City became panicked, and even many people began to actively distance themselves from the crowd.
Xiqi's shadow assassins were not idle either, they kept wandering around the city, trying to find opportunities to attack the people in Chaoge City.
It's a pity that Lin Yuan has already made arrangements, and those Xiqi spies have no chance to do anything.
Soon, it was noon, and after noon, a scorching sun hung in the east, exuding scorching heat.
The secret agents of the Western Zhou Dynasty in Chaoge City were basically wiped out, and the common people gradually recovered their calm, without the previous restlessness.
However, at this moment, a sharp horn suddenly resounded over the entire city of Chaoge.
Immediately, many soldiers rushed out of Chaoge City.
"What's going on?" Lin Yuan immediately asked suspiciously.
Di Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either. I just got the news, so I'll go out and have a look."
"Well, little brother, be careful, if anything goes wrong, let me know immediately!" Lin Yuan urged.
Afterwards, Di Xin led some soldiers and horses to the southeast corner of Chaoge City.
When Di Xin and the others reached the southeast corner, they found that there was a group of people gathering there.
There are about 600 of these soldiers, and every soldier reveals a fierce murderous aura.
"These people are... Huang Feihu's troops? Why are they gathered here?" Di Xin glanced at the uniforms of the soldiers, and immediately reacted.
In the territory of Dashang, in Chaoge City, it is very rare to have such imposing soldiers, and there are only a handful of generals who can bring out this group of soldiers.
Apart from Grand Master Wen Zhong, the strongest leader in Dashang is Wucheng King Huang Feihu!
Huang Feihu is an old courtier of the Great Shang Dynasty, and has made countless contributions to the Great Shang Dynasty.
Moreover, he is a relative of the emperor, and his younger sister is a noble concubine, and she is highly relied on by the emperor in the court. If Huang Feihu really rebelled, the crisis of Dashang would be immeasurable.
However, this Huang Feihu was honest and upright, and had never done anything wrong to the court, so Di Xin was not sure for a while whether he would betray Da Shang.
Immediately, Di Xin instructed everyone: "Everyone cheer up for me. Once something happens, you are absolutely not allowed to act without authorization. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Understood!" Everyone answered in unison, and then stood where they were, without speaking.
Seeing this, Di Xin didn't hesitate, and immediately led the crowd towards Huang Feihu's men.
When Di Xin and others came to Huang Feihu's approach, Huang Feihu also noticed Di Xin, and hurried up to greet him immediately, saluting respectfully: "See Your Majesty!"
Although Huang Feihu was very respectful, he did not bow his knees, showing his confidence.
Seeing Huang Feihu's actions, a look of satisfaction flashed in Di Xin's eyes.
"General Huang, why did you bring soldiers and horses and gather on the city wall? I'm afraid this is not in compliance with the rules?!" Di Xin paused for a moment before shouting.
"Your Majesty, the general is a little worried that the Xiqi people will take the opportunity to plunder the people, so the general specially mobilized some soldiers and horses to station on the city wall just in case." Huang Feihu said with his hands clasped.
Hearing Huang Feihu's words, a smile appeared on the corner of Di Xin's mouth. He had already guessed that Huang Feihu would prepare another set of rhetoric.
If it was the past, Di Xin would definitely not doubt what Huang Feihu said.
However, ever since Lin Yuan told him the identities of those shadow assassins, Di Xin had an ominous feeling that the actions of the Xiqi shadow assassins were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
What's more, Huang Feihu's actions now are too inappropriate, it is really unconvincing!
"General Huang, your soldiers and horses are stationed on the city wall. This is a violation of military law! I can definitely punish you for the crime of contempt for military power, and punish the nine clans!" Di Xin stared at Huang Feihu and scolded in a cold voice.
Hearing Di Xin's words, Huang Feihu was stunned. Obviously, he did not expect that Di Xin would suddenly reprimand him and punish him, which made Huang Feihu feel a little guilty.
As the leader of the great merchant military generals, he has a great reputation. It is really helpless to be involved in this dispute this time, but, in the middle of the game, his fate is beyond his control!
If I had known that Di Xin was so cruel, I shouldn't have agreed to those people in the Western Zhou Dynasty!
This angered Di Xin, not to mention the conditions that Xi Zhou set for him, even his whole family was going to die!
On the other hand, Lin Yuan frowned slightly, because he felt an extremely strange atmosphere from Huang Feihu's body, as if there was some secret hidden behind Huang Feihu.
"Your Majesty, the last general, this, this, I did not despise military discipline!" Huang Feihu said directly.
Hearing Huang Feihu's rebuttal, Di Xin snorted coldly, and said, "Since you didn't disrespect military discipline, why did you gather so many soldiers and horses? Could it be that you want to cooperate with Xiqi secret spies? Rescue that Jichang?"
