Chapter 473 Traitorous Spy?
“I just looked at the map. We don’t have many men, and this imperial city is impregnable. We…”
Sikong Jin looked at Di Beizun with a somewhat solemn expression, and personally felt that this rescue was somewhat difficult, mainly because that despicable man Xing Qiyu still held the Ji family in his hands...
“You cannot compromise with this kind of person. My army has already arrived at Yanmen Pass. I have no patience left, Ajin. If you want to rescue them safely, you must act immediately. However, it will be my people who move, while your people remain stationary.”
Di Beizun paused for a moment before speaking to Sikong Jin in a low voice, his eyes filled with a deep, dark light and sharp determination.
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin paused slightly, lowered her eyes, and thought for a while before frowning and asking, "You mean you're about to send troops to attack Dayong?"
“Yes, my army will attack Dayong directly through Yanmen Pass in three days. You stay put. As long as you don’t show up for the time being, the Emperor of Dayong will think that he holds the trump card of Lady Sikong and the others, which will be their biggest trump card to save their lives. He definitely won’t use it until we are at the gates of the city.”
“I understand what you mean. You plan to divert their attention by waging war against Dayong. If my troops remain stationary, the Emperor of Dayong will most likely transfer some of his troops from near Hangu Pass to Yanmen Pass, which will greatly reduce the pressure on Hangu City. Furthermore, once the war starts, the court will definitely be in chaos. We can take the opportunity to create chaos in the capital and then rescue my mother and the others in the chaos. In addition, Lord Ji and the others will have a reason to return. The Tang family, the Ji family, the Zhu family, and others who remain in the capital also have their own private guards. If we combine these forces, we may not necessarily lose to Xing Qiyu.”
As Sikong Jin spoke, a smile appeared on her face.
"Not too stupid."
Di Beizun also gave her a meaningful look.
Sikong Jin raised an eyebrow, her smile widening. She turned slightly, cupping his cold, handsome face in one hand, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I am captivated by your breathtaking beauty and astonishing wisdom! You are my eternal sun... Oh! What are you doing? Didn't you realize I was praising you!"
"Your smile is so fake, Ah Jin, you should go take a shower!"
Before Sikong Jin could finish speaking, Di Beizun suddenly stood up and slapped her hand away.
"What? Take a bath? The rose petal bath I took the day before yesterday still smells fresh, you can smell it if you don't believe me... Where are you going? Are you coming into the city with me? If you don't come with me, I might lose control and very likely go to Wan Chun Lou to find some courtesans..."
As night deepened, a cold moon hung quietly in the high sky, and a cool breeze blew like water.
At the gates of the Dayong Imperial City, pedestrians continued to come and go in an endless stream. Even from a distance outside the city gates, one could already hear the bustling sounds from inside the city.
Beneath the weeping willows in front of the city gate, two figures rode side by side. One of the men wore a long black brocade robe. Although his appearance was ordinary, he could not hide the noble aura that naturally emanated from him. He also wore a cloak over his shoulders. He looked like a young nobleman. The woman beside him, wearing a gorgeous dark blue brocade dress, also looked quite ordinary. She had a pretty face, but she exuded a cold aura that made her unapproachable. She wore the same black cloak as the man.
The two do look somewhat like a married couple.
It was Di Beizun and Sikong Jin, who had specially disguised themselves after dinner!
They plan to sneak into the city tonight to investigate the situation and plan their next move.
"Let's go into the city, there shouldn't be any problems."
Sikong Jin spoke to Di Beizun beside her, pulling up the blue veil that was hanging down from her shoulder and putting it on her face, while turning her head to look at Di Beizun beside her.
Di Beizun nodded, glanced at her, and then spurred his horse forward, with Sikong Jin following closely behind.
Sure enough, as soon as the two arrived at the gate, guards ordered them to dismount for inspection and hand over their identification documents.
"Stop! Show me your ID and credentials. You can only pass after we check them!"
The guards stepped forward and stopped them, speaking coldly.
Sikong Jin raised an eyebrow and readily took out two identity documents from her sleeve and handed them to them.
Fortunately, Changfeng had prepared this for them in advance and disguised himself, otherwise it would have been quite difficult to enter the city.
"Take off your veil, let me see!"
The guard made a request.
Sikong Jin shrugged and did as she was told, removing her veil so the guard could inspect her.
"Brother, is something happening in the capital? Otherwise, why are they checking things so strictly, layer upon layer? When my husband and I came here from Luoyang a few months ago on business, it didn't seem this crowded."
Sikong Jin asked the guard with a smile.
"The Emperor has ordered a thorough investigation to prevent traitors and spies from infiltrating the city, so a thorough investigation is naturally necessary."
The guard gave a very formulaic reply. Hearing Sikong Jincao's Luoyang accent, he didn't dare to be arrogant. After all, people from Luoyang were considered quite noble in their eyes.
"A traitorous spy?"
Sikong Jin subconsciously raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "What traitors and spies? Hasn't our Great Yong been quite peaceful lately? Where would traitors come from?"
Sikong Jin asked in confusion, glancing at Di Beizun beside her.
"Isn't this all the work of that bastard Sikong Jin, the deputy commander of the Central Plains Military Command? Although the Emperor didn't say it outright, this guy actually dared to defy the imperial decree and not return, and even openly sent troops to attack Tiansheng with the Northern Emperor of the Great Zhou. Who knows, our Great Yong might be the next target!"
"Wait, that doesn't seem to be the case. I heard that Lord Sikong was ordered to help the Northern Emperor quell the Tiansheng rebellion?"
"No way, I heard that it's because Sikong Jin has some kind of affair with the Northern Emperor of the Great Zhou, so..."
The group chattered on and on, seemingly forgetting about Di Beizun and Sikong Jin beside them. Their discussion grew increasingly unpleasant, causing Sikong Jin to frown involuntarily.
"You don't know, the Northern Emperor and Sikong Jin are two fucking perverts, and I heard they even like pedophilia, they're really perverted!"
"Yes, I've heard about it too. I'm quite curious now. How could the Northern Emperor be attracted to someone like Sikong Jin? Goodness, Sikong Jin is such a lecher! Back when he frequented brothels in the capital, his name was the most famous! I never imagined he could be a womanizer!"
