"My lord, this city of Liaozhou is really not normal."

Li Feng rode to Cheng Yi's side, frowned and said.

Cheng Yi looked into the distance silently, without saying a word.

After a while, Cheng Yi suddenly twitched his lips, and then ordered Changsun Chong and Cheng Chusi to go to Liaozhou City together. As for the rest of them, they all stayed where they were and waited for orders.

When Jin Changdao was an official in Chang'an City, he had occasional contacts, and only Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin were there.

However, Changsun Wuji is used to scheming after all. Although he and Jin Changdao admire each other, they still cannot achieve a deep friendship.

But Cheng Yaojin is different, he has always been a carefree person, and he never regards the identity or status of the other person when he gets along with others. As long as his temper and temperament suit his appetite, even a beggar on the street can make him a brother who worships him. .

Cheng Yi brought Changsun Chong and Cheng Chusi with him this time, in order to get acquainted with Jin Changdao faster.

Although he is concerned about the situation in Liaozhou City, he is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. If Jin Changdao really knew nothing about everything, he would not really kill the other party.

Before he reached the gate of the city, Cheng Yi saw the soldiers at the gate who were chatting and laughing with the common people suddenly became vigilant.

"Who are you?"

The soldiers stopped the three of them and questioned them.

Cheng Yi smiled, took out a token from his bosom and handed it to the soldier, saying, "I am Cheng Yi from Shence Army, and these two are the sons of old friends of Jin Shishi."

Instead of telling lies and making others suspicious, it is better to reveal your identity from the beginning so that the other party dare not do anything in the open.

Sure enough, as soon as Cheng Yi finished speaking, the soldier who was watching them vigilantly just now suddenly changed his expression.

Cheng Yi still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't see the front and back faces of these soldiers.

"I don't know that General Cheng is here! Hurry up!"

The soldier also suddenly realized that he seemed to have lost his composure, and hurriedly bowed to welcome the three of Cheng Yi into the city.

Since he hadn't entered the city just now, and now he was walking on the streets in the city, the doubts in Cheng Yi's heart became more and more serious.

Ever since Cheng Yi, Changsun Chong, and Cheng Chusi entered the city, the common people who seemed to be busy along the street couldn't help but thought they were secretly looking at the three of them.

In fact, it's not that Cheng Yi hasn't been watched by others at other times.

But this secretive and defensive look should not be the look that the people of Tang Dynasty should show when they see him.

Sure enough, there was a strange atmosphere everywhere in Liaozhou City.

Before walking around the street any more, Cheng Yi saw Jin Changdao running towards him in a hurry.

Perhaps it was because he ran too anxiously, Jin Changdao was still panting heavily when he stood in front of Cheng Yi.

"Generals Cheng and Cheng came from afar, and the lower officials, the lower officials are really disappointed."

Jin Changdao said while gasping for breath.

Seeing Jin Changdao's appearance, Cheng Yi sighed helplessly in his heart. He was basically sure that Jin Changdao really didn't know anything about the quarrel between Tang, Goguryeo, and Wa.

"It's my fault too, I didn't inform Governor Jin in advance."

Cheng Yi said.

Jin Changdao hurriedly waved his hands while trying to calm down his breathing as quickly as possible.

"General Cheng, where did you say that?"

Taking a look at Jin Changdao who was still wiping the sweat on his forehead, Cheng Yi bent his mouth, and immediately went to the Governor's Mansion under Jin Changdao's kind invitation.

Cheng Yi's sudden arrival made everyone in Liaozhou City tense up, except for Jin Changdao.

After some discussion, two soldiers in the city rushed to Goguryeo without stopping with the news.

So, when everyone else was in turmoil, Cheng Yi had leisurely followed Jin Changdao into the Governor's Mansion.

Along the way, Cheng Yi never stopped secretly watching the people coming and going on the road.

He didn't even need to look at it, but he already found that the people on the street were indeed different from ordinary people. They didn't even bother to dress up, and some of them even wore Goguryeo clothes.

After entering the governor's mansion, Cheng Yi could tell at a glance that both the steward of the governor's mansion and the servants in the mansion were probably arranged by King Goguryeo.

"Are these two Young Master Changsun and Young Master Cheng?"

After sitting down in the front hall, Jin Changdao looked at Changsun Chong and Cheng Chusi again.

Cheng Yi signaled the two to take a step forward, and said with a gentle expression, "The two of them joined the Shence Army when it was first established."

Jin Changdao's eyes lingered on the three of them for a moment, and then he couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

"General Cheng is worthy of being a young general, even the people around him are so outstanding."

Cheng Yi smiled noncommittally.

Changsun Chong and Cheng Chusi knew in their hearts that Cheng Yi brought them into the city today, but it was only for them to show their faces, so they didn't say much, just stood quietly aside.

"Golden Inspector, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it or not."

Cheng Yi made a tangled look.

Jin Changdao looked at Cheng Yi suspiciously, raised his hand and said, "It's okay to ask, General."

Cheng Yi nodded, then frowned and said: "I don't know if the governor of Jin knows, but in the past month, Goguryeo has launched six sieges on Yingzhou City."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Changdao suddenly widened his eyes.

"How, how?"

If someone else said this, he would naturally not believe it, but the person who said it at this time was Cheng Yi, so he had to believe it if he didn't want to believe it.

"One more thing." Cheng Yi carefully observed Jin Changdao's expression, and continued: "The guard of Yingzhou City said that the governor of Yingzhou had sent several letters of help to the governor of Jin, but he did not get any of them without exception. reply."

As these words were spoken, Jin Changdao's eyes grew bigger and bigger.

He was really shocked. After all, when he communicated with King Goguryeo last time, the other party had promised him that he would never use troops against Datang.

Who knows, who is...

"A few days ago, the governor of Yingzhou died for his country in the fifth siege of the Goguryeo army. There are only a few dozen soldiers left in the city of Yingzhou, and the people in the city are day and night. tremble with fear."

Cheng Yi's voice didn't fluctuate much.

But just because he said it so plainly, Jin Changdao was even more surprised and angry.

"Originally, I wanted to come to Liaozhou a few days ago, but just as I was about to leave, some Goguryeo people killed and went to Yingzhou City, so I was delayed for a few days."

After listening to what Cheng Yi said, Jin Changdao's face was completely gloomy.

His hands in the sleeves were clenched into fists without knowing when, and there were even a few glaring bloodstains on the palms from the nails.

"Inspector Zhang of Yingzhou... died for the country?"

Jin Changdao asked in a trembling voice.

Cheng Yi sighed deeply, looked at Jin Changdao and nodded.

Jin Changdao suddenly closed his eyes.

Back then, because of his unlucky background, most people in the officialdom shunned him. In order to keep out of sight and out of mind, he had a promising future in Chang'an City, so he finally asked Li Yuan to come to Liaozhou City.

Although he had gotten along well with Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin before, for Jin Changdao, the only friend he valued the most was Zhang Inspector of Yingzhou City.

Jin Changdao felt grief and anger in his heart for a moment.

Chapter 68 Let's see who dares to do it!

"Golden Inspector, Golden Inspector?"

Seeing that Jin Changdao was gradually losing his mind, Cheng Yi had no choice but to wake him up.

Hearing voices from far to near, Jin Changdao suddenly came back to his senses, and then realized that he lost his composure in front of Cheng Yi.

"General..."

Jin Changdao looked at Cheng Yi with some embarrassment.

Before that, he had never been ashamed of himself because of the blood of ordinary Goguryeo flowing on his body. He even had an illusion in his heart, trying to change the current situation of Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo being at war with each other by himself.

Before meeting Cheng Yi, he also felt that he was about to succeed.

But Cheng Yi, who suddenly appeared in front of him today, shattered the dream he had woven for himself without hesitation.

Looking at Cheng Yi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling when he looked at him, Jin Changdao had never felt so unbearable with his Goguryeo blood as he did today.

"Inspector Zhang...has he left any last words?"

Jin Changdao asked in a muffled voice.

Cheng Yi shook his head and said, "I haven't seen Governor Zhang for the last time, but I heard from people in his house that Governor Zhang was still asking questions until he died."

Cheng Yi paused when he said this, and then he spoke again under the gaze of Jin Changdao, whose eyes were stained red.

"Have the rescuers from Liaozhou City arrived?"

This last sentence undoubtedly became the last straw that crushed Jin Changdao.

Jin Changdao stood up suddenly from his seat. Although he wanted to yell at him, he had been gentle and gentle since he was a child, and he couldn't swear even a word until his face was flushed from holding back.

"housekeeper!"

Jin Changdao suddenly shouted loudly.

Hearing this extremely suppressed and angry shout, the butler, who had been hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, secretly said "Oops", and now he can only bite the bullet and go in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went in and raised his head, he met Cheng Yi's deep and deep eyes.

The housekeeper shuddered from the bottom of his heart, but he still tried to remain calm on his face.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Jin Changdao was extremely angry now. He never thought that the brother Wang who once said he only wanted the people under his rule to live and work in peace and contentment would actually do such a thing.

"Do you know what happened in Yingzhou City? Why didn't I even receive a letter from Brother Zhang Xian?"

Jin Changdao said word by word.

Hearing his words, the housekeeper's heart suddenly jumped.

He looked up at Jin Changdao in fear, just in time to meet his suspicious eyes.

"Old, old slave doesn't know..."
