Chapter 59: Ambush Assassin (4)
Apart from Wang Ye, Wu Yao were the only ones who did not participate in the discussion, otherwise the situation would not have been so bad, and Zhao Ziheng would not have felt so exhausted. Those who did not participate were working together to investigate the epidemic, that is, they were interrogating individual Feiyan captives. Needless to say, the subjects of the interrogation were those who behaved strangely during the day.
Interrogation is no different from other things. It requires psychological warfare with the other party, which is more strenuous than fighting with the enemy. Mentally, it requires calmness. From the beginning to now, it is basically over...
"This is really more tiring than fighting a war."
Wu Yao, who had just finished interrogating the last person, took a stack of information and threw it lightly on the table, then sat down. He didn't look so exhausted the last time he fetched water, but this time it was more obvious.
"Interrogation requires patience. It is a test of the interrogator's heart to see what kind of person he is and what kind of methods he uses. Therefore, compared to physical work, mental and spiritual work is more exhausting."
"…So those people with higher status are all civil servants?"
Wang Ye smiled without saying anything, concentrating entirely on the documents in his hands.
"Although this happens every time, I still can't get used to it."
"Then please keep going, you will get used to it one day."
"knew--"
Now Wu Yao and Wang Ye get along very well, or perhaps more than just well. One is kind, tolerant and reserved, while the other is honest, upright and straightforward. They really feel like close friends. Wu Yao no longer gets angry when hearing Wang Ye's preaching, but accepts it as a matter of course...
"But what do you and the Emperor want to know? There is nothing useful in these records."
Wu Yao picked up the document he had put down earlier and shook it and asked.
"Whether it is useful or not won't be known until the end. We can't just say anything that is not certain yet."
"oh?"
Something that both Zhao Ziheng and Wang Ye wanted to know must not be simple. Seeing how serious Wang Ye was, Wu Yao didn't want to disturb him anymore.
After a long while, Wang Ye finally finished reading all the interrogation records. It seemed that he did not find anything. No, it should be said that he found something and needed to report to Zhao Ziheng, so he went to find Zhao Ziheng with Wu Yao.
Zhao Ziheng had a headache because of the quarrel among his ministers, so he temporarily closed his eyes to rest. When he opened his eyes again, he could vaguely discern two attacking him with swords. It was because he sensed the murderous aura that Zhao Ziheng suddenly opened his eyes and quickly placed the accessories placed next to the dragon throne to resist the soldiers' attack...
“Tsk!!”
"You are not part of our army? Are you Feiyan's ambush troops?"
"Wait until you go to hell and ask the King of Hell."
Just after a round of attack, two soldiers regrouped and attacked Zhao Ziheng. It seemed that they were here to kill Zhao Ziheng. The battle between the two sides was fierce. Normally Zhao Ziheng was confident that he could handle a one-on-two situation, but the skills of these two soldiers were not something Zhao Ziheng could easily handle...
"Are you assassins?"
In the middle of the fight, Zhao Ziheng was dealing with attacks from both sides and asked, but unfortunately he got no response. At this moment, two soldiers rushed in, exuding the same aura as the soldiers who were fighting. Zhao Ziheng, who was already somewhat restrained by facing two soldiers, was going to face dead men this time. Anyone could see that they wanted to kill Zhao Ziheng. In this case, there was no need for Zhao Ziheng to stay and he had to fight with all his strength!
Outside the tent, the tent where Zhao Ziheng was located was an independent camp, so the guard entrance was three meters away from the tent. Wang Ye and Wu Yao came to the guard entrance and were stopped by the guards...
"The Emperor has already ordered that he does not want anyone to disturb him during his rest time."
" What did you say?"
The soldier's message immediately surprised Wang Ye and Wu Yao. When had this happened before?
"Please go back and rest, General Wu. When the emperor wakes up , I will report that General Wu and Lord Wang have been here."
Wang Ye looked at the soldier who delivered the message, then inspected the other three soldiers on guard, and then looked at the tent where Zhao Ziheng was located, which was 30 feet and 30 meters away. The lights in the tent were off and it was dark. Wang Ye had an idea in his mind...
"Did the Emperor really say that?"
Wang Ye's words startled Wu Yao, but the guards were unmoved: "Yes."
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, Wang Ye had already put the accessory that he had pulled out of the soldier's body on his neck: "Who would believe it?"
Wang Ye's move was so fast that Wu Yao was completely unaware. The same was true for the other soldiers. His lightning-fast move shocked everyone. Wang Ye's eyes flashed coldly, which was completely different from his usual gentle attitude. After Wang Ye's move, the other three soldiers drew their swords...
"Lord Wang——"
Just as Wu Yao was trying to figure out the situation, Wang Ye's sword had already cut the soldier's throat...
“There’s an assassin!!”
Following Wang Ye's shout, the other three soldiers quickly attacked Wang Ye. After seeing Wang Ye fighting with the three soldiers, Wu Yao finally understood and immediately joined the battle. Upon hearing Wang Ye's shout, the patrolling guards had already rushed over here...
