"When you go in, don't say anything, don't show your murderous aura, those people are not as easy to talk as young master and me, although they are not as smart as young master and me, they are a little worse, but they are not ordinary people, especially the guy who looks at the smile on his face, the most insidious."

"Anyway, after you go in, you just have to listen, I'll take care of everything, understand?" Li Zhou reminded Ximen North in a serious manner, Li Zhou was afraid that she couldn't help it and would fight, and at that time, it would be a big trouble.

She is not Ke'er, she can suppress her, as soon as Ximen Bei kills people, he doesn't nod his head, Li Zhou is not sure to stabilize him, if she really goes crazy and kills a few people, then he really jumps into the Yellow River and can't wash it.

Ximen Bei nodded indifferently, obediently followed behind Li Zhou, Li Zhou was very satisfied with her attitude, walked into this Dali Temple with cheerful steps, and was greeted by a general, wearing silver-white armor, looking at Li Zhou with cold eyes, as if no one was standing there, after seeing that the person who came was Li Zhou, the general's shoulders shrugged, extremely subtle movements, Li Zhou saw it in his eyes, and smiled in his heart.

There was no surprise or shock on his face, some were not very convinced, and relieved and relaxed, strode up and bowed to greet: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince." โ€

"I've seen the general, why is the general here? Could it be that His Highness is in the wrong place? This is not Dali Temple, but the general's mansion? Li Zhou asked with bad intentions, and his eyes were even more aggressive.

"His Royal Highness said with a smile, Xiaguan is just a guard, how can he afford to live in such a big house, this is the Dali Temple that His Highness is looking for, I don't know if His Highness is not good to stay at home, what is the big thing to do in Dali Temple?" The general took Li Zhou's move and fired back again, without the slightest fear.

"The general also likes to joke so much, can't His Highness come to Dali Temple if he is fine? His Royal Highness is a good friend of Lord Di Renjiedi, can't you come to visit? Li Zhou was aggressive, pressing Sima Long step by step, not giving him a chance to refute.

How could Sima Long be an ordinary person, his pupils turned, and he quickly restrained the contempt in his heart, friend? You and Di Renjie? I've never heard Di Renjie say that you are his friend, you have only met twice and chatted once, this is a good friend?

He has known Di Renjie for so many years, Di Renjie's friend, he has seen almost everything, he has heard of it a little, and you, the prince, are definitely not his friends, I dare to pack a ticket.

"Haha, since His Royal Highness is here to visit Master Di, it just so happens that I also have something to find Di Renjie, let's go together." Sima Long didn't smile on his face, stood beside Li Zhou, and pointed out the way for Li Zhou.

"That's just right, together, together." Li Zhou laughed, followed the path he pointed out, walked for a while, and arrived at a room, Li Zhou did not hesitate to enter, Ximen Bei looked around, his eyes were flat and worried, and he had some doubts and swaying in his heart, is it safe here?

Obviously, she was too nervous, as soon as she entered, Di Renjie came up to meet her, came over to meet him with a smile, Li Zhou helped him up, and said with a smile: "At this time, you are still nagging Lord Di, you are really a little reluctant not to go, I hope to forgive me." โ€

Li Zhou saluted first and then soldiers, and said hello politely, Di Renjie didn't feel strange, and started greeting Li Zhou directly, but the two just didn't get into the topic.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but Master Di is stronger and more energetic."

"Oh? Is it? You think so too, I thought that only the old man thought so, but I didn't expect His Highness to see it too, admire and admire. Di Renjie greeted you politely: "It's been so many days since the last time we met, and the so-called Shibei should be impressed in three days, and His Royal Highness is much better looking than then." โ€

Covering his conscience and talking nonsense, Di Renjie didn't know how many times he had visited Guanyin Bodhisattva, Li Zhou accepted it happily, and he didn't feel wronged at all, this is talking about him, that's right, it's him.

"That's a must, Master Di has a good eye, you can see it, it's not simple, it's not simple." Li Zhou said two sentences in a row, it seemed that there was something in the words, Di Renjie's face remained unchanged, and he complimented: "Where is it, this is not thanks to His Highness, otherwise this official would not have looked so carefully, His Highness is a very human." โ€

Is it very human? Are you saying I'm doing something extraordinary?

"Master Di is not simple, in a hurry to come up with such a note, not everyone can come up with it, just this point, Lord Di has a bright future." Li Zhou didn't tell lies, this is all the truth, he has wisdom, knows strategy, and knows how to advance and retreat, it is a pity that such a person is not a big official.

"Your Highness has won the award, these are all the merits of Your Majesty, and the lower officials just took some good luck." Di Renjie was very modest, put aside Li Zhou's question with one hand, and pretended to be confused.

"Hehe, can Master Di know the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold?" Li Zhou squinted his eyes and asked Di Renjie deeply, Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, and then thought for a while: "Your Highness might as well say it directly?" โ€

"The Fifth Year of the Emperor of the Left": The so-called auxiliary vehicles depend on each other; those with dead lips and cold teeth; Gongyu and Yu are also said. Presumably Master Di knows this allusion, right? Li Zhou didn't say it explicitly, and smiled to see how Di Renjie answered.

It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a man named Jin Xiangong, who wanted to expand his country's territory and strength, and planned to attack the surrounding Yu State, so he made an excuse that the neighboring Yu (Guรณ) State often violated the borders of the Jin State and wanted to send troops to destroy the Yu State. However, there is a Yu country between the Jin State and the Yu State, and the crusade against the Yu State must pass through the Yu Land.

Obeying the strategy of his ministers, he sent a few valuable treasures to the national army of Yu State, and used it for a while, and the monarch of Yu State directly agreed, and Jin State eliminated Yu State from Yu State, and then turned back to eliminate this Yu State, and the idiom of cold lips and teeth comes from this.

Li Zhou used the truth that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, showing that Di Renjie was vague for a while and didn't know what Li Zhou wanted to express.

"I don't think Lord Di has a good relationship in the court, right? And this general, he must have had a hard time, right? โ€

"What does Your Highness mean?"

Di Renjie felt that Li Zhou was very mysterious at this moment, as if he couldn't hide anything from him, it was true that their situation was not very good, Sima Long was a little better, as the general of the Yulin Army, he had no opponents, at most, he didn't do well and was dismissed.

What about him, the officialdom is changing rapidly, today you are a very popular minister, tomorrow you will return to your hometown, you can't say anything, and in the court, he Di Renjie is just a Shaoqing of Dali Temple, a position to offend people, everything about some offending people in Dali Temple, cases, are handed over to him to take care of.

Those who should join the army, those who are exiled, and those who kill their heads do not bend the law for personal gain, nor do they kill a good person by mistake, but they hurt him with such integrity and make it difficult for him to move an inch, and those who are offended by him always come out to do something at critical times.

It makes it even more difficult for him to do it, this position is still kept by the elders who appreciate his talents, Dali Temple seems to be a very small place, specializing in some cases, there will be no internal struggles, if you think so, then you are finished.

The relationship in this place is complicated, just say that his boss, the relationship behind him is very big, and none of his colleagues is simple, in short, the inside of Dali Temple is not monolithic, and the struggle is always accompanied by interests.

"I think Master Di will understand, know what to do? As for that scar man, His Royal Highness can guarantee that he will not appear again, I don't know what Lord Di thinks? In the last sentence, Li Zhou's voice became gloomy, and he stared at Di Renjie coldly.

Di Renjie felt as if he was being targeted by a fierce tiger, unable to move, sweat dripping from his forehead, and his heart was entangled, should he do this?

Sima Long's eyes rolled, as if he was thinking about something? Uncertain, Ximen Bei looked at them quietly, although she couldn't understand what they were saying, she obviously understood the last sentence, and looked at Li Zhou thoughtfully.

Several people each had their own thoughts, and no one made a sound, Li Zhou put his fingers on the table, patting it gently, and there was a crisp sound on the wooden table, shaking the thoughts of the three people.

Smack

Smack

Smack

Smack

Time passed minute by minute, the general's eyes lit up, his eyes became extremely determined, and he looked up at Li Zhou, as if he had figured out something.

"I don't know what you can do, Your Highness?"

Li Zhou smiled, hooked his finger at him, Sima Long came over, Li Zhou nagged a few times in his ear, the voice was very small, only the two of them understood, and then, Li Zhou stretched out his hand to Ximenbei, Ximenbei was puzzled, Li Zhou pointed to his face again, Ximenbei was stunned for a moment, and Li Zhou's words just now sounded in his head, which turned out to be what he meant.

But, but, she couldn't bear it.

But she also wanted to live quietly.

How should she do it?

And for whom?

"I ......." Ximen Bei hesitated for a while, and finally hardened his heart, took out the human skin mask, and put it on Li Zhou's hand, Li Zhou didn't look at it and put it on Sima Long's hand, got up and left, and didn't stay for a moment.

Xi Ma Long carefully observed the human skin mask in his hand, as if confirming something Yes, nodded, waved his hand and turned around, and commanded a few times, after his subordinates went out, there were two people left in the room, Di Renjie and Sima Long, who looked hesitant.

"What do you think?"

"Brother Di, what else can you think? Since His Highness asked us to do this, we did it, and besides, that scar man is not a murderer, he killed some officials who should be killed, so why bother with it? โ€

"But ......."

"Killing a corrupt official saved thousands of people, Brother Di, you are enchanted."

Di Renjie groaned for a while, the sorrow between his eyebrows dissipated with the wind, and his gaze became extremely firm.

Yes, what I do is for the sake of millions of people, not for some officials.
