After discussing with Sima Tu, it was already late at night.

The two of them left the study, and Sima Tu said goodbye: "Lord, it's not early, you should rest early." ”

"You're tired too, rest early and leave me alone."

Li Xun nodded, but stood still and did not move.

Sima Tu glanced at Li Xun in surprise and saw his strange appearance.

"Lord, you are..."

Li Xun sneered: "If you have a vengeance, you don't want to revenge a gentleman, my revenge with Wanli should not be overnight." ”

After that, Li Xun looked up at the sky and muttered to himself: "Tonight the wind is crisp and the moon is shining, it is a good time to kill people and set fires." ”

Sima Tu smiled bitterly: "That's not in a hurry!" Besides, the lord just broke out with Wanli tonight, and Chunfeng Lou immediately had an accident, anyone can guess that this matter was done by the lord, and it is really not good for you, so let's act quietly in secret. ”

Li Xun shook his head, but he had his own considerations and plans: "Things are going to make a big deal anyway, and in the end, you can't hide it if you want to, it's better to cut through the mess quickly and do it all, and the faster you shoot, the more you can catch the other party off guard, and there are many fewer variables." ”

Listening to Li Xun's words, Sima Tu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "That's fine, it's just that when you get to the emperor, your words, but you have to think about it, don't mess up when the time comes." ”

Li Xun smiled lightly: "Since I dare to do it, I naturally already have a countermeasure, so you don't need to worry about it." ”

Seeing that Li Xun was resolute and confident, Sima Tu didn't say anything.

At this time, Jiang Daxiong and Ouyang Li walked over with their horses.

"Boss, you're all set."

Sima Tu said softly: "Lord, just the three of you?" ”

Li Xun smiled: "Killing people and setting fires, I don't have any interest in killing people, arson, you don't need too many people to raise your hand." ”

After saying this, Li Xun turned on his horse and led Jiang Daxiong and Ouyang Li away.

Looking at the back of Li Xun leaving, Sima Tu frowned, this time he rejoined Li Xun, there was no way, in order to save himself, he had to do it.

Previously, he did not hesitate to bear the infamy of ingratitude, but he also wanted to leave Li Xun, Sima Tu was also to save himself, or to avoid trouble, if Li Xun was just an ordinary general, it didn't matter if his position was lower, but he was the cousin of King Qi and the nephew of Li Guifei in the dynasty.

Misfortune and blessing rely on, blessing and misfortune lurk, Sima Tu is a very wise and intelligent character, he deeply understands that the future of the Great Jin, the danger is no longer external, but internal, where is the internal danger?

The struggle for the throne.

And there are three strong contenders for the throne, the king of Chu, the king of Qi, and the king of wings.

Follow Li Xun to mix, once King Qi ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Li Xun will naturally soar into the sky, and Sima Tu will also get rich, but what if he fails? I am afraid that it will also pay a heavy price.

For many people, wealth is in danger, and if you want to get rich, it is naturally accompanied by great danger.

Sima Tu doesn't love power, doesn't love money? No, on the contrary, Sima Tu's own utilitarianism is actually very heavy, but his utilitarianism is relatively peaceful, not like a gambler, in order to win, he can be desperate and put everything on the table.

Sima Tu has lived in Momeng for nearly 20 years, and how many people can experience the suffering and torture? But it is precisely because of so many years of life torture that Sima Tu learned to cherish and protect himself.

Sima Tu left Li Xun, the reason is actually very simple, he doesn't want to continue to live that kind of frightened life, he wants to live an ordinary life, but unfortunately many things backfired, turned a big circle, and finally returned to the original point.

Late at night.

A quick knock on the door forcibly pulled Zhao Shaocheng out of his sleep.

Zhao Shaocheng picked up a cloak and put it on, opened the door, but saw the housekeeper standing outside the door.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Shaocheng glanced at the sky, there was still nearly an hour before dawn, this time, if it was not an important matter, the housekeeper would never disturb him.

The housekeeper said urgently: "Master, Chunfeng Building... Something went wrong. ”

Zhao Shaocheng's face changed: "Something's wrong, say it quickly." ”

"Jingzhao Mansion officials came to report that Chunfeng Tower was burned."

Zhao Shaocheng's face suddenly became gloomy, he just had a conflict with Li Xun tonight, how long has it been, such a big thing happened in Chunfeng Building, and Li Xun's counterattack and revenge came too quickly and too strongly.

Zhao Shaocheng went back to the room and got dressed, and quickly left the house.

When the officials of Jingzhao Mansion who were waiting outside the mansion saw Zhao Shaocheng, they immediately stepped forward and said with an anxious face: "My lord, the fire in Chunfeng Tower..."

"I know, I'll talk about it when I get to the mansion."

Zhao Shaocheng interrupted the official's words, turned over his horse, and hurried towards Jingzhao Mansion.

When he arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, Zhao Shaocheng learned some about the situation, and then ordered a battalion of 1,000 soldiers from the Patrol Academy, and rushed towards Chunfeng Tower.

After Zhao Shaocheng arrived, the fire in Chunfeng Tower had been basically extinguished, and the relevant people who arrived first were looking for the injured from the ruins.

"Your Excellency, you're here."

Jingzhao Mansion Shaoyin Gu Benchao walked over and bowed.

Zhao Shaocheng asked about the situation: "How is the damage?" ”

Gu Benchao said: "The fire is very big, and there are many injured people, but only one person has died. ”

"Who died?"

"The boss of Chunfeng Building, Wanli."

After Gu Benchao finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Zhao Shaocheng, he knew something about tonight, but he didn't get involved in the matter of Zhao Shaocheng and Li Xun, it was strange to say, the fire was so big, and one person died, just the boss of Chunfeng Building.

Zhao Shaocheng's face was pale, it was late at night, it was a normal time for a person to sleep, such a fire, only one person died, and it happened to be thousands of miles, how could it be so coincidental?

Zhao Shaocheng gritted his teeth and said: "Why did the fire happen, what did you investigate?" ”

Gu Benchao nodded and said, "I have already asked the people in Chunfeng Building, according to what they said, an hour ago, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums beating outside, and many people were woken up, and then there was a fire. ”

This is someone deliberate, it seems that the person who set the fire did not do the thing absolutely, before the fire, there was a reminder, but why did he die alone? Is this a coincidence or .....

"You stay and continue to investigate."

Zhao Shaocheng pondered for a moment, then gave an order, got on his horse, and left.

Looking at the back of Zhao Shaocheng leaving, Gu Benchao shook his head, some things have obviously involved Jingzhao Mansion, Gu Benchao thought, should he change his position?
