The thick fire, as well as the fierce fighting and roaring, disturbed the sleep of many people.

The Wang surnamed Li came in a hurry, looking at the corpses on the ground and the raging fire that was burning, he was stunned, and said with a stammer: "Will... General, what's going on? ”

Li Xun looked at him, seeing that this person was old and still had to work so hard, his cold face softened slightly, and he said softly: "Old gentleman, don't be nervous, these people intend to murder this general, and it is not a pity to die." ”

Li Zheng was not a formal official, usually in a village or a smaller town, and the older people would take up this position to assist the government in administering the place.

Li Xun didn't say much, and Li Zheng naturally didn't dare to ask more.

Li Zheng said cautiously: "Regardless of whether these people are good or bad, since they died here, I will go to the county to report to the county magistrate." ”

Li Xun nodded: "This is natural, you do things according to the normal procedure, I will take a letter of resignation, you take it to the county order, he should not be embarrassed with you." ”

This general has a good personality and is very talkative, Li Zheng took the letter and left.

"Ouyang Li, you and I are old friends, how about taking me to the hotel for two glasses of wine?"

"Engong made an appointment, how dare Ouyang Li refuse."

Ouyang Li picked up the soft sword on the ground, tied it back to his waist, and then followed Li Xun to the hotel.

Li Xun returned to the hotel, and Zhao Wei and Zheng Chun greeted him.

Zhao Wei asked out loud, "Li Xun, how is the matter?" ”

"None of them ran, all of them were solved..."

Li Xun briefly explained what had happened, and then led Ouyang Li and Jiang Daxiong back to his room.

As soon as he sat down, Li Xun was about to ask Jiang Daxiong to get wine, but Fan Zhongyun and You Min pushed the door in with wine and food.

Li Xun said strangely: "Old Fan, you are really getting more and more weird, what do I think, you can come?" ”

Lao Fan came to Li Xun and sat down, and said with a smile: "If you go out here, you will definitely be dyed with murderous aura on your body, and spirits can dilute this breath." ”

"You're thoughtful."

Li Xun nodded, looked at You Min, and said softly, "You also got up so early?" ”

You Min handed out dishes, chopsticks and wine glasses to everyone, and said with a smile: "It's so noisy outside, and the sound is scary, I can't sleep even if I want to." ”

"There are some people out there who are plotting against me, and I've dealt with them."

Li Xun stood up, took the wine jug from You Min's hand, poured wine for everyone, and then said, "It's quiet outside now, you might as well go back and sleep for a while, we will stay here for two more hours." ”

You Min frowned, took back the wine jug from Li Xun's hand, poured himself a glass of wine, and said angrily: "It's quiet outside, but in this way, I'm even more afraid, you drink your wine, I'm listening, just don't speak." ”

Li Xun nodded, didn't say anything, sat down, and drank a glass of wine.

You Min glanced at Li Xun strangely, usually he is the most active, and he also likes to talk to himself, but today he is a little silent, and his face is not good, obviously in a bad mood, You Min sat down and stopped talking.

Everyone drank and chatted.

Li Xun seemed a little silent and rarely spoke.

Li Xun has been on the battlefield several times, and it is not that he has not killed people, but you live and die on the battlefield, go straight to the point, there is no one who is right and who is wrong, some are just victory and defeat, life and death, there is no second choice, and today's assassination attempt, although it has not been fully launched, it has been stifled, but Lao Meng's resolute death after defeat has deeply shocked Li Xun, what did he do wrong, let him hate it so much, this hatred has exceeded life.

There were five people at a table, saying that they were drinking and chatting, but in fact, Ouyang Li and Fan Zhongyun were talking there, and Fan Zhongyun asked many questions, not asking more about the assassination of Li Xun this time, but asking a lot of things about the folk rivers and lakes in Jiangnan.

After Ouyang Li left Fengjing, he went to Jiangnan, and there were some turning points, because of his strong martial arts, he was co-opted, and finally joined a folk organization called the Beijiang Society.

According to Ouyang Li, this organization, called the Beijiang Society, has a large number of personnel, covering the entire Jiangnan and Lingnan provinces, and is mainly engaged in goods escorting, information sales, and assassination.

The assassination of Li Xun was ordered by the Beijiang General Hall and transferred to the Fengjing Branch, and then the intermediary Lao Meng came forward to gather people to carry out the assassination activities.

Fan Zhongyun asked, "What does the Beijiang Association have to do with local officials?" ”

"The hierarchy of the Beijiang Club is extremely strict, all the activities and tasks are completed through intermediaries, all are single-line contacts, and the intermediaries will never cooperate with a person for the second time, so although I have joined the Beijiang Association for half a year, I know very little about this organization, and I don't even know where the specific location of the hall is, as for whether there is collusion with local officials, I don't know, but I think there should be."

Li Xun raised his head and interjected, "How can you see it?" ”

Ouyang Li said: "Because Lao Meng is a person from the government, he used to be the county lieutenant of Anhua County, Yazhou, and he only resigned on his own initiative half a year ago, so from this point of view, Lao Meng may have already planned to assassinate Engong." ”

Li Xun nodded, deep in thought, he didn't offend many people, who hated himself to such an extent?

Fan Zhongyun's face became a little heavy, Li Xun woke up from his contemplation, saw the look on his face, and asked softly: "Old Fan, no matter how powerful the Beijiang Society is, it is just a non-governmental organization of rivers and lakes, and if you want to move us clearly, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg." ”

"I'm not worried about that."

Fan Zhongyun sighed and said: "The people take food as the sky, if there is enough food and clothing, the people will naturally feel at ease and abide by the law. Once something happens, Jiangnan will be in chaos. ”

Li Xun thought for a moment, and then said: "You can report this matter to the emperor secretly, and he should take action." ”

Fan Zhongyun nodded, Zhao Zhi's main energy and attention were on the court and the envoys of various places, but he was a little distant from folk things.

The door was pushed open, and a soldier stood outside the door and reported: "Mr. Fan, the luggage has been packed, and the carriage has been bought, and we can leave at any time." ”

Fan Zhongyun responded: "You wait outside for a while, and I'll come right away." ”

Li Xun was surprised: "Where are you going?" ”

Fan Zhongyun smiled: "I'll go to Wuzhou first to help you stabilize people's hearts." ”

Li Xun frowned: "Is that necessary?" ”

Fan Zhongyun said lightly: "Sometimes it's useless to just talk about it. ”
