Chapter 209: Bandit Attack (8)

Li Xun then understood, Minzhou Thorn Shi is afraid that he and others will enter the city to fight tooth sacrifices, this is also a bad habit of the army, the border land is somewhat different from the mainland, many cities in the interior, the defensive army is not strong, some have no defenders at all, just rely on the government to maintain law and order, so in the system, there is no court ultimatum, more than 100 people of the army, not allowed to enter the city casually, and the border city, wars are frequent, and the transfer of troops is also frequent, so it is relaxed to 500 people.

Li Xun's 500 people entered Minhuang County, they can eat and drink well, but the cost of eating and drinking, if they don't pay, this account will eventually fall on the head of the local government, the seven states in the west of Longyou, under the rule of the Dashi Empire, have been destroyed for many years, and now the war has just ended, all industries are waiting to be developed, the people's livelihood is withering, and the people's lives are extremely difficult.

Li Xun didn't say anything, just said that he would not enter the city and would not enter the city, so he led everyone away.

"Boss, this person is too polite, even if we go into the city to eat and drink, it's not that we don't give money, so we need to drive us away like this?"

Li Xun said lightly: "This person is a good official. ”

Jiang Daxiong snorted: "I don't look like it." ”

Li Xun smiled: "Da Xiong, this official can't offend me at all, even if we go to the city for dinner and leave, he won't have any loss, it's a big deal to spread the cost evenly among the people, and now dissuade us from leaving, it's also to not increase the burden on the people, such an official, do you say it's good or bad?" ”

After hearing this, Jiang Daxiong suddenly realized, nodded and said, "In this way, this person is really a good official." ”

"If you are an official, you are willing to think about the people, no matter how bad it is, it is not much worse."

Shan Qiu Zong immediately stepped forward and said: "Li Xun, visit the Malay report, there is a very good terrain ahead, let's camp and rest on the spot!" ”

Li Xun glanced at the sky, nodded and said, "You can arrange it!" ”

After marching for more than 50 miles, the sky was getting dark, and everyone began to set up camp and make fires and cook food.

Maybe he didn't rest well last night, or he was frightened, You Min's face was a little bad, his spirit was not high, his expression was quite pale, he didn't eat anything for dinner, and he didn't come out of the carriage all the time.

Li Xun walked around the barracks and came to the main tent, where the food had already been served.

"What about Zhao Wei?"

After Li Xun sat down, he didn't see Zhao Wei, so he asked out loud.

Although Li Xun is far inferior to Shan Qiu in terms of seniority and ability, Li Xun is the master of the army after all, no matter how good the relationship between the two is, some necessary etiquette must be observed, such as the meal has already been served, Li Xun is no longer there, and Shan Qiu will never eat first.

"He's in charge of setting up camp tonight."

Shan Qiu picked up the bowl and began to eat.

Li Xun smiled and said, "Brother Shan, you have also learned to be lazy." ”

Shan Qiu smiled and said: "Zhao Wei is good at guarding, and he has a lot of research on arranging troops, and if he leaves this kind of thing to camp and arrange, the effect will definitely be much better than what I do." ”

Li Xun nodded, Zhao Wei is very deep, has few words, and his martial arts are okay, but he is also the worst among Shan Qiu and Jiang Daxiong, but everyone has their own advantages, Zhao Wei's advantage is that he is as steady as a mountain, his combat style with Mao Anfu is just the opposite, more righteous and less scheming, good at arranging troops, confronting the enemy head-on, and being a good hand in defense, Shan Qiu is a centrist, both can be, but they are not very good.

Li Xun picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and just after eating two mouthfuls of rice, a soldier came in and reported: "General, someone asks to see you." ”

Li Xun was stunned and wondered: "In this wilderness, who will come to the door and take the initiative to ask for a meeting?" ”

The soldier replied, "It's a man named Zhou Qing." ”

Zhou Qing?

Li Xun laughed and said, "It turned out to be this kid, let him come over." ”

Wuzhou is the governor of the state, so there are two sets of ruling teams, one is the local government, the prefect is the history of the assassin, and the other is the governor's mansion, the prefect is naturally the governor Li Xun, and there is also the governor of the governor's mansion below, this official position, the imperial court is to appoint Zhou Qing to take charge, this is the official position of the fifth grade, he is only the imperial history of the seventh grade in Fengjing, this time it can be said that he has been promoted several levels, but Zhou Qing did not want to come to Wuzhou, and he resigned many times, but was severely rejected by the ministry, before leaving Beijing, Li Xun also sent someone to inform Zhou Qing, asked him to follow his team headquarters on the road, but he didn't get any response, and Li Xun didn't care about him, but he didn't expect to find him automatically today.

A moment later, Lei Wanhai led Zhou Qing and five soldiers into the tent.

"Zhou Qing, if you haven't eaten, if you haven't eaten, sit down and eat together."

Li Xun greeted him politely.

Zhou Qing had a calm face and didn't speak, the soldiers around him looked at each other, no matter what the relationship between Zhou Qing and Li Xun was, whether they had a holiday or not, they hurriedly bowed down and said, "General, we are tired all the way and hungry, can we enjoy food?" ”

"Small."

Li Xun nodded and said to Lei Wanhai: "Lead them out to eat and take care of their fill." ”

The food in the army is a little small, barely able to last breakfast tomorrow, the nearest city is Guazhou City, there are still more than 300 li, half a day may not be able to catch up, tomorrow at noon may be hungry.

The soldiers said words of thanks, and then retreated with Lei Wanhai.

They were very dissatisfied with Zhou Qing, Li Xun didn't take this smooth trip, so they had to let the imperial court send someone else to escort them, this drudgery finally fell on their heads, tonight was originally to settle down in Minhuang County to rest, but Zhou Qing didn't know what to do, so he had to walk at night and catch up with Li Xun, and now he didn't eat.

Li Xun said to Zhou Qing: "Zhou Qing, seeing that your face is not good, you won't be here to find fault again, right?" ”

Zhou Qing frowned, came to Li Xun and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "Li Xun, why are you killing people and setting fire in Zhiming County?" ”

Li Xun suddenly realized, it seems that Zhou Qing is taking the same route as himself, and he is also passing by Zhiming County, and he knows those things, so he came up and asked clearly.

Li Xun said what happened: "I have already reported this matter to the emperor, and the story is very clear, but I didn't kill people indiscriminately. ”

Zhou Qing's brows relaxed, and he was quite surprised: "Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate an important member of the imperial court?" ”

"Someone paid a lot of money to buy a non-governmental organization called the Beijiang Society to assassinate me, I can't figure it out, I have always been honest as an official, and I have never taken the initiative to offend anyone, who hates me to such a point?"

"If you haven't done anything bad, you know it in your heart, otherwise no one will hate you so far."

Zhou Qing scoffed.

Li Xun rolled his eyes, he had already seen that Zhou Qing was a brainless, a typical angry young man, no matter what status you have, spray it first.

"Zhou Qing, what's the matter with the injury on your face?"

Only then did Li Xun see that the left eye of Zhou Qing was a little purple and bruised, obviously who had beaten him.

When Li Xun said this, Zhou Qing, whose attitude was not too bad, suddenly had an angry look on his face, glanced at Li Xun with hatred, snorted coldly, got up and strode away.

Li Xun is a little inexplicable, is it wrong to care about people or care about people?

Li Xun pointed to his head, and said a little angrily: "This person has something wrong with his brain, and it is wrong for others to care about him." ”

Jiang Daxiong was eating, and nodded vaguely: "I think so." ”
