A military tent was quickly erected in the spacious courtyard, and the guards poured in in a steady stream, surrounding Li Zeli on the third floor and the outer three floors.

After Gaomi County ordered Ma You to get the news, he almost fainted with fright, and the day before he was happy because of Li Ze's good work, he felt that he couldn't sleep, but this time he was so shocked that he didn't know where to fly. Disheveled, he rushed outside the post station, but was directly stopped by the guards on the periphery and was not allowed to enter. Looking at the fire that was still burning in the post station, at this moment, he wished that those few stone bullets bombarded him, and he directly blasted himself into scum, maybe he could be mixed with the mourning of a hero.

But this kind of thing can only be thought about, even if he wants others to bomb, the assassin still looks down on him.

As for the stationmaster of the station, as soon as he learned the news, he was so frightened that he had a stroke.

"Nothing serious, right?" In the military tent, Li Ze watched with concern as the military doctor was treating Chen Wenliang.

The military doctor skillfully straightened Chen Wenliang's bones, applied medicine, put on a splint, fixed it, and then stood up and said, "Li Xiang, Chen Shaoqing is nothing serious, it's just that he broke his bones, and he will be able to walk as before after a few months." ”

Most of these military doctors have had battlefield experience, and a broken bone like this is generally not a real injury in their eyes.

"Thank you Li Xiang for saving your life, if it weren't for Li Xiang today, my life would be gone." Chen Wenliang, who was in shock, looked at the small building that was still burning outside through the rolled up window on the military tent, and said in a trembling voice.

"We're lucky." Li Ze's face was a little bad, this time he was really lucky, he has always been a gentleman who does not stand under the wall, he always acts before acting, and rarely puts himself in such a dangerous situation, this time, he really did not expect to be attacked so fiercely in Gaomi territory.

The whole of Shandong has been under the rule of the imperial court for two years, and under the rule of Zhang Xun, it has always behaved very docilely, whether it is the economy or public security, it is a good momentum of vigorous and upward development.

Thinking of this, Li Ze also suddenly understood.

Or maybe that's why the Assassins chose to attack themselves here.

Because this place has been attached for a long time, he has been a little careless in his defense, not only himself, but also the people below him. If it was in Wuning, Liangzhe, and other land that had just been taken, his security would definitely climb several steps, and he would not give these people an opportunity to take advantage of it at all.

Zhang Xun had already dealt with this matter, he was the supreme governor of the entire Shandong Province, and if something happened to Li Ze here, of course he would be duty-bound, so after knowing that Li Ze's guards had confirmed the location of the trebuchet and captured the assassin at the first time, he immediately rushed over to participate in the interrogation.

Shocked and angry, he walked away with a very hideous expression.

Sitting in the tent, Li Ze already had a little understanding of who was plotting to assassinate him.

didn't wait long, Zhang Xun, the new guard commander Li Peng, and the head of the internal guard in charge of the patrol, Deng Ji, rushed in. As soon as the three of them came in, they all knelt down, and saw that the three of them were stained with blood, even Zhang Xun was no exception, Li Ze knew that even Zhang Xun was really scared this time.

"Zhang Xun, get up!" Li Ze waved his hand, although this matter was under the rule of Zhang Xun, it really had nothing to do with Zhang Xun.

But Li Peng and Deng Ji are different.

Zhang Xun stood up silently, bowing his head and standing to one side.

"You did it too?" Li Ze asked.

Zhang Xun nodded.

Li Ze shook his head and said, "You are the governor of a province, how can you do such a thing yourself?" This is a self-degrading order. ”

"If something happens to Li Xiang under my rule, it will be difficult for Zhang to atone for his sins." Zhang Xun said in a low voice.

Li Zezhen is going to have an accident, Zhang Xun really can't run away from responsibility, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, Liu Ruyan and Xia He will divide his five horses into corpses.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Li Ze looked at Deng Ji, the leader of the internal guard.

"Li Xiang, the process has been interrogated clearly, these people are all lurkers of the pseudo-Liang, these assassins have relatives who died in our war against Pinglu, and they hate Li Xiang to the core. This time they found out that Li Xiang was going to inspect Shandong to Jiaozhou Port, so Gaomi was the only way to go, and when they arrived in Gaomi, Li Xiang's greatest possibility was to stay at Gaomi Station. So they set it up in advance. Deng Ji said this, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this matter, he can't run away from responsibility.

He had arrived ahead of schedule, and for the Gaomi Station, he had indeed been cleaned and cleared inside and out, and those with slightly flawed identities were excluded, but he never imagined that here, the Assassins would be able to use the new catapults and the best fire bombs that were strictly controlled by the army.

If he had extended the security investigation to the entire commercial area here, such a thing would never have happened.

"Pseudo-Liang people?" Li Ze sneered.

"It's the pseudo-Liang people who do it, but the one who provides them with weapons should be the Lingnan Xiang clan." Dunge continued: "According to the Assassins, after they arrived, they first kidnapped the owner and men who controlled the inn, and only claimed to be taking inventory of the goods, because such things are very common here, so they did not attract people's attention. Immediately someone brought them parts for two trebuchets and helped them assemble them in the warehouse, and the fierce fire bombs were also provided by these people. ”

"Did the Xiang clan catch it?"

"The internal security has issued a maximum arrest warrant, and the fastest way for these people to escape is to escape through Jiaozhou Port." Dunge swallowed, "It's just that they left two days ago, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's difficult to catch them again." These people are veterans. ”

"Lingnan Xiang, I really can't wait!" Li Ze snorted coldly: "Luoyang hasn't been beaten down yet, so it's so unbearable." I don't want to think about it, this matter is started by the pseudo-Liang people, and they can get out of the relationship? A new trebuchet, where can I get a pseudo-beam? The best fire oil bombs, only they Xiang Clan can get them from us! ”

"If it succeeds, it doesn't matter." Chapter followed the road.

"It doesn't matter? I'm afraid that when the time comes, the army of Liu Ruyan, You Yong, Liu Chenglin, Tian Guofeng, Ding Jian and others will immediately give up attacking Luoyang and come south directly, right? Li Ze smiled.

Zhang Xun was stunned, there is really such a possibility in the heart, if Li Ze really has a temper of three long and two short, with willows like smoke and willows into forests, how can there be a reason not to take revenge immediately?

"Come and don't be rude, Dungey, send an order to the internal guards, and uproot all the secret spy strongholds of the Xiang clan in the Northland, and cut off all the heads without leaving a single one." Li Zedao.

"Yes!" Dungey kowtowed heavily, got up from the ground, turned and hurried out.

"Li Peng, you can go down too, after this incident, the guards are panicked, go and tell them that I am safe and sound, they don't need to panic, just keep their duties."

"Yes, Li Xiang!"

"The Assassins?" Li Ze looked at Zhang Xun and asked.

"After confessing, Dungey cut off his head." Chapter Follower.

"The owner of that inn and the guys?"

"The owner and the guy of the warehouse have confirmed that they have been killed, and the time of death should be yesterday." Zhang Xundao: "The two trebuchets were all dismantled, and from the perspective of manufacturing technology, they were not produced by our military workshop in the north, but should have been built by the Xiang clan after obtaining the drawings from us back then." There is still a slight gap with our latest generation of trebuchets. ”

"But it's enough for my life." Li Ze flattened his mouth, "Tell the Gaomi County Order that the owner of the warehouse and the family members of the guys should be generously compensated, and they are also unjustified, and they are affected by me." ”

"Gaomi County Ling Ma You is now waiting outside the inn." Zhang Xundao: "Li Xiang can't see him? ”

Li Ze thought for a while and shook his head: "Forget it, it's still gone, you can appease him, this person is still doing things well, and this matter has nothing to do with him." After we leave tomorrow, let him come again to deal with the aftermath, cover up the explanation outside, and say that it was an accidental fire in the inn! ”

"I see." Zhang Xundao: "Li Xiang, if this happens, do you want to continue the trip?" Further south, whether it is Wuning or Liangzhejiang, they are all newly annexed, and they are afraid that there are more people with different aspirations. ”

Li Ze smiled casually: "If something like this happens, is it difficult to do it once, and will you have a chance to do it a second time?" You still have to go where you should go, and you still have to see the people you should see. How can you mess up because of some small accidents? The itinerary remains the same, starting from Jiaozhou Port tomorrow, then going to Jiangsu, to Zhejiang, and then entering Henan through Anhui to Luoyang. ”

"Understood, then I'll go down and make arrangements." Zhang Xun bowed, turned around and left the military tent. When this kind of thing happened, he, the governor, no longer dared to be negligent about Li Ze's next itinerary, and he had to sort it out in advance from Gaomi to Jiaozhou Port.

The fire outside gradually decreased, Li Ze sat in front of the marching bed, looked at Chen Wenliang and smiled: "How is it?" It hurts a little now, right? ”

"It's a little painful!" Chen Wenliang said honestly.

"It hurts for a few days." Li Zedao: "Those military newspapers have been burned, you should have read them all, tell me what the situation is!" It doesn't matter what happens on Luoyang's side, what's the situation on the right Jin Wuwei's side? ”

"The military report jointly signed by Han Qi and Xue Chong only said that everything was being implemented according to the predetermined plan, and Deng Jingshan had been defeated in the Battle of Jianchang, and was waiting for the second wave of the war." Chen Wenliang said.
