When Lu Xuanbo's order was issued, Li Shun's team was still in Anyi, Hedong, and an assassination against Li Shun's team soon entered the planning stage. However, at this time, Li Shun himself had arrived in Luoyang with two retinues.

Two days later, the assassination of Li Shun began, but in the process of preparing for the execution, the Black Guard Assassins discovered that Li Shun was not in the team, and the assassination was forced to be temporarily terminated.

The black guard immediately launched an investigation, according to the direction of the team's advance, after a few days of investigation and distribution, the senior management of the black guard thought that Li Shun might have realized the danger, so they separated from the brigade early, and they were afraid that they had arrived in Luoyang at this time.

The order quickly spread to the Luoyang Black-clothed Guard Branch, and the Luoyang Black-clothed Guard spies quickly took action, and it was likely that Li Shun came to Luoyang to meet with the lieutenants, so the black-clothed guards began to pay attention to the people who came into contact with the lieutenants, and soon discovered Li Shun.

Li Shun did not know that the black-clothed guards of Qianguo had already planned an assassination plan to assassinate him, and that morning Li Shun went to the Luoyang Town General's Mansion again to ask for a meeting with the captain.

The carriage was moving forward on the crowded street, an entourage drove the carriage, and another attendant followed the carriage on horseback, Li Shun was sitting in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the entourage on horseback seemed to feel that there was a pair of eyes staring at the rear, turned his head to look at the rear, and a figure not far away flashed into the crowd.

It wasn't long before the attendant suddenly turned his head to look behind him, and a figure flashed into the crowd again.

"Master, we're being targeted!" The retinue on horseback immediately reported.

Li Shun frowned, and pondered to himself: "Could it be someone sent by the captain?" There are not many people who know the news that the old man is here, and the people who are watching should not be Daqian, Xi Xuan, Pi Leopard and others, they don't have to do this. It is even more unlikely that it was sent by someone in the imperial court, the imperial court has reached this step, and it is precisely when the support of the feudal town is needed, and those imperial court ministers cannot be so stupid to sabotage the plan to contact the feudal town. Could it be the Southern Dynasties? Or maybe it's someone sent by the Qianguo? ”

Li Shun pondered for a while and had no clue, so he had to say to his entourage: "No matter who sent the person, let's be careful, try to go to the crowded street, and don't be alone!" If it is someone sent by the lieutenant, it should just be surveillance, and he will not send someone to openly kill the imperial envoy! ”

The attendant on horseback said, "Master, if the lieutenant wants to kill us, we can't escape if we want to, and it's useless for us to worry; The subordinates are worried that it is the people of the Southern Dynasty or the Qianguo, and once they make a move, they will not have any scruples! ”

The carriage came all the way to the town general's mansion, nothing happened halfway, the stalkers sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared, and when the carriage arrived near the town general's mansion, the stalkers never followed.

In the town general's mansion, the lieutenant was dancing a horse lance in the back garden, and the sentry outside the door came to report: "General, the imperial court envoy, Situ Li Shun asks to see!" ”

The lieutenant stopped and handed the horse lance to a soldier next to him, took a breath, wiped his sweat with a towel, and said to the sentry, "Invite him into the front hall to serve tea!" ”

"No!"

When the lieutenant came to the front hall, Li Shun's tea was almost finished, he hugged his fists and said with a smile: "I'm sorry Li Situ, it's a little delayed, let Situ wait for a long time, I'm really sorry!" ”

Li Shun got up and bowed back: "The general is busy with military and political affairs, it's okay!" ”

The captain made a gesture to Li Shun to sit down, and the two sides sat down to drink tea.

Li Shun put down the teacup and said to the captain: "When I first came to see the general that day, because I had only met the general after many years, it was inevitable that I would nag a little, and I didn't even say anything serious. ”

Wei said: "Situ doesn't say it, how does General Ben know?" ”

Li Shun was serious and said very seriously: "The old man came here this time to save the general!" ”

"Save General Ben?" Wei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Hahaha······ Situ don't scare General Ben, you have something to say, you don't need to use this means to attract the attention of this general! ”

Li Shun said indifferently: "The general thinks I want to use alarmist methods to attract the general's attention?" Then the old man told the general whether this matter was alarmist! Does the general know where he is now? The southern part of the Luoyu region under the jurisdiction of the general is the Southern Dynasty, and the general has fought many battles with them over the years, and the soldiers on both sides have suffered heavy casualties, and have formed a mortal enemy, if the general is cornered, will he choose to surrender to the Southern Dynasty? I guess the general would rather die than surrender to the Southern Dynasty, right? ”

"Besides, the east and north of the Luoyu region under the jurisdiction of the general, Jeju and Xiangju in the east, and Bingzhou in the north, Jeju and Xiangzhou are the territory of Qianguo, and now Bingzhou is gradually annexed by Qianguo, if Qianguo once moves his army south to attack Luoyu, how can the general resist? Just 20,000 horses in hand? If the old man is Zhao Junsheng, he will definitely fight Hedong first, and when Hedong is defeated, the general will only be left in Henan, and then Qianguo will send troops from the east and west at the same time, with the current national strength of Qianguo, he has this ability, I don't know how the general can resist? Ask for help from the Guanzhong Leopard? Let's not talk about whether the leopard will send troops to rescue the general, even if the general sends someone to persuade him, his soldiers and horses may not be able to pass Tongguan! ”

"Why?" Wei Su couldn't help but ask.

Li Shun said: "Doesn't the general know that Xue An, the assassin of Huazhou, is Zhao Junsheng's old department?" Didn't the general know that Xue Yongzong, the rebel who was exterminated by the general in Hedong a few years ago, was the same clan as Xue Andu? ”

It was only then that Wei Wei realized that his situation was already very dangerous, and he could no longer laugh.

Li Shun asked: "So, as long as the Qianguo is swept away and the state is merged, you can free up your hands to deal with the general, and the general will undoubtedly be defeated, and now the general still thinks that the old man is alarmist and scares you?" ”

Wei Jun was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Fang Cai Situ said that he came to save me, I don't know how to save the law?" ”

Li Shun said: "Before coming to see the general, the old man has already met Daqian, Xi and the leopard, these three have promised to be loyal to the emperor and respect the court, if the general does not want to be attacked and destroyed by the Qianguo, he can only be loyal to the emperor and respect the court, once the general agrees and expresses his allegiance and sincerity, the court will issue an edict to announce the rebellion of the Qianguo, and then the towns will jointly raise troops to fight against the Qianguo, which is the first step!" ”

"Second, the imperial court will send envoys to Rouran and the Southern Dynasties with heavy money respectively, saying that Rouran and the Southern Dynasties will send troops to attack the Qianguo together, and promise them enough benefits, they will definitely be able to send troops, and under the attack from several sides, the Qianguo will definitely not be able to resist, and if the Qianguo is destroyed, the general's predicament will be lifted!"

Wei Wei didn't expect the imperial court to have such a big plan and courage, doing so is tantamount to concentrating the strength of the whole world to deal with the Qianguo, the Qianguo is afraid that it really can't resist, no, it must not be able to resist!

This matter is too big, and the lieutenant can't make up his mind to make a choice for a while, he said: "The stakes are very high, I will think about it for a few days, and I will ask Situ to rest in the post house for a few more days, once the general has a decision, he will send someone to invite Situ to come over and discuss!" ”

Li Shun didn't expect the lieutenant to agree in person, anyone should think carefully before facing such a major choice, he said: "This is natural, the old man is waiting for the general's good news in the post house!" By the way, the old man took the liberty of asking, someone was watching behind before the old man came to see the general today, but the people sent by the general? ”

Wei Wei frowned: "If General Ben wants to know something, just ask Situ directly, how can he send him to do the stalking?" ”

Li Shun knew that there was some trouble at this time, if it wasn't someone from the Wei Dependents' faction, it could only be someone from the Southern Dynasty or the Qianguo faction! He said to the lieutenant: "If it is someone from the Southern Dynasty, then it is better, the imperial court has already sent someone to Jiankang to see the emperor of the Southern Dynasty to talk about this matter, sooner or later he will know; But if it is someone from the Qianguo side, this matter will be troublesome, the news may have leaked, the Qianguo side is sending someone to investigate the purpose of the old man to see the general, if the Qianguo side knows about the court's plan in advance, they will definitely find a way to sabotage it, so please also ask the general to make a decision as soon as possible! ”

The lieutenant also realized the seriousness of the problem, and he nodded: "Okay, General Ben will reply to Situ as soon as possible!" It seems that Situ's safety has become a problem now, so let's send a team of people to escort Situ to the post house, and stay in the post house to guard Situ for a few days! ”

Li Shun thanked him: "Thank you to the general!" In fact, when the old man came, the imperial court sent two hundred cavalry to escort along the way, just because he had to take a long detour when crossing Huazhou, so the old man let the guards go around the road, and he took two entourages to disguise themselves through Huazhou and Tongguan. ”

The lieutenant nodded, and immediately shouted outside: "Someone! ”

"What does the general command?" One by one, a building will walk in.

"Send a tooth of troops to escort Situ and a few people back to the post house, and after arriving, they will be stationed in the post house, and Situ's escort during his stay in Luoyang has been borne by them!"

"Yes!"

When the lieutenant sent Li Shun to the gate of the town guard mansion, a toothy soldier and horse had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and then the entourage waiting outside immediately came over and reported: "Master, the guards sent someone to hurry over first, saying that they were assassinated in Hedong, but the assassin suddenly withdrew halfway!" ”

Li Shun's face changed, "Where are the people?" ”

"It's in the carriage!"

Li Shun immediately walked quickly to the carriage, and the people in the carriage heard the sound and stepped out of the carriage to salute Li Shun.

"No need to be polite, tell me in detail about your assassination!"

"Yes!" The person who came to report the news immediately told the story in detail.

After this person finished speaking, the wrinkles on Li Shun's forehead deepened: "Things are not good, is it from the Southern Dynasty or from the Qianguo?" ”
