There is a small town hundreds of miles south of Handan, and the town is called Lijiabao.

This Li Jiabao is where the Li ancestral temple of Zhao County is located, and the foundation of his family is in Li Jiabao.

Lijiabao is located in the plain area, it is a dock fort, there is a market outside the dock fort, it looks plain and bland, ordinary, it is similar to the dock fort manor of most of the clans in the Central Plains, there is no luxury, no prosperity, because there is no location to rush, the terrain is not dangerous, even not as good as the market like the locust tree market, not at all like the residence of a super-first-class family.

However, this small dock fort is an important place in Handan Town.

No matter how the city changes the banner of the king, Handan Town is thousands of miles away, and only the Li family is in charge, and it has been the case for thousands of years.

The center of power is not in the county guard's mansion, not in the Jingbian military camp, but in a blue brick courtyard in the depths of Lijiabao, which is built next to the ancestral shrine and is the meeting hall of the Li family in Zhao County.

Without the cooperation of Zhao Jun Li, it is impossible for any government to be politically harmonious in Handan Town, which is different from the ancient China of Du Rui's previous life, at that time, even in the Wei and Jin dynasties, when the family gate valve was the most powerful, it was impossible for the local wealthy clan to confront the central power, if the central government was willing to lose for a moment and concentrate on dealing with the family gate valve, no matter how powerful the family was, it would rain and blow away.

This world is different, because there is a strong military presence.

Within a few generations, there must be a great master, and the family of door valves that has been inherited for thousands of years has a heritage that is not known to outsiders, so even the government will be jealous of such a family of door valves, and can only be treated with tenderness, and cannot take a tough attitude.

Of course, this is not absolute.

At the beginning, when the Queen of Heaven was in the court, there was a family that stood on the opposite side of the Queen of Heaven and competed for power with the Queen of Heaven, and that family had a great master, so it was very arrogant, thinking that the Queen of Heaven did not dare to turn her face.

Therefore, the family acted more unscrupulously.

But I didn't want to, but the details were clearly explored by the prison division under the hands of the Queen of Heaven, and after determining the whereabouts of the great grandmaster, the Queen of Heaven led a group of cronies to raid the secret realm of the family, controlled the portal of the secret realm, and set up a dragon lock array, locking the great grandmaster in the secret realm, so that he could not break through the void and leave the secret realm, and then, the queen of heaven fought with the great grandmaster in the secret realm.

This battle, the battle of life and death, cannot be avoided.

In that battle, the Great Grandmaster fell, and the powerful armed forces of that family were completely eradicated by the Queen of Heaven and ceased to exist, and a family that had been inherited for two thousand years and whose strength was not inferior to Zhaojun Li perished.

This incident taught a lesson to all the Yipin families, that is, the cunning rabbit is still three holes.

Therefore, don't put your eggs in one basket at any time, no matter what, don't let outsiders know your own reality, and the whereabouts of the Great Grandmaster must not be known to outsiders.

This is also the reason why the great master of the Fanyang Lu family, who came from the top of Mount Tai's Jade Emperor, rarely stops in Mount Tai, and often wanders around the rivers and lakes incognito.

As a weapon with strategic deterrence, it must not be the first to surface.

Zhao Jun Li also absorbed this lesson, you must know that at that time, Zhao Jun Li had a very good relationship with the family that was destroyed by the Queen of Heaven, and they were in-laws with each other, and when the family opposed the Queen of Heaven, Zhao Jun Li was also ready to move, but because the family has always been low-key, he did not go to be the first bird, and he was not very conspicuous in the anti-Queen Alliance.

Now, Zhao Junli has brought Gou's tactics into full play.

It is easy not to offend people, he is not strong at all, he has a good relationship with all aspects, and he is only focused on developing in Handan Town, but whether it is ruling Handan, Zhao Jun Li adopts a cooperative attitude, at least, on the surface, secretly, he will also react to the actions of the government, and there are many domineering guys who can't stay in Handan Town for a long time.

Every Handan Shou, before he left Chang'an, his information had already appeared on the desk of the Li patriarch of Zhao County.

This time, it's no exception.

Regarding the information about Du Rui and Zheng Cheng, two months ago, when the snow had not yet fallen on the land of Hebei, it appeared on the desk of Li Dan, the current patriarch of the Li family, and for this reason, several meetings were also held in the council hall.

The Li family's meeting hall is like a court meeting in the court, but compared with the big court meeting twice a month, the meeting of the Li family's meeting hall is more frequent, once every five days, and at this time, the principals of the thirteen halls must attend.

Of course, there are exceptions.

If there is an emergency, the council hall will meet on an ad hoc basis.

Li Lancheng walked through the courtyard of Gu Bai Sensen, the blue brick ground under his feet was spotless, the sun fell, blocked by the branches and leaves of the treetops, and occasionally the fish that slipped through the net, forming mottled light and shadow on the ground, as soon as the wind blew, the courtyard was rustling, the light and shadow swayed, and it came into the eyes, sometimes dark, sometimes brilliant.

Standing in front of the steps, Li Lancheng stopped and looked up at the plaque above.

"The Council Hall!"

The gold characters on a black background are simple and unpretentious, and the family style of the Li family in Zhaojun is the same, low-key and not luxurious.

Taking a deep breath, Li Lancheng stepped up the steps and entered the council hall with small steps.

In the council hall, the thirteen hall directors have all been seated, the patriarch Li Dan is sitting on the main seat, the discussion is a serious matter, but the atmosphere in the council hall is not tense, from time to time someone is talking in a low voice, and some people are talking to each other, seeing Li Lancheng come in, there are other hall directors who are lower in age than him and get up to bow to him and say hello.

He smiled and saluted one by one, and at the same time, bowed to those who were higher in rank than him.

The hall was full of people, but it was orderly, not as noisy as a bazaar, and after Li Lancheng bowed to his father Li Dan, who was sitting in the hall, the hall was quiet.

This is an ad hoc meeting.

The reason why there was an impromptu meeting was related to the latest information that Li Lancheng had received before.

The new Handan Shou, the Jingbian Military Festival Envoy, and the Zhao King Du Rui were not as described in previous intelligence, nor was they a mascot sent to Handan by the emperor, nor were they a banner that had no practical use.

The emperor decided to let Du Rui out of the town of Handan, and after Zheng Cheng was the deputy envoy, the next day, the Li family of Zhaojun got a letter from Chang'an City.

Yes, the government has an order, the rune array can only be controlled by the imperial court, and the people are not allowed to set up the rune array privately, which cannot be done during the Taizong and Tianhou dynasties, and it has been repeatedly banned, and it is even more of a joke in this era of declining imperial power.

At that time, Du Rui's situation was also on the Li family's desk.

It's just that the Li family's attention is on Zheng Cheng.

Zheng Chengqi's person, what is his background, what is his personality, and how does he act...... From his poor period in Xingyang, then in Bailu Academy, all the way to being an official in Chang'an City, little by little, it was synthesized, and finally, an opinion was formed.

So, how to deal with Zheng Cheng, the Li family also had several coping plans.

As for Du Rui, although he also collects intelligence, he doesn't pay attention to it.

Most people think that Du Rui is a pawn placed on the table by the emperor, and it must be Zheng Cheng who really does things, after all, this is a teenager, and he was still a demented child before the age of ten.

Of course, some of Du Rui's things in Chang'an City were also known by the Li family.

For example, killing Assassins in the bazaar.

For example, I like to hang out with children in the market.

For example, after leaving the Yellow Dragon Secret Realm, he gained the attention of the emperor, and changed from Handan Jun to King Zhao, so it seems that he had an adventure in the Yellow Dragon Secret Realm...... The Li family doesn't have much control over this situation, although Zhao Jun Li has spies in Chang'an City, he still doesn't dare to make a mistake after all, and he doesn't dare to put too much strength there, and the center of gravity of the Foreign Affairs Hall has always been north of the river.

However, according to common sense, no matter how talented a ten-year-old boy is, no matter how adventures he is, even if he is born into the world, his strength is still limited after all, and it may be worth paying attention to in time, but now, he doesn't need to care too much.

However, after Li Lancheng received the specific situation today, he found that Du Rui should not be underestimated, and the person worthy of attention should not be Zheng Cheng, but Du Rui, the king of Zhao, who seems to be a banner.

Therefore, he used his power to call for an emergency meeting.

Although his father was the patriarch, he couldn't do anything.

Any big family, even if it is dedicated to the outside world, it is impossible to be monolithic internally, there is still a struggle for power and profit, the larger the family, the more populous, the more so, of course, all the fights are within the scope of the rules, there are few out-of-the-ordinary actions, otherwise, this Zhaojun Li family will not be able to inherit for thousands of years.

Li Dan was not in Lijiabao yesterday, but in Julu Town, thousands of miles away, he received a letter from Li Lancheng, so he rushed back to Handan to preside over this family meeting.

The letter is short, and it is impossible to go into great detail.

Therefore, it is the first time he has heard about what happened in Huaishuji yesterday.

Zhao Wang Du Rui is a master!

It is possible to be a strong person at the level of a grandmaster!

It sounds a bit bizarre, like a joke......

However, Li Dan didn't think it was a joke, you know, about the situation of the white skull, the Li family is much clearer than the group of outsiders in the Jingbian Army, knowing that its core strength is the regular army from Fan Yang, and the Fu warriors are one of the core combat forces of the Fan family.

Team leader Qin Guang!

Qin Guangnai is an innate powerhouse of the seal carving rune array, and an ordinary innate martial artist is not an opponent.

Such a person led the team, and there were three other commanders, a total of thousands of horses, but they were defeated by only a dozen people, but there were only three people who really shot, a little monk, a noble son, and a congenital swordsman from Huashan Sword Gate.

Fantastic!

If you change to yourself, you can also defeat those horse bandits, however, you are a strong grandmaster, that is to say, if these three join forces, you can fight with yourself, of course, this conversion is a bit rough.

All in all, this Du Rui should not be underestimated.

You have to pay attention to it!
