The Governor's Mansion of Tangzhou City, August 13 is not full. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yijiang has always been restless these days, and his right eyelid has jumped, which makes him irritable, and he has to take a piece of white paper and paste it to finish. He scolded a few bad words, and complained to the staff who accompanied him to the south: "The south is really a ghost place, and I haven't encountered anything pleasant since I came." ”

The staff smiled and said: "Uncle don't need to be too anxious, it's not surprising that the southerners are a little resistant to us." After a pause, he smiled and said: "The big drama is in Jiangbei, and I don't know how the Wen family is singing?" ”

Li Yijiang slowly rubbed his right eyebrows, and said with some schadenfreude: "There is a way that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention that the Southern Barbarian loves to hold a group the most, who does he think he is?" If you want to fight the big households in the two provinces alone, could it be that your head was squeezed through the door? ”

At this time, there was a crisp knock on the door outside: "Uncle, it's time for dinner......"

Li Yijiang listened to it and said with a wry smile: "It's night again, this day has passed like this?" What a waste of time...... "He knew that his family sent a bloody assassination to assassinate Qin Lei, and he might be subjected to the crazy revenge of Qin Lei's remnants, so in addition to just arriving in Tangzhou Mansion and taking away Qiao Yuanshan and Xu Tancheng's Great Seal by Holy Decree, he lived in the heavily guarded Governor's Mansion and never showed up again.

Usually a person who is afraid of death will not live too short, unless someone is bent on killing him and has the ability to put it into practice.

Waiting for the dishes to be put on the table, it is Li Yijiang's favorite Chinese dish, the style is complicated, keep improving, and more than a dozen things are placed on a full table. But no matter how good the delicacy is, you must have an appetite to taste, Li Yijiang has been eating one meal after another in the house all day long, and he is inactive, so he naturally loses his appetite, and his spirit is a little sluggish, looking at a table of greasy and he doesn't want to eat a bite.

He said to the staff who was waiting for him to put down his chopsticks: "You eat first, I'm a little out of appetite." After instructing the kitchen to bring some snacks, he got up and went to the inner room to rest.

When he was gone, the staff guarded a table full of dishes and ate happily.

Not long after Li Yijiang closed his eyes, he heard the sound of chopsticks falling to the ground outside, followed by a muffled bang, and then there was no sound. Although he has been pampered for many years, he is also a veteran of the bloody battle seventeen years ago, and coupled with his terrifying bloodline, it seems that he has a natural instinct for danger.

Li Yijiang didn't say anything, and he didn't go out to check immediately. He got up silently, took off the soft armor hanging from the head of the bed and put it on. When I wore it, I realized that the armor that still fit well in Kyori was already a little tight. He was still in the mood to blame himself, he was too lazy after going south, which shows that Li Hun's species is a little different.

After putting on it, he picked up the sword on the table, came to the wall lightly, opened the curtain with the tip of the sword, and squinted out, only to see the staff lying on the ground with his back to the sky, his face was bruised, and he was foaming at the mouth, looking to be poisoned.

Only then did he take a deep breath and howl loudly, "Someone! There are assassins! Before he could finish speaking, several crossbows shot through the curtain of the door, and all of them were nailed to the opposite cabinet. Li Yijiang glanced at the crossbow arrows glowing with a faint blue light, and jumped to the highest level of danger of the enemy in his heart.

Suddenly, the window behind him slammed and shattered, and two men in black leaped in from the window as the wood debris sprayed inward. Just as he involuntarily looked back behind him, two black-clad assassins rushed through the door.

The Assassins, who rushed through the door, swept their eyes across the room, but saw no one, and immediately understood where their target was, and immediately bent down and rolled forward, trying to get as far away as possible from the wall behind them.

When a black-clad assassin on the left stood up facing the wall, he found his companion lying on the ground.

With a click, the black-clothed assassin's pupils shrank, and when he looked up, he saw a burly bearded man, standing by the wall like a mountain, looking at himself with contempt on his face, and the sword in his hand was dripping with blood.

At this time, the other two Assassins were already standing, and the three of them looked at each other, and then rushed forward with their swords raised, leaving only a small wound on the target's body, and the poison on the blade would paralyze the target, or even kill it.

Li Yijiang didn't leave the wall, just stood like that, just raised the sword in his hand horizontally.

The three sharp blades stabbed at the top of the middle and the bottom almost at the same time, but Li Yijiang could clearly see their order, and a lightning sword slashed the bottom blade. The scabbard of the left hand was handed out at the same time, just blocking the way of the upper one. The sword in his right hand slammed upwards again, swinging open the middle one.

This split, a block, and a flirt, was completed in just one breath, and it looked like it was a god that unleashed the attack of three sharp blades at the same time, and made the person on the right reveal a lot of space. The body's reaction was faster than the brain, and the sword in Li Yijiang's hand reached out like a snake, instantly hit the throat of the person on the right, and then retracted it, protecting the front of him again.

The assassin clutched his throat and gurgled before falling limply to the ground. The other two Assassins looked at each other with a hesitation, then turned back in unison, looking like they were about to flee. Li Yijiang was willing to let go of this good opportunity, and the sword stabbed out like lightning, with his rich combat experience, this sword could be slashed into the back of the assassin on the right, but it could not cause fatal injuries.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the assassin forcibly stopped castration and froze in place. Li Yijiang was caught off guard, and the sword easily pierced the assassin's shoulder. The assassin wailed, and instead of breaking free from the sword, he took a sharp step back in the direction of Li Yijiang, and the sword stabbed seven inches harder, and he couldn't pull it out.

Li Yijiang hurriedly withdrew his sword, and another assassin's hidden arrow also shot over, hitting him in the chest. Li Yijiang only felt a sudden shock in his chest, a sweet throat, and almost vomited blood. And the sleeve arrow also clanged and fell to the ground, not piercing Li Yijiang's armor.

The assassin's sharp blade immediately stabbed head-on, Li Yijiang's chest was churning with blood and blood, and his arm could not exert force, so he had to turn sideways to let go of the blow, ran to the window in two steps, and jumped out.

Before he landed, several sharp blades slashed at him, Li Yijiang roared, hugged himself into a group, and took this wave of attacks with his back, and at the same time, with this fierce momentum, he jumped more than a foot away, and actually broke out of the encirclement.

Li Yijiang's almost desperate blow really calmed the assassins, they stared at Li Yijiang who was gasping for breath like a monster, and if they hadn't seen the blood left on his neck, they would have given up this carefully planned assassination.

Feeling the heat coming from the back of his neck, Li Yijiang sighed in his heart, knowing that Bao Jia still didn't completely protect himself after all. He began to feel a little blurry in his vision, and slapped his cheek fiercely, and miraculously came to his senses again.

The Assassins looked at each other, the poison on their blades could paralyze people's bodies in a very short period of time. I have never seen someone slap themselves and be able to regain their spirits, even if they are hostile, they have to sigh that the Li family has a beast-like and strong body.

Taking advantage of the assassin's stunned moment, Li Yijiang's gaze quickly swept around, only to find that there were scenes of fighting everywhere, his guards and the assassins in black were fighting silently, even if the gold and iron were combined, there was no sound, and it looked very weird.

Then I saw the guards with their mouths wide open in pain, their necks flushed, but they were still screaming silently. He realized that he was deaf.

The Assassins were well aware of the effects of their poison, and when they saw the confusion on Li Yijiang's face, they knew that something was wrong with his ears. The Assassins immediately scattered and fled in all directions at once.

Li Yijiang only had a scabbard in his hand, and he couldn't hear the footsteps behind him, so he had to grit his teeth to suppress the churning qi and blood, and rushed in the direction close to his subordinates. There was only one thought in his heart: to be faster, faster, and never stop!

When the two Assassins saw him rushing towards him with his scabbard in hand, they slashed their swords to block his way. Before the assassin could unleash his move, the scabbard in Li Yijiang's hand flew out, hitting the forehead of the one on the left, slamming it to the ground. Li Yi Jiang Hu roared, and rubbed his body out of the smashed air, and the speed was even faster than when he was injured.

As soon as he took two steps, he felt a pain in his back, and then several crossbow arrows were shot at his back, and those crossbow arrows still did not pierce his armor, but they beat him out of control, and he staggered out.

Almost at the same time, four more crossbow arrows were shot into his legs, and blood gushed out from his right leg, Li Yijiang could no longer stand, and fell to his knees on the ground, his arms supporting the ground, gasping for breath.

The Assassins were overjoyed and rushed to the front, all trying to steal the first prize. Just when seven or eight assassins surrounded him and were about to cut off his head, Li Yijiang was suddenly injured and screamed like a beast, pulled out the four crossbow arrows behind his legs, held two in one hand, and jumped forward violently.

Li Yijiang's front was finally open, and his guards had already opened a bloody path, less than two feet away from him. Li Yijiang staggered and ran a few steps, and suddenly fell straight and fell out, falling to the ground with a bang. And in the back of his head, there is a feather arrow that has been trembling.

The leader of the Assassins, who had been holding back, finally fired a deadly arrow.

The assassins looked at Li Yijiang's huge body lying on the ground, but they didn't dare to step forward to check it. The leader of the assassins scolded rubbish, and a big bird swept through the field, and when he reached Li Yijiang's side, he raised his knife to behead him.

The leader's steel knife slashed down with all his strength and slashed at Li Yijiang's neck, but he felt a huge resistance, and the knife cut in half, and he could no longer advance a single bit. The leader of the assassins was shocked in his heart, and quickly retreated, but it was too late!

The blood killing was trained by the Li family, and the blood killing will be a dying blow, and Li Yijiang has no reason why he won't.

Li Yijiang on the ground suddenly jumped up like a corpse, only to see a steel knife stuck in his neck, and a crossbow arrow at the back of his neck, covered in blood, like a ghost, bluffing the assassin leader on the spot, before he could react, he was held by Li Yijiang with one hand on his shoulder and his jaw with the other, accompanied by an earth-shattering shout, the head of the assassin leader was torn off, and only a trace of skin was connected to the neck.

When the blood gushed out, Li Yijiang used his last strength to open his eyes a little slit, and took a look at the blood-colored world, only then did he fall back and no longer move.

Until the assassins were strangled cleanly, they didn't dare to take a step closer to Li Yijiang, who was lying on the ground......

Qin Lei handed the letter back to Shen Bing, and sighed lightly: "Three hundred assassins were sent at a time, infiltrated from the secret passage of the Governor's Palace, and if the poison failed, he attacked brazenly regardless of his life, completely dragging the Li family guards with his life, and then exchanging his life for Li Yijiang's life." After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, he said softly, "Even if you are alone, the chance of escaping under the sword of this group of assassins will not exceed one percent. ”

Shen Bing hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Lord Wang, which assassin do you think this is?" Qin Lei smiled and said: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly, and Hugh will sell Guanzi." ”

Shen Bing's expression remained unchanged, and he replied: "So many people can sneak into the city quietly and find the secret passage of the Governor's Palace, which is obviously not something that Qi Chu's secret spies can do. And our Great Qin can do this, except for Lord Taiwei, there is only one person. ”

Qin Lei shook his head to stop him from continuing to think, and said in a deep voice: "There's no need to speculate on this, we just need to know two things, first, Li Yijiang is dead; Second, we were in big trouble after we returned to Beijing. ”

Shen Bing finally said what he had swallowed, and said softly: "Lord Wang, what my subordinates mean is that there are at least two characters in the Central Capital City who can destroy us at will; And if we leave the south, without the full support of the Zhennan army and the southern gentry and common people, it will be like a fish leaving the water and the tree leaving the soil, and it will be difficult to compete with those deep-rooted forces in Beijing. Why not ......"

Qin Lei glanced at him lightly and chuckled, "Why don't you stay in the south and say that you are sick?" ”

"Well, that's what the subordinates mean, please three or four princes." Shen Bing finally said what was going on in his mind. This is not only Shen Bing's opinion, Shi Kang and Shi Yong also think so, the three of them exchanged opinions while waiting for Qin Lei, and finally discussed that Shen Bing would say something to Qin Lei.

Qin Lei's face remained unchanged, and he said softly: "Lone will ask you a few questions, and then we will discuss whether to go back." ”

Shen Bing nodded and said softly, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

"Was the South stronger seventeen years ago or stronger now?"

As soon as Qin Lei mentioned the sensitive figure of seventeen years, Shen Bing understood, and he said in a low voice: "Seventeen years ago, it was stronger. "Seventeen years ago was the heyday of national power in the past century, and the Grand Canal was not as useless as it is today. And now there are thousands of holes and wastes waiting to be rebuilt, where can it be compared to the past.

Qin Lei knew that Shen Bing was an extremely introverted guy, but his position determined that he considered the problem from Qin Lei's point of view, so the overall situation was a little worse. It's a matter of height, not of ability. Seeing the look on his face, Qin Lei asked again, "Where do you think Great Qin Qiang is?" ”

"Strong!" The people of the Qin State will say this answer without thinking, and Shen Bing is no exception.

Seeing his proud look, Qin Lei couldn't help but say, "Then where are all these strong soldiers?" How many more did the South occupy? How many can we master? ”

Shen Bing's face turned red and said: "The 200,000 forbidden army in Zhongdu, the 300,000 Dongding Eastern Army in the East, and the 200,000 Zhennan Army." After a pause, he said again: "We can't control any of them." "Don't look at the Zhennan Army's obedience to Qin Lei, like a command, but as long as Qin Lei shows the slightest tendency to split, he dares to guarantee that Bo Xian will wave his army north as soon as possible and tear Qin Lei to pieces.

It doesn't matter what kind of friendship there is, just because once Great Qin causes this de facto split, it is more practical to think about going east to the south and taking the next step, or obediently waiting to be divided between the two countries. This was something that Marshal Bo Cheng, who had made it his mission to go south, could not tolerate.

Qin Lei saw that cold sweat was oozing from Shen Bing's forehead, and knew that he completely understood, so he didn't ask any more questions, opened the car window, looked at the enchanting rivers and mountains outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "Where the general trend of the world is, it will be united for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, and the wars and strife of the two hundred and fifty years after the Tang Dynasty have made all countries tired, full of contradictions, and the people of the world are determined, and this division is about to come to an end." At this time, the combination is the general trend, and those who go against the soup of the avenue will die. Any attempt to split is against the tide and will lead to rebellion and a good end. ”

Shen Bing bowed his head and was taught.

A cool breath blew in through the car window, which lifted the spirits of the two of them, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces.

After leaving for eighty days, Qin Lei finally returned to the place where he started, which would also be the starting point of another part of his journey.
