"Lord, according to these people's confessions, someone gave them 500,000 yuan and asked them to shoot us all here." When Han Lie drove his horse to him, Zhao Yun raised his gun and escorted a burly man with a black beard to Han Lie and said, "This person is the leader of these people, how to deal with it, please decide the lord." ”

"A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life." The black-bearded man peeked at Han Lie on horseback, and just when he saw Han Lie's cold glance, he shuddered and fell directly to the ground.

"Half a million dollars? What a big deal. Han Lie smiled playfully and said lightly: "Tell me, how much is your life worth, if the price is right, General Ben may be able to spare your life." ”

"One hundred thousand ......" As soon as the black-bearded man spoke, Han Lie said coldly: "Pull it down and cut it." ”

"No, no, I don't want it, I'll give it all to you, I'll give it all to you." When the black-bearded man heard this, he was so frightened that he pounced on him, hugging Han Lie's horse legs and shouting.

"Looks like you're still a miser." Han Lie looked at the scoundrel in front of him, and said coldly: "Five million dollars, chop off a finger for one less, and twenty for less, and General Ben will chop off your head." ”

"I'm out, I'm out ......" Before the black-bearded man finished speaking, he let out a miserable scream again, it turned out that Han Lie's war horse suspected him of holding his leg, and kicked out with a hoof in dissatisfaction, hitting this guy's stomach, and a painful cold sweat broke out.

"Very good, after Zilong returns to the city, you follow him to get the money, remember to have one less son, and cut off one finger." Han Lie nodded with satisfaction, and while driving the horse forward, he said to Dian Wei: "Brother Dian bothers you to bring a few heads back, since someone wants my head, then I will return a few to him." ”

"Whoa!" In the battle just now, Dian Wei Zhao Yun killed more than a dozen people with a shot, so there was no shortage of human heads on the ground at this time.

After leaving Zhao Yun to escort the gang back to the city with five personal soldiers, Han Lie and Dian Wei drove straight to Beihai.

Although these people confessed that they were hired, they didn't know the identity of the other party who instructed them, which was not surprising to Han Lie, and the other party was not a fool, and he definitely wouldn't expose himself before he got his hands on it.

And Han Lie didn't want to investigate who wanted his own life, in his opinion, this was just a means for the other party to be afraid of himself, since the other party was already afraid, he didn't care about letting the other party continue to be afraid.

Knowing that Han Lie had returned to Beihai, Kong Rong immediately held a banquet to welcome him, and at the beginning of the lanterns, the officials of Beihai gathered in the banquet hall of Xiangguo's mansion, which could be described as full of friends.

Han Lie and Dian Wei took a bath in the post station, and changed into Han Lie, who was dressed in a brocade robe and a white robe, with a scarf wrapped around his head.

However, Dian Wei who followed was indeed another dress, wearing a beast-faced head swallowing chain armor, although his head was also wrapped in a scarf, but he was burly and tall, with a body of armor of thirty-four pounds, a double iron halberd inserted in the north, and a ring head knife hanging on his waist.

Just when the two of them walked into the courtyard, Kong Rong, who was sitting on the main seat, had already seen Han Lie and the others come in, and in order to show his hospitality, Kong Rong got up and greeted him: "Ziyang is here, take a seat." ”

"I've seen you." Han Lie bowed calmly and continued to walk forward, while Dian Wei, who was one step behind Han Lie, was carrying a cloth bag in his right hand at this time, a bulging large bag of cloth, which attracted everyone's attention, but when Dian Wei continued to approach, when everyone saw the bright red blood stains dripping from the cloth bag, all the officials in the hall changed color.

Wu Anguo, who originally had a calm expression, couldn't help but tremble when he saw the bloody cloth bag, although when he came to the banquet, he learned the news that Han Lie had entered the city safely, and he was furious and scolded his subordinates at that time, and he was relieved when he learned that the hired people didn't know who instructed him.

But at this moment, seeing the blood-dripping cloth bag in Dian Wei's hand, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Han Lie with a little flicker, trying to see something from the other party's face, but Han Lie, who had a calm face, even had a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was nothing.

"Ziyang, what do you mean?" Kong Rong's face also asked with a slight unhappiness, in his opinion, he specially held a banquet to entertain Han Lie today, which can be said to be enough to save face, but Han Lie let his subordinates carry blood bags to the hall, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

"Brother Dian, let you adults take a look, there are people you know." Facing Kong Rong's questioning, Han Lie apologized and said: "The little nephew was ambushed by gangsters outside the city today and almost died, according to the gangsters' confession, it was someone in Beihai City who instructed them to ambush the little nephew, although the little nephew didn't dare to believe it, but he didn't dare not believe it, so he cut off a few heads from it for everyone to identify." ”

"Is that so?" Kong Rong changed slightly, his eyes swept over the civil and military officials present, and said: "Ziyang is my virtuous nephew, who once saved me from Beihai and water and fire, if he is really killed outside the city today, wouldn't it be a trap and injustice?" It is best to confess who did this immediately, otherwise if it is verified, the prime minister will be punished as murder. ”

Facing Kong Rong, who was fierce and inward-looking, everyone in the banquet hall lowered their heads, no one would admit it at this time, and the big guy also knew in his heart that Kong Rong was just doing this for show, and besides, this case really needs to be investigated, and it is obviously not possible to close the case in a day or two.

"Shibo, it seems that there are people in Beihai who can't tolerate a certain person, this time the little nephew came to Beihai, and he also came to say goodbye to Shibo, thank you Shibo for taking care of him these days, the little nephew is grateful, please accept the little nephew." Han Lie hadn't thought about finding out the instructor at all, although he had actually circled so many people in his heart, but for him right now, these people were just ants, how could he take it to heart.

"This, the virtuous nephew is really leaving?" Kong Rong was also stunned for a while, although he was alienated and suspicious of Han Lie because of the criticism of his subordinates, he wanted to keep Han Lie, because just the day before yesterday, he received an official document from the Qingzhou Thorn History Department, and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe died of illness.

This news is obviously a big deal for Qingzhou, Assassin Shi Jiao and Linzi in Qi County, although there has been nothing done in the past two years, but it has dragged the Yellow Turban Army many siege battles, and now Jiao He is dead, Linzi will undoubtedly be leaderless, if the Yellow Turban Army takes advantage of the situation, Linzi is likely to fall.

The reason why Beihai has been able to be stable in the past two years is of course related to Kong Rong's active defense policy of fighting hard soldiers, gathering the hearts of the people, and recruiting warriors, but if he hadn't stabbed Shi Jiao and dragged a large number of Yellow Turban forces in Linzi, he Kong Rong would not have lived so steadily in Beihai.

Han Lie can fight, Kong Rong already knew this when he was in Bishui Pass, thinking that at the beginning, there were more than 100,000 horses in the Kwantung Coalition Army, and everyone was afraid of the enemy, but Han Lie led only a few thousand patchwork men and horses to march all the way and directly entered Luoyang, which of course had reasons for the enemy's retreat, but it also showed the courage and courage of Han Lie.

And such a brave and resourceful general is undoubtedly the most lacking for Kong Rong at the moment, but he also understands that he can't stand Han Lie's thousand-mile horse, but he doesn't want to just let it go, so he will learn that Han Lie is going to leave, so he will lose his temper like this.

"I heard that the yellow turbans have gone to Yanzhou now, and there is no war in Qingzhou, and Shibo also knows that the little nephew is a martial artist, and it is really unhappy to have no fight, so the little nephew is ready to go to Yanzhou to defect to Cao Mengde, I heard that Cao Mengde has now succeeded Yanzhou Assassin Shi, presumably it is the time to employ people." Han Lie's serious words, Kong Rong listened to it but believed it, when he was in Luoyang, he knew that Cao Cao had fought side by side with Han Lie in the Battle of Bianshui, and the two had a friendship.

For Cao Mengde, the descendant of the eunuch, Kong Rong once looked down on him, but Cao Cao's performance has always been very eye-catching, from serving as the lieutenant of northern Luoyang, to crusading against the Yellow Turban, killing the Ten Standing Servants, and then to begging Dong, this guy with five short statures has always had amazing moves, and now this person has actually made the position of Yanzhou Assassin in one fell swoop.

Although Kong Rong still had some disdain on his lips, he already had a trace of awe for Cao Cao in his heart.

"The virtuous nephew has lofty ambitions, Rong knows that Beihai can't stay for a long time, if the virtuous nephew really has made up his mind, can he stay for a month, and then leave after the newly appointed Qingzhou assassin of the imperial court?" Kong Rong thought about it, but he still made a reservation, and at the same time publicized the news of Qingzhou's assassin Shi Jiaohe's death.

Hearing the news of Jiao He's death, the faces of all the officials present suddenly darkened. Xiang Wu Anguo and Liu Xun originally had some slander against Kong Rong for retaining Han Lie, but at this time they also chose to be silent, Jiao He's death will undoubtedly have a huge change in the already chaotic situation in Qingzhou.

And in just the next half a month, a major event that shocked the world also broke out in the direction of Jizhou.
