It was another long night, and Xu Ji didn't rest well this night, and he didn't even sleep at all.

Xu Ji was worried that no matter how perfect his plan was, it was only a hypothesis after all, and he had to take risks before he really saw the facts, and Xu Ji could not rule out that this might be a trap, and it was likely that when he stepped into the trap, he would die.

Xu Ji watched in front of the sand table all night, although it seems that the situation is calm now, but Xu Ji has a feeling that there is still a battle after all, and Xu Ji has no right to choose the battlefield, since he has lost this initiative, he can only try not to be at a disadvantage. And Xu Ji had a hunch that if he wanted to find and solve the thief who had disappeared recently, it would not be a simple matter. Even if you want to take down these guys with the help of Dian Wei, you must have to put a lot of effort into it, not to mention that it is impossible for you to watch Xu Ji do this, considering the possible constraints of your own, Xu Ji has to be cautious, now there is no certainty of victory, you can only be more careful, otherwise a wrong step is a wrong step, not to mention whether you can still get control of your own self, it is likely that you will die in your own place, and they can find a name killed by thieves to deal with the past, Xu Ji didn't think that Zhang Miao would react because of how he was, and even Zhang Miao might wish that Xu Ji would die immediately.

It was such worries that made Xu Ji have to be strong and carefully observed, he couldn't let go of any possibility, the possibility of winning. And there are only two places in Jiwu that can hide people, either the county seat of Jiwu, or the mountain not far from Daying.

However, it is not a person who is familiar with geography to lead the way, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to find these guys, not to mention that this mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, but to say that supply is a big problem, no one knows whether it is safe in this mountain. And the reason why Xu Ji excluded Jiwu County is very simple, he must go to Jiwu County, and the officials of Jiwu County will naturally not risk hiding these people under Xu Ji's nose, this post supervisor is prestigious, and no one wants to test whether his ability is as powerful as rumored.

However, Xu Ji actually never planned to solve his own problems in the county seat at all, these officials are not stupid, they are all experts in kung fu on the surface, and it is a fool's dream to find flaws in this kind of person, at least Xu Ji thinks that he does not have this ability, but outside the officialdom, then this gang of guys who can only play with power and scheming will not be taken into account by a hundred Xu Ji.

And Xu Ji naturally didn't talk about these things to anyone, but Guo Jia already knew about them. This is Xu Ji's consistent thinking, simplifying difficulties and then solving them, which is called what a wise man does. And the person who can solve complex problems is not necessarily a wise man, but the person who can simplify the trouble is. This is also the principle that Guo Jia agrees with and believes in, Guo Jia is originally lazy and naturally impatient with trouble, so Xu Ji's principle is very much in line with his ideas.

And just when Xu Ji was worried about himself, Xun You met with a person who surprised him very much, that is, Xun Chen, who promised Guo Jia to visit Xu Ji. After a few days of delay, Xun Chen finally came to Yu County, and what he saw and heard in Yu County also successfully aroused his curiosity, because the living conditions of the people of Yu County were even better than the people of Zhi Yingyin, and the people praised this "Little Governor Post Adult", and this title also made Xun Chen laugh, what is small and big, it is really a bit funny, but the so-called word of mouth, being praised must have some ability.

To his disappointment, Xu Ji had already led his troops to Jiwu for a few days, and he only saw Xun You, his nephew. Xun You naturally received Xun Chen with the etiquette of the younger generation, and Xun Chen also understood that his nephew, who was not very close, was using this to convey him

will not talk to Xun Chen about political affairs, Xun Chen naturally will not be bored and deliberately want to talk about these with him, but Xun Chen will naturally knock on the side or something, but Xun Yu naturally knows what he should say and what he should not say.

And the most embarrassing result is that Xun Chen found that his nephew was not as wooden as he imagined, and even worthy of the evaluation of great wisdom and foolishness, Xun Chen was really curious, he was only seven or eight years old when he saw this nephew, and now he has been crowned for a year, but he only saw his extraordinary, once Xun Chen thought that this nephew was only afraid that he was dull, but he did not expect him to grow up to this point.

And Xun You naturally didn't feel anything, speaking of which, it was only Xun Yu who had a good relationship with him in the clan, and he didn't have much interest in accompanying this so-called uncle Xun You, if it weren't for Xun Chen in the name of visiting Xu Ji, Xun You wouldn't even plan to meet Xun Chen. However, after all, he still didn't do this in the relationship with the Xun family, and between Xun Chen's temptations, Xun You also vaguely sensed that his uncle seemed to be quite curious about Xu Ji. But Xun You didn't know Xun Chen's purpose yet, so naturally he wouldn't say anything important, so Xun Chen, who was talking about it, didn't get any useful news after all.

However, Xun Chen learned at least one thing, that is, his nephew identified Xu Ji, and this only made him more curious, whether it was Xun Yu or Guo Jia, it was just that he could even agree with his nephew, so Xu Ji would definitely not be simple.

However, no matter how curious Xun Chen was, it was impossible for him to find out more, and Xun Chen did not plan to return to Yingyin before meeting Xu Ji, and Xun You did not leave him to live in his own mansion, but placed him in a post house. Xun Chen had a lot of complaints about this, but Xun Yu completely ignored him.

Speaking of Xu Ji's side, on the second day, Gao Shun saw Xu Ji depressed and knew that his father-in-law was probably sleepless all night, and he came to inform Xu Ji that Dian Wei had woken up. However, Xu Ji's appearance really made Gao Shun a little uneasy, but Xu Ji just waved his hand to say that it didn't matter. What Xu Ji cares about most now is whether he can make Dian Wei use for him, and only through Dian Wei's help can Xu Ji solve his own problems in another way. This is also a helpless move, this time Xu Ji put himself in the open, Jiwu must have been prepared, he can't start from the inside like when he was in Yuxian, and Jiwu doesn't have the same conditions as Yuxian for Xu Ji to use.

With these considerations in mind, Xu Ji abandoned his usual methods. In today's predicament, there is only one way to take the road of Dian Wei, otherwise there are only two choices to face, one is to take the risk of turning his face with Zhang Miao and forcibly take it back, and the other is to stay in his own place for a few days and return to Yu County. And these two paths were not what Xu Ji wanted, so Xu Ji went to see Dian Wei again in person, despite his sleepless night.

And when Dian Wei woke up, what he saw was Xu Ji waiting for him at the door, which frightened him, no matter how Xu Ji was also the post supervisor, but now it was someone who was waiting for him

Although Dian Wei is a rough man with a violent temper, he is not a fool, and when he saw this, he didn't want to do anything, so he immediately bowed down and accused: "I don't want to make the post superintendent wait for a long time, and the crime of the grass people is also." ”

Xu Ji was very indifferent to Dian Wei's attitude, he stepped forward and said: "Xu Ji has just arrived, I can't say that I have waited for a long time, is the strong man okay in our army?" ”

Dian Wei naturally wouldn't say that it was bad, people were in charge of wine and meat, even if it was a life-saving grace, he had thanked him, and Gao Shun kept himself in the camp mostly because the post supervisor really wanted to work for him. But Dian Wei also has his own considerations, this young post inspector naturally looks promising, but at present, he may not be able to deal with this gang of bastard officials, Dian Wei naturally will not joke with his net worth and future, the so-called Zhi En Tu Bao, since this post supervisor will repay him in the future, it is really impossible to take his life with a brain fever for a while.

Therefore, Dian Wei's answer is still well-founded with a faint distance: "Thank you for your hospitality, it is naturally excellent." At this point, Dian Wei stopped. Xu Ji naturally could understand that Dian Wei had actually rejected Xu Ji again, but Xu Ji would not give up, after all, he had already added Dian Wei to his plan, and Xu Ji was not a person who gave up lightly, so Xu Ji spoke again: "Dian Zhuangshi really doesn't want to stay and work for me?" ”

Dian Wei smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The adult is a county governor at a young age, so it is naturally worth serving, but the future of the adult may not be smooth sailing, Dian Wei still has a family to take care of, and the grace of the adult's knowledge of Dian Wei is naturally remembered by Dian Wei, but this thing is really ......."

Although Dian Wei didn't say it, Xu Ji knew what he meant, and Dian Wei was not optimistic about Xu Ji. And Xu Ji naturally can't say that it's wrong, it is true that he is now in a lot of trouble and predicament, and even the trouble that can only be solved by relying on Dian Wei in front of him, but because of this, Xu Ji can't give up Dian Wei more and more: "Dian Zhuang, don't you think I will be defeated?" ”

Dian Wei shook his head and nodded again: "I'm a rough person, I can't say whether the adults can win, but I vaguely feel that there is little hope." What's more, the lord is just supervising the post after all, after all, there is still Lord Taishou......" Dian Wei once again did not finish his words. But Xu Ji fully understands Dian Wei's worries, this man is not a rough man, at least his mind is meticulous, these things are insignificant to a hunter or a ranger, but Dian Wei can notice it, which is enough to show that he is still concerned about Chen Liu's situation, even if he doesn't know it all, but at least he understands it roughly, and Xu Ji feels that such a person is extremely tricky, this is a person with his own demands, if he can't provide him with what he wants, No matter what, he will never choose to work for him easily.

Xu Ji smiled bitterly, Gao Shun also smiled bitterly, Dian Wei was expressionless and looked low eyebrows, but Xu Ji felt that this guy was like a hedgehog, and he had nowhere to start.

Could it be that this trip was really in vain?
