Under the leadership of several guards, Li Yunfei quickly found a Taoist temple more than ten miles away, which didn't look like a mountain dew at all, the hill was just a small hillside, and the Taoist temple was also very dilapidated, it looked very old, and it didn't look like there was any incense.

I didn't find the legendary old Taoist priest with white hair, but I saw one and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest who was very black and thin, who didn't look like a Taoist priest, but like an old farmer.

This black and thin Taoist priest seems to be just an honest man, but he doesn't look like he is lying, and Li Yunfei has no intention of arresting people and going back for interrogation, so he left directly after asking a few words.

"Lord, that person may know the whereabouts of some of the old Taoist priests, why don't you arrest people and torture them?" As soon as he came out of the Taoist temple, Thirty-Nine asked.

"No need, no matter whether that Taoist priest is a liar or not, there is no need to arrest someone!"

"Why is that?"

"If it's a lie, then it must have something to do with that strange old Taoist, for an old Taoist priest whose ability is completely unknown and has no malice, it's still not to mess with it, one more friend is countless times better than one more enemy. If we are telling the truth, then we don't need to wronged a good person for no reason. "That old Taoist priest is obviously not simple, Li Yunfei doesn't want to make enemies for no reason.

"The lord is too worried, the lord is an invincible and strong man, why should he be afraid to go to the old Taoist?"

"Don't be complacent, be humble, invincible is just a compliment, how can there be a truly invincible person in the world...... Send some people around here, and if you meet an old Taoist priest, please go back to see me, and if you really don't move, go back and inform me. ”

"That old Miss Qiao is sick, shouldn't she be caught?" Thirty-nine obviously didn't have a good impression of the old Taoist priest.

"Yes, please come back, but you have to explain it clearly, and your attitude should be better, that old Taoist priest is not ordinary, so as not to suffer a loss!"

“…… Promise! ”

"Also, by the way, inform Lao Jiu and ask him to send someone to investigate the background of this Taoist temple and the background of the old Taoist priest!" After another instruction, he got on his horse and walked away. Li Yunfei is a busy man now, not only has there been many military affairs to deal with, but also a female patient and a frightened beauty who need to be taken care of, of course, he doesn't have time to go to Lao Dao in person.

……

Since Beiping City has just been won, there are not many things, and now without the help of Xiao Qiao, a capable secretary, many things can only be handled by Li Yunfei himself, so he has been really busy these days.

The biggest problem now is that Cao Cao's group of family members, in fact, many subordinates have proposed to cut down Cao Cao's 20 sons and eradicate the roots, but Li Yunfei really can't do it, that group of children, it can be said that all of them are minors, and there are several babies who are still in their arms, and they really can't kill the killer.

In other words, the reason why Li Yunfei did not directly release these people is actually to protect this group of orphans and widows in disguise, Li Yunfei himself does not want to kill too much, but it cannot be ruled out that some subordinates who can please him misinterpret his own meaning, and raise the butcher knife to finish things for himself.

This kind of thing is not Li Yunfei's blind guess, then Liao Li in Dongwu is still a person who was personally trained, at that time, a group of scholars in Dongwu took advantage of the situation to rebel, Li Yunfei only meant to kill the first evil, there was really no intention of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but then Liao Li just dared to raise the butcher's knife, made a burst of bloody rain, and killed more than 2,000 people in one go.

At that time, some people took advantage of the opportunity of the attack of the Northern Alliance and the combined forces of Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, and took advantage of the situation to cause chaos, in fact, there were only more than 100 people who really participated in the planning of the rebellion, but after those people were arrested, the wives and children were all cleaned up by Liao Li, and they were all cut down and eradicated, and they really didn't even let go of the baby.

This incident made Li Yunfei very painful, he has always declared to the outside world that one person does things and one person is not guilty of family or anything, but he says one thing in his mouth, but his subordinates do another, which feels too hypocritical. Although everyone can understand that it is already very merciful to those who rebel and only kill their real family members, Li Yunfei's heart is still somewhat uncomfortable.

It's just that although he feels uncomfortable, he can't really punish Liao Li, otherwise it is likely to chill the people who do things for him, and manage a huge country, if his subordinates feel cold, then the country will be finished. It's just that this habit of raiding homes and exterminating clans at every turn does need to be corrected, but it can't be rushed, and people can only slowly change their habits.

……

After a few days of waste sleep and forgetting to eat, the business strategy of the north has been fully formulated, and the affairs of Beiping City have been properly handled.

This personal expedition took a little more than half a year, and it was easy to recover Jizhou and Youzhou, and Zhuge Liang took Liangzhou, Jiaozhou and returned to Shun, and now even Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu also have the intention of surrendering.

It's just that in more than half a year, the new army of Xuzhou swept the world with an unstoppable momentum.

The only thing that makes Li Yunfei a little regretful is that due to some mistakes in his calculations, more than 2,000 casualties were still caused in the final siege battle, otherwise this Northern Expedition can be said to be flawless, and it will become a model for soldiers who surrender without a fight.

Of course, the more than 2,000 casualties could be completely ignored in the eyes of others, and all people saw was Li Yunfei leading an army of 100,000 people, marching forward with a roar, and the cities along the way fled when they heard the wind and fell in sight.

Now there are a large number of sycophantic literati and writers who have begun to write many poems and songs to praise Li Yunfei's great achievements, but among those poems, there will always be one or two sentences that are more ambiguous......

Hearing those poems sung, it can be said that a few families are happy and a few are sad, of course the happy one is Zhen Mi, although she doesn't say it, of course she is extremely happy in her heart, and by the way, the people who serve her are also very honored, and they are in a very good mood, and they collect those poems and texts everywhere into a book.

Xiao Qiao was a little worried, she was really anxious, so she hurriedly wrote to her sister in Xuzhou, asking her to prepare more, and when she went back, the sisters would work together to snatch Li Yunfei's attention back.

The party Li Yunfei is completely unclear about the situation, there have been a lot of things in the past two days, and there are meetings every day to formulate strategies, which is a vacuum to go shopping, those subordinates, of course, will not talk nonsense to block Li Yunfei......

"The identity of the Taoist priest has probably been clarified, it should be Daoist Yu Ji!" After a few days of careful investigation, the general situation was finally clarified, so I hurried over to report the results of the investigation to Li Yunfei, but this result did surprise Li Yunfei a little.

"How can it be him, according to rumors, wasn't Yu Ji killed by Sun Ce?" Li Yunfei always suspected that the old way was Zuo Ci, but he didn't expect it to be a Yu Ji who was supposed to be dead.

"According to the careful investigation of his subordinates, and at the same time, he also asked many soldiers who surrendered from Eastern Wu, according to what they said, at that time, Yu Ji was indeed caught and killed by Sun Ce because of 'bewitching the public', but on the night Yu Ji was killed, the corpse suddenly turned into a blue light and disappeared, so the Yu Ji Dao people may not be dead."

"It's really so powerful, could it be exaggerated by false rumors?"

"This matter is not seen by the subordinates, so it is impossible to be sure, but the subordinates have asked several people, and they all say so, I think it is not groundless!"

“…… Forget it, there is no need to investigate, this kind of strange thing is not something that ordinary people can handle...... If it's okay, go back and rest first! ”

"The intelligence network in the north has been basically completed, and his subordinates want to develop outside the customs!"

"I don't think your mental state is too good, the intelligence network can take your time, but don't exhaust your body."

"Thank you for your care, that is, I have been busy for a few days, but I am usually not so busy, and now there are seventeen and eighteen brothers who come to help, but it is much easier." Lao Jiu, who has always been in charge of intelligence work, of course, also wants to find something to do for his subordinates, and he can also be promoted a few levels and get more generous treatment.

"That's okay, you sort out a report and send it to Lujiang City for filing, and I will allocate you the money and food you need."

"Thank you, lord, my subordinates will retire."

After being determined, Lao Jiu happily left this Guanwai Development Intelligence Agency, and there will be countless opportunities for meritorious service in the future, so if you can go back at night, it can be regarded as your two good brothers who can explain the past, and it is worth drinking a flower wine to celebrate.
