Time has passed the second watch, and the outside room has completely quieted.

But Zhao Qianzhe, who had been busy all day, did not go to bed, but still paced back and forth in the outer hall with a little trepidation, and after a while, he spoke again: "Hasn't he come back yet?"

The equally unpleasant reply he received also made him more and more uneasy in his heart, and he muttered, "It's been a long time, so where can Li Ji go?" Have you looked around?"

Zhao Hanshan could only open his mouth and said with relief: "Childe, please rest assured, our people have already gone around looking for him, as long as we find him, we will definitely bring people back safely." And with the skills he has shown today, there should be no danger."

"Am I afraid he's in danger? I'm afraid of ......" Zhao Qianzhe couldn't help complaining, but the sentence "I'm afraid he will run away" was not easy to say after all, so he could only keep his mouth shut and sit down on the chair again.

At this moment, he really regretted today's temptation.

Under the temptation, Li Ji really had no problem, and it was better than he imagined.

But the result? At the same time as getting the answer, the others are nowhere to be found, if they really can't come back, the loss will be great, and this person is still of great use.

"Childe doesn't need to be anxious, this person is just saved by us just happening to save him, it's a big deal if we didn't save him on the road......" Xue Mudao could only comfort him.

"Hmph, but he's now a crucial part of my plan, and he can give me a few more points!" Zhao Qianzhe was still annoyed and said, and he couldn't sit still, so he had to get up. And at this moment, a subordinate from outside had hurried over: "Childe, Li Ji is back!"

With the report, in the courtyard outside, a familiar figure had already walked over, which made Zhao Qianzhe stunned, and then hurriedly took a few steps: "Brother Li, are you back......?"

"Yes, Brother Li, you're back. Do you know that Childe hasn't eaten a few bites of food until now because of you?" Zhao Hanshan also hurriedly stepped forward and said to Sun Ning, "What's wrong with you, but are you injured?"

In the face of these people who were full of concern, Sun Ning sneered in his heart, but he also said with a little uneasiness in his mouth: "When I went out today, I met the people of the Liangzhou Army, and they actually planned to kidnap me and let me be at their mercy to deal with Zhao Gongzi."

"How could something like this happen? No wonder we later found out that the two brothers who went out with you had been killed and lying in the alley over there! It turned out to be a good deed done by the people of Liangzhou Army, so are you injured?" Zhao Qianzhe immediately felt seven emotions, as if he really didn't know anything.

Sun Ning cooperated with him, shaking his head with some fear and anger: "No, I took advantage of their inattention, killed the two of them, and took the road away. It's just that because of too much force, the old wound is broken, so I can only find a place to hide first."

"I see, I've really wronged you this time." Zhao Qianzhe hurriedly spoke, "Quick, Mr. Xue, let's take a look at Brother Li's injuries first, we have written down this incident, and we will always seek justice in a few days."

Sun Ning re-dressed himself after being undressed by Xue Mudao, and continued: "After that, in order not to cause trouble to you, Gongzi, I found a small inn in the city and stayed for half a day, until it was dark, and I was sure that I would not be targeted, so I rushed back. It's worrying you."

"Brother Li, what you said is too outward, since you were targeted by the Liangzhou Army because of us, the trouble is naturally that we will carry it together!" Zhao Qianzhe hurriedly said.

The others also chimed in: "Yes, if there is such a thing in the future, you just come back and we will deal with them together!"

Sun Ning's face showed a look of emotion when he heard this, and he solemnly clenched his fists: "Remember, if there is anything in the future, I will come back to solve it with everyone!"

After a performance of wooing the relationship, Zhao Qianzhe and the others finally put their minds at ease, and arranged for someone to send Sun Ning food and drink, and then dispersed.

For them, although they lost two of their subordinates today, they still gained a lot, at least in their opinion, this Li Ji can really be used with confidence.

And for Sun Ning, today is naturally worth the trip.

When he lay in bed, he didn't fall asleep immediately, but remembered the day

While talking to each other, Tian Jian began to turn his mind and think about how to light a fire in Jeju so that he could make his own fire in the fire.

It was not only the people in their house who could not sleep peacefully this night, in fact, there were many people in Jeju City who could not sleep in the middle of the night, such as King Lu.

At this time, in the study of King Lu's mansion, there was still a bright light, in addition to King Lu, the two most trusted ministers around him, Yiwen and Yiwu, were also present.

The literati is naturally Kong Wenxi, a son of the Confucian family, and the military attache is Fan Tianhua, the commander of the Jeju Heavy Character Battalion.

This heavy battalion is the strongest battalion among the five major military camps in Jeju, with 3,600 elite soldiers, which is the biggest security guarantee in the hands of King Lu.

With this literature and martial arts by his side, King Lu has the confidence to compete with Xun Yin, the Taishou who has been in charge of Jeju, and can slowly seize the control of Jeju and even the entire Lu land into his own hands within a few years.

But now, their focus has shifted from Xun Yin's opponent to those more terrifying guys.

"Tomorrow, the envoys of the Oni Rong will also arrive in Jeju, do you say that this king still wants to avoid them?" When King Lu asked this, his tone was full of unwillingness.

The Liangzhou Army and the Peace Heavenly Army, that is the rebellion of the imperial court, is a thief. And the Guirong people are the foreign enemies of Dayue, and they are the three northern tribes that were killed by Emperor Taizu Taizong two hundred years ago and could only flee in a hurry, and were torn apart; It was a hundred years ago that Emperor Wuzong was killed and almost wiped out, and he could only survive and beg for his life to be defeated!

But now, with the decline of the Dayue court, these thieves and foreign enemies have come out to make trouble again, and they have also bullied themselves, the vassal kings of the court.

It's really unbearable!

"The prince is angry, we must not let them know our true thoughts now, otherwise it will be the destruction of the entire Lu Land." Kong Wenxi hurriedly persuaded him bitterly, "We have all endured it for a few years, so how about putting up with him again?

"What's more, the Southern Imperial Court is about to go north, and our opportunity has arrived. As long as we can maintain the balance we are on, as long as we let the three sides attack each other, we will be able to keep the land from chaos."

"But now the three of them obviously don't have that much patience, and this time they each sent envoys to ask us for a clear answer." King Lu asked in annoyance and uneasiness, "You say, can this king still drag it?"

"Then simply invite the three of them together and provoke conflicts between them!" Kong Wenxi put forward his own idea, "Only when the snipe and the clam compete can we take advantage of the fisherman!" c

As he spoke, the room fell silent again, but outside, there was a sudden burst of thunder, as if to indicate that the real storm was coming!
