On the path, the night wind blew, Wang Xiu couldn't help but shiver, and the hand holding the sword loosened, but it was quickly clenched again.

The force is so heavy that the cyan veins on its palms are faintly visible.

The night was cold, and there were fierce fights along the way, he was seriously injured, and he had no time to heal and stop the bleeding, if it weren't for this person's strong mind, I was afraid that he would not be able to support it at this time.

Seeing that Wang Xiu's body was shriveling and seemed to be shaking, Lu Xing on one side hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support him.

"Don't meddle in your business. If it's just passing, then go your way. In this world, you can't see how lively you can see."

The hook-nosed man chased and killed here, seeing that something big was about to happen, he naturally wouldn't let Wang Xiu and the others go so easily, he stared at the sudden appearance of the lead and the others.

"Naturally, if you insist on meddling, then you don't mind a few more souls under the knife. It just so happened that there was some interest today. Killing a few people in this North Sea is not a big deal for us."

"I wasn't interested in meddling with all of this. But now that you have said this, if I retreat from this, will it not seem that I am afraid of you?" He laughed, took a spear from the guard on one side, and put it in his hand.

He bent down slightly, held the spear in both hands, and said with a smile: "Everyone who knows me knows something, and no one can stop what he wants to do."

"A certain is also a well-known good player in Beihai Country, thinking that you are a young man who has just arrived, retreat quickly, and spare your life." Although the hook-nosed man said that he looked down on the move, it could also be seen from the way the young man on the opposite side held the spear that this person was not a man who had never touched a blade, so he held his sword in front of him as a defense.

Seeing his expression, how did he not know that this person was very inward, and with a long laugh, the person jumped like a tiger, and the spear in his hand was slanted from the bottom to the top, stabbing the person in the chest.

The hook-nosed man wanted to seal this shot with a knife in his chest, but he didn't want this man to shoot too quickly, so he saw him shoot, and the next moment he had already stabbed straight in.

Fortunately, he is not a paper character, in the end, he put the spear across his chest in advance, but he changed his moves very quickly, and when he saw that he could not stab him in the chest, he swept and stabbed this person in the arm with a spear.

The man rolled over and took the opportunity to escape from the range of the spear's stabbing attack.

He shook off the blood stains on the spear, raised the spear, and said with a smile in the tone of this person, "Quickly retreat, I can spare your life." Otherwise, I wouldn't mind adding a few more souls to this spear."

The man covered his arm, temporarily stopped the injury, and then raised his eyes to look at the people who led him, and saw that the people behind him were also carrying their own swords, and they were extremely measured between advance and retreat, and they were by no means ordinary people, and it was not easy to deal with.

Naturally, they pursued from the city not only the dozens of people around them, but Wang Xiu and others were assassins, and they were deeply aware of the way of hiding, and the traces left along the way were too clean, forcing them to scatter their hands to find them, and they were also lucky enough to bump into Wang Xiu and others here.

Ben is going to be a big success, and he doesn't want to be ruined by the sudden killing of others and others.

Although he hated a lot in his heart, but at this time, seeing that it was difficult to start, the man already had some retreat in his heart, but he still shouted to himself, "If you do such a thing today, you will naturally regret it in the future, and you will know the fate of offending us one day." Sooner or later, you will leave your life in this land of the North Sea."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the others to answer, he had already led people to escape into the darkness behind him.

He did not lead people to pursue.

In the first place, he was just at the right time, and he did not know these people, so he did not need to hurt their lives. Just made a move, but it was just that this person mentioned Liu Bei between his words. Second, it is natural that Wang Xiu and the others are weak and weak now, and if there is no one to take care of them, there will be something wrong.

Just as he was taking a few steps and wanting to step forward to say a few words to Wang Xiu, suddenly a few terrible screams came from the dark night where those people had fled.

Everyone is waiting for them.

The screams faded down, and another group of centaurs came out of the shadows.

Qian Zhao rubbed his forehead, and slowly lowered the gun in his hand a little, "In the past, I was the best

I'm afraid of trouble, so I really shouldn't go to this troubled water."

"If you don't care about idle things, then you really have changed your temperament." The leader of the Biao people who came out of the dark night was none other than Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, who was dressed in a black robe.

Jia Xu first introduced himself, saying that he was just a not-so-famous strategist under Liu Bei.

Zhao nodded, he heard Yide mention this person when he was in Youzhou.

"The screams just now, but the ones who fled?" Puller asked.

Jia Xu beckoned back, and someone handed over the head he was carrying, "Indeed, they are them. These people still have some skills, and it really took me a lot of effort to kill them, and some of them were injured."

Qian Zhao glanced at the head in his hand, although it was a lake of flesh and blood, but if you look closely, you can also see that it is the eagle-nosed man who is the leader.

"Jia Jun is decisive." Zhao squinted and smiled, seemingly praising him, but in fact, he was already a little wary of this person in his heart, and he didn't know when there was such a character around Xuande.

[In view of the general environment,

Since the head of the person who is now the leader is here, it is naturally difficult for the others to be spared.

"Thank you for the compliment, Jia is just doing something. Now please give way to the king, I have something to discuss with Wang Xiu." Jia Xu laughed.

-------------------------------------

On the side of the path, Wang Xiu, who had simply treated his wounds and had recovered a little, walked side by side with Jia Xu.

"Why did Jia Jun suddenly appear here?" Wang Xiu raised his foot and crushed a piece of hard soil on the ground.

He had been by Liu Bei's side for many days, so he naturally knew that Jia Xu was Liu Bei's confidant. It's not hard to guess why he's here now, but he still has a question to ask.

"Shuzhi is a smart man, you can naturally guess what my intentions are."

"Jia Jun appeared just right, I can't help but wonder if Jia Jun was already nearby, why didn't he make a move earlier?" Wang Xiu smiled, but his face was full of vigilance.

"Convincing you to join the Beihai Prime Minister is indeed one of the purposes of my trip. And the other purpose of this trip is naturally to cut off the wings of those wealthy families." Jia Xu said bluntly, "If you don't let you lure them away from the drama county, how can you solve them so easily."

Wang Xiu looked at Jia Xu, "What if I can't hold on halfway?"

"Naturally, I will make a move, but I will be a little disappointed in Liu Beihai's way of seeing people." Jia Xu was still smiling, as if he had not noticed that Wang Xiu was about to burst out and forcibly held back his anger.

"Last question, you are acting like this, but at the behest of the Prime Minister of the North Sea?"

"Of course not." Jia Xu waved his hand casually, as if he wanted to shake off the blood on the top of his hand, "If this matter is told to Xuande, most likely he will ask me to put you first. Even if I know that my method can actually be the most profitable."

Wang Xiu really couldn't understand why such a benevolent and virtuous person in Beihai had such a ruthless character around him.

"Someone must do what is good, and someone will do what is evil." Jia Xu looked up, and darkness spread out from front of him into the distance, "To the enemy, victory is victory, and defeat is defeat. The so-called benevolence is nothing more than a pretext for the weak and a show-off for the victor."

"It's the strangest thing that someone like you would follow Liu Beihai." Wang Xiu smiled dumbly.

"I naturally have my reason for following Xuande, and I came here today just to ask Wang Jun, but I am willing to join Liu Beihai's command." Jia Xu smiled, "It's just that you have to say it first, and what you want to do in the future may not be anything above board."

Wang Xiu was silent for a moment and replied, "I can agree, but my friends still have to go and ask one or two."

Jia Xu smiled and nodded, Wang Xiu's friends have always been headed by him, and now that he has come down, how can those people not be down.

Jia Xu turned his head towards the county party

He looked at him and smiled, "You've come just in time, and we just have a big deal next."

-------------------------------------

A few days later, in the courtyard of the Tian family's house, Li Wu, who would have shouted loudly every time, sat in his seat without saying a word for the first time today.

Tanaka, who was sitting on the main seat, folded his hands in front of his knees, frowned, and there was no trace of the calm look of everything under control in the past.

However, in just a few days, they, the wealthy clans of the Beihai Kingdom, were frequently frustrated at the hands of that Beihai Minister.

One is that the people sent out to hunt down Wang Xiu and others have never returned, and they probably fell for the other party's tricks. But it's not a big deal, it's just that there are fewer available people on hand.

What really upsets them is the second thing.

Not long ago, Cheng Quan and other Luoyang merchants entered Beihai, with the official support provided by Liu Bei in the name of Beihai Minister, and the huge amount of money they brought from Luoyang, and soon occupied a place in Beihai. In addition, Cheng Quan used some business methods learned from Liu Bei, supplemented by the usual methods of merchants in the open and in the dark, and for a while, he forced them, the "natives" who had taken root in Beihai Country for many years, into a corner.

For the wealthy families who started their lives on the profits of coastal fishing and salt, moving their interests is moving their foundation, and they are already enemies who do not share the sky. What's more, I heard that this newcomer, who has already done a lot of great things, is actually eyeing their fishing and salt business, how can they not be killed?

After a long time, Tanaka slowly opened his eyes and sighed, "I never thought that I had come to this point, I thought that we would be able to calm things down by taking a step back, but I didn't want this Liu Beihai to press forward step by step." Although the people don't fight with the officials, we are not clay figures who follow others. Tomorrow I will go to meet my old man, and if I can't convince him, I will send someone to inform Sun Jin."

"If you want to do it, don't hesitate."

-------------------------------------

The next day, a pair of old people who had not seen each other for many years met on the long street in the city.

"I haven't seen you for years, but you seem much older than I am." Cheng Quan looked at the old man in front of him, and felt a little emotional.

When you are young, you will be full of energy, and when you are old and you can see your old friends, you will inevitably recall those old things and the eventful years of your youth.

"How are you compared to me?" Tanaka laughed, "I heard that you are no longer in charge of the affairs of the family. Feel at ease physically and mentally, and deserve to look younger. I am still in charge of the house, and I am far from being able to compare with you."

"At your age, why do you still have to support yourself and refuse to let go, you need to know that your children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." Cheng Quan smiled.

"I'm not as thorough as you think, and I always want to do my best for my juniors while I can still move." Tanaka grimaced.

"I'm afraid that you don't want to do your best, but you are reluctant to control the power in your hands. People always love this in their twilight years, and it seems that you can't hide from it." Cheng Quan directly pierced his mind, "Sometimes stopping in time is the way to stability."

"You should understand my purpose for coming." Tanaka smiled, "Now I understand what you mean, but I advise you to think about it again, it's hard to recover."

Cheng Quan nodded, "That's what I mean."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and each turned to leave.

Under some words, the two sides can be regarded as testing each other's minds.

There is no intention of backing down, so you can only rely on your ability.

-------------------------------------

In a quiet room in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are only two people.

In front of the two of them was a large wooden table with bamboo slips piled on it.

Jia Xu picked up a scroll at random, and what was recorded on it was what someone in the local wealthy family had done in a certain place in a certain year and month

Evil deeds.

These are all the results of Jia Xu's visit to the rangers who came with him immediately after Liu Bei's arrival, and they have been verified again and again, and there are few errors and omissions.

At this time, Xun You also saw the content on the bamboo slip clearly, but he didn't know what Jia Xu meant.

"If you want to pacify the Beihai Kingdom, these local wealthy clans naturally can't let go. It's just that things can't be done absolutely, and the wings must be cut off, but also leave them some foundation for starting anew, so as not to make Xuande fall into a terrible name." Jia Xu laughed, "And these are the basis for who should be cut off and who should not be cut off. It's enough to stop everyone's mouth."

Xun You was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "How many of the records in this have become true."

"Eight becomes true, and as for the remaining two percent, it is exactly where you and I need to make up for it." Jia Xu pointed to the vermilion and black pen and ink on the table, "Those who are outlined by the vermilion pen should die, and those who are outlined by the ink should be slowed."

"If the sin does not deserve death, what should be done to those who are in the veins of the nobles?" Xun You asked again.

"Why should Gongda ask more, it is naturally outlined by the red pen."

"Wen He acted like this, isn't he afraid of killing too much?"

Jia Xu picked up the red pen on the table, sketched a place on the bamboo slip in his hand, and said with a casual smile: "People like you and me, planning between the curtains, and everything they do is invisible."

"You and I should be the dark side of Xuande."

"Someone must do evil things."
