The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden.

This is the consistent practice of Confucianism.

The reason why Li Jun showed a surprised expression was not that he did not expect that the Xindonglin Party would cross the river and demolish the bridge.

It's just that the current New Deal has just passed the most difficult stage, and there is still a long way to go before it is fully stabilized. The new Donglin Party chose to take action against Jinyiwei at this time, which is not quite in line with their style.

Governing a large country is like cooking a small fresh, and the most important thing that Confucian scholars lack is patience.

In those years when the martial arts were rampant, this point was most vividly reflected.

"What is Su Qianhu going to do?"

Li Jun asked after a moment of silence.

"You are also Wu Xu, in this kind of matter, you should know him better than me."

Ghost Wang Da suddenly sighed: "But no matter what Qianhu's final decision is, he doesn't want to involve this group of Jinyi Wei disciples who have grown up by himself." So this meeting is a chance for him to give the people below a choice. ”

"If."

Li Jun asked in a calm voice: "I mean, if the Jinyi Wei of the Japanese District is really dismissed, what will happen to him?" ”

"Who knows. Returning to the hometown? Disarmament and reintegration? ”

Ghost Wang Da leaned back, pretending to smile easily: "Or go to Xiyi to have a look?" After all, after the new policy is stabilized, in a few years at most, the Japanese district will not be able to set off any storms, and his purpose of going to the Japanese district can be regarded as being realized. ”

At this moment, not only Li Jun, but even the bustard ghost sitting on the side heard Ghost Wang Da's words insincerely.

Li Jun's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he suddenly remembered the past things that the bustard ghost on the road told him about Su Ce.

It is true that if this Jinyi Wei Qianhu in the Wa District wants to resist the abolition of the New Donglin Party, with his prestige and appeal, the vast majority of the thousands of Jinyi Wei in the Wa District will inevitably go forward and follow him to the death.

Although the final result may not change much, if Su Ce holds on to this power tightly, he can at least get a lot of wealth from the hands of the New Donglin Party.

But if he really wants to use these old departments as bargaining chips in exchange for his own interests, then he is not Su Ce.

At this point, everything seems to make sense, but it is difficult to accept.

"Those of us who came to the Japanese district were forced to do so and that. Either you provoked someone you shouldn't have in your hometown, and you were forced by others to get along. Either his genes are destined to be unremarkable in this life, but he is not willing to be unknown for a lifetime. ”

Ghost Wang Da said calmly: "There is an old saying in the empire, called 'the rich stay in their hometown, and the poor go to another country', in the final analysis, if there is no other choice, who wants to leave their hometown and become a precarious brocade guard in such a poor mountain and bad water?"

"But it's all about fighting for a breath and earning a life! fantasized that one day he would be able to return to his hometown in good clothes, let those relatives who were inclined to be angry nod to him, and let the woman who once looked down on him regret his belly. ”

"These things are in the eyes of thousands of households, so he is unwilling to force everyone."

Ghost King Da slowly exhaled a long breath, and suddenly slammed his face on the table, and a suppressed resentment jumped on his face.

"This old man is obviously also a martial artist, and he can be regarded as domineering when he sees and acts on weekdays, but how can he become a mother-in-law at such a critical juncture? What if he rebelled with us? After killing Honghu for so many years, I still want to be a Honghu myself! ”

The angry voice echoed throughout the room, and the palms pressed on the table vibrated continuously, pulling the dishes and clanging into a loud sound.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that."

After a while, the ghost king finally calmed down his excitement, and was about to continue speaking, but a crisp knock suddenly sounded outside the closed door.

Li Jun and Ghost King Da suddenly glanced at each other, and they both caught a glimpse of the faint surprise in each other's eyes.

This time, Li Jun's early arrival in Edo Castle was improvised, and he only made an appointment with the ghost king Da alone, and he did not make a noise.

And at this moment, in Li Jun's physical perception and Ghost Wang Da's mechanical eye scanning, the door was empty, and there was no half figure at all!

"Where did you provoke such a character? They all chased them to Edo Castle, and this murderous intent is heavy enough. ”

Ghost King Da laughed and scolded, and a faint mechanical hum wafted from his body.

"I've had a lot of trouble lately, who the fuck knows which one this is."

Li Jun licked his lips: "Old ghost, you will take the bustard ghost first in a while." ”

"Okay."

Ghost Wang Da clearly knows his strength, and staying here is also a burden, so he doesn't twist immediately.

I saw that he suddenly got up, grabbed the bustard ghost who was still unknown, and said in a deep voice to Li Jun: "At most, half a stick of incense will take time, and the people of the Thousand Households will be able to arrive." You kid don't want to be killed in such a short period of time. ”

"Don't worry, I don't know how to run if I can't win?"

Li Jun waved his hand, with a relaxed look of nonchalant care.

Ghost Wang Da nodded, and the buzz of the weapon heart from his body rose suddenly, and just as he was about to smash the wall with his fist, the locked box door suddenly opened by itself.

"I said, can you two stop making so many scenes? If they really come to kill someone, who will knock on the door? Give you so much time to talk nonsense? ”

Outside the door, a middle-aged Confucian with a fair face walked in, his eyebrows full of helplessness.

"It's just that this kid is full of bad water, why do you follow him to play these tricks?"

Ghost Wang Da didn't even look at each other, stretched out his hand and pinched the back of the bustard's neck, dragging the bustard ghost who had passed in a coma and passed by the middle-aged Confucian student.

"Yan Junling hold on, I'll go back and shake people."

The middle-aged Confucian listened to this sentence, which was half acting and half warning, looked back at the back of the other party's hurried footsteps, and rubbed his eyebrows with some headaches.

At this moment, in the box of this Cantonese restaurant, only him and Li Jun, who was sitting in his position and did not move, looked indifferent.

The middle-aged Confucian who was originally going to use himself to grasp Li Jun's whereabouts and take the lead was made by Li Jun and Ghost Wang Da, but now he can't hold any posture, so he waved his sleeves and closed the door.

At the same time, a jade pendant hanging from his waist was windless, and an invisible wave spread.

The feeling of drowning was fleeting, but Li Jun knew in his heart that the entire room was now shielded.

The middle-aged Confucian found a chair to sit down, looked at Li Jun, who was calm, and couldn't help laughing: "It's quite calm, aren't you curious about who I am?" ”

"What's there to worry about, if you're going to fight, then I'll continue. If you want to talk, then I'll listen. Either way, you can't stand it. ”

"Oh?"

The middle-aged Confucian asked with interest, "Why?" ”

Li Jun said lightly: "Because the Jinyi guard of the Thousand Households will arrive soon." ”

The middle-aged Confucian praised: "It is worthy of being able to kill all the way from the muddy water robe brother in Chengdu Mansion to the lone martial arts order of the hundred households in Jinyi Wei in the Japanese District today, and there are indeed some doorways." ”

Li Jun flicked his fingers: "I can't talk about the doorway, it's just that I killed too many people, and I just raised a bad spirit." ”

"So you play such a play with the ghost king Da, give me a dismount?"

"I'm a man with a bad temper, and I'm not used to seeing people pretending to be ghosts."

"Coincidentally, my temper is also notoriously stinky."

The middle-aged Confucian frowned, "I'm Li Bufeng." ”

"Guessed."

Li Bufeng tapped the open space in front of him with his hand, "Now that you know, according to the rules, you should kneel down and salute me now." ”

"Whose rules?"

"Of course, it's the rule of the imperial court."

"Unfortunately," Li Jun raised his eyebrows, "I have always only followed one set of rules. ”

"What rules?"

"The rules of the martial order."

Li Jun's eyes were blazing, and he grinned: "Everyone who wants me to kneel down has all died in my hands, without exception." ”

"How dare you commit a crime?"

Li Bufeng squinted and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will pick the skin of your brocade guard?" Don't forget, I'm the highest governor of the Wa District. ”

"So you came here today just to see if I had sacrificed my body to cut down the courage of you, the Lord of the Guardian Envoy of the Japanese District?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the closed door was pushed open again.

A figure wrapped in a black robe silently walked in and stopped at the door, a little red light flashing in the shadow of the hood.

"Takefu is wearing armor, I haven't seen this kind of scene for many years."

Li Bufeng suddenly burst out laughing, with an emotional look on his face.

"I don't have the leisure to do it with your Wu Xu, besides, if I fight with one of your juniors, won't I be laughed off by Su Ce's old man?"

Li Bufeng waved his hand and said, "Okay, let it go out first." I'm looking for you this time because I have something serious to talk to you about. ”

"He can listen."

There was no hesitation in Li Jun's tone, and there was no sign of Ma Wangye, who was standing at the door, turning around and leaving.

Li Bufeng's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and seeing that Li Jun's firm tone did not seem to be fake, he let Ma Wangye listen to it on the side.

"I am not a member of the New Donglin Party, and I have been friends with Yang Baize's teacher Pei Xingjian for many years."

In just one sentence, there is a lot of information.

The dignified district proclamation envoy, the nominally highest chief executive, is not a member of the New Donglin Party?

This is completely out of Li Jun's understanding of the consistent style of the New Donglin Party.

"There's no way, with you Su Qianhu here, those old men of the New Donglin Party are unwilling to come over to suffer this grievance, so I can only let a small role like me with no background to take on it, anyway, it's just to serve as a façade, who is not the same? Right. ”

Li Bufeng seemed to see the doubts in Li Jun's heart, and explained with a smile.

"Then you came to me today for Yang Baize?" Li Jun frowned and asked.

"That's right."

Li Bufeng said bluntly: "I was entrusted by others to take good care of that child." It's a pity that I can't do it now, so I can only see what kind of person his chosen partner is. In this way, when I am gone, I can feel a little more at ease. ”

"Lord Li, this is going to be promoted?"

"You kid don't taunt me here, don't think I'm a scholar, I don't care about you if I have a good culture. It really me off, Su Ce can only watch me clean you up when he comes! ”

Li Bufeng seemed to have been stepped on by Li Jun's tail, blowing his beard and glaring, and Li Jun was inexplicable.

"What am I mocking you for?"

"Who is scolding for being promoted?"

Li Jun was speechless and couldn't laugh or cry.

However, when Li Bufeng, who seemed to be annoyed and angry, made such a fuss, the hidden hostility between the two dissipated most of them.

"Someone from the New Donglin Party is coming to take my place, in other words, I have been removed."

Li Jun was stunned: "Are they also those high-ranking tycoons?" ”

"Apart from those old men, who else is so shameless and ignorant of eating?"

Li Bufeng said lightly, as if the dismissal was just a trivial matter for him.

"Master Li, you are open-minded, admire."

Li Jun hesitated for a long time, and finally held back such a sentence.

"It's all expected, it's going to happen sooner or later, what's all the fuss about."

Li Bufeng said: "So I am not sitting here today to talk to you as a consolation envoy of the Japanese District, but simply as an elder of Yang Baize, I want to ask you three words." ”

Without waiting for Li Jun to speak, Li Bufeng then explained: "Of course, Li Baihu, don't think that I am here to examine or blame you, I don't have the qualifications or the power now." I purely think that the child's background is pitiful, and he can finally live a few days of being taken care of, if he dies in the Japanese district like this, those of us who are elders are really unbearable, I hope you can understand. ”

Li Bufeng's words were sincere.

Li Jun was silent for a moment, slowly sat upright in his originally casual sitting posture, and said with his hands clasped into his fists: "Please advise." ”

"First sentence, this time the gate valve came to take over the achievements of the new policy, Li Baihu, do you really want to support Yang Baize?"

"Yes and what, and what is not?"

"If yes, I owe you a favor. If not, I will leave the Wa District with Yang Baize now, and give up the merits of Inuyama City's new policy to the Langya Wang family, so as not to hinder Li Baihu's eyes. ”

After Li Bufeng said this, he quietly waited for Li Jun's answer.

Li Jun did not shy away from it, and calmly looked at those eyes as deep as the abyss.

"What I promised, I will never change."

"Good!"

Li Bufeng smiled loudly, "The second sentence, if you can't do anything in the end, can you save Yang Baize's life within the scope of your ability?" ”

"I can't promise you that."

Li Jun shook his head and said: "I myself am in danger, and I have tried my best to make my troubles not implicate him." ”

"Understood."

Li Bufeng didn't care about Li Jun's answer, but nodded with a smile on his face.

"The last sentence."

Li Bufeng's speed of speech became extremely slow, "Li Baihu, what do you think of the new Donglin Party today?" ”

In contrast, Li Jun opened his mouth this time but was extremely decisive: "Sooner or later, why do you need to watch?" ”

Li Bufeng was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, patted his thighs and laughed.

"It's a good sentence that sooner or later, I, Li Bufeng, have not figured out the truth in my life, but I have learned a thorough lesson from you and Su Ce, two martial artists."

Li Bufeng suddenly got up and clenched his fist at Li Jun, "On behalf of Pei Xingjian, thank you Li Baihu." ”

Sting.

Li Jun toed a little, and the chair under him slid to the side against the ground, letting go of Li Bufeng's salute.

"Lord Li is polite."

"I don't like to owe people something, so I promised you the favor just now, and I'll pay you back now."

Li Bufeng didn't give Li Jun a chance to refuse, and went straight to the point: "The earth immortal of Gesoo Mountain, the person has already reached the boundary of Laizhou Mansion. However, he will not enter the Wa District for the time being, but will wait there to rob and kill the people of Qingcheng Mountain. ”

"When he sets foot in the territory of the Wa District, I will send someone to inform you. When the time comes, whether to kill or hide, Li Baihu, you choose! ”

After saying that, Li Bufeng strode out with a smile on his face.

Li Jun, who looked shocked behind him, stood in place.
