"Coincidentally passing by?" Li Jian smiled coldly." If we go north, we will be closer to the Hu Tribe beyond the Great Wall. Ordinary people won't choose to go north!"”
As he spoke, he took out the few taels of silver and waved them in front of Di Renjie."This money!"
Di Renjie shook his head slightly and smiled. He looked up at Li Jian."Your county governor is Li Hao, right?”
"That's right! What's wrong?" Li Jian's suspicion grew as she scrutinized Di Renjie.
"This old man and his son have met County Governor Li once. I'll have to trouble you to inform him that an 'old friend' is here!”Di Renjie cupped his hands.
Li Jian frowned and paced back and forth. After thinking for a moment, he waved at his subordinate."Take him away!"
Hu Jinghui immediately wanted to resist, but Di Renjie held his arm and shook his head.
......
In the County Governor Manor, Li Hao was currently throwing a tantrum. Several lieutenants and colonels from Ji Prefecture City stood in the hall, their heads lowered as they listened to the scolding.
"Have you found the assassin yet?" With a cold voice, Li Hao's gaze swept over his subordinates.
"Lord Zhen, we have searched the entire city, but the assassins didn't show up at all. I wonder if they have already escaped from the city!”One of the lieutenants braced himself and reported.
"Humph!" Li Hao immediately slapped the table and said sternly,"Hu County Wei and his comrades are still alive. We must not let those assassins go! Search every house, I want to tear those assassins into pieces!”
Seeing Li Hao's performance, the subordinates couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. The county governor and the county lieutenant had never been on good terms. The county magistrate should be happy that the county lieutenant died in the hands of an assassin. Why is this so?
"Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, sir!"
After his subordinates left, a smile appeared on Li Hao's face.
" Young Master, I still don't understand why Jin Mulan and the others want to kill you." Ling 'er came up to the hall and sat beside Li Hao as she asked.
Li Hao put away a map on the table and said lightly,""Naturally, it's for the Ji Prefecture. This city was an important place for the militarists. Once they took down Jizhou, they could invade Youzhou at will.”
"Now that I and 3,000 soldiers are guarding Youzhou Province, it's impossible for the enemy to attack Youzhou Province before I'm killed.”
Ling 'er naturally didn't understand this. She asked in a slightly confused manner,"Get Elephant Lord and the others to kill that county captain!"
Li Hao said coldly," The Imperial Court has decreed that the Prefectural Governor is not allowed to interfere in military affairs. All military affairs in the prefecture are managed by the Prefectural Lieutenant. However, considering the special situation of Ji Prefecture, which is located at the border, the Imperial Court has decreed that the Prefectural Governor will have the authority to control the military and the government.”
"If I die, before the Imperial Court makes any new arrangements, that Prefectural Lieutenant Hu Rong can take the opportunity to take over the soldiers of the Ji Province.”
"Young Master, do you mean that Commandant Hu Rong is Jin Mulan's subordinate?”Ling 'er expressed her surprise.
Nodding, Li Hao replied,"Probably."
After pondering for a moment, Ling 'er looked up at Li Hao.""With such an outcome, how does Young Lord intend to let Elephant Lord and the others explain to Jin Mulan?”
"Explanation? What explanation! We tried our best, but we didn't expect that Li Hao was so powerful and difficult to deal with that we lost our brothers. Didn't a county captain die? It wasn't like he didn't gain anything from this. Li Hao would definitely strengthen his defenses. It wouldn't be good for him to attack again in the short term!”Li Hao pretended to be surprised and smiled cunningly.
Hearing this, Ling 'er was stunned at first, but then she also smiled. She was still very smart."The other party would never have thought that you were County Governor Li Hao! He wanted to kill you, but Young Master took the opportunity to eliminate his dissidents.”
"However, if Hu Rong is really one of them, will his death arouse the suspicions of the other party?”Ling 'er advised on behalf of Li Hao.
Shaking his head, Li Hao sneered,""In this game of chess in Youzhou Province, Hu Rong is just an insignificant chess piece. The ones who will react after killing him might be the people in the provincial capital!”
Looking at Li Hao's confident expression, Ling 'er put away some of her doubts.
The beauty was smiling, and her budding posture made Li Hao want to embrace her and love her dearly.
"Did Elephant Lord and the others leave the city?"”
"Last night, we had already arranged for them to leave the city smoothly and head south to Ji County!”Ling 'er replied softly. She rolled her eyes and asked,"Xiang Jun said that Tianbao Bank sent two batches of things to the mountain. They are a bank, could it be cord money?”
"You guess!" Li Hao chuckled.
Looking at Li Hao's expression, Ling 'er's eyes widened. She really wanted to bite him. Ever since she went north, her relationship with Li Hao had become much closer. When she thought of something, her pretty face couldn't help but blush.
Li Hao was also thinking about it. From Elephant Lord's description of the carts entering the mountain, he guessed that other than money, there should be a lot of supplies. It was obvious that Li Qing Xia had many people stationed in the mountain's nest!
"General, the captain of the south gate, Li Jian, has reported that he has caught two suspicious people. They are your old friends. Captain Li didn't dare to make decisions on his own, so he specially came to ask for instructions!”While he was in a daze, his bodyguard reported outside the hall.
"My old friend?" Li Hao was a little puzzled. His eyebrows twitched and he looked suspicious."What else did he say?"
"You'll understand when I tell you that we've met by chance and met in the grass canopy!”
" Young Master, that's not Di!" Ling 'er's eyes lit up as she blurted out to Li Hao.
Li Hao naturally realized it as well. He made a gesture to keep quiet and looked at his bodyguard."Where is he?"
"He has been brought to the residence!"
Walking slowly out of the hall and across the courtyard, Li Hao couldn't help but feel curious. Fatty Di should have gone on a private visit in disguise. Why was he in his territory and even caught by Li Jian?
Inside the manor, he saw Di Renjie and Hu Jinghui being escorted by several soldiers.
Hu Jinghui's expression was cold and hard, as if he had suffered a great hatred and was filled with anger. Di Renjie, on the other hand, looked very relaxed. He had a bulging belly and was stroking his gray beard. His old eyes were looking left and right, as if he was very interested in the layout of the Prefectural Governor's Manor.
"It's actually Mister who came personally! Li Hao was not very happy! Why didn't he inform them beforehand? Li Hao would definitely welcome them!”He strode forward eagerly and grabbed Di Renjie's hands. He turned to Li Jian and said,""What happened?"
Seeing Li Hao's reaction, Li Jian knew that he was indeed the Prefectural Governor's " friend." He immediately cupped his hands and said,""This subordinate has misunderstood!"
Fatty Di was a little stunned by Li Hao's enthusiasm. However, Li Hao greeted him with a smile and naturally smiled."General is too polite!"
"My subordinates are not sensible. If they have offended you in any way, please forgive them!”Seeing that Hu Jinghui was still a little angry, Li Hao cupped his hands and smiled at Di Renjie.
