Li Hao looked towards the east where Di and Hu were staying."Since you've accepted the other party's money, you have to do something, right? The Thunder Pavilion isn't a place that doesn't do anything for money. Their reputation can't be ruined…"

Hearing this, Ling 'er couldn't help but snort. She didn't believe that this was Li Hao's true thoughts.

Although the Thunder Pavilion was interested in profit, it was not just about profit. Other factors such as the target's identity, risk, and so on would also be taken into consideration. If the Thunder Pavilion was really only interested in money, it would not be able to grow and live in peace.

"Young Lord, only Di Renjie and Hu Jinghui are in the Ji Prefecture! "Should we…" Ling 'er's eyes were filled with excitement."Should we summon Elephant Lord and the others to deal with these two? That Hu Jinghui's martial arts might not be weak, but with the three of us working together, killing him shouldn't be a problem!”

Ling 'er looked like she was eager to give it a try. She looked at Li Hao and blinked."Didn't you say that Di Renjie was not easy to kill? Why don't we give it a try? And report to the employer?"

Li Hao naturally noticed the cunning look in Ling 'er's eyes. He waved his hand and rubbed his nose with a smile."If the grand Prime Minister and Governor of Youzhou were to meet with an accident in Jizhou, I, as the County Governor, would be held accountable!”

Ling 'er put away her mischievous expression and glanced at Li Hao. She took the initiative to get close to Li Hao and hugged his arm. She asked in a low voice,"Are Jin Mulan and the others trying to rebel?”

"It doesn't matter if they rebel or not. That group of people are traitors of the Great Zhou. That's for sure!”

Li Hao's heart was itching for Ling 'er to take the initiative to get close to him. Such a little beauty, keeping her by his side was a seductive crime!

Putting aside those energy-consuming calculations, Li Hao turned to look at Ling 'er, who was leaning against him. Her watery eyes, beautiful face, beautiful figure, and some wonderful touch from her arms...

Charming thoughts grew…

When Li Hao transmigrated, he was only fifteen years old. Now, ten years had passed, and Li Hao was already twenty-five years old. In the past few years in the army, other than finding some women to vent his lust after fierce battles (for example, last year in the Western Regions, he had tasted Hu women), he had always been holding it in. It was very hard.

Now, Ling 'er, such a beauty with deep feelings, was by his side, but they could only communicate spiritually and verbally. It was really a pity...

Staring at Ling 'er's small mouth, Li Hao really wanted to have a taste. However, due to his scruples, he had to endure it and temporarily be a gentleman…

Of course, Ling 'er noticed Li Hao's gaze. Her face turned hot and she lowered her head. Her chin was almost touching XX. A breeze blew, blowing the beautiful hair. What a beautiful scene.

A peerless beauty!

" The flowers are beautiful and the moon is full. Let's walk again..." He sighed and grabbed Ling 'er's hand as they strolled in the garden, releasing the ambiguous atmosphere between a man and a woman.

……

In the room, Di Renjie was sitting on the couch, soaking his feet in a wooden basin. However, the water had already turned cold, but Lord Di still did not move. His eyes were bright, and he was clearly still thinking.

He had come to Ji Prefecture on a whim to see how the county governor, whom he found interesting, was guarding the border. However, he didn't expect that the things he obtained from Li Hao were far beyond his imagination.

The water in Youzhou was much deeper and murkier than he had imagined. Beneath the calm surface of Youzhou, undercurrents were already surging. The riot of the villagers of the willow tree seemed to be the prelude to chaos.

In the past three days, Di Renjie had observed the people's situation and was almost certain that Youzhou Provincial Governor Fang Qian was problematic. Moreover, it was very likely that he was involved with the rebels hiding in the dark.

The fact that he had infiltrated the army and exerted influence beyond his authority made Di Renjie even more uneasy. He felt that a huge conspiracy was sweeping toward Youzhou.

He had been investigating the diplomatic mission case when he had received news of the Turks in Youzhou. A month ago, Turkic men of sacrifice had sneaked into the pass.

There was definitely something wrong with the whereabouts of the Turks. Although he still couldn't figure out what the connection was, he just hadn't figured it out yet.

Li Haoyan, this little general's insight was astonishing, and the Turkic men of sacrifice were looking for someone.

If it was as he said, then who was he looking for? Or, he might have sneaked into Youzhou Province to contact someone?

As for Li Hao's " assassination attempt ", he could feel that something was wrong based on his intuition. Li Hao seemed to want to link the assassin to the provincial governor Fang Qian, but Di Renjie felt that it was not the case. If that was the case, then if the county lieutenant Hu Rong was the provincial governor's man, then Hu Rong's death could not be explained.

Di Renjie suddenly thought of the assassin who had sent a fake edict to assassinate him. Could it be that the enemy in the dark had made a move, but it did not seem like their style of doing things? What was the purpose?

Killing Li Hao was for Ji Prefecture? Commandant, provincial governor, hidden opponent, were these people in cahoots? If they were a party, why did they assassinate Li Hao and kill Hu Rong?

Or perhaps, Li Hao had used the assassination to kill his comrades? As for him, he and the county lieutenant Hu Rong, can often have discord.

" Hiss..." Thinking of this, Di Renjie shook his head. Li Hao had been in Youzhou for less than half a year. Even if there were disagreements between colleagues, it would not be to this extent.

He had been in the army for ten years and had made many military achievements. There was no reason for him to do something that might ruin his future.

In fact, Fatty Di had a good impression of Li Hao so far…

However, how did the assassins sneak into the heavily guarded Ji Prefecture City and ambush them in advance?

After the assassination, how did he disappear without a trace in the face of the closed doors and strict interrogation?

All kinds of questions were running through Di Renjie's mind…

As he thought about it, the wrinkles on Di Renjie's forehead formed. He kept stroking his beard, which was almost falling off.

Three knocks on the door made Di Renjie come back to his senses. He raised his head and asked,""Who is it?"

" Milord, it's me, Jinghui…" Hu Jinghui's deep voice came from outside the door.

"Come in!" Di Renjie said.

The door wasn't locked. Hu Jinghui pushed the door open and entered with a small basin of steaming water in his hand."Sir, the water is cold, right? I'll refill it for you.”

"How can I trouble you, a dignified Lieutenant General of the Thousand Bull Guard, to add water to my bath!”Seeing Hu Jinghui's action, Di Renjie's eyes revealed a touch of emotion as he lightly smiled.

Shaking his head, Hu Jinghui's face did not have the sharpness he had in front of others.""I treat Daren like a father, so this is nothing. I saw a servant bringing water, so I brought it over!”

"Sit!" Di Renjie gestured for Hu Jinghui to sit down and looked at him kindly.""It's so late, why aren't you sleeping? What's the matter?”
