General Qi shook his head and said: "Although General Xue is a bit reckless, he is not unreasonable, but he can't get along with a childish person. It's strange."

The lieutenant general curled his lips and did not want to talk more about Xue Qing. Although Xue Qing had a high position and good abilities, he did not reach his current position by accumulating military merit, but by nepotism. In addition, after Xue Qing came to power, he usually

He was too arrogant and domineering, and no one except King Lu took him seriously. Compared with the previous General Jiang, he was far worse as a person. Therefore, many generals in the army were secretly dissatisfied with Xue Qing.

, this deputy general is one of them.

The deputy general didn't know what King Lu was thinking. He actually let the young and energetic Xue Qing take over the position of General Jiang. General Jiang, who had high prestige in the army and was dignified in the old city, was gradually being replaced by General Jiang.

He was relieved of his military power and became a marginalized person in the army, which is really dissatisfying.

"Boss, the matter in Lixian County has come to an end. Your Majesty is planning to break camp in three days and set off to return to Kuzhou. If the assassin has not been caught by that day..." The deputy general said the last word with a smile on his face.

Difficult color.

The leader of his family was not doing well in patrolling, which led to thieves sneaking into the governor's house and assassinating the king while he was having a banquet.

If this time he has done meritorious service and searched the governor's house with great fanfare, but still no assassin was caught, then no matter how much the king trusts his boss, he may not be able to explain it to him. The deputy general was worried when he thought of this.

"It's been two days. The assassin has been injured. No matter where he is hiding, he has not eaten or drank for two days and nights, and he is at the end of his rope. If I besiege the governor's mansion for one more day, he will die there even if he can't come out.

, let him hide there until he dies." General Qi touched the broad knife on his waist and said in a cold voice.

King Lu was frightened by the assassination and did not want to stay in Lixian County any longer. He decided to withdraw his troops and return to Kuzhou in three days.

After General Qi inspected the county governor's house many times but failed to find any trace of the assassin hiding, his current thought was no longer to find the person, but to trap him here to death.

"Boss, this method of trapping an assassin to death...doesn't it mean that there is no body, and there is no proof of death, General Xue..." the deputy general sighed.

Xue Qing's arm was seriously injured by the assassin that day, and he was already angry with General Qi. If General Qi surrounded the county governor's house with heavy troops for many days and still failed to catch the assassin, let alone King Lu, Xue Qing would not let General Qi go in the first place.

Better off.

"It doesn't matter. As long as that extraordinary assassin is dead and can no longer come out to assassinate King Lu, that's all. General Xue punishes him, but he only suffers a little physical pain. In the final analysis, this general has neglected his duty and deserves to be punished."

General Qi raised his hand to stop the deputy general's complaints.

The lieutenant general was unwilling to shut up and muttered in a low voice: "What kind of physical pain? General Xue punishes people, most importantly, not lightly or severely. General Jiang made a mistake before, but now General Xue insists on holding the stick by himself."

The severe punishment, I don’t know if it was intentional or not, broke three of General Jiang’s ribs, and he was bedridden for more than a year before he fully recovered..."

The general Jiang mentioned by the lieutenant is Jiang Yuehe. He will stay in Lixian County this time and become the captain here, guarding the 'granary' for King Lu.

When General Qi heard the deputy general beside him mention Jiang Yuehe, a look of regret flashed in his eyes.

If something like General Jiang does not happen, he will probably stay in this county and become a 'food keeper'. It is a pity that a man like General Jiang will never be able to see the battlefield again.

Already......

The night curtain spreads out its huge black body, and a few bright stars appear even more lonely against the backdrop of the dark night.

There is still more than half an hour before the next martial law search of the entire county governor's mansion. In the corridors of the mansion, there are a few slaves busy with their own tasks. When they see Lin Zhihuang approaching, they will kneel down in fear.

kowtow.

The patrolmen, armed with spears in their hands, formed a team of twenty and patrolled the county governor's house.

On the way to his courtyard, Lin Zhihuang encountered six waves of patrols. It can be said that the county governor's mansion was tightly guarded without blind spots.

"Hu San, is this here?" Lin Zhihuang stopped in front of a courtyard and confirmed in a low voice to Hu San behind him.

"That's it. On the day of the assassination, dozens of people died at the banquet. Because the palace was closed, they were not transported out of the governor's mansion. The yard where the sundries were stored was temporarily used as a corpse pile. The slaves were very taboo about this place.

, no one wants to pass here these two days." Hu San stepped forward and whispered back in Lin Zhihuang's ear.

After Lin Zhihuang got the definite answer, he took off the mutton-fat jade pendant from his waist and threw it quietly to the flower garden at the entrance of the courtyard.
