Chapter 348 I Won't Forgive You

Some news cannot be concealed.

Although the government has tried its best to conceal it, there are still many rumors circulating.

As time goes by, various speculations are increasing.

Especially since the captain has not appeared for many days and his whereabouts are unknown, more and more people are ready to move and can't sit still.

When many people went to Zhou Mansion, they could only see the closed door. There were three circles of guards outside the door and three circles inside the door.

Be on guard.

Strict!

Gives people a sense of oppression and tension.

Something happened!

Although they don't know what happened, many people vaguely realize that... something big must have happened!

Many people began to inquire through various means to try to find out a little truth.

The Zhou family is not just the Zhou family.

In recent years, Zhou Qin has firmly held the position of the county captain, and relying on the Zhou family's years of hard work, he has built a network of connections in the county.

This network is inseparable, and everyone will suffer if one is damaged.

Therefore, when something happened to the Zhou family, countless people immediately became nervous.

Especially when some people speculated that something might have happened to Zhou Qin, many people had already started to prepare for a way out...

In fact, as early as when the prefect airdropped to the county city, many people had already been mentally prepared.

After the previous prefect retired, it was thought that Zhou Qin, as a captain, could take a step forward. Unexpectedly, the court transferred a prefect directly from the capital, blocking Zhou Qin's promotion plan.

Many people knew what this meant.

The court's move was to prevent Zhou Qin from becoming the only one in power and to prevent the Zhou family from becoming the actual ruler of the county city.

Chaoyang County, as the county head in Nanzhou, is also the economic center of Nanzhou, and its status is of utmost importance.

And this airdropped prefect is the spokesperson of the court, representing the power of the court, and competing with the local clans in Chaoyang County.

Therefore, as soon as the prefect arrived in the county city, he immediately began to seize power with Zhou Qin. Standing behind him were people from the imperial court. Even though Zhou Qin did not take the new governor seriously, he had to be wary of the power behind him.

Therefore, many people knew that there would be conflicts between the governor and the captain sooner or later, and sooner or later there would be a day when the truth would be revealed.

What the outcome would be was unknown.

But many people had already begun to prepare for a retreat in secret.

Of course, most of the officials and forces in the county city stood on Zhou Qin's side, maintaining the network of interests that originally belonged to them.

But... no one was willing to compete with the court.

Therefore, when the major families heard the news, they had already begun to prepare for a retreat.

No matter what the outcome would be between the governor and the captain... for them, as long as it did not harm their interests, nothing mattered.

...

County city, governor's mansion.

Inner courtyard, in the room.

Chen Yannan stood by the bed in the room, looking a little anxious. There was also a beautiful woman following him, who was his wife.

Both of them looked at the bed.

A little girl was lying on the bed, it was their daughter Yaoyao.

At this time, Li Beifeng, who was beside the bed, slowly took out the needle.

He covered the little girl with clothes, got up and went behind the screen.

Chen Yannan, who was beside him, hurriedly followed: "Little Doctor Li, Yao'er..."

"She has recovered very well, and there is nothing wrong with her now!"

Li Beifeng shook his head: "She was not poisoned deeply, and she was found in time. In addition, she has been well nursed during this period, and she has recovered very well. There will be no sequelae..."

Hearing this, Chen Yannan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yao'er has always been the most worrying point in his heart. Hearing that Yao'er is finally fine, he is completely relieved.

"Great!"

Chen Yannan looked at him excitedly: "It's really thanks to you, Little Doctor Li..."

"It's just a little effort, Lord Chen doesn't have to do this..."

Li Beifeng shook his head and glanced at him: "Lord Chen... How about talking to me for a moment?"

Chen Yannan was startled and understood something.

"Okay!"

"..."

Another room.

The servants brought a table of delicious food and wine, and Li Beifeng and Chen Yannan sat down opposite each other.

Chen Yannan stood up and poured a glass of wine for Li Beifeng, then raised the glass and said with gratitude: "No matter what, I have to thank you, Little Doctor Li... If it weren't for you, Little Doctor Li, saving Yao'er again and again, the consequences would be disastrous..."

"I, Chen, will remember this favor. If Little Doctor Li can be used in the future, Chen will definitely repay this favor..."

Chen Yannan was sincerely grateful to Li Beifeng.

The appearance of Little Doctor Li in front of him was like a gift from heaven.

He saved Yao'er's life many times, and this great kindness was really beyond repayment.

"Mr. Chen, you are too kind..."

Li Beifeng waved his hand, "In fact, I should also thank Mr. Chen. If it weren't for Mr. Chen, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get away so easily this time..."

A few days ago, Li Beifeng was surrounded by heavy troops of Zhou and Qin at the foot of Xijiao Mountain. At that time, Chen Yannan arrived and tried his best to stop Zhou Qin. Although he failed to stop Zhou Qin, he bought Li Beifeng a lot of time.

Chen Yannan felt guilty: "Speaking of this, I didn't help Li Xiaoshen Doctor much. On the contrary, Li Xiaoshen Doctor's identity really surprised me!"

He looked at Li Beifeng, and his eyes couldn't help but be surprised.

The guardian of Qin Tiansi...

This identity was enough to surprise him.

Although in terms of identity, the prefect of the county city is higher than the guardian of the Imperial Astronomy Department in terms of status.

But the Imperial Astronomy Department is a special existence after all, and has great power. Even the officials in the capital are afraid of it.

Therefore, as the guardian of the Imperial Astronomy Department, Li Beifeng represents not only the Imperial Astronomy Department, but also the imperial power behind the Imperial Astronomy Department!

It is precisely for this reason that the status of the Imperial Astronomy Department is so special.

"Speaking of which, it is probably a coincidence!"

Li Beifeng shook his head: "I became the guardian of the Imperial Astronomy Department, probably because of good luck, not worth mentioning..."

He did not explain too much, and Chen Yanan did not continue to ask more.

There are indeed many secrets in Li Xiaoshenyi, but Chen Yanan did not delve into it.

Li Xiaoshenyi is his benefactor, that's enough.

As for the others, although he is curious, he will not take the initiative to explore.

"Master Chen, that Zhou Qin..."

Li Beifeng finally brought up the business.

Chen Yannan's eyes also condensed. He knew that Li Beifeng came here today, in addition to checking Yao'er's body, the most important thing was this matter.

"Zhou Qin, he is too reckless!"

Chen Yannan's voice was slightly gloomy: "He actually used the county city's soldiers and horses for his own selfishness... This is a taboo. I have reported this to the court, and I believe there will be a result soon."

"Then he..."

Li Beifeng's eyes were meaningful: "What will happen?"

Seeing Li Beifeng's concern, Chen Yannan paused for a moment and sighed slightly.

"Zhou Qin has been running the county city for many years. It is difficult to completely uproot him and the power behind him... However, this time, it is enough to make him drink a pot!"

A few traces of anger appeared on Chen Yannan's face: "Since I came to the county city, he has been against me everywhere, and has been secretly disobeying me many times..."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Li Xiaoshen Doctor, for this matter!"

Chen Yannan looked at Li Beifeng: "This time, I was able to take down Zhou Qin, thanks to Li Xiaoshen Doctor and the masters of Qin Tiansi. Although this time I can't completely overthrow him, but... it's enough!"

"He mobilized the troops of the county city at will, how can the court tolerate him? The mobilization of troops in this county city and Nanzhou will probably not be his turn in the future!"

Chen Yannan didn't continue to speak, but Li Beifeng already understood!

Zhou Qin is just a captain, why dare to compete with the governor sent by the court?

In addition to the power he has painstakingly built up over the years, more importantly, he has military power!

As the commander of Chaoyang County, Zhou Qin not only controls the city defense and military affairs near the county town, but also has a great say in the barracks in Nanzhou.

But after this incident, how could the court sit idly by?

Zhou Qin naturally lost the military power!

Once he lost the military power, Chen Yannan no longer needed to be afraid of him.

It would be easy to deal with him at that time.

"I see!"

Li Beifeng nodded slightly, he looked at Chen Yannan, raised the wine glass in his hand: "Then I... congratulate Mr. Chen in advance. Without his poison, I hope Mr. Chen can continue to benefit the people of Nanzhou. Nanzhou has Mr. Chen, which is a blessing for the people of Nanzhou..."

"I don't deserve it!"

Chen Yannan shook his head: "I am just an ordinary bureaucrat, how can I deserve such praise. I can only do my best and do my duty to keep the people of Nanzhou away from war and suffer less..."

When he said this, Chen Yannan seemed to remember something and sighed slightly.

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean? Could it be that something happened?" Li Beifeng noticed something.

Chen Yannan glanced at him and sighed, "Little Doctor Li, you don't know that Dazhao is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface... You see the territory of Nanzhou, which is bustling with music and singing every night. But behind this prosperity, it is full of holes and unbearable to look at..."

"The emperor in the capital has been ignoring the government for a long time. In the court, officials and factions are everywhere, and the six ministries of the court are fighting and calculating against each other, making the whole court a mess. If it weren't for the high prestige of Prime Minister Su, who was struggling to support the court, the people of the people would be harmed by them..."

When he said this, Chen Yannan's tone was obviously a little angry.

He came from the capital, so he was naturally very familiar with the struggles among officials in the court.

The court now has no hope and is in a critical condition.

"Even they are fighting openly and secretly, framing each other to seize power. Under such circumstances, how many people will care about the people of the world?"

"In the territory of Beizhou, rebellions have occurred frequently in recent years, and the people are living in misery... However, the court still sits on the sidelines. The atmosphere of Beizhou has spread to Zhongzhou, and even Nanzhou is no exception..."

"My Dazhao is in danger!"

Chen Yannan's last tone was a sigh, a pity, unwillingness, anger, and regret...

As a minister of Dazhao, he could only watch Dazhao from its former prosperity to its current state.

Sad!

Infuriating!

At this time, Li Beifeng's eyes condensed: "Master Chen, why do you say that?"

Dazhao is in danger?

Although Dazhao is indeed riddled with holes now, in Li Beifeng's view, this is a stage that a feudal dynasty must go through.

Now it seems that the Jokhang Dynasty is indeed in decline.

But after all, it is not easy for such a large dynasty to collapse in a short time, unless...

"There are frequent uprisings in Beizhou, and the old Northern Qi tribe is still watching..."

Chen Yannan's face was slightly gloomy and he said solemnly: "Seventeen or eighteen years ago, the Great Zhao destroyed the Northern Qi. Although it destroyed the main army of the Northern Qi, it failed to eradicate it... Over the years, the old troops of the Northern Qi are still there, and even continue to grow. They are here Hiding, waiting for the opportunity, they want to restore the country..."

"But what about us? What about our Jokhang officials? They are immersed in the dream of heaven and earth, and have no idea of ​​the danger..."

There was a hint of danger in Chen Yannan's eyes: "A few days ago, I received some intelligence from Beizhou... Beizhou, I'm afraid there will be chaos!"

Li Beifeng seemed to realize something: "Did the old Northern Qi tribe rebel?"

"Not yet, but probably... soon!"

Chen Yannan took a deep breath, with a sad look in his eyes: "I have long asserted that the old troops of Northern Qi will come back sooner or later... That battle back then should not have been fought!"

"Back then, in order to divert domestic conflicts and expand externally, His Majesty pointed the finger at the Northern Qi Dynasty. Although the Northern Qi Dynasty was eventually destroyed, he also resorted to militarism and was severely damaged. What's more important is that to this day, he has not been able to completely tame Beizhou... It can be said to be an extremely ill-advised move..."

Li Beifeng took a high look at Mr. Chen in front of him.

The battle to destroy the Northern Qi Dynasty was the most proud achievement of the Emperor of Zhao.

He even thought that his achievements and honors were as good as those of the founder of the Zhao Dynasty. Under the bragging of those sycophantic ministers, he felt even more proud. He felt that he was the emperor of the ages, and he almost went to become a Zen...

However, Chen Yannan in front of him said directly that it was a mistake to destroy Northern Qi.

It is enough to tell that Mr. Chen in front of him is probably one of the few people in the officialdom of Jokhang today who dares to tell the truth.

Moreover, the fact that Chen Yannan was able to tell Li Beifeng these things was enough to show that he regarded Li Beifeng as one of his own.

Otherwise, if his remarks were to spread, it would definitely be extremely detrimental to him.

"Master Chen, be careful what you say!"

Li Beifeng reminded.

"I know, it's just...I'm not willing to accept it!"

Chen Yannan finally shook his head, so what if he didn't give in.

He is powerless to change.

"Sooner or later there will be a battle between the old Northern Qi tribe and Dazhao, and I have a hunch... I'm afraid it's not far away..."

As if realizing something, Chen Yannan took a deep breath and said in a slightly heavy tone: "Beizhou is too far away from Nanzhou, so I don't know what happened. I just hope that if the war really breaks out, there will be fewer people involved. People..."

At this time, Li Beifeng's heart suddenly moved, and he looked at Chen Yannan in front of him.

He is the governor of Chaoyang County.

This official position, in later generations, can be regarded as a feudal official...

Of course, there is a big gap between him and the real feudal officials.

but……

Chen Yannan has a huge say in Nanzhou.

Especially this time with the fall of Zhou and Qin, the military power in his hands will inevitably be vacated.

When the time comes, who will lose this military power?

it goes without saying!

And if Chen Yannan holds both political power and military power in Nanzhou, his status cannot be underestimated.

Li Beifeng suddenly said: "Master Chen, I have a doubt. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"

Chen Yannan waved his hand: "Please tell me, there is no need to be so polite between you and me!"

"Then I'll be blunt, Mr. Chen, I would like to ask, if, what I am talking about is joining..."

"The old troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty have really rebelled, and when the war comes to Nanzhou, then..."

Li Beifeng looked at him: "What will you do?"

Chen Yannan hesitated.

Obviously he didn't expect Li Beifeng to ask such a question.

This question stopped him.

Li Beifeng continued: "Mr. Chen, as the parent official of Nanzhou, you naturally don't want the people of Nanzhou to suffer from the war. But what should we do if that day comes?"

"Did Mr. Chen choose to avoid fighting for the sake of the people of Nanzhou. Or... get involved?"

Chen Yannan fell silent.

He didn't speak for a long time.

It's a tough choice!

After a while, Chen Yannan shook his head: "I don't know about this either. But...if the war really reaches Nanzhou, it means that the Great Zhao is in danger..."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid it won't be up to me to decide whether it's life or death..."

"..."

"Little Miracle Doctor Li, why do you suddenly ask this question?"

Chen Yannan suddenly looked at Li Beifeng.

Li Beifeng smiled: "As ordinary people, we don't understand the affairs of the court. But no matter how hard the court tries, the people will suffer in the end... I just hope there will be less war!"

"Little Miracle Doctor Li is kind and admirable..."

"Actually, I came to see you today, Mr. Chen, for one more thing..."

Li Beifeng paused and said, "I'm here to say goodbye to Mr. Chen!"

"Farewell?"

Chen Yannan was stunned: "Little Miracle Doctor Li, are you going... to go back?"

He instinctively thought that Li Beifeng was going back to Ping'an County.

Li Beifeng shook his head: "No, I want to go out and see the outside world while I'm still young..."

Chen Yannan showed some envy: "I envy Li Xiaoshen Doctor. It's a good thing to go out and see the outside world while you're still young... Where are you going?"

"Not sure yet, let's go north... Maybe, go to Beizhou!"

"Beizhou?"

Chen Yannan was stunned: "You want to go to Beizhou?"

"I want to see what the legendary Beizhou looks like!" Li Beifeng smiled.

Chen Yannan originally wanted to dissuade him, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.

"Since Little Doctor Li has made the decision, I won't say much. It's just that there is chaos in Beizhou, so you must be careful!"

"Thank you, Lord Chen, for your concern."

"Speaking of which, if you go to Beizhou, you will most likely have to pass through the capital. Along the way to the county city, I have made many good friends. There are also some of my close friends in the capital..."

Chen Yannan looked at Li Beifeng: "I will write a letter and ask them to take care of you along the way. If you have any difficulties, you can go directly to them and they can help you a little..."

"..."

Coming out of the prefectural mansion.

Li Beifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced back at the prefectural mansion and was silent for a moment.

This Lord Chen is indeed a man of temperament.

However, Li Beifeng's mood is a bit complicated.

As he said, Beizhou is going to be in chaos.

Once Beizhou is in chaos, it will inevitably involve the entire Dazhao.

Can Nanzhou not be in chaos?

It's very uncomfortable!

No one is sure how many spies from the old Northern Qi in Nanzhou are.

And he...

Li Beifeng is even more uncertain about his identity. He also doesn't know whether he will stand on the opposite side of Mr. Chen one day in the future...

What should he do if he really fights against him at that time?

Difficult! Difficult!

Li Beifeng shook his head and didn't think about it for the time being.

Before leaving the county city, he still needs to visit some people.

At the same time...

Get rid of some people!

His eyes looked in a direction not far away.

His eyes were calm.

Some people should die!

...

Night fell.

In Zhou's mansion.

Silence.

A girl in a light dress sat on the roof of the attic, looking up at the starry sky quietly.

The cold wind at night was a bit strong!

But she didn't care at all and was indifferent.

Downstairs, the figure of the housekeeper appeared.

"Miss!"

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the young lady, there is no suspicious sign, everything is very normal..."

"Got it, keep guarding!"

"Yes!"

"..."

The housekeeper left, and the girl's eyes were still calm, looking up at the sky.

There were no stars in the dark sky.

There was only a cold wind blowing between heaven and earth.

In the distance, the whole county city was dotted with stars, and it was still prosperous.

The originally silent sky, after an unknown period of time.

Suddenly...

Several black dots appeared in the distance, constantly approaching.

These black dots approached and gradually became several dark figures.

They approached Zhou Mansion at a very fast speed, and their hidden figures quickly approached Zhou Mansion.

However, all of this fell into the eyes of the girl.

"Is it coming?"

The girl whispered softly.

Finally coming!

He finally came.

Her eyes were cold, and she let the dark figures approach until they groped to the wall outside Zhou Mansion.

The girl moved!

She slowly stood up, took a step, and jumped down from the attic.

Very fast!

Like a fairy descending to earth, she quickly flew over the eaves and walls in the night.

Not long after, she landed on the wall, blocking the way of several men in black.

She looked at these people with cold eyes, put her hands behind her back, and said coldly: "Go back and tell your master, don't waste your time!"

The men in black did not make a sound, and they approached quickly.

At the same time, in the dark night, they showed their weapons.

A series of cold lights lit up in the dark alley, and several black shadows jumped up at the same time.

From different directions, they quickly came towards the girl.

The girl stood in place, still motionless.

Until the moment when several figures approached, she made a move.

The speed was extremely fast, so fast that it was almost unnoticed by the naked eye.

"Bang!"

A black shadow was directly knocked out.

The girl disappeared in place.

The next second, she appeared behind another black shadow.

Another fierce hand strike.

Another man in black fell down.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the last man in black, and said calmly: "Are you coming again?"

The rest of the black shadow was masked, but she could still feel the fear in his eyes.

Strong!

Too strong!

Where did this woman come from?

Why is there such a powerful woman in the county city!

However, the man in black knew that he was no match, but he did not retreat.

He clenched the sword in his hand and pointed it at her.

"Don't overestimate your own ability!"

The girl spoke softly.

She slowly raised her hand.

The majestic internal force emerged, lifting up a locust tree in the yard next to her.

The leaves fell one after another.

She waved again.

In an instant, the fallen leaves suddenly seemed to have strength. It instantly changed direction and swept towards the man in black.

The man in black's eyes suddenly widened.

Picking flowers and leaves? !

The man in black raised his sword and quickly blocked it.

"bite!"

When the sword hit the fallen leaves, it made a crisp sound as if it were hitting a metal object.

"puff……"

The figure of the man in black retreated continuously, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out.

All the leaves have fallen.

The girl stretched out her hand, and the last fallen leaf fell on her hand.

Playing with the leaves in her hands, she glanced at the last man in black: "Are you coming again?"

The man in black was shaky and tried to stand up.

"Oh!"

The last leaf in his hand was taken out instantly.

Like a ferocious hidden weapon, its murderous intent is revealed.

"Bang!"

Leaves dug into the wall where the man in black was holding his hand.

The next second, there was a loud explosion!

The leaves containing internal energy exploded instantly.

Such power is frightening.

The man in black who had just stood up suddenly fell down again.

"..."

The girl who saw this scene raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

She was still standing on the wall, glanced not far away, and frowned slightly.

That's it?

If he really wanted to come, would he just send a few people?

Are you looking down on yourself a little too much?

The girl vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Her eyes fell on the last man in black, and she said coldly: "How many of you are here?"

The man in black didn't speak, but looked at her with a slightly fearful look.

This look...

The girl's uneasiness became more and more obvious.

"housekeeper!"

The housekeeper quickly appeared under the wall, "Miss!"

"Is anyone else close?"

"Miss, there is no..."

The housekeeper shook his head. The area was heavily guarded and no one came close.

"Nobody?"

She still felt something was wrong.

"this……"

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and then said softly: "Not long ago, a servant who often came to deliver food to the house came to deliver food, but he has already left..."

Hearing this, the girl's eyes suddenly froze.

"Something's wrong!"

"go back!"

"..."

In the dark and deserted corridor, a figure dressed like a servant of the Zhou family came to the door of the inner courtyard room carrying something.

The guard at the door stopped him: "Who is it?"

"The young lady ordered me to deliver medicine to the young master..."

The two guards looked seriously and looked down at the medicine given by the visitor.

After making sure there was no problem, he let the person in.

Stepping into the inner courtyard, he came to the door of the room and knocked on the door.

"Get out!"

Zhou Zhongzheng's irritable voice came from the room.

The servant's voice was slightly hoarse: "Sir, let me bring you medicine!"

"roll!"

The voices in the room were extremely violent.

"Squeak!"

The door to the room was pushed open, and the servant stepped into the room.

On the bed, Zhou Zhongzheng looked ferocious and irritable.

Ever since he woke up, he has looked like this.

The servants in the house did not dare to provoke him, and many of the maids who served him were frightened to tears.

Therefore, there was no one else in the room at this time.

The servant came to the bedside with the medicine.

"Are you deaf? I told you to get out, didn't you hear?"

Mid-week is a time of irritability and anger.

"Sir, it's time to take medicine!"

The servant said calmly: "Miss said that this medicine was brought from the miraculous doctor Luo. It can heal your legs, sir, and has a miraculous effect on recovery..."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhong was stunned for a moment.

His legs are his biggest taboo now.

When he heard that it could heal his legs, he suddenly stared at the servant: "Really?"

"Don't you dare lie to me, sir!" The servant lowered his head.

"Bring the medicine!"

Zhou Zhongzheng was silent for a moment and then spoke.

The servant came forward with medicine.

Zhongzhou picked up the medicine bowl and was about to drink it.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and glanced up at the servant: "Why are you so unfamiliar? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The servant whispered: "I just came to the house not long ago..."

Zhou Zhongzheng's eyes instantly became alert: "You just came?! Who are you?!"

Zhou Zhongzheng was naturally extremely wary of people who had just arrived in the house.

"Sir, drink the medicine first!"

"I don't drink, who are you?"

Zhou Zhongzheng became increasingly vigilant, and he immediately opened his mouth to shout.

However, before he could shout out. The servant suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his throat.

Zhou Zhongzheng was immediately unable to move at all, and his desperate struggles were of no avail.

"Since you don't want to drink, then I can only help you!"

The servant expressionlessly picked up the bowl and poured all the medicine in the bowl into Zhou Zhongzheng's mouth.

"Well..."

Zhongzhou was struggling desperately, but to no avail.

"Young Master asked me to tell you something!"

After pouring the medicine, the servant looked at Zhou Zhongzheng, who looked frightened, and spoke softly.

"Evil will be punished. Master, let you... die in peace!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant slapped him on the back of the head.

Zhou Zhongzheng fainted instantly.

Just as the servant was packing up his things, footsteps were heard from the door not far away.

His eyes suddenly condensed, he quickly came to the window next to him, and quickly climbed through the window and left.

…

"Bang!"

The room door was knocked open.

Zhou Qiuning's figure appeared in the room, followed closely by the housekeeper who looked anxious and nervous.

"Master, Master, are you okay?"

The butler quickly stepped forward and spoke anxiously.

"Young Master has passed out... he's still breathing, he's fine..."

After checking it, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing the news, Zhou Qiuning frowned slightly. She quickly came to the bed and glanced at Zhou Zhongzheng on the bed.

Passed out?

As if she noticed something, she turned around and glanced around the room, vaguely smelling something.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"There's an assassin!"

Her eyes suddenly condensed, and she quickly turned around and went out.

…

early morning.

Li Beifeng got up from the inn room as usual.

Wash up and go downstairs for breakfast.

Xiaoerergou has already prepared breakfast.

While eating breakfast, Ergou talked about some gossip news that happened in the county recently.

After finishing breakfast, Li Beifeng stood up, said hello to the shopkeeper, and prepared to go out.

He is going to Luo Lao's appointment!

After agreeing to Mr. Luo last time, I didn't have time to visit him yet.

We are about to leave the county town, so we should go and say hello, both emotionally and logically.

However, Li Beifeng stopped just after leaving the inn door.

Outside the inn door, a figure stood blocking his way.

Li Beifeng's eyes were calm: "Why are you here?"

"How did you do that!"

Her tone was neither sad nor happy, and no emotion could be heard.

"I don't understand what you are saying. I have something else to do. Let's go first!"

Li Beifeng shook his head, turned and left.

"How did you kill him?"

Li Beifeng stopped and glanced at her: "What did you say? When did I kill someone?"

"Can you fool me?"

She stared at Li Beifeng, "It's true that I underestimated you!"

"I don't understand what you are saying!"

Li Beifeng still shook his head and turned to leave.

She was left standing there, staring at Li Beifeng's leaving figure, with no emotion in her eyes.

…

"Are you going to Beizhou?"

When Mr. Luo heard the news, he was very surprised.

"Yes, I plan to go to Beizhou to verify my suspicion!"

Li Beifeng spoke.

"I see……"

Mr. Luo nodded. Li Beifeng had asked him about some information about Beizhou and Yaowang Valley before.

Now that Li Beifeng is going to Beizhou, he is not too surprised.

"It's just a pity. I just came back from Beizhou not long ago. Otherwise, I would like to go there again..."

Mr. Luo shook his head: "What are your plans for going to Beizhou this time?"

"We don't know yet!" Li Beifeng shook his head.

"Then when will you come back?"

"Not sure either..."

Mr. Luo sighed: "What a pity!"

"I originally wanted to win you over to the Jishihui, but now it seems that you really don't have that ambition!" Mr. Luo sighed with emotion.

Li Beifeng said: "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for your kindness. If you are free in the future, I will definitely come back to see you, Mr. Luo!"

"I don't know how many more years I can live with my old bones!"

Mr. Luo waved his hands and sighed: "Since I have decided to go, I can't say anything more. The road to Beizhou is long, so be careful along the way..."

"Thank you, Mr. Luo, for your concern!"

"..."

After visiting Mr. Luo, Li Beifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The people who need to be visited have been visited!

The preparations are almost complete.

Next, it’s time to plan to leave!

Just when he was about to leave.

Suddenly, a murderous aura suddenly struck.

Li Beifeng's whole body was tense.

The figure retreated quickly.

"bite!"

A flying sword was inserted into the position where Li Beifeng was just now.

There is an extra hole in the ground.

Li Beifeng's eyes were alert and he raised his head suddenly.

Not far away, a figure appeared in the line of sight.

She is wearing a light red dress and her black hair is extremely eye-catching.

However, when Li Beifeng saw her, his tense body relaxed.

"What do you mean?"

"He's dead!"

Zhou Qiuning's voice was neither cold nor hot, and there was still no emotion.

Dead?

Who died?

Zhongzheng is dead?

Li Beifeng's expression calmed down.

"So...you think I am the murderer and you come to me for revenge?"

"What if?"

She spoke slowly.

"What evidence do you have that I am the murderer?"

"Need evidence?"

She looked at Li Beifeng: "Did you lie to me?"

"But you have no proof!"

"Oh!"

Zhou Qiuning glanced at him: "I don't need evidence!"

"You don't need evidence, you're just slandering me!"

"..."

"Draw your sword!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Don't say I bullied you!"

Zhou Qiuning spoke coldly.

The next second, she waved her hand.

A strong strong wind swept over.

Li Beifeng dodged again.

"Bang!"

"Are you serious?"

"If you don't resist, you will die!"

Her voice was still cold.

The next second, she approached, and her figure was approaching Li Beifeng'er.

She was really serious? ! !

Li Beifeng's eyes condensed.

Knowing that she was not joking, he also took it seriously.

He quickly pulled out the sword on the ground and raised the sword to resist.

"Boom!"

The explosion sounded.

The collision of internal forces instantly erupted with a strong explosion.

Luo Lao shook his head: "What are your plans for going to Beizhou this time?"

"I don't know yet!" Li Beifeng shook his head.

"Then when will you come back?"

"I'm not sure..."

Luo Lao sighed: "What a pity!"

"I wanted to win you over to the Jishihui, but now it seems that you are not interested in this!" Luo Lao sighed.

Li Beifeng said: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Luo. If I have time in the future, I will definitely come back to see you!"

"I am an old man, I don't know how many more years I can live!"

Mr. Luo waved his hand and sighed: "Since you have decided to go, I won't say much. The journey to Beizhou is long, be careful along the way..."

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Luo!"

"..."

After visiting Mr. Luo, Li Beifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The people he should visit have been visited!

The preparations are almost done.

Next, it's time to leave!

Just as he was about to leave.

Suddenly, a murderous aura suddenly hit him.

Li Beifeng tensed up.

He quickly retreated.

"Ding!"

A flying sword was inserted into the place where Li Beifeng was just now.

There was a hole on the ground.

Li Beifeng looked alert and raised his head suddenly.

Not far away, a figure appeared in his sight.

A light red long skirt and a head of black hair were extremely eye-catching.

However, when Li Beifeng saw her, his tense body relaxed.

"What do you mean?"

"He's dead!"

Zhou Qiuning's voice was neither cold nor hot, and no emotion could be heard.

Dead?

Who died?

Zhou Zhongzheng died?

Li Beifeng's face calmed down.

"So... you think I'm the murderer and come to me for revenge?"

"What else?"

She spoke slowly.

"What evidence do you have that I'm the murderer?"

"Do you need evidence?"

She stared at Li Beifeng: "Can you fool me?"

"But you don't have evidence!"

"Heh!"

Zhou Qiuning glanced at him: "I don't need evidence!"

"You are accusing me if you don't need evidence!"

"..."

"Draw your sword!"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't say I'm bullying you!"

Zhou Qiuning spoke coldly.

The next second, she waved her hand.

A strong gust of wind swept over.

Li Beifeng dodged again.

"Bang!"

"Are you serious?"

"If you don't resist, you'll die!"

Her voice was still cold.

The next second, she approached, and her figure was approaching Li Beifeng'er.

She really meant it? ! !

Li Beifeng's eyes condensed.

Knowing that she was not joking, he took it seriously.
