Only then did Li Xun realize that the governor of Minzhou was afraid that he and others would go to the city to perform tooth sacrifices. This was also a bad habit of the army. The border areas were somewhat different from the inland areas. Many cities in the inland areas did not have strong defensive forces, and some had no defenders at all.

We only rely on government officials to maintain public order, so in terms of the system, there is no ultimatum from the court, and troops with more than a hundred people are not allowed to enter the city at will. In border cities, wars are frequent and troop mobilizations are also frequent, so the limit is relaxed to 500 people.

When Li Xun and his five hundred people entered Minhuang County, they could eat and drink well. However, if the expenses for food and drink were not paid, the bill would eventually fall on the local government. Seven prefectures in the west of Longyou

, has been devastated for many years under the rule of the Dashi Empire. Now that the war has just ended, hundreds of industries are waiting to be prospered, people's livelihood is declining, and the people's lives are extremely difficult.

Li Xun didn't say much, just said that he was passing by and would not enter the city, and led everyone away.

"Boss, this person is too rude. Even if we go to the city to eat and drink, it's not like we won't pay, so why are you driving us away like this?"

Li Xun said quietly: "This man is a good official."

Jiang Daxiong snorted: "I don't think it looks like it."

Li Xun smiled and said: "Daxiong, this official has no reason to offend me. Even if we go to the city to have a meal and leave, he will not lose anything. At most, he will just spread the cost equally to the people. Now he is trying to persuade me to leave.

It is also to avoid increasing the burden on the people. Do you think such officials are good or bad?"

After hearing this, Jiang Daxiong suddenly realized, nodded and said: "So, this person is really a good official."

"If an official is willing to think about the people, no matter how bad he is, he won't be far behind."

Shan Qiu immediately stepped forward and said: "Li Xun, come and report from the scouting horse. There is a very good terrain ahead. Let's camp on the spot and rest!"

Li Xun glanced at the sky, nodded and said, "You can arrange it!"

After marching for more than fifty miles, it was getting dark, and everyone began to set up camp and light fires to cook food.

Maybe it was because he didn't have a good rest last night, or maybe he was frightened. You Min looked a little bad, was low in energy, and looked quite pale. He didn't eat anything for dinner, and he never came out of the carriage.

Li Xun walked around the military camp and came to the main tent. The food had been served.

"Where is Zhao Wei?"

After Li Xun sat down, he didn't see Zhao Wei and asked aloud.

Although Li Xun is far inferior to Shan Qiu in terms of seniority, age, ability and prestige, Li Xun is the leader of an army after all. No matter how good the relationship between the two is, some necessary etiquette must be followed, such as having meals prepared early.

When the food was served, Li Xun stopped, Shan Qiu would never eat first by himself.

"He will be responsible for setting up camp tonight."

Shan Qiu picked up the bowl and started eating.

Li Xun chuckled and said, "Brother Shan, you have also learned to be lazy."

Shan Qiu smiled and said: "Zhao Wei is good at guarding and has a lot of knowledge about troop formation. If you leave this matter of setting up camp and defense to him, the effect will definitely be much better than if I did it."

Li Xun nodded. Zhao Wei is a very deep man, talks little, and his martial arts skills are pretty good. However, among Shanqiu and Jiang Daxiong, he is also the worst. But everyone has their own advantages. Zhao Wei's

The advantage is that he is as stable as a mountain. His fighting style is exactly the opposite of Mao Anfu's. He is more righteous and less cunning. He is good at arranging troops and confronting the enemy head-on. He is also a good player in defense, but he is a centrist in single-attack.

All are OK, but none are very good.

Li Xun picked up his bowl and chopsticks and had just eaten two mouthfuls of rice when a soldier came in and reported: "General, someone wants to see you."

Li Xun was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Who in this wilderness would come to your door and ask for an audience?"

The soldier replied: "It's a man named Zhou Qing."

Zhou Qing?

Li Xun laughed and said: "It turns out to be this kid, let him come over."

Wuzhou is a governor state, so there are two sets of governing bodies, one is the local government, the chief is the governor, and the other is the governor's office. The chief is naturally the governor Li Xun, and below are the chief officials of the governor's office. This official position, the imperial court

Zhou Qing was appointed to take charge. This was a fifth-grade official position. He was only a seventh-grade censor in Fengjing. He had been promoted several levels in a row. However, Zhou Qing did not want to come to Wuzhou.

The refusal was severely rejected by the officials. Before leaving Beijing, Li Xun also sent someone to notify Zhou Qing and asked him to follow his brigade on the road. However, he did not receive any response, so Li Xun ignored him. Unexpectedly,

Today, I found him automatically.

After a while, Lei Wanhai led Zhou Qing and five soldiers into the tent.

"Zhou Qing, have you eaten yet? If not, sit down and eat together."

Li Xun greeted him politely.

Zhou Qing had a sullen face and said nothing. The soldiers around him looked at each other. No matter what the relationship between Zhou Qing and Li Xun was or whether they were celebrating a holiday, they quickly bowed and said: "General, we have worked hard all the way and are hungry.

Can I have some food?"

"It's a small thing."

Li Xun nodded and said to Lei Wanhai: "Take them out to eat and keep them full."

There is not much food in the army. It can barely sustain the last breakfast tomorrow. The nearest city is Guazhou City, which is more than three hundred miles away. It may not be possible to reach it in half a day. It may take at noon tomorrow.

Hungry for a meal.

The soldiers said thanks and then retreated with Lei Wanhai.

They were very dissatisfied with Zhou Qing. Li Xun had no luck with the trip, so they had to ask the court to send someone to escort them. This chore finally fell on them. They were originally going to rest in Minhuang County tonight.

, but Zhou Qing didn't know why he was so crazy, he insisted on walking at night to catch up with Li Xun, and now he has not eaten.

Li Xun said to Zhou Qing: "Zhou Qing, you don't look kind, are you here to cause trouble again?"

Zhou Qing frowned, came to sit next to Li Xun, and said in a deep voice: "Li Xun, why did you kill people and set fires in Zhiming County?"

Li Xun suddenly realized that it seemed that Zhou Qing was taking the same route as him, and also passed through Zhiming County. After knowing those things, he came to ask for details.

Li Xun told the story of the incident: "I have sent a letter to report this matter to the emperor. The story is clearly written. I am not killing people randomly."

Zhou Qing's brows relaxed and he said in surprise: "Who is so bold as to assassinate an important member of the imperial court?"

"Someone paid a huge price to bribe a non-governmental organization called Beijiang Society to assassinate me. I can't figure it out. I have always been honest as an official and I have never offended anyone. Who hates me to this extent?"

"You know whether you have done bad things or not, otherwise no one will hate you so much."

Zhou Qing mocked.

Li Xun rolled his eyes. He had already seen that Zhou Qing was a stubborn person, a typical angry young man. It didn't matter what your status was, just complain first.

"Zhou Qing, what's the matter with the injury on your face?"

Only then did Li Xun see that Zhou Qing's left eye had some purple bruises and bruises. It was obvious that he had been beaten by someone.

When Li Xun said this, Zhou Qing, whose attitude was not too bad, suddenly had a look of anger on his face. He glanced at Li Xun with hatred, snorted coldly, got up and walked away.

Li Xun is a little confused. Is it wrong to care about people?

Li Xun pointed to his head and said angrily: "There must be something wrong with this person's brain. Others care about him wrongly."
