"Strange!" In a spacious public room of the Handan County Temple, the lights were already lit because of the darkening sky. Under the lights, Wang Xiu, who was acting as the county's general affairs officer, frowned at the official document in his hand. "The official document is indeed correct.

, I have also sent someone to inform my family... But why was the date of signing this document four days ago? If you set out from Xiangcheng County four days ago, why did you, County Magistrate Zhen, rush to report it three days ago?

There is no mention of you in the official documents?”

"Forgive me, Prime Minister Wang," a tall official in the lead quickly leaned over and explained. "Such things are not something that we subordinates can know. Maybe it was a clerical error by my county king... I won't hide it from the county.

Cheng, I vaguely remember that the two official documents were sent from the front and back. I had not found this person before, so I sent the Kuai Ma official document first. Later, this person was found, and my county magistrate did not dare to delay Wulihou's important event.

, so he hurriedly wrote this official document and asked us to send this person over overnight."

"Maybe." Wang Xiu also agreed with this statement. "It is normal to make mistakes in a hurry. Please wait a moment, my county magistrate should summon you soon... This person has been caught in the rain and caught a cold.

Well, do you want to have a bowl of hot soup first?"

As he said that, Wang Shuzhi pointed at the person crawling on the ground. This should be the one on the document.

"Shangguan is overly worried." It was still the tall official who raised his hand to signal. "He is actually not seriously injured, but he was a little frightened when he met the gangster that day... A guest of the ranger who was raised by the Zhang family in the manor, he usually fights

He is very brave and fierce in fighting against the power of the master's family, and he is quite famous in our county. He has always been arrogant, but when he encountered a real battle, his deeds were inevitably exposed."

Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows and was about to ask a few more questions, but the official who reported the news outside the door had already returned, saying that the prince wanted to privately summon people from Xiangguo County in the backyard of the official temple, so he had to give up.

Since the meeting was in the backyard, it was not easy to see so many people. The official who came to report the news bluntly said that only two people could go there. So, the tall official picked up the stiff Zhang guest and followed him directly.

He followed the visitor to the backyard, while the other two or three attendants had no choice but to stay here.

After a few turns and turns, the two finally arrived at the backyard. As soon as the tall official came in, he just raised his eyes and saw four or five people waiting here.

However, it was only two of them that caught his attention the most.

The first one was sitting cross-legged next to the tables in the corridor. He was richly dressed, white-skinned, and had an extraordinary bearing. He was in the style of an aristocratic family. He was looking at himself curiously. However, what particularly attracted the attention of the tall officials was that this man was wearing this outfit at such a young age.

There is a rare golden seal with purple ribbons in the world, and behind him are three men dressed as county officials holding swords... Needless to say, this must be the Marquis of Wuwu Pavilion!

As for the other person, he was standing very forward, but standing outside the eaves of the corridor in the drizzle was a tall man. It was drizzling, and his face could not be seen clearly. His clothes were not particularly gorgeous, and judging from his position, he should be the same.

A bodyguard and the like... The reason why the tall officials noticed him was because the warrior instinctively knew that this man was the most courageous among these men wielding swords.

"Are you the official sent by Magistrate Zhen?" While the tall official was looking around, Wu Xihou, a man of extraordinary bearing, had already asked softly. "Come forward, the person in your hand is the person on the official document.

Is this the person who knows the truth?"

"Report to the Lord," the tall official, under the nervous gaze of two or three county officials on the opposite side, stepped directly onto the corridor and came a few steps in front of the other side. However, he directly threw the person in his hand to the ground. It turned out that this person did not know where he was.

At that time, he was already stunned by the method he used. "It's true that this person is an informed person, but I am not an official in Xiangguo County."

When Wu Wuhou heard this, he was startled, and then asked out of curiosity: "Then who are you?"

"Replying to your noble lord," the tall official bowed his hands in salute again, and then responded calmly. "I am an assassin. The people on this earth gave me a hundred gold, and asked me to come here to assassinate the king, so I can do this."

The corridor was speechless for a moment, but after a few breaths, the county officials standing behind Wuyouhou suddenly pulled out their sabers and confronted the man. One of them hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the unconscious man on the ground.

The man searched the bundle... and sure enough, a sharp blade was found in the man's arms.

Wuwutinghou, who was sitting cross-legged in the corridor, was also startled for a moment, but after all, he had an extraordinary bearing. After he came to his senses, he was calm and calm: "Looking at this situation, the warrior is not going to kill me? Otherwise, he won't know how to return after getting lost.

, capture this man and give it to me."

"But not necessarily." The tall assassin said calmly. "I just want to capture this person first. As for whether I have 'returned when I lost my way', there is still a question. If I can't figure it out, I will always be unwilling to accept it."

"This is the situation now..." Wuyouhou, who was sitting cross-legged, looked back at the county officials holding knives behind him, and couldn't help but laugh for a moment. "Well, you ask, I'm also curious why you want to temporarily

Change your mind!"

"It's not like I changed my mind temporarily." The tall assassin shook his head repeatedly. Even though he was surrounded by many people, he was still unafraid, and even felt a little more sexual. "The noble man knows this after being knocked unconscious by me.

Who is this person?"

Wuyouhou glanced at the unconscious man who had been tied up beside him, and shook his head slightly.

"This man is called Shen Hu, and he is a descendant of the Shen family of Zhao State. He is usually brave and fierce, but he is a knight-errant. He is quite famous in Zhao State, Wei County, Julu, and Changshan... That day, Shen

First, the three direct brothers of the clan were executed, and then they were exterminated by nobles to establish their authority. This man happened to be wandering around as a guest, so he hid in a friend's house and survived."

"I see," the Marquis said, not in a hurry. "This makes sense. If a mortal wants to do something, there must be a reason... whether it's revenge for a friend or revenge for the family, it's all there.

It makes sense. What about you, strong man, why do you mix with this person?"

"Me? I'm originally from Changshan. I worked as a ranger at first. Later, my family fell into decline and I had no choice but to hang out in the Taihang Mountains... Of course, not the Taihang Mountains in Handan, but in Xiangguo in the north, Bai people and even Changshan...

…Anyway, my previous reputation is still there, so I often go down the mountain to do some business.”

"It seems that your business is good, and the commission of 100 gold is not a small amount."

"But I was forced to have no choice." The assassin was a little moved at this time. "I have been famous in Changshan since I was young, and I got some mixed names. After I entered the Taihang Mountains, my name became bigger and bigger, so that I can no longer

A few people helped the old and young and went to join me in the mountains. In the end, they accumulated more and more, and it was difficult to support them, so they had no choice but to do this kind of business. Moreover, this person did not only give me a hundred gold, but he was also willing to provide me with food at a time when food is difficult in the mountains.

Offering thousands of stones of corn, I thought about the lack of food in the mountains, so I united with my friends in the Taihang Mountains in Xiangguo County and made a call for everyone to come down and help..."

"So that's it..." The Wuyouhou with the purple ribbon and gold seal was startled when he heard the words, and he also seemed to be a little awakened. "Since you are the leader of the Taihang bandits, you must have asked us about the annihilation of the mountains in Handan.

What happened to the gangsters? Do you want to plead for them? "

"No," the assassin immediately shook his head. "I lurked in the city for two days and got some information... With all due respect, since those people in the mountains are determined to resist, success or failure is up to them. Why bother asking? I just want to ask.

I would like to ask your noble lord, although the refugees you recruited before have been resettled, how can you ensure that these people will no longer be forced to go up the mountain over time? How do you plan to deal with them? As I said before, the Taihang Mountains stretch for thousands of miles.

Nowadays, more and more people are going up the mountain, but there are only one place in Handan for people coming down the mountain!"

Mr. Hou, who was sitting cross-legged, was speechless for a moment.

"To fulfill a duty, perform a responsibility, and do a thing, we can only say that we are doing our best." At this moment, in the drizzle that gradually became denser next to him, a person suddenly raised his voice and answered. "So those who are asking for help come down.

The people of our country will naturally be organized into households and live peacefully...what else do you want?"

The assassin was stunned for a moment, then looked back blankly, only to find that it was the tall guard standing outside the corridor who was speaking. He couldn't help but be shocked and asked: "Who are you?"

"This is my prince." At this time, the 'Wu Wuhou' sitting on the wooden board in the corridor just stood up with a smile, and then actually took off the seal ribbon from his waist, calmly stepped forward and handed it over to the 'guard'

"I am the Juzong of Guangping County in Wei County. When my prince heard that you were coming, he guessed that there was a fraud. He wanted to use this to set up a trap and arrest him on the spot, but he didn't expect to meet a righteous man."

The assassin suddenly felt lost... He always thought very highly of himself, and he had always taken the initiative to control the situation since he came in. But at this time, he was suddenly turned upside down, and he couldn't help but lose his composure.

"This is my answer, what do you think of the righteous man?" Gongsun Xun stepped into the corridor from the rain, took the seal ribbon calmly, then turned around to look at the tall assassin again.

"Reply to your noble lord." The assassin came back to his senses and sighed helplessly. "Although your noble lord's reply does not satisfy me, it is enough to make me speechless. In the end, recruiting them down the mountain and giving them a way to survive is ultimately the best thing to do.

Good thing... In fact, if the city had not known about your actions in the past two days and knew that you were a capable official, how could I have sacrificed this person on the battlefield?"

"I think so." Gongsun Xun stamped the water stains on his feet and did not shy away from it. "Since ancient times, assassins have put justice first. I, Gongsun Xun, asked myself that everything he did in Handan was selfless. If this remnant of the Shen family has private desires,

Of course, I have nothing to say about taking revenge. But what happened today, you claim to be a benevolent and righteous person, but you want to kill me for a hundred gold, what does that mean? With such an appearance, could it be that you think that I am originally

Damn it, and you’re doing me favors?”

The assassin was about to speak but stopped.

"What else do you have to say?" Gongsun Xun asked disapprovingly.

"Nothing else to say..." The assassin reluctantly handed over his hand.

"That being the case, I won't ask your name or ask for any other information. If you break the promise of a hundred gold coins, I will also give you a hundred gold coins to repay the favor. It's a long journey, so let's say goodbye. Next time we meet, you will be an official thief.

No more conflict!" Gongsun Xun waved his hands repeatedly, actually trying to drive this person out.

The man was stunned for a long time, but finally had no choice but to leave.

Juzong was about to speak but stopped.

"Drag this Shen Hu down and torture him severely," Gongsun Xun continued to order solemnly. "Ask the reason for this..."

Several county officials immediately dragged the unconscious man to the front of the official temple.

A moment later, when Gongsun Xun was covered with dampness and looking thoughtfully at the raindrops outside the corridor, Juzong finally plucked up the courage to speak again... But at this time, there was another noise outside, as if

Wang Xiu, who was loyal to his duty, rushed there after hearing the news.

"My subordinate neglected his duty!" Wang Xiufu leaned over to apologize as soon as he came to him. "I actually allowed an assassin to get in front of the king."

"Uncle Zhi doesn't have to be like this," Gongsun Xun quickly helped up this capable subordinate who was becoming more and more important in his heart. "I saw through this person's whereabouts and wanted to seize the opportunity to capture him. It's not in the way... I didn't want to meet this person.

Interesting person."

"But why didn't the monarch directly order people to capture these people in the front yard of the official temple?" Wang Xiu still found it difficult to accept. "Why do you have to introduce them to the backyard?"

"Brother Shuzhi just doesn't understand Junhou's painstaking efforts." Juzong explained helplessly. "Junhou was afraid of alerting the enemy and putting Brother Shuzhi in danger, so he

Introducing the people to the backyard for capture... In the words of Junhou, the people in the future are separated. If there are only one or two people introduced into the backyard, and if they are prepared in advance, they can naturally deal with it calmly, not to mention that we have also set the phantom.

The strategy of transfiguration..."

"That's right," Gongsun Xun also smiled bitterly. "There are not many capable warriors around me, but I am a rare expert in the official temple... It is true that there are few people when they are used!"

This time it was Wang Xiu's turn to speak but stopped.

"I was about to ask the lord." Juzong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and finally couldn't help but ask. "That assassin heard that the lord was well-mannered in his administration, so he turned against him. He was a rare righteous man, and he also had great skills.

Jian Jian, he knocked out Shen Hu without knowing it, and he is also a rare brave man; and his courage is not bad...Why didn't the monarch take the opportunity to keep him, instead of rejecting him thousands of miles away?"

"Because he will come back." Gongsun Xun immediately turned around and sneered.

"How do you say this?" Ju Zong was also stunned. "How did the Lord know?"
