Lin Xuan hung far behind, and after passing through a few more corridors, he watched these people enter a nearly 5-meter-high attic, and after waiting for a while, the two soldiers retreated, leaving Zhou Li in the room, and then stationed at the door.

Lin Xuan leaned slightly, walked against the wall, hid his figure under the shadow of the high wall, and walked forward silently, without alarming the two soldiers, and then bypassed the front door, approached the attic, grabbed the eaves of the surrounding wooden corridor with both hands, stepped on the guardrail with both feet, and gently went up, jumped to the top of the corridor, and then climbed to the top of this attic with the help of some protruding decorations around him.

After reaching the top, Lin Xuan carefully moved to the center of the cat, and then gently moved a tile to the side by half an inch, looking at it, and seeing the situation inside.

This room is like a main hall, nearly 100 square meters in size, surrounded by several purple wooden shelves, on which are displayed all kinds of books, precious porcelain, shining jade, in the middle of the position on the left and right row of wide chairs, and the head of the hall is placed a large chair large enough to sit two people, on the chair is placed a piece of white tiger skin, a middle-aged man with narrow eyes is sitting on it.

Below him, on the first chair on the left and right, sat one person each, all burly men in armor, while Zhou Li, in prison uniform, knelt in the middle.

"Zhou Li, you give me to be honest and admit the crime as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer from it!" The burly man sitting on the left looked at Zhou Li and shouted in a deep voice.

"I'm not treasonous, it's slander!" It seems that he has been tortured before, Zhou Li is extremely weak at the moment, and the sound he makes is weak, but he still refuses to admit this trumped-up charge.

"Hehe, General Xu, let's hand this person over to our black prison, I guarantee that as long as it takes one day, I can make this person change his mind!" Although the person on the opposite side is equally long and burly, his face is extremely feminine.

Xu Ben didn't speak, but took a sip of the tea on the side, and then half-squinted, like a napping tiger, and said softly: "Why bother so much, pour him dumb medicine, and then break his mouth, and hand it over to the messenger over there in two days, isn't it over." ”

"The general is wise!" The feminine man smiled and praised, and the burly man stopped talking, and finally just shook his head and let out a soft sigh.

Then they summoned the two soldiers who were guarding the door before and escorted Zhou Li down, and Zhou Li seemed to have accepted his fate and did not resist at all.

After escorting Zhou Li down, the room fell into a short silence, and after about half a cup of tea, the burly man glanced up at Xu Ben and said loudly: "General Xu, do you think what the envoy said is true!" ”

"Well, the chief soldier has already heard about this matter, and several adults in the court have told us many times, let us do our best to promote this matter!" Xu Ben said slowly.

"Haha, that's so good, damn it, this war can finally be over!" The feminine man said with a laugh.

The burly man was silent for a moment, and finally said: "General Xu, the Halu people have been fighting with our Great Zhou for a long time, always thinking about stepping on the Central Plains, and suddenly suing for peace, I always feel that there is fraud in it!" ”

"Brother Chen, you are too worried, just with those barbarians, you can't even beat this Yunfei City, what kind of horses are stepping on the Central Plains, you and I all know the situation outside the border, it's just a barren land, they will definitely not be able to bear it internally after fighting for so long, so they will take the initiative to sue for peace!" The feminine man shook his head and said.

"Eh, it's just a pity that these soldiers of the Fire Legion killed a prince, which was a great merit in the past, but now it's ......" The burly man sighed and said regretfully, he actually had some trouble in his heart.

"No way, the envoy has already said that these people who participated in the killing of the prince must be handed over, otherwise there is no need to negotiate peace!" The feminine man said.

"It's their honor to sacrifice their lives for the country, isn't there still one person who escapes, send me more manpower, I want to see people in life and corpses in death!" At this time, Xu Ben also spoke.

On the top of the attic, Lin Xuan thought thoughtfully, it turned out that the reason why these people suddenly planted them was because the Halu people were preparing to sue for peace, and they had killed one of Halu's princes, and this enmity was not shared, if they were alive, it would have a great impact on the peace talks.

In ancient China, they were also very particular about dedication, exchanging their lives for peace between the two countries, this kind of thing may be acceptable to many others, but Lin Xuan is different, first of all, he has no sense of belonging to this so-called Great Zhou Dynasty, and secondly, these people can use better methods, such as acting in a play, letting them fake their deaths, and then change their identities, instead of directly detaining a traitor and collaborating with the enemy.

He didn't know what this situational mission was asking him to do, so he didn't act rashly for a while.

The three people in the room chatted for a while and then dispersed, Xu Ben was still sitting on the main chair, as if in thought, and after a while, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the house.

"Prepare the horses!"

……

"Finally to see the Lord!" Lin Xuan looked at Xu Ben, who had gotten into the carriage after leaving the General's Mansion, and followed closely behind.

After walking a few more streets, Xu Ben's carriage suddenly stopped outside a mansion, and Xu Ben stepped out of the carriage and entered the mansion.

"It's him!" Lin Xuan looked at this mansion, his brows furrowed slightly, in his memory, the owner of this mansion was named Li Fengwu, a deputy chief soldier of this Yunfei City, in charge of all the Blackwater Army, and Xu Ben's direct boss!

After all, Li Fengwu is a deputy chief soldier, with a 3-rank official residence, and the palace is heavily guarded, and there are people standing guard almost everywhere, Lin Xuan spent a lot of effort to sneak in, and then he became a gentleman on the beam again.

This is a study, in addition to Xu Ben, there is another person in the room, a man in a purple brocade robe, this person is about 50 years old, sitting on an antique ironwood chair, eagle and wolf, a majestic aura that belongs to a big man is faintly revealed from him.

"How's it going?" Li Fengwu turned the three crystal clear jade balls in his right hand and said lightly.

"My lord, there are only 3 people who have escaped, one of them has been killed on the spot by his subordinates, one has been tied up in a prison in the mansion by his subordinates, and one person is left...... The subordinates have already sent someone to arrest him, and I believe it won't be long before he can be arrested! Xu Ben lowered his head and said respectfully.
