"Huh? And one more person escaped? The purple-robed man's voice was steady, and he seemed to be indifferent, but Xu Ben trembled when he heard it, and cold sweat had unconsciously spread all over his back, he was a majestic general in front of outsiders, but he was nothing in front of this person in front of him, it was no exaggeration to say that he could have today's status was all given by Li Fengwu.

"My lord atone for his sins, and personally lead the army tomorrow, and I will never give up if I don't arrest this person!" Xu Ben lowered his head and said hurriedly.

"Well, this is something that King Mengzhong personally ordered, you must do it properly!" Li Fengwu nodded and said lightly.

King Mengzhong?

Lin Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this name, he felt a little familiar, and after recalling it for a while, he remembered that this person seemed to be a powerful person in Harut, who was the king of the Southern Courtyard, and his status in Harut was second only to the Khan and the king of the Northern Courtyard!

One is the king of the Southern Courtyard of Harut, and the other is the deputy chief soldier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the two should have no intersection, but listening to the tone of this deputy chief soldier, the two are actually connected in secret!

You must know that the two armies are still at war, which can be said to be fornication with foreign enemies!

"By the way, how did you do with the thing I told you to do?" After Li Fengwu pondered for a moment, he suddenly asked out loud.

"My lord ordered, my subordinates didn't dare to slack off, and so far we have collected 60,000 loads of grain!" Xu Ben replied.

"No one noticed!" Li Fengwu looked up at Xu Ben and said.

"Don't worry, my subordinates are secretly borrowing the names of a few merchants to collect grain, and they will never leak half a cent!" Xu Ben hurriedly said.

"Well, that's the best, when the remaining 40,000 loads of food are ready, give them to that person!" Li Fengwu nodded with satisfaction and said.

"It's still a wise man, this year is a bumper harvest year, and it only takes 10,000 taels of gold to collect 100,000 taels of grain, and you can get 100,000 taels of gold by selling it to the Haru people, which has multiplied tenfold all at once!" Xu Ben said excitedly.

"Hmph, the land over there in Harut is barren, not suitable for growing grain, and winter is coming in a blink of an eye, without this batch of grain, at least tens of thousands of people will have to die, for this batch of life-saving food, what is it to spend more money!" Li Fengwu said lightly.

"What my lord said is true, but the Haru people sued for peace this time, and I always felt that they were not sincere." After a pause, Xu Ben said in a deep voice.

"Of course, stepping on the Central Plains can be said to be their lifelong wish, how can they give up easily, this peace should just be to survive this winter." Li Fengwu sneered and continued: "But these have nothing to do with you and me, the nobles in the court are making every effort to promote this matter, this peace negotiation is the trend of the times, and this peace is also conducive to my deal with them, as long as I can get this heavy money, I can take care of the top and bottom, and it is not impossible to be promoted to the general army at that time!" When he said this, Li Fengwu's eyes became extremely hot.

"Congratulations to your lordship!" Xu Ben clasped his fists in front of him and bowed slowly.

"Haha, don't worry, as long as I, Li, can soar, there will be a day when you will come out!" Li Fengwu said with a laugh.

After Xu Ben flattered him a few more words, Li Fengwu picked up a sealed letter on the table and handed it to Xu Ben: "You can collect this letter, and when the grain is collected, give it to the messenger, and he will tell you the time and place of the transaction!" ”

Xu Ben nodded, and just as he received the letter, there was a sudden sound of broken tiles overhead, and then a figure jumped down from it.

"Who!" After all, Xu Ben was a battle-hardened general-level figure, and he reacted extremely quickly, and after a loud shout, he blasted towards this intruder with a fist in his left hand.

In order to be able to show his ability in front of Li Fengwu's eyes, Xu Ben's punch did not release the water at all, and he attacked with all his strength, and he must knock down this person with one blow, but when this punch was blasted out, this person's waist was weirdly folded, dodged his punch, and then quickly bullied into his arms, Xu Ben only felt a pain in his right wrist, and his right hand couldn't help but let go, and the letter in his hand was actually taken away by this person.

"It's you!" Xu Ben also saw the face of the person who came clearly at this moment, and couldn't help but shout.

"My lord, this person is the only one who has escaped!" Xu Ben pointed at Lin Xuan and said.

"I know, Centurion Lin Yitian of the Flame Legion is really a hero and a young man, and he is really bold, he actually dares to break into Yunfei City and break into my mansion!" Li Fengwu's eyes narrowed slightly, still sitting on the ironwood chair, looking at Lin Xuan and saying.

"Li Fengwu and Xu Ben, I didn't expect that the two of you were secretly making a deal with the Haru people, and you also detained the charge of fornicating with foreign enemies on my head, now that the evidence is in my hands, I will definitely tell the truth to the chief soldier!" Lin Xuan said.

"Hehe, although I don't know how you infiltrated my mansion, but since you are here, do you still want to leave alive?" When Li Fengwu finished saying this, Xu Ben smiled fiercely at Lin Xuan as if he had understood something, and then shouted:

"Someone, there's an assassin!"

This is Li Fengwu's mansion, heavily guarded, I don't know how many soldiers are guarding inside, as soon as Xu Ben's words fell, there was a flash of fire outside, and after a while, several burly men in armor had already broken in, and there were countless people rushing here in the distance.

"Take him down for me!" Xu Ben pointed at Lin Xuan and shouted.

"Yes!" The first to break in were Li Fengwu's personal soldiers, and after receiving the order, they directly drew their swords and rushed towards Lin Xuan.

"Humph!" Lin Xuan looked at the few people who rushed over, snorted lightly, and after taking the letter into his arms, he picked up a wooden chair next to him and flew out with a toe pick.

"Drink." The burly man at the head shouted, and directly raised his knife to smash the wooden chair, and at this time, he suddenly saw a figure break into his arms, and before he could react, two arms had already hugged his head left and right, twisted it slightly, and he had lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"Die!" When Lin Xuan was dealing with this person, the other two burly men had already besieged him, raising their long knives left and right to slash at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's waist was short, he rolled on the spot, dodged these two knives, and snatched the long knife in the hand of the dead man in his hand, and then saw a few cold flashes of light, and the two of them were cut to the ground by Lin Xuan one after another.

"The assassin is in the study, go and protect your lordship!"

In just such a while, the sound outside became more and more noisy, the firelight flickered, obviously the people in the mansion were rushing towards this side, although Lin Xuan was powerful, it was impossible to fight against thousands of soldiers on his own, after taking a deep look at the two people in the house, he decisively ran towards the door......
