Cyber Daming

When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden.

This is Ruxu's consistent approach.

The reason why Li Jun showed a surprised expression was not because he had not expected that the New Donglin Party would burn bridges.

It's just that the current New Deal has just passed the most difficult stage, and there is still a long way to go before it is fully stable. The New Donglin Party chose this time to attack Jin Yiwei, which was not in line with their style.

Managing a big country is like cooking small dishes, and the most important thing for Confucian scholars is patience.

This was most vividly reflected in the years when Wu Xu was rampant.

"What does Su Qianhu plan to do?"

Li Jun asked after a moment of silence.

"You are also Wu Xu. You should know him better than me on this matter."

Ghost King Da suddenly sighed: "But no matter what Qianhu's final decision is, he is not willing to involve these Jinyiwei disciples who he has watched grow up. So this meeting is what he gave to the people below. A chance to choose.”

"if."

Li Jun asked in a calm voice: "I mean, if the Jinyi Guards in the Japanese District are really dismissed, what will happen to him?"

"Who knows. Resigning from old age and returning to his hometown? Disarming his troops and returning to his fields?"

Ghost King Da leaned back and said with a fake smile: "Maybe we should go to Xiyi to have a look? After all, after the New Deal is stabilized, in a few years at most, the Japanese area will not be able to make any waves. He went to the Japanese area to have a look." The district’s purpose has been achieved.”

At this moment, not only Li Jun, but also the bustard ghost sitting beside him could tell that Ghost Wang Da's words were insincere.

Li Jun moved his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but suddenly he remembered the past stories about Su Ce that the bustard ghost told him on the road.

It is true that if this member of the Jinyi Guards in the Japanese District wants to resist the abolition of the New Donglin Party, with his prestige and appeal, most of the thousands of Jinyiwei in the Japanese District will definitely follow him to the death.

Although the final result may not change much, if Su Ce holds on to this power, he can at least get a huge amount of wealth from the New Donglin Party.

But if he really wants to use these old subordinates as bargaining chips for his own interests, then he is no longer Su Ce.

At this point, everything seems to be reasonable, but it is hard to accept.

"Those of us who came to the Japanese area had one or another compelling reason. Either we provoked people we shouldn't have provoked in our hometown, and were forced by others to make it impossible to live in the world. Or our genes destined us to live a mediocre life, but we were unwilling to accept it. A lifetime of obscurity.”

Ghost King Daping said: "There is an old saying in the empire, 'If a rich family stays in their place of origin, but if a poor family leaves, they will go to another place.' In the final analysis, if there is no other choice, who would be willing to leave his hometown and become a precarious guard in such a poor place? ?

"It's all just to fight for a breath and earn a life! I fantasize about being able to return home one day in a dignified manner, letting those relatives who are swaying to nod and bow to me, and making women who once looked down on me regret it."

"Qianhu, the old man, sees all these things, so he is unwilling to force everyone."

Ghost King Da slowly exhaled a long breath, and suddenly slapped his hand on the table, a trace of suppressed anger appeared on his face.

"This old man is obviously a martial artist, and he can be considered domineering in his daily behavior, but why does he become a mother-in-law at such a critical moment? What if he leads us people to rebel? After killing Honghu for so many years, I He even wants to be a swan himself!"

Angry voices echoed throughout the room, and the palms on the table trembled constantly, causing the dishes to jingle.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

After a while, Ghost King Da finally calmed down his excitement and was about to speak again when a clear knocking sound suddenly sounded outside the closed door.

Li Jun and Ghost King Da suddenly looked at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise in the other's eyes.

This time, Li Jun's early arrival at Edo Castle was impromptu, and he only had an appointment with Ghost King Tatsu without any announcement.

And at this moment, according to Li Jun's physical perception and Ghost Wangda's mechanical eye scanning, there was nothing outside the door, and not a single person was visible at all!

"Where did you provoke such a person? He actually chased him all the way to Edo Castle. This murderous intention is serious enough."

Ghost King Da laughed and cursed, and a faint mechanical hum floated from his body.

"I've been in a lot of trouble lately, who the hell knows which one this is."

Li Jun licked his lips: "Old ghost, you and the bustard ghost will leave first in a while."

"OK."

Ghost King Da clearly knew that his own strength was a burden and staying here would be a burden, so he didn't hesitate immediately.

He suddenly stood up, grabbed the bustard ghost who still didn't understand why, and said in a deep voice to Li Jun: "It will take at most half a stick of incense, and the people from Qianhusuo will arrive. You kid, don't be fooled by anyone." He was killed in such a short period of time.”

"Don't worry, I don't know how to run away if I can't win?"

Li Jun waved his hand with a nonchalant and relaxed expression.

Ghost King Da nodded, and the buzzing of the mechanical heart in his body suddenly increased. Just when he was about to smash open the wall with his fist, the locked box door suddenly opened on its own.

"I said, can you two stop having so many dramas? If they really came to kill people, who would knock on the door? Give you so much time to talk nonsense?"

Outside the door, a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a fair face walked in, his face full of helplessness.

"This kid is just a bad guy. Why are you following him in these tricks, Ghost King Da?"

Gui Wangda didn't even look at him. He stretched out his hand and pinched the bustard's neck. He dragged the unconscious bustard and passed him by the middle-aged scholar.

"Yan Junqi, hold on, I'll go back and shake him."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar listened to these words that were half acting and half warning. He looked back at the other person's hurried back and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

At this moment, only he and Li Jun, who was sitting motionless in his seat with an indifferent expression, were the only ones left in the private room of this Cantonese restaurant.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar who was originally planning to use his knowledge of Li Jun's whereabouts to seize the man first was treated like this by Li Jun and Ghost Wangda. Now he could no longer maintain his posture and closed the door with a wave of his sleeves.

At the same time, a jade pendant hanging on his waist automatically moved without wind, and an invisible wave spread.

The feeling of drowning was fleeting, but Li Jun knew in his heart that the entire room was now in a shielded state.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar found a chair and sat down by himself. He glanced at Li Jun, who was taking his time, and couldn't help but smile: "You are quite calm. Are you not curious at all about who I am?"

"There is nothing to be anxious about. If you want to fight, then I will continue. If you want to talk, then I will listen. But no matter which way, you can't stand it."

"oh?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar asked with great interest: "Why?"

Li Jun said calmly: "Because the Jinyi guards from Qianhusuo will be here soon."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar praised: "As expected, he is able to kill all the way from Brother Muddy Water Pao in Chengdu Prefecture to the one-man martial artist who is now a hundred households in Jinyiwei in the Japanese area. He does have some skills."

Li Jun flicked his fingers: "I can't speak of a good reputation. It's just that I killed too many people and developed a bad temper."

"So you and Ghost King Da put on such a show and gave me a kick?"

"I have a bad temper, and I don't like seeing people pretending to be weird."

"What a coincidence, I'm also famous for my bad temper."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar's eyebrows turned cold, "I am Li Bufeng."

"guessed."

Li Bufeng tapped the open space in front of him with his hand, "Now that you know it, according to the rules, you should kneel down and salute me now."

"Whose rules?"

"Of course it's the court's rules."

"Unfortunately," Li Jun raised his eyebrows, "I always follow another set of rules."

"What rules?"

"The rules of Wu Xu."

Li Jun's eyes were blazing with fire, and he grinned: "Everyone who wants me to kneel down will die in my hands, without exception."

"How dare you do the following?"

Li Bufeng narrowed his eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will peel off the skin of your royal guard? Don't forget, I am the highest officer in the Japanese area."

"So you came here today just to test whether I have the courage to sacrifice myself and chop you, the Japanese Propaganda Ambassador?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the closed door was pushed open again.

A figure wrapped in a black robe walked in silently and stopped at the door. A red light flashed in the shadow of the hood.

"The warrior is wearing armor. I haven't seen such a scene for many years."

Li Bufeng burst into laughter suddenly, with a look of emotion on his face.

"I don't have the time to fight with you Wu Xu. Besides, if I fight with one of your juniors, wouldn't I be laughed at by that old man Su Ce?"

Li Bufeng waved his hand and said seriously: "Okay, let him go out first. I'm looking for you this time because I have something serious to talk to you about."

"He can listen."

There was no hesitation in Li Jun's tone, and Prince Ma, who was standing at the door, showed no sign of turning around and leaving.

A trace of surprise flashed across Li Bufeng's eyes. Seeing that Li Jun's firm tone did not seem to be fake, he allowed Prince Ma to listen.

"I am not a member of the New Donglin Party. I have been a classmate of Yang Baize's teacher Pei Xingjian for many years."

A short sentence contains a lot of information.

The dignified Xuanwei Envoy of the Japanese District, the nominally highest chief executive, is not a member of the New Donglin Party?

This was completely beyond Li Jun's understanding of the New Donglin Party's consistent style.

"There is no way. With you Su Qianhu here, the old men of the New Donglin Party are not willing to come here and suffer this grievance, so they can only let me, a small character with no background, take the responsibility. Anyway, they are just here to fill the role. It’s just a facade, doesn’t it matter who comes? Right?”

Li Bufeng seemed to see the doubts in Li Jun's mind and explained with a smile.

"Then you came to me today because of Yang Baize?" Li Jun asked with a frown.

"That's right."

Li Bufeng said bluntly: "I was entrusted by someone to take good care of the child. Unfortunately, I can't do it now, so I can only come and see what kind of person the partner he chose is. Wait until I leave. I can also feel more at ease.”

"Master Li, is he going to be promoted?"

"You kid, please stop taunting me in a roundabout way. Don't think that I am a scholar and have good manners so I won't care about you. You really made me angry. Su Ce can only watch me deal with you when he comes!"

Li Bufeng seemed to have been stepped on by Li Jun, blowing his beard and staring, which made Li Jun confused.

"What did I mock you for?"

"Who are you calling Gaosheng?"

Li Jun was stunned and speechless, unable to laugh or cry.

However, when Li Bufeng, who seemed to be angry, made such a fuss, most of the hidden hostility between the two dissipated.

"Someone from the New Donglin Party is coming to take my place. In other words, I have been removed from my position."

Li Jun was stunned: "Are they also those wealthy and powerful people?"

"Aside from those gentlemen, who else can be so shameless and ignore the appearance?"

Li Bufeng spoke calmly, as if the dismissal was just an insignificant matter to him.

"Master Li, you are open-minded, I admire you."

Li Jun hesitated for a long time and finally choked out this sentence.

"These are all expected things. They will happen sooner or later. There is nothing to make a fuss about."

Li Bufeng said: "So today I am not sitting here to talk to you as the ambassador of the Japanese area, but simply as the elder Yang Baize, I want to ask you three questions."

Before Li Jun could speak, Li Bufeng continued to explain: "Of course, Li Baihu, don't think that I'm here to scrutinize or question you. I don't have the qualifications or the power now. I just feel that the child's life experience is pitiful. , it’s not easy to live a few days with someone taking care of you. If you die in the Japanese area like this, we elders will really be heartbroken. I hope you can understand."

What Li Bufeng said was sincere.

Li Jun was silent for a moment, then he slowly sat upright in a casual posture, cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me."

"First sentence, this time someone from a powerful family has come to take over the results of the New Deal. Li Baihu, do you really want to support Yang Baize?"

“So what if it is, so what if it’s not?”

"If it is, I owe you a favor. If not, I will take Yang Baize out of the Japanese area now and hand over the achievements of the New Deal in Inushan City to the Langya Wang family without disturbing your eyes, Li Baihu."

After Li Bufeng finished saying this, he quietly waited for Li Jun's answer.

Li Jun didn't shy away and looked calmly into those eyes as deep as the abyss.

"I will never change what I promised."

"good!"

Li Bufeng laughed loudly, "Second sentence, if nothing can be done in the end, can you do your best to save Yang Baize's life?"

"I can't promise you this."

Li Jun shook his head and said: "I myself am in danger, so I have tried my best to prevent my troubles from involving him."

"understand."

Li Bufeng didn't take Li Jun's answer seriously, but nodded with a smile on his face.

"The last sentence."

Li Bufeng's speech became extremely slow, "Li Baihu, what do you think of the New Donglin Party today?"

In contrast, Li Jun spoke very decisively this time: "Sooner or later there will be a battle, why bother watching?"

Li Bufeng was startled when he heard this, and after a moment he suddenly came to his senses, slapping his thighs and laughing.

"Sooner or later, we have to fight. I, Li Bufeng, have never understood the truth in my life, but I have learned it from you and Su Ce, two warriors."

Li Bufeng stood up suddenly and cupped his fists towards Li Jun, "On behalf of Pei Xingjian, thank you very much, Li Baihu."

Stab.

Li Jun tipped his toes, and the chair under him slid sideways against the ground to get out of the way of Li Bufeng's salute.

"Master Li, you're welcome."

"I don't like to owe other people things, so I will pay you back the favor I promised you just now."

Li Bufeng didn't give Li Jun a chance to refuse, and went straight to the point: "The Earth Immortal from Gezao Mountain has arrived at the boundary of Laizhou Prefecture. However, he will not enter the Japanese area for the time being, but will wait there to be robbed and killed. People from Qingcheng Mountain.”

"When he sets foot in the Japanese territory, I will send someone to notify you. At that time, whether to kill or hide, it is your choice, Li Baihu!"

After saying that, Li Bufeng strode out with a smile on his face.

Li Jun was left standing there with a confused look on his face.
