"Looking at you like this, it should be done?"

Pei Xingjian, dressed in coarse linen clothes, sat alone at the square table.

In the copper pot on the table, the fiery red soup was rolling gurglingly.

On the rising heat, a projection was suspended in mid-air.

In the slightly dim scene, a tired-looking Li Jun was sitting in the back seat of a speeding car, slowly wiping the coagulated blood on his hands with a wet white cloth.

"No, at least I didn't kill Lu Ning."

Pei Xingjian smiled when he heard this, "Don't act like a good boy when you get an advantage. Although the Lu family is not looked down upon by those old families in the 'Two Capitals and Thirteen Provinces', they are still one of the first-class families in Confucianism." , if you were to uproot him so easily, Confucianism and Taoism would have been ousted by both Buddhism and Taoism. How could he hold his current position as the leader of the three religions? "

Li Jun recalled the scene on the top floor of the Lu family a few hours ago. After pondering for a moment, he said seriously: "It is a bit difficult, but it doesn't seem to be as difficult as you said."

"Wait until you arrive in Xusan when you can, and then say this again."

Pei Xingjian rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You are indeed better at this sequence than I expected. You can even fight against some Xu San who are not very good at rolling up their sleeves and shaking their fists with others, but Confucian Xu's people have always been good at fighting." It is a shame to fight with others."

"Form a clique, form a group, and conquer the enemy without fighting. This is the best strategy that Confucianism usually uses."

"What's the winning strategy?" Li Jun listened with interest.

"Looking at the weaknesses, dividing them, and recruiting some groups to suppress others, this is the middle strategy."

"What's the next step?"

"No need to ask. Of course, just like today, I will send a group of worthless minions to surround you until you are exhausted, and then slowly take care of you."

"People like Ru Xu play for power, power, and profit. If they achieve these three things, their power is nothing more than a thing in a cage."

Pei Xingjian snorted: "Lu Ning was able to build a first-class family in Liaodong by himself, and it was not just luck. If someone hadn't been digging at his foundation this time, making him anxious and angry, do you think you were behind him? After such a loud slap on the face, can you walk out of the Lu family so easily? "

"Families that can establish themselves in the empire, except for the Lu family, which are dirty things that rely on nepotism, all the others have some low-level means to survive. If you don't listen to me this time, you will be taken away from Liaodong as soon as possible. You Believe it or not, after he takes a breath, it will be your turn to have a gun put to your head and asked whether you are a player or a player."

Pei Xingjian paused for a moment: "Besides, it's not that no one can defeat Confucianism. It's just that those people are the treasures of various clans, and they are reluctant to show them to others. You will know when you travel more places in the future."

Although the old man's words were unpleasant to listen to, Li Jun felt the sincerity.

Li Jun smiled and said: "You keep telling me this to an outsider, does that count as betraying one of your own?"

"A sequence is a sequence, and a person is a person. Genes determine that I have to serve this bowl of rice, but in the end I still have the right to decide whether to eat it or not, and how to eat it. Besides, other people are high and mighty, and I am just a slave. Being marginalized to the point where I can barely live my life, putting me in the same category as them is too much for me.”

"Anyway."

Li Jun put away the smile on his face, raised his hands and fists to Pei Xingjian on the screen, and said seriously: "Thank you very much this time, Mr. Pei."

"There is no need to say these polite words."

Pei Xingjian held a pair of chopsticks with his right hand and shook it, "I stood by and watched once when I was in the Japanese area. It was my fault. This time I will return the favor to you, and everyone will be in the clear."

"What happened in Edo City has nothing to do with you." Li Jun said softly: "I didn't want to blame Yang Baize."

"To be honest, I feel the same way."

Pei Xingjian made a sullen face and said in a deep voice: "But that brat is just a deadbeat. He doesn't think so. If he insists on thinking that it was me, the teacher, who made him lose his loyalty, he will have no face to see you in the future."

Before Li Jun could answer, a smile broke out on Pei Xingjian's face, "But that's fine. If he doesn't care about friendship at all, then I, an old man, will have to worry about whether he can live safely for a hundred years."

Li Jun smiled when he heard this and threw the white cloth stained with dark blood out of the car window.

In the night, the brightly lit city has been left behind.

At this moment, Li Jun could only hear the warm summer wind blowing through the white mountains and black waters, and the gurgling boiling sound.

The two people, who were more than a thousand miles apart, looked at each other calmly through the screen.

In the end, it was Pei Xingjian who was the first to lose his composure and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Are you really not curious at all? How did I know that besides Lu Yuzhang, Lu Siyi was also involved in the affairs of the Japanese Imperial Guards? And how could he be like this? Accurately predict that someone is going to attack Lu Clan tonight?"

"Of course I'm curious."

Li Jun spoke bluntly: "But this time you are here to help, and I have to abide by the rules. If you want to say something, I'm all ears. If you don't want to say it, then I won't ask you to get to the bottom of it. You don't do it anyway. It will hurt me, right?"

"Compared to when you were in Chengdu Mansion, you are much more skilled at climbing along the pole."

Pei Xingjian sighed and joked: "But I really don't dare to harm you. Life for people like you is too tough. I don't want to have my head removed for no apparent reason one day while eating hot pot in my official office."

"You can relax this time. You have not been tricked, nor have you blindly used others as a knife. At best, you are just cooperating with others and getting what you need. You don't suffer a loss."

"I can feel this."

Li Jun smiled and nodded. This was not because he trusted Pei Xingjian so much, but because he was already experienced in being cheated.

And if there is really a problem, this group of people will not escape from Liaodong so easily.

"As for why I know this information."

Pei Xingjian took out a piece of tripe from the red soup and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it for two times, he swallowed it whole and said in a dissatisfied tone: "I'm old."

"People are old and spirited, ghosts are old and spirited?"

"That's not the case, it's just that as I get older and know more people, I can always hear some weird gossip."

Pei Xingjian's words were unclear as to who was attacking the Lu family.

However, Li Jun could more or less guess that the other party was either the group of people who were picked by the Lu family and driven out of Liaodong. Or they are people who want to cause trouble for Zhang Fengyue.

After learning that Lu Yuzhang had robbed the Jinyiwei family in the Japanese area, Li Jun didn't just pat his head and come to the door with a gun, but had already asked Xie Bian to find out the details of these Liaodong clans.

Lu Ning is a staunch member of the New Donglin Party and the most loyal supporter of Chief Assistant Zhang Fengyue.

"Take a rest. There is a saying that goes well. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. You don't have to rush now." Pei Xingjian suddenly said.

Li Jun leaned back and said lazily: "Okay, how about I come to Chongqing Mansion to keep you company?"

This sentence obviously startled Pei Xingjian, and he immediately blew his beard and glared: "You will repay kindness with hatred, right?"

"It's just a joke, don't be nervous."

Li Jun laughed and said calmly: "In the past, I had no ability. After suffering a loss at the hands of others, I could only break my teeth and swallow blood. I found a corner to hide myself, licking the wounds and staring at the surroundings with wide eyes. I am afraid that I will be stabbed in the back by accident. If you tell me that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, I will listen to you honestly. "

Li Jun changed himself into a comfortable sitting position. The half-opened car window at his hand was filled with strong wind, blowing his hair that was almost covering his eyebrows.

"I know that in the eyes of many people, I am still not a big shot. I am at most a relatively big trouble. But for me, it is my turn to take a knife to find trouble for them, not like I used to stand in the corner and feel anxious all day long.”

"I'm not a gentleman, I'm just a villain."

Li Jun smiled and said: "I can't wait ten years for revenge. If I wait one more day, I will have trouble sleeping."

"Why."

Pei Xingjian sighed and suddenly lost interest in the fragrant hot pot in front of him.

He put his chopsticks across the bowl and said softly: "Actually, you should also know that the attention of all forces has now shifted to the New Deal. The storm is about to rise, and those who want to pursue the idea of ​​independent military order are gone. That energy and time. If you want to settle down, now is the best time.”

Li Jun asked: "If you don't have roots, how can you settle down?"

"If there are people, there are roots."

"But in comparison, I still prefer to pull out the roots of others. Mr. Pei, you don't need to persuade me anymore. This time we are not settled, but I owe you a favor. If there is need in the future, I will do it Just ask.”

Li Jun hung up the communication with Pei Xingjian and heard Zou Sijiu from the passenger seat asking.

"Brother Jun, now Chen Qisheng's Niubi and Xiaobai have gone to Jiangxi Province, and Sister Yuan has also taken Xiaohei to the Suzhou Mansion of Nanzhili. Where are we going?"

Li Jun looked out the window at the dark night and said without hesitation: "Accompany the capital of Jinling."

"Go and see the central branch of Mo Xujuzi Hall. What a tiger's den and dragon's pond!"

Liang Huo is in a very bad mood now.

The source of his mood was the woman standing opposite him across a three-foot-wide counter.

The other party's dress was not feminine at all. A black robe covered his body, and his exposed facial features were straight and three-dimensional. However, it could be seen from the stiff smile that they were not original.

A series of special patterns embroidered on the cuffs of the robe indicated that the other party was an investigator affiliated with the Central Branch of Mo Xujuzitang.

Although he was reluctant, Liang Huo still suppressed the irritability in his heart and repeated what he had said countless times.

"I do know Lord Chi, but that happened many years ago, and I have no contact with you for a long time. As for the two Mingguis you mentioned named Chang Jun and Lord Ma, I don't know them at all! I It's just an ordinary Moxu craftsman running a handicraft workshop in Jinling City. He doesn't even have an ink armor of his own. How can he know those precious artifacts?"

"Master Liang, please don't be angry. The people I just asked you about are all high-risk Ming ghosts who have been confirmed to betray Mo Xu. Many followers and Ming ghosts have died in their hands. Because you have been with one of them. We have been in contact with you, so we pay special attention to your safety and harass you repeatedly. I hope you can understand.”

Although the woman's tone was soft, her scrutinizing eyes were always fixed on Liang Huo's eyes, as if she wanted to dig out any suspicious abnormalities from them.

"Then I'm so grateful to you." Liang Huo said in a strange tone.

"These are what we should do. Although you are not from Juzitang, as long as it is Mo Xu, the Central Branch has the obligation to ensure his safety."

Liang Huo said with a cold face: "Now that I've asked clearly, can you please leave? I'm not as lucky as you to be able to live comfortably in the Central Branch, and I still have to open the door to do business."

"sure."

Although she said this, the woman had no intention of moving at all, and remained frozen in place.

"What do you mean? You still don't believe me and are you going to take me back to the Central Branch for interrogation?"

Liang Huo laughed angrily, put his arms together and slammed them on the counter, and said, "Come on, I'm just Mo Xuba with no background anyway. It's easy for your Central Branch to deal with me. You can do whatever you want to round me up." It can be flattened.”

"It seems that Master Liang has a strong prejudice against the Central Branch."

The woman showed a standard smile to Liang Huo. The curve of the corners of her mouth and the number of teeth exposed were just right.

"How dare I?"

"Master Liang, you are joking, you are not a courageous person."

The woman said slowly: "As far as I know, you often make comments criticizing the Central Branch of the Academy in Mo Xu's various dreams, and reprimand the Central Branch of the Academy for its attitude towards Minggui."

"The investigation was quite comprehensive." Liang Huo sneered: "Why, those deans finally want to settle the score with me, Queen Qiu?"

"Master Liang, you are worrying too much about this. The Central Branch is not so overbearing yet. I just want to kindly remind you that it is best to clearly distinguish the positions of Ming Gui and Mo Xu."

The woman stretched out a white, slender finger from her black robe and poked it on the counter panel.

"Even if a tool has its own consciousness, it is still a tool, and its essence will not change in any way. If everyone does not distinguish between subject and object like you, then Mo Xu will perish sooner or later."

"Then according to what you say, wouldn't it be better to have a tool without consciousness?"

Liang Huo said contemptuously: "In this case, why did Mo Xu participate in the construction of Huangliang Dreamland? And why should Ming Gui and Mo Xu be bound to each other and dependent on each other?"

"Once the bound Minggui dies, he will be completely annihilated, but Mo Xu will only be injured. Therefore, the binding is for better control, and the autonomous consciousness is only to allow the tool to be used better, not Let them be equal to us!"

"I'm not interested in discussing this with you. Do you want to arrest me? If not, get out."

Liang Huo didn't seem to be afraid of the other party's identity at all. He spoke harshly and turned around to face the cabinet filled with various items.

During many interactions, the woman also knew that the middle-aged man in front of her was a troublesome character who was not afraid of death, but this was not the reason why she was so tolerant to Liang Huo.

If you leave this bait outside, you might be able to catch the vicious shark lurking under the sea.

Over the years, the Central Branch has used this method to deal with many evil spirits who harbored evil intentions.

Even Lord Chi had fallen into a similar trap before, but unfortunately the other party was too strong, and the arresters they sent were killed as soon as they showed up.

But these secrets are not known to so-called benevolent and righteous people like Liang Huo who like to speak out for Minggui.

The woman stared at the figure in front of her with her back to her, pretending to be busy, and said something as if she was talking to herself.

"Lord Chi is dead."

The woman added: "The biggest traitor of the Minggui in the Central Branch has been executed."

"What does it have to do with me whether he is dead or not? I have said it many times. I only met him a few times when I was young, and I have not contacted him for many years."

Liang Huo turned around suddenly and shouted impatiently.

"It doesn't matter."

The woman stared closely into Liang Huo's eyes, and after a while she smiled and said, "I'll take my leave this time. I wish Master Liang a prosperous business."

The woman bowed and saluted, turned and walked towards the door.

At this moment, the glass door of the workshop was pushed open from the outside.

A tall and tall figure walked in, followed by a man with his hair slicked back and talking obscenely to himself.

When the two phases met, the pupils in the woman's eyes shrank for an instant, but then quickly returned to normal the next moment.

Just when she was about to pretend that nothing happened and pass him by, she suddenly felt her eyes go dark.

boom!

A head exploded, splattering filth everywhere.

Li Jun shook off the blood on his hand and turned to look at Liang Huo, who was stunned behind the counter.

"Are you Ayan's brother, Liang Huo?"

A deep old voice came from Li Jun.

"Are you Lord Ma?"

Liang Huo was stunned on the spot as if struck by thunder.

This man who dared to curse even in the face of the Central Branch's investigation suddenly turned red-eyed at this moment.

"Brother Jun, can we please stop being so harsh in the future? How can I pretend to be this girl after you beat her like this?"

Zou Sijiu squatted next to the mutilated corpse, muttering in a low voice.

"Shouyu, do you think it would be more pleasing to you if I pretended to be a woman?"
