Chapter 31 Accepting the Entrustment

Li Feng nodded, and said without the slightest humility: "My lord's analysis is that my subordinates think that there must be something wrong with this matter. With the skills of those five people, I am afraid they are not Zhao Tong's subordinates. Could it be that Zhao Gao came from Xianyang Sending people? What's even more difficult for the subordinates to figure out is who killed them?"

"You go down first. If you get news of those people who are secretly helping you, report it to me as soon as possible." Li You frowned and waved to Li Feng and said, "The appearance of these people made the whole thing extremely serious. It's complicated, you immediately arrange for people to step up investigations in the city, and arrest any suspicious people immediately."

Li Feng responded, turned around and walked out, only Li You was left in the room, who was in deep thought with his hand on his forehead.

Ever since Xiang Ye and Li Feng met an unidentified swordsman outside the city, the surface of Xingyang City has been very calm, and there has been no disturbance.

But both Li You and Zhao Tong knew that there was infinite murderous intent hidden under this calm.

Xiang Ye didn't have the slightest feeling about the undercurrent of the outside world. He lived very comfortably in the Sheriff's Mansion. Every day, a veteran would clean his room and bring him meals.

Ever since Li You rescued him from Zhao Tong, he never thought of going out of the Sheriff's Mansion. The beating he suffered at Zhao Tong made him understand a truth - it was dark outside, so he had to be cautious when going out !

Early in the morning, Xiang Ye had just woken up and was rinsing his mouth with water when Li Feng walked towards him with his hands behind his back and a smile.

"Brother, where are you rinsing your mouth?" Li Feng walked behind Xiang Ye, patted his back lightly and greeted him.

Xiang Ye was standing by the window sill, rinsing his mouth intently, when someone slapped his back suddenly, he was so startled that he quickly jumped out to the side, turned his head and sprayed a big mouthful of water at Li Feng with a "poof".

Li Feng was looking at Xiang Ye with a smile on his face. He didn't notice that Xiang Ye suddenly turned around and spit at him. When he saw the mist sprayed from Xiang Ye's mouth, he quickly dodged to avoid it, but he was a bit too slow after all. There was no way to hide, a large water splash fell on his snow-white dark clothes without leaving a single drop.

"Uh!" After spraying water towards Li Feng, Xiang Ye wiped his mouth, and then he saw clearly that the person who patted his back was Li Feng, and smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Excellency patted him from behind. Me, I thought it was a sneak attack, it's a mess...how about I clean it up for you. "

Feeling deeply guilty, Xiang Ye looked around, and finally took off the pair of socks on his feet that hadn't been changed since he crossed over, held them in his hands, walked up to Li Feng, and walked towards him without saying a word. Put it on a snow-white dark coat.

Although the socks are washed every day, after all, what he is wearing now is not the pair of snow-white sneakers he wore when he first came here, but hemp shoes with very good air permeability. The socks, which are of fairly good quality, have been worn for many days with several large holes, and of course there are also dark stains on them.

It was fine if he didn't wipe it, but once he wiped it, several gray stains were reflected on Li Feng's snow-white dark clothes.

"Okay, okay, don't wipe it!" Seeing a large stain on the white clothes, Li Feng jumped back quickly, shaking the place where Xiang Ye wiped the dirt with some distress, and said: "You still don't Wipe it, and the more you wipe it, the dirtier it will be."

"Ugh!" Xiang Ye held the socks in his hands, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to put them on again or throw them aside, he didn't say anything for a long time.

Li Feng shook his clothes for a while, sighed and said: "Forget it, if it's dirty, it's dirty, and I'll let someone wash it for me later. My lord is looking for you, come with me quickly."

"Oh!" Xiang Ye responded twice, put the pottery bowl of water on the window sill, stretched out his hand to tug on the skirt of his clothes, then raised his head and said to Li Feng: "Okay, Your Excellency, please lead the way first."

Li Feng smiled and didn't speak, and walked ahead to lead Xiang Ye, but he scolded Xiang Ye thoroughly in his heart.He just came to ask Xiang Ye to see Li You, but he didn't expect this guy to be honest and rude. He sprayed him with water and asked him to lead the way, honestly and rudely treating him as a bossy girl.

The two walked towards the back house of the Sheriff's Mansion one by one.

Li You had already been waiting in the back hall, and there was a young man sitting beside Li You. This young man was wearing light blue and dark clothes. From the color of his clothes, it could be seen that he was a descendant of a nobleman or an official.

Xiang Ye knew this young man, and he suffered a lot at the hands of this young man.The boy is none other than Mengsu who beat Xiang Ye up.

Mengsu's identity was not a secret in the Sheriff's Mansion, but it was well concealed from Xiang Ye, an outsider. Until now, he still thought that Mengsu was a man.

Li Feng led Xiang Ye into the back hall, met with Li You, and the two sat down separately. Li You said to Xiang Ye: "Xiang Zhuang, you offended Zhao Tong a few days ago. Xingyang is definitely not a place to stay for a long time. Zhao Tong intends to make things difficult for you, but even though the officials are willing to take care of you, there are times when there will be omissions. Now that your injuries are no longer serious, it is time to leave Xingyang as soon as possible. It just so happens that the officials have something to entrust to Mr. Xiang. decline!"

While talking, Li You didn't wait for Xiang Ye to reply, he turned his head and looked at Meng Su who was sitting beside him, and said, "Young Master Meng Su is the grandson of my mentor's mentor, and now the mentor's family is in a terrible disaster, there is only one seedling left. Unbearable to be tortured by Zhao Gao but unable to protect him, I begged Xiang Zhuang to take him away."

Xiang Ye glanced at Meng Su, who was sitting next to Li You with lowered eyebrows, and shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't even know where to go, so where should I go with him?"

"Go to the Jiangdong Xiang clan." As soon as Li You said that, Xiang Ye was taken aback. He didn't expect that Li You, who was the governor of Sanchuan in the Qin Dynasty, would recommend him to find Jiangdong Xiang clan who led the rebel army against Qin.

"Originally, I planned to ask you to go to General Zhang Han, but now he is fighting everywhere, and recently he overcame Linji, forcing King Jiu of Wei to set himself on fire. Soon he will move to Jiangdong again, so it will be inconvenient to follow him." Li Seeing Xiang Ye's face full of shock, he explained to him: "General Zhang Han is the commander of the Great Qin Dynasty. He holds a heavy army and is upright. But he also has helplessness. Xiang Zhuangshi, do you know who is under him?"

Xiang Ye rolled his eyes, pretended to be contemplative, and said hesitantly after a while: "Reply to my lord, I really don't know who General Zhang's wife is, please let me know!"

"Pfft!" Mengsu who was on the side just took a sip of water, and immediately spewed out all the water when Lei was told by Xiang Ye's words.

The distance between Xiang Ye and Meng Su was not too far, and Meng Su's sip of water happened to be sprayed towards Xiang Ye, not a single drop was left, and all sprayed on his face.

Seeing the water sprayed on Xiang Ye's face, Mengsu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, looked around but couldn't find anything to wipe the water on his face, so he pursed his lips and bowed his head not to look at him.

Depressed, Xiang Ye wiped the water off his face with his hands, and muttered, "It is, but General Zhang is his wife, and I don't know him very well, so I don't know what his wife's name is!"

Li You was also dumbfounded by Xiang Ye, shook his head and said: "Xiang Zhuangshi misunderstood, I said who is under General Zhang does not refer to the husband and wife, but refers to who is under General Zhang when he is on the battlefield. "

"I should have said it earlier!" Xiang Ye nodded in a sudden realization, and said, "On the battlefield, there is naturally a war horse under him, but I really don't know that a war horse is so important."

Li You stroked his forehead with black lines all over his head. He began to doubt whether the decision to let Xiang Ye take Mengsu away was correct. The guy in front of him is obviously not very mentally developed. His words are so clear, Xiang Ye It's amazing that Zhang Han's wife and his horse can be involved.

"Xiang Zhuang, what I mean is that under General Zhang Han is General Wang Li who is in charge of the defense of the Northland!" Li You cast a gloomy glance at Xiang Ye, and said with a bit of resentment in his tone: "Although General Wang Li is a man He is also very upright, but he is so loyal to the royal family that he can't tell the truth. Zhao Gao used the name of His Majesty to capture Mengsu, and General Wang firmly believed in this. It is very dangerous for Mengsu to go there. But Jiangdong Xiang, although they vowed to overthrow Daqin, they will not refuse famous generals to join them later, so it is safe to join them for the time being."

"Oh!" Xiang Ye nodded and asked, "Then when does the Sheriff want us to leave?"

"Later, you and Meng Su will change your clothes and go out of the city quietly. Zhao Tong has a lot of eyeliners in the city. After leaving the city, I can't protect you. You can only ask for luck in the future." After answering Xiang Ye, Li You said to the side Li Feng said: "Li Feng, after Xiang Zhuangshi and Mengsu leave the city, you should lead someone to follow and protect them. Don't get too close, otherwise it will easily expose the target."

"Yes!" Li Feng stood up and clasped his fists in response, then stood aside and waited for Li You to give the next order.

"Since Mr. Xiang Zhuang has no objections, it's not too late to do this matter. You and Mengsu are going to set off today, and you must be careful on the way!" Seeing that Xiang Ye didn't object and Li Feng was ready, Li You waved his hand at them and said: "Li Feng, take Xiang Zhuangshi and Mengsu to change into new outfits, and prepare a long sword for each of them."

The three of them responded, and Xiang Ye and Meng Su stood up and followed Li Feng out of the back hall.

After leaving the back hall, Xiang Ye showed a playful smile that neither Li Feng nor Meng Su noticed. He who studied history naturally knew that Wang Li, who used to be Meng Tian's lieutenant general, was an important person who assisted Zhang Han in the war at the end of Qin Dynasty. The reason why he pretended to be confused in front of Li You was that he didn't want to be too shrewd. Sometimes being too shrewd not only won't gain the trust of others, but will cause trouble for himself.

Li You entrusted him to take care of Mengsu, naturally he didn't want him to be too stupid, but if he was too shrewd, it would make Li You more worried.People who are too shrewd will calculate and calculate how to gain the maximum benefit for themselves, so it is easier to betray Mengsu. Li You knows this, and Xiang Ye also knows it, so he has to be stupid.
