The city of Quancheng County was cleared. But there were huge crowds of people outside the city.
How could people who were temporarily kicked out of Quancheng County not come to see the excitement? How could the idle people from surrounding counties not come to see the excitement
Even if you can't enter the city gate of Quancheng County, you can at least stand outside the city gate and watch this spectacular event.
Hundreds of hidden stakes are lurking here, blending in with the crowd watching the fun, constantly patrolling back and forth looking for something.
Several killers whispered quietly: "Pass the order. Today, Xun Jiayuan and Xun Shifei may enter the city. There will be nothing they can do if they enter the city. We must kill them before they enter the city."
"knew."
"If your guess is correct, Xun Shifei should be among these people. Keep your eyes open, it's best to find him in secret and kill him secretly. Xun Jiayuan is probably not easy to kill. He is heavily protected, but he can act according to the situation. Bar."
"yes."
“…”
Hundreds of other hidden stakes and killers were also lurking in the crowd.
"The leader will enter the city today. There should be an ambush by Du Taiping's people. Let's secretly find those killers and deal with them."
"knew."
"Also, if you see Xun Jiayuan entering the city, kill him if you can. If you really don't have a chance, don't fight. If you don't kill him and let him enter the city, you will be in bad luck."
"yes."
“…”
Xun Shifei's "plain clothes" are also here.
In the crowd, an old man wearing a felt hat marveled at the scientists walking along the way, his eyes gleaming with vigilance. Constantly looking for something in the crowd.
The crowd around him must not have noticed that the old man had a bulging waist, a blunderbuss, a poisoned crossbow, and a dagger.
At this time, four or five young people who were also watching the excitement crowded to the front.
"Who is that?"
"The best calligrapher in Kyushu, Wang Heng."
"Is that Wang Heng?"
Four or five young people were talking and pushing forward, causing the people around them to frown in dissatisfaction.
When he arrived at the old man's side, a young man suddenly put his arm around the old man's shoulders: "Huh? Are you here too?"
The old man turned around subconsciously and saw an unfamiliar face, and he secretly screamed. But there was no chance to react. He only felt a pain in his heart, and then all the strength in his body began to drain away.
Someone stabbed him in the back with a sharp thorn from behind, and two people were surrounded on the side and behind, which was just enough to cover him up so that no one around him noticed.
The old man's body began to tremble violently. The young man hugged his neck and laughed and said, "Let's go and have a drink."
Then four or five young men pinched him and backed away.
No one noticed from beginning to end that someone was killed here...
But some people are curious why there is blood on the ground? But when you think about the chaos here, who might have had a nosebleed? No one cares.
The assassination campaign begins.
There was a lot of bustle outside Quancheng in the bright light, but in the dark outside Quancheng there was already a river of blood.
People are constantly being killed, and dead people are being dragged away.
In fact, there are definitely more than two factions of killers hidden in the crowd.
There are three forces of killers.
Including Xun Jiayuan, they all sent killers to sneak into the crowd to pull out nails and protect themselves secretly. Because Xun Jiayuan knew that someone was definitely going to kill him when he entered the city, and secret protection was definitely more important than open protection.
No coincidence.
The assassins sent by Xun Shifei entrusted by Wang Sandao were also in the crowd, secretly pulling out the nails of other forces, looking for opportunities to assassinate their competitors, and protecting their masters at the same time.
Of course, there were also fights between killers in some places, but they only caused small-scale commotion. Because the assassins and assassins were competing with each other, neither of them took out such things as fire guns, bows and crossbows. It's all a fight with cold weapons.
And they all subconsciously stay away from the crowd, and they disappear as soon as they hit them.
From the perspective of ordinary people, this is probably a fight between people who had some hatred before, right? Or in this huge crowd, if you squeeze me or I touch you, conflicts may arise.
Don’t blame everyone for being stupid, don’t blame everyone for not thinking about it.
The main reason is that these killers are not disguised as killers. Some are old people, some are teenagers, some are women, and some are young people. None of them look like killers. And... how can ordinary people understand the final fight between the three factions
——
One day passed.
Relatively peaceful.
Xun Shifei and Xun Jiayuan have not appeared yet.
And those guests are almost here, unless they are really far away and have to arrive tomorrow. Most of the rest came yesterday and today.
Quancheng County has also begun to become very lively. You can see talented people everywhere, as well as academic leaders and scientific leaders everywhere.
Kyushu’s top elites can be seen everywhere. The richest group of people in Kyushu can be seen everywhere.
Li Zhen didn't see anyone except Xu Shenxue and Ge Qingping, and stayed in his room all day long.
Because Li Zhen also knew that he was actually in danger until the last moment. Just don't cause any trouble to the security forces.
"I didn't expect Zhang Zhi to have such a rich knowledge of politics and military affairs."
Li Zhen looked at the dense handwriting written on the paper and kept sighing.
These words were written by himself, but Zhang Zhi told him.
When I wake up in the morning, for fear of forgetting, the first thing I do when I open my eyes is to write these things down.
"Only when we achieve true unity of will can we think in one place and work hard in one place."
"It makes sense."
Li Zhen praised the case: "I was worried about crossing the river by feeling the stones, and Zhang Zhi brought me scientific management experience. Yes, we still have to form a sandwich one-size-fits-all governance model. There will be no chaos in Kyushu. Centralization of power from the beginning to the end. Tail. Only in this way can the corruption trend in Kyushu and the phenomenon of officials and gangsters be solved, right?"
"This proposal is even better. High salary supports integrity. Tsk tsk... Give all officials high salaries, and take 30% of each month's salary, which will be kept by the state, and the state will help you save money. If you don't make any mistakes until you retire, If you make a serious mistake, the money you have saved over the years will be paid to you in one lump sum, including interest. If you make a mistake, all of it will be confiscated... High salary supports integrity."
Li Zhen looked at these themes and ideas, and his vision for the future became increasingly clear.
In fact, you only need to establish the general policy. There is only one purpose, which is to unite all the people of Kyushu.
Only by uniting can we accomplish anything.
Looking out the window, the entire Quancheng County was bustling with activity, and seeing the elites from all over the place walking around and observing, Li Zhen suddenly felt more confident than ever before.
You can bring this country to a better place.
Of course I won't be the emperor. But Li Zhen believed that the emperor he chose from those three people would definitely be able to bring this country to the top of the world.
From then on, no one in the world dared to bully Kyushu.
"Master Li, it's time to sleep now."
"Um."
"You have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning. There will be a meeting at the main square in Quancheng County at eight o'clock in the morning. You need two hours to prepare."
Li Zhen nodded: "The father and son of the Xun family haven't arrived yet?"
"Not yet. Xun Jiayuan disappeared suddenly. He was originally on the way to Quancheng County, but he suddenly disappeared without any news. Xun Shifei... no one knows where he is now."
Li Zhen said seriously: "Now that we have reached the gate of Quancheng County, everyone should stop. Strengthen the security force outside Quancheng County and don't let anyone be killed at the gate."
"knew."
"The order goes down. Before midnight, the gates of Quancheng County will be locked. No one is allowed to enter or go out."
"What does Master Li mean?"
Li Zhen yawned and said impatiently: "Can't a group of people wait for them? God knows if they will hide until the conference is held tomorrow and then rush in covered in blood. How unlucky is that? No. It looks good. All disputes should end tonight. Tomorrow... I want them to be decent."
"knew."
Li Zhen's ultimatum was issued, the news spread to everyone's ears, and Quancheng County was closed at twelve o'clock tonight. No one is allowed in or out.
This is an ultimatum to the two hide-and-seek men.
It also gives the three parties the final time to fight.
All fighting, all civil wars, must end before twelve o'clock tonight.
