Li Qian closed his eyes tightly, seeming helpless and unwilling.

The danger outside the door was extremely high. As soon as Lu Zhaoyi opened the door, cold arrows would be fired from the courtyard outside.

However, the black-armored guards of a hundred people outside the door were protecting her, so she wasn't too worried.

And once she leaves the county government, with Li Qian in such a weak state, she can't do anything, and she will still encounter murderous hands.

"Gou Chenzi!"

Li Qian suddenly shouted with all his strength, "Now that Li's life is in danger, I still need to rely on you for all affairs in the county. My master is in charge of the overall situation at Yingshangguan and cannot interfere in the affairs of the county. From now on, I can only

Entrusted to you!"

Lu Zhaoyi's steps stagnated, and his back stiffened, but his face remained calm.

She slowly turned around and said, "Okay! You need to rest first."

"It is not advisable for you to travel long distances. At midnight tonight, I will order someone to secretly send you to a boat on the river. When you arrive at Guangling County, Xuzhou, the Qingzhou Army will take care of you!"

After saying this, she didn't stay any longer, and pushed out the door with steady steps.

Inside the house, Li Qian opened his eyes, still looking at the rafters dreamily.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, Lu Zhaoyi immediately ordered Xia Pinglang to take precautions.

Before she finished speaking, several cold arrows were fired at her, but due to her reminder, the hundreds of black-armored guards reacted immediately and quickly pulled out their shields from behind, and the team quickly gathered together to protect her behind the shield.

In the courtyard, except for their team of a hundred people, there was no one else.

But a moment later, about thirty people jumped in from behind the courtyard walls in all directions, all of them wearing black clothes and covering their faces. They drew their swords and rushed towards the black-armored guards.

I don't know who shouted in the crowd, "Don't worry about other people, just kill that woman and retreat!"

The wind howled, and a shower of arrows fell from the sky.

Among the hundreds of armored guards, fifty of them surrounded Lu Zhaoyi with their shields, firmly protecting her within them, while the other fifty drew their swords and rushed forward to fight at close range.

The black-armored guards were special guards trained by Duke Wu when he was still alive. They were well-trained and killed countless enemies on the battlefield. With one against a hundred, it was not difficult to deal with this group of killers.

The scene was chaotic, with flashes of swords and clanging sounds of weapons clashing one after another.

Lu Zhaoyi stood behind the shield, and the arrow penetrated the wooden shield and nailed into the ground. While she was dodging, there was still a nail at her feet, and she was almost stabbed.

Not long after, under the counterattack of the black-armored guards, seven or eight of the thirty men in black were left. They wanted to escape but couldn't. With the powerful arm strength and reaction power of the black-armored guards,

Those who are still alive are no better off.

After two cups of tea, each of these people was held on the ground, with the black armored guards pressing their heads with their knees, and they suddenly lost the strength to fight back.

After walking out from behind the shield, she glanced at the man in black whose head was pressed down, and it seemed like something was moving under the mask covering his face.

"Take off the turban! Cut out the tongue!"

Want to commit suicide by taking poison? It's not that simple!

The black-armored guards moved quickly and sensitively. None of the men in black escaped. All of them had their tongues cut off and lay on the ground screaming in pain.

"Take them all down and interrogate them carefully. No matter what method you use to pry open their mouths, they must reveal their mastermind!"

The black-armored guards took the order and dragged the black-clad assassins away.

Lu Zhaoyi glanced around and glanced into the room, leaving a few people behind to protect Li Qian.

At midnight, under the escort of a group of black armored guards, Li Qian was put on the ferry on the river bank and headed east.

On the second day, Junqiu County experienced major changes. First, the county governor Li Qian was assassinated, leaving the county without a leader. The county commander, Ding Rong, tried his best to calm the restless hearts of the officials and people in the city.

Second, around noon that day, Wu Jin's army came westward again, and 20,000 troops took over the county seat. Xia Pei entered the county government office, and the whole city was on alert until the mastermind of the assassination was found, and everything was normal.

When these two things happened, Lu Zhaoyi was nesting in the backyard of the county government office, discussing the next deployment with the black armor guards.

Even now, the scope of the disaster is getting smaller and smaller, and more than a thousand miles of ferry crossings along the river have been controlled, so no outsiders will intervene.

At the same time, a ban has been issued within the blockade area, and no one is allowed to go out without permission. As long as this situation continues, Feicheng will continue to cure patients, and one day the malaria will be completely eliminated.

But the people who caused all this will still continue to do such things when they turn back.

Therefore, she wanted to find the person who planned the plan before the plague was over. She wanted this person to apologize in front of the whole world.

"During my absence, you will be in charge of Junqiu County. No one is allowed to approach. Every merchant, salesman, coachman, clerk, etc. who enters the county will be more strictly investigated. Anyone who is suspicious will be arrested and tortured.

We must dig out the person behind the scenes!"

"When Shadow Wind comes to Junqiu County, I will return to Feicheng." Lu Zhaoyi slowly looked away from the window and looked back with a smile, "Let's go and find the spies in this county first, shall we?"

Xia Pinglang followed her all the way to the front hall of the county government office.

When they entered the hall, Xia Pei was sitting in the first place, along with the county captain Ding Rong, the county chief Ran Feng and the county magistrate Chen Zhong.

Seeing her come in, all the county and county officials bowed their hands and saluted.

Xia Pei, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked at her lightly and nodded slightly.

In the hall, Lu Zhaoyi looked around at everyone, seeming to notice the changes in their faces, but after just a few seconds, he passed by and rushed towards the hall.

"Your Majesty is very quick in his actions. I admire him very much. He was able to control the entire county in just half a day. It is really rare..."

Hearing this, Xia Pei was almost angry at her, but due to the occasion and sentiment, he held back.

"What did Lu Qing say? Is there any place in the world that I can't go to without being the king's land?"

He spoke calmly, as if he was saying something simple, but this kind of bearing with the world in mind deeply shocked the hearts of everyone below.

"Yes! Your Majesty is absolutely right!" Lu Zhaoyi smiled awkwardly, and then his eyes rolled, "But some people don't think so. Instead, they take a city and a land as their own private property, and they don't hesitate to murder the head of a county. From this,

There is no such thought as 'could it be the land of the king'?"

Her tone was full of sarcasm and playfulness, and it seemed more like she was speaking to the county officials than to Xia Pei.

Xia Pei understood and cleared his throat, "Lu Qing, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the assassination of Li Qing yesterday was carried out by someone in this hall?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone below all changed, and they even trembled violently, staring at Lu Zhaoyi.

The others were all horrified, as if they wanted to stare holes in her face.

Because these words are too intimidating. They are county officials who have been working hard and never dare to slack off. How can they be insulted like this now?

The next moment, Ding Rong held up his old body, pointed at Lu Zhaoyi and cursed, "You witch, don't talk nonsense! I am loyal to the country and the people, how can I murder the county governor? How dare I covet the city, pond and land? Don't you?

You must talk nonsense and ruin my reputation."

His voice was loud and somewhat hoarse, obviously because he was older and spoke louder.

"Oh?" Lu Zhaoyi snorted coldly, "Then tell me, what is your reason for murdering the county governor?"

Her tone was indifferent, but it made Ding Rong's body tremble a few more times. He swallowed his saliva and said, "You witch, I won't argue with you. In short, don't slander me on this matter!"

Seeing this, Xia Pei seemed to be guessing, and his face suddenly darkened, "Ding Qing, if Lu Qing has wronged you, even if I prove my innocence, I am not a fool, and I will definitely uphold justice for you."

Lu Zhaoyi was stunned and turned to look at Xia Pei with an innocent face, "Your Majesty, I never said he was? He jumped in by himself..."

Hearing this, Ding Rong's face turned red and he was speechless.

Everyone suddenly understood.

This is just his own guilty conscience, not the person Lu Zhaoyi is targeting. Moreover, this old boy has always been timid. Even if he is guilty of corruption, he would not dare to do anything extraordinary under the resolute and resolute tactics of the county governor Li Qian.

Xia Pei was also looking at him, but now was not the time to take advantage of this person. The most important thing now was to find the person who assassinated Li Qian and occupied the fields and cities.

Except for Ding Rong, everyone else seemed extremely calm, but the calmer the person, the more likely he is to be the culprit.
