Chapter 23 Li Yu
Caozhou, Zuocheng.

A large number of soldiers slammed open the locked door of Zuiyin Tower, only to find chaos inside, without a single person in sight.

Zhu Hanbin suppressed his anger and ordered a quick search of the entire building.

At the back, the staff member whispered tremblingly: "According to the guards, the man did break out from the house of the Huizhou helmsman. At that time, his attention was all outside the city, and it was almost easy for those women to get him..."

"Bastard!"

Zhu Hanbin was furious. He kicked over the small table next to him, then grabbed the aide by the collar and said in a deep voice: "If we can't find him, you and I will die!"

"Of course I know, but I don't know where they fled to..."

The staff member almost peed himself, and said with a sad face: "When my subordinates tracked down this Zuiyin Tower, many of them had already moved out of the city."

"waste!"

Zhu Hanbin's fingers were almost white as he gripped the hilt of the knife. He paced back and forth for a moment, then immediately pulled his staff over and whispered, "Send someone to Bianliang secretly to contact the Ghost King Zhu Youwen for me..."

But before he could finish, a sweet laugh suddenly came from outside, "Inspector Zhu hurried back to the city, is it because he didn't capture all the rebels?"

Zhu Hanbin turned around suddenly and saw two figures, one black and one white, each wearing a tall hat of death, looking at him.

"Black and white are impermanent?"

He snorted coldly and said with his hands behind his back, "It's just that I heard that the people from Qi Country Huanyinfang escaped, which made this governor feel a little sorry."

After saying that, he changed the subject and sneered, "It was your Xuanming Sect that carefully planned for a long time and thought it could swallow up the three forces in one go, but it's a pity that your belly is too thin and it was burst."

Bai Wuchang was not angry at all. These things were not her responsibility and could not be blamed on her. What interested her most at this moment was to take the opportunity to embarrass this big shot.

But Hei Wuchang stopped her in time, then smiled and said, "We did gain some results in this roundup of the rebels. But let's not talk about this matter. Meng Po has not met the King of Jiyin on your behalf when she came to Caozhou this time. She didn't see him when she went to the palace just now. I wonder where the governor hid her?"

Behind Zhu Hanbin, the aide wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and dared not say a word.

After the former squinted his eyes and looked at the Black and White Impermanence, he suddenly smiled coldly.
"You two are not qualified to talk to this governor!"

After saying that, he strode out, mounted his horse, pointed his whip at the two of them and said coldly: "If Meng Po wants to see the King of Jiyin, come find me!"

At the back, Bai Wuchang looked at the large group of people who hurriedly left, gently stroked his bright red lips with his hand, and smiled evilly: "Brother, what do you think he can do?"

Hei Wuchang put his hands into his sleeves and sighed: "Xuan Ling, I've told you so many times, be humble when facing these big shots."

"What are you afraid of? Sooner or later, we will control you."

"But as long as he is not held accountable, he will have the power to control the life and death of you and me."

Hei Wuchang narrowed his eyes and said softly, "It won't be too late to step on him once he really falls down."

----

Inside the government office, Zhu Hanbin threw away his sword, frowned, and shouted at his staff, "Why don't you hurry up and do what I tell you? If you're late, I won't be able to delay for much longer."

The aide hesitated for a moment and replied, "Could it be that the Xuanming Cult's people framed the governor? The Dark Emperor probably also knew that the governor had been secretly supporting the Ghost King..."

Zhu Hanbin calmed down a little and asked, "Has the news not been leaked yet?"

“For now, only a very small number of people know about it.”

"No matter what, let's tell the Ghost King first. He can also cover up for me in Bianliang."

"But, but according to rumors," the aide kept pulling his beard and said with a sad face, "it seems that the Ghost King has also been stripped of his power by the Underworld Emperor..."

"Confused!"

Zhu Hanbin could no longer bear it, and slapped him. Then he lowered his voice and said angrily: "Is the key person now the Hades Emperor? It's His Majesty! If it weren't for the Ghost King Zhu Youwen covering for me, His Majesty would be furious and you and I would all be torn into pieces by five horses!"

"Yes, yes, I was confused for a moment." The aide was awakened instantly. He covered his face and hurried down to make arrangements in a panic.

"What a waste."

Zhu Hanbin felt exhausted, and secretly regretted that he should have found some people with real skills to work under him earlier. But who would be willing to serve a warrior who was gradually becoming marginalized?

Two days ago, he was still full of energy and thought about returning to the center with his merits. Now he felt that he could not protect himself, and he was afraid that his wife and children would suffer a miserable fate.

With this in mind, he no longer bothered to care when Meng Po would come. If Bianliang heard the news later, they would risk their lives to drag the lives of the Xuanming Sect insects with them.

If they had sent Xuan Jingtian to Bianliang earlier, how could this happen! ?
Thinking of this, he strode towards the back hall.

No matter what, you have to settle your wife and children first.

When he reached the back hall, he saw that several of his servants were trembling with fear. He was filled with anger and was about to punish one of them at random, but an old servant from the inner courtyard came out tremblingly.

"Ah Lang, something bad has happened..."

Zhu Hanbin's heart sank. He pushed the old servant aside and walked quickly inside, asking, "Have you heard any rumors?"

The old servant was a little frightened, but he couldn't utter anything for a long time. He just said, "Alang, go in quickly. The person who came only said he wanted to see you. The lady..."

Zhu Hanbin frowned tightly and suddenly stopped walking.

The old servant bent over and looked forward in fear.

At the foot of the stone steps in the main hall, two men in dark blue armor and wearing conical hats, with Tang swords on their backs, were looking at them with their hands clasped in front of their chests.

Moreover, they had masks covering their faces, making it impossible to see their expressions.

But even so, Zhu Hanbin seemed to be able to see their joking expressions.

In the main hall with the door wide open, his beautiful wife had tears on her face. She looked at him pleadingly while making tea.

At the same time, there was a tall and thin figure who was holding his child's shoulders and observing the ink painting in the hall with his back to him.

Zhu Hanbin's face above the neck turned red instantly. He looked around and regretted not bringing his sword with him.

He suddenly took a step forward, pointed his spear at them and shouted, "You thieves, I didn't kill you all yesterday, how dare you cause trouble!?"

"How did you get in? Aren't you afraid that I will chop you into minced meat at my command?"

The two men in bamboo hats were not afraid at all. One of them opened the door of the wing room next to them, revealing a soldier who was tied up inside.

At the same time, the general's badge was thrown over and landed at his feet.

Zhu Hanbin felt as if someone had suddenly fed him a mouthful of shit. His face looked particularly ugly. He stared fiercely at the tall and thin figure in the hall and lowered his voice.

"Whatever you want, just talk to me. Let them go. If you dare to mess around, I will tear you into pieces without mercy!"

After saying this, he took out his badge and handed it to the old servant, waved his hand, and asked the latter to mobilize the troops.

But inside the hall, the man finally turned around and chuckled, "Zhu, you should know that the offensive and defensive positions have changed between you and me, right?"

After seeing his face, Zhu Hanbin's eyes suddenly widened, his expression changed drastically, and he was so surprised that he was almost speechless.

"Li, Li Yu!?"

Xiao Yan gently played with his young son's head and said with a smile: "Now, do you still want to cut us into pieces?"
