It took Tan Shu, who received the secret message from Song Mu, to react for a long time.

I really didn't expect that the court would take the initiative to seek peace from the "rebels" that have always claimed. Although this peace was carried out secretly, to a certain extent, it was just the personal action of the chief minister Song Mu, and could not fully represent the court.

But when you think about Song Mu's identity and the Empress Dowager Song behind him, the attitude of the court is no longer important.

Sometimes, the attitude of the court is the result of many people's negotiation and compromise, but sometimes, the attitude of the court is the attitude of one or two people who keep their word.

Although Song Mu was vague in the letter, Tan Shu could feel Song Mu's fear and fear of the "Tang Marquis".

Is the opponent really that strong?

Of course, it would be strong, otherwise Lin Ruhai and his son would not have been defeated and defeated.

When I thought of such a powerful force, it was entrenched in Yan'an Prefecture hundreds of miles away from me. Judging from the distance of my jurisdiction, it was less than a hundred miles away from Sanshui County, where I was the county magistrate.

If this force really drives its troops south, then Sanshui County will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

This made Tan Shu secretly sweat.

Thinking of this, he thought about why the Tang Marquis seemed to have no movement when Liu Jian was the magistrate of Sanshui County?

Is it because Liu Jian has a Li Xu?

Thinking of Li Xu, Tan Shu thought of Lin Ruhai and his son who had had conflicts with Li Xu one after another.

At that time, Li Xu, a small county lieutenant, dared to confront Lin's father and son so tough and even mercilessly, and even shot Lin Ruhai's helmet with one arrow. In the end, Lin Ruhai, the most prestigious general in the Qin army, admitted defeat, forcing Lin Yi, the proud "Lin Qilinzi" who was about to break through the sky, could only avoid his edge.

Why did he dare to do this?

Where does his confidence come from?

Tan Shu definitely doesn't believe it just because Li Xu relies on Song's appreciation and the reckless impulse from young people.

He vaguely felt that the reason why Li Xu dared to do this was truly fearless. On the surface, he was not afraid of Lin Ruhai and his son at all. However, if he thought further, he didn't care about his future and didn't care at all that it might come from the court's punishment or the abandonment of the Song family.

He is so ordinary, but why is he so confident?

Tan Shu had a great idea, and combined with the situation in Sanshui County, he suddenly thought of an amazing fact that he couldn't believe.

Li Xu's confidence came from that "Marquis Tang".

Li Xu's surname is Li, and the Tang Marquis claimed to be a descendant of the royal family of the pre-Tang Dynasty, so naturally the surname is Li.

There is no relationship between the two, Tan Shu would not believe it.

Could it be that Li Xu is the man of the Tang Marquis, or is his son at all?

Because of this, Sanshui County can always maintain peace and Li Xu can be fearless in opposition to Lin Ruhai and his son.

But if Li Xu was the man of the Tang Marquis, what was his purpose of joining the court and becoming an official and a general?

Thinking of this, Tan Shu was shocked and felt that his back was soaked in an instant.

When he thought of the young man with handsome eyebrows and free smile, he might have been a spy who had an enemy infiltrated the court. In the summer, Tan Shu felt cold all over.

Once this terrible thought arises, it will never be eliminated. It has been lingering in his heart and fermenting, making him restless and restless. He sat alone in the study for half an afternoon, thinking hard about what he should do?

His first reaction was to write a letter to the chief assistant Song Mu, but then he thought, was Song Mu not smarter than himself, and he had never thought about this possibility?

Again, all of this was his conjecture, and he had no evidence at all.

If he suddenly said it, given Li Xu's current relationship with Song Mu, Song Mu would not only not thank him, but would even hate him for it, thinking that he would instigate him.

If Li Xu knew about it, with his style of conduct, he would probably have a result that he would not be much better than the Lin father and son.

But where does the evidence come from?

Tan Shu thought of Lijiazhuang. Since Lijiazhuang is Li Xu's hometown, he started investigating Lijiazhuang, and maybe he could find a trace of clues.

As long as there is evidence, Song Xiang's cleverness will definitely lead to the truth. At that time, he will make great contributions to the court, and his future will naturally be bright.

But when he was just determined to send someone to Lijiazhuang for an undercover visit, his eyes suddenly fell on the letter from Song Mu in front of him.

"Splitting the earth and being crowned kings, and not invading each other."

These eight words instantly split the entanglement, confusion, desire and pain in Tan Shu's heart, and woke him up suddenly.

If something really happened to Li Xu, would Tang Hou, who could allow the court to offer the conditions of "breaking the ground and becoming a king" let him go?

The answer is obvious.

At this moment, Tan Shu's heart suddenly became clear.

Whether Li Xu is an undercover spy is not something he should worry about.

What I have to do now is to go to Yan'an Prefecture as Song Xiang ordered, and everything else has nothing to do with him.

After understanding this joint, Tan Shu suddenly felt relieved.

Suddenly, I felt my mouth dry and tongue dry, so I asked someone to give myself a cup of tea to cool down and relieve the heat.

But the tea-sui Chang Sui was a little strange. Why did his master sit in the pay-off room like he was fished out of the water, and his throat suddenly became hoarse.

...

In the city gate building north of Sanshui County, Geng Liang, the Sanshui County Magistrate who had just inspected the city defense, sat down and rested. After chewing a watermelon in a few bites, he picked up a piece of watermelon and started sucking it.

After eating three large pieces of watermelon, I felt comfortable all of a sudden. I threw away the watermelon skin and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, covering my stomach and humming softly.

I thought that a month ago, I was just a young master from a rich man in the countryside. Although I had been practicing martial arts since I was a child, I also had the ambition to make achievements in my heart, but in the end, as I grew older and years changed, it gradually faded away.

He was bullied by the government, and even the manor he relies on was occupied by thieves, and his whole family almost died at the hands of the thieves.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of County Li, oh, it would be General Li now.

If General Li hadn't helped his life, his family would have turned into a pile of bones at this moment. How could he sit here as comfortable as he is now gnawing on the cool and sweet watermelon?

General Li not only saved his family, but also gave himself and his younger brother a future.

This county lieutenant was taken from General Li.

If you want to rely on him, you will probably be the best in your life if you can become a military marquis in your life.

Geng Ping is not a fool. He knows that the reason why Li Xu is like this is because he wants to cultivate himself.

So he thought of this kindness in his heart, knowing that everything he gave to him now was given by Li Xu, so he naturally had to do things for Li Xu.

In addition to defending the foundation of Sanshui County that Li Xu has worked hard to create, all the abnormalities he secretly monitored are also his task.

For example, the movements of the new county magistrate Tan Shu.
