Everyone in the hall also looked at Yang Chen at this time. The military officer from the Imperial City Department naturally would not be frightened. After exchanging glances with Li Ling, he shouted: "You said you went up the mountain the day before yesterday and mentioned Bai Zhu's death at that time. This is really unreasonable! Because their bodies were not discovered in the forest outside the city until today. How dare you ask how you learned about the death earlier?"

This question immediately changed everyone's faces. Li Ling was surprised. It turned out that the other party had already revealed a flaw, and he was too careless. Fortunately, he was careful with Yang Chen. Liu Xu obviously showed a hint of uneasiness, and his mind was spinning rapidly. He wanted to refute, but it was hard to say for a while.

As for Bai Xianhe and other barbarian leaders, they were already suspicious at this time, and their eyes looked at Liu Xu were a little wrong. They were so honest that they were silent for a moment, and then asked straightforwardly: "What's going on?"

"I..." Liu Xu felt even more weak, but he could not give a strong explanation. Just looking at his appearance was enough to make people feel more suspicious. But Li Ling would not miss this opportunity, and immediately said loudly: "I understand, in fact, everything this time is about you who are making trouble behind the scenes, provoking conflicts between the Han and the barbarians, and after they fought, they killed people to silence them, and eliminated all the people involved in this matter!

"Bai-headed man, you may not know that Bai Zhu had previously made an appointment with the local Han people on behalf of the barbarians in the city. A Han citizen who was doing sowering things like him was also found and killed earlier. In addition, not only Bai Zhu's body was found in the forest today, but also the body of a county official and his family. The official was also suspected of provoking conflicts between the two sides.

"So, after all, their death is caused by the murder of those who want to promote the chaos. Before discovering the body, the only one who can know that Bai Zhu is dead is the murderer behind the scenes!"

After this inference was made, the leaders of Baishizhai even locked their suspicious eyes on Liu Xu. The latter completely showed what a guilty person was. He actually retreated out subconsciously, and could not even say a word to defend himself.

Now I was really not asking for help. The leaders who understood were furious and didn't have to speak with me. Someone had already ordered loudly: "Catch him for me!"

With this roar, several strong barbarians who had been guarding outside the hall rushed forward and were about to take him. Although Liu Xu was far from eloquent than Li Ling, he was not as good as Li Ling's skills. He was not panicked when he saw this. He just dodged and let him attack him face to face. At the same time, he exerted force under his feet and wanted to break out of the hall.

But he obviously underestimated the combat power of Li Ling and others beside him. During this movement, except for Li Moyun still protecting Li Ling, the Yang brothers rushed up simultaneously and attacked from left to right. Although he easily avoided the barbarians' capture, he was hit on the shoulder by Yang Zhen coming from the side, causing his body to stagger.

Yang Chen also cooperated with his leg and swept it out, making his body tilted and he fell to the ground in a mess. In this way, the barbarian warriors who had pounced on him naturally seized this opportunity, rushed forward, and pressed his body and limbs hard.

These guys may not be Liu Xu's opponents in terms of opportunity and tricks, but they are purely competing for strength, and they naturally have the upper hand because of the fact that they are the few. In addition, they not only pressed the people, but also took the opportunity to punch them in the back of the head, and immediately knocked Liu Xu, the envoy of Luo Tian Sect, unconscious.

In this mess, Li Ling and the others stepped aside and did not take action again. Until the person was completely taken down, Li Ling smiled and looked at Bai Xianhe and others: "Now you should believe what I said is true, right? In fact, all this is just a misunderstanding, or someone is conspiring to plot against him. So please don't be merciless. It is the wisest choice to cooperate with the government!"

Bai Xianhe Bujue, who was already a little moved, nodded, but before he could make a promise, someone on the side was worried and said, "Head, is this still a conspiracy of the Han government? Everything is their plan, which is to lead you to the county town and take you down..."

"I think the government is really unfavorable to your Baishi Village and you don't have to do so many tricks. Just send a large army to attack." Li Ling immediately retorted, "This is a big event that concerns the reputation of the county government. If anyone else has changed to it, it would be impossible for anyone to lose the big picture. Baitou, the government is really open and honest to meet you this time, so I specially ordered me to invite you. I don't think you don't want your Baishi Village and the tribe members of other villages around to get involved in a big chaos, and countless casualties are in the end, right?"

Bai Xianhe nodded gently, and Li Ling's last sentence did touch his heart. As the most prestigious barbarian leader in the county, he did have the intention to preserve the entire clan, but it was impossible to say that he had no worries. After all, they had long been deeply rooted in their understanding of "crawling Han people" and it was related to their own safety, so they naturally had some doubts.

Li Ling saw his thoughts at a glance, and could only sigh and said, "Since the white-headed man has such concerns, I will give you a guarantee. In this way, if you go to the county town, I will stay in the village as hostages to keep you safe, how about it?"

"Just rely on you?" someone next to him immediately said suspiciously.

"I am a seventh-rank official in the imperial court. My status is not below the county magistrate. Can't I change you as the leader of the village?"

Li Ling had already said this. Even if Bai Xianhe had any doubts, it was hard to mention them again, otherwise he would really seem too timid. At the moment, he waved his hand to stop others' further doubts: "I believe the sincerity of the government and you, Lord Li. Since that's the case, I should do what will happen tomorrow."

When Li Ling saw him agreeing, he was also happy. He took the risk to come here in vain: "It is really a blessing for both of you and me to understand the overall situation so much, and it is also a blessing for the entire southern Yunnan!"

After deciding on this matter, Li Ling and the others naturally became guests of the Baishi Village. With Bai Xian's greeting, someone presented the wine and food in the village and treated them well. Finally, they were placed in two pretty good houses to rest, and they would only be sent away after the leader and their friends came back safely the next day.

Compared with them, Liu Xu, who became prisoners, was much more miserable. Not only did he suffer a lot, he was finally locked up in a small and humid cave dripping with water. It is said that when Bai Xian and a few of them returned from the county town, he would send him to the county town.

This made Liu Xu both upset and panic. He really didn't expect that he, who should have mastered everything, would end up like this. He had already told Bai Xianhe earlier, but in a blink of an eye, the other party actually turned to the government. Now there was a major omission in the overall plan, but what should we do?

Especially the many chess pieces arranged by the Luotian Sect in the local area will inevitably act according to the previous plan. Now things have changed, maybe they will all be exposed, and the damage will be too great.

No, I have to leave here at all costs!

Liu Xu made up his mind secretly, but his body was tied up, and it was extremely difficult to move, let alone escape from the prison. Just when he was helpless, a voice suddenly came from the cave: "Did this guy resist the Rulai?"

"Captain Bai Feng, he was tied to death and could not move at all, let alone resist."

"It's great, but I have to go over and see. You all keep it." The speaker soon came to the cave. Liu Xu, who was leaning against the cave wall, looked at him narrowly, and soon recognized that the other party was Bai Xian and a barbarian leader beside him, but he had not paid much attention before.

But now his sudden arrival forced Liu Xu to think more. Is this to take revenge on himself? If this is true, he will not even be able to protect himself.

Just when Liu Xu was very uneasy, Bai Feng lowered his voice and said, "Why are you so useless? I was going to cooperate with you to encourage Bai Xianhe to send troops."

"Ah..." After being stunned, Liu Xu was immediately happy, "Are you a person in my teaching? Let me out quickly..."

But no action was seen from the other party: "When you let go of you, can you escape from my Baishi Village?"

"But……"

"Listen to me, the situation is now like this, we must use some extraordinary means to take risks. There are still opportunities. As long as we can arouse the hatred between the two sides in person, the Han and the Manchus will eventually fight." As the man said, his hand trembled, a cold light of the sword had accurately landed in front of Liu Xu, but a short knife was inserted into the soil.

"You will use this knife to cut the ropes later, but don't get out of the trap. Wait until tomorrow, and then act when you see the opportunity, and get rid of those Li Ling and the others." Bai Feng ordered with a serious expression.

"Kill them... this is a solution!" Liu Xu immediately understood his intention. As long as the court officials really die here, Baishizhai will have no way out. Then what choice will he have besides rebelling?

"What about you?" He thought of another point and looked at the other party.

"As I, of course, I will go to the county town with Bai Xianhe and then take the opportunity to assassinate Yin Taibei." Bai Feng smiled again. With his identity, as long as he takes action, no matter whether he succeeds or not, it will be enough to arouse the hostility of the government to Baishizhai. As long as someone there cooperates with the actions, the situation that the government finally controls will be completely reversed.

A eager light flashed in Liu Xu's eyes. By this time, this was indeed the only choice to turn the tables. He nodded hard at the moment and nodded hard: "Okay, I'll listen to you!" As he said that, he moved forward and turned around, and barely reached the short knife, hid it behind him, and slowly cut the rope.

After Bai Feng received his approval, he stopped staying for a long time. He just nodded at Liu Xu and left quickly.
