Chapter 624 Identity Exposed?

Silent mansion.

In the dim basement.

Several figures were tied up and thrown on the ground at random.

In a miserable state!

With their mouths blocked, they could only make whimpering sounds.

I don’t know how long it took.

“Click!”

The lights in the basement slowly lit up.

The strong light stimulated the eyes of several people. After they adapted, they finally realized their situation.

Where is this?

Several people showed a trace of fear on their faces.

Then, footsteps approached!

Soon, several figures stepped into the basement.

When they saw the leading figure, their pupils suddenly shrank.

This woman...

It’s this woman!

Caught them all back.

This woman is very powerful!

Several people showed a trace of fear on their faces and struggled desperately again.

After this woman, a young man appeared.

A very handsome young man.

Obviously, this young man seems to be the master of the woman.

He is also the real master here!

Soon, several guards came in and took away the stuff that was stuffed in their mouths.

"Tell me, who sent you here!"

The young man spoke in a calm tone, but his cold eyes gave the people present an inexplicable chill.

For some reason, I always felt that this young man was a little strange.

All of them were stunned, especially the middle-aged man, who stared at the young man with a gloomy face.

He never thought that just following the master's order to take those women home, such an accident would happen.

Not only did they not bring the people back, but they were even arrested in humiliation.

If this gets out, it will be a big loss of face!

"What? Don't you speak?"

Seeing that they didn't speak, Li Beifeng showed a sneer on his face, and a hint of indifference appeared in his cold eyes.

Not long ago, Shen Qingning and the others came back in a hurry and told him what happened in Sunset City tonight.

It attracted Li Beifeng's attention!

Then, Qiuyue came back. At the same time, he also brought these people back!

Looking at the clothes on these people, they don't look like ordinary people, but more like guards and servants of a wealthy family.

So...

Who are they?

"You don't want to talk, right? Then don't blame me for being rude!"

Li Beifeng spoke silently and glanced at Qiuyue beside him.

Qiuyue suddenly stepped forward, a cold light flashed, and the sword in her hand was unsheathed!

In an instant, the cold air was directly pressing on the four people.

"If you don't say it, you will die!"

She said coldly.

Such a cold air was so pressing that a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of several people.

"Don't be impulsive, there is no need to die!"

Li Beifeng behind him stopped Qiuyue, glanced at these people, and said meaningfully: "Sometimes, being alive is more painful than being dead!"

The change without any expression was enough to make several people's faces change slightly.

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "You dare? Do you know who I am?"

"Who is it?"

Li Beifeng narrowed his eyes.

The middle-aged man seemed to think of something and shut up again!

"Don't tell? Haha!"

Li Beifeng sneered and glanced at Qiuyue beside him: "Let's go!"

"Hmm?"

Qiuyue looked back at Li Beifeng in confusion, but found that Li Beifeng had turned around and left the basement.

Although she was puzzled, she still followed him.

In the basement, there were only four people tied up, and... two expressionless guards.

As the door of the basement closed, the two guards walked towards the four people step by step.

...

Outside the basement.

Li Beifeng stood in the yard, quietly admiring the night view.

Compared with the capital, the night view of Sunset City is obviously much more beautiful!

The sky is full of stars, like a dream.

Qiuyue's footsteps stood not far away, looking at Li Beifeng who was looking up at the starry sky, she seemed to think of something, and a complicated look appeared on her face.

She was ready to take a step closer, but just after taking a step, she stopped again.

He also looked up at the starry sky, silent.

Half an hour later.

The door of the basement opened!

The two guards wiped the cold sweat from their bodies and said, "Sir, they confessed!"

"Yes!"

Li Beifeng glanced at the two and nodded without surprise.

The two people in front of him were from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau!

They were the ones who followed Lin Ning to Li Beifeng in Chaoyang County.

Now, they have also followed to Sunset City.

As members of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, torture is a common thing for them and they are familiar with it.

There is no need for Li Beifeng to do anything to pry open the mouths of those people.

"What are their origins?"

Li Beifeng asked.

One of the guards said in a deep voice, "Sir, they... are from the Governor's Mansion!"

"What?!"

Li Beifeng was startled, as if he didn't hear it clearly: "Where are they from?"

"Governor's Mansion!"

The guard said in a deep voice, "They were sent by the Governor of Beizhou!"

"Governor?!"

Li Beifeng's expression froze instantly.

Governor of Beizhou?

He Wansheng?

How did it get involved with him?

What was going on?

A series of questions flashed through his mind, and Li Beifeng said in a deep voice: "What is the purpose of the governor sending them here?"

The guard shook his head: "They said... the governor wanted to see the ladies, so he wanted to ask the ladies to go back..."

Li Beifeng looked solemn and remained silent.

What's going on?

He had never had any friendship with He Wansheng and did not know each other.

Why does he suddenly want to meet some ladies?

Who to meet?

Lime or Susan?

Without saying a word, Li Beifeng stepped into the basement again.

In the basement.

Those people were lying curled up on the cold ground, with painful expressions and ferocious eyes.

Obviously, they seemed to have experienced some painful torture.

Li Beifeng came to the middle-aged man with an expressionless face and stared at him: "Let me ask you, why did He Wansheng send you here?!"

"You, you dare to call the governor by his first name..."

The middle-aged man's face looked painful and ferocious, but he still gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"It seems that you haven't enjoyed it enough yet!"

Li Beifeng said coldly with an expressionless face.

As if remembering the painful torture just now, a trace of fear appeared on the middle-aged man's face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since you know that we are from the Governor's Mansion, you should also know the consequences of offending the Governor, right?"

"I don't want to hear any other nonsense!"

Li Beifeng stared at him coldly: "What did He Wansheng send you to do?"

Extremely cold words.

The middle-aged man's face was particularly ugly. He never expected that this young man was so ungrateful.

He actually doesn't even pay attention to the governor?

Is he crazy?

But at this moment, he was already shocked by the young man's aura.

Gritting his teeth: "Lord Governor, let me invite those girls back!"

"What did He Wansheng ask them to do?"

Li Beifeng said coldly: "What's the purpose?"

"The governor didn't give any instructions, he just asked us to invite a few girls back..."

"..."

From the mouths of these people, I couldn't get much other useful information.

He Wansheng sent them here just to take Qing Ning and the others back.

What's the purpose?

Li Beifeng frowned, realizing that things seemed a bit complicated.

After leaving the basement, he quickly found Shen Qingning.

"Qing Ning, what happened to you outside today? Tell me everything!"

Shen Qingning saw Li Beifeng's serious face and knew that the matter was not simple, so she told Li Beifeng everything that happened today in detail.

But, nothing else.

Today, they visited Sunset City under the leadership of Li Xinyi. Other than that, nothing strange happened.

Not only Shen Qingning said this, but Su Shan and Xinyi also explained it this way!

They did not come into contact with other people today, nor did they have any conflicts.

So……

Why did He Wansheng suddenly invite them back?

Logically speaking, He Wansheng is the governor of Beizhou, but Qing Ning and Su Shan are coming here for the first time, and it is impossible for them to have any interaction with him before...

etc? !

At this moment, something seemed to explode in Li Beifeng's mind!

He suddenly remembered something!

Intention? !

It’s my intention!

Qing Ning and Su Shan had never been to Sunset City, and they didn't know He Wansheng, so naturally they had no interaction with him. It is absolutely impossible for He Wansheng to be looking for them!

But my thoughts are different!

Xinyi grew up in Sunset City since she was a child. She can almost be said to be a native of Sunset City.

More importantly...her identity!

At this moment, Li Beifeng, who seemed to have figured something out, felt his heart suddenly sink.

He suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Get up and walk outside.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Shen Qingning's slightly anxious voice came from behind.

Li Beifeng soon came to another room and saw Xinyi.

"My heart!"

In the room, Li Xinyi, who had finished washing and was getting ready to rest, saw Li Beifeng who broke in.

"Bei, Brother Beifeng...what's wrong?"

Li Beifeng stared at Li Xinyi's face for a long time.

An unbelievable thought came to mind!

"My heart!"

Li Beifeng's voice was a little low: "Let me ask you, have you seen any strange people tonight?"

Li Xinyi looked confused and confused, shaking his head: "No, no?"

She saw Li Beifeng's uncomfortable expression and asked cautiously: "What, what's wrong?"

"fine!"

Li Beifeng shook his head: "You should rest early!"

After speaking, Li Beifeng turned and left.

Li Xinyi was left standing in the room, always at a loss.

…

night.

The second floor of the courtyard.

Li Suyi put down the book in her hand, stood up slowly, and stretched her body.

He lowered his head and glanced at the baby in his belly, his cold eyes filled with tenderness.

She turned around slowly, planning to take a rest.

At this moment, he stopped again and looked back.

Outside the room door, there was a figure.

"Suyi?"

"Um?"

Outside the door, Li Beifeng looked at her with a slightly heavy expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Something happened!"

Li Beifeng hesitated for a moment, then explained what happened tonight to her.

After finishing speaking, Li Suyi nodded silently and did not express an opinion.

"He Wansheng has seen his inner thoughts. I suspect that he...may have recognized his inner thoughts!"

Li Beifeng said solemnly.

He had to think about the worst.

Back then, when Li Beifeng was in Chaoyang County, he was recognized by the old beggar at a glance.

He is similar to the Northern Qi Emperor and Empress in some aspects.

And mind. He is also similar to Li Beifeng in some aspects.

Although this similarity is not obvious, most people cannot see it.

Li Xinyi has not been recognized by anyone in Sunset City for more than ten years, which is enough to explain the situation.

But just because most people can’t see it doesn’t mean that no one can’t see it!

After all, Xinyi is a bloodline of the Northern Qi royal family, and her appearance still inherits that of the Northern Qi emperor and empress in some aspects.

And that He Wansheng happened to be a very crucial person.

He was one of the generals who destroyed Northern Qi!

When Sunset City was defeated, he had a lot to do with it.

At the same time, he was also the one who had seen the Northern Qi Emperor and Queen with his own eyes.

So……

Is there a possibility...

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng already had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Tell me, is this possible?"

Li Beifeng raised his head and looked at Li Suyi.

There was a hint of thought in Li Suyi's calm eyes. After a moment, she nodded: "Yes!"

This is probably the only reason that can be explained at the moment.

"We may be in trouble!"

Li Beifeng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

This is Beizhou, although it is indeed the gathering place of the old Northern Qi tribe.

But at the same time, this is still Dazhao’s territory.

And that He Wansheng, he is not only the God of War of Dazhao, but also the governor of Beizhou!

All the soldiers and horses in Sunset City are under his control.

Once an accident occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Looks like we have to move again!"

Li Beifeng spoke.

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Li Suyi glanced at him and shook her head slightly.

Li Beifeng was startled: "Why?"

"Even if he recognizes Xinyi's identity, I'm afraid he won't take it too seriously!"

Li Suyi shook her head slightly and glanced at him: "What do you think, He Wan gave birth to this person?"

"What aspect are you referring to?"

"Talent!"

Li Beifeng thought for a moment: "He is very powerful!"

This is his evaluation!

He can be called the God of War of Jozhao, and he can single-handedly rebuild Sunset City, which was originally in ruins, sit on the border of Jozhao, and stabilize the situation in Beizhou...

It is enough to show that He Wansheng is a very powerful person!

Whether it is military ability or political talent, this person is probably not simple.

"So, what do you think..."

Li Suyi glanced at him: "He is such a capable person, and he has tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers and horses, but for so many years, he has never been able to completely wipe out the soldiers and horses of the old Northern Qi army?"

"Why do masters and the others act so unscrupulously in Beizhou, but are rarely sanctioned?"

Li Beifeng was stunned.

This question...

He had never thought about it before, but when Su Yi lifted him up, Li Beifeng suddenly realized something.

He raised his head in disbelief and quickly calmed down: "So that's it..."

He got it!

He Wansheng, who holds tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, is not only the biggest enemy of the old Northern Qi army, but also a serious concern of the Jokhang court!

It was impossible for the imperial court to let any Wansheng control so many soldiers and horses, and He Wansheng naturally knew this.

Once he calmed down the situation in Beizhou, he would wipe out the old troops of Northern Qi and completely uproot them.

What awaits He Wansheng then will definitely not be promotion and wealth, but disaster!

Once he has no use value, a butcher's knife will definitely be waiting for him.

Therefore, the current chaos in Beizhou is probably all under He Wansheng's control.

All this was done by him.

The old Northern Qi party was also indulged by him.

As long as Beizhou is in chaos, the court will not dare to touch him easily.

If the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty are not eradicated, his military power will always be in his hands.

"High, really high!"

Li Beifeng couldn't help but admire.

"His skills are really brilliant!"

"..."
