The best ring

In Qingyuan County, in a rather simple, even crude house, Xu Dashan was sitting in the hall watching tea. Apart from Xu Dashan, there was no one else in the entire residence.

"Brother Xu, you're fine." When Xu Dashan finished his third cup of tea and was about to pour himself a fourth cup, a familiar voice sounded outside the house.

Xu Dashan looked up and saw several people walking towards him. The leader was still an acquaintance of his.

Li Xun!

Li Xun, like Xu Dashan, is one of the four guardians under Ran Guang. They have the same status and have a lot of contact with each other on weekdays. They have a good relationship with each other.

However, Li Xun is a bloodthirsty person. Every time he fights, he will kill many people, regardless of whether the opponent is a soldier or a civilian, whether the opponent is fighting them or has laid down his weapon and surrendered, as long as the murderous intention in Li Xun's heart has not dissipated. , he will not stop.

Xu Dashan couldn't stand this, and he tried to persuade Li Xun. However, Li Xun didn't seem to care. On the contrary, he enjoyed this feeling. Before he was sent to Qingyuan County to perform the hidden mission, Xu Dashan had already They were somewhat alienated from Li Xun, but neither Ran Guang nor Li Xun noticed this.

"Sure enough, he's here!" Xu Dashan thought to himself when he saw the person coming, but said to Li Xun calmly: "Li Xun, why are you here?"

"I'm here to meet an old friend, aren't you welcome?" Li Xun walked straight in with a few cronies, and then sat down on the chair next to Xu Dashan, looking at Xu Dashan with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Old friend?" Xu Dashan said lightly: "Do you know that I am an official now and you are a bandit? We are no longer the same person."

"You are an official and I am a bandit?" The smile on Li Xun's face continued: "You have reminded me that you have surrendered to the court, so should I call you Master Xu or General Xu?"

"You brought so many people to my residence, aren't you afraid that I will have you arrested?" Xu Dashan looked at Li Xun calmly and said: "You know, you are still very serious in Mr. Wu's heart. If I arrest you, I will It’s a great achievement.”

"Catch me, is there anyone else in your residence besides you?" Li Xun deliberately looked around and said to Xu Dashan with a smile: "Master Xu, your place is really shabby, not to mention the shabby living conditions. He doesn’t even have a servant, so this is how Wu Fan treats his defectors, isn’t he afraid of chilling people’s hearts?”

"I live well here, and Lord Wu values ​​me very much." The indifferent expression on Xu Dashan's face finally disappeared, and his voice became colder, as if he was quite unhappy.

"Is this okay? I think it's not as good as the time you had under the commander before. He Wu Fan doesn't take you to heart at all." Li Xun also put away his smile and his face became serious: "Da Shan "Come back, the commander is waiting for you. When you come back, wouldn't it be great for you and me to join forces again and kill all the dog officials in the world? Do you have to suffer this kind of crime?"

"Master Wu values ​​me very much! Now that I have surrendered to Master Wu, I will never look back." Xu Dashan said solemnly.

Having said that, a trace of unwillingness and regret appeared deep in Xu Dashan's eyes. Although it passed away briefly, it was still discovered by Li Xun, who had been staring at him.

"Does he value you? I think he is deceiving you!" Li Xun said, "Did he lead his troops to take command?"

"How do you know?" Xu Dashan was suddenly startled and said, "You have been staring at this place?"

"Not bad." Li Xun said: "To be honest, not only am I here this time, but the commander is also here. However, he has not entered the city. Dashan, wake up. Wu Fan doesn't like you at all. You He was born as a civilian and also served as a rebel. As for him, he was not only a Qing Dynasty man but also a rebel. The magistrate of the distant county is a viscount and a noble! These people never take us people seriously. In their eyes, we are just untouchables. He only recruits you because he wants you to be him. Your lackey will never believe you."

"No, Mr. Wu is different from other officials!" Xu Dashan said.

"Different? What's the difference?" Li Xun sneered and said, "Tell me, if he believed you, why did he bring all the other troops in the city this time, but just left you and your men behind? "

"Wu... Master Wu has his own considerations." Xu Dashan's expression changed obviously, and his unwillingness became more obvious.

"Consider? Consider what? In the final analysis, I just don't believe you." Li Xun said: "Da Shan, listen to me, you will never be reused under him, or even wait for the day when he finds that you are of no use. , will also settle old scores and deal with you. By then, it will be too late for you to regret it!"

"I believe Mr. Wu would not do that!" Xu Dashan said.

"By the time he really does that, it will be too late! Have we met too many officials over the years? Which official have you seen who is a good person? He is just using you now. If he really uses you, I believe you, I won't let you live in a place like this, and I won't leave you alone during this expedition," Li Xun continued to persuade.

Xu Dashan was silent, with hesitation on his face, as if he was moved, but also seemed to have doubts.

"But I betrayed the commander. Will he still accept me and believe me?" Xu Dashan asked hesitantly.

Seeing that Xu Dashan was really persuaded by him, Li Xun was very excited. He quickly said: "Of course you will. You have been following the commander for many years, and the commander has always believed in you. This time, you were forced to surrender. Then Wu Fan, I believe the commander can understand, and I will speak for you. As long as you are willing to come back, it is definitely possible. "

"I'm still a little worried. You also know that the commander hates people who betray him the most. Although I have a reason for the incident, the commander must still have a grudge in his heart." Xu Dashan said.

"What you said makes some sense." Li Xun said, "However, there is an opportunity right now. As long as you seize it, the commander-in-chief will believe in your loyalty, and you will also make a great contribution."

"What chance?"

"Let us enter the city!" Li Xun said.

"Let you enter the city? You have many people here?" Xu Dashan asked.

"Yes, not only did the commander and I come, the commander also brought all his elite troops." Li Xun said.

"Then over there at the station..." Xu Dashan said in surprise.

"That is a trap and a cover. It is a trap and a cover prepared for Wu Fan. Our real target is Qingyuan County!!" Li Xun said with a proud smile: "Wu Fan is definitely finished this time, Dashan, as a friend , I don’t want to see you end up with Wu Fan, come back while you still have the chance.”

Xu Dashan slowly put away the shock on his face, hesitated for a long time, slammed the table, and said loudly: "Okay! I listen to you!"
